AN

Hello all, I don't have a much to say about not updating except I had a lot going on and my computer was starting to die so I needed to replace it but couldn't due to my job. But recently I finally heard back and got the Job promotion at work I've been wanting. I originally applied in October and just go offered the job in the middle of March. I know have a House that I'm renting and potentially buying, I've purchased a brand new PC and uploaded and moved all my documents. Peace and quiet for me is helping me start writing again. Which is all this update really is. Just a small update to let you know I'm alive, still kicking, and still updating and working on all my stories. Yes, even Bid of a Lifetime. I've decided it's time to finish that story. Update on my book is that I've finished the final edits, created a index for all of the words that are peculiar to my world and the language in it. As well as everything else it'll need. Meaning it's now going to the printer for me to get my demo version of the printed book. So it will soon be available online for a physical copy, or an E-book whichever you prefer. I'm also a few chapters into the next book in the series, and working on 3 other original book series to hopefully work on printing/publishing with my publisher once this first book hits the shelves. I'll be putting up a chapter on every story the day of release for my book with where you can find the book, (I.E. Amazon/Barnes&Noble under the name Alphalyon Book One: Fosgdl) Etc. for the other websites and whatnot. But, yes, things are going well and I'll be updating much more now that I'm back in my own place with just me and my dog. Thank you all for your reviews and well wishes and checking in. It really helped to keep me motivated for getting updated.

AN for No Matter What

Hello all you wonderful Harry Potter fans and followers of No Matter What. As with my other stories, I've just updated this one with a small little chapter and as a way to clear some things up. So here we go.

First of all, many where confused by the last chapter, it wasn't Harry getting hurt again, or anything like that. It was simply Harry's POV during the time after breaking down the doors and rescuing Daphne from Nott. As we saw in Chapter 8 it was mostly from Daphne's POV for Harry's Maturation, and then her going back to Hogwarts and spending time without him and then their reunion. While Chapter 9 was what was happening to Harry form the time he went unconscious and had his maturation, to waking up and returning to Hogwarts with Daphne. So, no worries it wasn't Harry getting hurt, or in trouble again. It was simple something of a back-track to see what had happened with him while he was going through his Maturation etc. So no worries.

Second of all, a larger chapter is in the works and will be hopefully updated soon. I'm trying to update all of my current ongoing stories with a small chapter of 1200-1500 words or so. I think this one was at 1460 or so before my AN and whatnot. It could have been bigger I'm not positive. But anyways. Here's a quick update for you all. I love and appreciate all your review, follows and favorites. So thanks! Please Read and Review if you so desire.

Chapter 10

They were lying in bed after a rather… intense session of lovemaking. Having moved from Daphne's mind blowing, blow job. To making love on the card table, to the couch they asked the room to provide. To the bed, to the… Well many places were used to make love, and several potions were ingested to help them use all those places.

Now they were just lying in a sweaty pile on the bed, only barely covered by the sheets to cool down before sleeping.

"So, when are you going to tell me what that ring is covering up?"

She laughed at Harry's shocked face to her question as he looked down at her in disbelief. "I can't get anything past you can I? How'd you know it covering something up?"

I can sense a small bit of magic coming from it. And since it's not a signet ring or anything of importance from the look of it. I figured it had to be hiding something, or a new tracking method for your parents. Since you haven't done any running off since you've started here at Hogwarts…"

"Fair enough. Well I'm glad you brought it up. I have quite the tale for you." And so he began telling her of his meeting with his birth parents, and the three goddesses afterwards. And what they'd said about himself, her and his new baby sister. "So basically, I'm now a champion for three goddesses. And somehow through my transformation I've affected you as well and we're not sure what that might do for your own maturation you've got coming up."

"Wow…. That's a lot to take in. I know I've said it before but…. You really can't keep things normal and calm can you? You've always got to go one step further. Cross that line don't you?" She said with a smile at his offended look.

"I'll have you know. That I attempted to get away from those three goddesses with nothing added on. I even told them I didn't want any more trouble like that! How was I supposed to know they'd get frustrated by that and decide to all choose me."

"I know baby. I'm just teasing. All right, I'll just have to be ready then. You'll be there for my maturation, right? Stay with me for it?"

"If that's what you want then I'll absolutely be there to help. So long as your parents are alright with it?"

"I've already mentioned I wanted you at least in the room. They said that would be fine. Now, show me those tattoos will you?"

"Dad asked me not to take it off for long—"

"Just for a moment. Let me get a good look at them. Pleeaaassseee?" She completed her bedding by sitting up and letting the sheet slide off her body as she straddled his waist so he was looking up her nude body, his eyes stuck on her bountiful breasts whose nipples were already starting to pebble with excitement as he felt himself growing beneath her beautiful ass.

"Fiine. But only for a moment." He pulled it off, keeping it in his hand as he moved his arms up so she'd have a good view of each marking.

Her eyes raked up and down his body as the tattoos appeared, glowing with power. Hungrily her gaze devoured him as he felt her core moisten over him. She leaned over, rock hard nipples pressed against his chest as she leaned down, one hand beneath her to line him up with her as she whispered in his ears.

"Those are the hottest thing I've ever seen. I just may need to get my own." With a smile and gasp of please she impaled herself upon him and began riding him for all he was worth. The ring forgotten on the bed as they restarted their lovemaking.

Amelia and Sirius were waiting in James office while he was doing a checkup on Lyra with her lay between them on a table, looking up at them from where she was with a smile and a giggle. James casting various charms to check the baby's health while she gurgled happily.

"Well, the good news is she's physically as happy as can be. Nothing wrong with her, in another month we can give her all her shots and potions she'll need. Next step is her magic." Quickly moving over to a cabinet, he pulled out a small package filled with what look liked small packets of some powder. Grabbing one he came over.

"Now, as you know this powder will act like a magical allergy. She will more than likely sneeze due to this, but it will get a small bout of accidental magic that will be measure by the runes on the table. Anything out of the ordinary will appear here briefly. Now Amelia you might also experience something odd, as we know you to were affected by Harry's maturation so if that was anything magical that will show up now. Are you both ready?"

With a nod in the affirmative they braced themselves as James brought the small package underneath the infants nose with both hands and broke it.

What occurred was a moment of utter chaos that none of them could have prepared for. She sneezed, disappearing from sight as frost and ice shot out the bottom of her nose freezing the table and the lower half of James. While at the same time a ring of fire erupted around Amelia while she desperately searched the room for the baby who appeared in the air above Sirius. His excellent reflexes and magic reacting on instinct to summon the small baby into his arm who looked just as surprised as he did, with a small frost moustache and all.

Sirius was the first to begin laughing as Amelia tried to put the flames out around her and James started thawing his lower half and the table. Soon they were all laughing as little Lyra still looked rather surprised while sniffling as if her nose still tickled.

"I must say…. That is a first. Elemental magic so young. And for it to appear in you Amelia so many maturations after your first. This… this is incredible." James finally spoke.

"I'm as surprised as you are. Though I must say it'll be nice to have a new weapon in my arsenal. I'm surprised it didn't show up much sooner. Though I surprise I've already had such a good affinity for it. And, as you so kindly mentioned having so many maturation and my magic being so in tune and my body in such good shape. My natural control and occlumency must have just kept it all in check until I'd need it or a desperate situation came about. I'll have to start working fire into my workout routines."

"Yes, and our little frost child. That will be good to use once her accidental magic really starts taking off. If she's anything like Harry was, it'll be non-stop winter inside the house unless you and he keep her in check."

"You sound a bit disappointed that you don't have some cool powers dear husband of mine." Amelia said with a smile, leaning over and kissing her slightly pouting husband on the tip of his nose while taking Lyra from his hands to blow a raspberry on her belly drawing forth a laugh from the little baby.

"She's got a fair bit of power too it looks like. Nothing crazy, but like her mother she'll be in the upper echelon of female witches in terms of power. And with the elemental magic tossed in, you'll be hard pressed to find a male that will be able to beat her I'd wager. If she's all trained up like you two, and Harry are.

They shared a look. "If we have our way James. This war will be long gone by the time she's an adult. Don't get us wrong, she'll still be trained to wipe the floor of any ill-intentioned man or woman she comes across at any point in her life. But, certainly not to the way we've trained Harry. Not if we have anything to say about it." Sirius spoke in a voice as pointed and Serious as he's ever spoken. Amelia nodding her agreement as she pulled Lyra to her chest and drew herself closer to her husband.
