Last Time:
Narcissa explained and prayed this will be allowed. If not then Dumbledore will have a chance to take him again and she simply could not allow that …

Somewhere in the castle lay three more fragments of a madman’s soul, but the owner of those fragments had no clue one was missing. He was too interested in watching the first period through a charmed pocket mirror. The mirror was showing him everything going on in the potions class, which was going smoothly save for the one thing he specifically wanted to see …
“Why isn’t Severus treating the boy harshly?” Dumbledore muttered under his breath. He wanted there to be a terrible relationship between Harry and Severus Snape. That should be easy considering the bad blood between Severus and James Potter who Harry looked identical to down to the thick glasses. The only difference was the color of his eyes.
The headmaster didn’t know it, but the glasses weren’t even real. Those spectacles were simply a transfigured quill that Lucius gave him when he dropped Harry off in the muggle world. They were useless and Harry didn’t need them at all save for fooling the old wizard.
“Ah … I see now.” Dumbledore sighed as he noticed Severus glance at Sam who was helping Harry with the class potion.
It was then he understood why the potion master wasn’t being as harsh as he expected. Severus was being careful around the new boy. No doubt the potion master was sympathetic to the boy’s tragedy, but unfortunately Harry has taking a liking to the boy so Severus couldn’t be harsh to Harry without frightening Sam. That had to change as far as Dumbledore was concerned.
After all, Harry had to be treated harshly so he only felt safe coming to Hermione, Ron and, of course, the headmaster. However, Dumbledore realized that though the treatment must change soon this may be a useful development. With the right encouragement Sam could be a line straight to Harry. It could be even better than the ‘friendship’ Hermione and Ron were making with Harry.
“Sam is an only child and one that suffered a great loss-” Dumbledore’s thoughts were interrupted when Fawkes flew to her perch and plopped something on his desk. He picked up the letter and saw a Gringotts seal. “What in Merlin’s name is this about?” He said as he opened the envelope and read the contents. “A request for a change in guardianship. I’ll need to see about this now.” He said with an annoyed sigh as he headed for the floo. This wasn’t something he wanted to do now, but he had to get it out of the way. Though it was annoying he was curious as to who needed a new guardian now. For privacy purposes the goblins didn't give a name so he knew nothing and won’t until he speaks with the goblins.
A goblin looked up as Dumbledore flooed into the bank, “Mr. Dumbledore, we’ve been waiting. If you will please follow me.”
Dumbledore nodded and followed the goblin, “Of course … I do hope this goes quickly. I have students to tend to.” He said getting only silence as a response much to his annoyance, but upon entering the room he was guided to his annoyance changed to curiosity.
“Hello, headmaster.” Narcissa said without looking up from the papers on table in front of her.
“It has been a while, Lady Malfoy … may I ask what is going on here?” Dumbledore asked calmly despite the other former students in the room, which wasn’t easy. There was Lucius, Bellatrix, Peter, the Carrow twins, Alecto and Amyous, Rodolphus, Rabastan, Barty, Yaxley and Rowl all standing around Narcissa.
Narcissa finally looked up at the headmaster, “Actually, I’m happy to say I’m now Lady Black.”
Dumbledore frowned as if he cared about the implied divorce, which he really didn’t, “I’m sorry to hear about that. Is Draco why I was asked to be present?”
Lucius shook his head, “On the contrary, nothing is being changed with Draco.”
“You’re here because of Harry Potter.” Narcissa said casually watching Dumbledore carefully for any sign of distress. Of course, there wasn’t a single sign …
“Harry Potter? I’m not sure I follow.” Dumbledore said being careful not to say any more than he had to until the entire situation became clear.
The goblin snapped its fingers making a seat next to the table shrink so he could step on to it before letting it rise so he was properly seated at the table, “Lady Black has requested full guardianship of one Harry Potter and seeing as he is the Black heir she has every right to do so.”
“I see … so I’m not here just as the headmaster of Harry’s school, but as his magical guardian.” Dumbledore mused out loud deciding to let the fact out before the goblin brought it up. In the end it will make things easier and he must admit it was good to see the slightest sign of shock in the eyes of his former students. He will look back on it fondly when he takes full custody of Harry.
Narcissa was surprised that the headmaster admitted his position so easily, but she recovered quickly and went back to the task at hand, “Yes and I will be talking to Harry later today of course, but you must sign some things before that.” She said pointing to the papers on the table that were magically moving closer to Dumbledore along with a quill and ink well.
Dumbledore frowned, “I mean no offense, but I can not allow it considering your former connections and how those connections may bring harm to Harry. I’m sure the goblins will agree it wouldn’t be wise. In fact, I will take full custody if I must. Harry is in school so it will be easier for me to care for him where I couldn’t before with my duties as a headmaster though even then I did leave him with blood relatives to care for him and had someone watching him. I never heard anything that suggested he wasn’t being cared for the way he should be and I made many payments to assist in his care.” He said being very careful to explain all the points that the goblin may bring up, but spin it so he was not at fault if they discovered the truth.
The goblin sneered, “When put like that and considering the charges against those here I would agree in an instant,” he said before the amused sneer grew wider. “However, this is not normal circumstances.” The goblin said and a piece of parchment appeared in front of him.
“How so?” A seemingly curious Dumbledore asked though he was really sighing inwardly as he realized this won’t be as easy as he thought. That was fine though since he was sure he could find many ways to keep Harry under his thumb.
“Quite, it seems all of these people were accused of crimes they did not commit. None were checked for the dark mark. None were given a trial. All spent years in Azkaban for no reason at all, which is where Gringotts has decided to put the ministry in its place.” The goblin said and Narcissa unknowingly held her breath as the goblin scrawled something on the newest parchment. “We will be suing the ministry for very poor conduct and false imprisonment. Seeing that they gave us memories proving none of the crimes they were accused of, including what happened to the Longbottoms, were things they did we have to file guardianship with Lady Black.”
Narcissa inwardly sighed in pure relief, “Thank you, Master Griphook.”
“Our duty is to our client, but more importantly the child. Gringotts is simply doing its job and it would help if you changed things on your end as the headmaster of Hogwarts.” Griphook said giving Dumbledore a dismissive wave much to the amusement of all of those present.
“Yes, of course. It won’t take long. Would you like me to escort young Harry to you after his classes?” Dumbledore offered knowing he couldn’t argue with the goblin. Instead his mind went to securing a spot in Harry’s trust before things got too difficult to explain. He wasn’t worried though since Harry was in school most of the year and he had people working on bonding with Harry. In fact, this development made a feeling of excitement replace his earlier annoyance. This will be a fun game for a change and he was fine with that. It will make their deaths far more satisfying as far as he was concerned.
“No, I will go bring Harry here if you wouldn’t mind giving him a pass on his classes. At least the classes up until lunch so that I may speak with him properly.” Narcissa said calmly as she stood not wanting him to get a moment alone with Harry
“Very well, he will be back in time not just for lunch, but for his first flying lesson.” Dumbledore said with a smile while noticing Bellatrix subtly hide her left arm behind her back. It was faint, but he saw a bit of black peeking out from under the sleeve and it was to know the dark marks still existed. “I noticed that you haven’t brought up Draco in this. It’s not everyday that you basically gain a brother … I hope he adjusts as well. Good day.” Dumbledore said pleasantly as he left to return to Hogwarts.
Narcissa frowned, “It’s like he knows something. Did we show our hand too much?”
“No, Cissa, he’s just not easily rattled.” Bellatrix grinned as she hugged her sister. “Go get Harry and we’ll finish here.”
Griphook nodded seriously, “I would recommend completing these magical contracts. Suing is the most important thing right now. After all, getting their names cleared is the only way you can maintain guardianship of Harry.” The goblin said making sure he keeps the one condition his client wanted …
The one condition being ‘Clear them’. That’s all Narcissa wanted and it was all she needed. Griphook agreed under the one condition that she and all those involved were completely up front in return. Otherwise, the case will fall apart.
“Right … I’ll go.” Narcissa said raising an eyebrow at her sister who was still holding on to her.
Bellatrix pouted, “Fine.” She said and finally let go of her amused sister who quickly left to speak with Harry.
“Dumbledongle didn’t seem too surprised that you guys didn’t torture the Longbottoms.” Peter mused catching everyone’s attention.
Yaxley scoffed, “I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it and let us take the fall.”
“Considering what you told me thus far it’s not entirely surprising, but we have no proof of those actions. Of all the things you told me the only thing that can be proven is that he has a horcrux in a sword, which means nothing its own since the act of making a horcrux is not even documented. Even we can’t charge him for that.” Griphook said not liking that such a disgusting act against nature was going unpunished, but nothing could be done. “For now, let’s focus on clearing all of your charges.”
Rowl frowned in worry, “What will happen if they ask to see our arms? We can’t let it get out that we don’t have the mark while Severus is acting as a spy.”
Griphook snarled, “The ministry has screwed up so badly that they can’t legally investigate you now. If they ask, report it to us and they’ll be reprimanded.”
“Not confirming it should help keep Dumbledore assuming the mark still exists.” Lucius said hopefully, but now he was worried about how Dumbledore will attempt to gain Harry’s trust.
“Quite, but I must ask what happened to Harry’s muggle guardians.” The goblin said, but simply smirked at the witches and wizards who stood there silently. “I’ll just say they were inadequate.” Griphook said as he marked a parchment suspecting that there was more to it, but the details weren’t needed. Especially if they made things difficult for Harry’s guardianship. “We can’t tie Dumbledore to anything criminal. Even if he gave the money he withdrew to the Dursleys and Ms. Figg we can’t prove it was for continued abuse. Those letters you said he sent Ms. Figg have no magic, let alone his own, on them so they can’t be proven as his … and considering the Dursleys and Ms. Figg won’t be returning,” Griphook scoffed in amusement at the silent humans. “He can blame them and it will stick. You want Dumbledore you’ll need something dragon scale clad and get him under Veritaserum for all the rest.”
“I see … thank you, Master Griphook.” Lucius said feeling a little disappointed that this isn’t going to be easy, but it didn’t change anything. They still had to get all the horcruxes so that when they do find something to charge him for he won’t get away …
XXXXXXXXXX
Severus looked up as Narcissa entered his class, “Lady Malfoy, to what do I owe the pleasure?” He said pretending he wasn’t friends with the witch.
“I’m here for Harry and Draco.” Narcissa said looking at both boys who looked genuinely confused, which wasn’t a surprise since they weren’t told yet.
The potion professor was about to say something sarcastic when a charmed piece of paper flew into the classroom and into his hand, “They are free to go.” He said and mentally smiled as Harry and Draco left.
Sam pretended to be clueless. “Wonder what that’s about?”
“Who cares about the snake.” Ron muttered, unknowingly pissing off Tom who sprinkled a little mandrake root on the lionfish spines that Ron tossed into his cauldron. The little tweak resulted in green smoke spraying Ron in the face.
“Idiotic Weasley.” Severus grumbled though he knew who was really responsible. “Class is nearly done so clean up your mess and go.” He said and glance at Tom with an unseen smirk as the students left.
Sam smiled as he saw Harry at lunch, “So, what happened?”
“Something amazing! I’ll give you all the details you need.” Harry said knowing Tom knew most of what happened already, but under the safety of a silencing charm Narcissa told them some details he should know. With an unseen Vesta following them to their flying lesson and warping what they say so it all sounded innocent to passersby Harry explained. Tom wasn’t happy that the horcrux alone couldn’t put Dumbledore away, but hope wasn’t lost as long as they kept their eyes open.
Not unlike the eyes watching them through a mirror right now …
