Goooooood moooooorning everyone or rather afternoon really...it is I, the lovable scallywag known as Mira Quinn. I am posting up four stories that are various lengths towards being done. Feel free to submit ideas, endings or heck even a new title.

The four stories are:

1. When Harry met Gabby - Harry x Gabrielle - Tri-Wizard tournament and beyond?

2. Harry Potter and the Bond - Harry x Fleur - Soul Bond - Summer before Tri-wizard tournament

3. Healing Bones - Harry x Susan Bones - Before 5th year

4. The Princess and the Golden Boy - Harry x Daphne - Triwizard Tournament

I'm going to see how these go but I've also got a couple of non Tri-wizard stories with pairings like femHarry x Tonks, Harry and the Carrow sisters, as well as Harry and Hermione. Let me know if you want to see those and I can place them up.

I absolutely love all your comments and suggestions so as always...

"The Rune stone has been broken. They are undefended my master," a mysterious voice said.

"Excellent. We leave at once. Amelia Bones has troubled us for the last time."

Harry Potter shot up in bed sweating. He had to do something. He had to help. He knew that Amelia had her niece, Susan staying with her. He vaguely remembered her from the DA. She was a Hufflepuff if memory serves. He wasn't about to let either one get killed at the hands of Voldemort and his death eaters. He quickly threw on some jeans and his wand holder.

"Dobby!" With a pop the excitable house elf appeared. Before he could even get a word in, Harry spoke. "I need you to take me to Madam Bones right away." Dobby nodded and they disappeared in a pop. They reappeared in a living room as the front door exploded open and a man in a silver mask stepped through.

"Fulgur Hastae!" A bolt of lightning leapt from his wand and scorched the death eater before continuing out the door. He heard a door behind him slam open!

"What in…"

"Metallum Murum!" With a flick of his wand a large steel slab appeared in the doorway. "That won't hold them for long. Where's Susan?"

Amelia Bones had a thousand questions but she knew now was not the time. She snapped into Auror mode. "Upstairs."

"Let's move!" They were almost to the stairs when the steel slab melted. "Dobby, top of the stairs. Follow Madam Bones. I'll be right behind you." With a wave of his wand the living room furniture turned into miscellaneous predatory animals and charged out the front door, hopefully buying some time. "Glacies Infundibulum!" This time a wave of sharp ice shards flew from his wands just as a death eater stepped through the door. The incoming death eater was pinned to the wall. Suddenly a red bolt shot over his head and hit the wall above him. Another death eater had come in from the back. "Mille Cultri!" Knives appeared in the air and hurtled towards the defending intruder who threw up a protego. The knives being solid objects and not spells went directly through it. He imagined the death eaters last look was one of surprise. At the top of the stairs, Harry made a fluid motion and the stairs to the second floor collapsed.

"Metallum Murum!" He put up another steel slab where the stairs used to be before turning around to check on everything. There was a single door that stood open and Harry heard the death eaters screaming and attempting to follow them. With a wave of his wand he put up a magical barrier further down the hallway.

When he stepped into the room, he was drenched in sweat. He saw Madam Bones in a robe and Susan in a tank top and shorts, both were staring at him. Dobby was standing there with them as he closed the door and warded this. "We need to get out of here. This place isn't safe. They've broken your rune stone and probably set up their own magic." He turned towards Dobby as he heard the metal wall he had set up explode. "Take us home Dobby." With a snap of his fingers all four of them had disappeared, reappearing in the living room of a place that neither had ever been before. He quickly summoned a sheet of parchment and wrote something on it before handing it to the girls.

"Welcome to Potter Manor, ladies. Madam Bones, the fireplace is over there. I assume you'll want to call the aurors and let them know what happened," he said calmly before collapsing into a chair with his eyes closed. He heard Madam Bones scurry off to the fireplace and then the room was quiet. He opened an eye and saw Susan sitting there still stunned. "You gonna be alright?" She had lost words and just managed a shrug. "I'm sorry about everything that happened." He stood and even though the fight had taken a lot out of him, he left the room returning moments later with a blanket and a pair of butterbeers. Setting the drinks down on the table he wrapped the blanket around the young redhead who pulled it tight around here. He took a seat next to her. "I wish I could have been there sooner but I quite literally didn't get the warning until just before it happened."

"We can talk about that later, Mister Potter. For now though I would likely to get Kingsley and Tonks here. Is that alright?" Madam Bones asked. He closed his eyes, connecting with the wards to let the two individuals in. He opened his eyes and nodded in response. Madam Bones disappeared once more, leaving the two teens sitting there. They sat in silence as Harry knew that she was still processing everything.

"Thank you...for saving our lives. Mine and Aunties. If it hadn't been for you…," the young redhead began as tears filled her eyes. Not knowing what else to do he put an arm around her and pulled her closer so she could cry on him. That's exactly what happened. He held her as she wrapped her arms around him and wept until she passed out from exhaustion. After she was asleep, he tried to move so he could lay her down but she had a solid grip on him. He resigned to scooting all the way to one end so she could stretch out while she slept. He kicked his feet up on the table, leaned his head back and closed his eyes. Moments later, the exhausted teen had fallen asleep.

The flames roared around her as a hooded figure stood in front of her and laughed. The house was on fire and collapsing around her. Her wand was missing and she was alone. All she could do was curl up and weep. The laughing grew louder as the figure stood over her. She saw a beam from the roof catch on fire and fall right towards her.

Susan Bones woke up with a start and felt tears rolling down her cheeks. She sat up and looked around, unsure of where she was.

"You alright," a half asleep voice asked. She turned around and her eyes went wide as she found out that she'd been sleeping on Harry Potter. She nodded at his question.

"Yes." She replied softly. "I'm sorry to wake you. It was a nightmare. There was fire everywhere and this man was laughing like he wanted to kill me." Her lips began to tremble once more as she felt an arm wrap around her and pull her closer.

"It's alright. You're safe here. This place is unplottable and has more wards than I ever knew existed. Besides I won't let anything happen to you or your aunt." She nodded as she curled into him for comfort. A few weeks ago the pair of them had left school after barely speaking to each other all year. Sure they were friendly when they saw each other with her having been in the DA and all but they never really got to know him yet here she was hanging on to him for dear life. After a few moments she spoke up.

"What time is it...and where's Auntie Amy?"

With a flick of his wrist Harry's wand popped into his hand. "Tempus" The resulting display said 7:12 am. "As for your second question, I'm not entirely sure. I passed out shortly after you did. You wouldn't let go of me."

"Sorry," she whispered, looking down. She went to move but found herself held against him, firmly yet caringly.

"You're fine. I'll let you go but you don't have to move if you want. I know how hard it is, especially with nightmares like that. I had...quite a few of my own after the Tri-Wizard tournament." With that he loosened his arm, allowing her to move if she so desired. She stayed where she was even cuddling closer. With a flick of his wand behind him, the curtains opened behind them letting natural light, causing them to squint. " I suppose we should figure out where Madam Bones is and what's going on. I suspect it will be a….trying day." She nodded in agreement. Despite the fact that they had agreed on getting up both remained where they were a few more minutes. "We're not getting very far are we?" She shook her head.

"No we aren't." A mischievous smile crossed his face.

"Well...I guess I'll have to resort to…" without a further word he began to tickle Susan who he found was quite ticklish indeed. She squeaked in surprise before bursting out laughing as she tried to escape him but he didn't give up easily and followed her as she fell back the other way. He continued his advance of tickling with a grin, enjoying her laughter. It was like music to his ears. The door to the kitchen swung open as Tonks, Kingsley and Madam Bones appeared with wands in hand. They couldn't believe what they saw as they observed both the pair of teens on the couch with Harry over Susan, tickling her mercilessly. He stopped mid tickle with a grin as though he were a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Wotcher Harry," Tonks called out. "Having fun?" Despite the smile on her face she looked exhausted as did the other two. Harry nodded.

"Absolutely! Hope I didn't interrupt anything," he stated returning to his original seat. Susan sat up, and wrapped the blanket around her before moving down to sit next to him causing Madam Bones to raise an eyebrow.

"Now that you're both awake, perhaps we can talk about everything that happened," Madam Bones said.

"Like how adorable you two looked last night," Tonks added, causing Susan to blush.

"I'm sure you're just as adorable...though perhaps I should ask Professor Lupin," Harry replied with a smirk as his wand popped from his holster once more. Tonks blushed and was quiet after that as Harry enlarged the coffee table and conjured chairs for the other three to sit in. "Dobby!" Once more the house elf appeared, looking a little less excited after their early morning adventures. "A round of pepper-up potions and some breakfast please. Get one for yourself too if it'll help, then take the day to rest and relax. Thank you for your help this morning." Dobby's eyes widened as his ears flapped.

"Dobby is happy to help the great master Harry Potter sirs!" With a snap the potions appeared on the table and the elf disappeared.

"How many times do I have to tell him it's just Harry," he mumbled before picking up a pair of potions. He handed one to Susan who thanked him quietly. "Everyone drink up and then we'll talk. None of us have had much sleep and this will get us through the day." The group nodded and everyone downed their potions with the same look of disgust at the taste.

"They really need to find a way to make those taste better," Tonks commented to which everyone agreed. Harry stood up and walked over to a cabinet before retrieving a pensive. He sat it on the table before placing the wand to his temple and dropping a thin whispy memory into the pensive. With that everyone dove into the memory which started with his nightmare connection to Voldemort and ended with his falling asleep with Susan on the couch.

"So that's how you knew what was going to happen. It appears you arrived just in time to save myself and Susan. We both owe you our lives. Thank you." Harry waved it off like it was no big deal.

"Neither one of you owe me a thing. I wasn't about to let anything happen to you. If Voldemort attacked you, it means he sees you as a threat. Hopefully we can find a way to stop him before this happens to anyone else. Now what about your home?"

"Burned to the ground with the dark mark in the sky above it," Kingsley answered.

"I've seen some of those spells before," Tonks replied, thinking before her eyes snapped up. "Sirius ! I've seen him practice some of those. That means…" Harry nodded before turning to those that didn't understand.

"I learned a lot of those from the Black Family Magical Grimoire. Some I can teach, some I cannot."

"Your spellwork was amazing. I've never seen anything like it much less those spells." Madam Bones spoke.

"Remember that in a couple years when I apply to be an Auror," Harry mentioned with a wink, causing Madam Bones to smirk. "Anything else before I continue," he asked looking around the room.

"I feel it's worth mentioning how good you looked in just your boxers," Tonks said with a smile. Secretly Susan agreed with him but was way to shy to say anything.

"I didn't know you cared THAT much," Harry teased as he put the pensive away before returning to his seat next to Susan. He grabbed the butterbeers from the previous night before tapping each one with his wand, causing them to become cold. He removed the top and handed the first one to Susan who took with a thanks and a smile. "Now...as I am Lord of House Black as well as House Potter, I believe we should start the...Sirius business," he stated with a grin causing Tonks to burst out laughing while Amelia Bones just groaned.

Before any more could be said, several plates appeared around the table containing eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and potatoes as well as a glass of pumpkin juice. Harry held out his hands. "Please eat while I talk." He once again handed a plate to Susan who smiled up at him, causing him to smile in return. Madam Bones watched the interaction between the two, curious at the pair. Susan had mentioned him in her letters back home as the one who taught a secret defense club but she hadn't realised the pair were that close.

"First off, as I stated I am the head of two ancient and noble houses. House Potter and House Black. That being said, I am placing House Bones under my protection. Secondly, you are welcome to stay here as long as you like. What's mine is yours. This place is too big for just Dobby and myself. Besides, there's a pool out back. Thirdly, as there was a lot that was destroyed including your wardrobes, we shall be going shopping this afternoon to replace everything. I don't want to hear any fussing or complaining and I won't take no for an answer. I have spoken," he stated in a firm but caring manner. He looked at the group, none of them were eating and they were all staring at him. Both Amelia and Susan were stunned and had tears in their eyes. Susan was the first to react as she set her plate down and stood. She hugged him and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you Harry...for everything. This time you really are a hero." Tears began to fall from her eyes once more and he hugged her even as he blushed.

"You're welcome," he whispered. "Like I said, I won't let anything happen to either of you." Meanwhile Amelia Bones stood and made her way to Harry as well.

"Well Mister Potter, I believe you've left us no choice but to accept your most generous offer. We will never be able to repay this generosity and kindness you have shown us."

"Nor is there any need to. I do not wish repayment. I simply mean to ensure that both of you are safe and you are for which I am most thankful. There is one thing though, call me Harry."

"Well then Harry, you may call me Amelia or Amy if you prefer. If you would oblige me I have a single question."

"Go ahead."

"What exactly is going on between you and my niece?" Tonks nearly choked on her pumpkin juice before bursting out laughing meanwhile Harry turned bright red and began to stammer.

"I..er...wha...I mean…"

"AUNTIE AMY," Susan shrieked in surprise but Amelia didn't budge.

"I think I have a right to know who my niece is dating." Susan turned bright red and shook her head.

"Madam Bones...er...Amy, Susan and I are just friends. We knew each other from the DA but other than that we haven't really talked." He explained, still bright red.

"So you mean to tell me that the two of you just started getting cozy this morning? I notice how you've been towards her, serving her first and how the two of you remain close, not to mention the way you two sneak looks at each other." Both teens were bright red at this and Harry had lost control of the room.

"I didn't realize there was anything wrong with serving a lady first nor do I think there is anything wrong with occasionally glancing at a beautiful woman," he blushed as he said it but he was doing his best to remain vigilant. "As far as us being close to each other, I've been comforting her since you both arrived back here."

"It's true Auntie Amy! Harry and I are just friends. I've stayed close to him because...well...umm…" she mumbled something as she turned redder than her hair.

"What was that Susan? I didn't catch that last part," Amelia asked.

"I said he makes me feel safe. He saved us last night, he was there when I had a nightmare this morning about the house burning and he's been nothing but a perfect gentleman to me." Madam Bones looked between the two bright red teens and smirked.

"Very well. As your guardian it was my right to know...though keep in mind...if you do decide to date, you have my blessing." She smiled mischievously and sat back down. The two teens sat back on the couch but remained close together.

"I'm not sure if that was brilliant or evil, boss," Tonks whispered.

After the group finished eating, Harry banished the dishes to the sink where they began to clean themselves. Harry gave them a tour of the manor, including the pool, and the training and exercise room in the basement. Finally he led them to the top floor. There were several doors on either side of the hallway and a set of double doors at the end that remained open from when he rushed out earlier that morning.

"You're free to pick any room you wish. Mine's at the end of the hall. As you can see we have plenty of space." Susan picked the room on the left side of the hallway next to Harry's room while Amy picked one on the right. A few minutes later, they were all back downstairs. Tonks and Amelia were talking before both Tonks and Kingsley left.

"I sent Tonks to pick up my spare set of clothes from the office. Unfortunately the job requires overnight stays on occasion. I'm afraid I don't have anything for Susan though," Amelia said.

"That's fine. I'm sure we can find something. Worst case we just transfigure it a bit. No biggie," Harry replied.

"I've been meaning to ask you about that Harry. Don't take it as I'm ungrateful but how are you able to magic outside of school?"

"Custom wand. No tracking on it. Useful when you're on the top of Tom's hit list."

"Tom?"

"Voldemort's real name is Tom Marvelo Riddle. He's a half-blood despite all the pure blood garbage he puts out." Both Bones girls gasped.

"How do you know all this?" Madam Bones asked.

"It's been a busy couple years." Harry turned to Susan and smirked. "Wanna go see if we can find you something that will fit?"

"You smooth talker. How many women have you let raid your closet," she replied teasingly.

"You're the first Sue."

"Oh it's Sue now is it? I usually only let my friends get away with that."

"You slept on me. I think that makes us friends," he said with a chuckle as he led her back upstairs and towards his room. Amelia Bones just shook her head. She may know it before they did but those two had sparks between them.

The teens entered the master bedroom before heading towards his closet. He opened the doors and she gasped at the size of the closet. It was charmed to be bigger on the inside but it was still only about half full.

"Pick anything you'd like. There's t-shirts both magical and muggle, jeans, shorts, whatever floats your fancy."

"What? No skirts? I'm disappointed." She joked.

"It's on my to do list," he shot back with a grin.

"Well we are going shopping today…"

"Pass. I don't think I'd look nearly as good as you in one."

"That's probably true. Though you did say I was beautiful." She teased.

"And I meant it," he said grabbing a green button down shirt and a pair of nice black cargo shorts. He went to the back of the wardrobe and grabbed another pair of boxers out of a drawer.

"So it took me nearly being killed and us being interrogated by the head of the DMLE for you to admit it?" She joked.

"It's the first time I could get you alone. What? You just expect me to walk up to you at school in the middle of all your friends and be like "Hey Susan, I think you're pretty. Wanna go to Hogsmeade?""

"See? That wasn't so hard!" She grinned as she rifled through his clothes settling on a black band shirt and a pair of athletic shorts. "What's a..Metallica?" Harry chuckled.

"It's a muggle rock band. One of my favorites actually. I've got some of their music...or rather Sirius did and I inherited it all. He managed to combine a wizard wireless with a muggle jukebox so we can listen to his old CDs."

"That's pretty neat. I didn't know it could be done."

"Me neither. The master bathroom is through there if you wanna change." He said pointing to the other door in the room.

"You don't want me to just change right here?" She asked innocently. If Harry was an anime character his nose would have shot blood out of it.

"I..err...uh…"

"You're so much fun to tease," she said as she took the clothes and headed out of the closet. He heard the bathroom door close but didn't hear it lock. He stood there for another minute just blinking before he shook his head and began to change.

He was buttoning his shirt as he heard the bathroom door open. He turned to see her enter and lean against the door frame. His eyes went wide and his jaw hit the ground. There she stood, with her long red hair down, his favorite band shirt stretching across her buxom chest and the athletic shorts showing plenty of smooth, soft leg. He immediately forgot what he was doing and realized this would be his new Patronus moment, even if they weren't dating. All she could do was smile as she walked towards him, her hips moving as she did so. He felt his heart race as she came closer. She ran her hand down his muscular chest as she met his emerald eyes with her chocolate ones. Without him even realizing it she had finished buttoning his shirt. Then she leaned forward and whispered in his ear.

"Remember to breathe. Wouldn't do to have the hero pass out at the sight of a girl now would it?" With that she turned and walked out of the closet and he could not keep his eyes off her posterior. After she left, he finally let out the breath he'd been holding. His mind was racing with thoughts as he leaned against the wall in the closet. Voldemort I can handle. Susan Bones, not so much. I'm in trouble. He was lucky that Sirius wasn't here to take the mickey out of him even though he did miss the old dog.

Minutes later, Harry headed down the stairs to find Amelia and Susan sitting on the couch, talking. They both turned to look at him as he headed down the stairs, though Susan wore a smirk.

"Ready to go," he asked. "We've got a lot to get today. Two entire wardrobes in fact." Both girls nodded and with that the three of them were gone.
