Arthur Weasley strode purposefully through the doors to the bank, a letter clutched in his hand while Bill and Charlie walked behind him. Arthur went up to the closest teller and waited for the goblin to look up from his work. He had always respected the goblins for dealing with wizards even though they knew that most wizards looked down on them, and he also tried to instill that same respect into his children. The only ones that never learned had been Percy, Ron, and Ginevra, they were all caught up in thinking that they were better than everyone. Even Molly acted that way when she thought he wouldn’t notice.

When the goblin finally looked a few minutes later, Arthur put the letter down on the desk. “I was summoned by a Mr. Ragnarok to see Harry Potter, Fred Weasley, and George Weasley in his office.”

“Ah yes. We’ve been expecting you Lord Weasley, Heir Apparent Weasley, and Heir Weasley. If you would follow Grimstone, he will lead you to your destination.

“Thank you.” Arthur said with a bow, “May your gold prosper.”

“What do you think this is about, Dad?” Bill asked on the way to Ragnarok’s office.

“I don’t know Bill, but I have a feeling, that we won’t like the news.” Arthur answered with some trepidation.

“Hey, before I forget. Mom keeps sending me letters asking for more money for her, Ron, Percy, and Ginny. She says that you’re having financial problems. Why didn’t you tell us? I could’ve helped you out.” Charlie questioned looking very concerned for his father.

“Yeah, I’ve been getting the same letters too. I was planning to visit and ask why you were having problems.” Bill said adding to the conversation.

“We haven’t been having any financial issues.” Arthur says confused. “I’ve been doing fine. If anything, I’m actually saving money. There has been talk of me getting a new promotion also.”

“Really?! We’ve been sending little amounts of money to them for months now!! What’s going on?” Bill and Charlie say at the same time.

“I’ll be glad to tell you.”

All three turn to their left and see Remus leaning against the wall in front of a door amused.

“Remus? What are you doing here?” Arthur asked looking at the man.

“Well, if you’re asking what I’m doing in Gringotts then I’ll tell you I’ve been summoned. If you’re asking what I’m doing in the hallway, then I’ll tell you that I’m in the hallway because Harry’s mates had a panic attack and, being the dominant, he sent everyone out of the room so that he could calm them down. I’m all the way down here, because I could hear them moaning any closer.” Remus said amused.

“Where’s Fred and George?” Bill asked from next to Arthur, looking around.

“You’ll see.” Remus said mysteriously with a hint of a smile on his lips. Remus then looked towards Grimstone and said, “You have been a tremendous help. If you could please find Ragnarok and tell him we’re ready for him; that would be great.”

“Yes Sir.” The goblin said with a small nod of his head saying he would do as asked.

“Great. You three follow me. Let’s see if they are decent enough to enter.” Remus said leading them to a door halfway down from where Remus had been standing at the entrance of the hallway. Thankfully it was quiet when they got to the door.

Just in case they had just put up silencing charms, Remus knocked on the door and waited a second before yelling. “Harry! I’m here with Arthur, Bill, and Charlie. They would like to meet your mates.”

As they waited for the door to open, Bill got impatient and asked the question that was on all three of the Weasley men’s mind. “Why don’t you just go in? You told them we were here and Harry sees you as an honorary godfather. I’m sure he’ll forgive you for barging in.”

The other two Weasley men nodded, thinking the same.

“That is where you are wrong. If Harry was human with a boyfriend then he would be okay with me doing that. But Harry is not human and he is a dominant creature. Those together with the fact that I am also dominant, I cannot enter the room until he opens the door.”

“Then what about us? Would we be able to enter the room without his permission?” Charlie said interested with the conversation.

To the shock of everyone, it was Arthur who answered this one. “No, if he wasn’t calming them down, and possibly if they had both, done the mating bite and physically mated we could. But since he is calming them down, we for sure are not allowed in. And I’m guessing they at the most haven’t physically bonded which means he will be very volatile about who is near them, who touches them, and who tries to disrupt his dominance. If he senses another dominant he will challenge them to prove to his mates that they chose correctly in letting him be their mate. I’m guessing he did so to you Remus?”

“Yes, he did.” Remus says shocked that he was on the nose for this. It looked like Harry might be on to something with Arthur having been obliviated. “I lost it so I must differ to him in situations like this. If I had one, then he would have been obligated to let me in no matter what he was doing.”

“Now that you’ve had a chance to gossip about me and my mates. Why don’t we talk?”

Daily Prophet Special

Weasley Family Friend or Foe?

By: Rita Skeeter

Today in Diagon Alley interesting information was found out by yours truly. It started out as a normal day, Harry Potter, The Chosen One, and surrogate family showed themselves for a bit of before school shopping when everything went wrong.

A few minutes after entering there was a disturbance. The Weasley family had tried to take some money out of their vaults and found that there was none to take. When they questioned the goblins, they were told that the reason they had no money was because it had been seized to pay back all the money that they had stolen from one Harry Potter. That wasn’t even the worst that happened inside Gringotts readers!

It was also found out just before the Weasleys were thrown out of Gringotts that Harry Potter, our Chosen One, the Boy-Who-Lived, had been written, illegally I might add, into a marriage contract to one Ginevra Weasley. It is also sad to say that for all those young bachelors and bachelorettes that think they might have a chance now, I must inform you that he is in love. Yes, during his 17th birthday he went through a creature inheritance and has found his mates. Yes I said mates, as in plural. He is happily mated to the two young entrepreneurs Fred and George Weasley of Weasley Wizard Wheezes.

If that isn’t bad enough, there was another altercation in Diagon Alley a few hours after the Gringotts Incident. The Weasleys, accompanied by Order members Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks as well as Harry Potter’s former friend, Hermione Granger, were just outside of Gringotts supposedly waiting for Harry and his mates to come out when a Howler was sent to them.

Inside the Howler was information that, I have to say shocked me to the core. If it wasn’t enough that Molly was stealing from Harry Potter, she was also asking for her eldest sons’ hard earned money. If that wasn’t enough, something truly drastic happened as well readers.

In that Howler, Molly Weasley, Percy Weasley, Ron Weasley, and Ginny Weasley were cast out of the Ancient House of Weasley and became Molly Prewett, Percy Prewett, Ron Prewett, and Ginny Prewett. That wasn’t all readers. It turns out that Fred and George were eligible to take over the Lordship of the Ancient House of Prewett and did so with glee. They also cast out the four of their house making them Molly noname, Percy noname, Ron noname, and Ginny noname as well as made them enemies of their house along with Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and Hermione Granger.

You would think that was the end but it wasn’t. Our very own Harry also made them enemies of all five of his houses. Yes readers, five houses. Those houses are Potter, Black, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Peverell. He not only made them enemies but decreed that they would not be allowed to enter any of the houses of his unless it was open to the public for as longs as they had to be here, allowing Hermione, Ron, and Ginny to go to school until they graduate. Ms. Hermione looked suitably horrified at that, we assume that she had been planning to stay on as a teacher in her later years.

The last thing said has puzzled me readers. Harry told the Weasleys to inform Percy Weasley that if he [Harry] saw him he would kill him and if Percy tried to go near the twins or retaliate on their business, then he would share Percy’s secret with the media. What is so incriminating a secret that Harry can threaten someone with it? I will tell you readers that I will not rest until I find out what this secret is.
