Mrs. J.K., I can't call myself an author, usually I start typing some bullshit, and hope that it makes some sense at the end of the chapter. The puppets and the scene are still yours, the typing I do for free.

Eventually, I had to go to my hideout when the snogging and light groping began. Well, he got some of it at last, Harry needed a clean boxer when the girls left.

He started to hear an annoying hum when he is kissing Susan and Hannah. He hoped it was not a side effect from the Force.

9 The life of Albus 101.

Hmm? Padawan can hear me hum? That is all kinds of bad news! The moment he hears my voice he will try to get me evicted, even use a spoon to spoon me out of his brain if he has to.

I took stock of the mindscape I created to retreat when he starts snogging and started to improve my… home? I better not think too hard about my situation.

Well, first my room, a nice modern setup will do, meaning one of those big lazy chairs. You know the ones with the vibrating option, cup holder, it can recline, and supports for the feet? I always wanted one of those. Now I have one! Next is a big viewscreen on a wall, the movie's kind size, connected to the eyes of Padawan. Surround sound of course and a connection to his senses.

Now the important parts, the view screen gets an R13 rating, meaning the moment Harry starts snogging, it changes to memories of Voldy's travels. He did see a lot of the world after all.

The sound gets disconnected too. All are connected to Padawan's emotions, hormones, and brain activity. In other words a naughty action filter.

Bloody Hell! I forgot the most important part! A holder for my imaginary Popcorn! We can't forget about the small things that make the afterlife bearable after all.

Harry woke up with his letter

Young Padawan,

You did well yesterday. It will lead your life in a better direction.

I can answer some of the questions about the motivations for Dumbledore's crimes.

It starts with his baby sister, at six years old, some young muggle boys witnessed her doing accidental magic, and tried to beat the devil out of the girl. It caused the girl to become an Obscuros. Dad went to Askaban for punishing the boy's, and mum died a few years later when Ariana lost control of her Magic.

That put the freshly, with record grades, graduated from Hogwarts, Albus Wulfric Dumbledore in charge of the household. Instead of traveling the world and amaze its leaders with his brilliance, he had to stay home and take care of his little sister. He started to study and publish papers from home, neglecting his sister and letting his little brother do the work... Until the little brother had to leave for school.

It got worse when a boy moved in next door with his aunt, he got kicked out of Durmstrang for using too much dark Magic. Coming from Durmstrang that says a lot. Meet Geller Grindelwald! Highly intelligent, charming, and homosexual just like Albus.

The boys hit it off from day one, discussing Magic in all its facets, and the Magical world on how it can be improved. The changes would not be well received by other more conservative factions, but both decided sacrifices have to be made. The phrase 'For The Greater Good' both used to cover their crimes was born there.

Like all couples freshly in love, they forgot about their duties and floated on a pink cloud, dreaming about the perfect world they are going to create. Ariana got neglected, household chores got done to a minimum, and the plans to rule over the world got bigger and more violent for Gellert, Dumbledore argued for a more political approach.

The discussions heated up and came to a height when the brother Aberforth came home for Yule. He saw the state the home and Ariana were in and pointed to Albus on how he neglected his responsibilities.

That started a big shouting match between the three of them, wands were drawn, curses flew left and right… Ariana got hit in the crossfire and died.

Gellert, already in trouble with the authorities made a run for it, Albus covered the crime up as an accident, I don't know how he convinced his brother to agree to that statement, I guess a confundus or something worse.

Have no doubt that Dumbledore felt guilt about killing Ariana because he did not know who shot the killing spell that killed Ariana. His delusion that everyone can be redeemed whatever the crime is, was born that day.

Yes, no matter what crime you did, if you put a sad face on and say 'I am very sorry' he will forgive you of course. He is living proof you can get redeemed, after all, everyone deserves a second chance. By being forgiven by Dumbledore the criminals owned him favors of course, and his rise in the world began, apprenticed at Flamel, Master in Transfiguration, Alchemy, Charms, and some more obscure branches of Magic he got a position at Hogwarts.

Gellert charmed Europe into war, and Dumbledore fooled everyone with his fake reputation. Gellert was declared a Dark Lord in the early thirties, Dumbledore was viewed as the leader of the Light at that same time.

It was in 45 when Dumbledore defeated Gellert, earning his Order of Merlin First Class and a seat in the Wizengamot, soon he was Chief Warlock and Supreme Mugwump.

Mind you, he defeated Gellert, not killed. Gellert is currently locked up in Nurmengard in a tower under a fidelius. Yes, Albus is the secret keeper. Let them study the building plans and drawings and compare them with the current castle.

These are all facts. What comes next are my assumptions and suspicions. First of all, why did Dumbledore not go after Gellert at the start of the war? He lead the resistance from Hogwarts, mostly to their deaths, you know using deadly force prevents them to be redeemed. So his puppets shielded and stunned, the adversaries shielded, enervated the stunned, and killed the puppets.

This way Gellert and Dumbledore managed to get rid of the most powerful wizards from Europe. A lot of wisdom and Magic got lost because the ones that had to pass it to the young died on the battlefield. Leaving the weak and ignorant at home, guided by Dumbledore of course.

To prevent the rise of another Dark Lord, Dumbledore went through the magic courses with a red marker and removed them from the curriculum declaring them Dark. This dummed the surviving sheep. The ones that dared to protest were Dark of course.

That brings us to Tom Riddle. He is a Riddle, isn't he? How could he hide his real name when Dumbledore knew his real name and blood status? Why didn't Dumbledore expose him as a phony? Why did Dumbledore allow Tom to do whatever he wanted?

Now my Padawan, let us look at the Dark side of the Force. The only reason that kept Dumbledore quiet, is that Tom Riddle has some juicy blackmail material on Dumbledore. What secret can keep that mouth shut? Killing the sister by accident is hardly enough, blame Gellert and it is forgiven.

Now... Imagine a person that can redeem himself after every crime he does, because he serves the Greater Good, and he is needed to guide Wizardkind to a better future.

Now picture that person in a school with boys that think he is the second Merlin… add in Legilimence to find out who is gay too… a perfect hunting ground. If the student did not like it, an obliviate later, and all is redeemed.

My guess is that Tom found out, and after raising in power let Dumbledore know his dirty secrets are known to him.

Know this Padawan, these are my suspicions, but I think they are true. There is no evidence for it I know, try to explain it another way if you can. Dumbledore did his best to cover up Tom's name.

Enough about Dumble's dirty secrets

Letting Miss Susan and Miss Hannah know you are Lord Black is a good move. Honesty in a relationship lasts the longest, a few exceptions aside of course. For example, if the wife asks 'does this dress make me look fat?' NEVER say Yes! Done that once, she was mad for weeks and brought it up in arguments for years. It did make her look fat though.

You are doomed to have multiple wives... lucky bastard, don't you dare to complain about it to others, they won't understand. I only have one piece of advice, when making love, never call them by their given name. One mistake, calling Susan Hannah in the middle of the action, for example, will only work if Susan used polyjuice to look like Hannah, otherwise, you land on the couch for weeks by all of them.

Take your time to search for Lady Black, if you include Miss Susan and Miss Hannah… at least it will make things easier.

May the Force be with you Padawan

Harry swore when he read my version of the life of Albus and was disgusted when he read my suspicions. He noticed a second letter.

Young Padawan,

I noticed when you read books that I already have read, understanding the subject of the book comes easier to you. It is a side effect of Tom Riddle's Horcrux on your mind. I could not clear that completely.

The up part is that it helps you in your studies like it did yesterday with Runes. The Down part, however, is if you show too much progress, people like Dumbledore will think that Tom took your body over. I suggest limiting your studies to a few hours and practicing your skills like Occlumency, or your social skills like dancing.

If you study Arithmancy and Runes, you can take your Owls at the Ministry. With an E+ you can get into the Newt class for both. Refresh your other courses, it will boost them up to the level it was supposed to be without Dumbledore's interference.

Please keep this second note private, or better yet destroy it. To be clear, I am working on how to get rid of this connection between us. It is no fun at all to witness a teenager's life. Mine was enough already. I apologize for the humming, I made certain that the connection is completely cut off both ways when you have above R12 private time.

The future is yours Padawan, so are your life choices, be they good or bad.

An idea to see the Star Wars movies is to check into a high-class hotel, they have TV and Video in the rooms and can play those movies.

May the Force be with you Padawan.

Harry, with the diary fresh in mind, went over his memory for black spots and started to cast every revealing spell he knew to see if he or the letters are cursed. Coming out clean relieved him a bit. After thinking it over, he vanished the second letter.

For now, it was good advice from all the letters although this one shook him badly, subconsciously he touched his bum checking it for damage until he remembered Dumbledore's age, would he still get it up? Does he still have the stamina?

Suddenly Harry snapped out of it and ran to Sirius' room to get Dumbledore's picture out of his head. Smart move Padawan, you just prevented permanent brain damage.

He was late for breakfast. Harry sent a copy of the first letter to Madam Bones and Lord Abbot, maybe they get some mental scars too.

Harry started on Arithmancy, I reduced the inflow of understanding the books, yesterday was an overdose, from zero to Owl level in a few hours is too much. If I do that with everything, that spells disaster, maybe even turn him Dark!

Gringotts delivered Harry's Mail, with a list of letters with curses on them and who sent them, that reminded him to contact his solicitors. There was fan mail, fan mail with pictures, Mail with marriage offers, Mail with marriage offers with pictures… the poor boy did not know what to do or how to react. He completely froze up.

Winky popped in: "Winky be fetching Mistresses Susi and Hanni Master Harry. Yous be needing their help."

A minute later both popped in and took charge, Susan said: "Don't worry Harry, it is not your fault that people send you such Mail. Let Hannah and I sort them, aunties Amelia and Harriet taught us how to deal with them. Do we have your permission, Harry? Even with a courtship contract, we need your permission to read your mail."

Harry looked at the pile of letters and pictures and nodded: "Please do Susan and Hannah. Winky, thank you for bringing them here."

They actually had fun sorting the letters, teaching Harry to write standard rejection letters, thank you for your support letters, and fuck you and die letters. Sign, and make copies. Now he only has to write the recipient's name.

Hannah chuckled: "Don't let Hedwig deliver them, let her bring that stack to the postal office and let them deliver them. Use Hedwig for the ones you know, like the one for Luna with the thank you for the fliers. To pay her bill, mark it with your ring and magic, and send it to your account manager at Gringotts."

A voice at the door said: "And when you go visit your boyfriend you notify me first and ask for permission. Now explain why you needed to rush over here."

Winky popped in: "Don't be mad at Mistresses Susi and Hanni, please! Master Harry was distressed and needed his mates. Did Winky bad? Does Winky have to punish herself?"

Go Winky! She is a true enforcer! She is on a mission to take care of babies and she will have them! Dobby is walking through the house with a silly grin for days now. And she is trying to have Harry get the same grin.

Susan smiled: "No! It was a good thing that you brought us here Winky, Harry needed us. Peggy, Harry received his mail, here are some of the pictures. He did not know how to handle them."

Peggy browsed through the letters with pictures: "I know her, her too, oh Brigitte? Annabel and Mary together? Hey, that is Victoria's mother! Ok, I admit Harry needed you, girls. I have to Tutor Damon, can I trust you to keep things proper Harry? No, I better ask Hannah and Susan that."

Hannah blushed: "We will keep it proper Peggy, we will come back for lunch with Harry."

Harry remembered some of his etiquette books: "Heiress Peggy, you have my word that we keep it proper."

Good answer Padawan! R15 includes heavy padding these days, so it still is within the definition of proper.

Peggy was satisfied with that answer and left. Susan and Hannah sorted the potentials for House Black, Discarding the marriage contracts with ridiculous demands often asking for a high bride's price. Hey, Molly sent one for Ginny… Gringotts noted they removed a strong compulsion charm to sign from it. A nice try though, I wonder what would happen if a Goblin was charmed enough to sign it.

The marriage offers were a bit friendlier, Bulstrode, Brown, Zeller, Weasley again, this time it was Arthur asking, Zabini? Ah, his older sister, Patil one and two. Susan and Hannah put several letters aside for further study.

Luna? Ah a separate letter, a fun one.

Dear Harry,

Included is my marriage contract for consort Peverell, you don't have to sign it now, I guess the end of august will do fine. Susan, Hannah, let Harry read Socializing the higher Circles and What is acceptable behavior, both from Cassiopeia Black they are in the Black Library. Have fun, say hi, and thank you to the Jedi for me Harry.

Your Luna, soon to be Consort Peverell

Luna is a real seer? I thought she was a bit silly in the books, nothing more.

The girls put the interesting ones aside

Courtship letters and dating offers were plenty too. Lots of familiar faces showed up, Ginny Weasley again? Oh, she begged to forget her parent's letters and asked to forgive her mother, she acted on Dumbledore's orders.

Tonks is here too! No, it is her mum Andromeda with a courtship offer, telling Harry Tonks is a bit lost and is following guys that are way too old for her.

Padawan! We need to save Tonks from that mangy wolf! I hate that bastard wolf. Too proud to ask for help and full of self-pity when he can't help himself. Then he is shagging a total babe thirteen years younger than him, points for that by the way, but the bastard drops her when a baby is on the way. That is not done in my book! Shag Tonks yourself or find a nice bloke for her. Lupin can shag a mangy bitch for all I care. Who is next?

Megan and Hestia Jones? Ah, a sister act! Although they should have enough attention, their older sister plays with the Harpies.

Luna again? She wants to have fun before Harry signs the contract.

Susan asked: "Harry? Why does Luna ask to be Consort Peverell?"

Harry shrugged: "Ask Luna, she has a way to know things, I don't know her that well, she is bullied in Ravenclaw though, I saw her looking for her things the day before we left. She was with me at the Ministry that night and stood her ground against those death eaters. I never even heard of the Peverell's."

Hanna explained: "They are a famous family, rumors said they are the creators of the Deadly Hallows from the Tale of the three brothers. There is a book in every household with that story. The line died out centuries ago."

Susan put Luna's letter on the positive pile and commented: "Ask her on a date Harry, she deserves some fun, maybe she can explain the Peverells herself. I suppose you can take Granger for a day out too and hear her opinion on having multiple wives, that way she will not feel neglected, I bet she needs to have the chance to refuse."

Harry was puzzled: "What do you mean by that?"

Susan explained: "Imagine a room full of girls, and you have a box of chocolates, you present every girl one, except Granger because you know she doesn't like chocolate. How does that make her feel? What do the other girls think when you skip her? Offering her one is including her in the group, even when she refused the chocolate, she is included. Do you understand the nuance?"

Does Padawan understand the word nuance? Ah, yes he does.

Susan and Hannah are doing a great job, Winky too when I noticed a few pictures change places unnoticed. Go Winky! She completely loved her new family, and the freedom to act as she wants. Not a lot of houses give elves that much liberty, probably because they go overboard with it.

Lunch at the Abbots with Damon and Peggy felt like he is accepted in a real family to Harry, talking, joking, and laughing without a worry, he loved it all. Especially the footsie Hannah and Susan played under the table. The poor kid almost choked on his sandwich when Susan got above the knee.

After lunch, Harry explored the estate and its wildlife with the girls and Damon, Damon played tour guide: "Our Estate borders a big forest, the muggles made it a nature preserve. With the permission of the Ministry, our House Abbot has put wardstones all around the forest. It let muggles ignore any magical creature they encounter. The magical creatures are shy and avoid muggles most of the time."

Peggy commented: "It happens when a squib or a magical child under eleven years sees them and tries to tell others. A lot of books about Magical forests are the cause of it."

Damon pouted: "Peggy! I was supposed to say that!"

"I am very sorry Lord Abbot, it won't happen again, promise!" She grabbed Damon and gave him a hug.

Dinner was at the Bones Manor, a snogging session later Harry went home to study.

Xxxxx

Slowly the three families got into a routine, breakfast at home, lunch at the Abbots, and dinner rotated through the three families. The trials? Meh, who cares, that is grown-up stuff. Aunt Harriet let Dementors kiss them left and right, and tongued in the middle. The Imperio victims are dispelled at the doors, it caused even more Dementor kisses when they voted with a vengeance. Malfoy got snogged, so were the rest of the death eaters from the Ministry fight.

Tom threw a tantrum when his pedigree and the slave brand were explained in detail, and the candidates for one dropped to zero. The mark has to be accepted willingly and nobody wants to be a slave. That and the arrest of his Imperio death eaters followed by a veritaserum questioning made his numbers go down fast.

Obi-Wan might have dropped some tips to fight Giants and Werewolves… alright I confess he stole it from fanfiction but who cares? As long as it works it is my idea, if not? I'll find someone else to blame.

For the giants? Just tie the bastards up, steel cables will do the trick, learn to conjure them, tie their legs together and they are helpless. The Werewolves don't like silver, some grenades with silver needles or some silvery stuff in them, made to explode when a werewolf is in their area, something that creates a cloud of silver essence, ah! A good one! Crossbows with portkey arrows! I read that somewhere, genius! My idea!

The day of the reading of the Wills arrived we had a good lunch and twenty minutes in advance we arrived at Gringotts doorstep the old goat was in the way though. The problem with old men that had power for decades is that they can't accept they are wrong, because they know what is best of course.

"Harry my boy…"

"Fuck you, old man! Better yet, go fuck Gellert! Move out of the way or I call the Aurors. It is Lord Potter to you. I will attend the reading of the will like it or not, preventing it is a crime Albus!"

I taught my Padawan well, never let old people with a silver tongue finish his first sentence.

Madam Bones approached me: "Harry? Is something wrong? Albus? What are you doing here? I hope it is not breaking any laws, you have enough troubles as it is."

"Madam Bones, it is of the greatest importance that Harry comes under my protection. Only I can protect him from the forces of evil."

While Dumbledore was talking to Amelia, Harry set his foot on the steps of Gringotts, turned to Dumbledore, and removed all spells Dumbledore managed to cast on him with a wide grin.

Amelia said: "Those are probably cast wandless on Lord Potter, Mr. Dumbledore, do it again and we will record the magical signature, and you will find out what our laws say about attacking Lords of Most Ancient and Most Noble Houses. Personally, I find you a creep with a God complex. Good day, Mr. Dumbledore."

Fuming, Dumbledore watched her leave, he noticed Aurors in strategic positions, he could not afford more trouble and went inside, showed his invitation for the Will reading, and followed a runner to the reading room.

The youth these days, it was much better in his time. the children had to listen or they get paddled. The number of times he was bad, and Dad Paddled him is countless. It could be that he was a bad boy on purpose... While he was pondering on those important life questions, he took a seat.

At one o'clock the doors closed. It was Serious Sirius time!

AN: Don't bash me by coloring the gays bad, there are good ones as well as bad ones. I have some good gays in my family, and I know some shits that deserve a good beating. Just as straight people have good and bad. I needed a stick to beat Dumbledore with, and that was what first came to my mind.

That, and I needed my word count over 40K. Good AN, even if I say so myself.
