Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling owns the Harry Potter Universe all other claimants to anything to do with the H.P. story are simply hangers on to her glory. I thank her for allowing us mere mortals to play in her world and I promise that while I have Harry in my care nothing bad will happen to him. I will leave that to J.K.R. herself in book six.

Authors Notes. I am running a bit behind with my writing, I have spent days converting my computer from Win 98-2 to Win Xp and I am still not sure that it was worth it.

Anyway here is the next chapter, this story seems to be growing and I hope that you all like it.

H.P. Love is All You Need

Chapter 6. And Move Along.

Waking up on Sunday morning in Privet Drive had never been like this because that felt like a nipple in his mouth and he couldn't decide to whom it belonged without some further clues. So he found the owners other breast with his left hand and started massaging the little hard bit on the front of it, then from the tone of the moan he knew that it belonged to Ginny.

Hermione's voice came from near the door and she sounded peeved, "Today was my day to kiss him first, move over a bit."

There was a bit of pushing and shoving, was that was another one from the other side forcing its way into his mouth, mind you he wasn't complaining, so his right hand started seeking out the partner of his mouth's newest visitor.

From somewhere Ginny said, "Anyway I haven't kissed him, I know that it's your turn first. Ask him."

A hand caught his that was floundering around and directed it down between her legs and Hermione said, "Harry doesn't talk with his mouth full, he's not like Ron wh… Ohhmmmmmm…"

"What's he doing to you," Ginny asked in a panic, "I want some of t…Ahhhooooomm…"

Fifteen minutes later the girls were back in their own room having a quick shower and getting dressed for the day and Hermione asked, "Do you think that we should start giving him something in return?"

"When's his Birthday?"

"Four days sis." Hermione answered.

"Too long, how about tonight? We've read all about it sis."

"Well it will be early to bed then." Was Hermione's quiet reply as they were going down stairs.

Tonks arrived just after they had started eating their breakfast and it was just as well that she was hungry as well so they could all eat a full breakfast properly.

She said, "Remus is already at Hogwarts he went straight there, he said something about making the room ready himself today. Did any of you tell him how?"

Two of them were shaking their head's and with a grin Ginny said, "Well I don't know how to do, 'it'."

Hermione added with a small smile, "And Harry is much better at, 'it' than I am."

Ginny now had a cheekier grin, "I don't know sis, you would be very good at, 'it' if you tried."

Tonks had noticed the emphasis on 'it' and said, "Well, 'it' will keep you out of any Hetaerae and that will come before any wedding, so watch out for, 'it'."

Ginny asked forlornly, "How old must I be before I can do, 'it'? I want to join the Hetaerae but am I old enough?"

It was about this time that Harry realised just what 'it' was and started taking more notice.

The Auror was in a quandary, she had been asked a direct question by Ginny with Hermione sat there listening, if she hedged her answer the Bookworm would be straight into the library so she told the truth, if necessary she would have to justify it to Molly later.

So she said, "If they can avoid it mothers don't like to tell their daughters that provided the age difference isn't more than a couple of years then in the wizard world it is perfectly acceptable for them to have sex when they are fourteen. However Ginny Weasley, if I start getting complaints from the mothers of twelve-year-old boys that you have been trying to have your wicked way with, then I will take a very dim view of it."

The trio laughed and still with a big smile Ginny said, "Thank goodness for that, I had visions of being in Harry's Hetaerae and not getting my ration of, 'it' for a year."

Harry explained what Remus would have to do to make a room of requirement and then Tonks said, "Come on, we had better go and save Remus from himself."

Once again after collecting their wands they went into Harry's room and took their Portkey to Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall and Remus were sat dejectedly in comfortable chairs about twenty feet from where the quartet had arrived.

Tonks adopted her most innocent expression and said, "What appears to be the problem Remy baby?"

There was a sulky silence for about a minute and then Professor McGonagall said, "I believe that the problem is that we don't have a clue what we should do or where we should be doing it."

Once more there was that 'it' word again and with a cheeky grin Tonks said, "Well Ginny said that Hermione could do 'it' very well if she tried, so would you try to make a room for 'it' please Hermione?"

One thing that Hermione wasn't, was slow and so she walked back to where she needed to be and walking back and forth three times she created a room for 'it'. She came back to the others, taking one of Harry's hands Ginny took the other and they led him into the room she had created without closing the door behind them.

A minute later the other three arrived to find the first three standing in the middle of the room looking innocent, Remus looked at the quasi bordello horrified, Tonks was trying hard not to laugh and the Professor said, "So what is this?"

"Well Mini," said Tonks, in her most persuasive voice, "we were talking about 'it' over breakfast and how you mustn't do 'it' if you wanted to join a Hetaerae. Then you said that you didn't know where we should be doing 'it'," a small smile was creeping across Minerva's face, "and I asked Hermione to make a room for 'it' and I recon that this is just about perfect for 'it'. Don't you?"

The Deputy Headmistress was smiling properly now and said, "The muslin drapes fine, lots of large satin cushions excellent, silk sheets wonderful but don't you think that the bed is just a tad excessive? It must be at least twelve foot across."

Hermione smiled and said, "Well in creating a bed for 'it' my logic was quite simple, if Harry has a Hetaerae of say six, then with him being on there as well the bed would be a perfect fit for 'it' and I asked for the bed to be four metres across, that's just over thirteen foot."

Minerva was still smiling as she said, "Since you explain 'it' that way I can quite see the point of 'it' so yes 'it' is excellent and actually there are plenty of things around for us to practice advanced transfiguration with."

Every thing was fine until just before twelve when the Headmaster arrived, he laughed when he saw the room and spoke into the corridor, "You will like this room today Amelia."

She too laughed as she came in and said huskily, "Hello Green Eyes I hope that you don't mind but because it is Sunday I have brought my niece and her cousin with me?"

Susan was halfway through the door laughing at the room and trying to get her cousin to come in, Hermione said quietly, "Harry go and ask Daphne to come in, she's probably shy."

Harry went over to the door and said, "Hi Susan."

"Hi Harry are you having a good summer?" She gave him a big smile and indicated out of the door with her head.

"Hi Daphne please come in there are several of us who really want to get to know you better." He went into the corridor and noticed that as Amelia had said, 'she really had become a looker', then continued quietly, "what's the problem? We're supposed to be very good with problems."

The two in the corridor didn't realise that everyone in the room had moved close to the door to listen to the first ever proper conversation between these two students.

Daphne looked at him shyly and said softly, "Well I'm in Slytherin and Gryffindors don't like Slytherins."

Harry roared with laughter, "Who on earth told you that load of old tripe Daphne, it's almost as bad as some of the things they print about me in the papers. Gryffindors don't like evil people, they don't like cruel people and they don't like bigoted people. So will you talk to Hermione Granger who is a Muggle born witch and is the top student in our year, she lives in a beautiful friendly house where I am spending my summer holiday? I know that she will want to talk to you. Will you talk to Ginny Weasley her home might look strange but it is the friendliest place I have ever been, the Weasleys are not loaded with gold but they have something far more valuable than money, they have love? I know that she will want to talk to you as well. And will you talk to me? I have no home, I could say that I have nothing but that is not true I have a lot of love from a lot of people and a lot of love to give to a lot of people if they will take it. I also have an evil megalomaniac called Voldemort who keeps trying to kill me so it could be dangerous to be around me, but we keep surviving, I know that want to get to know you do you want to get to know me?"

None of them had ever heard Harry talk this way before and now he had stopped talking, he looked at her and held out his hand, she took it then said, "Harry Potter, I will be honoured if you and your friends would talk to me."

So he led her into the room of requirements, luckily the others had realised that they were coming and moved away from the door before they came in. Actually Tonks had tripped over and landed on a pile of cushions, she had dragged Remus down with her so nobody thought that it had been entirely an accident.

Daphne looked at the room in horror, especially with Remus and Tonks on the floor, so quickly Hermione said, "We will tell you the story of the room a bit later but being as we appear to be in a bordello what fashion of dining arrangements would you like?" Daphne was looking confused, "Oh silly me," Hermione continued contritely, "You don't know about this room yet, do you? It can be anything that you want."

Harry said, "Watch this. Room we want to eat lunch in a comfortable Bedouin tent just over there."

The effect couldn't of been more dramatic, the room expanded by what appeared to be a couple of acres of sand that had a large Bedouin tent set about twenty yards into the desert. Excitedly Daphne squeezed his hand that she still hadn't let go of yet and said, "That's wonderful, I wonder how it works?"

Ginny and Harry both thought, 'another Hermione'.

Hermione said, "Let's go and take a look at what Harry has done and if we don't like it we can always change it for something else."

She took Harry's free hand and they walked across the small stretch of firmly packed sand to the tent, Harry released both girls hands and held open the flap of the tent for everyone to go in. The tent was about thirty foot across and the whole of the floor was covered with Persian rugs, in the centre of the floor was what looked like a large tablecloth, which was surrounded by a lot of very comfortable looking cushions.

The Headmaster was smiling and said, "I don't mind sitting on the floor like the Bedouin but they eat with their hands and I want at least a fork, so if we do this properly the men get to eat all of the best bits first then the women get what's left."

"Do you really have a death wish Albus?" Minerva said with a grin, "You know that custom only started to ensure that the women cooked enough food for everybody, this is Hogwarts and there will be enough. And don't you dare give me any sheep's eyeballs."

Ginny and Hermione ensured that Harry was sat between Susan and Daphne both of whom were obviously very taken with him, Ginny was next to Susan with Hermione next to Daphne. The trio immediately started to regale the new pair with the story of 'it' and the room of requirements, which produced gales of laughter from all five of them as well as Amelia and the Headmaster. Ginny even told the part that referred to the Hetaerae without producing any special reaction so obviously both of the new girls knew of the new prophecy.

When the food arrived there were no sheep's eyeballs, in fact there was nothing untoward, they all had knives, forks, plates and mugs of Butterbeer; to eat there were burgers, sausages, chicken drumsticks, bowls of salad, cheese, small steaks, big wedges of bread and platters of butter. It was perfect for eating whilst sitting on the floor talking and like all good students before them, they totally ignored the salad and started eating everything else.

Susan asked quietly, "Would you tell us your real life story please Harry, there are so many contradictory things printed and written none of us know what to believe?"

Harry had half expected this question and answered, "I will tell you my life story, as I know it, if afterwards you will both tell us yours?"

Amelia interrupted, "Let me tell you a little bit first, it might help to put you at your ease. Death Eaters murdered my husband about a month before you were born, so that is when I decided to become an Auror and it soon became apparent that although I was a reasonable Auror I was excellent at administration. Susan's parents were murdered about six months later and I took her in, Daphne's parents were killed a week after Susan's and her uncle who is an Unspeakable has cared her for ever since. Needless to say, none of us has any great overriding affection for Voldemort or his followers."

As Amelia had started talking about Susan's parents Harry had put his arm around her and he did the same for Daphne when her parents were mentioned, so he finished up with one tearful girl on each shoulder.

Before Harry started telling his story he told them that he found it hard enough reading the twaddle they printed about him in the press, he normally had Hermione or Ginny read it and they would tell him if there was any of it he should bother reading. He went on to say that he had never read a book about himself and what he would tell them he either knew himself to be a fact, because he was there doing it or he had had confirmed by more than one source that he personally considered reliable.

It took about three and a half hours it transpired that everyone learned something, or a lot, that they hadn't known before, including the Headmaster and then there were the questions, which he answered in full, he had finished telling his tale with four girls cuddling him.

Afterwards the first to speak was Daphne and she said, "So you don't like Snape either."

The Headmaster didn't pick her up for not using an honorific and from the expression on his and the Deputy Headmistress's faces Snape's tenure at the school might well be drawing to a close, then he said, "Come on you five let me try and show you something of the castle which I have never seen."

As he was leading them all through the corridors Professor Dumbledore told them, "Years ago things like Hetaerae were more common place, with arrogant self indulgent wizards killing each other off there was a surplus of witches and it was the obvious thing for them to do. When the school was first built Godric Gryffindor had the accommodations I wish to offer you installed for himself and I am not at all certain that they have ever been entered by anyone since his death."

Having reached the portrait of Sir Cadogan the Headmaster said something quietly to him, the portrait answered, "Are you sure Headmaster? You know what the door might do to him if it doesn't like him."

The Headmaster turned to Harry and said, "Sir Cadogan is correct, Harry this door has been known to kill people who tried to force entry to these rooms, would you like to try to open it?"

Harry answered, "I would like to try sir and I certainly won't try to force my way in." Harry firmly believed that the castle was sentient and anyway it didn't hurt to be on the safe side.

Hermione came and told him to be careful then she gave him a kiss, she was followed by Ginny then to Harry's surprise Susan and Daphne who both looked a bit stunned and Daphne said, "Is kissing a boy always like that."

It was fairly obvious to everyone where Susan and Daphne wanted their futures to be as Ginny answered with a smile, "No I find that it's just kissing Harry that does that to a girl's toes."

"And the rest of her," muttered Susan with a glazed smile.

The portrait swung open revealing an ancient iron door, Harry placed his right hand on the door prior to touching the handle, but the door immediately seemed to reconstitute itself into bright shining gold and Harry disappeared.

As everyone started to panic Harry reappeared smiling and he said, "It is not a door and you can only pass with my permission, I have been instructed as to what form to use for each of you and when you pass through you are not to touch anything unless I give you permission. Hermione are you going to be brave and put your right hand on the door?"

Hermione was certain that Harry would never do anything to hurt her so she confidently placed her right hand on the door and Harry said, "Until rescinded."

She disappeared and then Harry did exactly the same for Ginny, Susan and Daphne.

To the others he said, "All you will have to do in future is ask the guardian and if we are in we will answer."

Then he called them up in turn simply saying 'agreed' and they all passed through the portal.

On their left was a Floo connection, in front of them were large double doors and to their right was a large portrait that had a brass plaque indicating that it was of Godric Gryffindor.

Hermione asked, "Does that mean that you are one of his descendants?"

The portrait answered, "Of course he is you all are, at one time or another there were fourteen young ladies in my Hetaerae and they each had at least three children, I think that the final tally was sixty four so by now nearly everyone will have some of me in them. Hermione is your grandmother Ida still alive, she was most disappointed because she was a squib, tell her about yourself and she knows about Harry, it will make her very happy?"

It wasn't often that Hermione was speechless, but she was also smiling.

Daphne asked, "So how was Harry able to open the portal when nobody else could?"

"Because he deserved to," answered Godric bluntly. "Now go and have a look around, for the moment only Harry can touch every thing with impunity so don't touch anything that looks like you shouldn't touch it without Harry's permission, especially in the study/library, and you are not where you think you are."

Two female House Elves, who were wearing red and gold robes, opened the double doors and another two stood just inside the door, the tallest female said, "Hello Harry my name is Pren he is Cainc, she is Impyn and she is Dalen, there is no need to introduce yourselves we know who you all are. But we have a special message for Hermione, you can see from the way we are dressed that we are free, we stay here because we want to, please don't chase us out of our happy home."

Everybody was smiling and saying hello then Harry asked, "May we look around please Pren?"

She smiled at him and said, "Of course, the first four rooms on either side are bedrooms, then the last door on the right is Harry's bedroom and on the left is the study/library, at the far end is the living room."

As Pren had been talking they had been walking up a fifteen-foot wide corridor that was at least thirty yards long, as they were progressing they were looking in the bedrooms they were passing. The bedrooms were all identical except for Harry's that was very slightly larger and Pren assured them that the colour of the rooms could be altered to suit its eventual occupant.

The Headmaster said, "Ginny and Hermione you should choose your rooms and then Susan and Daphne should provisionally book theirs if they think that they might like to join Harry."

So the four girls chose their rooms, Hermione's was next to Harry's with Daphne's next to her; Ginny's room with Susan's next door were directly opposite Hermione and Daphne's rooms.

Pren stopped them entering the study/library and said, "It is best to just look from the door until Harry has cleared it for you, that way you bookworms cannot be tempted."

Susan, Ginny and Harry were trying not to laugh at the look's on Hermione and Daphne's faces, they obviously didn't think that just looking from the door was anything like the best.

Next the ten of them moved into the living room which was enormous, the far wall was almost all glass with several sets of patio doors in it but the view of the palm trees, white sand and turquoise sea totally distracted them from the room itself.

"I have a suspicion," said Harry with a small smile, "that we are no longer in Hogwarts."

"Ten points to Gryffindor for getting that right." Professor McGonagall said with a big smile.

"When can we have our Hetaerae?" pleaded Hermione.

She was looking across the wide veranda down half a dozen steps to the beach with the sea fifty yards away.

"Some things have to be decided first," Professor Dumbledore said, "so why don't you all come and sit whilst we discuss them."

Coming away from the window Harry flopped in the middle of one of four large sofas Susan and Daphne immediately sat very close either side of him leaving enough room each end for the other two girls. Ginny and Hermione ignored the ends of the sofa and sat on the floor with their heads resting on Harry's legs, he immediately started playing with their hair.

Amelia started the discussion, "The first thing that has to happen is that the girls who wish to join have to tell Harry and he has to accept them, I believe that currently that only applies to two of you."

The two girls on the floor nodded and Daphne said, "But I thought that it was obvious that I wanted to join." Susan was vigorously nodding in agreement.

The Headmaster said, "But you have to ask him directly but remember when you do it is a wizard contract and you are bound by it until Harry gives you an answer."

Immediately but nervously Daphne said, "Harry I would be honoured if you would allow me to become a member of your Hetaerae."

Susan followed her saying, "Harry would you grant me the privilege of becoming a member of your Hetaerae."

Harry said shyly, "I was aware that you both kind of liked me and I am honoured that you should want to join me, but I am still on a promise from both of you and until that is fulfilled I couldn't possibly decide."

Everyone looked confused except Hermione who stretched up and whispered quietly in Daphne's ear.

Now smiling Daphne said, "No exciting life for me I'm afraid until today that is, you already know about my parents and me living with my uncle. So everything in my life was quiet until I came to Hogwarts, first year I argued with Malfoy five times and turned Pansy Parkinson's hair green just before Christmas holidays. When she got back on the train after Christmas her hair was still green and she asked me nicely if I could do anything about it so I did, it didn't make her a nicer person though. Second and third years I just argued with Malfoy loads of times and forth year I didn't speak to him once, so I don't even have that to offer up as an achievement. I spent last year avoiding the Death Eater spawn and Malfoy who with that evil bitch of a witch set out to make all of our lives a nightmare. I'm afraid that that is it, apart from today nothing wonderful has ever happened to me."

Ginny said, "I guess that now she has only to pass the snog test."

Looking at Daphne Harry asked, "Please may I kiss you?"

She smiled at him shyly an said quietly, "Actually that little kiss I gave you outside was the very first time I have ever kissed a boy, so if you don't mind could we go somewhere on our own for a minute or so because I definitely want to kiss you again."

Harry stood up and taking her by the hand led her out of the room saying, "We won't be long."

As they were going through the door she said, "Hopefully we will be."

Fifteen minutes later when they re-entered the room Harry said, "I hereby declare that I accept Daphne Greengrass as a provisional member of my Hetaerae."

Ginny and Hermione jumped up and both cuddled Daphne and the three of them sat back down at Harry's feet, happily resting their heads on his lap.

Susan was looking forlorn and she said, "Really you know practically everything there is to know about me."

"What about your 'knickers' spell?" Daphne asked.

"Should I tell them about that?" Daphne was nodding vigorously so Susan continued, "Last school year none of us were greatly enamoured with a certain new member of staff, so when I was looking through an old spell book I found something that I thought might be useful. It was a spell that causes the elastic in knickers to break, so every time I managed to get behind the toad woman I used it. Did you never see her running around trying to hold them up?"

The last sentence had been completely lost in the howls of laughter that went on for about five minutes.

Eventually Harry said, "You're in."

Susan looked at him then standing up and smiling she said, "Oh no! Not so fast green eyes, I have never really kissed a boy either so don't we get to go outside for a kiss first?"
