J.K., It is That Time again, Harry is going to jump into another book. This time not everyone will come along. I almost forgot… You all, me nothing.
Previous:
Tonksie: "Harry don't tease the Lords, although I remember Arabella, she is a beautiful woman. Friendly too."
"Hold on a minute, no more adding to the family, it is getting too much."
Luna: "Husband there is room for seven more wives, I told you thirty is the limit."
"Not funny, Luna!"
On a higher plane Death looked at The Stranger and asked: "Why did you give The Gray's permission to take your turn?"
The Stranger responded: "Did you see his preparations? Did you notice the plans of his wives? There is no fun in watching him steamroll all over Westeros. You better give him a reset that won't end with him having twenty wives again."
9 Splitting up.
Death laughed, "Yeah, that old guy has quite a temper, but you are right, next reset will not be easy for him. You realize that with every reset he will know more, and can prepare better for the next jump."
The Stranger thought for a moment, "No problem, as long he won't drag his harem along."
Death grinned, "I can't promise you that. Those girls are drawn to him. I think Fate is messing with our fun, although I don't mind it at all. That makes it all unpredictable."
After lunch, we went to a meeting room, where we explained our plans and the possibility to split the planes. Lord Lovegood frowned at the description of how we thought the previous timeline split.
Lord Lovegood: "I think the timeline is already split in two when you entered the vault. We are just following the same course until a Harry will enter the vault again and activate the Grimoire."
Lady Davis asked: "What will happen when Lord Potter doesn't come back from the vault? There will be a power vacuum, the vultures are going to search for the spoils."
Cassandra responded: "Harry already made a will if he does not come back from the Peverell vault. We came up with a plan to have heirs for all the Houses, even when he is gone."
Madam Bones: "This will better be a legal solution, or the wizengamot are going to claim the seats back and declare the Houses dormant."
Cassandra: "Hermione told us how the normal's solve fertility problems with in vitro fertilization. After consulting with Mrs. Granger, we will create a method to not only collect and store sperm but also collect the egg cells from the girls that will depart with Harry.
We can implant it in a surrogate mother, who will carry the baby to term. So they too will have a baby from Harry on this plane. A simple blood test at Gringotts will confirm the claim."
Mrs. Brown saw a lot of possibilities for women with pregnancy problems. Exited she began to talk to Mrs. Granger, her daughter Lavender, and Cassandra. Several girls that planned to move with Harry joined the conversation, happy for a chance to leave a legacy. After a few minutes, Mrs. Delacour joined the conversation when the topic of the sex of the child can be decided at the fertilization. She was pining for a boy, but the chances for it are only 1% with a Veela. If they can use male sperm for one of her egg cells she would go for it.
Croaker thought it over, "It has never happened before. The months or years before the first child will be a legal battle. You better prepare."
Lord Greengrass responded "He can not leave before the twenty-fourth of June. The Tri-Wizard tournament, remember? He can be punished for not competing, even in the other dimension. Magic is a strange thing."
"How about this: Owls at Christmas, Newts at Easter, and Masters in begin July. We depart after we announce we go on a world tour in the normal world, before we leave I am going to destroy that bloody cup. The Girls that will stay here will be our representatives when they reach seventeen, the parents will be regents for the Houses until then. Sirius will act as a mediator between the regents."
Sirius frowned to be dragged into responsibility, "Must I Harry? That is going to take a lot of meetings."
"Sirius, you lazy dog, House Black is involved too, so buckle up, suck it up, or whatever it is called. At least it will give you a reason to get out of bed. It also concerns the future of your daughters, they are part of our family too." Grumbling Sirius nodded, his wives rubbed his back, comforting him.
Mr. Delacour: "To sum it up, we have until July to prepare. If I understand it right, they share what they learn with Lord Potter, who combines it and give the knowledge back to his wives. That is a major advantage."
Mr. Patil: "You have that right. Not only the knowledge of the topic, but the combining of the different views on the topic makes it so much stronger. They are already at Newt level, I would not be surprised when they go for four or five Masters. To be honest, I am a bit jealous."
Madam Bones summed it up, "Plane or no Plane, you have until July to prepare. Stay at Hogwarts, as a Lord you can leave Hogwarts for house business in the weekends. We can meet here every two weeks for lunch or dinner.
Mr. Weasley: "Great idea, and I must say the elves are super cooks. Don't look at me like that Molly, there are others that can cook too. But don't worry, I still find you the best cook."
We ended the meeting, some girls took their parents to the library, to select books as preparation for their Masters. Others like Daphne and Tracey negotiated with their parents over the basilisk, Lord Davis and Greengrass were outsmarted when Daphne and Tracey conversed in parseltongue during the talk. Even more when they asked for advice at Tonksie and Hestia in parseltongue.
Luna took her dad to the snorkacks, loudly complaining about the years they wasted in Scandinavia looking for an animal that was stashed in a trunk at Gringotts.
Pansy showed her memory of the Patronus lesson to the adults, she was outside the silencing bubble so the adults were curious what I told the kids.
"Sorry, no can do. Trade secret, I would say Family magic, but the firsties are teaching the others right now. Did you hear the comment to let the Daily Rubbish receive a message? They won't forget this day for a long time." Right at that moment, two Patronus weasels came hopping to Ginny.
W. one: "Ginny, dear sis."
W. two: "Don't bother teaching us."
W. one: "Those firsties are great teachers!"
W. two: "Thanks for offering though."
W. one: "Those Aurors are freaking out."
W. two: "The firsties won't teach them."
Ginny facepalmed "They even managed to twin speak with their Patronus."
One by one the parents left, Dobby and Winky popped the Granger's home, They were even allowed to clean the house.
Sirius thanked us for the help of our house-elves to Kreacher. He let Kreacher tell Reggie's story before his mothers' painting. She went to a painting on the attic and refused to come down again.
The knowledge you were indirectly responsible for the death of your own child, promoted Voldemort to her nieces, and were directly responsible for the downfall of the House Black, it would crush anyone.
Do we feel sorry for her? Hell no! She can get fucked by The Great Goat God for all I care. It was written on his wives faces too, glad to get rid of the harpy.
We returned for dinner, by then the hype was over, the firsties were exhausted. They could hardly keep their eyes open, the second years were in a bad shape too. I put a sonorous on my voice.
"After dinner, the seniors will escort the first and second years to their bed. Guys, no more casting today, and sleep in tomorrow to recuperate. Although this is a good way to grow your magic power, you need time to let your magic get back to full power." I am spouting nonsense again, just telling them what I feel. Am I correct? Who cares, it can't be wrong to let them sleep it off.
The next days were spend studying, we developed a routine, we divided us into four groups, each taking a topic for a week, each evening we shared, discussing the progress.
Fleur taught us, French, The Patil sisters the official language Hindi? Indian? I can't remember how it was called and they refuse to name it in English. Punishing me for joking about their language, and a local language from their mother. We got German from Milli, and believe it or not, Luna shared the Fairy language with us.
Another thing we took advantage of was training Fleur for the tournament, in my mindscape.
Tonksie and Hestia took lead on that. It started one on one, it escalated to two on one, three, and four on one. By then Fleur was double casting, one hand with a wand, the other wandless.
Knowing the first task will be Triple X to Five X magic animals, we took a few days studying the wildlife until Neville mentioned there were nasty plants too. Cursing we reviewed herbology.
Me? I was cramming tactics for exploding snap, studying ways to cheat, I even tested that I could use the ward-stone to help me.
Hey! Don't judge me for being a poor loser. Winning the Tri-Wizard trophy is eternal glory! Never mind that nobody knew the last ten winners, we all know eternal glory lasts only for ten to twenty years.
After two weeks Ron was released from St Mungo's, he approached me.
Ron: "Harry? This feels so different now, it is like we are somebody else. The things I did, according to the mind healer were all put in my mind by Dumbledore. I don't think we can be friends again like before. I hope you are not angry at me for it."
"Ron, everyone got abused by Dumbledore. You are right, we can't be friends like before, but we can start a new friendship, and build it up. Maybe we won't be as close as before, or you start a relationship with some girl, anything can happen. Because you got shafted for being my friend, I got you a new broom. You can train on it for next season." That was my good deed for the month.
The first task was won by Fleur. The cheat was rubbing Little Harry all the time while blocking me. You ask me why I did not block her? Refusing to get a magic hand job in public? No way I pass that up! She even cleaned the mess up afterward, so ending dead last was not a problem for me.
The Interschool Cup was exciting, they had to pass three kinds of animals and one kind of plant, from each they had to collect an item. Fleur won hands down, with her wandless magic she could keep her distance and just grab it. Not that I followed it closely, the girls took the example from Fleur and Little Harry got an early workout.
The after-party was held in the great hall with all the houses and schools. Cedric hooked up with Chang. Krum got double-teamed by two French girls and loving it. Even Ron got hooked up with Romilda Vane.
In passing, I grabbed a water beetle and told it to be nice with the comments.
The next morning, I cursed Madam Bones and Croaker for not sharing the sobering spell. I made it a priority-one to search for it. Thank Great Goat God for Dobby and hangover potions. He always notices what I need, although me groaning and holding my head was a big clue.
After Mr. bladder got the necessary attention we took the day off to relax.
The comments in The Daily Fantasy about my facial expressions at the first task were a cause of amusement.
"Say what you want, it was totally worth it. I can't even be mad at Skeeter for her comments. Girls, there will be a dance at Christmas, how are we going to arrange this?"
Fleur thought about it and responded: "We go as a family Mon Amour, we are married, and married couples can go together."
Padma added: "And you better learn how to dance, if you dance twice with us that evening, then you are going to be occupied for the whole evening." Bloody hell, I am going to order stamina potions.
At breakfast McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout were back on the main table, the other teachers were entering as well, Tonksie commented on it: "Two weeks in St. Mungo's, and two weeks at the DMLE, they were getting grilled for their part in this school of horrors."
I noticed one I did not recognize, "Someone knows who that old man is?"
Daphne: "That is Horace Slughorn, he used to be head of Slytherin before Snape."
"Well, not if I can help it."
I stood up and made my way to the head table, I nodded to the teachers and addressed Slughorn.
"Sir, you are not welcome here, pack your stuff and leave before dinner. If you are here after dinner the wards will kick you out." Slughorn was gaping at me, McGonagall could not help herself from interfering.
McGonagall: "Lord Potter, You can not demand such a thing. Professor Slughorn is an experienced teacher. We should be glad he agreed to come back." I looked at her with pity.
"Are you sure the potions are out of your system? Who made the potions to dose the students before Snape? Are you ok with him gathering more members for his Slugclub? Discriminating students? Picking the smart ones, the ones with important parents, and ignoring the mediocre? He was Voldemort's head of house for seven years." I looked at Slughorn and asked:
"Tell me, Slug, you knew of the abuse of half-bloods and Muggle-born. How was Tom Riddle treated in Slytherin the first years? Was he guided by the seniors? An orphan child, sorted in the noble house of Slytherin? Did he never complain to you about his treatment?" Slughorn looked embarrassed,
Slughorn: "You see Lord Potter, those were different times, that can't be compared with today anymore."
"Well, Slug, until a month ago there was a girl from each year raped and passed around in Slytherin. I need an oath from you that it didn't happen on your watch, and you did not know about it if it was. An oath on your life Slughorn. If you don't give that oath I call the Aurors to question you, as they did with the other teachers." McGonagall was blushing, I guess there was some residue from the Stupido-potion.
Slughorn was nervous and looking for a way out. "Lord Potter, you can not demand such a thing from me."
I interrupted him. "You were Dumbledore's potion brewer, Slughorn. And you knew about the abuse in your house. Susan contact your aunt please, tell her to bring a few Aurors with her. You know Slughorn, the other teachers should be glad they still have a job, but there is no way I allow you back in here.
Hagrid, The Goblins have culled your acromantula farm. This is your last chance at teaching, one more cross-breeding two dangerous creatures just for fun, then you can have your fun elsewhere."
Hagrid: "Aragog wouldn't hurt a fly Harry, I trained him myself." I yelled at Hagrid.
"He maybe not, but the hundreds of others did in my second year! When you told Ron and me to look for them. I just hope it was the loyalty potions to that old goat that made you act that way. Tell me Hagrid, when a dark wizard goes to that nest and offered some students for dinner would they refuse?" It is kind of hard to tell he is blushing with the beard, but he stopped arguing.
Hoggy popped Madam Bones and a few Aurors in the hall. She looked at me, "What now Lord Potter?"
"Good morning Madam Bones, I was just demanding an oath from Slughorn, that the raping and abuse in Slytherin did not happen on his watch, and if it did, he did not know about it. I am still waiting for his oath. I want him arrested, he was the potion brewer before Snape, dosing the students for years. Who hired this moron anyway?"
Madam bones: "The board of governors hired him. But you are right, we had the teachers questioned for two weeks, and not one question was asked to him. Horace, you better come with us for a round of questioning."
"Madam Bones, you better pay a visit to that board too. I am going to do an audit of the finances of Hogwarts anyway, be sure to have some cells ready. Is there a candidate for headmaster yet?"
Madam Bones: "We thought for Professor McGonagall to be the best choice." I looked at Madam Bones slack-jawed. "Are you serious? She is the most incompetent of the lot, spineless to the extreme."
McGonagall: "Mr. Potter, that is insulting, I never deserved to be called like that, I want an apology from you." Hmm… Kitty is angry? Let's teach her some facts.
"Who was the cat that watched the Dursley's the whole day, and still allowed to let Dumbledore drop me on their doorstep? Without even knocking on the fucking door? Is this how a headmaster of a school should behave? Who allowed snape to destroy the futures of hundreds of kids with his attitude? How many times did you visit Gryffindors common room? Just teach transfiguration and let the important stuff for competent people.
The same goes for Flitwick, Luna was bullied to the extreme in Ravenclaw, is it normal to lock students out in the middle of winter? Barefoot? Only with their nightclothes on?"
At least they had the decency to look embarrassed.
"Madam Bones, recruit a headmaster from out of the country, and an administrator for the paper works. We need a fresh view on our education, and these here are not qualified." Bones sighed.
"You have a point, Lord Potter, there is a lack of funding, but I expect after the audit that problem will be solved"
"Well, Madam Bones, the grounds here are big enough to support a farm, there are enough students that want to learn to farm, they can do practical work, along with the elves. With magic aid, there would be no problem to grow at least 50% of our food, I am certain there were fields on the grounds in the past."
Madam Bones: "As long there is no headmaster, you are in charge here lord Potter, so instead of growling at me, you can put those changes in yourself." Dammed I let her think it over. Inspiration hit me and I grinned at her.
"Well… I put Susan in charge of it, she can call you to ask for help?"
Bones: "Nice try Lord potter, you have twenty-three wives, you have all the help that you need. Williamson and Shacklebolt, escort Slughorn to the DMLE. Minerva, I hate to admit it but Lord Potter is right, you can stay on as the transfiguration professor. More is not possible anymore."
Crap, now we have to do it all by ourselves, anyway, I was glad we got rid of the slug.
Back at the table, "Susan, I hate it when your aunt outsmarts me, we have work to do. First, an audit of the board of governors, then hiring an administrator, Ginny, does Percy still have that stick up his ass?"
Ginny looked surprised, "With everything that happened here, he mellowed out a bit. NO! You are going to ask him for the administrator job?"
"Contact him for a meeting, if there is someone that is not afraid of a paper mountain, it is Percy. For the farms, we have to look into the archives or ask some paintings who know of them, and recruit the Herbies. Hey Neville! Come here for a minute, please… Now Nev, did you hear my conversation with Madam Bones? How about you take the lead to create the farm? Let Sprout supervise with her Newt students, the elves will be happy to help too."
Neville looked at me questioningly, "You don't like farming do you?"
"Hell no, I never liked to dig into the ground, I was forced to do that at the Dursleys, and then in summer, after hearing aunt Petunia take the credit of my hard work, made me hate it with a passion."
Hannah: "Don't worry Neville, some of us will help you. We have a few months to prepare, and the real work will only start in spring."
"Great, as long that I don't have to do the digging, everything is fine. Who will volunteer to do the audit of the board?" Hestia raised her hand, along with Hermione, Milli and Pansy. Now a trick from the first Plane:
"Susan, can you create a team to design a magic contract for the headmaster, so they can't abuse their position anymore. Contracts for the teachers, to teach to their best abilities without discriminating anyone on purpose. And a student rule book, although I suspect there is one already. Ask the head boy and girl, along with the prefects to help. Now let's brekkie."
The next day I met with Percy, after I explained about the job, I saw he was interested but still hesitated.
"Percy, you followed what was happening here and in the ministry, so you know there are stupid rules that only stupid men follow. We need an administrator for the paperwork, I know you are devoted to do your job to perfection, we need that here. I offer you this job, it comes with an apartment in the castle.
I heard you date Miss Clearwater, she can have a job too, and move in with you, if she agrees to be the head of Ravenclaw, and you the head of Gryffindor.
This includes two hours tutoring in the evening for the first two years."
Percy: "I will talk it over with Penny, Lord Potter, but I am afraid we do not have much authority, after all, we just graduated a few months ago." Authority? I am already rehashing from the first Plane, so we go for Not original.
"Percy, I can make you a Lord, that will give you enough authority." Percy's eyes shined with greed, as son number three the prospects of being a Lord, are slim or include murder.
Percy: "If you can pull it of Lord Potter then I am in your debt."
"It is simple Percy, your brother Charley prefers dragons over women, so there is a 90% chance he is gay. Talk to him to renounce the Prewitt Lordship, and offer it to you. I will back your claim in the wizengamot, and you have all the authority that you want."
He went to Penny, to talk it over, and owl a letter to Charley. A few days later we had our paper pusher, and three new heads of houses, I made Septima Vectra head of Slytherin, that house needs a female touch.
Life was good, Slughorn got a year in hotel Askaban, for his actions in Hogwarts. We still didn't hear from Dumbledore, I am not asking either. Narcissa? Well… I never heard from her, I guess she had some savings aside, and moved to the main continent.
On my advice the wives allowed Blooddagger to invest 50% of their personal vault in my investment project.
We began to rake the money in. The dancing lessons were a bitch, hours spend in my mindscape, and I still move like Pinocchio on his first day. Fuck it, nobody is perfect, I agree, that I am close to it, but I try to be humble.
The firsties from Hufflepuff and Slytherin complained to me about the tutoring of the lions and claws, while they are left out. We talked it over with the wives, Percy and Penny.
In the end, we modified seven classrooms, close to the library, to a study hall for all four houses, one for each year. We encouraged the prefects to supervise and tutor. After all, teaching it to others makes you understand the courses better.
On an afternoon I paid a visit to Binns, I watched him teach the second years, more like hypnotize them to sleep. When the class was almost ended I stood up and asked him some questions.
"Professor Binns, how many years are you dead?" He looked surprised at me, then puzzled.
Binns: "What year is it now? Why are you asking me this?"
"Well Professor Binns, you are very bad at your job, look around, when you are teaching, they fall asleep within fifteen minutes of your class. Tell me, does it makes you proud that you are crippling these students' education? Are you a vengeful ghost? Is it your purpose here to destroy the schools' reputation?" Smack him around the ghostly ears with enough reproach, and blames, maybe he will move on his own.
Binns: "I have been teaching this class since nineteen-thirteen, and nobody complained to me."
"Because they didn't have to pay you. Consider yourself on notice, after Christmas, there will be another History teacher. If you like this classroom to haunt, we will move the class to another section of the castle." Another shitty teacher is gone.
The audit brought some serious embezzlement in the open, with Malfoy taking the lead, the others were happy to fill their pockets along with him.
They had the choice, pay the last ten years back to the school, or have a room in the hotel Askaban. Now Susan needs to design a contract for the board of governors too.
The dance approaches, everyone was nervous about the preparations and dresses. I am still dancing like a drunken zombie, although cushion charms on their feet avoided the worst damage.
Until Hannah came with the idea to make it a study course, we shared the knowledge, I combined it, and gave it back… Now I have twenty-three professional dancers, and I can only dance as a girl…
All in all, we had a great time, thanks to the stamina potions the girls got their turn on the dance floor, I am certain the water bug will comment on my girly dance routine.
At night, it was Daphne's and Tracey's turn for live-action, after we had some hours in my mindscape. Those months had us ready for three major Masteries, Charms Transfiguration and Runes.
I used Parseltongue to the max. Daphne and Tracey were great in double-teaming Little Harry.
There were enough samples taken, so I did not need to finish in a bloody jar.
Slowly I entered Daffy's cave of wonders, gliding in and out, taking up the tempo.
Daphne: "The man increased the pace, he rammed his member up to his balls against her pussy, panting and groaning in ecstasy." What the fuck? ? ?
Daphne: "The lady put her legs around her lover, pulling him closer, screaming his name when she came for the second time." ...Again… What the bloody fuck? ? ?
Tracey: "Daffy, are you reading those smutty novels again to the patient? You know that Professor Gregory Gotha's experiment with audio stimulants requires that you read normal books to him." ? ?What the hell is happening? ? ?
Daphne: "Meh. Susan and Hannah have that covered, they are reading those Harry Potter books over and over."
Tracey laughed: "Yeah, and Eluna with her theories of the multiverse and science-fiction, if this old guy wasn't in a coma he would run away already." I am awake? No more Harry fucking Potter?
Daphne: "Hey he woke up, I will call nurse Granger, and you can call the old great goat." Both left the room, I looked around and cursed my existence. Calming down, I considered the thing that at least I didn't get paddled. Slowly everything went dark again, I just had the time to curse the Great Goat God.
Daphne just came in with nurse Granger when she heard me curse and slip back into the coma.
Daphne: "Nurse Granger, can you leave that curse out of your report to Professor Gregory Gotha? He is a bit touchy about that nickname."
I woke up when someone was breathing in my face, I opened my eyes, and an enormous fox was sniffing at me. With a yell, I pushed him away with my magic… Again with the magic? ? ? The fox was startled and took off. I looked around me, everything was huge! Until it began to sink in… I am a fucking toddler in a basket! ? !
"SON OFF A BITCH! ! !"
On the previous Plane, Harry was happily fucking the wives, the bastard wasn't even thanking me.
Luna: "The Planes moved apart, we are the ones to go at the dragons. I am happy my love."
