Politics

"That will be Kingsley Shacklebolt, he will be a light family," Misa explained, continuing her lessons about the Lords of Wizengamot.

"So even if Albus is removed from his position of Chief Warlock, he will have a seat beside me because of his Order of Merlin?"

"Normally noble houses such as Dumbledore's seats are reserved to their liege lords. Since you don't have any, you will have five seats and hold two votes in the session. As for Albus's, his vote is yours to cast because of your Lordship, something I think many Light Lords will contest due to Albus's... experience."

Eren sighed. Politics was not his forte.

"So I fear being ousted by the same people who should be my supporters? Won't it be frowned upon?"

"Well Dumbledore senior is Chief Warlock, so he does not need your seat to make his presence noted. Even if the shouts of child endangerment and friendship with a late Dark Lord have come to light, he still holds much political power. Although I won't count on it."

"Count on what?"

"He does not have a long-term ahead in his office as the Supreme Mugwump if things continue as they are. Dumbledore defeated a Dark Lord, true, but now many countries' representatives have started asking questions. None of which Dumbledore has bothered to entertain. From whom Rita got all of this info on Dumbledore must have been a close one of Albus. I am confused why no one asked if she was the one who killed Aberforth?"

Eren did not give her any reaction, knowing Misa was one of the close ones of Aberforth's.

Aberforth had found her half-dead and starved in Knockturn and had employed her as his inn's barmaid from the age of ten.

Paid her tuition to Beauxbatons, which now he was responsible for for the next two years until she got her NeWTs.

"I still advise you should return to Beauxbatons as Aberforth had wanted. I do not think Hogwarts would accept a new student who is not a first-year."

"That's Hogwash- you won't know until you ask. I am going to mail them my OWLs and then you will see how they beg me to attend "the greatest magical school in the world"" She closed her sentence with a mocking sound.

The gate opened to the Inn and in a hurry, a boy, no younger than Harry's age rushed to them with a newspaper bundle in hand.

"Daily Prophet Afternoon! Just two sickles!" He shouted.

"Two sickles? Is Madam Zabini making an exclusive article their boy?" One of the patrons shouted. 

"I can give three sickles if that's true!" Another shouted.

"No, you doofus!" The boy retorted, surprising everyone as this was not the safest place for someone to pick a fight.

"SIRIUS BLACK ESCAPES AZKABAN!" 

"What the fudge?" "Magical shit!" "Is that for real?!" "Magical Cow!" The bar-inn hosted chaos for some time, after which all newspapers were sold and everyone was reading the article thoroughly. [replacing holy sh*t and holy cow]

"Is that a big thing?" Eren asked

"You don't know about Azkaban?" 

"That's the Wizard prison. I know, who is Sirius Black then?"

"Not only Sirius Black, focus on escaping Azkaban! No one can- or no one could for the past millennia since Azkaban was made a Dementor fortress in 600 AD something. That achievement is something that could top living after being hit by a killing curse- I would not be surprised if Sirius Black is hailed as the Man-who-escapes tomorrow if not-" She did not complete her sentence as the Daily Prophet headline said 

<MAN-WHO-ESCAPES leaves AZKABAN! MASS MURDER ON THE LOOSE!>

Misa looked at Eren with a smug 'told you so' face.

"So who is Sirius Black?"

"Mass murderer, Right hand of You-Know-Who, Heir of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black if I am right, traitor of the light and killer of the Potters" She replied while indulging in the article right away.

"Here- it says any information on Sirius Black's whereabouts is to be rewarded by a whole thousand galleons! That's like half of what the Weasleys are worth!" Misa japed, but a thousand galleons was still a substantial amount.

"He is the Heir of Blacks?"

"Did I not include the mass murdering, treachery and handsomeness qualities of his somewhere?" Eren did not bulge, with a stiff expression.

"Fine- he is the Heir but I can't see how it matters."

"Well, I do not see a Lord Black in the Wizengamot, then his Heirship should be promoted to Lordship- and every Lord has got to have a Heir somewhere here due to all this inbreeding. So we just have to figure out who."

"Is the Potter seat not satisfying enough? You still are the sole person to have Six votes in Wizengamot, make it nine and I can imagine Malfoy Senior selling the secrets of Luscious hair of his to me to betray you in any kind.- leaving that aside

The next house is that of Bones and Longbottom. Bones are a light family, and regent Amelia Bones but not a blind supporter of Dumbledores. Longbottom is the same, regent Augusta and light and not a blind supporter." Her sentence was met with another sigh, Eren still struggling with all these names.

'What kind of name is Longbottom?'

"You just thought 'What kind of name is Longbottom?' didn't you? Don't give me the stare." Eren stared at her.

"Okay okay I am continuing- but blushing at the mention of girl's knickers and Long"bottoms"- you siriusly need to get laid."
