    ... battles were fought on horseback, and a standard-bearer would carry the flag for the House or country the soldiers fought for. Blaise smiled and nodded, taking a seat once more. Harry was about to do so as well, when Daphne stood up. "Can't let you two have all the fun," she smirked. She then held out her hand. "As a Lady of the Ancient and Noble House of Greengrass, on behalf of my father Lord Greengrass, I offer my allegiance and backing to the Ancient and Noble House of Potter." Harry smiled and grasped her hand, replying the same way he had to Blaise. When they finished, Susan smirked. "I would, but we're already allied." Harry nodded as he and Daphne sat down. "I know. The Noble House of Bones has been a longtime ally with the Ancient and Noble House of Potter." He looked at Ron. "So has the Noble house of Weasley." Hermione looked intrigued by all the formality, so Harry had to explain a little of the pomp and circumstance. "It's really just formalizing our friendship," he explained to the muggleborn girl. "We know we'll fight together, but Houses ally with each other for protection, for support, and several other reasons.

I'm squirming at the idea of being the heir to just one family, and it's not even an Ancient and Noble one." Ron shook his head. "I'm glad it's Bill that will have to deal with all that Head of House stuff," he commented. A few years ago, he might have been jealous that he wouldn't have any sort of prestige that came with being the Head of House, but he had grown up a lot since then, and he was content with who he was. He would be happy if he came home to a loving wife and kids every day, had a good job that made him happy, and kept the friendships he had now. He would be even more ecstatic if that wife was Hermione. As long as he had family, he knew he would be content. Hermione was intrigued with all the formality. "I didn't realize there was so much involved with all this," she admitted. "I knew you were all the heirs to your respective Houses, but it just seems so… medieval." Harry nodded.
