Wow, this fic is really boring. Is the whole thing just people reciting their wills and assigning random titles to other people? Also, it took me about five minutes to figure out what was meant by Dumbledore's "bird club". I thought he had turned Sirius's house into a wildlife preserve and invited all his friends to go birdwatching or something. What is the point of these "inheritance rituals", anyway?
Another chapter of will reading? This one was... I admit, more exciting, but only because I kept shaking my head at the absurdity of certain things. I mean, Tonks losing her cool like that? Doweries in this day and age? And what is with the buying of brooms for the Gryfindor team? And... why is it that Ginny is suddenly having an inheritance ceremony? She's not fifteen, and... well, not the eldest by far. Talk about butchering of not just HP but also historical stuff they are trying to stuff in here... oi...
Out of all the fail here, two things really leapt out at me:
1) If Sirius had such disdain for Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, why did he let them use his house in the first place? Why did he join up with Dumbledore not once, but twice, in the battle against Voldemort?
2) He gives Andromeda and Nymphadora 25,000 galleons each (as a dowry, of all things, bringing up the question of why he didn't do this while he was alive), he gives the Remus 8,000, the twins 8,000, Arthur and Molly get 4,000 (apparently looking after Harry isn't as important as a joke shop). McGonagall gets 4,000 and enough to buy six Firebolts. Harry only gets 500.
Let me restate this: Harry, his godson, who canonically gets everything only gets 500 galleons. Ron and Hermione got just as much simply for being Harry's friends. Hell, Ginny got 500 galleons for being Harry's friend's little sister!

I have no idea what the point of the rituals are. I think the suethor just likes them.

That's what I think about everyone being nobility.
