Hogwarts's Make-over and Dating Service

Hermione Granger was in her seventh year, in a somewhat happy relationship with one of her best friends Ron Weasley but she was astonished over the number of singles all through the school and much of it was from the stupid House Rivalry. She had discussed it a lot with Luna through these first three months of the year, Luna had talked about opening a dating service and Hermione had thought it through very hard; it could be fun to have them fill sheets of questions and from there compare and see who matched best then maybe let them talk but not see each other for some time … she believed it would remove all that House nonsense and focus on the important things.

"….Moine!"

"Huh?!" She jumped a little in surprise when Ron shook her gently by the shoulder. "What?"

"I asked what it is you are thinking so hard about, you were totally gone from this plane."

"Nonsense, that's impossible. I'll tell you later, I have to talk with Luna… see you later! Bye!" Ron and Harry stared after her as she ran to the Ravenclaw table and further till she reached Luna, who barely had time to grasp her things before she was pulled along as Hermione kept running out through the doors.

"What do you think is going on with her?" Harry turned to Ron, who was still staring at the doors.

"How should I know, mate?"

"She's your girlfriend! Don't you ever talk?"

"Shut up Harry, we do talk … just not about girl stuff …" Harry snorted, "What?! I don't understand any of it and she knows that, so why bother?"

"You're impossible!" Harry left the table and the still eating Ron; he stopped long enough to activate the Map before moving again. Bemused he walked towards the potion classroom where Hermione and Luna's dot was, on the way all kind of thoughts ran through his head but the all disappeared when he heard Luna's excited voice.

"…would be so much fun! We should totally do that! We make ourselves an alter personality for when we work, we also have to make a few rules which would be that for one; everyone would be asked to show their arms – None Death Eather policy."

"Totally with you, Luna, they show or we won't help them at all, we also need spelled pens so they can't lie or cheat by answering for someone else. I think we should set a price for our discreet handling and anonymity, if we're good then maybe the money should go for a store to buy after school as a job?"

"That would be a fulfilling work… helping others find their true match without that House nonsense..." That made Harry laugh as he opened the door, both girls jumped in surprise before looking at him with a guilty look. "Heey there Harry, you do know that ears dropping is considered rude right?"

"Yeah I know, Luna, but I want to hear more of this idea of yours."

"Why Harry?"

"Maybe I can help you get started, my gold is collecting dust and needs to come out and circulate around the world. So tell me, you want to open a dating and Makeover service there focus on the inside rather than the outside and houses?" They nodded. "I'm totally in, you want another personality for work and for that you need masks and costumes. You need a room and for that you need to talk with Dumbledore, I'm sure he will allow it. Then we need to make the questions, maybe Professor Flitwick can help us charm a book there updates itself from an equally charmed question sheets and from that book another book match the answers and finds those there match best."

"Harry! That's brilliant! Let's go to the Headmaster now, there is no reason to talk more about it if he won't give us a room." Harry and Luna nodded in agreement. "Come on! He should be in his office now…. Wait!" She and Luna ran as fast as they could after Harry, who had been by the door. "Harry! Wait up!"

"Cutting down time…..gonna take time…. With password….!" Hermione and Luna slowed down at that with relief as their lungs was nearly bursting. "….sugar … citron lemon….chocolate…pudding….. For god sake, let us in! It's important!" The gargoyle moved surprisingly and they hurried to dash up the stairs and Luna nearly knocked down the door as she ran into it and Hermione ran into her while Harry stopped in time.

"Yes, come in." Hermione nearly tripped when Luna pushed her backwards to open the door. "Miss LoveGood, Miss Granger and you too Harry. What can I help you with?" Albus placed his fingertips together as he looked at them over his glasses, Hermione pushed to Harry at her side. "Yes my Boy?"

"Well you see, my friends here have the most brilliant idea of starting a discreet dating service which include a Make-over but for that we need permission to use a room regularly to meet with the clients."

"What a wonderful idea, please sit and tell me more..." He summoned three comfy chairs and they sat down, Hermione started talking about it all and Albus never interrupted her as he merely wrote things down. "I must say Miss LoveGood; this could actually be a future job for you at the school. You would still be able to open a shop in Diagon Ally as you will be at the least two, will you only give financially support or will you help Harry?"

"I would like to work with them as it will beat catching dark witches and wizards; I've had it with criminals."

"We understand my boy, how about I find the room there is in the middle of each houses to further dismiss that houses nonsense, I think you should send Dobby to town to pick up catalogs from all kind of shops so you can order at once, these catalogs are charmed so when you cross off a thing it is ordered... remember to use the pen there comes with each catalog as it is that which signature your orders with a trace. The things should arrive within twenty-four hours, now let's go." Albus stood up and they followed him all the way to the fourth floor to a corridor they hadn't really paid any attention to before, Albus said a few words while touching his wand to the door. "There will properly be a little dusty and messy but Dobby can help you there, I've moved the walls around to fit what you need – if you need more room simply say so and fell free to call for my help with any charming of things, the next month I should be free at any time. Goodbye and good luck."

"Bye Headmaster!"

"And thank you!" Hermione and Luna waved while Harry opened the door and came to a small hallway from where doors led off to somewhere. "This will be so cool! Harry, be nice and call Dobby …." Luna walked off together with Hermione.

"Dobby, I need you!" Harry jumped in shock when Dobby popped in and jumped at him. "Dobby, easy! I'm happy to see you too."

"Master Harry, what can Dobby do?!"

"Could you go to every store and collect the charmed catalogs so we can fill this place and we also need your help with cleaning these rooms..."

"Yes Yes Master Harry, Dobby will go to every store Dobby can find!" Before Harry could stop him Dobby had popped out, properly thinking to go to every store in the world.

"Whatever..." Harry walked after the girls; he found them in a circular room full of glass windows showing rooms with a wall through the middle of the room, there were ten of them.

"We'll have the office here so we can watch over them, in case they try to cheat. You think it's possible to get a round table with drawers and cabins?" Hermione seemed to already be planning. "I think we should go Victorian style here … it's calming and mysterious in itself and we need that to make them comfortable."

"I'll do security and what charms we need, including that book, so you two can focus on furniture. I will also order flyers so the news can spread, though I really need to write in it that this is very serious and is to be taken so." Both girls nodded in agreement just when Dobby popped in with less catalogs than Harry would have thought. "Wow, thanks Dobby! You will come with me now so we can get cleaned while the girls order things – girls, we'll do our personally stuff ourselves last, just order the main things for the dating rooms and entrance hall."

"Right, get cleaned and we'll make this place wonderful!" Harry nodded to Luna before walking off with Dobby.

"First of all, we need to remove all dust before we wash everything down. Then we will go through what to charm and what we need Dumbledore's help with, I'm sure you can help me with most of it Dobby."

"Thank you Master Harry for the trust!" Dobby snapped his fingers and suddenly everything was dust free, soon after that sponges appeared and started to wash everything down. "The same is happening in every room. What next?"

"I need every room sound proofed, the wall in the middle needs to be secure from seeing the other side but they shall be able to hear each other and we need a button by every window in the office where the girls are now so that we can choose to hear what is said in that room and another button so we can talk with them if we need to. A shield around each room so no magic can be done inside, also so they can't look into the office but we can look in. Can you do that or do you need Dumbledore to do that?"

"Dobby can do it!" He snapped a few times and the room shined for a second as the magic worked. "Dobby made this room the model so if Dobby change this room then every room changes. Every room have been given a number and this is room number one, anything else Master Harry?"

"Let me see... self-cleaning maybe?" Dobby snapped his fingers. "Can you make it so the rooms are a perfect climate with fresh air every few hours in between clients?" Dobby snapped three times. "What else... can you connect each room with a house elf so they can ask for things?"

"Dobby will have to pop by Headmaster first for permission." Harry nodded and Dobby popped out and after a minute he was back. "Permission given and ten elves are assigned with me assigned to you three."

"Thanks Dobby, could you ask Headmaster to find a shield for the whole apartment against the Dark Mark unless we code them in, we might need to let Snape in at some point. We also need the hallway door into the ten rooms to be locked for everyone else besides us three. We need an alarm there warn us when the bell rings out class as the whole apartment is to be sound proofed for all sound from the hallways and passing people as that would disturb our clients."

"Yes Master Harry! Dobby will ask!" Harry went to join the girls while Dobby popped out, he found them buried in several catalogs.

"We've found all the main things for the meeting rooms; we're now looking for stuff to make it nice. Why don't you look for colors, working from the stuff we ordered?" Harry nodded as he sat down and was handed several paint samples and fabric. "We went dark and mysterious..."

"Right..." Harry first looked at what they had ordered and many times he complimented them. "What do you say to this marine blue for the wall, baby blue blankets, black candle lights, black table cloth and this ring I just saw there will do so they can't lie unless it's about their name … that was for the boy's side of the room … for the girls I was thinking blood red walls, soft baby pink blankets, white candle lights, white table cloth and the same ring?" Harry looked up to see them think it over hard.

"That actually sounds perfect, Harry!" Luna clapped her hands like a child. "We've just finished this room too; here... look for colors here." Harry did as told while the girls did the entrance hall. "Here we go... black walls where we charm them to sparkle like diamonds, I've ordered three blankets of the colors blood red, black, white and one with all four colors from the houses to have hanging on one wall. Every floor will be black, ceilings I thought white with a charm so it won't be so bright but still white."

"You're really good with this Harry, have you ever thought about running a decorating company?" Hermione smiled at Harry, who blushed bright red. "Harry?"

"I have actually, Petunia always had me do the painting as I managed to change the colors every time to something I thought would be nice … the first few times she was furious but after some time she actually made me do it whenever Vernon wasn't home. I ended up with responsibility for always making sure their house had the best of the best, so everyone would be impressed."

"Sad for you … good for us!" Luna crossed the final thing off and Harry showed colors to the hall. "That marine blue would be perfect with black floor and that white charmed ceiling..." Hermione nodded while Harry crossed of how many cans of paint they needed.

"All done, girls." Just then there was a knock before Albus walked in with a smile. "Hello Headmaster, we just finished furniture, stuff and colors. Did you find a shield?"

"Yes I did my boy. It was first invented back in the first war and has proven itself again and again. If you want anyone who do have the Mark then simply place their hand on the outer door and say the password you set while thinking of given the person permission to enter. Shall I get started?" All three nodded and Albus walked off. "See you later, the smaller things and colors should arrive any moment – I've had your house elves assigned to either pick up together with the bill or pick it up from the drop point."

"Thanks Headmaster!" A few minutes later Dobby appeared with a few other elves. "Heey Dobby, the marine blue is for the left side of the room and the blood red on the right side. The black carpet in every room with the white on the ceiling but please charm it so it won't blind everyone. This room is to have black walls charmed to glitter sparkle like diamonds with the same floor and ceiling like the other rooms." Elves popped out and did as told while new showed up with blankets, small coffee and candle tables that they sent to the right rooms.

"Why don't we start on the questions? Dobby, could you get us a book on questions for our cause here? Need to be for couples courting."

"Yes master Harry!"

"I have paper here, Harry do you still have your pencil in your bag?" Harry pulled out his pencils of led from the muggle world. "Thanks. Question sheet..." She wrote that at the top just as Dobby came back with four books.

"This is a book used in old days when Purebloods families wished to marry of their kids with a match of personality and these are casual question like favorite things. Anything else?"

"Not at the moment Dobby. Thanks." Dobby popped out to help the rest while they worked through the books; they ended up with some fifty-ish pages. "Now we should go and get help with the books... come." Both girls followed Harry down the halls to the charm classroom where the office was too. "Professor? Do you have a moment?"

"Sure Children, come on in. Albus have just informed us of your new service, I believe you need help with some books, right? I've already found the perfect spell; we simply need to design the two books and scrolls."

"For the one with the answers and profile of each person I was thinking a simple black volume and the other a white one – we're using a Yin-Yang theme. The spelled scrolls I thought would be the easiest if they are one single long scroll there is absorbed into the black book. Could you also help with a way to make/take an instant picture for the white book so each profile has one?"

"I can charm the scrolls to scan them and that will be absorbed together with the questions into the black book... hold on now..." He got to work and soon a black book appeared on the table and it grew in thickness, soon after a white book also appeared there then began to shine a blue light which the black did too soon after. "Phew... that was the books …. now the scrolls, who will stand for the book and the scrolls`"

"Well I think that Luna will stand for the financially while Harry will stand for the scrolls and contact with clients and I will stand for handling the books and setting people up. Why?"

"I will need to code your magic into the objects so only you can open them or make them work, simply place your hand on the book Miss Granger and you Mister Potter place yours on the scrolls and push your magic down along your arm and into the objects while thinking 'Bind'. Try it." The Professor turned to Luna with a smile. "I have an idea for you my dear; you will need a book for income and such. When you have opened account in Gringotts come to me with the account number then I will charm you a book there updates itself when someone pays or if you use some money. I only need the number and your magic and it would be easier if you are coded into the account."

"Then she will be; we trust her." Harry smiled at her and that made her laugh in delight as she gave him a tight hug.

"You three better head down for dinner, take these... there you go... and be careful with them. Miss LoveGood, I'll be seeing you soon. Bye."

"Thanks a lot professor!" They hurried down to dinner, totally forgetting about Ron, who was still grumpy about that morning and them being gone all day. "Grow up Ron; surely you can survive without us for one day?"

"Yeah but a little warning would have been nice, my Fiancé is gone all day and no one have seen either her nor Luna or my best friend. What do you want me to think!" Ron crossed his arms which made Hermione smile lovingly at him.

"I'm sorry, Love …. It weren't planned and we'll tell you later as well as show you. So eat, my love..." She gave him a brief kiss before turning back to her plate as they had missed lunch, so they were very hungry.

"You better do that." Ron too turned to his plate and was soon enough shoveling food into his mouth, Hermione and Harry shook their heads at him.

It took some time for Ron's bottomless stomach to be full but it finally was and they dragged him away before he wanted more pudding. He complained the whole way to their new apartment but when he saw the door open he shut up, their entrance now had candle holders hanging on the walls with black candles and the walls was sparkling like millions diamonds and the carpet was very soft.

"What is this? Where are we?"

"This is our entrance hall, come." Hermione pulled him with her to their office which only needed their desk and chairs as well as the cabins. "This is our office with view to the ten rooms where couples will soon be sitting and talking together." When Ron seemed totally clueless they all sat down and Hermione told her slow Fiancé about their new project, how the headmaster and professor Flitwick helping them as well as their individual jobs, Ron seemed less confused and more angry by the minute.

"Why aren't I included in this?"

"We didn't think you would be interested at all... this is girl stuff, Love...?" Hermione observed her Fiancé's face for any signs. "If you really want to then you can help Luna with the financially stuff..?" That made Ron look up at her and after a quick glance at Luna, he slowly nodded. "Alright then, why don't you and Luna work out how much our service should cost as well as rules? I and Harry will go through each room to see what needs to be done." Ron nodded and Luna moved closer to Ron with scrolls to write on, as they were ready to write things down Luna surprised Ron with casually leaning into Ron's chest as she had placed herself between his legs. At first Ron froze up but when Luna merely began writing diagrams onto her scrolls like nothing was wrong he slowly started relaxing, he thought for a moment what he had gotten himself into.

Hermione and Harry was explained how the wards worked by Dobby in details, Hermione listened closely while Harry was thinking about their new personalities and what they needed of clothes.

"Dobby could you get the same kind of catalogs from a Goth store? Also some normal ones from the muggle world with bags, hats, shoes, jewels and so on?" Dobby answered by popping out so they walked back to Luna and Ron, who was still sitting with Luna resting in his arms but Hermione didn't bat an eyelash as if it was perfectly normal and that made Ron relax fully

"We think that for our different courses to find them a perfect match, three gallons will do for now. Further one gallon per meeting in the rooms and we think at least four meetings in the blind and after that two meetings in here where we remove the wall for the night, we need to set a time for the meetings, I was thinking four hours and for any extra hour is half price extra. We can easily do our homework here so we just need to find out who will be here during the day, Luna talked about a work personality with new names and such so we also need that."

"Dobby is out in Goth stores getting catalogs for us, we really just need some names …. and no one utter the name Raven if they want to live!" Everyone smiled at him indulgingly, the girls in a 'you don't know it yet but it will be as I say' sisterly way while Ron gave him the 'I'm glad it's you and not me, mate' smirk way. "No. absolutely not. Not a chance. Over my dead body. Never in a million years." Hermione and Luna shared a wink with each other and Ron just sat there, watching Harry dig his grave deeper and deeper.

"I was thinking of calling myself Mistress of the Moon or for short Mistress Moon..." Hermione nodded with a smile while Ron and Harry thought it over. "I think it suits me..."

"I agree Loon, how about you Hermione? What name do you want?"

"I was thinking along the lines of names from the Holy Bible..."

"The what?" Ron turned very confused to her; Luna seemed to not care while Harry thought it over.

"It's a Muggle thing, Love..." Hermione studied Harry thinking and she could see that he did not like the idea.

"I don't think it would be appropriate, Hermy... Bible names involved with a dating service? The catholic church would hunt you if they ever found out..."

"No … I suppose you're right. Some of our clients might be muggleborns... how about from the Greek Gods then? Aphrodite is the god of Love... I think I will take the name Hera, it stand for Goddess of Marriage, Women, childbirth, heirs, kings and empires. Her sacred animal is the mountain lion which is very fitting."

"I think it is perfect for you Hermy, Mistress Hera sounds very good."

"You would actually fit for the name Uranus; it stands for God of the Heavens... though Phoebe would suit you too..."

"That's a girl's name!" Ron glared in outrage at Hermione who merely raised her eyebrow, making Ron cross his arms while Harry thought it over.

"How could I go under the name of a girl?"

"Now you're asking a dumb question, Harry. We simply turn you into a girl!" Harry and Ron stared confused at Luna, who seemed to burst at the prospect. "Ron could be either Themis of divine Law and Order or Metis of Good counsel, advise, planning, cunning and wisdom!"

"Oh! Loon, I have the perfect name for you! Selene, Titan of the Moon!" Luna nodded in approval at that. "I think we should go with; Hera for myself, Phoebe for Harry, Metis for Ron and Selene for Loon!" Hermione stared Harry down, begging him to argue with her and when he nodded in submission; she turned to Ron who also was quick to nod in agreement while Luna simply nodded casually as her mind was somewhere else. "So be it! Now we just need the flyers, the rest of the furniture and new clothes … then we're good!" Luna gave a thumb up while staring at the sparkling wall. "Yes! Right now we better head off to bed, hey Loon? Do you wanna have a sleep over? I can always enlarge the bed..."

"I would love to, Hera." Everyone giggled at that as they moved to the door. "What about the password?"

"Well Selene, we'll set it when we walk out. What should we make it?" Hermione looked at them as they all thought it over, Ron turned to Hermione with a guarded look. "Yes Love?"

"How about Love in Latin?"

"That would be Amo or Amore..."

"How do you know these things?!" Ron turned to his Fiancé with a confused look, Hermione merely glared at him.

"I read Ron; I think it should be Amore then as it means To Love, like, be fond of or fall in Love." The three of them nodded in agreement and Hermione walked to the portrait of their room. "Hello, we four would like for our password to be Amore while everyone else's is Amo, can you do that?"

"Yes of course my Masters and Mistress's, good luck with your quest." The four bowed as they walked out. "Goodbye, hope to see you soon." Luna waved before Hermione pulled her along.

"Bye!" Luna still waved as Hermione pulled her along, Ron shared a look with Harry before they both shook their heads. Finally they arrived at the common room where the girls went off to their dorms while Ron pulled Harry with him to the slightly cold dorm, where they both changed to a night shirt.

"Hey Mate.. Could we share the bed tonight...?" Harry studied Ron, who seemed to struggle with himself – Harry knew it was nothing sexual but simply friendship and sharing body heat as well as security.

"Sure Ron... move over..." Harry ended up spooning Ron with his arm around his friend; they laid there simply enjoying the closeness and warmth. "We should do this every day Ron... it's really nice..."

"Totally agree Mate... but wouldn't the others give us too much of a trouble about it?"

"Don't care... night Ron..." Ron smiled and joined his hand with the one Harry had around him, Ron relaxed in Harry's strong arms of pure security and love and finally he breathed out, feeling loved and safe. "Love you..." Ron smiled in delight at the sleepy words and the tighter hug.

"Love you too Mate..."

BREAK

The next morning Harry and Ron flew out of the bed in a heap of fabrics, Ron tripped over his feet's while Harry sorted through his clothes and in the end they had to share a bath as the dorm – funny enough – only had four shower stalls so everyone couldn't take a bath at the same time which didn't happen to be a problem in most days but this morning everyone woke at once, it led to Dean and Seamus and Harry and Ron sharing a stall – not that it was a problem for Seamus and Dean as they were together on year five but Harry and Ron was a tiny shy though not enough to not glance at each other when they thought the other wasn't looking.

"Hey Mate..?"

"Yes Ron? What is it?"

"Do you think Hermione really loves me?"

"I have no doubt … she loves you. Why do you ask?" Ron gave a sheepish smile while rubbing his neck.

"Well... I think I got a little jealous of Luna … that's why I asked you... I'm sorry, mate."

"Ron, I don't mind. Really. If you need a body besides you, then so be it. It helps me just as much as it helps you. I really don't mind, I'm just sad it has to end by the end of school..." Ron stared at him in a considering way. "What?"

"Maybe Phoebe will suit you just fine... on some points in life you really are like some girls... a little longer hair, some make-up and clothes in another cut and you could easily go for a girl..."

"Thank you, Ron. It's just what every man wants to hear before their life is complete…"

"Come on Mate, it's not that bad. Personally I think you will look great as a girl … you have that feminine vibe over yo… Auv! What was that for?!" Ron glared at his friend, who was staring death, as he rubbed the back of his head where Harry had smacked him.

"No guy ever wants to hear he has The Vibe!" Ron jumped a step away from his friend, who was breathing hard with his arms down his sides and shoulder tensed up.

"Hey Mate … easy okay? What's wrong..?" Ron stepped forward and at once Harry backed as far away as he could while an unfocused look entered his eyes – a reoccurring thing there pissed Ron off on so many levels it should be illegal. "Heey! Don't you dare pull that shit on me again! Why won't you let us in?! WHY?!" Ron didn't see the awareness enter Harry's eyes as he stared at Ron's kneeling form, leaning forward over his knees in near physics pain and despair. "Why Harry? What is it we do wrong … why aren't we good enough..? You seem closer with the Twins … what is it they have that we don't….?!"

"Ron...!" Ron froze at the hiss of his name, he barely had time to brace himself before Harry tackled him and for a moment he was confused as he tried to understand the feeling of warmth, secureness, love and it was bliss when he had expected to be strangled ... It felt so right and he lost himself to his body's sensations, so much that he forgot everything about arguing and angry friends until Harry began talking in a deadly calm and yet furious voice there was more hissing than English. "Don't you dare say any of that ever again! There is nothing wrong with any of you, do you understand? Nothing! You are everything a friend represents in this war; never again say something like that…"

"Harry…?"

"No! I can't tell! I can't!" Ron thought hard what to do there would make his friend snap out of this…whatever it was… Harry moved them so Ron ended up on his back on the thick carpet Harry kept by his bed, Harry leaned over him and tears dripped onto his cheeks as they poured down Harry's jaw as he made eye contact with Ron, who gasped in shock as red eyes connected with his own blue ones. "Please….. don't scream…" Ron kept staring with big eyes as his body tensed, Harry jumped back to rest his weight on his legs as if burned while Ron tensed even more. "Ron… please! I would never hurt you!" Harry moved his legs so he could lean on Ron's chest as Harry grasped his shirt in a tight grip. "Please!"

"Harry….could you stop moving?!" Harry reacted by moving super-fast up so the whole of his weight rested on Ron's lap which he had forgotten he was sitting on, Harry froze when Ron growled like a caged lion but also from a certain hardness pressing very lightly into his backside.

"What's happening…" Harry glanced around as if the room could give him the answer. "Ron…What's wrong?"

"Don't….worry….I'm…fine….really." Harry moved a little to better see Ron but it made Ron groan and that made Harry move more to help Ron who Harry thought was in pain. "Harry! Stop being so closed off from your feelings and analyze this situation! You can't be that naïve!" Ron grasped Harry's thighs as he pressed himself firmer into Harry's backside, who froze up looking uncertain.

"Ron, what is this? Why is this happening now?" Harry's eyes were guarded as he looked at Ron, who gave a tense smile as he lifted one arm and raised his hand up to Harry's cheek with his thumb resting gently at his lip.

"There is something you don't know about my family and me…. You see, a long time ago my family made a contract of magic. We were to be bound to Them in body and soul, the plan were to create a sexually attraction to Them, so they would always have willing partners. As time went the magic have been passed on and of course it so happen to be that my best friend is like Them. A vampire." Ron quickly moved his thumb so the lip was moved back to show pearly white fangs "How long?" Ron stared Harry down in a good imitation of Hermione's 'You better tell me or there is trouble!'

"Always….. I was six…."

"But how?! I should have sensed you, how did you hide this long?"

"It was fate… maybe she hid it. A vampire came to me in the garden, said I had to trust him or I could die…. Then he just bid me and said he would be back to train me. He left me with a book on the basis stuff, it weren't before I turned ten that he came back and helped me for a year. He should show up this year…" Harry again forgot where it was he sat; he leaned back lost in thoughts of happy memories. He didn't hear Ron moan but he did feel Ron tense shortly before he was flipped over onto his back with Ron leaning his weight on his arms on each side of Harry's head as he breathed hard. "Ron? What's going on?"

"My body is responding to your vampire scent…. It's mind blowing that you have been able to hide it this long." Ron moved all the weight to his left arm as he used the other to trace a finger down Harry's surprised face and neck, further down Harry's chest before the hand stopped at Harry's navel to rest gently. "I actually have the gene but it's dormant until I mate with a vampire – if I ever do… that's why you should properly draw your fangs back and run far away. Don't get near me before tomorrow; I need to do something to prevent me from sensing you as I now know your scent."

"Why? Why is that dangerous? Alex never said anything about this; I don't understand what you're saying..." Harry felt how Ron moved inch for inch to prepare to hold him down for real but it didn't frighten him as it properly should have – he simply didn't understand and it must have shown on his face as Ron paused. "Please tell me, Ron, I need to know. If it is this dangerous why haven't Alex said anything?"

"Vampire's don't turn humans until after they turn seventeen, at the same time they are told everything. Alex properly had a good reason for turning you when he did as well as not telling you, it's hard for a seventeen so it would be harder for you at such a young age. He's coming this year to tell you about this…"

"And what is this?"

"Well you see… vampires are a very sexual creature and the contract was the solution as they grew once more in numbers, there are other families like mine. We earn our living – our real living. How else do you think I and the rest get any food or stuff? Dad has the lowest job in the ministry for a reason; every vampire can call him at certain times during the day and then he have to go or he break the contract… I'm only on call in the holidays but only since two years ago when I myself wanted it, some kids are on call from they are in their early teens."

"Wait… hold on." Harry grasped Ron's collar and got a desperate look in his eyes. "You mean… that you're not a virgin?!"

"Seriously Mate? That is what your brain registered of all I said? How blunt do I have to be for you to understand me?"

"Very blunt… Alex used to say I was too naïve for my own good."

"Think hard Harry." Harry did but kept coming up blank, Ron growled at the totally cute innocent expression on Harry's face and to make his point he pressed into the temping virgin vampire under him. Harry gasped in shock at the jolt there went through him, it made him lift up towards Ron who moaned. "Harry, you seriously need to run…"

"Don't…. want….to….!" Harry tensed off the floor when Ron growled in warning.

"You need to! Don't you see; if we do this there is a big chance of me getting turned. If we mate you will properly bite me and not everyone can control their venom, do you understand?" Harry stopped to stare at Ron in surprise.

"You're talking about sex… hold on… you're nervous because of my venom? There is no reason for that, I milk them twice a day – Alex told me it was the safest so I wouldn't turn everyone I drink from. The twins have helped me a lot; we bumped into each other in the forest…. How come they haven't responded or told me anything?"

"They drink a potion there block our power to sense you… but seriously Mate, we need to think very hard about this."

"Do me one favor…please?" Ron nodded. "Kiss me…?" Harry looked at Ron pleadingly with his red eyes, Ron smiled indulgingly before slowly leaning closer to Harry and he stopped when he was a breath away from the tempting lips there showed just the tip of his fangs. "Please…" Ron gave a gentle chase kiss as he laced their fingers together, Harry arched up towards Ron but he moved away so Harry couldn't reach. "Roon…!" That did it for Ron; hearing his name being dragged out in such a wanting way, he placed his lips on Harry's with the outmost care there melted Harry's heart. Ron kept it slow as he knew it was Harry's first real kiss, he himself thought it was perfect bliss; every cell in his body was singing, the first few months of school was always hard as he no longer got the release he was used to and Hermione's kisses barely did it for him even if he tried really heard. Ron tensed with a moan when slightly cold fingers began tracing patterns on his back and lower stomach, Harry groaned at the jolts spreading from his fingertips out through his body.

"Harry … hiss for me …" Harry moaned as he held on to Ron's hips. "Hiss for me…" Ron moved away to look into Harry's changed eyes, they were now cat like and sparkling green there in the moment was filled with lust and half closed.

You feel ssso good … you make me feel ssso good… Harry hissed lowly and right into Ron's ear sealing it with a kiss and a lick. If you hadn't been my bessst friend … I would have done unssspeakable thingsss to you… Ron was by this time rutting against Harry as much as Harry was against him, Harry was delirious by this time as he only felt the pleasure.

"God Harry! That is soo hot … I have no idea what you said…" Harry pulled Ron closer and pressed a gentle kiss to his throat before gracing his arching fangs along the taunt neck. "Oh god Harry… please! Do it… please bite me!" Harry hummed approvingly as he licked the salty soft flesh of Ron's neck, Ron had stopped rutting as his whole body was tense as he waited for the utter bliss everyone spoke of when bitten by a vampire during sex and it wasn't long before Harry's fangs pierced through Ron's flesh like it was butter and Ron began rutting for real now completely delirious as Harry chose to keep his fangs buried in him when it was normal to remove them so they wouldn't tear the neck if the person moved but Harry made sure to hold Ron's shoulders as Ron kept rutting and Harry's vampire side sang in bliss from tasting one of his kind's concubines and from the taste Harry just knew that Ron was high stuff – which meant that the contract had been carried through generations with minimum members refusing to do what the contract said.

"Ron… how do I know that you're a High Class Concubine?" Ron slowed down until he stopped completely as he thought it over.

"I think Alex transferred some of his memories on things he suspected you might run into while he was away… it would be the only logical explanation I can think of."

"I guess…"

"Let's stop; it's a lot to take in for both of us… come on." Ron stood up before helping Harry. "Good thing it's Sunday."

"Yeah but I think Hermione is getting pissed that we haven't been down yet…" That had Ron lose all color in his face. "How do we explain this to her? Is there even something to explain… I'm so confused…"

"Harry… she will understand and there don't have to be anything between us if you don't want to. I can always take the potion…"

"Would you be able to control yourself if you didn't take it?"

"Properly for a small period but it would be hard. It's like having a small fire burning in your cells which is slowly building up to a painful hotness, only your cold fingers can help me. Why do you ask?"

"I just thought maybe you should wait… you know, with the potion…" Harry suddenly refused to look at Ron, who smirked. "How many days?"

"Everything between three to five days, it depends on the vampire who bit you."

"General Alex of the Elite Squad in charge with the Queen's safety as well as the Coven…"

"What?!" Ron tripped backwards and ended up on the bed. "The Alex?!"

"Only know that bit. He never told much about himself; mostly he answered my questions…" Harry sat down besides Ron's outstretched form. "I miss him…it was scary the first year without him on top of coming here. Not having him there to answer me when I was confused, it helped I was friends with you guys so quickly."

"I really think we should explain the situation to her and Luna, maybe they can help us decide what to do?" Harry bowed his head in sadness. "They won't hate you, Mate. How about I go get them? You just sit here and I'll explain … okey?" Harry nodded slowly and Ron stood up and walked to the door with Harry's eyes following him.

"Thanks Ron, I really mean what I said; you are the best friend one can get." Ron blushed as he ran out the door and down the stairs, he stopped in the common room to look around but when he didn't find them he turned to the other staircase, he grasped the nearest girl and all but forced her onto the stairs and telling her to go up and get 'Granger' and 'Loon' down. He heard them a few seconds later, they were complaining about sleep stealing fiancé and friend. "Come on, Ladies! No time to waste!" They both glared at him as they moved past him and up the stairs to Harry before Ron followed them slowly – that double glare freaking him out.

"What is this about, Ron? It's too early for crises…"

"Suck it up, girls. We have a big crisis on our hands. Get in …" Ron pushed them inside before locking the door with everything he knew. "Harry … we're here …" Ron sat down besides Harry while the girls took the bed across. "Well girls, Harry have been keeping a secret from everyone but so have I. we've just discovered that it is the same thing, you see my family signed a Contract of Magic."

"What race are you bound to?" Ron smiled at Luna while Hermione tried to remember where she had heard of it. "My family was once bound to the Elves….."

"We're bound to the largest Coven, the Queen's own court."

"Wow Ron, you're high stuff. Would never have guessed that you are a concubine … how is it?" Luna eagerly stared at him as she waited; Hermione was observing them as she put the pieces together.

"Am I fiancé to a vampire concubine…?" Ron nodded and Hermione just struggled her shoulders as she turned to Harry, who still sat with his head bowed. "Harry, are you too a concubine then?"

"It's a little worse than that, Hermy … Harry is actually a vampire, he was bitten by General Alex who serves the Queen." Hermione moved to stand in front of Harry, who flinched away when she touched him. "Harry, come on … look at her, look and see she doesn't hate you." Hermione managed to lift Harry's head to face her but his eyes were closed. "Let her see you, mate. She's your friend …" Hermione stared fascinated as Harry's fangs dropped down to show the tip, she ran her finger along its length down to the tip and Harry chose that moment to open his red cat eyes and he had to steady her as she jumped in surprise but she recovered fast.

"Now I know how to change you to a girl, we simply tell you are a vampire girl then no one will recognize you with longer hair." Harry gave a brilliant smile at her acceptance of the thing he had feared such to ever tell them.

"Sound good … thanks Hera." Hermione blushed slightly when he gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek. "Will you two let me mark you? It's something I've wanted to do for years; it will let me find you anywhere. No spell or potion can block me from sensing you." All three nodded and Hermione turned her head to the side to bare her neck for Harry, he gave a lick to slightly numb her skin before sinking his fangs in while placing a hand over her heart which began to glow a bright white.

"That tickles Harry …" That was Harry's cue to release a small amount of his venom, not enough at all to change her but it would leave his scent as his Mark on them. "That stings … ouch!" Harry then removed his fangs to make a slow lick over the wound to close them. He moved on to Luna who barely made a sound but sat calmly till he was done, Ron was grateful that the girls were a little dazzled still as he got hard from the bite but it didn't take long before Hermione turned to Ron. "What was the crisis? It can't be just this..?"

"Well you see, the magic involved in the Contract makes me sense vampires and when I'm close to them, my body response. It was for the vampires to make sure that they always could find a willing body." Ron glared when Hermione was about to protest with a lifted finger. "No Hermione, it is not some kind of force or rape; we are given a choice when we enter school and again when we graduate. In this timeframe we're on call only in the summers but some families like mine demands we're virgins until we ourselves want to, I did everything else than penetration until the summer after fourth year."

"What about Ginny?"

"Not that I make a habit of checking my sister or brothers virgin status but I do know that Ginny is the one of all of us there allowed penetration from the start. I think she lost it the summer after her first year I don't know about Billy, Charlie or Percy's age for when they lost it but the Twins were seduced early by Jean-Paul and since then they have been with nobody else." Hermione seemed truly shocked that her younger friend wasn't a virgin like herself; Luna didn't seem to think it was strange and when Hermione saw that she nearly shouted.

"You aren't a virgin either, are you?!" Luna shook her head. "Since when?"

"I got drunk at the Party after the whole Stone thing in my first year, as did everyone else in Ravenclaw and one from fifth year seduced me into his bed … a rather pleasant memory from my first year …" By now everyone was beef red in their faces, the boys from embarrassment and Hermione from anger at herself. "Hermione, I think you have every right to be proud for holding out this long ..." That made her look up at Luna who had crooked her head sideway to smirk at her, glancing at the boys she saw that they both were nodding.

"Most men still prefer for their wife to be virgin but it's not really a deciding factor…"

"I'm ashamed to have cared more for books than myself and friends; I ignored it because all that hormones chaos frightened me so I buried myself in books as a shield. I've always been jealous at those who have lost theirs, more so if they are younger as I can't understand they have more courage than me…what kind of Gryffindor am I?"

"Love, it has nothing to do with courage but everything about being ready. If Lune hadn't been really ready in such a young age then she wouldn't have done it, right Luna?" Luna glanced at Ron before nodding. "See?"

"But I don't want to be virgin anymore but everyone has put me in the box of barely tolerated know-it-all, they all properly think I will hold lectures during it…." After some time where Ron didn't say anything and seemed to be waiting himself for something, Hermione was glared hard at him. "Don't you have something to say?" Ron made a 'well I don't know' gesture which made her glare even more while Harry and Luna laughed.

"I think you were supposed to say something along of 'I have never thought about you doing that, Love' then maybe a quick line of 'You wouldn't be able to' and a wink and you wouldn't have an angry Hermione glaring at you …" Ron had paled more and more at Harry's words with glances at a pissed off fiancé.

"Love … really, I've never thought that!" Hermione huffed as she turned away from him but before she could do more Dobby appeared.

"Masters and Mistresses, I have updates for you." Everyone turned to him and listened. "First is Mistress Luna and Master Ron to go to the Headmaster to follow him to the bank, he said to hurry." Luna took Ron's hand and dragged him off. "Every charm is in place, the last furniture has arrived and been placed around. We've left personal belongings to you and Master Harry's flyers are ready to be circulated around."

"Thank you Dobby, you can start giving them out and laying them everywhere." Dobby bowed.

"Headmaster have furthermore made more rooms so you can live there, each room is bare at the moment as is the connected bathrooms. You are still to eat a few times a week breakfast in the great hall but he says to attend dinner every day at where the Service will be closed."

"Fair enough. Come on Hera, we better get settled and then we can browse for things to our side of the rooms." Hermione eagerly nodded and followed Harry out but before they could reach the door, Dobby had grasped their robes and in a blink of the eyes they were before the door to their new rooms and work place. "Thanks Dobby! That was fast."

"Dobby has to go and help in the kitchen. Have a nice day." Harry and Hermione walked inside and at once saw the new doors in the hall, they left them for now and continued to their office where their table – round as Hermione wanted – chairs and blankets were on their place while a box was on each chair.

"There is names on the boxes, yours is this one. Here is mine…" It didn't take them long to unpack their box to their likening, Hermione pulled out the catalogs and handed colors to Harry while she looked at beds.

"I think I will keep the whole Victorian thing … would fit well with my Girly-vampire-me…"

"I think it would be great, maybe a coffin too…" Hermione giggled at Harry's glare. "Come on Harry… my aunt never slept in anything else, it was one she found at my age. A very beautiful handmade and I even think it was antique; she was buried in it too. I think I want to try one… I might have to have one costumed made as a double coffin though Ron won't be sleeping in it I might invite another as I'm sure Ron will too in near future … or what do you think, Harry?"

"Don't know what you're talking about, Ron is with you so why should he invite anyone else …." Harry buried his head in the catalog and seemed to be very concentrated on what his was reading never mind that it was upside down. "You are talking no sense…."

"Oh really? So Ron will be able to withstand your Vibe? Like when you bit him in the dorm…? That went really well, yes?" Harry blushed more and the catalog was pulled closer. "Harry, it's alright … I won't mind, at least with you I'll know what it is I can't give him …." She kept looking at her catalog as if she was talking about the weather and not about her fiancé cheating with their best friend. "On the other side, I've heard that a threesome should be fun….." Harry dropped his catalog in surprise and stared at her like she had two heads, Hermione laughed at him as she kept crossing off things she wanted. "Maybe I ought to lose my virginity with a bang, might as well go out with style…."

"Girls are weird…" Harry shook his head before turning back to his catalog, he crossed off the last color and Hermione was also done so they switched their stack. "But maybe I should try a coffin; I can always buy a bed…" Hermione nodded as she quickly found the colors she wanted as she remembered mostly where they were, Harry too was fast to locate what he wanted as he had noticed it yesterday. "You just sign at the last page … oh how lovely! Mine says the colors can be picked up at once."

"Mine says in three hours or five if we want them delivered."

"Cross off for picking them up, we need it as fast as possible." Harry nodded and did just that, Hermione took a catalog for knick knacks and started to cross off. "I think the four of us should do the question sheet too to see if there is one who would match better, god knows Ron and I don't … I'm surprised we don't argue more…. Maybe it's because we knew each other for so long."

"Yeah maybe we should …" They kept going, Hermione sent Dobby off to get the paint and do their part of the rooms while Harry did the knick knacks. After some time Luna and Ron showed up with leather bound in sky blue, they hurried to go through every catalog and cross off.

"Now we only need clothes but right now we better head off to dinner …come on." Everyone followed Luna downstairs, Luna was pulled with them to the Lion's table which hadn't happened in a very long time and everyone began talking until Dumbledore stood up.

"I would like to praise Mr. Weasley to take initiative to invite a friend to their table; I think it's been nearly a hundred years as everyone started to believe it was wrong and a unspoken rule which is not so. Everyone who wants to may move to other tables … there you go." The snakes didn't move – unsurprisingly – but everyone else ran around and it took nearly five minutes before everyone was sitting again in a mix of three houses. "Now that wasn't so hard. Furthermore I would like to tell you all of a new Service which will open within the next two days, four siblings have joined forces with support and help from teachers and they've decided to open a new Service. It is a thought through Service and is to be taken very seriously, there is already handed out flyers and can be found around the castle. In there you will find all the info you'll need, have a nice evening and a peaceful sleep." He sat down again as everyone started to express their excitement of the new Service, Harry and the rest thought it was brilliant that the headmaster hadn't told what kind of Service it was and everyone kept asking them what they thought and they could only laugh at the person there then looked as if they thought the four of them was crazy.

"We better head off; we should have Dumbledore charm our beds in the dorms so people won't connect us missing to the four siblings. We still have the rest in the rooms, our knick knacks should be here now … come on." When they reached the rooms Harry sent off Dobby with the request to Dumbledore while they unpacked clothes and small knick knacks. Harry had to expand his closet as he had double clothes, a whole wardrobe for both a boy and a girl. Ron blushed more and more for each pierce of clothes he pulled out and placed on the shelves, Harry nearly talked to him until he remembered that it was best to leave him alone in these situations as Ron still had issues about money-stuff.

"I'm saving the price tags so I can pay you back…"

"Seriously Ron, don't sweat it. If it will make you feel better I will only buy you a small bag of candy for Christmas and birthdays for the next five years…" Harry glanced and saw Ron slowly nod. "There, problem solved." That made Ron smile while he unpacked the rest.

"Heey Mate, have you talked with Hermione? She's been giving me these looks …"

"Yeah about that … she said she was alright if you couldn't control yourself and that she's heard that a threesome should supposedly be fun … she was really weird, what the hell is a threesome and what does she mean with going out with style?!" Harry turned to Ron, who had fallen to the floor in coughing and beef red in his face. "What?!"

"Hard to explain Mate, it's like when a man in battle says that if they are to die they wanna die with honor and after having done the best they can. Basically she told you that if she is to lose her virginity she might as well jump right into it … or something like that."

"Do you think she was hinting? Maybe she do want you to take it but with me in the room but don't ask me what I'm meant to do … girls are weird."

"Mate, a threesome is when three people have sex …" Harry's mouth formed a 'O' in understanding before he again looked confused. "Don't think so hard, Mate. You'll see in time when you discover more about the sexual side of living." Harry struggled his shoulders as he joined Ron in the bed, Ron spooned him with a small moan. "Move as little as possible … please…"

"Sorry … hey Ron, why did it feel wrong when you were on top of me just as it feels wrong right now with you holding me?"

"Oh that, forgot about it … most of my clients is submissive. You, Mate, are a Dom and you can only have sex with a Sub. See …" Ron rolled around so that his back was to Harry. "… spoon me, like yesterday." Harry did and at once the feeling of wrongness was replaced with the feeling of rightness, Ron moaned when Harry moved a little to lay comfortable and by that pressed his crotch into Ron's backside. "Don't … move…" Harry froze up at that, Ron tensed more and five minutes passed and both were still tensed up with no sleep ahead. Harry finally moved his arm, trailing his fingers down Ron's chest and stomach where he paused and that made Ron groan with an impatient movement of his hips there pressed back into Harry's growing hardness. "Fuck Harry!" Ron sat up on his knees before pulling Harry with him; Harry gasped when Ron turned around and started to kiss him with more passion than their last kiss, it left Harry breathless even more when Ron began to remove his shirt. Button for fucking button, fingers trailing over his bare chest … lower and lower before going back to push the shirt off his shoulder, then they went back to his lower stomach.

"Ron … what are …. You doing…?"

"I have to touch you …" Harry only moaned when Ron began to kiss, lick and bite his way all over Harry's chest while his hands worked on Harry's boxers. "Sit back …" Harry did, leaning up against the headboard; Ron crawled closer while taking in Harry's bare body of a god. "Just relax …" Harry nodded and Ron went back to lick along Harry's abs and further down to his hip to finally lick along the vain of Harry's hardness, Harry nearly came then but he managed to control himself as Ron took the head inside his mouth and started sucking.

"Oh God! Ron! I'm dying here!" Ron just hummed as he took Harry deeper in, waiting for Harry's vampire side to take over as he would have to really focus on breathing when that happened. At that moment he felt Harry grasp his hair in a firm and steady grip as Harry's hips began moving, Ron moaned around the hardness in his mouth. Fuck yesss! Ron felt it throb and knew Harry was close, it also showed in the way Harry had slowed down and instead made deep slow moves there nearly had Ron gag not that Harry seemed to notice, Harry picked up the pace but still with his deep moves there now had Ron gag but Harry just rubbed his thumb along Ron's jaw while holding him steady as he slowed down and made a few very slow moves – going deeper and deeper for each time. Ron was now moaning but the next forward move made him grasp Harry's hips hard but after a few tries of pushing Harry back without success Ron focused on getting air between Harry's deep penetrations which was a little hard as Harry kept trying to bury himself deeper down Ron's throat, Ron swallowed as well as he could around Harry and he happened to do it while Harry was buried the deepest he could. "Oh yesss! Should do this all the time!" Ron groaned at the thought which made Harry push all the way in while holding the back of Ron's head, making sure Ron stayed he began to make shallow jerks of his hips and it wasn't always he remembered to pull back so Ron could breathe, Ron was getting lightheaded and groaned again and swallowed around the hardness but that only made Harry press himself as deep as he could which happened to be on the same time that Ron had tried to take a deep breathe which made Harry enter deeper than ever before so he felt Ron's throat squeeze around the tip of his hardness. Harry came hard with a high scream, he kept doing the shallow trusts where he still tried to press deeper and deeper, Ron paled when he felt Harry was still hard with his head inside Ron's slack lips but as soon as Ron was done swallowing Harry's cum, he felt the hardness bury itself down Ron's sore throat not that Ron felt it as he had enough on his hands with focusing on breathing but he did feel how he suddenly was naked.

"Mate ….?"

"I wanna come again … Ron …" It was all the warning Ron had before Harry forced him down on his back with Harry over him, buried very deep down Ron's throat and he still pressed deep for each trust. Harry turned around so he was facing Ron's hardness there was half hard at the moment but when Harry grasped it Ron ached up and that made him take Harry the rest of the way in which made Harry crazy as he almost brutally jerked Ron off while hard trust of his hips but Ron made sure to push him away to breathe but he only managed a gasp between each trust before Harry pressed all the way back inside before holding in there for a moment, then he made a few shallow trust before Ron pushed him away. One time Harry resisted when Ron tried to push him away and that made Ron gag and swallow around Harry who came with a higher scream while staying buried so Ron swallowed around his sensitive head. Harry rolled off Ron, boneless, and Ron gasped for air as he searched for his potion for abused throats; he always had one at hand as you never knew when your bed partner liked it ruff.

"Wow Mate … your instincts are top notch … no fear there…"

"Sorry Ron … didn't mean to …" Ron moved them around so Harry was again spooning him and this time they were able to fall asleep.

BREAK

Harry woke up feeling incredible and never before had he felt this good and as he became aware of his surroundings he remembered about Ron. Harry was still spooning him with his left arm under their heads and the right around Ron's waist, holding on tight. Ron was mumbling nonsense in his sleep but Harry understood enough to grasp the point, it seemed Ron was trying to get out of sleeping with someone, Harry nearly hissed at the thought of anyone besides himself touching Ron but he managed to calm down enough to see that it had been Ron's own choice of living, so he would just have to accept it as part of his friend like Ron accepted everything about him being a vampire.

Ron too woke up feeling great even more when he remembered just why he felt that way; he snuggled closer to Harry with a content rumble. He didn't want to get up though they had classes, just then Dobby showed up.

"Masters, Headmaster have given you four a pass for the whole day as he is sure you will get visitors. He asks that you as quickly as possible make a time table of every class's free time and check who can take care of the shop and when you will be closed."

"Thank you Dobby, tell Hera the same and Dobby please remember our seconds names when we are in these rooms. Everything depends on it."

"Yes Miss Phoebe." Dobby popped out and Harry began to untangle himself from Ron, who groaned in displeasure at getting up.

"Move your ass, Metis. Selene will demand dressing us up, come on … shower time." Harry took Ron by the hand and just pulled as he moved towards their bathroom, Ron didn't seem to comprehend that if he didn't move soon then he would land on the floor.

"AUUV!" Ron groaned as Harry pulled him up standing, Harry just smiled and pushed Ron towards the bath while snapping his fingers to make the showers turn on. "Haarry… too early!"

"You heard Dobby; we have about two hours to get ready. So get a move on."

"Yeah Yeah…." Harry laughed as he got Ron under the water and had to wash him off as Ron was sleeping standing.

"Miss Hera, Miss Selene. Time to get up, you're free from classes today but you will very likely have client and you are asked to make a time table of each class's free period. The first free period will be in about two hours, Master Metis and Miss Phoebe is in the showers and there will be food in your office in twenty minutes." Hermione waved him off and he popped out while Luna got up.

"Come on Hera, I'll even wash your hair today. What do you say?"

"Coming!" Hermione jumped out of the bed and ran to the showers where she ripped off her night dress, charmed a roll of toilet paper into a chair. She sat down and waited. "I'm ready…"

"I'm sure you are … now hold still."

Fifteen minutes later they were gathered in the office, Hermione was drawing a time table to fill out through the day while Ron and Luna was discussing their financials and Harry was studying the scrolls for the clients. They could add questions if they wanted so he was just skimming it through for the last time, when Hermione had done the time table she moved on to go through the rooms and she spelled some walls around their working space so they could each talk with clients about what they wanted them to do for them before going to one half of the room to fill out the scroll.

"Everyone done? Good… I better go and change, the first free period is in thirty minutes."

"Go on .. go and turn into a girl!" Everyone laughed at Luna's peace sign that she had learned this summer on a trip. Harry shook his head as he walked out the room and further to his room. Walking to his double closet he tried to decide what to wear, for a moment he wished he really was a girl but he shook that thought away and just praised himself lucky that he had this chance to try it out. He ended up choosing a Japanese like dress, it had the same cut as their form fitting and floor length satin dresses but this one was silk and not quite that form fitting but still showed hips and ass and let's not forget about showing off a pair of breasts. Hermione had found a spell to make his hair grow and he did that first, letting it grow down past his butt. He cut it so he had fringes there covered his scar, he cut around his face too so the ends could be styled to frame his face in tips. He then moved on to the list of spells he were to put on to complete his 'girl' look, the next in line were high lights in the same red as his eyes subtly placed in five stripes on each side, two in the back and three in his fringes. Next came the make-up spell Hermione had put together to enhance his brilliant red eyes and full lips; black mascara and black lips as well as a tinges of black around his eyes. Next was one he looked forward to and that was his breasts there fitted his slight form without being all too small. He tried moving about with his arms and at once he knew it would take time to get used to the weight and the feel of them bouncing with every movement he made. Then came a spell to hide his manly parts and hair. He then twisted his hair with a chopstick before securing it through the twisted bun but it left nearly all the long hair to hang loose down his back with the shorter over his chest or framing his face.

Back in the office they waited for Harry to return, talking about how they thought Harry would look like when posing as Phoebe.

"Harry will look amazing and every bit like a girl, no one will suspect a thing." Ron glared at them as it seemed Hermione wanted to keep talking about it. "Drop it, Hera. Don't talk down to her; this is very important to her."

"What do you mean, Metis?"

"He sometimes thinks about how it would be to be a girl, now he can finally find out. Let him enjoy the experience in peace, he'll be more than enough nervous about the clients finding out."

"Right…. But I merely wanted to say that you sounded almost like you were in love with him and now I'm even surer. You love him too, don't you?" Ron stared first at her in surprise before looking at Luna only to see the same wishful look in her eyes that Hermione had. "We do too … but we don't know what to do about it. He has never said or done anything to indicate he felt the same, for now we've decided to wait so we can see what The Book will say about who match us best."

"We should stick with that, he can't take it right now. He nearly freaked over what Hera said to him yesterday about a threesome sounding fun." Hermione looked down in guilt at that but Luna forced her to look up, both girls seemed to struggle with themselves. "Hera, it's not your fault. I'm just trying to make you understand what kind of naive state Harry is in when it comes to sex, he has absolutely no idea what it is though his vampire's sexual instinct does… I thought about getting him a few books, I'm sure I could get the twins to pick up some as they then could sort the worst out there is of the more graphic nature."

"Why don't you write them now? He is bound to be dealing with a horny you so he better be prepared." Ron nodded to Luna's casual comment and wrote the letter explaining he now knew of the vampire and that Harry hadn't been told anything about his sexual nature so he was confused right now as he had responded to Ron. He also told them that Harry had fucked his throat raw and that his instinct was top notch, no worries there. He asked for the books on sex for beginners which weren't too graphic in nature – no reason to scare the vampire. He called for Dobby and told him to bring it directly to the twins and it was just in time as Harry came through the door, all three froze and just stared in amazement.

"Wow … you look wonderful, you could almost go for one with Japanese blood in the family … I see the spells were a success."

"They were perfect, Hera. You really are the best. How is the hair, to long?"

"I actually think you should let it grow naturally now, you can easily let it grow to your knees and still suit you. I can always look up a spell to do hair styles for long hair; I found the perfect one for my hair. Instead of being frizzy you can see it's now big even and soft curls, I also grew it while Luna cut hers off just under her ears and she can do a lot with that length."

"If you could find me the book I will look through it myself." Hera nodded just as there came a knock on the outer door, Phoebe smiled as the three others pulled on their simple mask covering their eyes but they were still able to see with the help of one of Hera's spells, Phoebe had chosen not to wear one as she was pretty sure no one would recognize her. "I'll get them …" She walked out of the office into the entrance hall where she opened the door with a charming smile on her now full lips, she was prepared for many things but to see her own year mates from the snake and lions was not a thing she had been preparing for today. "Welcome, please have a seat. I will take four at a time; we should be able to make it in time for the next class. Who wants to go first?" Unsurprisingly Draco was the first to move, Phoebe fought to keep the charming smile and it seemed to work as Draco clicked his heels together before bowing deep at the waist.

"Draco Malfoy, a pleasure. What could be the name of such a beauty?" Phoebe had already practiced on how to handle Draco in all possible ways but even this surprised her but she recovered quickly and embraced her female personality fully.

"Phoebe, you must be Lucius's son. Your charming manners are well known, would you like to talk with a fellow boy or would you rather one of my sisters?"

"What about themselves, Miss Phoebe?" While they had talked the rest had moved into two lines by the walls. "I would be delighted if you would do me the pleasure to grace me with your guidance through this."

"Very well, Mister Malfoy. The three others follow, this way." Phoebe turned and led them to the office where her siblings were waiting. Hera stepped forward and gave a small smile at Draco's surprised expression. "This is Hera, my sister."

"Welcome, does one of you prefer to talk to our brother?" Hera smiled when Neville raised his hand. "Yes, Mister…?"

"Neville Longbottom."

"Well Mister Longbottom, as you are not in class there is no need to raise your hand. Metis will help you…" Neville turned to the only male and paled slightly at the clothes and such. Metis had black hair like his sister Phoebe but instead of red highlights Metis had the same blue-white as his eyes though no one would know that for some time as Phoebe was the only one not having her eyes covered by a black cloth. He had a collar with spikes of one inch, a silver scull in his ear, black lips and Selene had even convinced him to make a stud in his nose there later would get a ring. His shirt was charmed to be form fitting as well as move with his body which showed a slim line of skin above the leather belt.

"This way, Mister Longbottom." Neville meekly followed Metis and Hera turned back to the two left while Phoebe observed Draco who didn't seem to be in a hurry as he was observed the four before them.

"How come you don't wear a mask like your sibling and why do they?" Phoebe glanced at Draco who was now observing her, Phoebe rolled her eyes.

"We thought it best as it will be me who do the face to face talk with clients, we're a tight woven family who treasure our identity and want it to be between us only. We don't want our parents knowing we do this as they want us to marry some cousins of ours. We wanted husbands and a wife we could fall in love with and not one there focus on our names or money. It was Selene who got the idea to start this as a way to find us a partner as well as a job."

"If my father had his way I was already married to that cow Pansy, I too wish for a partner that I could stand."

"Then why don't we go in and fill the forms?" Draco nodded and followed Phoebe while Hera walked off with Lavender, who was staring at Hera's bouncing curls, very tight corset and short skirt which where all in red with a web like pattern through it. Selene walked off with Dean, who was drooling over the gorgeous pixie. "So Mister Malfoy, what course do you want to take? As you know we offer; a week with meeting of four hours per day, the first four days without seeing each other and the last day you will see each other. Then we have a two week with the same rules and then we have two longer ones but these are for the few who wants to find their life partner and not just a girlfriend. The first is a month and the other is a period between two and six months, you will sign the contract before I give you the scroll. Any questions?"

"What if I say six months and I then want to see the person before that?"

"If that happen then you will come to me and I will ask you a few questions to see if you mean it." Draco nodded.

"Then I want the six months, I want to make sure that I really like them before seeing who in the school it is…it have to work…" The last part was whispered softly but Phoebe heard it anyway. "What spells are there on the rooms and what rules?"

"Well the room only have a lie-not and none-cheating spell, the rules are simple; no lying, no answering for someone else, everyone are to always be polite within these rooms and everyone are to show their arms. We won't let anyone start this without, so before we sign the contract you can show your arms or walk out." Draco rolled his eyes as he pulled up his sleeves and a pair of pale white thin arms was showed to Phoebe, who hurried to cover her surprise. "Very well, here is the contract … sign here and here … good. Now, this is the scroll and an everlasting pen. I'll walk you to a room where you can answer in peace, the pen is charmed so simply hold it to the paper and read the question but when you answer it you need to relax and think very hard on the question – the pen will write what you really want. You might not agree with everything it writes but trust me when I say they can't lie, we had Professor Flitwick make them." Draco merely nodded, having guessed as much.

"That's fine." Phoebe opened the door to one of the blue rooms; having first laid her hand on the door to make sure it was empty.

"There is a house elf who answers to this room, just call out what you want and it should appear as soon as the elf had made it." Draco nodded as he stepped into the room and sat down in the chair. "It shouldn't take you long if you don't resist the pen, I and my siblings did it yesterday to test it and it took us around ten to fifteen minutes. Press this button when you're done and I will come and get you." Phoebe bowed her head before walked out, both felt the wards and spells activate and first then did Phoebe go to check who was ready for the next one.

The rest of the early hours of the day went similar ways, they were surprised that so far no death eater was suspected as everyone showed their arms though a few got insulted but it was soon over and the four siblings gathered in the office and removed the walls around their work space. Dobby appeared with cold chicken meat, bread, a bowl for each with strengthen soup, a few fruits and some kind of relaxing tea.

After lunch was the same but they were a little worried at what speed they were moving through the years, they were still only in the start of the first years – having finished their own year. Hera said it was because the first years was not used to magic so they couldn't focus to relax their mind and enter that trance the pen required. They had to give in willingly and trust the magic and that was hard for many. She assured that it would go faster with the rest which calmed her siblings.

"I still think we should ask for more rooms, ten won't be nearly enough." Metis looked at Hera pleadingly, trying to make her understand the serious problem. "I didn't think everyone would show any interest but they do and we haven't the rooms to hold every year and every person for each free period. Do you see my concern?"

"Yes Metis … we hear you … dobby could you come?" Barely had Selene finished talking before Dobby was besides her, bowing deeply. "We need to get an approval for many more rooms as everyone in school besides teachers has so far shown interest. Then we need to employ five boys and five girls until we're through most of the school, they are needed for every free period and Hera is willing to help with homework so they won't fall behind. If he could place a secrecy spell on them it would be awesome. We also need ten more scrolls from Professor Flitwick, he can prepare them and Phoebe will come after dinner so he can do his thing."

"Yes Mistress Selene, are the new rooms to be like the rest?" Selene nodded and Dobby then bowed for all four before popping out.

"Selene, really!"

"What?! It needed to be done and none of you seemed to do it." Hera rolled her eyes in disbelief before turning to the Match Book to see if there was any hit yet, not that she expected it but she was surprised to see that Neville had a small probability-match with Dean but as it was low she decided to wait and see if a higher match showed up later.

"Hera, don't be angry with Selene. She did the right thing and Dobby loves to help us with anything, you know that."

"I do!" Hera slammed the book close and glared at Phoebe. "I do know … it's just … I'm worried that I will fall behind or die from trying not to …"

"Hear, that would never happen. We would have put all this on hold if we ever got stressed and began disliking doing this, right Selene, Metis?"

"Sure! We would never let you get too stressed; we would hire fifty more to prevent it if it was what it would take. Now, we better get ready as the next batch will arrive in two minutes." All three turned to look at the wall watch Dumbledore had keyed to Hogwarts's bell, so when the bell rang end of class the watch would vibrate with a low whining for a few seconds. "Who wants to take Ginny? I can't."

"How do you know Ginny will come next?" Hera stared hard at Metis who suddenly ducked behind his book. "Metis! Answer me!"

"Heraaa! Come on!" She just kept staring. "I have had Dobby copy her time table, okeey! Ever since second year, three times a day I have a house elf report where my family are and where they should go next … what?!"

"METIS!" Everyone cringed as she managed to drown out the watch's whining, Metis had covered under the desk so only the top of his head and eyes could be seen. "YOU SPY ON PEOPLE?! WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING?!"

"Miss Hera…?! Are everything alright?!" Metis groaned at hearing Percy shout through the door – which had to be quite loud – and Hera raised her wand slowly and that had Metis scream dramatically and hide completely under the desk but Hera merely magically pulled him out and over to her.

"Talk!"

"I wanted to make sure they were safe! You can't stop me from doing that with my family! You are my friend – not my mother! You have no right to yell at me like that!" Selene had the sudden urge to strangle the glaring man lying on the floor, she had seen the hurt look in Hera's eyes at the word 'friend' and not 'fiancé' as that was what they actually still were – she could just imaging the thoughts running through her sister's head, like; have Phoebe already won the man's heart because Phoebe are willing to have sex with Metis and she hadn't the courage?

"Hera, I don't think Metis meant it like that. He merely meant that as his friend and fiancé you should support him rather than scold ..." That had Hera stop and think which Selene knew she would. "Do you see Phoebe scold anyone? No, she says what she thinks but she doesn't try to decide what they can't do. We know you mean well, love, but even that one can forget sometimes."

"I didn't … I don't want to … I just felt someone have to as the teachers don't notice anything … I just want people to think before they do something they regret … I'm sorry!" Phoebe, who was closest besides Metis who was staring in shock at Hera, hurried to embrace her sister in a tight and safe cocoon of arms and magic, Selene and Metis were pushed back gently and then they couldn't see the two sisters. "Phoebs … it this why I don't have many friends? That people don't like me, because I act like their mother..?"

"Yes love … but those of us who knows you and loves you don't care what others say. You are our sister in everything but blood, in everything that really means anything … you will be a great mother, your kids will never be in need of either love or discipline. If I have a girl I would be honored if you and Selene would be her godmothers because I know you would spoil her rotten but still discipline if the need appeared. She would become a strong woman with her own beliefs, smart and an amazing witch. Powerful but not abusive or arrogant in any way, she would be very lucky to have you to help raise her." Hera had become more and more teary eyed and at the middle tears ran down her cheeks but at the end she was sobbing loudly into Phoebe's chest with her arms tight around the waist below as if she would die should she let go. "Do you want a potion to calm you a little so we can greet our clients?" Hera nodded and while Phoebe drew her magic back and called Dobby to bring one Hera fixed herself with a few spells to remove red eyes or nose, ruined make-up, applying new and one to straighten her and Phoebe's clothes. She helped Metis up who hurried to hug her close, she barely managed to move so she could swallow her potion as Metis refused to let go.

"Are you alright, love? What was that potion? Are you hurt?!"

"Metis, bro, relax. It's just a calming draught as we have clients waiting; I will take Ginny as she is least likely to recognize me." Everyone agreed and Phoebe turned with a nod, she hurried to the outer door. "Welcome everyone, sorry for the hold up. Family problems you know …" Phoebe smiled when everyone stifled a giggle. "Now come on, four at a time. There will be no fighting while waiting, if bored do your homework. That way you have more time tonight to be with your friends." That had everyone promptly take a seat and open their bags; Phoebe summoned small tables and a paper basket. "There you go. You should properly keep this up as we work together with the teachers meaning that if your grades starts to drop then you are sat on hold … we wouldn't have gotten permission to open this if we didn't agree so deal with it." Phoebe led the four to the office and the rest of that period was spent the same way as before.

When it was time for dinner, they hurried to dress in their normal clothes and run to the great hall so their friends wouldn't question their absence from all meals that day. They did question their absence that night, breakfast and lunch as well as every class but the four simply said that they had done their homework in the ROR and fallen asleep then spent all morning explaining to the Headmaster that they had trouble concentrating in the common room and had walked to the library and that they had met Luna on the way. She had proposed they could use ROR as it would be more comfortable than the hard chairs in the library, the Headmaster had then called their Head of House who had then spent several hours lecturing before making arrangement so they had their own rooms but only if they at least attended dinner and still socialized in the common room and as long as their grades was not going downwards, Hermione explained that the Headmaster had for a long time thought about giving the Golden Trio their own rooms so they could focus on learning offensive and defensive spells, hexes and curses so they were prepared for Voldemort – if the trio then decided to continue DA and teach it to the others then so be it. That Luna was included was overseen neatly at the moment but Hermione knew they had to come up with a believable reason without making it seem like Luna was favored by the Headmaster in any way.

Harry observed his friend and knew by the glance he gave a silent Luna that she was thinking the same as him, they would have to use their triumph card which he really didn't want to but he was sure Luna would understand when he told her. He just hoped it wouldn't make everyone freak out, he could just imaging the headlines and fan mail asking for help. He gave Luna a sympathy glance though she didn't see it he knew that she was thinking the same from the hunched shoulders and moodily stabs she gave her food.

"It's not fair, you know? Mom always told me to keep it to myself for as long as I could... I suppose nearly seventeen years is rather well done so it won't be so bad but still…"

"I'm sorry, Loon, I really am but we might have to if we want to continue this."

"I know Tiger … because it will help with this it won't be bad … I'll live." Harry gave her a gentle kiss to the temple which made her beam, she forgot her food the moment Harry shifted a little and lifted his arm in silent invitation. She hugged his waist as she snuggled closer, Harry calmly laid his arm around her and ran his fingers along her side and hip in a calming motion there practically made her spin like a cat. Everyone besides Hermione and Ron stared in shock at their couple like behavior but didn't dare point it out as Harry always went berserk when someone talked about his private business or god help them rattling him to a reporter – what happened at Hogwarts's grounds stayed at Hogwarts or within each family as Albus had warned each parent of Harry's wrath. It had been after fourth year battle and he had barely escaped Barty Croutch Jr. and Albus was explaining everything in the great hall when Miss. Skeeter had turned to a catatonic Harry at the Lion's table flanked by his friends, she had asked him what happened and why he hadn't rescued Cedric at the least, her readers would demand an explanation to why he had let a fellow student get killed and let the Dark Lord rise again – wasn't he their savior?

Let's just say Harry went into a blood rage, spent half an hour screaming at her – totally ignoring everyone else – screaming the worst curses at her and her readers, who was to keep their noses out of his life and shouldn't waste the two brain cells they had on what he did, thought or felt. He was sure that the cell pushing the other cell's wheelchair would kill itself from the exhaustion exercise of actually understanding and comprehending of her blabbering bull shit anyway. From then on Harry was kept to a bare minimum in the paper and never written by Skeeter. The school learned to not write gossip to the papers as Harry would give them a verbal thrashing. Luna contently snuggled even closer before stealing a pierce of bacon from Harry's plate, who merely kept eating as if nothing happened but when she tried again he pinched her side and she cursed before grasping his hand and then defiantly taking the wanted bacon.

"Loon, why do you insist on taking from my plate when there is a whole bowl on the table?"

"Because I can." Glancing at him through her lashes. "You own me, Tiger." Harry sighed with a nod.

"I know Loon; I will make it up to you Love." Luna merely hummed and took more bacon. "How about I fill your plate?" He sighed at the glare sent his way. "Sorry …" By now everyone was giving him sympathy glances – everyone besides Ron who snickered and that made Hermione glare death but she kept silent, not that it was any better if you asked Ron as he found her new found control to keep silent plus that glare was quite scary. "Well, we better head back guys. We still have tree assignments and four spells to write and study." Ron saw what he wanted and gave a pitiful whine.

"Don't remind me, Harry! I had finally forgotten!"

"Ron Weasley! We should appreciate the help Dumbledore gives us; it might be what saves us all."

"Yes, Hermione, but one of those assignments is on potion!" More whining that Hermione rolled her eyes at before standing together with Harry and Luna; they had nearly reached the door before Ron scrambled out of his seat under laughter from half the students. "Hey! Wait up!" He ran out the door at top speed as he thought they had walked on so therefor he slammed into Harry who was right outside the door where the three had stopped.

"Way to go, Weasley. You would think that a pureblood like you – even if you're a blood traitor – would know how to behave in public … must be pure chaos surrounding your house, not like mine."

"Why don't you move that spank able ass into the Hall and get some fat on that skeleton you call a body? I'm sure it will thank you for something else than salad …" Harry gave the shocked boy a glare worth Severus's approval before taking each girl by the hand and walked off, leaving Ron and Draco staring openmouthed after him.

"That was a rather Slytherin-insult …" Ron groaned at the blond boy's off handed comment. "What?!"

"I had hoped his Slytherin traits had disappeared … if he continues the school will demand a resort and the hat will for sure put him in Slytherin like it wanted to…"

"What are you blabbering about Weasley, like it wanted to?"

"In first year, its first choice of house for Harry was Slytherin … Harry made it put him in Gryffindor … I had hoped he was over all that, he hasn't showed any traits in a year …" Ron sighed and walked off with a defeated aura, leaving Draco to think. "See you around, Malfoy!"

"Yeah …" Draco shook his head and not for the first time questioned his sanity when agreeing to a truce between the Golden Trio and the Dark Circle last year, he shook his head and entered the Great Hall where he took his seat between Greg and Goyle. Surprisingly he did as Harry had said and piled salad, rice, chicken and a small amount of gravy on his plate while wishing he didn't have perfect hearing as the two baboons shoveled food in faster than Ron managed.

"…would want to wait six months to really date?! Its outrages that I have to wait a week to see if I want him! Like I would waste six month only to find him imperfect." Draco glared at Pansy, who lifted an eyebrow at the death glare. "Yea, Dear Draco?"

"I think we all know your standards by now, my dear, which is properly why you don't have a boyfriend. You care more about looks than actually personality. There are others who care about having a discussion or having a deeper bond with their partner but that is maybe too much to ask of you … with your nonexistent ability to comprehend things like that." True enough it took her several seconds to process what he had said and by then Draco had walked out, leaving her to fume. When he walked through the door he saw Phoebe slowly walking down the stairs, looking around with a small smile and her hand gliding gingerly along the banister – feeling the stone and wood under her fingertips.

She was breathtaking in her swaying walk, her long hair flowing freely down her back and moving as she did, her dress was slightly lifted with one hand and showed her bare feet's. Her dress was the finest and thin leather he had ever seen, white corset with black laces and web like patterns, the long skirt was with the same web pattern and a small train, a thin fabric was draped over her shoulder and flowed behind her in the gentle breeze.

"Ah, Mr. Malfoy. How are you?" Phoebe stopped in front of Draco, who gently took her hand and bowed at the waist to press his lips against the back of it.

"I am well, Milady. How is everything going?"

"Oh we have loads of work; I'm on my way to Headmaster's office. He found us some workers to help till we are through most of the school; we've attracted more interest than we thought." Draco bowed his head in understanding. "Maybe you could help me find the way? The Headmaster was sadly very vague with directions."

"I would love, to Milady. This way." Draco offered his elbow to her and Phoebe rested her hand there with a grateful smile, Draco kept talking about a law his father was trying to get through – something about Muggleborns being required to start school by the age of seven, like in the magical world, so they could start learning about their new world, he even tried to make a speed-program for the parents.

"This would be the first time in history that your father is doing something to help Muggleborns, is there a reason for this change?"

"Not as far as I know but he hardly ever talks to me, Mother says he had an epiphany and simply changed – she says that if Father couldn't ban them from this world then he had to prepare them at an earlier age so they wouldn't waste their school years to learn about moving pictures and ghosts."

"Sounds reasonable enough, does he have any support?"

"Mother said it's pretty balanced, it depends on his speech this evening. I'm expecting Mother's owl later with a letter and the paper, I'll go nut if it's Skeeter's – ever since she couldn't write about Potter three years ago she's thrown herself over my family.

"Yes, she seems to have found her replacement in Malfoy Senior." Just then they reached the gargoyle. "Thank you Mr. Malfoy. I don't think I would have found my way on my own."

"It was my pleasure, Milady. I would like to offer my help if you should ever need it, merely send a house elf and I'll do whatever I can."

"Why thank you, Mr. Malfoy!" Phoebe beamed as she leaned closer and standing on her toes she gave Draco a kiss on the cheek.

"Milady, why do you have bare feet's? Aren't you cold?"

"Heating charm…. Please, call me Phoebe … or a variation of it. Hera prefers Phoebs while my dunderhead of a brother merely calls me Phee."

"I will honor the Greek goddess and call you your real name, Phoebe. You may call me Draco or Dray but if you ever say Draconius I will have to kill you." Phoebe laughed at his serious tone though the playful glint in his silver eyes.

"Of course Draco, we can't have that. Hera told me to tell you, if I saw you, that there are yet to appear a match but as we still have half the school to go through which is the upper years you are not to worry." Draco again bowed and kissed her hand before walking off with a wave as the bell began to ring. "Jelly bears." The statue moved aside and Phoebe stepped onto the stairs and it didn't take long before she was standing before Albus's door, giving a few knocks.

"Enter! Ah, Milady. Do come in, I have just explained the rules and everything else to these ten. I've added extra room to them behinds the meeting rooms. They will prepare meals and light cleaning, I trust they can borrow the catalogs to decorate their new rooms with furniture's on your bill while everything else can either be provided by their parents or they will pay themselves."

"Accepted Headmaster and to you ten; no entering our bedrooms at any times, send Dobby and only him. Understood?" all ten nodded seriously and Phoebe beamed. "Then come on, we have to order your new work clothes and furniture so it can be delivered tomorrow at lunch. Until your clothes have arrived you will wear you school skirt and pant with a white shirt, you are to let people in and sort them to us. Seventh and sixth year are to be sorted to me, alright?" again nods. "Good. You will receive one Gallon per week, weekends are free and our names are Phoebe, Hera, Selene and Metis – no Mr. or Miss." All ten nodded with a smile and Phoebe waved them over before waving goodbye to Albus and walking out, followed by the ten students.

"Good luck, Milady." Phoebe took her workers with her to the kitchen to bring a snack to nibble on while talking and learning each other's lines and just because she wanted crackers and tea. She introduced them to those house elves who worked for them and the house elves was told to make breakfast for fourteen people now but lunch where for only four as the ten others would eat in the Great Hall so no one would question their absence.

"Now come on, we have new clients in a hour and you need to shower and dress before Hera and Selene will fix your hair and give you a mask – you are to wear that mask whenever you are in the rooms besides your own, the same rule is followed by my siblings so no one will know who you are and try to press you to tell something which is why we also put that secrecy spell on you. Now come." They all walked out with their arms filled with food and drinks, Phoebe was floating the cutlery and plates in front of her. No one talked and Phoebe was glad there still was class so no one would see them.

"Miss P….Phoebe, sorry, when are we to go to bed?"

"Well, as the first free period is at ten then I think we should get up at eight … maybe seven so I would think you should go to bed around ten-eleven. Hera will help you with homework after dinner and you can always ask us about anything, I would suggest that you work at your homework whenever you can so you don't fall behind and can enjoy your weekends."

"Yes Phoebe, we understand." Phoebe nodded and opened the outer door and walked inside, the younger students followed her to the office.

"Heey Sis, so this is the bunch? Tell me … why do we get first years?"

"I'm sure Dumbledore did it only so I could help them with homework, as you can see they are the ones from Muggle homes – not that there is anything wrong with that at all but it means that you don't have the same familiar feeling with magic as one who grew up surrounded by it." The first years merely nodded their heads to Hera's words. "Now, go and wash up. Your things are in your dorms, girls to the left and boys to the right. There are the same rules as in the dorm that you are to sleep in your own bed, should you have trouble at night simply call for Dobby and he will help you or get one of us. Off with you, through there …" Hera pointed to a new door and they hurried through it.

"I'll find the catalogs…" Hera nodded to Selene while Ron arranged all the food and drinks at a table by the wall.

"Thanks Selene, I'll go prepare the masks and hair stuff." Metis and Phoebe waved her goodbye and went back to the food.

"Heey Phee?" Phoebe looked up at her brother with a raised eyebrow like saying 'what?'. "How did it go with Ginny?"

"As far as I can see she's not looking for her soul mate but a flirt." Phoebe laughed at Metis's 'phew'. "What do we do with our fellow lion players? You think they won't recognize even me?"

"How should they Phee? If I didn't know I wouldn't." Phoebe beamed just as three boys and two girls came back. "Hera is in there waiting for you, when she's done with you then come in here and eat a little while we look through the catalogs – we will pay for your new work clothes this time but it's up to yourselves to maintain them. We will also pay for one item as a welcome gift, if we are talking about any body-altering or decorating you will need your parent's approval.

"What if it's just some charms we want, to change something, for when we work?"

"That will not need an approval and you just tell Hera what you want, which is what by the way?"

"I want to have the same charm as Phoebe to make it look like I'm a vampire too." The black haired girl beamed at a shocked Metis and Phoebe, who thought that everyone knew that Phoebe was a real vampire.

"What is your name, sweetie?" She told him in a caution tone as if she was expecting to be yelled at and it made Phoebe's alarm bells go off on full blast. "Kiomé, don't you know that Phoebe is a real vampire?" Kiomé shook her head with big surprised and hopeful eyes.

"Really?! Oh Phoebe, will you please bite me?!" Hera, who had just entered the room, gasped in shock at the black haired girl's words and before anyone could answer she had thrown herself at Phoebe. Kiomé hugged Phoebe around the waist tightly as she kept repeating 'Please!'.

"Kiomé, why in the world do you want me to do that?"

"So my step brother and his friends can't catch me and it won't hurt that much when my step father gives me a trashing…" Phoebe looked up at her siblings in alarm, they too was staring at Kiomé in shock. "Please Phoebe…?"

"One moment Kiomé." Phoebe turned to her siblings. "I will talk with Kiomé in our bedroom, can you handle the last batch of clients yourselves, I have to react to this."

"You go on Phoebs; I'll send Dobby with some food and drinks. We'll do fine while you talk." Phoebe nodded while Kiomé trembled more and more as she clung to Phoebe as if she was a lifeline, Phoebe bent a little and before Kiomé could protest she was cradled in Phoebe's strong arms as she was a feather. Kiomé sniffed before burying her face into the crook of Phoebe's neck as she was carried out – her friends were giving her either wondering or sympathy looks but no one said anything and merely followed Hera. Phoebe made a relaxing humming low in her throat to soothe the shaking girl, she feared that history had repeated itself.

"Dobby, could you ask Headmaster to let me borrow his pensive? Thanks…"

"What is a pensive?"

"It's a way for one to see a memory from the sideline; the only bad thing is that everything is in black and white." Kiomé stayed silent the rest of the way, she didn't even notice that Phoebe placed her on Metis's bed before conjuring a table there was perfect in height compared to the bed, Kiomé nearly jumped out of her skin when Phoebe gently lifted her head to look her in the eyes. "Kiomé, do you know it's illegal to hit children or in any way cause the child intentional pain?" Kiomé looked at Phoebe with a scared and wild look in her eyes; Phoebe shifted her hand so instead of holding her head up she was cupping one cheek tenderly. "Will you tell me the truth if I asked you a few questions? You have my word that I will do everything I can to help you in the best way. If you're holding back because you think I won't believe you or won't understand what it is like then you're wrong – I do know what it is like."

"I don't really want to talk about it…"

"I know Kiomé, I didn't either and still don't but sometimes you just have to talk about it or you end up as bitter as Snape. I was close to be like that but Hera, Metis and Selene helped me through it and supported me. We will do the same to you and you don't have to worry about your family – they can't hurt you here."

"Do you promise..?" Phoebe knew then and there that this child was abused and she would rather die than having her return for the winter holidays.

"Yes Kiomé, I promise on my life that I won't let you return to your family unless you yourself want to. Wanna tell me about it? If I am to help you I need to know and so does the Headmaster … please tell me, honey."

"As I said, my step brother and his friends chase me and if they catch me I'm bruised for days … step father gives me trashing for the smallest thing and blames me for everything, he's a muggle … so is my brother but mother is a squib…"

"Do your mother ever hit you or try to stop your step father?"

"She has never hit me but most of the time she ignores me like I'm the plague and if she do notice me it's only to shout at me … she hates me because I have magic. I think my step father fears me and my brother is just a bully…"

"Have they ever broken a bone or other extreme things?" Phoebe's heart sank when Kiomé without noticing rubbed her forearm as if remembering a pain. "Kiomé?"

"Because my mother is a squib we can go to healers instead of doctors and that is what has saved me….. Healers or potions that mother got in Diagon Ally…"

"Kiomé… do you have any other family members you could stay with?" Kiomé shook her head. "I promised to help you and I will but if I am to remove you from your family we have to go to court with this. I can maybe get guardianship over you or blood adopts you as my sister but you have to be sure, Honey. The court will be hard as everything will come fourth and they will ask all kind of questions…"

"I'm sure, Phoebe. I don't care what it takes, it will be worth it in the end … would you really blood adopt me as your sister? I've never had a blood relative besides my mother and some distant cousins I've never met…"

"If you want to." Barely had Phoebe said it before she had a lapful of a crying teen. "Hush… easy honey… come on, relax … do you have any pains or bruises now?"

"My hip hurt as father pushed me to the floor … my brother hit me a few times with the shaft of a broom…" Phoebe nearly shook with rage but she tried to calm herself and ask one last question and the hardest of them.

"Kiomé, you must promise to be completely honest with me now, okey honey?" Kiomé slowly nodded, like she knew something bad was coming. "Did either your brother or father or your mother ever touch you..?" Phoebe saw Kiomé's hesitation to answer. "I promise to believe and help you."

"Father sometimes…. Come to me, you know into my room… but only when we're home alone.. He says I deserve it and I should be happy it's him and not a work on the street…. He sometimes takes me driving and then he shows me where sluts like me works and he says that when I'm fifteen he will set me to work…" Now Phoebe did shake with rage – not even the Dursley's had raped him but this man kept telling a little girl that it would be her way of living in a few years!

"Kiomé… before you decide that you want me to adopt you then there is something about me that you should know."

"What is that?" Phoebe swallowed the lump in her throat at the black trusting eyes looking up at her.

"I don't normally look like this and my real name is not Phoebe. I'm actually Harry Potter but I'm Phoebe when inside these rooms so no one will know that I work here."

"You're Harry Potter?!" Kiomé stared surprised at him and automatically her eyes landed on Phoebe's forehead. "You're Harry Potter and you still want to adopt me…?" Phoebe nodded seriously and then flinched in pain when Kiomé flew up and nearly choked her from the hug she gave. "Oh please, Harry Potter! Help me!"

"Alright Kiomé, right now we'll go down to Snape and get a potion to fix you. Have you eaten today?"

"I had some salad… I don't eat much…."

"Then he will give you a look over … the bath is through there, go and wash up while I tell my siblings and Kiomé… remember to call me Phoebe when I'm dressed like this and the same goes for Metis, Hera and Selene, okey?"

"Yes Phoebe." Kiomé went to the bath and Phoebe fled the rooms before her rage broke free.

"HERA!" She made her sibling jump half a meter at her shout. "Hera, what do you know about the laws of Blood Adoption and the limit age?"

"Well… that depends on the individual case. Why sweetie?"

"I want to adopt Kiomé as my sister, can I?"

"You should be able to as long as there is valid grounds for wanting to remove her from her family."

"Oh I believe there is when we're talking about rape, abuse, negligee and the threat to prostate her in a few years!"

Dead Silence…

"WHAT!" all three flew up in rage. "I don't believe this! How could Dumbledore let this happen again!"

"I'm taking her to Snape. We need pictures and medical file to present in court." Hera nodded just as Kiomé came in. "There you are honey, are you ready?" Kiomé nodded and then Phoebe walked over and stood beside her with a hand resting on her shoulder, Kiomé hugged Phoebe around the waist and stayed there. "Come on then. See you guys later." Her siblings waved and called goodbye.

"Will it hurt…?"

"I can't be sure honey, it depends if there is something broken." They walked down the stairs and the closer they came to the potion classroom the more Kiomé shivered in fright. "Don't worry honey… no one will ever hurt you again." Kiomé hugged tighter but didn't stop shaking. They had now reached the door and Phoebe pushed a button there made it known that someone wanted to talk with Severus. By now Kiomé could barely stand on her feet's from her shaking so Phoebe lifted her up on her hip like you would a toddler but Kiomé didn't protest and buried her face in Phoebe's neck while wrapping her legs around Phoebe's waist.

"There better be a damn good reason to why someone dare disturb me at this time!" Phoebe rolled her eyes at Severus's angry muttering behind the door. "What?!" Severus was about to shout for the person to fuck off when he saw that is was Harry in that Phoebe-disguise with a first year hanging on him like a monkey. "Get in." Severus turned and walked to his private rooms, where he directed them to a couch. "What is the problem?"

"Kiomé needs some medical attention but everything is to be documented to be used in the court." At Severus's surprised look Phoebe waved her hand and suddenly Kiomé was naked with her front pressed into Phoebe's chest so it was hidden from view and Phoebe was even more alarmed by the way Severus took a step back before bolting to the class room.

"It's cold… do I have to be naked? I don't like it when people is near me…"

"I know honey but we have to, here's a blanket…" She folded the wool blanket around her just as Severus came running with his arms full of bottles.

"Here, help me. She needs to lay on her stomach, this potion first to take the pain, then this there is part of a healing spell to avoid scarring but I'm afraid she'll have some … this last one is nutrition as she is much too thin. Now lay her down, first we have to take pictures and I have to do a diagnose spell." Phoebe helped Kiomé to lie down without showing her naked front.

"Kiomé … I know this is uncomfortable but remember it is to help you get better and away from your family. It will be over in a moment honey … sshhuuss…" Kiomé had started crying when the blanket covering her naked butt and legs was pulled away and Severus began taking pictures.

"It reminds me of …. My step father… he liked to take pictures…" Phoebe shared a panicking look with Severus who speeded up to get it over with. "Sometimes he would have my brother observe… while… telling him that… in a few years… it was… his turn… to have me…" By now both Phoebe and Severus was shaking from rage and Severus hurried to cast the spell and a file appeared and filled out in extreme details, that spell took longer but it was the one required when used for court.

"There Kiomé… almost done, now we just need to heal your back and what else you need to have fixed… it won't take long now…" Phoebe looked pleadingly at Severus to hurry up as the girl was now crying freely, Severus was done in ten minutes and Phoebe hurried to spell warm sweat pant and a long sleeved shirt on her before gathering her into her arms as she hushed and hummed to calm her but when it didn't work Severus then helped her to drink a small dose of a mild calming draught and that did it.

"I will get Albus…" Phoebe nodded while sweet talking to the frightened girl. "Headmaster's office!"

"Ah Severus, what do I own for this night call?"

"You could move through as I have Mr. Potter with a distressed first year in his lap. She's been subject to rape of various ages and abuse properly from a very young age." Severus jumped back in shock as Albus was out of his chair and in front of the fire place in seconds; he stepped out and glanced around Severus's private rooms. His normally twinkling and kind blue eyes were now icy in their fury, Albus saw Kiomé in Phoebe's arms and though she wasn't crying he could see that she had been and now she was shaking as if expecting someone to hurt her. "Albus, calm down!" Albus only just heard that Severus was whispering to him but he did try to calm down as he could see that the girl was staring at him with big scared eyes.

"Miss Wong, you are a distant cousin to Cho Chang right?" Kiomé slowly nodded. "Have you ever told her or anyone else?" This time a shake of the head.

"I don't really know her; before I came here I had never met her…"

"In that case we will leave them as a last resort of placement… what to do then… hmm.."

"No need to worry about that Headmaster, I'm going to do a sibling blood adoption. Kiomé has already given her approval." At this Kiomé nodded eagerly with a hopeful smile, Albus though looked like he had just gotten a hard punch in the gut.

"You can't, what about Voldemort? She would be at risk..."

"Are you saying that my friends are in less danger? I would think we were well protected while in school and as this is my last year I was planning to get a house ready by the end of school. I've already made the blueprints over the summer." To say that Severus and Albus was shocked at the protective way she was holding the girl would be understating, Severus gave a approving nod while Albus seemed to hesitate. "I'm seventeen, Headmaster so though you have been my guardian you are no longer and I can do as I please and I am going to adopt her with or without your consent though I would prefer it to be with your approval." Albus sighed in defeat while Severus summoned tea for them before directing Albus to a chair.

"Very well, my boy. I will prepare the papers and maybe Severus will brew the potion.." Albus glanced at the potion master, who nodded.

"As if I would trust the Ministry to not poison them." Severus huffed in annoyance. "It should be done by lunch tomorrow, I trust you can get the papers and Madam Bones her by then? Potter, will it be you or Miss. Wong who report the abuse?"

"I will."

"How will you explain that it's Potter who adopts her but Miss. Phoebe know her, she will be the connection between the two of you."

"No she won't, she too will get a new personality for when she work and is with me when I'm Phoebe." Severus nodded in understanding. "We are already making them one; we just have to make more details on Kiomé's. Besides, I could always say that Harry gave financial support to us and that's how she knows us both … actually, I think that would be a better idea. What do you think Kiomé?"

"I don't want to have two personalities … can't we say that Harry adopted me, had me with him when he went to give money and that's how I got to know Phoebe and starts working for her…?"

"A brilliant idea, Miss Wong. I will go and arrange the papers; I trust you yourself can sort out the new personalities?" Albus received nods. "Good, good. I'll see you after lunch tomorrow, I will get a house elf to bring her things to your room as I expect you want her in your own rooms."

"Thank you Headmaster, could you excuse her from classes as I want her to talk with a mind healer as further evidence." Albus gave the smiling girl a sad look before nodding. "Thanks again." Kiomé waved to Albus as he walked to the fireplace and flooded to his office.

"Potter, you are to give these three times a day. There is one to help her with gaining a healthy appetite, nutrition and one to repair any damage done to her organs. You should know that the last one might start her period but only if her body has suppressed it in self-defense, it's seen before that a girl's magic have postponed that part when abused to save up blood.

"Hera and Selene can help her with that should it happen. Thank you, Professor, for your help … we should go now." Phoebe made to stand up with Kiomé cradled in her arms but Severus stopped her. "Professor?"

"What wards do you plan on using for your house?" Severus passed a cup of tea but had to wait a second as Kiomé had to move besides Phoebe, she took the cup with one hand as the other was busy with calming Kiomé.

"I was planning on the Fidilus charm with the dark mark shield on top. A notice-me-not would not be bad to have on top … Hera are studying up on them." Severus nodded to himself in approval.

"What about Miss. Wong's new personality, what changes do you plan on?" Phoebe turned to Kiomé who was pulling her arm for attention.

"Yes honey?"

"How much will I change looks after the adoption?" Phoebe looked over at Severus, so did Kiomé, who seemed to think about it.

"One can never know for sure, it depends on the potion and its efficiency. Mine have always proved to work as a copy-potion, meaning that you will properly end up looking like a younger female version of Mr. Potter."

"Wicked!" Phoebe smiled indulgingly at the beaming girl while Severus seemed to hold back a snide comment.

"Professor, how much dreamless draught can one take before it's addictive?"

"No more than three times a week, I wouldn't advise she takes one today as she needs to process what have happened." Phoebe nodded in understanding. "If she wakes during the night give her the rest of this calming draught." Severus threw the bottle to Phoebe who caught it, barely looking at it as her hand closed around it; Kiomé clapped her hands in delight while Severus smirked. "Show off." Phoebe just smiled her charming smile. "How will you contact a mind healer? It would be all over the news that you have an appointment with one, they won't care that it will be Miss. Wong who talks with the person." At this Kiomé gasped and stared at Phoebe with scared eyes.

"Will you get in trouble, Miss Phoebe?! I don't want you to help me if you get in trouble! Mother always told me I'm not worth it… I'm just a burden." Phoebe shared a shocked glance with Severus before she put her cup down so she could lift Kiomé into her lap. "You'll just hate me when everyone starts talking and writing about you…"

"Kiomé!" Both Severus and Kiomé stared at her, who was glaring hard at Kiomé who flinched as if she would get hit. "I will wash your mouth with soap if you ever talk like that again! You are not and never will be a burden. Those are lies from a sick mind! You are worth every Knut and every minute I spend on you, don't you dare think otherwise you lady! Do you understand?" Kiomé nodded mutely, still trying to process all she had said and what it meant. Severus was looking at them with hidden longing in his eyes – not that he would ever admit it to anyone, not even himself most of the time. "Do you understand, Kiomé? When I say I will help then there is nothing there will ever change my mind, tomorrow you will be my little sister and I will do everything in my power to make sure no one will ever hurt you again – that's what a family does." It took Kiomé five seconds to process but when she did Phoebe was again glad that she had no need for air as Kiomé had her in a choke hold while crying and saying sis over and over.

"Maybe I should escort you back, I'm sure everyone will try and talk with you." Phoebe smiled and nodded thankfully, neglecting to tell that she had her father's cloak with her but Severus was for once rather civil today – something she could get used to.

"Thanks Professor, I'm beginning to wonder why I never learned some spells to become invincible… have to have Hera look that up…"

"Why do you call her Hera? No one will hear you in here and Miss. Wong will know about it anyway."

"When we're either dressed for work or when we're alone in our room, we call each other those names as a way to prepare ourselves for the day so we won't slip up." Severus bowed his head in understanding before standing and walked over to stand before them.

"Let me carry her, I imaging she's heavy." Phoebe looked up and that made her fangs show and even more when she smiled – not that she noticed but Severus did. "What an invention charm, Mr. Potter, was it the twins who made it? I have never uncounted any charms there will make you seem as if a vampire." Before Phoebe could say anything Kiomé had turned to Severus with the biggest smile of childish happiness.

"My sis is not using any charms! She's a real vampire!" To say Severus was once again shocked was a dire understatement, Phoebe huffed annoyed when he backed slightly but Kiomé wasn't done yet. "When I get older I wanna be just like her!" That shook Severus out of his shocked daze; he looked at Phoebe who struggled her shoulders.

"Miss. Wong, you will have to think very hard about that as you can't regret it ever. You have to be absolutely sure." Kiomé glared insulted at her Professor as only a child could, Phoebe had to hide a giggled but a look at Severus and she went back to pay attention.

"As if I would ever regret that; I get to be with my sister forever, I will be strong enough to protect myself and others and things won't be so hard anymore. What exactly, Professor, is it I am to regret?"

"You are still to think about it Kiomé, Professor Snape is right. I didn't get the time to think and though I don't regret it I still sometimes wish for the choice. Alright honey? We'll talk about the turning in the summer, okey?" Kiomé sighed but nodded her head, knowing there was no point in arguing with them. "Good, now we better head back. I'm sure they are starting to worry … hold on honey." Severus stepped forwards as if to help but Phoebe waved him off and stood up with the child on her hip without using any strength. "She's nothing more than a feather, Professor. I think I would have trouble lifting Hagrid but everything under that is no problem." Severus shook his head before going to the door. "Now, would the young lady want a piggy ride?" Kiomé gave a happy shout and it wasn't long before Kiomé was on Phoebe's back with her arms around the neck and her legs around the waist. They walked in silence, Kiomé was studying her new sister/brother and Professor. She thought it was weird the way they would glance at each other when the other wasn't looking, maybe it was a adult thing?

Phoebe was indeed glancing at Severus but it was to observe the way the shield worked, when they turned a corner and walked down the before desertet corridor she saw how Severus tensed his left arm and she suspected that the shirld caused pain or discomfort. When they stopped by the door, Severus was as far away from the door there made his mark burn and if he had doubted that Phoebe really was a vampire then he didn't now as she without trouble pulled him with her as she walked up to the door and pressed Severus's hand to the warm wood. If Severus hadn't been in such pain he would have shouted , he grinded his teet's and trying really hard to hold still as he knew it should be over in a few second as he had done this enough times to know what she was doing. A few second later he relaxed as a feeling of ice filled his body to soothe his abused nerve endings, Phoebe was supporting him while Kiomé jumped off her back and opened the door so Phoebe could help him in. "Our bedroom too, honey." Kiomé raced to said room and opened the door.

"Should I get some water?" Phoebe nodded and Kiomé ran off while she supported Severus to her coffin, he didn't seem to notice what kind of bed it was. "Here!" Phoebe took the water and supporting Severus she helped him drink but she had to remove the glass as Severus tried to gulp it down. "Can I help..?" Phoebe turned to her sister, who was wringing her small hands.

"Yes, could you get Aunt Selene? I think we need a healing spell…"

"N-no… it's over … in a moment…" That made Phoebe turn to Severus in shock as she just realized something; Albus had properly placed that shield on every building he had ever used and Severus would have had to go through this with every place and who could say how many times that was over the years?!

"This isn't the first time you have done this, is it?" Severus looked long and hard at Phoebe, waiting to see the pity and disgust but it never came. Instead he saw sympathy, understanding and … was that compassion?!

"No it's not. If I'm lucky then the mark will feel my betrayal when the Dark Lord dies and it will either leave my body or kill me, if not I'm bound to this the rest of my life." Yes it was compassion in her eyes, he could see it now. Pure compassion for him – a lowly Death Eather spy! "Don't fry your brain, Mr. Potter, it's merely the way of life."

"No it's not, it's unfair and cruel. The world shouldn't be like that." Severus shook his head, giving up for the moment, he looked around for the first time and seeing the coffin he was in he gave Phoebe a raised eyebrow. "I didn't think you would appreciate the bed where Metis and I relaxed last night, I'm not sure it's been made yet." Phoebe giggled at Severus's green pallor. "I thought not, this coffin hasn't been used yet so it was the only thing I could think of. I was thinking of giving it to Kiomé as she would have to get used to it as the first few years it would be best if she sleep in it, I didn't and that have made me a little sensitive to light." Kiomé stayed silent but listened closely and she would definitely love the coffin… maybe a color charm to make its bedding red instead of blue. "Are you feeling alright now? Do you need anything?"

"I'm fine, I will be stiff tomorrow and that's that." Phoebe gave a 'phew' while Kiomé frowned, Severus observed this but didn't comment on it as he was trying to figure out why he felt short of breath and why his chest felt like it was slightly warm – was it aftermath from the shield?

"Would you like a tour?" Phoebe gave Kiomé a smile at the question, Severus slowly sat up still feeling the warmth in his chest. Phoebe got up too and was ready to catch him should he fall which were a good thing as Severus swayed and would have fallen face first if she hadn't ceased him around the waist – Kiomé had also moved forward and was supporting him by pressing her hands against his stomach. They stood like that for some time, the girls thought he was getting used to standing but in truth he was frozen in shock; they were willingly touching him, helping him..! Why was Phoebe hugging him? What student would want to touch him? "Professor, are you alright? Should I get Aunt Selene to look at you?" Severus slowly looked down at the first year who was staring wide eyed at him with obvious concern; glancing at his side he saw the same concern in Phoebe's eyes.

"No, Miss. Wong, I'm fine just a bit dizzy, it's over in a moment so there is no need to hold me any longer." At that Kiomé beamed and before Severus could stop her; she was hugging his waist while Phoebe gave a squeeze before letting go.

"I'm glad you're alright, Professor! You helped me to heal so I want to help you if I can, no one should be in pain!" Phoebe had moved to remove Kiomé but when seeing Severus's comical shocked expression she started giggling while removing her little sister.

"Come on, Professor, we'll show you around. I know Hera is dying to ask you about a potion she found yesterday, something about it being able to give one excess to ones subconscious while awake. I think she called it a meditation potion." Phoebe opened the door and again started to giggle when Kiomé casually took her Professor's hand and pulled him with her out the door, Severus was too shocked to resist but he did glare at Phoebe.

"Not a word, Mr. Potter."

"Please, remember our names while dressed like this. There might be client still here; curfew is not for another hour." Severus nodded his agreement and they walked out, he studied the entrance hall while Phoebe closed the door to the bedroom before walking over to open the door to the office. "Hera?"

"Here Phoebs … how did it g-go … Professor, what a pleasure. Welcome." Several girls stood behind Hera waiting, they were dressed for work and seemed to wait for orders. "Girls, please go to your room, do your homework – I'll check it later – and no going into the boys." There was a choir of 'Yes Hera' and they walked out with a glance at Kiomé. "Would you like a drink, Professor?" Severus nodded and Hera called for Dobby while Kiomé pulled him to the 'corner' where two couches was with a low table between them.

"Where are Metis and Selene?"

"Metis are with the boys and Selene has a client in there." Hera waved towards Selene's part of the round table. "She should be done in a second …" Barely had she said it before the walls dissolved and Selene, together with Mister Jones a fifth year Slytherin, stepped closer.

"Hello, Master of Potions, how are you?" Selene smiled at Severus, who glared at the title but as it was the correct way of addressing him formally he couldn't protest and Selene knew it.

"I'm well, Miss. Selene, I hope Mr. Jones hasn't kept you?"

"Oh no, he was with Poppy during his free period so I agreed to see him now instead and excuse me a moment … Mr. Jones, this way." Selene led him to a room so he could do the scroll.

"Here you go, Professor, would you like a piece of cake?" Severus turned to Hera who was holding out a cup of tea – his favorite blend. He took it with a shake of his head. "Alright. Kiomé, would you like one dear?" Kiomé nodded slowly after a glance at Phoebe, who had given a nod – glad that Kiomé already looked towards her for permission and it didn't go unnoticed by Severus or Hera. "There you go dear, eat slowly … we wouldn't want you to get a stomach ache."

"Yes Aunt Hera!" Hera raised an eyebrow at the name but didn't say anything, knowing that Phoebe would explain everything later. "I've never had cheese cake before coming to Hogwarts, it tastes really good!" Kiomé happily began munching on her treat, leaving the grownups to their stuff but she did move closer to Phoebe who gave a smile before lifting her to her lap where Kiomé hummed contently as she snuggled into the chest of her sister while holding the plate under her chin so she wouldn't make a mess, Phoebe laid her arms around her waist to steady her though it was more a hug.

Just then Metis entered the room but he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Severus, only for a second before he walked over to sit beside Hera. He gave her a kiss before making a cup of tea and a plate of cake, he saw the longing look Kiomé gave the cake and after a quick look at Phoebe, who nodded, he placed a small piece on the girl's empty plate.

"Thanks Uncle!" Metis gave her a confused look which she saw and turned pale, properly thinking he was mad. "I'm sorry Mr. Metis, I shouldn't have … I'm really sorry!"

"Wow … easy, I was just surprised. You can call me whatever you want, Alright Sweetie?" Metis glanced at Phoebe who gave a grateful smile, he turned back to Kiomé who was still tense. "How about this, I'll call you pet names and you can call me uncle?" That seemed to do the trick as she relaxed with a smile.

"Really? You would make up names for me?" Metis nodded with a gentle smile while Severus tried to control his sneer but the glare from Phoebe gave him the encouragement he needed, Hera smirked into her cup as a plan formed in her mind. "Thanks Uncle! No one ever gave me pet names." Kiomé beamed before biding into her cake. "It feels nice…"

"That is what family does, honey, and now I think it's time for bed. You've had a stressed day and so will tomorrow be too." Kiomé nodded and crawled down, when she walked towards the working girls' room Phoebe moved with lightning speed to stop her. "You will sleep in my and Metis's room, your things are in the closet with the flowers on the door. When you wake up tomorrow or if you wake tonight don't be scared of the wall I will conjure so there are two rooms. Tomorrow we'll look through catalogs to buy you some stuff so you'll get a true girls room, okey honey?" Kiomé beamed as she skipped towards the door leading to the hall, leaving Phoebe to smile after her while those behind her had the same thought running through their heads; she/he will be the best parent ever!

"Good night everyone!" Kiomé closed the door behind her while Phoebe walked over and sat beside Severus, who was shocked when she laid a hand on top of his mark without fear or disgust. Something must have shown on his face as Phoebe smiled sadly while giving the arm a squeeze.

"I would be a hypocrite if I was disgusted by either you or the mark, I bear his mark too, remember? He may not have intended to but he marked me just as much if not more than you, my scar are a direct connection to his mind. There is more to it than that but Dumbledore refuses to tell me more at the moment, he says I'm too young still." Phoebe removed her hand and calmly turned to her siblings and saw that Selene had joined them; Selene was looking closely at Severus, who seemed to be deep in thought, and Phoebe who just raised her eyebrow at the calculating look in Selene's eyes. "Yes, dear sis?"

"Oh nothing at all sister of mine, merely wondering what could have happened for the two of you to be civil in each other's presence?"

"In the presence of rape and abuse there are many things there pale in comparing and seems foolish, the past is just that – the past." Everyone stared shocked at him but he merely raised his eyebrow. "What?"

"That was very mature of you, Professor." Severus mock glared at Phoebe but she just giggled, Severus tried to glare for real but Phoebe didn't notice or choose to ignore him. "I'm happy to finally put our disagreement behind us, it's just sad that something like this have to happen. Don't you think so, Professor?"

"Quite." Severus had to force his face muscle into a sneer when Phoebe turned and beamed up at him, her warm blood red eyes sparkled with happiness and there was no doubt in Severus's mind that Potter's female personality was quite beautiful but he found himself missing the masculine version.

"Professor, now that you are here would you like to do the questions? I know there won't be a hit for some time but we plan on opening two shop after school, one in Diagon ally and another down in Hogsmede and we'll keep this one at school too and they will work together." Severus thought it over; the sooner he did it the sooner Albus would stop pestering him to do it and I wasn't as if he expected any hit so it couldn't hurt any.

"I might as well, Headmaster has been pestering me constantly…" Hera giggled and signaled to Selene to do it as she was unaffected by Severus's presence.

"This way Professor, I'll even give you a discount as you will have to wait a year for a hit." Severus didn't bother telling her otherwise and simply followed her to the table and when they sat down the walls came up. "Alright, we have four courses. One week and two weeks where the wall with be removed the last day and the day before that we make it see-through…." Severus tuned her out as he glanced at the courses, in truth he shouldn't care which he took but something stopped him from picking the one week and his eyes were drawn to the one with three months.

"That one."

"Alrighty… that is normally three gallons but because of the waiting time we'll say one gallon. Meeting beyond that or if you should want to prolong course cost one gallon per meeting – half from each. Any question?" Severus shook his head, wanting this over fast. "Right, here is the scroll and as I don't need my office at the moment you can stay here. You should know that the pen and ink are charmed so you enter a trance and the ink writes only truth, I will allow you to read through it but know that it is already scanned into the Profile Book by then and can't be changed unless you have a failed course at where you will do the scroll again. Alright then?" Severus nodded with a sneer but Selene merely smiled and gave him the pen and scroll. "See you later." Selene walked out and joined her sibling, Phoebe had just told about Kiomé but Hera did a 'Later' to her so she settled for waiting till bed before knowing. They talked about their new shops and it was decided that Phoebe would be running the one at Hogwarts while Selene and Hera would take the one in Diagon ally as that one was sure to be busy at such a public place and Metis would take Hogsmede. When all three shops were open they would change the way they were connected to the book and scrolls so they had a set each which was connected to share information.

"Shouldn't he be done by now?" Metis turned to the walls before looking at Selene, who waved her hand dismissingly.

"He's reading his answers … I'm sure he's shocked by some of them."

"That's almost cruel of you Sel, he'll burst a blood vessel!" Metis laughed at Selene's smirk and sideway glance at him. "You minx, you did it on purpose!"

"I have no idea of what you're talking about." Selene stood up and walked out with a wave over her shoulder. "Night everyone."

"I'm right behind you, Lene. Night guys…" Hera walked out, leaving a relaxed Phoebe and nervous Metis.

"I'll go too, Phee … I really don't wanna be near Snape without the girls here. I'll see you later, I'm going to soak in the tub and I'll silence the room so I won't wake Kiomé." Metis stood and walked to the door but he stopped to look back at Phoebe, who was faced away from him looking at the walls around Severus. "Heey Phee… I'm really happy you will get a true blood relative but you should still try to find love. She'll need an older figure more to look up to and you need one to be there for you – with some things a friend is not enough, not even family. You need a closer connection with someone … promise me you'll try?" Phoebe was looking over her shoulder at Metis with a caution look in her red eyes.

"What are you trying to say?"

"I'm trying to get you to see that you need to find a life partner, a lover won't be enough for you. You need to bond with someone, I know you can't sense it but anyone like me could tell you the same. You see, your magic tried to bond us two last night. It longs for a partner to ground it. Your only problem is that you need to find a submissive or it won't work and you should properly know that if you want any kids then you need to find your soul mate or turn a wizard."

"I know Metis, I promise to try harder. I'll see you later…" Metis waved before walking out, Phoebe turned back to look at the walls but they were still there – it seemed that Severus was reading more than once. Phoebe began to braid her long hair as she intended to sleep like a girl today and she didn't fancy getting suffocated because she had inhaled a lock of hair, it took more than five minutes so she spelled her vintage dress into thin sweat pants and a tank top there seemed to be too small for her as it shoved a flat and lean belly as the pants hung low on her hips. She had just laid back when the walls dissolved so she pretended to be sleeping to see what Severus would do but her plan was ruined when the hallway door opened and a sobbing Kiomé ran in and almost flew into Severus's chest, arms going around his waist.

"Oh Professor! I had the most horrible dream; sis was shouting that she had changed her mind and that she hated me!" Phoebe was just about to jump up when Severus surprised her by going down on his knees so that he was in eye level with the crying girl.

"Miss. Wong, what was it your sister threatened to do if you ever thought or spoke derogatory about yourself? Your sister loves you already very much and I know she would die for you just as I know she will when she's Potter. You are lucky to have her look after you, do you understand? Don't doubt her or you really aren't worthy, alright?" Kiomé nodded seriously at Severus, who rubbed the tears away. "Now, let me get your sister and then it's back to bed, young lady."

"Yes Professor. I'm sorry; I know all that … where is my sister?" Kiomé looked around but couldn't see her as the couch's back was hiding her from view; Severus stood and walked over to stand beside Phoebe who still pretended to be deeply asleep. Severus bend at the waist and gently lifted the small young woman into his arms, Phoebe pretended to snuggle in sleep closer to Severus – wanting that soothing scent to fill her. "Oh … there she was … I'll open the door!" She silently did and stepped to the side so Severus could walk through before she closed the door behind them; she ran over and opened the bedroom door. Severus walked inside and looked around, he knew Kiomé slept in the coffin but besides the double bed in which Metis was sleeping he could not see any other bed and when Kiomé calmly walked over and pulled the covers back on the other side of the bed Severus had no choice but to place her there. When he was sure she was comfortable he turned to a smiling Kiomé, lifting her he carried her like he had just carried Phoebe and Kiomé laughed in delight as she wrapped her thin arms around his neck and snuggled into it. He gently laid her in the raised coffin, she snuggled into her pillow with a content hum and Severus tried not to smile at the cute girl. He placed the blanket over her before charming a wall in the middle of the room so she would have to walk through the other bedroom to get out, he spelled the wall to be a big painting of a forest filled with pixies and glowing lights in the branches so her room would never be dark if she woke up in the night, he made the carpet very thick and to simulate a forest ground filled with moss and he left the three other walls bare but he charmed the ceiling so that it instead looked like a clear sky filled with stars and a moon. "Thanks Professor, it's perfect. Can you make a wall to look like coral reef with lots of beautiful sea animals?" Severus lifted his wand and did the wall right across from the other so they were on each side of her as she laid there in her blue coffin, when he saw the color he frowned and thought for a moment before spelling it black with diamonds arranged so you could read; Given to me by my sister. He made the beddings soft princess pink and Kiomé gave a delighted squeal.

"Go to sleep, brat. I'll see you tomorrow after lunch so make sure to do your homework and tell your sister to meet me during lunch and we'll go together to the Headmaster, can you remember that?" Kiomé nodded before making a silent 'come closer' motion and Severus bend down and before he knew it Kiomé had given him a hug and quick kiss on the cheek. Severus growled in warning but Kiomé just looked innocently up at him from her pillow, Severus gave her nose a gentle flick before turning and walking out. He stopped for a few seconds to make sure Phoebe was alright, he saw that she had turned and was spooning Metis with the blanket down by her waist as she had thrown her leg over Metis's and by that pulled the blanket down but she didn't seem to be cold so he walked out and left the rooms to return to his own cold rooms.
