Complications of Pureblood Customs

By Lord Maurya



Chapter 1: How it all started.



Harry Potter, a name that was known throughout the wizarding world, he was the boy-who-lived, who ended the first wizarding war, who slew a thousand year old basilisk, the man who-killed-vanquished-dark-lord.

He was currently descending from the stairs of Gringotts, now that he was of age he had came here to claim his inheritance, his birthright. He was thinking about the unfairness in the wizarding world & how he always found himself in some new dilemma, he had came to Gringotts for what was suppose to be a simple inheritance but after long hours of discussion he had found himself deeply immersed in the pureblood customs, which he had fought against in the war.



*Flashback*

He was sitting with Daphne Greengrass in her room, his girlfriend for the past year, they had just gradated from Hogwarts but she was not happy, for the second wizarding war had ended barely a month ago, but it didn't ended without causalities both sides had lost a lot of people; one of them Daphne's father Walter Greengrass, he stood firm in his neutral stance in the war, as the Greengrass family has always maintained neutrality between the conflicts of light and dark. Since the death of the Greengrass patriarch, the remaining Greengrass family (Daphne, Astoria & their beautiful mother Marlene) have been constantly mourning, Daphne had even tried to end their relationship saying that now her future was unclear and she would not be a worthy suitor but Harry had cleared his intentions saying that he loved her and it was all that matter.



"Daph, I know you are sad about your father, but if you have any other problem just tell Me." she was just opening her beautiful lips to say something when an important looking dark owl landed on the side table. "It's a Gringotts owl." Daphne said with her eyes alight with something like hope. The bird indeed had a letter which was emblazon with a Gringotts seal. As he took the letter, the bird flew out of the window without wasting a second. The letter concluded that now he had passed his Newt exams, he was eligible for Potters inheritance as was his birthright, and he should meet with Sr. Account Manager Grimfoot within next 24 hours.



Two hours later, he was walking up the stairs to the white marble building fondly remembering the first time he came to Gringotts with Hagrid. It was seven years ago and the then 11 year old Harry was new to the wizarding world. Walking into the building nothing seemed to have changed since that day seven years ago. The goblins went about their daily work, while witches and wizards were waving to him, pointing him out to others and some even tried to shake his hand. Laughing at the feeble people he walked up to the counter and greeted the goblin. "I am here for an appointment with Sr. Account Manager Grimfoot for Potters account."

The goblin bowed to him and greeted him politely. "Good afternoon Mr. Potter please have a seat and agoblin will escort you to Grimfoot."

Harry turned to go to the proffered seat and saw the same goblin who took him to his first cart ride."Why hello Griphook how is you?"

The goblin looked shocked, no one took time to remember a goblin's name, certainly not someone as famous as Harry Potter and he had only met Harry once before. Schooling his shocked expression he answered, "I am fine Mr. Potter. I hope your dealings with us today will increase your gold."

Harry almost laughed at this,/goblins and gold you can't describe one without other/ but said with sincerity."Well Griphook I hope that my dealings will increase gold for Gringotts as well." Griphook smiled a rare smile.



"I thank you for your thoughts for Mr. Potter." said a new voice behind him. Harry turned and greeted the new goblin who he assumed was the Sr. Accounts Manager. He was taller than Griphook, his clothes were of better quality than anyone present in the hall and he had an aura of authority about him. "You are quite welcome. Account Manager Grimfoot, I assume." The goblin gave him a small smile followed by a slight bow, "Yes Mr. Potter I am Sr. Accounts Manager Grimfoot."

"Please call me Harry Sr. Account Manager." said Harry with a smile.

"Only, if you will call me Grimfoot." replied the goblin "If you will come this way."



Harry was led to the back of the bank and into a large office, where one other goblin was seated. He looked older than Grimfoot, older than any goblin Harry ever saw. Grimfoot introduced the elder goblin as Greyhammer, Head of Inheritance Department. Harry bowed to the elder goblin.



Grimfoot offered him a seat and started the meeting. "Mr. Potter, first we would have to do a blood test which will determine all or any inheritance you could claim." Greyhammer set an ornate bowl which was engraved with runes, a dagger which looked like abone and a foot long parchment. Turning to Harry, Greyhammer said in a raspy voice, "Mr. Potter you'd have to cut your palm with the dagger and let some blood flow in the bowl." Harry did as he was told. To which Greyhammer started a long chant in Gobbledegooklanguage with his hand hovering over the bowl, creating a yellow golden light in the bowl. At last when the bowl flashed the brightest golden light, Greyhammer ended his chant and dipped the parchment in the now silver color blood, the parchment soaked all the blood present in the bowl.



After a minute of wait spiral writing started to appear on it:



Harry James Potter



Heir to:



Noble and Most Ancient House of Peverell.



Noble and Most Ancient House of Potter.



Noble and Most Ancient House of Black.



Noble and Most Ancient House of Evans.



Noble and Most Ancient House of Bones.



Noble and Ancient House of Greengrass.



Noble and Ancient House of McGonagall.



Noble and Ancient House of Li.



Noble and Ancient House of Chang.



Noble House of Davis.



Noble House of Abbot.



Harry was shocked at the number of families he was related to. He knew that other than Potter he was also descendent from Peverell and Black House, but he didn't know about others.



After a few minute of shocked silence Harry asked, "How could it be?"



Grimfoot looked at Greyhammer who nodded then answered in a placating tone. "You see Harry, the Potter family is a very old pureblood family that even Gringotts doesn't know how old it is, but unlike other families Potters always allowed new blood to enter the family thus increasing the gene pool, it is one of the reasons that Potters magic is so powerful. Some of the family was only first or second generation purebloods when your family took their females as wife. We had suspected that something along this line will happen with the blood test but even we didn't know that you were heir to so many families. Some of these families' vaults have been dormant for a long time."

"So what will it mean for me?" asked an astonished Harry.

"As for what it means, it is a bit complicated but first we should take care of the houses that do not have remaining members other than you."

"First there is the Potter family, then the Peverell family, and then comes Black and Evans family."



"But I thought my mother was a muggleborn..." trailed of Harry.



"Not apparently. When we first heard of your mother's name we had suspected that she is a member of Evans family through a squib line which had moved to muggle side in fifteenth century. But after completing Hogwarts she involved herself heavily in the war and never came to Gringotts; thus we weren't able to confirm It." answered Greyhammer.



"Ok... how do I claim these houses?"



"All you have to do is wear these rings" said Grimfoot motioning toward the previously unacknowledged boxes. "They will accept you as the new head of the house."



Harry opened the first box, upon the black velvet was resting the Potter family ring; the ring had the potter family crest, two golden griffin standing on their rear limbs supported by a red colored shield, on top of which was written VIRTUTI FORTUNA COMES and at the bottom was POTTER . The ring was a piece of art with trembling hand he took the ring and wore it in middle finger of right hand; it shone bright green with comforting warmth and then shrank on his finger. The procedure followed with other ring, all fighting with dominance to the Potter ring but at last all submitting to it thus merging with it.



"Now that is done, let us come to next order of business. This would be slightly difficult to explain as it is a complicated concept to those who have lived on the muggle side. First Iwould like to know of your understanding of pureblood customs." said Grimfoot with interest.



"Well I know that blood purity is important to pureblood, a lot of them despise muggleborn. As for their customs I only know that some pureblood employ the betrothal contracts."answered slightly embarrassed Harry as he didn't really tried to learn any pureblood customs.



"No, Harry your knowledge of pureblood custom is severely lacking. Pureblood society or the wizarding society as a whole is male dominant society. All pureblood houses are patriarch houses. The magic of whole family is tied to its head of house. When a male reaches the age of seventeen year his magic is released from his head of house; but for the female it is a different case, their magic is always tied to the head of their family, before marriage it is tied to her maiden's Family Head and after marriage her maiden's Family Head will transfer it to the head of she is marrying into." Explained Grimfoot and waited for Harry's upcoming question.



"That is all good, but what is any of it have to do with me?" asked a puzzled Harry.



"What you don't understand is if a head of house dies without another male in the family to take his position, the Head of house position goes to the closest blood relation. And all the other houses you are heir of, are currently without a head. Lord Edger Bones was killed with his wife in their house by some death eaters, who are still unknown; Lord Walter Greengrass was killed in Diagon alley by the wand of Avery; Lord McGonagall was killed by dark wizard leaving his only daughter behind him; Lord Li and Lord Chang were abducted when they had gone for abusiness venture and were later found dead; Lord Davis died yesterday from his injuries in Saint Mungo; and Lord Abbot was killed in the final battle."



"So what would happen if Iaccept to become the head of those houses?" asked Harry.



"You will gain several more seats in Wizengamot and the family vault of course." answered Grimfoot as if it should have been obvious.



"What would I have to do to become the head of remaining houses & what will happen to the remaining family members of these houses if I don't tie their magic?" questioned Harry while thinking about the idea.



"You would have to wear ring for those houses you wish to claim and you will have to tie the magic of remaining members to your main family." answered Grimfoot.



"How would I tie their magic?"asked Harry.



"You would have to physically claim every member." answered Grimfoot.



"Physically...claim... you mean to say sexually." stuttered a red faced Harry.



"Yes you would have to sexually take them by vaginal intercourse or anal intercourse in case of awidow female." answered Grimfoot in a monotone.



"Then I wouldn't do it. Many of them are old like my parents' age. And McGonagall is like one twenty years old." shouted Harry with an incredulous tone.



"No McGonagall's actual age is forty-nine year. She appears this old because there has been no one to tie her magic since her father was killed. You see if a female is left without ahead of family their magic starts to fade away not instantly but more like in four or five years. First they start to age rapidly than eventually they die. In McGonagall's case she would have to be an extremely powerful witch to survive this long but we know that she is weakening and will die within a year."



Harry just sat there listing in a horrified fascination as Grimfoot explained the crux of the situation. Now that he thought about it made more sense of Greengrass' ladies sadness and Daphne's suggestion of breaking up with him.



He asked in a quite tone already knowing that he couldn't allow dying any of them, "Who is the next closest male after me?"



"Draco Malfoy is the next in line to claim the Greengrass and Bones House. As for McGonagall, Li, Chang, Davis and Abbot Houses, they don't have any male heir."





*Flashback Ends*



That's the reason why Harry was cursing the pureblood customs in the middle of Diagon Alley. After the explanation he had wore all the rings which accepted him easily as the new head, making his title Lord Potter-Black-Evans-Peverell-Greengrass-Bones-McGonagall-Li-Chang-Davis-Abbot, with his eleven seats in wizengamot and thirty-nine billion of galleons as his bank balance. He was going to the Greengrass Manor to accept them in his family and tie the magic of female Greengrass to himself.
