Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I own nothing. This chapter earns its M rating with underage interactions of multiple types.
During the third week of school, nothing particularly interesting happens before Hermione's birthday. Harry meets up with Hermione after the last class and asks her if she would rather celebrate her birthday evening with her parents or a hopefully more peaceful visit to Sylvina Hot Springs.
"Oh, another visit to the hot springs would be wonderful. We usually spend as much of the day as possible watching my choice of movies which would give me a chance to show you more of Muggle culture though... Let's stop by my house assuming you can drop in somewhere besides the bathroom," Hermione replies.
"Another evening of lessons for me then," Harry says as he opens a Gate leading to the Granger Livingroom. The rest of the evening is spent watching and discussing 'The Phantom Menace', 'Attack of the Clones', 'Revenge of the Sith', 'A New Hope', 'The Empire Strikes Back', and 'Return of the Jedi'. After returning Hermione to the Ravenclaw dorms early Friday morning, Harry spends a short time meditating before starting a few experiments based off the 'droids' and vehicles from 'The Phantom Menace' and 'Attack of the Clones'.
The rest of September and nearly all of October pass by with nothing particularly notable happening. On Halloween morning the students awake to the smell of baking pumpkin wafting through the corridors. Even better, Professor Flitwick announces in Charms that he thinks they are ready to make objects fly, something they have all been dying to try since they saw him make Neville's Toad zoom around the classroom. Professor Flitwick puts the class into pairs to practice. Harry's partner is Neville. Hermione, however, is to be working with Mandy Brockelhurst. It is hard to tell whether Mandy or Hermione is angrier about this.
"Now, don't forget that nice wrist movement we've been practicing!" squeaks Professor Flitwick, perched on top of his pile of books as usual. "Swish and flick, remember, swish and flick. And saying the magic words properly is very important, too – never forget Wizard Baruffio, who said 's' instead of 'f' and found himself on the floor with a buffalo on his chest."
It is fairly difficult. Neville swished and flicked, but the feather they are supposed to be sending skyward just lays on the desktop. When Harry tries, the entire desk nearly crashes into the ceiling despite being limited by the lack of a wand. Professor Flitwick 'suggests' that Harry put 'a little' too much power into the spell.
Mandy, at the next table, is having about as much luck as Neville.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" she shouts, waving her arms like a windmill.
"You're saying it wrong," Harry hears Hermione snap. "It's Wing-gar-dium Levi-o-sa, make the 'gar' nice and long."
"You do it then, if you're so clever," Mandy snarls.
Hermione rolls up the sleeves of her robes, flicks her wand, and says, "Wingardium Leviosa!"
Their feather rises off the desk and hovers about four feet above their heads.
"Oh, well done!" cries Professor Flitwick, clapping. "Everyone see here, Miss Granger's done it!"
Mandy is in a very bad mood by the end of the class.
"It's no wonder no one can stand her," she says very loudly as the Ravenclaws push their way into the crowded corridor, "she's a nightmare, honestly."
Hermione knocks into Harry as she hurries past him with tears streaming from her eyes.
"I see a few detentions in your future Mandy," Harry says to her as he uses his naturally enhanced senses to track Hermione's location before going to Professor Flitwick to inform him of the first-year girl's inappropriate behavior towards a House mate.
Hermione doesn't turn up for the next class and isn't seen all afternoon. On the way down to the Great Hall for the Halloween feast, Harry gets confirmation of Hermione's location when he overhears Parvati Patil telling her friend Lavender that Hermione is crying in the girls' bathroom and wants to be left alone. Knowing how rough emotional trauma can be, Harry decides to wait until after the feast to offer an ear and some advice to Hermione. The Halloween decorations don't hurt his decision either.
A thousand live bats flutter from the walls and ceiling while a thousand more swoop over the tables in low black clouds, making the candles in the pumpkins stutter. The feast appears suddenly on the golden plates, as it had at the start-of-term banquet.
Harry is just helping himself to a baked potato when Professor Quirrell comes sprinting into the hall, his turban askew and terror on his face. Everyone stares as he reaches Professor Dumbledore's chair, slumps against the table, and gasps, "Troll - in the dungeons – thought you ought to know."
He then sinks to the floor in a dead faint.
There is an uproar. It takes several purple firecrackers exploding from the end of Professor Dumbledore's wand to bring silence.
"Prefects," he rumbles, "lead your Houses back to the dormitories immediately!"
Percy almost looks to be in his element until Harry speaks up loud enough for the entire hall to hear. "One moment, everyone. The troll is supposed to be somewhere in the dungeons and half the dorms happen to be in the same direction. It might be a better idea to split the professors into three groups. The first group searches the dungeons for the Troll, the second guards the Great Hall in case the Troll somehow reaches the Great Hall, and the third group guards our Defense teacher who apparently can't handle a single Dark creature despite being a full grown and fully trained Wizard specializing in defense. Prefects, check that all students are actually here. I know at least one Ravenclaw is not and we might want to send a fourth team of professors to the hospital wing to provide aid to Madam Pomfrey and any patients she might have while I retrieve the Ravenclaw in my role as Founders' Heir," Harry says to the irritation of Severus and the embarrassment of Dumbledore.
"Very well, everyone follow the suggestions Lord Potter just gave," the Headmaster says even as the Prefects start doing a headcount.
As he makes a beeline for the bathroom where he can sense Hermione's magic signature, Harry notices that the professors split into five teams, one of them headed towards the forbidden corridor, likely to ensure Quirrell is not a diversion. Turning the corner to the bathroom, he finds proof a diversion is not needed in the form of not one but five Trolls taking turns enlarging the entrance to the girls' bathroom where a scream to rival a Banshee originates. Hermione has a rather excessive lung capacity when terrified out of her mind. Wasting no time, Harry casts Mirror Light followed by Stalker's Mark on each Troll before sending a brace of Mana Bolts at the group. Luckily, the brace of projectiles hits with even more force than Harry intended with holes or lethal chunks blown out of the torsos of four of the Trolls. Unfortunately, the fifth Troll loses its club wielding arm followed by its head just after it enters the bathroom and kills Hermione with a single swing of its club to her torso.
Harry immediately casts Revive followed by Mirror Light and Antithesis to restore her to full health though her robes are a total loss as she quickly finds out after trying to use a repair charm on them.
Just as Hermione pockets her wand, Professor McGonagall runs onto the scene followed by Professors Dumbledore and Flitwick. All three are covered in bruises and blood from apparently fighting at least one other Troll elsewhere in the castle. While McGonagall sits to rest her heart, Dumbledore and Flitwick immediately start silent-casting diagnostic charms on the general area while asking Harry what happened.
"After Quirrell taught us that Trolls are highly resistant to magic and are difficult for grown Wizards to defeat one on one, I didn't take any chances on seeing five luckily attacking the bathroom rather than Hermione directly. I used a pair of damage magnifying spells on each Troll followed by a brace of spells that I only expected to act like a stinging hex or light bludgeoning charm due to the magic resistance, but Aurorian magic seems far more effective than Wizarding magic. How many Trolls did you encounter before being drawn here?" Harry explained.
"Only three. I would give you points, but you don't belong to one of the four Houses. Perhaps an award for special services to the school," Professor Dumbledore comments.
"Hermione needs a change of clothes and her parents should be informed of the attack, so perhaps I could take her to her home while you deal with the fallout on this end," Harry says just as a girl that looks startlingly like him only naked and covered in male ejaculate appears out of nowhere beside Hermione.
"Very well, try to emphasize that this is not normal for Hogwarts and while you're at it, please deal with the dimensional traveler," Dumbledore replies.
"If I thought it was normal, I'd take direct control of Hogwarts since you and the Board of Governors would appear useless," Harry comments as he opens a Gate to the Granger living room before carrying the apparent 'Girl Who Lived' through with Hermione following immediately behind with a halfhearted effort to cover her breasts.
As the Gate closes behind her, Hermione discards the blood-soaked rags that remain of her robes and carries the unconscious girl into the bathroom just before Dan and Emma enter from the dining room.
"I must be imagining things. There's no way I just saw my shy bookworm daughter walking to the bathroom naked while carrying another naked girl and in the presence of a boy. I'm pretty sure something happened at school though," Dan says in greeting to Harry.
"I'm pretty sure I mentioned the dress code at the Sylvina Hot Springs when you grilled us on Hermione's teeth getting magically corrected. The second naked girl is a suspected dimension traveler and might even be my counterpart in her home dimension. That's the tame part of what happened at Hogwarts though and neither event is normal unless the Headmaster wants to lose his job. The pile of blood-soaked rags on the floor are the remains of Hermione's robes after five Trolls attacked the bathroom she was hiding in after a dorm mate said some rather insulting words to her. The dorm mate has already been punished and I at least will be reviewing how to handle the targets of insults and other bullying," Harry says before destroying the rags and blood with Antithesis.
"I'll pick out some clothes for the girls from Hermione's wardrobe," Emma says while Dan just returns to the dining room to finish his diner.
Five minutes later, Emma comes out of Hermione's bedroom just as a slightly damp and very naked Hermione comes out of the bathroom.
"Thanks mom. Harriet will appreciate the clothes since she was raped by three men, a spirit and a classmate before the spirit sent her here," Hermione says as she takes one set of clothes from Emma and gets dressed in front of Harry.
"I'm guessing it was Severus, Voldemort and Draco, but I don't know who the other two could be and don't want to know unless it is strictly necessary," Harry says as he turns and heads to the dining room thinking it would be best to let Emma and Hermione deal with any issues Harriet has as a result of the rape.
Once Harriet is dressed, the Grangers and Potters have a quick discussion on Firran, Wizarding, and British Muggle culture as it applies to the Birds and the Bees. As a result of the conversation, both Potters join Hermione naked in her bed for the night with the understanding they will be separated if they close the door or do anything inappropriate. In the morning, Hermione and the Potters Gate back to the Founders' Quarters in time for a quick meeting with Professors Dumbledore, Flitwick and McGonagall before breakfast. As a result of the meeting, Harriet is being 'homeschooled' in the Founders' Quarters and the three are officially assigned to shared quarters with Lord Potter acting as Hermione's magical guardian and young boyfriend.
Saturday all of the students are escorted to the nearby village of Hogsmeade to meet the new Defense professor and purchase the assigned Defense texts if they didn't already have them. The first clue something isn't right about Gilderoy Lockhart as a Defense teacher or world-renowned adventurer, is the detail that he assigned all of his books including a newly released autobiography as required for all seven years of Defense. The next clue for the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs comes on Monday when class starts with a small quiz made entirely of questions about Lockhart and none on Defense. After congratulating Harry and Hermione on perfect scores for the quiz, Lockhart reveals a cage of 'freshly caught' Cornish Pixies and warns they are 'devilishly tricky little blighters' before releasing the Pixies from the cage to terrorize the classroom. His 'Peskipiksi Pesternomi' spell leads to the Pixies stealing Lockhart's wand and tossing it out the window while poor Neville is hung off the chandelier by a pair of Pixies before Harry deals with the problematic pests by casting Serpent's Glare followed by a string of Mana Waves that vaporize the Pixies that are hit while leaving everything else untouched.
The next Defense class goes better for the students when Lockhart decides to have Harry help him re-enact scenes from 'Wandering with Werewolves'. Since Harry is supposed to be the Werewolf in the re-enactment, he uses his Primal Form created by studying the Warborn to look more like a beast. When Lockhart tries to wrestle the 'Werewolf' to the ground to cast a difficult charm one handed, Harry instead tosses Lockhart into his office proving he makes a better Werewolf as a feline than Lockhart does a Werewolf fighter.
Soon enough, a holiday Hermione mentioned from America arrives called Thanksgiving. On this Thursday, Harry is hit by a Stunner from behind after dinner. When he wakes up, Harry finds himself in the Defense classroom stripped of his waist harness and bound to Susan Bones in such a way that his genitals threaten to enter hers and take her virginity if stimulated. Nearby, Lockhart is stripping a stunned and bound Hannah Abbott having already removed his own robes with the rather clear intent to violate at least one of the young Hufflepuff girls. Warning Susan about the danger when she wakes and starts to struggle in her bindings, stimulating his genitals, Harry casts Antithesis on the bindings to destroy them and then casts the spell on Lockhart intending to disable him before he can penetrate Hannah. Just as he uses a modified Gate to send himself and Susan to her home, Harry notices that the Antithesis killed Lockhart just as his genitals came into contact with Hannah.
As they appear on the other side of the Gate, Susan is immediately hit by several stunners and her body spears itself on Harry since neither Hogwarts student had thought to get dressed before escaping Lockhart or even waiting to confirm Lockhart is still a threat.
"Hold your fire." a monocle wearing woman says when she spots Susan with blood just starting to come from her genitals. "Lord Potter? Could you please tell me why you appeared in Bones Manor... and just how you got passed the wards that usually keep out uninvited guests?"
"Wards first. I used the magic of the land I was raised in and can only be blocked by the same type of magic. As for why I came here, Susan and myself were attacked by the Defense professor along with a Hannah Abbott. Not knowing the precise level of threat posed by the well-known author, I Gated out to 'the place Susan feels safest'. Hannah should be fine other than a lack of clothing since I saw Lockhart collapse with fatal injuries from a spell meant to disable just before Gating here. Judging from the blood, I was correct in thinking Susan was a virgin before we were greeted by stunners. I suspect Lockhart had intended to cause a scandal because he had Susan bound to me in such a way as to make violating her nearly unavoidable," Harry says to the still unidentified woman.
"I am Madam Amalia Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Susan's aunt. Any chance you can remove yourself from Susan?" the woman says while signaling for the others who sent stunners at Harry and Susan to leave.
"Due to barbs, it is inadvisable for me to pull out until I can calm down down there which could be a few hours unless you intend to arrange a marriage or betrothal contract with Susan still attached to me," Harry says while using a minor healing spell to reverse the stunners.
"I'd love to be Lady Hufflepuff if Harry is my Lord Hufflepuff," Susan says even before feeling Harry inside her. "What are we going to do about Hannah though? She's my best friend and due to Lockhart, her chances of finding a decent husband among the Purebloods is ruined."
"If they can't see she was a victim in this, the Purebloods are far from decent to begin with. I'm only a Half-blood but will feel honored if she accepts a place as a Mistress of Hufflepuff...or any other position except Lady Potter which I am saving for a certain Ravenclaw who was attacked by Trolls on Halloween," Harry answers.
"I'll let Hannah know next time I see her. Auntie, write up that marriage contract between me and Lord Hufflepuff. We'll sign it when we are done," Susan says as she starts bouncing on Harry.
AN: Thanks for reading and please review. Based on a google search for 'youngest mother', Harry and Susan would not be the youngest parents even without considering magic.
