Chapter 18 – Your kidding?
Ronald Bilius Wesley was and is a lazy lout. He most likely graduated on some one else's work while he laid around complaining. He slept until he almost missed breakfast but would race down to shovel in as much as his mouth and pockets that would fit. He was rarely seen around the showers. So with all these good traits any girl that would look twice at him or got within breathing distance was mentally challenged. The fact was girls ran the other way gave him more to be jealous of or complain about. He was known here loosely as a teacher at Hogwarts. Teachers did not try and force their students into broom closets or demand sexual favors. Well the rumors were that Ronald was doing just that. A meeting was called with Flitwick and we were in Dumdums office shortly there after.
Dumdum was not interested. Flitwick called in a couple of Perfects who gave some names of girls that were avoiding Ron or his class. The girls were called in and at lease six admitted to being propositioned by Ron or threatened if they did not. Dumdum was not interested in removing Ron from Hogwarts.
~"Fleur drag the girls over in the corner and get an idea of what they think. I for one will not stay here if we have a deviant running around and a Headmaster who will do nothing."
~"I agree, let me see what the girls think, look's like Bilius is part of one of Dumdum's plans."
"Flitwick it looks like our Headmaster has plans for Bilius, wonder if Bilius will live through them…"
"You have no right to cast falsehoods and aspersions…"
~"Unanimous Harry, tell him it's the Weasel or us."
"Enough Headmaster, you either get rid of Ron or find yourself a new teacher." I said.
"That goes for me also Headmaster, this can not be tolerated." Flitwick stated.
"I'm sorry that you feel that way my boy but I can not let Ronald out of my sight at this time, the Greater Good you know."
"As you wish Headmaster, effective immediately we resign and will be off the premises by evening." I think he may have thought me or we were not serious, we left his office.
It was not long before we had the Freichfras elves in and the quarters packed and back at the Manor, it was now time for trouble making.

"That's right Amelia, that is a list of the girls we found out about with just a few questions, and Flitwick can also back us up in our claims." So Susan got in her hugs and we departed.
/Scene Break/
"That's right Rita; there is a list of girls that were turned over to the DMLE today. The Assistant Headmaster has also resigned over this so Hogwarts has very few Professors left. All Albus Dumbledore would say was he was retaining the pervert for the "Greater Good. The last time I heard that it was for the "Greater Good" was when he was trying to marry off the Wesley's youngest daughter to Harry Potter. You remember him, the Potter that Dumbledore kept trying to seize his vaults and put him in Azkaban. Yes it is indeed sad not that Voldemort is back we don't have The-Boy-Who-Lived around to give us hope. Strange that an A-K to the back at Hogwarts."
I made a mistake not thinking that the Dailey Profit didn't take our picture. We were on the front page of the Dailey Profit the next morning. Glamour or not someone recognized us or thought they did. The Dailey Profit ripped, tore, and screamed about the poor kids in school being molested by a pervert who the man in charge would not fire. The reasons why were totally made up and unbelievable but then came where was Harry Potter money now that Dumbledore had seized his vaults. Further how the boy who lived could be killed at our safe Hogwarts. Were we all doomed?
The Board of Governors had to physically take over the school just to control the students. Parents were sending Howlers and retired teachers were being pleaded with to return with huge increases in salaries. It seemed that Lord Freichfras and his wives had disappeared again. Dumdum disappeared quickly claiming an emergency meeting of the ICW, which of course he called.
Not forty-eight hours later:
"Harry we are bored, we need to get out of here and do something." Susan pouted.
"Well if you're bored I'll take your turn and let Harry do something that's never boring to me." Tracy was at it again.
"I might find something to occupy your time Susan, if you would like." Hannah purred.
Hermione always being the serious one, "How about we send an elf for reservations at the Dragon's Breath for tomorrow evening and…"
"Yes that and a cinema afterwards downtown London." Daphne was looking excited.
~"Harry we have got to get these girls jobs to keep them busy; they are tiring me out just with their being bored."
/Scene Break/
Our elves were no different that any other, they were closed mouthed about everything about being an elf. If you were the master and provided work they were the happiest thing around. If you started to pry into their lives or magic all you got was a POP and they were gone. Order them to tell and you got nothing yet there were some I swear if I just thought their name they appeared without being called. Our bunch was a happy crew so I never messed with a good thing.
The elves were bustling around preparing our muggle attire to be hidden by our very elaborate and costly robes. Going to the Dragon's breath was not like popping into McDonald's for a burger. Once we were done dinning we would call an elf that would take our robes back to the Manor while we headed to the Cinema, Squeaky had the duty for the evening. The night was falling so we 'floed' in at the Leakey Cauldron and enjoyed a nice stroll to the Dragon's Breath. That is when the evening went to Dragon Dung. I don't know if they started too soon or too late but we were in the process of entering the Dragon's Breath when the Deatheaters started pouring out of the surrounding buildings and alleys, all firing curses. If you have ever been in a disaster or building fire you know that the sheep immediately panic and will run over their own mothers to escape. While not true for all there is a built-in survival instinct. The sheep at the Dragon's Breath panicked and stampeded out the rear or tried, since the Deatheaters seemed to be entering from the front.
That stampeded helped us in the beginning; it jammed the rear doors like they were locked. The main reason was the dozen or so Deatheaters sending A-Ks at those trying to escape from the rear. As the dead fell the panicked sheep tried to crawl over the dead and escape. They only escaped into more A-Ks making the rear door impassable.
Fleur and I were mentally communicating and then yelling at the other girls, like pile up some tables and change them to stone. Drag the suit of armor over to help block the door. Pile more tables further back so when the first go we have something to fall back to. There was suddenly no front door or most of the front wall. Spells were flying. I could fade with only one girl so that was not an option. All of a sudden there was Squeaky and I yelled to tell Ragnok and the DMLE and squeaky was gone, later I could have kicked myself, Squeaky could have POPed us all out I think?
Spells were coming in but what surprised me were the spells going out, they were flat lethal. I could feel some and the color of others told me that a lot of those out going spells were founder spells or founder based. My super shield was being tested quite well and further destroying the building, not that the Deatheaters spells were innocent. While all this thinking was being done, it was done around thinking of the most horrendous spell I could throw at the enemy. One that was tiring was the Founders's super-duper looser spell as I called it, it was a multi colored curse, mostly red, white and blue. What it hit sizzled like a steak on a grill and evaporated somewhat like part of the building across the street, as the Deatheaters did not slow it down much.
You could tell help had arrived as the warriors screamed their cry, the Goblins had arrived. I was not going to stick my head out to find out but after a short while there was quiet. The Deatheaters that were able left and so did the Goblins, the DMLE arrived to find Harry and his wives in a field of death.
"Lord Freichfras are you and your wives ok or do you need medical treatment?"
"Thank you for your concern but we are fine, some minor cuts and bruises but we have already taken care of them." It's always funny when your dealing with someone who knew Harry Potter but now was dealing with Lord Freichfras, but all of our safety was based on our secrecy so no one should know.
~"We will talk about that later Harry, right now let's get the statements done and get out of here." Fleur didn't feel happy or relieved but sort of scared.
We made our statements and when asked about the Goblins I stated that I have a small group for protection which was legal. No one would really care as there were fifty dead Deatheaters found or which one was killed by a Goblin security officer.
When we got to the Manor, there sat Ragnok with a glass of Elvin wine and on the table was a case of the wine. The wine was soon open and we got rid of the robes that cost so much that were now not in pristine condition. No sooner than my robe was off there was Squeaky.
"Did Squeaky do right Master Harry?"
"You did super good Squeaky"
"Squeaky was to bring back robes to be cleaned and be safe, Squeaky did bad so must ask for punishment"
There goes that Elf logic again. "I say what Squeaky did was bad but was erased by what Squeaky did good, so I owe you something that will make you happy. What would you like?"
"Work is always good Master Harry"
"Would cleaning and repairing these robes be work?"
"A little Sir"
"How about getting money from my vault and buying all new robes for me and my wives?"
"Oh Master Harry is too kind"
"Well why don't you do both but do not hurry, take your time and get your sleep, OK?"
"Thank you Master Harry, POP.
"Ragnok is there a how to book on elves that I can buy?"
"Sorry Harry, even the Goblins don't like those kinds of books written over us and our customs"
"Thanks for the troops today Ragnok, we were going to lose that one if you hadn't shown."
"You know us any time for a battle especially with wizards; you did tell them we were your personal protection?"
"So Fleur what was it that we had to talk about later?"
Fleur thought we had been identified by Voldemort which was possible and that Dumdum would hear about the fight and be nosing around. There was something bothering her I could feel it, but my rule was no peeking just because I could with the bond.
"By the way my beautiful wives that was some fine spell casting, where did you learn all those spells?"
They all looked at Fleur and she broke down. "I have been peeking as you called it and I found those spells and well I thought we could help if it came down to trouble, so I have been training everyone."
"Good job all around Ladies and especially you my dear, I just hope you didn't bump into to may bad memories or fantasies."
"Well there was this one."
That was it, the girls huddled on the couch whispering and Ragnok and I huddled around the wine.
