Hollowed wounds: Chapter 2 Inheritance
The summer had passed with excitement; Harry had taken the Dursley's to Tokyo, Paris, and even Dublin. Harry had fun hanging out with who he called family. There was a lot to do, but harry had decided to restart his family business at Hogwarts. He looked through several names that he had right to and a lot of these kids where at Hogwarts.
It was going to be difficult with the triwizard tournament but he figured his friends would help him out. Harry also planned to confront a young witch and her dumfounded Brother; he also had some business to talk about with the Twins. Harry planed for his fourth year to be more than what was expected.
Harry had gotten all his supplies from Diagon Alley with Hermione. Harry sprung it on her then that Gringotts had sent him a letter about her family tree. The letter said that she was not a Granger at all; they would need a sample of her blood to confirm possible wizarding families. "Well that's not too bad" Harry said "are you kidding me? Harry for all we know I could be related to that Draco Pratt!" Hermione was fuming.
"Then to Gringotts, we will settle this." Harry gestured to the Goblin bank. "Oh Harry, I don't know how I am ever going to thank you for this one." Hermione said with tears rolling down her eyes "that's easy Hermione, you could always go on a date with me" Hermione was shocked at Harry's proposal. "Like a date DATE?" Hermione was starting to blush.
Harry and Hermione had gotten to Gringotts just as it was opening. "Ah Mr. Potter and Miss. Granger, How can I help you today" a Goblin who was switching the 'were closed' sign to 'now open.' "We are here to see Stitches, Family Business." The goblin only opened the door and gestured to continue inside.
It didn't take long for them to find Potter's Found Manager. "Ah yes, so you have received the letter. And I am guessing that Miss. Granger is ready for donation?" Hermione stuck out her arm. "If it will help me find my family then I am willing" Stitches just spun around and walked over to his desk.
"Blood magic is not a perfect art, so it will take time matching your blood with the other blood of wizarding families we have here" "we understand Stitches, now where is it we must go" Harry said. Stitches smiled "we have only one blood mage at Gringotts, his name is Warpednail." Stitches had taken a cell phone out of his pocket and punched in some numbers. "hello, this is Stitches, yes, let warpnail know we are go, no I can't meet you for dinner, I know, hurry up there here in my office now, love you to, bye. Woman these days, she thinks I have to spend every waking hour with her."
After a short time of waiting, a goblin with long black hair and some wicked looking Nails came through the door. "Sorry to keep you all waiting, if you will follow me Miss. Granger" he led her out of the room. "So stitches" Harry said calmly "say I wanted to restart my family Business, how would I go about doing so?"
"Well, your first step would be to contact all the girls on your list, after all your family business can't thrive without them. Your next step is to find out how to advertise them. And last would be to find a location." Stitches said without taking his eyes off his work. "Can you help me contact all the girls?" Harry had said passively.
After all the letters where finished with a mail merge spell. Harry and Stitches had returned to the main office to find Hermione waiting for him. "Sorry but I had some work I wanted to finish here." Harry said while looking into Hermione's eyes. Warpednail had interrupted "Mr. Potter, have you forgotten that you are entitled to one exotic pet?" Harry nodded "I have not forgotten, Hogwarts does not allow exotic pets."
Warpnail smiled a wicked smile "there is a way around that and you do qualify for. Hogwarts can't deny you an exotic pet because there is no wizarding family back home to take care of it." Harry was standing there "so, in other words I am allowed to have an exotic pet? Let the pet finding commence." Warpnail had escorted Harry out of the room and down the hall to a room labeled Exotic Pets. When Harry had entered the room it was empty, all but a glass bowl and a bone knife on a pedestal in the middle of the room.
"Where are the animals?" Harry questioned "they will be summoned when you spill your blood into the bowl. It's a blood magic thing" Warpnail said as if it was nothing. Harry was starting to have second thoughts about this. "There will be more than one?" Harry asked with a quiver in his voice "only if your blood summons them" Harry them picked up the knife and placed it to the palm of his hand…
"What are you waiting for? Do it already" Warpnail was growing inpatient; his comment had startled Harry which led to him accidentally cutting himself. As the blood hit the bowl he heard a crack, then a second one. Harry looked to see a small little dragon zoom towards him; it looked to be 3 feet big, 1 foot in body and 2 feet in tail.
"Marvelous that you would have a Pseudo dragon and a Succubus" Harry had realized there was another person standing in front of him. She was as tall as he was, she had bright pink hair, long horns, massive wings, and pierced nipples that were chained together with a loose golden chain. Harry didn't know what to say.
"My name is Astral, the dragon is named Spazz, and we are both here to serve you master" the voice was very seductive as it left the mouth of the succubus. "Real quick question, do you know you are naked!" Astral's face saddened "dose my Body not please you? Do you like the form of Skirt be much better master?" and with those words she turned into a young woman (still unclothed.)
Harry quickly looked away "I only meant that it would be better if you had clothes while we are in public, that I would be the only one to see you naked" as Harry turned back to look at Astral he saw a plain woman wearing a School girls outfit. "Would this be better in public master?" Astral said in the utmost teasing way.
"Good, now let's be going for I have many Ickle things to do." Harry said as he turned for the door. After a few steps he felt something wrap around his arm. Harry yanked his arm away as he turned to look at what had grabbed his arm. "Astral! I may be new to Familiars but will you please give me some space!" Harry was glaring at her.
It did not take long for harry to walk back; Hermione was having a conversation with Stitches about Goblin Rights. It took about half a milla second for Hermione to spot the succubus trailing behind Harry. "When they said Exotic pet I thought they meant a Dragon not a… Succubus!" Hermione was fuming "she fits the family Business well, plus she isn't the only familiar I have." With those words Spazz had unwrapped himself from Harry's arm. He shot forward towards Hermione only to be swatted away.
"For crying out loud! What is that?" Hermione shrieked "it's a Pseudo dragon, they are all a little ballistic, and his name is Spazz." Harry started to feel his left cheek glowing red. "Ouch!" Hermione stared at him as if was Nutters. Spazz was holding his own cheek as he limped back to Harry "wow, you can feel pain on your cheek Harry?" Hermione said with a pleasant tone which usually gave harry the impression that she learned something new.
"That would mean your life linked, Harry if he dies then you might die as well" Hermione's voice was full of concern. "Well it's a good thing he likes staying by me." Harry said as he Picked Spazz up off the ground. Hermione had turned her back to Harry "I still don't approve of the Succubus" Astral had Jumped into the conversation "I think it's because you are jealous of my position with master." Astral took this time to wrap her arm around Harry.
Hermione turned around, her face turning all sorts of red. "You will remove your hands from him or I swear I…" Hermione just stopped as the succubus looked as if being forced back off of Harry. "Bloody Hell, what did you do to her?" Harry was confused. "I see that you are more worried about your new pet than me" Hermione turned back around "just take me home already" her voice was weak.
Hermione felt like crying, she was about to cry when she felt something rub up against leg. Spazz was trying to get her attention, Hermione tried to shoo him away only for Spazz to rush up her sleeve. Hermione screamed as Spazz had gone straight up the arm and into her bra. "Get it out, get it the hell out!" Hermione was flailing. Harry was trying to get close but found it was much easier to get to the hole near the Whomping willow then it was to get to Hermione at this time.
It did not take long for Spazz to remerge; he decided to take the direct path and strait out the top of her shirt. Spazz was holding some kind of envelope in his hands, but that only made it worse as Hermione grabbed him with both of her hands. "You little snake, I would kill you now if it wasn't for… Hay! Give that back!" Hermione was almost screaming, her grip was failing and Spazz had wiggled out of it just enough for him to throw the note at Harry.
"What's this?" Harry said as he picked it up off the floor "Harry Don't, it's very personal" Hermione had given up on Spazz and walked over to Harry "really, it has my name on it, even better it's addressed to me" Harry was starting to smile. "Oh master, do you think it might be a…" astral was saying before Hermione uttered three words "SHUT UP ASTRAL" and with that the succubus' jaws had snapped shut.
"Hermione! Calm down. I will not read it if you do not wish me to" Harry said in a calm manor "keep in mind if we ever get to the point where you are willing to let me read this letter then I will accept everything writhen in it, no matter what" Harry said that as he handed the letter back. "You really mean that?" Hermione was starting to tear up. "Yes" Harry only needed one world to make Hermione cry, though they both knew it wasn't for pain but for trust. Hermione felt as if she had found the one guy that would be with her forever, her knight in shining armor.
Hermione was still not willing to show him the letter but, she was willing to have a cup of wizarding coffee with him. They left with the succubus fallowing (clothed) Spazz had taken a nap on Hermione's shoulder. Harry had gotten another bag of Galleons before they left. It did not take long for them to find everything on their list, including some custom tailored dress robes.
After they were done shopping, Harry had taken Hermione to a coffee shop. "Sorry about what happened at the bank, I didn't mean for it to sound as if I cared more for Astral than you." Harry said "then how did you mean it?" Hermione said as if irritated "well, I should be the only one able to command her, or at least I think, so I was confused when your command was forcefully obeyed" Hermione interrupted "and you were wondering how I did it, to be honest I have no clue what happened."
"you know it could be part of your blood line" Harry was trying be pull a Hermione "what the control of Daemons?" they both laughed "I was thinking the control over someone's familiar" Harry said right before taking a sip of his Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Coffee. "I guess there is some logic to that. So where are we headed next?" Hermione said hoping for a subject change "well I guess the last thing to do on my list is to visit France. Long story short, Dursleys." You're so lucky Harry; I wish I could go to such a place." Hermione said in a dreamy voice. "There is room for one more on our trip and the Dursleys won't mind, we will have to ask your parents."
After the coffee shop Harry had accompanied Hermione home only for her father to go Ballistic about his daughter wanting to go to France. "We can always visit France next year…" Hermione interjected "yes but we can't visit the magical half of France father, please his parents will be there so we won't be alone." "Yes I know that Kitten, but we don't even know who they are?" It was Harry's time to comment. "If I brought them by would you be willing to consider it?"
It was no contest getting the Dursleys to do anything Harry wanted them to do, in fact harry only had to make a phone call and the Dursleys where here in a second (more of half an hour.) "Why Petunia? Is that you?" Hermione's mother was calling out "why who would have thought you would be Harry's mother" Harry spun around to face the woman "you have it wrong, she is my guardian not my mother." "You know her?" Mr. Dursley said to his wife. "Yes, she was friends with my sister." Aunt Petunia whispered back "why if it isn't Maggie, how are you" Aunt Petunia obviously acting nice.
Harry had let the parents catch up and told the gringotts carriage to go. It was just pure luck that none of the adults found out about astral. It was easy to hide Spazz under his shirt but Astral was just too tall. So Harry made her wait outside in a bush until he knew it was ok to sneak her inside. Now would be that time, Harry knew she would be able to hide in Hermione's room without any trouble.
It turns out that Petunia's sister Lily was a friend of the family, Lily had foreseen some one hurting them and put a stop to it. The day ended with them catching up on recent events. Hermione was allowed to go to France with Harry and his "family." It was 4 days later, Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia had sent Dudley off to his private school. The adults where exited and ready for this trip, Harry was just waiting for Hermione to get here.
It wasn't long after 12 that Hermione had showed up with her parents. She was wished good luck, and then she walked inside the Dursley's house. From there all four of them had taken flue powder over to the France Potter Mansion. They entered what looked to be a massive Living room, there where couches in the color scheme of raven claw.
Harry had heard the sound of rushing water, after fallowing the sound into a hallway he discovered the entrance hall had a 3 story water fall. The water was clearer than crystal, it was if it had just came out of an ice berg. It was amazing, there where stairs leading to upper levels, there was also a Ball Room. This place was made for two reasons, class and children.
Hermione was ecstatic; the Dursleys couldn't keep their Jaw closed. Harry was done showing off for now, he planned on letting the parents go do their thing in France while he and Hermione would hit Duval Ally for there wizarding wants. For now all of them had packed it if for the night, the house elves had made them an amazing Dinner. Harry had given the master room to the Dursleys, Harry and Hermione had taken rooms opposite of each other. The Dursleys had retired early to their room; most likely Vernon was going to make a romantic move on Petunia.
Harry and Hermione stayed up for a little while "Harry, I wanted to thank you for this." Hermione said peering over her book. Astral looked in her direction from across the room, Spazz however darted out from Harry's sleeve and onto Hermione's chest. "No worries Hermione, I wouldn't want to be here with anyone but you really." With that Hermione had gotten up (putting Spazz off to the side) and walked over to Harry "no, I want to thank you" and with that Hermione had Kissed Harry on the lips.
Harry had Grabbed hold of her hips; Astral on the other hand had become enraged. She jumped up and stormed over to Hermione where she had pulled back a hand for a slam. Hermione had whispered freeze, Astral couldn't move but could watch. "Harry I feel for you, but I am not willing to go farther than this right now" Hermione leaned in to the point where she was straddling his legs. "I understand, and I am fine with taking this at your pace, I have no experience in this." Both Harry and Hermione laughed, Spazz had walked up to them only to rub up against Hermione's leg.
The two of them sat there snogging for a little bit before retiring to their rooms. Astral was given the command to be nice to Hermione and to keep her safe. Spazz had fallen asleep in Hermione's room, Harry was ok with this because he felt the warmth of he would think was breasts. In the morning, the House Elves had prepared a proper English breakfast for the four of them. There breakfast was interrupted by a knock on the door; Harry had gotten up to answer it. "Hello, are you MR. Arry Potter?" a tall blond blue eyes and skinny figure at the door. "Yes" Harry responded "I am Miss. Delacour, you may call me Fleur if I can call you Arry."
