From Chapter 1: "To the Great Hall, Hogwarts needs more Harry Potters to drive Dumbledore nuts." Harry said and watched Hermione and Neville shift their riders away. He held hands with Tonks, who he decided he would call Dora, and Fleur, and they appeared in the Great Hall.
Chapter 2
Hogwarts, Great Hall, 0032 hours
Harry with Fleur on his right and Dora on his left had a huge smile as he shouted. "My goodness we all made it to Hogwarts safe. I love it when a plan comes together. We didn't even have to fight nearly fifty Death Eaters who were waiting for us to fly out of the Dursleys. I must say that was a grand plan someone came up with. I mean it was absolutely tee totally unnecessary, and hard on you old folks that had to stay up so late. I'll not mention how tactically unsound the first plan was that put us in the air outnumbered. And Albus five will get you a hundred that Dung opened his mouth as to when we were leaving."
"Harry …" Dumbledore started.
"Dung fess up, or so help me, I'll fill you with so much Veritaserum that you tell me things you did as a baby. Telling a frigging drunk something important is totally asinine." Harry interrupted Dumbledore and he glared at Fletcher.
"All right I did go to the pub and may have let something slip," Dung cried.
"Bullshit, tell them about the ₲100 you were paid for the information and who paid you." Harry yelled and his white wand shot into his left hand.
"It was Snape. And he promised me another ₲1,000 for each one of you that was killed," Dung shocked Dumbledore and a few others with his words.
Mad Eye Moody shouted, "Avada Kedavra," and Mundungus fell over.
Harry glared at Dumbledore and calmly said, "That's two, old man, plus a woman in your group that tried to poison me and Hermione. There will be a reckoning once this is over. However, for now, I think I'll ask only those under 25 to join me if they wish. Madam Bones don't take that wrong because I trust you, Mad Eye, Remus, Filius, Minerva, and Shack. That being said, I'm sure what we may do you might consider less than legal. However, if you really want to fight Voldemort you're welcome to join us. The others I don't know well enough to trust. If you want to know how I knew what Dung did, he was broadcasting his thoughts. I guess being pissed off that everyone came here alive caused that."
Harry turned to Ron and stated, "Ron, you refused to train earlier so you could fuck around playing chess and goofing off. It's too late now for you to catch up. I will not let you put one of the other's lives in danger so you're out."
A silver hare appeared and whispered something to Harry causing him to smile. The hare kissed his cheek and disappeared.
"If the old folks I named would like to join us for a planning session you would be most welcome. Fred and George it's time to put your skills to use," Harry said and led the group out of the Great Hall.
He was surprised to see Madam Bones, Mad Eye, and the other adults he named join him. As they cleared the Great Hall doors, Harry wandless shut and locked them. Susan, Padma, and Ginny each took two adults while Neville and Hermione took Fred and George. Harry took Dora and Fleur's arms and shifted to the Room of Requirement.
Harry got everyone's attention by saying, "Ok, in this room time stands still. The room will give us almost everything we ask for. Now it's late, so we'll catch about eight hours sleep then after breakfast plan our raids. This is just like the dorms. The boys are on the right, and the girls are on the left. We have individual rooms as long as you're of age who you sleep with is none of my business. Fleur, Hermione, and Luna, I need to talk to you three."
Harry then dropped his glamour shocking most of those in the Room of Requirement. "Hey, this is what I was supposed to look like if my parents had raised me. The skinny git was caused by Dumbledore sending me to the Dursleys where I was almost starved."
Harry's Bedroom in the Room of Requirement
Harry and the three ladies were setting on his bed. "You're here because you all have an interest in becoming more than just friends. Hermione and Luna, Fleur and I became close friends during the Triwizard Tournament. We hesitated to become more than friends because of the age difference which is actually nothing now. But a 17-year-old witch with a 14-year-old Boy-Who-Lived and the press would have gone wild."
Fleur picked up Harry words and added, "I tried with Bill, but he's a mama's boy. Molly is a closet pureblood bigot, and I'm a mixed breed. Hermione she wanted you for Ron because he's a lazy ass, and you would have supported him."
"Here's the situation from my point of view. I'm the head of two Ancient and Most Noble Houses and can have more than one wife for each. It has to do with me being the last Potter and Black. My grandmother was Dorea Black. The truth is I need a pureblood for a Lady Black. The House of Potter only insists that I marry a female." Harry told them shocking Hermione.
Fleur told them, "I can only have girls. Let me rephrase that. The chance of me having a boy is less than two percent. I have no problem sharing Harry with you two. You're both highly intelligent and powerful witches. Spending ten months here taught me that girl sex is as prevalent at Hogwarts as it is at Beauxbatons and the rest of the wizard world."
Luna giggled then ducked her head saying, "Harry, I'll be your Lady Black but Padma, and possibly Parvati will want to join us."
Harry groaned out, "I think three is enough assuming Hermione is all right with it. The Gryffindor-Ravenclaw lines were merged with the Potters centuries ago so those titles automatically pass to the next Potter heir. However, that heir must be a male so the name stays alive."
Fleur told them, "Well in the case of the female being the last of the line, she can be a concubine, and her son will take her family name. I think that's the case with the Bones family."
"I don't…" Harry started but was interrupted by Hermione.
"I never dreamed I'd say this, but I'm in and will be a Lady Potter. I have what I always wanted two sisters and a husband. I've loved the git sitting here since first year." Hermione then tackled Harry and kissed him.
Luna and Fleur followed her lead. Harry knew he was in heaven.
Luna cracked them up saying, "I have daddy's permission to marry after I turned sixteen, so I want a wedding tomorrow. Oh poo, I meant after breakfast. I'll ask the room for a dress and get Daddy here. You'll need to do a portal thingy Harry."
Fleur looked at Hermione, who nodded and asked, "Will a triple ceremony work? And how many portals can you do, husband to be?"
A shocked Harry managed to croak out, "A triple ceremony works for me, and I can make as many portals as we need. You could have the elves pop them here tonight if you want."
Hermione asked, "Harry, how many elves do you have?"
He shrugged and answered, "I don't know. I think Dobby might."
"Dobby"
"Yes Miss Mione."
"How many elves does Harry have?"
"Lots"
"How many are lots?"
"More than one hundred and less than three hundred, lots."
"Where are they?" Hermione asked getting a bit frustrated.
"Harry sir habe properties all ober the world. He be habing nine manor house, twelbe farms, 23 bacation homes, and five islands Miss Mione." Dobby said getting nervous.
"Dobby it's all right, she will be Lady Potter tomorrow as will Fleur. Luna will be Lady Black also tomorrow so I need someone to take care of Fleur and Luna." Harry told the elf and patted him on the shoulder.
Dobby nodded and popped away.
Harry told his ladies, "When he starts using b's for v's he's getting nervous. His English has been getting better."
The ladies kissed him good night and went to their rooms, and Harry showered and went to bed. Around five hours later he sat straight up and said, "Dear Lord, I'll have three wives in a few hours." He promptly passed out for another two hours until Dobby woke him up for breakfast.
Hermione, Fleur, and Luna came to his room as he was putting on his boxers.
Luna's eyes got big and the others heard her gasp, "Oh, my."
Hermione giggled out, "It made Mad Eye, Remus, Arthur, Bill, Shaklebolt, the twins, Neville, and Ron jealous."
Harry stuttered, "Y-y-you could have knocked you know."
"Suck it up husband to be," three voices replied and Harry groaned.
The room had set up a long table for breakfast, and it was served like a normal Hogwarts meal. After he ate Harry went to talk to Madam Bones, then Remus, Minerva, Neville, and the twins. His ladies disappeared, and Harry followed. He set portals up for the Grangers, Xeno Lovegood, and the Delacours. Harry then went to his bedroom and called Dobby. He told the elf what he wanted, and Dobby nodded his understanding.
Harry went to the front of the room and stuttered, "L-l-listen up please. I have a bit of a surprise this morning. You are all invited to my wedding to three lovely ladies, Madam Bones has kindly agreed to officiate."
The music started. Neville, Fred, and George joined Harry on the stage that morphed into a wizard wedding platform. Minerva and Remus sat in the front row of the seats that appeared. Emma Granger, Apolline, and Gabrielle Delacour sat in the front row across the aisle from Remus. The music changed to a wedding march. Dan Granger led Hermione down the aisle followed by André Delacour and Fleur. Xeno Lovegood and Luna followed the two soon to be Potter ladies.
Harry didn't know who said, "Only Harry Potter would get married then start a war for a honeymoon."
As Amelia performed the ceremony, even the Grangers could see the magic that bound Harry, Hermione, Fleur, and Luna. It started between Harry and each of the girls the encompassed the four. It started as Harry slipped the wedding ring on Hermione's finger and increased as the engagement ring followed the platinum wedding band. The magic increased as Harry did the same for Fleur and Luna. Harry silently thanked Dobby for bringing him the Potter and Black rings from their vaults. Harry didn't know before Dobby told him that a family elf could pop straight into their vault. Of course, they could only remove what their master told them to.
Everyone heard the Phoenix song and saw Hedwig morph from an owl to a beautiful white Phoenix and land on Harry's shoulder then spread her wings to encompass his wives. They watched in awe as she rubbed her head on Harry's right cheek then flew up and disappeared in a flash of fire. Harry kissed Hermione, then Fleur, and finally Luna. With each kiss, the magic in the air increased and reached the point that it was almost stifling.
In Malfoy Manor, Voldemort suddenly felt like he was burning from the inside out. The pain was worse than when he had possessed Potter last year. Suddenly, he lost his last two meals. He voided his bladder, and a yellow wet spot grew on his sheets. Last his bowels loosened and he messed himself. His head throbbed to the point he couldn't see. However, the worst thing was happening, and that was his magic was weakening. Without hesitation and with no thought about his Death Eaters he began to shore up his magic by drawing theirs through the dark mark.
Harry, with Hermione on his right and Fleur on hers, turned to face the audience. Luna moved to his left side. Madam Bones introduced Lord Harry Potter-Black, Lady Hermione Potter, Lady Fleur Potter, and Lady Luna Black.
Harry stated, "We'll have a feast and small party tonight, but we have a war to plan. I do need to talk to my new in-laws, however. Our first target is Malfoy Manor, and yes, I know where it is. I tagged Snape, Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and several others with goblin tracking charms. If the old folks will come up with a plan, the youngsters need to get the twins up to speed on shifting. Fred, George that red door is a full potions lab, and it will give you anything you ask for."
Harry led his ladies and in-laws to his expanded suite. Harry explained what had happened to the Grangers.
Emma Granger laughed saying, "Harry you never had a chance. Since November of '91, every letter from Hermione has been Harry this and Harry that. I'm not sure I'm ready to be a grandmother yet, but if it happens, it happens."
Apolline Delacour told them, "When Harry saved Fleur and Gabrielle from the lake it surprised me that they didn't end up married shortly thereafter. Harry saved Fleur from a real danger during that damn tournament. Normally, her Veela blood and magic would cause her to bind with her savior if they were compatible. Although he also saved our Gabrielle she was in no real danger, and he had already saved Fleur. Fleur explained that the British media would rip them up since at the time Fleur was 17 and Harry 14. Fleur, we are so happy you didn't end up with the mama's boy. "
Xeno smiled and said, "Luna told me in '93 that one day she would marry the leader who would change our world for the better. Then last year she asked for permission to marry before she turned 17. Luna 'sees', for lack of a better word, probabilities of what could happen in the future. Her mother had that ability, and her aunt and great grandmother were true seers and have made prophecies."
Luna looked at Fleur and giggled. "Fleur, do you remember that two percent we talked about?"
A surprised Fleur answered, "Of course."
"Those women were probably married to a Mage, and our Harry is a Grand Mage, so I think you may be surprised. Besides Harry Potter doesn't do normal." Luna stated in her dreamy voice that fooled many who didn't know her.
They continued to talk and made the decision that the Delacours, Grangers, and Xeno would remain at Hogwarts until the war was over.
Xeno's question to Harry shocked the group. "Harry, have you had an heir test?"
"No, the Potter vault has a family tree in it," Harry replied and frowned.
Xeno told them, "I see, but what about your mother's side. First generation witches usually have magic in their ancestry. Hermione, I would suggest you also have the heir test at Gringotts. Harry if what I've heard is true you have defeated Voldemort at least three times. There is a high probability that magic has made you Slytherin's magical heir. Since you destroyed Tom Riddle's body as a baby it may have happened then."
Hermione was bouncing next to Harry as she exclaimed, "Harry if that's true, then you own and control Hogwarts, as the heir to three of the four founders. You could change and add to the wards, disband the Board of Governors, and remove Ministry control over the school."
Harry laughed and stated, "I could sack Dumbledore."
"Harry!" several voices yelled.
"Ok, could I at least threaten to?" Harry asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
The group then joined the others who were planning the raid on Malfoy Manor. The planning group was arguing over the best way to take down the wards.
"Ok folks you need brought up to speed," Harry told them. "You aren't considering that those of us who can shift can go through any wards and not be detected. Taking down the wards isn't necessary and would warn those inside the manor. Furthermore, if we couldn't shift we could use elves to take us inside the wards. They may not be able to harm anyone there except in defense of their master, but they could get us through the wards. What have you planned for attacking the manor?"
Mad Eye told them how they could hit the manor with blasting hexes to blow the doors open, so they could enter and take the fight inside.
"Dan, would you brief the planning group on C4 and Claymore mines please?" Harry asked.
Harry left Hermione and her parents with the planning group and went to the DA members who were training Fred and George. Harry pulled Dean, Seamus, Dora, Justin, and six others with Muggle backgrounds. He took them to the valley that held the cave Sirius lived in. He was surprised to find out that four of the group was familiar with guns. Seamus and Dean took to the grenade launchers like ducks to water.
Harry had previously charmed the AK47s to be recoilless and silent. The magazines were ever-filling, so they wouldn't run out of ammunition. The Claymore mines were quadrupled in power and the number of balls they threw out. Dora and Justin took to them like Seamus, and Dean did to the grenade launchers. The other six truly like to shoot the AK47s. Harry decided it would be him and his ladies who would place the bombs around the manor. After four hours, Harry took them back to the Room of Requirement. He then took the best of each group, and ten wizard raised students back to the valley for training.
Dora taught Susan, Hannah, and Fred to use the Barrett M82 sniper rifles. George liked blowing things up so Seamus trained him. When the training session ended George exclaimed, "That was awesome."
Harry smiled then turned serious saying, "Remember that the Muggle Army here has over 250,000 active and reserve troops. This does not include the Navy, Marines, or Air Force. That means the Army alone outnumbers us about five to one. These weapons are nothing compared to what they have."
Fred jumped in with, "Dad never said anything about them having an army."
Hermione answered, "Harry and I knew more about Muggles, by the time we were five years old than your father does now. I doubt that many wizards know that the population of London is over seven million people. Just the Muggles in London outnumber all the British wizards over 100 to one. The population of the United Kingdom is about 35 million outnumbering us by almost 600 to one. Voldemort is doing his damnedest to expose us to them."
Harry continued after pausing, "He may not be doing it knowingly, but if he continues killing them, it will happen, and we'll be in deep shit. Her Majesty could have Australia and Canadian troops here within 48 hours. Wizard or not I would hate to face highly trained and very pissed-off troops that outnumbered me by about 20 to one."
Harry took his ladies and in-laws into a separate room that was a pistol range. He then passed out .45 caliber pistols. He explained they were charmed to be recoilless and silent. Then he showed them how to turn on the laser sight. Once he covered safety and had them pointing down range he let them fire.
"Harry, how many rounds does the magazine hold?" Dan asked.
"Lots" Harry replied with a grin.
"Dad, that means more than 100 and less than 300 to Harry and Dobby." Hermione told her shocked father.
"Actually it means it doesn't run out of ammunition," Harry told Hermione. She stuck her tongue out at him.
Emma stated, "Harry these are illegal in Great Britain for civilians."
"Emma while that's true. However, the truth is that Mundanes like you can't see them once I charge the runes. I need a drop of blood from you and Dan so that you can see them. I also have holsters for you that only allow you to remove the pistol." Harry replied.
Harry showed them clamshell holsters and showed them how they worked. With a conjured pin, he had them place a drop of blood on a rune. Harry then removed the disillusionment charm from his pistol, which was on his right leg. Once he tied the Delacours and Xeno's pistols to them, he informed the three adults that they could now simply call the pistol to them. Seeing that Gabrielle was feeling left out he gave her a small .380 caliber pistol and showed her how to shoot it. Dan wondered how Harry had managed to not only get the weapons; also, he really questioned how the hell someone put a laser sight on a small .380 pistol. When he asked that question, the magicals said, "Magic."
Malfoy Manor, Real Time 21 June 1997, 0442 hours.
Thirty two wizards and witches appeared about one-half-mile from Malfoy Manor. Eight of them deployed away from the other twenty four. For those in the know, they would recognize four sniper teams. The shooters had M82s with adjustable night scopes and feather-light charms, and the spotters had wider angle scopes. Their job was to take out any guards. Harry had laughed at Voldemort's stupidity when Dobby told him the outside guards were trolls. While a troll was hard for a wizard to fight they weren't very bright and didn't move much. They also made huge targets. A .50 caliber round to the head and they were dead.
Harry smiled when he thought about how the goblins had helped him. He knew they were the best metal workers throughout the world. But, who would have suspected that they actually employed gunsmiths. Harry paid a good price for having all of his weapons reworked by the goblins, but it was worth the money spent. Stripeclaw arranged for Harry's group to receive communications devices that allowed them to communicate over several miles. A microphone stuck to their neck with a sticking charm, and an ear piece was put in either ear.
Harry thoughts were interrupted by Dora saying, "Six trolls down, move in when ready chief."
"Roger, ladies let's blow up a manor," Harry told his wives.
They shifted to the manor. Harry was at the west side that had the main entry. Hermione, Fleur, and Luna were at the north, east, and south sides. While the Potters were placing their bombs, Seamus and Dean readied their grenade launchers. Dora and Justin shifted in to place their Claymore mines then moved back and sent out the airborne mines. It took less than five minutes to place the C4 bombs and Claymores. Harry and his ladies pulled back.
"All right you lot it will happen in 3, 2, 1" Harry said through the comm link and pushed the button and watched the flashes that seemed to be just one.
They all heard BOOOOOOMMM as the charges blew and the dust rolled. Fred, Dean, and Seamus began lobbing grenades as fast as they could pull the trigger. Dora set off half of the airborne Claymore mines, and steel balls ripped through the rubble.
Everyone heard Harry say, "Fuck! Voldemort, Snape, and Draco got out somehow, and are at the Lestrange Manor now. Recall all unused ordinance and prepare to move out ASAP."
Harry used his link to Voldemort and found out that unfortunately he, Snape, and Draco were in the kitchen when they saw a flash of light. Not hesitating, they portkeyed from Malfoy manor to Lestrange manor. Harry also discovered the Death Eaters lost all three Lestranges and both Malfoy adults,
The assault team arrived at Lestrange Manor. Using a different tactic, Harry called in Dobby and another fifty elves. He modified the bombs so that the charge blew down and added half-inch steel ball bearings to the bombs. The team watched and counted as 25 Death Eaters apparated into the grounds and entered the house. Harry set up both anti-apparation and anti-portkey wards. Then had the elves place the bombs on the flat roof of the manor.
Harry passed out grenade launchers to half of the team. They may not be as accurate as Fred, Dean, and Seamus but could hit close.
Their communications earpieces came alive with Harry's voice. "All right people when the bombs blow, lob grenades into what's left. You with the M82s be ready to hit anything that moves. The rest of you use your AK47 and throw as much lead at the house as you can. Stay alert people and be ready to move out for home base if I give the word. We may not get them all tonight, but we can go after the others individually. Ready… 3, 2, 1."
BOOM!
Ten grenades followed the first blast in less than two seconds. After the initial blasts, grenades seemed to provide constant explosions. They could see the AK47 bullets hitting the rubble. The Lestrange wards fell, but those Harry put up remained strong.
Because of wearing night vision glasses, they all saw the ghostly spirit rise from the rubble. Suddenly, it screamed, "NNNNOOOOOOOO," then exploded. Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort was truly dead. What they didn't know was that Tom took longer to die than the others because he was draining his marked Death Eaters of magic trying to keep alive. The result was the Death Eaters all died. Many would be surprised to find Fudge and Umbitch dead the next day. Fewer were surprised to find Percy Weasley dead and a marked Death Eater.
Room of Requirement, 21 June 1997, 0730 hours
As soon as the team entered the Room of Requirement Mad Eye asked, "How did it go?"
"It was bad Mad Eye. Voldemort, Snape, and Draco managed to escape from Malfoy manor." Hermione replied.
"Shit," the old Auror said.
"Then our Harry traced them to the Lestrange manor. We modified the bombs… now the bastard and probably fifty or so of his followers are dead." Luna said with a smile.
Fleur then told the others in a voice that left no room for argument, "We are now taking our husband to bed. When we choose to get up, he can remove the time suppression on the room. My sisters and I think making things go boom may be fun but not for a date."
Harry looked at his wives and gulped out, "Yes dears."
"But Harry"
"Fred and I"
"wanted to talk"
"about how those"
"items worked."
"Fred and George they worked great, now piss off." Harry told them with his back turned and giving them a two fingered salute.
"George our youngest brother is all grown up now and would rather spend time with his lovely wives than us."
"Well Fred, if you blame him for that perhaps you need to see a mind healer. We best get on the ball our Harrykins is married, and we're still single."
"Yes bro, but so is old man Mooney. I wonder what Prongs and Padfoot are saying about that."
"Oi do you two really want a prank war with the last Marauder and the son of Prongs." Remus questioned the two pranksters.
They bowed to Remus and said no sir. Five hours later Harry and his ladies came back out of his suite. He had a smile that said everything, and all three ladies walked funny. The others kept their thoughts and comments to themselves, which was a good thing. They talked, ate, and had fun, and Harry had the room revert to normal time. They went to bed after agreeing to be up at 0630 so they could eat in the Great Hall.
Harry and his ladies were up at 0500 hours and went to Gringotts for their heir tests. The major shock was that Hermione was the heir to Hufflepuff, and Harry was the Slytherin heir. The second item wasn't a big shock until Stripeclaw told Harry that he was both the magical and blood heir. Lily Potter nee Evans was in line after Tom Marvolo Riddle who was pronounced deceased on 31 October 1981. The Potters owned Hogwarts and signed the paperwork that disbanded the Board of Governors. They also notified the Ministry that they no longer had a voice at Hogwarts.
Hogwarts Great Hall, 22 June 1997, 0700 hours
Before they left the Room of Requirement Harry told it, "Room, please seal yourself so that only I or my wives may enter. The Headmaster may no longer enter this room, unless he accompanies me."
Nearly forty people were shocked to hear, "As you wish My Lord Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Slytherin."
Getting over his shock, Harry asked, "Is there something I may call you besides Room?"
"The founders called me Cassandra, My Lord."
"If you don't mind I'll call you Cass most of the time," Harry told the room.
"As you wish, Godric called me that while the others were more formal. In truth, I am Hogwarts not just this room. Later, I will lead you and Lady Hufflepuff to the ward stone so that you may strengthen the wards and remove or add to them My Lord."
"I don't suppose I could convince you to call me Harry?"
"I will but only with family and friends Harry. But in a public setting such as the Great Hall, I will call you My Lord."
Amelia Bones told him, "You may as well get used to that Harry. You have the Potter, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin seats on the Wizengamot. Hermione has the Hufflepuff seat and will be called Lady Hufflepuff during Wizengamot sessions."
Harry shook his head and mumbles, "Great more titles."
They entered the Great Hall and the adults except for Xeno, the Delacours, and the Grangers went to the head table to join Dumbledore, the Weasleys, and others. The young set, including Dora sat around the Gryffindor table.
Ron left the head table and approached Harry and said, "Harry, I would like to join in on the training."
Harry looked at his wives then the others and replied, "Why, so you can continue to spy for the old fart? Ronald you may call me Lord Potter unless you piss me off more, then its Lord Potter-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Slytherin. Go and join the other mama's boy Bill and the old man, your master. You really should have learned Occlumency, your mind, what there is of it, is an open book. Now go away so we can eat in peace without watching you scarf food like you haven't eaten in months."
"But…"
"Ronald, go away," Hermione told the git.
"Who are you to tell me what to do, you're nothing but…" Ron ranted.
"If you call Lady Hufflepuff that word, you'll find your ass in the middle of Black Lake, now leave this table, and keep your mouth shut," Harry stated and his magic flared.
Ron may not be the brightest star in the sky, but he wasn't the dimmest either, so he scampered back to his mummy. Bill looked ready to murder Harry, and Molly looked ready to erupt.
"Cassandra please let these people know who we are, so I don't have to kill someone," Harry told Hogwarts.
"I am Lady Hogwarts, called Cassandra by the founders. Lord Harry Potter-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Slytherin and Lady Hermione Potter-Hufflepuff are the Founders' heirs and now own Hogwarts. To Lady Potter-Hufflepuff's right is Lady Potter-Slytherin, on his left is Lady Black-Ravenclaw. I will remove anyone from the castle and grounds that they ask me to. It will not be a pleasant journey and unless told otherwise by Lord Gryffindor or Lady Hufflepuff, you will not be able to return."
Dumbledore couldn't keep his mouth shut if his life depended on it, so he had to interject himself into the conversation. "Harry we have to talk."
"First it's Lord Potter-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Slytherin to you old man. Second the people at this table were up late last night doing your fucking job. Between us, we probably killed 70 or so Death Eaters and Voldemort. We are going to eat and the next son of a bitch that bothers me will find himself in the English Channel. Cass did I make myself clear?" Harry roared and the entire Great Hall felt his magic.
"Perfectly clear My Lord and I would add that it is over 100 miles to the channel. Hitting the water at over 120 miles per hour would not be a good thing for them. Their chance of survival is less than one percent. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore I will say that Phineus Nigelus Black has been replaced by you as the worst headmaster in Hogwarts long history."
The kiddie group, as Fred named them, took their time eating and making small talk. This was in part because they knew it was pissing Dumbassadork off.
From the head table the heard Ron yell, "Oi, I wasn't done yet."
"You've had more than enough, but I'll give you what you deserve."
A trough appeared in front of Ron, who yelled again, "What the bloody hell is this?"
"You eat like a pig, so from now on you will be fed pig slop. I'll change your bed to a mud hole so you'll feel a home. Unfortunately, your parents don't seem to have taught you manners or how to act in public, however, since this is a school I can help with that."
Ron fumed and glared at Harry and Hermione. They smiled back and continued eating at a leisurely pace and chatting with their friends. They finally finished their food but were sipping their tea.
Dumbledore thought he had had enough and roared, "Mr. Potter my office now!"
"Cass, remove Dumbledore as Headmaster and install McGonagall as the Headmistress. Headmistresses, if you want your Deputy to remain as a head of a house, then please select two Deputies. Old man if you think I'll go anywhere with you and give you the chance to obliviate me again you're wrong. Trust me when I say I just saved your life for the second time. I'm beginning to think that curing your hand was a mistake." Harry said and saw the shock on several faces.
"My Lord it is done. His items are outside the Great Hall door. Shall I remove him from the grounds?"
"Not yet, and thank you Cass, now ask your questions old man then we will talk about how you fucked over me the last fifteen plus years." Harry told Dumbledore in a voice that would freeze boiling water.
They were interrupted by owls delivering the Daily Prophet and a white Phoenix flashing in above Harry and landing on his shoulder. While that was a surprise, Fawkes flashing in and landing between Hermione and Fleur shocked the Great Hall.
The Daily Prophet headlines screamed:
Voldemort Dead and Lestrange Manor Destroyed 26 Death Eater Bodies Recovered
Malfoy Manor Destroyed 67 Dead All Carry the Dark Mark
Fudge and Umbridge Found Dead Both Carried Dark Mark
Several Prominent Purebloods Found Dead Carrying the Dark Mark
Death Eater Death Toll Reaches 317 Including Those in Azkaban
23 Wizengamot Members Dead All Had the Dark Mark
Amelia stood and said, "Harry, I'm sure the Ministry is in disarray. I'll contact you as soon as I can. Moody, Tonks, Shaklebolt, and Arthur we need to go and try to straighten out the mess this will create." She looked at Dumbledork and said, "Albus your presence at the Ministry is neither needed, nor wanted."
"Minister he won't be going anywhere unless it's the English Channel. You may use the floo near the Gryffindor table."
"Thank you Cassandra but I am not the Minister." Madam Bones replied as she walked toward the floo.
"Madam Bones, Lord Potter-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Slytherin controls 28 Wizengamot votes. Who else would he want as Minister since he knows the old goat can't control you?"
"Harry we'll talk later," Amelia said as she threw powder into the floo and disappeared.
"Lord Potter-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Slytherin, I must get to the Ministry," Dumbledore stated.
"Not a problem Dumbledore, after you answer my questions. The first one is, why did you put me with the Dursleys? No bullshit this time about blood wards that didn't work." Harry said with a smile.
"I needed you beaten down and dependent on me for the greater good," Dumbledore said blandly as if he was under Veritaserum.
"What was your grand plan for me?" Harry asked no longer smiling.
"Severus Snape and I would set you up to die after you got Ginevra Weasley pregnant. Your death would get rid of one of Tom's soul pieces. I would kill Voldemort and become a hero again." Dumbledore said in a neutral voice and face.
"Who besides Snape was in on your plan?" Harry questioned taking the same tone.
"Molly Weasley, she could brew the love potions needed for you and Ginevra. She also controlled Ronald and told him to befriend you, so he could give you the love potion if Ginevra wasn't able to." There was now no doubt in anyone's mind Dumbledore was a right bastard, and under the influence of something forcing him to tell the truth.
"Well that didn't work. How much did you steal from me?" Harry asked shocking the room again.
"Almost a million galleons, I needed the money more than you did." Dumbledore did try not to answer that question but failed.
"Not that they're the least bit greedy like Ronald, but I think my three wives would disagree with that Dumbledork. What is the greater good you keep speaking of?" Harry asked while winking at Luna.
"The greater good is that I rule the world as Gellert Grindlewald and I decided to do years ago." Dumbledore answered proudly.
Harry then asked Dumbledore to list all of his bank accounts to ensure he got everything the old man owned. He then turned the questioning to the Weasleys, and they found out they were played for fools and controlled by the old man. The exception to that was Molly, who willingly followed Dumbledore and even made suggestions. Arthur and Bill were under compulsion and loyalty charms for years. Dumbledore didn't hesitate to obliviate those who disagreed with his decisions.
Harry asked already knowing the answer, "Dumbledore which of the Unforgivable curses have you used?"
In his monotone voice, he replied, "All three of them."
"Cass, lock Dumbledore in the dungeon while I decide if I should take his magic. No one is to see him, unless I authorize it." Harry requested.
"As you wish My Lord," the castle replied, and the old man disappeared.
"Thanks Cass," Harry said with a smile.
Harry directed his next statement to McGonagall. "Headmistress, I would suggest every Professor and student be checked for charms cast by Dumbledore. The school will pay for this, and you'll find with Dumbledore gone that your budget will have tripled. This school is yours to run but with the fact the owners want only the best education possible. This means classes will be taught to the ICW standard. Hermione, Fleur, Luna, and I would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience."
22 June 1997, Ministry of Magic, 0830 hours
The Aurors on duty were now over their shock of Voldemort being dead and Madam Bones alive. Croaker, the head of the Department of Mysteries (DOM), wasn't at all surprised. He reminded the Aurors that all they had to do was to look at the wall of honor and see that she wasn't shown as being deceased.
Amelia was all business, "Croaker. What can you tell me about Fudge and Umbitch?"
Croaker smiled at her slur on the Undersecretary's name and replied, "Both were marked Death Eaters, and both were drained of magic and made less than squibs. However, this is the same condition we found all the others in that weren't at the Lestrange or Malfoy Manors. My theory is that Voldemort tied his followers' magic to his and used them to try to stay alive."
Amelia smiled and told her friend, "That's in line with the debriefing I received from those who took his ass out earlier this morning." Amelia put up several privacy wards and continued. "That bastard made seven horcruxes Croaker. The second-time Potter killed him or the man he possessed, he fled immediately. This time it took long enough that Harry, and the others, thought they missed him again. At Malfoy Manor, their anti-portkey and anti-apparation wards weren't strong enough to hold him. They attacked from the ground trying to bring the manor down on the bastards. He escaped taking Snape and Draco Malfoy with him."
Amelia paused and added, "We can't figure out why Voldemort would take Draco of all people. The kiddie group learned fast, at the Lestrange's they attacked from the roof down and the ground up and got the bastards."
Croaker laughed. Amelia frowned so Croaker said, "I don't know how to put this other than to say Snape was plowing Draco according to how the bodies were found. It looked like Snape had Malfoy bent over a table. Voldemort probably grabbed his Potions Master while watching them, and Snape held on to his lover. Voldemort could have been whispering encouragement to Snape. Snape was still attached to Draco, and may have grabbed him to keep his bits attached. I don't think the public needs to know about the number of ball bearings and bullets we found and disposed of. When I was called in, I could still smell the C4. Unless someone twisted an ankle I doubt if any of the good guys and gals got hurt."
When Amelia didn't respond, Croaker continued, "Whoever the snipers were they took the trolls out with a single shot between the eyes. I suspect Barrett M82s in .50 caliber were used. Those are highly expensive weapons. There was also evidence of grenade launchers being used at both places. At the Lestrange's, they added in smaller bore weapons, probably AK47s, based on the bullets I saw retrieved. This was a well-run and executed operation and to hear you talk like Potter run this operation makes me wonder how good he could become."
Amelia spoke up this time. "I doubt we'll ever find out Croaker. He just married three young women. Lady Hermione Potter-Hufflepuff nee Granger the smartest witch in years was the first. Lady Fleur Potter-Ravenclaw nee Delacour, Triwizard Tournament from Beauxbatons three years ago was the second. Last, but by no means least, is Lady Luna Black-Slytherin nee Lovegood a Ravenclaw and at the top of her year. I expect him to disappear since he hates the popularity and is a very private young man. However, to answer your unasked question Harry trained and led the group and the oldest one in the group was Auror Tonks. The year Umbitch was at Hogwarts Harry trained a group that got the best scores on their OWLs and NEWTs in the last 100 years."
They were interrupted by Kinglsey Shaklebolt and Amelia took down the wards.
"Boss you need to turn on the wireless Harry is letting the old man have it." Shaklebolt said with a large smile on his face.
Croaker stayed in Amelia's office while they listened to Harry rip up the old man and incriminate Molly Weasley, Croaker knew before the broadcast was over that he had no chance recruiting Harry James Potter.
Croaker moaned when he heard the castle say, "Lord Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Slytherin it is the decision of Hogwarts to strip Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore of his magic. How would you like me to distribute it?"
They couldn't see Harry drop his head but heard him say, "Give it equally to those who fought with honor earlier this morning, including those who planned the raid."
"It is done My Lord. Remus Lupin I have stripped the werewolf from you. Madam McGonagall there is no longer a reason this fine man cannot teach here if he so desires. It is of course your decision Headmistress, but I think he would make a great head of Gryffindor house."
"Cassandra I agree and so does Deputy Flitwick. We feel that Deputy Sprout will also agree. Remus welcome back to Hogwarts."
Amelia and Croaker heard those in the Great Hall congratulate Remus Lupin. They also hear a certain Auror cheer then say, "Shit this power will take some getting used to."
Croaker smiled and got a faraway look on his face.
"Croaker you will keep your mitts off of my people," Amelia stated fiercely, "Tonks is my Auror and will probably head the Department of Magical Law Enforcement one day."
Harry led the group back to the Room of Requirement, so they could train and learn to control their new magic. Cass explained to the Grangers that while they didn't become magical, they would live longer than normal mundanes. Harry appointed his two magical fathers-in-law as his proxy for the Wizengamot seats. They didn't have to be told he wanted Amelia as the new Minister.
When those that were at the Ministry arrived, Harry let them in, so that they could learn to control their new magic. It became apparent that Cass had given them all except the Grangers the same amount of power Dumbledore had possessed. When that was done Harry resealed the room and he, and his wives left Great Britain. Over the years, they returned only to attend weddings, christenings, and reunions.
Epilog
Black Isle, 1 January 2050
Harry sat with his ladies and their nine children. His ladies had each bore one set of fraternal twins, a boy and a girl. Their last children were all boys two years younger than the twins. As agreed while on their honeymoon, they named their second sons after their maternal grandfathers. Fleur was the first to get pregnant and had James Sirius Potter and Lily Marie Potter. Hermione had Charlus Remus Potter and Emma Rose Potter. Luna followed three months after Hermione with Daniel André Black and Marie Susan Black. The youngest boys were named Jean-Paul Delacour-Potter, John Dean Granger-Potter, and Fredrick George Lovegood-Potter.
The children were all in their late forties, and the grandchildren were in their late teens. James as the oldest was also his father's son. When he was born his maternal grandfather, André Delacour, asked other Veela if there were other black haired green-eyed Veela and was told a resounding no. It seems that what few male Veelas that were born were all blond haired and blue eyed. Lily had her mother's blonde hair and her father's green eyes. Only John Dean, call me J.D., had his mother's eyes. Harry told them fortunately the children got their mothers' smarts and their father's orneriness and flying ability. Harry still made it a point to fly once a week with his children and 27 grandchildren who were schooled on the island.
Harry just put his hot coffee to his lips when Hermione yelled, "I can't believe that stupid bitch!" Harry's coffee ended up all over him and his part of the table.
Nine voices yelled, "Language Mum."
"What's wrong Hermione?" Harry asked while trying to clean himself up. Hermione rarely cursed and never around the children, even after they were over 25 years old.
Hermione huffed and replied, "Molly Prewett, has gone in front of the Wizengamot and claimed you owe her son Ronald a life debt. Apparently, you must appear within 30 days or forfeit one-half of your fortune."
"Which me Hermione?" Harry asked quietly.
"Harry James Potter there is only one you, and you know that." She stormed, and everyone heard her stamp her foot.
Luna winked at Harry and the children, "Actually Hermione that's not true. There is Harry James Potter, Harry James Gryffindor, Harry James Ravenclaw, Harry James Slytherin, and Harry James Black."
Fleur smiled and said, "There is currently 60 sickles in the Harry James Potter vault. By law, she cannot touch anything that wasn't there at the time the debt was claimed."
Harry asked, "Out of curiosity just how did Ron gain a life debt from me?"
Hermione huffed again and answered, "She claims that on 1 September 1992, he saved you from the Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forrest."
Harry smiled at Hermione saying, "Well, she has the date wrong. I guess since he was driving the car we escaped in he did save me during May of '93. However, what are the rules for creating a life debt?"
James answered, "The most important one is that you cannot create the situation that put your life at risk."
Harry then said, "Ok counselor, let's say you had a friend named Ron and you two were visiting another friend while you're trying to find out what is petrifying students. While you're visiting this other friend named Hagrid with Ron, Hagrid gets arrested. Before he leaves the house, Hagrid says to follow the spiders. You and Ron leave Hagrid's and see a trail of spiders going into the Forbidden Forest at night. Since you've almost been killed in the forest once that year, you suggest getting the Headmaster. However, Ron decides to follow the spiders. You have to choose between helping him and going to find the Headmaster. In your infinite wisdom, you follow Ron and keep the Acromantulas off of him until you two run across his father's illegal car. While he's driving, you still keep the spiders off the car. Who owes whom what?"
James replied, "Legally it's a wash and there is no debt."
Harry smiled, nodded, and continued, "Four years later Ron is poisoned in front of a Potions Professor who faints. You grab a bezoar out of the Professor's bag and shove it down Ron's throat and save his ass. Who now owes whom?"
Several voices said, "The bastard owes you."
Harry looked around and asked, "Who wants to go to Great Britain and visit our friends on the Wizengamot?"
Of course, everyone did since they had 29 votes. They had the Potter, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and 23 seats by right of conquest that had been held by Death Eaters. When their children turned 25 Harry assigned a seat to each of them and another to their spouse. The Hufflepuff seat was Hermione's, Fleur had the Ravenclaw seat, and Luna had the Slytherin seat. Harry voted the Potter, Gryffindor, Black, and the unassigned Death Eater seats.
The 40 Potters stepped through a portal into Potter Palace. They took their time adjustment potion and went to bed since it was just after midnight in Great Britain. The elves woke them at 0600 hours, and they met in the grand dining room.
Harry's youngest granddaughter Mia asked, "Granddad what are you going to do to them today?"
Harry smiled with a smile that made the other 39 in the room shudder and replied, "Sweetie telling you lot that would ruin the surprise."
As one the 39 Potters groaned. But he added, "Just keep in mind that in addition to our 29 votes we have several others."
James piped up with, "Yes Dad. We have the Longbottoms, Bones, Abbotts, Greengrasses, plus many more probably close to 80 percent."
Luna told her husband, "Hermione, Fleur, and I agreed that if you don't destroy that bitch this time you get no kisses or sex for a week."
The children and grandchildren roared in laughter at the look of horror on the Head of House's face. And did it again as he meekly said, "Yes dear."
Ministry of Magic - Wizengamot Chamber, 0900 hours
At 0830 hours, a portal appeared outside of the Wizengamot chamber and the 40 Potters led by Harry stepped out of it. He led the group into the chamber. The grandchildren took their places as future members and joined a few of their peers. The seat holders took their seats. The Potter seats were the top row center.
Minister for Magic Susan Bones-Longbottom led by her husband Chief Warlock Neville Longbottom entered last as the door sealed behind them. The Sergeant at Arms called the special session to order. Harry looked and Molly Prewett sat smugly at the Plaintiffs table with Ron on her right. Molly and Ron both looked three times their actual ages. It seems that even with the dementors gone Azkaban was still a terrible place.
Neville in his deep voice stated, "This special session has been called by Molly Prewett citing lack of payment of a life debt owed to her youngest son Ronald Prewett by Lord Harry James Potter. Miss Prewett, is this an accurate and true statement?"
Molly sneered smugly and replied, "It is Chief Warlock."
Neville replied, "Miss Prewett, describe what you believe caused a life debt to be formed. Keep in mind that if you are wrong that Lord Potter can name your punishment for bringing false charges against him. As the Head of several Ancient and Most Noble Houses he can demand retribution for each House."
Molly smugly stated, "In April 1993, my son Ronald saved Harry Potter from a colony of Acromantulas, and he has never recognized this debt or sought to make restitution. I want one-half of his vault as restitution as per the law."
Harry stood and said, "Chief Warlock if I may save us some time, I agree to give her one-half of the contents of vault 687, which was my vault at the time, and it is still in use. Stripeclaw would you inform the court the contents of the vault and what Miss Prewett will receive."
Stripeclaw stood and told the Wizengamot, "The contents of vault 687, is now 60 sickles as it has been since 1997. Miss Prewett you will get 30 sickles or thirty pieces of silver, which is more than I think you deserve."
Harry then told the Wizengamot, "I swear on my life and magic that the memories I am about to project are true, unaltered, and accurate. So mote it be." The magic flared and Harry showed what happened with Hagrid, him trying to stop Ron, his role in getting them out of the forest safely. Then he showed what happened in Slughorn's quarters and how his quick action saved Ronald's life. Harry lit his wand to show he still had his magic.
Harry's voice turned cold, "I don't believe there was a life debt formed in the forest but there damn sure was when I saved Ronald's ass in Slughorn's office. But let's talk about life debts now. By a show of hands indicate who expected to be killed by Voldemort or his Death Eaters in 1997."
The people that were alive in 1997 raised their hand.
Harry continued, "In June 1997, I led the team that killed the Death Eaters and Voldemort. I believe that I have a strong case in claiming that every wizard in Great Britain at that time owes me and the team a life debt. Chief Warlock, please call for a vote as to my guilt in non-recognition of a life debt to one Ronald Prewett."
The vote was unamous that Harry did not owe a debt. Harry stood and stated, "Molly Prewett as is my right, I choose to punish you. You were sentenced to life in prison for your previous crimes against me. You were paroled for good behavior and the first thing you do is commit another crime against me. My punishment for this is for you to complete your sentence in a high-security cell in Azkaban. In my family's opinion, I'm being too easy on you."
Then he turned on Ron saying, "Ronald, just so you know while your roommates at Hogwarts always griped about your snoring none of us told you that you talked in your sleep. Neville, Dean, Seamus, and I knew from 1 September 1991 that you were not my friend. We knew that you were being paid by Dumbledore to spy on me. Later, we let Fred and George find that out as well. What I didn't know was that the old bastard was paying you from my vault. Of course, I got it all back with interest. Messing with a Marauder or the son of one was then and is now not a good idea. Chief Warlock you have the floor sir."
End Flashback
Potter Manor 30 June 2167, 2238 hours
Harry thought, my ladies these last three weeks have been the loneliest of my life. Being without you is far worse than being in the cupboard for almost ten years. I'm coming to join you my loves. Harry James Potter closed his eyes and with a smile on his face began his next great adventure. He left behind nine children, 27 grandchildren, 81 great grandchildren, and 243 great-great grandchildren. The houses of Potter, Black, Delacour, and Granger were no longer in peril of ending. They had led the wizard world into the new millennium, and wizards now stood with mundanes and worked shoulder to shoulder for a better world.
The crypt that held the remains of Harry, Hermione, Fleur, and Luna stated:
Here Lies the Leaders of the Light
They were born as:
Harry James Potter
Hermione Jean Granger
Fleur Marie Delacour
Luna Mia Lovegood
As one voice they always said their greatest achievement
Was that they were loving parents
May they rest in peace
The End
