Setting the Stage

Amelia and Griselda knew the responsibility for changing the magical world was about to fall on their shoulders but that was as it should be, they shouldn't need a couple of teenagers to save their arses at every turn, though it was comforting to know they were available if required! They both turned to the Potters and nodded.

Hermione then threw a hand grenade into the Wizengamot, "Madam Marchbanks you can expect a few resignations as anyone who has excepted bribes in the past has until tomorrow to resign or have the details of said bribes and what they were spent on published in the Daily Prophet!"

There was uproar until Harry held his hand up

"Anyone who feels unfairly treated is welcome to meet with me personally"

From behind him Harry heard Sirius start to laugh and his comment, "like that's going to happen" started the whole crowd containing ministry workers, Aurors and just general wizarding public laughing at the Wizengamot members getting their comeuppance.

Hermione asked, "Amelia, just out of interest what charges were we facing today?"

It was an embarrassed Amelia who replied "underage use of magic"

The crowd turned ugly as they remembered the chairs and dementors

Harry said, "Madam Marchbanks it is our belief that no one is above the law, please can you cast the age verification spell on my wife and I"

She also looked embarrassed but complied and like Poppy cast the charm again to confirm her results "it would appear that an apology is in order as you are both of age"

"Thank you now if our business here is concluded we should be going and allow these good people to return to work. Tomorrows Prophet should be interesting!"

With that they left throwing the two hundred galleons into the fountain on the way out.

They had just left the ministry when Sirius couldn't hold it any longer "take out over twenty aurors, storm the ministry, kill a couple of dementors while forcing the Wizengamot to back down! Not satisfied with that you choose the next Chief Witch and tell half the Wizengamot to resign or else – just a normal day for the Potter's?"

"That was the most awesome display of magic I've ever seen but what's Stag Industries?" asked Remus

"It was on our to-do list but not here, we need to go somewhere private for this discussion," said Harry

"Actually love this might be better in public with a few silencing charms, let the people see the group" said Hermione

"As usual my brilliant wife is correct, Dobby could you get Dan, Winky I think Ginny and Emma will be going nuts about now so we'll all meet in Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor"

The elves popped off to collect the rest of the group as everyone headed for the Parlor

When the girls arrived Ginny hugged Harry while Emma held Hermione at arms length, checking for injuries before following the young witch's example and hugging her daughter.

Florean was delighted to see Harry again and gave the group a large table at the window and taking orders from the ten of them since the three guards had left for Gringotts and Dan had arrived with Dobby.

The elves had a hard time sitting at the table while someone served them but thoroughly enjoyed their ice cream sundaes.

Griphook did the honours with the silencing charm while Harry asked the question

"Did anyone here think what happened at the ministry today will accomplish all our goals?"

No one answered

"Then why did you do it?" asked a confused Remus

"To keep them busy while our real plan gets off the ground, it also doesn't hurt that the ministry and Wizengamot are now behind us" said Hermione

Sirius just shook his head, "I could have sworn you both were in Gryffindor, when did you get so Slytherin?"

"We're just using a bit of misdirection while the real prank takes place unnoticed, wonder where I got that from?" Harry's comments drew a smile from both Marauders

"The only way to change the wizarding world is commercially which is where Stag Industries come in. Our plan will see the best Hogwarts graduates vying to join our company, which will influence every aspect of wizarding life."
