The curious incident of the trip to the Seaside.
By An Orc.
This is the sequel to Not With a Half-blood.
So frankly, it probably introduces several characters who appear in this that you need to meet first.
[AN: If you have already read Not With a Half-blood you can skip to chapter three. Chapter Two's just Not With a Half-blood chapter 18. Yeah.. it was a teaser trailer.]
If you really want to jump on in, there's a lot to explain. No, wait, there's too much to explain, I'll summarise.
Harry Potter, boy wizard, drops out of school, kills Voldemort with a stick. Well, a magic wand and a disarming charm.
Secondly, Harry finds out he was adopted by Sirius Black, so he really did get Everything Sirius had, except for that rash. Also making him Harry Potter-Black. Proud owner of Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. Which if you recall your Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, is as the real-estate industry say, an opportunity.
Also, this means Harry had three additional Aunts. One of whom he tried to use the torture curse on, one who's Narcissa Malfoy, and Andromeda Tonks.
And Aunt Narcissa was perfectly well aware of this adoption. Lucius's spies were everywhere.
The Malfoys figured he'd die before he was an adult, so Aunty Narcissa signed him up in a marriage contract to the Greengrasses, who had two daughters, one of whom fancied Draco Malfoy.
The Greengrasses figured both daughters would be safe, and one would get control of the Black fortune from Draco, who was next in the Black family succession if Harry died.
Unfortunately for the Greengrasses, Malfoys and … lots of people including Harry's distant Uncle Tom Riddle, Harry won, was an adult, and became contractually betrothed to Daphne Greengrass, slytherin student, member of the frog choir, and pure-blood heiress.
Harry didn't find out till the war and the funerals were all over.
He wants out, and there is a way. All he has to do is publicly declare Daphne Greengrass "Unacceptable." A full-page ad in the Daily Prophet is traditional. As she has NEWT qualifications, is fairly good-looking in a stuck-up aristocratic way, and is healthy, the only other reason that usually happens is untreatable curses. That declaration of unacceptability will result in her being unemployable, socially dead and lead to the Greengrasses dying out.
Harry decides to save one more person. It's not like he has to walk to his death or anything. Besides, Ginny will be understanding.
When the Ginny situation gets worse, Harry decides Aunty Narcsissa and Cousin Draco deserve a fair trial. They get prison terms without Harry raising his hand this time to protect them. (U.S. based readers, the Magical UK does not have double indemnity.)
Harry and Daphne don't get along for a long time.
Draco Malfoy dies in prison from pneumonia. Daphne's sister is very annoyed, as she's married to him. Well, nobody and a millionaire.
Harry and Daphne learn things about each other, and themselves.
Harry and Daphne get on top of the Black family business, renting out houses and building to businesses. And Daphne invents an accounting firm, using a mechanical calculator.
That snowballs into cash registers that works in galleons-sickles-and knuts then... a mechanical computer for the goblins of Gringotts. The firm is called Black Books.
Harry gets some therapy. They rennovate Grimmauld place, Harry finds out how his mother did the saving-baby-harry thing, and some romantic stuff happens.
And Harry and Daphne found the Riddle house in Little Hangleton had central heating and ensuite bathrooms, so they moved and got some staff. Human staff are cheaper than house-elves.
They get attacked, Harry does what he does best, and the Aurors come to clean up afterwards.
Ron dies in the attack, from bad luck more than anything else.
Hermione takes that poorly, and harangues Harry into going right NOW and getting the set of Hallows, and the most public non-sneaky raid on the ministry happens the day afterwards, with Ron being resurrected, and Harry leaving a conjured dummy.
Ron as own his cousin gets the Auror office death payout. Nobody knows how many Weasleys there are.
Ron takes a long time to return to consciousness after being re-born in his own body.
Inadvertently saying "Lav Lav" when he wakes, Hermione finds out about the next big adventure, but she's a bit angry to appreciate the finer details.
Ron works for George for awhile, talks to Harry about feelings and stuff, and asks to be returned to the next adventure, Harry doesn't, obviously, and Ron dies in a potions "accident" a few days later.
Oh, and Harry and Daphne's first child turned out to be twins.
Daphne had morning sickness, lots of it.
Harry raided the Chamber of secrets for treasure, and found lots of old scrolls.
Salazar Slytherin's letters. He was a grumpy git. With green eyes, like Harry and his mother, the Slytherin locket, and the door to the chamber of secrets. Nope, that wasn't the Horcrux doing it.
There are many useful medical spells.
And one for easing pregnancy. As Daphne vomited her way through the first one, she hexes Harry till he gets the pregnancy easing spell working.
It relieves all the symptoms of pregnancy, including a swelling belly.
Daphne gives birth to five small silver snakes at nearly ten months, and Harry cancels the spell, getting five children.
Harry is voluntarily sterilised at that point, by a medical professional.
Then… Mr Weasley finished fixing the car the Riddle family used to use and Harry finds out it goes really well if you use the Elder Wand on it.
They get in the habit of going to the Mediterranean for the afternoon. At Mach 2.2. Harry and the Elder wand is a dynamite combination, after all.
Then…. Well, they're off for the afternoon and the next bit happens.
Oh, Harry's and eldest daughter, Cassiopia (Caph) is a bit of a handful.
There's some prophecy about her being the destroyer of the peace between humans and centaurs, a.k.a. The palomino of peril. She's eight.
The eldest is Altair, but Caph says it's Caph.
[AN: And Honestly, if you didn't read 'Not with a Half-blood first', you're missing out.]
