Sirius' heir and Kreacher - there's a will and a way

And of course during that time he just wandered into a
solicitor's office and got them to draw him up a new will ...
The only way he could have made a new will was if he did
it himself and assuming wizarding wills work similarly to
muggle ones, and we don't know they do but if they don't
then we have no idea how they work and any speculation is
completely pointless with no evidence at all to go on, then
he needs someone to witness his signature - which means as
soon as the will is made public then someone will want to
know why the person witnessing his signature didn't inform
the Ministry that they were keeping company with a wanted
criminal. I can't think of any way in which he can have made
a legal will *that can be made public* without someone
getting into trouble over it.

When Harry stuck his head in the fire at Grimauld Place to
find Sirius and find out more about his dad, the first person
he saw was Lupin, who was reading a piece of parchment.  We
are given no indication of what he was reading, but the
possibility that it was a will cannot be discounted.
As for witnesses, there are plenty of Order members known to 
drop in and out of Headquarters at all hours including 
ministry members Kingsley Shacklebolt and Mr. Weasley, as well
as Dumbledore.
The old regime at the ministry has been miscredited and carries
no weight, so the will should go right through whatever passes
for probate in the wizarding world.

And in answer to whoever it was who said that even if Kreacher
is tied to a family he would go to Harry if Harry was Sirius' 
heir - being someone's heir does not make you family. No matter
what Harry and Sirius felt on the matter Harry can't become a
blood relative.

If Kreacher is lucky his head is on the wall next to his 
ancestors.  Either he didn't survive DD's interrogation or
Dobby will do him in so as not to damage harry's reputation. 
If Harry himself does Kreacher in, he will set up an
interesting rift with Hermione, who seems rather liberal at
this point.



I will probably elaborate more on these opinions in my Yahoo
group potterplots, which I set up a week ago as a forum to
examine plot twists in the series.
