Lost Sister, Found Uncle

Chapter 16: The New Headmaster Continued

Harry walked into the Great Hall for dinner with Draco and Blaise. He wondered just how it will all go tonight when it was revealed that his uncle was the new Headmaster. Harry knew that there were a lot of others in the school that had thought that Lucius Malfoy was a Death Eater – no one needed to know that he was, but turned spy – and a very bad wizard. It did make everyone in the school curious about the man since the article had come out this morning. Harry just hoped that they would soon begin to see the great man he knew his uncle was.

Once everyone had taken their seat in the Great Hall, Professor McGonagall stood. The Hall went quiet faster than Harry ever seen it.

“As you all heard this afternoon, Hogwarts removed Albus Dumbledore as Headmaster of Hogwarts. It was unexpected that Hogwarts had already found her knew Headmaster. He is a man that a lot have assumed many things about. But I know that Hogwarts has made a good choice. I am proud to introduce the new Headmaster of Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry, Lucius Malfoy.” McGonagall said.

The door behind McGonagall opened and in walked Lucius in handsome robes in black and silver. His long white blonde hair hung loose down his back looking just like the rich pureblood he was.

“Thank you, Professor McGonagall.” Lucius said. “I never thought it would turn out Hogwarts would choose me as her Headmaster. I will explain to all of you now a few reasons as to why she has.

“We all know that the wizard most commonly called You-Know-Who, How-Must-Not-Be-Named and even The Dark Lord is back. I refuse to call the wizard that killed my sister and brother in-law by any of those names, but his real name. Tom Riddle.

“I am here to bring Hogwarts back to how it was supposed to be. To help the many Muggleborn or raised students become a part of their new world. To make them see that they belong here just as much as everyone else. Hogwarts has also chosen me to protect the many students in her halls.

“Many of you know just what I am talking about when I say the many things my nephew has had to deal with since coming here six years ago. Many of the things he has had to deal with the previous Headmaster either could have dealt with easily or even caused it himself. I will not have anyone hurt. Now, I have spoken enough for one night. Enjoy your dinner.” Lucius said and then took his seat in the large chair in the center of the table with McGonagall on his left and Severus on his right.

Harry then noticed something amazing. While the Hall wasn’t silent anymore, it wasn’t as loud as it would normally have been.

“You know, Draco, I think this will be the best thing to happen to Hogwarts in many years.” Harry said looking at his cousin beside him.

“I wouldn’t be surprised.” Draco said. “I think people will soon learn just why I am so proud to have Lucius Malfoy as my father.”

“People have underestimated him for a long time. I think this will help to make people see just how great a wizard he is. Uncle Luc deserves to be respected and I think he will get it.” Harry said.
