Chapter 22
I had been busy doing dozens of thing and had to be at certain places at certain times. It was almost time to relax and enjoy whatever quiet time I could squeeze out of life.
Evelyns wand was next to my phoenix feather wand on the dresser but that was not the wand I needed this second. There in my trunk was the elder wand but within minutes I was waving it and I realized it was a phony. Somehow Dumbledore had gotten his sneaky hands on the real Death Stick and that was what bothered me in the Dailey Profit's photos. That's when the girls entered the room.
"We saw your stuff on the dresser leaving you defenseless and you said that you would handle this Dursley stupidity." Ava growled.
"Then you had to spend all of your evenings pretending to be a prisoner in some ministry holding cell. But you didn't say..."
Daphne was cut off by Ava..." You didn't say you would be sent to Azkaban for life! You are so sleeping on the couch for the next month!"
"Yes my loves."
While I could understand the threat, and I would probably be sleeping on the couch, I was wondering which one of my two wives would join me on the couch after a day or two. Anyway the couch beat Azkaban hands down.
/Scene Break/
Classes were grinding along without any real threats like Voldemort used to be to the magical community. Malfoy's group assisted here by diverting attention to the Malfoy's attacks rather than Dumbledore's assertions that Harry Potter would bring back Voldemort. Didn't everyone believe that Dumbledore will take care of everything? Long forgotten was the point that both Dumbledore and Draco had been killed and somehow both had returned to life. I had wracked my brains over the wand switching. In the end I could only guess that somehow Dumbledore was there when I did in Voldemort and had switched a look-alike wand for the real one. But, why didn't I notice that as I stored it in my trunk, that it was after all a phony? All I could do was come up with more questions so I decided to quit causing myself a headache and forget it. It wasn't like I wanted the stupid thing to start with.
/Scene Break/
It soon became comical to me that Dumbledore had everyone running around chasing the escapee from Azkaban. Apparently Dumbledore and the ministry considered Harry Potter a great risk while Draco appeared to be no more than an irritant. It was the public that was being attacked, so Draco and his crew were winning hands-down in the PR battle.
Regardless what anybody said I was not a one man army that was to cure the world of all of its ills. After never ending classes, finally it was the end of year tests, now it was summer and vacation time.
While the wives had parents, who they just had to visit, and of course the parents insisted on dotting on their grandchildren. This of course worked out very well which allowed my wives and I to visit the islands while the grandparents babysat their grandchildren.
Now while all this bonding was going, on the grandparent side, I did find quality time. The wives were not happy being gone from their children for any length of time, neither was I. So... We still slipped away into London for some quality time between us three. Of course that put the kids close for a visit or two. What was hilarious was that my wives knew nothing of nor were they ever part of the Muggle lifestyle. So it wasn't long before I had them out in the cinemas. This of course brought up things like the many types of movies. Then they saw some tv programs, dvd's and how they could get all of this fabulous entertainment. I was then ordered under penalty of couch sleeping to provide all this more often.
The next thing I know is different phrases started popping up like...
"You are carrying your lightsaber in your pants again, aren't you Harry?" Ava smiled with her sexy grin.
I tried to fend off some illicit humor by saying, "You don't see my flashing do you? Or are you asking me to flash it around?"
That was followed up by other comments from a grinning Daphne which I assumed was a sexy grin. "Not unless I can join you." The two of them then dissolved into giggles. Sex in this house was damn good.
/Scene Break/
"Okay Skywalker, we have been back here at Hogwarts for a while, and besides your misunderstanding with the Ministry, don't you think it's odd you have not run into Darth Vader." Ava smirked.
"Hey! Are you trying to take over as head Slytherin in this family? I'm the one with snide comments and smirking." Daphne stated. "Besides, peaceful and quiet is my goal, don't jinx it."
That's started me laughing, "Peace and quiet with the kids around, oh yeah."
"Why don't we drop the kids back with their grandmothers and head to a disco or take in a cinema after a nice meal at some swanky restaurant." Ava smiled while batting her eyes suggestively.
"We will need to stop by Gringots as I'm a little short on quid. Why don't you girls decide?"
/Scene Break/
"Now that's something you don't see every day." I choked out.
"You can say that again Harry, what you think they're up to?"
There was a sign on the front door of Gringots bank…" Go away, we're closed until tomorrow."
"It's probably anybody's guess so we'll just have to slip down the road. Barclay's ATM will take my Potter credit card."
"I will be one happy wife when the day comes that we can use our real names without worrying. So come on 007 and you to Octopussy." Ava sarcastically said.
"Now she's trying to take over the role of Princess Leia." Daphne huffed.
"Come on girls if were going to get this evening started we need to start hoofing it."
/Scene Break/
The younger blonde adult had two of his lackeys following behind him.(Déjà vu) They were going to oversee an attack that evening using a small force of his followers.
"Hmm isn't this an opportunity boys. The Slytherin ice princess is all alone with two Muggles. I always wanted to have a go with Greengrass."
Somewhere, whether it was in the movies or real life, did I ever tell you, that the simplest things can lead to unbelievable results? I was standing in front of the ATM fumbling in my wallet for my card, when...
A yellow curse slid between Ava and myself smashed into the ATM. As I turned, with multiple curses on my lips, the world turned into a multicolored calliope.
When my eyes uncrossed and the colors went away I scanned the surroundings. We were in a small room that was very colorful and welcoming and very lavish in its décor. No one was in the room except myself and my two wives. While both were breathing they appeared to be not much more than statues sitting in comfortable chairs. That's when I heard a door opening I spun and cast Stupefy a few times, but all I got was Fizz, Sizzle, pop. There is not much left for me to do except...
"and who are…"
"We are a hierarchy of magical beings that Evelyn referred to as that "The Order of the Night." when you first met her. Evelyn serves as what you could call a liaison between the 'living world' and "The Order of the Night" which consists of the spirit of someone whose lives have changed the mortal magical world."
"O..Kay." I was not sure where to start and boy did I have questions.
"Save your breath as you will only receive the information that we care give. Your identity as Harry Potter has been compromised and today's events were manipulating you to that exact spot in time. (Like I couldn't guess who was doing the manipulating) you have a purpose in life that you have been fulfilling admirably. An individual has figured out who you are but will not be saying anything as he has plots of which you are a central part. Many but not all of your questions will be answered upon your return. We will see you again Harry Potter but until that time enjoy your mortal life."
/Scene Break/
Dah! Once again it took a bit get my eyes uncrossed as my wife's were grabbing me and screaming as I saw KnifeSlasher heading directly in my direction... The entire street is covered in blood and body parts. KnifeSlasher was covered in blood as well, his large ax was slung over his shoulder.
Daphne quit the irrational screaming and yelled almost directly in my ear..." Harry look! It's... Daphne quit yelling and just pointed at the head of Draco Malfoy laying among many body parts in the street."
"KnifeSlasher what the hell happened?"
"Once you informed us that the main purpose of that Dark Lord was to rob banks to pay for his minions so we sent set up traps. His attack today was your success."
I was about ready to disagree when KnifeSlasher held up his hand. You provided us the information without a request for monies or favors. We are of a mind that we are not but an arm of your information. Therefore, all will be told that you have defeated this Dark Lord."
I did not understand goblin logic but then again I figured there was a high probability that the goblins now had confiscated all of the Malfoy vaults. I wasn't going to complain as that logic had ended in my favor. One Dark Lord to go.
Considering that the evening was ruined as well as our appetite, we return to Hogwarts for some strong tea.
/Scene Break/
Sporadic Death Eater raids continued, but less frequently, as their mortality rate was unbelievable.
It wasn't six months later when a photographer snapped a picture of the Death Eater raid. There directing the operation was one Draco Malfoy. It was obvious that it was him although he did look somewhat like an inferie. Horicrux restoration it appeared.
"Harry this you can do."
"I know Ava but it's just disheartening. I just wish I could do a spell and send them all to Hell."
"It's too bad you couldn't send each of them a letter stating that you challenge them both to a duel at the same time in the same place. But, don't show up and let them kill themselves off." Daphne suggested.
"Daphne that's not a half bad idea."
Ava had accepted that she was going to be a housewife but that did not stop her from learning business and people's attitudes in the shop where she had had all of that pureblood training, along with Slytherin house cunning along with how things work including the ministry. The plan was conceived and the trap was laid. The most difficult part was the planting of overheard conversations to the right parties or having the right Death Eater being allowed to bribe a goblin. The easiest leak was selecting the right gossip monger in Hogwarts over hear Daphne and Ava talking about where we would be and when. Unfortunately I was going to be the bait. I however had a few tricks up my sleeve to contribute to the trap. One part was to let KnifeSlasher in on our plan which produce one large showing of teeth by the goblin.
Once again the open fields just passed Hogsmede village was selected. I don't believe anybody had any high hopes that this would be the end much but it would be an attempt.
/Scene Break/
I was in the field laying out the picnic basket and blanket with my Harry Potter glamour charm in place. It was indeed a great day to have a picnic with one's wives that would supposedly be showing up a bit later. And so it started.
Dumbledore was the first to flame in using Fawkes and without hesitation started his monologue, "Harry my boy I hope by now you realize that scar is an horcrux and will bring back Voldemort. So with a heavy heart must tell you that you must be returned to Azkaban as it is for the greater good."
As if done by some choreographer Draco popped in with more Death Eaters that I cared to count. Draco however was not interested in Smalltalk and curses started flying. Dumbledore called up two of his demons which added to the fun. I just put up a full body shield and hunker down. Seconds later the goblins appeared swinging swords, axes and throwing sharp edged stars. I had nothing to contribute so I grabbed a rock and put a ruin on it that allowed the shield to remain temporarily. I then made the shield temporarily dark and yelled "Boss Evelyn" and transported away.
/Scene Break/
The next day I stopped by Gringots, "KnifeSlasher, what the hell happened? There was nothing in the Daily Profit this morning, so spill!"
"We're not overly sure but Dumbledore's demons appeared to grab Malfoy and disappear. We're assuming that the demons took Malfoy to Satan. Have to wait and see if he has any more of those cursecd horcruxs to bring him back."
"And what about Dumbledore?"
"He just called his Phoenix and flamed away. There is another problem Harry that has shown it's ugly face. You need to defend your seats on ."
"Why may I ask?"
"Being convicted of crimes makes them vunerable and Dumbledore is trying to obtain them and the ministry is trying to confiscate them. You will have to have one of your wives appear with you heir."
"So when is the next meeting?"
"This coming Saturday."
