Chapter 1 - The Return
July 15, 2008
Waking up in the arms of his lover, Remus Lupin felt he could take on the world and win that morning. He watched her sleep peacefully as he reached to brush some of the hair away from her face. He gently pulled the covers back to show the scarred and marred body of the woman he loved. He had not given her those scars, but had helped in the last year for her to accept them. Some matched his own, but even as a werewolf, he had not endured what she had.
He reached to brush his finger tips across her hard nipple. She breathed deep at that exact moment and he smiled knowing how she liked to wake up. Moving as stealthly as possible, he took the nipple into his mouth, gently sucking and chewing as he felt her heartbeat increase.
She smiled as the morning light filtered in through the trees and curtains. The feeling of Remus' mouth secured around her breast made her wet with anticipation. Reaching for his head, she pulled his hair. A loud popping noise was heard as his suction was released. "Morning Love," she said with a smirk, "I have to go pee..." as she tried to pull away from his arms.
"Rowan... you know how I like to be involved with your morning activities. Besides, I'm already hard and I want to be inside of you."
"But the mess..."
"I'll let you in on a secret..." he bent his head to whisper in her ear, "I'm a Wizard and I can clean us up when we finish..." Drawing away with a smile he rolled onto his back, the covers tented from the hardness beneath.
She looked at him for a moment before her grin broke into a smile of desire. Nodding, she pulled back the covers. She loved to look at the cock her lover owned. Large and thick even in the middle of the month, a giant just before the full moon, she loved how he felt inside of her.
She raised herself and straddled him. Her knees and lower legs flat on the bed close to his hips as she lowered herself on to him. Once he was fully sheathed inside of her, he grabbed her hips and ground her against him. After a few moments, she began to rock on him. The tip of his cock putting pressure on her bladder.
As the urine left her body from the pressure of her lover, he felt the hot liquid slide down and cover his balls before dripping into the crevice of his ass. He groaned as she releived herself on him. ' I've got to be the luckiest man in the world!' he thought to himself.
She watched his face and knew it would not take much for him to cum this morning. With a few hard slams down onto him, he shuddered and howled as his seed was released inside of her. It never took long when it started with a golden shower. She bent over and kissed him with a sly smile. "We are really sick people, you know it?"
"Ahh, yes, my love, but the beauty of it is that no one else suspects a thing..." With a final groan they stood and with a flick of his wand, the bed was clean again, never to reveal the fetish the two shared. An hour later, they had showered, restored her glamours, and were ready to start the day.
And it was not a normal day either, today was the day that Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Mason Black, and Madison Black, would officially re-enter the Magical Community of England. After a year of healing, play, and education, the seven youths that had defeated Lord Voldemort would accept their future roles in this world.
All were legal adults now, and would receive their monetary rewards from the International Magical Governments. In all, each would receive just over fifty million galleons each. This would allow them to begin their plans for a world which did not create the anger and hate in a child as it did for Tom Riddle.
They had left Texas June 3rd, two days after graduation from an American Public High school; having won individual awards and championships for sporting and musical events. Homecoming and Prom King & Queen were just a few of their accomplishments. The wizarding world had left them alone for one year, as demanded by their mentor, Rowan Cowan Black. Who just happened to be Mason and Madison's mother. Katie MacRue had returned with them as well. As the love of Mason's life, but strictly non-magical, she would still eventually be a parent to the child of a powerful wizard.
Katie had been reared by her grandfather after her parents were killed. Growing up in a home such as hers made her spend many hours with those trusted adults. She felt that Rowan was her own mother and loved her dearly. She had lived with the group at her home the previous year. As she and Mason grew closer, she found herself even more in love with the large blonde. In April, 2008, her granddad died. With nothing to keep her in Texas, she had jumped at the chance to move to England with the people she loved most. Mason apparated to the Potter Estate with Katie; which she loved this so much more than the trips she had taken with the house elf the previous year.
Upon their initial arrival at the Potter Estate, they were joined by Professor Dumbledore. Because the Weasley's new home was under construction and would be completed soon, so for the moment they were still living at the estate. The visit with their old headmaster was short, but memorable. They had asked for six weeks to reacclimatize themselves, and make ready their plans for the future. He had agreed.
The weeks were spent completing the new "Burrow", excavating, exploring, mapping, and scheming. Visits were made to individual magical creature leaders throughout the world by envoys from the seven. Wedding and educational plans were made. Plans for a new future were completed. Maps, parchment, and written proposals completed.
The notice was printed in every publication in the wizarding world that on July 15th, the group would return and have a press conference. That day would also mark the reintroduction of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. They had learned much in their year away from England. They had taken only one house-elf with them to Texas, and even then the kids had seen the change in them. Although they regretted their part in Voldemort's rise to power, they now saw a different way to live. They had been in the same intense counseling group that Rowan had been. Much to Arthur's dismay, the Malfoy's would be tried in a magical court of law a week after the official return, meaning on or about July 22: their lives would be changed forever.
The group apparated to the Hogwart's Main Gates on July 15th at 8:30 AM; walked to the main front doors and entered the castle. Katie, ever close to Mason, held his hand tight as she saw Nearly Headless Nick float by and greet her. The others acknowledged him as they made their way to the Great Hall for breakfast with the staff and Ministry Officials.
They were greeted warmly. Lucius and Narcissa, Remus and Rowan followed them in and gave them space to move around the wizards assembled. Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood had joined the group as well. Harry found himself wondering how many other couples they would run into when they were fully back into the world to which they belonged.
Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione, Mason and Katie, Draco and Madison, stood hand in hand when Neville and Luna joined them. They went to a table set up for the former students. Neville had grown considerably, both in stature and confidence. Luna, because of the war, had lost most of the dreamy quality she carried with her when they were in school together. As they talked, the spoke not of the war, but of times prior to the final battle and caught up on the latest gossip of the times since they had been separate from the magic area for a year. After breakfast, the ten waited in the small room off the great hall until Rowan came for them. "Are you all ready?"
Harry said, "Uhm, let me quote a witch I know 'Hell Yea!'" And with that declaration, they followed her out into the morning sunlight to the front lawn. The held onto a port key which would take them to the same arena which the Quiddich World cup would be played in just a few weeks. When they were released from the its grasp, they were met with just under a hundred thousand witches and wizards from around the world, press, and representatives from every group of intelligent magical creatures who had sent envoys to accept them into their folds, should the humans be stupid enough not to allow what they wanted to do.
There were great screens which faced every area of the arena. These screens would magically show whoever was on the stage, with the person's voice magically magnified would be sent forth with great volume. Hermione had also set charms for languages. The barriers of old would not stand today. Everyone would hear their words in their own language. Dignitaries representing every country and species were set along the lowest level of the stadium, even the merpeople's tank was set at the lowest level, which held the King and Queen along with their children who nodded to them as they followed Professor Dumbledore to the stage.
They held hands tightly, forming a human train through the crowd, as they inched their way to the front table and raised podium. It took almost half an hour just to calm the crowd in order to be heard. Mason met eyes with Katie and Rowan who sat next to Remus, the Weasleys and Luna. Finally when order was restored, Dumbledore stood and spoke, his voice magically magnified:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, creatures too many to count, and friends, we welcome you. These are the ones who are the real reason you have come, not to see or listen to me, but to see what seven adolescents have become in their year absence. I think, as you can see, these former students have become adults of which any parent would be proud. I, for one, am very excited at the prospect of their return to our world. I want to say a simple 'Thank you' for the enthusiasm shown here today. Also, for giving them the year they needed to heal and find comfort without being interviewed. They needed it, badly. Without further adieu, I turn this podium over to the Minister of Magic, Arthur Weasley."
Mr. Weasly stood and walked from his family on the front row up the side stairs and to the podium. His voice, from the charm of the podium, was magnified for all to hear. "Thank you one and all for coming. I realize that I am not the one you wanted either, but proper protocol must be observed.
"These men and women behind me were instrumental in the defeat of the Dark Lord Voldemort. They worked tirelessly with the Ministry and School, while maintaining the incredible study schedule laid out for them on a daily basis. Ms. Rowan Cowan Black, led a team of International Aurors, Research Teams, Demon Hunters, Vampires, Werewolves, and even Muggle Agents to create the team to fulfill the old prophesy, whose sole purpose was to defeat the darkness that had covered our land and the world at large. Mrs. Black came to us as a Muggle Studies teacher near the beginning of that summer. She and I worked extensively to revise the OWL and NEWT tests, and curriculum.
"'Instant friends' is how my daughter Ginny described her relationship with the Americans. As Professor Black taught at Hogwart's, the magic in her family's past came to the surface. Not only was she a full witch with blood lines that are as old as the Weasley's, Malfoy's, Dumbledore's and Potter's, within weeks of her immersion into the wizarding world, her powers could be called that of Sorceress.
"Madison and Mason's powers were kept hidden until the final battle. Other than those with whom they lived and who taught them, no one was aware that two of the lost pureblood children had been returned to our world. Their powers were harnessed by ancient magic and combined with our own five students, became legendary.
"The details of their training and infusion will never be completely revealed. It is better to not have too much information of that type of power. However, given what they accomplished in training, testing, and with the final defeat of Voldemort and his followers, I am proud to be the one who will read the following decision of the international Wizard Gamut:
September 11, 2007
After months of extensive interviewing of the witnesses of the Great Battle, review of correspondence of battle strategies and spells between the seven and the Side of Light, we hereby award the following:

Are hereby granted the status of: Sorcerers and Sorceresses; by the International Wizarding Gamut. This honor has not been bestowed to any individual in over 1000 years. The last Witches and Wizards to receive this honor were the Founding Four of Hogwarts.
We are proud to additionally grant the status and assistance this title holds.
Sincerely,
"And it is signed by every witch and wizard who voted. The vote was unanimous, and the hearing to determine this status was the first meeting in over 200 years in which every member was in attendance." The crowd went wild. It took many minutes for order to be restored. The last ones to stop screaming were all red-headed. No one noticed Rowan, who sat silently crying at the elevated status.
"Additionally, Neville Frank Longbottom has an award as well:
September 11, 2007
For Services rendered in the attack of Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, for the strategies and teachings in the defense of the school, and for maintaining order in chaos against overwhelming odds, the Wizard Gamut hereby grant the following:
Neville Frank Longbottom; Order of Merlin Platinum
He will receive full status in the Wizard Gamut as a voice of his generation. And will be assisted in any position they wish to fill. All further education will be offered as needed or desired.
Further, Mr. Longbottom, who is a graduate of Hogwart's, will receive a special plaque of honor to be placed in the entry hall for the world to see.
Sincerely,
"This too, was signed at the same meeting as the other. Additionally, for anyone who is not aware, there is a Memorial statue on the grounds of Hogwarts' to memorialize the students who willingly gave their lives so that others could live." After receiving their awards, Neville left the stage to sit with Luna. As the crowd erupted into screams and applause again, Arthur left the stage area and rejoined his wife and sons in the front row.
The crowd, once again under control, fell completely silent as Harry stood and walked to the podium. The others were sitting behind him waiting for their turn to be called. With a deep breath and reassuring glance back at Ginny, Harry began to speak. "Hello. Thank you for coming to this circus." The crowd laughed indulgently. "Thank you Mr. Weasley and the Gamut for the honors, awards, and monetary rewards of a job completed. At this point, none of us feel we deserve it and would not choose to accept such elevation."
Minister Weasley stood and approached the young man, addressing the crowd, he asked if any present would like to rescend the awards bestowed, there were no takers. With a final nod of understanding, Mr. Weasley returned to his seat. no one noticed the smug look of acomplishment on Rowan's face.
Harry continued, "Well, that settles that. Thank you all, although I am not sure we deserve it, but given what we see as our future, we will accept the honors you have chosen to bestow upon us."
"At the insistence of out mentor, Rowan Black, we took a year away from this world to breathe, play, and regroup; spending the last year or so being normal teenagers. Something we could not have done, had we stayed here. We offer our apologies to Neville Longbottom, as he has taken the responsibility in our absence. It started out with just wanting to deal with the fact that we had caused so many deaths. Death Eaters or Light Side, we felt responsible for every death that happened while we were in training that winter and fall. That's a lot of responsibility to take on the shoulders of a group of teenagers.
"Failure was never an option for us. We drew strength from each other and those that taught us. We found friendship and a camaraderie, in that time together that allowed the defeat of the darkest wizard in recorded history. But after it was over, after seeing the blood soaked lawn at Hogwart's, the bodies, and the gore of the battle, even after graduation, we simply needed some time. Rowan arranged it.
"The seven of us, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, Remus Lupin, and Rowan Cowan Black moved to a small town in Texas to spend that year away from, well, this type of extravaganza. Honestly, we just couldn't cope with all that had happened, let alone talk about it in front of this many people. Our year of American school helped more than any of you can imagine. Our friendships stronger, our future relationships sealed, we knew we would be able to return here and outline a better future for us all." Harry took a drink of water and a deep breath before continuing.
"Tom Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort, was reared in a Muggle orphanage. His mother was a great witch but she died at birth. His Muggle father would have nothing to do with him. As he grew, he was left alone for the most part. The few people who he did not kill who lived with him there remember him as a loner and withdrawn. He never spoke to his dorm mates. When he was accepted to Hogwart's, he was a mud-blood wizard sorted into Slytherin.
"As you can imagine, it did not take long for him to continue his life long practice of being ignored by his fellow students. The first year he was away from the orphanage was probably harder on him that all the years combined there. At the end of his time his first year, he found a book that gave the blood line of Salazar Slytherin. Tracing forward, he found that he was the only heir to the sorcerer. This was his turning point. He read every book available on the man. His teachings, thoughts, and beliefs were twisted into Tom's being.
"During his second year, he made several friends. Professor Dippitt, who was then the headmaster here, confirmed to his head of house that Tom was, indeed, the heir of Slytherin. In his infinite wisdom, but against the advice of a teacher named Dumbledore, the headmaster placed a memory charm on the student body to forget that Tom Riddle was a mud-blood and his lineage. But Tom Riddle did not forget. He used that deceit to become stronger. A powerful, yet untrained wizard emerged from that lonely withdrawn child. He had never known the feeling of a hug or heard a kind word from those who reared him in the orphanage.
"During his fifth year, after extensive research, Tom found and opened the Chamber of Secrets. He learned of the Basilisk and his talent as a parsel mouth that would allow him to communicate with Salazar's personal pet that was, at that point, over a thousand years old." The crowd seemed to hold on each word as the story of the darkest wizard who ever lived life's story was told to them, in sorted pieces. "The basilisk told him of the pain that Salazar felt over his unreciprocated love for Rowena Ravenclaw; his feelings of betrayal by Godric Gryffindor, and his irritation with Helga Hufflepuff over her acceptance of all children into her house.
"Tom became obsessed with the teachings of his long dead relative. During his seventh year, Tom Riddle was made Head Boy. He also opened the Chamber of Secrets that year and had the Basilisk move through the pipes to injure and eventually kill a student whom he did not see fit to attend his school. He even managed to blame a certain half-giant third year student with the ending result of his expulsion. Tom was awarded a 'Special Services to the School' plaque which is still in the Trophy room at this school." Looking around at Ron, he added, "Ron found it during our second year."
"Once Tom graduated, his obsession with the purification of the Wizarding Race was overwhelming. He had managed to recruit others to his thought processes. Because he had followers and not friends, his fall into the dark arts consumed him. He had no light for his path. It was complete darkness." He turned to Ron and took his seat. The crowd maintained their complete silence and Ron picked up the story.
"Voldemort, as he was now called, used his influence and abilities to discredit families, then later, to abuse, torture and kill those he did not feel worthy to be blessed with the power of magic. His beliefs twisted to the point that he wanted to rule the wizarding world. A prophecy was made by Ms. Sybil Trelawney, a few months into 1989. She predicted that the one with the power to vanquish him would be born as the 7th month dies to parents who had escaped him three times. There was more to the prophecy, but that was the only part he heard.
"In the assumption that he would be able to kill a baby easier than a fully grown wizard, he enlisted the help of one of James Potter's closest friends, Peter Pettigrew. He killed James but, when he attempted to kill Harry, Lily Potter sacrificed herself to save him. Her death cast a protection spell around him and when Voldemort threw the killing curse at him, it was rebound and cost Tom his body. The funny thing is that the prophesy could have been Harry Potter or Neville Longbottom." Ron left the podium as Ginny stood.
"For much of our school time together, Neville Longbottom, although placed in Gryffindor house, did not have the confidence needed to become more than he was. Since, getting to know my brother and Harry, he is a formidable wizard who even I would think twice about before crossing. By choosing to try to kill Harry first, he allowed Neville to escape that destiny. Neville was instrumental in many positive things, however. His first year, he won points that secured the house cup for Gryffindor. His 5th year, he joined us as we went into the Department of Mysteries and fought our way out. That was also the time when the Ministry first accepted the story that Voldemort had returned.
"During the summer before his seventh year, when a choice few Ministry officials kidnapped Harry and placed him deep underground in an ancient cell that prevented him from doing magic 'for his own good', of course, Neville was beside us, assisting in breaking through the wards of the castle in which he was being held; and assisted in the protection and actual rescue of Harry who had spent several weeks in the dark earth.
"Harry, weak from his time in the darkness, was unable to walk. Neville protected Ron when he carried Harry out into the sunlight. Hermione cast charms around them to keep them safe, but Neville had to face off with more than one guard in order to get us out of there whole. Additionally, when Harry was returned to the school, and the extent of injuries he had suffered was revealed, Neville was the first to offer replenishing potions which he, personally, had brewed to perfection. We applaud the new Ministry for realizing the gifts which Neville has used so completely. His accomplishments are not second to anyone's. The potions he developed with the assistance of Professor Severus Snape, quite probably, assisted we seven in the final battle. We were secure in the knowledge that Neville Longbottom had developed the potion and it would help us. He is an amazing wizard, and one we are proud to call friend."
Hermione took her turn to talk about the final battle. "The research for the charms used for the final battle was of the most ancient of our texts. We were fortunate to come across a veritable cacophony of useful texts in our quest for success. We learned defense spells and for our offensive spells, chose positive charms which had some effect but not long lasting. While we were concentrating on our approach, Ron and Neville concentrated on the student body as a whole approach.
"During the first term of our seventh year, we were granted a field trip to the United Stated. During that trip, we visited the Magical Creatures and sought help at a moment's notice. It was not difficult to convince them of the need. Everyone here today has lost at least one person to the war. We would like to recognize the House-Elves, led by Dobby. We would like to also recognize a special elf who died so that others could live, Winky, who once belonged to the Crouches. When they released her from service, she came to Hogwart's; working extensively for the Order of resistance to Voldemort. She was a good and faithful friend and she is missed." Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"The Goblins of Gringott's, who as a general rule do not get involved with the affairs of wizards, were approached by Ron and me. The French Goblin Horde had joined the dark side with the promise to take over Gringott's when Voldemort defeated Harry. The Goblin against Goblin and Elf, battle was terrifying to be sure. When the House Elves of Hogwart's bound what was left of the French Horde, the Gringott's Horde accompanied students out to fight the Giants and Aracumantula. If you have ever seen more fierce creatures than angry Goblins, I would not want to meet them. Veela would have run from this horde as they fought bitterly to keep the students and injured safe.
"If there is a way to enjoy the impact of pain, anger, and indignation, it is in watching the smaller fight against the larger, and watching the larger lose bitterly. The Centaurs, in their infinite wisdom, joined the side of the light as well. They suffered losses but continue to use their skills as marksmen to drop either by death or injury, the opponents of the light. Aracumantula fought their own kind in defense of human children. Aragog, who was first accused of being the monster within the Chamber of Secrets, led his children out into the battle against the intruders. He personally saved a group of student fighters who had been thrown by a Giant and upon hitting the ground, were immediately seized by the large spiders. Aragog's family saved every child. The Vampires and Werewolves came to our assistance, as did the Slayer and Demon Hunters. The chosen one, Angel, is a vampire, but still brought his team. We knew when the teams assembled, that we were assured of success." Hermione stopped to let the words sink in as she walked to her seat beside Ron.
Draco walked to the podium next. "First, let me tell you that although we speak of them often through this lecture that Ms. Black, Madison and Mason not be standing to tell you information about that year and beyond. They have chosen to simply support the five of us as we attempt to explain what happened and why we are doing what we will be doing.
"As Ms. Granger told you, the community of magical creatures, world-wide helped with this effort. Even if it means the gamut taking back our statuses as sorcerers and sorceresses, this credit in imperative. We will gladly give up this elevated status in order for the proper credit be given to the others. We did not do this alone, and it must be understood. Many of these magical creatures lost parents that day. Many children and grandchildren were left behind. The wizarding communities, since the time of Tom Riddle's first murder, have lost countless families.
"I almost lost my parents as well." He stopped to let the words take hold of the crowd. "Harry and Hermione are both orphans now. Madison and Mason lost their father, Sirius Black to Azkaban when they were babies, and again, when a fight at the Ministry cost him his life, they also had their mother ripped from their lives twice by death eaters, and once by overwhelming pain at what she forced us to do that day. We still live every day with the loss of the brave man who saved her, Severus Snape, who was also my god-father. I am honored to have known him, just as she is honored to have loved him. In one week's time, my parents will be brought to trial as death eaters; where they will accept their punishment for their crimes. However, for the past year, I have known what love which Ginny and Ron have been reared. My parents, have seen the path that led them to the beliefs and the damage those beliefs caused.
"The Wizarding world at large must accept responsibility for the thousands of followers Tom Riddle was able to have. He took a twisted sentiment based on hate and greed and convinced most pure blood families that he had the right ideas. He was a great speaker and intelligent; but he ruined families without care or regret. He has been dead for over a year, and my own is still going to crumble.
"Think of the things we have told you when you listen to the plans we have. Because of the damage and destruction left in the wake of the war, our time of healing has led us down the path we now choose. We ask for your support of our venture as it may well prevent the breakdown of future generations of Witches, Wizards, Goblins, Centaurs, Giants, House Elves, Aracumantula, and any of the hundreds of other Magical communities that are too long to list."
Draco looked to Harry, who rose with the rest to stand shoulder to shoulder and face the crowd. Harry stepped forward again, "We will take the majority of the reward monies build an orphanage and Children's Hospital for all magical creatures."
Hermione flicked her hand and the large screens appeared to the crowd to show pictures of the planned space. He continued "Ottery St. Catchpaw has some 400 inhabitants. Of these, 390 are Witches, Wizards, or Squibs. The other ten or so are married to one or the other of the magical representatives. The surrounding area hold four great estate homes: Mine, the Malfoys, the Cowan Estate, and the Weasleys - which is also known as the Burrow. The center of this area has a large lake around which is approximately 200 square kilometers of unplottable land. This is the proper area which we have decided to build." Hermione flicked her hand to show an aerial photo of the area. It was taken from a satellite with the cooperation of the American Ministry and Government.
"The school and hospital will be built here." Another flick and a large X appeared on the map. "We will bring in any and all magical children under the age of recognized schooling. Gringott's Goblin Horde has agreed to house any possessions of the families until the children are of age to receive them, in special vaults within their bank.
"Our goal is to stop what happened to Tom Riddle. We will show individual attention to the children. Your support will be imperative in its success or failure. The older children that are found or brought to us will share a house elf and a dorm mate of the same breed. However, the infants to toddlers will be housed in a wing of ten per room, with a ratio of one caregiver per child. The infant wing will not be set apart by breed or lineage. It will not allow the prejudice of the past to cloud the inherent good we will promote. Our collective goal is to give, from their earliest memories, love and companionship. They will be read to while being rocked. Their nightmares will be comforted by physical contact; their fears talked through rather than hidden away. Explanations will be given rather than hidden as to why they are there instead of with their families.
"Further, our goals are to be ready for world wide disasters with the implementation of the first ever exclusive Magical Children's hospital. There will be several wings in the facility. Much like the Muggle concept, each magical breed will have its own healers and wing. Luna Lovegood, who was training as a healer before the war, has agreed to lead the specialized training into Pediatrics. Madison and Draco will be attending a Muggle University while the hospital is being built and staffed.
"Our first objective is to set the temporary housing for the human orphans. They are the ones that are currently in Muggle Orphanages world-wide. These are the first ones will need to rescue. Ginny and I will be overseeing the removal of these children to the new facility. Age regardless, these children must be brought back into the magical community. We do not care if their parents or guardians were Death Eaters or light side. We do not care if they are muggleborn or pure blood. We care because the darkness will resurface if we ignore those left behind by this war."
Hermione flicked her hand again to show the drawing of the final facility, including play parks, elves, kitchens, individual rooms, hospital, and staff. The running picture, in the style of a Muggle Cartoon, ran through slowly giving the assembled crowd time to drink in the information. Harry waited for their attention to return to him before continuing.
"Ron and Hermione will oversee the construction. Mason and his fiancé' Katie will begin recruiting staff and donations of good to be used in the rooms, as well as decorating the infant wing. Mr. Lupin and Ms. Black has agreed to stay on with us as kind of a Headmistress. Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall have agreed to be available for any additional administrative support she may need as the facility grows. The European Wizarding schools have agreed to share their facilities for education. When a child is school age, he or she will be given the opportunity to go to other schools besides Hogwart's, depending on their home country.
"The majority of the reward monies will go far in this development. But, we ask you, the wizard community to assist with beds, cribs, high chairs, infant and children's clothes, books, rocking chairs, linens, and other things these children will need in order to begin. We ask the Magical Creature community to share with our care givers the specifics which the healers will need on the different species we will house. We ask that all healers with Pediatric knowledge begin to write about the cases which have brought the most information forward in the field.
"Currently, there is not a magical facility in the world for Children. There are no multi-species facilities. We are breaking unknown ground in an attempt to prevent another dark lord from rising from the uncaring world in which he was reared.
"The facility name will be: The Riddle House." Gasps and shouts of outrage reverberated through the crowd of people. They knew it would be coming. When Rowan suggested it, it was easy to imagine this reaction. Finally, Harry raised a hand. His image now transferred back to the great screens for the crowd to see. "That's enough! For almost sixty years, a very large majority of you did not know or remember that the Dark Lord Voldemort was actually once a very scared little boy who was not loved. Look at what he became. The only way to prevent it from reoccurring is to remember him and what he did. It is settled and it is what we have chosen. Please go back to your homes and consider all you have been told today.
"If you wish to help, it will be appreciated. If you choose to pretend that no one is responsible for the rise of an evil human that is also your choice. We choose to remember the darkness that covered our land, took our parents from us, and threatened to destroy the entire world, Muggle and Wizard alike. AND WE CHOOSE TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO PREVENT IT FROM THIS POINT FORWARD!"
No one realized that the screens disappeared until long after they were gone. Harry's irritation at the continued reaction of the crowd had sent a powerful wave across the stands and inhabitants of those chairs. Everyone could remember the entire speech word for word. Everyone knew why they were going to do this. Now they each had to decide if they would help or not. By the time the crowd came out of their stupor, the stage was empty and the sorcerers and sorceresses had left the area along with the adults who they trusted most.
