A frying pan did it

A brother of the Old Guy died and chose the wrong option. He ends up as five-year-old Harry. Watch him deal with the bad guys. This story can't be taken seriously. My favorite targets are Snape and Dumbo, so don't cry if I bash them. When he gets older there will be some girls. so Harry/multi to be safe...

11. Chapter 11

"Disclaimer:

Mrs. J.K., I doubt you have the time to read this, I'll bet you are busy spending all your money. I am not jealous though… maybe a little, I am just an amateur, bumbling along, for free.

Previous:

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 us 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 into the family."

11 Contracts…

Nadia was happy with the attention: §So many servants! You spoil me, speaker.§ She left my hands and wrapped herself around Megan, rubbing her head against her cheek. Everyone was surprised with that show of affection, Megan was surrounded by the girls who were petting Nadia: §That is right! I am the Queen! Worship me, my servants!§

Neville: "I have to write Gran to let her invite Lord Lovegood in the Alliance. Don't forget the contracts. I have to formulate my letters to Lord Abbot and Madam Bones."

I said: "Nev, can I see the letters? I need an example for the girls too." We left Nadia with the girls and worked on the letters. I asked Neville: "If we invite the parents tomorrow, won't it be easier to explain it in person?"

Neville shook his head: "No Harry, you can't drop such a thing on them. They have to be noticed before the meeting, so they can prepare their response. It is good manners to do so."

Well… I gave it my best shot:

Dear Lord (Insert name here)

As it is already mentioned in the Alliance, The girls need to be protected against aggressive suitors and pushy Pure-blood families. We did not act on it because of the illegal contract Dumbledore set up with Miss Weasley. Now that House Weasley joined the Alliance, we can start protecting them.

You all agreed that it is needed, the magic the girls are producing now is gaining in power and finesse. After Yule, I am certain they will begin practicing wandless magic.

To protect them, I suggest marriage contracts. Like some already mentioned it to me. Contracts with an option to cancel it on the girl's sixteenth birthday, after she is checked for spells, potions, and blackmail.

Miss Abbot and Miss Bones are attracted to Heir Longbottom,

The other girls asked to be contracted to me.

Miss Tracey Davis as Lady Potter.

Miss Daphne Greengrass as Consort Potter, with a line continue for House Greengrass.

Miss Nymphadora as Lady Black

Miss Megan Jones as Consort Black, I hope we ask House Jones to join the Alliance.

It came to my attention that I have a claim on two other Houses, House Slytherin, and House Peverell. As you may already know, House Weasley recently joined us, and House Lovegood will follow one of these days.

Both their daughters need protection too because I will teach them my magic, as I will do with all children of the Alliance. Miss Astoria Greengrass is already progressing with wandless magic after only three months of practice.

I can offer those three girls a contract too for their protection.

Miss Astoria Greengrass showed interest in House Slytherin.

Miss Ginny Weasley will be offered House Peverell.

Miss Luna Lovegood wants to be Consort Peverell with a line continue for House Lovegood.

Again, these contracts can be canceled at age sixteen.

If the girls fall in love with a boy, I certainly will not stand in the way, my only thoughts are the girl's safety and happiness.

We have a Children of the Alliance meeting this Sunday at the Three Broomsticks at twelve-thirty, where this can be discussed.

This is an invitation to discuss it with us, feel free to contact Lord Abbot, my Regent, to talk it over.

I admit, it is short notice, but a seer urged me to hurry. My actions on Samhain scared a lot of people.

We hope to meet you soon

Yours truly,

Harry James Potter. Heir of Houses Potter-Peverel-Black-Slytherin.

Boy, I hope this is posh enough. I showed my letter to Neville, he commented: "Acceptable. Very rough around the edges, but they know you are muggle raised and will forgive bad form… for now. Next year they will expect the works."

Daphne and Tracey, also approved the letter, both trained in pure-blood customs, confirming Neville's opinion of the letter.

Tonks remarked: "You realize that falling in love with another boy will be next to impossible, do you? You are scary powerful, have legendary Lordships, and you treat us like princesses. Neville is the same. Those other blokes have no chance at all."

I grumbled: "So I need to act like an asshole?" Tracey slapped the back of my head: "Bloody hell no! Just be happy for us Dear."

Neville's elf delivered the letters, maybe I claim the Slytherin Lordship, then Tapsy can pop in the castle too.

That night, we noticed that Justin Finch-Fletchley moved out to the other boy's room. Neville: "Do you think we neglected them too much? That Samhain ritual absorbed all our attention." I shrugged: "We will make it up with them, but we can't please them all Nev. Now with the Alliance, we are already spread thin as it is. Now he has friends to talk to at night."

A half-hour later a Horse Patronus whispered in my ear: "Hubby, where is my Goodnight kiss?"

Sunday at breakfast the owls came in with the Newspapers. The Daily Rag headlined: Ministry arrested twenty-five death eaters in a monster raid! Along with Minister Fudge and Undersecretary Umbridge!

What followed was a list of names and the crimes they confessed to. The reporter commented: These confessions were taken in a controlled environment that prevented lying. These confessions were witnessed by the Aurors of the ICW and several international reporters. Reports on the death eaters on page 2, reports on the raid on page 5, Comments from Madam Bones on page 6.

Neville remarked: "There are a lot of death eaters that have children in Hogwarts." I answered: "The actions of the parents can not be placed on the children, only when those children act the same as the parents. So we wait and see."

Daphne said: "A lot of people here will look at you Dear, that Patronus on Samhain was too big and loud to ignore. That is why Luna said to hurry with the contracts."

McGonagall approached me: "Mr. Potter, did your absence at Samhain had anything to do with the events described herein the paper?" I answered: "Headmistress, you better address those questions to Madam Bones, it seems she led the whole action. I am certain Dumbledore will hear it soon enough, there is no need to speed things up. You know the saying: curiosity killed the cat."

McGonagall fumed: "What is that supposed to mean Mr. Potter? Is that a treat?" I looked at her: "It means that you have to stop spying for that old bastard Headmistress. Your focus should be on the welfare of the children, not the tantrums of a senile busybody. You can give him a message though. It is from Ariana: "Alby, you killed me with Gellert, and did not pay for your crimes at all. Mum and dad are not happy."

That will rattle his old bones. And he will suspect I got all three Hallows… Tadaa! Here is the Master of Death! Bow if you must, it is not required, but we will take names of the ones who don't. Will he back off or increase his efforts?

McGonagall retreated to her table. All teachers were devouring the newspaper for every scrap of detail.

The owls with the Quibbler came in too. In it is a complete report of the questioning and a description of the Ritual of Truth:

Heir Potter, in a show of strength and cunning, lured all death eaters that got away with the Imperius excuse. He pretended to be possessed by a wraith of You Know Who, who needed a ritual to take over Heir Potters body.

Dear readers, Heir Potter's Magic is legendary! He showed magic so strong that the death eaters did not even doubt for a second that this was not Heir Potter's doing.

The Ritual of Truth Heir Potter performed is an Ancient one. Heir Potter explained: "Before the Roman invasion, the elders of the villages were selected with this Ritual. It forces them to tell the truth for a whole day, on that day they are interrogated by the villagers about their intentions. I feel that this Ritual would come in handy today if you read the crimes our minister and his undersecretary committed."

To our shame, I have to admit he has a point. Madam Bones, the Head of the DMLE stated: "The Ritual Heir Potter performed is banned, as all rituals, three hundred years ago. We allowed him to do the Ritual under our supervision, with the blessing from the ICW. The crimes of the death eaters are too grave to warrant it. The crimes they confessed are horrible and will be judged on their trials. Nobody will avoid a trial! Everyone that tries to intervene will be arrested and questioned with Veritaserum."

We can only guess how much the criminal actions of our minister and his undersecretary has damaged our community.

I asked Neville: "What do you think? Will Kitty come here to talk again?" Neville shook his head while laughing: "Not after that slap you gave her."

We gathered again at nine-thirty, everyone grabbed a piece of me, and we popped on the road to Hogsmeade. We split up, Ron was of to Zonco's, Tonks again buttering some sixth-year Puffs, and Neville dragged his girls away, the grizzly got an attitude. Hannah and Susan were happy with it though. That left me with Daphne, Tracey, and Megan.

At the clothing shop I designed my own text on my T-shirts, I started with: I kissed a Puff and I liked it! The next one was a bummer: Hit me Puffy one more time! Daphne asked: "Why do you want to be slapped?" Tracey agreed: "Yeah, come here and I smack you around for a bit." I complained: "Hey it is an expression from the other side of the pond!" Everyone is a critic.

I tried: To Puff or Not to Puff. That is not a question! Nah to long. Another one was better: Go for the Puff experience! And: Puff... I am your Father! Or: Puff, or Puff not! There is no try!

They dragged me away before I embarrassed Hufflepuff more. I had so much more slogans in my head… I'll come back alone.

The meeting room was extended to the maximum. Every parent was present with the other kids, young and old. Percy introduced Penny to his Parents, Astoria showed her wandless to everyone that asked, especially the Weasleys, Jones, and Lovegood's.

Lord Abbot started the talks: "As we all could read in the newspapers, the focus will be on our Alliance for a long time. Every parent with a daughter will know the pressure pure-blood families can put on you for marrying your girl off to them, mostly with a horrible contract.

Heir Potter and Longbottom are willing to sign marriage contracts with our daughters, to protect them, I have a few samples of the contract so we can review it. The conditions stated in this contract are satisfactory for me to sign my Hannah to Heir Longbottom."

The contracts got around every family, Lord Jones asked: "Does this require to join the Alliance?" Dowager Longbottom answered: "Not at all. Your Megan is a long-term friend with Hannah, Susan, Daphne, and Tracey. And she got absorbed in the group. Joining is optional. As is stated in the contract, she can always break it if she wants to.

Arthur Weasley asked: "What will happen when she wants to get married to Heir Potter? To see the contract through?

Lord Greengrass answered: "They have six years to get to know each other at school. They will know if both are compatible with each other. I want a clause though, that if they have mutually consented to intercourse, the contract will be binding. And no intercourse before fifteen years old."
Hannah objected: "No! Fourteen years! Fifteen is too long!" She slapped her hands before her mouth when her dad glared at her. Daphne and Tracey came to the rescue: "We want it at fourteen too. A lot of girls are married off at that age."

Theodore Tonks smiled: "Alright if Heir Potter reaches fourteen then." He grinned: "I looked into it. His birthday is in August, all of yours in September till December, that makes you all almost a year older than Heir Potter." A bummer, the years are divided in September, so the girls are all older than me…
Lord Davis: "I can live with that."

Sirius commented: "First before signing, ask the girls if this is something they want. This is a huge step they are taking." Luna: "Don't worry Stubby Boardman, we all want it. But thank you for worrying about us. Daddy will be signing the contract for me."
All girls smiled and nodded.

Twenty minutes later the contracts were signed and filed at the ministry and Gringotts. We had a nice meal, Daphne reminded me of the appointment with Mrs. Wilson. I said to Mr. Weasley: "We have to go buy new wands for Percy and Ginny, Megan gets one too, so is Luna. It will take only twenty minutes. The money for the wand is included in the scholarship, in the case of Ginny, it will be in the bride's price.
We popped into the shop, the parents came along, amazed that I could take so many with me. Mrs. Wilson welcomed us: "Heir Potter! I am always happy to see you! You brought new customers?" I smiled at her: Good day Mrs. Wilson, we are here for new wands yes, can I start?" She nodded eagerly.

I started with Megan, she handed her old one to her dad and grabbed my hand. I concentrated, two opposites. I whispered in her ear: "a gentle or a wild one?" she whispered back: "Wild please." I summoned the wand and connected it to Megan. The light show was impressive as always. She sighed: "Much better than the old one daddy."

Percy was next, I told him: "The same as with Megan, Percy, remove your old wand, and give your hand. Now think of doing magic real hard and push it through your hand… only one very strong connection." I pulled the wand and did the connection. Lord Prewitt found his wand.
Ginny was next, she choose an aggressive one. Luna took a gentle wand.

With the wand holsters, it came on six hundred galleons. I asked Mrs. Wilson what she would give for some heartstrings of a basilisk or a fang. Mrs. Wilson said: "That depends on the quality Heir Potter. The older are stronger and give better results." I smiled: "Then you are in luck, a thousand years, give or take a century." I parted with ten heartstrings, enough for twenty wands, we walked out with free wands.

Xeno asked: "Heir Potter? How did you get the heartstrings from a thousand-year-old Basilisk?" I shrugged: "We killed one a few weeks ago, I held some things as my part in the spoils." Mr. Weasley shouted: "You killed a Basilisk? A thousand-year-old one?" I looked around and said: "Maybe we better pop back before everyone in London hears you?" We popped back into the meeting room.

Arthur let loose: "Harry killed a Basilisk! A thousand-year-old one!" Lord Greengrass nodded: "Yes we know, Jacob and I are selling the parts. We all saw the memory. Theodore sold the rights to view the memory to Gringotts. They are drooling over the meat."

I was surprised Molly was so silent, maybe her worldview crashed with Dumbledore's betrayal, along with the emotional roller coaster of being knutless, not being able to afford to send the kids to school. To be saved by the very person that was wronged by their actions. Anyway, I call it an improvement.
Lord Abbot: "Now that we all are here, we can make some arrangements. Jacob? Did you want to take Percy as an intern? Do you want to start at Yule? Lord Davis nodded: "That is best if Arthur agrees."

The meeting dragged on, Ron slipped away with the older kids. Sirius was having a blast with the Twins, I approached Andromeda to foster the ferret. Meh, he is young enough to change, if not? I'll chuck him in another dimension. Maybe in Westeros as Joffrey… Is there a fan-fic about that? It would be a nightmare for Westeros. I'll put him in there moments before he drinks the poison... We can only dream… no dammed! I can do that! Hah! Annoy me, and you can freeze your ass of beyond the wall.

Andromeda agreed to foster the boy on the condition he goes to Hogwarts after Yule… Westeros is still an option.
I took the three juniors aside: "Now that you have felt your wand, you can identify your magic, Meditate, and rotate it through your body and brain. Tapsy will appoint an Elf to get you together. Astoria, you will teach Luna and Ginny the rotation and exercises. Teaching it to others often helps in understanding it better.

So, rotate houses to practice in, do your best, and above all have fun."
Peggy Abbot and her Peter were teasing me for getting in Hufflepuff: "We told you Hufflepuff is the best house didn't we?" I complained: "Yeah, Yeah, it is a great house, I only object with the Puff underwear. Striped Boxers are not my thing." Hannah heard me and slapped the back of my head: "We told you to take it like a Puff. Stop complaining about it. It could get worse you know. Slytherin colors!"

Meanwhile, Percy was obsessed with his wand. I whispered to him: "Percy, it is a fabulous wand, but I'll bet Penelope is a better kisser, and you are completely ignoring her. Man up mate." Percy woke up from his daze and devoted the rest of the day to Penny. I know, I am doing damage control, or I'll end up with her too.
Xxxxx
Back at school, we went to the RoR. It was an emotional day, I let Nadia out of the trunk, she went straight to her servants to cuddle. Neville put it into words: "Strange, I don't feel different from yesterday. Hannah? Susan? Do you feel different?"
Hannah huffed: "Yeah! I feel different! Restricted, watched, I have to wait until I am almost fifteen!" I calmed her down: "It is not so bad Hannah, there are other activities that are not mentioned in the contract that are fun too. They just objected to the actual deed, the rest is free game. Anyway, at this moment we are still too young for anything. For example at what age are you planning your first real kiss?"

Daphne said: "I always thought it would be in our third year. Or the end of the second year." I sighed: "I agree, we better focus on our magic, and hope those two years pass very fast. Although I am already in the snogging phase with Tonks. Tonks is much older than us and has different needs, so I meet her halfway."
Tonks grinned: "He is a great snogger." I groaned: "Please don't say it that way! Nicknames are made that way, and snogger is not a flattering one." she turned serious: "You have to show your real magic soon Harry. It will be a deterrent for the death eaters' kids. Taking revenge on a weak boy takes less courage than taking revenge on a powerhouse."

Tracey: "The teachers will be expecting it after the article in the Quibbler. You can't hide it anymore." Nadia said: §My servant speaks true speaker, show your might to those weaklings! Show them you are worthy to be my speaker!§ Great, another bossy woman. Daphne: "You are thinking something inappropriate don't you?" Girls are scary.

At night, when I went to Tonks for her goodnight kiss, she asked: "Harry, can you meet me a bit over that half?" I cranked the silencing Charm up.
Xxxxx
The trials of the death eaters went smooth, under the supervision of the ICW, and without Fudge and Dumbledore, they started actually to follow the laws. Most went to Askaban, some nasty individuals got a kiss, like Macnair and Avery. Lucius got twenty-five years, Narcissa three years in a light section.

Fudge, for aiding in line theft got ten years. Umbitch got her first and last kiss.
Slowly we got in a routine, at lessons, I did not hold back anymore, changing a hedgehog into a pincushion? I did it wandless and with every hedgehog in the room. The Leviosa charm? I floated everything in the room, made formations, and did an aerial battle. The Dada teacher was a good one, still, the spells were pretty basic, so I spammed everything with my eyes closed. I know, OP, I should have waited to bond with those Hallows.

Binns started to piss me off, I could not stay awake in there, almost nobody could. I got in front of Binns and said: "Binns, do you know who I am?" Binns nodded, I continued: "If I hear that one more student falls asleep in your class, then I will move you on, and it will not be the happy place. Get off your ass and teach history instead of those goblin lies you sell as the truth."

History got interesting. Some complained their nap time was taken away, but the majority were happy with the change. We interacted more with our classmates, although they are a bit intimidated by us.
The dancing lessons were fun, I had an Owl course with Astoria, Ginny, and Luna on Magic circulation and physical training.
We got more comfortable around each other, the swimsuits are not in Granny style anymore, that is a plus; our dancing got more natural. Bloody Neville is still showing off with his she-bears, compared to him I am still Pinocchio on his first day.

We are helping Tonks in her studies and practice. I showed her to increase and reduce the size of her Patronus. So when she needs a goodnight kiss it is a toy size horse, she lovingly calls my little pony, that arrives at my bed. The silencing charm did great, but I suspected her roommate got a great show sometimes, meh, I pretend I do not notice her masturbating while she was looking at us.
Xxxxx
The last day of school arrived,

we boarded the train and claimed a compartment, Tonks and I expanded the compartment to fit us all. These last days, everyone got better at wandless, so there was always something floating around. The memory-enhancing showed too, even with Ron, he could even have a decent conversation with Hermione. Strange, those two are drawn to each other likes moths to a flame.

Percy changed the most, he excelled at magic, he was circulating his magic so hard, I had to stop him from hurting himself. Too much of a good thing can be bad. He also got serious with Penelope, I watched them visiting broom closets on my map… Bloody Hell! those Twins, if they are spying on me then they notice my quality time with Tonks. Not that it matters, but they are going to spend time with Sirius. Meh, if he jokes too much, then I change him in a French poodle, fully trimmed, and name him Fifi.

Hermione and Padma came visiting, both became good friends with the girls. We invited them for a visit to my manor. We explained the Knight Bus and the hazards. I felt sorry for them. I said: "Call Minny or Taffy, these are our house-elves, they will bring you straight to the manor. Padma, you can bring Parvati with you if she wants. There is always someone of us home on even days, on uneven days we visit the parents. At the station, I met the parents of Hermione and the Patils. We extended the invitation for a visit to the parents as well. "Just call Minny and Taffy, and they will pop you over."
Xxxxx
It is time I do something about my stalker. Dumbledore was circling the mansion like a fox at a hen house. I do not care about it much but he can be dangerous for the girls.
I made contact with the ward-stone and spread my senses. He was camping a few miles east. I did not sense Fawkes, did Albus get hungry? Meh, I popped behind him and knocked him out. I know! I am too OP! I strip-searched him, I confess.. not my brightest idea. I need at least a night with Tonks to recuperate.

He was loaded with portkey's, potions, and spelled clothes. The tent had a decent library, I felt a book calling to me, feeling familiar. Of course, the tosser had still some Potter Books: "Taffy? Ah Taffy, take all books and add them to your library. Check all trunks and secret compartments for items and books, anything that is not originally Dumbledore is ours.

When Taffy was done, I took the tent down and shrunk it. Then I woke Dumbels up: "Hello Albus, did you have a nice campout? Spare me the comments about me going dark or Voldemort coming back to life. Let us talk about the Master of Death. Yes… That is me. Oh sorry, I forgot I silenced you."
Dumbledore: "Harry my boy…" That got him a slap to his face: "It is Heir Potter to you, also Heir Black, Lord Peverell or Lord Slytherin, take your pick. But I am not, nor was I ever your boy. Let us try again.

Dumbledore: "Heir Potter, it is important you return my wand to me. The safety of the nation is at stake. You think Voldemort is defeated but he will return. You see there…"
I held my hand up: "Let me guess: a prophecy between you and miss Cherry Bottle? Overheard by Sadistic Prick? So you arranged for my parents to get killed, Sirius in prison, and aunt Alice in the mental ward. That gave you free rein for playing with your puppet. Me. Then, Mr. For-The-Greater-Albus, you set me with my aunt, to get abused for ten years.

So you knew Tom Riddle made Horcruxes and kept it a secret like his name. You know, from day one you could have exposed him as a half-blood. It would have decimated his followers. But you won't be a Hero if you vanquish a weak Dark lord, oh no sir he needs to be terrible, a scourge to the nation. Only then would you be legendary, like Merlin.
But don't you worry Albus, his Horcruxes are gone, yes the one in my scar too. We did not even need you for it. Oh did I silence you again? Sorry, you can talk."

Dumbledore was almost speechless… almost: "Harry" Slap! "Heir Potter, how did you find out? Those Horcruxes were a strongly guarded secret." That got him some more slaps. "How did you find it out then?
Did you plan the whole thing with Tom? All of this, so you could play the Hero again? Tom is gone, so are his branded idiots. Tell me what should I do with you?"

I thought for a moment and searched a bit: "You know what Dumbledore, here is your tent, and you can be a pioneer. You see, I have never done this before. You are the first I send on his next great adventure. I found a nice little planet, there is life on it, almost intelligent life. So if you want someone to talk to, you can mingle with the locals. Goodbye Albus, nobody is going to miss you."
I grabbed him by the neck and opened a portal. I grinned at him and threw him to his next great adventure.
Xxxxx
I popped to Tonks and hugged her: "Wife, I have some bad images in my head and I need your beautiful body to detox. Let's go upstairs." We got a step further on the road to manhood. Yep, Tonks discovered the multiple uses of parseltongue. She was humming happy tunes the next day. Sometimes I forget I am only eleven. Well, I can't turn the clock back. Blasted restrictions on my own timeline.

The following days, we alternated between visiting families and training at home. Some evenings we had to attend a ball. I said to the girls: "Enjoy it while you can, after the new year, Durmstrang boy returns. Neville is still outshining me on the dancefloor. The tosser even learned to dance with two girls at the same time.

Daphne said: "Focus on me Dear, let Neville have his revenge. They made fun of him for years, now that it is known his magic was blocked for 80% and is currently a powerhouse, a lot of girls are feeling sorry for themselves."
I smiled at Daphne: "I love focusing on you Dear, in a way you helped me a lot too, you introduced me to the wizarding world. Share your friends with me. I would not be what I am now without you."

She blushed: "Stop flattering me Dear, or my first kiss will be happening today." I spend most of the time on the dancefloor. Rotating seven girls is exhausting, even when Neville helped. The mothers-in-laws needed a spin too, so I spend some time admiring the bosoms. I could not help it! They were on my eye level.

On our practice days I introduced some games, I bought a lot of tennis balls and let them throw them at each other, tennis without a racket, ping pong, they began to invent their own games. The three youngest were a power to watch out for. They were practically joined at the hip. The coordination of the three girls was stunning.

Hermione visited with her parents, they were now for the first time able to see her use magic. When she complained about the unfairness, I'll ask her: "When you have a spell accident, who is going to transport you to St Mungo's? if you accidentally hurt your parents who are going to help them? That is why I offered you to visit.
If something goes wrong, our elves will transport you to St Mungo's if they can't fix it themselves.
We had fun with everyone, I introduced her to Taffy, the librarian. And warned her for Potter only books. That started a rant of free access to magic books, I laughed: "Girl! you are naive! Do you think in the muggle world are no secrets? Ask Cola for their secret recipe. Or Boeing for their blueprints! Ask our military to read the books on nuclear fusion. Better yet, give me your diary, so I can read your deepest thoughts. Do I need to go on?"

Blushing she shook her head: "You made your point, I am sorry." I smiled at her: "I am sorry too, I did not need to be so harsh. Ask Taffy what books you can borrow for a couple of days. Just tell him the topics you are interested in." I arranged for the Yule and Christmas presents to be delivered on time.

The girls got a hanger with their Patronus animal, Ginny a full set of dresses, some to attend the balls. When Arthur protested, I told him it was the same value as the others hanger. Andromeda got a psychology book about unruly children and a nice romance book from her favorite author.
Giving gifts to my aunt was easier, I gave nothing and received nothing, only Duddi got a present, an exercise device with weights and halters. It magically appeared in my old room with a small book about training your muscles.
Xxxxx
A couple of days after Yule, we got in a serious talk with Neville and all the contracted girls. I started: "You know, we are progressing too fast. Magically and emotionally. With the contracts signed, we are viewing ourselves as already married, and want to move things too fast. I am eleven, so are Neville, Astoria, Luna, and Ginny.

The rest of you are twelve. I suggest we set some boundaries that we don't cross before a certain age. That means you too Tonks. You have to understand I am way younger, so the level we are at now, will not progress any further for two years. is that alright?"
Tonks sighed: "I already had that talk with mum, you are right though, I am happy with the level we are at now. Two years, then I want more. Is that alright?" I smiled: "Two years it is."

Daphne: "We all had talks with our parents, they pointed out to us that we are connecting magically, our magic is strong, and the presence of Tonks is maturing us faster. Because she is in our group, we look up to her and like her a lot. So we behave more mature."
Astoria: "Yeah, that was a very uncomfortable talk. I am for boundaries, what are the topics of those boundaries?"

Susan said: "Aunty was on our case too. I suggest our first Kiss at thirteen? Sex at fourteen? If we discuss this so coldly, it seems too rushed."
Hannah nodded: "Neville, I want my first Kiss on my thirteenth birthday, as for sex? We will not set a date, but it will be after you turned fourteen is that alright with you?"

Neville answered: "It seems the parents got together, gran had 'the talk' with me too. I agree with Harry, those contracts are giving us a feeling we are practically

married. The fact that we can hold our own against fourth and fifth years students makes us not only behave above our age, but others are treating us as older ones. Hannah, whenever you are ready, I'll be waiting for you."

I clapped my hands: "Now that the serious talk is over, who wants to go to the beach?" Ginny: "Harry it is bloody freezing outside!" I grinned: "It is summer on the other side. Who has heard of the great barrier reef? I explored it yesterday and found a good spot. Grab ahold of me and we take a few hours, I'll take my trunk with me so we have everything we need."

We arrived at the beach, Tonks transfigured some bathing suits for the girls and went for a swim. With gillyweed, we explored the reef for an hour, caught some fish, and had a barbecue on the beach.
Nadia had a great time, she even found some local snacks: §These snacks are delicious, speaker, find me some other snakes!§
Xxxxx
That evening, I showed them my muggle studies. What can be learned there that is of use in the magic world? I told them: "We are too far ahead with magic, why don't we include muggle studies. Everyone's memory is enhanced and your brains work faster too. Also, we need hobby's, we practice too much."

Ginny: "I am all for beach time. Today was fantastic, and the reef was so beautiful it will be years before I will get tired of it."
