Mrs. J.K., The problems Harry faces in his world, is scarily similar to the real world. Maybe that is why we like to fix it so desperately. Most of us do it for free. I am anyway.

Lucius was speechless. His master was already so powerful so that he can produce a messenger Patronus? Narcissa was shaking, that madman was coming back? Lucius knew! That is why Draco and Theo went to Durmstrang on such short notice.
Narcissa asked: "You knew he was coming back?" Lucius nodded: "Yes, you met him at the Abbots, he is possessing the Potter boy. I heard he has already followers in his year, all of them show sixth-year magic control. I have no other choice than to follow orders, he will revive with or without us. If we don't help, then life here will be worse than hell."
Narcissa sighed: "Start preparing, I will set our emergency funds back in place at our safe houses."
10 A day of Truth.
Each evening I went to the RoR, practicing my ritual and acting. My eyes need to stay red all the time, two nights before the ritual, the girls came in. Susan: "Finally! We have enough blood. Mrs. Derrick gave us nourishment potions. To recuperate she said." Daphne confirmed it: "Blood replenishing potions don't replace the blood completely. There is always a loss of nutrients. These potions will restore it. Are you ready Dear?"
"I am ready, this will turn the wizarding world upside down. A few more details and I'm done." Neville: "These bastards in Askaban or kissed would make a huge difference. I am rooting for you mate." Megan: "We all are."

Croaker bought a huge female King Cobra, more than eighteen feet long. The day before Samhain I met her in the shrieking shack: §Hello beautiful, how are you?§ The cobra raised her head: §Speaker? Why did that two legs bring me here?§
I smiled: §Tomorrow I have a task to do with people who think I am their leader, to let them think that, I need your aid. You will be rewarded of course.§ She asked: §I can demand whatever I want?§ Greedy bitch! I answered: §if it is in my power, I will grant it.§ She looked at me: §I will aid in your quest, you may call me Nadia.§ I smiled at her: §It is a beautiful name Nadia. Enter this trunk, it has a space specially made for you.§ I enlarged my trunks and let her in my apartment.

We spend the last night in the Room of requirement. One big mattress, a big fireplace and a lot of pillows. We talked, and just enjoyed each other's company, not a word about tomorrow. We fell asleep in one group.
After our morning meditation, I said goodbye to everyone. A last hug from the girls, Tonks gave me my first real kiss: "For luck Hubby, stay safe." I nodded and went down to the kitchen, opened the passage in the fireplace, and closed it behind me. In Slytherins quarters I changed into battle robes. I prepared myself, turned my eyes red, concentrated on the beacon, and popped there.
The beacon the unspeakables put in Little Hangleton made me appear a quarter-mile from the cemetery. I calmly walked to it, my magic senses on the maximum range. I stopped once, to let Nadia out, and arm myself with my main wand. I put a warming charm on Nadia and told her to wrap it around my body.
Xxxxx
Lucius was waiting for me with Narcissa. When he saw me walking to him they went down on their knees. My senses noticed four others observing me. I decided to show some power, I grabbed them with my magic, and dragged them before me, and sat them on their knees.
"You know, it is not polite to hide from me. Only dear Lucius has enough brains to welcome me. Do you think you can avoid some punishment because I am in a child's body? TEN YEARS! That is the amount of time I had to suffer! Expect some suffering too. Move out of the way so I can prepare the ritual.
I levitated them roughly out of the way, while Nadia was hissing. §I like your attitude speaker! Show them who is in command!§ Hmm? A sassy snake?
I observed the terrain, asked: "Lucius, how many will show up? Who dares to stay away?" Lucius: "Twenty-five will show, my Lord. Karakof betrayed us, Snape is still in St Mungos, Fenrir is on the continent and can't make it here on time with his pack."
Alright, I had the numbers, I took my wand out and transfigured the ground into stone. I walked into the middle, while concentrating I carved a heptagon in the stone, carefully carving the runes on each corner. One by one the death eaters apparated in. Mrs. Derrick provided a file with names and pictures of the imperioused, I added a few names like Yaxley, Macnair, and Jugson.
A few scoffed by my youthful presence, while drawing the runes I wandless dragged them before me, rubbed their noses on the stone floor, and threw them with the others, without a word. At noon everyone but the minister was present. Better late than never, both of them ported in, Lucius had the brain to lead them away from me.
Xxxxx
The props are ready, the stage is set, now to get the actors in place. I stood on the corner of the heptagon, facing the death eaters. Speech time. Voldy is a narcissist, so he needs a speech: "I would like to say hello to my loyal followers, but for TEN YEARS I did not hear or see any of you! I had to revive myself! I was fortunate a piece of my consciousness locked itself into this boy's scar. It took me TEN YEARS! To take control! Ten, Hard, Long, Years!
Now it is time you get of your lazy asses, and aid me in this binding ritual to permanently take over this body. My previous body had some rituals that did not have the desired effects, this body, as you already experienced is perfect for me."
I looked at them one by one: "You have the chance now, enter the heptagon and aid in my return, or stay out, and receive what is coming for you. Minister, Undersecretary, Today you will witness the birth of a new legend. You have a choice, in the heptagon means you are for me, outside… let us say you will stay neutral. It will also mean, no more Lucius to sponsor your activities. Make, Your, Choice, Now!"
Umbridge was first in the heptagon! The rest followed, only Fudge was in doubt. A politician does not want to bind himself to one group. Calmly I opened the trunk and took the blood of my girls. I wandlessly levitated the seven jars to their corner, Fudge saw my wandless magic and entered the heptagon.
Xxxxx
The chant started, slowly pouring the blood on the runes and the lines of the heptagon. Ten minutes into the chant the blood started glowing, creating a barrier around the heptagon. I interrupted the chant and demanded: "Raise your wand and say so mote it be. Put your magic in it! And continued my chanting. Lucius was the first to make the pledge, he glowed for a bit but was for the rest unharmed.
One by one the wands were raised and the pledge took form. For theatrics, I made myself glow red. When the last one did his pledge, I raised my wand and my gigantic basilisk Patronus came out, circling the ritual. Wandlessly I disarmed the death eaters.
Xxxxx
Aurors and unspeakables apparated in, raised anti portkey and apparition wards around the heptagon.
I greeted Aunty Amelia and Croaker: "Here is a bonus: they can't leave the heptagon unless I tell them so. As long they are in there they are forced to tell the truth for a whole day."
I addressed the death eaters: "Ladies and Gentlemen, or I should say: beasts and monsters. Thank you for helping me into power. Sadly, I am not Voldemort, he is at the moment shoveling dragon dung. You are now in a ritual circle and have sworn on your magic to tell the truth. I leave you in the capable hands of Madam Bones. Madam Bones, as an extra bonus the minister and his toad are in there too, the toad was the first to get in the heptagon." I send my Patronus to the girls to tell them it worked.
Madam Bones' smile was scary.
Xxxxx
I spotted Xenophilius with a few others, I stood next to him and said: "Hello, Lord Lovegood, how is Miss Luna? I must thank you both for that wonderful article you wrote about me. It did shake the wizarding world."
Xeno: "Heir Potter-Peverel-Black, Can you explain to me why my little Moon demanded I invite some colleges from the continent to this…?"
I smiled: "Well, Ladies and gentlemen, today you are going to witness the end of an Era. In that ritual-heptagon are the death eaters that managed to stay out of Askaban.
I tricked them into believing Voldemort possessed my body, and this ritual is to eject my spirit and give him total control. Instead, I performed a Ritual of Truth. It is an Ancient Ritual, from before the Roman invasion. Everyone in the heptagon is forced to tell the truth for a whole day."
Xeno: "I heard rumors that He Who Must Not Be Named was not completely dead, what is your opinion about that?"
I answered: "He did some nasty curses so that when he died, he stayed on this plane, a bit more solid than a ghost. I don't know how he did it, but he possessed our Dada teacher, the one who was supposed to start in September but never showed up.
The reason for that is the Goblins arrested him for trying to break into a vault. The Goblins discovered the wraith and bonded it to the professor. They also discovered a connection with my scar.
With help of the Goblin nation, the DMLE, and the department of Mysteries we came up with a plan to lure the remaining death eaters into this trap. While we are questioning the death eaters, the Goblin nation will banish Voldemort to Hell, permanently."
I am getting good with avoiding telling the complete truth but not lying either. The dicta quills from the reporters were doing overtime.
I added: "To be completely transparent, The head of the DMLE invited Aurors from the ICW to witness the questioning, and to question them if they committed crimes on the continent.
I can already say, that anyone who attempts to release these criminals will be arrested, be it a Wizengamot member or a ministry employee."
Xxxxx
The questioning took hours. The questions were simple: Did you join willingly? Did you enjoy killing? Raping? Torture? If we let you out, would you do this again? Did you train your children? How did you do your crimes?
The dicta quills were filling parchment after parchment. Fudge confessed to receiving bribes, knowing and helping Malfoy with slipping a potion to Sirius, signing orders to restrain half-bloods and muggle-born for positions in the ministry. Enough to put him a few years in Askaban.
The toad was worse, blackmail, extortion, forcing muggle-born into prostitution with a magic contact, arranging people getting killed. There were death eaters with fewer crimes than her.
Narcissa was almost innocent. She just let it happen, and healed the wounded. She regarded muggles as animals though.
Nadia had enough: §Speaker, send me back into that warm place.§ I opened my trunk and gave her a few fresh rats. She mumbled: §This is better than hunting, I am going to like it here.§
Xxxxx
As icing on the cake: the death eaters felt their mark fade away. I called Croaker: "if you go to the house of Barty Crouch, you will find his son under the imperious curse. It is possible the curse broke with the fading of the mark."
several death eaters were screaming. With the mark gone they knew he is dead for good.
Tapsy erected great grandfather Fleamont's old tent and served warm drinks and snacks for reporters and ministry workers.
While Aunty Amelia has a big job, I was socializing with the press, explaining how I became so powerful (The bogus version) and why my friends are performing sixth-year magic.
I explained: "I found some ancient family magic, magic that I could share with Allies. So the ones that are performing so well are my Allies, we also teach some to our friends in class." That will get them off our case.
Xeno: "Oh? My Luna said you were going to teach her and Ginny too." I shrugged: "She probably forgot to tell you to join our alliance. The Weasley family recently joined."
A German reporter asked: "We heard that you have been mistreated by Dumbledore, can you explain it to our readers? Many of them regard him as a hero, for killing Grindelwald."
Here is my opening: "Did he kill Grindelwald? He only ever admitted to defeating him. Grindelwald and Dumbledore were lovers, they split up when they killed Dumbledore's sister in an argument with Dumbledore's brother.
Now, ask yourself, Grindelwald was a Dark Lord in the early thirties, why did it take to forty-five to go after Gellert? Dumbledore has a phoenix and could flame right next to him. He could end the war two days after it began.
Gellert Grindelwald is still alive, probably in Nurmengard under a fidelius."
Xeno: "How do you know all this Heir Potter?" I whispered in his ear: "If you have a certain stone, belonging to the second brother, then you know." Yeah right, would he believe if I say: I read the books?
Xeno: "I will be honored to be a part of the Alliance Heir Potter-Peverel-Black…. That is why my Little Moon told me to call you that." Crap, I did not claim that Lordship, I think?
Xxxxx
I was called to release the prisoners one by one, Lucius asked: "If you were not possessed, how come you are so powerful?" I grinned: "A lot of practice Lucius, a lot of practice. Be glad your son is not a branded slave like you. Maybe there is hope for him." Narcissa: "Please Heir Black, ask Sirius to shelter my son. He has nowhere else to go."
I thought for a bit, Sirius is a big baby, with the ferret I'll be having two big babies, maybe I can drop him with the Tonks. I answered: "We will shelter him."
Fudge and the toad were the last ones, loudly protesting, claiming… they forgot they could only tell the truth. Every time they wanted to say something their jaws locked up. It was funny to hear them say a few words and choke up.
When the last one was out, the ritual ended. I made sure there was no residue left. With a wave of my hand, the stone platform changed back to earth, Tapsy left with the tent, while the reporters followed the Aurors to the ministry.
Croaker staid behind: "Maybe it is better I do not ask how you knew about Barty Jr?" I nodded: "That would be best, I don't know if you would like the answer. Can I keep Nadia? I kind of like her." Croaker said: "You may have her, Tell me, there is a rumor of large amounts of Basilisk parts being for sale. Do you happen to know something about it?" I grinned at Croaker: "Yes, I heard that rumor too. Goblins happen to like the meat very much."
Croaker sighed: "I would like to hear the complete story one day, Heir Potter. Call me whenever you want to tell it." I said: "One day." I took my trunk and popped back to school.
Xxxxx
They were all waiting in the RoR, when I popped in, everyone hug piled me, this time Daphne had the front side: "Your Patronus appeared when lunch was almost done. It was big and very loud, so everyone heard you captured all death eaters." I got a peck on my cheek and she made room for the next one. "Nev, if you are going to try and kiss me, then I'll hex you."
That broke the mood, and everyone laughed. I said: "Besides all this good news, I have some bad news too. Narcissa asked for Sirius to foster the little snot. Now, I am fostering Sirius… do you see where this is going? Narcissa is going to stay for at least a few years in Askaban.
Tracey groaned: "That prick was a pain at the Balls and gatherings, but putting up with him every day? That is going to be a nightmare."
Tonks: "I'll ask mum to foster him, I doubt Draco wants to be in the same house with Harry."
I said: "Another topic, Who knows Luna Lovegood? Well… I first met her at the trial of Sirius. She knew things that nobody would know yet, I guess she is some kind of seer.
She told her Dad, the owner of the Quibbler to invite reporters from the continent, and go to a certain graveyard… the graveyard where I did the ritual. So the whole event will be reported on in several newspapers. They witnessed the interrogations. Luna's Dad also told me, Luna and Ginny will learn our kind of magic too. So is she a seer?"
Susan: "She probably is one. Ginny is part of the Alliance, so she would learn it anyway. What about her brothers? There are a lot of them. We are now with nine people that do Harry's kind of magic, what about Hannah's and Tracey's siblings? Their fiancees?"
Neville interrupted: "Susan, you forget that for that magic to work, Harry has to connect the wand to the wizard. They do have to find their magic on their own. We are very lucky to have Harry guiding us, or it would take many years to get some results."
Megan agreed: "It is not only connecting, but also having the perfect wand to find your magic. Look at the difference between Tonks and me. I needed more than twenty minutes, Tonks only a few. That was with Harry guiding us."
Tracey snickered: "And everyone he guided wants to marry him, except Neville, Susan, and Hannah."
I sighed: "Thank Merlin for that! Neville having a crush on me would be a bit strange. I am glad the Potter and Black positions are already filled."
Daphne teased: "What? You don't want Astoria? She developed a huge crush on you. Her letters are fifty percent Harry did and Harry said." Oh? Daphne is teasing me? Let's tease back: "Dear, do you want Astoria as a sister wife? In the same bed as You and Tracey? What are the children going to call each other? Brother or cousin?"
Tonks butted in: "Not only with Daphne and Tracey Hubby, but it is also with Megan and me. And most of all, they will call each other brother and sister." I grumbled: "I need a bigger bed."
Neville said: "There is more Harry, Right of conquest. We all brought roosters to the Basilisk so the claim of the kill is equally divided. You are the cause of the destruction of Voldemort. He claimed to be the Heir of Slytherin. You can claim the Lordship too if you want."
I scoffed: "Hold on Neville, a Lordship more? More wives? Do you want a title? I bet Pansy and Milli would jump for the occasion."
Hannah: "Yes Neville, do you want another title?" Neville swallowed: "Hannah, you know that you and Sue are the only ones for me." Susan grinned: "Smart answer honey. Let Harry choke in females. Astoria will not give up, Ginny is starstruck for him, and I bet Luna is going to join the pack."
I protested: "Hey! What do you think I am? Seven wives? Do you think I am superman?" Tonks laughed: "Don't worry hubby, you saw in the shower that we can keep ourselves occupied."
I groaned: "Tonks! We are firsties!"
Tonks shrugged: "Those firsties didn't look away, neither did you and Neville Hubby. I bet you learned a lot." Man, those are going to be long four years. Especially with Tonks having mature needs.
I changed the subject: "Well. We have the weekend ahead, do we have plans? Is it a Hogsmeade weekend? We can go there if you want, there are several ways to get there."
Hannah: "You mean through the shrieking shack? Won't the villagers report us? It is obvious we are firsties."
Neville: "Not if we say we have an Alliance meeting in the Three Broomsticks. All we have to do is rent a room and have a meeting for an hour. We even don't need the adults for it. We are all Heirs of important families."
Tonks was enthusiastic: "Neville! You genius! It is even a very important meeting, we need two days at least to complete the meeting."
I chuckled: "I'll do the reservations." I concentrated and send a Patronus to Madam Rosmerta. I said: "I reserved a room Saturday and Sunday from twelve-thirty to two o'clock. We can have dinner there too. Is that alright?"
Megan: "Harry? The Weasleys are part of the Alliance too, you need to invite them. Maybe even Astoria, Ginny, and Luna?" Tonks hugged Megan: "My kind of girl! We are going to have so much fun! Harry! Teach us to do a Patronus!"
Alright, let's see if they get it, I read a lot of the fan-fics, some must be right: "OK, concentrate on a memory, a memory, that when you think of it, it will fill you up with a positive emotion. Love for your parents or family, a happy memory of an event, the feeling for a friend. The hug from your mother, such things. When you are filled with that emotion, just point your wand forwards and spell Expecto Patronum, and push your emotion through the wand." I conjured a Patronus and let it circle the room.
Neville was the first to succeed, he had a grizzly Patronus, a big scary one, Hannah and Susan were meant for Neville, Susan was a brown bear, Hannah was a polar bear. They only need Goldylocks and a house in the woods.
Daphne and Tracey had wolves, Tonks a horse, and Megan an owl. They were disappointed with the different animals. I comforted them: "Don't worry, I can change my Patronus." I concentrated and conjured a wolf, a horse, and an owl. Perfect matches for the girl's patronusses.
I said: "Now concentrate on a message, then on your Patronus and the need to send a person the message." I sent a message to Tonks: "Hey sexy Tonks, we are going to have fun this weekend."
Daphne almost succeeded: "Harry, I need to think of something, ah Harry, you are the best! Is this going to work? Let us try it." I laughed: "Very good first try Dear, but focus on the message, not on your thoughts. First, formulate the message, then think of the message and Patronus. For example, invite Astoria for dinner at the Three Broomsticks."
Soon all kinds of messages were flying across Britain.
I send a Platypus Patronus to Luna: "Dear miss Luna, maybe you already know, but can I invite you to dinner in the Three Broomsticks with us, the children of the Alliance, at twelve-thirty tomorrow. You may call on Tapsy, my head elf for transportation to the location. You will be happy to know that Ginny is saved."
To Ginny, I had to impress the parents, so a big ass dragon: "Miss Ginny, The children of the Alliance will have a gathering tomorrow at the Three Broomsticks, Astoria and Luna are also invited, your brothers as well. Call on Minny, my house elf for transportation. I hope your parents will understand, it is for us all to get to know each other better."
Xxxxx
When we went to bed, I whispered to Tonks I had a surprise for her in an half hour. A half-hour later I popped invisible beside Tonks bed. I silenced the area and got on the bed. I dropped the invisibility and smiled at Tonks: "Hello my lovely wife, I came to collect my goodnight kiss."
Tonks: "How in Morgana's name did you get here? The corridors are spelled against boys." I smiled: "Honey, I have many talents, I still need work on my kisses though, maybe you can teach me?"
Well… it was a good snogging session. Six years of age difference gives different needs. So I am meeting her halfway. I left with: "Let me know when you need another good night kiss, honey." She whispered: "You can bet that I'll let you know." I canceled the silencing and popped on my bed.
Xxxxx
The next morning at breakfast, I sat next to the Twins: "Twin one, tell Twin two he is invited at the Three Broomsticks at twelve-thirty with the children of the Alliance. Tell him to bring his other Twin along. Ronald, you are coming with us, later we gather at nine-thirty at the front door. Percy? You are invited too, if you have a date, bring her along. It is an informal dinner meeting with the children of the Alliance. We have several points to discuss.
Ron asked: "Is this going to be a boring meeting?" T One slapped the back of his head: "Think! Dense brother, Hogsmeade," T two: "Three Broomsticks!" T One: "Dinner!" The light went on upstairs: "I love to come, Heir Potter, We have several items to discuss!"
I grinned: "There is hope, after all, see you guys later."
Daphne joked: "Working on the Alliance Dear?" I gave her a one-arm hug: "You know that you girls will always be the most important to me." They blushed a nice color of red. I scored points with that answer.
At nine-thirty we gathered at the front door. I asked: "We can go through the shack, a secret tunnel, or the Harry Potter way." Tonks: "The Harry Potter way! I bet it is the fastest."
I grinned: "OK, everyone, grab a part of me, Tonks, not my ass. Alright? Ready?" I popped them outside the wards, on the road to Hogsmeade. Tonks yelled: "That should be impossible! You can't apparate in Hogwarts!… You did that yesterday too!"
I gathered my thoughts: "Well, we are outside, everyone is free until noon to do whatever you want. If someone stops you or asks what we are doing here, we have an important Alliance meeting at noon."
Hannah and Susan hooked their arms with Neville and dragged him away. Tonks said: "I have a meeting with some sixth-years Puffs." She grinned at me and left. Daphne and Tracey glanced at each other with a look of understanding.
We lost Ron at Zonco's, the four of us started shopping, school materials, clothing, bloody Hufflepuff boxers, you know, to get into the House spirit. They even sold T-shirts with PUFF! And proud of it! On. Of course, they are mine now. In the bookstore, the new Harry Potter was released: Harry Potter and the Coven. Even with me loudly protesting, they bought one each, and one for Ginny, Luna, and Astoria.
Xxxxx
Hurrah for extension charms! We totaled on seventeen people. Ginny was brought by Molly, she was reassured by Percy and me. I said: "She will be with us the whole time Mrs. Weasley, her brothers will keep an eye on her." She went home, regretting that the kids grew up to fast.
Tapsy popped Luna in: "Hello lord Peverell. Thank you for inviting me. I was almost going to give up and marry Rolf Scamander. My chances are getting better. Hello Astoria, what House do you prefer? Peverell or Slytherin? I think you have the first choice on that."
Daphne whispered to me: "Now I understand what you said before. Explain Peverell? Slytherin is logical, but Peverell?" With a dreamy voice, Luna whispered back: "I can explain Lady Greengrass-Potter, the Tale of the Three Brothers of Beadle the Bard is a true one. Your husband to be is the Master."
Astoria: "I think I prefer Slytherin, Luna. Does that mean Ginny gets Peverell?"
I interrupted: "Not now. After at least six years." Who's idea was it to invite Luna?
Luna smiled at me: "It could be worse Lord Peverell. The Vassal pledge disappeared with the Mark of Voldemort. You would be Lord of five more Houses."
I diverted the attention to the menu: "Alright everyone, let's order, and have the meeting after our meal." They have dishes in stasis charms because we only had to wait a minute for our food. Magic is cool!
Percy was dating Penelope Clearwater and brought her along. She was a pretty half-blood Ravenclaw. When our meal was over, Daphne took the lead: "Welcome to the first half of our meeting, the second half we will do tomorrow." That got everyone a smile on their face. She continued: "We start with our new additions, The Weasleys. Due to the mess, Dumbledore left us, Lord and lady Weasley decided to join our Alliance. I am certain, miss Clearwater, that anything discussed here, won't find his way into the gossip columns?" Penelope nodded.
Daphne: "Dumbledore was funding the education of the Weasley family with Potter Money. This was without knowledge of the Weasleys, they thought it was from Dumbledore's personal vault. Harry proposed to fund a student loan, that the student can repay when they graduate, without interest.
The joining in the Alliance erased the interest. This means only from this year forth does the student loans begin. We provide the tuition, books, and school materials, like robes and such.
Percy, the biggest change is on you. Your father will, or already has, proposed that you take the Prewitt Lordship. Charley refused it and you are next in line."
The brothers were speechless. Those were some serious revelations. Tracey took over: "Percy, my father offers you an internship during the holidays, he is preparing my brother Lance to take over, you can join him in the lessons."
I said: "Twin One and Two, Lord Black is offering a sponsorship, and if your grades are good enough offers you a chance to open a joke shop. Ron, You are a quidditch fanatic, if your grades are good enough, I will sponsor you with a good broom, I have one I barely use and will be better in your hands. Maybe I can get you a summer job at the Cannons.
Ginny, You can be who, or whatever you want to be. If you want a carrier at the Harpies, just train hard and it will happen. You fly ten times better than me anyway.
Luna, please don't reveal too much of the future, it kinds of ruins the fun. Only when you think it is needed. Have you said to Lord Lovegood to join the Alliance? Or does Lord Abbot or Dowager Longbottom have to ask it first?"
Luna smiled: "Only if it is important Lord Slytherin. Dowager Longbottom will ask Daddy tomorrow if Heir Longbottom write a letter this afternoon. He will accept of course. You have to write to your regent to prepare the contracts though. Your actions yesterday scared a lot of people. We have to be secured in a contract."
I think it is hard to be Luna, seeing different futures, intervene, and it could be worse, do nothing and you have a shitty life. Anyway, Percy was talking to Tracey about the details, Penelope was happy to have a lord on the hook, Ron was in quidditch heaven, the Twins were already planning their shop.
Daphne said: "I think we need another trip to Mrs. Wilson Dear, or Olivander, but he is closed on Sunday."
I called out: "Weasleys! Your wands need replacement. I will give two options, Mrs. Wilson or Olivander. Ron has no doubt explained how his wand got selected, he has a perfect match, yours, however… not. This is just a part of your school equipment, part of the scholarship. Ollivander's wands range from seven to twenty galleons, Mrs. Wilson's from hundred twenty to hundred fifty.
T One: "Olivanders for us" T Two: "Harrikins." Percy: "Is the quality of Mrs. Wilson so much better?" Tracey answered: "Lance said so. But it is Harry that connects the wand to the wizard that makes it more powerful. Harry, demonstrate with Miss Penelope please."
After my explanation, Penelope handed me her wand and offered her hand. I said: "Concentrate real hard on doing magic, and try to force it through your hand." I matched the resonance of the wand with Penelope and connected the wand to her. She was glowing brightly.
I commented: "You need to adjust to your wand now, your spells will be more powerful, so get control first." I doubt she heard a word I said.
Daphne: "I never get tired to see that." Penelope came back to her senses: "Heir Potter, this is a complete new wand! It is like a part of me now! Percy, I think a wand from Mrs. Wilson will be a great investment for the future. If Heir Potter can do this with a wand from Olivander, one from Mrs. Wilson will get you through your Owls with an O+ in all wand courses. I know I will now."
Ron: "I like this wand. McGonagall and Flitwick are always complimenting me for getting the spells so fast."
"Alright, I pop with the twins to Diagon Alley, we will be back in ten minutes. We go to Mrs. Wilson tomorrow. Daphne, can you make an appointment? And leave this corner open please or we pop on your heads… that came out wrong. T One and Two grab my arms."
Xxxxx
We popped right in front of the shop. We entered, I grabbed T One and asked him to think of magic. I summoned the strongest match and connected it to him. The same happened with T Two. I turned to Olivander and said: "We take these two wands and two wand holsters. Make it fast because we are playing hooky." He said: "that will be fifty-five galleons Heir Potter, are you certain you don't want a wand from here?"
I grinned: "Nah I'm good." I paid and we left. Out the door, they grabbed my arms and we popped away, right in the sight of the old man.
We appeared in the corner, T One and Two were still looking dazed at their new wand: "Percy, ten times better than the old wand." I remarked: "I think he forgot to put a trace on them."
On the other side of the table, Astoria was showing off, lifting papers, and moving a marble. Luna and Ginny were eager to learn that.
Megan had Ron trying to find his magic: "Ron, this is totally worth the effort. Once you find it, start to circulate it through your body and brain, and you will notice you will have better memory and you become smarter." I added: "In other words, you don't have to study so hard for the same results. I only have to read a book once, and I can remember every word. How hard do you have to study to memorize a complete book?" yep, appeal on his lazy side.
We broke the meeting up and had fun in the village. The three juniors stayed with us. At the end of the afternoon, we let the elves pop them back home.
Xxxxx
Kitty was waiting for us: "Mr. Potter! You left the school grounds with your friends unauthorized. That will be detention for all first-years that went with you."
Neville interrupted: "Headmistress, We left the school grounds for an important meeting of the Alliance, as is permitted in the rules. Heirs and associates are permitted to leave the school grounds on the weekend for important meetings. An Alliance meeting is important! Headmistress. Do I have to ask Dowager Longbottom, or Madam Bones, the Head of the DMLE to tell you that?
For your information, we did not finish our meeting and will meet again tomorrow. Any detention for that will be challenged before the board of governors. Good evening Headmistress."
Hannah and Susan were glowing with pride! Their grizzly roared in kitty's face. I smiled at McGonagall, pointed at Neville: "What he said." and walked inside with the group.
The rest of the evening Hannah and Susan were stuck like glue to Neville. I pretended to wipe a tear and said: "Ah! Young love, I am so proud. They grow up so fast…"
Hannah glared at me: "There is no reason to be jealous Harry, in case you didn't notice, those four are just as smitten with you as we are with our bear. So hush, and pay attention to your own girls." Auw… the Badger is showing her fangs.
Tonks smacked the back of my head, and told me: "She is right, pay attention to us hubby, or do you need more women?" I grinned at Tonks: "That reminds me, I need to introduce you to another girl of mine." Under the glaring eyes of four girls, I enlarged my trunk and took Nadia out: §Nadia, can I present the rest of my family? They will aid you in feeding and keeping you warm.§ Nadia observed them and said: §They will serve me well, speaker, it looks that you trained them well.§
Yeah, let's not translate that: "My lovely girls, This here is Nadia, my King Cobra, just like me, we like to eat snakes for dinner. She helped me in convincing the death eaters that I was possessed by Voldemort. As a reward, she gets the royal treatment. Basically, it means food and warmth."
An eighteen feet long King Cobra is an impressive sight, slowly the girls came closer, Megan was the bravest and started petting Nadia's head. She remarked: "Not slimy at all. Hello Nadia, welcome to the family.
