Sirius was shocked to learn that he was now Lord Black. Sirius claimed the Black Head of House ring, and immediately declared Harry to be Heir Black. Sirius then announced he would need to "think long and hard" what to do about Narcissa and Bellatrix; but Andromeda Tonks and Nymphadora Tonks were returned to the Black family as fast as Sirius could fill out the relevant parchments. Sirius ordered a new vault created for Andromeda and Ted Tonks, and transferred a million galleons into this vault; this was Andromeda’s and Ted’s belated dowry.
