Much Like A Certain Grey-Bearded Headmaster With A Pet Phoenix, Dead Sister, and Estranged Brother, He Knows Pretty Much Everything

Both You and Harmony Found Yourselves Face To Face With Headmaster Hallgrave, A Rigid Aristocratic Old Fop, and A Man Who Looked Like A Magical Politician Who Everyone Was Inclined To Punch In The Face Like They Were With Mortal Ones. "Welcome, This Is The Young Man I Was Telling You About. Students, This Is Lord Heinrich Ashcroft, Ms. Ashcroft's Father." Says Headmaster Hallgrave. "Yes, I'm Fully Aware Of Who He Is, and I've Been Given Suspicions As To What He Either Is In Secret Or Once Was, I Hope It's The Latter." You Say, and The Politician and Lord Ashcroft Share A Knowing Smile. "Uhh...What Am I Missing??" Asks Harmony. "Harmony, I Was Once Apart Of A Cult Called The Sons Of Bennu, I Was Their Figurehead, But I Grew Disillusioned By The Growing Fanaticism and Extremism, and Contacted A Friend In The Magical Government. That Friend Directed Me To An Inspector He Vouched For Vehemently As Trustworth, Your Father Boy." Says Lord Ashcroft. "I Know All About What Happened, I Read The Files, Saw The End Result First Hand." You Say. "Why? What Happened To Your Father?" Asks Harmony. "One Night I Received Word From My Most Loyal Follower, Some Members Had Received Word That A Member Of The Group Had Gone To The Ministry and That and Inspector Had Been Sent In To Investigate, They Had Planned To Kill Him, Which They Did." Says Heinrich.

"You Mean They Butchered Him." You Say In Silent Mournful Rage. "Yes, I Sincerely Wish I Didn't, But I Do Yes." Says Lord Ashcroft. You Feel A Hand Encircle Yours, and Turn To Harmony, Finding A Kindness You'd Not Witnessed Beforehand In her Eyes. "After That, I Called A Meeting Declared Our Little Order Of Fanatics Disbanded and Had Everyone Who Voted For A Reconsideration Arrested. Most Died In Prison Or Escaped and Were Later Thrown In Prison and Died Or Were Executed On Site." Says Lord Ashcroft. "But Three Of Those...Butchering Bastards Yet Live Don't They? And If The Ministry Is Here, So Are They.....What Is It You Want?" You Ask. "For You To Amend The Mistakes Of My Past, and Put An End To A Story Which Should've Never Been Written In The First Place." Says Lord Ashcroft. "I Have A Price. As Your Aware, The Eldric Family Is Effectively Extinct. As Far As It Is Known, I Am Their Last Descendant. I Want The Name, The Titles, Lands, The Whole Song and Dance Of It All......and Harmony With Me When It's Over." You Say and You Don't Need To Be Holding Her Hand To Know Harmony Just Melted Inside.

"My Daughter Aside, We Can Arrange This For You, Harmony....Do You Agree To His Terms?" Heinrich Asks His Daughter. Harmony Looks Down, Thinking Long and Hard, Before Looking At Her Father, Wrapping Her Arms Around Your Own, and Pressing Her Head Against Your Shoulder. "I Do Father, and It Is My Price As Well, To Be By His Side." Says Harmony With A Determined Glint In Her Eye. "Very Well, You Will Get My Daughter When This Travesty Has Been Lifted, Everything Else You Get Now, All I Need Ask, Is Your Name?" Asks Heinrich. "You Know Your Actually The First To Ask Me That Since My Application." You Say, Before Wrapping An Arm Around Harmony and Smiling Contentedly Before Looking At The Three Old Men. "My Name Is.................
