Harry was soon booted from the campus along with the rest of the staff and students. He was surprised when Miss Nekonome informed him he would be living with her.
He was a little bit peeved to learn that everyone else already knew that.
"You live in a mansion." Harry commented dryly as he stood in front of the gates of a large sprawling estate. It was all in traditional Japanese style, it was made of wood and looked like it might be centuries old… despite how well it was preserved.
Miss Nekonome laughed as she dragged him past the gates and into the building. "I teach because I want to, Harry-kun. I know I don't look much older than you, but I am nearly a century old.
"Ririko is much older."
Harry just nodded. He had a feeling that was the case. He didn't know why he had that feeling, he just did.
"It's going to be weird not seeing the others for most of the year." Harry sighed. "I'm surprised that we aren't all going to have to repeat the year."
"There are contingency plans in place." Miss Nekonome explained. "You will be tested, but you will also need to self-study."
"I read the syllabus." Harry grimaced at the hundreds of pages of reading materials that every teacher had given them. "I'm going to need to go into the city to get some books."
Miss Nekonome's home was situated a few miles outside of Kyoto, there was a small river that ran outside the back of the house.
His teacher hadn't said anything, but Harry knew that she probably spent hours out there catching fish.
*Dong*
Harry reflexively turned to the front door at the sound of the bell.
"Who could that be?" Miss Nekonome wondered. "We only just arrived."
She opened the door and sighed. "I should have expected this."
"Moka?" Harry asked as he saw the pink hair over his teacher's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, really I am." The pink-haired vampire said morosely. "But I can't go back to tomato juice… or sleeping alone.
"Besides, Inner Moka won't shut up." She glared at her rosary, snug in her cleavage.
"You might as well come in." Miss Nekonome grumbled. "Just don't take that rosary off inside. Do it away from the house." She ordered.
"Would Master like me to prepare refreshments?"
Everyone turned in surprise to see Mako standing nearby. She was no longer wearing her scandalous nurses outfit and was now in a scandalous French maid's outfit.
"Mako? Why are you here?" Harry asked, he was looking around for Ririko.
Mako bowed low. Harry was actually relieved that this new outfit, despite allowing her breasts to be displayed from this position, did not give a clear view beyond.
"Mistress has asked me to come early to prepare the home for your arrival."
"Erm… is Ririko coming as well?" Harry asked worriedly.
"What? That… cow!" Miss Nekonome was outraged.
Mako looked very angry at someone insulting her mistress, fortunately Harry stepped in. "Miss Nekonome, if this is too much of a problem I can find somewhere else to stay."
"Master, I am ready to serve- oh."
"I'll go find a place to rent or a hotel room." Harry sighed as they all saw one Tojo Ruby standing in the doorway dressed in a French Maid's outfit… unlike Mako's, this one was made of leather and was very snug.
"STOP!" The usually bubbly teacher was breathing heavily. Everyone froze as she turned to Ruby. "Tojo-san, is everyone going to be coming after Harry?"
"If you are asking if the harem is intending to stay with him, then yes."
She growled before stomping up to Harry and grabbing his hand. She began dragging him past Mako. "This is my home so I get him first!"
"What?" Harry was shocked.
"I'm in heat, Harry. I have been for weeks. I am not waiting any longer." She declared as she dragged him off.
"Fuck me."
"That's the idea!" They heard the teacher retort.
It was only seconds later that a loud angry screech was heard, not unlike when you accidentally step on a cat's tail. It was followed by three thuds.
That was followed by a very confused Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari wandering out to the entry hall.
"Why are you three here?" Moka asked curiously.
"I'm Harry's mate, remember. I need him." Kurumu rolled her eyes.
"I'm not letting Jiggly-Puff hog all the Harry time." Mizore scoffed.
"You aren't leaving me out." Yukari glared at the older girls.
"Do your parents know you are here?" Ruby asked.
"Erm…"
"Let's find Nekonome-san's phone." Ruby sighed.
"Shizuka." Kurumu said firmly. "If she's sleeping with us then I am not calling her Nekonome-sensei. We don't use Ririko's title."
"This is going to be a very interesting summer." Moka was very amused by all this.
Harry spent most of his first week exhausted. It was bad enough that Shizuka (he was not calling her Nekonome-sensei after… that first day) seemed to fluctuate on an almost hourly basis between sleeping and sex.
The other members of the harem had turned up and expected attention too.
Harry had needed instruction from Kurumu on how to deal with Ruby. The girl was practically begging to be ordered around. She'd even gone so far as to co-opt a room that she turned into a 'sex dungeon'. She had conjured and transfigured all manner of instruments from whips to full body racks.
Kurumu was only too happy to help by writing her mother and asking for relevant catalogues.
Ririko hadn't really liked Mako's new outfit, especially as Ruby was wearing something similar, so she had her thrall back in her 'nurse uniform'.
It was after that first week that things got back to normal…or what constituted normal for Harry James Potter.
The bell to the mansion rang and there was a race between Mako and Ruby to answer. Mako won simply because Ruby was hanging naked in her dungeon.
The bell rang three times over twenty minutes, each time Mako answered it until Moka got curious and went to find out what was wrong.
"There are four strange men outside." Mako reported. "I believe they are wizards, but they cannot speak Japanese so I cannot do more than try to shoo them off.
"Should I ask Mistress if I should kill them?"
Moka didn't like the sound of this. The non-Japanese speaking wizards, not Mako killing them. "Are they English?"
"I do not know. I have only seen Granger-san and most of what I saw was screaming." She answered calmly.
The bell rang again. "Go get Shizuka and Harry. Tell the others what you told me and tell them to get ready." Moka instructed.
She turned and opened the door and saw the four men Mako had told her about.
A short fat man was at their head with a bowler hat, two other white men and a monstrosity in pink.
Moka had to smother her amusement that Mako thought the pink one was a man. She was certainly not attractive, but Moka could see that it was a woman.
Though possibly not human.
"Can I help you?" She asked in English.
The man in the bowler hat and the woman looked at her with disgust as the other men leered. To them, Moka was an example of detestable mudblood standards.
Pink hair, short floaty dress.
Beautiful.
All things that you rarely found in the British Magical World.
"We are here for Potter." The bowler hat man stated with a scowl. "Send him out immediately."
"What do you want with Mister Potter?" She asked politely.
"That is none of your business girl." The woman sneered. "This is official ministry business."
"You have papers and identification?"
"I am the Minister of Magic! I am all the authority needed." He said pompously.
"Fudge? What are you doing here?" Harry demanded as he stepped up beside Moka. He was dressed in pyjama pants.
And that was it.
"Potter, you are under arrest for murder." Fudge ordered as he gestured the two men forward.
They drew their wands and approached, only to be tossed back by Moka with a simple push to their chests.
"You are not Japanese. Unless you have the required authorisation from the Japanese Government, leave." Moka ordered.
"I do have authorisation, girl." Fudge said, struggling to pull his wand, the woman was quicker, but both were shocked when the four wands went flying into the hands of a young Japanese girl with a weird wand of her own.
"How dare you!" The woman in pink screeched.
"Where is your authorisation?" Moka demanded, her hand outstretched expectantly.
Fudge nudged the woman. "Dolores."
She sneered at Moka and Harry but pulled an envelope from her purse, shoving it at the girl.
Moka looked at it and frowned. "This is a letter addressed to Harry." She informed them as she saw the kanji. "May I?" She asked Harry.
Harry just nodded.
They all just stood there waiting for the vampire to finish reading.
Fudge and his entourage seemed uncertain on how to proceed. They had no wands and this pink haired girl was very strong and there was a Japanese witch.
Moka did not look entirely pleased when she read the letter. She didn't look worried either.
"It is a letter from the Chairman." She sighed as she informed the others. "I'll hand it over in a second."
She then turned back to Fudge. "Allow me to read this to you, as I assume you are too dumb to learn a second language."
She ignored the bristling and began: "'Mister Potter, these English fools have tried to demand you be turned over to them.
"Considering the ridiculous amounts of trouble you have caused recently, I have sent them to you. Consider this payback for the damage to my school.
"I have informed the human authorities that these wizards are in Japan, I also warned them that they would not likely survive their trip.
"If you do kill them, please call the number attached and inform the one who answers that they are dead. It will hopefully make it easier to deal with anymore idiots your country sends.'" She finished and passed the letter back to Ruby.
Fudge was confused. "I don't understand. That old man said it was an official warrant."
"It is." Moka smirked. "It is a warrant, or letter of authority, for Harry to kill you or deal with you as he wishes."
She turned to Harry. "Inner Moka wishes to play." She smiled coquettishly at her boyfriend.
Harry rubbed his forehead tiredly and led Moka away from the mansion.
"I say! Where are you going? You are under arrest, you hear me!"
Fudge didn't get to say much more as Moka exploded in energy that, once again, threw the four wizards to the ground.
Inner Moka stood there proudly as she stretched her long athletic limbs, causing her short dress to ride up indecently.
"Yukari, destroy those wands."
The young witch looked at her curiously before shrugging and snapping them, much to the horror of the English magicals.
"Mizore, Keito, detain them."
Webbing shot out of the house just before their lower halves were encased in ice.
That was followed up four stunners from Harry's hand.
"So… do we eat them?"
Everyone looked at Keito in disgust.
"Would you really want to eat one of them?" Ririko shuddered. "Even if you could get past the taste, think about the cholesterol. It would wreak havoc on your figure."
Despite Keito's protests that Fudge alone could feed a cluster for a month, the decision was made to send them back.
Eventually.
First they wanted information. So they broke out the truth potion.
"Fudge, why are you trying to arrest me?" Harry asked as they stood outside, the four foreigners still bound.
"My donors are paying me a fortune to bring you back. They say you killed Lucius Malfoy."
"Do you believe Voldemort is back?"
"Yes."
"So why do you keep denying it?"
"I don't want it to be true. My donors are paying me to squash the news."
Harry rolled his eyes as Moka and Shizuka looked disgusted.
"Are you really that stupid?" Moka demanded.
"Yes."
They clearly weren't expecting that. Neither were the three other ministry officials who looked gobsmacked at the Minister's confession.
"Why did you block any investigation into Sirius Black's innocence?"
"I was paid to by Lucius Malfoy. With Black out of the way, his son was the only other person who could inherit the Black Estate.
"If Black had an heir then it would go to them."
"Anyone else got questions for the idiot?" Harry turned to his friends.
"We have no real interest in the mess happening in England." Ririko shook her head. "If he or the other wizards were a threat then logistical information would useful."
That gave Harry an idea. "Did you know about the dementors that attacked me?"
"Yes. I don't know how they came to be near you, but the human guards of Azkaban reported their absence."
"What were you going to do to Harry if you were able to get him to come peacefully?" Shizuka frowned.
"He would be shipped straight to Azkaban. He would be intercepted on the way and vanish from public sight."
"You do realise that you were setting me up to be taken to Voldemort to be tortured and killed?" Harry asked.
"Of course."
Harry sighed and sent a stunner at the pudgy bastard before moving to the woman in pink. Harry had no qualms about using the Imperious to force these people to take the truth potion.
"What is your name?"
"Dolores Jane Umbridge. Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic and the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts."
Harry raised an eyebrow. Did the woman consider her titles her name?
"Are you torturing the students at Hogwarts?"
"Yes."
"How."
"I force them to use blood quills that scar the words they write into their hands. I use the Cruciatus Curse on those who are truly disrespectful."
"Why haven't you been reported?"
"I obliviate the mudbloods before they leave."
"What do you know about the dementors that attacked me?"
"I sent them. I obliviated the Azkaban guards of the knowledge I was there."
"Why?"
"So they couldn't report me."
Harry was feeling the need for violence.
"Why did you send the dementors after Harry?" Shizuka stepped up as she pulled Harry back slightly.
"The brat needed silencing. He is a disgusting half-blood and he is smearing the good name of the Ministry."
"How?" Moka asked, clearly curious.
"He is spreading rumours that the Dark Lord is back. That makes the Ministry appear to be liars."
"But that would mean your name is not 'good'." The teacher frowned. "Harry can't be smearing your good name if it isn't good in the first place."
"The Ministry determines what is good."
Moka and Shizuka shared a look of utter disbelief.
"It makes a bit of sense." Harry offered. "The potion makes her tell the unconditional truth. According to the truth, the Ministry is literally controlling people's lives."
"It's like they are living George Orwell's, 1984." Shizuka said in disbelief.
"Huh?"
"It's a book. We'll be reading it in class next year."
"I've read it." Moka said in disgust.
"Anything else we need to ask?" Harry offered.
"I don't think so." Moka shook her long white hair.
Harry stunned the pink clad monstrosity.
He then made a mental note to never mention the pink connection to Outer Moka. He did cast a colour changing spell on her clothes to make them a drab grey.
"Keito, you can have the woman for food if you want." Harry said darkly.
The others were shocked, Harry always tried to avoid violence and killing. He still struggled with Ruby and Ririko's preferences.
"Are you sure, Harry?" Kurumu asked.
"She's torturing children. She sent the dementors to kill me."
Keito stomped forward, exposing her spider form as she moved. "I will be gone for a few days." She growled as she casually picked the ugly creature up and then scurried away on her spider legs at an incredible speed.
"You're not killing the fat one?" Mizore asked curiously.
"If we kill him, someone else will just take his place."
"Will your Imperious Curse hold him over that distance and for a long time?" Kurumu asked.
Harry shook his head. "No. I was thinking that either Ririko turns him into a thrall or Ruby and I force him into a magical oath."
"I would rather not." The lamia said as she looked at the fat wizard with utter disgust.
"Oaths it is."
It was several hours later, Harry had left the interrogation of the other two men to Moka and Shizuka whilst he took Yukari and Ruby to study vows and oaths.
Now they had what they needed to deal with Fudge.
"WAKE UP!" Harry yelled in the ear of the fat politician whilst enervating the man.
Fudge jerked in shock.
"You have two choices, Cornelius." Harry informed him. "You will take an oath, specified by us that will prevent you from annoying me again… or we kill you."
"Harry, be specific." Inner Moka smirked, her fangs on full display. "You will be eaten. Alive. By many monsters who consider human flesh a delicacy. They will-"
"THE OATH! THE OATH!"
"I honestly thought that would take longer." Shizuka mused.
"Clearly the smell hasn't reached you yet." Moka grimaced as she held the back of her hand under her nose.
"What? Eeeewwww!" The smell of vacated bowls and bladder had finally wafted to the cat girl.
Harry cast a cleansing charm and freshening charm at the man (who clearly knew what they were talking about), but Shizuka was long gone.
Fudge was released from his bonds, he tried to rub his arms where the ropes had held him, but his right arm was suddenly in the very strong grip of a Shinzo vampire.
"Remember Cornelius, you accept the oaths or we kill you." Harry said firmly. "If you break the oaths, it will kill you."
He took one look at the sharp fangs in front of him and just nodded frantically.
Harry began to recite the pre-discussed terms of the vows.
"Do you swear to never try to cause harm to Harry James Potter, his friends or family?"
Fudge was looking at Moka dumbly. The vampire gave a sharp jab of her head to Harry and he quickly blurted out… "I do! I do!"
"Do you swear to never accept bribes or cave to blackmail and extortion?"
"I do." He said, slightly forlornly.
"Do you swear to ensure that the guilty are tried and punished accordingly and that the innocent are protected?"
Fudge gulped. Lucius might be dead, but there were plenty of others who had claimed the Imperious Defence. "I do."
"Do you swear to treat all innocent beings as equals, regardless of blood, species, gender or beliefs?"
"I do." He answered quickly, considering who was holding his hand.
"Then I bind you to these oaths by your life and magic. Break them and they are forfeit."
The joined hands began to glow for a moment. Harry nodded to Moka and she released the human's hand.
"I need to shower." She said in disgust as she stalked back towards the house.
"Go back to England, Fudge." Harry ordered. "Just remember, Sirius Black is innocent, Voldemort is back and killing people and various purebloods are persecuting others illegally.
"Also, anyone who has the Dark Mark has to commit crimes and is a follower of Voldemort.
"I expect you to issue an apology to the students who were tortured by your High Inquisitor and for monetary compensation to be made to each student."
"Where's Dolores? And… what should I tell them?" Fudge asked nervously as he indicated the two unconscious aurors.
"Dolores was guilty of attempted murder and the torture of children. She admitted to this and has been executed.
"Those two men have been obliviated. Just tell them that your trip was unsuccessful. Swear them to secrecy if you wish." Harry shrugged.
"Are you done, Potter-san?"
Fudge jumped at the gravelly voice. Standing several meters away was a man in a uniform with a flat cap, leaning against a yellow muggle vehicle.
Harry nodded to the man and addressed Fudge. "This man will take you back to England. I suggest you keep your mouth shut during the trip."
Harry turned and walked off.
"Wait, what about my wand?"
The Minister for Magic didn't get a response other than sharply barked orders from the man in uniform in a language he didn't understand.
When the bus driver told the Chairman what had happened, apparently he wasn't too happy.
He had been hoping it would at least annoy Harry. Ideally he was hoping the boy would gut the witless fool who had the gall to try and order him about.
He sent Harry a very angry letter informing the young wizard of his disappointment.
Harry simply responded by pointing out that the Chairman had his opportunity to inflict pain.
What followed was a three week period where the two would exchange taunting letters, much to the shock of Shizuka and Ririko who couldn't believe the Chairman hadn't simply come down and killed Harry for his back chat.
Outer Moka had explained that the Chairman was probably having more fun than he had had in centuries.
Hedwig was getting an epic workout as she flew back and forth. Unknown to Harry, the Chairman had taught the wizard's familiar how to use the tunnel network to travel the world.
Lilith had discovered that her wings were not designed for a long flight. She had tried to accompany the owl on one trip, but had exhausted herself and been carried back an hour later, dangling from Hedwig's talons.
The only real item of note for the group was that Moka had taken her relationship with Harry a step further. She wasn't having sex with him, but Inner Moka had dragged him into the shower to help clean her after she had 'sullied herself by touching the pathetic British bastard'.
Outer Moka had started to do the same.
Harry now endeavoured to spend as much time as he could during the day with Yukari so she didn't feel left out.
Four weeks later and the bell to the mansion was rung once again.
It rarely rang.
Mako made it first again. Ruby was currently entertaining Ririko.
But still, Harry moved to the door just in case.
"Chairman-sama."
Harry raised his eyebrows as he heard the monstrel greet the visitor. Also because he now realised how short that nurses outfit really was.
"Mako-san, please inform Potter-san he has-"
"I am here, Chairman-sama." Harry said as he stepped forward and bowed low.
"Ah, Potter-san, enjoying your holiday of debauchery?" The Chairman smirked.
Harry looked down and blushed. The girls didn't let him wear a top so he spent most of his time in tracksuit bottoms for when he was training with them.
He reached behind the door and conjured a t-shirt that he quickly donned.
He got his head through the neck and froze, arms awkwardly tangled. Standing behind the Chairman were several individuals.
He carefully finished putting his t-shirt on. "Mako, inform the others we have more guests."
He then turned to the Chairman. "Would you like me to get you a seat so you can watch the fireworks?" He asked sarcastically.
He could see the pearly white and sharp teeth grin from within the concealing white cowl. "Have your servant attend me. I am sure your harem will be busy either way."
"Pup?"
Harry glared at the Chairman who was snickering. He then turned to his godfather, one of the few who was there. "Why are you here, Sirius?" He asked.
"We've come to bring you home. The Minister revoked your banishment. He even issued an apology for my false imprisonment."
"So? I am home. I am safe and happy here. What could I possibly gain from going to England? More ridicule? More attempts on my life from Riddle?"
"Riddle? Who is Riddle?" A tall black man who Harry briefly recognised as Kingsley Shackelbot from his stay with Sirius.
"That is a topic for another time." Albus Dumbledore interjected quickly. "Harry, it is imperative you come home. It won't be long before Voldemort discovers you are here and launches an assault.
"There aren't any wards here protecting you."
"There aren't even any bloody alert wards." Bill Weasley scoffed.
"Why would we want protection?" Outer Moka asked as she skipped down the steps and latched onto Harry's left arm. She had clearly dressed to look cute and unassuming.
"So you don't get killed? Really, Harry? Is this the bimbo you have taken up with?" Molly Weasley demanded.
"Missus Weasley!" Hermione Granger was shocked.
"Woman, I may have no desire to interfere, but if you insult Miss Akashiya again… I will kill you." The Chairman said firmly. Moka was the closest thing he had to a child after he had taken her in when she first got her rosary.
"Go away." Harry said with frustration. "If Riddle comes here then I will finally be rid of him. You will no longer have a reason to bother me."
He turned to the Chairman. "Isn't there anyway to speed up the repairs on the school?"
The face remained concealed as the Chairman just looked at him. "Ah, thank you, Mako-kun." He turned to the scantily dressed monstrel as she emerged with a deck chair, a small table and a drink.
"Harry, please, you're all the family I have left."
"Really Black?" Moka sneered, her cute and innocent demeanour vanishing. "Harry, Inner Moka wants out." She declared as she thrust her chest at him.
Harry grimaced as he heard the rest of the household backup. He gingerly moved to grab the rosary, resting on her soft breasts.
"Harry! Have you no sense of decorum, young man?" The Weasley mother screeched.
She was blown off her feet seconds later as Inner Moka emerged.
Harry looked at the smashed and dented front of the house. He was going to be spending so much time and energy fixing it. Maybe a few wards would be a good idea.
"Family, Black?" The now white haired and obvious vampire demanded of the wizard. "What kind of family abandons children to hell? Allows them to be taken from their care just so they can get revenge?
"You demanded he leave the safety and happiness he had made for himself, after he had been tortured, ridiculed and exiled. And where did you want him to go? Back to the same people that tortured him."
"I can assure you, Miss Akashiya, it was nowhere near as bad as Harry has made it out to be." Albus said firmly.
"You're calling me a liar?" Harry's voice was small. "Sirius?"
"I don't know what to believe anymore, Harry." Sirius sighed. "I mean, look at you. You've shacked up with dark creatures and enslaved girls as your sex toys."
"Sounds like Jealousy to me." Moka smirked as she latched back onto Harry's arm, purposefully pulling it into her cleavage.
"What do you have to say about that, Professor Lupin? As a dark creature yourself, apparently Sirius Black and Albus Dumbledore don't approve of your kind around wizards." Harry asked.
"There is a huge difference between a werewolf turned against his will and a born vampire." The former professor said sternly.
"And what would that be, dog?" Moka asked, her eyes flashing dangerously.
The cursed man had the sense to shut his gob and step back.
"Why are you here, Hermione?" Harry asked. "I would have thought you'd have learnt your lesson after last time."
"I didn't particularly want to come, Harry. I don't agree with what you have become, but, I wanted to come and say thank you. I know you must have had something to do with Umbridge. And no… I don't want to know." She said sadly.
Harry simply nodded in gentle, non-judgemental, understanding.
"Where is Ronald Weasley?" Moka asked. "I thought the three of you were inseparable."
"I would never allow my children near such evil and depraved creatures." Molly Weasley spat.
"Where is Arthur?" Harry frowned.
Tears began to form in Molly's eyes as her anger failed to abate. One of the other females that had come hugged her and pulled her back.
"Arthur Weasley was murdered, Harry." Sirius said grimly. "It's why you need to come home."
"So he can be murdered as well?" Moka clearly thought the man was stupid.
"There is a prophecy, my boy." Albus stated. "Arthur was killed guarding it. The prophecy pertains to you and Voldemort."
"Then send the bastard here." Moka was clearly losing her patience.
"You expect us to just send the Dark Lord an invitation to meet, on your behalf?" The greasy haired Snape sneered.
"You are one of his slaves, right?" Harry smirked. "Personally branded by him."
"Harry, please, be civil and respectful." Albus admonished.
The Chairman snorted into his drink. "I thought you light-siders weren't supposed to be hypocritical. What is civil and respectful about coming to a man's home and demanding things of him, and then ignoring his refusals."
"I am Harry's godfather." Sirius glared at the white clad 'man'. "I am responsible for him."
"I wasn't talking about him. I was talking about me. You came to my home and demanded I hand Potter over. You only live because I wish to have some entertainment."
"Look, just go away. If you come back… well, this isn't my home." Harry said as he indicated the cat eared teacher. "She will be well within her rights to have you… dealt with."
"You would really leave your friends to suffer and die?" Albus asked with sad disappointment.
"As opposed to what?" Moka frowned. "What do you intend to do if Harry was to return to England?"
"Well, first he would need to return to his aunt's home and the safety of the blood wards."
"And…?"
"Eventually I believe we will be able to work out a solution that will end the war."
"You don't already have one?"
"These things are complicated, my child."
Harry winced as Moka sub-consciously squeezed his arm in anger at being called that.
The vampire turned to the other girls.
"You've been translating?" She asked Shizuka.
The Nekomusume nodded grimly.
"I suggest we offer them a test. If they can get past us to Harry, and then force him to accompany them, we will not come after Harry."
Kurumu in particular did not like that idea.
Ririko and Shizuka were grinning eagerly.
"Of course, if they fail, they may never return… if they do, their lives are forfeit."
"Ha! This is what I came for." The Chairman slapped his knee in excitement.
"We did not come here to engage in barbaric acts of violence." Dumbledore said in angry, accented but fluent Japanese.
"No, you just came here to force Harry into barbaric violence." Moka sneered in English. She looked at the other English magicals. "If you are so insistent on having Harry, then you will prove you can protect him. You will prove that he is safer with you.
"Harry will wait in the house. If you can get past the rest of us and get him back to England, we will not follow. But if we win, and you ever try to harass any of us again… we will kill you."
"I just came here to thank Harry." Hermione said worriedly.
"You may wait inside if you wish." Moka said magnanimously.
"I won't fight my godson."
"I won't fight him either." Remus said firmly.
"No one will be fighting." Dumbledore said firmly. "Harry, the prophecy states that only you can defeat The Dark Lord." He said in Japanese.
"And what does the prophecy say, exactly?" Moka demanded in English, not letting the old human get away with hiding the truth of his actions.
"Please, this information is incredibly sensitive." Dumbledore pleaded.
"When was this prophecy made?" Harry asked, like Moka, he had no intention of letting Dumbledore keep more secrets.
"Before you were born."
"You had a prophecy that was about me, for my entire life and you never bothered to tell me?" Harry asked in near disbelief.
There was a scuffle behind them and they saw Mizore trying to hold a fully transformed Kurumu back. The succubus was tearing away at the ice in pure fury as she tried to get at the old wizard.
The sound of tearing material led to a massive snake tail wrapping the girl from neck to toes and the lamia harshly warning the girl in hushed whispers.
Harry and Moka turned back to the English invaders to see all except Hermione pointing wands at them.
"I'm just going to wait inside." Hermione said nervously as she scooted past everyone.
"Hermione! Are you insane?" Sirius demanded.
Hermione stopped on the steps of the house and turned back to them. "You were the ones who sent me here before." She glared at them. "They certainly weren't pleased to see me, but they ensured I got home safe and sound.
"You didn't even tell me what I would be walking into!"
She finished her trek into the house.
"Mako, go and make sure Granger-san remains safe." Ririko instructed her thrall.
The blond 'nurse' bowed low and scurried off, never realising the raised eyebrows at what she had just revealed to the English.
"Wow." Sirius blushed as he realised he said that out loud.
"Anyone else want to step back?" Harry asked. "You are pointing weapons at my friends. My family."
"B- But their monsters!" A young, black-haired woman stuttered.
Suddenly small stalagmites shot out of the ground, each one aiming for the wand, each one encasing the wand and trapping it.
Only Sirius, Remus and Dumbledore managed to dodge the ice.
That only made them unprepared for the magical summoning of their wands into the hands of an ebony-haired young woman with a short staff.
"That… was disappointing." The Chairman scowled. He stood from his seat, power radiating from him in nauseating waves. "I believe you fools need a real lesson in power and why you should respect those with it."
Harry was yanked back towards the house by Moka, they all piled in quickly.
"What's the problem? They don't have their wands so we wouldn't be in any danger."
"The Chairman can be… reckless and vicious." Moka tried to explain. "He might stick to physical attacks, but, it is smart to stay as far away from someone of his power when they go on a rampage."
"Is he going to kill them?"
The group turned to an anxious Hermione.
"It wouldn't be worth it. Wizards are less than ants to the Headmaster." Moka shrugged. "Killing them would simply make him crave more blood. I imagine he will give them a sound thrashing."
"He seems to have finished." Ririko announced from where she and Shizuka were watching from a window.
Moka headed for the door, leading the others outside.
The English were all on the floor, there was no blood, but obvious broken bones. And a lot of painful groaning.
The Chairman's whole demeanour screamed frustration. "Potter, when you have thrown these fools from our shores, I want you to ward your home with that Fidelius. The next time someone wants to come at you, they can do it at the school… where I can watch!" He then stomped off, his image fading into nothing.
Moka had taken charge. She had retrieved the rest of the wands and then snapped them. Feeling particularly vindictive, she called the for the bus driver and had him drop them outside a police station in Tokyo.
She made sure to remind them of the Statute of Secrecy.
Hermione was then driven home by the bus driver, she might not be willing to force Harry back to England, but she wasn't exactly fond of the monsters he now kept company with.
It would be several months before the school was re-opened. In the meantime, most of the girls went to visit their families. Often it was just Shizuka, Moka, Kurumu, Ruby, Lilith and Harry.
Ririko took Mako with her when she went back to check on her home.
The mansion was now under a Fidelius, Inner Moka was the Secret Keeper. It was a very interesting event where Outer Moka spent a terrifying few moments not knowing where she was until she heard Inner Moka speaking to her.
It also meant that Outer Moka couldn't reveal the location herself, only Inner Moka could. Only Harry could release Inner Moka.
Lilith and Hedwig had made an interesting and effective surveillance team. They had travelled to Tokyo, Hedwig carrying Lilith on her back, and reported back that several of them had been arrested for causing a disturbance with shouted arguments, Black and Lupin had split off from the group with Moody and a few others and headed for the British Embassy.
It took three weeks before one of them made it back to England by sneaking onto a cargo ship. It took a further month before the Japanese magicals caught wind of the foreign wizards threatening the Statute of Secrecy and swept in to arrest them and destroy the evidence.
A month after that they received a message from the Chairman and they headed back to the school.
