"I suspect it was because of his age and that you're pushing your magic into him, even it's for the twins."

"Maybe, but for him collapsing caused me almost to panic."

"Almost? You growled at everyone who came near him."

"Well."

"Don't apologize. It's a natural reaction, especially with everything that happened before."

"Hm. I just hope there are no other surprises. I hate to see Severus laying in a hospital bed."

"Agreed."

There were silence for a while until Harry saw Narcissa coming in with Draco.

"Lady Black."

"Harry, please call me Narcissa. We wanted to check, if Severus was awake."

"No, just the same like before. He wasn't able to stay awake for longer as a minute yet."

"I see."

"Narcissa. I was wondering about Ron. Have you decided what to do with him? Nobody had heard about him, since you got the title. I know that he had hoped to become heir, because Sirius is his father."

"Did you not hear? He run to Arthur, begging him to take him back as soon as Sirius explained that he wasn't longer Lord Black and that Ron wouldn't be the heir. I don't even know, how he got the idea the first place.", scoffed Draco.

"Did you disown him?" Draco laughed.

"That idiot did it himself. Yelling at mother, that he won't accept her as Lady Black and would prefer to be a wizard with no name."

"Idiot indeed. What did Arthur?"

"Rumors are saying that he just looked at Ron, who was on his knees, begging and trying to kiss Arthur's shoes. The man wasn't impressed and just turned around, closing his door right into Ron's face."

Harry shook his head. He didn't know what he had expected, truly that wasn't it. "The twins were also there and cast a few hexes on Ron until he fled the scene. No one knows where he is right now, but we think he's with Black and Lupin."

"Hm. And where are they living? I'm a little surprised that neither of them had tried to contact me, to be honest."

"My cousin asked me, if he could live in the small cottage, which is close to Hogsmeade. Of course, I refused, because I don't want him near Hogwarts. I made him the offer to keep Grimmauld Place, because I have no love to that house. Draco and I will live in Hogwarts anyway and should we leave, we'll have enough other mansions we can live in or staying for the holidays. The only think I did was to remove all the books and anything else from the place, so Sirius wouldn't destroy them. I've to thank you to keep our family treasures safe. I'm sure he would have burned all of it by now."

Harry waved with his hand. "It was my pleasure. He told me, what he wanted to do, but I cast a ward around the library to prevent him from destroying it. He actually had no clue it was me. When you became Lady Black, I modified the wards, so you'd be able to take all the books and anything else what was inside. I was sure you wouldn't stay at this place."

"What about your sister?", asked Draco in a mocking tone, which let Harry growl.

"She isn't my sister. I refuse to acknowledge her as a sibling. James might be her father, but he wasn't mine, even if he blood-adopted me. I got a letter from Gringotts, saying she demanded access to the Potter vaults. To her immense displeasure, it was denied to her, except for a small trust vault. As Lord Potter, I also send her a warning. If she won't finish school, she won't be able to get any access to other vaults. Should she cause any trouble or bring shame to the Potter name, I'll disown her. I may have no love for James Potter, but I researched the family and you could say James was the black sheep in the family. I won't allow her to cause more harm to the Potter name."
