We play people's games

Old guy's brother went through 4 Potter-verses and ended up in Westeros for his next level. This can be read as a stand-alone if you accept the Skills he brought along. His previous levels were done in: The games people play. As always Cringe and Crack are included. The bloody Game is still in Extreme Hard Mode. Insert/Multi

Mr. Martin, I came into your world to mess around with your puppets, I brought J.K.'s best along to help me conquer that Iron chair everyone wants to sit on. For free of course.

Lyanna got educated fast by the girls, when she wrote them off the courting, of Lord Galbart showing interest, but he was betrothed to a Manderly. A betrothal with the whoremonger came in closer and closer.

Daphne advised: Show the bracelet to your father, and tell him that all the items you got are a courting gift. That would give you some leeway. Tracey was enthusiastic: That is right! She can ride on Benny!

Padma wrote: No, Benny is Harold's we need to plan a road trip to Valyria.

Lyanna: What is a Benny?

4 A trip to Valyria

Parvati: Benny is Harold's pet.

Lyanna: I thought his horse's name was Dinar? I did not see any other animal with him in Harrenhall.

Daphne: It is kind of a secret for now Lyanna. Just like how Harold got his magical powers.

Tracey: This is to give your father time to find a good husband for you.

Lavender: Yes, but… if you like our husband, you will have to learn to share.

Daphne: We will welcome you with open arms, our Harold seems to like you very much.

Padma: Don't worry about finances, we already have a trading company in Braavos, and recently claimed a village and Keep from pirates

Me: And now we stop gossiping about me and start our duties.

…

Lyanna: Eyeball? Is it permitted to use your gifts to prevent being betrothed to the whoremonger?

Me: Yes, my fair She-wolf. Being married to that man is a fate I wish no woman would have to endure. You can use the gifts as a courting gift. No strings attached.

Lyanna: Thank you Eyeball, you are my best friend. But I am still not ready to share a husband, you'll have to get by with six. Goodbye, Eyeball Harold.

Me: I am happy with my six, fair She-wolf, but will welcome you whenever you want. Goodbye Lady Lyanna.

That will get the Stag away from my She-wolf. Daphne, Tracey, and Padma Teleported to me. Daphne said: "Lady Lyanna is our Key to the North. It would not hurt to court her officially. We need to get an egg from Valyria for her and see what else is there. I doubt they could take all of it away in time. A few bubblehead charms will surely keep us alive."

Padma added: "With our magic, we can connect the seas with a channel at Moat Cailin. Daphne and I have Druidic Affinity, Tracey and Fay have Elemental affinity. Along with you, it would not take long to dig that canal, that way your parents could trade with Braavos.

Tracey said: "Do it as a wedding gift and ask Moat Cailin in return to settle there."

Padma grinned: "We can conquer Westeros from there."

I shrugged: "When the chicks are fully grown, we can conquer Westeros from any direction. The Targaryens did it with three dragons, we have eight, fifteen when we use our Animagus dragon. That is enough to torch the place."

We have to be low-key for now, the chicks are still too small, and the last time I visited my parents my mum was pregnant with a boy. I think in six months she will give birth, I have set alerts to warn me so I can be on standby for emergencies, I already warded the keep from insects and small rodents. I hope to get back from Valyria by then."

Daphne asked: "What ship do we take to Valyria? I doubt our trade ships can handle the acids from those underwater gasses."

I gathered the girls at my dry dock and explained: "In my Inventory is a lot of metal that can be used to build a ship with. I have some blueprints of some fast 100 feet-long ships, if we fortify the front of the ship we don't even need to stop for pirates, we just run them over. With our transfiguration, we can do this fast. Paint the thing brown and we don't stand out… much."

Fay, our local half-blood said: "No keep them gray, the sails too. They won't see us coming that way. You do plan on sailing ships Harry? I doubt this planet is ready for engines."

I shrugged: "It would make it easier to drive if you don't have to mind the wind. Maybe a small one that runs on ambient magic for maneuvering? Or one a bit bigger if we have a strong headwind or no wind at all?"

We started to build the hull, the chicks were holding on to the bodies of the girls, curiously following our magic. Everyone was basking with the attention of the little dragons; I commented: Enjoy it now that you can, over three months they will be too big to carry on your shoulders."

It took two weeks to build the ship, only the sails and the rigging was missing. Parvati and Lavender took care of the sails, we rigged them so that the sails can be raised and lowered with only a few people.

That took another week, Enchanting and warding the ship was done two weeks later. It was a beauty.

After some discussions, we all agreed to call her Lyanna. Lyanna gave her permission for it and all.

We hired a captain from our fleet with some of his crew and promoted the first mate for his old position and introduced them to the Lyanna.

Daphne explained to the captains: "We cleared the pirate nest here a few months ago, and improved the harbor and village. We needed a good ship for a trip to Valyria that can survive the trip. Our Lord designed and build it with our help with modern innovations and… Magic. We build this ship for speed and power."

The former first mate said to his old captain: "Good luck cap! If this works out, you will be named in the history books. If it doesn't, I bet this metal box will go down very fast."

Laughing, we flooded the dry dock and steered the ship out. The new captain stopped joking when we showed the new sails and rigging. We could do it in less than half the time of the old way, with less crew. He was tasked to follow us on the practice trip, while the crew learned to handle the new setup.

When we returned at the end of the day, I demonstrated the not so small anymore engine for maneuvering.

The one that was the happiest was the guy on the steering wheel. He got a nice warm cabin with glass windows.

Captain Hornblower said: "I am convinced My Lord. You have my respect, it is the fastest ship I ever experienced, it handles and maneuvers like the best. When do we leave?"

Padma: "Tomorrow morning you leave for Braavos, and race there as fast as you can, we will time your arrival. In Braavos, load merchandise to trade along the way. Pentos, Myr, Tyrosh, and Volantis are our stops. Our end destination is the Smoking sea and Valyria. This ship is specially made to survive those harsh conditions. We will travel with you.

Hornblower frowned: "Nobody so far survived the Smoking Sea, how are we going to live through this?" I raised my hand and conjured a flame: "With Magic Captain Hornblower. You just have to drop us off there, we can return on our own."

Bullshitting 75

Ow come on! How did it get so high? The girls giggled, Fay said: "I like this sense of humor."

Xxxxx

The Lyanna shook the City with her appearance. It took her less than ten hours to sail 100 miles, The Lyanna shocked them, even more, when she docked without sails at our warehouse. Tracey mentioned: "It is a good thing we warded the ship against criminals or it will be stolen by tomorrow."

Fay sighed: "I will arm the sailors with the sword I made from Blacksmithing, Parvati? You are leveling Enchanting, can you spell them with some? If there are some archers I can give some bows too. Enchant them to stay in a range of a hundred feet from the ship, so they won't get stolen."

That evening we received a lot of invitations from the local Nobles, the one we could not refuse was the Sealord of Braavos. We dressed up for the occasion and took a carriage to the Castle.

The Sealord's hall was filled with Keyholders from the Iron Bank, we recognized the rings, Magistrates, and the most powerful Nobles.

Most were wary of us. We show up not one year ago, take a trading company over, and now have a big metal ship at their dock.

The Sealord addressed the main topic: "Lord Porther, I myself had to see it with my own eyes that a metal ship can float in the water. When we questioned Captain Hornblower, he claimed that it is the fastest ship in the world. He also claimed that you created that ship yourself with your fiancees. That was all he could say before something silenced him. Our questions to you are: What are your plans in Braavos? And are there going to be more of those vessels? And most of all: Are they for sale?"

Daphne as the oldest Companion answered: "My Lords and Ladies, my name is Daphne Greengrass and will be our Lord's voice this evening. Our lord's only goal is to study trading and only has the best intentions for this city. Our plans are to help evolve the region our Lord is from. The North of Westeros. We plan on doing this with trading and innovations. Unfortunately, the metal ships are not for sale at the moment. The metals it is made of are rare, we only have metal for at most four or five ships."

While Daphne and Padma were doing the diplomatic stuff, the others were checking the people with Observe and Telepathy.

Bessaro approached me: "Lord Porther, or is it the Eyeball from Deepwood? Your magic is very strong. I doubt even the Warlocks from Qarth are that powerful, maybe the Red priests come close."

I shrugged: "Both survive on human sacrifices. They are not my friends. Do you like your rings?"

Bessaro smiled: "Oh yes, very much so. We like to buy thirteen more for our couriers. Transporting large sums attracts many that want it for themselves, so more rings would come in handy. Does your metal ship have passengers quarters?"

I nodded: "Yes, we have some luxury quarters on them, I designed this one as a personal vessel, so the quarters are quite luxurious. I have a trip planned to Volantis and every major City between them. You might as well know that we destroyed a pirate base, and claimed it for ourselves a hundred miles south.

It is there where we build our ship. It has a small village and a Keep, a nice harbor too."

Yep, let them hear we don't depend on Braavos alone and have other irons in the fire.

Daphne and Padma made several agreements with other traders, secured cargo for Pentos and Myr. It took two days to prepare, we filled twenty rings with cargo, we planned to buy warehouses in the major cities.

You know? When you plan for a trip it is more exciting than the trip itself? Yep, five days on the trip looking at water, the girls Teleported back to the Nest to care for the chicks… the bitches left me behind. It was a good thing we met some pirates to vent my frustrations on. Those beggars didn't even have something worthwhile in their boat, we just sunk the thing.

In Pentos I Teleported to the Nest for the girls. Once there, only Daphne and Padma stayed behind to set our trade up, we met the high brass, bought a nice warehouse, while Daphne and Padma hired the employees, I warded the building with the usual stuff. The Ceo got a storage ring and a communication book.

The first men that tried to do something funny with my girls were lucky I was not present. Now they are just… broken would be a good description.

We left for Myr, I kissed the girls goodbye and bravely sailed away. By now, even my inspiration to compose new songs run dry, it is a good thing I had five hours a day for my dungeons, I only had Benny with me, but at least we had some fun.

Myr was fairly good for business, transporting glass is ideal for our storage rings. If we really wanted we could do it ourselves by transfiguring sand into glass, but the girls even get bored after five days at sea imagine them spending months creating windowpanes. That would be a reason for divorce.

Daphne and Padma bought a nice spot in the harbor, while I left for the next city. Tyrosh, Lys, and Volantis got the same setup.

Xxxxx

Finally, we reached the smoking sea, the captain told the crew to keep their heads inside the ship, never lean over the railing. That would get them killed. I stood on the front of the ship doing a Titanic pose, bloody Di Caprio better not show his face, and continued to cast an overpowered Accio Valyrian Steel, while we skimmed the coastlines of the islands.

I got all kinds of junk, swords, daggers, knives, spoons, forks, goblets, some jewelry. After two weeks I told the captain to sail back home. The communication books were proving to be the most useful tool to do business, so he already knew what his next cargo and destination is going to be.

They left me on the island close to the city of Valyria. A point me spell pointed me to the goodies, five eggs, on a single day, and a shitload of Valerian steel. I sacked the place until the last Knut. Some of the vaults had a lot of books, jewelry, and gold.

The Title Greedy Bastard deserved his name this week. I ended up with eighteen eggs, we decided to keep them for the kids. I healed them back to 50% and put them in a stasis box in the Familiar Storage.

Xxxxx

I am certain I got Brightroar among the swords, but I can not go to that Lannister and ask: which one is yours? It is better to see if we can find a drawing of that thing.

In the following weeks, I did the other islands. How do you ask? I got on a broom and did a search pattern while casting Accio's and point me's.

The final total was twenty-nine eggs, lots of armor and swords, enough cutlery to serve a banquet, and so much jewelry you could bury the wives under it. I even found some horns that could control dragons, it is scrap metal now.

I could not Teleport directly to the Nest, I had to hop the Cities to get there.

Xxxxx

That night, when I returned home, the wives advanced to the next step in our relationship, we moved up from kisses to skin contact. The bloody game handicapped me, it had my Parseltongue blocked, and Dragontongue was a bland replacement.

A few days later I felt Lyanna calling me through her bracelet. She probably is in trouble, so I made myself invisible, took my swords out, and ported to the closest place I could reach, that was Seagard, from there I could Teleport directly next to her… BED? She is in bed? Bloody hell! She is rubbing one-off, calling my name! I did the honorable thing and left of course… a half-hour later. The title Male Scumbag is well deserved. Meh, I had a good look at the goods.

I think the wives told Lyanna about how far they got with me, and she let her imagination do the work. She is a total babe, sixteen, so I have to hurry before the whoremonger takes off with her.

I told the wives to select some more courting gifts and put them in a fancy Valyrian ring.

Xxxxx

We spend a week sorting the good stuff from the bad. The girls leveled their Observe with it. Fay identified Brightroar. I am going to shake that Lannister down for at least two million dragons.

The little chicks are not so little anymore, we took them along in the dungeons to train their wings and flamethrower. You could tell that Betsy was proud of the little kids. We let them work for five hours and they were out for the rest of the day. That and good food made them grow fast and big.

My wives could not decide on the Valyrian ring, They selected one I made because it was worth three times more and the gem on it was of a finer cut.

On an evening Lyanna read in her book

Me: My Beautiful She-wolf, look on your nightstand, please.

Twenty minutes later

Lyanna: Eyeball? Did you put it there?

Me: Yes, I did My Lady.

Lyanna: EYEBALL! How many times were you in my room?

Me: every time you called my name on that Bracelet my fair She-wolf

Ten minutes later,

Lyanna: every time?

Me: I could not risk not to come my fair Lady. There was a chance that you really were in danger.

Lyanna: Did you look?

Me: I tried not to My fair Lady, but you are too beautiful and I could not resist.

Lyanna: EYEBALL!... did you stay and look?

Me: My wives like it when I look. And my dear Lyanna, I could not look away from you. You are gorgeous.

Lyanna: They like it when you look?

Me: You can ask it themselves, but yes. Especially when we all are in bed together.

Lyanna: Together? In one bed? Doing That?

Me: Yes dear, we love each other, and don't have secrets between us.

Lyanna: What do you do when they are showing you?

Bloody hell? Is this like phone sex?

Me: I do the same my dear and give them a good show.

Lyanna: Did you do it in my room?

Me: No, you would have noticed it, but I wanted to yes.

Lyanna: Will you come next time I call your name?

Me: Within a minute, and stay as long as you want My beautiful She-wolf.

Lyanna: Goodnight Eyeball.

Me: Good night Beautiful She-wolf

The next night she called my name. I was there within five seconds.

Xxxxx

I became a frequent visitor of that room, I put alerts and silencing wards up. Dragontongue was not as good, but still way better than a normal one.

I blindfolded her to let her select an egg, telling her to feel a reaction from it.

Egg:

Species: Valyrian Dragon, Female

Time to hatch: 4 months

Chances on successful hatching: 84%

Chances on mental health: 75%

Those Maesters did fuck those eggs up badly.

I showed Lyanna the Egg: Lyanna my love, I want you to cover this egg with your blood, and push your magic in it. And yes, you have magic, it is not strong, but it is there. Cut your hand and put it on the egg. You will have a connection when she hatches in 4 months.

Lyanna Whispered: "I can have a dragon?" I hugged her: "My girls all have one."

Lyanna looked me in the eyes: "I am your girl?" I kissed her: "Only if you want it. And you want me to be your man."

Lyanna kissed me back and said: "I am your girl, and you are my man."

New Companion: Lyanna Stark

Well, I did not expect that, but can't say I am sorry, she is more beautiful than Cercei. And can stand next to my other girls without blushing.

I whispered: Show your father the book and tell him I will be visiting in four weeks. And that the North won't go hungry again."

Lyanna: "You have that much power?" I nodded: "Yes, and Money too. Did you know that I sold rings to the Iron Bank that could not hold half of yours for a hundred thousand Dragons? Your second ring is worth more than five hundred thousand Dragons, the girls chose it themselves."

Lyanna was shocked: "That much? Do they really like me? For me, not to keep you happy?"

With a hug, I answered: "They knew from day one that you would become a sister, they even knew it before me."

Xxxxx

The girls were excited with the new sister and began planning for the trip, already recalling Hornblower to the Nest. We decided it was time to drop the disguise. I made the tour of our warehouses to show the real face, Bessaro got a good look too.

He said: "You really are the Eyeball of Deepwood. Your disguise was needed, with that youthful face you would never have met me."

I shrugged: "If I showed the Dragons you would."

Xxxxx

Betsy was glad to hatch another egg. Benny had to take care of the kids, there were already rumors in the small village of strange flying creatures at night. I did a Dumbledore and set the wardstone to neglect extraordinary events. Now, even when a dragon pisses on them they will ignore it.

Hornblower was close by, the next day he arrived. He exchanged his cargo for Pentos with the girls and loaded the ship with goods for the North. We left… I left for White Harbor, I took Dinar with me to have someone to talk to along the way.

It was a boring week, thank the Old Gods for Benny and the fun we have in the Dungeons, we finally unblocked Dino Dungeon. Benny loved to go all berserk on a Tyrannosaur.

To have to do something, I expanded our rooms a few times. About eight or nine the original size. The hallway to the rooms got the same treatment. The deck boy that was ordered to wake me was freaking out. Instead of a hallway of fifteen feet long, he had to walk hundred-thirty feet to reach my room, he almost pissed his pants.

Hornblower was not a fun guy, he made me undo the spells on the hallway.

Rumors of the metal ship even reached White Harbor, we made port on a prime spot, so everyone could have a closer look. Lord Manderly stood on the quay to receive the unexpected visitors. We greeted Lord Manderly when suddenly a knight called: "My Lord! That is the Eyeball of Deepwood!"

Lord Manderly took a long look at me and asked: "You are the squire Glover is constantly bragging about? You came a long way then if this is your ship."

I gave a mild bow and answered: "A trip can change a person Lord Manderly, I made a good fortune and am about to share it with the North. Allow me to introduce my Fiancees, Daphne Greengrass, Tracey Davis, Parvati and Padma Patil, Fay Dunham, and last but not least Lavender Brown.

Lord Manderly raised his eyebrows: "Six? It is against the laws to have multiple wives Eyeball Harold."

I laughed and conjured a fireball in my hand: "I make my own laws Lord Manderly. As a matter of fact, I follow the Old Laws. In the Old Times, life was hard and many men died in conflicts and hunts. The left a surplus of women. So many men married two or more wives, for as many they could support. I know you follow the Seven, I am of the First Men and follow the Old ways. Trust me, I can easily support my wives. My visit here is to establish a trade route and buy a warehouse. Then I will travel to Winterfell to pay my respect to Lord Stark and offer my aid to the North."

Lord Manderly looked me over and said: "So, you found a fortune? Where if I may ask?"

I took Brightroar out of my ring and showed it to Lord Manderly: "How many Dragons do you think Lord Lannister is prepared to part with for this blade?"

Lord Manderly started laughing: "That is fucking Brightroar! It was lost in old Valyria when a foolish Lannister went looking there for treasure. Prepare to receive a messenger from Tywin soon boy, he has spies everywhere. But first, be my guests and break bread and salt with me. We talk business tomorrow.

Lord Manderly introduced me to his sons and his niece, the betrothed of Lord Galbart. The sons Willis and Wendell were laughing along with me when I told them of my songs on Kings Landing and praising myself with songs.

Willis said: "Aye, you have quite the reputation there, the kids on the street play The Eyeball of Deepwood instead of the knights of the King's Guard. There are at least twenty songs about you in Kings Landing."

I grinned: "Only seventeen Lord Willis, I wrote the lyrics and music out on parchment myself and gave it to the bards. They were happy with it."

Wendell asked: "The song that you chased pirates away with ten arrows?"

I nodded: "True story, I was there, I even composed the song myself. The crew was never the same after that. They were even glad I was of the ship, can you believe it?"

Willis chuckled: "I can, I watched the archery competition, and saw you splitting that arrow with that last shot. And your fight with Ser Selmy is legendary. A boy, only ten-and-three is keeping up for twenty minutes against the best Blademaster of Westeros and wins.

The Joust, we all suspected you to fall off at the first run, but you won, you defeated three of the best knights of Westeros to achieve it. But best of all, the look on Lord Stark when you looked at his little She-wolf and rode up to him. He was ready to call his banners when you stopped before him with that crown on your lance. As you said, you found your loved ones."

Lord Wyman said: "That day is marked in History because of you Eyeball, you brought honor to your House, Lord, and Warden. All three events won by Northerners gave the southerners a black eye."

I chuckled: "I know, I might even have helped spread the glory, by donating those pages with the songs to several bards. They even sing them in Volantis. I passed the pages to the bards there myself." The Hall roared of laughter with that comment.

The next day, Daphne and Padma arranged the warehouse and trade agreements, while I warded the warehouse from pests, human and otherwise. We showed the Manderlys our ship, they finally understood our power when they saw the inside of our cabins, and instead of looking at a little boy, they were looking at a powerful figure that can change the future.

Willis, Wendell, and Niece Serena wanted to travel along with us to Winterfell, curious of what changes I will bring in History. We could hardly refuse, but the young dragons would become stir crazy if they spend too much time inside the Familiar Storage.

I suggested: we can be there today if you want. I can take you with me, but no horses, Dinar is the only one I take along because Master Greg gave him to me. I have a Teleport point a quarter mile out of Winterfell." I know! Teleporting is a major cheat. And I am milking it for all the advantages.

Daphne wrote to Lyanna the hour of our arrival… in about 30 minutes… Daphne didn't let me read the answer but said: "Take an hour for the trip, my love. Preferably a little longer.
