Mrs. J.K., You better not read my fiction, I doubt you are favoring Harem stories. But hey! The kid needs more than a fangirl/wife and a son named Albus Severus. I bring variation, for free… Not my best, I know.

Harry sighed: "It is alright Susan and Hannah, in a way I am glad, now I know that Obi-Wan isn't peeking at us when we are kissing.

Hey! I have standards! Not a lot, but I have some. Alright! One or two.

Hannah pecked his lips: "Dinner is waiting for you My Lord. Peggy expects us home by ten. We are going to make it up to you."

11 Girl problems? Tommy problems? Or Albus' problems?

Harry went to bed with a smile. He stopped smiling when he read my letter the next morning.

Young Padawan,

Now your Lordship of House Black can't be disputed anymore, it is time to come out of the shadows. You have the ears of the foreign papers, it is time to for the local newspaper to take your side. Get rid of skeeter. She is controlled by the death eaters, remember fourth year? Draco and his posse talking to something small in his hands? Yeah, get her arrested, she is doing more harm than good.

Make a move for the Horcrux in the castle. This has to happen ASAP! Now that you have the Gaunt ring summoned in Gringotts, he knows his dirty secret is out in the open. I was planning to let you do this in September, but time is running out. Today is best.

Go to the RoR and ask for the room of lost things, elves use that room for centuries. Tom found the room when he was looking for a place to hide stuff from his classmates in his sixth year. In the room you will find the Tiara of Rowena Ravenclaw, it is close to a Vanishing cabinet. The Soul search spell will help you best to find it.

The last Horcrux is his snake Nagini, she is a magical creature that is cursed and twisted into what she is now, putting her out of her misery will be a blessing for her.

For Tom, try to pis him off, let the DMLE post an arrest warrant for Peter Pettigrew in the Daily News rag. For doing a Necromancy ritual that created a golem that is possessed by the ghost of Tom Riddle, and for losing control of the golem. That will get the purebloods thinking, following a golem possessed by a ghost is humiliating.

Also, set the DMLE and your Law firm on Dumbledore, appoint Proxies to the board of governors of Hogwarts, make his life miserable.

Madam Bones will put the ICW on his trail when they find Gellert. Hiding a Dark Lord is life in Askaban or a snog from a Dementor.

Then my brave Padawan, claiming Houses comes with the responsibility to fill them with toddlers.

You are on your own with that Padawan, this is a path you have to explore without my advice.

I can point one option out, you can let the line die out.

Be brave Padawan,

Let the Force be with you

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Harry cursed: "What happened with Have fun Obi-Wan? Do I have to face them both at the same time? And why in Merlin's name I am on my own with girls? I don't even have a clue how to handle Susan and Hannah, let alone three more!"

Boohoo, Suck it up dip shit! You, my Padawan are living every male's dream!… No, not every male, those bloody sheiks have them too… I'm soo jealous now…? Hmm? Is this how self-pity feels? Fuck you! I know I already knew how it feels, cut me some slack, will you?

Harry dropped my last letter at Aunt Amelia and …dad-in-law? No, they are just started courting… meh, Dad Abbot will do, and went over to Bones Manor to talk it over, so were the Abbots.

Aunt Amelia read the letter and commented: "These are good suggestions, although I have my doubt to piss Tom Riddle off with that Golem idea.

His option to let the line die out is going to be a bit harder, you accepted the Lordship of the House and the Lord's Ring. Magic will compel you to do your duty to the House. This is Ancient Magic at work Harry, The Gaunts once was a part of the founding nobles that started our current community, so are the other Houses you are the Lord of. Potter, Black, Slytherin, and Gaunt. Bones too if you marry Susan. These are the five Most Ancient and Most Noble Houses Harry, the political power is more than you can realize. The Gaunts were pauperized, claimed by the Lord of three other Houses reinstated them in their original rank."

Percival agreed: "That means five wives at least Harry, together with House Abbot and Bones you have six major votes in the Wizengamot."

Hannah spoke up: "Maybe one more dad, Luna Lovegood applied for a consort position for House Peverell. She somehow thinks Harry is going to be Lord Peverell."

Amelia asked: "Is she a seer?"

Harry shrugged: "I don't really know, she is smart she could have noticed some clues and thinks I can be Lord Peverell, she could be a seer, or just messing with me."

Susan said: "Let Hannah and I handle this aunty, Tom Riddle and Dumbledore are enough for you both I think."

Harry sighed: "I will handle the Horcrux in Hogwarts, I have an invisibility cloak… that magic eye of moody saw right through it! I have to check it for spells first."

Amelia protested: "Harry! How in Morgana's name do you think you can get into the castle?"

"There are several secret passages Aunt Amelia, one from the cellar from Honeydukes, but I suspect Dumbledore knows about that one. The Shrieking Shack has one too, it comes out on the Whomping Willow. I will use the Shrieking Shack tunnel until I am inside the wards, then Dobby can pop me to the Seventh floor."

Harry stopped all protests with: "The Gaunt ring is a Horcrux, like Obi-Wan pointed out, once he knows his secret is exposed he will try to gather the rest of them. He knows the Diary is lost, so he will check the locket and have Bella… he thinks the cup is in my hands, I confiscated her Vaults! I have to hurry to Hogwarts now!"

Harry stood up and called Dobby: "Dobby, bring my invisibility Cloak here, please… Thank you, Dobby." The cloak was full of tracking charms and listening spells. The old goat spell-weaved small fibers in the cloak and spelled them.

Twenty minutes later, Dobby popped Harry outside Hogsmeade under his cloak. Harry entered the shack and went into the tunnel. At the wardline, he felt the wards recognize his Slytherin Ring and felt some of the functions been made available to it. Harry paused a minute to study the Wards, the animagus ward informed him that there is one on the way into the castle. That must be Peter.

"Dobby! Pop me on the seventh floor to the come-and-go room! Fast!"

A pop later, Harry paced before the wall, the door appeared, and Harry rushed in, slamming the door closed, wishing it to disappear. The door vanished, with a sigh of relief, Harry turned to face… an enormous room filled with junk.

"Bloody Hell! This is more than a needle in a haystack!"

I agree Padawan, this place is fucking big! Imagine the goodies here… that Tommy already looted the best stuff away. There is no way that Tom did not take advantage of the good stuff. Crap! I forgot to tell Padawan where Tom hid his trunks. Maybe tomorrow, better not, there is some nasty shit in those trunks.

Harry removed his cloak and started looking for the cabinet, regularly casting the Soul search spell, two hours later, after encountering the strangest items, for instance, a trunk filled with black and yellow underwear, he spotted the cabinet. Harry narrowed it down with his spell until he found the Tiara in a drawer.

Harry rushed here unprepared, an Accio dragon leather bag got him two ragged-looking bags with broken straps. Harry emptied a bag and levitated the Tiara in it.

"Crap! I forgot the map! Now that I have the Tiara, I can relax. Let's study the wards a bit, the animagus is on the seventh floor, waiting for me to come out… Dobby? Ah, at the entrance of the room is a rat, can you go behind it and silently stun him? Then bring it here, stay invisible."

Dobby popped back in after a minute with the Rat in his hand: "This be nasty Weasley rat, Master Harry!"

"I know Dobby, can you get me an unbreakable rat cage please?"

The rat got an extra stun from Harry: "Just to make sure you bastard." Harry is quite mad at the rat, he even amputated the silver paw and vanished it.

Dobby returned with the cage, and put the rat in it, Harry healed the stump so Peter would survive: "Home please Dobby, in the basement."

Xxxxx

A spell-free Harry is a big improvement, Gringotts rituals and Winky's supplements in his food did him good. Gone was the small timid kid, in its place was a slightly bigger healthy looking kid, it will take until Yule that he will reach his natural height… and a few extra inches.

"Kreacher? Ah, Kreacher, this rat is an animagus, keep him in this cage locked up in the dungeon, I have removed all tracking spells, he is a slippery one."

"Master, Kreacher knows where to put the rat. One floor below be the dungeons, there be a cell that blocks magic coming in or out. Enemies of House Black can not escape."

Go Padawan! He is taking initiative by locking the rat away. A bit more and he can go to that planet for his lightsaber. Too much? Meh, let me have some fantasies too you know.

Harry went to his office and wrote a note: "Dobby? Give this to Throat Slicer, and when he asks to bring the bag, give him this one."

Harry moved to the room the girls commandeered to sort the candidates, Susan, Hannah and Peggy were in it, discussing the… future wives?

"I got it, and just in time, I can say. I am keyed into Hogwarts wards now, I can't activate anything, but I can monitor what is going on when I am there. It is on its way to Gringotts. I hope you installed those wards at home because Tom is going to be pissed off at me."

Peggy nodded: "We did Harry, are you sure they will work? They are not connected to our leylines, what are they feeding on?"

"Ambient Magic at first, if a death eater enters, it will activate a spell Tom included in his mark, so he could punish them from a distance. The moment one gets inside the wards, the spell will cause excruciating pain throughout the person's body. Tom can regulate the output, the stones only know one setting: Maximum pain. When the stones are low on Magic, they can drain some from the death eaters via the link. It was a rush job, I could have added more but it would have taken too long to carve."

Susan commented: "You know that his new followers won't get branded anymore, do you? Now it came out it's a slave brand, I doubt he will get volunteers for it. He's probably going to use oaths."

Harry shrugged: "All oaths to Slytherin are mine now. If any of those fools attack me they will not like the outcome. I doubt he will let them swear to House Riddle."

Hannah grinned: "Good then you can focus on your future wives. Help us sort this out, hubby. We already discussed Tonks."

I think a tactical retreat is needed Padawan, please don't go in that swamp! It is filled with Redcaps and Hinkypufs!

Peggy grumbled: "She dated the second asshole of the Weasley family until he took off to fuck some dragons in Romania. He was a year below me, Tonks two years."

Harry thought for a bit: "I might explain their behavior, mind you, I do not excuse it, only explain. Arthur Weasley has seven children, and they all have to pass through Hogwarts. How can he afford it? I bet with loans, and the money Bill and Charley send home to support their family. If they would start a family of their own that would be impossible. Both have good-paying jobs, I bet they put their personal life on hold until the twins or Ron graduate. That is the only explanation I can come up with."

Peggy thought about it and sighed: "It doesn't lessen the hurt and humiliation I felt at that moment, he should have come clean about it or never let me think he was serious. He dropped me for Denise Richards because that girl was keen to land a pureblood and allowed more than she should have."

Girl, any boy from age 13 to 18 will choose a shag instead of a peck on the lips. Hormones and all that shit you know. Although Padawan… Winky avoided books with contraceptive spells, that sneaky elf! I will give him a few spells tomorrow.

Harry comforted her: "It is his loss, Peggy, you are drop-dead gorgeous and smart, if I look at you, I see how Hannah will look at your age, and I like what I see."

Is Padawan an idiot? Comparing sisters is certain death! He is calling Peggy old and Hannah a child!

Peggy brightened up: "Oh? You find me gorgeous? Do you hear that Hannah? I still have my sex appeal."

Hannah frowned at Harry: "Harry? Do you have the hots for my sister? Am I not good enough? Am I too young? OH! You are into older women?"

Told you so! Poor Padawan, I am curious how he will get out of this trap. My Popcorn is ready.

"Hannah, you are more than good enough, you and Susan helped me these weeks more than you realize, and I care deeply for you both. I don't know if I have the hots for Peggy, but you both look a lot alike, so I imagine you will look like Peggy do now when you are at her age… I am digging myself deeper into trouble isn't it?"

Peggy grinned: "Oh yes Harry, with every word, so… You do have the hots for me, I am flattered. Relax little sis, I won't steal him away, I doubt I can steal him away from you. He is smitten by the both of you, so let him off the hook."

Susan came to the rescue: "Calm down Han, you know that Peggy loves to tease you, Harry was only comforting Peggy over a bad relationship. And if you look like Peggy later on, see, that would not be so bad."

Harry hugged Hannah: "I promise will not break this up Hannah, You and Susan are important to me, and I like you both very much. Please don't be mad at me."

A mere 6 Padawan, I am not impressed.

Susan commented: "Now that this is out of the way, focus on the offers, please. Harry? Tonks? What do you think?"

"I have no clue Susan, I met her a few times here last year, she was fun to be around, she is an Auror, and yesterday she got a flat in London with 50 000 Galleons from mum and dad. She used to babysit me."

Take her Padawan, doing the babysitter is used a lot in porn magazines, and teenage fantasies. Yes, I read them! Male and proud of it… Ghost and proud?

Peggy promoted Tonks: "She has a good sense of humor, she is a Metamorph, and I think she will do good as Lady Black."

Hannah said: "Alright, she will be on the Lady Black pile. Who else?"

Susan: "Sally-An, and Megan, Hermione? Ah, Tracey and Daphne."

Harry remembered Lady Greengrass: "Yesterday Lady Greengrass asked them for House Slytherin. She was one of the guardian candidates in my parents will. She was a friend of my mother."

Hannah: "I like Tracey and Daphne, we played a lot together before Hogwarts. On the Slytherin pile Susan?"

"Yes Han, they will do fine in Slytherin."

I agree Padawan, they were used a lot in Fanfiction, quite popular, and smoking hot by looking at Padawan's memory. 9.7 or even 9.8, a platinum blond with a raven-black killer combo.

Peggy asked: "Any others fit for Slytherin? The Carrow sisters? The Patils? Those pureblood snobs would have a hissyfit if you marry Indian girls into their prestigious House. No matter that the Patils have a line of three thousand years, they are not British enough for them."

Susan nodded: "It would, but that is not the reason why they should marry into that House, Peggy. It should be because they like or love Harry and want to build a future with him and us."

Poor Padawan, by the looks of him, he wants to hide in a corner with a Notice Me Not spell.

Hannah: "I forgot to mention Megan and her sister Hestia, fit for… Harry? Do you think they will agree to House Gaunt?"

Harry groaned: "How do you think I should know that Hannah? I barely know Megan, and never heard… yes, I heard of her sister, she is in that Order too, an Auror if I am not mistaken. I met her once here last year, Tonks introduced her to me."

Susan smiled: "The Gaunt pile Hannah. Put the Carrows and the Patils there too."

Winky called: "Lunch be ready Mistresses."

Harry rolled his eyes and followed the girls to the dining hall, Winky glanced at the piles and moved some to other piles, and nodded: "Lots of babies."

Xxxxx

After lunch, Harry made an excuse to skip the wife selection: "I have to make some more ward sets, for the Greengrass family for example, They know Lady Greengrass was at the reading of the Will, a set for Hogwarts too, Luna's too, she is looking for those Snorkacks, but she is a target too."

Peggy grinned: "Chicken! Are you telling us you will agree with Susan and Hannah's selection?"

Harry shrugged: "Why not, they have to live with them too, they know the girl's characters better than me, and I trust them. It is not that they can set me up with a hag when they have to endure her themselves. In a way, they are marrying those girls too."

Stunned silence, they did not look at it that way, things became more serious now.

Susan said: "You have a point, Harry, we are selecting sisters to spend the rest of our lives with. Go and make those wardstones, when you created a set for Daphne and Tracey, give them to us and we will go over there to talk and to give those wards. We will visit the candidates to talk it over."

Good evasion Padawan, but you set them on a mission and cut all decision power away, you even gave it to the girls… one word: WHIPPED!

Harry prepared two sets and Susan and Hannah went wife shopping, the rest of the afternoon he carved set after set, carving granite was easy with the high-quality carving tool, put a bit of Magic in and it carved like it was soft clay. It was satisfying to know that wardstones actually are saving lives.

Xxxxx

Dinner was a bit awkward, a new set was added to the dining table: Miss Greengrass and Miss Davis. Susan and Hannah invited them for dinner to break the ice, funny because it was the Ice Princess and her Lady in Waiting.

After dinner, Daphne spoke up: "We have to thank you for those wards, Lord Slytherin, our parents recently had visitors, they all but demanded to join their course or to contribute. We are grateful for exposing that Dark Lord for what he is, that pulled the fangs of the snake, and gave us a perfect excuse to refuse to join. We are in your debt."

Harry smiled: "Not in my debt Heiress Greengrass, if I did this only for you or the Nobles, then I would agree, I did this mostly for myself and my friends, that it helped others is a happy side effect. I am accepting your thanks, our mothers were friends, were things different we would be too."

Tracey commented: "We wanted to introduce us in our first year, but you seemed to dislike Slytherins, and Weasley made it no secret he hates all things Slytherin. Malfoy made it not easier with his idiotic behavior. Second year was a disaster too, by then we gave up hope to be friends with you."

Harry showed his ring: "At least I was the Heir of Slytherin, by Conquest but it counts."

Daphne smiled: "Mother told me you claimed Slytherin and Gaunt at the same time, proving the Dark Lord to be an offspring of House Gaunt. She complimented you with your fast spell work, and father complimented you on the wardstones. Believe me, getting a compliment from my father is not easy."

Daphne looked into Harry's eyes: "That brings me to my next question: where did you learn Runes? Not in Hogwarts, I am in that class, so is Granger."

Harry grinned: "I got some tips from a new friend, he pointed some books to me, I found out I had mind-numbing spells on me, trackers, loyalty potions, my Magic blocked, my mail blocked, a drain to Blood Wards. Do you get the picture? When I got off the train, I got rid of them all with the help of Gringotts and the DMLE.

Recently I discovered I have a talent for Runes, I am taking my Owls for Runes and Arithmancy in August at the Ministry. Yes, I like Arithmancy too."

Tracey: "That is a great way to promote yourself, Lord Slytherin, we had a hard time believing Susan's and Hannah's stories. We still have the picture of you from school in our heads, you changed a lot, mentally and physically, so far I like what I see. To be honest, we were planning to reject the courtship, Susan and Hannah convinced us to have this dinner. I am glad we did."

Hmm? Did she just get an extra cookie from Winky? Sneaky elf!

Susan proposed to Daphne and Tracey: "Why don't we go on a date? The five… six of us, Peggy is our Chaperon, Tracey, you can ask your brother Roger to chaperon."

Yes, Padawan! A portkey to France, Monte Carlo or Cannes, the beach, monokini… titties all around… culture shock… divorce… Single for the rest of your life… Save it for later Padawan, think about something else.

Daphne commented: "I have to ask for permission from father, being spotted in the presence of Lord Slytherin is dangerous."

Harry nodded: "True, that is why I plan all my outings in the muggle world. I suggest a visit to a Shopping mall, a movie, and dinner. Friday or Saturday at ten o'clock? And Please, call me Harry."

My Padawan is growing up, taking the initiative for the date shows his confidence. I am not sure they will like the ride on the Knight Bus.

Hannah cheered: "Good! Owl us, Daphne, the war wards here send Harry's mail to Gringotts and deliver them only once a week. I can't wait for that date we had a lot of fun on our first one."

Should I mention the hotel room to Padawan to see the Star Wars Trilogy? They could take it the wrong way. Maybe later.

Tracey: "I like that, Daphne, we always wanted to go shopping on the Muggle side, this is a good excuse. Harry, mum is a half-blood, but never visited the muggle side, I only heard tales from granny, and please, call me Tracey."

Harry said: "It will be new for all of us Tracey, I have never done those too."

The evening went in a pleasant atmosphere Daphne and Tracey got the approval of Winky when she called them Mistresses Daffy and Tracey.

Harry sighed, he lost the battle before it even started. To get some respect back, he showed some memories, impressing girls is easier if you can prove that you actually did the stuff you are telling them. The basilisk did the trick, the dragon in his point of view was a blast too, for fun be showed Umbitch getting frisky with the Centaurs, and getting Hermione in a better light.

When they went home, Daphne said: "Friday ten o'clock, we leave from here, father said you live in London, your lack of a garden confirms it."

"Friday ten o'clock Heiress Greengrass, I will ad Heir Primary Davis to the wards, notify Susan or Hannah if you want to bring others along please."

"We will Harry, please call me Daphne. Goodbye."

Hah! Padawan broke the Ice! He melted the Glacier! More like he scared the Ice out of her system. Killing Basilisks tend to do that.

Benny popped in: "Mistresses are ordered to stay here. the Mansion is under attack."
