11 Prepping for the future.
I stopped her, "Hold on! Wait until after the Hearing, Miss Daphne, in the meantime, you can let your sister meet Miss Bones and Miss Abbot. They agreed to go forward with the betrothal, so does Hermione, she wants a relationship with me too. Miss Astoria, if you meet the others then you can form an opinion."
I looked at Lord Greengrass and asked, "Does that make sense? I don't have a clue, to be honest. At the moment my main priority is to kick Dumbledore out of his ivory tower and show the world his true face," I sighed, "To be honest, thinking about marriage at my age never crossed my mind, I just am getting used to having girlfriends."
Lady Greengrass commented: "And yet the future of my girl needs to be discussed, Heir Black, this is not a thing that can be postponed. But… we can wait until after the Hearing, we will come back on Sunday for the final decisions."

I got back into Apollo Black's book, Hermione nested herself next to me to read along, after a while she asked, "What are those symbols you are looking at? Can you understand them?"
Puzzled I asked, "What do you mean with Symbols? This is… why are these pages in modern English instead of old English?"
Hermione looked funny at me, "Where do you see modern English? All I can see on this page are some unreadable scribbling."
Confused, I said, "This page is about removing curses from artifacts, just the thing I am looking for, this is plain out English to me Hermione." I read some lines to her.
Hermione stopped me, "That is Parseltongue that you are reading Harry, I did not know the Blacks had them too."
I shrugged, "They must have married a parselmouth in those days. Anyway, the further I read in this book, the nastier the curses, the more difficult the spells are to break those curses."
Hermione suggested, "Maybe it is best you start reading from the back of the book, that diary and locket were something evil, that Diary could make a body by draining Ginny's Soul."
Hmm, she has a point, Horcruxes are by the worst Soul Magics, I'll better start at the back. It was cozy, just Hermione and me with a book. Twenty-something pages to the end, I found what I was looking for, a whole chapter about Herpo the Fool and his Horcrux. All in parselscript, I translated it for Hermione, she had to pinch me when I started hissing, which happened a lot.
I started reading, "A Horcrux, is about the auw, the most evil act in the auw, attempting to prolong your life. The ritual to auw make one requires an offering of auw a young child, not older than three years, and sacrificed auw, in the evilest way, which I will auw, not describe."
I commented, "I bet I would have been used for his last Horcrux."
"To deal with a Horcrux is to split it from his container with a ritual and transplant it into another object, auw, preferably a flammable one," hmm, there are a lot of those Fan Fictions that used this idea to keep the artifact complete, "The ritual needs a male and female virgin to do the act of love. It is important that they are in love, and are destined to grow old together, if successful it will form a bond. Any doubt will ruin the ritual and feed the Horcrux… Hermione, there is a list with ingredients and this drawing is the ritual Circle and it has to be performed on the night of the full moon, which is tomorrow night."
Hermione asked, "Is it that important to keep the containers whole? Why not destroy them with Acid? We still have a bottle."
I explained "One of them is the Lord's ring from a legendary House, with that ring I can claim it. The other one is Rowena Ravenclaw's legendary Tiara. Both are priceless. So was that locket, it was Slytherin's Locket."
Hermione said, "Then we can save only one of the two. Can you read it out loud to me again? I have to understand it completely."
When I finished it for the second time and listed the ingredients, Hermione said, "With that ritual, you will be bonded as if you are married. In fact, that is what that ritual demands, a lifelong relationship, Husband and wife."
She looked at me and asked, "You are to be married to Susan and Hannah, who are you going to pick?"
"I was thinking about you, to be honest." I confessed, "Choosing between those two will leave one out, and I love you just as much, Hermione."
Softly she asked, "Really? You really love me, Harry? How do you know?"
I wrapped my arm around her, "Just now when I read this, I pictured me and you growing old together, with a few kids and grandkids, and I liked it, I want that to happen, Hermione. I feel the same for Susan and Hannah, not as strong as with you, it is still new for us. Maybe it is Magic that is binding us on our intent."
Hermione sighed, "Since that hug, I am picturing you and I having a family, I want that too, Harry. So tomorrow night we are going to lose our Virginity?"
I nodded, "We are, but we better inform Susan and Hannah up front."
Hermione said, "That would be best, I agree. How many Horcruxes are left, Harry?"
"Two, Hufflepuff's Cup and a nasty snake Nagini, that snake is an animagus that can not control her transformation and is unable to turn human again. Voldemort made her into a living Horcrux."
Hermione was thinking, I saw the wheels of her brain turning, "You know, Harry, if you can get that Cup, we can use that in a three-way ritual. Let me explain, those Horcruxes are from the same man, representing you, the three Horcruxes represent Susan, Hannah, and I. We can do the three at once, that will give Voldemort a backlash… I hope."
I called out, "Uncle Kreacher? Ah, Uncle Kreacher, do you have access to Bellatrix's Personal Vault to take out an artifact?"
Kreacher shook his head, "Kreacher does not know, Kreacher has to ask Throat-Slicer."
"Ask it, when you have permission, in Bellatrix Vault is a Cup with Helga Hufflepuffs coat of arms on it. We need that cup. You have to be careful Bellatrix spelled her Vault," I added, "If Throat-slicer refuses, tell him it is to get rid of Voldemort. Ah! Take a dragon hide bag with you."
Kreacher thought for a bit, "Winky be helping Dobby prepare dinner, Kreacher will go now."
I hurried to stop him, "Kreacher! You can go after dinner, it is not that urgent."
Kreacher looked relieved, "Young Master is thoughtful for Winky, she still be too weak for duty."
That Elf is still too unsure about my character, "Fix dinner first, Kreacher, Winky has to be healed before she is allowed to do any task."
Kreacher nodded, "Dinner be ready in a half-hour, Young Master." and he popped away.
Hermione closed my book and got on my lap, "Just enough time for some snogging, husband-to-be."
"Aye," I said while I groped her tits, "Snogging it is, and a bit more, my hot sexy wife-to-be. Now, do I have to unbutton your shirt or can I rip those buttons away?"
"Cool it you caveman!" she calmed me down, "You can only repair clothes a few times, and I like this shirt, I hugged you with it."
Slowly I helped her out of her shirt, and said, "We have to frame that shirt so you can boast to our children that you wore that on your first dry hump. I add my favorite Boxer short to it."
Hermione froze up and shivered, "We better not, I just imagined Mum and Dad doing that to me. That is stuff for nightmares." she grinned, "Boasting at Tonks and Sirius however…"
I hugged her closer, "My kinky wife! Let's wake up the neighbor, shall we? It is time for Tonks to wake up anyway, let's practice our 'Dirty Talk'."
Xxxxx
Tonks was moody, she kept grumbling something about rabbits during dinner. I mocked her, "What? Do you prefer a glass of ice water? I will use that for tomorrow, be glad we gave you some inspiration for single-person sessions."
Tonks glared at me, "I am not into kiddy stuff, Brat. You are too skinny for me anyway."
I shrugged, "I know, once my potions are done then I am going to buff up. Hannah likes muscles, I didn't know you liked them too. So… Tonks, you want to be ravaged too? Thrown on the bed, clothes ripped from your body and a Dong balls deep in your snatch? Getting fucked until you cry for mercy? Tied to a bedpost and getting railed from behind?"
Sirius grumbled softly to himself, "Damn, I need to get laid. I have to take someone with me to that island."
Tonks stopped glaring halfway through my speech and her eyes turned dreamy, I think her pussy got wet from imagining all that. She snapped out of it, "It takes more than muscles to satisfy a woman, Brat, I doubt you are UP for it. For all I know you and Hermione were faking those noises."
"If you are hoping that I will invite you to watch, forget it, you have to beg for it." I teased.
Tonks shrugged, "Or I can just ask your women, they have the last word, after all, whipped boy."
Xxxxx
At the end of our dinner, Dobby gave a letter to Hermione, "From Mistress Susie and Mistress Hanni, they be waiting for an answer, Mistress Hermi."
Hermione read the letter, frowned, and showed it to me.
Dear Hermione,
Daphne and Tracey visited us, they brought Astoria along. They came to talk about the Black betrothal. Harry told them to let Astoria talk to us.
We used to play a lot with Daphne and Tracey before Hogwarts, can you come over, Hermione? We want to do a Vow of truth to clear any doubts. Just you though.
Yours, Susan, and Hannah
I looked up at her, "Go, this will clear the air."
At the curious look from Sirius, I said, "The Greengrasses are at Susan, Davis is there too. They are going to sort things out."
Tonks asked, "Without you? You are whipped aren't you?"
I shrugged, "Look at it from my side, Tonks. They have to live together too, I rather have a set of wives that live in harmony than a set I chose that are going to fight each other the rest of my life. Are they going to speak freely with me there? I don't think so either."
I grinned, "You are talking too much about a whip, Tonks. Is that a secret fantasy of yours? Imagine, tied to your trusty bedpost, and a strong muscular man is tanning your bum with a Cat O Nine Tails while you are screaming 'More!' to your Master."
Tonk's hair shifted through a myriad of colors and settled on pink, "You shitty Brat! What books have you been reading? Do I have to warn your girlfriends?"
I smiled evilly at Tonks and pulled at a lock of hair on my head, "You better watch out for yourself, Tonksie, your hair is showing your darkest secrets to me."
Tonks shrugged and flipped her hair, "You are six years too late to make me blush, Brat, I heard everything already."
Xxxxx
I spend the rest of the evening with my book. I am planning to memorize it from cover to cover. You know like those Dudes that quote Shakespeare: Othello! Act 2! Scene 1! Line 5! Word 4! Letter 6... N! Those Dudes have too much free time if you ask me. Nope, I am not commenting on the Religious Zealots that do that, too much of a hassle.
This book is a gold mine though, the parseltongue spells alone are priceless. Hey, this sounds interesting, a chapter on how to break the bindings of contracts up. In theory, I can nullify the marriage contract, but if I do, I'll probably get hunted for doing Dark Magic. I'll keep that in mind in case Astoria is a nut job.
In most of the Fan Fics from the Old Guy's memories she is a nice girl, in some she is a little slut and double teams with the Ice Queen. In Rowling's book, she shags Draco, and who in their right mind named her kid Scorpio? She could have named him Snake, or Mantis... Why not Demon Spawn? Creepy Monster?
Anyway, she is destined to die young because of some Family curse… Crap, she is going to marry me! Hello Astoria! You be gone when you turn thirty, I'll take care of little Demon Spawn. I better read my book again, there must be something in it.
Xxxxx
Kreacher delivered! Proudly he presented me with Hufflepuffs Cup, "Young Master, Throat-Slicer be happy Mistress Bellatrix broke Gringott rules. He be confiscated Mistress Bellatrix Vault for House Black. This be Huffy Cup." he said while he held the Dragon hide bag up.
I smiled at the little bugger, "Excellent work, Uncle Kreacher! I have a shopping list with ingredients, can you or Dobby get those before tomorrow night? We need to do a ritual tomorrow night to get rid of Voldemort's other abominations like that locket was."
I thought of something and asked before Kreacher could pop away, "Kreacher? Does this house have a Ritual Room?"
Kreacher nodded, "In second-floor basement, Young Master, it needs cleaning, Kreacher and Dobby will clean room tomorrow."
The rest of the evening I studied the ritual and tried to calculate the effects if we did three Horcruxes at once with three virgins. Should Tom feel those effects? There were some Fan Fics they shagged him to death with that. Would Nagini feel that? All those Questions…
Xxxxx
Close to bedtime, Hermione came home, after a quick shower she slipped between the covers of my bed, after a long snog and some groping, she started to report what she was allowed to tell me.
Hermione sighed, "Well Harry, Astoria watched some of your Memories and freaked out, she is not as innocent as she looks. Daphne tried to scare her with the Basilisk Memory at Susan's home, her parents did not allow her to watch them, so Daphne showed the memory you gave Madam Bones."
Hermione sighed again, "We all went in to give moral support. It was terrifying to watch it, even for a second time. Harry, Astoria loved it! She cheered you on when you battled that snake, she cursed that shade when it was gloating over you, and did a victory dance when you stabbed that Diary, and Tom went up in Smoke. That girl is a battle maniac! On top of that, she asked to watch the other ones."
Hermione sighed again, "Her current favorites are Aragog, the Basilisk, and the Dementors. I say that girl needs some counseling. Daphne tried a different approach by showing your home life, I heard several curses and swearwords for the first time tonight, Harry. She could put someone from Croydon or Camden to shame with her swear words. I heard her grumbling that she is going to hire mercenaries to finish the job."
Hermione sighed again, "She is going to be the next Lady Black, Harry. She said so herself. Personally, I think she has the right mindset for it, she is batshit crazy. She refused Daphne when she offered to switch places."
Hermione sighed, "There is some bad news though, Susan and Hannah are not virgins anymore. Hannah lost hers when Susan went a bit rough with a toy, Susan wanted to even it out on the same night with the same toy."
Well, that was one idea that went down the drain. I asked, "Did you suggest framing that toy, like your shirt and my Boxer? Umpfh! Why the elbow, Hermione?"
Hermione glared for a bit and sighed again, "I told them about that ritual during the Vow of Truth and what was required for it. Astoria jumped to volunteer, and Susan and Hannah explained why they could not."
I sighed, "So, two that are old enough but are not virgins anymore, and one Virgin but is two years too young for it. Susan and Hannah are going to be sixteen this year, so are you. Doing that Ritual with Astoria will backfire, she is way too young, the ritual would not accept it. That book mentioned several times the negative effects of children used in Rituals. Magic will not accept it."
Hermione sighed, "When Daphne and Tracey heard what the Ritual is for, both volunteered, under loud protests of Astoria. Harry, there is more, Daphne and Tracey said they had a crush on you since the first task last year and even more after viewing those memories. Harry, they said that under the Vow of Truth. I don't know what to do or say anymore."
Crap! How the fuck am I going to solve this clusterfuck? Two non-virgins, one child, and two volunteer-virgins. The problem is that I can not postpone that ritual, I need that ring for my plan, I need to be The Master of Death and claim House Peverell before the Hearing starts.
I asked, "Did you say that it would be a lifelong commitment and that failing it would make the Horcrux stronger? What about her parents? Tracey's parents?"
Hermione sighed, "They are talking to them right now. I told them you could claim two more Houses by right of conquest, there was no stopping them when they heard Slytherin was one of them."
I sighed, "Why did you tell them that?"
Hermione sighed, "Vow of truth, remember? They asked if I had any information that could have helped their case. Lady Tracey Slytherin and Consort Daphne Greengrass Slytherin. I am supposed to be Lady Gaunt or Consort Black."
I hugged her closer, "You can be my Lady Peverell, Sweety, You are a Lady, and being Lady Gaunt just won't do."
I can tell that I am not in Rowling's books anymore, this brings the Tally to Six? Is that Old Horny Guy messing with my mind? Who is next?… Fuck, did I just jinx myself? A bit… A lot worried, we fell asleep.
Xxxxx
I woke up when someone said Hello to Little Dude and took matters into her hand. Little Dude appreciated the attention and my groans let it know. My hand went into her panty and found her pleasure knob. This is way better than a glass of ice-cold water! I removed the bed sheet with my other hand for better access and view, while Hermione spoiled little Dude.
"You did not need to show it all to me, Brat, I am not that curious, you know," said Tonks next to my bed with a glass of cold water in her hand.
I groaned, "I don't care whether you watch or not, but if you use that glass of water I will whip your ass!"
"Tonks don't!" moaned Hermione, when she saw Tonks holding that glass above me, "We will spank you later, promise."
I grinned at Tonks, she did not look away or planned to leave, "Put that glass away, drop your clothes, and come in bed if you want a turn, bitch. I bet that pussy of yours is craving for my Pego."
Hermione moaned, "Faster Harry, this feels so good, Tonks, strip or leave, Harry! I am Cu…"
I woke up when I felt a glass of ice-cold water was poured on me. Dazed, I looked around, Tonks was grinning at me, "Take a cold shower, Brat, it helps against morning wood."
My stinging hexes followed her when she walked outside, skillfully avoiding them.
"She got you again, did she?" asked Hermione when she slowly opened her eyes, I nodded, "I was having such a nice dream."
Xxxxx
At breakfast, Sirius asked, "Harry? What did you do yesterday? We are getting a visit from Amelia, the Abbots, the Greengrasses, the Davis, and Moody. They want to discuss the ritual you want to do tonight. Can you explain?"
"My morning tea first, Sirius. Tonks's way of waking me up makes me cranky." I responded
Hermione answered in my place, "We have three Horcruxes in the house, the Peverell Lord ring, Ravenclaw's Tiara, and Hufflepuffs Cup. Harry found a Ritual in one of your ancestor's books on how to destroy the Horcruxes without damaging the Artifacts. With the Ring, Harry can claim House Peverell."
Sirius looked suspiciously at Hermione, "Hmm, what are you not telling me, Hermione?"
Hermione answered blushing, "It needs a virgin for every Horcrux, Sirius."
Sirius looked puzzled, "That could explain Amelia and the Abbots, why are the Greengrasses and Davis coming over? Or Moody for that matter?"
Red-hot blushing, Hermione answered, "Susan and Hannah went a bit too far experimenting, they are not virgins anymore." she looked pleading at Sirius, "No more Questions for me please, it is a bit embarrassing… a lot embarrassing."
I sighed, I do that a lot lately, "It is quite simple, Sirius, I do the Ritual alone with Hermione and have four wives, or I do the Ritual with three and have six wives. That Ritual binds us as tight as a marriage."
Sirius asked, "Can I read that Ritual first?"
I shrugged, "Sure, can you read Parselscript? Most of those Rituals are in Parselscript."
Sirius sighed, "Nothing is simple with you, isn't it, Harry?"
I shook my head, "It never was, Sirius. I'll explain it to you."
Xxxxx
The meeting room was almost crowded, 2 Bones, 3 Abbots, 4 Greengrasses, 3 Davis, 1 Moody, and us.
Madam Bones opened the talk, "Susan explained to me what Harry is going to try, I'm reluctant to allow it. I need to know more."
Lord Davis nodded, "The stakes are too high to rush in this without discussing it up front, as I understand it, this creates a bond for life. No matter how appealing it might be, postponing it for a moon cycle would be not that hard."
After explaining the whole procedure, I commented, "The next Moon cycle is in September, with that bond, I could demand private quarters, it will get your daughters away from the Death Eaters' sons. But I admit it is too fast."
Daphne commented, "Harry can claim House Slytherin with the right of conquest, that way he can move in Slytherin and protect us there. Or he can ask for the Lord Slytherin quarters."
Sirius pointed out, "There are some things we have to remember, Harry is the only one that can do that Ritual, as he is the only parselmouth available. He told me that he needed that Peverell ring, the Tiara and Cup are optional yet priceless. We found out that they can be destroyed with Muggle Acid as we destroyed Slytherin's locket with it."
Susan said, "Yesterday all of the girls here had a meeting under a Vow of truth, we all declared that we have deep feelings for Harry, even Astoria. I do not think these feelings will fade after a month. Those feelings were there with the Boy Who Lived reputation, after watching those memories they got enforced, the last days we spent with him told us that Harry is the one for us."
Moody interrupted, "There is another factor we have to take into account, we discovered Gellert Grindelwald in a Tower under Fidelius. He told us that Dumbledore put the Fidelius with him as the secret keeper. Even when it is in a prison, Grindelwald has a kill-on-sight order, hiding a Dark Lord is a capital crime. The moment Dumbledore set foot outside of Britain he will get arrested and put on trial."
He looked around, and pointed out, "With Dumbledore out of the way, Voldemort can make use of that to make a grab for power. Destroying these Horcruxes next month could cost the lives of innocents."
Lord Abbot said, "This is a Damned if we do and Damned if we don't scenario. Do not forget that a lot of those Death Eaters are desperate, the loans Lord Black called in are affecting the ones we identified as Death Eaters. A cornered rat will bite. Merlin knows what they will do in the next weeks, they already burned Malfoy's Mansion down."
Madam Bones sighed, "The ICW contacted me, the day after tomorrow is Dumbledore's hearing, which will be broadcast on the wireless. That is the only reason they haven't arrested him yet, the country needs to hear his crimes. Everyone had to swear not to inform Dumbledore in any way. I want that vow from everyone here after this meeting too."
Sirius said, "Then we are back where we started, is Harry doing the Ritual now or next month?"
I raised my hand, "What if we weaken them both? No doubt those Death Eater Lords will attend that meeting to vote Dumbledore out of office. Demand on oath that they never willingly tortured or killed innocents. Although it is better to clean your Auror force out first. That way we can do the Ritual next month."
Madam Bones asked," How are we going to demand that? We have to follow the law and regulations of the Wizengamot."
I said, "That is simple, Madam Bones, Susan must have told you, I can Demand that when I swear in as Lord Slytherin and Lord Gaunt with the original oath, the oath that swears loyalty to the Crown. I can even Swear on my life and Magic that Voldemort has a new body."
Madam Bones sighed, "I am not looking forward to Saturday, that is going to be a mess."
Now that the Ritual is postponed to the next full moon, plans were made for the hearing, plans with Dumbledore present, and plans with an absent Dumbledore. At the end of the meeting, I got me two fiancees more, signed and sealed, no escape possible, all is set for the Future.
The worst part? I have to stay a virgin for a month and Hermione's periods are over… so are Susan's and Hannah's. Blueballed again. The very worst part? They are coming over every day, courting they call it. It is more like a carrot on a stick, and I can't have a bite.
12 Little Lady Black
That way we would have five more mouths to feed at lunch when the parents left their daughters behind. Yeah, courting starts today. Astoria could get along with Sirius within a second, she won the mutt over by calling him Father-in-law. That marked the day I dropped a rank to second place and Scorpio Mamma winded the dog around her finger. I bet she could even play fetch with him in his human form.
After lunch, the little Demon Lady called out, "Can I speak with the head elf, now?"
Kreacher popped in next to her, "Little Mistress called for Kreacher?"
Astoria nodded, "I did, as the future Lady Black I have to familiarize myself with the house and its Elves. Can you show me around? Harry, you can relax, it won't take long. Come Kreacher, you can tell me what is behind that boarded wall at the front door."
I heard Kreacher explain that it was the painting of poor Walburga Black the Mother of the disappointing Lord Black. The last I heard was Astoria say, "We can't have that, Kreacher, a Son must respect his Mother, and a Mother must love her Son, remove the board and I'll…"
I turned to Sirius and said, "That is what happens if you like your Daughter-in-law more than your Adopted Son."
Sirius shrugged, "Live with it Pup, she was the first to call me Father-in-law, I find her a sweet and polite Daughter-in-law. She will be a fine Little Lady Black."
Hannah commented, "She will, I will be Lady Potter, that makes you my God Father-in-law I guess. Susan too, will be your God Consort Daughter-in-law. Do we have to call you that, God-Father-in-law?"
Sirius sighed, "No, just Sirius of Padfood will do."
Tracey David chuckled, "Don't mind it, Astoria is known for the ability to charm everyone to do whatever she wants. You just saw a small example."
Sirius entertained us with stories of his Hogwarts days and about their parents, it turned out that Madam Bones was Head girl when he was a firsty and just started pranking along with my Dad.
He giggled, "When we learned the Wingardium Leviosa, we waited at a corner and flipped the skirts of the seniors," then he swallowed and continued, "That was until we flipped Amelia's skirt, she had a bright red sexy panty on, I will never forget that sight… or the beating we got from her when she caught us. James and I spent an hour in our underwear with a sticking charm glued to the wall at the entrance of the Great Hall."
Sirius smiled, "It wasn't all bad, she took James and me under her wing when we went to Auror training, those were happy memories."
Astoria appeared before Sirius with her hands on her sides, and chided him, "Father-in-law, I just ordered Kreacher and Dobby to prepare new rooms for them! A boiler room is no place for a proper House elf! Poor Winky is recuperating in a dark smelly room. That is not acceptable! Also, the Hippogriff you were torturing is moved back to where it belongs! A room in the middle of London is not healthy for that animal, Dobby transported it back to Hogwarts."
Sirius protested, "Buckbeak is sentenced to be killed! You can not set him free!"
Astoria shook her head with pity, "Do you really think the people from the Ministry can keep those Hippogriffs apart? They can hardly recognize their gender. I bet he is happier with his herd," Astoria went on to the next topic, "We also need to upgrade our kitchen, but that can wait until Winky is better and tells us her wishes. The rooms in this house are a bit old-fashioned but livable, finally, Kreacher is preparing our rooms on Harry's floor."
I smirked at Sirius when I saw him cave into her demands, although she was right about Buckbeak. I said, "Lord Black will follow your lead, dear. He will show you what budget you have to do those renovations."
Astoria's face got radiant! "Mum has been tutoring me last month on that! I did not know I could put it to practice so soon!" Astoria turned to her sister, "Daffy? Can you help us, please? Tracey? Pretty please? Soon you will be Lady Slytherin."
Tracey nodded, "That is true, we have to use household budgets sooner than expected, this will be good practice for us. The same goes for the rest of us. Come, Sirius-in-law, we better get started."
Sirius paled when he got dragged into his office by six girls to do some serious accounting, when he looked at me for help I waved him goodbye. Grinning, I went to my room to read my Book, I was close to memorizing it completely. I can almost name the chapters… still having problems with the page numbers though.

"Tonks was bravely watching her suspect at the stakeout. Suddenly, she witnessed two women come into his room and sensually stripping out of their clothes, her suspect slowly removed his clothes, with his muscular torso laid bare, the women could not control themselves and started kissing and caressing the man. Once naked, the man let loose and began making love with a passion, his strong body dominating the females with ease, his thrusts deep and strong, the woman were moaning in ecstasy."
"Suddenly Tonks noticed the hands of her partner move to his pants to adjust his manhood and heard him mumble what a lucky guy that man was. Tonks felt her pussy warm up, watching her suspect shag two women and her partner having a hard-on, the heat became unbearable! Slowly she moved her hand on her partner's leg and let it slide upward, her partner groaned when she started groping his manhood."
"That set off a chain reaction, a minute later both were naked, their hot bodies enjoying the skin contact. Her partner kissed and caressed Tonks's body all over, and tasted her womanhood, when Tonks could not hold it any longer, her cunt was burning with passion, she pulled him up and let His Pego slide inside, she shouted, "Fuck me, Harry! Let me Cum screaming your name!"
Tonks woke up with a scream! Bewildered, she looked around and saw me standing beside her bed, I said, "Wakey Wakey, Tonks, it is almost dinner time. Ah? Did you dream of me? Was it as good for you as it was for me?"
I had to run outside when she screamed, "You fucking BRAT! I will get you for this!"
At the door, I shot back, "What? Did you prefer a glass of ice-cold water?"
I did not wait for her answer and went downstairs to the safety of my fiancees.
Xxxxx
At dinner, Tonks was glaring at me, no doubt planning her revenge. Hermione saw Tonks's angry face and sighed, "What happened, Harry?"
I smirked, "Tonks did not like the way I woke her up."
Tonks squinted her eyes, "No, I did not. You took advantage of me when I was sleeping, you let me do something only married couples do!"
Seven pairs of angry eyes and one pair of amused ones focused on me, Astoria asked, "Husband? Are you cheating on us? Six wives are not enough for you?"
I protested, "Hey! I did not touch Tonks with a finger or any other body part of mine! I just woke her up, I did not even use a glass of ice water. Besides, she had it coming."
"You better watch out, Brat, that was a low blow. Expect some serious retribution." was her answer.
I grinned, "I'll be waiting for it, Tonksie."
At the puzzled looks of the girls, Hermione sighed, "I'll explain later, it's a bit complicated."
Daphne slowly nodded, "I have no doubts about that, it's like watching cats and dogs fighting it out."
Hermione nodded, "We go to my room after dinner. Harry, you too. You have a lot of explaining to do."
Tonks coughed, "Whipped!" again. Sirius just shrugged, he was getting used to the daily drama.
Xxxxx
After dinner Hermione explained the deal between Tonks and me to blow off steam and frustrations, she ended with, "I don't know how they do it but it seems to work for them."
Astoria said, "I want to see what he did to Tonks that got her so mad."
Hermione called out, "Dobby? Can you bring the Pensieve please?"
Crap! This will get me in the Dog house… we are already in a Dog house. Reluctantly I provided the Memory. They came out of the Pensieve with different expressions on their face.
Hermione started, "That can not compare to a glass of water, Harry. That was mean."
Susan asked, "You can let Tonks cum in her dream? Is that a spell?"
I shook my head, "No, when I wanted to wake her up with a loud bang next to her ear, I noticed she was dreaming, you saw what I did in the Pensieve."
Astoria, "Harry? What is a Pego?"
I deflected that answer, "Ask Hermione, she knows."
Hannah called out, "I feel we need another round of the Vow of Truth. A lot happened today, this way we can trust the answers."
Crap, that again, but… it always en in a good way, I hope.
Xxxxx
When we swore our Vows, Tracey asked, "Harry? What do you feel for Tonks?"
I thought about that for a bit, "It is complicated, I would say she is like a nagging sister, but I never had a sister so I can not compare, our deal seems to work fine for as far as I can tell," I shrugged, "I bet she wanted to pour a glass of liquid on some of her colleagues heads, doing it on mine released her frustration and kept her job, when she poured that last glass on me I was having an erotic dream, so I gave her one too… that came out wrong."
Hannah asked, "Do you love Tonks?"
I nodded, "I do, not romantically like I love you, but you can call it… Family love could be a good description. Although you can hardly call me an expert on love or feelings."
Hannah glowed, "He said he loves me! I love you too, Harry!" she almost shouted when she jumped into my arms and started snogging.
Susan said amused, "Cool it, Hannah, we still have questions. Harry? What do you feel for Daphne, Tracey, and Astoria?"
I looked at the three and mulled it over in my brain, finally, I answered, "I am not sure, I feel curious about why they like me, why they want to be with me. What I can tell is that all three are drop-dead gorgeous. When I say I have the six most beautiful girls from Hogwarts in front of me, I would not be lying."
I smiled at them, "What little time I spent with the three of you was enjoyable, Hermione, Susan, and Hannah like you and vouch for you. Me, being a boy, I think with my Pego and would like to make it work."
Astoria gasped when she realized what a Pego meant, "No wonder Tonks got that mad at you!"
I shrugged, "I want to know why you want to share your life with me, I am not that tall or buffed, I am not that smart, although I am going to take my education more seriously. I have money, but so do your parents."
Daphne answered, "We saw the real you when you faced that Dragon. Someone else would go in, cast a few spells, and run out again. It would have completed the task without getting hurt. You faced that Dragon, even though we saw how scared you were, maybe you succeeded with a lot of dumb luck, but nobody from our year would be brave enough to go in that Dragon pit and do what you did."
Tracey added, "Then we discussed your years at Hogwarts, analyzed your actions, and speculated what rumors were true or not. Your Memories convinced us, Harry. You had a terrible time with your relatives and your years at Hogwarts were not peachy too, still, you remained kind and brave. We want to be with you, we want to let it work."
Astoria seated herself on my lap and said, "I am going to be Lady Black! The healers told me I have only till I am forty, thirty if I want to have a child, so I want to live my life! I watched you fight Acromantula, Basilisks, and Dementors. Harry, didn't you feel alive when you survived? Was your blood not pumping in your chest? The little time I have I want to spend living with you."
Daphne softly said with tears in her eyes, "The main line of House Greengrass is cursed with a blood malediction, it always affects a daughter, sometimes it skips a generation, but it always comes back. If Astoria has a child, it will not have that curse, it sticks with the Greengrass line. So if I have a daughter someday, there is a 50% chance she will have that Malediction."
I said, "Then we have to make the most of it with the time we have. We are going to look through the Black Library to see if we can find a solution or at least squeeze a few more years out of it."
Astoria shook her head, "Don't, Daddy spent half of his fortune looking for a solution, so did our Grandparents and Great Grandparents before them."
Hermione said, "We won't spend money, Astoria, but we will spend a lot of time researching for a cure. That we can promise you."
Susan gasped, "That was what those clauses are about in that marriage contract! Lady Malfoy is a vile bitch if she meant it like that!"
Daphne sighed, "Not from her point of view, Susan. She wanted House Black for Draco, Astoria, with her limited time will give Draco enough time to sire an Heir with another wife if Astoria has a daughter. That daughter would be in the same situation as you and I are in now. Being a Consort to save the Family name. We are lucky that we found our Sister-wife so they can't force a strange girl on us. Not many are that lucky."
I commented, "And yet you have to share with four more girls. I am not sure that I can handle that many, physically I mean. Even when I buff up, there is a limit on how many girls I can satisfy in one night, and six is well over that limit."
Astoria, who was still sitting on my lap, shrugged, "They can keep themselves busy, I watched Daffy and Trace do that many times, and yesterday Susan and Hannah told us they did too, even Hermione said she wanted to try. I don't mind either."
Hermione added, "Astoria is right, Harry. For this to work we have to share the… Love, yes, share our love."
Hannah sighed, "Four more weeks, I was mentally prepared to make love to Harry tonight. I wanted to feel his Pego deep inside me, his strong body dominate me, thrusting deep and hard…" Hannah sighed.
I pointed at Astoria, "I would not mind doing that next month, Hannah, but what about Astoria? I am not comfortable having sex with a thirteen-fourteen-year-old girl. I have a limit in my mind that says fifteen is the bottom age to start intercourse."
That is actually the truth, Old Guy put fifteen as the lowest age to have sex in his stories, in my opinion, sixteen is still… no, most muggle girls are at it at that age, and fourteen is the age of consent in the Wizarding world. So fifteen it is.
Astoria protested, "Hey! I want some of the action too! I don't want to wait until next year, I want to live!"
I pulled Astoria in a hug, "Here is what I propose, Lady Black, until you are fourteen, you can have some kisses on the lips, snogging starts at fourteen, and each month we go a bit further until we make love on your fifteenth birthday."
Daphne said, "Take it, Astoria, that is still almost a year faster than us. We turn sixteen in a few months. You get a good deal out of it."
Astoria sighed, "Alright, but I will stay in the room when you make love with Harry, I will not be sent to another room for a year, I am part of this too."
Hermione shrugged, "I am fine with that, I was reading Mum's dirty magazines when I was ten, I even paged through Dad's stack of porn before he noticed I found them."
Susan and Hannah nodded, Hannah commented, "We watched Aunty get in bed with my parents sometimes. We discovered that when we were eight, we practiced kissing just before we started Hogwarts. We don't mind Astoria watching us."
Susan came to me and pulled Astoria from my lap, "We have to wait until next month, that does not mean we can't have fun now, is it, Harry?"
Hermione came in closer too, "Shagging is out, the rest is free game, come, Harry, show your Pego."
That evening I found my secret weapon, Parselmouth is invented for this! Who cares about talking to snakes? Whispering sweet words to a pussy is ten times better! Even nipples can't escape that! Susan kept coming back for more. Daphne and Tracey were a bit shy at first but turned into sluts after several high points.
The Ice Queen had it bad, she grabbed my hair to keep me in place, "Keep talking, snake man! You got my cunt addicted to your tongue! Take responsibility! Ah! Morganaaaa!"
When Daphne came down from cloud nine, I presented Little Dude, "Take responsibility, Daffy, eating your cunt got him in the mood."
We got a lot of first that evening, I am starting to look forward to my future.

I woke up cursing, Tonks got me with the oldest trick in the book, she dipped my fingers in a bowl of warm water. I was just in time to stop the flow but had to run to the bathroom to let it out. I was lucky I had a boner and was dreaming or this one would have wet the bed.
Tonks smirked at me when I came out of the bathroom, "There is a wet spot on your Boxer, Brat. I thought you were potty trained."
I held my thumb and index finger together before her eyes, only a few hair thicknesses apart, "You are this close to a spanking, Bitch, on your bare ass I might add."
Tonks shrugged, "If you were six years older I might even liked that, Brat. Now you are just a kid throwing a tantrum."
I looked at her in pity, "This Kid got more pussy last night than you got Pego in a month, Bitch. And yes, they loved it."
Tonks rolled her eyes, "Keep bragging, Brat, maybe someday I believe you, they would not be the first ones to fake an orgasm to let their man think he is a stud."
She turned and walked out of the room, "Get ready, the hearing starts at ten o'clock we have to be there thirty minutes in advance."
Xxxxx
Tonks escorted us to the Ministry with Vance and Jones, the poor girl took a pepper-up potion to get through the day. In a mutual agreement, we kept the bickering at home. Now that I am in public, I kept the elder wand at Home under Dobby's care.
At the desk to register the wands I presented my Holy wand, while Hermione said she left hers at home, the Auror at the desk asked, "Why did you leave your wand at home?"
Hermione pointed to Tonks, "First, I am underage, so I am not allowed to use it, second, Aurors Tonks, Vance, and Jones are with us. Anyone that wants to harm me will have to go through them first."
I added, "And me, I can use my wand in defense of my loved ones. I can't wait to defend my loved ones and kick some pissblood's ass."
Hermione slapped my arm, "Language, Harry! That is not a proper thing to say! Remember, the others are almost all purebloods."
I nodded, "I have to find another way to describe them, what about the Ass Kissers? No, Voldemort doesn't trust those backstabbers at his back, Tom Riddle wants them groveling in front of him at his feet. Well, I will think of something later."
Did those Death Eaters behind me hear it? Yep, at the look on their face, they did. Tonks took Hermione to the gallery for the press and VIP seats. Two Canaries were there, dressed in eyeball-hurting yellow, those must be the Lovegoods, it had to be. We had some spare time and decided to have a chat.
Looking at her closely, Luna is quite pretty if you disregard some quirks, Xenophilius Lovegood drew the attention to him, he is the quirkiest of the pair. I wonder if Luna is a seer as lots of Fan Fics claimed or just crazy… quirky as her dad.
I decided to be a bit quirky too, "Good day, sir. Are you perhaps the owner of the Quibbler? Ah, sorry, let me introduce myself, I am Heir Harry James Potter, Heir Primary of Houses Potter and Black, I have other claims but you will hear them later on. This marvelously stunning beauty is one of my Fiancees, Miss Hermione Granger. Her parents are front fighters against the Rotfang Conspirators and making good progress as we speak."
Xeno was enthusiastic, "Then she must be a muggle-born! I only heard about muggles battling against it. Miss Granger, can you tell me how your parents battle against the Rot Fangs? Our Ministry denies the existence of that conspiracy."
Hermione was puzzled, what in Morgana's name are they talking about? She decided to just tell him the truth, "My parents are Dentists, they treat the teeth of every patient. Teeth with cavities are repaired, teeth that are rotted too far are pulled and most of the time replaced with false teeth."
I added, "It is our Ministries fault to let the Rotfangs fester in our community. Take Tom, the bartender from the Leaky Cauldron, for example, he has almost no teeth left, Dental Hygiene is neglected far too long in the Wizarding world. It is a true conspiracy."
Xeno nodded thoughtfully, "I did not look at it from that angle, you gave me new ideas, Heir Potter. Oh, can you tell us why you are here? This hearing is about some questionable actions of Headmaster Dumbledore."
"I am one of the main witnesses and victims of Dumbledore's questionable actions, sir," I sighed, "Today you will witness the fall of an Icon. The Rotfang Conspiracy will pale in comparison. Hello, Miss Lovegood, you are a Ravenclaw if I remember it right, how are you?"
Luna looked at me, "I am fine, thank you. How did you get rid of that big black Nargle?"
I grinned, "I let a Dementor kiss it away, that was not a good idea though, it almost snogged my Soul along with it."
Luna frowned, "Does Daddy have to sell me to you for faulting our loan to House Black?"
I shook my head, "No, your Father only missed some payments and has a good reputation. Besides, don't you have dreams to follow? Becoming an Enchantress, or a famous writer, or search for Magical beasts like your Father?"
I smiled, "You are far more worthy than what your Father is due to House Black. I am interested in being your friend though, I need more of those."
Slowly Luna nodded, "I could use some friends myself, Harry Potter, you can be one of them if you want," Luna turned to Xeno and said, "Daddy? I think I missed a chance here, could it be that the blubbering Humdingers are confused?"
Xeno shook his head, "No, Moonbeam, the Heliopaths offer us chances in life, sometimes they are equally good and it is hard to predict the right path. Heir Potter, can you tell my Luna what your Path offers?"
I mulled over that question, I looked at Luna and asked, "Do you want the truth, no matter what?"
When Luna slowly nodded, I summed it up, "Your Father would have to give you to me as a Consort for House Black because I am the Blood Adopted Son of Sirius Black. You would be the seventh wife, but I would make you Consort Peverell instead of House Black, going on the symbol on your Father's Necklace. You would be the consort of the Master of Death next month."
Xeno's eyes lighted up, he asked, "You have all three?"
"Yep, but the ring has some issues I have to deal with first. As you know, this better is kept a secret, that wand is a hassle to deal with. I hope you understand." was my answer.
I knew I had taken a risk telling them that, but I was not in a hurry to use the stone or the wand. According to my observation and the comments in the Fan Fics that Stone is promoting suicide. Come to us! This side of the fence is better! No more pain! If your parents tell you that…
Tonks called me, "Harry? Come, it is about to start you have to wait in the antechamber."
Hah! It is time to kick some bony ass!
I heard Luna say to Xeno, "Daddy? The Heliopaths are fighting, they want to change my mind!"
13 Answer our Questions, Albus!
I heard Luna's words when I walked to the antechamber, chills were running up and down my spine. Tonks just chuckled but did not comment, I bet she is saving it up for later. When we entered the antechamber, Tonks positioned herself next to the door, while I started pacing in the middle of the room, my mind spinning from all the topics we have to address today.
"They will call us when they are ready," said Tonks. She must have noticed my nerves getting the better of me, "Relax, Harry, this week you showed that you can handle everything, today will be the same. Once you take that stand remember that you are Harry Potter, Troll Slayer, Basilisk Slayer, Bane of the Dementors, and Kicker of Riddles ass."
I relaxed, everything will be alright, I nodded gratefully at Tonks, "You forgot Tonks Little Brat. Thank you, cousin."
Tonks smiled, "That is what Family is for, Little Brat. Ah, they started, you are up in a minute."
Xxxxx
The door opened and my name was called, "Potter, Harry James."
Tonks followed behind me when I entered the Hall where the Wizengamot held their sessions, I expected it was going to be Courtroom Ten, but this can work too. Must. Control. My. Nerves. I went to the middle of the stage, next to Madam Bones, she was playing the part of Magical Guardian for me.
"Lords and Ladies of the Wizengamot! Today I will present you Heir Potter to swear his Vow as Heir Potter and Heir Black! Something that should have happened on the first Wizengamot meeting after his eleventh birthday." Boomed her voice through the room.
I took the hint, stepped forward, and raised my wand, "I, Harry James Potter, accept the position of Heir Primary Of House Potter and House Black with all the duties and obligations they entail! This I Vow! So Mote It Be!"
Tonks put a mild sonorus on my voice, it reached every corner of the room when I continued, "There is more! I lay claim on two enemy Houses by Right of Conquest!"
Chief Warlock, Doge, or Dodge, asked, "Explain your claim, Heir Potter/Black, why do you think you have the right to make that claim? I must admit that we can not forbid you to claim it, but if the claim is not accepted you lose yours. If there is no Heir to the Houses you claim, you will lose your Heir-ship to the next in line, no matter how distant the relationship. Do you understand the graveness, Heir Potter/Black?"
I nodded and took a deep breath, "My Claim is from House Potter for the Houses Slytherin and House Gaunt!"
I had to wait a few minutes to let the room calm down before I explained, "Tom Marvolo Riddle, Son of the Muggle Squire Riddle and Squib Merope Gaunt, also known as Run away from Death or You Know Who," waiting again, "Tom attacked my parents three times with intent to kill them! On Halloween 81 he succeeded and wanted to end House Potter by killing me. His spell backfired and killed him instead."
I held my hand up to stop the noise, "He must have been very afraid of Death because he had done some insane rituals to let some kind of shade roam the World. In 91 that Shade of Tom Riddle possessed my Dada teacher Quirrel to get the Philosopher Stone, the one Dumbledore set at Hogwarts as bait. I killed Quirrel in Self-Defense."
That stirred a Doxy nest, after Madam Bones told them they will get an explanation later, I continued, "In my second year, the sister of a friend got a Diary Tom Riddle Cursed, so that whoever wrote in that Diary got compulsed to keep on writing, sucking the life and soul out of the girl, and forming a body for himself. I killed that Shade too. With the fang from the Basilisk, the one I killed a few moments before."
Do I do this on purpose you ask? Of course, it is live on the Wireless, free boasting, upping my rep, and bashing Dumbledore. Madam Bones again said that these topics would be handled today but the facts were verified. The good news is that Fudge and Umbitch have been muzzled, Umbitch in particular, she was fined for running her mouth, a repeat will get her sacked.
My last claim will scare the shit out of them, "A few months ago at the third task of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, that Shade managed to get a Homunculus body with the help of Barty Crouch Junior who was polyjuiced as Alastor Moody, the best friend of Dumbledore. I fought that Shade to a draw."
If they keep interrupting me I am going to be standing here until tomorrow, Fudge must have seen the memories because he is trying to make himself as small as possible, too bad, I wanted to kick him out of Office. I bet that slimy rat will use this occasion to look good to the public.
Ah, it is quiet again, "To sum it up, Voldemort, who claimed to be Heir Slytherin, attacked my parents four times and died, his Shade attacked me three times, he lost two times and one draw. Besides that, my Blood is running through that Homunculus's veins, I am 100% certain my claims are valid especially because he is a Kin Slayer. He killed his Father and paternal Grandparents and blamed his Uncle, Lord Morphin Gaunt for it. Lord Gaunt died in Azkaban, that is the reason he never could claim the Lord Rings from Gaunt or Slytherin."
Oops, did I forget to tell them that? Meh, they know it now. Madam Boned glared at me, I bet I have some explaining to do when she corners me tonight.
The Chief Warlock said, "Those are serious accusations, Heir Potter/Black, but it is not up to me to prove their truthfulness. Heir Potter/Black, you may proceed."
Hmm, a lot of them are hoping that I fail my claim, I did that in a lot of Fan Fictions, they can't all be wrong, do they? Do they? Crap.
Well, here goes nothing, I raised my wand and called out loud, "I, Harry James Potter, Last Scion of House Potter, Stand before Magic and the Wizengamot to Claim House Gaunt and Slytherin by right of Conquest, by killing Kin Slayer Tom Marvolo Riddle, and defeating his shade two times! Let Magic be my Judge! So I Say, So Mote It Be!"
Now l hope Magic likes me or I am kicked out of my House… I don't have a mansion yet! Not even a shack. After a few seconds, I got some action, a light covered me from head to toe, judging me no doubt… Why does it take that bloody long… oops, I'll be nice, Magic, don't get mad at me, please.
Ah! I got one ring! The light is too bright to see which one it is though, Yes! Another one! Hmm? Why am I still in the spotlights? Another one? Why did I get three rings?
The light finally faded, quickly, I inspected the rings, Gaunt, Slytherin… Hmm? I got the Potter Ring? I showed my rings to Madam Bones, "Somehow the Potter ring came along, Madam Bones. Does this change anything?"
Madam Bones studied the rings and spoke out loud, "Lords and Ladies of the Wizengamot, Heir Potter's claims came through! Magic Judged Heir Potter in the Right and donned the Lord Rings on his fingers! More, the Potter Lord Ring is on his finger too, before you stands the newly minted Lord Potter/Slytherin/Gaunt!"
She turned to the Chief Warlock, "Chief Warlock Doge, all that rest us to do now is let Lord Potter swear his Oaths to the Nation."
Warlock Doge had to pick up his jaw from the floor, he recuperated after Madam Bones' comment, "Congratulations on your claims, Lord Potter/Slytherin/Gaunt, You may swear your Oaths when ready."
Well, here goes nothing, it is time for my last kick in their ass, "I, Harry James Potter, Lord of Houses Potter, Slytherin, and Gaunt, swear on my Magic that I will follow the Laws of Magic, that I will follow the Laws of the Crown, and that I will follow the laws of the Wizengamot for as long they don't conflict with the Laws of the Crown. So I Say, So Mote It Be!"
That stirred the Doxies up again. When they settled down after five minutes of shouting and cursing, Chief Doge said, "That is not the correct Oath, Lord Potter, nobody swears to the Crown. We swear to the Wizengamot."
I shrugged, "I am sorry to disappoint you, Chief Doge, I just swore the original Oath as was agreed when the Wizengamot was formed. The Crown insisted that every Lord Swore fealty to the Laws of the Crown. That is a core law that the Wizengamot can not one-sidedly revoke, the Crown has to agree to that without Magic compulsions or spells. Which will never happen."
I turned to the Lords and Ladies, "I might even say that everyone that did not swear to the Crown is in Violation of the Core Laws that founded our society. Let me ask you, what will happen if I ask Magic to judge every one of you? How many will lose their Magic? You forgot that we are living in Britain, not in Avalon or Narnia."
I held my hands up and asked out loud, "What will happen if Voldemort kills too many Muggles? There are over fifty million muggles in Britain, what will happen when the Muggleborn and Half-bloods are tired of getting killed by Voldemort? I will tell you that even I will side with the Muggles and hunt those rabid dogs down before they get us all killed!"
One of the Dark Lords stood up, "You will turn on your own kind? Traitor!"
I laughed, "Are you my kind? Then why are you aiming to kill us? Aren't Muggleborns Magic users? My Mother was my Kind, my Father was my Kind. You Rabid Dogs, are not my Kind at all! Besides, you are branded slaves of Tom Riddle, the son of a Squib and a Muggle."
I mocked the Dark Lords, "What? Are you able to kill over fifty million people? How many purebloods and misguided Halfbloods are there in Britain? A thousand? Ten thousand? Let's say you can kill half of them, twenty-five million people, what are the other half going to do? What if the people of the World find out that Wizards are hunting Muggles? Do you think you can win? You will be the death of all of us you morons. Pureblood Supremacy is a tune that Tim Riddle is singing to get his hands in your vaults. And what do you get out of it? So you can rape and torture muggles like the rabid dogs you are."
The idiot didn't give up, "They are no match for our Magic, Boy."
I shrugged again, "And you are no match for their intellect Lord whatever your name might be."
Madam Bones stood aside and enjoyed the shouting match, I got tired of the idiots and turned to the Chief Warlock and asked, "Where is my seat? This is supposed a hearing is it not?"
Chief Warlock answered, "You are too young to sit in the Wizengamot, Lord Potter, you have to appoint regents or proxies to sit in your Seat. Only Slytherin and Potter have seats in the Wizengamot, the Gaunts lost theirs a few centuries ago."
"Fair enough, I appoint Lady Abbot as my Proxy for House Potter," I smiled at the Chief, "But I am sitting in Slytherin's Chair. Lord Slytherin has no age limits to sit in the Wizengamot."
Xxxxx
It took twenty minutes to check it out, but I sat my ass in Slytherin's seat. When future Mother-in-law was sworn in, we could start the show.
Madam Bones's voice boomed in the hall, "Today I stand here before you all as the Magical Guardian of the now Lord Potter, appointed by the DMLE after we discovered that not one, but dozens of our Laws were broken! I hand over the procedures to the head of the Auror Division, Rufus Scrimgeour."
Rufus came on stage and clarified, "Lords and Ladies of the Wizengamot, on the third of August, Lord Potter came to the DMLE to protest against the charges of underage Magic and breaching the Statute of Secrecy that the Ministry put on him. He proved his innocence by showing his memory of that encounter. That Memory showed an attack of two Dementors on Lord Potter and his cousin."
Rufus had to wait until the people calmed back down, "This memory is examined and cleared as authentic, the fact alone that only true Occlumence Masters can tamper memories, something a fifteen-year-old boy, no matter his other skills is not capable of."
Rufus got the attention of the crowd, "This visit from Lord Potter to the DMLE uncovered other issues, crimes against House Potter, crimes against Lord Potter, and crimes against our community. The main culprit is none other than Albus Dumbledore, currently the Headmaster of Hogwarts."
This time it was the light side of the Wizengamot that protested, Rufus calmly waited for them to sit back down and continued, "As a Member of the Wizengamot and a recipient of The Order of Merlin First Class, and the years we respected him, we called him to this Hearing to ask our questions and give him a fair chance to explain himself before you and the people at home who are listening to the wireless."
BAM! Those Lords forgot they were live on radio, suddenly they remembered all the things they shouted at me and all the things I pronounced. The mood in the Wizengamot changed, people are listening, they have to be careful of what they say, public opinion is important after all, don't wake up the sheep when they are dreaming their shepherds are keeping them safe.
Rufus called out, "Bring Albus Dumbledore on the stand please."
One of the guards opened the door of the antechamber and looked inside, he turned and said, "Albus Dumbledore is not here, Chief Scrimgeour."
Rufus shrugged and said, "We will give Dumbledore some time to show himself, he is known for his dramatic entrances and late arrivals. I will use the time to name the Laws Dumbledore neglected and broke while he was responsible for Lord Potter's care."
With a wave of his wand, copies of the St Mungos report of my examination appeared before each Lord, "Copies of this medical report are available for the reporters, most of you must have read it already in the Daily Prophet, and the Will of the previous Lord James Fleamont Potter and his wife. A fact that Madam Bones disclosed to the public as the Magical Guardian with Lord Potter's approval."
Rufus gave the Lords and Ladies some time to read it, checking that the Daily Prophet had it right for once, he raised a finger, "This starts from the time Miss Trelawney had a job interview with Headmaster Dumbledore, she made a Prophesy which set off a chain of events that leads to this Hearing. A Death Eater partially overheard that Prophecy, and You Know Who started the hunt for the Current Lord Potter. We have a lot of Questions about this. For example, a Seer that gives a prophesy at a job interview? How convenient is that? Or is it staged by her or both?"
Rufus raised his second finger, "Lord Potter was put on the doorstep of his Aunt, the muggle sister of Lady Potter, by Dumbledore, and forced them to raise the boy. That was well before Lord Black was put in Azkaban without a trial. Lady Longbottom was attacked five days later, both are Lord Potters Godparents."
Crime after crime was called out and questioned its legality, ten minutes into the speech, Dumbledore entered, out of breath. He composed himself and said, "My excuses for being tardy, Rufus. Somehow my Phoenix was unable to enter the Ministry and I had to walk here."
Rufus cut him off, "You must have known that when you were discharged from the Chief Warlock seat, Mr Dumbledore, you were told that your way of entering the Ministry has to be done through the entrances like everyone else, Mr. Dumbledore. Go sit on that chair facing the Wizengamot so we can start our Questions."
Dumbledore sat down with his trademarked Grandfatherly smile, "Of Course, Rufus, I am sure we can clear all these misunderstandings, it hardly deserves the precious time of the Wizengamot or mine."
I raised my hand, when Rufus gave me the word, I asked, "Dumbledore, to save yours and our precious time, are you prepared to take a Vow to speak the truth? A Vow with your real name, not the fake one you have been using since you graduated from Hogwarts?"
Dumbledore chuckled, "Harry, my boy, I was teaching at Hogwarts when your grandparents were students, I was headmaster when your Parents were there and still am your Headmaster. My years of Service to the people is proof enough of my sincerity I must say."
I chuckled back, "Then Albus, old boy, you will have no problem taking that Vow. After all, you are sincere and honest, that Vow will set the minds of the people who have doubts at ease, it is a simple Vow, Albus, you won't even lose your Magic if you lie."
Chief Warlock Doge spoke up, "Take the Vow of truth, Dumbledore, the accusations at you are too serious to let you simply say I didn't do it. Lord Potter, why did you say Mr. Dumbledore is using a fake name?"
I answered, "As my Magical Guardian can testify, Dumbledore's real name is Albus Percival Dumbledore, he added Brian and Wulfric when he was publishing papers from home to look more important."
Madam Bones spoke up, "We looked it up in the records, every entrance of Dumbledore's name has been tampered with, confirmed by the unspeakables. Records of his OWLS at the ICW and his birth certificate said his name is Albus Percival, nothing more."
Rufus turned to Albus, "Mr. Dumbledore? Are you prepared to take a Vow of truth? This way the Lords and Ladies, not to forget the public at home who are listening will be reassured of the honesty of your answers. It is no big deal if you have nothing to hide, is it?"
Dumbledore sighed, "I will if it sets your minds at ease. I, Albus Percival Dumbledore, will take a vow to speak the truth to answer the questions of the Wizengamot, so mote it be. There, will that satisfy your suspicions?"
Rufus shook his head, "Mr, Dumbledore, you must have mistaken me for one of your first-year students, you just said you are going to take a Vow, you did not Make that Vow. Now I Demand that you take that Vow! You are proving that your answers can not be trusted. Take the Vow, Dumbledore or we will use Veritaserum on your trial."
Albus protested, "Are my years of service to the people not enough? I defeated Grindelwald, I led the Wizengamot for years, I was the Supreme Mugwump for the ICW! I earned the respect of the World! I am not a common liar!"
Rufus nodded, "That is true, Mr. Dumbledore, you are not a common liar, the facts here indicate that you are an exceptionally skilled liar, starting with your so-called defeat of Grindelwald. Take the Vow!"
Dumbledore shook his head, "I have my rights, Rufus, you can not force me to incriminate myself."
Rufus smiled, "As a matter of fact, I can force you to take that Vow, Dumbledore. Better yet, it was a law you voted on not so long ago. Muggleborn and Half-bloods can be forced to take Veritaserum when serious crimes are suspected. A law from 1984, Dumbledore. What will it be, Vow or Veritaserum? Mind you, if it is Veritaserum, you will have a three-day regime in the DMLE infirmary with flushing potions and medical examinations. I suggest the Vow, Mr Dumbledore."
I raised my hand, "Chief Auror Scrimgeour, I have written the words of the Vow on this parchment, he just has to speak them out loud with his wand raised, as you know, Albus old boy, that is how Vows are taken."
Cornered, Dumbledore had no other way out than to take the Vow, he took the paper and read it first. Just when he wanted to raise his wand, I called out, "Don't change a single word, Old boy!"
That was the first time he had lost his mask. "Be more respectful, Harry. I am still your Headmaster!"
I cut him off, "And I am a Lord of Three Houses and currently demanding that you take that Vow as it is written to the last letter, Albus! For the record, address me as Lord Potter, maybe then I will call you Mr. Dumbledore."
Rufus insisted, "The Vow, Mr. Dumbledore, I read the vow and see no fault in it. Take the Vow and answer our Questions!"
Several Lords and Ladies called out to take that damn Vow and stop wasting time. With a sour face, Dumbledore raised his wand, "I, Albus Percival Dumbledore, Vow that I will speak the truth during this Hearing of the Wizengamot today, no matter how many recesses there are or lunch breaks. So Mote It Be!"
Got Ya! He will find out the hard way what this Vow will do to him. The next few hours Albus was forced to speak the truth. No, that was not an interview, it was staged to lay a trap for Tom Riddle, yes that is his real name. I knew that all the time, yes I knew what was going on in Slytherin, yes, I knew about Severus Snape's behavior in his classes. The list went on and on.
The highlight was the betrayal of my parents, Dumbledore knew of Pettigrew's betrayal and used him to set the trap. He knew when Tom Riddle attacked the Cottage and why he sent Hagrid instead of going himself. Yes, he knew that Sirius was innocent and of the attack on the Longbottoms, they had to be out of the picture to make his plan work for me.
Then my situation came up, which sealed his fate. The blood wards, the ward to abuse me, bound my Magic, ignored the abuse and wounds, stole from my vaults, and let his friends live rent-free in my houses. Special attention was given to how he controlled my mail. Hedwig was trained to let Dumbledore read my letters first, and an invisible ring made a copy of each letter for his desk.
WTF? I did not know that! Worse! He could alter my letters with that copy! That old Goat tampered with my bloody letters? Thank Merlin I used Dobby to give letters to Susan and Hannah.
To his horror, Dumbledore noticed that the Vow compelled him to answer truthfully, no matter how he tried to bend the truth, it all came out. Rufus realized that if he called for a recess or lunch, Dumbledore would skip Town and escape, so he forced his way through the Questions.
My life at Hogwarts came up next, Yes I knew Tom was possessing Quirrel. Yes, those obstacles were designed for Harry. No, Flamel refused to give the real Philosopher Stone as bait. Yes, the wards warned me about Tom's Diary, Yes, I knew about the Basilisk and who set it free. Who cares about Muggleborns and Half-bloods being petrified for months? I put the Basilisk in stasis... I wanted to harvest the Basilisk after the boy died, of course! No, because I wanted to keep the Galleons for myself… To buy new robes… They are expensive, you know! What do you mean off the rack? I deserve the finest quality from France and Italy I'll have you know! I specially ordered those Lemon Drops! Because they are laced with undetectable potions that is why they cost that much!
No, I bound Fawkes to me. No, it is not a Familiar Bond... No, Fawkes did not agree with that bond… he was playing with Ariana at that time… It is just a Magical bird, why are you making such a big fuss out of it, he is mine. Because I know what is best for the World! The future depends on Me!
That were Dumble's true answers, the last nail in his coffin was his love story between Gellert and Albywalby. His relationship with Gellert, killing Ariana in the crossfire, ignoring Gellert's rise to power and evading him during the war, finally his duel… disarming him after a shag, and his Fidelius to hide Gellert.
I sat back and enjoyed the show, Dumbledore was desperately looking for a way out, he noticed the Aurors from the ICW taking positions, and every Lord holding their wand in their hands, the anti-Portkey and apparition wards were up and his connections with the Wardstone was cut off. He realized he was set up, someone discovered that he was hiding his Gellert and this Hearing was just a farce to catch him.
Albus felt a hand grabbing his hair and a wand poking his back, he heard Moody's voice softly say, "Please resist arrest, Albus, I beg you to resist arrest. Yes, Potter lent me his cloak just for this."
Rufus started to disarm Dumbledore and searched him from head to toe, removing all Portkeys and defenses, finally, Rufus spoke up, "There is an Arrest warrant out for Albus Dumbledore by the ICW! They allowed us to have this hearing to expose all his crimes to the Public. He will be trialed and convicted by international laws to expose him to the rest of the world! Aurors, he is all yours."
When Albus was frogmarched out, I asked to be heard, "I suggest we keep this session of the Wizengamot going until midnight, that way the ICW gets honest answers from Dumbledore as well. Another thing that I want to point out is that everyone that swore Fealty to the Heir of Slytherin is sworn to me."
I stood up and raised my wand, "Therefore, my Vassals, I will let it know that if you attack my family, me, my friends, or innocents, use any of the unforgivables, Rape, Torture or Kill muggles or Muggleborns, then I will confiscate your Lands, Tittles and your Vaults. So Mote It Be!"
By the look on their horrified faces, a lot of Lords felt that command settle in. I was not finished, "I, Lord Slytherin and Lord Gaunt banish the Shade of Tom Marvolo Riddle from Houses Gaunt and Slytherin for the crimes he committed to the heads of both Houses. So Mote It Be!"
I felt a shift in my family Magic… of what I think Family Magic is. That must have hurt Tommy something bad, losing his puppets to me and getting kicked out of the family in two sentences… I RULE!
Old Guy is Right! Kicking Voldy's ass is satisfying… the satisfying part has to be rephrased, people could misunderstand it… I can't think of something better at the moment. Tonks is right, being suspected of being an SM Master is not a nice feeling.
When we left the Wizengamot chamber, a Yellow flash jumped into my arms, "Husband! The Heliopaths told me I am your wife!"
Huh? Since when?
