Harry Potter and the Shadow Legion

Chapter 7

3rd of November UN Security Council New York.

The Queen stood before the magical and muggle ambassadors of the members of the UN Security Council. For the last 2 hours she had been giving them an overview of what had happened in the past ten years. When she had come to the part where she told them of Voldemort's temporary demise there was a round of cheers, as all of them had feared that Voldemort would try to take over the rest of the world when he was done with England.

"Esteemed ambassadors," the Queen spoke. "This is not a time for jubilation, but a time for mourning the thousands of deaths that have been caused by Voldemort. Also, it should be a time of preparation. Voldemort is not dead. His body has been destroyed but his spirit remains and someday he will regain his physical body. When that happens we will all be in grave danger."

The magical ambassador of France, and current chairman of the council, Monsieur Delacour cleared his throat and asked. "But Your Majesty how can you be so sure he will return. When he is a ghost we have nothing to fear from him."

The Queen shook her head sadly and answered him, "Monsieur Delacour, I'm afraid that his inner circle of Death Eaters will eventually find a way to restore his body and seeing as we did not kill or capture many of them, their identity's remain a mystery. He had an army numbering in the many thousands, those have suffered heavy losses, but many remain and all of those will rejoin him when he returns. Added to this are the many thousands of dark creatures under his control."

The next to speak was the Russian magical ambassador, and he said. "I have heard that just yesterday there has been a genocide in your country. Is it true that your giant population has been destroyed?"

The Queen nodded sadly and said. "I'm afraid that is true sir, the few remaining giant tribes in England had all joined forces with Voldemort. I have tried to talk with them and at least get them to remain neutral, but my envoys were tortured and beheaded. Their remains were send back to my palace as an answer.

So when news of Voldemort's demise reached me, I took precautions against their involvement in more massacres of innocent lives. Yesterday morning, my forces destroyed all known giant camps and killed all those who resisted. On my orders they offered the giants a ceasefire and help in relocating them to the giant preserve, but they chose to fight and as a consequence they have been destroyed.

Of the estimated 520 giants in England, 508 have been killed. The remaining have been placed in custody and are awaiting transportation to the preserve. My forces have also found and killed massive numbers of Voldemort's supporters. Of the estimated three to four thousand Death Eaters more than eighteen hundred have been killed and over a thousand captured."

The ambassadors were conversing amongst each other for a few minutes before the muggle American ambassador spoke up. "We want to thank you for informing us of all this, but why have you done so. Your ambassadors could have done the same so why have you come yourself."

The Queen was silent for a few minutes as she tried to find the right words for her request. "That is indeed true Mister Ambassador. I have a request for this council. As you all know, I have a personal unit of special forces known as the Shadow Legion." All the ambassadors nodded and the Queen continued.

"This unit is responsible for inflicting most of the casualties amongst the Death Eaters and they are the ones who destroyed the giants. They were able to do so because they are comprised of normal soldiers who use a combination of magic and technology to fight the dark forces. Using firearms and artillery they were able to ensure the demise of many of Voldemort's followers because they did not know how to counter them.

The next time they will oppose us they will be better prepared and maybe find a way to neutralise part of the threat that is formed by them. We began this war a little over a year ago with 350 Legionnaires. As of right now we have 237 remaining. So they have lost almost a third of their fighting strength. My request is as follows.

Allow my commanders, to start recruiting amongst your special forces. We need soldiers, who have proven their skill and strength to fight for the protection of innocent lives. If we are to destroy Voldemort, the next time we will need a far larger force than we currently have. My own country cannot supply the necessary numbers to stop Voldemort next time and then he will conquer your countries next. We have to stand united, or we will fall divided.

Furthermore, they need funding for training and research. We need to upgrade their base of operations and build new ones. We have to make factories for the production of weapons and vehicles, and we need supplies, to maintain them.

I propose to reform them into an international taskforce, with the sole purpose of protecting the normal world from those elements of the magical world that mean them harm. They can be the magical equivalent of your UN peacekeepers. In my opinion this is the only change we have to ensure peace in the long run. Because when Voldemort falls, another will eventually take his place."

When she was done speaking the Queen sat back down and let the council bicker amongst themselves. Looking at Aurora and Gabrielle who were seated behind her in the guise of her personal secretary's, she managed a hopeful smile and said. "And now all we can do is wait, and hope they will cooperate."

After a few minutes the room began to quite down and the Queen stood up to hear their decision. The chairman of the Security Council, Monsieur Delacour spoke and said. "Your Majesty the council has reached a decision.

The Security Council will create a resolution which will official give your 'Legion' the permission to recruit amongst all forces available to any nation that is a member of this council. You will also receive a financial backing from the UN, each member state will give one percent of their total defence budget to support them. We trust you will use this resolution for the betterment of everyone." Bowing his head Monsieur Delacour sat back down.

The Queen spoke again and said, "I would like to thank all the members of this council for the help and support they have given and promised, know that it is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use. I bid you all a good day, and thank you once more." The Queen inclined her head as a sign of gratitude and respect before turning around and leaving the grand room followed by Aurora and Gabrielle.

While they were walking towards the exit they were approached by a member of the staff who said, "Your Majesty if you have a few minutes, Monsieur Delacour would like to have a word in private. He is on his way and asked me to escort you to his office." The Queen agreed and they followed the man to a large tinted glass door which held a sign that said, 'Ambassador J. P. Delacour, Chairman of the UN.S.C.'.

When they arrived Monsieur Delacour was already waiting for them. He opened the door and motioned for them to enter. When everyone was seated around his desk monsieur Delacour spoke. "Welcome to my office Your Majesty, seeing as this is an informal meeting, I would appreciate it if you called me Jean-Paul."

The Queen nodded in acceptance and Jean-Paul continued. "I asked you to come here for two reasons, first to convey my personal condolences on the loss of your family members. And secondly to ask you if it would be okay if I spoke with your 'secretary's'?" He used finger quotes on that last word, making it clear he knew they were something else.

Thanking him and giving her approval Jean-Paul turned towards Aurora and Gabrielle. "My ladies I assume you are the commanders her majesty spoke about?"

The Queen raised her eyebrows and asked, "How did you know and do the rest of the council know also?"

Jean-Paul smiled and said, "No Your Majesty as far as I know, I'm the only member of the council who knows who they really are. It is an honour to meet the daughter of Merlin and her wife." At this there fell a shocked silence in the room as all three woman stared at Jean-Paul with surprise in their eyes.

Gabrielle was the first to recover and asked, "How did you know who we are?"

Jean-Paul kept smiling and said, "You may not remember it but a long time ago you met my grandfather. He was sent to England to ask for help in fighting a local dark Lord who had managed to gain possession of a powerful dark artefact. Our ministry was unable to fight him, thanks to this artefact, and asked you for help."

Aurora slowly gained a smile on her face an asked him, "Are you the grandson of Louis Delacour, former head of the French Department of International Magical Cooperation?"

The broadening smile of Jean-Paul told her she was right. "My grandfather always spoke of you with great admiration. He once told me you could be someone's best friends or their worst nightmares. I regret to tell you he died a few years ago, he passed away peacefully in his sleep. He told me to try and contact you to thank you for saving his life, but you are difficult to find."

Both woman looked sad at hearing the news of Louis's death, and Gabrielle said. "Our condolences, your grandfather was a great man. He had to brave many an obstacle to get to us and he proved to be a lifelong friend, we would like to pay our respects someday."

Jean-Paul nodded and said, "Thank you for your kind words, my grandfather was right about you. Maybe next summer when my term here ends, you could come over for a few days and spent a holiday in France. I would be honoured to house you for a few days and I could show you around in France."

They gladly accepted his invitation and talked a bit more before Jean-Paul told them he regretfully had to attend to other duty's. They said their goodbye's and promised to keep in touch. They went to the international transportation point in the magical part of the UN building and left from the apparition point.

When they were back in the sitting room at Buckingham Palace the Queen said, "Well I suppose this is it then, this was your last day of active duty, until Harry can take care of himself. So I suppose it is time to officially hand over your duty's to the MSS." When the Queen finished speaking, she opened a secret door, hidden behind the table, and they entered the palace HQ of the MSS.

They entered a room with a large round table in it. Around the table was seated one older man and 24 young men including the six men who had accompanied them to Gringotts. The group of men stood up and the older man said, "Welcome your Majesty. The group has been briefed and we are ready to take over the responsibilities of your personal protection."

The Queen nodded and took her seat on the largest chair around the table with Aurora and Gabrielle on either side of her. The group of men likewise sat down. The Queen took a breath and stated in her official voice, "We have come together for the official transfer of responsibilities of my personal protection. Seeing as Aurora and Gabrielle are from now on unable to properly perform their duty, in consideration of their recent parentage. This task shall from now on be performed by the Magical Secret Service, under the leadership of commander McAndrews."

All heads were still pointed towards the Queen, but they turned towards him when McAndrews stood up and answered. "We willingly accept this responsibility and promise to perform our duty to the best extent of our abilities. And if necessary to lay down our lives in service to our Queen. We wish our predecessors all happiness in their future lives and wish them many happy years with their son."

McAndrews bowed his head towards the three woman exactly opposite him and sat back down. Aurora and Gabrielle stood up and Gabrielle said. "We thank our successors and wish them much luck and success in the performing of their new responsibilities. We leave the Queen in good hands and trust that she will be safe with her new guard." Both woman made a bow towards the Queen and sat back down.

When they had sat down, the table glowed white and all felt a wave of energy pass through them. Magical law had officially accepted the transfer of responsibility's and Aurora and Gabrielle were officially relieved of active duty. The Queen spoke again and said in her normal voice again, "So now that the formalities are behind us I propose that we end this meeting. There will be time to talk later but I for one am anxious to see my nephew and I'm sure his mothers would want the same."

Aurora looked at Gabrielle and said lovingly, "Come my love, let's go get our son." The three woman stood up, said good-bye to the men at the table, and left followed by six of the young men.

Tom the bartender stood behind his counter polishing glasses, when the door of his pub was thrown open and what looked like the same group from a few days ago entered. Three hooded woman surrounded by six young men in black suits, Tom wisely kept his mouth as the same man as before threw a warning look at him.

The group made their way through the magical doorway and towards the large white marble building of Gringotts. When they arrived the goblin guards bowed and opened the doors without saying a word. In the great hall they were awaited by Lord Ragnok himself, accompanied by a group of advisors and guards.

To the surprise of every witch, wizard and goblin in the hall, Ragnok made a bow to the three woman and said. "My lady's all preparations have been completed and everything is ready to continue as planned. I would like to invite you to my office were we can finalise the last arrangements."

The three hooded woman nodded and followed Ragnok to his office. When the door opened they saw Minerva sitting in a large fauteuil with a sleeping baby in her arms.

When she saw the child, Aurora immediately lowered her hood and accepted her son when Minerva handed him to her. Gently kissing his forehead, she saw that his wound had already started to heal. Her partner stood next to her and also put a loving kiss on his forehead.

The Queen, Lord Ragnok, Minerva and Griphook stood looking at the small reunion and smiled knowing that the boy was in safe and loving hands. The Queen turned to Ragnok and asked, "How did it go, has the horcrux been removed?"

Ragnok nodded and answered, "Yes Your Majesty it has been successful. The horcrux has been removed and destroyed. Furthermore, Potter Manor is ready to receive its new inhabitants, the placement of the new wards was completed this morning. It could be safely said that it is safer to break in at Gringotts, than to attack that manor.

We have placed stonewall wards, which literally erect magical stone walls around the entire property that neutralise any form of magic trying to cross it when activated. Outside those we have placed, dragon fire, swamp and bombardment wards that will stop anything approaching the walls without permission. Layered within are the strongest anti portkey, anti apparition, anti phoenix travel, and anti elf travel wards we can create. The entire ward system is powered by 10 dragon stones which are scattered around the property, to prevent sabotage.

I will accompany them to the manor and place it under a modified Fidelius charm, locking the secret in not one but two secret keepers who each hold one half of it. This means that in order to even find the location of the manor, Voldemort will have to retrieve the information from both Aurora and Gabrielle, making it virtually impossible for him to do so."

The Queen inclined her head and said, "Thank you Lord Ragnok. It gives me great pleasure to know that they will be protected by the best security available." Looking towards her nephew she saw that his new mothers were playing with him and she knew that he was safe and loved.

When all was said and done the Queen took her leave and said, "I have responsibility's waiting for me so I will leave you now. I will come and visit you shortly when you are settled down in your new house and life."

Both Aurora and Gabrielle made a deep bow, with Gabrielle now holding Harry in her arms. The Queen said her goodbye's and left the office with her new guards around her. Minerva likewise took her leave saying that she had to check up on Albus and see if he had recovered from his shock of last night. She left the office through the floo in the corner.

Ragnok stepped towards the two woman who were still playing with the baby and cleared his throat, when he was suddenly interrupted by a growl that echoed through the hall outside his office. All inhabitants looked towards the direction where the sound came from and saw a hidden door open form a hole that was roughly 7 by 4 feet.

Through that hole came a small ruby red dragon, it had a wingspan of nearly 6 feet and it was perhaps 3 feet from head to tail. It had a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth the size of grains of rice. It flew towards a pedestal and held one of its hind legs out with a rolled up letter attached to it. Ragnok walked towards the dragon, accepted the letter, and gave it a piece of raw meat from a box on his desk. The dragon stretched its wings and flew away again.

Ragnok looked at Aurora and Gabrielle and was not surprised to see their amazement, he said. "The muggles have succeeded in breading very small races of dogs. We have done the same with dragons, we use them for top secret correspondence because they are much safer to use than owls. Dragons will fight back if you try to intercept a letter and they will burn it before letting it fall in the wrong hands."

To Ragnok's surprise both woman said at the same time, "Awww he was so cute. Do you have more races or only Chinese fireballs? And can we buy one?" Ragnok was shocked when they called a dragon cute, but then he remembered that they were part dragon themselves so such a reaction could have been expected.

Chuckling slightly, he motioned for them to follow him and left the office. When they were in the hallway, Ragnok led them deeper into the ground and said, "We have managed to breed 3 miniature versions of the larger species known today. Chinese fireballs, Common Welsh Greens, and Hungarian Horntails. Of those three the welsh greens and the fireballs are used for mail delivery, for they are the easiest to train.

The horntails have, as of yet, proved to be a failure in training, for they are much to strong willed." Taking a short pause Ragnok led them ever deeper into the bowels of Gringotts until they reached a large stone door guarded by 6 armoured goblin warriors. Ragnok barked a few short orders in gobbledegook and the guards sprung at attention before opening the door. One of the guards handed Ragnok a small leather pouch which he continued to attach to his belt.

Ragnok led them through and when the doors closed behind them they found themselves in a large underground cavern perhaps 200 feet wide and 900 feet long. The ceiling was almost 100 feet above them, and all around the walls they saw nests with miniature dragons on them. Maybe as much as 80 or 90 dragons were housed in the cavern. There was a small gap in the ceiling from which artificial sunlight flooded the cavern.

There was a plethora of growls and shrieks around them, as some twenty dragons flew down and landed in front of Ragnok, all begging him for treats and one very bold welsh green even landed on top of another dragon and held his paw out expecting a letter to be attached.

Ragnok reached inside his jacket and removed the pouch from his belt. He opened it and took out a handful of small pieces of raw meat and threw it away. The dragons stormed towards the meat and started fighting amongst each other to get to it first.

Gabrielle still held Harry against her chest while, she and Aurora were looking towards the group of fighting dragons, as if they were little puppy's playing with each other. Seeing their looks, Ragnok made a decision, and cleared his throat before he said. "Normally we don't sell them to outsiders, as no one outside of Gringotts knows about their existence but I think an exception could be made this time."

Seeing the smiles broaden Ragnok continued. "They are usually given as eggs, so that their master can raise and train them on their own. So if you want one, I suggest you pick an egg from one of the nests. The Welsh Greens are 2,000 galleons, the Fireballs are 3,000, and the Horntails are 6,000 as they are the rarest and most dangerous."

Both woman shared a look and spoke at the same time, "Two Horntails please." Ragnok showed them a toothy grin and led them towards a large nest on the back of the cavern. When they were halfway there, Aurora noticed that the cavern had been split in two parts by a large steel chain net.

Seeing her confusion Ragnok said, "The Horntails don't mix well with the others, so we keep them apart to prevent injury's and fighting amongst the dragons."

Ragnok led them towards a small, cage like door in the net, and opened it using a key from his pocket. When they were in, he closed the door again and took a large blast shield from the ground, which he held in front of him. Gabrielle wrapped her cloak around Harry and bound him safely against her chest with a baby sling she had borrowed from Emma Granger.

Aurora just walked towards the nest and when the nesting mother dragon that sat on it noticed her, she sent a blast of fire her way. Aurora just smiled before she caught the blast of fire in her right hand and threw it back at the dragon, hitting her full in the chest. Ragnok looked in amazement, as the horntail left its nest, and landed on Aurora's left shoulder, where it sat down and started cleaning her scales.

The horntail was slightly larger than the others with a wingspan of 7 feet and a length of maybe 3.5 feet she was covered in shining black and dark silver scales, with a long tail covered in spikes, up to an inch in length. She had a fearsome head with rows of horns protruding from the top of her skull. She had a mouth filled with teeth that looked like little ivory daggers of half an inch long. And a long supple neck which gently curved while she was cleaning her scales.

Looking back at a shocked goblin she said, "You just have to show them who is boss and they'll obey you." She lightly stroked the dragon's spiked tail that was draped over her right shoulder and walked towards the nest. Calling for her companions to join her, she looked inside the nest and found a second, smaller horntail sleeping on top of a small pile of eggs. This dragon was dark brown with black and about as big as the Fireball.

The dragon on her shoulder jumped down to the edge of the nest and started nudging her mate to wake him. When he was awake the female growled something to him and they both bowed their heads and presented their eggs. There were 9 eggs in the nest, 3 black ones, 3 brown ones, a grey one, a dark red one, and a dull silver one.

Aurora picked the red one and Gabrielle gently took the silver one, they both bowed to the dragons, who curled up around each other and covered their eggs again. The dragons went back to sleep, while a still flabbergasted Ragnok led Aurora and Gabrielle towards the large stone doors on the other side of the cavern.

When they were through the doors, Ragnok went to a door opposite the large stone doors and led them into a smaller room. There were several goblins in the room each of whom was caring for a small baby dragon. The baby's varied is size from a few inches to more than a foot in length.

When the goblins saw Ragnok enter with two humans they were surprised but when they saw both of them holding a small dragon egg the size of a large chicken egg there fell a shocked silence. Ragnok spoke a few sentences in gobbledegook and presumably explained the situation before switching back to English. "The Horntails have given them these eggs so I want them to receive everything necessary to raise the dragons within."

One of the goblins bowed and immediately went to a large drawer on the wall and started to remove varies items. Two nest-like baskets lined with rough wool, two large cages, a few brushes and files and some fire poof gloves. He put everything on a table before shrinking it and putting it in a small box.

Next he walked to a different drawer and removed two fur lined pouches from it. He handed the box and the pouches to Aurora and Gabrielle who put their eggs in them, and Aurora put the box in a pouch on her belt. The goblin bowed and returned to his dragon.

Ragnok thanked the goblin and left the room followed by Aurora and Gabrielle. They returned to his office where Ragnok sat back down. Ragnok told them all about the new wards and other protective measures that had been put in place on and around the grounds of Potter Manor.

He added, "I would suggest to keep the dragons indoors for the first few weeks. This will give them the chance to get used to you and learn where they sleep and live. If you let them outside to early they might fly away, get lost and die.

Until you want them to hatch, you can keep the eggs in the pouches. I suggest you wait until the entire affair with the Death Eaters is finished and you can live in peace. For the first few weeks are crucial for the bonding process.

Also I know you two are immune to dragon fire but the boy is not. So there are two options available, one you keep him away from the dragons until they are old enough to know they mustn't harm each other. Or you use your own blood magic and give Harry a few drops of your blood, this will give him the ability to communicate with them as you can. And it will make him resistant to their fire."

The two women looked at each other silently for a few seconds before Gabrielle said, "We will choose option two. Do you know how that works are there any special rituals involved in that procedure?"

Ragnok smiled and said, "It is very simple. You just add a few drops of your blood to his drink bottle and it will take care of itself. It is best to do it in the evening so he will be asleep and won't notice the change happen."

Both women thanked Ragnok and Aurora said, "If there is nothing else to discuss, I suggest we head to the manor and finish the last part of the Fidelius charm. I'm anxious to go home." At that last word both she and Aurora looked towards the sleeping baby bound against Gabrielle's chest, they were finally all three going home.

Ragnok agreed and led them towards his fireplace. He said. "We have made a separate floo network, consisting of 5 places. My office, Potter Manor, Minerva McGonagall's office at Hogwarts, Legion HQ and Buckingham Palace. Only these other four have access to Potter Manor. But from Potter Manor you can access the public floo network."

Both Aurora and Gabrielle were impressed with the extent of the security measures taken by Gringotts to ensure their safety, and showed their appreciation. Ragnok offered them a small golden box, filled with floo powder. When they had both taken a handful, he followed their example before putting the box on a side table.

He threw the powder in the fire and when it turned green he said, "Potter Manor." Stepping into the fire it roared up and he vanished. Gabrielle went second, and like Ragnok she threw the powder in the fire before saying, "Potter Manor." She stepped in the fire and she and Harry vanished, Aurora followed quickly.

When she stepped out of the fire she stood in a medium sized room that was furnished like a reception room. Both Ragnok and Gabrielle stood waiting for her, and Ragnok led them towards a large double door.

When they stepped through the door opening, they entered a grand white marble entrance hall. On their left was a great, gate like, double door made of English oak, and on their right was a grand, marble double staircase, leading to no less than three floors. It started on either side of the hall with a small landing, with a balcony, on each floor. On the ground floor were double doors leading to different wings of the house.

Ragnok cleared his throat and spoke in an official voice. "The Heir of House Potter and his guardians have arrived in their new home." When he finished speaking, there were five soft pops, as five House-elves appeared before them. Three female and two male. The female's all wore a small dress in the colours red and gold, and the male's wore a small tuxedo in the same colours.

Ragnok spoke again and said, "My lady's, I would like to introduce the elves of House Potter. On the left, Rosy, Daisy and Poppy, and on the right, Fredrick and Charles." Each elf made a bow as their names were said. "Elves meet your new master, Harry James Potter, and his adoptive mothers, Gabrielle and Aurora."

When the introductions were made Gabrielle loosened the baby sling around her chest and took her son in her arms, before showing him to the exited elves. They crowded around her and when she handed them the boy he was passed between them with as much adoration as his mothers had shown him.

When they had all held the baby, Charles handed him back to his mother and said in a low squeaky voice, "We are honoured to be allowed to serve another member of the great family of Potter. Please call for us if there is anything you need mistresses, you are family now so please don't hesitate to ask us."

All the elves made a bow and left with a second series of small pops. When they were gone Ragnok handed Aurora a parchment scroll. "This is a map of the manor, it is quite large with over 40 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and many other facilities so this is handier than giving you a tour. It is charmed to mark your current location so you will be able to see where you are.

The outdoor facilities include, a lake, sports fields, a forest, gardens, stables, and various other buildings including a few guest homes.

The indoor facilities include, a swimming pool, a gym, ballroom, games room, five dining rooms of differing sizes, 4 living rooms and a large kitchen with breakfast room. There are a total of over 70 rooms in the manor, and most can be refurnished if need be. If you would follow me to the control room, I will finish the Fidelius charm and leave you to get settled."

They followed Ragnok through the double doors, under the large staircase, down a small hall, and into a hidden door, that appeared when he brushed his hand over a certain spot on the wall. They entered a large room, equipped like a muggle security centre, with a wall of TV's on one side and a few desks before it. In the middle of the room was a pedestal with a large pitch black crystal on it.

The stone was 5 inches across and emitted a soft buzz. Ragnok explained, "This is a dragon stone there are 10 of these scattered around the manor and grounds. These stones are what power the wards. Each stone could do it individually but with ten of them we were able to boost the ward efficiency to 800%. Even all the curse breakers of Gringotts combined could not break through the wards if they had a year of time.

The stones draw their energy directly from the earth so they will never be depleted. They themselves are also protected, they can't be broken, crushed, or destroyed in any way. And only a member of the family, can remove them.

The entire manor is equipped with the best of both magical and technological surveillance, intruder charms, automatic movement sensors, camera's and an emergency alert system.

The only way in by magical means is the reception room, which is equipped with blast doors and reinforced concrete walls. When given the command the house will unleash, tear, itch, or knockout gas in the reception room."

Aurora and Gabrielle were greatly impressed by the work that had been done by the goblins and thanked Ragnok wholeheartedly. When they were done Ragnok said, "If you would hand Harry to Daisy here...". At that moment there was a soft pop and said elf appeared. "... then we can commence with the Fidelius charm." Gabrielle handed her son to the elf who went to sit at a small couch that appeared out of nowhere.

Next Ragnok asked both woman to stand in the middle of the room, and to lay a hand on the crystal. When they had complied, he began with the charm. The incantation took more than a minute and when he was done he said. "It is done. The only ones who now know where this house is, are us three. The elves belong with the house so they automatically know and are the only elves able to pop through the wards.

I would suggest to never write the address down, because a piece of parchment can be found by anyone. Just conveying the address by vocal means, is the safest way to do it.

No owl will be able to find this house unless they are owned by you. The dragons are not affected, so I suggest you use them when they are fully grown, which will take about a year."

When they were done Daisy stood up and handed Harry back to his mothers before vanishing the couch and leaving with a soft pop. Ragnok led them back to the grand entrance hall and bade them a good day, before walking to the reception room and left by means of the floo. Aurora was holding harry in her arms and looking towards her wife, she said. "I guess it's time to go and check out our new home."

Author's note:

The next three chapters will focus on the introduction of both Aurora and Gabrielle and the Grangers to the magical world. Chapter 11 and 12 will be off canon again and the rest of the book will focus on Harry and Hermione's childhood followed by first year. The plan is to cover all 7 books in separate story's so there is quite a lot to look forward to. See you all next time.
