Chapter Thirty-six
Bloody hell!
As Harry and the younger part of the Order of the Twilight entered Gringotts that afternoon, they were greeted rather respectfully by the goblin guards and then leaded to Ragnok' office.
"Welcome to Gringotts." the old goblin grinned. "I earlier received word of your meeting with the Minister."
"Yeah, I retrieved the prophesy as well." Harry nodded as they sat down. "Turns out that either I kill Voldy or he kills me. Oh, and he made me his equal when he first tried to kill me." he added as an afterthought.
"In other words you will kill the Dark Lord." Ragnok concluded.
"Nope." Harry smirked. "The prophesy could be interpretated in another way: both alive, both immortal. So, what are the chances of you keeping old Voldy on ice in a high security vault for a few hundred years?"
"110%" Ragnok grinned widely. "But, let's take things in order. I have gathered lists of your assets." he calmed down a bit and distributed sheets of paper among the group.
Harry received one for each of his lordships.

At the same time the others were gaping at their own properties and assets.
"Well, I think that I could live a few thousand years and still have more then enough money." Harry said weakly.
"Yes, as a matter of fact you Harry have more then 50% of the gold in Gringotts." Ragnok nodded.
"Well, at least I now know why we're called the Drake family: we're the only ones in Britain that are allowed to breed dragons." Hermione said.
"Yeah, and my and George's dream to open a joke shop will have to change a bit: we own Zonko's." Fred said.
"I own the biggest fairy breading region in Britain as well as half of the Ministry of Magic." Chisame said in disbelief.
"I own 5% of Antarctica." Eva read.
"I own 35% of the Moon." Chizuru mentioned.
"Okay, nobody can top that." Negi said concluded after a few moments of silence. "We can go over these things later; we have a few more urgent things to do here today."
"Yes. First of all, I have a large amount of basilisk meat for sale." Harry began.
"How old was the basilisk?" Ragnok inquired.
"About 1000 years old, give or take a few years." Harry said to a now drooling goblin leader.
In manner of minutes an old goblin had arrived at Ragnok' call and determined that the basilisk was 1012 years old and that the overall value of the entire quantity Harry had for sale was 600.000.000 galleons. Harry instructed that 100.000.000 were to put in a new vault for Ginny Weasley and 100.000.000 in a new vault for Ron Weasley. But unlike Ginny who could access the vault at all times, Ron had to receive permission from either Harry or Fred in order to even know of its existence. So far, the traitorous brat was less then worthy.
After that, they headed to the chamber where bonds were detected. Like before, Negi was engaged to all of his partners. But now another detail was added to Asuna' name: there was a marriage contract from the Entheofushia family that bonded them. Also, they found out how come both Negi and Kotaro were engaged to their partners.
"In the case of Kotaro Inugami, it is the fact of his distinct yokai lineage that made the provisional pactios permanent ones, thus the current situation." Ragnok began. "As for Lord Springfield… hehehe…" the goblin chuckled "…did you ever wonder why you never met a female Ministra of your father?"
"Um, no." Negi said slowly.
"It is because of what you may call Springfield family magic. Any woman a Springfield bonds with magically, that bond instantly becomes a marriage bond and any pactio with a woman is a permanent one." Ragnok grinned. "That is why the only woman your father made a pactio with was your mother."
"I…I see…" Negi rubbed his forehead.
None of the others had any changes in their bonds. Except Harry, of course.
"Let's see now…" Ragnok began as he examined the names "Other the six from yesterday, there are Su Li from a marriage contract from Ravenclaw, Tracy Davies from a marriage contract from Slytherin, Parvati and Padma Patil from a double marriage contract from Hufflpuff, Ginny Weasley and Penelope Clearwater from marriage contract from Gryffindor, Nymphadora Tonks from a marriage contract from Black and…." the goblin paused as he double checked this last one "…and Chao Lingshen from a marriage contract from Peverel."
At this everyone turned towards Chao who was staring at the results deep in thought.
"I didn't know that bonds like these can be achieved between people from different time periods." Chao said. "It's fascinating!" cue sweatdrop.
"And they call me a cradle robber." Ayaka muttered.
"Um, besides that…" Harry said carefully.
"Oh, yeah." Chao nodded and grabbed Harry by the collar of his robes and mashed her lips against his. The kiss continued for nearly a minute before Chao took a step back to breathe. "Well, now I definitely have no excuse to leave this time period, but a very good reason to stay." she giving Harry a seductive smile.
Soon after that they other girls present took their turn at showing their future husband how pleased they were with this arrangement. After Parvati and Padma kissed him, Harry was muttering something about Hufflepuffs and sticking together, which was odd since neither girl had been sorted into Hufflepuff. But after this pleasant moment, they got back to serious things.
"Molly is going to kill me." Harry stated.
"No, she won't." Fred said amused after coming to terms with the fact that Ginny was her own person and had her own life. "She always wanted a daughter. And since the first born female Weasley is to marry you…"
"Maybe. But I hardly know Su. All I really know about her is that she's a fourth year Ravenclaw." Harry said.
"Well, I can tell you that she likes you and she isn't seeing anyone right now." Luna said. "She wanted to go with you to the Yule Ball last year, but had to go home for some Anniversary."
"Isn't Penelope with that prat Percy?" Ginny inquired.
"No, she broke up with his in her seventh year at Hogwarts." Harry shook his head.
"How do you know that?" Hermione asked surprised.
"I met her today in the Department pf Mysteries. She had a hood on, but I recognized her and we chatted a bit." Harry explained.
"So that leaves Tonks…." Hermione said slowly.
"Well, I know Tonks more then Penelope and Su, but I just met her this summer…" Harry said thoughtfully. "How did I get this contract again?"
"Every Lord Black must marry the cousin closest to his age. And miss Tonks is just four years older then you." Ragnok explained.
"I wonder what Narcissa will say when she hears that I'm also marrying her niece." Harry sighed.
"Yeah, about that… I kinda got the feeling that Tonks and Lupin were kind of close." Ginny mentioned.
"Okay… we're not telling anyone about this until we find out for sure about Tonks." Harry gulped.
"I wonder how that happened." Fred mussed. "I mean, they only met a few times starting this summer because of the Order of the Phoenix."
"Well, I have a few ideas, but I'll find out later." Harry narrowed his eyes.
After that they left Gringotts in order to tell them about the location of the Headquarters of the Order of the Twilight that Harry, Negi and Eva had decided upon: Founders' Island. But first, they had two more important trips to make.
A.N.: This chapter is a bit short, but I really want to get to the good stuff soon.
After careful consideration and a few suggestions from reviews and messages you sent me, I decided the final structure of Harry's Harem.
Chao was entirely my idea though and you can flame me to hell if you don't agree. If you DID like it, don't hesitate to Review and give me a few pointers for her.
In any case, this story's rating will change to M sometime in the next chapters. Not very soon, but it will happen.
