A/N Im still employed but the job has its issues. I work in a secondary exposure enviroment for COVID, so I have to be extra cautious. But i can still get some of these chapters out.
Again spelling issues will happen (you should see it one the first draft.) and these rarely go into direct cannon. (to me cannon means you want the original story not a fanfic.) But to each there own.
Thank you all for the reviews. I am going with A full witch with reasons as to why it is not commonly known.
Als thanks to .9279 for finding another plot hole. rita's fate(it was not a cliffhanger, just where i put the chapter mark)
and to Polarbear20000 for the Pettigrew's trial Plot hole.
ON WITH THE MAYHEM...

Chapter 8
While Bones was still shocked about the news of Rita being an animagus it was also pure luck as they had thrown Pettigrew to the dementors the shipped the body off just that morning and had yet to remove the anti magus wards.
Back at Hogwarts Harry was headed down to the Slytherin common room with the Deputy Headmistress. They stopped to retrieve Professor Snape before heading to the wall Snape was about to ask how Harry knew where to go when he saw the ring on Harry's hand. Slytherin lordship ring. (The goblins had located it and removed all curses and the vile soul piece from it) The boy was higher in the castle than the Headmaster. Harry told him before they got near the wall that one of his Slytherins had insulted a very well connected diplomat. The article in the paper clearly said a Hogwarts student and it was male. The only one who would reach out to that woman was Malfoy. Harry would invoke House command to get the truth from Malfoy.
As he walked to the wall it opened without the Password. The room grew silent as the adults flanked him and he looked right at Draco and his gang. "Draco Malfoy, in the name of House Malfoy as its Head of House I hereby invoke the House command. You are to tell the truth and be clear about it till I release the House command. Did you contact Rita Skeeter?"
He tried to fight it but everyone saw it, he finally broke, "Yes, I sent her a letter."
"Did you claim the Draken woman flirted with others?"
"Yes."
"Did you suggest that she was a succubus?"
"y..Yes, I did. That man should just die off without an heir and leave his wealth to me but now he is getting married and to a creature of all things. He could at least only go as low as a mudblood."
"Draco Malfoy. Did you know that man, Sirius Black is my Godfather by ritual?"
"yes but that means nothing…"
"Silence! It means unless he has an heir of his own then I am named heir before any other relations. You would have gotten nothing. You have insulted the Ambassador of the Draken Empire. They have ties to every Magical nation but the UK. Meaning you have aided in making the wizards and witches of the UK targets for political war if not open bloody warfare. You have one month to write an apology to Starma of the Draken Empire or else I as your head of house will have to go to the limits to ensure the house is no longer a shame to Britain."
"You can't do that, You're not a Malfoy…"
"Silence. I am doing that right now. I will be contacting your mother, Lady Malfoy-Black to inform her of your actions. If she asks for mercy then I will aid in your apology. If not then I will write my own apology and then Disown you from the house of Malfoy. Remember what happened to those deatheaters in the alley if you value your life. I release the House commands."
As he turned to leave Draco was reaching for his wand. Both Crabbe and Goyale slugged him hard enough to break his nose and knock him out. They lost their fathers to that attack. They wanted the idiot to learn from this and not get himself killed.
Harry nodded to them. "Parkinson. Do you wish to be in a marriage contract with Draco?" Her glare and openly shouted reply of 'NO' was all he needed. "So be it. I, Harry Potter-Malfoy, release and break the Marriage contract between Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. So mote it be." She smiled then did the unthinkable and kicked him hard between the legs.
She glared around the room. "I am no whore to be used for favors and will never be. I know what he promised but it will never happen. I will kill any who dare to touch me." Harry smiled and looked at the two bookends.
"Crabbe, Goyal, as you have shown good judgement in stopping this fools actions I ask if there is a reason you stay with him." They replied it was on the head of house orders and asked Harry to change those orders. Harry smiled. "Ms. Parkinson. You are also very intelligent. Would you be willing to help these two get their grades up in exchange for their very good defensive services. I bet you could train them to be gentlemen and such." She laughed and said that when the arrogant peacock was not around these two were not mindless thugs. She would be honored to have them aid her and the others when needed. The upper years were getting angry.
Snape coughed as one reached for his wand. He turned to see the Deputy Headmistress with her wand out as well as Snape's. Harry looked them over. "Let's be clear shall we. I am not little baby Potter. I am LORD Potter as well as others and in time I will hand over the Lordship to those houses, but not to any of you. Professor Snape has tried to curb your actions and the Headmaster allowed it. But this is a new year of change. The wards will be in full force from now on and any violation of the magnitude of the first night will be met with full DMLE involvement. Do not test them."

Word had spread quickly that Lord Potter was putting the full might of the law in place on actual crimes inside the old castle and that he was not above seeking the truth by available means. Any known Pureblood Heirs with Death eater relatives were keeping their heads down and even Malfoy was trying to ignore the command for the apology. He was failing as every time he started his homework he was writing the apology. His pride refused to accept it and he would throw the Parchment into the fireplace.
He avoided Pansy and her new enforcers as they had been eating better, doing better in class and even started to workout, clean up, and look presentable. He hated that now he was the lowest ranked in the house. He was reminded by some of the older ones that his future as a Malfoy did rest on him doing as commanded. He still refused it.
Dumbledore tried to call Harry into the office for his involvement in the whole ordeal but all he received was an Official missive from the Wizengamot Desk of House Malfoy stating that it was a family matter dealt with by a Head of house and that any further attempts to discuss it will be seen as a breach of Head of House Rights and will require a review by the full Wizengamot. It also included the exact Laws that covered this issue. The missive was signed by Mrs. Malfoy as Proxy and Harry as Lord and Head.
Minerva was aware of the missive and loved to see the old man trying not to glare at Lord Potter as he discussed the things being taught around the world. That discussion was also getting a lot of attention.
One Ravenclaw was looking stunned at the boy. "Wait.. you're saying that there are hundreds of Parseltongue wizards out there as well as an entire Nation of..Snake people that are born Parseltongue and learn other languages? What proof do you have for this, how do you even know?"
The boy smiled, "Before Starma walked into this very hall, did you even know that the Draken people were considered an Empire? Before the baby Legiacrus, did you know they even existed. Have you even tried to seek out any knowledge outside of the UK? Where are your biased words of doubt coming from when you are a Ravenclaw, the House of Wisdom and knowledge?"
That got a lot of people thinking but of course Ron had to open his mouth, "So why is no one arresting those Dark Wizards" He soon got smacked in the back of his head by his sister who was glaring at him. Harry however had a better answer. He asked both Patils to explain the role of Parselmouths in India.
The class after Lunch was canceled due to the length of the discussion and the facts brought out from it. Many were shocked that the Uk and mainly Britain were the only ones to accuse someone of being dark just because of the gift of snake speech. Harry also reminded everyone of last year and many looked shamed again for it. "It is not the gifts we have that make us 'light' or 'dark', it is how they 'use' that gift that determines it. Any wizard can learn to use a cutting charm. We learned it in the first year to help with our parchment. But, big fact here, any wizard can also overpower it to cut someone's head or wrists off. That would kill them. That would make them Dark. See my point of why so many things are stupid in our laws. A werewolf is dangerous one night a year, so the laws were made to isolate and hate them at all times."
He looked to see everyone paying attention, even Dumbledore. "But what if the laws were made to simply enforce that they not work for three days a month, Have access to a safe room for the full moon, and access to a healer after to ensure safe recovery. Did you know there was a law that a werewolf could not get married in the UK, even though there is no proof of a child being born a werewolf...ever."
The room fell deep in thought but someone did ask about the werewolves working with Riddle during the war. He was glad it was brought up and decided to play the old fool. "Headmaster Dumbledore, Deputy Headmistress, You lived through those awful times so please tell me how were the werewolves treated prior to the beginning of the war?"
Minerva looked him in the eye and saw his mischief. It was like Lily when she would trick the Marauders into admitting they did something. She turned to Dumbledore and looked grim. "They had so many laws against them that even the House elves were highly rated compared to them. The fact was they were told by Riddle that he would change those laws and thus they sided with him without question and were overlooked by the Wizengamot. Chief Warlock, what would have ensured they sided with the Ministry instead?"
Albus frowned as he was now the center of attention and he knew he had to answer. "If the wizengamot and the Ministry would have changed even a few laws then they would have not taken any side or at least would not have been swayed. I think it would have saved a lot of lives if they did not feel it was their only option but they had little faith in the words of the Ministry at that time."
The Quibbler had a wonderful article released that week about the differences in the Magical UK and the rest of the world. Luna had asked Harry if he could be quoted and Harry told her it had to be word for word. But he also told her that the Chief Warlock did make a 'public' statement that could be quoted as well. The fact that a couple shops had to leave a few copies of the Quibbler on their countertops (by request of the owner) increased sales. Harry had done an extra piece for Luna about how so many Nations had creatures that are not known to the UK and if one simply asked for a documentation sheet from the ICW they could research the creatures. The crazy conspiracies still brought humor but the facts balanced the paper.
The day of the wedding had finally arrived and Sirius was nervous as he paced the floor. Harry had decided to do the best thing he could. Standing straight and proud he looked at the man and clapped his hands. "Lord Sirius Black. Do you wish to be with this woman for the rest of your life or flee from her now and forever?"
"WHa.. Pup don't joke about that of course I do…"
"Do you wish to give your heart and your life for her now and forever?"
The man glared at the boy and snapped back, "Without hesitation. What do you think you're doing asking that?"
"In the presence of the Serpent King do you stand this day ready to be mated to the woman you have courted and loved all this time?"
"YES!"
Harry relaxed and patted the man on the head. "Goodboy, now stop wearing out the rug. She loves you too so this doubt is not necessary. Now I think it's time so let's go. Oh and Remus, I know you met Starma, but you have yet to meet my wife Asha. Please don't react just know I will answer all those questions the same but with Venom on my breath."
When they headed to the altar they had to remove the robes they wore. All in attendance were naked and Remus asked Harry if he was ok with it. He laughed and told the wolf his Kingly duties include Bathing and complimenting the Lamia of the Caverns. He has seen more naked breasts then most men could dream of. He has also seen enough woman bits to not be fazed as much either.
Remus held still when a Lamia slid up beside Harry before wrapping him up and hugged the stuffing out of him then snogging him. "Hello my love, I missed you too, Queen Asha Basilisk, meet Professor Remus Lupin-Werewolf." The Lamia uncoiled from around Harry and shook Lupin's hand.
"Good to see Harry does have a diverse non-wizard gathering. I am pleased to meet you and hope you will enjoy the events. You don't have to partake in the 'after party' but you must at least dance with one or two of the women. Don't worry about your inner wolf. I believe he will be pleased as a puppy to just be here and not alone."
The ceremony was very ritualistic and soon Sirius was sporting a golden rind matching Starma's. He felt very much alive and healthy even after the stay in Azkaban and he could not help but keep holding Starma close to him and she felt the same. Harry had little time away from Asha's coils but she did let him dance with some of the other girls. Remus was also enjoying the attention and dancing without care.
When the couple left for the honeymoon, Remus was talking about British Magical history and they liked his unbiased versions he had learned. One of the female draken kept close to the old wolf and Harry was waiting for them to slip off somewhere. Asha was getting frisky but she knew he would not do that yet. soon but not yet. He did make her feel better by heavy petting and 'manual release' that night. He told the draken women to be sure the werewolf got back to the Serpentin Rooms by morning.

The next day Harry was summoned to Gringotts for 'royal business' as the note said. WHen he arrived he was escorted quickly to a conference room. His eyes widened when he saw the elderly yet regal woman on the throne-like chair with the Royal crest above her. He quickly took a knee and bowed. " I lord Harry James Potter, am honored to meet with you, Queen Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith."
The woman just smiled and nodded at him. She waved him closer and gestured for a chair nearby. "Thank you lord potter, It is good to hear someone else say all that and save an old woman her breath. Now let's be clear you are in no trouble yet and after that statement I see this will be a good meeting. I have heard a lot about you from my dear friends here in Gringotts and since they know who is really in charge then they get to keep doing what they do. I see you're confused."
Harry just nodded, still a little shocked.
I am a royal blooded Witch and that means I am not on the standard Hogwarts list. Even the Ministry does not know I am a Witch. It also means I know alot going on in the Magical side of Britain but had to keep out of affairs till they truly crossed certain lines. In one oath you have not only pulled the Magicals away from being outed and imprisoned but also saved many lives of non-magicals. For that I thank you."
Harry quickly grinned and shook his head. " Then that is all I shall allow as payment for doing the right thing. I am a citizen of Britain and despite all my lines I am not a royal of Man. Now a King of Serpents, but not of Man."
The Queen just laughed as she nodded, "Well played, However you and I have a lot to discuss. I need to know your plans for the way the Nations used to be, Are you going to add the non-magicals to that plan as well?"
The meeting went on for hours but in the end the Queen of England approved Harry's plans and actions and asked to be kept informed. Harry told her there would be no secrets from her on his end. And she explained about a few wishes she had to 'remind' the Magicals that they are still under her rule regardless of magic or not. He was grinning as he thought of ways to force that point across.

Four days later Remus was about to go to the shrieking shack for the full moon but he was handed a chain by Harry and it immediately portkeyed him to a woods area. A girl nearby grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side. "Welcome to Wolfshome Woods. You need to get to a locker and stow your clothes then meet by the fire. This is neutral pack territory so be nice to everyone and follow the rules. Go over there."
He did as told and soon was naked, again, but eating a nice meal with some others and just looking confused. One of the girls sat beside him. "First time in Wolfshome Woods? Just relax. Let go and let the wolf get out and play. There are special wards to keep us in the woods, Game to hunt or chase and you're not too bad on the eyes either so maybe someone to just curl up with and relax under the moon. We can be free to be wild and not harm anyone."
"How long has this place been here and where is here?"
She laughed at his questions but shook her head. "No one but those that run the place know where it is and that makes it safer. As to how long, well forever I guess. Only the dryads on the perimeter know for sure but they keep us in and calm. This is my 3rd year of moons so I know what it's like to let it go. You will be ok."
The next morning Remus woke to a heat source in his arms. He opened his eyes to see the girl from last night cuddled into his chest. She was still sleeping but he knew she was ok. She was right, he just let go and let the wolf run and play and even chase a couple rabbits. Another had joined him and when it got close to morning they just curled into each other and slept.
When she woke and they returned to the lockers, he noticed she had a french outfit. She told him it was nice to spend the night with him and next month they should meet again. He asked if he could owl her and she looked scared. "That may not be a good idea. We are free here but I'm too close to the UK for my own safety. I have a sponsor to get me here each time but.. I don't want them in trouble for hiring a werewolf. I'm Marlene by the way."
He looked sad then grinned. "What if my sponsor contacted yours? I was shanghaied here last night but I now know why. Remus, Professor Remus Lupin DADA teacher of Hogwarts. My Sponsor is either Lord Potter or King Basilisk. Not sure which one he used but go with Potter first."
The girl jumped him and kissed him deeply. "Your Sponsor is making it better for us. He is not stupid bigot like most of British Magicals. I will ask my Sponsors if they agree. But please don't be mad if you only see me next full moon."
They parted and the chain took him back to his rooms. He sat on the bed looking around and realized he did feel better. Sore but better. Two things hit his mind, how did Harry know about it and how did the portkey work in the castle? He got up and felt the muscles protest so his first stop was going to be Madam Pomphrey.
The Great Hall was as noisy as always but for some reason his hearing was balancing out. He also noticed the other senses were not going nuts. He was going to have to thank Harry for it all but first he was really hungry. After last night and the wedding he never felt as at peace with the wolf as he did today.
Albus was looking confused as he expected Lupin to be weak and too tired for classes. He stopped Poppy as she came in in a good mood. "Ah, Madam Pomphrey, may I have a moment of your time. I was quite curious about Professor Lupin's health. Did he not come to see you after.. last night?"
The woman smiled a bit too sweetly as she regarded the man. "Why Headmaster, you do know that is Patient-Doctor privilege and if you must know then why did you not ask the man sitting right there. One would suspect that you are not privileged to that information. I will only say he is not in need of my care as we all can clearly see he is in good health." She sat at her seat and noticed Snape looking at Lupin with a curious nature.
Remus being the Marauder he was could not pass up the chance. He leaned over to Snape and grinned. "Was a great night, I even woke up with a beautiful woman who accepted me and my wolf. Maybe we should find a lovely Potions Mistress for you to improve your outlook on life as well." The tables that heard that and the look on Snape's face was too much as the room snickered or out right laughed.
The Greasy man finished his food quickly and left for classes. He had Potter that morning and had to judge how far he would push the boy. Little did he know Potter had his meal and was already in the classroom waiting for the man. "Hello, professor. Let's discuss your teaching methods. I'm going to bribe you. I have five gallons of pure Basilisk venom and can get a hold of a very concentrated sample of it as well. But in exchange for this you need to actually teach the art. We are not able to just understand it like you are, we have to be taught. That makes you a dunderhead for even thinking that way. So just to be clear about my end of the deal, (he placed a small vial with a few drops of blackish purple liquid on the desk) Test this to see if you can be reasonable." With that he took his seat and waited for the class to enter.
Snape opened the door with his wand then started his scans on the venom looking more and more worried. "Lord Potter, you did say you could get more, but I have to ask where you even found this much. Its toxicity in only this small portion is equal to the five gallon of pure Basilisk venom."
"Trade secret covered by my title, so shall we see what you can offer for your end of the deal." Harry looked calm and mellow. no arrogance, no hatred, not even a smirk. He was not playing around, he was negotiating at a level of older wizards and die hard politicians. The end of class had everyone stunned speechless as they had been instructed like a proper teacher would and told to go research a certain book before tomorrow's class.
Hermione was still in shock but heading to the library when Harry reminded her of the next class. That was funny to the rest of the Gryffindors. This went on for the next week when someone finally cornered Harry. It was a Ravenclaw who had heard the rumors about making a deal with Snape to actually teach in exchange for some potion ingredient. Lord Potter looked the upper year over while listening to him demand to know about this ingredient and be supplied a sample. That was when the fun started.
Harry stood straight and cracked his neck getting the boy's attention. Even towering over Harry he felt a small bit of fear. It enhanced when Harry's magic pulsed out flashing the image of the coiled Basilisk around him. The Ravenclaw jumped back but froze as he met Harry's glowing eyes.
"Mr. Montgomery, did you just try to intimidate, and demand a Lord of many Houses to 'give' you something you have no right nor are entitled to. Did you just demand to know about something using someone else's research? I think you will need to go straight to Professor Flitwick and tell him of this incident and let him judge your punishment, because if I did so then it would be by the Laws of the Wizengamot meant for real world crimes. Do go now and I will be informed later today if you have or have not told the truth to your Head of House." Harry turned and left the boy to slowly collapse from the force of magic in the hallway. He really did not like to do that but if asked later he would defend his actions with the part where he allowed the right parties to administer punishment.
The winter Holidays were around the corner, Hermione had been invited with her family to the Cottage which was now Sirius free as he had taken residence with Starma in the Ambassadors wing. Dobby was happy to help around the Caverns and learn many new things. He insisted on helping the Grangers and told Hermione herself he needed more to do to be happy. Harry asked her if being told off by the elf counted as 'him' being a slave. He did this in the great hall and it caused her to blush.
Neville had been invited as well as Susan and Hanna, They wanted to meet Harry's wife but he told them they had to first learn full Occulency. Certain Ligilimencers in the school are still trying to nose into his business. He did show them the upper body picture to which many of them looked shocked. A couple nosey boys turned to see it then cursed about missing out on such a 'hot chick'. Harry held his hand and wedding ring between them and they quickly apologized.
Remus had asked if Harry had been contacted by anyone from France but he had not. The poor man looked sad as Marlene was always at the Woods the past two moons but did not bring up the sponsors anymore. She was happy to be allowed to continue their relationship but said not more than that. The professor would elf express to the Cottage and wait for a guide from there. Harry boarded the train after shrinking everyone's trunk in the common room. Seamus had tried to peek into the trunk as it was being loaded only to be accosted by a very protective Hedwig. No one saw Dobby in the corner snickering for bringing the bird to the room unseen.
The ride was nice as they had Harry, Hermione, Luna, Susan and Hanna, Neville, and Ginny. Ron stayed away but did stop to wish Harry happy holidays. Ginny said he had to limit his time speaking or his mouth would get him into trouble again. He agreed with the self enforced courtesy and told Ron to have Happy Holidays as well.
Daphne and Tracey did stop by to thank Lord Potter again for correcting the issues in House Slytherin. Even though there are a few holdouts, many of the snakes are happier with the change as it does allow for actual cunning. The first years are also wanting to ask for more on the non-British ministries as they would be better than the mess being cleaned up right now.
After they left Luna had finally asked the question that everyone was waiting on. "When do we get to meet your wife, and how do I dress for an interview with a Queen?" Harry just laughed at the looks on everyone's faces. He pulled out the picture he showed them earlier then one of her full form and less coverings. Hermione looked over and asked if she got bigger over the months?
This was when he held his finger to his lips and pointed to the door. "Hello Malfoy. I see you did not do as I told you to. I did send a letter to your mother with my condolences. You were her only son after all. I do hope she can be happy with holding the Malfoy name or she could drop it since it has caused so much suffering. Please be sure to give my regards to Emperor Gantz. He is the one incharge of the Draken Empire that you just had to insult with your stupidity. Oh and I, Lord Harry Potter-Malfoy, hereby Disown you Draco No-name on the grounds of self destructive actions endangering the House of Malfoy. So mote it be."
Before the boy could draw his wand a meaty hand hit him in the side of the face knocking him out and away. Gregory Goyal leaned in and looked confused. "Sorry my Lord, I did not know if you were done talking with him." The ones in the room watched as Crabbe picked Draco up over his shoulder and walked off with him. Pansy stepped to the door. "Please do not mind us, we are merely performing a duty to ensure the safety of Magical Britain. Have a pleasant rest of your trip. Good Day my Lord."
The rest of the trip was still reeling in confusion of what just happened. But when they got to the station they noticed a large gap in the center of the platform. Harry saw Lord Black and Starma there looking very stoic if not perplexed. When they departed Harry saw Pansy approaching the Blacks.
With a bow to the two Pansy smiled. "Good day Lord and Lady Black, I hope I find you in good health, I wish to pass on a gift to Lady Black as an apology for the article that was the voice of a very small and ignorantly childish minority. I present to you Draco No-Name who aided Rita Skeeter in writing her vile words. Please accept this humble gift." She stepped back as the two enforcers stepped up and dropped Draco at the woman's feet. They bowed and stepped over to Pansy.
Starma looked confused till Sirius whispered in her ear. "I see, so he lost his House and his ties to others and you 'gift' him to me to face his crimes. I like you girl, if your family is into trade then we should talk but this gift is very appreciated." Using only one arm she lifted the boy into the air and held him out like he was nothing. "I think we could use a new worker in the forge, he either survives and adapts… or he dies. But let this be a lesson to all. Your choice of insults have great weight outside of your lands, think before you speak or write." She just held him to the side as Harry approached and gave her a big hug.
"Hello Aunt Starma, I like the new robes, very well styled. Oh I see, so that's where the boy went. Thank you Ms. Parkinson, Mr. Crabbe, and Mr. Goyel. You are a wonderful example of Proper and Upstanding citizens." The crowd all heard the words and nearly laughed at how the old minister kept claiming the likes of their 'known' Deatheater parent were.
As they headed to the portkey point Harry looked at the other boy and shook his head, He had done a lot of that lately. 'one would figure I would expect it all by now.' Dobby popped them away as they held a rope to look like a portkey. Even used a flash charm.
888888888888888888888888888888
Once they arrived Harry jumped away from them and then jumped into the air, at the right moment for Asha to glomp him and coil around him while in a hug. "HARRRYYY." Her lips crashed into his and he kissed her back with the same fire. He had his arms behind her pulling her close as her tail held him just tight enough. When they finally broke to get needed air, the room clapped. Harry turned red and smirked as Asha did not even care. She was refusing to let him go.
Starma asked one of the guards to place the new slave-boy in restraints and strip him to his under coverings. They were led to a table as Asha used half her tail to slither her and Harry to it. He was not getting out of those scales anytime soon. He did get to turn to eat and fed her too since she was behind them. It was a cute sight to see and even Sirius got into the act.
When discussions of the winter visits were started it was agreed to let certain ones come over for a two day visit. The Grangers if willing could take a room in the Diplomatic wing near Starma and Sirius. The others can stay at the Cottage and Asha can meet them there. He would send out letters to see what they would agree on. Dobby would deliver to the Grangers while Snip and Snap (yes he finally named them, Hedwig liked the names too) would go to Longbottoms and Bones. He would send a letter to Greengrass and Davis as part of the yule and christmas but that would be for a different arrangement in the summer. He decided to send Hanna's invite with Neville to give him a reason to go see her.
That night Harry was let go but just to get ready to go to the Bathing pools, he wore only his loin cloth and soon saw Sirius and Starma on the way. "Harry, my Godson. I trust you to be a proper man while sitting in a pool with all these lovely women and my even lovier wife. Oh, don't hold back with telling her how amazing she looks."
Harry hissed into his hand and a rolled up newspaper appeared. He smacked Sirius on the head, "Bad boy, no begging for treats or compliments for your wife. I know she is gorgeous in her own amazing way. I have seen it. And will again while you're surrounded by macho male Nagas." Asha took the paper and smacked Harry on the head then vanished it.
When he was done with washing himself he helped Asha and even carefully helped wash an older Lamia who could not get her back. He was happy to show he cared for his People. 'His People' well that was a nice thought and more true than back in Britain. He was loved for being himself. even if not King he would be loved by these people. Asha was letting the girls do their flirting and Harry was giving them a good eyeing. He even asked one of them if she had a growth spurt. That made her really happy, he noticed. Others looked happy just to see 'his tail on the wrong side' was growing too. He still chuckled at that himself. The older ones knew what it was but let the young ones figure it out. As they emptied out and only a couple of Lamia and Starma were left, one of the Longfang clan slid up to the royal couple.
{My king..I ask a favor...A personal favor. I ask the Queens indulgence as well. I...I am of the age to raise my own hatchlings but I….I am unable to. I was hoping it was just my age but the healers say it may be something more. I was told to ask for a royal blessing of seed to see if it may be that difference.}
Harry looked confused but Asha slid to the girl. {You speak of Hatchlings, you are of age but are you sure you truly want that. I ask because my King is still young and If you truly want for a nest of your own. Then you must wait. Can you wait to see if it is the seed that is the issue?}
The Lamia nodded and hugged the Queen, then Harry, before leaving. Harry called for her to wait. He walked over to her and looked in her eyes. He knew the look of self doubt and he did not like it on her face. He smiled and kissed her cheek. {You did not let me tell you that you are very pretty and I will do my duty to ensure the happiness of the Nation. You want hatchlings to love and raise and teach to be as great as your clan. Let my body grow another year and then let me be with my queen first. When we are ready we will let you know.}
The Lamia left in higher spirits and Harry returned to the water he was still feeling off from the train ride. Starma walked up and as he turned and opened his eyes he was looking right between her thighs. #I see that I have to not want to turn away or I will insult you but why allow me such a view to your womanly core?#
#You are a man as your dick reacts to this, yet you asked her to wait and you have not consummated with your wife. I had to test you and I see you are going to be a very strong male. Thank you for the honor of such a reaction. Now tend to your wife before she takes advantage of the reaction.# She left them there enjoying just holding each other and floating in the pool. Harry noticed the oldest one was still there on the edge with a content smile. He also noticed she was no longer breathing.
He waved Asha over and stepped out to the old woman's side and kissed her forehead. {Go to the great lands beyond and share your peace with the magic of the worlds.} Ahsa slipped out of the pool to notify some Naga and soon they placed the elder on a sheet with Harry holding the end. She would be taken to her clan for Burial. They would miss her but after seeing her smile and hearing her last hours were in the company of the king who washed her back for her, they felt honored.

A/N ok sad ending but it holds more meaning to his role as their King and opens the path for better understandings later.
