COVEN CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Luna came to the dining room two days later with a strange bark parchment in her hand she looked a little distressed as she approached Harry. "My Lord… Harry we are going to have visitors in two days."
Harry was concerned only because Luna was looking distressed "Who is coming to visit!" he asked her.
Luna sighed "The Elven King and Queen with a company of Elven Warriors. They want to review the living arrangements for Adam and Eve."
Harry stood up and walked closer to her "Why does this have you so distressed?"
Before she could answer Daphne added "That is not a visit it is an invasion!"
Luna then frowned "If they feel it is inappropriate for the Elven children to stay they will take them back to the Elven Realm." Luna felt Harry's magical power come to the forefront and knew he was getting angry."
Harry turned to the window and looked out into the yard and then suddenly his magical power he was releasing diminished and he turned back to Luna "What are your feelings about this and how do Adam and Eve feel?"
Evelyn stood from the table "I have waited six long years to meet my father. You are a powerful wizard and very noble. I want to know my father and his world. If you allow me I want to stay and spend time with you."
Harry turned to Adam and waited for his answer "Father I watched you learn very advanced Elven magic and you did it better than any Elven master I know. I want to learn from you and I want to get to know you."
Harry turned to Luna who had a tear roll down her eye but Evelyn interrupted her before she could start "My mother will not tell you this but the last three years I often heard her cry in her bedroom because she missed you. She missed her sister wives but she suffered eight long years of separation for me, my brother, and you father."
Luna wiped her eyes "What our brat said is correct even though it is my fault because I taught her to speak from the heart. I want my family together and I want them to understand human ways."
Harry looked at the three of them and then smiled "This is my home, this is my family, and these are the first of my children. I have never had any of these things in my life and I have wanted that more than anything."
Harry then gave an evil smirk "I will not allow anyone to separate my family and since they chose my own manor to do this in then, I pity them. Here is what we are going to do…"
Harry sensed that the wards had been challenged and he called the family together into the foyer. He looked at each of them closely and saw that they were dressed to the nines to greet royal guests. He nodded to them and smiled before saying something as he turned to place himself at the head of the procession "Daphne and Hermione relax because if your spincter muscle becomes any more tense I could make diamonds from coal by placing it there."
Daphne and Hermione both blushed as the Children, Luna, Tracy laughed and Harry had a smile on his face. Harry snapped his fingers and the procession faded from view and appeared one hundred yards from the gate. Harry clapped his hands and the Potter manor gates opened.
The lead Elf with a crown on his head began to enter and was suddenly stopped. Harry smirked and cast his voice next to the king and queen "Excuse my error, you may enter my ancestral home estates as friends of Lord Potter."
The King looked at his wife and gave a little scowl before striding the hundred yards towards Lord Potter. Neither realized that Harry had spoken in Elven. When they approached the king stood ten paces away and then waited for his Warriors to surround the two groups. He finally turned and found his warriors struggle against an invisible barrier they could not breach.
Before the King could raise any alarm Harry stepped forward and took a knee "Your majesty I am honored to have you visit my home and offer my estates hospitality."
The Queen had watched with a critical eye this Lord Potter's mannerisms and how he conducted himself. She was not sure as his handling of the wards was bumbling but his entire magical presence screamed to her he was anything but. Her King gave no expression as he gave a slight bow as was the Elven custom "Young human…Lord Potter, I thank you for allowing us to enter your estates and home. My name is King Kronoth" The king turned and gestured towards the queen "May I present my Queen, Ellania."
Harry stood and then bowed with a smile "I am honored to meet both of you."
The Queen asked quickly to ensure her husband acknowledged this point "Lord Potter your Elven is almost flawless and I appreciate your language abilities. How have you learned it so quickly?" The king's eyebrows rose higher as he had received the message.
Harry gave his sideways grin at the Queen "I thank you for recognizing my efforts but humans can speak and learn many languages by a process of mind arts and a spell. Luna, Adam, and Eve have been helping me with the pronunciation."
The Queen seemed leery of this answer and pushed to watch for a reaction "Ahh, I thought perhaps Luna had provided our spell for doing this and was curious."
Harry face lost his smile and looked at the King with no expression "Perhaps King Kronoth I misunderstood this visit and now it has turned into an inquisition, if that is the case then perhaps my goodwill will change with this new attitude?"
Queen Ellania blushed from the sharp rebuke and King Kronoth patted her hand "As you have three wives I am sure you can understand a females incessant curiosity of things. I assure you she and I meant no offense."
Harry did not release his stony expression "I want to ensure that we understand each other and mean no offense by my next words." Harry saw that he had his attention "I am Lord Potter and these are my lands and this is my realm and my kingdom that I have full control of just as you rule your kingdom, I rule mine."
Harry looked behind him to the large contingent of warriors blocked from movement "You and your wife are here at my leisure, not yours. You have no need for an armies presence on my land. I will allow a squad of twelve men to stay for your visit as I understand you and your Queen's safety are important."
Harry then looked at him in the eye "Make no mistake though because my family is the most important thing in this realm to me. I will not tolerate harm, injury, or kidnapping to come to them. I would consider it an act of war!"
The King and Queen looked surprised at first to be confronted in such a manner and so boldly. The King expression changed to match Harry's "I have dictated that no Elven shall remain in this realm but I have allowed three of my subjects to come here because of the unusual circumstances surrounding them." The King sighed "Your children wanted to meet their father and I allowed it but I will not allow Elven to be mistreated by humans. I will bring them back before I allow that to happen."
Harry stepped closer to the King "You presume that I would mistreat my own flesh and blood and that you know best what they need. I challenge you that you act from ignorance and a thousand years of prejudice."
The Queen interrupted "Please stop before this swirls out of control!" The queen having gotten their attention sighed "Lord Potter I apologize profusely for my lack of etiquette in asking about your learning our language. It is something we had not expected as humans in the past would never lower themselves to do that."
Luna stepped forward and spoke softly "Perhaps this is a sign that some humans are different just as some Elvens don't represent Elven in all things."
The Queen smiled at her "Perhaps my love we should choose to learn more before we make decisions. It is obvious that each of you have a passion about those that you hold dear and love. If we focus on the similarities we can begin to bridge that which makes us different."
Harry and the King both relaxed somewhat before Harry looked down and then back at the king "My offer still stands you are welcomed in my home as friends for as long as you like but you will not separate me from my family if they choose to stay."
The King looked at him and his demeanor started to change before it softened "Perhaps it is best to learn before judging something." The King turned to the Captain of the guard "Captain Ilthane you may return to our realm."
The Captain looked enraged "I must protest my king. These are unknown lands and I cannot leave you in this manner." The king was about to reply but Harry interrupted him.
"Perhaps it might be better to allow a few of your men to stay and I might offer that their wives and children might come as well. I do have room for three or four men with families in the manor. We could call it an exchange of good will."
Harry leaned over conspiratorily and whispered "I have two wives that are brimming with incessant curiosity about high Elves."
The king smiled and then he chuckled before he began to laugh out loud and then he turned back to the Captain "You and two of your men will be staying and you will return with your families as our host as offered to allow them to stay as well… he states he has curious wives."
Later that afternoon the Captain and his two lieutenants brought their families with them. Harry had Dobby show them to rooms in the family wing two doors down from a suite given to the King and Queen. They were surprised to learn from Dobby and Winky that it was a great honor by human standards for guests to be placed in the family wing.
The first Dinner was a formal affair and every one showed to the room in attire that was formal as well. They drank wine and ate a sumptuous meal. Harry quickly noticed that the Elven did not eat much of the meat and whispered to Dobby and Winky that they should offer food that was more to the Elven's liking.
Harry immediately noticed that the Elven ate more robustly after the new platters were brought out. Adam and Eve were laughing with the other Elven children at the end of the table.
Luna came to Harry's side "I am very proud of you for noticing that your guests did not like the fare that was served and then changing it for them." Luna kissed his cheek and then whispered into his ear "I expect my lord to punishing me tonight for not doing my duty."
Harry shuddered with her lips on his ear and then smirked as he turned to look at her "My Luna did you notice that my other wives have something that you do not?"
Luna smiled back at him "Yes My lord but I thought you had not deemed me worthy and that I was expected to please you better before you would bestow that honor upon me."
Harry snapped his finger and a leather collar appeared around her neck just like his other wives. "Luna I am always pleased with you and I did not know if you wanted it. Tonight, after your punishment you will learn about pleasing me."
Luna closed her eyes and turned a little red before replying "Yes, Master."
Luna went back to her seat and Daphne, Tracy, and Hermione smirked as she sat down. Tracy whispered to her "Is Luna's Panties all wet now?"
Luna smiled "Very much so."
Daphne said softly "Kinky witch!" which caused the others to chuckle to themselves.
The Queen leaned next to her king to address Harry "Is it a human custom to have ones wives wear a collar?"
Harry looked caught which caused the King and Queen to have small smiles on their faces. He was very unsure of what to say so he went with the truth. He scratched his head for a second "I don't want you to think badly of my ladies but the normal human custom is to give rings to show a husband and wife relationship."
Harry looked into their eyes "My wives find it amusing and very pleasurable to be submissive to me for some reason and it is not something I require from them but I do it as it brings them pleasure."
The king smiled "If you do it for them who is the slave in that situation?" The queen was giggling at Harry's expression as he looked at his wives.
Harry smiled "I knew I was going to have trouble marrying very intelligent women." This caused the King and Queen to laugh at him.
