Mrs. J.K., Obi-Wan is preparing for his next adventure… He still doesn't know where he will end up… neither do I. Someone suggested Dragon Ball, but to get stronger in there, he needs to be beaten up to within an inch of his life… that is not a reward according to me. Meh, I'll think up something, for free even.

Bummer, Young Jedi, they were prepared. There is nothing more to do than to barricade my mindscape tonight. It is going to be a rough night.
22 A Final letter.
Young Jedi, they made their minds up, a seven witches Coven, and married tonight, remember, when things are too tough, there exist those blue muggle pills that give a boner for hours on end. I know, I took one in my previous life, but the missus was not in the mood, I was forced to do it by hand… not my finest hour, I can tell you that.
Anyway, Hermione was off the market, she dated Diggings every Sunday, and she is happy about it. Diggings was even happy for her that she was allowed access to the Potter Library. According to him, it was a unique honor very few could claim.
Luna compensated by dry-humping her sister-wives, claiming that Harry has to be her first shag, but expect a lot of them the day after.
Again, Luna is on the kinky side of the Force! I am starting to like her best… I can wait to write my last letter.

That night, my last good deed was to project a Numbing and a Healing spell to make the night pleasurable for the girls too. Getting the cherry popped can hurt I am told, so those two spells will make it a night with good memories.
I did not stay to witness the marriage, our young Jedi can handle it by himself. Locked up in my Mindscape, I did some sorting. The discovery that I can delete memories got me on a rampage through memory lane. All the murders he committed got erased, the torture, the branding of his slaves are gone too.
I discovered the blackmail Tom had over Dumbledore, Albus was fucking Tom's crush while he was witnessing it, hiding behind strong wards in a corner of the room. A memory vial to Dumbledore when he came back to Britain shut the headmaster up about his identity. Yep, Tom was not interested in girls, torturing was much more fun.
Anyway, sifting through the memories and deleting the worst ones took all night. It was a relief, now that they are gone, the pressure was gone too. Being stored away did not mean they were forgotten, now they are. I just left some samples to remember he was a scumbag.
The next morning, there were eight people at the breakfast table with silly smiles on their faces. Young Jedi did something right last night, their faces read: Well Shagged! Good for him and them. Until he remembers that he has to perform that for the rest of his life. His pelvis will suffer… no, they can vanish it and with some Skele-grow he will be fit for another decade. I better save that recipe in a special memory bank. It might come in handy.
A flock of Gringotts owls flew in with the notification that their Contracts changed into marriage certificates, and a summon to get the Lady's rings. The girls realized now that their parents received notification too, soon the floo activated, one parent after another came through, led by Aunty Amelia.
She said: "So you all went through with it? Then congratulations are in order. Everyone, I am happy for you. The decision to get married before going to Hogwarts was approved by us all, so we expected it one of these days. I wish you all the happiness you so deserve."
Every girl went to their respective parents to have a private word. Marriage usually happens before the wedding night, mostly with a big wedding day. Skipping it is a big deal that Young Jedi has to make up for one way or another.
Hannah told everyone: "We will have a big celebration between Yule and New Year at Potter Manor, each weekend until then we will rotate the visits to the parents. We still have not decided when we will form the Coven. The ideal time is the Spring Equinox or the Summer Solstice next year. Or, this Sanheim to break Harry's streak of bad luck on that day."
Daphne added: "We have to get our Rings at Gringotts, then we have to visit Headmistress Sprout."
Aunt Amelia chuckled: "She was not happy when her new office got demolished by us. One visit from Harry was enough to get the old headmasters on a rampage through Britain, spilling Dumbledore's darkest secrets to everyone."
She looked at Harry: "By the way Harry, this got Dumbledore declared as a Dark Lord, and make you capture him and hand him over to the DMLE entitled for an Order of Merlin First Class. Vanquishing Tom Riddle was not proven to be your doing for 100%, so only the one for Dumbledore will get you one. For your actions to control the death eaters and the new bracelets for Askaban, an Order of Merlin third Class is in discussion, some won't grant you that because they claim you destroyed the Dementors and had to compensate for it."
Harry shrugged: "I don't care for those Orders, if you see the history of the last ones that got one… Pettigrew, Fudge, Lockhart, Dumbledore, getting one is not an honor anymore, you better revise the last ones."
Cyrus Greengrass commented that: "We are already on it Harry, at the next Wizengamot those will all be revoked, the arguments for the revokes will be posted in the Daily Prophet. Cleaning the mess Riddle and Dumbledore caused will take months. The ICW is watching us closely, they were being fooled by Dumbledore for years, and are not happy about it. Like us, they will have to revise all the laws Dumbledore endorsed."

At Gringotts, the girls got their rings, separate private vaults are opened for each wife, and Tracey had a blast negotiating the basilisk parts, especially the meat to the Goblins, gaining a lot of respect from those buggers for her cunning. Knowing Harry was responsible to let their young ones get their first kill, got milked by Tracey to the max, gaining her some more Galleons out of the deal.
Rusty Blade, the Account Manager for Slytherin commented: "Lady Slytherin, there is talk to make you an honorary Goblin. Not many that dealt with the nation came out on top, you are one of the few that did."
Tracey smiled: "Does that title come with benefits Warrior Rusty Blade? If so, I am honored to be named a Goblin from the nation."
Rusty Blade laughed out loud: "You just proved you are worthy of it Lady Slytherin, there rest only to find a fitting Goblin name for you. Our elders will meditate on it for a few days and let you know."
Luna grinned: "I have a few names for Tracey: Gold finger, Golden eyes, Silver tongue, oh yes, she has a silver tongue."
Yes! Our Luna is firmly on the Kinky side of The Force.
Harry interrupted: "Quit teasing, Luna, we still have Hogwarts to go to. Any name the Horde comes up with will be fitting for Lady Slytherin."

The group arrived at the gates of Hogwarts, where Hagrid let them in: "Harry, I am sorry for the trouble I caused you. Headmistress Sprout and Professor Flitwick explained all how I was deceived by Dumbledore. You did well these months, if there is a way to make it up for it just tell me."
Harry nodded: "We were all deceived by Dumbledore, Hagrid. He had a way to profit from our weaknesses. You were not the only one that was fooled by him."
Hagrid sighed: "That is true lad, he had us all fooled, Headmistress Sprout is expecting you."
Hagrid led us into the castle while discussing the Testrals with Luna, and the counterparts she discovered in South America: "Now look here Luna, I know for certain that a herd of Testrals went to South America in 1732, it said so in the books of Hogwarts, we donated two mares to that herd."
Luna argued: "That is long enough to develop into a subspecies Hagrid. They are smaller, and darker green instead of pitch black. They are shy to humans too. They are not original Testrals anymore, I call them Tistrals. Muggles had done the same thing with horses, they call them Mustangs."
Headmistress Sprout waited for us at the entrance of the castle: "Welcome Lord Potter and Ladies, as you already explained in your letter, let me congratulate you on your marriages to these wonderful girls. I am pleased most of them came out of the burrow."
Harry bowed his head: "Thank you, Headmistress, you are right, the majority are Puffs with two Snakes and one Eagle marrying a Lion. Although I do not regard Houses important anymore, I look at the personalities that I came to love and respect. For this reason, we are requesting private chambers in the Lord's wing."
Headmistress Sprout nodded: "As is your right as a Lord of five Houses, if you follow me I show you the rooms to choose from, all have a private floo, although we ask that students don't leave Hogwarts without notifying the staff. Every entry or exit will be noted, and the powder has to be purchased by yourself."
Hestia said: "That is acceptable, we are Aurors that will be living here with our husband. On the weekends, however, we all will spend them outside of Hogwarts for our social obligations. That way the students can have a normal life without the pressure of 'The Man That Used the Force' to capture Dumbledore."
Sprout was relieved: "That is acceptable, the reputation of Lord Potter is transcending Dumbledore and Tom Riddle already. His use of The Force to chase Riddle away and incapacitate his death eaters, along with arresting Dumbledore with it is becoming legendary. Here we are, they are all the same, only the location is different."
Hannah said: "We take the one closest to the main entrance of the castle, so guests won't disturb the students much."
Daphne asked: "On a personal note, how safe is my sister going to be in Slytherin's house? A lot of children from death eaters are in it, and could vent their anger on her."
Sprout answered: "I activated all wards again. Spellwork in hallways will be registered and punished accordingly to the spell and intent that is used. The wards in the dorms, all of them are activated, except the ones in Slytherin, there is a password on that I can not read, even not as headmistress."
Harry said: "Maybe I can help, I suspect it is a password in Parseltongue, my guess is that Riddle as the last Parselmouth meddled with it. Can you give me administration rights for a minute to investigate? I am already keyed in as Lord Slytherin, just to monitor the castle except for the dorms for privacy reasons."
Sprout closed her eyes, and Harry felt the controls settling in. Harry inspected the wards in the Slytherin dorms, and found the spell that blocked access, chuckling he disabled them with §Lord Voldemort demands access!§
Laughing, Harry explained: "Riddle was such a narcissist, it is easy to guess his passwords, a few words that praise him into high heaven and you have his password. You have access and the controls back now Headmistress. I still have to enter the dorm to remove that spell, or the next Parselmouth can block it again."
Susan said: "Another issue is Binns. Sorry Headmistress, but he has to go. He is not teaching, he is just spouting anti-Goblin propaganda. In the five years we were here we never learned about our ancestors or how we developed our Magic. History of Magic and Muggle studies are crippling our integration in the normal world."
Sprout held her hand up and said: "I know, you will be complaining about Potions too, Snape resigned a few days after Lord Potter chased Riddle away. We were lucky to contract a Potion Mistress from Macusa to teach Potions. She will start next week, she, on our urging will accept students with an acceptable in their Owls after we showed some memories of how Snape was teaching his students. She is willing to give those students a chance to improve their grades. She also sees it as a challenge to her teaching abilities."
If she is a looker then I am all for it Young Jedi. Although, everyone is better than Snape.

Harry entered the Slytherin common room and located the source of the spell, after inspecting it, he commented: "It seems he was prepared to curse the Dada position, the spell originate from here, there must be something in the classroom as well. Can I investigate Headmistress?"
Sprout smiled: "Be my guest Lord Potter, with that curse gone, will do much to regain our standing."
The Dada classroom had an anchor in each corner, so had the sleeping quarters from the teacher one in every corner linked to a rune in Parseltongue camouflaged as a scratch on the wall.
Harry disabled them all and removed the traces: "Done, Headmistress. I don't know if all the problems are solved, but this curse is removed. I must say that Riddle put a lot of effort into that spell, he must have planned for it when he was still a student."
Sprout agreed: "According to my knowledge, Riddle only came once to the castle applying for the Dada job."
Daphne said: "He must have prepared it all as a student, and when he was denied, he activated the curse. Too bad he was a crazy lunatic, he was brilliant with his Magic."
Tracey, as the only Quidditch fanatic next to Harry, said: "Headmistress, we will post an ad in the Daily Prophet and ask students and Alumni to donate old unused brooms to replace the firewood Madam Hooch is currently using, if that is alright with you?"
Sprout was speechless, why did nobody come up with that idea? She answered: "You have my Blessing Lady… I am sorry, which House are you the Lady for again?"
Chuckling, Tracey said: "I am Lady Slytherin, Daphne Greengrass is consort Slytherin. Hestia Jones is Lady Peverell, with Luna Lovegood Consort Peverell. Tonks-don't-say-my-first-name is Lady Black, That leaves Lady Potter for Hannah Abbot and Consort Potter for Susan Bones. All consorts are to continue their lines."
Sprout said: "Put it in the Daily Prophet too, so you don't have to repeat it over and over, it is quite the list. That way the whole country is informed at once."
When they passed the History of Magic class, Harry asked: "Headmistress? Do I have permission to send Binns to the afterlife? Or do you have another solution?"
Sprout thought it over: "We can use another classroom, as long as Binns stays away from the students, I say he can remain here. Our ghosts are part of Hogwarts, only the ones that want to move on should be helped that way."
Young Jedi is reforming Hogwarts? I admit that Binns is long overdue to get sacked. The brooms are a nice move from Tracey, and the curse gone from Dada will be big news. I approve, as long as the teachers are female and pretty… No comments please, I need something pretty to look at to compensate for my lack of a body.

Black Manor in Wiltshire, formally Malfoy Manor, got a serious renovation. Although it didn't need much work. The Goblins put in the eviction note the warning that any damage to the estate will be repaired with Malfoy's money.
Harry reworked the ward stones and upgraded them, courtesy of yours truly, and ten very big books onwards. The girls had a blast with the decorations, the house elves needed some time to recuperate though. Lord Malfoy is as stupid as his daddy was.
Harry told Draco: "Did nobody tell you that House-elves work ten times harder when they feel part of the family? Only idiots treat house elves badly. Shape up Draco or you will end up with no elves at all."
He was already forced to treat them better with his bracelet, but old habits are hard to forget. Nimmy put peacocks on the menu for a few days, the white color of those birds was the wrong color.
The White Island was deserted, only a few stones pointed to the place where the mansion once stood. The island was a disappointment, a piece of land in the sea with some grass and rocks on it.
Tracey sighed: "Harry, just a vacation home here, to indicate this is Slytherin's ancestral home, but I want a home on the mainland."
Hestia commented: "For me too, Druids Temple is a tourist attraction now, if we start building we would break the statue of secrecy. Although we are not in a hurry, probably when our kids graduate."
Tracey agreed: "There will be enough money for it. I sold part of the gold from the Peverell vault to Gringots. Then I changed the galleons into muggle money and deposited it in the muggle bank that cooperates with Gringotts, from there I started investing in the companies from Obi-Wan's list. Obi-Wan's list will bring us big returns in a few years.
I will spread my investments over several different kinds of companies, and time. We will be swimming in money after ten years."
I bet you do Tracey, you are my favorite person at the moment, pretty and smart, very pretty indeed. 9.6, Fine stock.

The day before the train ride, Hermione came to collect the ten books she inherited from Sirius: "Harry, here is my selection I want to have from the Black Library. Is this ok with you?"
Harry smiled: "You can select five more Hermione, you can have the originals, while I make copies of them. Now that I think of it, did your father discover a link with Dagworth-Granger?"
Hermione shook her head: "No, I studied the Granger line from Dagworth-Granger, if there was a connection, it would be more than 6 centuries back, too far away to claim the House, the paperwork of the muggle side only goes back the great London fire in 1666, even then it is Granger, not Dagworth."
Harry shrugged: "It was worth investigating. It would stick it to those stuffy purebloods."
Hermione pointed out at Harry: "Five out of your seven wives are Purebloods Harry."
Harry looked insulted: "But they are not Stuffy Hermione! And these two months of dating in the muggle world integrated them nicely. Luna is even a Trekkie! I bet Obi-Wan is going to complain about it in his last letter."
You bet that I am! She shunned The Force! She left me for Jean-Luc Fucking Picard! What does he have that I don't? Except for a body, acting skills… she moved down the list of favorites though.
Hermione asked: "What Newts are you taking Harry?"
Harry told her: "Charms, Transfiguration, Dada, Runes, Arithmancy, Potions, Care with Hagrid. I dropped Divination, History, Astronomy, and Herbology. I will take the Newt exams of Muggle studies and Enchanting without taking the classes. I could do that for Runes and Arithmancy, but the wives are taking those classes, and it is a great opportunity to experiment in a controlled environment. I am planning to do some self-study of healing."
Did that Jedi just plan to abuse me? Is he going to read books so that I can cram the knowledge into his head? True, I am doing it for more than a month, he is already at Master level with Runes, Arithmancy, and Enchanting. Even Potions doesn't have any secrets anymore, only a lack of practical experience. But he better shows some more gratitude…
To be honest, I am getting rewarded in a way, every night I take a few minutes to admire my surroundings. Shut it! Everything below 60 is a few minutes! It's all from your perspective. They are asleep anyway. No, that doesn't make me a creep… I think. I am just creating some happy memories for my Patronus. Eat me.

The train left the station, with Ron running after it and jumping on just in time. Ginny was already on the train with us for an hour, tired to be late all the time she left him behind.
We expanded our compartment to accommodate Neville and his girlfriends, and Hermione with Diggings. Harry took extra furniture out of his apartment trunk, while Dobby set the table for Lunch.
Ron came into the apartment and complained: "Ginny? Why didn't you wait for me?"
Ginny shrugged: "I am not your mother or wife Ron, I did wake you up, if you are too lazy to get out of bed is not my problem. I happen to like to be on time instead of rushing at the last minute."
Harry said: "Settle down and eat, you are on the train and that is what counts, even when you miss the train, you can take the floo to Hogsmeade and arrive before us."
After a minute Luna said: "Ron, the twins are not here anymore, there is no need to shovel your food as fast as possible in your mouth any longer. So enjoy your food by eating slower and savoring the taste of it."
Ron stopped chewing for a moment to gather his thoughts, he swallowed and said: "Thank you for reminding me Luna, the twins always tried to spike my food so I had to eat as fast as I could. It is going to be hard to break this habit though. I am eating like this for years."
Daphne commented: "Knowing what you need to change is already a big step Weasley, if you want, we will assist you, I am certain Hermione and Neville will help too."
Ron looked at Daphne: "Thank you Consort Slytherin, please, you can call me Ron if you want. Hermione, my parents want me to thank you again for not pressing charges against my mother. It took two days in St Mungoos to flush all the potions and compulsion charms out. Ginny and I did have some residue from alchemy potions in our bodies. Dumbledore stopped potioning us a month before the holidays. It is no excuse, but it explains some of our strange behaviors."
Hermione nodded: "No hard feelings Ron, we already put the one to blame on trial. Your mother was a pawn, just like the rest of us."
Diggings commented: "I saw the memories, Ron, on the moments it counted you were there for them. I must say, quite the achievement if you calculate the potions and compulsion charms with it."
Ginny grumbled: "It did mess with our lives, if Harry took offense with that marriage contract mum sent, we would be ruined. Harry? At St Mungo's they discovered I have a life debt to someone. That life debt is to you when you saved me from that possession. Dad told me to ask you and your wives how you want to be repaid for it."
That silenced them all, Harry thought for a bit and answered: "I have no clue, Ginny, by being a good friend perhaps? Girls? Any suggestions?"
Luna said: "I could use more friends."
Susan thought about it and gasped: "If you think about it, what would have happened if Riddle took that basilisk into the great hall during dinner? How many would die? No, how many would survive it? My guess is that the whole school has a life debt to Harry."
Harry groaned: "Sue! I wished you didn't say that. Rumors will spread, and life will be more difficult."
Hannah chuckled: "Yeah, now you have to think of ways they can repay you, or you end up with around four to five hundred new friends."
Luna grinned: "They still have to investigate the truth of it before drawing conclusions, Harry. Now enough talk, eat your lunch before Ron finishes it all."

The welcoming feast was great, Sprout introduced the new Potion Professor Wanda Maximoff, she got a standing ovation for minutes, partly for not being Snape and a big part for being smoking hot. The name sounded familiar somehow.
The new History teacher was from Germany, Naomi Shiffer, a 9.9 on a scale of 10, that I did not give her a full 10 is that her sister Claudia deserves that 10/10 hands down. She will keep the students awake for sure, even the boys at night will have a Hard time falling asleep.
McGonagall had a sour face on when Flitwick guided the firsties into the hall. She got demoted to just teaching and should be glad she wasn't sacked for her part in the management of the school.
Babbling was promoted to head of Gryffindor House under loud cheering of said House. Sinistra became the Head of House for Slytherin.
Sprout ended her speech with: "The days are gone that students get away with crimes and abuse against fellow students. This also goes for the Professors, bullying students or favoring Houses over other Houses will get sanctioned. Unjustly rewarded or sanctioned House points can be disputed.
Students that hurt other students intentionally will face more than to lose some house points; punishments can go up to expulsion, even being arrested by the DMLE for the ones of age is possible."
Sprout looked at everyone in the great hall: "Now that the unpleasant announcements are over, here are some nice ones coming. Every weekend, the four Quidditch teams will have some of their members, under the guidance of Madam Hooch, tutor the first and second years to fly and teach them the fine points of the game. That way the flying lessons will be much safer, and more students will become expert flyers."
The applause again lasted minutes.
Sprout raised her hands and continued: "On advice of Lord Slytherin, we created study halls close to the Library for each year, so students from the four houses can study and socialize together."
His exact words were: "Secluding students from each other is silly, we are here for seven years, part of it is to make friends, we can't do this when three-quarters of those potential friends are locked away behind password-protected doors. We are not at war with the other Houses, they are not our enemies, it is just a place to sleep and relax after a day of study. I am married with five girls that are students at Hogwarts, none are from my own House. I could have got to know them better if we had the chance to socialize after class."

Young Jedi, you matured up nicely. I guess Samhain is a good day to write that final letter. I will use these three months to boost your knowledge. After all those shitty years, you kind of deserve it. Although you are shagging seven totally gorgeous babes, you are already rewarded. Meh, it gives me something to do in the daytime and something to look at, at night. Fuck you! I need my reward too!
