Chapter 3:
The week that Harry had to wait for the journals to be done was a productive one. He had spent a full day in Muggle London wandering and visiting at least three book stores as well as a public Library, to start loading up his ladies other journals and his cookbook. He also went clothes shopping for himself. He now had clothes that fit him, not having him swimming in them.
After that he stayed in the Alleys. He bought his textbooks after receiving his reply from Professor McGonagall on his class switch. Parchment, Quill, ink, robes, potion ingredients were all purchased. He also stocked the kitchen/ pantry trunk with everything that the three of them would need for the entire school year, just in case they were forced to stay over the holidays. He trusted no one with their food. He was going to insist that no meal was eaten in the Great Hall for the three of them. The feast that required attendance they would eat either before or after, depending on the time but never at the actual table. For instance the Opening Feast ran long so he would make sure to make enough for the train ride to tide them over until breakfast the following morning. He bought the perfect picnic basket just for the train ride.
He spent a full day doing all of his homework, which he finished in about three hours, and then got a jump start on those that he remembered and were assigned for the coming year. By his calculations he was ahead of all but Ancient Runes by five months. The rest of the time he made a master timeline of what needed to be done. He also started reading the combined Potter Journal. Twenty pages in and he already had learned the arrow spell that Geoffrey had placed on Robin Hood's Bow. He was going to have to do this one for himself, which meant learning archery. Something that he had always wanted to do.
Finally the day arrived where he could go pick the journals from the Sanctuary. Calling Dobby quietly, the hyper elf popped in, grabbed his arm and popped him the entrance hall. It sparkled back at him.
"Um…Dobby?"
"Yes Master Harry?"
"Why is the Hall sparklely?"
"Dobby used special cleaner. The sparkle wills goes away by the time Master comes back."
"Umm…Okay. How have you been? Not working too hard are you?"
"Master Harry is nice to ask but nos Dobby is fine. That's why Dobby uses special cleaner. It makes Dobby's job easier. Dobby likes this house. It has much power. Gives Dobby energy."
Harry had thought it was something like that. Previously both Dobby and Winky had seemed almost drunk at times when they didn't realize that he was watching. If what Dobby said was true then they probably had been just on magical power instead of alcohol.
"Dobby has the Master Suite, Master Study, and the Kitchen done. The Library will be better cleaned after Master Harry leaves as Dobby didn't want to disturb Master's spell after aster said not to move books, So Dobby stays away for Library and that's why the Hall is in process."
"That's fine Dobby. Just don't overdo it."
"Dobby won't. Dobby likes Master and Master's house too much to do that. House has to be just right."
"Do you need anything?"
"If Master can leaves some money then Dobby can start getting things that House needs."
"Of course. How much?"
"Dobby does not know until Dobby starts looking."
"Do you have a bag?"
A snap of the elf's fingers produced a small cloth bag that had the Potter family crest on it. Harry opened his own bag as Dobby opened his. Harry placed several handfuls of magical coins in the bag before Dobby told him to stop.
"Buy quality over quantity. I want stuff that will last."
"As if Dobby would do that!" the little elf looked affronted and a little miffed that his Master thought that.
"I'm going to try and return for the Holidays so make sure that the Kitchen is stocked by then. Full Christmas Dinner."
"Yes Master Harry."
"Good now let me get the books then you can pop me back."
HLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLH
Harry spent the next couple of days double checking the individual grimaries, making sure that the Potter library was complete inside them. He also took the time to add all of their course books to them. It was just an added precaution. Then he took them, including his cookbook to at least four used book store in the Alley, loading them up in just under an hour at each location. He tried to keep as busy as possible until his lady loves arrived.
HLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLHHLH
Hermione was the first to arrive. As much as she wanted to join Harry in his room, she got a room to herself for propriety sakes. She had just placed her trunk at the end of her bed when there was a knock at the door. Opening it revealed a grinning Harry Potter. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him into the room, slamming the door, and pulled him forward for the most passionate kiss that she had ever given him. It didn't let up until the need for air became an issue.
"Miss me?"
Hermione just snorted. She would have given him another universe blowing kiss but he stepped back.
"Not that I mind having you snog the breathe out of me, love, I do have a couple of gift for you."
It was the look in his eyes that told her that these 'gifts' were something that she was going to love.
"Alright Potter, hand them over."
"Maybe, if you ask nicely then maybe, I'll give them to you."
Before his eyes Hermione 'transformed' into the seductress that he knew quite well. He didn't stand a chance.
She slinked up to him, running her hands slowly up his chest, playing with the buttons and collar as she went. A caress along his jaw sent him shivering, making him close his eyes. Another caress along his scar made the shiver more noticeable. He opened his eyes with a look pure lust and love that she went rather weak in the knees from it. Only the grip on his shirt saved her from falling to the floor. However she intended to win this round.
Harry knew that he was in deep trouble when he heard 'the voice'. Hermione had a way of making him a virtual slave with just the use of a certain pitch of her voice. The fact that Luna was just as affected by it was no matter. Harry would move heaven and earth just because that 'voice' told him to.
"Harry, love, you don't want me to beg now do you?"
He could only nod. Lust was pooling in his gut.
"Then, please, give me my presents. I'll give you a fitting reward if you do?"
Reward huh? He had to clear his throat a couple of times before answering her.
"And what type of reward are you offering?"
"Oh, just one of my special ones."
Harry felt his knees go weak. Hermione's special rewards were mind, body, and soul blowing. He was known to have a goofy smile on his face for a week after getting one of them.
He dislodged her hands and pulled the shrunken truck out of his pocket. Unshrinking it, he looked at her.
"One of your special ones?"
"Yep."
A squeal came from her as she pounced onto his back, knocking them both to the floor. The resulting snog was worth being knocked down. But before things went further a knock on the door interrupted them.
Harry got up, helped Hermione up, and answered the door. Only to be knocked to the floor again by a small blonde missile.
"Hello Luna love." Hermione dryly said.
Since the little blonde's lips were too busy molesting Harry's mouth, a dainty hand waved to her. Hermione shut the door and went to the trunk that Harry had given her. Opening it she descended the stairs and saw that she had the study/ library and the potions lab. A quick peek through the door saw that the connecting trunk was to the lounge and bedroom trunk that they had used in the past. A walkthrough the lounge to the door opposite hers was the kitchen and pantry. Harry's domain as she and Luna liked to call it. Returning to her own trunk, she returns to her room to find that Luna had finished greeting their wizard. Only to be attacked herself.
Harry watched in amusement as Luna ignored Hermione's feeble attempts at making the blonde stop. After a few minutes it seemed that Luna had finally made up for lost time. She allowed Hermione to sit up but curled herself on the older girl's lap.
"I missed you both."
"Couldn't tell, could you Harry?" snarked Hermione as she ran her hand through the blonde's hair and down her back, squeezing her bum.
Harry just laughed and motioned them to follow him. They returned to Harry's room where he handed Luna her trunk.
"A Potter Special?"
Harry grinned and nodded. Luna pounced again, launching the trunk at Hermione, who caught the thing, barely, before leaving the room with it and placing it in hers. She returned to see that the two were still snogging.
"When you're finished can we please talk about what we need to do?"
As before Luna finished her kiss, let Harry sit up but refused to give up her seat on his lap. Harry just placed his arms around her, holding her close. Hermione understood for Luna's need for contact. She had been quite lonely as a child.
"We need to talk about what each of us has done since coming back and where we go from here."
Both Harry and Luna nodded in agreement.
"So, besides the trunks, what else have you done Harry?"
"I got Dobby to the Sanctuary, which he's cleaning. I let him know that I know about the bond."
Although Hermione still thought that enslaving the house elves was wrong she had learned the hard way that the elves needed the magic of the families that they served to live. Both Luna, Dobby, and even Winky, had to practically beat her over the head about it. She had learned to accept it.
"Good. Anything else?"
"I wrote McGonagall about switching classes and am now enrolled in Ancient Runes, dropping Divination."
"About time" muttered Hermione.
"And I also used a certain spell to make each of us a special book."
Both girls blinked several times before moving. As Luna was already on his lap, Hermione practically flew across the room, launching herself at the wizard, knocking all three to the floor. It was several minutes before any of them surfaced. Harry wiggled out of the pile, got up and handed each witch two journals.
"Luna, the blue ones are yours. Hermione the purple yours. The darker colored ones are that magical books while the lighter are the non-magical."
"Non-magical?" asked Hermione
"Remember the first one had both?"
She nodded.
"And remember how you put EVERYTHING in it and then got frustrated when you looked for a subject it gave you the non-magical stuff first before the magical stuff?"
She nodded again.
"Well, I just separated them. I spent some of the last two weeks wandering around London, taking the books with me to libraries, a couple of museums, and several used bookstores. I did the same in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley for the magical ones. I also bought all our course books, potion ingredients, and parchment supplies for the term. Oh I also completed most of my homework for the coming term."
Both girls just blinked. Several times again. Then the grins formed.
"I also rebuilt my mindscape. Dumbnuts and Snarkface won't be getting in and if they do it won't be pretty."
Luna let out a chuckle. She really hoped that the Headmaster and Potions Master tried it. She wanted to see if they went insane or just catatonic. Her bet was on catatonic. She grinned as she gave her run-down.
"Well, I've been busy as well."
"Do tell Moonbeam." said Hermione, calling the blonde by her nickname.
"Daddy and I were in Sweden when I 'returned' so a lot had to wait until we got home. However, I did get one major thing done that will be helpful from now on."
"Oh?"
"I took the tests so that I can jump ahead a year. I'm now a third year like you two."
Both her lovers gathered her up with that statement. Both had been worried about being separated from her.
"Professor Flitwick wrote me, congratulating me doing so and to arrange my electives. I'll be with you for Care of Magical Creatures, Arthimacy, and Runes."
"That's wonderful! Now for my news."
The three separated enough so that they could all sit on the bed, with Luna in the middle.
"I told my parents everything."
To say that her two lovers were shocked was like saying the ocean was salt water.
Harry cleared his throat several times before he could get any sound out.
"Everything?"
"Everything."
"EVERYTHING!?"
Hermione blushed as she got what he was referring to.
"I didn't go into details. Just an overview."
"How much of an overview?" asked Luna.
"Honestly! I didn't give them details of the things we get up to in the bedroom!"
"Or the Lounge, the Garden, the Kitchen, the Library, the sinfully bathroom with that huge tub that was perfect for…." said both Harry and Luna before Hermione interrupted them.
"Obviously that too!"
Both just grinned at her.
"But I did tell them about what happened and that we came back."
"Did they believe you?"
"Not at first but I finally convinced them about it."
"Okay, that's all well and good but why?" asked a confused Harry.
"I got my parents to become both your non-magical guardians."
Luna got what Hermione was saying. Harry didn't and it showed.
"Harry, love, Hermione has just freed you not only from the Dursleys but Dumbledore as well."
"Say What?"
"By getting her parent to become your guardian the Dursleys had to give up their rights to you, which means that the deal they made with Dumbledore is now void. He can't force you to do what he wants anymore."
Slowly a grin that threatened to take over his whole face formed. Harry started laughing hysterically.
"Who did they get for the magical side?"
"You're not going to believe this."
