The next morning Harry was woken up by a large barn owl at his window. He let it in and grabbed a few owl treats for it before taking the letter it had. He smiled as he read, it was the interview he had with Miss Anderson. He read through it a couple of time as he ate breakfast before he signed off on it. He sent Miss Anderson a note telling her that he approved of the story and that she could publish it the next morning. He readied himself for another grueling day of lessons with Narcissa followed up by dinner with them and Hermione. Draco had invited her and she agreed to go. She wasn’t sure how she was going to get away from the Weasley’s, but she would try. Harry couldn’t have been a happier person. His life was doing a complete 180 from what it was before and he had never truly been this happy before. With a shake of his head he flooed to the manor.
“Morning Harry. How are things?” Draco asked as Harry dusted himself off.
“Things are good. I have an interview being publish tomorrow morning that is a tell all about my life and my inheritance. Just a heads up since I did mention your family helping me.”
“I’m sure father will be pleased with the good publicity. It may help to change some opinions about us to the better. Although it will make us enemies as well.”
“Same here, but we have dealt with people against us before. The only difference is that this time we will be fighting the same people.”
The boys chatted as they made their way to the garden.
“Mother wants to start you on dining and tea etiquette today. This is her pet peeve so she will be a lot harsher than yesterday.”
Harry groaned as he remembered how she drilled the different titles and ways to address people, both in public and in letters, into his head. He knew he would need to practice to get it right all the time but he remembered the basics.
“Good morning boys.”
“Good morning Lady Malfoy.” Harry replied with a slight bow.
Narcissa smiled. She was happy to see him practicing the titles she taught him. She suggested that he practice on her and Lucius since everyone was of a lower rank than him even though he was still called Lord.
“Very nice Harry. Now, real quick, I want to go over what I taught yesterday before we start dining etiquette.”
Harry and Draco sat as Narcissa pulled out a list from under the table. She started to read off family names and Harry had to give the proper title for the lord and lady of those families. He missed a few, but overall Narcissa was pleased with how quickly he was picking things up.
“Wonderful! Now, we are going to start with proper tea etiquette and then move on to dining.”
With that said she launched into the proper manners for tea. Who served who, what spoons to use, how much to eat, the list was endless. Harry felt overwhelmed by how strict proper manners where and this was just for tea! Narcissa had to correct him several times on how to sit and which silverware to use. Harry could hear Draco trying not to laugh as Narcissa hovered around him pulling him straighter in his seat or adjusting his napkin placement. They were just finishing up when Lucius arrived.
“Ah, Lord Potter, I have some news for you from the bank. Would you like to talk here in in my study?”
“Here is fine.” Harry replied, thankful for the quick end to the lesson.
Lucius sat down and pulled a few letters out of his jacket pocket.
“I received word from my assets appraiser, the one who will look over your home. He said he would gladly help he just needs the addresses. I will send those to him this afternoon if you like, prioritizing them as you see fit.”
“Wonderful! The only order I have is Potter Manor first, the rest can be put down in any order.”
“Very well. Next I received a missive from the bank. They have started the process of having your stolen funds and heirlooms, not associated with the founder vaults, returned to you. Dumbledore should be receiving a letter from the shortly.”
Harry grinned. He knew that once Dumbledore received that letter he would fight it. He would contact Harry or the bank to try and “fix” the error.
“Third, I received a letter from the Board of School Governors. It seems that the wards on Hogwarts have been breached by an unknown magical signature.” Lucius raised one graceful eyebrow.
“That’s easy enough to explain. Griphook mentioned me being keyed into them when I was keyed into the vaults.”
Lucius nodded and looked over his final letter.
“This one is for you to sign once you look it over. It is the business contract I had drawn up.” Lucius handed it over to Harry.
Harry put it in his jacket pocket to read later.
“Thank you Lord Malfoy. I will read it over tonight and if I have any changes I want to make I will address them with you after my next lesson.”
“Very well, Lord Potter. Anything else?”
“Yes, I did a tell all interview a few days back. I cleared it this morning for publication tomorrow morning. I mentioned your family helping me so be prepared for some backlash.”
Lucius couldn’t help but smile. Harry really knew how to turn the world on its head and drag others with him.
“Thank you for the warning. If that is all, I’ll leave you to you dining lesson before Miss Granger arrives.”
Lucius took his leave heading back to his study.

She was a nervous wreck! She lied to Molly, again, and was going to Malfoy Manor for dinner. What was wrong with her? She knew Harry was publishing his story soon, so everyone would know what was going on. Ron was watching her as she gathered her things.
“Where are you going?” he asked as she walked to the door.
“I’m going out to dinner.” She replied.
“I know that, but where?” Ron was angry all the time. He wanted things his way or no way and Hermione wasn’t playing along any more.
“I don’t know Ron, I wasn’t told where we were going.” Hermione had told them that she was talking to the red head they ran into at the book store a few weeks back and he had asked her out to dinner. It wasn’t a complete lie, but it wasn’t the full truth either. Ron glared as she walked out the door. She would have to tell Harry about his behavior. She was worried that when Harry’s story came out Ron might just snap and do something unforgivable. She made her way to the Leaky Cauldron before flooing to the Manor.
“Good Evening Granger.” She heard as she righted herself.

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful reviews and feed back. I'm glad you all are enjoying reading my story as much as I am writing it. The next two chapters may be a bit on the long side since the next will be the dinner with the Malfoys and Harry's story coming out followed by the reactions to that story. I hope you all enjoy the next few chapters!
