Chapter 10- the Beginning of the end
When the train started to pull away from the station Harry asked Metra what she was smiling about. He soon got his answer as different students greeted them. Some even brought them presents. They understood the idea of Christmas was foreign to them but still wanted to do it for all they had done.
The Slytherins even stopped to greet them. The best part was the Weasley twins, who only Metra could tell apart, recanting the lovely holiday where their dear foolish brother was yelled at for not only being hated and avoided by Metra and Harry, but also for possible ruining the Weasleys reputation for any future plans with the Weasleys. They warned Harry about their sister getting it in her head that he was to fall in love with the girl. Metra glared then raised her hand to show the ring.
The twins quickly hugged her danced around her.
"Congratulations. Our dear friend Metra-"
"-Who has put the girls to shame-"
"-By taking their gold-diging chances away-"
(both) "-and making Harry's Day!"
The laughter was heard all down the train car. Many students started to shiver as they all knew that laughter.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Metra and Harry had a peaceful rest of the week but after the Daily Prophet reported of the ICW trials and the clearing out of the Ministry, and stating it was all due to Harry Potter's duel with Malfoy, many students distanced themselves for the pair. Metra was pleased as it meant a lot of girls were now backing off. Harry was indifferent as he still sat at different tables during meals and those who saw him as him and not a Potter sat and chatted. A couple Purebloods still tried to demand he explain why he had the ICW interfere. They were soon subjected to pranks and Jinxes. No one dared to ask the real question till one lunch when another Pureblood fool approached.
" I Harry Aran do swear the next person to accuse me of ruining their life, without first asking who it was that was caught breaking rules and hurting others, will have to face me in a duel. So mote it be."
The room filled with a rainbow of lights before her sat down. The silence was deafening as so many started to think on that vow. 'Who was it that was in the wrong? Who was really doing the right thing and who was not? What was the exact reason their family was in trouble.?' the meal ended with the teachers agreeing to discuss with any confused students exactly what was happening.
At Lord Black's request all mail for Harry or Metra was diverted to a safe room to be scanned and sorted. Any and all cursed mail was boxed and sent to the DMLE. If someone was dumb enough not to mask their magical signature then a list was compiled for the Arans as to who sent the letters and what curse or substance was on them. The Goblins had a field day with that one as such crimes meant financial penalties. And the Arans had told the goblins to take half for the fees of everything else they were doing for them.
The school year ended but they still had no way to break the contract. Harry's contract was set up to strip all his magic even if he was expelled. He did notice that the contract was based on his need for magical education. The headmistress had a plan but it meant he still had to come the following year. She did ask Metra about the curse on the DADA position. Harry scanned and compiled the results and compared to Metra's way. They determined that since the school was getting an overhaul they should just change the title as well as that was what it was linked to. The goblins were informed and given the data they had for when Mcgonagall came to them to break it. Metra had a deal with them about that one.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Harry looked around the compound and scanned for hostiles. He had been taking out the sentries and the turrets while Metra and Samus cleared the ground floor. When he got the signal he headed inside. "They were well armed and defended but no lock downs and not enough resistance.. Either not expecting us or its a trap."
He hated being right as they ran into more resistance an hour later. The three of them wiped out the complex and took the Phazon for slow draining. Metra was happy about this one. She noticed a terminal with a familiar sign on it. They had another target and this one was to have Metroids. She hoped they were not altered as she could add them to the sanctuary on Zebes Two. The Chozo had made it a sanctuary so the G.F. Had to stay away and it would ensure there was a counter to the x-virus.
Funny thing was that since Metra was claiming Harry as her own, the other Metroids did not try to eat him. The young ones liked playing around him and he did offer a lumos orb as a snack for the Metroids They all saw Prime as Queen so they did as she commanded. That made the G. F. very cautious around her.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Back on Earth the new British Ministry had finally voted Madam Bones as the Minister and her first act was to resend so many Pureblood favored laws. The equality laws that allowed them some of their freedoms meant the Muggleborns would also benefit. The other ICW reps aided in giving examples of things that helped improve the Muggle/Wizard relations.
The Prime Minister of Muggle Britain had finally gotten a hold of Bones and they chose to meet in his office at his appointed time. The man was floored to hear all of the things that were supposed to be reported to him monthly and yearly. Bones suggested to do one better. She created a law and a department to be staffed by the Prime minister's choice. He knew of squibs that were more loyal to the crown than the wizards. She fully agreed to his staff. They would have full access to records to help solve Pureblood attack on muggle cases and to help her to get more control over the bigotry and aggression. After their meeting he took her to the palace where she was interrogated by the Queen her self. The Queen was very pleased with her replies and her actions for the Prime Minster.
When the Arans arrived they were approached by a few Aurors and the New Minister. "Arans and Prime, as the Minister of Magic of Britain, I hereby welcome you as Ambassadors to our lands. Please feel free to request any visits or just send a letter with your wishes and we will reply. I must inform you that a new department was created to allow the muggle Royalty access to your actions and they wish to speak with yourselves as well. I have no power over them so please remember that if they step out of line."
"Politics 101, never take the blame for another groups actions. Fine we will try to play nice. But if they insult Metra then all bets are off. She is in a great mood and I for one will not be the cause of her losing it." Harry waved as he headed for the gates. Metra followed and the Aurors started to whisper.
"Minister is it ok for them to be so dismissive?"
"Why would I worry about him simply advising me that he will not hold the British Magical community responsible for the actions of the Royal liaison Dept." She grinned as they realized the wording.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Lord Black had them over for dinner as he filled them in with the changes and new laws. He even laughed at the amount of fees the Goblins had collected from the cursed mail as well as attempted Magical contracts. The fact that five major businesses got loans from Dumbledore originating from the Potter account but never paid back to that account made Harry the owner of the businesses. The Quiditch supply shop. The Hogshead Tavern, a book shop in Knockturn ally, a potions ingredient warehouse. And the Daily Prophet. He was happy to here the last one as a reporter was doing all she could to make Harry look like a villain.
Harry did enjoy a few back issues of the Quibbler and one article was so spot on he just had to send a missive to them. The headline was perfect. 'Harry Potter not British, Raised by Aliens!' Metra laughed at that as she reminded him of changing his diapers.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
After the months of reformation in the school and the breaking of the cursed position, Hogwarts was ready to start teaching more subjects. And to begin full education of the Muggle world as well as the Wizarding world. The new classes were mandatory to all years.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The train ride was fun in a sense to the pair as they looked for their favorite seats. When they entered the spot they saw a girl with white-blond hair reading a Quibbler upside down. They decided to just let it be and sat in their seats with Metra laying her head in Harry's lap. After a bit Metra looked at the Quibbler and trilled. Harry looked at it as well and blinked. They were describing a race of beings that could manipulate the mind into confusion and forgetfulness. "Right you are dear, that does sound like the Tanzers. It would not surprise me if they did go trans dimensional and wind up here eventually."
The blond looked up at the voices and slowly turned to look at the two. "Oh Hello, I'm Luna Lovegood. Sorry I didn't see you there. I was working out the rune puzzle. What was that about Tanzers? I don't think I have heard of such things."
Metra tapped her wrist device till a picture of tiny creatures showed up. "Oh wow, you have a picture of Nargles? Please you have to tell me how I can get some too. I need to put it in the next edition to help father prove their existence."
"Calm down. I take it your related to the Quibblers owner. Mr. Lovegood. Father did you say. I am Harry Aran. The lovely lady you were about to pounce is Metra Prime. We would love to discuss these creatures as they have relatives in other planets. To us they are called Tanzers."
The meeting went on for a bit as they agreed with a lot of things Luna had seen but they did tell her all their stuff was not from earth. She calmed down now that their was proof and asked to look though their xenological index to see what other creatures they had in common.
The next minute the door opened as a red headed girl looked inside. Her eyes lit up at seeing Harry and already Metra's instincts flared up. "Harry my dear there you are. Shame on you for not looking for your wife sooner. I'm sure it was just a mistake but why are you with these girls. Luna why is Harry here and not looking for me?"
Luna looked at Metra and frowned. Not even Wracksperts could help her now. Metra slugged the girl in the face and right out of the door. The fact that the imprint of her ring was still visible was a good thing to her mind.
Harry held her from attacking further. And praised her for not killing the foolish girl. Then Metra trilled angrily at Harry. "Are you sure? Luna who is this girl and how is she connected to Dumbledore?"
"Harry dear...Why did...you let that girl hit me? Your supposed to protect your future wife." The girl was getting up looking more angry than hurt. Luna picked this time to step in.
"Ginny Weasley, what are you doing? Mr. Aran here is protecting his fiancee Mrs. Prime from getting in more trouble. You stormed in here with accusations of being a wife and husband and yet Ms. Prime is the one with the Engagement ring."
That did it to the girl as she shrieked and ran away from the room ranting about two timing husband and some floozy. Metra growled out at the words but calmed down. Luna looked at them and continued.
"I know her from being my neighbor and best friend but in the past couple years her mom had been grooming her to be a wife for the Boy-Who-Lived. She was never told of how you lived in another world and how you were already spoken for. I believe Molly, her mom, and Dumbledore were the ones to fill her head with such foolish fantasies. She seems to think you really are to be together."
Harry laughed as Metra pouted (cutely). He told Luna of the contract and how it was invalid due to their actions. He told of the real contract and the fact the Goblins are enforcing it for them. Anyone claiming to have a marriage contract with the last Potter will be subject to fines and fees for fraudulent actions.
Luna grinned as she asked if her dad could run that story in the Quibbler. Harry told her to wait but her dad would be allowed to get an interview with them before running the story. It would also allow her time to look through the creature database.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
When the train ended at the station, the twins confronted Harry as to what happened, their first words were, "What did our sister do?" He knew it was clearly not his day as others glared at him. He would need to speak to Mcgonagall before the feast. He told the twins to keep her under control because she would blow up at the feast.
As the others were getting in the carriages, Harry portaled them to the Great hall. Headmistress was there looking confused till Harry relayed all the events and the contracts. He wanted to have this set out in the open to avoid any more issues. He even told about the Quibbler girl, Luna.
"Mr. Aran that would be the most mature and direct form of dealing with such a situation. I shall also have a house elf send a message to Lord Black of this." Harry agreed and had Dobby send word to the Prophet that any story about this get printed, then the reporter would be brought in for review and termination. If it was Skeeter then the Aurors were to be present as well.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ginny kept looking around the room for Harry but did not see him at the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw tables. She did not even look toward the Slytherins as (in her mind) Her heroic husband would never be near the villainous snakes. Thus she missed him and Metra still sticking out like sore thumbs talking to Daphne and Tracey. After the hat started with the sorting they kept an ear out for certain names.
Luna was sent to Ravenclaw. They liked that as it showed them she was wise and liked to seek truth. Then it finally got the the Weasley girl. The hat seemed to take a bit and even chucked before sending her to Gryffindor. She was shocked that the hat basically said she should be in Slytherin but she soon got over it to start looking for Harry. She even missed the twins flanking her.
Mcgonagall stood for the speech and grinned at the frantic looking girl missing the dark blue full body suit right across from her table. " I would like to formally congratulate two honored guests of the school on an announcement they asked me to pass along. Congratulations Harry Aran and Metra Prime on the engagement and soon to be wedding. Thank you for bringing such new ideas and Knowledge to our world Ambassadors. Now again and for the new students ….(You know the spiel)."
Ginny was ready to scream if not for Fred silencing her and George sticking charm her to her seat. She looked at them and backed down at the glare they gave her. "Little sister, listen closely. Harry is not the hero you think he is. He is not even a British citizen. He grew up very far away from Britain and he grew up with the girl he's engaged to-"
"-so what is this thing your doing with trying to force someone to be your husband?"
She glared back. " I am his future wife. There is a marriage contract, mom and the old goat said so."
The twins laughed at her and shook their heads. "Little sister, What did we tell you about how the great and mighty Dumbledore was proven to be a fraud and cheat. If dad had signed such a contract then he would be a fool. As mom is a fool she signed it. Also it was in the papers saying that Harry's Guardian by magic was still Lord Black, he was in prison with no trial thus never stripped of his right and role as Godfather and guardian."
"Ginny we love you but you need to wise up fast. Come with us to talk to the Headmistress about everything mom and the Goat told you. She will get dad to look into that contract to prove it is not worth the parchment it is printed on. Besides. Why would anyone sign a contract that lets some one not of either family get all the properties and monies?"
"What? What are you... No the contract was for bride price and since I'm gonna be a Potter it will be my money anyway. Your wrong.." She was led by the twins to the Gryffindor common room.
They were going to get Poppy to look her over if this kept up.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The next few days went by slowly as the news started to spread. Two days after the announcement, The Prophet was delayed. The reason was a reporter went behind the editors back and placed her story in the print. The editor had standing orders to not send any papers out till he inspected the finished product. He was grinning ear to ear as he called the Aurors.
Harry was summoned by owl to the office as well. He was curious about the Prophet not being delivered. He did see Luna grinning as she read a letter from her dad. She was also having fun describing different creatures she saw then watching as Metra pulled it right up. The Ravenclaws were amazed and wanted to know more about them. One of the girls tried to denounce the whole creatures thing till Harry showed some recordings of him in a Sanctuary with some of the cuter ones. One recording was him 'feeding' the baby Metroids. When asked about them, He stated that was why Metra was the Ambassador of them. Both he and her can speak to them but they obey her more since she can drain them of their energy like they do to others.
She blushed as he stated she was their Queen. Cho Backed off as she realized the Arans were now friends with Lovegood. However she also sent a message to Skeeter about how Harry's fiancee was not human. Harry would not be happy about it but it was the truth. So he did not care too much. Besides, his abilities and the Chozo energies meant he was not human anymore as well.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
In the Daily Prophet...
"Ms. Skeeter. Did you or did you not bribe the printers to run your story instead of the one approved by the editor?"
"I simply told them this was the new spread, they ran it after all. Whats wrong with you people, its like I committed a crime or something. The true crime is Potter putting the hush hush on his engagement. The people have a right to know."
Harry grinned as he walked in at that moment with Metra in full armor. "So true Ms. Skeeter. However, I did tell the editor to hold off on that till after I did my personal interview. Which he and I both know was not with you. As of today the Quibbler will be the first one to run that story but with my words to back it up. Now as I had the chance to read the bullshit you call a story I will have to just let you go...don't give me that look. It's not my fault you did not pay attention as to who owns the Daily Prophet. By the way, Aurors, Ms. Skeeter is an unregistered Animagus. A beetle, and we have pictures, of her in places she should not be."
He handed to photos of different offices at the ministry with a small reddish beetle circled in the frame.
Needless to say she tried to lunge for Harry but the thick black barrel of Metra's arm backhanded her into the wall. "And attempted assault is added to the charges. Lets see if any others in the bull pen want to come forward with proof of her bribery. Remember aurors that if its blackmail they are to come to me with that detail to determine if it is worthy of jail or just fines to the Ministry."
The rest of the morning was spent getting those things situated and the Staff did come forward. However most of the black mail was only punishable under the old laws that were found as unethical. The staff were relieved to hear that and pooled some money to aid in the ministry's clean up of such laws. Skeeters Animagus was not actually illegal (by the new laws) but her activities were.
That evening he spent with Xenophilious Lovegood giving him a full interview and asking for a copy to be published in the Prophet with him as reporter. When he found out Harry was the owner and about what happened he laughed himself hoarse. Then proceeded to edit together the report and hand a copy to Harry. The editor looked at the by line and smiled. He loved his new boss.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The next morning the Quibbler and the Prophet both ran the story as well as the fact of Skeeters arrest and charges. The room read with a few murmurs till someone finally stood up and clapped. The rest soon joined save for a couple like Ginny who still believed in her contract hold over this hussy.
The classes went by and the pair retired to their rooms Metra however had to go to the Chozo to deal with an issue at the sanctuary. Some one tried to steal some babies. Harry wished her a good night as he went to bed.
Later he woke as his sense told him someone else was in the room. He tried to move but found himself tied down and for some reason naked. He looked to the side to see something fall away revealing a naked and panting Ginny. Her eyes were glazed as she looked at Harry. "Its time my dear to fulfill the contract. Your gonna take me and make me your woman then we are going to keep it up till I'm pregnant."
She crawled on to the bed looking at him with desire and lust. She kissed him with some liquid in her mouth. He felt his powers canceling it as she slowly started to get herself in position. But froze...
He had enough. The energy around the room contracted on her keeping her still as the bindings seemed to burn away. He pulled himself out from under her and snapped his fingers, watching her eyes roll back as she fainted. He bound her with the incarcerous charm and covered her as he called Dobby.
"Get Poppy and Mcgonagall now tell them there is an attempt at rape and line theft and the assailant is still here. After that get the twins. Tell them they are needed to be witness to their sister's actions.
When they started to arrive Metra was just exiting a portal looking around in confusion. Harry told them all of what happened then lead just the women to the bedroom. He left and talked to the twins. This was going too far and he suspected she had no choice in it by the time he saw her. He described the look in her eyes. They looked grim as they both stated their mom was the best Amortentia brewer they ever heard of, that was clearly a special batch.
Metra waited till the healer did her scans as did the older woman. She then walked over and touched Ginny's fore head. She growled out as she stormed off to Find Harry. She stopped near the door and picked up a cloak.
The growl followed her out till she clamped her lips and signed all she found. Harry translated, " Molly told her to wait till she could get into my room then stun me and bind me. Like a sex fantasy, then to drink something that would help her to conceive after a couple rounds with me. Dumbledore gave her that cloak telling her it was a Potter heirloom and I would be glad that my future wife had it. They have basically brainwashed the girl into believing we are already married and this was some thing they wanted to wait for till in school. They even kept a record of her periods to ensure the baby." He looked sick. "Get Arthur Weasley to come to the school and bring Aurors, Poppy put her in the medical wing and keep her tied down. Wait till he is here to see for himself all that his loving wife has done to his only daughter. Then summon her to the school, tell her something had happened to Ginny, she was found out side in the halls in a questionable state."
Everyone saw the boys mind working in ways none could believe. He even sent Dobby for Lord Black to attest to the cloak. When the Aurors and Mr. Weasley arrived Harry and Metra stayed in a closed off bed area listening near the girls bed. Sirius was nearby behind a bed curtain as well but he would have to be seen eventually
The twins were sitting beside their sister listening to her calling out for Harry and demanding he come back and fuck her till she had his baby. That was the words Mr. Weasley heard as he approached the children. "Ginerva Weasley, what did you just say? Whats going on here, I was told she was caught doing something that would endanger her life but...but..." The twins looked at him as he looked ready to kill.
"Dad. Mom did this with the help of Dumbledore."
"She was caught trying to rape Mr. Aran. She is under some very strong Amortentia and even had him tied up."
"Dad she told us that mom and Dumbledore have a marriage contract with Harry Potter and her, but its signed by mom, not you."
He looked at the girl fighting her restraints and still demanding a baby from Harry. The Aurors looked appalled as well. "My wife is to be questioned on supplying illegal lust potion to my daughter. And about a contract." he sat down as they turned but soon felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Molly headed towards them. He also saw the twins put a silencing spell on Ginny.
"What are you doing, Unhand me. I need to see my daughter, Unhand me this instant.." Arthur stood and turn to face her with a cold glare. Her words stopped mid screech. "Arthur?"
"NO. Boys lift it." The sound of Ginny crying out for Harry in lust and demanding him to act like the Husband he is was heard clearly again. The twins silenced her and hit her with a stunner.
"Wha.."
"Be Silent woman. You listen to me here and now because I know this will be a shock to you. I am A WEASLEY, family means everything and even with the twins pranking they would still know their limits. But you have gone to far. You and your constant claims that siding with Dumbledore was going to help the family. I Author Weasley place Molly Weasley in restriction of House Weasley till deemed innocent or guilty. So mote it be. Now tell me why our daughter, OUR ONLY daughter is claiming a boy she never met is her husband."
"I.. she is absorbed with the boy-who-lived..." Molly was sweating as she had to be careful not to anger him any more. She could easily be disowned from the Weasleys and the Prewitts did not really want her back either. "Well..I talked with Dumbledore who said Harry was safe and training to be a great wizard ..we discussed further cementing the alliance of our houses by a ..Marriage contract..."
"You WHAT? OK so a contract was discussed, when was it to be signed by the Head of House?" He kept his calm and waited for her to fall. It was coming and he knew it.
"We didn't really think it was going to bother you so we..signed it already...With Albus as the Magical Guardian and I as Ginny's mother. Well it was not really a good time to bother you..."
He looked at her and his lip twitched. Then twitched again. "So It was not signed by Lord Black as Godfather to Harry or by myself as Head of the Weasleys. What exactly is this part of her demanding a baby from the boy.?"
Molly started to sweat again. His words about who signed it did not fully sink in. "She wanted to ensure he would be hers as soon as possible. Did she do something to the boy?"
"No Molly, She did not. However the boy did something to her." Molly forced herself not to smile. She told Ginny to keep some of the potion in her mouth and make him drink it in a kiss. If her husband said he did something to her they could use that to force him to marry Ginny after he was the one to deflower her. "He stopped her from committing line theft."
The cold words made Molly's stomach turn. 'he stopped her'. He did not take her and he did not knock her up. What about the potion?
"Molly, how did she get this cloak?" She looked up to see the one Albus gave Ginny. " I..I think Albus told her to give it to Harry. It was a family heirloom, he wanted her to use it to start a conversation with the boy."
"One more final question from me. How long are you going to lie to me?"
Molly felt the hands of the Aurors on her shoulders as those words hit home. 'Lie to me'. He knew she lied, he knew she had a hand in this. He said it all at the beginning. Weasleys took care of family first.
She was led off by the Aurors as Lord Black and Harry stepped out. "We did not lie about Ginny's life in danger. If she had succeeded then Metra would have killed her then and there before a child could be conceived" Mr. Weasley told the aurors as Head of House he demanded Molly be given Veritaserum Lord Black also demanded a full transcript of the interrogation for the Potter records and for any charges he needed to press. The Aurors were already told to ask for anything Albus said or did while around the burrow.
Metra and Harry went to bed and tried to sleep. Well after the house elves replaced the bed Metra vaporized in her anger. It happened a few seconds after Poppy levitated the girl out of it. She said Harry's memories and testimony would be good enough.
(A/N... this author will never condone rape of any kind and that goes both ways. Sex is not meant to be a way to force people together and forcing someone is never ok for any reason. Not sexist as that goes for girls or guys doing the forcing...Thank you for hearing me out)
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
