*Chapter 7*: The Gift of Night Dumbledore made many attempts to gain control of the Potters in the nine years that had passed since Voldemort fell.
He had tried to proclaim Lily as a dark magic user in Wizengamot and unfit to raise the child who defeated of Voldemort. Charles easily blocked this move. He told the Wizengamot that Lily had used Potter family magic to kill her enemies. He also stated that the Wizengamot or Dumbledore had no business interfering in their family matters.
After that ploy had failed, Dumbledore tried a different tactic. He tried to get Percy away from the family citing Harry being the 'boy who lived', his young brother was bound to get jealous over his elder brother's fame. He secretly planned to use the younger brother as a weapon against the older brother.
Lily completely refused to let Dumbledore touch her kids or take anyone of them away from her. The rest of the Potters supported her and block Dumbledore's nonsensical attempts to break up the family.
When little Harry heard the bad old man trying to take his little brother away from him, he changed Dumbledore into a fat goat and sent him away using the shadows.
Next day Dumbledore had woken up in a garbage dump yard with half eaten trash in his mouth. After that day he never directly tried to interfere with the Potters. He started planning and scheming against the Potters.
He still hadn't figured out how the Potters had managed to wipe out the assassin order or find any information about the powers Lily had used in the ambush. All he knew was that his best chance to get Harry under his wing was when he came to Hogwarts as he would be away from his family.
(((o)))
Harry had grown up to be a mischievous and fun loving 10 year old boy. He loved to prank people and his main targets were Sirius and Remus. Both the Marauder never figured how Harry was so successful in conducting his pranks on them without a wand. As they didn't know about his wandless magical ability, they feared the time when Harry would receive his wand.
Harry use to call Nyx as 'mother' and Lily as 'mom' to differentiate between the two of them. He was close to both of them and always followed their instructions. Harry didn't say it but he always blamed himself for his father's death. The only reason he hadn't killed Dumbledore yet for his hand in his father's death was because both his mother and mom had stopped him.
Harry was closer to Lily than he was with Nyx. The main reason for it was that Lily had been there for him since he was born. Even though he knew about Nyx having a hand in his birth he had physically met her for the first time when he was 7 years old. Nyx use to visit Harry in his dreams from time to time.
Harry was a good friend of Sirius's cousin Nymphadora Tonks she had just completed her fifth year at Hogwarts. She preferred to be called by her last name only and would hex anyone other than Harry for using her first name. She was Harry's only childhood friend as he didn't mingle with the normal public or meet anyone close to his age group other than Tonks and Percy.
Harry was over protective of his younger brother Percy from a very young age. Especial after Dumbledore had tried to take him away. The two brothers had a great bond between them. They knew their heritage and were aware of their destinies from a very young age. Only Harry knew of Nyx's involvement in his birth. Not wanting to keep a big secret from his brother, he informed his brother that Nyx was his patron Goddess.
The rest of the family members were also shocked by this news. The Potters from time to time had patron Gods or Goddess but they never had a primordial as a patron before.
The physical training of the brothers began at the age of 3. They were taught to wield various magical and non magical weapons. Though Percy lacked the ability to use wandless magic, he still could wield magical weapons.
Their training didn't compromise their childhood. The combative training was easy for them as both of them as they had instinctual knowledge of combat. They both had fun while growing up. The trainers being their grandparents and great grandparents tried to make the training sessions more enjoyable.
The gap in the skills of the brothers was evident as Harry had a two year lead over Percy. The gap between their skills started to widen when Harry reached the age of seven. As promised Nyx took him under her wing and started to train him at nights.
Unfortunately for Percy, Poseidon couldn't take him into his domain to properly train him. Zeus and Hades would have thrown a hissy fit. This didn't stop him from frequently visit Percy at Potter manor. Poseidon did help Percy to gain more control over powers he had gained from him. Poseidon had deemed that Percy was his strongest demigod son ever. Percy had gained his ability to manipulate earth and create storms.
It wasn't difficult to find family members willing to train the brothers to use their other godly powers. Initial Percy found difficult to use the powers he gained from Apollo as the fire base of those powers contradicted his water powers. The only power of Apollo he could use right now was to sing and write songs and poems. Slowly he was getting better and could fire a flaming arrow now.
(((o)))
Nyx on Harry's eighth birthday had given him a weapon created by her. The primary form of this weapon was a double long edge sword but Harry could manipulate its shape, size, form and appearance as he saw fit. The weapon could form a bow with unlimited arrows, a dagger, twin blades, hunting knifes, etc.
"Does this weapon have any other powers?" Harry naïvely asked her. "Any weapon is just a tool Harry. A weapon becomes strong and powerful if its wielder is strong and powerful." Nyx explain. "What about the weapons of the Olympians?" Harry asked. "Those weapons are just their symbols of power. They just possess the power of the God or the Goddess that wield them." She answered. "Do you think someone like Zeus or Poseidon would become helpless without their weapon?" she asked him. "I don't know about Zeus but uncle Po is very powerful. I don't think his trident gives him power." Harry answered after think about all the things he had seen him do.
Nyx placed her weapon inside Harry's body by giving him a French kiss. She then showed him how to summon it and wield it properly. Her weapon was effective against mortals and immortals alike.
The French kiss by Nyx caused Harry to start paying more attention to the females.
(((o)))
Couple of weeks before his eleventh birthday, Harry received his Hogwarts letter as he sat down to have his breakfast. On the front of the envelope it read Mr. H. Potter, Potter Manor. 'Guess the manor wards prevent them from tracking my room.' He thought. Even though the letter was expected he opened it with great excitement by breaking the seal with the Hogwarts emblem. He pulled out the letter and read:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
Headmaster: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

Deputy Headmistress.
Harry pulled out a letter from his pocket and sent it with the owl that had delivered his Hogwarts letter.
"What was that?" Percy asked. "That was my acceptance letter little bro. I had already written it and kept it ready." Harry replied.
"So you are going to Hogwarts then?" Percy asked getting disappointed at the prospects of Harry leaving him for nine months a year. "Don't worry little bro I would sneak out and come visit you whenever I get the chance." Harry told him.
"We will go to Diagon alley to get rest of your school supplies after the breakfast is over." Lily informed them. She knew the day would come when Harry would leave her to go to the Scholl but she wasn't prepared for it. She tried not to show any weakness in front of Harry as he might change his mind and remain at home to be with her.
(((o)))
Before leaving the house Lily placed a strong glamour charms on herself and her kids. It was difficult for the Potters to move about in Diagon alley without hiding their identity. The glamour also served as additional protection from some of the free death eaters might try to avenge their fallen comrades by taking a potshot.
They didn't need to visit Gringotts as Lily always carried more than enough money for shopping.
"So what do you need to buy Harry?" she asked.
Harry removed his shopping list and gave it to his mother. She checked it out.

"So we just need to buy your uniform and your DADA book. Do you want anything Percy?" she asked after going through the list Harry handed her.
"How about going to the ice cream shop mom?" Percy asked. Percy also wanted to buy a broomstick so he could be able to fly with his big brother but he knew that his mother would never allow it. She had got him a Pegasus named Blackjack when he wanted to fly.
Lily just chuckled and replied, "First we completely Harry's shopping then we can all go and eat ice cream. We will buy your uniform first harry."
"Ok mom, we should shop quickly so I can get some blue ice cream." Percy said getting excited. He just loved blue colour.
Harry was more interested in looking at the many witches moving around in Diagon alley. He casually checked them out.
They went to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Madam Malkin, a squat witch who wears mauve robes. As they entered the store Harry caught sight of a black haired beauty. She also seemed to be in the first year like him. Just by looking at her now he could tell that she would grow up to be a bombshell. Judging by the woman standing behind her he could tell that she got her figure from her mother. Looking at the attire of the woman he could tell she came from at least a noble family.
He was happy about the fact that they didn't look down upon them when they crossed them on the way out. This indicated that their family wasn't a blood bigot.
"Mom, do you know who they were?" he asked.
"The girl you were admiring was Daphne Greengrass and the woman behind her was her mother Lady Greengrass." Lily said playful.
"I don't understand why you like looking at girls, big bro? They don't look so special to me." Percy asked.
"You will understand in when you grow up little bro." Harry told him.
"Harry at the rate which charm girls of their feet you will end up with a harem." Lily scolded him playfully. Whenever Harry meet any girl even in under the effect of the glamour charm masking his true identity he could sweep any girl of her feet.
"Hogwarts dear?" Madam Malkin asked interrupting their conversation.
"Yes, ma'am. I would like a complete set of Hogwarts uniform made of from your finest silk, having the standard weather control enchantments." Harry said in polite voice.
"Those robes aren't cheap. They would cost you about 50 Galleons each." She said as she started to take measurements.
"Don't worry about the cost. If I am impressed with your work you would be suitably rewarded." He stated in a manner indicating his status.
"You would have to pay half in advance and the remaining on delivery. Your robes would be ready in one hour." She said.
After making the advance payment they left the shop. As they were leaving the shop Harry said something which stunned Lily. He said, "don't worry mom, no matter how many girls I look at you would always come first." If Lily would have looked at Harry close she would have seen the blue twinkle in his eyes.
(((o)))
Inside Flourish & Blotts, Harry came across a bushy brown hair girl running around with a large pile of books. Her two large front teeth made her look cute. While Harry was watching the bushy brown haired girl, his mother bought his DADA book.
Seeing Harry just standing there watching another girl, Percy dragged him towards Florean Fortescue's ice cream parlour after their mother left the store.
(((o)))
Percy ordered every blue coloured ice available. The shop owner Mr. Fortescue was initially surprised by the demand but complied with it after seeing the boy's mother nod. Percy got a massive bowl of ice cream. Harry and Lily just shared some of his ice cream.
Lily was still contemplating the meaning of the words Harry said to her. Surely he wasn't implying that… she didn't even want to think about it.
(((o)))
Harry was impressed with the work Madam Malkin did on his robes so he gave her a 100 Galleons tip.
(((o)))
Harry had made his own wand as it was a tradition in the Potter family to make one after the seventh birthday. His wand was 11 inch long made of Holly wood and had a liquid core of his own blood.
The wood for Percy's wand was obtained from a tree in Atlantis and its core was made of Amphitrite's hair. It also was 11 inch long and had a dark greenish colour. Amphitrite had specially gifted him her hair to make his wand.
Since Percy was incapable of using wandless magic, Harry had gifted him an invisible gauntlet to be used as a magical focus. Though Percy found it difficult to use he still loved the gauntlet. The gauntlet also functioned as a wand holster.
(((o)))
Harry already had a potion set, as his many times great grandfather Nicholas had covered the subject of potions before he had started to teach him the basics of alchemy.
Harry was taught both wandless magic and wand based magic by Hecate on Nyx's order. As payment for her teaching Harry magic she had asked Harry to impregnate her with a daughter when he was capable of procreating. Harry had agreed to her terms on the condition that she won't get to bear his first child.
This deal had occurred when Harry was nine year old.
(((o)))
Harry's eleventh birthday was celebrated mainly with family and close family friends. Nyx and Hecate also attended the party. The non family members knew Hecate as Harry's tutor and Nyx as Lily's friend. They didn't know about the existence of Gods or Goddess.
Being the womanizer that he was, Sirius had tried to hit on both of them. Nyx had polite refused his advances while Hecate changed him into a rabbit. Remus had a good laugh at Sirius' displeasure and taunted him about losing his charms.
The icing on the cake was when both of them flirted back with Harry when he had hit on them in front of Sirius. Hecate actual wanted to take Harry to bed after the party was over but Nyx and stop her saying that she had to wait for her turn. She reminded her that the agreement was for Hecate to become the mother of Harry's second child.
"Alright then you sleep with him first then I will have my turn." Hecate said getting frustrated. "I will have my turn after you are finished with him." She added.
"I already slept with him but I never said that I would sire a child with him." Nyx surprised her with the answer.
Harry received many gifts on his birthday; the most notable ones were his father's invisibility cloak giving to him by his mother and the second version of the Marauder's map given to him by Sirius and Remus. Harry felt odd that Hecate didn't give him any presents even though she was at the party.
Harry vividly remembered the gift that Nyx gave him last night after his family had wished him.
Flashback
As Harry lay on his bed, he felt shadows rise up an engulf him. He didn't try fighting them as he felt the warm presence of his mother in them. The shadows took him to his mother's domain.
The shadows around him dissolved as he felt his mother embrace him. "Happy birthday Harry." She said and gave him a small peck on his lips.
"So did you receive any gifts so far?" she asked.
"Not yet." He replied. "So where is my present?" he asked getting excited. His mother always got him lovely presents on his birthday.
"You are going to love my present." She said as shadows slowly started to creep up his body. The shadows engulfed him. This time the shadows didn't take him anywhere but he felt that they had somehow altered his body. As the shadows receded he saw his body had aged. He now looked like a sixteen or a seventeen year old. He looked at his mother in confusion.
"I have aged your body for tonight so you can properly enjoy my gift." She said while dissolving both their clothes.
(warning lemon ahead)
They both stood complete naked in front of each out. Harry was completely mesmerized by his mother's body. To him she was the second most beautiful woman in the world.
She pulled Harry into a lip kiss. He was still too shocked to respond. He started to reciprocate the kiss after her tongue had gained enter into his mouth. A blue twinkle appeared in his eyes.
Harry's hand started roaming over his mother's body. He gently touched and caressed her pleasure points. His mother moaned in appreciation of his touch. One of his hands cupped her behind while his other had started playing with her breasts.
Nyx broke their kiss and said, "Suck on them. I couldn't feed you when you were a baby hope I can make up for it right now."
"I did drink your milk through my mom till Percy was born." Harry said before starting to kiss the top of her right nipple. He rolled his tongue over and gave it a few flick with his tongue while pinch her left nipple.
"Stop playing with it at start sucking." She ordered. "Yes mother." He replied before taking her right nipple into his mouth. He started to gently suck on her nipple while moving his left hand towards her womanhood. He placed his right hand on her back pulling her body closers to his. He inserted a finger into her womanhood cause her to moan in pleasure. As he drank his mother's milk he fingered her into having multiple orgasms.
Nyx lifted Harry's head from her nipple and pulled him into a kiss. She could taste her milk in his mouth. As Harry was kissing his mother he realized that both of them very floating in air. He felt her hand guide his erect member into her womanhood. She impaled herself in one swift motion, taking his entire length in her core.
"How do you like my gift?" she asked as she started to ride him. "I know you always dreamt about doing this to me."
"I am loving ever movement of it mother. I can't last much longer. After all this is my first time." Harry said with a groan.
"I know that you were a virgin Harry. Don't worry about getting me pregnant, I can choose if I want to conceive a child or not. I know that you want to impregnate another woman with your first child." She told him.
Harry released his seed into his mother causing her to have an orgasm. This action in turn caused her womanhood to milk his member. "How do you know about that?" he asked after he got his bearing right.
"You are my son Harry I know everything about you. I also know that even though you tremendously enjoyed our encounter a small part of you wished that you released the large load of your potent seed in her womb." Nyx informed him.
"That may be true but that doesn't mean I am not going to plough throughout the night mother." Harry said getting hard inside her womanhood.
"You are forgetting one thing my son. You are currently in my domain. The domain of the eternal night." She said remaining him.
"I know that mother. I also know that time has no jurisdiction here. So we can do this till your heart's content." He replied starting to move inside her.
That night Nyx probably would have fucked and sucked him dry if she hadn't been providing him with nourishment in form of her divine milk and other bodily fluid from time to time.
(End of lemon)
(((o)))
Zoi's essence enjoyed the encounter with his beloved sister through Harry's body. The role his sister had played his birth had made his essence stronger in Harry than any other Potter before him. His semiconscious state didn't change the fact that Harry was mortal. Maybe a demigod but still a mortal. His sister taking out her eons of frustration on the mortal body of Harry caused tremendous strain on it. Harry/ Zoi endured the strain to make his mother/ Sister happy.
Harry also gained some benefit after the encounter. His stamina had increased greatly from once again drinking his mother's divine milk and the excessive workout that he got.
Nyx also increased the invulnerability of his skin and made it more spell resistant as she knew he would be going to Hogwarts.
End Flashback
(((o)))
Harry felt that his mother had given him the best gift on his birthday with an open invitation for an encore.
The month of August passed quickly. Harry felt odd returning into his 11 year old body again. The changes that his body had undergone on his eleventh birthday had caused is hormones to go out of control. As he result Harry's training had taken a back stage, as his spent most of his time with Nyx in her bed.
Nyx was the only one who kept hormonal Harry in check. While enjoying his company she also helped in getting his hormones under control.
(((o)))
Percy wasn't allowed to see Harry off at the train station. He had wanted to go but his mom had refused it. His grandparents were going to stay at home with him. His mom had reasoned that this was the first time Harry was going to make a public appearance so naturally he was going to be hounded by people and reports.
There would be some people in the crowd how might take a pot shot at their family. There was also a slim chance of a monster passing by getting his scent. Lily knew that Percy could handle himself but she didn't want to expose him to any unnecessary dangers.
Harry was dressed in black robes with a Potter family crest on it. His luggage was shrunk and place in his pocket. On his shoulder sat a magnificent black bird of an unknown species. It was a gift from his mother on his tenth birthday. His wand was placed in an invisible wand holster below his wrist on his right hand. After a teary good bye from his grandmother and Percy, Harry left for King's Cross railway station with his mom via a portkey.
(((o)))
As expected, there was a crowd of reporters waiting on the platform 9 and three-quarters. One of the reporter spotted Lily Potter heading towards the train with someone who looked like a younger and healthier version of James Potter.
"The Potters have arrived." He shouted pointing towards the mother and son duo. All the reporters surrounded them and started asking questions in a very chaotic manner. Some people were asking Harry for an autograph.
Lily drew her wand and lazily waved it. The people in front of them moved to make way for them at the same time Harry wandlessly placed a silencing charm on the crowd.
"I am here to board the Hogwarts express and not to give an interview or to give anyone my autograph." He stated in an authoritative voice.
"Harry, be good and behave as much as possible and remember what I told you last night." Lily said giving her son a good bye kiss on his forehead.
"I remember them mom. I will write to you every day. Bye mom." He said giving her a good bye kiss on her cheeks. With that he boarded the express and started looking through the compartments for Tonks.
