Harry Potter and the Delightful Dilemma

I don't own Harry Potter
A/N: this is a warning in advance. There will be some foul language in the beginning of this.
Chapter 11
A chill was in the air as well as screams were being heard as Harry and his ladies as well as Amelia Bones rushed out of Three Broomsticks. Remus left behind to handle Sirius, who had changed back into a dog for safety. Remus was going to guard the door as the rest took on their attackers.
Once outside Harry cast his patronus using the memory of all the love his lovely ladies have given him so far, the kisses they shared. A large silver stag galloped forth followed by a silver otter, then a hare, a cobra, an osprey, a hawk, a falcon, an eagle, and a badger. The stream of silver animals corralled the Dementors attacking and then Prongs took them out by goring them with its horns. Horrible screams were emitted from the black cloaked figures as they were pierced then all that was left was the black cloak.
This seemed to give the Death Eaters that were a part of the attack take pause, which was enough for Harry and his ladies and Amelia to attack them. But that didn't last long as the Death Eaters got over their shock and began fighting back. Hexes flew through the air. All of them lethal. The Death Eaters had no qualms in hurting or killing anyone in their way.
Meanwhile Amelia was firing back stunners and all sort of non-lethal spells. They only slowed the Death Eaters down as they kept revived their comrades.
Harry and his ladies though fired off bone breaking curses, ones that gave Death Eaters boils, and others semi-lethal light curses. They weren't meant to kill per se, but any way to incapacitate them they did.
Death Eaters fell one by one with these tactics and Amelia saw this and in the back of her mind she knew that she'd implement a version of this in her auror training since it was quite effective.
It took a half an hour for the battle to end, but Amelia was right pissed. None of her aurors had responded to the attack and when the first auror team did show up they were late by another half hour.
"Where the bloody fucking hell were you?" the head of the DMLE shouted.
The auror team cowered as their boss laid into them.
"The whole goddamn village was in danger and you lot couldn't get off your fucking asses to save it. It was up to Lord Potter and his friends to save the day and to save what have could have been a fucking disaster. I ought fire the whole fucking lot of you, but since we'd be short-handed if I did that I'll have to be more creative. I guess an extreme physical training along with some other nifty surprises that I have in store for you will have to do" Amelia said glaring at the aurors.
As Amelia was ripping her aurors a new one Harry and his ladies went and check on the villagers. They found three with their souls sucked out, many injured ranging from serious to minor, and two others suffering from the affects of the Cruciatus curse.
"Susan, once your aunt is done ripping her aurors apart tell her we need healers here quick" Harry said.
Susan nodded and rushed off to tell her aunt.
Harry plopped to the ground feeling tired and depressed. This was his fault. He was here when the attack happened. Was that why Hogsmeade was attacked? Was it because of him?
"Harry?"
Harry didn't respond.
"Harry?"
Harry was being shaken, but again no response.
"Oh damnit Harry, get yourself together!"
Harry's snapped suddenly and turned to Hermione, who had been the one shaking him.
"You swore" he said in disbelief.
"I sure did. It was the only thing I could do to get you out of this funk you are in" Hermione said fuming slightly.
"But-"
"It wasn't your fault Harry" Hermione said sternly.
Harry opened his mouth to dispute this, but then Parvati jumped in.
"Harry, this is a war and there will be fights like this whether you are there or not. This wasn't an attack on you. It's just war" the Gryffindor twin said.
"Parv, that was deep" Padma said.
"Hey, you know I am just as smart as you. So I'm allowed to spout off this kind of stuff once and a while" Parvati said with a bit of a huff.
The other ladies giggled and Harry managed a small smile.
"I do have a question though. I thought the Dementors were at Azkaban. How'd they get here?" Daphne asked out loud.
Remus and Sirius escaped during this aftermath since they knew they didn't want to be questioned of why they were here. Sirius was of course in his Animagus form. He wished he could've helped his godson, but he knew he would be a hindrance.
/Scene Break/
Amelia was now right pissed as she got around the fact that her aurors need so much discipline and training. Susan came to her and told what they needed and Amelia barked orders to get healers from St. Mungo's here right now. The aurors did as they were told and soon healers arrived tending to those they could.
Harry went back to the castle though he refused a look over from the healers.
"If I need medical attention then I go see madam Pomfrey. I trust her" he told the healer who was trying to check him.
/Scene Break/
Back in her office Amelia found an auror waiting for her.
"What's going on?" she asked still upset with the performance of her aurors.
"Sorry boss, but we just go word from Azkaban" the auror said.
Amelia didn't like the sound of this.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Well, all the prisoners that are Death Eaters are gone" the auror said meekly.
"WHAT!" Amelia shouted.
The auror jumped back. He knew he was in for it for being the messenger bearing bad news.
"Are saying that there's no sign of any of them. The Lestranges are gone, so is Snape?" Amelia asked furiously.
"Yes ma'am, the thing is we've talked to the warden and found that they had been missing for several weeks, but only now they've told us" the auror said.
"Where is the warden now?" Amelia asked in a growl.
"We have him in an interrogation room waiting for you" the auror said.
"Good, I'll get to the bottom of this" Amelia said.
With the help of Veritaserum the warden confessed that he snuck in special portkeys into the prison and it took all of the Death Eaters away. He didn't know where of course, but he was paid handsomely for doing so. Amelia was in a right state after hearing this and it took all of her control not to hex the man in front of her.
What made matters worse was that explained why Dementors had attacked them earlier today.
/Scene Break/
Dumbledore smirked. His sources in the Ministry had told what had just happened. There had been a breakout in Azkaban and Death Eaters had escaped. They'd need his help soon and he'd come waltzing in with his best robes and take command again to save everyone. Yes, this would work to his advantage. Then Harry would have to come back to him in need of training. Also his Order would do just the same. He had oaths that they would all have to take to keep the obedient.
/Scene Break/
Voldemort cackled as his Death Eaters regained their strength. The attack on Hogsmeade was nothing more than a scare tactic. The Death Eaters that were killed were low level ones and he didn't care about them. He was pleased that he had his real force back. Though he was displeased in learning he had lost some Dementors, but he had more to command. He had ordered Snape to make potions to get them health fast. Yes, his grand plan was coming together.
/Scene Break/
The headline in the Prophet the next day was shocking and feared gripped everyone.
Breakout in Azkaban
The article went on saying that the warden of the prison was sentenced to instant death by the veil, which was only explained in a small section. They also listed all the prisoners that had escaped and said that all the Dementors have left as well.
"Well that explains why we were attacked by Dementors" Parvati said.
"This isn't good, this isn't good at all" Susan said frowning.
"Looks like Amelia won't be able to take care of the two Weasleys with this going on" Padma said.
"I highly doubt Ginny made a big enough batch to do this again. She'd have to make up more and that will take time. Time we could use" Hermione said.
"I believe Harry needs to talk to his champion first" Luna said.
"What do you mean Luna?" Harry asked.
Luna pointed and they all saw Neville gripping his issue of the paper in his hands. Lavender, who was sitting by Neville had a comforting hand on his shoulder and saying something in his ear, which seemed to be soothing him somewhat.
"Now that's interesting" Parvati said.
"Neville Longbottom and Lavender Brown, who'd have thought" Susan said.
Harry got up and headed over to Neville.
"Want to talk Neville?" he asked.
Neville nodded.
Harry and Neville left with Lavender watching them looking worried. Harry's ladies decided they'd have a talk with Lavender while Harry talked to Neville.
/Scene Break/
Harry and Neville wandered outside. Neither saying a word. Harry decided to wait for Neville to make the first move.
"I want to kill her Harry" Neville said furiously.
"I know you do Neville, I know" Harry said.
The two walked a bit more than found a spot to sit.
"Do you know how they escaped?" Neville asked.
"No, I just this just as you did. But I am sure Amelia Bones will let me know and I tell you" Harry said.
Neville nodded.
/Scene Break/
Meanwhile Lavender was surround by the ladies with them asking her questions she needed to answer or they'd hound her forever.
"Yes I like Neville. No, I'm not sure if I'm in love with him since it's still too early. I do know I care for him deeply. No, we have not gotten very far physically. No, I will not push him" Lavender said.
With those answered everyone began to relax somewhat.
"So you really like Neville?" Parvati asked.
"Yes, he's very different and I've never felt like before with a boy" Lavender said.
"I'll be, Lavender Brown has feelings for someone" Susan said in awe.
"Hey, you make it sound like I was some kind of hussy or something" Lavender said heatedly.
All of Harry's ladies gave Lavender a look.
"Oh fine, yes I acted like a ditz and all, but I'm not a slut or anything. I do have some self-respect for myself" Lavender said folding her arms across her chest.
"Then all those rumors?" Padma asked.
"Just that, rumors" Lavender said.
"Probably started by girls jealous of her" Daphne said.
/Scene Break/
Soon Neville started training to fight Bellatrix. This was his main goal. Lavender stuck by him and even joined in.
Harry and his ladies kept training too.
"I am pleased on how all of you produced patronuses, but who's was who's?" Harry asked after one training session.
"Mine was the otter" Hermione said.
"Hare" Luna said.
"Osprey" Fleur said.
"Badger" Susan said.
"Cobra" Daphne said.
"Hawk" Padma said.
"Falcon" Parvati said.
"Eagle" Penny said.
Harry shook his head. He was proud that all of his ladies could now protect themselves from Dementors if needed.
"What I want to know is what memory did we each use to conjure our patronus" Hermione said.
This began a lively discussion that Harry bowed out of when he got embarrassed by all the estrogen filling the room. He escaped and knew he needed a cold shower to help calm himself.
/Scene Break/
Once Harry was gone the ladies got down to some very serious business. They all knew they were at the age where hormones were raging. For Fleur and Penny they were past this stage, but were in need of some attention of the sexual kind.
"The question is, do we start this now or wait?" Hermione asked out loud to everyone.
"Hell, I don't know if I can wait. I'm so damn horny" Daphne said uncharacteristically.
The other ladies were wide eyes at hearing this, but they too were the same as Daphne though on different levels.
"I for one would like to feel Harry inside me" Luna said casually.
This had the others squirm a bit at this.
"Mmmm, that sounds lovely" Fleur purred.
"The question is do we do that one at a time or do we do it with a couple?" Penny asked.
This had them all stop. None of them had really experimented with the same sex let alone the opposite. This was all new to them. Though Fleur and Penny were the only ones who had any experience at all.
"Here's what I propose" Hermione said.
/Scene Break/
Harry wasn't sure why, but he felt a shiver run down his spine.
End of Chapter
A/N: that's that for this chap. The fight in the beginning wasn't what some of you hoped to be. Sorry, I just couldn't get into it as much as I wanted to. Thanks for reading and please review.
