Chapter 9 For Whom the Bell Tolls

A/N: Stupid pun=Great Song. Funny Note: Interesting how the books ( and Quidditch World Cup the game) describe Katie Bell as being blonde, but in the movies she had brown, sometimes almost black, hair. Interesting inconsistency isn't it?

" You know Harry, these fucking classes couldn't get any more boring. Is it at all possible for us to bring in some of our weapons instructors from Dragonland?"

Harry heard Fred chuckling in the background at Damian's groaning. Apparently, he was pissed that Harry hadn't given him enough of a warning about how boring Professor Binns' class was. Damian was just spouting off steam, " I mean, the only time I was more bored was when I fucked a mermaid, I mean, seriously. "

George interjected, " Wait, you fucked a mermaid?"

Harry decided to leave before Damian launched into the story. Harry caught a brief snippet of, " Well, I was on this boat, and it was going fast, and I was wearing a nautical themed afghan…."

Harry stepped out of the Fat Lady Portrait, who reminded him that a new password would be set this evening. He calmly avoided the Slytherins. You know the expression that when one ruler goes down, there will always be someone ready to step up and take the mantle? Yeah, well it appeared that Draco had abdicated to Theodore Nott, who took great pleasure in throwing insults at Harry and trying to piss him off. Luckily, getting your ass kicked by psycho veteran drill instructors teaches one patience. A patience that even Ron learned after about a week.

Luckily, it hadn't affected the Twins' sense of humor. Fred and George had already served five detentions on first week. The downside was that Harry, as their Lord Retainer, was considered their guardian. So he got all the mail from Dumbledore about their exploits. Granted, it was pretty funny reading McGonagall and Dumbledore's ways of expressing their misgivings. Still, they hadn't figured out yet that the reason why they never got a response was because Harry didn't care.

Still, Harry had his own problems. Cedric Diggory, for all his loyalty to the school, was getting tired of Dumbledore fucking things up. He was rapidly looking for a way to get out of the Wizarding World. Because his father, Amos, worked for the Control of Magical Creatures district, he knew that the Real World outside of Hogwarts wasn't much better, in fact, probably worse. Poor Cedric was willing to join the Potter House of Retainers to get away from it all. He just didn't feel like changing from being the nice guy, to the really bad guy he had to be to actually do anything. However, Harry didn't think Ced's father would take too kindly to Cedric abandoning his family.

Another problem was the search for his Second Wife. For everyone's talk about him and Katie, he made it clear to everyone, Katie included, that just because he was currently courting Katie, didn't mean that his outlook had her in the forecast. Naturally, she hadn't exactly been happy to hear that, but she, unlike guys like Seamus, kind of understood. He and her were do a nice talk with Aleroth. Aleroth had talked to him through the stone last night, and decided that today would be good. They were to meet in the Great Hall, and perform the actual discussion outside.

Harry made his way as discreetly as he could. Namely, he was avoiding Slytherins and Hufflepuffs. While the Ravenclaws weren't anywhere near the level of neutrality he had hoped they would be, they were a welcome reprieve from the normal hazing.

Harry rounded the corner, and entered the Great Hall to the normal amount of boos and hissing. Aleroth was sitting at the High Table, talking to McGonagall. He got up and hustled down to Harry after he saw that Harry had entered the Hall for breakfast. He whispered, " You, Bell, me. By the Lake. Twenty minutes."

Harry nodded through a mouthful of eggs. He saw that Katie was sitting with her friend Leanne. After he finished, he motioned towards her. She got up and sat next to him, " What you need Harry?"

" Aleroth wants to talk to us. Out by the lake. Say, five minutes."

She nodded, and hustled out of the Great Hall. Harry followed not a minute later.

( By the Lake)

" Well, I brought you two out here for a simple reason. Ms. Bell, I assume Harry has told you about him being a Dragon Knight, correct?"

Katie nodded, " He said something about finding a second wife. I know that he is already married to the Elven girl in Slytherin."

Both Harry and Aleroth looked at Katie, who answered, " I've read Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion you know. She looks like a Vanyaran elf."

Both Harry and Aleroth hissed, " Does anyone else know?"

" Not that I know of, why?"

Harry whispered, " To Cary, it is considered a bit of a taboo to Half-Elven. It has something to do with the Elves being the ancient enemies of the Dragons back when the worlds were young. It is for that reason, that she doesn't have a dragon form like us."

" You mean she doesn't have a form? I thought she would be this magnificent gold, white and blue dragon who's skin glittered like ice."

Aleroth frowned, " Unfortunately, the Elves that have become Dragon Knights cannot assume a Dragon Form like me and Harry. The innate magic within their bodies that dates back to the days before the Lord Captain battled Manwe and the Valor in Valanor does not mesh with the magic of the Dragons. It is because the first dragons in their lands were created by their great enemy, Morgoth, He who the World Hates, who was also known as Melkor, or He who Arises in Might. Harry here did my cousin a great favor by marrying Carolyn."

" A favor?"

Harry laughed nervously, " Much like the Wizarding World is with purebloods, most Dragon Knights are married at a young age, and usually, it is an arranged marriage. Save that in our case, the mothers are allowed to negotiate as well as the fathers. For example, it was Aleroth's wife's mother who negotiated his marriage. Draco Malfoy negotiated mine."

" You're kidding!"

Aleroth chuckled, " No joke, Katie. To prove that he had the ability to be a politician and a diplomat, we let Draco Malfoy handled Harry's negotiations with Celeborne. It went very well actually, and Draco is every bit as cutthroat as he boasts. The poor boy's mother was raped and burned at the stake in front of his face. Trust me, that changes people."

" Oh…"

Aleroth brightened, " Ah but we aren't here for that! I'm here to say that I am Aleroth Cerridwen Emrys, and that it is certainly nice to meet you Katie. I would also like to apologize for what happened a week ago."

Katie smiled, " Well, at least I knew you were watching. But those perverts Fred and George were listening to us using those Extendable Ears of theirs. And then they told the whole damn school! I guess I kind of know what Harry feels like when everywhere I go, all the students of the other houses act like their screaming in pleasure…."

" Well, I really am sorry about that. But I can't do anything about the Weasley Bros. Although I do need to talk to my son about his perverted habits…"

Harry quipped, " I like how the three of us are all talking about how perverted Fred, George, Ron, and Damian are, when it was me and Katie who were about to have sex,", Harry was met with glares from both Aleroth and Katie, " What? It is kind of hypocritical!"

Katie was about to answer him, when a voice hailed him, " 'ello? Iz 'Arry Potter ere?"

The trio turned to see the magnificent half-Veela girl, Fleur Delacour walking towards them. Harry answered, " Yes he is?"

" Good. Madame Maxime vould like to see you. She says zat it is important."

Harry shrugged, and followed Fleur to the Beaubatons Carriage. He couldn't help but notice how shapely the woman was, and that was blessing and a half that he was following her. She had an ass like hot candy! Madame Maxime interrupted his thoughts, " Potter. It is a pleasure to meet you in a friendly environment."

Harry looked at the Beaubaton students glaring at him. This was friendly? He responded, " Nice to meet you as well, Madame Maxime."

Maxime asked," I know you probably 'ave questions about Beaubatons, but I am more interested in zis Dragonland. What is it?"

Fleur perked up, " I am interested in zis as vell. I have heard from some of ze Hogwarts students that you are quite ze powerful man in this place."

Holy shit, is she really trying to hit me up? Harry answered with his own question, " Who exactly did you hear this from?"

Fleur answered, " Ze same set of boys that told me about some of your sexual exploits. If you can make a woman scream like they say, then I vould be tempted to try you out."

Thank god for the Weasley Twins…. Harry stuttered, " Well, you are most certainly welcome to, if you want. So, how do you like Hogwarts?"

" Et is nice for a drafty old castle. But I vould prefer Beaubatons any day. It is far less gloomy."

Harry noticed that Fleur was trying some sort of magic. He felt a bit of a tug, but he disregarded it. Fleur muttered, " Arry? Do you feel anything just now?"

" A little bit of a tug, but I might be imagining things. Dragonland's drill instructors pretty hard on us you know."

Fleur laughed, a lilting bell like sound, " No. It was my Veela Aura. Because I am only half Veela, I can only control it sometimes. It is amazing that someone like you would be immune to it. How hard are those drill instructors?"

" Hard enough to break your bones and then heal them just so they could break them again. Whilst enjoying it. I swear, they are the only people that actually enjoy training."

Both Maxime and Fleur laughed, " Vell, until next time 'Arry. I might take you up on that offer after the first task."

Harry blushed slightly, before leaving the Carriage. He returned to find the infamous Weasley bros with Aleroth and Katie. Aleroth was giving them hell for their antics involving Katie. Katie kissed Harry when he walked up, which performed the miraculous effect of getting everyone's attention. Harry sometimes wondered why if he did something, everyone instantly was drawn to him. Aleroth shooed them all off. When Katie and the Weasley Twins were out of range for even Extendable Ears, Aleroth asked, " So what did that French girl want?"

" Funny enough, she wanted to know of those stories the Weasleys Bros have been telling are true."

Aleroth chuckled, " Well, I guess if you can get a girl that good from this world, then you be a very lucky man. That girl had a nice ass man. I would tit fuck her ass."

" Uh, Aleroth, that doesn't make since."

Aleroth laughed, " It does if you got the reference, but I guess Damian never got around to showing you that then. Still. I would be tearing that up. By the way, do you know where Valdaerg is?"

" Why?"

Aleroth whispered, " First task is dragons, and they want to know if we can borrow Valdaerg."

" Well, of course you can. But I warn you, he might not be that cooperative. He is a bound dragon, not a feral one that I know they like to use."

Aleroth nodded, " I be sure to tell them that."

A/N : Compared to last chapter's over 5000 mark, this is pretty short. And yes, this is the chapter that begins to introduce Fleur as a competitor in the Harry's Other Wife race. Note Harry's attraction to blondes in this story. Also, you can probably guess that Valdaerg is going to be a problem.

Easter Eggs

2. " I fucked a mermaid… I was on this boat, and it was going fast…" From I'm On A Boat by T-Pain, even though he hardly sings at all in the song.

3 Touretts Guy: Yep, I'm sure you know where he popped up at.

An Explanation of the Wife system

I decided to tack on a brief explanation of how Harry's wives are going to work. As a Dragon Knight of Two Worlds, he has access to the following benefits.

1 Unlimited Mistresses: Harry can take any girl he wants in the school, or outside, and have sex with them. It doesn't have to be a One Nighter, but it usually is. He can continue to have these Mistresses after he gets married a second time. An example of a Man Whore Dragon Knight is Aleroth's Father Stangmar.

2. One Wife from Dragonland: This wife has to be a fellow Dragon Knight, and will always take priority over the Second Wife. This is the wife he would spend most of his time with. This role is fulfilled by Carolyn Elwing.

3. One Wife from His World ( Wizarding World): While not unheard of, it isn't exactly common in Dragonland for a Dragon Knight to use this clause. This wife would be from Harry's homeworld, i.e. The Wizarding World. Currently, the girls in contention are Katie, Fleur, and to a lesser extent, Hermione. This wife would receive less attention, and is more of an unofficial consort. As such, she is allowed to marry a second person herself, and is only obligated to Harry when he is present. A bond would be used to locate each other.

Relationship Score Card to Date: Every few chapters, you will see a breakdown of Harry's Current Love Life.

Harold James Potter:

1 Married to Carolyn Meadhros Elwing at an unspecified time between the World Cup and Hogwarts.

2 Courting Katherine Bell beginning at the start of term.

3 Courting Fleur Delacour starting this chapter.

4. Attempted to Mistress Cho Chang ( This is what prompted Cedric to say something to Harry in the last chapter, even though it occurred "Behind the Scenes.")
