Harry groaned quietly as the suns rays hit his face. He was still tired, but the slight whimpering in the background was enough to wake him up. He carefully got out of bed, still feeling sore and slightly irritable, before walking over to his youngest daughter and picking her up. Just looking at his beautiful daughter was enough to make him happy.
"Hey there Ashlynn. How are you this morning, my little flower?" He asked the child quietly, before putting her on the changing table and changing her nappy. He snapped his fingers and a bottle appeared in his hand. He carefully brought his daughter over to his bed and sat down, leaning against the headboard to feed her. She drank quickly, and then burped, before closing her little sapphire blue eyes to the world. Harry rolled his eyes, and repeated the process until all of his newborns were fed and fresh. He then got up and went into the hallway for a moment, and asking the elves to keep an eye on the kids while he was getting ready for the day.
He got in the shower, sighing softly as the warm water touched his skin, before washing quickly and dressing. He didn't like leaving them alone, even if the elves were watching them for him. He dressed in a blue t-shirt and black sweats, before heading back to his bedroom and seeing his breakfast on his bedside table.
He quietly thanked the elves, who told him they would be staying with him until he was finished. Blueberry pancakes and sausage were on the menu for this morning and he ate quickly.
"Good morning Harry, and my little nephews and nieces. How are all of you this morning?" A voice Harry quickly recognized as Joanna's asked cheerfully.
"They were still sleeping, but I doubt that they still are." Harry replied, his voice staying quiet, just incase the children were still sleeping.
"Sorry, but you need to open that letter, and run some errands today, so me and Kelsey will watch them for you." She said happily.
Joanna and Kelsey were two of his strangest friends, Joanna was a healer, and Kelsey was a mediwitch, so he knew without a doubt that if they wanted him out of the house, he would have no choice but to listen. With a small sigh, he walked over to each of the cradles and kissed each of the infants on the forehead, muttering that Auntie Anna and Auntie Kelly were going to watch them, and that he would be back soon.
His first stop was Ollivander's, and he knew he needed to get a new wand. His barely worked anymore and it was easier for him to cast spells without it rather than with it. A shadow came up behind him and he couldn't help but jump.
"I was wondering when I'd be seeing you again, Mr. Potter. You have needed a new wand since the end of your first year." Ollivander's mysterious voice said quietly.
"Hello, Mr. Ollivander." Harry greeted the elder man politely.
Ollivander rolled his eyes and looked him over. "Hmmm…" The wand maker waved his hand towards Harry and took him to the back, where his most powerful customers were supposed to go. He barely contained his excitement. He hadn't led anyone back here in his whole life, and he could only remember his grandfather leading one person back here.
Harry glanced around and his eyes widened. The back room was filled with long wood types, jars and jars of strange items, and glowing orbs.
"A wand wont work for you anymore, Mr. Potter, your core is too strong. So, pick one type of wood please." And with that, Ollivander stood in a dark corner of the room and watched. Harry walked over to the wall that had the different types and gently ran his hand across each type. None of them felt right, until he got to the very last one. A spark ran through his body. He looked at the wood in wonder. It was pure jet black with electric blue streaks that seemed to flow through it like veins. The old wand maker looked astonished, but picked up the wood and laid it on a table in the middle of the room.
"Pick 6 liquid cores and 4 solid cores if you would." Ollivander said quietly. Harry turned to the jars and ran his hands over them, pulling out the ones he felt a connection to, and handed them to Ollivander. His solids were a dementor's bone, phoenix ash, basilisk scales, and powdered unicorn hoof. His liquids were mostly dangerous venoms, including Basilisk venom, black viper venom, and black Mumba venom. His other liquids were freely given unicorn blood, phoenix tears, and dementor's blood.
He was then instructed to pick out which orbs he felt a spark with, and ended up with lightning, fire, shadow, and space. Finally, he made a small cut on his hand and let some of the blood flow into the container beneath his hand.
Ollivander hummed at him, and told him to come back in one hour, before kicking him out of the store and turning the sign to say closed for lunch.
After wondering around for a few minutes, he headed to Gringotts and waited there for a moment, before getting out his key and walking over to the only familiar goblin.
"Hello, Griffhook. I was wondering if my estate manager was available." He asked the goblin.
"Ah, Harry Potter, a pleasure watching your gold. May it multiply with your grace, as my own climb for riches has increased since gaining your friendship. Grinnut is available, but…" the old goblin trailed off for a moment, before asking "I was wondering if you would allow us to do an inheritance test."
Harry just shrugged and followed the goblin to an office. There was an old goblin there and he had a bowl on his desk, along with a knife and Harry had a feeling that it want just there for show. He was instructed to make a shallow cut in his palm, and allow the blood to fall into the bowl. He did as he was told and 5 drops of blood fell into the bowl. The old goblin, who Harry assumed was Grinnut, carefully mixed the contents of the bowl and poured it on a special piece of parchment, before stepping back and letting a glow blind Harry's eyes for a moment. When the light faded, Harry allowed himself to freak out for a moment.
"What was that?" Harry asked. Griffhook's toothy smile and Grinnut's odd look told him that whatever it was, he most likely didn't want to know.
"This Mr. Potter, is, as I said earlier, an inheritance test. It basically tells you what you own by blood and Magic, as well as what families you are now the head of. These are your titles, and who you are. Read and find out, friend of the goblin nation."
Harry looked at the parchment and gasped quietly.

Harry didn't think his eyes could get any wider. "Holy shit." He muttered to himself. He put his hand on his forehead and shook his head, trying to force his mind to wrap around the facts that he just read. "I'm just going to withdraw 100 galleons, and I'll deal with this after I can wrap my head around it."
He was handed a rather nice sized pouch and he mentally rolled his eyes, there was no way that this was just 100 galleons.
He walked out of the room and his mind wondered back to his children. He cast a silent tempus charm and saw that it had only been 45 minutes of reading over documents that required his signature. He rolled his eyes and walked over to Ollivander's, passing a trunk store on his way. He sighed and decided to spoil himself, so he got one that was like Mad-eye Moody's. It was black and he made them put 12 large rooms in the trunk, and to put in strong wards to keep people out. He shrunk the trunk and finished the walk to Ollivander's. The store was open again, and he opened the door.
"Mr. Ollivander?" Harry called quietly.
"In the back room, Mr. Potter. I do believe that you will be pleased with this." Ollivander replied. Harry could hear the pride in his voice and walked past the shelves of wands to the back room he was in earlier.
That was when he felt it. "No way." He muttered, feeling his magic swirl around him, pushing him towards the staff. The wood was still the same, but it had added electric green, ruby red, and silver colored veins. The top held a black metal and each of his orbs were stacked on top of each other. His staff radiated power and he couldn't help reaching out and running his hand over the smooth wood. Harry's hand lifted the staff off the ground a few inches, seemingly on its own, before tapping it on the ground. Sparks surrounded him, and Harry smiled.
"Bloody hell." He muttered, feeling his magic purr in pleasure around him.
"You're children will most likely need staffs as well." Ollivander said happily. "I can't wait until they're old enough to get their first wand."
Harry sighed heavily, and rested his head on the mantle of his staff, "That's still a long ways away, and I'm in no hurry to get them off to Hogwarts."
Ollivander laughed merrily and shooed Harry from the store, telling him that his payment was the honor of making a staff that was unlike any other.
Harry shook his head lightly. "He's such a strange man." He muttered to himself, heading towards the leaky cauldron.
Things were good in his life, he thought to himself. Harry really should have known better than to think those words, as he was quickly pulled to the side and lips descended on his. Harry's mind struggled, as his body relaxed into the familiar embrace. He was kissed thoroughly, before the other man pulled back.
"Severus." He muttered.
The older man chuckled and kissed him behind his ear. "Relax love; let's go somewhere private, alright?"
Harry knew he would regret sleeping with the other man again, and tried to pull away, but he also knew he still loved the bastard of an ex he had. With a tiny nod of his head, they apparated home, to their home, with Severus.
When Harry returned home an hour and a half later, he felt blank, empty almost, and hated the feeling. He went to his bathroom, and showered, trying to scrub off the feelings he felt for the other man. He sighed heavily and put on a smile for his kids and friends, before heading over there to deal with the world again.
"Harry!" Joanna exclaimed, running over to him. "Did you have a good time?" she asked as he went over and plucked Alex and Rynn from his friend's arms.
"Not really." He mumbled, burying his nose in the kid's hair. They looked up at him and he cooed and kissed their heads, before handing them off and picking up the others. He was very careful with them and sighed as he rocked Alex and Rynn in his arms until they fell asleep.
"What happened?" Kelsey asked quietly, coming up next to him as he gently laid the two tired children in their beds.
"Their dad and I had a run in. He wants to meet them, and for us to be a proper family. This was, of course, after I found out I'm the most powerful wizard in a very long time, and I'm the richest wizard in all of Britain." He said, his voice sounding exhausted.
Joanna sighed again. "Please tell me you didn't sleep with him again."
Harry looked down guiltily and Joanna and Kelsey shared a look. They would have to come and test him soon. Wizards, or at least powerful witches, can get pregnant as early as a day after having children. They hoped they were wrong, but they knew he would have to be tested anyways.
"Go sleep, we have the kids for now. Night Harry."
Three months had passed and the sextuplets were growing everyday, and Harry was the perfect proud Daddy. He loved all six of them, and spent time with them equally. He had also hired tutors because he didn't want to leave the kids with someone else for longer than 3 hours.
He was perfectly caught up, and even ahead in the classes. He could have graduated now if he wanted to, but he had wanted to go back to Hogwarts for his final year, and probably would, but for now, he needed to be with his family. Joanna, Kelsey, and recently, the Weasley twins had joined the two girls as family.
This morning, he was busy worshiping the porcelain goddess, again. He felt like crap, and assumed that he was just coming down with a stomach bug. He sighed and called the twins and the girls. Soon enough, they all came over and the twins went to help the house elves with the kid's morning routines. After a diagnosis spell, Kelsey went to join the twins.
Joanna gave him a look and Harry couldn't help groaning. "Please tell me that look means something other than what I know it means." He almost begged.
The healer sighed and Harry knew what she was going to say.
"Congratulations Harry, you're pregnant again."
Harry leaned back on the soft deep blue couch and sighed heavily. "Wonderful. How far?"
"3 months, I'm guessing from the time the day after the kids were born, but I don't know for sure. I'm guessing early May, late April. Want me to do the test?"
"Please and thank you." He replied, his voice sounding slightly rough because of his hormones. He couldn't believe it, he always wanted a big family, but, this was getting bigger than the Weasley family's size.
"Before the ritual, or after?" Joanna asked. Harry just sighed.
"After, let me go get ready for it. I'll be back in 3 hours. You guys have it covered, right?" Harry asked tiredly.
"Don't worry; we'll take care of them." Joanna said with a small smile towards the teen.
The ritual didn't take more than half an hour, like last time, and involved ruins, a touch of his blood, and chanting. Afterwards though, it always made the user exhausted and not fit to move for a few hours.
After he had woken up, he saw an unwelcome sight in his living room. Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy, and his son, Draco, were seated in the room, and Fred and Kelsey were seated across from them.
Harry cleared his throat and everyone turned to him. Kelsey looked down guiltily, Fred was apologizing with his eyes, and the other three were staring at him.
He turned to Fred. "What are they doing here?" He asked.
"Harry, mate," Fred began, telling Harry he was slightly nervous, "They showed up out of no where and demanded to talk to you, or they would have you arrested for murder of the newest additions, and when we tried to tell them about the ritual, they wouldn't listen, and wanted to meet the kids, but we told them no, and that's it, mate."
Harry turned to Severus, fire in his eyes, "You think I would get an abortion? I should kick you out for even thinking I would do something like that!" He yelled at his ex lover. "The kids are mine, 100 percent mine. They don't have any of your blood, and you aren't even their sperm donor, so I don't know where the hell you think that you can come here in the first place."
"It's not right that you are taking away my heirs, Potter, and you know it." Severus was pissed, and showed it by using his loves' last name.
"Back to last names, are we? Fine, Snape, you don't care about me, or the kids, only about having blood heirs, don't you? I'll let you know their names, but no more than a one time meeting. After this, I don't want to see you outside of school, if I go back."
"You're going to take away your children's chance to know their father? I didn't know you were so selfish." Severus sneered.
"There's a difference between being selfish and protecting my children, Snape. If you keep this up, the first time you ever meet them will be at Hogwarts in eleven years." Harry said, his voice slightly threatening, and Severus cursed himself for nurturing the other man's inner snake.
"Fine." Severus sneered. Harry led them into the nursery that the kids had moved into a month ago. As soon as Severus walked into the room, he saw Harry was doing a good job with them. Only one was awake, a little boy with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
Harry picked up his son, cuddling him close, before walking over to the first bed and rolling his eyes mentally as Severus' eyes followed his movements across the room.
"In order of birth, we have Jason Artemis, Evan James, Zackary Zeus, Alexander Harrison, Kathrynn Rose, and Ashlynn Jasmine. This is Evan, by the way." Harry introduced quietly.
Severus was quiet. "I have two daughters?" Severus asked.
"And 4 sons, so far, yes, but they are mine, Severus, and you had best remember it" Harry said, his voice showing warnings.
Severus walked around the room and looked at each of the infants, as Harry put Evan in his bed.
"Evan is smaller than the others." Severus said to himself. Harry laughed quietly, and it made Severus' heart ache.
"Look at my size, add that to the fact that they are multiples, they are going to stay small. I think that Evan took after me, and will most likely be smaller than the others for a good while. He may out grow the girls, but I doubt it." Harry shrugged, leaning over the crib of his oldest son. He let Severus look at the children for a few more minutes, before dragging them out and motioning for the twins, and girls to stay and watch the kids.
"I kept my part of the deal, now leave." He said, his voice sounding tired and ready to sleep.
The snakes looked surprised, as it was only 7 at night, but decided to come back when the others were born. Harry would not cut them out of the lives of the children, no matter how mad he was at Severus. With that thought firmly in the minds of the snakes, they flooed out of the manor
Harry on the other hand, collapsed on the couch as soon as they left. He was so tired, the ritual always did that to everybody, and he was even more tired last time, so he was slightly worried.
Joanna walked into the room and sighed at the sight of the teen sprawled out on the couch. She waved her wand and the information showed up in front of her. She was frozen. This wasn't making any sense!
Harry looked up and saw that look. "What's wrong? Is something wrong with the fetuses?" Harry asked, his voice slightly panicking.
"The babies are fine, Harry, but…" she trailed off, and Harry's expression brought her back, "they are progressing abnormally quickly. You are 3 months along, but the fetuses are showing 5 ½ months. If they progress normally from here, they should be born in February, not April or May." Joanna said, not liking how pale the boy was.
"What am I expecting?" Harry asked quietly, his voice not going above a whisper.
"3 girls. If I had to guess, your body might make another child as well, like last time, one that is hidden from view, but it looks like all girls this time." She paused and looked at the boy.
"Nine." He whispered to himself, trying to wrap his head around the information. By the time March came, he would have at least 4 boys and 5 girls. How was he…? He sighed heavily. "I'm going to need more help." His brain wondered to his godfather and honorary godfather. Maybe… He bit his lip and thought for a second. They loved him right? They would protect him, and his family, right? Maybe Neville and Luna would like to help during summer, or Bill and Fleur, and Charlie. He knew Luna and Neville were loyal to him, but he decided to just ask his godfathers, and maybe, if he could tell Charlie as well...
"Just tell Remus and Sirius for now. I know you're still mad at them, but they're your best bet." A voice said from the door way. Fred was standing there with Zack in one arm and Jazz in the other.
Harry held out his hands and Fred handed the two off to him. They immediately snuggled up to him and yawned. "You're so sleepy." He cooed at the two, emerald and sapphire blue eyes staring up at him sleepily. He kissed them both on the head and thy fell asleep in his arms.
Harry looked up, cheeks slightly blushing. "Sorry, I…" Fred sent him a smile, and he returned it with a small one of his own.
"You're the only one that can do that, you know." Fred told him, his voice warm. At Harry's look of confusion, he explained quietly, "You're the only one who any of them will automatically snuggle up with and fall asleep quickly with. Especially those two. You make a great dad."
Harry beamed up at him and Fred turned away.
"Well, I'd best be going; Georgie and I have to work at the shop for a few hours tomorrow. Night Harry."
"Night Fred." Harry whispered as the other man walked thru the floo.
Harry got up, and walked to the nursery, kicking out the rest of his help, and telling them he could handle himself from here.
