WTF? Is that book referring to me? I have to leave Padawan? I was just getting over my moral sense and planned to let the Dark Side of The Force enjoy the view at night. This sucks! The rewards better are good Peverell!
19 Life goes on, we hope.
Harry was puzzled and asked: "This Vault was closed for over 1300 years! How can it give a message in plain English to Obi-Wan Kenobi? How did they even know about him? That he is here with us?… is he here with us? He somehow always knows what happened around me, I am not possessed, Throat Slicer had me checked for that."
Hermione commented: "In the third movie, Obi-Wan was some kind of Ghost and gave advice to Luke, with his voice in Luke's head. Maybe Obi-Wan is the same here for you? Instead of a voice, he writes letters."
Harry was annoyed: "That's it! I am going to watch those bloody movies, maybe I will find out what the hell the Force is."
Then you had to follow my advice stupid Padawan! I was telling it you from day one. I hope my reward is a body for myself, I am kind of tired to ride along in a teenager's body and watch him get all the girls.
Tonks said: "We better go back home Harry, we have to digest all this new information, and to be honest, we better wait a few years before you explore these books, you have to learn the old languages, Anglo-Saxon, Old Welsh, Pictish, Celtish to name a few, next to Latin, Greek and Egyptian. This is only a treasure grove if you can understand what they wrote."
Hannah agreed: "Tonks has a point Harry, eliminate Tom Riddle, and finish school first, we can divide the languages to learn between us."
Daphne hugged Harry from behind and whispered: "Let's go, home love, I bet our parents are eager to watch how you took care of Dumbledore. This Vault was here for a long time, and it will stay here much longer. And Harry, Obi-Wan isn't the only one that will be rewarded tonight."
Harry swallowed and said: "Come, we go home and discuss our next course of action."
Yeah right, I would hurry home too. Padawan is going to get some tonight.
It hurt Hermione to leave so many books behind, so much knowledge that she did not read yet. But after the slap on her wrist from Susan, Daphne and Tonks, she realized that Harry was not her possession, and have a bunch of girls guarding his interests.

When they arrived home, several parents were already waiting for them, Percival Abbot asked: "Amelia said you captured Dumbledore without a fight, is that correct? Can we see the memory if it is not a family secret?"
Harry looked at the girls, most nodded, some just shrugged their shoulders. Harry gathered his thoughts then he decided to show it, he extracted a copy and put it in the Pensieve: "Go ahead, it is not that thrilling if you ask me."
Everyone gathered around the Pensieve and dived into the memory, it was a bit disappointing, Dumbledore arrived, did some searching and some talks, suddenly his clothes disappeared, his beard gets a trim, and he was left standing in his boxers. Harry tied him up, and the rest is history.
When everyone left the Pensieve, Cyrus Greengrass commented: "We better keep the elf behind The Force a secret, or the elves are going to face hard times. Knowing that one elf can best the two strongest wizards from this century will change the way wizarding kind view elves, and I am afraid it will be not in a positive way."
Theodore Tonks agreed: "This was not in a home he was protecting, this was out in the open, which means that Elves can act like that everywhere. Harry, destroy this memory, and don't show it to anyone again."
Xeno Lovegood said: "I agree, Cyrus, can you obliviate that knowledge from me? I am mostly absent-minded, and can publish it by accident… Moonbeam! We could have found the Crumpled Horned Snorkacks already, but obliviated ourselves to protect them!"
Harry nodded: "That is possible Mr. Lovegood, but will it stop you from searching for them? To make things clear, there is only one Elf that can, or is willing to do that. Normal elves will stay inside the wards. Dobby is special, he is the most courageous elf I know and I am honored to call him my friend."
I doubt he hears you Padawan, I bet Winky is shagging his balls empty. Defeating Old Whiskers is enough reason for a reward, and as long that there is not a little elf in the womb, Dobby has to perform.
The Peverell vault was next in the Pensieve, played in a loop, everyone had the time to explore the titles, and make an estimate of the languages they have to learn.
When they came out, the adults were ecstatic, Cyrus Greengrass urged Harry: "This too must be kept a secret Harry! I saw books by Merlin, Arthur, and even Morgana! The DOM from every country will be after you to get their hands on those books."
Xeno Lovegood smiled sadly: "Yes they will, and most of them won't ask it friendly to hand them over. Cyrus? If you will? Just replace the memory with 'there were some cases filled with gold and gems'."
Percival abbot commented: "Wait until you want to leave Xeno, we need your input on how to handle this. That Library is a treasure trove, the Hogwarts Founders, Merlin, Morgana, even Oberon, not to mention several Egyptian and Greek books."
Amelia asked: "Harry? Do you have an idea what you are going to do with it?"
Harry shrugged: "It is quite simple, those books stay in the vault, I make permanent copies from them to study from."
Xeno shouted: "You can make permanent copies? I taught that spell was lost in time! The best result disappears in two weeks!"
Amelia answered: "Obi-Wan gave Harry that spell in his first letter, we consider it as Family Magic from House Potter-Black-Slytherin-Gaunt, and now from House Peverell too. Percival and I have destroyed the letters Harry gave to us with that spell. The spells and the Rune sequence to detect and dispel the Imperio Curse are recorded as a spell Lord Potter invented and patented as one. Harry, a patented Rune sequence will give you 10% of the profit when someone is selling it. Magic enforces the payments. So will the Wards against the Dark Mark if you want it patented."
Hey! Obi-Wan is overlooked here! That money is rightfully… Padawans. Crap. I hate my afterlife.
Susan interrupted: "That last one is not needed anymore, Harry has put a muzzle on those death eaters, they are forced to wear bracelets, when they want to cause pain or cast spells with bad intentions the bracelet will punish them."
Harry sighed: "That brings me to Voldemort. I have a ritual to eliminate him, but it is a blood ritual and I heard it is banned."
Madam Bones sat up straight: "Oh? Care to explain the ritual, Harry?"
Yes, Padawan, please explain the NAKED Virgins Ritual to the in-laws, they are going to love it. Cyrus, Percival, Xeno, I am going to stare at your daughter's pussy and tits during a two hours ritual. Oh, wait, I already stared at their NAKED bodies during a previous ritual! Fine Specimens indeed.
Harry said: "It is a ritual to destroy any of my blood that is not currently in my body, preferably done in Gringotts so they can take fresh samples to identify me. It was abused before by some Lords to get out of some bad contracts they signed with a blood quill. I have not signed any contract that way, but Tom Riddle took my blood to make his homunculus. Doing that ritual will end it. Then we hunt for the last Horcrux in the snake Nagini."
Tonksie added: "We can not take the snake first, it will be too good defended, once Tom is dead, the snake will be no problem."
Theo Tonks commented: "If Harry performs that ritual in Gringotts, he can not be arrested for it. The Goblin nation is sovereign, Wizarding Britain has no jurisdiction there. The goblins can first check if there are outstanding contracts containing Harry's blood."
Padawan… respect! Your diplomatic skills are growing you are almost ready for your Light saber… Now I have to work out a way to create them.

The discussion lasted until dinner, after dinner Hermione returned home, she was allowed to visit Grimmauld Place during the working hours of the Grangers and spend the evenings with her parents. A solution that Harry enforced on her.
Harry remembered the argument with Hermione:
When Hermione protested about having to return home every night, Harry commented: "Hermione, be glad you have parents that love you, you are away most of the year, and you missed their Holiday trip, what do you think you are missing when you are not here? It must be true that you only realize what you got when it is gone. Well, I can't remember I had it for sixteen months, but I sure want it back."
That speech backfired, it made his girlfriends recall they have loving parents too. That night he was alone in Grimmauld Place, and the only one getting some action was Dobby.

The next day after breakfast, Harry visited Throat Slicer and Rusty Blade and explained what he wanted to achieve. He carefully explained the ritual and his goals, namely draining his blood from Tom Riddle.
He said: "I have no contracts out signed with my blood that I know of, the Blood wards at my relatives' home are gone, so the only blood outside my body is here and in Tom's Homonculus… No, it is on the detention papers that Umbridge forced me to write with that blood quill, Merlin knows what that bitch was planning to do with it. I ask permission from the Horde to perform the ritual here under your supervision so that you can take new samples after the ritual."
Rusty Blade looked at Throat Slicer and answered: "Give us two days to investigate and ask permission from our superiors, we will call upon your elf."
Harry returned home, telling them he will know after two days: "Now that we have two days, I want to watch those Star Wars movies. How do we manage that?"
Hermione raised her hand: "We have those three movies at home on video. I can ask permission from my parents to watch them at home. Tomorrow is Saturday, we can watch them with my parents, they can explain most of the science and fiction of those movies."
Hey! Don't ruin the magic of a good movie by explaining it you Bint! Don't corrupt my Padawan!… I hope they shut up about the sounds their spaceships make in a vacuum, especially Vader's ship had an annoying sound, not to mention the talks through their radio… Crap, I am doomed.

Harry started studying his books, knowing I have only two letters left to write, I released the breaks and went all in with feeding Padawan the understanding of the topics from those books. You can say what you want of Tom, but you can't call him stupid. Harry went from Owl to Newt with Charms, Runes, and Dada in one day.
Ok… maybe… just maybe I have overdone it a bit, when Padawan started browsing through the Black Library, I steered him to fun topics to get the pressure off, I spotted How to have fun with your Witches by Aphrodite Cedrella Black and nudged him to grab the book.
My aim was not perfect, instead of the fun book Padawan took the book next to it, Magic Metals and their uses by Thorin Hammerhead. It was an interesting topic, I even learned something today, so did Harry. Together we came to understand the metals described in the book as the metals used in high technological appliances, the metals described were similar to the high-tech alloys in Aviation and Space technology. By now I was pushing my limited knowledge of metallurgy into Padawan's brain to start his interest in it.
With the right guidance, I can get Padawan his own Millennium Falcon! Ah shut up, I can dream, can I?

On Saturday we had breakfast at the Grangers, while Hermione was giving a lecture on the electric appliances they used to prepare breakfast.
Luna asked: "So Hermione, this elecatiricity is kind of like Lightning?"
Hermione closed her eyes for a second, took a deep breath, and answered: "Yes Luna, it is called Electricity, and it is a form of Lightning."
Luna was puzzled: "Where does the Thunder go? You are using Lightning but not the Thunder, isn't that a bit wasteful?"
Hermione said: "Luna, thunder only happens when the lightning strikes during a Thunderstorm."
Luna shook her head: "Not true Hermione, it happens with a Lightning storm too. How do you catch the Lightning? Is it hard? I had a Grand-Grand-grand uncle Ben trying to catch it with a kite, eventually, he got hit with lightning and became a squib."
Hermione gasped: "Luna! Do you mean your Grand-grand-grand uncle was Benjamin Franklin?"
Luna smiled sadly: "No Hermione, that was uncle Ben's student and the one that gave him that idea, uncle Ben fired him though. Uncle Ben was never the same again according to my Grand-grand-grandmother's journals. She took uncle Ben back to Britain when that man joined the rebels."
Hannah tried to get the conversation back on the rails: "So this wire at this kettle makes the water hot?"
Luna commented happily: "That was my question too, but Hermione started discussing Uncle Ben for some reason. And I still don't know where the Thunder goes. Is this like the episode Four of Star Wars that starts a trilogy? Is this Muggle logic?"
Harry came to Hermione's rescue: "Stop teasing Hermione, Luna, so if you must know, handled incorrectly those devices can cause explosions or fires, just like brewing a potion incorrectly can melt a cauldron."
Luna pouted: "Pooh, and I had so many questions ready about the Microwave, you are no fun at all today Hubby."
Hermione glared at Luna: "You knew? Do you know about Electricity? Why all those ridiculous questions?"
Luna shrugged: "Because it was funny? You need to loosen up Hermione, or at least remove that stick from your bum."
Hermione was scandalized: "Luna! That is not a proper thing to say as a lady!"
Luna protested: "It is! I heard it from a muggle-born that you are the type that has a stick up your bum… well he did not call it Bum, but I thought it was a muggle thing."
The rest of the girls and the Grangers watched the comedy show with a smile. The Grangers were happy that Hermione was part of a group of friends and comfortable enough around each other to tease her. The girls were just enjoying Luna's efforts to remove Hermione's stick.
Eventually, Episode Four was played on the VCR. Compared with the movie Independence Day in the theater versus Star Wars on a TV screen, Star Wars lost. Special effects from twenty years ago can not compare with the current technology.
The light sabers were a hit with Harry though, the Death Star scared the purebloods when it blasted a planet apart, it made them question if muggles will ever be able to do that for real. The wandless Magic was a hit too, Luna was glued to the screen, imagining the possibilities if she could do that too.
Yoda, the green house-elf was funny, and the teddy bears in the third movie too. The whole drama of 'I am your father' caused them to say that Luke was the son of a death eater. When the third movie ended, they were not fans of the Force at all.
Harry tried to defend his mentor: "Maybe Obi-Wan is very old and did not see the new movies? Or he is a real ghost from the time those movies were released?"
Hey!… Yeah, I was old when I died. Just don't rub it in, will you?

Padawan got his quality time that night, I tuned it out of course, I just kept watch over them when Padawan fell asleep. Fine Stock.
My mood went South when the Goblins told Harry they will perform the blood-reclaiming ritual themselves. Now I have to look at a bunch of naked Goblins? Where is the fun in that? Worse, Harry had to stay sober for the rest of the day, skipping three meals and a lot of snacks that way.
Grumbling, Harry shoved his plate away: "This better be worth it, I was looking forwards to doing that ritual with you girls, I bet it isn't half the fun than with our Coven.
Luna comforted Harry: "If it makes you feel better then Hermione will stay naked here today, you are seeing us naked every night, so, Hermione? Can you show your body to our Hubby?"
Padawan? Luna is turning to the Kinky side of The Force! Keep her there!
Daphne interrupted: "Luna, that kind of playtime is meant for the wives-to-be. Hermione can keep her clothes on. Now that Harry has to skip meals today, we will have a study day. If anyone gets hungry, they have to go home to eat."
The rest of the day Harry skimmed the Black Library for interesting books, Dueling, obscure rituals, Elemental Magic, some books had not even been read for centuries because they were written by half-bloods or names they did not recognize as Pure. Anyway, Harry's brain got a good workout, mine too, I totally understood everything. Too bad I couldn't do shit with the information.

After a day of starving, it is amazing how fast you are getting used to being pampered by elves, Harry went into the ritual chamber. He took a good look around, noticed the setup as the one he planned with his girls, and paled. Does he have to do this with bloody Goblin Virgins?
Worse! A bunch of old cronies entered the Chamber. One took a good look at Harry's expression and commented: "Let me guess, you read that book from that pervert Castor Black? The one that always demands naked Virgins? Wake up, boy! This is about Magic Power, not drooling over naked women. Go in the middle of the Heptagon, and I have to disappoint you, we keep our robes on."
She muttered to the others: "If we didn't feed that pervert to our dragons, I would do it again."
Harry stammered: "I am sorry, I am not curious about your bodies, please keep your clothes on."
The old Crone said to her colleague: "Should we be offended for the fact he doesn't want to see us naked?"
Throat Slicer got impatient: "Don't waste our prestigious time and start the ritual already!"
The old Crone glared at him: "Don't rush us little cub! You are not too old to receive a spanking."
Throat Slicer back paddled: "Grandma! Not in front of my clients!"
After that comedy show, the ritual was kind of bland, some ingredients were burned, a lot of chanting in Gobbelywobbelygoo, and Harry's blood began to heat up, some fast chanting cooled it down, while Throat Slicer saw a sample of Harry's blood turn to ashes. To cover the distance, the chanting kept on going for two hours.

In a certain home, littered with kitty pictures, some pages started to burn. It was a shame the bitch wasn't home to extinguish the fire. At the ministry an office started off some fire alarms, when maintenance investigated, they discovered a secret drawer with two smoking Bloodquills.
An investigation from the Aurors discovered several different kinds of blood on the other Quills, the trial of Umbitch was rescheduled to next week. Umbitch office received a complete makeover, everything was stripped in search of secret compartments.
The results made a reschedule of Fudge's trial necessary when a notebook was found with the number of bribes Fudge deposited in his secret vault. It couldn't happen to more deserving people.

In South Germany, at the border of Switzerland, Tom Riddle was negotiating with the Werewolf packs, it did not help his temper when he saw them glancing at his crotch region, picturing his Unicorn boxers, even his snake was not scary enough to impress the mangy dogs anymore.
Suddenly Tom's body started to heat up, his veins expanded, and blisters started to appear on his body, the Werewolves saw Tom's head starting to smoke, Tom waved his new wand to cool him down, but nothing helped, before the wolves eyes, Tom burned up from the inside out, with a last scream he burned up.
The Wraith that appeared above the corps glared at the Wolves, it said: "I need your help to get a new body. Help me and you will be greatly rewarded."
Nagini was annoyed, the bubble she was floating in dissolved when Tommy burned up, and she was dropped from six feet down onto a stone floor. Angry, she lashed out to the closest person and gave her a good bite, expecting to have a meal out of it. With Tommy dead on the floor, and the snake attacking, the wolves defended themselves and cut Nagini into small pieces.
With the death of Nagini, another black smoke merged with the Wraith and Tom Riddle evaporated into thin air with a weak scream and a scared face.
Exit Tommy, the wolves did not care much about the Brit anyway, Fenrir and his pack moved there two weeks ago, and the rest of the packs hoped they stay there. Nagini delivered one last meal, the pack had 2 dinners and ten pairs of boots from her.

Screams were heard in Askaban… even more than usual, the death eaters noticed their Mark burn into a scar with the shape of the Mark. All over Britain death eaters thought they were rid of the Slave brand and wanted to test it out, too bad the bracelet was linked to their blood. Another lesson learned.
Snape, in the land down under, was trying his first steps to woo a muggle-born. When his mark burned away, he inspected the mark and noticed the connection was gone.
He took his wand and grinned at the woman: "Oh, I have waited for this moment for so long, I want to try if I can use it again, and what better way to test it is on a Mudblood like you."
He raised his wand and prepared a Crucio, the Bracelet activated after the first Cru, and Snape was rolling on the floor in agony before he could finish with Cio."
The witch was not an idiot and noticed what he wanted to do, she disarmed Snape, strip-searched him, and bound him up in ropes.
She crouched next to him: "That was not nice of you Snape, going on that tattoo on your arm, you must be one of those British lunatics that were rampaging through innocent folks. No, I don't think I will let you go, you see, I have family there... I had family there until your friends paid them a visit and killed them all."
She smiled sadly: "Yes, Snape I knew what and who you are, I even know what that bracelet is for. In a moment mom and dad are here with my brothers to have a word with you. Dad is especially angry, after all, you killed Grandpa and Grandma along with my aunt's family. Ugh! Is that a reason to pee? Well, Snape, you are going to eat your death very slowly. Ah! There they are! Hmm? Now you are shitting your boxers? Pussy."
Xxxxx
The ritual ended, Harry's Vault got a bit… a lot of Galleons less when the Crones left. Harry provided a fresh sample of blood to Throat Slicer and asked: "Now we have to look for that big snake, and I am done. The DMLE can take care of those Giants, Werewolves, and those Acromantulas. Say Throat Slicer, in 93 I killed a Basilisk in the chamber of Secrets, there is bound to be something left, or Dumbledore has snatched it all. Are you interested to find out?"
Throat Slicer nodded: "We are very interested Lord Potter, we heard some tales from the lords Greengrass, Davis, and Abbot, they told me you showed the memory of the kill, can we watch the memory too?"
Go for it Padawan! It is time to collect the bounties of your hard work! You already have seven of them, but money in the bank is important too. I think Padawan is getting ready to go without my help.
