The moments following Voldemorts departure from the school were very hectic with the students in a state of panic when Dumbledore, in fear of his students safety, ordered for all students to return to the Great Hall and all classes for the day cancelled to do a security sweep of the castle, asking Lily and Marlene to watch over the students. Lily offered to call over her family members and send half of them on the sweep with the professors and stay behind with her sisters to protect those in the Great Hall, which was gratefully accepted.
"I can see why you love this place so much Lils, it's beautiful!" says Paige as she orbs in with her sisters and their husbands (partner in the case of Andy and Prue), with her own husband Henry offering to stay behind with the children of the family and getting help from Viktor (Prue, Piper and Phoebe's father) and Sam (Lily and Paige's father).
"Minnie!" Sirius and James bellow, a playful glint shining in their eyes while Remus gives the woman a respectful nod and smile.
"Potter, Black, Lupin, it's a pleasure to see you all once more" says Professor McGonagall with an exasperated smile. It was decided that the partners of the Charmed Ones, Sirius and Remus would accompany Albus and the professors on a sweep of the castle (Professor Snape grumbled at this, which confused Harry, didn't his mother say they used to be friends when they were younger?) while Marlene and Lily stayed behind with Lily's sisters to protect the students.
Before they left the room however Albus turned to Harry.
"As Lord Hogwarts, would you wish to accompany myself to the Ward Room? As the owner of the school, you'd be able to strengthen the Wards to what they used to be when the school was first built, a near impenetrable fortress of learning." Harry nodded dutifully.
"Of course Headmaster, however I would appreciate if those who are betrothed to these lines to accompany me so they know the process should they need to do so in future" Harry said. These girls, minus Padma due to her recent Soul-Bond, stood and walked to Harry, though the red-headed first year he had yet to meet looked up at him with tears in her eyes and Neville, Harry noticed, looked on from the distance in worry.
"Is everything ok Ginny?" Harry asked, placing a soft and soothing hand on her shoulder, thanking his Aunt Phoebe telepathically for sending calming waves of emotion through her Empathy to the young redhead.
"I'm so sorry my Lord, but last night, when getting to know my new classmates, myself and Heir Longbottom initiated a Soul-Bond, I've broken our contract" she cried.
Neville looked apologetically and guiltily over towards his god-brother, hoping to high heaven he wouldn't cut ties with him, forcing him to lose the first best friend he ever had.
"Don't worry about it Ginny, Padma was originally betrothed to House Ravenclaw and as you can see, she has not joined us due to the fact that she also had a Soul-Bond last night. There is no reason to worry, there is even a second contract in place for House Hufflepuff in case our contract fell through. I'll need to speak with her privately later on, no need to out her right now here all can see" Harry says with a soft smile, hugging the girl gently when she practically crushes him with her own in relief.
Harry then turned to the two girls remaining in his presence, Susan and Tonks, and said to them
"So ladies, are you ready for your first duty as future Ladies Gryffindor and Slytherin?" Tonks smirked softly at him
"Why Harry, you're a touch too young to already be propositioning we impressionable ladies by asking us to perform our 'duties' aren't you?!" she said in faux shock. Susan joined her her laughter when Harry's entire skin turned as red as a tomato, his metamorphmagus ability from his Black heritage making itself known.
"Shall we be off then my liege?" Dumbledore asked, a twinkle much similar to Harry's father and god-father's in his eyes. Harry grumbled to himself about meddling old fools as he followed his grandfather out of the Great Hall, leaving the five Halliwell sisters looking on with pride at the young man they had all helped to raise.
Albus lead the three to his office but stopped just a couple of feet before the griffin. He turned to the three students and said
"This part of the wall hides the ward room, only the Headmaster, Deputy, Lord, Lady or Head (as in the professor who's the head of one of the Houses) of any of the four houses may enter this room. For Hogwarts to let you in the Fidelius that's tied to the Magic of the school itself you need to claim your status within the wards of Hogwarts itself." Harry looked at the two girls before, with a nod, he proclaimed to the nearly empty corridor
"I, King Harry James Potter-Peverell-Halliwell-Warren-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Hufflepuff-Slytherin-Pendragon Le Fey, also heir of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black, do herby claim my title as Lord of Houses Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin." On the young boys hand, his Lord rings for each House flashed over each other as he said each one before an ancient wooden door materialised in front of his eyes.
"I, Susan Amelia Bones, Heiress to the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Bones, do hereby claim my title as the future Lady of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Gryffindor" in a flash a ring on her left ring finger. The ring had a ruby held in between two sparkling diamonds on a simple silver band.
"That's the official engagement ring of Gryffindor! It looks like your declaration made you betrothed Heiress Bones!" Dumbledore exclaimed in shock, not expecting the Magic of House Gryffindor to activate the engagement so soon. Tonks looked on in shock, shook her head to clear it, then said in a clear voice
"I, Nymphadora Tonks, daughter of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black, do hereby claim my title as the future Lady of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Slytherin." The ring that appeared on her own left hand ring finger was a Celtic band that wove around her finger with small diamonds all around the band and a large emerald stone held by four silver prongs connected to the weaving band and set out of the ring but in between the bands themselves.
The door soon materialised into sight for the two females in the corridor and the group of four people walked into the room and in the centre of the room is a half pillar with glowing runes all around the surface.
"This is the ward stone, though the people i had mentioned before are able to lend their power to strengthen the wards temporarily, this lasts year long and need renewing the day before term starts, only the Lords, Ladies or Heirs of the founding Houses can strengthen the wards and keep them like so forever." Harry was suddenly struck with an idea at this statement made by his 'grandfather'.
"Professor, I just had a thought. Seeing as I have the Ravenclaw Lordship through my mothers family, that means I gained it from the Halliwell and Warren lines, yes?" Harry asked the aged man, who nodded and confirmed his suspicion.
"I'm going to ask Professor McGonagall to get some professors to go to the Great Hall and ask my mother, aunts and cousin, maybe even my younger cousins, to join us as members of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Ravenclaw, to add their own magic to the wards. I believe that The Power of Five, enhanced by my Augmentation power, can even make the wards the strongest they've ever been and ever will be." Harry explained to the group before doing so. Harry left the room and stood out in the corridor what every one needed to do before they gained access to the ward room and the ward stone itself. A moment later Harry walked in followed by his mother, his four aunts, and his eight cousins.
The large family crowded around the ward stone and each placed a hand on the ward stone and pushed their magic from their hands and into the ward stone. After a minute of doing so Wyatt orbed his brother, sister and his younger cousins back home and returned to the room. Harry, his mother and aunts then linked hands, with those on the ends placing their free hands on the stone before Prue said to them
"Seeing as we normally use spells to fuel the Power of Three, Four and Five, I thought we might use one in this instance so I looked one up in the Book of Shadows. Repeat after me" the others casting the spell nod and all six people chant
"Ancient Magic of our line, we call upon your help divine. From the tallest point to the lowest of the base, all across its lands we ask to protect this place" As the spell had been finished being chanted by the six people a rush of magic rushed from the room to surround the boundaries of the school and its land and created an intangible and invisible dome that formed the wards of Hogwarts.
Albus smiled in thanks and said to the group with him, as Tonks, Susan and Harry finished adding on even more magic to the protections laid down and said conversationally to the group of people that he had never felt the wards at this strength. When the group returned to the Great Hall Albus announced to the students that the days lessons had been cancelled and bade them all well after assuring them all that the building is safe.
"Harry, Hedwig came with some letters while you were gone, she assured me that they're important and you need to read them right away!" Hermione said as he and his fellow Hufflepuffs walked to their common room and their personal 1st year common room to spend more time with one another. Harry took the letters from his mate and smiled at her in thanks for taking care of them before him before tearing open the first, which had the Royal Seal of France on the back of the envelope. The letter read
King Potter-Peverell-Halliwell-Warren-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Hufflepuff-Slytherin-Pendragon Le Fey
I am writing this is hope of meeting you this Saturday if that is agreeable. As the future Head Wife of your family, I thought it might be a good idea to meet yourself and my fellow future sister-wives so we can build a healthy relationship between us all.Mon Pere, le roi de France magique, has offered to escort me to your school, Hogwarts, to meet with yourself, your mother, and your other future wives.I have also been offered a place in your school and am planning to meet with your Headmaster to discuss a possible transfer, and the possibility of having tutors for the subjects that your school does not teach that I would be missing out on.
Votre future reine
Princesse Fleur Delacour
P.S As I finished writing your lettre this beautiful White Phoenix came to me telling me faintly telepathically that she is your familiar. I can't wait to meet and get to know you, it'll be nice to have some friends except ma souer.
Harry quickly took out a piece of parchment, a quill and some ink and immediately started to write his own reply to the future Queen. After he finished writing his letter to the French girl, Hedwig flashed in, trilled a small song while picking up the parchment and flashing away to deliver his reply saying he'd love to meet and get to know her. Harry and his fellow classmates sat and got to know each other a bit more, explaining their families and what not, soon it was Harry's turn.
"Ok, so for the first year of my life I was raised by my parents before their murder then was placed with the Dursleys, my mothers adoptive sister (though that wasn't known at the time), her husband and their son who's the same age as us. When I was four Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore came to check up on me because they had a close relationship with my parents before their death and it was revealed by Petunia Dursley that my mother was adopted by her parents and she was, in actuality, a Halliwell. So the Professors tracked my real family down and they raised me. I lived with my Aunt Phoebe mainly, she could do her work from home and my Uncle Coop only needed to be gone for a short time with his work as a Cupid.
"When I was 9, the Elders decided to reward my Aunts for all of their hard work in defending the world from evil and returned their eldest sister Prue, and my mother (born Pandora but who goes by Lily) as Whitelighters. Then on the day I received my Hogwarts letter and we went to Diagon Alley, we learnt many things, such as the fact I am Lord of several different Houses and the King of Albion. The Elders then decided to raise my father from the afterlife, also as a Whitelighter, and gifted my mum and Aunt Prue their wiccan, and wizarding in my mothers case, magic back. I have four Aunts, Auntie Prue is the eldest, she doesn't have any children yet because her boyfriend, Andy, has only just been made a Whitelighter and had been dead for quite a while before that. Then there's my Aunt Piper and her husband Uncle Leo. They're Wyatt's parents and have two other children Chris and Melinda. Then there's Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Coop and their children, Pruedence Junior, or P.J as we like to call her, Parker and Peyton. Finally there's my mum's twin sister Auntie Paige and her husband Uncle Henry and their children Tamora and Kat and their adoptive son Henry Jr." Harry explained before going on
"All of my aunts and their children are Wiccan Witches and my Uncle Leo and soon to be uncle Andy are Whitelighters, my Uncle Coop's a Cupid and my Uncle Henry is a mortal. My aunt Prue's powers include Orbing and Healing due to being brought back as a Whitelighter who can use her Wiccan abilities which are Telekinesis and Astral Projection. Aunt Pipers powers are Molecular Immobilization, or freezing stuff, Molecular Combustion, or blowing stuff up, and Molecular Acceleration, which speeds up the molecules and cause stuff to catch fire or melt. Aunt Phoebe has the powers of Premonition, Levitation and Empathy. My mum's Powers haven't really fully developed because her Wiccan Powers never came to be during her life, and only became Active this year, as a Wiccan with Whitelighter Heritage, she had the power to Orb and Heal, however now that she is a Whitelighter she has those powers and the Wiccan Powers she would have had, which so far only include Atmokinesis which is control of the weather. Aunt Paige has the powers of a Whitelighter, Telekinesis, though hers is used through Orbing rather than pure Telekinetic energy and creating a force-field out of Orbs.
"Wyatt is the eldest of the next generation and he has the powers of Orbing and Healing for now, but before The Elders bound mine and his powers he had, and will have again, the powers of Projection, which is the ability to manipulate reality. Telekinesis, like our Aunt Prue, Telekinetic Orbing like our Aunt Paige and creating an Orb Shield like our Aunt Paige. Then there's me, and I currently have the powers of Telepathy and Augmentation, which is the ability to make other abilities stronger and I'll eventually get the powers of Elemental Manipulation and Orbing back in the future. Next is Chris, he's got the powers of Telekinesis and Telekinetic Orbing like his elder brother, he should be getting some more powers soon hopefully. Melinda has the powers of Telekinteic Orbing like her brothers so far, though she's still young and all of her powers haven't come in just yet. Tamora and Kat are next and they have powers similar to Aunt Piper. Tamora has Molecular Acceleration like Aunt Piper while her twin sister Kat has the Power of Molecular Deceleration, which slows down the molecules for stuff to move in slow motion in simple terms. The Elders have predicted that the twins powers will be expanding to that of Aunt Pipers powers of Molecular Immobilisation and Molecular Combustion respectively. P.J has the powers of Beaming, which is the Cupid's form of Orbing, Remote Beaming and Sensing, which is the ability to magically locate and know the location and status of others. Then there's Henry Jr, he's a mortal like my Uncle Henry and he's adopted so he doesn't have any powers. Next is Parker who is too young right now to be showing her own active powers so far, as is the baby of the family, Peyton." Harry's fellow classmates looked at him in shock over the fact he has such a large family. The group of first years spent the rest of the day getting to know one another, which eased Harry's mind about getting along with his peers, especially some of those he's betrothed to like Susan, Hannah and Hermione.
Another flash, and in came Hedwig with another letter in her talons.
"Hey girl. You got a reply for me?" Harry asked as she dropped the letter on the table in front of him.
'Hello Harry, I was wondering, don't you owe a reply to Hagrid about meeting at his house later in the week for lunch?' Hedwig asked him through their familiar bond.
"Of course! I knew I was forgetting something, do you mind running this note to him please?" Harry asked, quickly writing a note saying he'll fetch his mother, cousin and two friends if the friendly half-giant didn't mind. Hedwig took the note and flashed away, only to return in a moment with a scribbled note from Hagrid noting his consent. Harry then opened his letter that was delivered by his Phoenix familiar.
King Potter-Peverell-Halliwell-Warren-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Hufflepuff-Slytherin-Pendragon Le Fey
I am writing to you concerning our agreement in the summer time to meet and discuss the future of our two races and the peace agreement forged by my ancestor and your government instead of a Royal such as ourselves. I am free this coming Sunday if that is agreeable with yourself?I have discussed and gained approval from your Headmaster and your parents to have a representative, my nephew (and your Charms Proffessor) Filius Flitwick to accompany you to my office in Gringotts at midday.Is this agreeable with yourself?
Please write back with your answer soon
King Ragnok the Eminent of the Goblin Nation
P.S As I am also Managing Director of Gringotts it has been decided that due to our kinship, and our possibly future friendship, that I am now the Account Manager for all of your Accounts, including those of the Halliwell and Warren, but not including the Black Family, who's Lord has decided to stay with their current Account Manager.
Harry took out a piece of parchment and quill and wrote
King Ragnok the Eminent of the Goblin Nation
Such a pleasure to hear from yourself and I'm hoping this letter reaches you in good tidings. The answer is yes, I am agreeable to meeting yourself in Gringotts on Sunday.I am assuming that Professor Flitwick will be collecting me at midday from the Great Hall? I am looking forward to my first duty as King of my people and meeting you to discuss our respective races futures.
Hoping you are well
King Harry James Potter-Peverell-Halliwell-Warren-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Hufflepuff-Slytherin-Pendragon Le Fey
As Harry folded the parchment and placed it in an envelope, he folded the lip down. Once the letter was securely inside the envelope, his Pendragon-Ley Fey House Ring faded in on his hand and Harry knew he had to hold the ring at the point where the lip of the envelope meets the body. He done so and he felt Magic rushing from the ring and saw a wax seal bearing the Pendragon-Le Fey Family Crest holding the lip and body sealed together. Hedwig, happy to be of service for her familiar, took the letter in her beak and flashed away in that brilliant white light of hers.
The rest of the week seemed to fly by for Harry and his peers., with very little of note happening except for two instances in Harry's eyes. The first came on the Tuesday, the first time he had a Practical Herbology lesson, which Hufflepuff's took with the Slytherins. Harry and his friends had just walked in from a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, now being taught by the Headmaster himself for the time being. James, while he was scouring the castle for Voldemort after the dark wizard had attacked his son, had detected a remnant of Voldemort's magic and had Piper, Phoebe and Paige to use the Power of Three to dispel it from the castle and thus, broke the curse placed upon the role of DADA teacher. The event that Harry's recalling is his first encounter with the future Lady Black, Daphne Greengrass. The girl has long blonde hair and icy blue eyes. She walked towards Harry with a stony expression on her face.
"Your Majesty" she said with the smallest curtsy humanly possible. Harry regarded the blonde with a thoughtful expression.
"Heir Greengrass" Harry replied, with a polite nod, noticing that Theodore Nott and his cronies Crabbe and Goyle were looking on with deep scowls.
"I'd like to speak with you in private if you don't mind" she replies, with a nearly unnoticeable look of fear in her eyes. Harry gave a sly pointed look towards the three Slytherin boys who'd been harassing Draco and she gave the slightest of nods.
"Of course, how about we walk to lunch together? I'm sure my classmates don't mind going on without me" Harry said with a smile and cheery tone. Daphne sighed with relief and with a nod, walked back to the black haired Tracey Davis and the tan skinned Italian born, Blaise Zabini, who shot a small, calculating look at Harry.
At the end of the lesson, the Hufflepuff first years strolled off together, Hermione, Susan and Hannah casting a look back at their betrothed, who stood waiting for Daphne to separate from her friends outside the Greenhouse. Nott, Crabbe and Goyle shoved past the king, who froze them in place by pulling on Pipers power.
"This your final warning gentlemen. Remember, not only can I end your education with but a thought, i can also have you punished for disrespecting your King. You go near my family or friends and do something against them again and you'll be out on your arses within a quarter of an hour" Harry said before cancelling the power freezing the trio, who scarper off quickly in terror.
"Impressive" a voice says behind him.
"Thank you Miss Greengrass, they shouldn't bother you again hopefully." Harry replies, turning to look at the blonde.
"What was it you wanted to talk about?" Harry asked the young Slytherin as they began their walk back up to the castle.
"As I am sure you're aware, we are betrothed to be married through a Marriage contract with the House of Black as you are the named heir by your Godfather, the current Lord of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black. I wished to talk with you, to gauge you really, see what type of man I am to marry." Daphne admitted, her eyes seeming cold to Harry, who pulled on his Aunt Phoebe's power of Empathy to sneak a look at the Slytherin's emotions.
Harry proceeded to talk with Daphne, as the two got to know each other, each hoping to build a friendship with one another. The two walked back to the castle together, though separated when they met their respective housemates to go to lunch to prepare for the next class, which happens to be Potions with the Ravenclaws.
Harry's potions class went a lot better than expected. He had been warned by his mother and father than the Potions Professor, Severus Snape, was an old friend of Lily's but an enemy of James' and he holds a grudge towards the father for years of dislike and for winning the heart of Lily, who he'd been in love with. Lily had already spoken with Severus, as had James, and they had cleared the air between them, and Snape had assured them the ill feelings he held for them had gone with time as he had developed feelings for the mother of his godson, Narcissa Black (nee Malfoy). Harry however was weary, he had heard from Tonks about the attitude of the man, but had also heard from thoughts of students who had lessons with Snape that the man seemed like a new one, he'd had a personality transplant according to one student who passed Harry while he was on his way down to the Dungeons.
Harry himself had soon experienced this new personality himself as he picked up on Severus's thoughts when he first saw the young King.
'He looks exactly like James, but from what I've seen and heard from teachers he had already had, is more Lily than anything.' Harry smiled to himself privately, relishing in the fact that people had been commenting how alike he and his mother are in personalities.
'I just hope to Merlin that he hasn't inherited her temper' Harry heard Snape think again, which Harry had chuckled at. Apparently he and his mother had inherited the temper of the Warren/Halliwell line, his Aunt Piper is infamous for her temper, especially when his Aunt Prue had died and she'd turned into a Fury because of her anger at Prue leaving her and Phoebe.
"Good Afternoon class, my name is Professor Snape and I am your Potions Master. Potions is a subtle science, and many claim that this isn't magic, even squibs and muggles can brew potions you see, but the magic of Potions is just that, anyone can brew a Potion. I will be working with Professor Potter and her sisters to teach you not only Wizarding potions such as the Blood-Replenishing Potion and Felix Felicis as well as Wiccan potions such as a Vanquishing Potion and a Blinding Potion, which is of the Charmed Ones own invention may I add." Snape said as he stood in front of his first year class of Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs.
"So first things first I am going to write down the ingredients of the first Potion we shall brew in our Session on Friday, which is the Cure for Boils. I will then be explaining the properties of each ingredient and why they react the way they do when cooked the way we shall be doing it. So everyone please take out your quills and parchment"
Harry and his friends continued on through the week attending their classes, with each one of them impressing a teacher in their knowledge of the subject they were currently being taught. Lily felt especially proud of her son and her nephew, as she was telling them both on their way for the meeting Harry and Princess Delacour had set up with the other future wives.
"The two of you have really upheld the family name and pride in classes. Every Professor who's come across either of you haven't stopped raving about the two of you and your housemates abilities."
It was decided that Wyatt should come along to offer support to Harry, as though he'd already met most of his future wives and has befriended them, he was extremely nervous about meeting them all.
The one he was most nervous meeting was the Princess, Fleur Delacour. Her father, King Jean-Luc Sebastien Delacour II, had written the young Hufflepuff and had requested that Harry, as Fleur's betrothed, escort and sit in with her meeting with Professor Dumbledore for a transfer from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts. Harry, his mother and his cousin stopped outside the door to Lily's classroom. Professor McGonagall had suggested that they use a classroom, in fact had offered up the use of her own. Lily had stated however she believed hers would be the better choice as her sisters have a direct Floo connection to her office and she thought it'd be easier for them to call her in case of a demonic emergency they need her help with.
Harry braced himself then walked in the room and saw all 7 of his betrothed waiting in the room. Hermione, Hannah and Susan all sat together facing Daphne and the replacement contract now that Padma Patil is soul-bound to another, Daphne's best friend Tracey Davies. Ginny Weasley's replacement contract, and her fellow Gryffindor, Katie Bell sat with Tonks and Fleur, all three chatting animatedly, though what Harry wasn't sure and didn't wish to use his Telepathy on the elder teens just yet. As he and his two family members entered the room, all eyes turned to him.
"Uh, Hi" he said with a shy smile to them all. Fleur stood first, and approached the young King. She curtsied and said with a friendly tone, and hardly any accent,
"Your Highness, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." Harry took the French teens hand and kissed her knuckles softly, as he was instructed to by his mother earlier in the day in preparation for meeting the young Royal.
"The pleasure is all mine, Princess Delacour"
"Please, call me Fleur" she said with a small blush on her pretty face.
Harry walked around the room and introduced himself, his mother and his cousin to those he hadn't yet spoken to (Katie and Tracey) and took a seat on a table large enough to sit all of the rooms occupants. Harry looked around at the young women and gathered all the courage he could muster and said, in a quiet voice,
"Hi"
Wyatt began laughing, as did Lily.
"What's so funny?" Katie Bell asked, her eyes blazing protectively, though why she felt protective of the young First Year she had only just met was beyond her.
"Sorry Miss Bell, it's just the fact that Harry is one of the most courageous people we know. He has fought many demons in his lifetime, even more than I have myself, and when he's in a room full of women he's to marry, he's terrified" Lily replied, kissing the side of Harry's head affectionately who glared mockingly at the red-headed woman.
"You've fought demons before Harry?!" Tonks asks in awe, all the Hogwarts students had been accepted on Lily's courses and she, along with the rest of the rooms occupants had received their Demonology and Wiccan Magic classes and had already learnt of the many threats they face in the Magical world.
"Yeah, it's not really that big a deal, so has Hermione" Harry said, trying to push some of the attention away from him.
"But not as many as you I bet Harry, you even fought He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named this week and lived to tell the tale yet again!" Hermione retorded, seeing what her Bonded was trying to do.
Harry and the other occupants of the room carried on talking with one another and socialising. As the time they had set for the end of their meeting one another was coming to a close, they agreed to meet again in a fortnights time officially and those who were already friends agreed to spend more time with one another to ease their future relations as sister-wives in adulthood.
"It is time for my meeting with Headmaster Dumbledore now" Fleur states as she rose from her chair. Harry rose with her and said goodbye to the other girls and his family members and waited at the door for the young princess. Harry and Fleur walked together to Dumbledore's office and entered after relaying the password to the Griffin guarding the door.
"Princess Delacoure, a pleasure to meet you!" Albus says with a smile as he closes the door after the two royals.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, the pleasure is all mine, I assure you" Fleur says confidently.
"Let's cut to the chase shall we Princess Delacour?" Albus asks
"Please, call me Fleur, Headmaster. Now I would like to accept your gracious offer to study here but I do have some conditions" Fleur replied, setting a serious business look on her features.
"First is that I begin in the year that I left Beaxbatons in, which is my 3rd year and be in at least one class with Nymphadora Tonks, my future sister-wife. Second is that I am allowed a tutor in the subjects that I will be leaving behind in Beaxbatons such as Medical Magic, Wandlore and Alchemy." Fleur stipulates as she looks at the aged Headmaster, a determined glow set in her sapphire eyes.
"I myself a master in Alchemy and Wandlore, and our own Mediwitch is the renouned Poppy Pomfrey, the famed War hero from the War against Grindlewald himself." Albus replied with his own eye sparkle twinkling brightly.
"I believe then that I had better contact mon parents to discuss the transfer non?" Fleur said jovially, glad to know that she is able to attend the most premier Magical Schools in the whole of Europe. And still be able to continue I her studies of Medical Magic, the one branch that she herself wished to pursue before she becomes Queen and be unable to work anymore.
"I am delighted to accept you in to our school Princess Delacour, would you perhaps like to stay behind and use my own Floo channel to contact your parents? Mr Potter, I believe we can handle everything from here, why don't you return to your friends?" Albus asks as he stands and leads Fleur over to the fireplace. Harry nodded and stood to leave,
"Fleur, again it was a pleasure to meet you and I cannot wait to spend even more time with you" Harry said formally as he brushed his lips against her knuckles once again.
Fleur blushed and brushed her own lips against Harry's cheek, who, due to his Metaphormagus abilities, had managed to turn his whole body as red as a tomato instead of his cheeks. Harry quickly left and returned his skin to its natural colour and left the office. As he neared the Entrance Hall of the castle however Harry heard eight echoing screams in his mind, those of his aunts and uncles.
