I forgive you: Chapter 54

Harry's POV
I woke up to someone shaking me gently. When I opened my eyes, it was Remus. When I looked at Neville, he was also being woken by Alice, and so was Draco being woken by Narcissa.

"Come on, cub. You have to wake up. We have to go to Wizengamot today. It is my first time taking over my seat there, and I want to be early." He said.

I smiled at him and nodded.

He picked me up and gave me a bath. Then, put on the best silk clothes Sirius bought for me with both the Potter and Black crests on the arms of the dress. It was royal blue with a black border and looked pretty cool.

Severus was already present when we went to the dining room. Remus fed me some soup and milk and gave me to Severus so that he could get dressed as well.

Draco was also wearing a blue dress, but it was of a darker shade than mine. Neville was wearing crimson with black borders.

Sirius was wearing his red auror uniform while Remus was wearing robes that matched mine.

Severus was, as usual, donning black robes to perfection. The only difference was that his hair was not greasy. It was styled to lay at the sides of his face neatly. Moiz was also wearing black robes with emerald green borders indicating Slytherin colors.

Lucius and Narcissa were wearing royal blue with midnight blue borders.

Alice and Frank were wearing burgundy with barn red border robes.

Regulus was wearing completely black like Severus, but his robes were made of Acromantula silk instead of normal silk that Severus was wearing. Barty was twinning with Regulus.

The floo flared, and the Lestrange twins walked in with another man. All of them were wearing dark purple robes. He must be their father since they had some resemblance to him.

"Welcome to Slytherin Manor, Lord Lestrange." Moiz said.

"You do not need to call me that, Moiz. We are friends. You can call me Rufus." Rufus Lestrange said.

"You do not like formalities, do you, Rufus?" The portrait of Abraxas said from the wall it was stuck to in the lounge.

"No, Abraxas, I do not." Rufus laughed.

"I know I do not need to remind you but do be careful. The coot still has power and support. Be alert at all times." Abraxas said.

"We have Moiz there. Why do you need to be worried. This man is as paranoid as Alastor Moody when in the company of the coot." Rufus said.

"Now, now. Do not make fun of me." Moiz said. Then, the three burst out laughing.

"I wish Nott was here to see this. He would be stunned to death." Abraxas laughed.

"I know." Rufus smiled.

"Go now. You have to be there early." Abraxas shooed us away.

Severus and Moiz walked to the floo and flooed to the ministry with me in Severus' arms.

Remus, Sirius, Regulus, and Barty followed right after. Then, the Longbottoms, Malfoys, and the Lestranges walked into the floo and arrived at the ministry.

We briskly walked to the trial room and took our seats.

Sirius hugged Remus, Regulus, and me and walked to the ministry cells to be with the aurors escorting Dumbledore to the trial room.

When we looked around, we could spot Arthur walking in. Now that the feud was revoked, he could regain his seat and vote. When he saw us, he smiled and walked to us.

"Where are the children, Arthur?" Remus asked.

"They are with Muriel. I will be representing the Prewetts as well, since the twins and Muriel are unable to come today." Arthur said, smiling. He then ruffled my hair and sat beside Remus.

Arthur had finally noticed Regulus and gaped.

"I know it is hard to believe, but they really did get me back." Regulus said with a smile.

"It is good to have you back, Regulus. I believe you are representing Black today." Arthur said after a while with a warm smile.

Regulus nodded.

"What about you, Severus?" Arthur asked.

"Prince, Ravenclaw, and Peverell." Severus said.

"The remaining?" Arthur asked.

"Remus will represent Gryffindor and Potter and his own house, Lupin. Moiz will be representing his own Slytherin and Gaunt, as well as Emrys and Lefay. Frank will represent his own house, Longbottom. Alice will be representing House of Fortescue and House of Hufflepuff." Severus said.

"You would be ruling the Wizengamot then." Arthur said in shock.

Our houses combined had more than half the votes. The founding houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, had 10 votes each. Emrys and Lefay had 15 each, being the royal houses of Britain. Malfoy, Black, Prince, Peverell, Potter, Longbottom, Fortescue, Weasley, and Prewett had 8 votes each, each one being the most ancient and noble houses of magical Britain. Malfoys, Blacks, Longbottoms, and the Lestranges had a lot of families aligned to them and would vote for what the Lord or representative of these families voted for.

I forgive you: Chapter 29

Harry's POV "She might have felt the dark mark getting lighter. She knew you went to the Potters. If something happened there, she decided to go to the Longbottoms and get the information she wanted. She found their secret keeper, made him reveal their secret place, and tortured them before the aurors captured her. Rodolphus, Rabastan, and Barty were also captured with her." Severus said. "The Lestrange twins were sane enough not to go after the Longbottoms. And Barty, he would always listen to me. Why did they go? Bella, I can understand. She has lost what little sanity she had after being the target of many crucios. But them, I can't." Tom said. He looked lost. Severus sighed. "Rodolphus, Rabastan, and Barty went to stop her. But she imperiused them to help her. When the aurors arrived, they didn't bother to check if they were under the Imperius curse and threw them into Azkaban." "What can we do?" Tom asked. "Only the...

I forgive you: Chapter 23

Sirius' POV When we asked Ragnok for our money to be returned, Ragnok gave a predatory smile. Now I understood why my family told the younger generations never to get on the bad side of the Goblin nation. Ragnok then excused himself and said he would be making arrangements to return our money within 24 hours. Mortem had appeared again beside Severus. Severus must have shielded his emotions. He didn't even flinch when he saw Mortem beside him all of a sudden, though he held Harry a little tighter. "The sun has already risen. Please take a few pepper-up potions. Severus, you have to go back and teach." And handed a potion for each of us. We gladly took the potion and downed them. Mortem gave Severus a ring. "Give this to master when he wakes up. It has all my hollows in it. As the 'Master of Death', it is master's right to have these Hollows. Also, tell him that I have collected the remaining horcruxes. When master wants, I can stitch all the soul pie...

I forgive you: Chapter 25

Severus' POV After reading Harry's inheritance test, I was fuming. I reckon that is the same issue for Sirius and Remus. Remus' eyes were now completely golden, and he was growling quite nicely. I wish the coot was here to witness it. He'd pale dramatically. A few moments later, Harry started to wake. "Harry is starting to wake up. Be quiet." I whispered harshly to Sirius and Remus. They instantly became quiet. This showed that they cared a great deal about Harry. Then, Sirius slowly got up from Remus' lap and whispered, "I am going to take off the body bind. Will Moony come out?" Remus shook his head. "No. Moony wants to see Harry waking up more than killing the coot." He whispered softly. His growling has also stopped. Sirius had taken the body bind off, and they walked to Harry and me. Mortem was already beside me the moment he noticed Harry shifting slightly in my arms. When Harry slowly crunched his nose and tried to g...
