HP: In The Magical World As a An Extra [ Chapter 69 ] (Patreon)

Harry swallowed hard as he looked at me as I saw the same look of hope in eyes as I did before but then Daphne spoke up again.

"Like it or not Potter its your responsibility, House Potter is one of the oldest magical houses with a seat in the Wizengamot, like Magnus said it is just as old as both his house and mine."

"As such it has acquired a large amount of voting power over the years and if you refuse to accept your responsibility you are letting not only your ancestors down but doing a great disservice to the entire magical community at large."

Daphne stated firmly and passionately making me look to her, I guess the thought of some such responsibilities being ignored struck a chord with her.

"B-But I wouldn't even know where to start, I just found out a month ago that I was a wizard, and now you're all saying that when I turn seventeen that I'm going to be an important lord." Harry clearly starting to worry more and more.

I put my hand on his shoulder again, "Harry, calm down, you don't have to take up your responsibilities for another six years, you have time to learn, same as me, I've got your back cousin." I smiled trying to reassure him.

I watched as Harry took several deep breaths nodding as he tried to calm himself down and I nodded in approval.

He was honestly taking it better than I thought he would and I mentally patted myself on the back, this should throw a wrench into some things in the future.

I looked over to see Tracey looking on in approval as well, but Daphne had a worried look in her eye I could tell that she was thinking about something worrisome.

I made a mental note to talk with her later, I was still learning everything about the magical world, chances are she's likely thought of something that I haven't yet.

Turning my attention back to Harry I patted his shoulder, "listen, me Daphne and Tracey will be holding regular study groups starting next week after we've gone through our first week of lessons."

"We're… not to impressed by the current standard of some of the classes and are going to study up on our own, plus the girls are going to help to pick up the lessons that I'll need for when I become Lord Black, you're more than welcome to join us seeing as you're in the same boat as me in that regard." I offered him.

I watched as he let out a breath that was clearly a sigh of relief as he nodded, "yeah, thanks, I think I will, it would be a huge help if I'm going to be a lord someday like you all are saying." He smiled.

I nodded in approval, "good, glad to have you"

Harry smiled at me before looking down seeming to think for a moment before looking back to me, "um listen, could you maybe... Tell me more about my family, you seem to know more about them than I do, and I'd like to know if I have any more cousins that are gonna come out of the woodwork." He asked rather embarrassed.

I chuckled, "Sure thing Harry, come on let's go to find somewhere to chat, we've got a couple hours before we have classes again." I said as I began to lead him down the corridor before looking back to Daphne and Tracey, "I'll catch up with you two later, see you both in Charms, raincheck on the library?"

Both of them nodded back to me as we walked on, but I still noticed a worried look in Daphne's eyes, yes I would definitely have to talk with her later on.

Hogwarts Headmasters office:-

Dumbledore sat behind his desk stroking his beard, now to most who would look at him would think that he was just pondering over some idle thoughts.

But in truth, he was concerned with more pressing matters, the twinkle in his eye dimmed as he was deep in thought about certain events as of late.

The young Black heir was a piece he hadn't planned for, though the boy seemed to be nothing like some of the past members of his family, he seemed just like any orphan boy his age.

But at the same time, Dumbledore didn't like it when pieces came out of the blue like this, but nevertheless, he would press on with his plans.

He would just have to remain cautious, while the boy hadn't been placed in the snake den like so many of his house before him.

A Ravenclaw placement was still troublesome, those of that house had often proven to be difficult for the headmaster to read and the Black heir would prove to be no exception, especially with Andromeda Tonks watching the boys back.

Albus couldn't help but scowl slightly as he cursed the meddlesome woman, she never trusted him even when she was a student at Hogwarts.

It was so unfortunate that the woman had managed to gain guardianship of the boy before Albus had found out about his heritage, the Black fortune and the Black votes would have made a large difference to Albus's reach in the magical world.

It would mean that the dark would have had even less influence in future Wizengamot sessions with the Black votes now out of the Malfoys reach, but now that Andromeda had control over her families votes again Albus knew that would spell trouble.

The woman would likely just vote in opposition of whatever his own party voted for which was going to spell trouble for any future legislation he might wish to try and pass through others.

Alas there was nothing he could do about that matter for the time being, Andromeda had proven in the past that she was capable of looking out for a child, her daughter Nymphadora was testament to that a trainee Aurora and if what his old friend Moody told him, a promising one at that, if a little young.
