Chapter 10: Things Change

Albus, Minerva, Remus, Arthur, Molly, Ginny and Harry all stepped through the portal and reappeared in the entrance hall of Hogwarts. Tonks, Severus, Filius, and Pomona were all waiting for them; as well as some of the suits of armor.

Harry just smiled at the guards that had taken up position to defend the castle from anyone dumb enough to try to come thru the portal. "Hogwarts, please secure the portal, no one in or out."

Suddenly the stone floor rose around the portal, sealing it away. The stones then turned clear so that you could look into the portal.

"Professors, thank you for your concern, now it is late, would anyone care for a nightcap? Albus, why don't we head to your office then? Commander, please deploy 2 squadron's to patrol the grounds."

Everyone was surprised when one of the suits of armor saluted Harry and saw two groups of armor headed outside. Harry looked at everyone's surprised faces, "What? Did you really think they were just decorative? Come on." Harry led the group to the Headmaster's office where everyone enjoyed a night drink.

Severus played bartender and handed everyone glasses of firewhiskey, including Harry and Ginny. Molly was about to object, but she stopped herself. Unlike what she told Harry and Ginny, Molly and Arthur both knew that a soul bonding meant that they were now married. It hurt Molly a little bit to know that her baby was grown up, but the way Harry handled himself at Gringotts made her realize that there is no one better for her little girl.

The group chatted for a while about trivial things; the weather, Quidditch, memories of the Marauders, classes, etc. As the group began to tire out, Harry rose from the couch he was sitting on and made his way over to Albus and Minerva.

"Albus, professor—"

Minerva cut him off "Mr. Potter, since you are now all of our bosses, I think it would be appropriate if you called us all by our first names, while in private." Minerva gave him one of her very rarely seen smiles,

"Of course Minerva, only if you call me Harry. Anyway, it's late, and I am going to take Ginny to bed and catch some shut eye myself. Do you think you could arrange a full staff meeting for tomorrow evening? There are a number of things I think the staff needs to know. Also, I would like to meet with the two of you beforehand."

Albus' eyes twinkled madly, he knew what Harry had up his sleeve, but he didn't want to scare Minerva…too much yet.

"Of course Harry, how about we arrange the staff meeting for 7pm after dinner and we can meet after lunch in your office?"

"Thank you. That sounds good, good night Albus, Minerva." Harry walked towards the couch where a sleeping Ginny laid. He said a number of good nights along the way. As he reached Ginny, someone tapped his shoulder; he turned around and looked right into the eyes of Severus Snape.

Harry then heard Severus' voice in his head. "Mr. Potter, I have been forced to think about a number of things lately. I just wanted to say that I am sorry for the way I have treated you and I that I will endeavor to be a better professor."

Harry just nodded and turned back to pick up the sleeping form of Ginny Weasley; as he turned to walk out the door, he noticed Albus was holding it open for him and he was also had a book. Harry saw the title and thanked his parents for giving Albus a complete copy of their library. Harry took it and exited the office and made his way towards his own office and bedchambers.

_________________________________________________________________________________

After Harry and Ginny left Albus' office, Remus and Tonks called it a night and left together hand in hand, heading for parts unknown.

Arthur and Molly both sat down where Harry was just sitting. The five professors followed. There was a lot that needed to discussed, and no one seemed to know where to begin. Finally Severus started, "Well, you all were gone long enough. So what happened at Gringotts; let me guess, Harry the real owner of Gringotts or something?"

Four glasses simultaneously hit the floor. Snape's face paled, "You've got to be kidding me. Harry Potter owns Gringotts Bank? This is absurd."

At that moment, the door to headmaster's office became solid stone and the ghostly figure of Godric Gryffindor appeared. He was wearing everyday robes and a serious look on his face. "I would have thought all of you would have learned your lesson about meddling in other people's business."

Everyone looked properly ashamed; they knew they deserved this dress down from Lord Godric. "But, I feel like the five of you are trustworthy and do have a right to somewhat know what Harry is up too, so I will give you some background information. When Harry merged his magic with my own, we had a very long discussion. He also met Rowena, Helga, and my dear friend Salazar. I explained to him what we were going to do in regards to ritual you all saw in the Great Hall. We also talked about what needed to be done to help contain and defeat Tom Riddle.

"When Harry met with Mackrack, he knew what needed answered. Albus, you can tell them what you discovered with Harry." Dumbledore explained about the money funneled from Hogwarts to personal accounts and the abuse the Malfoy family had inflicted on everyone.

"So now you know as much as Minerva and I do. It is rather late, why don't we all head for bed. We will learn what Harry is planning soon enough." Recognizing the dismissal, everyone exited the office except for Albus, Minerva and the ghost of Godric Gryffindor.

"Albus, just to let you know, I am the only founder who can return to this plane. I serve Harry as my heir, but if you need someone to talk to you, just ask." With that Godric floated over to his portrait and disappeared back into it. Albus took his wife's hand and led her to bed.

It had never occurred to him to take Ginny to Gryffindor Tower to sleep. Luna, Ginny, and Hermione were all supposed to be sharing a dorm room and as he learned long ago, you do not want to deal with Hermione before she has her morning coffee. So Harry decided let her sleep in his bed. He walked into his bedchamber and laid Ginny down on the bed. He removed her shoes and sweater then stared at the sleeping form. He quietly exited the chamber, and called for Miffy.

"Master Harry called for Miffy?" Harry smiled, Miffy was a nice house elf and very loyal. He had yet to meet any other house elves and decided to add that to continuing growing list of things to do.

"Miffy, can you please get Ginny a change of clothes and her toiletries from her trunk. I believe they are in her dorm room.

Miffy looked scared, "We house elves are bad, master. We was told that all Wheezes were living in tower. We did not know that Mistress Ginny was a Potter."

Miffy began to bang her head against the wall. Harry was shocked, "Miffy STOP!" What do you mean she is a—" Then it hit him, the soul bond. Something about the soul bond caused the house elves to see Ginny as a Potter.

Harry began to panic, "Miffy, you did not know, please go get the items I requested and bring me some strong tea. I have quite a bit of reading to do tonight." With a pop she was gone. Harry sat down at his desk and began to read the book Albus had given him.

It was a couple of hours later that Harry finally put the book down. According to the book, they were married. The soul bond also increased the magic each of them possessed. As he was pondering the meaning of this, Ginny exited the bedchamber, and looked at Harry. One of the things about the bond was that they also shared thoughts and memories. Ginny knew exactly what the book had said because Harry had read it. She looked at Harry, her husband, and noticed that he looked like a younger version of Albus Dumbledore working late into the night at his desk, in deep thought. The only things missing were the purple robes, the long white beard, and Fawkes sitting on his perch.

"Hello, husband" Harry looked up at Ginny and smiled. "I guess that we should discuss what has happened, should we?" Harry smiled at his young wife and rose from his chair. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"Well, I do believe, according to my reading, that we are now married and legal adults. As a consenting adult, I would like to take my wife to bed and do things to her that I have only dreamed about." Ginny blushed a deep red and buried her face in Harry's chest.

She mumbled something Harry couldn't hear, but then pulled back and looked into his eyes. "I don't think I can……go all the way. Can we just do some exploring, you know…normal stuff. It's all a little much to take in tonight." Harry nodded and escorted his wife to their bed.

Harry called Miffy and asked her to move all of their things to the bedchambers and put them way. Harry and Ginny then helped each other remove their clothes. Each time they exposed a piece of skin on the other person they would kiss it and caress it. Harry started with Ginny's neck and her ears; Ginny did the same to Harry.

Within moments they had shed each other's shirts and Harry was working on Ginny's bra. Ginny then decided it might be a good idea to get on the bed so she pushed Harry onto the bed. She then straddled Harry's hips and began to kiss his chest and neck. She played with her nipples before sitting up and removing her bra. Though she was somewhat young, puberty had done its job and given Ginny C cup breasts. Harry ran his hands over them and massaged them. Ginny moaned softly, she bent over so that Harry could take one of her breasts into his mouth. The moment his tongue made contact with her breast Harry understood what heaven was.

Harry flipped the two if them over so Ginny was on her back. She wrapped her arms around Harry's head forcing it further into her chest. As she was doing this she felt one of Harry's hands move down past her stomach and into her jeans. She tensed as Harry began to massage her clit. Ginny's moans got louder and more frantic, finally she shuddered and she relaxed from her first orgasm.

Harry continued to massage Ginny's breasts and clit until she reached down to grab Harry's cock through his jeans. He looked into her eyes and with a small nod he waved his wand and the rest of their clothing disappeared.

Ginny moved down and took Harry's cock into her mouth. Even though he was underfed, Harry was well endowed. As she continued to work on his cock Harry laid his head back and moaned softly.

God, where did she learn how to do this? Harry thought.

But another voice answered his thought. Where did you learn to please a woman Mr. Potter?

The voice was Ginny's. Harry wanted to ask her how she did that but she started to hum and play with his balls, which made Harry lose any coherent thought. To answer your question, I heard Lavender, Parvati and Hermione talking about it. They were comparing Seamus, Dean, and Ron. Though, I believe you have them all beat.

Harry laughed as he remembered where he got his education, his own dorm room. He had overheard Dean and Seamus talking about sex on a number of occasions.

Moments later Harry felt his balls tighten, "GINNY! I'M GOING TO CUM" and he did, right into her eager mouth. She swallowed every last drop. When she finished, she licked him clean then crawled up next to him.

"You know Harry, you gave me an orgasm with your hand, I gave you one with my mouth, I think its time we returned the favor to each other." She then proceeded to get into a '69' position with Harry where he tasted her sweet womanhood while her hands did things to Harry that he thought should be illegal. They both had rather strong orgasms moments later. After they recovered enough to move, Harry pulled Ginny into a loving embrace where they fell into a peaceful sleep.

As the new dawn broke over Scotland, everyone in Hogwarts Castle was peacefully asleep. Some people like Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna had fallen asleep in front of the fire in the common room.

All the others were actually in beds. As the sunlight began to stream into the common room, Hermione began to stir. She was never really a late sleeper, and with sleeping on the couch all night, she was a bit sore. She looked at her watch 4:45am; my god it's too early to think. She then turned and looked over at the other couch and saw Luna staring at her.

"You know Hermione; no one is going to be up for hours. Why don't we take the boys up to bed and go back to sleep?" It was the first thing Hermione had ever heard from Luna that made sense.

They both extruded themselves from their boyfriends and levitated them up to their dorm room. Luna moved Neville to his bed while Hermione did the same to Ron. The girls removed the boys' shoes, socks, sweaters, and shirts, then crawled into bed and back into the loving embraces of their men.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Harry had always thought he would be alone and never marry. Who really wanted to marry a freak? Then when he turned 11 and discovered the magical world. For the first time in his life, he belonged somewhere. He began to dream about having a family all his own like the Weasleys; in his third year he realized that he would always be a target for dark wizards.

So he came to the conclusion that he would always be fighting dark wizards and a family would get in the way. Then 3 weeks ago he began to have dreams at night that involved him finding a beautiful girl, getting married, and having a family. He now knew that the girl in his dreams was the same girl in his arms, his wife Ginny Potter.

When they had finally fallen asleep, Ginny had been wrapped in Harry's arms. Sometime during the night, Ginny moved so that she was lying on top of Harry. As Harry began to stir, He felt his morning arousal rubbing a certain part of Ginny's anatomy and decided to have a little bit of fun. He smiled and slid the head of his cock past the lips of her womanhood just a little bit. Ginny moaned softly in her sleep began to press her hips down to force his cock deeper into her.

Harry immediately picked Ginny up so he wouldn't penetrate anymore. Ginny opened her eyes and shot Harry a very dirty look. Harry just smiled and whispered in her ear.

"Patience sweetheart, when I make love to you for the first time, I want to make sure we have plenty of time." With Ginny's blush, Harry kissed her soundly and pulled her back close to him so they could cuddle some more.

At 6am, Harry's alarm on his wand went off. He rolled out of bed and headed for the bathroom to get ready for the day.

Ginny just laid there in bed for a moment trying to decide what to do first. From what she knew through the bond with Harry, she was now Lady Gryffindor, the Lady of Hogwarts. She could communicate with the castle and those bound to her like the house elves and ghosts

"Miffy!" Two female house elves appeared next to her bed.

"Good morning Mistress. How is Miffy be of service?"

"What time is breakfast and where?"

"Mistress Gryffindor, breakfast can be whenever you want. Headmaster Dumbledore always has summer breakfast in the Great Hall at 8am."

"Thank you Miffy that will be all."

Ginny got out of bed bear naked and sauntered over to the wardrobe where their clothing was. She noticed the terrible condition Harry's clothing was in and decided that he needed some new clothes and soon. She picked out clothing for both her and Harry and laid it out on the bed which had magically remade itself. She wasn't in the mood for a sundress, so she chose to wear shorts, sandals and one of Harry's old Quidditch shirts. She laid Harry out the best looking of Harry's clothes, which was still horrible. Ginny then walked into the bathroom, stark naked where Harry was just finishing up.

"You know Ginny, if you want to walk around naked all the time, I might not be able to control myself" Harry said smirking at his wife.

"Only in the bedchambers love; at least until we can make sure no one will walk into your office and disturb us." With one last look, Ginny made her way to the bath tub while Harry went to go get dressed.

He paused as he walked past the full length mirror. Since his powers were released, Harry's body had gone through a major growth spurt. He was now easily 6'3" and 220 pounds. He had broad shoulders now and was somewhat well toned. He still needed to lift more weights, but he wasn't bad looking. It was a long cry from the thin boy who came to Hogwarts 5 years ago. Harry smiled; dressed in the clothes Ginny had laid out, and headed out to his desk and a number of owls.
