Chapter 3 Teenage Problems Affect Everyone
Harry Potter-Phenex was 17 years old now and currently lying in his bed pondering over his life. He was around 6ft tall with Black untamed hair that came down to his shoulders and was lean but muscular. He along with his cousin Ravel and his twin sisters Juliet and Rose Potter where currently attending Kuoh High School and living in an apartment nearby in the town. Juliet and Rose where born soon after Harry and his family had moved to the underworld and where currently both 15 years old just like Ravel and the three often acted like three sisters much to Harry's annoyance. Living with three opinionated devils could be torturous at points in his life. He loved his sisters a lot but they had always been a handful and always wanted to be doing something. They both had long flowing black hair and their mothers green eyes and where rather short for there age but they just said that made there assets stand out more which annoyed Harry to no end. Thankfully they attended the same school as all of Rias' Peerage so he wasn't stuck with them constantly.
Harry is considered one of the shining stars in the underworld. He was a very powerful devil for someone his age and he had begun to grow his own peerage, the wielder of the vanishing dragon sacred gear, friendly with a goddess of death and a highly powerful Wizard to boot. Albion had always told him not to rely on the dragons power alone thus causing him to train his magical prowess and his inborn Phenex powers though he didn't have Phenex flames but dragon flames cause Albion's pride wouldn't allow it and his fire was purple instead of orange like the other members of the Phenex clan. Though he had a degree of control over wind it was only rudimentary aeromancy and his control over fire was almost mastered. The thing everyone forgot about him though was that he had a fantastic family. His parents were always there for him and made sure he grew up to be the best version of himself he could be whether it was pushing him to train or study harder or encouraging him to take a risk but most importantly they taught him that he should always find joy in life no matter how bad things got. He loved his cousins as well though Riser was a complete douche. Ravel Phenex was his second bishop and he loved her like he did his sisters though Ravel wasn't as bat shit crazy as his sister could be and Ravel seemed to like Harry more than any of her brothers as she always treated him like a big brother when she wasn't telling him what to do or how to act though he did act silly around her just to annoy her like any big brother should do. His life wasn't perfect though, Riser was always annoying him with constant bragging about his harem, the way he called Harry a half-breed and that he would marry Rias thanks to the marriage contract set up between the house of Phenex and the house of Gremory. That last one really pissed Harry off, he had grown up with Rias and they were childhood friends at least until Rias made it awkward with her sexual advances towards her. Normally he would have jumped at the opportunity to have some fun with Rias except her queen Akeno would do the same and Harry felt the same way about her though for different reasons. Rias was his best friend and they had always been there for each other, making each other laugh easily and he never had to try to impress Rias he just had to be Harry. Plus you know she had grown into a complete bombshell of a woman. Akeno however was such a tease to him and could drive him wild with the mildest of touches and movements, she made him feel his emotions in such a powerful way and she made him want to try harder. She too was ridiculously hot. Sirius did tell him once 'why not choose both' and the answer to that was simple 'what if they don't want to be in a three-way relationship' and he can't ask one of them out there best friends and Harry refused to come between that, he may be a devil but he wasn't an arsehole. Unfortunately there was that marriage contract looming over his head and while he was first in line for it Riser kept making noise saying it should be him and that they should get it done with quickly. But if he married Rias where did that leave Akeno, Harry knew he was in love with both of them and it would break his own heart to just toss one aside. He was dammed if he did dammed if didn't
"You're presuming a lot y'know" Albion told him
"What?" Harry responded puzzled by what he meant
"You are presuming too much about your love life and are acting out of fear" Albion explained
Harry pondered this before replying "True, but it's not exactly the kind of situation that is easy to consider rationally"
"Agreed, but if you don't act you could always lose both" Albion replied
Harry sighed "Well then thanks for putting even more pressure on the situation Albion"
"Anytime partner" Albion replied sarcastically
"Dick" Harry responded only Albion didn't reply this time. He knew the dragon was right, he often is, but saying you'll do something and actually doing something is completely different. Then the image of Rias marrying Riser and Akeno hating him for letting it happen flash in his mind.
Harry just sighed "Fuck it, might as well try to be with both and it'll piss Riser off at least." Harry had been teased about his relationship with Rias and Akeno for years not just from his family but from his peerage and every time he complained they just told him that it was his fault for having only girls so far in his peerage. It wasn't his fault he just chose his peerage based off their personality and potential but of course no one believed that.
He started his peerage at the age of 14 when he met the Greengrass family, more specifically their daughters Daphne and Astoria. Turns out that they where like him, half-devils, and they met when they went to Britain as Harry's farther had some business with them so he got to know them quite well over his time there. He learnt that this Dumbledore guy kept proclaiming him to be the Boy-Who-Lived though it seemed that very few paid attention to him and his statements kept getting more and more extreme like proclaiming that there is a prophecy saying so and such. Harry just figured the guy was losing his marbles as he got older and Daphne told him that it was probably the reason he kept being held back but that his mother was considered quite the hero due to how she took no names in the wizarding war and was seen as a symbol of change in the world. Daphne was the same age as Harry and appeared to be quite aloof at first but eventually opened up and Harry found her to be very clever and devious as well as a master of ice control where as Astoria was a bright and bubbly personality who was 2 years younger than Harry and enjoyed causing chaos when she could though never getting caught. After two weeks of exams and getting to know the Greengrass family and learning their devil heritage Harry asked both Daphne and Astoria to become the first members of his peerage with Daphne as his Ice Queen A/N(Had to be done) and Astoria as his Bishop and they would act as his spy's within Hogwarts to tell him about what the next generation of Wizards were like in Britain after all he may end up in a contract with one of them and he didn't want to make the wrong choice. After finishing there time in Britain his father suggested that he spent some time in France in order for him to see different cultures and Sirius just wanted to score a French bird. Turned out that the only bird scoring came from Harry though in a more unique way than Sirius had tried. A 14 year old Harry was taking a walk along the beach when he saw the most perfect looking girl he had ever seen yet felt nothing for her which she noticed as every guy in the vicinity was staring at her except for him. Intrigued she went to talk to talk to him and thanks to her Veela instincts, she could tell that he wasn't human and the two of them hit it off instantly and became good friends to the point where the Potters were invited to dinner with the Delacor's and after discussing there common problems with not being exactly humans and that the Delacor's had often dealt with devils Fluer asked to join Harry's peerage and so she became Harry's second knight. When they asked about who the first knight was they called it a secret and that he was sealed away as Harry wasn't powerful enough to control his power, truth be told Harry still didn't know if he could. A year later when Ravel turned 13 she was told that she had to join a peerage of someone in the Phenex family which led to Riser claiming that she should join his to complete his set though Ravel asked to join Harry's as his Bishop which to this day was one Harry's favourite memories seeing Riser so pissed off about it was hilarious as he threw a temper tantrum. Of course Ravel was bossy to Harry but he couldn't deny how brilliant she was and she was an invaluable member of Harry's peerage and joined him at Kuoh High School as well as living with him in the apartment in town. Harry's twin sisters also joined his peerage a few weeks later as his two pawns. He made them pawns instead of rooks because they were highly versatile and adapted to situations extremely quickly so he gave them the ability to gain temporary promotions cause he knew they could use that skill masterfully. They may be the masters of annoying him but he would always want them guarding his back and he knew they felt the same way about him.
He was shaken out of his thoughts by a bang at his door
"Big Bro hurry up where gonna be late" He heard Rose say through the door,"
"Yeah yeah gimmie a minute," Harry said as he got up and picked his school bag up and opened the door to see his twin sisters right in front of him. He did have to look down at them now that he was the same height as his farther.
"Where you already dressed" Rose asked
"Yeah I was thinking" Harry replied
"It's rude to make a lady wait you know?" Juliet said. Rose was always the sweet little sister to him whilst Juliet had definitely inherited Mum's temper and tone.
"You're right," Harry said mischief in his eyes "Sorry for making you wait Rose"
Rose giggled at his brothers antics whist her sister looked miffed
"Hilarious Brother now can we get going we're wasting time standing here doing nothing" Juliet said tapping her foot on the floor impatiently.
"Hang on where's Ravel?" Harry asked not seeing her
"She already went ahead" Rose said
"Course she did" Harry said unsurprised by her independent actions "Come on then lets get going" Harry said as he headed to school with his sisters in tow.
After enduring 20 minutes of his sisters gossiping to one another he was quite frankly looking forward to being stuck in class but he saw Kiba waiting for them at the front gate.
"Hey Harry" Kiba called
"What's up Kiba?" Harry asked curious as to what he wanted
"Rias wanted to talk to you in private at the clubhouse" Kiba told him "She sent me to tell you"
"OK then thanks Kiba" Harry replied curious as to what she wanted.
Harry headed toward the clubhouse ignoring his sister's squeals and gossiping as he left them. He got to the Occult Research Clubhouse and opened the door saying "Hey Rias Kiba said that …" Harry started but was shocked by what he saw. Rias and Akeno where in the middle of a quite heavy make out session in nothing but there underwear which shocked Harry to his core and his mind stopped working. They stopped and Rias and Akeno just smiled at him.
"Ah Harry you're just in time," Rias said mischievously "We were just discussing what to do about our little … situation"
"Yes and we have come up with an idea that would work perfectly" Akeno added on whilst Harry just stood there stupefied.
"Oh … really" Harry spluttered out. It was the best he could do right now as the two women sauntered up to him and grabbed one of his arms each.
"Indeed" Rias said seductively "as you know the two of us have been fighting over you quite fiercely over the past few years but as we have been doing so we have also been practising our 'talents' on each other"
"Long story short we want you to become 'our boyfriend'" Akeno once again finished
'Our boyfriend' that phase kept repeating itself in Harry's mind constantly every time sounding better and better. Harry just started chuckling to himself confusing the two bombshells cuddling up next to him
"You know it's funny" Harry started "I had decided to try and ask the two of you out today as well I mean everyone knows how I feel about you two"
Smiling Rias and Akeno pulled Harry to the sofa and sat down next to him resting there heads on his shoulders
"Honestly I'm surprised it took you this long to ask us" Rias commentated
"Well I didn't want to come off like my cousin thinking he was hot shit and I didn't want to let either on of you down by asking the other one out" Harry answered
Akeno just sighed "This is why we want to be with you. You care about both of us so much and we care about each other so much that we decided it wouldn't be right to leave one of us out"
"Then it's settled" Rias stated "The three of us will date each other"
All three of them smiled to each other and just sat there comfortably in each others arms
"So" Harry asked "me walking in on you two was a trap wasn't it"
Rias and Akeno just giggled "Yes it was did you enjoy it"
"Of course I did, I'm just sorry you stopped" Harry responded with a smirk
"Then how about you join us in the next one then" Rias asked in that awesomely seductive way
"I think I will" Harry responded flirtatiously closing the distance between them when the door opened and a girl squealed. Looking up Harry saw Konoko, Asia and Issei stood there Asia in embarrassment and Issei in both anger and jealousy.
"What's going on" Asia asked nervously
"Oh nothing much just some business between our two family's that needed sorting out" Rias said innocently. Harry was always amazed at her lack of modesty and ability to treat anything sexual in such a blasé way.
"So, you two are finally dating huh" Konoko asked
"No" Rias answered "The three of us are dating"
"That's right" Akeno said in a sing-song way
"Finally" Konoko stated making Harry blush and Issei looked like he had been kicked in the balls as Kiba just walked in with Harry's sisters and Ravel and saw the look in Issei's face
"What'd I miss" He asked innocently
"Harry, Rias and Akeno are dating" Konoko replied
"Finally," Kiba responded
"It took you long enough to ask them honestly" Ravel said
"Actually we asked him" Akeno said and Harry just wanted to be dragged into the ground and disappear, he was never gonna hear the end of this.
"So how long is it gonna take you two demons to spread this around school?" Harry asked of his sisters. They just looked at each other like their brother had given them a challenge "NO it wasn't a challenge don't you even dare" Harry yelled at his sisters but they were already on there way out when they bumped into someone
"Mother!" Harry stated surprised "What are you doing here"
Harry's mother had retained her youth completely and looked incredible for a mother of 3 but carried with her and aura of power and authority
"Well it's about time you lot got together I was beginning to get worried" His mother said embarrassing Harry "As to why you're here we have a problem that needs you're attention" Now more serious than before
"What is it?" Harry asked also adopting a serious tone
"It appears Dumbledore has found a way to drag you to Hogwarts for a year" Lily answered
"What? How?" Harry asked now looking a bit angry
"Through the use of the Goblet of Fire you have been selected as a fourth competitor and are forced to compete or lose your magic"
This shocked Harry. Someone has forced him into a competition against his will with his magic on the line. While he was powerful without his magic it was still important to him, it was a piece of who he was, to take that away from him would be like losing an arm.
"So what's the plan?" Harry asked his mother
"Your farther and Padfoot are already In Britain trying to figure out who did this and making a lot of noise whilst you and you're peerage are going to Hogwarts until we can get you out of this or you finish competing in the tournament."
Harry stood there very pensive for a moment, He had just gotten together with the two loves of his life and he would have to leave them for a long time
"We're coming with you" Rias proclaimed looking directly at Harry "Sona and her peerage can stay here and I'm not letting you leave just when we got together"
Lily just sighed "Yes I figured you'd say that which is why I already talked to Lord Lucifer and he said that you could go with us so don't worry about him"
"Awesome so how long are we going for" Issei asked excitedly
"Till June" Lily said simply shocking everyone in the room
"8 MONTHS!" Harry yelled "how long is this stupid tournament"
"Watch you tone" Lily said sternly shutting Harry up instantly "As for the tournament I'll let the organizers of it tell you"
"How are we gonna explain our absence over this" Rias asked
"Officially the Occult Research Club will be going to Britain as part of an exchange program to study Occult buildings and artefacts. Your fathers handling all that" Lily answered politely
"Okay then so what about us being devils how do we explain that?" Harry asked nervous about this. His mother just sighed which is never a good sign.
"We're gonna be completely honest about it and tell them what we are if they ask" Lily answered shocking everyone in the room. They usually had to hid what they were to humans "It is a Wizarding school so it won't be too bad and your Queen and Bishop have already begun to set up the fact that we and they are in fact Devils"
"Wait what you have a peerage" Issei asked "How come I haven't seen them"
"Because they are Half Devils half magical like me and there parents wanted them to finish there education which I agree with"
"So we'll get to finally meet the famous Ice Queen then" Konoko asked
"Yes and a word of warning Issei" Harry said as he looked at Issei who was probably wondering what Daphne looked like "My Queen, like Akeno, enjoys punishing people in particular boys who think they can cop a feel." Harry heard Issei gulp and decided to lay it on thick "Her favourite punishment is to freeze a persons balls" This made Issei wince and hold hi balls for protection. It wasn't that Harry disliked Issei it was that he knew that Daphne would actually permanently damage Issei and for some reason Harry was starting to see the lecherous pervert as a friend in spite of the fact they had conflicting sacred gears but his hard working attitude plus the way he handled himself going against Raynare and he ilk impressed him
"Enough Harry," Lily said "The maids from the house of Phenex will have probably already got all your stuff packed so let's get going." They all gathered around her as a magic circle surrounded her and they were all whisked away.
Meanwhile at Hogwarts
Everyone in the great hall was talking about the news. Harry Potter was entered into the Tri-Wizard Tournament or more specifically Harry Potter-Phenex was entered. There were so many questions being asked 'Where did he get a second last name' 'Where had he been' 'Who entered him' and 'What was he like'. The main question though was who entered him. He couldn't have entered himself in no one had seen him in years he and his entire family seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth after Voldemort's attack on the Potter family. Some where curious as to whether his mother would be coming with him here after all his father had appeared earlier in the morning and was currently sat at the end of the head table talking to professor Flitwik. Lily Potter had become a bit of a legend, especially to the muggleborns, due to her actions in last war as she proved that blood status didn't matter only skill, and talent determined what made a great witch or wizard and professor Snape was a constant daily reminder as he had a metal arm and leg on top of the myriad of scars on his face that were given to him by Lily Potter add to the fact that many believed that she was the one who defeated Voldemort it made many people dismiss the belief in Pureblood supremacy as an antiquated belief and many formerly dark family's joined the neutral side. Of course some Purebloods claimed foul and called her a magic stealing monster and wanted her arrested for crimes against Pureblood family's and while that didn't stick the Malfoy's had Minister Fudge's ear and as such many avenues to introduce equality between Purebloods and muggleborns was always shot down leading to quite a bit of unrest in the muggleborn community. It also meant that people started to question Dumbledore as Lily was known for taking no prisoners in the war and killed, maimed or burnt many death eaters to the point where many members of Azkaban had missing limbs or severe burn marks on there body's and Dumbledore and his followers seemed to be the only one's who had a problem with it which shocked a lot of people to the point where he was called a pacifist at best and a coward at worst. Thus he was kept as the headmaster of Hogwarts due to the fact that he was a great teacher but that's it, he was no longer the leader of the light in peoples eyes and never had any more influence in the politics of Britain though he still had his chocolate frog card which he was happy about. Neville Longbottom was intrigued about the prospect of finally meeting his god-brother as his mother referred to Harry as. His parents had been attacked at Longbottom manor a few days after the Potters left by a one arm Bellatrix and Barty Crouch junior but they were beaten by Neville's parents and Grandmother and after that they devoted all there time to raising Neville so that at age 17 Neville was considered a highly gifted wizard and the unofficial leader of Griffindor house as well as head-boy. Hermione was also intrigued by the prospect of meeting Harry though for very personal reasons. Her only friends throughout all of school were Neville, Luna and the Greengrass sisters due to her status as a 'undatable bookworm' but when she caught Daphne with black wings coming out of her back she learnt the truth and learnt all about the Devils and that Daphne was under the service of Harry Potter. She was curious what Harry was like and if she treated her friends right and also she wanted to be seen as worthy to also join Harry's peerage, anything would do as long as it meant that she could escape this bigoted country. She got along with Daphne really well though sadly they had to hide their friendship due to Her being a Griffindor and Daphne being a Slytherin which was annoying to say the least. Dumbledore was happy that Harry would be joining them all in Hogwarts. He had spent many a year looking for the family yet came up with nothing but now they were coming to him and now maybe they would listen to him as he firmly believed that Voldemort was responsible for this and Harry had to be the one to defeat him it was his destiny. Daphne and Astoria were excited and nervous. Harry was going to be joining them at Hogwarts for a full year which would be the most time they spent together. They both loved Harry as a friend and the fact that he was easy on the eyes was a bonus but it sucked that they where told to go to school whilst Harry was hidden away for his safety but in the end Daphne agreed that she should continue her study's after all as his queen it was her job to be able to protect her King and Daphne promised to be there for her friend. She would always send him messages about the people at Hogwarts and what was going on as Harry was expecting to make a contract with one someday so it helped to already know about them and right now Neville Longbottom was the primary candidate due to his honour and strength. She was of course considered very beautiful and the desire of many boys at school but they were all told no as she didn't believe they were good enough though having Harry as a comparison wasn't really fair but none of interested her. The pompous ones like Malfoy and Nott claimed that she should be honoured but they said very little after she froze theirs bits after luring them to a private area causing them to scream like little girls. That made many consider her the queen of Slytherin as she was considered brilliant, cunning and devious and her neutral views caused many of them to interact with other houses which reduced the negative stigma surrounding Slytherin though a few still clung on to it. Her sister was also considered a force to be reckoned with as anyone who had insulted her would be found days later crying with many hexes and jinxes on them so the message was simple 'Don't fuck with the Greengrass siblings'. Daphne and Astoria revealed that they were in fact Devils in the service of house Phenex shocking everyone and forced Dumbledore and James potter to explain there nature to the people of Hogwarts which was stalling the lessons and of course gave time for Harry to arrive and make a grand entrance.
Harry and his group landed in front of the front gates of Hogwarts which were opened and a stunning woman was stood there running towards them.
"Harry it's so good to see you again" She said as she hugged Harry hard who hugged her back. Issei was floored by the woman hugging Harry. He felt compelled to do whatever he could do to impress her.
"You could do with turning down your allure or else I think Issei is gonna go mad" Harry said breaking the hug.
"Of course" She said and Issei went back to normal.
"Everyone this Fluer Delacor she is my knight and also part Veela" Harry said standing next to the blonde
"It's a pleasure to meet you all" Fluer said politely as she bowed for them
"What's a Veela?" Issei asked while staring at Fluer's boobs
"A Veela is a being that can grow wings and throw fireballs" Harry said getting Issei's attention "Veela are also sexual creature that have an allure that can drive men wild if they don't have enough self control"
"It's a pleasure to meet you again Fluer" Rias said offering her hand
"Likewise Lady Gremory" Fluer shook her hand "I see you and Harry have finally gotten together"
"No way had she know that" Issei asked
"When I made Fluer a devil her powers evolved essentially and it allows her to sense emotions through skin contact"
"I also sense that Akeno has joined the two of you may I say I am happy for the three of you" Fluer continued before forming a smirk on her face "There wouldn't happen to be room for one more?"
"No Fluer this relationship is what 10 minutes old right now?" Harry said
"Pity, oh well lets get going" Fluer responded
The group began walking up to the giant castle. Harry was walking next to Issei which annoyed him a little, he wanted to be walking hand in hand with Rias and Akeno 'how'd I get so sappy after only 10 minutes of dating them' Harry thought to himself
"Excuse me Lady Potter I have a question?" Kiba asked as Lily turned her head while walking
"What is it?" Lily responded kindly
"Magical schools are hidden aren't they so how did you know where this one is?"
"Cause I went to Hogwarts" Lily answered which shocked a few in the group
"Really?" Issei said
"Of course it's where I met my husband though then I didn't know I was a devil but I'll tell you that story another time." Lily said sweetly
"You know Harry your mums pretty cool" Issei said
"You sure you're not just staring at her boobs" Harry responded sarcastically making Issei bluster a bit
"Well yeah I was but I'm serious she's pretty kick A" Issei said in response
"So what my mother's not good enough for you" Harry teased 'it's about time someone else got teased' thought Harry
"Harry, stop teasing my servant" Rias called from behind them.
"Fine, fine" harry said and was gonna actually strike up a genuine conversation
"Yo Lily" They heard a voice shout and as they turned to see who said it they saw a well dressed well groomed man approaching
"Hello Sirius, you have everything all set up?" Lily asked
"Of course, me and Mooney have it all set up" Sirius said and then looked at Harry and the twins "Hey kiddo you doin alright?"
"Bout as well as you can expect" Harry answered sincerely
"We're fine Uncle" the twins said
"No shit" Harry mumbled
"We'll see you later Sirius we have to get up and announce our arrival" Lily said
"Okay, fair warning snivaless is up there" Sirius said surprising seriously
Lily stiffened a bit at that "Thanks" with that she continued to lead the group up to the castle
"Who's snivaless?" Issei asked stupidly
"Nothing to worry about" Lily said forcing the matter closed as they walked in idle chatter until they reached the castle itself.
"Here we are, ready to make a scene?" Lily asked mischievously
"Of course lets do this," Harry said equally mischievously
Harry pushed the doors opened and he and his entourage entered the great hall with a bang and everyone stared at them. Harry Potter had entered Hogwarts.
Authors Notes
I was going to end this chapter as the group set off to Hogwarts but I didn't want to stop it there so I added the walk up to the castle and the thoughts of people at Hogwarts as a way to expand on Harry's peerage and to give you some insight into what people there are thinking. I also added 'Lily's legacy' on as a way to show that there is no Boy-Who-Lived in this story and Lily is considered the hero which I did because I wanted her to be more than just Harry's Mother. I know a the beginning is another long chunk of world building but I wanted to cover Harry's childhood quickly so I could get on with the actual story. Yes Harry's peerage is all women except for one which I'm keeping secret for now sorry. I do have a question for you all though which what do I do with Ron. I don't know what to do with him so suggestions for that would be welcomed.
Also to make things clear Harry, Rias and Akeno are all dating each other. Harry isn't just dating two women, all three are dating the other two.
Next time- Hogwarts reacts and Harry, Rias and Akeno's first date
