Harry and the Girls arrived in the lobby of Gringotts, and quickly moved to Bloodpicks desk. "Bloodpick we need to talk in private, if we can."

"Certainly my Lord, this way"

When they were all in Bloodpicks office Harry started to talk "I am in a little trouble with the Ministry. They are going to try to claim my vaults, and anything else they can't think of, so you need to be ready. They should be here later today at the earliest."

"What happened?"

"Well the 5 of us went to the Ministry and there, after a short argument, and a warning they attacked me and so I was forced to comply with my threat."

"What threat?"

"I am. As the head of the house of Red are at war with the British Ministry." Harry sighed and looked at Bloodpick. "This is not going to be a bloody war, not if I can help it. But I want them to hurt. If I can help it, and I was hopping that you can help me. I need an update on my portfolio and current balance, then, we can see if we can think of anything after that."

"Very well. I have everything here, I was working on the latest additions." He pulled out a few papers and handed one to harry, "That is the current balance on your account, and this is a listing of all properties you have an investment." he handed another paper to harry after making a few noted on it.

Harry nearly dropped the first when he saw it "How up to date is it?" "up to date as of your last withdrawal." Then Harry looked at the list on the second

Harry was surprised to say the least. "I didn't think that you could amass this much in so short a time. But that can only help me. Pleas look into invest across the globe if you can, don't limit your self in any way. I know there must be many many opportunities out there for profit, the next thing is that we 5 will be going to France, I know you have a bank branch there, I will need a name of a goblin there who I can work with and trust as I do you."

"I have a Sister that works in the French Branch names Silverclaw. She knows what she is doing and I can vouch for her if needed."

"I trust you with my gold so I will trust your sister. Next we will need a place to stay out side of any major cities, but we will be staying in a hotel in Paris till we have a house. Please forward the request to your sister to look for a place that has at least 5 bedrooms."

"About the Ministry and the war. My Lord you know we are always neutral, so your accounts are safe, and the investments will be as well, but I don't know what we can do to the Ministry."

"Well first I think that we should get the word out that the Ministry and I are at war. Second since they have harmed the goblin nation just as much as all other magical races, I think that we should look into buying any loans they or their workers have." Harry smiled, "This way when I have enough I can crush them under my boot for threatening me and mine."

"My lord that will take time." Bloodpick makes notes as they talk. "The Greengrass family is a major family with the exports, but the Chang family is the major in imports. Both I would guess have loans you can acquire. They hold a major portion of the market, this would affect the magical world in a large way if they were to be brought to task so to speak. I will look into what other families have large loans that are connected to the Wizengamot"

"Moving on I would like you to look at the old list of convicted Death Eaters, and I would like you to gain control of any thing they are currently in control of. I want to crush them first, but legally. I don't want the Ministry to think I'm picking on them only. I want to hurt them all so they will surrender."

"Well I think that we should work on the muggle side of things. Magicals think that magic will solve everything, but it will not put food on your table. It might be easier to work with the local merchants and buy up ownerships, this way you can set prices as you want for the UK, and you will be the only one that can provide them with what they are demanding. By working with muggles the magicals will think that you are crazy, and overlook what you are doing. I fell that if you take control of one or two major industries that supply the magical world before they even think about trying to stop you, you move the industries outside their control."

"Ok we will do that than. Work on the muggle produce, due to the lack of magical training they could work around the lack of some comforts, but food is another thing all together." Harry paused to think "I think that is everything for now, thank you for your help. We will be in touch."

After standing the girls took Harry's hand and flashed to Paris.

XXXXX

It had been a week since the Reds as Harry was starting to think of the girls as family, had arrived in the city of Paris, after finding a nice hotel, and getting two joining rooms, with a sitting room between, they had gone shopping.

Harry had never had more fun as he did with the girls, from shop to shop they moved, buying cloths, and more and more odds and end than Harry thought that they would need, but what did he know what women needed. He payed for everything without complaint. But in the end it was his feet that complained after a three hour stop for shoes.

It was after the first shopping trip, when they got back Harry started to place wards on there rooms for protection. Nothing to fancy and nothing that would alert anyone, but the basics and very, very strong.

At the end of the first week Harry asked the girls if they wanted to go to the french version of Diagon Ally. And it only took about the time it takes to fill ones lungs for them to agree happily. The next question was where was it?

Shaking his head Harry remembered the ring, and the information was in his head. Taking hands Harry flashed them to "Ruby Row."

The French really knew how to set up there Ally, the shops were clean and strait, the street was paved and clean, and everything had a sign.

"Well ladies I think the first think you need are wands. Come after that we can go to the book store and get you 4 started, it will not be long before you 4 should start your magical training." and with a smile Harry moved down the street, It took them past a flower shop, then a book shop, and an apothecary before they found, "Marrie's" a wand shop.

When they entered the shop the first think that they saw was a older women sitting at a table polishing wands. From her left were a pile of unpolished and to her right the polished.

"Ah costumers!" the woman said with a smile "Come to get your first wands?"

"Oui" the girls cried as they moved up to the desk in a hurry.

"Ok first extend your wand arms and take a hold of these test wand." the woman pulled 4 battered wand from a row against the wall and handed them to the girls.

No sooner than they held the wands the tips lit up with a different colour matching their hairs. "humm veela, and powerful! Well girls we just might have a challenge here. I have no veela made wands at the moment and I don't expect to get anymore since the veela are not selling outside there communities anymore." at seeing their faces fall in disappointment she spoke up. "Well I do have some old wands that have not picked a owner yet we could try them first but I should warn you that there is little chance that they will work."

With that the woman walked to the back of the store and with a little shifting of a few boxes in a corner, came back with a battered blue box.

Inside the box were wands of very odd designs. Long, short, thick, thin, twisted, strait, carved, and plain. There had to be about a hundred in the box and with a sigh the woman placed it on the table and started to offer the girls wand after, wand. But nothing would respond, and after an hour the box was empty.

"I'm really sorry ladies but there seems to be no choice in the matter. You will have to visit the colony and ask if they would be willing to craft you wands."

"Where can we find the colony?" harry asked

"I have an old portkey that I used to use, but since they stopped selling to me about 3 years ago. Well I have not used it. I can lend it to you, since it will only return here when used a second time."

Harry jumped in "I have a knack for odd magics can I see the portkey? That way we would not have to bother you when we are finished."

The woman pulled an platinum wand from under the table and handed it to Harry, who took it and extended his magical scenes to feel the spells in it. It took only a moment for Harry to get the location, and after a smile he and handing the woman back the wand and placing ten galleons on the table with a quick thank you, they flashed out to the Veela colony. Hopping to get the girls custom wands.

Arriving at the colony Harry first noticed the hush around him, and with a quick look found that he and the girls had arrived in a large clearing right between two large groups of what he guessed were veela transformed. The next moment he heard screeching and yelling from all around and felt fear for his girls. His girls? When did he start thinking of them as his?

Harry turned to his left as he felt a pulse of magic, and a wave of heat, just in time to see 4 balls of fire race towards him and the girls. Before Harry could react Ruby yelled and dove between him and the balls of fire. Harry was looking into her face when they hit.

Fear, and sadness, on her face was replaced by shock then pain as a scream ripped from her body as she fell against him.

Harry saw red, nearly driving him to madness as he held Ruby in his arms and the smell of burn flesh filled the air. Something snapped.

"DOWN!" Harry said softly but the word ripped from his mouth like a canon blast. The wave of magic rolled out of him and passing trough his girls struck everyone else.

Only a second passed then all the veela found themselves on their backs or stomach and unable to get up, or even move.

Jade looked at all the prone figures littering the clearing before she rushed to her sisters side to see if she was still alive. She was but barely "Sapphire!, Pearl! Ruby needs you!"

They moved next to Ruby "Harry put her face down but hold her head steady. We are going to heal her." Harry did as she asked sitting on the ground where they arrived.

When he was settled both Sapphire and Pearl put the hands first to their lips and after a kissing each finger, that finger glowed a soft blue, then they placed their glowing fingers on Ruby's burnt back. And as he watched the burn slowly faded till it disappeared.

"Harry, it's me. You have to listen to me if she is to live. You have to turn her over and place you wand tip on her bottom lip, and open her mouth. You need to push you magic through your wands core so it will push a drop of the Elixir into her mouth. It will not extend her live but heal everything your girls can not."

Worried Harry quickly did as he was told. And no sooner than the drop hit her tongue than she gasped and her eyes fluttered open then closed again as she fell back into unconsciousness. "Hands!" Harry said and the girls all touched him and he flashed them to their hotel room.

XXXX

An old woman stepped out of the trees and looked at the women slowly getting up as what ever spell that felled them lifted when the man and 4 girls disappeared.

"Explain what happened!" she commanded.

One of the veela bowed to her when she got up "Lady we don't know, one moment we were all talking in the circle about, the idea of selling wands this year or if we keep them to ourselves again, and if we don't sell them do we still have the resources to last another year in isolation. The next thing we knew was the wards all flared and that man in red with his slaves appeared, and in fear that he was a slaver we reacted. And the young flame Veela was hit when she moved to protect him."

"I see. So as I understand it you all reacted without thinking and hurt one of our own, then this man put you all down and then left with his hurt companion without taking any of you as slaves?"

"Yes Lady."

"Find out who he is. Where he is. And why he came here and why he didn't take any or all of you."

"Yes Lady."

XXXX

Back at the hotel Harry waited in his room thinking, Ruby would live, but would be sore for the next few days. Harry didn't know what to do. How could the veela attack without provocation and with lethal magic. Why? He had no answers. What was he to do now?

"Harry. I understand that your hurting, and that your have no answers. But you should know something. The Veela have been hunted for the last twenty years. They have been used, and abused for the purebloods around the world. The only safe place they have found has been in France."

"Are you telling me they had a reason in attacking me and my girls?"

"We both know they are in the wrong, about the attack. But they didn't know what was going on. They acted out of fear."

"That was obvious." Harry Sighed "Are you saying that I should give them a second chance?"

"Well they are your girls people. They are the only ones that can teach them about their heritage. Do you think that you can find it in your heart to give them another chance?"

"I will give it some thought. And maybe give them a few days to calm down."

"That is all I can ask for."

The next day Harry took the girls back to Ruby Row, to pick up the girls some first year books for them to start reading. What was planned went right out the window when the girls found that the whole store was full of books on magic. After two hours of looking and picking out books. Who knew that books on magic, was like candy to children, or shoes to women to his girls.

After the books store Harry and the girls made a stop at the French Branch of Gringotts.

As usual when Harry entered there was a chime, and everyone looked at him and his girls, before a goblin came running up to him and bowed.

"Good afternoon my Lord. How may Gringotts help you today?"

"I have been recommended by a friend to speak with Silverclaw. If she is available, that is."

"Right this way, my Lord. I will take you right to her." the goblin bowed again, and moved off to a side door that Harry was certain wasn't there a moment before.

On the other side there was a long hall but they turned to the first door on there right and the goblin knocked, then opened the door without waiting.

"The Lord Red, to see you Silverclaw." there was a mutter and a shuffle of paper then, the goblin moved aside and let Harry and the girls enter.

The office was quite clean and almost spotless, except for three quills and a green bone dagger on the desk. When Harry and the girls entered four chairs appeared opposite the female goblin behind the desk.

Taking a seat, after the girls, Harry spoke "After noon Silverclaw, I assume that your brother has informed you about the reason for my visit?"

"Yes Lord Red, he has. And I have two manors that are suitable, but just this morning there came an odd offer about a small palace on a small island off the coast. It has been a long time since there has been a castle or palace that has gone up on market, and Gringotts wishes you to have first look, and see if it meets with your needs."

Looking surprised Harry asked "Really?"

Silverclaw passed over a folder on the palace and island. "Yes, it is a three floor palace, with twenty bedrooms, 12 baths, a ballroom, library, greeting hall, dinning hall, potions lab and an indoor pool." Silverclaw smiled at the look the girls were giving her. "The grounds cover the whole island, and house just over 50 house-elves. There is an out door pool as well as a regulation Quidditch pitch. There is a small wooded area covering half a mile in size, the rest of the land is used as gardens and farm land."

Harry smiled "How large it the island in total?"

"3 and a quarter miles, with a small inlet that sits just below the palace, with a privet lagoon and dock."

Harry looked to the girls and was bombarded by four puppy-eyed looks. Silverclaw laughed, when Harry spoke "I guess that settles it. We will take the palace and island. That is if it is within my means to pay for it."

Silverclaw smiled "Yes my lord it is. Tho it will put a serious dent in your account, and almost halt my and my brothers expansion of your investments."

"Well" Harry smiled and looked to the girls again. "Buy the palace and island, but keep investing as you are. I will be returning to work tonight or tomorrow. There should be a deposit by the end of tomorrow at the latest."

"Very well." Silverclaw made a note and then passed over papers for Harry to sign before he could take control of the palace and islands wards.

After signing Harry was given a slip of parchment with the floo address, before he and the girls returned to the hotel to pack.

"Harry?" Jade asked back at the hotel.

"Yes Jade?"

"I was... I mean we were wondering what your job is?"

"Oh!" Harry totally forgot that the girls didn't know. "Well I am in the business of creating gold. Why?"

"Well no one really knows what you do. The papers say you work for a living, but the island and palace you just paid for must have coast a lot. And well I was wondering if I could come to work with you. You know to help pay for things." The blush that grew only jumped from face to face as the others added their "Me too!"

Harry could only smile, as the feeling of pride in the girls for wanting to help, filled him. "If you all want then once we are packed and have moved into our new home, AND had a good night sleep, I will tell you in the morning what I do, and if you still want to help then I am willing to let you help."

The smiles on the girls faces seemed to light up the room as they all jumped Harry in a pile-on-hug. Then the girls dashed off to their room to pack there things in the trunks Harry had conjured for the move.

XXXXX

Packing didn't take long, and it was a quick floo to the palace greeting hall. Once there Harry felt the wards transfer to him, and he could feel the whole island and everyone on it.

There was a twin pop from there left, and when the group turned there were two house-elves standing at attention. One male and the other female.

The male spoke first. "Welcome Master and Missess, I is Crow, next to me is Ivy. I be the head-elf. If you need anything just ask."

Harry looked them over and smiled, "I feel as tho I have come home. Thank you Crow for the welcome. Ivy the girls have had a long day, please show them to the rooms so they can pick one each." He turned to the girls and nodded "Yes you each can have your own room. Since I know you will grow up to be fine young women, and will need all the extra space."

The girls squealed and quickly gave him a hug then followed Ivy up the stairs that looked like was made from polished ivory.

Turning back to Crow, Harry asked "Can you show me to the Master suite please?"

Crow bowed and said "This way Master."

XXXXX

The Master suite was almost beyond belief. There was a walk-in closet, that was almost as large as his old dorm in Gryffindor. The bath, had a four spout shower large enough for six people, with glass walls, next to it was a pool, that was the only way to describe it, it was a tub with thirty spouts with different scented soaps. There was a twenty foot wall mirror with a two person sink. The main room was large, and had a feeling of comfort. There was a large set of glass doors that lead to a privet balcony that overlooked the inlet and dock. Along the side wall was a large carved oak desk that looked like it had been carved right from a 500 year old tree, and thinking about magic it most likely had been. Last was the bed. It was huge to say the least. The bed look like it could hold ten people with room to spare.

Harry turned to Crow, and handed him three shrunken trunks, "These will need to be unpacked, please see to it. And I will need a 6am wake up, for my morning run."

Crow bowed and said "Yes, Master. I wake you at 6am. Good night." then popped away.

XXXXX

Morning came quickly, and shortly after Crow had entered the room Harry was up and changing into his running outfit.

"Does Master want me to wake the girls?"

"No, when I return please wake them, for breakfast. There are things me and the girls need to talk about."

"Yes Master." with that Crow popped out and Harry went for his morning run.

Deciding to run around the palace then down to the steps to the dock Harry could see a few of the elves moving around the flowerbeds, and could only smile. They looked happy, which was good because if they were happy that meant there was nothing wrong on the island.

Harry finished his hour long run, and returned to the palace. When he entered Crow was waiting with a glass of water and a small towel.

"Master, after you shower, I wake the girls. Breakfast will be on the table when you done."

"Thank you Crow."

Harry quickly showered and dressed, then went looking for the dinning hall. It didn't take long as he could hear the girls long before he found them.

The dinning hall, looked like it was build for 60 people to eat at a long table, surrounded by tall backed chairs. There was three crystal chandeliers that had ever-burning candles to give lighting.

"Morning Harry!" chorused the girls all sitting at one end of the table, two on each side leaving the head of the table for him.

With a smile Harry sat in the spot left for him and said "Morning girls! Sleep well?"

The girls smiles grew if it was possible, and they all started to talk all at once about there rooms. They were smaller than his but was just as lavish in comforts.

Jade finally asked "So are going to tell us?" she was almost bouncing wanting to know about Harry job.

Harry couldn't keep the smile off his face, "As we eat, we will talk." and with that said breakfast appeared on platters.

The elves didn't know what they like so they were given a variety. There were pancakes, scrambled eggs, sweet rolls, bacon, sausages, there was jams, butter, tea, and coffee. They all dug in and after a few minutes of eating, Harry started to talk.

"You all know that I have a job, but no one really know what I do. All some know is that it pays. A lot. What you should know is that my job is not normal, most magical people would think that I'm crazy, but look around you. If it was normal then do you think that I would be able to afford lining here?" the girls shook their heads and he went on. "Well my job is in cleaning up the planet. I have been working in a landfill for the last few weeks."

Ruby jumped in an asked "A landfill? Like a dump? Where people put there garbage?"

"Yes."

"What could you do there? There is nothing valuable there. That's where people put garbage." Pearl wondered.

"Well I turn scrap metal into gold, then deposit the gold with the goblins." Harry waited to see if they could guess, and wasn't disappointed.

"You have a Philosopher stone don't you? That also explains how you helped Ruby, cuz we couldn't heal her she was too badly hurt!" the look on Jades face was one oh awe, but full of smiles.

"Yes to both." Harry looked from one girl to the next making sure they knew what the stone was before continuing, "Now I know, that you girls want to help with my job, but till you get a wand, or your crystals grow larger, there is not much that you can do." the looks of disappointment was almost heart breaking, "But if you want to help then I can always start you on reading the first year material, I want to send a letter to a school that wants me to attend, to see if I can get you four in."

"You want us to go to school? Like normal people?" Pearl asked with hope on her face.

"You four are normal. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. And yes I do want you to go to school. There is so much to learn, and with proper teaching then you can do so much good in the world." The smiles the girls gave him as they ran over and gave him a group hug, was truly touching. To think that the girls never even thought that they would be allowed to go to school.

Harry hugged them all back, "Now if you four want too, then you can still come with me and watch me work, but I should warn you that it's really boring, but to help pass the time I think that you girls might want to bring your crystals and your potion books with you. I will first after setting up, how to feed your crystals, then you can get comfy and start getting ahead on the books. Does that sound good to you?"

The squeals of happiness was almost defining.

"Ok girls, back up to your rooms and grab your crystals and the potions book. Then meet me at the front door." the mad scramble out of the room and up the stairs had Harry chuckling, "Crow?"

There was a pop and then "Yes Master?"

"I will be taking the girls with me for the morning, we will be back at noon for lunch. If the plans change then I will let you know."

"Yes Master. I will have lunch ready at half past, so you may shower after you return."

"Perfect, thank you." Harry smiled and moved back to the front door just in time to see the girls running down the stairs with a book in hand and a closed fist holding what he hoped was their crystal.

"Ready to go?"

"YES!" they all chimed

"Ok hold hands!" with that Harry flashed them all back to the landfill and quickly setup his platform.

XXXXX

After arriving Harry placed the platform and had to expand it to fit the four comfy chairs and coffee table for the girls to work at.

Harry had the girls take a seat then conjured five glass bowls and filled them with water. The bowls and water were not necessary but it would help the girls for the first few feedings.

"I'm going to explain what the crystals are, and what you can do with them, then I'll show you how to feed them. Now, the crystals are not living in anyway, so saying you feed them is not quite right, but it's the best word I can find for what you do to them. The crystals are an artificial magical core. Unlike the ones in our bodies, they will not get stronger through use, like a muscle. They need to be expanded through the infusion of magic with the intent of making them larger and stronger. That;s why I call it feeding. The crystals will draw free magic from the area around you. They will charge constantly will they reach their max then stop just like your own magical core. But unlike your core it will do nothing with the magic unless you use it."

Ruby asked "Can anyone use it? Like could I use Jades or pearls?"

"Yes and no. Only some one liked to a crystal can use a crystal. Yes, we since I am also linked could and can use any of the crystals. But no one else could. But just like taking someones toy to play with it is polite to ask." The girls liked that idea. "Now to feed your crystals, to begin with place it in the water bowl in front of you. Now place you hands on the outside of the bowl and look inside your crystal."

Harry waited a moment and then continued, "In you mind think about the crystal expanding like a balloon. With that in mind I want you to try to push you magic into the crystal. It will be hard at first to get it to work, but when you have it right the crystal will start to glow. When it glows you will know if it's growing. You will start to feel tired, but that is because your cores are so young, and you have only so much magic in you. But you will grow stronger as you get older, and with the more magic you use and learn."

Harry stopped because all four of the girls crystals were blinking on and off, and he could feel that the crystals were growing. Although slowly, very slowly, but the girls were doing it.

From his pocket Harry looked at his crystal, and after placing it in his bowl of water moved back to his chair. From his other pocket Harry pulled his vial of enchanted sand.

Harry opened the vial and said "Plastic" and emptied half the vial before giving it a shake like a salt shaker so that the sand would multiply and the extra would spill out to do it's job. Harry planed to make a very very large deposit to cover what he spent on the island and palace.

After ten minutes Harry put the vial away and moved back to his chair and conjured a few pieces of parchment and then split his concentration three ways, first was the letter to Beauxbatons, asking for information to let his girls attend their school this year. Second was spent feeding his crystal that he could if he sat and watched it could see it expanding, as his magical reserves slowly bleed into it. And last was keeping an eye on the girls so that they didn't hurt themselves.

After an hour Harry had his letter to Beauxbatons, a letter to Professor McGonagall and one to Silverclaw. To the Professor he explain that due to the Ministry's interference he would not be able to attend Hogwarts, and should something change then he would have to think hard about attending.

The letter to Silverclaw was a request to get him ownership in a non-magical shipyard. He had a plan slowly taking place in his mind and the shipyard would be one of the first steps.

After the letters Harry got up and had the girls take a brake from their crystals. He could tell that the crystals were improving and told the girls so. But it was time for them to take a brake and let there cores rest or they might hurt themselves. So he had them read there potion book telling them they could work on there crystals again after lunch or if they finished the first two chapters of the book, for an hour.

XXXXX

Just before lunch Harry sent the new bricks to the goblins and looked around at the landfill. From the looks of the area, compared to the amount of gold he had taken out of it, it almost looked like it hadn't even been touched, except where things had been stirred up to get at what was underneath.

Harry flashed them home and told the girls to get cleaned up and to meet him in the dinning hall for lunch.

After a quick shower and quick lunch Harry and the girls returned to the dump. It seemed that the girls didn't mind that he was working and they were either studying or feeding there crystals, they were just happy to spend time with him there.

XXXX

Time flew by for Harry and his girls and before they knew it it was their last day together before the girls went off to school, each day Harry and the girls would spend an hour exercising, either running, swimming, or learning fencing. It had taken only two hours to explain that if their bodies were stronger and fitter then they would have longer lives as, their own magic would not have to work as hard to keep them fit. It also let their bodies control larger volumes of magic without them getting as tired.

After their exercise, was a shower following a large breakfast. Followed by the girls picking up their books and Harry would transport them to the landfill which Harry was starting to just call his work.

There he would spend the first hour letting the girls feed there crystals which started to grow faster each day as they figured out how.

After the hour of feeding it was a lesson on Occlumency for two hours, then they were let to pick any of the subjects that they would be studying at Beauxbatons. That letter had arrived the day after he had sent his, saying that there was always room for new students. Along with the letter was a list of supplies that the girls would need along with a price for tuition.

As the girls studied Harry would cast out the sand again and then turn to the ledger that he always brought with him.

The ledger was a magical tomb that self updated with the ones at Gringotts, he would look over the acquisitions of both properties and businesses, then he would open the folder that was tucked inside and pull out the papers that Silverclaw had send him every morning to sign and then send back.

Looking down the listing Harry too note that he had just over 56 million galleons in liquid assets. Which never failed to draw a smile. Then it would only grow when he got to the investments and properties. And the three companies he had started.

Properties

Red Cabin – Aspen, Colorado

All in all it was a great start. The three companies he started were all designed to work together. He wanted the shipyard so he could build a ships, he liked the thought of a very large ship that he could sail around the world with his girls, but there were none available, that were safe to use magic around, so he planned to build one.

Harry spent an hour each day drawing plans and blueprints from the knowledge from the ring. The ship when done would be about 300 ft in length and made from a special metal that he was planning to create just for the ship.

The factory was self explanatory, Harry wanted the ship to have the best technology that the world offered, but most of it did not work well or at all when around magic, unless it was shielded. Well the way around it was to create special computers and equipment that worked around and sometimes with magic. Harry had the company up and running in a matter of a week, with blueprints for computer chips and boards that were twenty years ahead of what was out in the market, and fifteen what the government had. Which didn't last long, as soon as they heard of his equipment they came running.

The power pant was so that he could power the shipyard and the factory without having to pay for the energy. It turned out that the plant that he had built was inadequate, so he dove into the ring to find plans for a superior reactor. What he came up with was a blood-crystal reactor that used one or more special crystals to focus and magnify energy by at least a factor of ten.

The power output was large enough that he was selling the extra to the French. He was already getting requests to sell his reactor to the government or at the least build a few more to refit some of the older stations that were starting to fall behind in their output.

The crystals came in different categories on the level of magnification they provided.

Splinter – one inch in length, half inch in width, factor of 10.

Shard – two inches in length, one inch in width, factor of 20.

Fragment – four inches in length, two inches in width, factor of 40.

Core Fragment – eight inches in length, four inches in width, factor of 80.

Primal Fragment – sixteen inches in length, eight in with, factor of 160.

Complete Crystal – thirty two inched in length, sixteen in width, factor of 320.

The plant used a splinter, with 1% refocused back to create a loop and an endless supply of energy.

The Crystals themselves were created from Harry's blood since it was the more magically charged blood on earth. The dangers of creating the crystals was that they used a lot of blood to form. And the spells that formed the crystals had to be maintained constantly. The blood had to be in a liquid form, but lucky it didn't need to be fresh.

Each night Harry would before bed, drain blood from his body while taking blood replenishment potions Crow had the elves brew for him. He would only take 5 potions each night not wanting to risk an overdose, which was 8 potions in a day. It seemed that there were limits to how much a person could take, even one as resilient as his.

September 1st came and Harry escorted the girls to the gates of Beauxbatons. The grounds were magnificent, and the building was as well, but he could not take his eyes of his girls, as he was more and more thinking of them as. And had even started calling them as such, much to their delight.

After a teary good by, and many promises to write, using the charms he had given them as gifts just last night. They were led away by another Veela student. One that Harry knew from his own world. Fleur Delacour. Who had been sent by the headmistress to pick the girls up.

At once the girls didn't like her, because she keeps staring at Their Harry, but when Harry explained to them in a whisper, that he was immune to the Allure, they giggled and went with her asking about a million questions and minute.

As they left Harry couldn't help but feel a whole in his chest where the girls had been. Even knowing that they would write, and he would see them on holidays, it didn't help one bit. He know knew what parents felt when their children left on the train to Hogwarts. And he didn't like it.
