POTTER ESTATES PART 2

After a restful night, Harry woke up to find Hermione on his left side and Daphne on his right side. Susan was on Hermione's right and Tracey was on Daphne's left side. I'll need to talk to my girls about switching places each night. Jeeves popped into the Master's suite and said, "Good morning aster Harry." He had brought alone five other elves with him.

"Master Harry, this is your personal elf, Tobias," said Jeeves.

"Mistress Daphne, this is your personal elf, Bessie," said Jeeves.

"Mistress Hermione, this is your person, elf Janna," said Jeeves.

"Mistress Tracey, this is your personal elf, Bonnie," said Jeeves.

"Mistress Susan, this is your personal elf,, Fannie," said Jeeves.

The elves' and their respective Mistress' popped into their assigned ensuites. Thirty minutes later they joined Harry and Remus at the breakfast table.

"We have twenty-eight days till we leave for Hogswarts. We have to discuss how we're going to proceed," explained Remus.

"Let's eat first. I'm hungry." complained Tracey.

"Ladies have you purchased your wands yet?" Harry asked.

"Yes, we all have," said Susan.

"While I was talking with Ragnok he asked if I bought my wand. I told him no. Then he told me that custom made wands are the best, they are naturally to them. He told me to go a shop called Alphards Wands. It's located in Knockturn Alley. The shop's owner is Marcus Black, and no he's not related to Sirius. He has a table full of different wand woods. You hold your hand over the table and let your magic chose the wood. It is the same for your core of the wand. My wand is 13 inches, made from two woods, red oak and blackthorn, My wand has four cores dragon heartstring, a tail feather from a thunderbird, phoenix tears, and finally a tail hair from a male unicorn stallion. he also told me that my wand would be very powerful in the right hands and would dispense truth and justice. The only safety measure is the power will grow as my magical core grows," explained Harry.

"Have you tried it yet?" asked Daphne.

"No, not yet although when I'm practicing using the wand holster I can feel the power thrum in my wand, "Harry said.

"Harry I think we all need to learn occlumency. It will help you to keep your temper in check," replied Susan.

"After we finish with breakfast we will go to Diagon Alley," said Remus.

They took a port key to Gringotts, and were met by Bloodtooth. After the formalities were finished they left the bank. Harry found the shop and introduced his wives; I want the best for them. I told them how I found the wand for me.

Let's start with Tracey; she put her hand over the blanks. She finally chose Ivy, Laurel, and Cedar. For the core she chose dragon scale, dragon heartstring, and bloomlang venom. Susan chose Ivy, Laurel, and walnut. For the core she chose dragon heartstring, augury feather, and a snow phoenix tail feather. Hermione was next. She chose Ivy, Laurel, and red oak. Her cores consisted of dragon heartstring, tail hair from a mare, and a hippogriff tail feather. Finally it was Daphne turn. She also chose Ivy, Laurel, and Cyprus. All of the wands measured at 12 inches.

"Marcus how much do I owe you, remember four wands t for each of my wives. I also need eight hit wizard grade wand holsters," Harry asked.

"That will be 2000 galleons, Lord Potter," Marcus said.

They were back at Potter Estates by 11:00 and decided to have lunch before making any study plans. They gathered in Harry's study and started to plan.

"How about we study two chapters from each book, "Susan asked.

"That's fine with me," said Hermione.

"Let each one of us make a study schedule. Come back in an hour compare them and chose the best one or a combination of them," replied Daphne.

They returned an hour later and developed the schedule:

"I think it's about time to reestablish "The Great Alliance"," replied Susan

"Harry we need to discuss the proxies, since you assume you seats till you are 15." Tracey reminded everyone.

Daphne's' letter to Dowager Longbottom read:
