J.K., A wife can be trouble or a blessing, a harem is just trouble, not, if it is in a fanfiction, then we will screw them all. For free…

Previous:

"Next, The Daily Liar, do House Black have shares? I want to put a muzzle on that paper. Then, do any death eaters have loans to house Black? I want to bleed them dry."

Blackdagger: "twenty percent of the Daily Prophet, Lord Black. No outstanding loans, they have them with house Malfoy, the only thing left is a marriage contract that you just activated. You just made yourself the last in your line of House Black." Crap, the plot is screwing me over.

I winched: "Alright, tell me about it." Sirius was grinning, wife number seven was on the way.

Blackdagger: "A contract is activated when House Black has only one male Heir, it is with House Greengrass." Bloody hell, Daphne is going to be mad.

3 Fiancees… a lot of them.

I looked at Sirius and Tonks: "Daphne Greengrass was hoping for Consort Slytherin, so she could continue her House. Does she have to be a Black now? Tonksie will be Lady Black, can Daphne be a consort and keep her kids Greengrass?" Sirius and Tonks went over the contract, Tonks' face turned serious, Sirius's face turned into a smiling one.

Tonks: "No, Lord Black, the children need to be Blacks."

Crap, this is bad: "Blackdagger, can I ask for a meeting with Lord Greengrass? If I send a Patronus to Miss Greengrass, they could be here in less than a half-hour. Lord Weasley, can you talk to your wife and daughter, and ask what Ginny wants. I rather see her happy with someone else, than miserable with me. If she wants me, then I am happy to accept her." I hope that I gave Ginny a good escape route with this.

Blackdagger: "It is a bit unusual Lord Black but you can send your Patronus."

At Greengrass manor, a Patronus appeared next to Daphne, she was talking to her parents about the memories they just watched.

"Miss Greengrass, can you ask your parents to visit Gringotts now? I unintentionally activated a marriage contract between House Black and House Greengrass, and want to talk it over with your parents, I am at my Potter account manager's office. If it is inconvenient now, we will meet on another day. Again, I am sorry if I breached some wizarding rules or customs."

Lord Greengrass: "Strange, how can he activate a Black contract? Unless he is the Lord or Heir prime."

Lady Greengrass: "Did you hear that speech? Most can only send a few words, he must be powerful and skilled to produce a Patronus so young. Maybe it is best we went to Gringotts and hear what the contract says. Daphne, tell Astoria to get ready, we all go to Gringotts."

Fifteen minutes later the Greengrass family entered the meeting room. After introductions, me brushing my lips on Lady Greengrass and Astoria's hands, I first let them read my parents' will. That will get rid of the suspicion of Sirius's presence, and put Dumbledore in a bad light.

Tonks: "Lord Potter, as the Heir of Sirius Black, claimed the Lordship of House Black. We discovered Bellatrix and Narcissa have been abusing the Black accounts, transferring several million to their own accounts by a loan, but never done any payments. Lord Black reclaimed the money and banned them from House Black including Draco Malfoy.

That left Lord Black the single male Black, activating an old contract between your Houses, if you read this you will see there is no way around it."

Meanwhile, Daphne was glaring at me: "Lord Potter, it seems you can not get a day without causing mayhem. Four Houses were not enough?"

I hold my hands up in defense: "Don't hex me please, it was me or Draco, who do you prefer for Lord Black? I did it so I could send the Malfoy's and Lestrange's to the poor house. Although it will be a week before Lucius will be recuperated enough to walk I guess."

Lady Greengrass: "Why is that Lord Potter?"

"Well, Lady Greengrass, you did see the memory of the basilisk? The diary was from Voldy, and Malfoy senior was responsible for its safekeeping, I might have sent him a Patronus telling it, so he will have been on the receiving end of a crucio from Voldy."

Lady Greengrass: "Yes, your Patronus is very impressive Lord Potter."

"Please, call me Harry, one way or another we are going to be family. Miss Daphne, I do not know what is going to happen now, I let your father sort it out with my lawyer. I can tell you that I am loaded now. I cleaned Lestrange and Malfoy's vaults out. I doubt they have a knut left."

Daphne: "I did not want to marry you for your fortune Harry, I came to like the boy, Tracey too, especially after viewing the memories. I am still glad you pulled the fangs of Draco, he was becoming a pain to deal with."

Lord Greengrass: "There is no way out. Daphne, Astoria, one of you has to marry Lord Black, to become consort Black, the children need to be Blacks though, so the other need to continue the line. The contract is centuries old and binding. Once activated the marriage needs to be done within the year. There are some nasty clauses in the contract that I want to talk over with you Lord Black. The clause that you can order my daughter to serve whoever you want, is hard to accept for me."

"Lord Greengrass, if it is possible those clauses will be scrapped, if it is not possible, I am willing to take an oath to not abuse any wife I marry, and treat them as equals. Is that an answer to your concern?" That statement raised some eyebrows.

Sirius: "Equals Harry? You give a lot of power away, The Lord of the House stands above the family and dictates the rules. He gives permission to marry, sometimes he arranges the marriage."

"Come on Sirius, I spend ten years in a cupboard under the stairs at my aunt, thanks to Dumbledore. I have been kept stupid about the wizarding world. So for at least ten years, I have to depend on the wives, while I learn the customs and rules of this society." The comment on the cupboard left them speechless.

Lady Greengrass: "Dumbledore put you there? He witnessed the will, so he knew it was forbidden. He will pay dearly for that. Anyway, we have some decisions to make. Dear? We will think about it this week, and let lord Black know what you decide, is that alright?" He just nodded, it seems they are equals too.

Sirius: "We come together next week around this time at my house, first I have to get rid of some order. Arthur, you can tell us Ginny's decision then too."

I smiled: "I let Dobby and Winky help clean the house, they are looking for more work to do." And I can get the locket." Astoria was observing me, one way or another she ends up as a consort. Daphne had her mind set up for House Greengrass, so she thought she could marry whomever she wanted. That went down the drain now.

We said our goodbyes, I whispered to Sirius to never be alone with Dumbels or snape. And tell his elf to refuse to obey anyone but him and me.

While Tonksie escorted Sirius back home, I stayed in Gringotts to talk business with Skinscraper. I followed mum and gramps's discussions about abusing future knowledge and the way to do it. Telling them I have future knowledge is out. So the next best thing is lying.

"Skinscraper, I want to diversify my investments, is Gringotts doing business in the muggle world? I want to have some investments in the muggle world. Take twenty million galleons and change it into pounds." I listed several firms to invest in, from food, software, games, computers, communications, and more. With so many different branches to invest in, I hoped to mask that they all will earn big time.

Skinscraper: "That is a big risk you are taking Lord Potter, I hope it works out for you."

"To be honest Skinscraper, I do this for two reasons, first, it is the money from the Lestrange vault, using it in the muggle world is fitting. Second, the muggle world is bigger than the wizarding world so it is better to invest it there, the wizarding world is shrinking, with two wars, and the next one is on its way. Then, the discrimination of half-bloods and muggleborns is forcing them to go back to the muggle side, leaving the wizarding world smaller and smaller. So going the muggle way is covering all options."

That is enough bullshit to cover it I guess. I waited for Tonksie in the lobby, several people paid attention to me. Suddenly I spotted Skeeter, I smiled and motioned to her to come closer.

"Miss Skeeter, how nice to see you, have you been buzzing around here a lot? I have some news for you, want to hear it?"

Skeeter stiffened at the buzzing: "Harry Potter, the boy with delusions. What do you want to tell me? He who can't be named is back? You already told it." Bitchy is asking for it.

"No, Rita, don't bug me for that, I recently read my parents' will, did you know that in that will it said that Peter Pettigrew was my parents' secret keeper, instead of my godfather by ritual, Sirius Black? If it was Sirius that betrayed me, he would have dropped dead on the spot. Now, tell me, why would they put him in Askaban without a trial or conviction? Technically, Sirius did not escape prison, he escaped his kidnappers. I am going to put a lawsuit against the ministry for the kidnapping and torturing of Heir Black. Did you know that in there, they gave him a potion that made him sterile? That is an attempt at line theft. It was a good thing that he blood adopted me at the godfather ritual and made me his Heir. Did you know Sirius was never a death eater? Those morons that arrested him never checked for a mark.

So here I am, I just claimed my Lordship of House Black, here, this is the ring, and the Potter ring too. I guess The Daily Garbage must be glad. The Blacks have a twenty percent share in it. Potters too you know, now I have forty percent shares of a gossip paper that is doing its best to insult his owner. Seriously, if you write the truth about me, no matter how bad, I allow it. But you have to prove it is the truth you bitch. Tell your colleges to change their tunes or find another job.

Rita, if I find a water bug buzzing around, I smack it. I have enough of your bullshit, now fuck of."

I am curious what she is going to write in tomorrow's newspaper. Tonksie was listening to my speech, smiling more and more as my speech progressed.

Tonksie: "Hubby, that was a professional smackdown, I am so proud of you, now let's go back before Madam Bones comes home." I still hate apparition, Susan and Hannah were already home, Tracey Davis was with them.

Tracey: "Harry? The Greengrasses were not home, although Daph told me she would wait for me. Darry told me they were asked to come to Gringotts by you, can you explain it, please?

"Alright, but this stays between us, no gossiping allowed. I claimed the Lordship of House Black today, I kicked Draco out of House Black leaving me the only male Black. It activated a contract between House Greengrass and House Black. Because I already promised Lady Black to Tonksie, Daphne or Astoria will be Consort Black." That reminds me to thank Bellatrix, I concentrated on a good speech and sent it off.

Tonksie: "Where did you send it Harry?"

Smiling: "Thanking aunty Bella for her money, I told her I invested it in the muggle world, it was quite a lot actually, about twenty million."

Tracey yelled: "You invested twenty million galleons in the muggle world? Do you have any money left? That is a bloody fortune!"

"Relax dear, it isn't even half of what I own. I put the Malfoy's, Lestrange's, and Dumbledore in the poor house, I even have the ministry by the short and curly's. They have to play nice to me now, or I send my dads-in-law to them.

Now tell me, do I have future fiancees in front of me?"

Blushing Hannah and Tracey nodded, Susan hugged Hannah: "I will know after dinner if aunty comes home at all, you gave her a lot to do."

"I must warn you all though, it is getting out of hand, it started with you five, then one more from House Greengrass or miss Daphne let miss Astoria continue the line and becomes a Black. Arthur Weasley was witness to the claiming, some bad things happened between Dumbledore, House Weasley, and House Potter, things I want to keep still for now, anyway, he asked for a contract for Ginny Weasley.

I could not refuse that without embarrassing House Weasley. I left a way out for Ginny, she can refuse if she doesn't want to share a husband.

So there will be five, six, or seven wives. Honestly, how can this work? Once every week? All seven in the same bed? Remember, I am muggle raised, so I have no clue."

The remark of seven in bed made them blush. Susan commented: "usually there is a main wive that arranged the rotation, although two or three wives is normal. Seven is never heard of, and you have Griffindor and Gaunt without a wive. So it can add up to nine."

Tracey: "Daphne and I looked it up, Griffindor can not be passed on to the children. It is earned through valor and blood. You must be of the line but work for it. House Gaunt is a fallen House, it was squibbed out sixty years ago."

I commented: "I doubt I will find a girl that wants to be a Lady for Voldemort's mothers' House. So five, six, or seven." I will keep House Peverell quiet for now.

Tonksie joked: "The girls will line up for the chance to marry you Harry, no matter the House."

"Yeah right, I believe that the line is so long, that the only kiss I ever got was from a dementor, and he had bad breath." Yep, seven wives to be, and I had to be glad the dementor didn't use his tongue.

Tonksie: "Dear, I would kiss you, but I am on duty, Madam Bones would kick my ass if I did that.

Tracey: "I want Daphne to be present for our kiss."

Hannah: "Sue needs to be sure." Is this the cock blocking from the stories? Surrounded by girls and never getting some action? The Harry in Gramps story didn't get any, until in the last chapters with some blow jobs and he had a dozen wives. I am getting depressed, I am even not in the real story, but a fanfiction, so chances are that I am next to grandpa, getting stories told by college beauties. Fuck it, I will get whatever I can in here.

Madam Bones send her German shepherd Patronus over, telling us she has to work late, and asked Tonksie to stay for the night. Smiling I asked in what bed she wanted to sleep, to guard me you have to be close, so I offered her a spot in my bed.

Tonksie: "Too early hun, you have to wait a while, not on the first date you know."

"Ah, well, I can wait. Where is that book on families Sue, I want to learn about your families." We spend an hour going through the pedigrees from our families. After Dinner I spend some time teaching the Patronus to the girls, my dragon was circling the girls to give them a happy boost. Soon, Hannah and Susan had matching animals, both have honey badgers. Explaining even lions leave them alone, killing snakes, fearless fighters, they were happy with them. Tracey had a wolf, Tonksie had a Jack Russel.

We started on the messenger Patronus, Tracey was first this time, and send a message to Daphne, soon she was here too. She was a fast student and had it down in only a few tries. Another wolf was born. An hour later the girls were exhausted. Daphne and Tracey went home, and the rest to their rooms, too bad Tonksie got her own room.

In bed I got over all the things that happened in gramps fanfiction, I still have a lot of catching up to do. Glad that the business in Gringotts was almost done. One more Horcrux, and a snake, the ministry, and the death eaters.

My magic! I have to try what the Harry from gramps did, spreading my magic out, imagining tentacles, and try to move stuff with it. I concentrated on the burning feeling I had with the dementors, after finding it, guiding it through my arms to some objects on the dresser.

It works! I lifted some small objects from the dresser, some papers, a few pieces of cloth, a candle. I felt like Matilda from the book of Roald Dahl. Soon ten objects were flying through the room, I suppose this is my wandless magic. At least now I have some confidence in satisfying the future wives. Almost at midnight, I got tired, by then I had three globes of light hovering around me, my clothes and shoes were flying, all kind of small things were moving in circles above my bed. I put everything back in place and fell asleep.

The next morning Dobby woke me up. Dammed, in the stories, Harry gets girls who came to wake him up. I knew I got shafted here.

At the breakfast table I was the last one again, while apologizing I sat down. Unconsciously I took a piece of bread with my magic, and a jar of jam from the other side and put it on my plate. While I was putting some jam on my bread, everyone was slack-jawed. Wandless magic is not common it seems.

Madam Bones was the first to snap out of it: "Harry? Since when can you do wandless magic?"

I thought for a bit: "I am not certain, I did not use a spell to kill those dementors, I just felt this burning feeling inside and guided it through my arms and my wand, those were white-hot flames, they kept on burning until there was nothing more than ashes and some bones.

Last night in bed, I tried to get that feeling back and tried to move small objects. It was easier than I expected, I practiced until midnight, by then I could hold more than twenty small objects in the air, and move them around. It feels almost natural to me now."

Susan was eager: "Can you teach us? We want to do that too."

I joked: "Sorry Susan, that is family magic, you have to marry me first." By the look on their faces, I said something wrong.

"Alright, I can tell that I said something inappropriate. Remember? I am muggle raised. What did I say wrong?"

Madam Bones responded: "Actually, family magic exists, magic, that only family members are allowed to learn. We were surprised you know of it."

I smiled at that: "I was just joking around Madam Bones, I did not know family magic is real. I was teasing Susan because she wants to be consort Potter… I will shut up now."

Madam Bones: "Susan? Did you ask Lord Potter for a consort contract?"

I interfered: "Madam Bones, maybe it is simpler to show the memory? It will explain a lot."

Susan: "No Harry, aunty, yesterday Harry upset Tonks, Daphne, Tracey, Hannah, and me, we kind of guided Harry to offer marriage to all girls in the room. We all jumped in on that chance and asked for permission to ask our parents to open negotiations. Tracey and Hannah already talked to the parents and have permission to be courted, I wanted to ask you last night, but you were late. I wanted to ask you after breakfast."

"Madam Bones, I don't mind. I do need wives for my Houses, and they offered themselves to me. All are smart, beautiful, and fun to be around. And I don't have to look for wives myself this way. So to make things easier, Madam Bones, Susan and I showed interest in each other and would like your permission to negotiate a marriage contract for House Potter."

Madam Bones smiled at my stumbling through the wizarding customs: "Close enough Lord Potter, We will talk about it after breakfast. Five wives in one day? That would be a record I think."

"Madam Bones, I am a Lord of five Houses now, yesterday after lunch, I claimed house, Black. I wanted Sirius to claim it, but someone gave him a sterilization potion in Askaban. After I claimed the Lordship, we went over the accounts and contracts. Bellatrix and Narcissa Malfoy had loaned several million from House Black and didn't repay a single knut. So I reclaimed the money from Lestrange, and demanded the payments, interests, and penalties from House Malfoy, he has a week to repay the original loan. I dissolved Bellatrix's marriage, and kicked her and Narcissa, along with Draco Malfoy out of House Black. By doing so, I activated a dormant marriage contract with House Greengrass. Lord Weasley offered negotiations for his daughter Ginny, I accepted on the condition Ginny needs to want it too. So there are five, six, or seven fiancees." That had all the girls giggling.

Madam Bones: "You do move fast Harry, what are you planning next?"

I shrugged: "Nothing much, send a few Patronus to Voldemort, see if someone want to buy a basilisk, visit my properties, you know, keeping myself busy. Did you know Hannah and Susan can send messages with a Patronus too?"

Madam Bones yelled: "You send a Patronus to Voldemort? Do you want to die? He is a maniac!"

"Relax Madam Bones, I reduced the funding of his war and created discord in his ranks. You saw the memory of the basilisk, in there, he said his real name, he is the son of a muggle and a squib, pretending to be a pureblood, so my Patronus told them so. He killed Lord Gaunt, his grandfather, and blamed his uncle, he told me he killed his muggle relatives too. They will hide as long as Fudge will hide his head in the sand."

Tonksie: "Never a dull moment with Harry. I will tag along with him Madam Bones and keep him out of problems."

The Daily Nonsense came in, the headlines were telling they had a mood change.

Boy Who lives is Man that became a Lord!

Sirius Black presumed innocent! Never been a death eater!

Heir Black was kidnapped by the ministry, and put in Askaban without a trial!

Sirius Black is Godfather by ritual, he could not have betrayed the Potters!

Boy Who lives is now Lord Potter and Lord Black!

Lord Black plans a lawsuit against the ministry, for kidnapping and torturing Heir Sirius Black

The articles were in my favor this time.

I looked at Madam Bones and said: "I met Miss Skeeter, we had a good talk, forty percent of the shares helped too. Do you know when my hearing is planned? That should be fun."

Madam Bones: "Nothing is easy with you Lord Potter, this will stir the Wizengamot up. It will accelerate the procedure to clear Sirius Black. We better start talking about Susan, because you just gave me a week's work. Now, what are your intentions with my niece? What do you offer? And what are your demands?"

"Madam Bones, I will try to respond as honestly as I can be. I intend to marry Susan as Consort of House Potter. I offer the children to be of House Bones, Susan is free to pursue any career she wants, except for working in the red light district. All my wives will be treated as equals, they will have a say in the running of the family and the business. Every wife will get a personal vault with three hundred fifty thousand galleons, to use as she sees fit. Every House of theirs will receive hundred fifty thousand galleons.

My demands are: loyalty to me and the sister wives, the children, although they will be named Bones, are mine too, and will be raised in our home with the rest of the children. Fidelity to me, so no cheating on me with another man. I do not know the customs and rules, but these are my thoughts." Silence… was I too demanding? What if Susan wants to work in the red light district? Wants to cheat on me?

Madam Bones: "Lord Potter, if I was twenty years younger, then I would offer myself for marriage to you. That bride's price will shake the wizarding world. Now, you have my blessing to marry Susan, when do you want to hold the ceremony?"

I thought it over: "The contract between House Greengrass and House Black demands a wedding within a year from activation. For now, I think next year in July, then we have our Owls done. We can do them apart or together, the girls will decide on that." That got me hugs from three girls.

Hannah: "Can I tell my parents this? Tracey and Daphne need to know this too." I suggested a Patronus for it, they probably are at breakfast too. Two badgers took off. Crap, with those conditions, I will get both Greengrasses. Two wolves came in, asking permission to come over with the parents. Madam Bones nodded, and the badgers took off again. Hannah hurried to the floo to call her parents over until she realized she could send her badger too.

Soon the in-laws came in, Tonks Senior was summoned by Tonksie. I met Andromeda for the first time, Milf is a good description for her. After introductions, I repeated my conditions for the marriage contracts. What those pure-bloods normally demanded must be horrible, because they wanted to sign the contract on the spot, even my own lawyer.

Tonks: "Last night Mr. Weasley contacted me, to inform me his daughter Ginny had a problem with sharing her husband."

"That makes it five,or six, Lord Greengrass?" He looked at his wife and daughters, they all nodded.

Lord Greengrass: "Six, Lord Potter, Those are conditions, unseen in the wizarding world, you grant your wives freedom compared to the times when covens were common. Daphne and Astoria are happy to be your wives."

"Master Tonks, contact Lord Weasley, I will pay the education of his children, no need to return it, that will soften the disappointment to miss out on the brides' price. And to be clear, there will be no wife number seven, I hope. Lords and Ladies, I need guiding in the rules and customs, also, my seats in the wizengamot need representation, I have four seats I think, Potter, Black, Slytherin, and Griffindor. Did Gaunt have one? It squibbed out trough inbreeding." By now, I am just repeating discussions between mum and gramps, what do I ever know about politics and the wizengamot. I am just trying to look smart and cool before the ladies.

Tonks: "I will contact Arthur, Lord Potter, did you have anything to do with those articles in the Prophet? This will cause big waves, I am not sure what the reaction from Fudge is going to be."

"Well, I met miss Skeeter in the lobby of Gringotts, and mentioned some facts to her, the main fact being that I own forty percent of the shares from that gossip rag, also if she writes lies about me, she will have to look for another job. Fudge? He will change his tune when he finds out that I put Malfoy in the poor house.

Mr. Tonks, a question, Peter Pettigrew conducted a necromancer ritual, erecting a homunculus with the personality of Voldemort. Is Pettigrew the owner of that homunculus? I send him a Patronus with that question and asked him to let it call him Master. I wonder if he tried that." Again silence…

Lord Davis: "We better let the girls marry him this week. With those actions, I doubt he will survive until next year." What confidence, although… then I get my cherry popped next week. I am all for it.

Madam Bones: "Sorry to cut things short but duty calls, with the chaos Lord Potter caused I doubt that I will sleep this week. I suggest letting the girls stay here this week to get to know each other, Nymphadora will act as a bodyguard and chaperon."

Everyone said their goodbyes. Here I was, standing one against six.

To break the ice, I asked: "What did Lord Greengrass mean with that comment on the coven? What is a coven? I never heard of it."

Daphne responded: "Thousand years ago, witches that could not get a husband or were a witches-witch, banded together, to protect themselves. Later on, they did a binding ritual to ensure the members stay loyal and gave extra power to those witches, usually, one wizard was included, to provide children and protection against a male-oriented society. There are rumors, that the witch-hunting was caused by wizards, who were jealous of the power of the covens. After the wizarding world got into hiding, covens were shunned, and rituals were banned for being dark."

I shrugged: "I don't mind if you girls want to create a coven, I doubt there is a law against that, and extra power is always a good thing. It also creates a bond between us, if I understand it right. That will take care of jealousy and envy. Now, who wants to learn wandless magic?"
