Chapter 16 – What can I say?
.
"boo!"
"Tracy, do you live in this street?"
"No but I do have a father, that has a business in the area, and I am always around."
"Well let me by you a drink and you can catch me up on all the gossip."
We had just sat down at the café when Susan came huffing and puffing to the table and sat down in my lap and after catching her breath, "Now you can't just up and run off when we talk about sex."
"Sex talk is never a problem for me it's the…" Susan cut me off.
"Hush! We don't need to get off in that area, well not much. You said you shoot blanks? Are you sure?"
"Two sources one being Madam Pomfrey." I replied.
"Great! Now hear us out as this is half business and half pleasure. You are really cute and a hunk, any girls dream. Here in the wizard world girls are like cattle and sold for a few galleons. Take me as an example…" Tracy adds here two knuts. "She really wants you to take her; she will pay the two galleons."
While I tried not to blush with her on my lap she continued, "Auntie is old school and has made a marriage contract for me with a guy that's at least twice my age. She contracted to have a male heir to continue the bones line. The problem is I don't want anything to do with him but there is the contract." Susan appeared stuck at this point but Tracy wasn't.
"Harry what Susan is saying is if you bonk her she has violated the contract and it is null and voided. Susan is not a slut and if she is going to bonk someone she wants cute, handsome and you!"
"Harry there is an outside possibility that the old guy is going to get pissed and demand a duel." Susan hung her head.
"Where and when." I asked with a huge grin.
"Well Auntie is gone for the next two days. She is looking for a job, not that she needs one for money but she is not a sit at home type."
"So your place is fine with me, I am just a hormonal teenager after all." My grin was going to break my face if I kept this up, what a deal.
Susan took me to the Bones Manor and up to her room and then she got super shy.
"Susan while I have done this before just relax and enjoy I will be a gentleman and take this slow and easy."
Well I kept my word and while she appeared to enjoy everything I thought that this was a one off encounter. Stupid me, she decided that a little practice was good for her. Hormones at this age are a bitch; a month later I was popping into her room every evening and staying the night. The perfect deal was ended by Susan announcing that the contract was violated to her aunt. She actually was a bit more intimidating that Molly Weasley and Susan decided to obey her auntie, the fun ended.
Meanwhile Voldemort and his clowns were raising hell in the muggle world. So while I had a break I decided to screw up everyone's idea of peace and tranquility. I popped into the office of the muggle Prime Minister of England.
My first impression was he was not that surprised at my sudden arrival. He thought that I was a bit young to be the Minister for Magic and why had I not used the fire place. It appeared that Malfoy dislike of muggles had been causeing him to ignore the Prime Minister of England. After a short chat the Minister canceled all his appointments for the day and we had a serious discussion. The collapse of bridges and mass death in villages was explained to him and my explanation pissed him off to no ends.
He was actually happy I stopped by and told me that any help he could provide was mine for the asking. Further that I should stop in and provide information as I got it would be most helpful. Nice guy to the existent he provided a restricted, classified cell phone that matched his, he guaranteed would work in the magic community. One push of the button and I had his attention.
I had exhausted my favorite author's works in books but I found some DVD's on Babylon 5 and I was enthralled. I found a store on Oxford Street that sold DVD's and visited often. On my second visit Tracy found me and another girl with a contract that the new girl wanted to break. Victoria Frobisher was ok but a colder fish that I would have expected, this turned out to be a non-exciting business encounter. She had her eye on a rich guy who was not in her contract and she was chasing the money. It lasted one night. I was surprised that so far I had not been challenged to a duel for spoiling their contract mate. What got to me most was the list that Tracy had for girls willing to break their contracts with me. When I asked I got a shock. Most contracts had a stipulation that the girls had to be virgins on their marriage night. Something was wrong with this logic of how they were breaking the contracts.
/Scene Break/
While I was otherwise unoccupied I decided that a little Ministry disruption would be great fun. So I appeared in Knockturn Alley and then arrived in the Ministry with a couple of Deatheaters I found along the way. I was thinking of turning them loose in the Ministry but then I thought of the innocents that could be killed or them thinking I was with the Deatheaters. I just dumped off the unconscious Deatheaters in the Atrium so everyone could see me and I thought I would leave them with a parting shot, "I'm 'The Sword Master' and I am tired of cleaning up your mess. I will bring death to Deatheaters and those that support them.
I sometimes wonder if Rita Skeeter ever slept or had cloned herself, she was always around like a nasty rash. So the pictures of the Deatheaters and the Sword Masters comments were on the front page the next morning. When I got home I got a pleasant surprise my computer was lit up with a message from BitMan. He had apparently come up with a computer program which was like the Marauders map. The computer program however zeroed in on the Dark Mark. However BitMan decided that his asking price was just short of extortion.
One button push later on my cell phone and England contacted America and BitMan was in a serious negotiation. A couple of hundred thousand I would go for but a couple of million was extortion. BitMan settled for three hundred a Deatheater caught or killed or a long stretch in prison for law they may have made up in America. England decided to give the sword master credit for each Deatheater killed to put the fear in Moldeshorts or fill his shorts.
/Scene Break/
My life was not all fun and super hero stunts I had a lot of nightmares that went along with bonking different girls and loping off Deatheaters heads, this was not right nor making me happy in my dreams. Having to hide from everyone was another source for unhappy nights of slumber. I still missed Daphne.
Time slides by:
"Tracy you don't have some gorgeous girl that's immortal out there that wants a permanent boyfriend?
"Sorry Harry just the future contract girls. They are all chopping at the bit to get you to clear their contract so they do like some of your last girls have done." Tracy giggled.
"You lost me Tracy what is happening and why are they waiting on me? Why not pick their boyfriends to clear those unwanted contracts? This made no sense to me.
"Poor Harry, you have no idea how the world turns in our society. The last boyfriend that defiled a contract girl got drawn and quartered and the family of the boy had to pay for the loss and fines from the Ministry. You are safe, they can't find you, or dare to challenge you, besides you are already a fugitive in hiding."
"Well I am no choirboy in this but..." Tracy cut me off, "Oh choirboy does define your knowledge, and let me fill you in on things. Susan's aunt cut her off from you but when she got to Hogwarts and no aunties supervision, lets just say she had bedded most of the boys in her house and has eyes on the other houses. Oh! You remember Victoria? Do you know that a marriage contract also stipulates marriage for life, no divorce? Well she married that rich boy of hers without a contract and after the first month sued for divorce and took him for most of his money. She is now one rich girl."
"So I am just being used and manipulated?"
"Oh dear Harry, there are still a few of us around that marry for love like Daphne."
