The Last of the Starks

Chapter IV

Chapter IV-

The clock struck ten pm sharp when Harry finally began signing the last of the emancipation papers. Who knew there would be so much trouble for the Boy-Who-Lived, especially when it came to his inheritance. What he didn't understand, he had help from Walburga and who he now knew as Phineas Nigellus Black, a Slytherin and past Headmaster at Hogwarts. They helped him through all of the necessary paperwork and signing the necessary documents when needed. Here is how it went:

Black Family~

The Black Family was a very organized and old house, that had originated from France. As such they not only had inland accounts and properties but also offshore ones as well. They also only had Wizarding business contracts, many of which were starting to grow stale. If was not producing a surplus, or losing money, it was cancelled and sold. The overview gave the following:

The overview was very straight forward, showcasing all basic information. He has an Order of Merlin: First Class which he can assign to either the Potter or Black Family, making either one the Fifth Most Noble and Most Ancient House in the world. His two families are the only ones close enough to make such a rank. So he signed the paperwork needed to make the Black Family a Most Noble and Most Ancient House.

Probably one of the best things about being a Lord is control of Marriage Contracts. And it just so happened that a certain blonde also fell under his domain. He could dissolve Dracos Marriage Contract for two reasons: one is that Draco was the Heir Apparent of two houses, and as such needed both Lords' approval or would if reason two wasn't in place; reason two was to do with house rank, Malfoy was a Noble and Ancient House while Black was a Noble and Most Ancient House. As such, Harry had Priority over his 'Heir' and who he married. In this case, he was doing Draco a favour. Draco was due to marry Pansy Patricia Parkinson, Heiress of the Noble House of Parkinson. Draco loathed Pansy and could never stand her. So, Harry dissolved it immediately and will discuss with Draco later on who he would like to marry.

The Potter Family~

The Potter Family was another matter entirely, and that was a complete mess. He hadn't realized what all Dumbledore had done to the Family account. But luckily, most of the damage was contained, as it required a Potter by blood to gain full control of the vaults and estate. Not even Griphook could have escaped those restrictions. As such, there were easy fixes to the estate:
