Chapter 45 Madam Longbottom, the hidden painting and the night of feeling

10th January 1998, Lord's office, First Floor, Potter Manor

Harry feels a couple of people Portkey in and feels that there is one more left so it means that Madam Longbottom is with them. He didn't talk with Frank about how they were going to do it. He needs to decide what the best idea would be. A couple of minutes later there is a knock. He says "enter."

The door opens and there is the group that left including the elves. Harry uses his wand to conjure six chairs.

He asks "Tarby, Tolly and Dissey do you want to stay, go for a rest or continue with what you normally do?"

Tarby says "Tarby will like to return to the library to help Lady Hermione with books and put them back in the right place."

Harry says "alright Tarby you can."

Tarby thanks Harry before popping out.

Tolly says "Master Harry Tolly and Dissey like to make sure all rooms are clean before taking a rest."

Harry smiles and says "sure Tolly that is alright with me if Dissey wants to help you."

He knows he shouldn't ask as Dissey want heavily nod her head. Dissey says "Dissey want to Master Harry."

Harry says "all right then. After the rooms make sure to rest and I suggest having a big dinner and then going to sleep so you won't be tired tomorrow after the rooms you don't work anymore today."

Tolly and Dissey reluctantly say "as you wish Master Harry" and pop out.

Harry now looks at the group and says "sorry about that please take a seat."

Everyone takes a seat except Madam Longbottom. Madam Longbottom tries to look stern but she never forgot when he and Neville were a baby and knew that they were friends from the first moment. They also played like brothers before James and Lily went into hiding as did her son and daughter-in-law.

Harry stands up and says "Madam Longbottom please take a seat. I think we have some things to talk about."

Madam Longbottom nods as she takes a seat and says "yes Lord Potter it seems so."

Harry calls for Wissey. When Wissey pops in Harry asks if anyone would like something to drink. Madam Longbottom, Remus, Kingsley and Jacob ask for strong tea. Bill and Harry ask for a butterbeer and Fleur asks for a nice cup of coffee.

Less than five minutes later Wissey pops in with a tray with one teapot, one coffee pot, two bottles of butterbeer, five empty cups, a bowl with sugar cubes and a small milk pitcher.

Harry thanks Wissey before she pops out. Everyone grabs their drink and after Fleur, Remus, Kingsley, Jacob and Madam Longbottom poured a drink and took a sip Madam Longbottom looks at the others. She wonders why they are not getting her son and daughter-in-law that is the biggest and almost only reason she is here, wherever here is.

As nothing was said for many minutes Madam Longbottom is getting anxious. Finally, after almost 15 minutes she snaps "Lord Potter where are my son and daughter-in-law? How are you sure they are safe?"

Harry says "of course Madam Longbottom. However, before that will happen did the others explain the situation?"

Madam Longbottom says "they told me about the situation regarding your … multiple wives more than even necessary, Bellatrix Le… Black and Narcissa … Black are here and under your protection. Furthermore, they said that you know where my son and daughter-in-law are as stated in your letter and that they are safe. Before you asked I have agreed to confinement to a room if I have the urge to attack Bellatrix Black or Narcissa Black but also if I try to start to scare away girls."

Harry says "well that is all. Remus did everything went fine?"

Remus nods and says "yes although barely. We don't know how but when we were planning to leave Death Eaters found us. There were trying to break through the wards. Just when we Portkeyed out the wards around the property broke and it seems that the anti-portkey ward wasn't completely up yet as the Portkey could break through it."

"We were lucky to get away as it would be almost three to one and while I have faith in our abilities I think there was a big chance if they saw all of us that they would call for reinforcements and maybe even Tom himself before we could get away."

Harry says "All alright, well then I am happy, did everything important managed to get here Madam Longbottom?"

Madam Longbottom says "Lord Potter as I wasn't sure how long I was able to stay there as there is a record of that house in the ministry which also the reason they found the house at this time which was fortunate for me it seems."

Harry asks "did they see all of you?"

Kingsley says "I know what you think Harry but I don't think so. I don't think they saw me although there aren't many deviously handsome long dark-skinned wizards around."

Harry gives a small laugh and says "you are channelling Sirius, if anyone was to do it I would have put my money on Remus. Remus, do you think Kingsley was seen?"

Remus says "I don't think so Harry. Most of the Death Eaters were focused outwards. Only one third were watching our way and Kingsley wasn't near a window and stayed away when most of us looked outside when Madam Longbottom said the wards were losing power."

Harry says "well then we still got the surprise."

Madam Longbottom demandingly says "Lord Potter, I want to see my son and daughter-in-law."

Harry says "Madam Longbottom while our houses are allies that don't mean you get to speak like that to me in my Lord's Office in my manor."

Suddenly they hear "come on now grandson. You don't want to keep her waiting for too long. I remember she has a fiery temper."

Harry asks "Granddad you have a portrait here?"

Charlus says "yes."

Harry becomes red with embarrassment and says "why didn't you tell me before?"

Charlus says "I didn't know where I was when I suddenly heard you and Jacob's youngest daughter."

Harry says "Oh bloody hell."

Jacob raises his eyebrow and says "something I need to know Harry. I hope isn't what I think it is as I would at least expect a bedroom would be involved."

Harry immediately says "no, no it isn't like that. If granddad only heard me and Astoria it was a couple of days ago when we soulbonded."

Harry decides to avoid any awkwardness by asking "where is your portrait Granddad?"

Granddad says "it is hidden try to find me and no Harry magic won't work. Hahahaha."

Harry stands up and walks around the room when he suddenly stops and opens a small cabinet like door in the wall that wasn't there before.

Charlus asks "how did you find me? I know I can see in but you shouldn't be able to."

Harry says "I suspected it was the same as the hall of the portraits so I let something inside me guide me."'

Charlus says "ah oh well. There are still more hiding inside the house though. I will not tell much but I think Dorea has one in the kitchen or in the mistress study. Or maybe both. She goes there if she wants to be alone. I only got this one though. Can you place me on the wall behind the desk as the previous Lord Potter I should be there as your father's portrait doesn't work? That is where I should be when my second portrait is found, just like my father and his father before him all the way until the first Lord Potter that dead when we had this manor although most Lord Potter made their own hiding place like I 'remade' this one."

Harry nods and grabs his wand before levitating the portrait and with a sticking charm placing it on the wall behind his desk.

Charlus says "well now you find me you can use the place for something else I would suggest some strong drink so your wives won't find out. Now I will leave you to it, Harry. If you need me you can call me, but only for advice also there are some things you need to find out by yourself. Oh yes before I go I think you should know next time you decide to snog one of your wives the whole morning make sure that nobody is in the painting my grandmother wasn't happy with you although after seeing you communicate in your mind she found it adorable if the face sucking was less."

"You can ask us to leave the family portrait and also the individual portrait that includes me if you need time alone. You can also close a family portrait temporally but I wouldn't do that as I did it once and my parents were mad also was Dorea when she found it did as she said it implied I would try something. Maybe I did have that in mind but I couldn't explain she was almost as scary as Lily was."

Harry blushes even harder as Charlus walks out of the painting laughing as soon as he is out of the painting the laughing stops.

Harry thinks 'Susan can you bring Frank and Alice to the first-floor office?'

Susan thinks 'sure Love be there in a few.'

Madam Longbottom says "Lord Potter, I am sorry but please I want to see my son and daughter."

Harry smiles and says "Madam Longbottom I just ask you to wait for a few minutes."

Every minute Madam Longbottom's want to see Frank and Alice increases. Almost five minutes later there is a knock. Harry says nothing but just smiles. The door opens without him saying anything. Susan smiles and says "I will return to the garden. We are almost done with the stables. I think we can make the big shed for Grawp and Fluffy today too."

Harry says "thank you, Susan. I will see you at dinner I guess."

Susan nods before leaving although she let the door open.

Harry says "please come inside."

The moment Frank and Alice step inside Madam Longbottom almost squeals like a schoolgirl.

Frank says "hello mother."

Alice says "hello Madam Longbottom."

Madam Longbottom stands up and walks to them. First, she hugs Frank and says "it is mom, don't be distant as with mother."

Then she hugs Alice and says "it is Augusta or also mom what you prefer."

Madam Longbottom keeps hugging them for close to ten minutes while the others are enjoying their drink.

Madam Longbottom looks at Harry and with tears in her eyes "thank you Lord Potter for curing my baby boy and my daughter. House Longbottom is in your debt, please tell us what we can do to repay this huge debt."

Harry says "Madam Longbottom, don't mention it as your allies it was the least I could make happen."

Madam Longbottom asks "did the goblins do this?"

Harry shakes his head before he says "no. Bellatrix did it. As she was controlled she wanted to cast a family Black curse that would only lose their mind for a few days but before she could complete the curse she was stunned. It became a much worst curse that made them seem like they lost their mind until the caster could dispel it. As you see she did."

Alice says "Madam Longbottom Bellatrix is nice how she is now although she barely talks to us. I have forgiven her and Frank tries to I would suggest the same, but I do want to talk about what you did to Neville."

Madam Longbottom says "well, I wasn….."

Frank says "mother I don't even want to know what you did, but I do know you went too far. Neville is a wizard and a strong one but if you tried to force him to show his magic not to mention giving him my wand and not his own. How could you?"

Madam Longbottom says "don't use that tone with me, Frank, I am still your mother and I hoped that by giving Neville your wand, he will get inspired to live up to you and work for him well."

Frank says "you maybe be my mother but I was still Lord Longbottom. I may not have my ring but I am still Lord Longbottom."

Madam Longbottom says "well not anymore Neville wears the ring."

Frank says "that doesn't matter. I will gladly wear the older ring as I would have made him Lord Longbottom if I was still it as he seems more than qualified especially with everything I heard.

Alice says "wand chose the wizard Madam Longbottom not the other way around. Neville is his own person. You should have got him his own wand. Then he would have the confidence sooner than after he got his own wand."

Frank says "I think we should talk."

Frank looks past his mother and says "Lord Potter thank you for allowing my mother here. If you will not see her at dinner but Alice and I are present she will have chosen for the confinement. If none of us is then I will make sure you know what her decision is."

Harry says "Frank and Alice thank your time. I think we should be able to call each other by our first name as friends and allies."

Frank says "as you wish Lo…. Harry."

Madam Longbottom, Frank and Alice left the room.

When the door closes Kingsley says "Harry I hope the manor has strong wards."

Harry asks "do I want to know why?"

Jacob says "well …. maybe not but you should know. Madam Longbottom is strong and stubborn just a Frank. It seems considering Neville Frank is not happy and Madam Longbottom thinks she did the right things. They will have a big argument and will they will not draw wands at each other especially since Frank doesn't have a wand. I think it will be harmless but I hope the silences wards in the rooms are strong or they will surely break when they start shouting at each other."

Harry sighs and says "you made me sorry for a bit Kingsley."

Kingsley just shrugs. Harry says "I need to do something so if you don't mind."

Jacob, Kingsley, Remus, Bill and Fleur nod their head, stand up and leave the office. As soon as they left Wissey pops in and gets everything except Harry's butterbeer as he hasn't finished it yet.

10th January 1998, Potter Manor

After dinner but before dessert is served Harry asks "Luna, how did building the stable and shed go?"

Luna smiles and says "it went great Harry. The elves did a really good job. The large stable for the Hippogriffs is already done and like you asked the Hippogriff can walk free in there and can also walk in and out when they want. I noticed that the mate of Buckbeak immediately went inside and started to build a nest for her young. It also has a large side where Grawp and Fluffy can sleep like a big shed but keep them separate from the Hippogriff for safety. I think we can build Hagrid's cabin if he wants tomorrow but we may need more than one day to finish it."

Harry says "well that is great. Hagrid do you already know how you want your cabin to be?"

Hagrid nods and says "yes Harry. I think about the same as at Hogwarts but larger and I think to be sure have two very large sheds so Grawp and Fluffy have their own one and the stables can be fully for the hippogriffs including the shed so we can store food and other necessities there, especially if we get other animals."

Harry nods before he says "I think that is a good idea if we have enough supplies but first your cabin Hagrid."

Harry asks Luna "did you make sure Mipsy gardens is not close by or do the Hippogriffs need to go through them to get to the stables?"

Luna says "it isn't a problem. Mipsy can even expand her gardens without a problem if needed. She did hint she wants that after Dobby or Kreacher return so they can help her with expanding it."

Harry says "alright. When they return we will see what Mipsy thinks."

Luna smiles before she starts eating her pudding as dessert while the others also get their dessert and start eating.

10th January 1998, Heir bedroom, Potter Manor

Harry is already in bed. He wants to go sleeping but he hopes at least one of his wives comes to sleep with him. As he doesn't hear any of his girls in his head they obviously block him. Harry starts to fill away the memories from today. He wonders if Madam Longbottom will be able to interact with others or if she will stay in her room. Frank and Alice were at the dinner but they said Madam Longbottom needs to at least sleep a night over it and process anything before she can make a decision.

10th January 1998, the wives bedroom, Potter Manor

The reason the girls block Harry is that…..

"NO KATIE YOU CAN'T!" Hermione shouts.

Katie shouts back "WHY NOT. I PREFER OTHER SLEEPING CLOTHES BUT I GOT THIS TO USE IT WHEN I SLEEP WITH HARRY."

Hermione lowers her voice and says "I don't care. Harry isn't ready for that."

Luna says nothing and just smiles.

Katie says "Luna back me up here."

Luna looks at her and says "the Nargles say Hermione is partially right."

Hermione had a smug smile on her face when Luna continues "but so is Katie."

Hermione's smug smile falls and Katie had a small smile.

Luna says "Harry isn't ready but Katie shouldn't sleep in clothes she doesn't like. Harry also doesn't care. It is not a good idea to seduce Harry already. It is too soon. Harry does not feel the urge yet but if we try to seduce him the Urge comes sooner than later and we need to wait until Harry's potions regime is done as the Urge can be dangerous for Harry until the potions regime is done. At that time most of Harry's block will also be gone and the Urge will not be dangerous for Harry anymore unless he tries to suppress it too long."

Katie smiles falter but agree with Luna as Luna hasn't been wrong yet and according to Hermione, she hasn't been since Harry and she met her.

Luna continues "we need to talk to Andi she hasn't told us everything about the Urge. She has told us about Harry's side but there is also a girl's side of the Urge or in the case of Susan, the girls Urge."

Hermione says "what do you mean Luna?"

Luna says "Andi didn't want to needlessly make us afraid or scared. Although I would be overjoyed if it happens. She didn't want to make us panic as Harry's urge can also affect our magic I don't know how that should Andi tell us."

"Katie you and Susan can wear a nightdress that is alright but not some of the things we bought that can be done when the time is right."

Katie nods. Maybe a minute later Susan walks in wearing a nightdress with Hufflepuff colours. Katie grabs a red one she bought as it reminds her of Gryffindor red.

They walk out as they will sleep with Harry tonight. Luna wants to but something told her to not do it today. She lies down to sleep as does Hermione.

10th January 1998, Heirs bedroom, Potter Manor

Just as Harry is done sorting his memories and checking his starting defences his doors open and in walks Katie and Susan. Harry isn't surprised as Luna gave him a long snog before going to the wives' room. He had the feeling she wouldn't be with him tonight.

Harry asks "is everything alright? I know it is not easy and you may not like it that you need to share uhh…. me but I hope it will become easier over time although I would like to spend some time with you all."

Katie and Susan smile before getting into bed beside him. Susan on his right and Katie on his left.

Susan decides to ask what she wants.

Susan asks "Harry do you mind if you caress my breast? I feel weird asking for it though."

Harry asks embarrassingly "are you sure?"

Susan nods. Harry finds it weird. Sure Susan is his wife but it was almost unbearable to do it for Hermione as his best friend and wife. Susan is very nice and a friend during the DA but that doesn't make it less weird.

Harry had his hand on the small of her back moved over her and place it gently on her covered breast. Susan gives a small disappointed sigh. She grabs his hand and put it under her nightdress.

When she feels Harry's hand she gives a content sigh and put her head on his shoulder and says "good night Harry and Katie."

Katie says "sleep well, Susan and Harry."

Katie puts her head on his chest and Harry says bewildered "good night girls."

Katie falls asleep fast. Susan follows not much later.

Harry tries but he can't. In his mind without letting the girls know he compares his feel of Susan's breast with Hermione's breasts. He promised himself he would never do it but he can't help himself. Susan's breasts are certainly bigger but that doesn't make Hermione anywhere near small breasts. Hermione's breasts felt soft and Susan's breast he holds is also. Because Susan's breasts are bigger they are also heavier than Hermione's breasts at least the one he holds compared to the one Hermione feels that way.

Harry stays awake until Harry knows he loves Luna and Astoria and their breast size is the smallest of his wives. He loves all of his wives regardless of their breast size. With that reassuring thought, Harry finally falls asleep. It is almost like the girls know when he falls asleep as Katie and Susan snuggle closer to Harry than humanly possible what makes Harry fall asleep with a large smile what Katie mimics although Susan has a larger smile as the hand of Harry on her breast makes her have wonderful dreams especially as Harry in his sleep slowly and gently start to massage her breast.

11th January 1998, Heirs bedroom, Potter Manor

The first light of the day shines in Harry's room. It wakes up Hedwig on her perch but Harry, Katie and Susan remain sleeping as the light doesn't shine on the bed. Hedwig flies to the wooden headboard to go back to sleep. Within a minute Hedwig sleeps again quietly hooting.

While Hedwig is silently hooting Susan moans. Harry is gently caressing Susan's breast has moved in the night to mostly caressing her nipple. Susan in response by nuzzling and sometimes kissing his neck.

Katie is smiling and red as she is feeling what Harry is doing to Susan Susan is so close to Katie that Katie needs to concentrate to prevent her from feeling, what she can't do when she is asleep. Even when she was awake being so close to Harry and Susan while Harry does something to Susan it would take very much concentration to not feel everything when you are close as Katie is to Harry and Susan.

It was almost two hours later when Harry woke up. When Harry wakes up Katie almost immediately wakes up with a large moan and shoots right up. She feels she is wet and her nipples hard. She hears someone else moan and sees that Susan still is asleep but Harry is still rubbing her nipple.

Harry wants to remove his hand when Susan immediately grabs his hand when she feels it stops rubbing her nipple and slowly moves his hand. Harry asks "Susan?"

Apparently, Susan is still asleep. When Harry tries to grab her hand which holds his hand with his free hand she grabs his hand under the nightdress so hard it almost hurt.

Harry looks at Katie and asks "Katie can you help me?"

Katie nodded but after 5 minutes of trying it doesn't work as Susan gripped it too tight.

Katie says "you can only do one thing, Harry. Move you and back to her nipple and start rubbing it a bit harder than before. She would stop holding your hand and then eventually she will let you remove your hand."

Harry doesn't have another idea and feels when he moves his hand back that Susan in her sleep slowly releases her grip. Harry start rubbing again and a bit harder like Katie said he should.

Harry looks a Katie and sees her getting redder and asks "Katie is everything alright?"

Katie says "yes Harry but I can better go to the wives' bedroom to get a shower and get dressed."

Katie walks away weak-kneed as when she woke up she felt all the pleasure hit her and that made her orgasm.

It took only a few minutes before Susan give a large moan and Harry can remove his hand without Susan stopping him. It took another 5 minutes before Susan opens her eyes. She sees Harry and says "thank you, Harry. I had the most wonderful dream."

Harry says "no problem I guess. Do you remember holding my hand?"

Susan says "not really to be honest I only remember the best dream I ever had and then me waking up feeling wonderful that I needed to catch my breath and the first moment I opened my eyes I saw you."

Harry says "alright. I go take a shower I think you should do you look like you sweat a lot. I know I did and Katie did too."

Susan says "uh Harry ….. I understand if you don't want to but can you also rub my other breasts … and nipple before I go to shower. I definitely feel the difference and it feels a bit weird."

Harry nods and says "alright Susan. I am sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable. We can better sit at the end of the bed. If you then turn around I ….. will help you."

Susan smiles and says "thank you, Harry."

After 5 minutes of rubbing Susan's breast and nipple while she sometimes gives a small moan, she says "now I understand why I had such a great dream. This feels wonderful."

Another 10 minutes pass when Harry asks "is this alright Susan? I think the other may wonder what is keeping us."

Susan reluctantly says "sure Harry. See you downstairs?"

Susan wanted Harry could this do the whole day. She has fantasied about Harry rubbing and even sucking her breasts but the truth was a hundred times better than how good she thought if he did it. One thing was the same and that is how gentle Harry would be and would only increase pressure if she asks.

Susan hears Harry says "of course."

Susan gives Harry a big snog before leaving the bedroom. When Susan closes the door Harry slowly gets his clothes to take a nice long shower.

11th January 1998, wives' bedroom, Potter Manor

Susan immediately walks into the wives' bedroom to talk to Harry's wives. She expects Katie to be inside waiting to talk to her and she wasn't surprised although it seems Luna and Hermione were also waiting for her.

Luna asks "it felt really good, didn't it? Getting your boobies rubbed by Harry?"

Susan can only nod almost as fast as Dobby can. Luna says "I wish I had large boobies so Harry would rub mine too. Maybe if he does they become bigger?"

Katie says "I would like larger ones but that could become a problem when I want to play professional Quidditch and spells as Reducio should never be used on humans."

Hermione says nothing and tries to keep the other girls from seeing her face. Susan however sees Hermione's reaction and recognizes it as her own.

She asks "Hermione he rubbed yours too?"

Hermione decides not to lie and says "yes he did. I had trouble with one of my breasts aching as in his sleep he touched one and rubbed it. I woke up with one aching and one not. I asked him to rub the one that wasn't aching as his rubbing helped me not feel the aching of that breast as I have my monthly. I will not lie it felt wonderful as Harry was gentle and followed my instructions with more or less pressure and harder or softer."

Luna says "then when mine comes I ask him to rub mine too as it would help me Harry would surely do it."

Katie says "yes he would. I will ask him too."

All the girls have a smile on their faces. After a few minutes, Susan says "I will go to my room to get a shower. It is about time for breakfast."

11th January 1998, Potter Manor

After breakfast, Luna asks all the girls including Gabby to join her in the hospital wing.

When they enter the hospital wing, Andi, Narcissa and Bellatrix jump up. Andi doesn't understand why all the girls are here. Narcissa is wondering if something has happened and Bellatrix is afraid they come here to hurt her, throw her out or even outright kill her for what she has done even if she was controlled.

Luna smiles and says in her normal dreamy voice "Andi you did tell us about the urge from Harry's side but you haven't told us what it is from our side or if we even have an urge about the same as Harry has?"

Andi sighs and says "you are right Lady P…. Luna. I wanted to wait until Harry starts showing the Urge as I didn't want to needless worry any of you. I think I can better tell you all have a right to know."

(I will not repeat it just read Chapter 40 in the hospital wing)

Andi finishes explaining any question all the girls had right before lunch. Most of the girls were embarrassed. Susan as did Hannah admitted having dreams of having children. For Susan Harry was the father and for Hannah, Neville was the father. Some other girls also had those kinds of dreams but were too embarrassed to admit it.

The only ones who couldn't stop talking about having Harry's children were Gabby and Luna until they left the hospital wing Luna said that even though she wants to know to be pregnant the night after Tom is gone if you tell Harry that now he will be spooked and probably be very disturbed especially as Luna want to fight right alongside Harry to defeat Tom. Every girl knew that Harry and Neville will not allow her to fight with him if you are pregnant or already have a child.

11th January 1998, Library, Potter manor

Harry has spent the morning in his office as he has the feeling something is going to happen soon. He doesn't know what but he knows it is important. He tried to find out if Tom has planned anything but he couldn't feel Tom being happy or excited about something and he knows when Tom is excited he is planning something. Tom can't be happy about what Harry feels as it hasn't happened ….. yet.

The lunch was uneventful although the girls were quiet and those who were talking were whispering and giggling a little. Harry noticed but decide not to comment or think about it.

Harry was called in his mind by Hermione to come to the library. When he enters the library he sees many girls reading or whispering. He immediately sees Hermione. She has claimed the biggest table in the library with all the books like she is studying.

Harry walks to her and the moment Harry stands in front of the table Hermione says "finally Harry I have been waiting 5 whole minutes for you."

Harry sees that she let a seat next to her and Harry takes a seat and says "Hermione it came as soon as I could and it was only 5 minutes."

Hermione looks up from her book and looks into his eyes crossly. She almost hissed "5 minutes we could have used to continue to study and learn."

Harry holds his hands up in defeat and says "alright Hermione. Will you please tell me why you called me here? I can't be to study at the moment with the civil war."

Hermione sighs and says "Harry knowledge is important but you are right I didn't call you here to study. I called you here to talk with you about the spells you need to teach the others and maybe some more experienced and complicated spells to Luna, Ginny and me and anyone else that you think is good enough to train them. Eventually, everyone will be good enough with your training of course but unfortunately not many are at the moment."

Harry nods and says "I think you are right. I imagine you have already a list with spells, charms, curses and jinxes."

Hermione nods and without looking grabs a list of spells written on parchment. Hermione continues reading while Harry looks at the list. Most of the spells he knows were what he taught when he led the DA. Hermione had put behind those spells, charms and curses the one he learned them it was to improve the other girls and to cast as fast as Harry can and he is one of the fastest maybe even able to surpass Aurors like Kingsley and Tonks. Harry is a little embarrassed by Hermione's written praise not that Hermione notices.

After almost 5 minutes Hermione asks "Harry do you agree with the list?"

Harry says "yes although I think we need to find some spells that aren't in the Hogwarts curriculum as the Death Eaters would not expect us to know that kind of spells that can give us an advantage. It doesn't need to be dark or lethal but every spell they don't expect is an advantage we need to exploit if we want to have the best chance to survive. I also think we need to learn healing spells as the Death Eaters don't only use the killing charm. We need to find between all of us the best casters of healing charms. Maybe Andi and Alice can help train them. I don't know many healing charms and I think I don't even am good at them. Luna healed my nose and I can maybe close small cuts but for the harder and more complex healing charms I am not the right wizard."

Hermione stops reading and says "that is good ideas Harry, but I wouldn't underestimate you. You have a saving people thing, maybe that makes you proficient in healing charm not enough to be seen as a natural affinity but like Ragnok said that doesn't mean you can't be good in it."

Harry shrugs and asks "can you find other useful especially spells and charms maybe also curses we can use in battle? I will talk with Remus and Kingsley about an idea to practice and when if you can give me more."

Hermione nods and says "of course Harry. I think there may be a few more spells and/ or charms that could be helpful. If you want I can ask after Kreacher returns if he can get some books out of Grimmauld Place although they are maybe a bit dark. If we only use it against the Death Eaters I think nobody will think twice about using them as you did. Also, I think it is time we go look through Bellatrix's memories."

Harry says "if we need help with Black spells, especially for fighting I think Narcissa and Bellatrix could help. I know Bellatrix is only 17 but I think she already learned certain spells at her age."

Hermione nods and says "I think you are right. Why don't you go to Remus and Kingsley to make a plan also to my father to talk about training endurance."

Harry nods and says "sure."

11th January 1998, Potter Manor

Harry looks for Remus, Kingsley and Dan. He can't find them until Astoria in his mind says that she saw Remus being agitated outside his and Tonks's bedroom. Luna says in his mind that Kingsley is outside. But none had seen Dan.

Harry walks outside and there is Kingsley with Dan talking with Hagrid.

Hagrid sees Harry and says "Hey there Harry."

Harry says "hey Hagrid. How are Grawp and Fluffy?"

Hagrid smiles brightly and says "they are doin' fine. Grawp an' Fluffy come out Harry is here."

Grawp and Fluffy come out of the large barn and Fluffy immediately run to Harry. Fluffy smells him before he starts liking him. When Grawp is next to Harry Grawp says "Grawp happy to see Harry."

Harry says "I am happy to see you to Grawp and you of course Fluffy. Kingsley and Dan, I was actually looking for you."

Kingsley says "sure Harry, do you need me to do something?"

Harry says "actually yes. I got here a list of spells. As the girls are being stubborn that they want to fight with me Hermione thought that these were the spells that would be the best. She wants me to teach them to cast or cast faster. I thought you can help with training them and maybe have ideas for other spells. You and Tonks but I think Remus and Tonks are in their bedroom. I don't want to disturb them."

Dan says "ah yes I understand you don't want an angry pregnant woman being mad at you. Emma was a devil in the last few months when she was pregnant with Hermione. Let me give you one piece of advice Harry when one of your wives is pregnant, especially in the last months don't make them angry and if more than one is pregnant at the same time I wish you the best of luck."

Dan laughs and Kingsley can help but smile. Hagrid gives a big laugh. Harry knows how scary Hermione can be when she is angry, Astoria is the same although a bit less scary and Ginny can be even worse. He hopes the other wives aren't like that but knows that Daphne is probably the same as Hermione if not like Ginny.

Harry says "Merlin save me, Anyway, Dan I wanted to talk to you about endurance training improving our physical condition what the Death Eaters find to muggle for them."

Dan says "I think running while be best to start. I think especially the males should also do push-ups. Besides that, I think we should also do jumping jacks and sit-ups. What we also did was use beck to jump up and use the same bench to jump over to increase our speed even with obstacles, and obstacles course. It may be a good idea to do that."

Harry says "I think you should talk with Remus to do that. He did that for my third year when he was a DADA professor."

Dan says "now you say that I remember Hermione said something like that. I saw you running two days ago but I didn't see you yesterday or this morning."

Harry says "I did run a lot when I was at Hogwarts or with my relatives mostly in the morning. I couldn't do it when we were travelling as to not draw attention we never placed wards far away from the tent. Well, we did once as there was a water source close by but that was also the time we almost got caught. So we didn't after and I couldn't really run."

"I normally do it if I need to think or in that case something was bothering me although at my relatives was it to avoid my relatives as much as I could and at Hogwarts I had the room and was always up early as I was with my relatives. I could always order my thoughts when I run around the Black Lake I needed to do a lot because of a certain feeling."

Dan says "alright, I could say that you are quite fast but as you still need to grow because of the potions you will lose speed but I think we can regain your speed faster than with the others that start from scratch."

Harry says "All alright, although Katie and Ginny when she gets here played Quidditch and I did let them run around the Quidditch pitch sometimes during training."

Dan says "maybe it will help them to come to a satisfactory rate than some others as I do know that Hermione only did it in her youth until she was ten. She did it a couple of times then but stopped when she went to Hogwarts. She needs to start over."

Harry nods before Dan says "why don't we do a bit now. If you got time."

Harry says "sure I don't have anything right now. Let's say 15 minutes to meet here."

Dan says "sure I got some training clothes and Emma even bought some yesterday."

Harry says "yeah Hermione and the girls did the same for me."

11th January 1998, Heir's bedroom, Potter Manor

Harry had a rough and tiring afternoon. When Harry was sweaty and tired Dan was barely breaking a sweat. Harry asked him how he wasn't sweating. Dan says that it was just a warming up for the days when he was part of the SAS. Dan did complement Harry that he hold on that long. Kingsley had looked and was amazed as it was far more demanding than the physical test for Auror training even as a squad leader like him. Harry had walked inside to take a well-deserved nap.

11th January 1998, Potter Manor

Harry is woken up by Tarpy. Harry asks "Tarpy is dinner ready?"

Tarpy says "Tarpy is very sorry Master Harry no. Lord and Lady Longbottom request of you could join them when they talk to Madam Longbottom. They are waiting at the bottom of the stairs."

Harry cast tempus and see that he at least had a little over two hours of sleep and feels very rested. Harry says "tell them I will be down shortly let's say ten minutes."

Tarpy nods and bows before popping out.

Almost ten minutes later Harry has taken a quick shower like he knows how to do from his time with the Dursleys. When he walks downstairs he sees Frank and Alice standing whispering about something. Alice is facing Harry and has a worrisome face although that immediately disappears when she sees Harry.

Alice says "thank you, Lord Potter. Madam Longbottom wants to talk about our recovery and more."

Harry says "of course, Lady Longbottom. If you would lead the way to her chosen bedroom we can get this underway."

Alice and Frank nod before walking towards the bedroom while Harry follows.

11th January 1998, Madam Longbottom's bedroom, Potter Manor

It seems that Madam Longbottom took a bedroom on the first floor that was next to Frank and Alice's bedroom that in their case was close to the hospital wing by Andi's request.

Frank nods. They hear "enter."

They walk in and Harry immediately draws his wand to conjure two more chairs. He takes a seat as does Alice when Frank takes the remaining seat that was already in his room.

Harry says "Madam Longbottom. Lord and Lady Longbottom said that you have questions."

Augusta says "Lord Potter if you won't mind I prefer to use each other's first name we, after all, are long Allies and we aren't in public or anything where it is required."

Harry says "of course Madam Longbottom but while I don't mind you using my name I prefer to still call you Madam Longbottom."

Augusta smiles and says "you are very polite and know the proper respect so I will allow it, Harry."

Harry smiles. Frank says "you can call us Frank and Alice Harry if you prefer."

Harry says "as you are kind of my aunt and uncle I think I will."

Alice has a large smile.

Augusta smiles also. Augusta says "well thank you for meeting me, Harry. I heard from Frank and Alice a lot and despite Bellatrix having also healed them and even saved them from being killed I will try to act civil towards her and Narcissa, but excuse me if I don't say much if anything at all to them."

Harry says "Madam Longbottom I understand Bellatrix stunned my godfather Sirius Black which makes him fall into the Veil of Death practically killing him, but even though I brought her back with me will I could have let her suffer. Your experience was hard as was mine. I had trouble forgiving her but eventually, I did although Sirius in his will asked to save her from Tom whom we all call He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named as his fake made-up name is a Taboo. His real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle so we just call him Tom."

"Anyway, I understand if you don't want to talk to her and need time. If you want to walk freely and you encounter one of them all I ask is that you greet them and if they want to talk while you are not ready you politely decline. I hope eventually you can talk to them. I will not require to do that but a greeting and decline, if they want to talk, is I think the least to expect and require."

Augusta says although reluctantly "I think you are right Harry. About your ….. uuuhhhh multiple wives I expect you to treat them right."

Harry says "I try to do my best I hope that is enough for now. After Tom, I hope I have more time for them."

Augusta smiles and she says "great and here I thought this meeting was going to be hard."

Harry sees that the meeting is over and excuses himself.

11th January 1998, Potter Manor

Dinner was uneventful although Bellatrix looked troubled when he asked if something was wrong she said nothing was but he knew she lied but if she didn't want to tell him he is nothing going to force her.

Madam Longbottom on the other hand while she did her best was still having trouble and two of those obvious signs were the glare she gave Bellatrix during dinner and the distance between them not mentioning she sat next to Frank who sat next to Alice and she was able to defend them is Bellatrix would try something not that she would.

Harry was now in his bedroom and the feeling he had this morning something will happen soon was getting stronger and stronger. He is ready for bed when Luna and Astoria walk in. They already see Harry in bed and immediately cuddle up to him.

12th January 1998, wives' bedroom, Potter Manor

It was just after midnight when one small pop is heard in the wives' bedroom.

Hermione and Katie wake up to a voice saying "Mistress Katie?"

Katie says sleepily "yeah who is it?"

She looks and sees Kreacher. Kreacher says "Kreacher is sorry to wake Mistress Katie up but Kreacher and Dobby found Miss Leanne and Miss Leanne needs help."

Katie is immediately awake and asks a bit loudly what woke up Hermione completely "where is she? Can you bring her here? What kind of help? is Andi needed?"

Kreacher says "Miss Leanne is captured. Kreacher and Dobby tried to get to Miss Leanne but Kreacher and Dobby were spotted by bad wizards before Kreacher and Dobby could get to Miss Leanne."

Hermione asks "how is that possible Kreacher."

Kreacher says "Mistress Hermione bad wizards smelled Kreacher and Dobby."

Hermione asks "smelled?"

Kreacher says "yes, a bad wizard says to another bad wizard, do you smell what I smell. All the bad wizards said house-elves at the same time."

Hermione asks "how many wizards are there?"

Kreacher says "there are six bad wizards Kreacher and Dobby think."

Katie asks "Hermione what should we do. I can't leave Leanne behind."

Hermione says "you don't have to Katie. I wish I had another choice but as she is your friend he would do anything if it made you happy. We need Harry with his power and his ideas. Maybe this will help him be the leader I know he can be and needs to be."

Katie nods before she says "I think we need to wake Harry but also the others."

Hermione nods and says "yes, we do. I will kill Harry if he goes alone again."

Hermione tries to wake up Luna and Astoria so they can wake Harry up and keep an eye on him. Luna is the first that wakes up and Hermione thinks 'Luna wake Astoria up and then Harry up. Kreacher and Dobby know where Leanne is. Make sure Harry doesn't do the same when he came for you.'

Luna thinks 'alright Hermione. See you in the kitchen?'

Hermione agrees. She says "Katie you wake Susan, Narcissa and Bill and Fleur up. I will do the Ravenclaws including Parvati and Fay, my parents, Remus, and the Delacours. Ask Susan to wake her room, the Slytherins and the Longbottoms and Daphne and Astoria's parents. Kreacher can you wake up Hagrid and then wait in the kitchen?"

Kreacher bows before popping out.

Katie says "yes let's go I don't want to wait too long."

12th January 1998, the kitchen, Potter Manor

In less than 10 minutes everybody is in the kitchen. Luna is almost glued to Harry while Astoria hangs on his left arm. When he comes down as last in the kitchen he asks "Hermione can you ask them to let me go?"

Hermione says "no, I don't want you to do anything stupid again."

Harry says "I said I wouldn't again."

Hermione looks knowingly and says "you did but we both know that you would."

Harry sighs as he tries to take a seat at the head of the table. Astoria takes her seat like normal to his left and keeps holding his wrist while Luna sits on his lap. Even if he managed for Astoria to lose her grip he will still have Luna to think about. Harry knows he is defeated, he has no choice.

Harry sees Kreacher and says "Kreacher tell us what you know."

Kreacher nods and says "Kreacher and Dobby tried to find clues. Finally, Kreacher and Dobby found a track that Kreacher and Dobby followed. When Kreacher and Dobby find a track or clue Kreacher and Dobby can follow the lead even if they apparate somewhere else like Kreacher found bad Fletcher."

"Kreacher and Dobby found a cave. Kreacher and Dobby entered the cave. Kreacher and Dobby walked for a few minutes until Kreacher and Dobby saw a big chamber. Dobby saw Miss Leanne to the side. Miss Leanne is hurt but not life-threatening. Kreacher tried to distract bad wizards but the six bad wizards smelled us."

Remus says "they are werewolves."

Harry asks "are you sure Remus?"

Remus nods and says "yes if Kreacher and Dobby were smelled I think with the full moon tomorrow night it must be werewolves."

Harry nods and says "anything else Kreacher?"

Kreacher says "Kreacher heard bad wizards talked that today bad wizardwolf Greyback will pick Miss Leanne up to turn Miss Leanne."

Many people at the table gasp from shock except Remus as he growls. Greyback made him and now he is planning to turn another one that will hurt Leanne, that will hurt Katie and that will hurt Harry his cub.

Hermione says "we need to save Leanne."

Everybody agrees or nods. Hermione thinks 'Harry do you have a plan?'

Harry asks 'why Hermione?'

Hermione says 'because you are Lord Potter, we are in Potter Manor and she is a friend of Katie, Lady Potter. Also, I think you should lead us as you did with the DA I mean Dumbledore and Moody are gone. Kingsley and Remus don't seem to want to lead or aren't certain if you are just like the DA they will follow you.'

Harry thinks 'I don't think so. Kingsley or Remus can lead I am sure.'

Harry gets a headache when Hermione, Katie, Luna, Susan and Astoria all think at the same time like they are screaming 'NO, YOU SHOULD.'

Harry thinks 'alright I will try.'

Harry groans a bit as he feels the smug smile off his wives although when he looks at them none have it on their faces.

Harry raises his voice so everyone can hear him "I think we need to act soon we don't know when Greyback comes. Greyback can call for others with his Dark Mark and in a cave, we will be caught. I don't think the werewolves have a Dark Mark."

Remus says "no they don't have as Greyback only wants his pack to only be loyal to him even if Greyback has the Dark Mark. I also think Tom trusts his Dark Mark enough that as Greyback is 'loyal' to Tom his pack will too."

Kingsley says "most probably as he only need Greyback being part of his inner circle instead of Greyback and his entire pack."

Harry nods before he says "then we certainly need to act fast. I hope you will help me."

Everybody nod. Harry continues "alright. I think it is best if Remus, Kingsley, Bill and Fleur will go if all of you would like to help me. I will of course also come. I don't know if any other is good at fighting. Narcissa I know you were in your youth but I think it would be better if you stay here for now. I hope you understand."

Narcissa doesn't say anything but nods. She is afraid that her fighting skills are a bit rusty as being nothing more than a trophy wife for close to 20 years. Also, Harry is Lord Black so his word is the law.

Harry says "Dan I know you can but against werewolves, you are at a disadvantage maybe if we can get you silver daggers or a knife then if we go against werewolves you can help but not at this moment."

Dan says "I wouldn't have volunteered Harry. I need to brush up on the skills that I had when I was on active duty."

Jacob says "I think I can help, I am more diplomat than a fighter but I am alright with fighting. It is also to even out the sides."

Hermione says "I will come to Harry."

Harry says "no you will not."

Hermione looks beyond pissed off. Hermione says "what why not? I was one of the best in the DA you can use me."

Harry says "not this time."

Hermione says "but Harry I got my wand and I fought with you since the DA."

Harry says "not when I saved Luna, Katie, Fay and Penelope."

Hermione says "and who's fault is that."

Hagrid tries to ease the tension that is rising and says "I can help yeh also harry an' I am sure Grawp an' Fluffy wan' ter help too if yeh ask 'em."

Harry asks Kreacher "Kreacher does Grawp or Fluffy fit in the cave?"

Kreacher says "big dog Fluffy can. Kreacher thinks Grawp can if Grawp goes on Grawps knees."

Harry says "alright no Grawp then. Hagrid I think you should stay here. Grawp maybe becomes mad if you are not here. Remus, do you think it is a good idea to bring Fluffy?"

Remus says "I honestly don't know I never thought about how a Cerberus affect werewolves even though they aren't transformed. I think Fluffy can if Fluffy listens to you, Harry."

Harry says "we can't take the risk. Thank you, Hagrid but I think it is too soon at the moment."

Hagrid nods and says "alright. I think we need to make sure Fluffy will listen to you as he listens to me in the coming weeks."

Harry says "that is maybe a good idea but we can discuss that later."

Hagrid nods. Hermione however says "I want to go with you."

Astoria says "me too."

Harry says "no Hermione and you certainly not Astoria. Astoria you haven't been with the DA so I don't want to put you in danger without knowing how good you are. Hermione I don't want you to go. Our relationship like this is new. I think I will worry too much even more than I already did."

Hermione blush but still says "but Harry."

Harry says like a commander "no Hermione and that is final. I know I can't keep you out of the fight but I can keep you out of this one."

Hermione doesn't know why but she feels she must listen to Harry almost to the point she must obey.

Harry continues "also Hermione I want you to keep Katie company also Luna, Susan and Astoria I expect the same of you as I feel Katie's emotions."

Susan, Luna and Astoria nod. Hermione reluctantly nods after almost a minute.

Harry says "alright. Remus, Kingsley, Bill, Fleur and Jacob meet back here in 15 minutes so we can go. Andi can you make sure you are ready for the change we come back with wounds. Also, Leanne may need some dreamless sleep potion if not the others need to."

Andi says "I will make sure I have everything ready to treat wounds and make sure that several dreamless sleep potions are ready for Leanne and those that need to rest to recover."

Harry says "thank you, Andi. Now Luna if you would please get off my lap and Astoria you let go of my wrist."

Reluctantly they both do what Harry asks and he rushes upstairs followed by Remus, Kingsley, Bill and Fleur. Isabel grabs Jacob's wrist and says "Jacob are you sure. I didn't love you for your fighting skill."

Jacob says "I know Isabel but I think I can at least help try to help Harry after everything he has done for our daughter even if he did it unknowingly."

Isabel nods and says "be careful dear" before letting go of his wrist.

Andi asks "Alice can you help me get everything ready?"

Alice nods when Isabel says "I can help you to Andi. I may not be a healer but I know a couple of healing spells and I can take care of the lightly injured."

Andi nods when Luna suddenly says "they will be alright the Nargles tell me so although some will need some healing."

It raises the mood while decreasing the fear of all the people. Everyone waits for the others to come down.

12th January 1998, Entrance Hall, Potter Manor

When Hermione, Luna, Katie, Susan and Astoria feel Harry in the entrance hall. They stand up which makes everybody stand up and walk to the entrance hall. They see Harry talking with a goblin while the others are waiting as is Kreacher.

They hear the goblin says "yes Lord Potter."

Harry says "thank you" before walking to the others.

He gives his wives a snog that makes them all feel better except Hermione. Remus snog Tonks. Bill and Fleur are talking with the Delacours but as Bill looks confused they are talking in French. Isabel is snogging Jacob as she will never see him again.

Kingsley stands a bit to the side when Andi walks to him and gives him a big hug. She didn't plan to do it but when she stands before him she couldn't control herself. Tonks sees her mother letting go of Kingsley and smiles.

She thinks 'well, well, well what is going on between those two. I thought mom was a bit happier since we are here."

Harry asks "Kreacher can you take us outside the cave where the bad wizards don't notice us?"

Kreacher says "yes Master Harry."

Kreacher holds out his hand. Everyone holds onto Kreacher's hand as he pops out.

12th January 1998, unknown location

Harry manages to remain to stand although barely. Kreacher says "this way Master Harry."

They follow Kreacher and as soon as they walk past a few trees a large rock became visible with an opening. Dobby is watching the opening in a tree. When they stand at the tree line Dobby pops down and says "Dobby is happy to see Master Harry. Dobby hasn't seen bad wizards disappear and feels that they are still inside."

Harry says "Kreacher and Dobby you both did well. If you can place an anti-apparition and portkey ward. Kingsley, can you do the same?"

Dobby and Kreacher snap their fingers. Kingsley says "it is possible as soon as I cast it they feel it and attack."

Harry says "do it anyway. If they are werewolves, and Greyback is their Alpha they wouldn't hurt Leanne too much even if they feel the wards coming in place."

Kingsley nods and within two minutes it is in place.

Harry says "let's enter the cave. Remus, I want you upfront as you know when they can smell us."

Remus nod. Remus is in front followed by Fleur, Bill, Kingsley, Harry and lastly Jacob.

Let's end here for now. In the next chapter we see the fight between the werewolves to save Leanne, how Leanne was captured, how long will Madam Longbottom remain civil and more?

The next chapter can take a long time as I will go on vacation shortly until the end of July.

Please read and review. PMs are also greatly appreciated.
