Death's Life Debt Keeperoliver Chapter 19

Harry's evening with Ginny had been a very erotic one for Ginny. Harry had brought her to several orgasms using his tongue and fingers. The evening had heightened her wish to have Harry go all the way, but, Harry stood by his promise to her and Hermione. She wasn't frustrated, but ,many more nights like this and she was sure Harry would give in to her need.

Would Harry stay firm on his resolution, only time will tell. He had to admit it was too tempting to just give in. He had to find a way to adhere to this.

When the two woke up to the ladies getting ready for the day, they also got up, and prepared to meet the challenges of the day. Harry kissed Ginny with a long lingering kiss that spoke of his love for her. She returned the kiss with the same exuberance. Then Harry broke the kiss and offered her his hand to help her up. They showered together washing each others back and front. Taking there time, they each shared another orgasm before finishing their task of cleansing.

They got dressed and met the other ladies in the living room and left for breakfast. They all walked hand in hand to the great hall, and took a seat at the Ravenclaw table with Luna and her classmates. They were joined by Draco and Astoria, and Ron and Parvati. Harry looked to the four newcomers and smiled as he saw them all holding their mates hands. Ron even shared a kiss with Parvati, which shocked Ginny for her brothers show of affection in the public.

When they were done, Harry and his ladies stood up to head for class when a thrid year Gryffindor stopped them and told Harry that Professor McGonagall wished to speak to them all. They headed up to the Professors table and gathered around Minerva. "Harry, I had a talk with Minister Shacklebolt, and he told me about your Aunt's request. Because of this, I am granting you and your ladies the ability to leave the grounds this evening after classes and to return by dinner on Sunday. I hope that there is nothing wrong with your family, and everything goes well."

Harry had a look of doubt on his face, "I'm sorry Professor, but nothing ever goes well when I have to face MY FAMILY, as you so eloquently put it. I certainly wouldn't put it that way. Relatives yes, family no."

Minerva's hurt look told Harry she was sorry for ever allowing Albus to put him through all that abuse. "Don't hurt them too bad Mr. Potter. We don't want to see our resident hero locked up for muggle abuse."

Ginny and Luna held back a laugh at her words. Harry wouldn't be doing anything to his relatives. The ladies were a different story.

Their first class of the day had been Potions, and Harry still couldn't get over the remarkable change Professor Snape had taken. He no longer abused his students, and actually taught them in a friendly manner. He even joked with his classes when there was no brewing going on. His class had become one of the students favorites. Charms was the best with all of the students, as Professor Flitwick was always cheerful and smiling. This was the second class of the morning.

At Lunch, Harry talked to his fiance's about making a stop before going to the Dursley's in the morning. Ginny had made arrangements with her mother for the group to spend the two nights there. She was more than pleased that they had asked. Molly knew of the bonds that Harry and the ladies, including her daughter, were sharing. What really was amazing was that she accepted it so openly. She had to get Arthur to realize this, as he didn't like the thought of his only daughter being part of a harem. She told him it wasn't a harem, it was a family. All of the girls were there of their own free will. They wanted to be a part of the family.

After classes were through for the day, Harry and his ladies made their way to the Head Office where they would floo to the Burrow for the evening. Once again Minerva wished Harry luck.

Harry just said, "You should be wishing the luck on the Dursleys, they're going to need it."

"Don't be too rough on them Harry."

"OH, it's not me you have to worry about. It's Luna and Ginny, and probably Hermione, Daphne and Susan. They are not too happy with the lot right now. we can only hope that they have changed since the last time I saw them."

Ginny activated the floo, and her and Hermione walked through. Then Daphne and Susan, and Finally Harry and Luna, who requested to be carried bridal style. Harry laughed, and picked her up.

Minerva laughed at Luna's request, and watched as Harry raised her back, and had her tuck her legs so she wouldn't get hurt on the walls of the floo.

Every one standing around the fireplace laughed as Harry walked through with Luna in his arms. He put Luna down and Brushed off the ash from the fireplace. Some how Luna had escaped getting dirty. Ginny made a note to ensure she got the same treatment on the return trip. It looked very cozy.

Molly and Arthur greeted the group as they arrived, and brought them to the kitchen for supper which was already prepared. They talked about a lot of things during supper, but managed to avoid Harry's proposals. They wished to surprise them tomorrow evening, after Harry bought them their rings. Ginny also made it known that before they went to the Dursleys, they had to pay a visit to the twins so that Ginny could flaunt her ring.

The dinner that Molly served up was as usual above reproach. Not even the Hogwarts elves could rival her cooking. The touch of love she put into all her meals made it so much better.

After dinner, they retired to the sitting room, where they had tea. Molly took this time to ask Harry, "Harry, do you know what it is your Aunt and Uncle wish to talk about? It all sounds so rather urgent."

Harry shook his head, "Not a clue mum. Knowing them, it's probably to scold me for taking so long to finish of my task."

Molly was rosy cheeked from Harry's calling her mum. She had always wanted to hear that from him and Hermione, although she still had her mother and father. When she first thought that maybe her and Ron would get together, she wanted her to start calling her mum. When she heard them bickering all the time, and it was always because Ron was being an idiot, she dropped that idea, and hoped that Hermione would find a decent young man. She gleamed when she found out about Harry and Hermione's bond. Maybe she could get Hermione to call her mum yet.

When it was time for bed, Molly was crying when she joined Arthur in their bedroom. Arthur pulled her into a hug. Both her and Arthur were called mum and dad six times by the group. Molly had never felt more happy in her life. She now had twelve adults calling her mum. Now, it was time to start hearing Grandma and Grandpa. A few years down the line maybe, but it was something to look forward to.

Harry and his ladies were standing around the Burrow's floo ready to leave for Diagon Alley. Hermione had beat Ginny to the punch as she asked Harry to carry her through the floo. Harry agreed, but before they left, Ginny spoke up. "Before we leave, I just want everyone to know, the trip back to Hogwarts is mine and Harry's. Daphne, you and Susan can fight over the next one after that."

After they shared a laugh over Ginny's statement, the floo travel began with Ginny and Susan, followed by Luna and Daphne, and then Harry walked through carrying Hermione, who was covered in soot from the floo. She glared at Luna. "How?"

Luna smiled back at Hermione, "Full Bubble Charm."

Hermione looked incredulous at first, then broke out in laughter joined by the rest. It was so simple, yet it was only Luna who thought of it.

They walked out of the Leaky Cauldron, and through the barrier into the alley, taking in the sights. Since the fall of Tom Riddle, the wizarding world began to come to life, enjoying them selves. As Harry and his ladies walked through the alley, they were greeted by the folk, but were not swamped by the well wishers. They were allowed free travel, to go where they wished in peace. Harry's heart was filled with caring for the well wishers as he returned their greetings, as did the ladies.

Harry first went to Gringotts to get enough galleons to purchase his ladies rings, but when he met Griphook, he was asked why not visit his family's vault first. Harry's trust vault had been closed, and all of the money in it transferred to his family vault. The trip to the family vault had varied responses. Hermione and Daphne looked green while they travelled. Susan and Ginny were not too affected, and Harry and Luna were excited by the ride. Luna would raise her arms up in the air like she was on a muggle rollercoaster, screaming in delight. Harry was doing the same. Hermione and Daphne just wanted it to end, and did not look forward to the return trip.

Once inside Harry's vault, Griphook led him to the family jewels. Harry had the girls look at the rings that were displayed. Ginny was the first to find a ring, It had a large emerald surrounded by diamonds. It would be her wedding ring. Daphne was next, as she found another green stone that was darker than the emerald and larger. She found out from Griphook that the stone was called Dementoid Garnet. It was also surrounded by diamonds, but the Garnet shined with more brilliance than the diamonds.

Susan found a ring that had a large blue stone that when it hit different light sources, it turned violet. She chose this one. It was a five carat Tanzanite surrounded by blue stones that turned green. These were Alexandrite. She fell in love with it.

Hermione found a blue sapphire that was just a single setting ring, that she fell in love with.

Luna took the longest to find her right ring. She went through a lot of rings but couldn't find her defining ring, until she found a ring box that she opened. The ring was what she was looking for.

The main setting of the ring was the color of the clearest sea. The surrounding stones were of the stars that shine at night. She took the ring out of the box and held it up to the light. The rays coming off the stones created a pattern on her chest like the halo on a full moon. She looked to Harry, and like the others, he took it from her. He then went down the line placing the selected rings on the corresponding ladies ring fingers. He kissed each hand as he placed the rings. The ladies stood admiring their rings, and Harry turned to Griphook. "Griphook, my friend, is there anything else I should look into while I'm here."

Griphook led him to a little cove where there were several paintings hanging. Harry looked at the paintings, and found what Griphook wanted him to find. Portraits of his parents, and Sirius. Sirius left it here so that when Harry found them they would all be together. Griphook told him that when he was ready, all he had to do was call them and they would awaken. They were also self sizing so that he could store them in his pockets. He pulled the three portraits off the wall and they shrunk as he took them to his pockets. He knew exactly when he would activate the portraits.

The cart ride back up found Hermione and Daphne in better feelings, Ginny and Susan feeling the same, and a more subdued Harry and Luna. Luna because of her brilliant ring, and Harry because of the treasure stored in his pocket, which none of the girls knew about.

From Gringotts, Harry and his ladies went to Fred and George's shop. George was the one to greet the six and escort them to the rear of the store where the twins did their experimenting. They found Fred in the middle of a test on a new product. He used it on a monkey that was sitting in front of him as if it were waiting. Once the monkey consumed the material, his hair began to swirl around, then change color at the tip, and then it straightened out in all directions. The monkey looked like he was hit with an electrical shock which set his hair ends of fire, they were so red. "SHIT." was all Fred said, as he turned and saw the group, "Oh, hi guys, and lovely ladies. You too Gin."

If Fred had been a slice of bread, he would be toast. The look he received was not a pleasant one. Then Ginny turned all sweet and pulled George with her. When she got them together, she placed her hand in the middle of them, which brought the expected reaction, as the twins eyes grew to the size of golf balls. They looked back up to her, and Fred said, "He didn't?"

George said, "No way."

Ginny answered her brothers, "Yes way, and he did, five times as a matter of fact." and four more hands made their way into the area between the twins, each sporting a different beautiful ring. George just whistled.

"They must have set you back a pretty penny Harry? Thank goodness we are doing so well. Your share may cover the price of one of those rings."

"Keep my share, the rings didn't cost me a penny." Harry answered.

Ginny then said, "Be at the Burrow for dinner. That is when we will be telling mum and dad. Now if you will excuse us, we have to be going."

"Wait Gin, I have to ask. Fred, you sounded disappointed at the results of your test. What was it supposed to do?"

Fred looked up at Harry, "It was supposed to be the Hermione Granger just waking up look. Sort of like a rat's nest. Instead it looked like a Porcupine on fire."

For the second time Fred may have wished he was some where else, from the glare he received from Hermione. The lovers left before Hermione could retaliate. Fred had been spared.

Harry and the girls left the shop for the apparation point, and apparated to the playground behind #4. Harry took a breath, and they made their way forward to his relatives house. He never felt like it was a home. He knocked on the door, and waited.

It wasn't a long wait as Petunia opened the door and allowed the six to enter, never greeting them. She walked back to the kitchen, and waited for them there. Harry started through the living room but was stopped by Vernon, "About time you got here boy, and why are all these freaks here?" Four of the ladies were red with fury, but the fifth one stepped forward to Vernon. He looked up at the small blond and asked , "And what do you want, Freak?"

Luna shook her head. "You really should show some manners in the presence of ladies. And Harry hasn't been a boy since he started at Hogwarts. I think it is Time for some one to show you how to act to your superiors, which could be any one we called in from the street out side this house."

Vernon began to turn his shade of purple when outraged, "I will not be talked to in this manner while in my own home. Boy straighten this witch out, before I get mad."

"Sorry Uncle Vernon. Luna has a mind of her own, and has always spoke it. I'm afraid you have over stepped your boundaries with your verbal abuse this time. I can't control what she does to you. Tough luck there. I would hate to be in your shoes."

Luna raised her wand, and with a flick of her wrist, and a small incantation, Vernon lost all his weight he so proudly displayed. His skin however did not shrink, and hung on him like waves of the ocean. It was hard to explain what he looked like. Think of the American commercial of the Michelin Tire man, with all his inner tubes deflated and hanging down his body.

The group left the poor excuse of a man to his problems, and joined Petunia in the kitchen. She had them take a seat, and joined them, not offering any refreshments. "It is your fault. You are the cause of our Dudley being who he is now. If you hadn't gone off leaving us to go into hiding, he would never have met that girl he is with. That freak he is with now. Yes, he met one of your kind and fell in love with her. He wants nothing to do with us now. We want him back, and it's up to you to bring him back with out this freak. We want our old Duddykins back."

Harry laughed at Dudley's nickname. He always thought it was stupid. "And what makes you think I could do that, even if I wanted to?"

"Because you are one of them, and Dudders began to get close to you when we left. Then while in hiding, he began to respect you. All this talk of you being a savior and such. Utter nonsense if you ask me. You bring him back, and you bring him back now."

"And if I refuse?"

Petunia was at a loss for words. She was not use to this Harry. A strong independent Harry. She also didn't like the glares she was getting from his friends. Then she noticed one of the ladies was wearing. It was on Ginny's finger. "What is she wearing Lily's ring for? Have her take it off, and give it to me. She was my sister, and I deserve to have something to remember her by."

Harry laughed at her. "You're insane, you know that. To think I would listen to your nonsense, and jump at your command. Mum would curse you for what you said about her before I left for my first year at Hogwarts. Do you think she would actually give you something like this, so that you could sell it and use the money for your own ends?"

"Lily loved me, and she would want me to have it. If she were here she would even tell you this."

"Funny you should say that, as it just so happens she is here, if you wish to talk to her?"

Petunia looked over to Ginny as if she were Lily, but, knew it wasn't. Different eyes, nose, ears, color hair, Lips. No this girl was beautiful, where Lily was pleasing to look at. "Where is she then, show her so that we can settle this here and now."

Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out the three portraits. They expanded to the original size, and Harry put his father's and Sirius' portraits back in his pocket. He held up his mother's and said, "Lily Potter, mum, would you please speak to us?"

Petunia nearly fainted when Lily's portrait figure began to stir, as if waking up from a deep sleep. Harry's face was the first thing she saw and screamed, "James, you still live? I am so sorry my darling."

"Mum, I'm not dad, I'm your son Harry."

"Harry? My baby. Oh you are so handsome my son, like your father. I am so sorry for not being there for you as you grew up. I hope Sirius took good care of you, and didn't turn you into one of his henchmen. And what of Remus, where is he, and how is he doing. Harry stay away from Peter Pettigrew. He changed, and is not the same Peter we went to school with."

"Mum, we will talk later, and you will not like a lot of what you hear, You will love some of what you hear, but for now I would like you to meet your sister Petunia."

"Why would I like to talk to that stuck up Priss. She hated me for what I became. Jealous because she wasn't one."

"I was not jealous. I have never been jealous of you, and your kind."

"Petunia, is that you? Yes, I can it now. Same Horse like features. Long neck, Long nose, big ears. Harry how is it you know of her?"

"I survived here for sixteen years mum."

"WHAT! That prick Dumbledore forced you to live here for that long. If he were here at the moment, he would get a piece of my mind. How did my sister treat you Harry, Like you were her personnel slave?"

"Exactly!"

Petunia fell to the floor at Lily's tirade, "YOU BITCH! YOU TREATED YOUR OWN NEPHEW LIKE HE WAS INDEBTED TO YOU. NO, BITCH IS TO GOOD TO BE CALLING YOU. YOU ARE A COLD HEARTED CUNT WHORE, WHO SHOULD BE HORSE WHIPPED."

"Mum calm down. It's over. She can't do anything else to me. However she thinks she has a right to your property, like this ring." Harry picked up Ginny's hand and showed his mother her ring.

Lily looked at the ring, and then Ginny, and smiled brightly at her. "She is beautiful Harry. She will make a fine wife. AS FOR YOU, YOU SORRY EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING, WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DEMAND ANYTHING OF MINE, AS IF YOU EARNED IT. DID YOU EVEN SPEND ANY OF THE MONEY GIVEN TO YOU TO RAISE MY CHILD ON HIM?"

"We gave him food and shelter, that was enough. We took him in when no one else would have him."

Ginny had enough, "That is such a lie. There were many families that would have cared for Harry, and treated him like a loved one. First and foremost was my mum and dad."

Lily smiled down on Her, "And who would they be my dear, OOOh let me guess, Molly and Arthur Weasley. Yes that's who they are aren't they. I can recognize their love in your eyes. They would have loved Harry as one of their own, NOT LIKE SOME ONE ELSE I KNOW."

"You have no right to talk to me like this Lily. I am your older sister, and I took care of your son, when you weren't here. Maybe we didn't love him like our own, but, he was cared for, and look at him now."

Harry laughed, "Are you trying to take credit for the way I see people. If that were the case, I would have become another Tom Riddle. I owe the way I am to the Weasleys, and Hermione. They taught me how to love. How to act, and how to live. You only taught me how to hate and to serve."

"Why you ungrateful little brat."

"SILENCE! Harry will leave here and never return. Do not expect any thing from him, as all you will get is trouble. Harry why did the Prick leave you here with the Cunt. What happened to Sirius?"

"He was framed by Pettigrew and sent to Azkaban, where he stayed for twelve years. He was only out for two, when he was killed by his cousin, Bellatrix."

"Is Wormtail still alive?"

"No."

"Remus?"

"Yes."

"Oh thank Merlin. At least one of us is there for you. I just wish we were there for him, he must be so lonely."

"Why would he be lonely?"

"With his condition no one wants to be around him Harry. Surely you know about him."

"Of course we did, and so did his wife. And so will his son."

"Moony is married and with child. Oh Harry I must meet them. This is wonderful. Harry please put me back and away from this piece of shit I used to call my sister. Bitch, you will never hear from the Potters again. I curse you and Your Husband from now on. You will Know fear, despair and need from this moment on. Ok Harry I am done here. I love you my son, now and always." She blew Harry a kiss and went still once again, and Harry put her back in her pocket.

The group got up to,leave, when the door bell rang. Vernon answered the door, and was shocked to see the CEO of Grunnings standing there.

"Dursley we need to talk."

"Of course sir, come right in."

He walked in to the living room and saw Harry and his ladies standing there. "I know you from some where son, but where. Oh yes, the telly. You were on the news. You saved a school from some terrorist group, didn't you?"

Harry wondered how the muggle news learned of his encounter, "Yes sir."

"Excellent, good to see Dursley did something right for a change if he raised you."

"He didn't do it sir, another family helped me with this fight. Uncle Vernon would have been worthless there."

"As he is at Grunnings. That is why I am here. Your performance at the plant has been less than acceptable Vernon. You are not what we are looking for as a member of our company who look to family first. I have been told of the threats you have given the people under you. Taking credit for others ideas, and accomplishments. It was like stealing from the company and that is about to stop. You are here by demoted to the stock room where you will hold the position of stock handler. If this is not acceptable, then here are your walking papers." He said holding out release papers.

Vernon passed out. The papers were left on the end table, and the CEO shook Harry's hand, and bid every one a good day.

Vernon would report to the stockroom on Monday morning. He was too old to be looking for another job.

Lily's curse has already kicked into affect. It would get worse when Vernon got to work on Monday and find out his boss is his own son, who he had disowned.

How much worse could it get.
