Settlement 5

"We also want to add that my clients will agree to any conditions by Heir Potter and Mr Tonks as long as they withdraw from the Muggle ICJ," added Rouble and gasps can be heard across the courtroom.

None of them knew that Harry had sued them in muggle courts as well, which was never heard off in the ICW.

Rouble knew anything against an Heir is out of their hands as it can also be seen as demeaning an Ancient and Noble House of Potter, which includes Lily and James Potter, their war heroes, if not Harry Potter himself and the publications knew they can not stand against him as one statement from Harry can ruin their entire business, which they wanted to avoid.

Harry and Ted looked at each other victoriously. He and Ted discussed for a minute and agreed.

"Supreme Mugwump, my client agrees to their proposal and we will withdraw our suit from the ICJ. We will discuss further and come to a consensus and forward it to the ICW," concluded Ted and Dumbledore nodded.

"As the parties agreed to settle this, the session is hereby adjourned." Said Dumbledore and with a final bang of his gavel, all parties stood and started to move out of the Courtroom talking excitedly about the events.

No one could believe how Harry Potter handled the case and the way he acted as a true Noble and his change in appearance and character.

Ted and Harry waited as they knew Rouble and his party would come to talk with them as agreed. They should fix a time and place first to do that.

"That's a good case, Edward," said Rouble as made his way towards Harry and Ted.

"Yes, it is. We both know you can't argue anything when the topic of Harry's Heirship came," said Ted and Rouble nodded.

"True. It's nice to meet you, Heir Potter. I am a big fan of yours," said Rouble and they both shook hands.

"Let me introduce you to my clients, Michael Smith and Cristy Cartel." Said Rouble and both of them moved forward.

"It's nice to meet you, Harry," said Michael in a calm tone.

"What a wonderful day it is. I am finally meeting my Hero," said Cristy and hugged Harry, crushing his bones and pulling the air out of his lungs. Ted noticed Harry's face paling and removed her from him.

"Careful, Ms Cartel. You might kill him," said Edward. Cartel paled at that and started apologising after that. Harry took deep breaths to calm himself.

"As you might have known by now, Ms Cartel is the author while Mr Smith is the publisher of the company," said Rouble and Harry and Ted nodded at their introduction.

"How about we meet in a private place to discuss in the evening?" Asked Harry not wanting Dumbledore or anyone eavesdropping on them.

"Why evening? We can talk now," said Cristy enthusiastically.

"Yes, I know. But shouldn't we withdraw our case from the ICJ first?" Asked Ted and her eyes widened.

"Yes, yes. I forgot." She said with an embarrassed smile.

"My place in the evening is it okay?" Asked Ted and everyone agreed.

After that, everyone separated and went their own ways while Harry followed Ted outside.

Scene Break

Harry and Ted ate in companionable silence as Andromeda was out on some work and Tonks were nowhere to be seen.

"She went on with her work," said Ted and Harry looked at him questioningly.

"You are searching for Dora, right?" He replied and he nodded.

"Ya. She was fun to be around. That pinky" said Harry and Ted laughed with him. Ted looked at Harry curiously.

"What did you plan on doing?"

"About what?"

"In the meantime, I mean. We still have a few hours left," he said, gesturing to the clock.

"Well, I'm planning on going to the DMLE office."

"Why? Do you need something about our case? I think I have gathered a lot of evidence," said Ted.

"Nah. Just to check on the number of Animagus and the permissions required to get registered as one," said Harry. Ted raised an eyebrow at that.

"Are you one?"

"No. Not yet. Just want to know, that's it." Harry said in a neutral tone.

"Make sure to be back before 6. We need to discuss the terms," said Harry and nodded. After eating, he readied himself and with a goodbye, he left Ted's house.

He checked his wands, his card and put his hood up and made his way towards Leaky Cauldron to use the floo network.
