It had been two weeks since the trial. Evan had gone home. Barty was forced to go home, Sirius literally having to push him out of the Potter’s door. He and Remus had asked to stay on at Lily and James’s while the renovations were being taken care of at the house. Apparently, the other tenants had been more than happy to move out, helped along with the offer of free hotel rooms until they found their own place. 

Work had quickly begun on the house, replacing doors that had been removed between rooms when the house was spilt. Pulling out all the kitchens and some of the bathrooms, but the biggest renovation was the entire bottom floor needed gutting of all the cooking equipment and a wall was being built where the shop window had been. 

Everything had been quiet at the Potter’s. He’d been waiting for something, anything from his parents, but there was nothing. A few days later Sirius found out why.

He got a phone call from a Mr Binns, his parents' lawyer. He was exceedingly boring, Sirius had trouble concentrating long enough as he spoke with him on the phone to understand why he was calling. He wanted Sirius to come to his office as they had some paperwork to go through. Intrigued, Sirius and Remus arranged a time to meet. 

“It’s very black and white, Mr Black,” Binns droned on. “Because your parents are no longer fit ti control the businesses, or the assets, everything has automatically been put into your name. They can not touch it. You, Mr Black, are now an exceedingly wealthy young man,” Sirius gaped at the breakdown of everything. He knew his family had money, but this was outrageous. He showed Remus and Remus choked on his own spit. 

“Oh my gods!” They stared open-jawed at each other until Binns interrupted them. 

“Please sign here, and it’s all yours,” Sirius picked up the pen and, with a final glance at Remus, signed on the dotted line.
