"Ron's about to announce his engagement to Krum any day now."
Ginny's smile was wide as she stood next to Harry, leaning against a tree as she talked to the twins. They were setting up camp or at least trying to. Harry was watching Mr. Weasley in his attempt to get the campsite set up and his amusement was high as he watched him.
Granted, Harry could have helped him but he was more amused by watching Arthur try and figure out the complex tactics of using matches. The Ministry law was such that they should go camping the Muggle way, granted there were maybe only less than fifteen percent of the people who followed that law. Still, it was Arthur Weasley who was one of the people who decided to follow that law and the results of his actions, well his success was mixed to say the least.
Harry would have snickered in his amusement had the situation not been so serious. Kara's expression matched his for sheer amusement and Diana looked on with a combination of amusement and exasperation before she turned to Harry slowly and a thought echoed through her mind.
'One would think that basic skills like lighting matches would be something that people would learn,' Diana thought as Kara, Harry, and even Karen and Faora were all amused at this thought.
'Yes, one would think.'
Nym turned back up to join them, watching in amusement although that amusement was cut prematurely short as Hermione decided that she would be the one to finally show some form of pity on Arthur. Harry and Kara were mostly saddened, their entertainment was cut short but they supposed that all great things would have to come to an end eventually.
"Here you go, Mr. Weasley," Hermione offered with a sigh.
"Aw," Kara whispered in a soft voice that only Harry could hear but Harry placed his arm around her.
"There we go, it's really tricky, more complicated than it need to be," Arthur offered as there were a few sparks and he got the fire going.
"I don't see why we couldn't do this with magic," Ron offered in a dopey voice.
Ginny spared her father the answer. "Because, Ronald, it's because Muggles can't use magic because when we're camping and we don't want to raise the ire of the Ministry."
"Yes, Ron, we must remain discreet," Arthur remarked and Ron shook his head as if he wondered why they weren't getting the obvious.
No one would really know, they were wizards, couldn't they modify memories? Sometimes, Ron thought that he was the only smart person out there; no one was able to comprehend his genius. He felt like no one understood him.
Kara's expression darted around, her lips twitching into a bright smile as she thought about the situation. Yes she was completely amused about everything.
"Good day, good day to you all."
Harry's expression turned into one where it appeared that someone had forced him to swallow something completely sour as Percy Weasley turned up, along with the two older Weasely brothers.
"Bill, Charlie," Ginny said as she greeted her two oldest brothers with a bright smile. She looked up to them, mostly because they did the sensible thing and got away from their mother at the first possible chance they had.
"Hey, Ginny," Bill remarked with a smile that crossed his face as he turned around.
"Ginny," Charlie commented in agreement.
"This is Harry, Harry Potter," Ginny remarked in a casual voice and then she commented in a teasing tone of voice. "You might have heard of him."
"Yes, somewhere, yes," Bill remarked with a mirthful smile.
"And he's my best mate in the entire world!" Ron piped up randomly.
Bill was honestly surprised that his mother let Ron out in public given the circumstances. He had regressed past the level of a young special needs child and it was almost unfortunate to watch. It was like a broomstick crash waiting to happen.
"Yes, yes, so Harry," Bill remarked as he reached forward and took Harry's hand. "Princess Sersi raves about you."
A calm expression spread over his face. "Oh she does, does she?"
Somehow, Bill was not surprised by the fact that Harry was nonplussed about having a princess of the goblin nation practically worship the ground that he walked on. If half of the rumors about Harry were true, well Bill heard things about him that were out of this world. Therefore, he was going to take some things in stride because that was the way Harry rolled.
"So you work with the bank and Charlie here works with dragons," Harry commented before he decided to chime in. "Well you wouldn't be accused of having an uninteresting job, would you?"
"My mother would disagree," Bill offered with a shrug of his shoulders but Harry's smile widened before he spoke his mind.
"Your mother may disagree with a lot of things," Harry said in a dismissive tone of voice.
Bill smiled, there was no way whatsoever that he was not going to agree with a statement like that.
"Oh, look it's Mr. Crouch!" Percy yelled loudly.
Harry rolled his eyes from what he heard about Crouch, he was a fool and a politician to the highest degree. The green eyes of Harry Potter rolled into the back of his head and he was not the only one. Ginny, Amanda, Emily, and Kara all looked amused at Percy's devotion to Crouch, with Amanda in particular humming "Here comes the Bride" under her breath.
Hermione was trying extremely hard to act respectful but she was failing miserably at it. Amanda's smile widened.
"And Mr. Bagman as well!" Percy remarked in a jovial tone.
Then it was Ginny's turn to role her eyes, the fact of the matter was, she heard Percy talk about at length about how Bagman was a disgrace to his department. And now he was lined up, primed for brown nosing. That was just like Percy in a nutshell.
"Arthur, Arthur, good to see you, good to see you," Bagman stated in a jovial voice as he bounced up and down on his heels, looking like an overgrown and quite outlandish cartoon character.
The Potter twins locked eyes with Ginny and Kara also looked extremely amused.
"Arthur," Crouch offered in an overly stiff and overly formal tone of voice.
"Barty, Ludo," Arthur remarked to them, with a jovial smile crossing his face. "I hope that both of you are well."
"About as well as we could be," Barty offered as he stepped around and his eyes had the impression of someone who did that much sleep, if he ever slept.
"Well as could be, well Barty, no need to be so modest," Bagman commented with a bright and wide smile on his face. "We've been absolutely spiffy, just corking good, I mean, it's the Quidditch World Cup, it's time to celebrate, let our hair down, have some fun."
"I don't think so, Ludo, we must remain vigilante, the Cup being in Britain, it's a security risk that could expose us to the Muggles," Crouch offered as he turned around and scoffed at some of the attire. He thought that some members of their world could get a refresher course of what it means to be inconspicuous.
"Mr. Crouch, would you like me to make you a cup of tea?" Percy asked.
'So, is he going to be wagging his tail and begging for treats or what?' Faora projected through the bond link.
'Well, he's most certainly Crouch's bitch,' Harry through the bond link to Faora.
"What….yes, oh sure, sure, Weatherby."
The twins, both sets of them, broke out into a loud round of raucous laughter and Ginny's eyes twinkled with the highest amusement. There was one thing that flickered through her mind.
'Valued member of Mr. Crouch's staff, eh,' Ginny thought as she shook her head.
Percy went red around the ears and ignored the chortles.
"Well it's been quite the ride Barty, but there's plenty more to organize," Ludo remarked to them as he watched over the group at large.
"Ludo, we agreed not to reveal any details about it until it's finalized," Crouch stated as he warned his colleague. There was something about having to work with idiots like this that annoyed Crouch and he blamed his son for getting caught because it tanked his career. He saw himself perched upon a higher pedestal.
"Oh pish posh, Barty, I mean that all of the I's are dotted and the t's are crossed, aren't they?" Ludo asked to them. "It's happening at Hogwarts, they're going to know in a little over a week anyway, so why not give them…"
"Ludo!" Crouch snapped in a rough tone of voice and to his credit, Ludo fell promptly back into line, at least for now.
"They must be talking about the Triwizard Tournament," Harry offered, not even bothering to keep his voice low and Fred, George, and Ginny all looked interested at this.
"You're joking," one of the Weasley twins gasped.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Harry asked them and both twins shook their heads.
He looked about serious as a heart attack.
"Now….that's not been confirmed," Crouch stated although he look flustered.
"Barty, the cat's escaped from the bag," Bagman remarked to him.
Crouch's eyes flickered with annoyance, as he tried to voice his next few words, which looked to be very hard. He was panting heavily and trying to spit out something that was coherent.
"Who told you this?" Crouch asked as he stepped forward and got into Harry's face. "Who told you this, boy?"
"That's really not any of your concern, besides it's not a state secret, I'm sure half of the Ministry employees have blabbed to their families by now," Harry informed Crouch in a light tone of voice.
"Who do you think you are talking to me like that?" Crouch asked.
Harry smiled. "I'm Harry Potter."
He paused for a second and mouthed one more word to Crouch.
"Bitch."
Crouch sputtered at this and Bagman looked slightly amused. Percy looked like he thought Harry drove an entire bus of orphans off a cliff.
"I think we should go for a walk, get some fresh air, see what some of these people think passes as Muggle clothing," Harry remarked and Kara smiled.
"That'd be fun for a laugh," Kara commented to them.
"Yeah, it would be," Hermione offered, as she saw a man in a flowered print dress walking by and her amusement was dancing through her eyes.
Rose wondered how people could be such idiots about how Muggles dressed. All it took is five minutes to go out to Muggle London and observe how they dressed and acted. Then again, given these brain surgeons, she should not be surprised.
"I'll tag along as well," Rose offered, as the twins, both sets of them, along with Ginny, Kara, Diana, and Hermione followed Harry forward.
Ron would have come along as well but he had been distracted by a pebble and could not join them. And for that Harry was quite frankly thankful because he had his quota of Ron Weasley for one day.
"These people must have dressed in the dark," Diana commented before she looked around, awestruck at the gall of some of these people and what they wore. She was completely at a loss for words and her mouth opened before it clamped shut in the numb shock that she had.
"Don't worry love, I think that they're perfectly aware of what they've worn," Harry remarked as his eyes flickered, he wished he was more amused than he was now.
"Yes, it's unfortunate, but true," Ginny remarked, wondering how hard it was to spend five minutes doing research.
The group made their rounds and ran into some old friends and more than a few annoyances. Harry in particular caught a glimpse of Draco Malfoy but that was more than enough for his tastes for this evening.
"Harry!"
Astoria and Daphne smiled as they showed themselves. Daphne's long hair was tied up in a ponytail as she wore a white blouse and blue jeans that stretched around her ample curves. Astoria wore a black tank top and a jean skirt along with knee high boots that showcased her amazing legs.
"Hey, Daph, Astoria, nice to see both of you," Harry remarked before he pulled them both into a tight embrace. He felt their curves pressing against his body. Tracey showed up around the corner, dressed in a green shirt that stretched around her body and a black pair of shorts.
"Hello, Harry, nice to see you as well," Tracey commented and Harry's smile widened.
"Hey, Tracey, how was your summer?" Harry asked her and the brunette's smile widened as she kept her eyes on him.
"Oh it was pretty good so far," Tracey remarked and there was a second where Astoria was looking curiously to the newest arrivals.
Harry had explanations that he had to give and he decided to give them a truncated version of the summer that was. His smile widened as he started to give them a recap of his summer and what it was.
Daphne and Astoria watched in awe and Tracey's lip curled with a smile.
"Well Harry, you do live an interesting life as usual," Anastasia commented before she stepped forward and Harry greeted her with a tight hug, before kissing the older Greengrass woman on the lips.
Anastasia remembered his kisses but they got even more amazing since the last time she met him. Her eyes widened as she felt his mouth work against hers and Harry enveloped his arms before pushing her body against his. The MILF worked her tongue into his as Daphne and Astoria looked at each other.
"We've got to get ourselves some of that action," Daphne remarked as she stepped forward and waited for her mother to stop with her fun.
Astoria pouted as she watched her sister kiss Harry. Her turn would come and she would be far better than Daphne would be.
The blonde waited for her time and the youngest tackled Harry, nearly banging him off the closest tree. She made sure his hands rested on her thighs and she wrapped her legs around him. Harry balanced her against himself as Astoria tried to ram her tongue down Harry's throat. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and pressed her body against his.
"Well, whoring yourself out to Potter, why aren't I surprised, Greengrass?"
Astoria stopped kissing Harry and turned around to look at the person who suddenly got sick of breathing and sure enough she saw him, Theodore Nott scurrying off after making that comment, making his way towards his father and several of his associates. Astoria recognized them as two high level Ministry employees, so retaliating against Nott right now would not be a good idea.
"Oh, that was uncalled for," Hermione remarked as she saw him.
"Not to mention cowardly," Kara stated with a frown.
"Sadly there are a few idiots like that," Anastasia offered to them, she wished that people like that were the exception and not the rule but it would be mind-numbingly frustrating to even attempt to argue that point.
Harry's face contorted into a smile as he watched them all around. Astoria crossed her arms and glared at Nott. If looks could kill, well the little weasel would be about six feet under by now.
"Deal with him later," Harry whispered to Astoria and she nodded.
"Right, too many people," Astoria commented and he turned to see Ginny standing at his side.
"Hi, Ginny," Harry remarked as the redhead stared at him.
"Harry….I have to show you something, could you come with me please?" Ginny asked Harry and the green eyed wizard looked towards her.
"Sure Ginny, anything," Harry remarked as he followed her into the woods where she led him.
Ginny looked over her shoulder, before she cast a few charms behind her back. She figured given the number of wizards in the area, she was not going to be given a warning for the Underage Magical Restriction.
"Just some charms to make sure anyone not in the know doesn't interrupt," Ginny remarked as she threw her arms around Harry and Harry scooped her up, before waving his hand and causing the rocks to be turned into a makeshift mattress. "Very…nice."
"I aim to please," Harry told her before he looked in her eyes. "So why don't you kneel before me?"
"Yes, master," Ginny told him as she dropped to her knees and began to unbuckle the front of Harry's pants.
"The very top row," Ron remarked as he walked beside Harry but Kara nudged him out of the way. "So we're getting to see him up close, Victor Krum, isn't that going to be wicked?"
"Yes, wicked, now please get away from me, I want to take my wives to their top box seats," Harry stated as he grabbed Diana and Kara around the arms and both girls smiled.
Ron had no idea why Harry would even want to hang out with a girl, they were bloody bonkers, but he was not about to say that to their faces. No he had a few brain cells that were still left stirring around in the back of his head that were close to being functional.
"Mr. Crouch organized this all, don't you know," Percy commented in a loud and pompous voice.
"Oh, Mr. Crouch, you're amazing," Emily whispered as she pulled Amanda into a tight hug.
"Oh, Weatherby, you sure know how to suck up," Amanda whispered as she grabbed Emily.
"Oh, Mr. Crouch, can I hold you?" Emily whispered with a smile on her face as Hermione, Ginny, and Rose were all amused, although Rose was trying not to show it all that much.
"Oh, Mr. Crouch, you're really amazing," Amanda breathed in her sister's ear.
"Take me, Weatherby," Emily offered Amanda in a breathy tone as the twin girls started to kiss each other their tongues dancing against each other.
Everyone, well mostly everyone, was amused and Fred and George exchanged a glance with each other before one of them remarked out loud.
"We wouldn't make out with each other, even if you paid us," one of the twins remarked.
"Well maybe for a million galleons," the second twin offered to the other and the first twin nodded.
Harry was disturbed by this potential situation so he decided to cut in with a few words of his own. "I'd pay you a million galleons if you didn't make out."
Fred and George grinned at each other before the Weasleys made their way to their seats which were in a different section from Harry's. Harry led Rose, Amanda, Emily, Kara, Diana, and Hermione off to one side, looking back he saw Lucius Malfoy speaking with the Minister of Magic. Draco was there looking like a puffed up Turkey, trying to act more important than he really was.
"He's really kind of pathetic," Kara whispered to Harry and the green eyed wizard smiled back at her.
"Yes, he is," Harry remarked as he grabbed Kara by the hand and lead her off. The green eyes of Harry Potter flickered with even more amusement as he led them forward.
He wanted to make sure that he got them seated.
"So Bulgaria and Ireland, how are these two teams?" Diana asked, she was interested in this game more than anything else.
Rose was only too quick to inform her of what was going on. "Ireland is one of the best teams in the league, although they do have a fairly weak seeker. Bulgaria is a decent squad but they'll be creamed by the Irish in chasing. Krum on the other hand, he's a one of a kind seeker."
"So I heard that Ron Weasley kid say," Diana remarked and Harry was amused by Diana calling someone around his age a kid. It really did amuse him a lot.
"Harry Potter, it's quite interesting to see you in the flesh at last," a voice commented and Harry turned around to see her.
She might have been approaching her forties but she did not look anywhere near the north side of thirty. In fact she looked as if she was still in her early twenties. She wore exquisite robes that wrapped around her body and flowed down in every direction. Her blonde hair framed her face quite nicely and there was a pair of gray eyes that looked forward towards him.
Narcissa's smile crossed her face rather wildly as she eyed Harry up and down, oh he did prove to be quite the tasty treat for sure. Her eyes never left his body as she checked him out.
Narcissa's smile crossed rather wildly as she eyed Harry up and down, oh he did prove to be quite the tasty treat for sure. Her eyes never left his body as she checked him out.
"You wanted to meet me," Harry remarked to Narcissa and the woman nodded before she turned to another party.
"Andromeda, it's good to see you again and Nymphadora, it has been too long," Narcissa offered as Nym gave her aunt a dirty expression at using the dreaded full name. Narcissa brushed it off. "I'm sure Harry has informed you that I've sent him a letter earlier this summer."
"He has," Andromeda confirmed as she kept her eyes on her sister.
"My daughter has raved about Mr. Potter and his talents and I'm long overdue to finally meet the man who my daughter thinks so highly of," Narcissa offered before she watched Andromeda. "And it's good to see my oldest sister once more."
"Thank you Narcissa, have you been keeping busy?" Andromeda asked her sister. While she somewhat patched her relationship with Narcissa over recent years, there was still an undercurrent of tension. Then again, that was how things worked in old pureblood families, they were always tense beyond all measure.
"I have been yes," Narcissa admitted to herself. "I will be borrowing Mr. Potter for a short time although I doubt that we'd both miss much."
Harry followed Narcissa but he kept his eyes on her at all times. There were many reasons to keep his eyes on someone like Narcissa Malfoy at all times but he knew by now that appearances could be deceiving. He sent off a dupe to return at a predetermined time, as far as anyone knew, he was in the bathroom.
This woman enjoyed the mental game of chess that both of them played with each other. The two of them made their way up the spiraling staircase towards the private box.
"Does Lucius…."
"My husband is too busy currying the Minister's favor and he will buy my excuse that I am visiting with some old high society friends, although I have arranged for Anastasia Greengrass to stop by, I believe you know her and her daughters," Narcissa informed him, corking an eyebrow.
Harry smiled knowingly. "Quite well."
Narcissa's grin got even wider as she lead Harry into the private box where they would not be disturbed. The babbling of Bagman was for the most part blocked out because that could really kill the mood.
There was a bed that was set up and Harry smiled.
"I was assuming that this was a matter of business, Mrs. Malfoy," Harry told her with a smile crossing his face.
"It is, in a way, but it's also a pleasure meeting," Narcissa commented to Harry before she spoke. "I do have a meeting regarding business but all that I need is not quite ready. We will meet together during the first weekend of the school year in Hogsmeade, if that is agreeable to you?"
"Yes, that will be fine," Harry offered to her and Narcissa smiled, her smile getting wider.
"Nice and now it's time to see what my daughter has been talking about," Narcissa offered as she slowly undid her dress, a smile crossing her face.
Harry watched as her dress dropped to the ground and she was dressed in nothing but a black negligee that she was about ready to burst out of. He saw the tops of her lovely breasts, down to her smooth and toned stomach, and the apex of her legs, which were quite shapely. Narcissa turned around and he saw the hints of a black thong that covered her body. The material looked quite expensive and clung to her.
"Now, I believe that you know what you need to do," Narcissa breathed as she stepped back and Harry smiled towards her.
"I do know so," Harry offered as he groped her from behind and then wrapped his arms around her, before he kissed her.
Narcissa's mind nearly shut down as his tongue worked its way into her mouth and began to push her lips apart, to work down her throat. She returned it as she started to remove his shirt and cause his hair to get thrown into disarray. Her hand snaked down the front of his trousers as she squeezed him nice and hard to get him in the mood.
Sure enough, Harry's dupe returned to him and walked forward before slapping his palm to Harry in a high five motion. The green eyed wizard absorbed the dupe back into him.
He returned just to see the game finishing up. Draco and Lucius gave him the usual smugly superior look but Harry flashed them an "I just fucked your mother and wife, so there" look.
Lucretia appeared to be the only Malfoy that was able to get the significance and she was a bit put off that she did not join her mother and Harry in their fun.
There would be other opportunities.
Narcissa returned more satisfied than ever, not that Lucius noticed. His wife could be doing cartwheels in front of him, dripping in pudding, and he wouldn't even notice.
Most everyone called it, Viktor Krum sore loser that he was caught the Snitch, while Ireland gave the Bulgarian Team a painful drubbing. Harry only mildly cared, from what the twins told him, the game was not anything to write home about. It was more of the atmosphere of being there at the Quidditch World Cup.
Harry had his own atmosphere to worry about and it was amazing to say the very least.
The night was long and Harry laid in bed with Kara snuggled to one side of him, naked as the day she was born. Diana was snuggled in on the other side of him. He enjoyed the two beauties next to him. He slowly moved his head to rest them on Diana's breasts and Kara clenched his manhood as she shifted around his body.
There was a loud crash and a series of loud voices outside, along with laughter.
"Oh did they have to get that drunk?" Kara murmured in her sleep but Rose was at the front of the tent, talking to Arthur Weasley.
"What do you mean there are Death Eaters at the campsite?" Rose asked as the twins got up and got dressed. Hermione followed them, pulling themselves out of bed. "And they're….damn it."
Kara got up out of bed. She knew from what Harry told her, these Death Eaters were the minions of Voldemort or at least whatever was left over from the war. Some of them died, others got sent to Azkaban, and many were still out there, after they claimed enchantments, claimed to be bewitched and all that rot.
Kara did not believe that and she doubted that she was the only person who did not believe such a thing. The blonde shook her head in frustration as she pulled on her shorts and a white t-shirt before she grumpily rummaged for a pair of shoes. Diana did likewise.
"They're attacking the Muggles at the campsite," Hermione stated and Diana's eyes widened, anger bubbling over in her eyes.
"That's cowardly, attacking people who don't have the abilities to fight back," Diana offered, her fists clenched and her teeth gritted.
Harry sensed an opportunity as he wondered how much of the chaos he could take advantage of.
The Ministry officials were running around like chickens with their heads cut off and the situation was getting even more frantic. The group outside the tent made their way forward into the distance, as the masked figures in the center peered up at the group of Muggles.
Kara saw them, holding them up in the air and her fists clenched together with anger. She could fly up there and save them but she didn't relish having to explain that to the entire Ministry of Magic. While flight without brooms was a relatively rare ability some had, flight as good as a Kryptonians, that didn't exist.
Diana was angered at how cowardly they were acting, that was something that caused her to nearly lash out and attack them. The warrior spirit in her wanted to show them a fight and she could hold her own, both with her training and what she was taught at the castle. Hell she passed the exams to get into seventh year at Hogwarts with flying colors.
"You will drop them on the order of the Ministry of Magic!"
Amanda rolled her eyes, and they all knew that was not going to work at all. The Ministry were extremely useless in a situation like this and the Death Eaters were beginning to laugh at the situation at hand. Their arrogance was at an all-time high.
There was a loud explosion in the air and Harry at first thought that it was the Death Eaters causing even more trouble for their enemies.
More of these extra meteors from the first meteor shower were falling from the sky.
'What now, do the goddesses want another booty call?' Kara asked as she looked at the meteors in the air. 'Won't work given the antidote, would it?'
'No it won't work, although there's some kind of disturbance that is bringing all of the meteor rocks in that part of space down….Karen's trying to figure out what it is but….you might have a problem, a bunch of idiot wizards making a nuisance with a whole lot of meteor rocks about to come down on your heads,' Faora thought through the bond link. She thought that they would have to do some sort of damage control to keep these meteors out of the hands of idiot wizards who would end up doing something stupid with them.
There was only one word that they could describe the situation at hand and that was "damn."
The meteor rocks whizzed through the air and one of the Ministry officials looked up before he decided to apparate out of the way.
It was the smartest thing that anyone in the Ministry of Magic ever did in their lives as the rock came close to flattening him.
"NOW EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN. HEM H…"
That statement from Dolores Umbridge was never finished as one of the larger meteor rocks came down on the top of her head and flattened her into nothingness. She would be missed by no one.
There were loud screams as the Death Eaters rushed to the woods, many of them too drunk to even Apparate out of the way. There was so much going on that it was hard to really deal with all of the chaos.
The meteors caused chaos which allowed Harry, Kara, and Diana to pick off a few of the Death Eaters that stood in their way. Of course, they just knocked them out but the meteors were the ones that finished them off. Not that they would not have been finished off without external interference.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
Ron looked around and saw some children scurrying around each other. His hands went numb as he saw them and he saw the meteor coming down to them.
He was going to do the Gryffindor thing and rush on in. He grabbed the children and pushed them out of the way, but he had neglected to get out of the way himself in time.
Another meteor crashed down onto the back of Ron's head and flattened him immediately. The fact Ron Weasely was crushed to death was not witnessed by anyone but the two children he saved. It seemed like everyone was too busy trying to save themselves to notice straight away.
Theodore Nott was in the woods, away from the chaos of the camp site where the meteor shower was raining down. He thought that he would be completely safe from the meteors.
Suddenly, an object stabbed into his stomach and Nott's eyes widened, before blood began to spurt out of his wound. The hand from the shadows pulled the dagger free and Nott collapsed to the ground.
The wound might not have killed him had he got proper medical attention.
Not to mention if he had not gotten trampled on by the retreating Death Eaters, including his own father. Theodore Nott was crushed underneath the stampede and would be found in the morning by the Aurors who combed the woods for bodies. It would be much too late for anyone to help him.
The dark mark that flickered in the sky appeared to be secondary to the meteors that kept falling and would keep falling for some time. Most of the campsite was evacuated, but there were more than a few casualties as the glowing green rocks of death rested on the ground.
The Ministry of Magic was in a state of chaos after what happened at the Quidditch Cup. The Death Eaters were a big problem but it was not the biggest problem to be honest. There was the incident involving the meteors that caused those at the Ministry even more fits. They claimed that there was no way they could be held responsible for what happened and that the incident was unforeseeable.
Granted, that might seem logical, although when the Dark Mark being sent up to the sky was one of the lowest priority things as far as news was concerned, there was something that was most certainly amiss. Everyone was up in arms and there was an ample amount of finger pointing. The Daily Prophet had a field day.
"Dumbledore's calling an early staff meeting," Rose told Harry as they stood in the entrance Hall in Castle Peverell. Amanda, Emily, Kara, and Diana were with them, along with Hermione. Hermione heard that there was a library, so she naturally was going to head off to there before long. "The Triwizard Tournament….well I don't want to say that it's in jeopardy but there are some concerns about what is happening, with the foreign Ministries."
Harry smiled, already it was going to be a game of politics.
Diana hoped that things could be smoothed out because she extremely excited about the tournament, and looking forwards to hopefully competing but then again, that was the Amazon Spirit within her. The dark haired Amazon smiled at the thought of everything she had to look forwards to in the near future.
"So do you need to head off to Hogwarts?" Kara asked her and Rose was quick to respond.
"In a day, Dumbledore wants everyone there and I do mean everyone," Rose offered to them. "So I can stick around for a little while but Amanda and Emily….you're going to have stay here until the school year begins."
"That's fine, we can spend some quality time with Harry," Amanda offered to them with a knowing smile and Emily rolled her eyes at her twin's subtlety or rather lack thereof.
"It's just as well that you're here, because I have someone for you to meet," Harry offered to them and there were a few smiles at this statement.
"Who is it?" Emily asked, curiosity dripping through her voice and trying not to betray the fact that she was so excited about the situation.
"Well I'll lead you through the door and we'll find out," Harry remarked as he saw Hermione who was fidgeting nervously. Harry could only see what was on her mind. "Kara, love, could you do me a favor?"
"Yes, Har, what?" Kara asked with a smile across her face.
"Could you show Hermione to the library?" Harry asked Kara and the blonde nodded in response. "And make sure she doesn't barricade herself inside and never come out."
Hermione's eyes widened before she scowled and Kara smiled before she lead Hermione to the library. The two girls talked, getting some time to know each other one on one.
"So what did you want to show us, Harry?" Amanda asked as her eyes danced.
"Patience, Mandy, my dear," Harry commented as he lead his sisters and Rose to the next room. "Mum, they're here."
"That's great," Lily offered as Rose's eyes widened before she saw Lily. Her mouth was opened as she stepped forward towards Lily. "Rose, it's good to see you."
"Lily, it's….how did this happen?" Rose asked as she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around her sister tightly, pulling her construct into a hug.
"I'm not completely back, this is just an Artificial Construct based off of me but it will do for now," Lily remarked before she spun towards Amanda and Emily with smile. "Amanda, Emily, it's nice to meet two of you in the flesh."
"Mum," Amanda managed as she stepped forward. "I've…..I've heard about you but this is the first time I've seen you this is…."
Lily smiled as Amanda hugged her and Emily seemed beyond words for a moment. The twins switched off before Emily wrapped her arms wrapped around her.
"I can't believe this, that I'm meeting you after this time," Emily commented to them.
"I wish I would have got to see you grow up but I knew that Rose would take good care of you," Lily remarked before her.
"I just wish I would have taken good care of Harry but it was too late by the time I could take my NEWTs and get out of Hogwarts, it wasn't until the first of the year after that Halloween," Rose informed Lily and Lily nodded with an understanding smile.
"And you couldn't come to visit because likely Dumbledore would have had the house monitored for visitors, for security reason," Lily remarked to Rose and Rose nodded. "And if Dumbledore knew about it, he would tell Snape because for some reason he trusts the man."
"Yes, there have been many rumors about the true nature of their relationship but….I'm not one to bring it up," Rose offered but whilst she had tact, Lily did not.
"Snape seems like a bottom because Dumbledore's not about to be a bitch in that relationship," Lily commented and the twins laughed as Harry's eyes widened. "And I believe I have some catching up to do with my daughters and my sister."
The twins smiled and nodded, they would like some of that. Harry meanwhile had a buzzing in the mental link.
'Hey, Karen,' Harry thought to her through the bond link.
'Hey, Harry,' Karen thought back through the bond link as he placed his hands on his hips. 'I was trying to figure out why the meteors fell when they did.'
'Could it be explained by science or is there some kind of supernatural explanation?' Harry thought to her through the link.
'Actually, one of the governments were mucking around with a new satellite,' Faora remarked to him through the bond link before she continued to speak. 'And then there was as excess of magic in the air from the cup so it caused everything to be thrown off balance.'
'So….it's a good thing that no one of value was lost,' Karen thought to him.
'Well Ron was flattened apparently although he did go out a hero,' Harry remarked to them through the bond link.
'As Karen said, there was no one of value who was lost,' Faora persisted through the link and Harry simply responded with a nod, that was more or less the fact of the matter. 'We're ready to go to the next step soon, while you complete your last year in Hogwarts and get your education at Cambridge, there will be pieces that will be in place. If there's anything that comes up, well I can easily access you.'
'Jaime and I are arranging for all of the meteors to be cleared out as well,' Karen added. 'Knowing our luck, the Ministry will try and use the meteors to create super powered house elves or something stupid like that.'
'That's good,' Harry told her as he switched through the bond link.
'Hermione's enjoying the library, although I might need your help to get her out of here come Hogwarts time,' Kara thought to Harry through the bond link.
'Well, gives her something to occupy her time, although we need to get some training in later,' Harry thought and Kara smiled through the bond link.
"Books are extremely useful as a foundation but the true knowledge will be created through thoughts of your own invention," Peve explained to Hermione as the brunette stood next to the woman.
"So you've been around for a very long time, haven't you?" Hermione asked the woman, there were a lot of curiosities that was coming to her and the brunette bookworm witch turned towards Harry.
Harry smiled, she would have questions, she would not be Hermione if she did not have any questions. That was just the way her mind worked all things considered.
"Okay Hermione, I know you have questions about everything," Harry informed her and Hermione nodded, a smile crossing her face.
"I do have questions but I'm willing to give you a chance to answer them, but only if you want to," Hermione commented and Harry smiled for a few seconds before he reached forward and grabbed her around the hand. She returned it, squeezing his hand. "Peve….she's like a magical portrait in some ways I guess, but she's a whole lot more advanced, isn't she?"
Hermione was reminded of artificial intelligence that often popped up in science fiction but she doubted that she'd ever see something like this in the real world.
"More advanced, yes, very much more advanced," Harry remarked before he looked at Hermione. "So do you believe that there's life on other planets?"
Hermione raised an eyebrow, she was confused about this brazen line of questioning from Harry but she knew that he would not say something like this unless he wanted to press her for certain information.
"Harry, you know….given that I'm a witch, and have seen several extraordinary things, life on other planets is fairly high on the scale of believability," Hermione remarked because after all, all of those things in fairy tales that she thought were myths like dragons, castles, wizards, and all that, they were all true. So why wouldn't a lot of the outlandish things about science fiction that were out of this world could be true?
"Well, I'm….my origins were not completely human," Harry admitted to Hermione and she spun around before Amanda, Emily, and Rose showed up. While they already knew a lot of this, Harry decided that it would be a good idea to fill in any blanks or clarify anything that they had been thinking about. "So, I think that it's time to tell everyone everything."
Amanda was the first one to state something that they'd all been thinking. "Oh it's because….yeah it was kind of a truncated version last time?"
Rose was wondering if something like this was going to come up and she decided to cut to the chase. "Well, I think Hermione's earned the right for an explanation for this one."
Harry smiled, his aunt had a good point.
"Yes, you'll find out, my mother….well her reproductive organs were damaged by a curse in her seventh year," Harry offered but Lily was angry.
"Yes, that no good dirty coward Snape, he thought that he could have me for himself if he hexed me," Lily stated as she gritted her teeth.
"Okay, Mum calm down," Harry told her.
"Snape deserves to suffer for the rest of his life after everything that happened," Lily remarked to him but she shook her head. "Anyway, I went to the cave, it was part of my job in the Department of Mysteries."
Rose knew a lot of this but naturally it was good to hear it from Lily because she knew how this story went the best.
With that, Harry and Lily explained everything, well mostly everything, there were a few things that they left out for the sake of time. Hermione, Amanda, and Emily waited although it was obvious that Rose picked up enough of it.
Amanda, the second that they were finished, jumped on a certain point. "So….since the crystal changed Mum….have you figured out…well?"
"Does that mean we have special abilities too?" Emily asked as she crossed her arms with a smile, dare she hope that this was the case.
There was a few seconds where there was a pause and it was Lara who responded with a statement of her own.
"It's possible naturally, I will have to perform a full scan but any abilities that you will receive…..they will come in upon your fourteenth birthday or around that time," Lara remarked as she stated these next few words quite thoughtfully.
"So around the time of their second magical maturation," Rose informed Lara.
"Correct," Lara confirmed.
The twins were hopeful but Hermione looked quite thoughtful and it was hard to read her expression now.
"Always thought there was something alien about you," Hermione remarked before she smiled towards him. "But I never thought that it would be so literal."
Harry thought that it was good that Hermione willingly accepted this because he would hate to see her life debt to comply.
"So...so that's interesting," Hermione remarked before she watched him. "Although I wonder how long you're going to live because…..well even though magical users live a long time, with aliens, there is another variable."
"A long time from what we've been able to figure," Harry said.
'Yes, most of the buildings in the world will be dust,' Faora thought to them, although given the bond, those who were bonded with Harry would get some form of increased longevity. Then again, there were a few things that they had to do and the foundation of the world that they lived in, it was only beginning to grow.
Harry decided that he would get around to answering a few letters; it was long overdue that he was going to get around to doing this. A smile crossed his face as he opened the latest letter and prepared to read it.
Dear Harry,
I'm sure you've been busy lately but I've been sitting here bored out of my mind, so thought I'd fire off a letter.
Where does the time go anyway, with summer vacation? It just seemed like yesterday I got out of school and now I'll be starting in a few days. The good news is that our old friend Falcone was moved to a different school.
And Eddie the Riddle Meister is gone as well so really….all of the threats are kind of gone aren't they? It's completely weird, isn't it?
I know you're keeping busy despite everything, although you make people who normally say they're busy look really lazy. I could have sworn that I saw your "cousin" out here about a day ago, scoping out something in Gotham City. After the latest mob deal gone wrong, there's a lot of real estate that's up in the air so might be a prime time to take advantage of something cheap.
You didn't hear that one from me, though.
So I hope that things are going good for you and Kara and any other girls you might have randomly married in Vegas.
Talk to you soon,
Barbara.
As always, Harry had a smile on his face as he prepared to pen a response of some sort. He tapped his pen on the paper and started to scrawl his retort to her.
Dear Barbara,
Well, like you said, I'm sure that you'll have a few new nuisances this year, there are a lot of misfits in Gotham City. Don't worry, something will come up.
Alex mentioned that she was going to take a brief trip to Gotham. With any luck, I'll be out of Hogwarts before the Christmas holidays and then I'll be able to go over there. Fingers crossed, it'd be a hell of celebration.
Don't tell Pamela I told you this, but I'm looking into the old Botanical Gardens. In other words, if she's around, eat this letter, immediately. I don't want to spoil the surprise for her.
Yes, I'm busy and there were no more spontaneous marriages in Vegas. However there was a spontaneous battle on an island full of warrior women where I beat a woman in combat and married her after dominating her. Then I beat her mother and dominated her then I married her as well. It's a great story, I'll tell it to you sometime.
Now with that vagueness out of the way, as you know, I'm preparing for the last term of school. I've been training and getting ready for the school year. It's already interesting. I'm not sure if you heard of the astrological event that happened the other night. Yes, I was right in the middle of it. But then again, when am I not in the middle of everything?
Talk to you soon and take care.
Sincerely,
Harry.
The emerald eyed wizard worked his way through the stack and he saw Pamela's letter next. Hedwig watched him patiently. Harry flexed his fingers as he opened up the letter and prepared to digest what Pamela had to say to him.
Dear Harry,
School's coming soon, not freaking out nearly as much as Barbara. I'm at the point where I'm considering my options for the future but with my grades, I might have too many options and not enough options, if you can believe that.
I'm really enjoying my time here although it wasn't as good as the time that I enjoyed with you. Obviously a man of your talents, you can't be everywhere at once, although there are times where that would be really handy.
Especially with me, I swear, I've been swamped with everything that I've tried to do. The plants are really interesting; although I have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't take over the greenhouse. I guess you weren't kidding when you said that they would try and overrun the greenhouse.
It's a challenge and one that I'm happy to undertake. Although there are sometimes where I wish that I was able to control plants, just a tiny bit.
Hopefully things will work out for us to meet up once again soon. Fingers crossed.
Love,
Pamela.
Harry's smile widened before he reached over and began to answer it.
Pamela,
Well, something might fall into line during the Christmas holidays. Let's just hope for the best.
Yes, you do have options and it's always good in life to have those options. I know that you will leave a legacy that you will be proud of and that's all that matters.
I wouldn't have given you the plants unless I know that you could take the challenge and I know that you can more than handle everything that is thrown your way. So you've done really well with them if you could control them.
Hopefully you can continue to enjoy them and I really hope that you keep enjoying them.
Will be seeing you really soon, sorry if this letter seems so short, so much to do, so little time. Let me know if you need anything though. Maybe we should figure out an easier way to communicate although there are other ways, they don't come rather cheap.
Love you too,
Harry.
Harry had one final letter to get through and with a grin across his face, he prepared to open up the letter. The wizard's smile got even wider.
Dear Harry,
Well I'm back in the States…..although it isn't really the worst thing in the world, Britain has to have the worst weather in the world. Seriously, it rained every single day I was there, all three of them.
Okay, that didn't seem too bad when I talk about it in that way, only raining a few days but it was pretty bad all things considered.
I'm back home and my father is continuing my tutoring. He doesn't expect much from me. Okay, that was sarcasm, which doesn't translate that well to writing, at least that's what I noticed.
Seriously though, my father is someone who wants the best for me, but I think that he thinks that I can learn all of this stuff he did in a day or something. I collapsed after today and I'm literally writing this letter with my last bit of strength.
Not to sound like a nagging wife even before we're married, but you did look at this contract right. Actually….don't blame you if you didn't, there's a lot that you need read through.
I really hope that we meet up again and get to know each other better. I think that our first couple of initial meetings barely scratched the surface. There are rumors of your exploits but….don't believe them really. Dad told me that most of everything that's said over there isn't true. Like they've said that you've slayed a Basilisk with your bare hands but that can't be right.
Not that you couldn't but….actually did you or didn't you?
Hope that things get better over here and I hope to see you really soon.
Zatanna.
Harry decided to answer the letter straight away.
Dear Zatanna
Just keep your head up and keep working towards an end point. Hard work and persistence pays off more than anything….as I've sure your father has told you.
And I'm glad that you think enough of me to use your dying breath to write the rest of this letter. That's really amazing and it means a lot to me.
The contract, my legal council looked over it and everything was on the level, so it should be fine. Like we said at the meeting of the bank, if we need to use an escape clause, it's there but smooth sailing and all that.
Yes I did slay a Basilisk, I burned its head off. I nearly died because of it. Granted the full story is even more gripping.
Keep your head up, Zee. I'll be seeing you soon.
See you,
Harry.
Harry put away the letter and he saw someone standing outside the door.
"Hey, Emmy, come in," Harry said to Emily as she walked inside his office to face him. "Are you having trouble?"
"Yeah, Defence Against the Dark Arts," Emily offered to him as she stepped in to face him. "What creature is driven off by a Patronus spell….well you know other than the obvious?"
"That'd be a Lethifold," Harry remarked before he turned to her. "Those are nasty pieces of business, they resemble a cloak. Many people have put them on, thinking that they would be going out for the day and bring them home. They devour people in their sleep."
Emily's eyes widened in horror at this thought and she shook her head. "That sounds awful."
"Mostly because it is awful," Harry told her before he smiled. "Thankfully they're really rare and only found in Tropical areas. And even then….well you'd have to be a complete idiot to fall for something like that."
Emily paused before she said something. "And how many complete idiots are there out there in a year?"
Harry smiled before he let her in on the knowledge. "Eight deaths in the last year alone, although the magical governments in the countries in question pass them off as a freak accident."
"That seems about right," Emily offered as she rolled her eyes but she smiled.
"Is there anything else, you need?" Harry asked her and Emily thought about it.
"Having a bit of trouble on the Cheering Charm really," Emily offered to him and Harry smiled.
"It's not that hard, although you don't want to make a person seem punch drunk if you over do it or if you do it wrong, you'll make them sound mopey," Harry offered to Emily and the redhead nodded. "I've got these targets in the next room that we can go and practice it on."
Emily nodded her head, she'd like that very much and she followed her brother for a little bit of practice.
"I think that we're in pretty good shape for the next school year," Kara commented as she watched Harry with an adoring expression dancing through her eyes and Harry smiled as he held her body in close to his.
"We should be in a pretty good standing, we know a lot more than most our age do," Harry remarked before he looked at those badges. Kara was more interested in that badge than Harry was already.
Although he had to admit that those badges did give him a certain ability to see things from a different angle and he thought that they would put him in a position of leadership. If he could lead a school, especially a school full of misfits like Hogwarts had, he would be well on his way to accomplishing more loftier goals. The emerald eyed wizard thought that was some kind of silver lining to this entire situation and he kept his mind on the situation.
"We'll see what happens this year, but NEWTs in December, you, I, and Diana, and then a holiday to Paradise to celebrate them," Harry remarked before he smiled. "Although Diana's wanting to compete in the Tournament pretty badly."
"What do you think about it?" Kara asked and Harry smiled.
"I wouldn't willingly enter the tournament, even though I could win it with one hand tied behind my back and the other hand helping the other contestants," Harry remarked before he smiled. "Then again, with Diana in there, I almost feel sorry for those other competitors."
"Yes, I agree, the Amazons play to win," Kara remarked as she sat down against Harry, in the tree outside in a park in a room that pretty much simulated any settings.
'Hey, I'm not that bad,' Diana thought through the bond link.
'You are that bad,' Donna chimed in cheerfully.
'Maybe I should add another mark to the one Harry gave you,' Diana thought in a challenging manner to her sister.
'I would have to concur with my youngest, you get a bit hot tempered in the heat of battle, but I suppose that runs in the family,' Hippolyta thought as she added. 'Amongst other activities as we've learned. Although if you wish to give me a spanking, I'm afraid you're going to earn that.'
'I'd pay money to see that actually,' Karen thought saucily through the bond link.
'I would too,' Faora remarked to them through the link as well.
Harry smiled before Kara brought up a point.
"The Horcruxes….you haven't forgotten about them, have you?" Kara asked Harry.
Harry had not forgotten about them although he was glad that she brought them up. "The next one is the Diadem that Riddle hid at Hogwarts. It could be potential valuable and if it all possible, I want to preserve it if I can."
Harry knew that Peve found a way to protect the ring from getting too damaged.
"And then there's RAB and what he did with the original locket," Kara reminded him and Harry answered with a brisk nod. "Do you have any leads?"
"I'm thinking that might be Sirius's youngest brother, although going through the Black family heirlooms is like a minefield," Harry remarked before he placed his hands on his head. "And I'm next in line for the Head of House since Sirius had been cast out and Regulus is dead."
It was one of the reasons why Malfoy worked so hard to make sure that Harry had been banished to the Muggle World and grew up ignorant. They did not want him to get his hands on the heritage that was rightfully his and would continue to be rightfully his.
Harry checked the time.
"We'll worry about that later, I've got to get to the Ministry to take my exam for Wizengamot accreditation and get licensed for Apparation," Harry remarked.
He could fly but he supposed having an alternate way of travel would not be the worst thing in the world. Even though he much preferred flight and also the gateways that were going to be set up between certain points like Smallville, Gotham, The Island, and other locations that Harry and his wives were going to be visiting often. He supposed that he should set up one near Hogwarts, likely in the area of the Shrieking Shack.
"You're going to pass it with flying colors, like you do everything else," Kara offered as she threw her arms around his neck and leaned forward, before giving him an extremely passionate kiss. "Good luck….not that you need it."
"The sentiment's appreciated never the less," Harry offered as he pulled away from Kara.
"Well, Crouch doesn't seem to think too highly of you," Amelia offered as she walked with Harry after he passed both exams with flying colors. Not that there was any doubt in the world.
"What's your opinion on Crouch?" Harry asked to Amelia and the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement kept her eyes locked onto Harry's.
"Mr. Potter, I don't speak ill of a colleague," Amelia offered, although she had her own negative opinions of the man after all of the investigations that he bungled and all of the headaches that she inherited from him.
Harry smiled, his grin getting even wider before he placed his hands on her side and looked into her eye. She shivered a slight bit as he backed her against the wall, both in the literal and the figurative sense of the word.
"Is that a nice way of saying that you don't have anything worthwhile to say of him at all?" Harry asked as Amelia stepped to the side, discreetly and went into her office but Harry followed closely behind her.
"Again, the Ministry is an extremely political game," Amelia remarked as she placed her hands on the desk.
"I know and like most political games, it's broken and might need a revision of the rules from time to time," Harry told her as he sat down in front of her.
Amelia felt the office atmosphere get much hotter than it was but she tried to keep her mind on her business. She had not thought of pleasure since her fiancee died so she figured that she might be cracking under the strain of pressure.
"You seem stressed out," Harry commented as he placed his hand on her shoulder and this action caused Amelia even more tension.
"The rigors of this job could get to one after a while," Amelia said in the most honest voice as she felt Harry's hand on her shoulder and it moved up towards her cheek for a second.
"And you do such a great job at it, which makes it even better," Harry commented to her as his hand reached down and slowly brushed against her.
There was no question about it, Amelia was feeling rather hot and she felt the heat was spreading from her cheeks. She recalled this being like the sensations that most men and some women felt from Veela females but she had never felt it. Until now and there was a burst of what appeared to be pheromones that were full force.
If the thought did not seem utterly absurd, she would have thought that Harry Potter would be some kind of incubus that was trying to seduce her right in her office.
"You could be even more Amelia and you'll find that if we get in bed together, we can make anything happen," Harry commented as he reached over and started to slip her robes off. This caused her another shiver.
"Mr. Potter…."
"Harry," Harry corrected her, as he saw her tight blouse that wrapped around her ample bosom. In fact, her breasts looked about ready to burst out of her top. He casually flicked his finger and allowed one button to pop out.
"Right Harry, I don't think…." Amelia offered but she felt the dampness coming from between her thighs and Harry waved his hand.
All of the folders were cleared off of her desk, along with the other materials into neat little piles. Amelia was not going to lie, she appreciated him doing something like that.
"What don't you think?" Harry asked as he placed his hands on the side of her neck and stood where his crotch was about eight inches away from her rising heat. "When's the last time you've ever been with a man?"
"It's been….never. My fiancé died during the war with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and we never had the chance to be intimate," Amelia admitted to Harry and the wizard smiled at her.
"Then with a witch from your power, the backup must be amazing," Harry commented as he ran his hand down the side of her face and lightly skimmed her breasts.
"What are….you doing Mr. Potter?" Amelia asked before she felt her legs part unconsciously towards him.
Harry smiled before he leaned towards her. "I told you to call me Harry."
Amelia felt his green eyes wash over him and she nodded. "Right Harry, sorry…what are you doing?"
"I'm trying to seduce you, Amelia," Harry commented as another button came undone from her shirt and revealed her bust encased in a black bra. Harry smiled as he saw more of her cleavage revealed for him, it was really a visual buffet for his eyes.
"Harry…" Amelia stated as she felt her blouse completely give away and her panties soaked to her skin.
Harry watched her, her large tits jiggled mesmerizingly in her bra.
"Do you want me?" Harry asked as he used his heightened sense of smell to gauge this fact.
Amelia's eyes flickered shut as she bit down on her lip and slowly but surely, she nodded her head as her heart hammered within her chest. She felt the sensations of pleasure coursing through her pussy the likes of which she hadn't experienced in ages.
"Do you want me?" Harry repeated as he reached down between her thighs for a second before touching the heated mound. "This says of course but I want to hear it from you."
"Yes," Amelia stated before she pulled herself out of her chair before she looked at him with unrestrained lust. "I want you now!"
Amelia stated this statement with a growl, fifteen years of pent up sexual frustration came out like a dam and she grabbed Harry around the waist before pushing him back against the desk. The wizard was slammed back down and Amelia wrapped her legs around him as she kissed him.
"I lead this dance, Amy," Harry commented as he rolled over and her bra gave way.
Diana put up a shield quickly as she tried to block the curse that Harry threw at her. The raven haired princess screwed her eyes shut as the shield absorbed the attack, well most of it. She was staggered back a few inches but managed to put the breaks on in due time.
"Remember to put as much focus as you can into that," Harry told her as he watched her. "There are similar properties to focusing defensive shields as there are with utilizing magical energy, you just got to find a system and work with it."
Diana smiled before she manifested another shield and this time it connected, with the shield deflecting the attacks.
"I want to make sure I can do all of these spells from first through seventh year," Diana commented, after all, if she was going to this school, she wanted to be the very best. Although she had some stiff competition with Harry, Kara, and even Hermione during this seventh year of school, but her competitive spirit made her look forward to the competition.
"You don't really seem to be having any problem with any of them, I've already tested you on them a few times," Harry remarked but he stood in a battle stance and his eyes locked onto one of his alpha wives, who stood across from him before Harry told her. "Hit me with your best shot."
"Really, you want me to hit you with my best shot?" Diana asked as Harry smiled back at her. She enjoyed a challenge and Harry had different ways of challenging her. His expression followed hers, locked on her blue eyes.
"Take it," Harry told her.
Diana took it, trying to get him with a freezing charm but Harry was behind her with super speed and tried to fire a spell at her legs. The Amazon tucked her head and rolled around before she bounced off the walls. She raised her bracelets, one of them with the symbol of Harry's house on it and he fired a blue spell back at her.
The spells ricocheted off of the bracelets and Harry twisted his attention off to one side before he raised up on the balls of his feet, before watching her with fierce intentions.
"And again," Harry told her and Diana smiled.
"If you want to go another round, I'll be sure to take it to you."
Diana rushed Harry but he dodged her attack and went behind her. He gripped around her waist, brushing against her, before he jumped up on the other side of her. The dark haired Amazon smiled and she sent magically created daggers at him.
Harry smiled at the advanced magic and it bounced off of the shield that had been created. He set himself in a position on his feet where he could ease into a battle stance. The two of them continued to surround each other, the battle getting more intense.
Some might have wondered why they spent the last night before Harry, Diana, and Kara went to Hogwarts in an intense sparring session, but for them, this was relaxing.
"Just try….and have a good year, despite the situation," Bill Weasley said in a somber voice. After everything that happened, he decided to take a leave of absence from Gringotts to get certain affairs in order at home. He saved his money from his job with the goblins and he was trying to whittle down his father's pride just enough to let him accept a few galleons here and there for the house to be properly maintained.
"We will," George offered before he placed his hands on his hips and prepared to board the train, followed by Fred and Ginny.
Harry caught sight of Ginny as she made her way onto the train, she looked over her shoulder.
"What happened, Ginny?" Harry asked her and the redhead took a few seconds to regain her shaken composure before she informed him of what was going on.
"Ron's death….well it hit Mum hard," Ginny remarked to Harry. "She was admitted into Saint Mungo's in a state of shock...after what happened."
Harry pulled Ginny in close to him as the redhead managed to keep her attention on him and in his green eyes. This caused her to recover slightly and press on.
"We found out just last night that….her heart had a negative reaction to one of the potions that they tried to use to stabilize her," Ginny told her, practically trying to choke the words out. She was trying to remain strong and bold but it was a hard thing to keep her tone steady.
Ginny remained crisp as she let out her statement.
"She's all gone," Ginny commented to Harry before a slight flicker of a smile crossed her face. Harry watched her. "Ever since the Chamber of Secrets, she's gone downhill….and well Ron was the straw that broke the camel's back. She had such high hopes for Ron."
"He did die a hero," Harry remarked to one of his Collective members and Ginny nodded in a rigid manner.
"Yes, master, he went out the way he would have always wanted, a true and blue Gryffindor, a hero," Ginny offered to him as Harry pulled her into a tight hug. "The funeral…it was nice. We sent him off in style….and I'm sure he's in a better place now."
Harry smiled, he thought that while living, Ron was essentially an oxygen thief but his respect for the redhead young man raised a few notches after the events of the World Cup. He gave his life so two people with actual promise could live.
"I promised…my friend Luna that we'd sit together today, if that's alright with you, master," Ginny told him.
"Go ahead Ginny, I'll see you later," Harry commented as she stood up and kissed her. "And I'm sorry about what happened to your mother."
"Don't be," Ginny offered as she turned around as she barely suppressed the smile.
'Well that was an interesting bit of news to start off the year,' Faora thought to Harry. 'So did you do it?'
'Left one behind at the Castle, he'll be leaving for Cambridge in a couple of days, the dupe can actually do some extra training and it will be downloaded into my mind every night whilst he's there,' Harry thought to Faora.
'Very nice,' Faora told him before she sighed. 'Sorry, something's come up, I've been trying to haggle with this one guy about land and even though the bank is about to rip it from his dying hands, he doesn't want to hand it over.'
''Surely he sees the benefits of handing over the land and leaving with some money, instead of being left with nothing,' Harry thought to her before he placed his hand on the side of his face. 'Sometimes, pride comes before a fall.'
'True,' Faora thought as she said her goodbyes and left through the bond link.
Harry followed Kara and Diana onto the train. Hermione's mother met her at the station and they were catching up. There was still plenty of time before they made their way on the train.
"Harry," Daphne called to him with a greeting. Harry turned towards her slowly with a smile, her normal shoulder length blonde hair was cut into a bob.
"Liking the new look, Daphne," Harry remarked as he pulled her into a hug as she greeted him.
"Well, I figured I'd try something new, I wonder how many people will notice," Daphne offered as she turned around, the bob cut displayed prominently. Of course, after undergoing her second maturation, she was in desperate need of stress relief and she knew who was going to give it to her. A smile crossed over her face at the thought of it.
Hermione followed them as the group prepared to board the train.
"Mum sends her love and she'd like to see you again really soon," Hermione remarked to Harry.
"Subtle," Kara remarked with a grin as they saw Astoria make their way onto the train with them, the group walked together.
"So, we're getting a private compartment and putting the locking charms on this year," Astoria stated and Harry nodded. "Good, because I might do something drastic if that little ferret fouls up the compartment again."
Harry smiled as they were now on the train and he was doing the necessary charms. They would make Malfoy act even foolish than usual if he tried to intervene on their private time.
"Why are you smiling?" Daphne asked Harry.
"Just thinking about the meeting I had with Narcissa during the Triwizard Cup," Harry commented.
Daphne's expression flickered into that of a smile with the significance of that. "So I…heard. You did have a similar….meeting with my mother."
The Greengrass female dropped down to her knees in front of him once she was sure that the compartment they were was secure and what was going to happen inside was private.
"And now I'm going to have a similar meeting," Daphne told him as she parted his robes and started to unbuckle his pants. "Join me, Hermione in pleasing our master."
Hermione's kneels buckled obediently, Daphne appeared to have a slightly stronger will than her, not that she was going to fight what was going to happen at all.
"We missed you Harry, it's time for us to reap the rewards," Daphne commented as she turned to Hermione. "And knowing this one, she's been neglecting her personal needs in favor of studying, but we need to rectify that matter."
