…Office of the Headmaster, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Albus Dumbledore sat in his office looking around hoping to find some answers in the empty spaces. His eyes traveled over the location that used to hold the objects that tracked Harry Potter. They had all stopped working or self-destructed. Not that he needed them as the boy was a fixture in the newspaper now.
His latest feat of wonder was to successfully breed his guardian "Drakes" and gift them to the young women in his life. He was sure that he had lost a bit of Hagrid's absolute loyalty when the boy mentioned in the resulting interview that it was the kind-hearted Hogwarts gamekeeper who gave him the idea. The large man had not stopped praising the boy for sharing credit. It was not something people in the Wizarding world typically did unless forced.
His eyes continued to search his office and it landed on the latest edition of the Prophet. It seemed that someone had acquired the newspaper. Most would not notice the subtle shift in the articles but it would be clear to everyone soon enough. Whoever owned the paper now was not owned or influenced by the ministry or any of the traditionalists.
That was a major concern for Albus. Not only had the traditionalist, of which he himself was one, lost an important tool to guide the masses, but he had not been able to find out who the new owners where. The old owner had taken a magical oath not to divulge it. The man had been a staunch traditionalist himself so Albus could not imagine what offer was made to hand over the paper to a progressive and take an oath to keep it secret.
The headline today was about the grand opening of the "Grimmauld Commons". Albus sighed and thought "At least I can count on Sirius Black to attempt the most salacious and offensive project possible".
Gambling and prostitution was not things that should exist in the light. It should stay in the backrooms of Knockturn Alley was Albus' opinion. Sirius' "adult playground", as he was calling it, was attempting to bring legitimacy to the illegitimate. But the man was rich and powerful and had the backing of all the major players of the day.
Albus sighed again as he realized he was not in that circle. Albus started to wonder if Sirius was not a chess master himself as he had been responsible for cutting the legs out of the only two people who might have been able to stop him.
The Malfoy's were the laughing stock of the pureblood elite after being devastated by Sirius' vengeance. Rumors ran rampant as to why his revenge had been so harsh. The current rumor was that Narcissa had known of his innocence and left him to rot in hopes of getting the Black headship for her son. If true it would justify kicking both her and her son out of the family.
The other person who could scuttle Sirius' plans had been Alvin Nott. But somehow Sirius had gutted half the man's fortune and gotten it turned over to Remus. That was the move that had made Albus pause. It should have taken years to execute such a plan and Sirius had done it in less than a year after being in prison, with Dementors, for a decade.
The deal was so devastating that Albus, with all his connections had only been able to get the figures but not how it had happened. He knew that in the end Nott had acquired an Acromantula colony. But how had that led to Alvin Nott taking such a huge financial hit. Albus first thought that Sirius had stolen Lucius' for Nott, but quickly discovered that Lucius' farm was still intact. It was the only thing the man really still had. He had then recalled Hagrid griping about his missing pet.
He nodded as his sharp intellect solved yet another puzzle. Sirius had stolen Hagrid's pet, given it to Nott to start a colony to complete with Malfoy and somehow got half of Nott's fortune to Remus. Albus smiled as a new puzzle materialized to replace the old. How could so much be done with one, likely large, Acromantula? Albus loved puzzles. It was doubtful this new mystery would be solved as Albus did not know that Hagrid had found a mate for his pet and the forbidden forest had been overrun with them.
His eyes scanned the room once again and he landed on a letter from Severus. He was once again trying to get the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. It was a stupid letter as the curse on the position had been broken and Professor Capstonson was rejoining them for the coming year. He could only imagine what Minerva would do to him if he fired the man without cause.
He would never have given him the position but Severus had proven his usefulness once again with the information he had brought to him. He resolved to find some token to reward the man with. Focusing his mind on Severus' discovery, he could only shake his head at the damage his staff was causing. He could only imagine the carnage that could have been caused if Severus did not have the confidence of the former death eaters and their children. To value house points and potions grades above the greater good would see their world destroyed and it was obvious that Minerva and the staff were blind to that fact.
Severus had uncovered Lucius' plan and it involved smuggling a dark artifact into the castle and using it to cause death and destruction. Albus had first thought to thwart this attack and show his importance, but instead he now intended to watch it. In the end, perhaps some of the staff might not be around anymore to stand in the way of the greater good.
He looked at the newspaper at an article about an upcoming book signing and smiled to himself. He had just thought of another way to try and sew some dissent among the staff and perhaps regain some control. It was imperative if Tom was to be stopped.
…Potter Castle, Potter Estates
It was the middle of August and Harry had gotten his friends back. Ron, Lavender and Hermione were once again hanging out with them. They had finished Phillip Brown's course and the three looked much more deadly to Harry's eye.
Hermione was wearing a collar similar to Karli's and Harry smiled. They had told him the story on their first night back together.
...Flashback
"I have to know" Karli said into the easy silence. "Hermione, why are you wearing a collar?" Hermione blushed at the question and then again at all the eyes focused on her. She instinctually buried herself more into Ron's side.
Ron said with a chuckle. "Stand up and tell them, Hermione. We are all friends and I'm sure they'd like to know. And don't leave anything out. Or I might punish you." Hermione shuddered in fear and pleasure. She shivered a little when Lavender ran a finger down her jaw and said "Yes, pet. Stand and tell them"
...End Flashback
Mostly, their time together slipped back into the easy friendships, flirtations, and flashed panties of the previous year. Well it did after Harry got Ron and Lavender to stop calling him "milord" or "Master Potter". At first he thought he had lost his friends to the social barriers of the wizarding world, but figured out they were just messing with him.
Hermione's story night had also created a greater comfort level within the group it was not odd to find Ron and Ginny kissing or Harry giving naked massages to Lavender in the gardens. It was during these times that Harry started to do minor "wandless" magic.
He made it seem as if he was as surprised as everyone else and like it only worked when he wasn't paying attention. Like when he accidentally made all the girls panties disappear when Susan had spread her legs to tease him.
It had also been noticed that he was able to channel his lust through his fingers and give out orgasms when he wanted. He had caught Ron and Ginny kissing once and used it on both of them. He had burst out laughing every time he saw them for the rest of the day.
Harry and Ron had also taken to ordering their respective slaves to offer sexual favors as payment for minor bets the boys had taken to making with each other or as a method to settle card or chess games. The activities never reached orgasm and was more playful than overtly sexual.
Into this playful atmosphere Daphne began to bring Tracey around. By the end of her first visit it was clear she had a serious crush on Ron. They had not tamped down on their sexual play with Tracey's presence and it didn't take long for her to be recruited as an impartial judge between Ron and Harry.
They would constantly cause her to blush when Harry would accuse her of not being impartial because "She can't keep her panties dry when Ron's in the room. You can practically hear her coochie squeaking when she walks" to which Ron would reply "I haven't claimed her yet so she's still our best bet" Harry would sigh and agree and then they would use her as a judge. Talking about her in such a way and Ron's casual use of "yet" left her excited and confused.
The bet would usually involve them kissing her and asking who was the better kisser. Or kissing one the other girls and asking who looked better doing it. Anytime she judged Harry the winner Ron would rub his hand on her butt and when she said he was he would kiss her again. Her desire to have him do both to her; kept her pretty honest.
Other than constantly embarrassing her about her obvious crush on Ron, she had a fabulous time hanging out with them. They played around and went swimming and horseback riding. She thought Hermione and Lavender would be distant with her since everyone was making fun of her crush but they were super nice to her too.
Ginny and Luna had received their Hogwarts letters on their birthdays and it was time to go get their supplies. Harry and his fellow second years already had most of their supplies and only needed to replenish their potion kits.
They day before they planned to go to Diagon Alley, Ron cornered Tracey and kissed her softly on the lips. It was deep and the most passionate thing that had ever happened to her. He didn't say anything before or after; just held her, kissed her and then left her to almost faint. She didn't know what was supposed to happen and it was driving her mad as everyone treated her as if she was one of Ron's girlfriends, even Ron, but nothing was said about it officially.
She let out a breath and marched into the sitting room where everyone was lounging about and walked up to Ron and said "what was that?" He smiled at her and asked "what was what?'. She pointed out that he had just kissed her in the kitchen and he pointed out that he regularly kissed his girlfriends. That had made her freeze as the crowd chortled.
Ron stopped teasing her and pulled her into a hug and another kiss. She wrapped her hands around him and sighed. He pulled her over to Hermione Lavender who pulled her down to sit with them as they looked through a giant Transfiguration text Hermione had found in Harry's library.
Later that night it was time to introduce Tracey to the animagus potion. She was already adept at Occlumency as that was a requirement of most of the families with histories in Slytherin. Harry took her hand and entered her mind to help her find her spirit animal.
Tracey was an Ifrit. He recognized her form due to the similarity between it and the Lycan wolf form. The Ifrit was more dog like than the Lycan wolf form and was only about 3 feet tall. Ifrits also had skin that looked like molten lava.
They could change size but could only grow when in a fire and could only maintain a size relative to the size and intensity of the fire. The largest recorded Ifrit was the one that dived into the great Chicago fire in the 1800's. It did not start the fire as Ifrits cannot create the fire that sustains them and they are known to not cooperate with each other.
After telling the group they all talked about the powers she expected to have and she announced that she intended to be a squirrel like Daphne and Hermione. Harry started calling them the chipettes which led to some time in his movie room to show the magicals what he was referring to.
Tracey went to sleep happy that she had a fire form like Ron. It made her feel like a truer member of the group. Lavender put Tracey down between her and Ron as she could tell that the girl had been worried that she would not be accepted had she not been a fire creature. It was silly but lavender understood how things like that could shake someone's confidence. Lavender let the girl snuggled next to Ron and be happy that her place had been confirmed in her mind.
…Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley, London
Once again Justine was to be their adult chaperone. They traveled by floo and all gathered at the Leaky Cauldron before moving on into the Alley. Harry kitted out his two new Hogwarts girls with all the same stuff as had been bought the previous year. He did insist that Susan, Daphne and Tracey get outfitted with formal robes and dresses.
Ron and Harry ended up waiting outside as the girls destroyed Twilfitt and Tatting's. He didn't even look at the final bill and just signed it so they could move on. The day went well until they reached Flourish and Blotts and discovered a crowd. Apparently, some author named Gilderoy Lockhart was signing books.
Ginny noticed that a set of his books was an item on her book list and everyone confirmed the same. Harry was irritated that they would have to buy an entire book series for a class. He doubted they could get through all the books in a year.
Ginny also mentioned that her mom was a huge fan and thought it would be nice to get an autograph for her. The group gathered the books they wanted and then waited in the line. Harry had grown used to the whispers and stares that followed him wherever he went but made sure to pay attention to them in case some important information came up.
So it was a little disconcerting when the whole place went quiet. He looked up in time to see a tall blonde in very loud and finely tailored robes was looking at him. "Is that Harry Potter?" The man reached to grab at Harry and found himself on the floor with a glowing wand pointed at his face.
Gilderoy Lockhart loved attention and fame. His books had made him comfortable but he was not wealthy. But he was famous. He like to think that the only two people more famous than him was Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter.
So he had been irritated when his activities had disappeared from the Daily Prophet and instead there was constant news about Remus Lupin and Sirius Black and the gorgeous women that accompanied them everywhere.
When the aforementioned Headmaster of Hogwarts had approached him about running a dueling class at the school, he had jumped at it. He would be the teacher and mentor of Harry Potter and that would bring him back to the front page of the papers.
It had all worked out perfectly in Lockhart's mind. Harry Potter had walked into his book signing. A picture with him along with the news that he would be the new dueling instructor would be a front page story. He had even planned to bribe a reporter to imply in the article that he would be mentoring the young heir.
As his eyes focused on the glowing wand, he heard and felt the flashing of the cameras, he wondered how it had gone all wrong. It was time to spin it, back to his favor "Woah, young man, what do you think you are doing" Gilderoy barked, trying to take the upper hand in the conversation but was smacked down immediately by the boys equally aggressive answer.
"I am Ron Weasley, sworn Retainer to the House of Potter and personal guard to Master Potter, the future Lord and Head of the House of Potter. It is my sworn duty to protect him from attackers, be they assassin or…groupie".
The crowd giggled at the notion that Gilderoy Lockhart was a groupie. The man was getting angry but dared not move as throughout the speech meant to embarrass him, the wand had not moved. He looked to Harry Potter who was standing regally and realized that the boy did not intend to call of his attack dog and would likely make the front page on his own now and decided retreat was the better part idea at that point.
"I do apologize Heir Potter, I meant no disrespect. I only wished to greet you as I am to be one of your new professors." Everyone turned to him and Gilderoy once again felt comfortable with the way things had turned. Harry nodded to Ron who put away his wand and went to help the man up. As Gilderoy stood and brushed himself off with a flourish, he opened his mouth to suggest that he had allowed himself to be detained because of the situation but was not truly defeated when there was a flash of spell fire and a scream.
…3 Minutes Earlier
Draco Malfoy and his father entered the book store and despite the crowd that was mingling, Draco instantly saw his nemesis. Harry Potter had done nothing but insult his family from the moment they had met. Without trying he had destroyed his standing in Slytherin and his godfather had practically destroyed the Malfoy name.
He looked to the redheaded boy by his side and growled at the back of his throat. That the Weasley's were rising at the same pace of the Malfoy fall was just adding insult to injury. He looked to the sexy blonde next to Weasley and ground his teeth. That Ron Weasley seemed to be collecting women as fast as the blasted Harry Potter was and that he, Draco Malfoy, was barely hanging on to Pansy Parkinson was the last straw.
He took a breath to calm himself. His father had been teaching him in harsh and painful ways that his arrogance had contributed to his own misfortune. He had ignored all of this father's lessons and as his father said "acted like a Gryffindor". His father's words had hurt more than the beatings or cruciatus curses he'd been forced to endure.
His father had been training him during the summer. He knew his father had been a death eater and believed the man had been doing good work, ridding their world of filth like the Weasleys and the mudblood slut, Granger.
His father had, this summer, finally started to prepare him. His father had trusted him with the plan to smuggle a dark artifact into Hogwarts where it would kill their enemies before turning on the victim.
They had instantly both wanted a Weasley to be the victim, though Draco wanted Ron. His father had chosen a better target. The baby Weasley bitch. It would tear out the family's heart to know she had been the cause of the deaths before dying herself and never truly knowing what happened.
Word had spread fast when Potter and his followers had entered the alley. He and his father had been waiting for this occurrence and had rushed there. They had tracked their prey to the book store and it was now Draco's job to cause a distraction.
He smiled as he watched Weasley overplay his position to try and embarrass Lockhart. Just like a Gryffindor to try and show off and leave their responsibilities unattended. He could kill Potter right now, while the redhead moron was babbling. But his family needed Potter to suffer and he would not be offered the kindness of a quick death.
He pulled his wand and prepared to create a distraction. "Nothing said Potter had to come away unscarred" Malfoy thought as he aimed his wand. He mumbled the Diffindo spell and before he could articulate the last syllable, he watched in horror as his hand separated from his wrist and it, still holding his glowing wand, fell to the ground with a splat. When it hit the magic in the wand released in a harmless flash of light.
He screamed and watched as his father vanished in the pressing crowd. He felt abandoned by the man and then remembered their mission. He had successfully created a distraction but would no doubt be punished for the added embarrassment to the family name.
Someone came up to him and started casting healing spells at his missing hand and he was further embarrassed to see it was the Granger mudblood. He wanted to tell her to leave him but it was known the bitch was a genius and would likely help save his hand. He looked down and noticed that she was very sexy and blushed when she caught him looking.
She stepped away from him after casting a stasis spell on both his hand and the stump and said "It's ok to look but you aren't man enough to touch, Drakey". Draco's ears burned red in embarrassment and the snickers from the crowd. That is when his father showed back up looking smug and then put on an angry face.
"Who has done this to my son?" he screamed. At the same moment, two Aurors stepped up and said "That is what we would like to know as well". Draco was trying to decide who he could reasonably cast suspicion on when the Weasley's blonde whore stepped forward and said "I saw him trying to cast a Diffindo and I think it backfired"
Draco looked to her shocked. She had seen him. How was that possible? Then he saw the slight smirk and realized she had been the one to remove his hand. He would never figure out that Ron and Lavender were partners as much as lovers and that she had moved to cover him and Harry when he confronted Lockhart. Hermione had moved too but she did it out of love and friendship not duty.
He was about to accuse her when the Auror picked up his wand and cast Prior Incantato. The incomplete spell formed and the Auror's nodded at each other. They looked at the boys hand and congratulated Hermione on her quick thinking and good spell work.
One of the Aurors even said she would make a fine Healer if she so chose. Hermione beamed under the compliment. Then she blushed when she felt Ron who had moved next to her pinch her bum. Draco and his hand was taken to St. Mungos and to be questioned about the curse he had tried to cast and the crowd dispersed to spread the latest excitement around Harry Potter.
As the crowd dispersed, Gilderoy looked around in shock. "What just happened?" he said out loud and heard a snickering behind him. He turned and looked at Mr. Blotts who was present for the book signing. "You just got trampled by the Potter effect" the man said. "That boy has mastered chaos and wherever he goes he lets it run rampant. I know you have hopes of getting on board of his coat tails, but be careful. It might be best if you enjoy the little fame you have." At that the man walked away.
Gilderoy was angry. How dare that man say such things? He would be the mentor of Harry Potter and with some careful use of the memory charm might become a noble in his own right.
…Potter Castle, Potter Estates
As soon as the group crossed the wards, Harry felt the cursed diary trigger his alarms. It was a passive threat at the moment so his wards had simply notified him of it presence and not gone into attack mode. He let everyone go to put their things away and followed Ginny to her rooms.
When Ginny saw him she jumped up and wrapped her hands around his neck and her feet around her waist. She loved how small she was in comparison to him and loved the feeling of being in his arms. Harry had come to collect the dark object but was perfectly willing to be distracted by the needy witch. He carried her to her bed and put her down on it.
He left the sleeping girl in her bed and went through her things until he found a familiar looking book. He chuckled, it seemed that he couldn't help but find Tom's trinkets. Without trying he had already found all but the ring. He considered going to collect it now but once again could not see the point. . He would get it eventually and then kill the dark wanker when he showed his face again.
Since he knew who it was that Tom left the book with, it wasn't too hard to figure out that there was a Malfoy plot afoot. For a moment he was disappointed in the Weasley family that they had been taken by such a pathetic family but then stopped that thought. He was much more advantaged than they had been and they had put their lives on the line while not protected by oath merely as a matter of honor. Actions like that should never be mocked, no matter the outcome.
Plus their daughter was very delicious and kinky and that bought a lot of forgiveness in his book. He pondered the book and the memories that were associated with it and got a feral smile. Yes, he would be having fun this year at Hogwarts.
He had already planned to try out for the Quiditch team, but know he had a plan on how to cause some more chaos and perhaps right a few historical wrongs. He thought of the stress he would likely cause the headmaster and did not care. He was unsure if the man was evil or just deluded but he was sure that much of the problems in the Wizarding world could be laid at the man's feet.
The next day was another great day for Harry Potter and his friends as their wands showed up. It was not a surprise as Neville's family had received theirs the week before. The connection with them was perfect as the each picked up their "legends". The wands were powerful and since Potter Castle blocked the magical trace, the children went to an empty field outside the gates and had tested them. That devolved into a prank war and a happy group of horned, antlered, half naked children made their way back to the castle for dinner.
…Grimmauld Commons, London
Sirius stood in his new penthouse apartment that overlooked his new empire. The entire Black property in London had been used to create this city and Sirius was the owner and ruler of it all. The property was under a Potter ward scheme that kept the new city hidden from view.
Black Manor was at the north end of the Commons and had been refurbished to look more like a castle than a simple manor. It was surrounded by a gold gate and was the official residence of Lord Black. Sirius was currently in the Penthouse Apartment of the Lily Flower Hotel and Casino. It would be his unofficial and more permanent residence and it was "on the strip" on the opposite end from Black manor.
It was both a tribute and a prank on his first true love. Sirius had loved Lily Evans almost as much as Prongs had but he knew in his heart that he was not the type of man that could make her happy. He believed she loved him too, almost as much as she did Prongs and it made their friendship perfect. He had found the little extra that was missing in Camille and it was what made him decide that he would ask the woman to marry him.
The hotel was built with the exacting standards of Lily Potter in mind. It was class at its best. Nothing gaudy or flashy. But it also contained a brothel. But even that area was decorated in soft neutral colors and tasteful accessories. It stood eight storeys high with two levels for the casino and 400 rooms. It also had a spa, 2 bars and a restaurant. It was a building he was sure Lily would adore before slapping him for putting a brothel in it.
The brothel would be the most exclusive in the whole area. It was a member's only "club" and you could only join by invitation. Membership would be a one-time fee and would be determined based on the member and not a flat rate. All the women made a salary and were available on a first come first serve basis, by appointment and no payment or tip was required.
The women too, were selected with meticulous care and trained to be the epitome of class, sophistication and seduction. They dressed to accentuate and titillate, without being risqué. Sirius was sure Lily would love him and hate him for all the care he put into her namesake hotel and casino.
As a final prank, every hostess and waitress, was expected to maintain the same level of class and sophistication though they did not offer any sexual favors. But their uniform did include charming their hair red. All the women, escort, hostess or waitress were expected to entertain and flirt with all the guests. But only the members could take the escorts back to their room for private entertainment.
The "strip" was a section of the road that ended at Black Manor and started with the magical port. The port, named the Arcturus Black International Magiport, or AB International, was a Half-moon shaped two story building that could handle 1,000 travelers per day.
Lily Flower Hotel on one side and The Delphi Hotel across from it were the first two hotels on the strip after Ab International. 6 Hotels in total, 3 on each side of the road covering the three blocks to the manor. East of the strip was 3 square blocks that made up the shopping and restaurant district.
Sirius stood in his penthouse apartment and looked over the shopping district. He was especially proud of the shopping district. Potter Enterprises, Vector Industries and New Amazon Inc. owned or operated 60% of the stores and had used the muggles as an example to create a high class shopping district. They sold high-end, magically charmed items from jewelry to cars.
The products from Arthur Weasley's shop made up one store on its own and sold an array of wonders that magicals had never considered. The item that was expected to cause riots was called the "Portable Floo" The tagline in the Daily Prophet had been "Port Me, No Powder Needed". The item was based on a muggle invention called the cellular phone.
The remaining 40% of the district was taken up by other companies. The Longbottoms and their Vassals had a series of shops to sell their reserve line of potions and ingredients and there was even a health and beauty shop called "Rejuvenate" that only a few knew was a Longbottom enterprise as well.
The district had some international companies as well and Sirius had used every loophole afforded a Prima Potentia Magicae Lord to avoid any legal problems. If it wasn't going to stay in the country, you could even buy magic carpets in the district.
Firebolt and Nimbus had opened broom showrooms as well, with brooms on the very top end of the scale. Handmade, so fast they required limiters that could be turned off if desired and outrageously expensive.
Sirius' penthouse was the entire top floor of the Lily Flower with glass walls all around. He turned from his spot overlooking the shopping district and looked across the strip to the Delphi Hotel and the lights that shown behind it. That was the Entertainment District.
The Delphi was 6 storeys high and Sirius could see some of the smaller buildings of the entertainment district on the other side of it. That district was split into three section. On one end closest to Black Manor was the "Red Light" district that held the two public brothels. While not as exclusive as the one in his hotel, they were very discerning in their clientele. One brothel held only Succubae and the other had Veela. His had a mix of both and included human men and women.
The district also housed the strip clubs, of which there were four. All six establishments were actually owned by the Veela and Succubae conclaves. And the strip clubs had a variety of women including Succubae, Veela, Wood and Water Nymphs and one club had mermaids.
The next section held all the "off-strip" bars and night clubs. These establishments had diverse ownership and had eclectic offerings to encourage people to come and visit. The areas main attraction was the multiple live bands that would be hired to play at the various establishments.
The third section was the largest and was were the theatres were. There were 10 theatres that had stage shows, concerts, ballets, orchestras and one that showed muggle cinema. The muggle cinema had a six month waiting list already.
Surrounding the entire area were small homes and apartments that housed the staff of his little city. He had employed Lycans and men from Vector Securities to handle the security and all the waitresses and hostesses for his casino hotel were his Valkyries. The other businesses had even hired many of the muggleborn men and women that were not swallowed by Minerva's efforts and the Commons was currently the single largest employer in England.
His city was an international sensation and it hadn't officially opened yet. This was the opening weekend and every hotel room was taken as was all the rooms at the Leaky Cauldron, who had taken the overflow.
Like the Notts, he had spent half his family's 1.25 Billion galleon fortune on the enterprise and he was ecstatic. Before this venture the Blacks had been the wealthiest wizarding family on the planet. And for the time being that title belonged to an American. That would not last long as his rental income was to be about G130 M per year and he expected his hotel to bring in another G25 M - G30 M in revenue.
It was 11:00 and he would throw the ceremonial dice at midnight that would start all areas operating. "Sirius" he turned to the voice and saw the seven girls of his Harem. He had set out to create a "Hot Squib Girl" Harem for himself and had succeeded. He actually had over 100 girls in that Harem and had had some sexual contact with all of them. But these seven were his girls and the rest were just women that he protected and allowed an opportunity at a safe and happy life.
They were all dressed in Acromantula silk dresses that clung to their curves beautifully. He moved to Camille and kissed her before kissing each of his other girls. He turned back to Camille and said "Oh, I forgot something" Her curious face turned to shock when he dropped to his knee and asked her to marry him.
Camille wanted to say yes but her mouth would not obey her in her shock. Finally Brianna elbowed her and she was able to scream yes a jump into Sirius' arms. After he placed the ring on her finger and she kissed him. She paled as realization dawned.
She turned to the other girls in fear that they would think she had stolen him behind their back. But they hugged her and told her it was OK. He had spoken to each of them first and gotten their blessing. They all loved each other and would forever be a family but the Lord Black needed a wife and Camille had loved them all first and deserved the title. They had all agreed to be concubines.
The youngest two added "He's our daddy, he can't be our husband". The girls left her alone with Sirius and she turned just in time be drawn into another kiss. Sirius stated to rub her through her thin dress and she felt herself succumbing to his power and presence as usual. She tried to tell him they had a ceremony to go to. His answer of "You will go with my cum inside of you" shut down all resistance.
At midnight Sirius and his seven women participated in the opening ceremonies at The Grimmauld Commons. Sirius stood at the craps table and threw out the ceremonial dice. He lost the chip he had bet but everyone cheered and the lights in the city all turned on.
It was another invention from Potter Enterprises that mimicked the look of neon lights and the city alight would have been enough to bring the attention of the magical world. But there was more than just that to see.
Sirius traveled to each of the six casinos on his strip and participated in a ceremonial magical game of chance. At the third stop they found the first cheat. A man had drank liquid luck and attempted to go gamble. He had been found out both by the wards and a Lycan guard's sense of smell.
His luck would keep him alive but only barely and by the morning it would be known that trying to cheat at the Commons was a bad idea. People starting saying it was better to try and cheat a goblin which was a high compliment and irritated the goblins to no end. They were made happy when a thief tried to test the truth of that at the Commons branch of Gringotts and did not survive.
…Lily Flower Casino, Grimmauld Commons
Remus arrived at the Lily Flower Casino with Stephanie, Michelle and Blanche. Stephanie was dressed in a very tight black cocktail dress that did not go past the top of her thighs and he was in the standard tight pants, no top and silver sash. Michelle wore a dress similar to Stephanie's except she also had a collar. Remus held a leash that was clipped to the collar and walked ahead of them. Next to Stephanie, also in a short tight cocktail dress was Blanche.
Blanche was a Veela and was the newest member of Remus' harem. She had the standard blonde hair with small B-cup breasts and was thin but not emaciated. Like Michelle she had been a sudden addition to his collective. She was the first of two women Stephanie had selected for him. She could not stand her alpha having so much fewer lovers than his friend and nephew and had taken it upon herself to correct that.
She was determined that he would have a Lycan, a human, a Veela and Succubae. No matter how many women Sirius collected, he would never match the sexuality of those four women. Her alpha was a man of honor, though, and would not collect women only for sex. So Blanche had to seduce him and show her worth as a person, as well as a lover, and they would become a couple before the next woman had her opportunity.
The plan had gone flawlessly. Blanche was the sister of the French Minister's wife. When Stephanie had met Apolline Delacour she had been saddened that the woman was already married as she had the intelligent and whit that Remus found most appealing in women.
When Blanche had been introduced, Stephanie soon changed her opinion and her target. Interacting with her sister allowed Stephanie to notice that Apolline was a true politician's wife and despite being beautiful and funny and charming, Stephanie knew it was Blanche that would make a better fit for her Remus.
Blanche had all the qualities of her sister but was also irreverent and sometimes inappropriate much to the chagrin of Apolline. She had charmed Remus without any help from Stephanie. Stephanie had laughed at his obliviousness to her flirting and had found the girl later to put her mind at ease.
The Veela had tried to apologize when Stephanie confronted her. She told the Lycan Alpha bitch that she had not meant for her flirting to go so far but that Remus had inadvertently swept her off of her feet. "Not that it matters, he pays me no mind" she had said wistfully,
Stephanie had surprised the girl by telling her that she would help her in seducing Remus. It had been a whirlwind affair that drove Apolline mad as the trip was supposed to be a diplomatic one but the two women had turned it into a soap opera. In the end it had worked out and Blanche moved to the Marauder Estates.
Remus Lupin and his girls went to his personal VIP room in "Temper" the dance club inside Sirius's casino. He shook his head to himself as he thought of Sirius' weird tribute to Lily Potter. She was a fiery woman but she had a marvelous sense of humor and he liked to believe she would have appreciated what Sirius was doing.
The "club" was basically the classiest strip club possibly. It was dim but not dark with welcoming colors. It had multiple small stages instead of a large dominating one and while the music was loud the DJ was skilled. A testimony to the skill was the fact that just as many men were dancing and enjoying themselves without strippers as there were men at the stages.
Remus' VIP lounge was one of eight rooms surrounding the dance floor. Each room had a balcony that doubled the space. The balconies overlooked the dance floor and had a low wall so that the people below could see those in the VIP.
There was a magical divider between the room and the balcony that allowed him to escape the noise from the club. Both the room and the balcony had a pole and small stage for dancers. Stephanie and Michelle were dancing for him on the balcony stage and garnering their fair share of attention. Blanche was nestled under Remus's arm rubbing her body against his in time with the music.
The VIP rooms had a closed bar that could be opened if the customer required. This room was Remus's permanently and had an always open bar. Remus went behind the bar and made himself a drink and handed a glass of wine to Blanche who sat at one of the bar stools.
He was amazed at her ability to look mouth wateringly sexy while doing simple things like sitting and drinking wine. She smiled and he realized he had been caught and staring and just raised his drink to her before looking back out to the balcony where Stephanie and Michelle were dancing.
Michelle was his number one General and advisor. She was as dangerous as any of his Lycans but it was clear that she knew how to let her hair down as she grinded herself on the pole and ate up the attention of the crowd watching.
He and Blanche went back out to the balcony and Blanche put down her drink before joining Stephanie on the stage. Stephanie instantly started kissing the Veela and the crowd went wild. Michelle left her stage to join them and the three girls danced together trading kisses.
Remus looked over the room of cheering men and women and saw two of his Lycans acting as bouncers at the door. He smiled to himself as he thought of how enraged many would be if they knew how many Lycans he ruled.
He was pretty sure that there was no longer any werewolves on the planet. The negotiations with the ICW had broken down practically before they started. They had insisted that he provide the cure to the other countries and he had refused, releasing a statement that any werewolf that came to him, he would cure. The Americas had given up and the few werewolves in America migrated and he provided them the cure with their oaths.
Many of the eastern European states had tried to ban werewolf travel or kill their werewolves rather than allow them to increase Remus' power. He had sent four Lycan squads and started a smuggling operation. They had even left human analogs to make it seem like they had been successful killing off their werewolf populations.
It had taken 6 months but he had not only saved those werewolves seeking freedom and a new life and their families, when appropriate, but they had also hunted down those werewolves who wanted to stay animals and spread fear and death.
In the end between the muggles they had recruited, the male squibs they had invited and the worldwide werewolf population, he currently had 1000 Lycans under his rule. His pack had 25 members, which was the average and there were 40 packs at the estates, all magically sworn to serve him.
His plan to use the Succubae to balance out the genders among his people had worked but had turned out to be an unnecessary consideration. The Succubae that worked in brothels and strip clubs in the Commons still needed to feed on his Lycans and some of the demonic women had even found mates within the packs.
His consideration was unnecessary because the vast majority of the werewolves they liberated from Continental Europe and Asia were women. Remus was not completely sure why this was as he didn't think the wolf had enough thought to choose targets like that and none of the girls he spoke with had an explanation either. In the end it didn't matter as they were all Lycans now.
In addition, there was also a growing population of human girls seeking to move to Jamestown. That included the 7th year Ravenclaw that had flashed him her panties when they visited with the centaurs. After graduating she had sought him out and he had fucked her. She had no desire to be a Lycan but also had no desire to fuck anything but Lycans.
She was currently living among the packs and being passed around and loving every moment of it. He wasn't sure if she would stay as not all the fetishist stayed but no one was starving for companionship and that was what was important.
Some women did not want to join but still wanted to try out a Lycan and the Succubae brothel was already planning on expanding to accommodate the need. Not as many Lycans had applied for the positions as he would have thought and he figured it was due to how available sex was in the community. Not to mention that for many, humans were too frail as compared to Lycan women and the Succubae.
Remus had recently authorized the first Den to be formed outside the Pack Capitol of Jamestown. Dens as he thought of them would be communities of Lycans authorized to live and work outside of the wards of Marauder Estates. There would be gatherings that required all to come home but those would likely be once a year. The first Den was the one at Grimmauld Commons.
Remus watched as Stephanie separated from the other two girls and gyrated for him and wondered if in a past life she was a stripper. He waved her over and she seductively walked over to him. She pulled her dress off and settled in his lap wearing nothing but g-string panties and heels.
She moved on his lap grinding herself into him and giving him a very sexy lap dance. They were in the lounge area and while the music was audible it was not as loud and they could hear each other. She told him "Normally there is no touching, but for my man with the big cock I will make an exception"
She turned to face him and kissed him hard. "I love you, my alpha" she said in between kisses and Remus admitted he loved her too. Then he told her "We will have to formalize how Lycans marry" She hugged him tight before kissing him hard again and then kneeling in between his legs.
…Longbottom Manor, Durham
Neville was once again sitting in his father's office looking at the report in front of him. It had been commissioned by Leland Abbott and summarized the current socio-economic climate of Magical England. The Longbottom interest were doing very well and all the historical alliances and agreements had been re-established.
Augusta had risen to hold a great deal of political sway within the Wizengamot and Vas was leading the economic fortunes of the family to new heights. The Vassal families were equally doing well and together they were now the pre-eminent worldwide supplier of magical plants, ingredients and potions.
Armand had even bought out Brendan Slugg and now the Longbottom Group controlled all of Slugg & Jigger apothecary. They were in talks with Notts Family Farms to become the exclusive supplier of the Nott animal potion ingredients, special reserve. Vas' idea for a tiered supply structure had taken off in the business sector and many companies were reconfiguring their operations.
The research into restoring his parents was moving slowly but it was actually moving for the first time in a decade and the discoveries being made had led to the opening of "Rejuvenate", the magical spa and retreat in the Grimmauld Commons.
The troubling part was that for all their strides the Potter Group was still outpacing them. They were not in any competing businesses but it was clear that both economically and politically, the Potter Family might soon be the sole member of the Prima-Prima Potentia Magicae. That did not truly concern Neville as his family was doing well and would continue to be one of the great families of magical England and he had no aspirations for the level of scrutiny being at the top would likely bring.
What was concerning was that the report highlighted that the Potters had an army. Of Lycans. Harry Potter hand sworn the new Earl, Lord Remus Marauder and his family as a Vassal to his house and the estimates where that Remus had 500 Lycans under his command, all sworn to follow Remus and through him Potter against any enemy.
The report suggested that only the most astute had made that connection and threatening to make that more public was a source of possible leverage against Harry Potter as the boy seemed concerned with maintaining a positive public image. The report also pointed of that such a play was dangerous as the man had an army at his command and they did not know if Heir Potter would react violently.
Harry did not seem the Dark Lord type but Neville did not like risking his family on that assumption. It was even more shocking to learn that his other Vassal, Clan McGonagall, had been recruiting all the most brilliant Muggleborn women into service as well. The Amazons had taken to their namesake with focus and dedication and were rumored to be building themselves into great fighters as well as scientists.
And Potter's godfather was collecting all the squib women and calling them Valkyries. It was a blessing that the squib women were not making themselves warriors as well but they were pushing into the potions arena and the report suggested that in ten years 40% of England's finest Potions Masters and Researchers would likely be Valkyries. Maybe more. If all of that manpower was turned toward domination, it could be a repeat of Grindelwald.
Neville could not do anything to stop Potter but it was clear he needed to protect his family. The report suggested taking a lesson from clan McGonagall and recruiting muggleborn males. Swearing them and in exchange for giving them an opportunity to start a family line, they would be used to expand the Longbottom fortune and knowledge base.
Neville expanded on that idea and decided that he would recruit the muggleborn men, but not only the best and not primarily to be researchers. Instead he would use them to create a match for the Lycans. He would use Minerva's method to gather the men and allow them to start family lines but he would then give them his two potions. It was a hard decision to release the secret but he had to do something about the imbalance of power Potter represented.
He would offer it to any member of the Longbottom sphere of power oath bound to the family. But the muggleborns would form his primary security force. He was not sure how their strength would match up against Lycans but his own strength made him confident.
His soldiers would also have the added benefit of being able to blend in the magical community where the Lycans could not. He outlined his plan, including a dose of the two potions for the man, and sent it to Abbott. The Abbot family would also be the family that the muggleborns would swear their Retainer's oath to and the Abbotts would take on the responsibility to defend the Longbottom line.
It was indeed a smart idea that Neville was attempting to implement, but Neville was limited by morality and traditional magical thinking. He would be making normal wizards into soldiers. They would form a group absolutely loyal to the Longbottom family, but if they ever came into conflict with the Potters, they would not survive.
Remus had not been limited by morality and he had not made regular people stronger, he had made soldiers better able to soldier. The Lycans would be better trained, better armed and better prepared than any other magical force on the planet.
No one in the Longbottom camp would consider recruiting muggles. Nor would they think to target people with specific skill sets as the Lycans had. The Lycans had been completely ruthless in their mission to secure not only their newly created race but their ability to defend and protect the alpha of alpha's and his sworn Lord.
Neville would not think to create the type of weapons and equipment that the Lycans with the help of Clan McGonagall was developing nor would he think to not only blend in but to create an intelligence gathering network.
Neville had fully underestimated what he was facing. It was not a sign of his youth as none of his advisors and in fact none of the smartest people in Wizarding Britain had any idea about the full capability of the Lycans.
Neville went to bed confident that he had put his family in a position to defend themselves and in many ways he had. In the end no other magical family on the plant would be able to stand against the Longbottoms. None but one. It would be a blessing if the House of Longbottom and the House of Potter never came into conflict because House Longbottom only had a false hope in that scenario.
