Harry - I think Ravenclaw is the best suited for me. I need to go now but it was really nice talking to you. I hope I will see you soon

Saying this Harry left leaving a muttering Daphne

"Hopefully"

The front page of tomorrow's newspaper had a picture of Potter's castle with Hadrian Potter-Black standing in front of it. The article was as follows

Event of the century

Hadrian Potter-Black turns 10

Like we all know, yesterday i.e. on 31st July, our beloved Hadrian Potter turned 10. A royal ball was organised for the same, in none other than THE POTTER CASTLE. Some of you might not know but the Potter castle is one of the biggest and oldest castles in the world, second to only Peverell manor. It is rumoured that the castle is home to a lot of magical creatures including dragons and phoenixes. The event was held in the ballroom which was bigger than the great hall of Hogwarts. The shocking thing was many prominent families were invited but one Albus Dumbledore wasn't spotted. Was he not invited? Sirius Black was welcoming everyone including the dark and neutral families. Even after everything that happened, no tension could be spotted between him and the Malfoys. There was a sharp intake of breathe when the birthday boy entered. Even me your beloved reporter was enchanted by him. He talked to nearly everyone in the room and I was able to get a short interview with him.

Reporter - First of all Happy birthday Lord Potter-Black, how does it feel to be 10

Hadrian - Thankyou so much. It's kind of a thrilling feeling knowing that I can start Hogwarts in just a year

Reporter - talking about Hogwarts, I couldn't help but notice there's a tension between you and headmaster Dumbledore

Hadrian - I won't say much on this matter but as we all know he didn't give my blood adopted father Sirius a trial even after knowing his innocence. Sirius took the godfather oath in front of him which means he couldn't harm me or my parents for that matter

Reporter - ok this is new, oaths are a tricky subject. Moving on, you might not be aware but you are the most eligible batchelor in the wizarding world at this moment, so what do you look for in a woman. Ladies take notes

Hadrian - (laughing) I know it's common to find love at an early age but I don't think I have found anyone as of yet. I don't have a type if you are asking that, I believe in the muggle saying "The heart wants what it wants"

Reporter - that's a way of deflecting the question. Coming to your lordships, how did you get the lordship before turning seventeen

Hadrian - I am not sure about it. The family magic works in a different way. If you ask me, I think it wasn't happy with the proxy and thus made me the lord before time

Reporter - and what about the Black seat? Is Sirius Black ok with you being the lord?

Hadrian - actually I tried to offer Sirius his lordship back but he has never been interested in politics and about how I became the lord, I think it's the same as Potter seats. I was already the primary heir and because Sirius not claiming the seats for nine years, it chose me as the lord

Reporter - ok coming to the last question, how will you manage wizengamot and Hogwarts together

Hadrian - I have actually thought about that a lot. For the monthly meetings Sirius can act as a proxy while for the important quarterly ones, I can go from Hogwarts on official request from my guardian
