My dear J.K., I wish that you were the only inspiration for this fanfic, alas it wasn't to be. The inspiration isn't even mine, it is just borrowed from many others. I just hope I do them justice.

Previous:

"I called you here so I can do your job that master Regulus ordered you to do. Get Regulus locket here so we can destroy it."

Kreacher: "Master Regulus locket? You can destroy Master Regulus locket? Kreacher will get it right now." and he pops away, after a few moments he returns with it.

Blooddagger ran his dagger over the locket and swore: "Another one, we will deal with those Horcruxes Lord potter."

14 Too many loose ends.

"How is the Nation going to dispose of them? Exorcise it? Smack it with an ax? Transfer it to a pig and kill it, then eat the pig? Dip it in basilisk venom, I have some extra, you know."

I am just rambling, throwing some popular methods in the mix, the pig one is used a few times, maybe I get lucky and have a meal out of it.

Blooddagger looked at me, wondering my sanity is slipping or I am inventing new ways to deal with the Horcruxes. He says: "I do not know Lord Potter, it is done by specialists curse breakers and shamans, I will inform them of your suggestions, some are intriguing but no, I will deliver them to our elders to be examined, they are going to try to create a tracking devise aimed at the main soul.

Together with the Ring, they are scheduled the day after the ring is recovered from the shack."

"That is good news, can Kreacher witness the destruction of the locket or take a look at it after the Horcrux is removed? It will do much for his sanity and make him a bit more loyal to me.

Now the next item. There is a huge acromantula colony in the forbidden forest, I just offered the two guards at the entrance, Skullcleaver and skullbasher to create a hunting party for their young students to get blooded. I offered their first big kill as a reward, the rest will be claimed by me for Hogwarts, the school can use the money. I told them to coordinate with you, for a fee of course."

Blooddagger: "My Lord Potter, you sure are buttering up at the Nation, I thank you for giving our young the chance to get blooded. What made you offer the door guards this opportunity?"

"They honored me by complimenting on my basilisk kill, so I thought to let them have something to kill to."

Blooddagger: "The young ones are going to hound them for a spot."

"Next item, do House Potter or Black have normal accounts in banks in London or other city's? Do they have investments and property?"

Blooddagger: "Only House Potter has an account at Barclay and has some investments, most was sold to finance the war. It amounts to 550.000 £ "

I noted some names on a paper. "I have a business deal for you Blooddagger, I will change 50% of my accounts into pounds to invest in the companies I have written on this paper. If you use this for your own investments I want 25% of your profits, if you use these for the Nation I want 50% of the profits, non-negotiable, and on magic contract."

Blooddagger: "5% and 10%"

"Not this time Blooddagger, these names are going to be very big, the profits enormous, and with my knowledge at no risk. 25% and 50% on a magic contract. Even with this, you can at least triple the fortune of Gringotts in a few years."

Blooddagger: "I need to consult with Ragnar for the Nation, you have my consent for my investments."

"Alright, I hold on to these names until you have an answer from Ragnar. The following item is opening a personnel vault for Flora and Fauna Carrow 100.000 Galleons each, both are under House protection from all my Houses. I will bring them with me when I come and sign the marriage contracts for the six others."

Blooddagger chuckles: "Eight wives? With two or three I would envy you, with eight it is just pity."

"Yeah, yeah, I know and we are so bloody young I have to date them for three years before there is a wedding. That is why I need those investments." Hey, goblins can laugh after all.

"What did I get from Dumbledore? Does he have a knut left? I confiscated the second-hand robes he had in Hogwarts along with some books on his shelves, you know some cheap books they give for Christmas." It must be very funny because he keeps on laughing harder and louder.

Blooddagger: "You did well to claim the debts back Lord Potter, with the investigations against him there would be large fines, we confiscated his property's in your name, a house in Godrick's Hollow, a house in Hogsmeade a pub named the Hog's Head Inn, and an apartment in Diagon Ally. I have the deeds in my office here, I suggest a rental contract for the Pub to Aberforth Dumbledore and clean up and rent out the other two. Arrange it with your Solicitor."

"What about the death-eaters? I want Gibbon, Rowle and especially Yaxley poor like church rats."

Blooddagger: "We have to give them a few day's notices to foreclosure their property's, their bank accounts are emptied to pay the fines off the loans, I have to warn you though, it is custom to offer the daughters for consorts or concubines to pay the rest off the loans. If you don't accept them, usually nobody else wants them, for reasons like afraid to offend you, thinking if you don't want them there is something wrong with them. They mostly end up as a prostitute, or kicked out of the house when they are above 17."

"Wait a Great Goat God fucking minute, how many girls are we talking about? And their names? By the way, you are talking it is a done deal already? Blooddagger you are driving me crazy here, at this rate I end up with half of Hogwarts."

Blooddagger looks through his papers and said: "Goyle Bernadette age 16, Crabbe Melinda age 15, Gibbon Simone age 9, Rowle Anastasia age 11. Yaxley is single, Miss Goyle and Miss Crabbe are homeschooled by lack of funding, Malfoy was sponsoring the boy's education, I think the girls are already used one way or another."

Here we go again, Harry fucking Potter to the rescue, take them, or they whore them out, punish the dads, and it fucks the children, at the end I end up being the bad guy after all.

Going on the looks of Vincent and Gregory they are not competing for Miss Universe I suppose. With a big sigh, I asked: "What do you propose I do? Because I haven't got a clue."

Blooddagger: "Take the girls, make a contract to protect them from the parents, when they are of age employ them and let them work for you, the little ones, pay for their education and employ them.

Goyle and Crabbe are going to be out of a job because you are skinning Malfoy, his vaults are all empty right now, he has to the end of the week to find 750.000 galleons, if he sells his mansion and businesses he will still come up 350.000 Galleons short, I suggest you buy his mansion and businesses, some are profitable.

We already confiscated the Lestrange property for their involvement of the Horcrux, it is best to hold on to these, or the market will collapse.

By the way Bellatrix her contract made it so you can claim their titles, for failing the conditions in it. I advise to do so, they have a seat in the wizengamot and Malfoy is their proxy."

I smell a Goblin trap, I feel this little bugger is trolling with me.

"Before I claim anything, are there any conditions on the title or contracts? Do I have to marry a bunch of girls again?"

Blooddagger grins: "Only one my Lord, an old Contract with House Greengrass 150 years ago. There is a catch to it, if you do not claim the lordship it goes to Malfoy, who will claim the youngest, and with the Malfoy's pauperized Lord Greengrass will have to support them or see his daughter knutless."

"So out of the cauldron and into the fire? I will ask for advice from Daphne, tomorrow I know more, can I get a copy of the contract? And have you bought some shares of the Daily Rubbish? I want it above 50%."

Blooddagger smiled, "The Malfoy's have 10% witch you van get cheap, the Lestrange's have 5%, it is yours to now."

Pulling the memory of me trolling Fudge and the toad I said: "That is a good job done Blooddagger, I only have a trip to do to my vaults and we are done for today, if you want a good laugh this memory will provide one, btw. What I tell them is a complete fabrication, just don't let them know."

I stood up and handed the vial over.

Kreacher: "Can Kreacher go now, master?"

"Kreacher? O, I forgot to dismiss you I am sorry, Kreacher you will not tell anybody anything about this conversation, not a living one or a dead one like paintings and ghosts, are we clear?"

Kreacher: "Kreacher will obey."

"When we have destroyed the locket we will show it to you, now clean the house so my future Lady Black and I can come to visit next month, if you need help ask the potter elves. Now go."

"Now vaults and rings, not necessarily in that order."

During my ride I was counting, I came out on 12 or 13, if I use Daphne for the Lestrange contract I have twelve, if not Astoria gets sucked in, the four new girls can forget hooking up with me, I will support them and give them jobs, that gets me down to eight or nine.

If this keeps on going, I probably end up with hundred girls in two weeks."

At the Potter Vault, I called Tapsy and asked to take the trunks for the basilisk parts, I needed the rings to ask Tapsy she took me to a desk to choose some…. "Tapsy, wouldn't it better if I take the lady and consort her to let them choose their engagement ring?"

Tapsy: "They would be happy, master."

"Is there anything here that is needed in the mansion?"

Tapsy: "This trunk master, it was meant for your school years. I will take it with me."

"Thank you Tapsy, can you contact the Black elf Kreacher, I have offered your help to clean the Black-house, try to include him in your group, he is a bit lonely and started to act strange."

The black vault was right next door, after opening I called Kreacher back, he pointed me to the Heir ring. With a flash it fitted on my finger, Kreacher looked at it and smiled.

I'll come back later with the girls, there were still a lot of loose ends that needed tying. After dismissing Kreacher, I left Gringotts.

"Dobby, can you pop me to Theodore Tonks house please?"

Dobby: "Yes master Harry."

At the Tonks house, knocking at the door politely, Tonksie opened up.

Tonksie: "Well met harem master Lord Black, come to add to the flock?"

"My dear Nimmie, are you volunteering? There is room for a hot sexy older girl, two even. And how did you know, I was going to ask you to move in with me? Are you a seer? Do you predict to say yes? Need a contract?"

I started laughing at her surprised face, it changed from surprised to confused, to grinning while she took her wand out, she said: "Be careful what you say to me Lord Black, I am in the Auror force and do not take indecent proposals lightly."

"Tonksie, you wound me, here I stand at your doorstep, asking you to move in with me, even compliment you with hotness and sexiness, and you draw a wand on me? Where is the family love? The care for your Lordship? I even permitted to bring a friend with you. I am hurt.

I will complain to your father and mother. Are they in?"

Tonksie stood there with her wand, fuming, selecting spells in her head, one worse than the other, when she heard her dad asking who is at the door.

Tonksie: "A sex offender who wants a beating, real, really badly. His name is Lord Black."

"Ow Tonksie are you still mad I grabbed your mum's bum? That was an accident. Or are you mad it wasn't yours? That can be arranged you know, just ask and I grab your hot sexy…"

Man, a stinging hex so close by hurt like a bitch, avoiding the second one, moving in I took her arm and performed a perfect shoulder trow, with her wand in my hand and Tonksie on her back in front of me, skirt a bit high up, (nice legs) I said:

"Now Tonksie that wasn't nice, but I forgive you because of the view." Tonksie: "What view?"

I pointed to her skirt, she looked down, with a scream she rolled away from me.

Tonksie: "You perv give my wand back. It is a crime to take the wand from an Auror.

"I am glad you are only a trainee then, now can I go in to see your parents? And I was serious about moving in."

Ted came to save me, "Lord Potter I did not expect your visit, how can I help you?"

"Well first you can save me from your daughter, she thinks by asking her to move in with me that I am a pervert. Maybe I asked her wrong, can you explain to her that I am honorable honestly asking her to move in?"

Ted: "Honey Lord Potter asks you to live with him in his mansion as a chaperon, an adult, supervising a young man who is emancipated but still only thirteen years old. Rent-free, you only have to tutor him and his fiancees in the holidays."

Tonksie began to blush. It is time to rub it in.

"What a dirty mind do you have Tonksie, did you think I asked you to be one of the wives? I admit you are a hot and sexy woman, but I think the others wouldn't agree.

Seriously, I need someone to keep me in line, a chaperon when some of the girls come to visit, and it has to be someone I like. There are plenty of rooms, you can even bring a roommate.

And if you really don't want to move in with me, I have an apartment in Diagon Ally that you can rent, it used to be Dumbledore's, so it needs to be cleaned and checked for spells and curses."

Ted: "Why don't you first come in Lord Potter so we can talk over thee."

"Thanks, Master Tonks, there have been some developments that need your attention. But first the misunderstanding… … no honestly I was teasing her. I am sorry Tonksie, here is your wand, but my offer is honest, I need a chaperon, and you are my first choice."

Tonksie: "I need to see the mansion and to think about it.

"Tapsy?" Tapsy: "Yes Master Harry?"

"Can Tonksie here visit the mansion or do I have to set the ward stone first?"

Tapsy: "The ward-stone first Master, we can do this tomorrow if you like"

Looking at Tonksie "when are you free?" Tonksie: "Tomorrow after dinner.

"Tapsy will pick you up then. Ted, some developments are a bit disturbing. The House of Black has loaned huge sums to death-eaters, after the previous Lord died, they stopped the payments trusting Malfoy being the next Lord. I let Gringotts loose on them to clean them out.

There is a side effect though, Goyle Bernadette age 16, Crabbe Melinda age 15, Gibbon Simone age 9, Rowle Anastasia age 11, are in danger because the lord of their house can't pay, so they will be offered as concubines or consorts if I refuse them they probably end up as prostitutes."

"The next item is that I put Malfoy in the poor house, hooray you would say because I did the same to Lestrange, Blooddagger insist I claim the Lordship of the Lestrange's. There is a 150 years old contract for a girl of house Greengrass. If I don't claim it, it will go to Malfoy junior, meaning my brother-in-law without a knut to scratch his ass. WHAT DO I DO?"

Tonksie began to laugh, "Poor, poor Lord, so many girls and not knowing what to do with them and how to do it with them. You can move to Arabia, harem master. What is your limit? 20? 30?"

"OK I deserved that, but if I say no to these girls they end up on the street or worse, if I say yes my trouble will never stop.

I can use Daphne for the Lestrange Lordship but then Astoria has to be a consort to keep the Greengrass title and probably end up with me here anyway, I heard she is a fan.

To be honest, I want to wake up, this is becoming a bloody nightmare, plz. Pull the plug already."

Tonks: "It is not so bad as it seems Lord potter, you can take them in as wards of one of your Houses preferably House black. That is four girls less. Take the Lestrange's Lordship because the seat at the wizengamot will go to you or your proxy. Talk to Lord Greengrass, better yet take Miss Greengrass home and discuss it with the family. So you have eight or nine brides. Ten if you want my daughter."

Tonksie who was just nipping at her thee sprayed it all over the table. Tonks was winking at me so I played along.

"Of course I want her I just watched her legs and they were looking fine, let's talk contracts, how much do you want? 100.000 or 150.000 Galleons? I will give her a private vault of 100.000 Galleons."

Tonksie: "You would buy me? You are going to sell me? What am I? A piece of cattle?"

"No of course not, you are a highly-priced beautiful woman deserving such a high bride price. And we were joking Tonksie, this is not buying or selling, it is telling the world you are worth that and more."

Tonks mouthed 'nice save', while Tonksie was blushing: "You think I am worth 100.000 Galleons?

Crap back in the minefield without a clue to get out. I looked at Ted to get some help but he just grinned at me, like saying you are on your own.

I narrowed my eyes at him and said: "Tonksie I can't put a correct price on you, but it is at least 100.000 Galleons because that is what the other girls are getting.

So if you want to be wife number ten, tell your dad to set up a contract and I am happy to marry you."

Bamm. Take that Ted, he looked at me like I declared I was the pope, I raised my eyebrows letting him know he has to save this himself, after all, he began about wife number ten.

Ted: "wait Honey for such a decision you better need to know each other, you haven't even dated yet, better spend some time with each other."

Innocently I mentioned "well I haven't dated the nine others either and they seem to be happy.

But we are off-topic, I have some property's from Dumbledore, a house in Godrick's Hollow, The Hog's In in Hogsmeade, and the apartment in Diagon Ally, can you put up a rental contract with Aberforth Dumbledore, or if he wants to buy it a sales contract, the two others need cleaning and renting out.

Another hot topic is Narcissa, I made Malfoy a beggar, but Narcissa is a Black, do we ask Aunt Andromeda?

Is Sirius out of Askaban? How is he?

Ted: "I am glad you pulled Malfoy's fangs, now we have to only watch Fudge and his toad. Sirius is in St Mungos the dementors did a job on him, and I think some guards too. There is some lasting damage done. It seems someone slipped Sirius a potion to sterilize him, making you the next Lord"

What do you know, the mut got neutered, I even haven't lift a finger. It smells like Malfoy securing the Lordship for junior, too bad he forgot about me.

We talked a few hours more ironing out the details of the contracts for the girls, somehow Tonksie was interested, inching over, reading along, I gave Ted the memory of Fudge and the Toad, both couldn't stop laughing.

Ted: "Well done, now he is going to stay low and the toad is going to be afraid of her own shadow."

Tonksie grabbed me and gave me a kiss on the cheek: "My hero, defeating candy and amphibians, it is deserving an order of Merlin second class. If arresting innocents deserves third class then you get an upgrade."

"You know I can get used to getting kisses from you." Yes, I deserved that smack to my head too.

"It is getting late, I better go back to Hogwarts." Tonksie walked me out, she said: "I was looking for a place of my own, but with those prices, I have a friend who wanted to split the costs and we share the apartment. With your offer, I am not certain what to do."

"Is she a good friend? Do you trust her? It's a girl though? If he is a boy you can rent the apartment in Diagon Ally."

Tonksie: "She is a girl, Hestia Jones, a year older and also an Auror trainee. There are not a lot of women in the force so we stick together, and yes she is beautiful."

"Tonksie, she can come to, on the same conditions as yours, just keep the raves and orgies at a minimum, or at least invite me." That got me another smack to the head.

Tonksie: "Dummie what would you do if we are lesbians?"

"It doesn't worry me, I have a pair of those too, it is fun to watch, and if I am allowed to play along, even better."

"See you tomorrow after dinner Honey. Dobby back to Hogwarts please." With a pop I was gone, I had the last word.

"Thank you Dobby, do you know where the girls are?"

Dobby: "Mistress Susi and Hermi are with Mistress Hanni in Gryffins office with Nevy and older students. The others are in Slytherins bed talking."

"Godricks it is then, can you pop me there?" Dobby popped me into the living room, I opened the office noticing stacks of papers and books.

"I am back, Susan have you been at this from after diner?" Susan: "yes Harry we are making big progress"

"Susan, you seem to forget most of these older students are having exams tomorrow, important exams, better call it a day so they can study a bit."

Shocked Susan and Hermoine looked at the older students, apologizing for hoarding their precious time.

Hannah: "Sorry, we overdid it, your Owls and Newts are the most important for you, and we kept you here, we will try to make it up to you all."

Head boy: "This was a good practical exercise for management, it has also a bit of pride and prestige that we are setting the rules and regulations for generations to come, a few points more in an exam can't top that. We are grateful we were allowed to be a part of it. We will bid you good night Lord Potter and Ladies."

The others said their goodbyes to, even Missy, with a smile at me.

"Mipsy, Dippy and Kitty, can you pop us to Slytherins chambers please?" the funny buggers dropped us on the bed with the rest. After some screams and giggles, they calmed down.

"I am going to take a quick shower and we have a little talk to do before bed."

The shower was a fast ten minutes, I am certain some girls peeked.

Showing the memory from Blooddagger about the four other girls, and then the Lestrange Lordship made them speechless than I showed Tonks his solution.

Daphne: "I know the Goyle and Crabbe girls, they are nice and friendly, they take more like their mothers. Can I send these memories to my parents? And tell them we come after lunch?"

"Go ahead set a note and now it is time for bed, I will sleep in Godrick's bed, good night girls."

Hermoine: "Harry can you stay here with us? The bed is big enough, and it felt nice to sleep together."

"Is this what everybody wants? Flora, fauna? You can always go to your own bedroom."

Flora: "The others seem to like it so we don't mind, they say nothing improper is going to happen. We will stay."

Daphne send the memories to her parents, and we settled in bed with me in the middle and the most daring, Hermoine and Stacey cuddled up to me, the rest spread around on the bed.

"Night girls."

Luna: "Will he wake us like last morning?"

Daphne whispering: "I hope so."
