Hermione shook her head: "Luna is fourteen, her birthday is five days after me on 24 of September. I admit we feel comfortable around her. What she said about dreaming of Malfoy's dungeon and Olivander struck a nerve with me. I agree with Daphne, that situation of this morning would never happen with Tracey or Parvati."
She shrugged: "There is one way to find out, Harry, you have to give Luna a snog."
I bit back: "No, Hermione, there are two other ways, one of you can give her a snog. Why would it have to be me?"
Daphne teased: "You are the only male? What can it hurt? She is only two months younger than you, you can ask Luna if she wants it first."
I grumbled: "Shouldn't you work on strengthening your bond? Some snogs? Cop a feel? A hand job? A blowjob?"
23 What do we do with Luna?
Hermione slapped my arm and said: "We can do that tonight, Harry. We better go over our courses so that we don't use OWL or NEWT spells. Silent casting is out too. We better not get caught doing spells we are not supposed to know."
I shrugged: "We can spend a few weeks in the library, and pretend to have learned them faster than normal due to the Soulbond. Wizards are gullible about that."
"We better set our bonding issues aside and concentrate on our courses." commented Daphne, "for the record, I am still not comfortable with snogging Hermione, I mean, I like you a lot Hermione, that I am sure of, but it is the physical stuff that scares me."
Hermione sighed: "It is new to me too, Daphne, having a relationship with a girl never crossed my mind... Actually, it did cross my mind once or twice out of curiosity, not that it would happen in real life."
I took my Transfiguration book out and said: "Safe that discussion for later. Let's start with changing that bird into a Guinea pig."

At lunch, the talk was about Moody and Snape and their replacements, several candidates were nominated, Slughorn and Andromeda Tonks for Potions, although someone mentioned that a squib can brew potions too. That comment got chills running down everyone's spine. For the defense post, there were no candidates, due to the curse.
Fleur followed our discussion and asked: "That curse does exist for real? We took this for a silly rumor to buff up the reputation of Hogwarts."
I asked: "How can a new Dada teacher every year buff up that reputation? I would think it tears it down." I explained, "For almost thirty years we have had a new teacher every year, so the ones we got now are morons or with a death wish. In our first year, we had one who was possessed by the Wraith of Voldemort, in our second year an author that claimed the achievements of others and obliviated them, in our third year we got a werewolf, who was actually a good teacher, and we had a Polyjuiced death eater this year. So not much to brag about, don't you think?"
Luna said dreamily: "The curse is gone, Harry, you destroyed it with the Basilisk venom."
Surprised, I looked at Luna and asked: "Are you sure, honey? We can only hope that it is true, maybe it is time to look for a decent one."
Wtf? Why did I call her honey? That is going to backfire someday. Going by the look at the present company, that day will be today.
Without missing a beat, Luna answered: "Yes dear, from next year on we will have competent teachers. Thank you for that."
That moment the doors slammed open and a bunch of Aurors streamed in, looked around, and made their way to me. I recognized Shacklebolt, Tonks, Dawlish, I did not recognize the fourth one.
Shacklebolt said: "Mr. Potter, Madam Bones asked you to confirm the claims you made to her when you talked to her. Are you willing?"
I nodded: "If you have memory vials, I will give copies of my memories. Does that satisfy you?"
Shacklebolt looked at his colleagues, all of them nodded affirmative, "That will do, Mr. Potter, do you know how to extract them?"
Hmm, I better play dumb: "No, I just heard about it in passing when a senior said he was going to owl a copy of his memory to his parents. Can you assist me?"
That got them the Troll, detention in the forbidden forest, Fluffy until and including the mirror with Voldy, Basi the Basilisk, freeing Dobby, Sirius in the shack, and me chasing a hundred Dementors away, and dear Fudge eager to let Sirius have a snog. That will do for now… oh I totally forgot! I called them back and gave them Aragog and his extended family, which will make them shit their pants.
Hermione asked: "Are you sure you got everything, Harry?"
Tonks could not help but ask: "You mean to say there is more?"
I thought for a bit and I said: "Yes there is, here is one more." that Fudge seemed to be doing something by arresting Hagrid, and that big lump telling us to follow those fucking spiders.
I grinned: "If I can think of something else, I will owl it to you Miss Pinky."
"Hey! I am on duty!" Tonks complained, "You can get arrested for harassment for name-calling, you know."
I shrugged: "I apologize, Miss Nymphadora Tonks, I didn't know that calling you by your hair color offended you, I will call you Miss Nymphadora from now on. Does that satisfy you, Miss Nymphadora?"
"It is Tonks! Call me Tonks! I hate my given name, so call me Tonks." she almost shouted.
"OK, don't get your knickers in a twist," I back paddled, "Tonks it is, but you look familiar to me, did we meet before?"
Dawlish interrupted: "Quit flirting, Tonks, we have to go."
The pink shifted through different colors and ended blood red "I am not flirting, Dawlish! That you are not able to get a girl says enough that you can't tell the difference!"
Shacklebolt closed his eyes and shook his head, "Zip it, the both of you, you are not exactly promoting our office." They left while Tonks and Dawlish were staring daggers at each other.
Hermione slapped my arm: "That was not nice of you, Harry, you almost got Tonks in trouble."
I grinned, "Once they view those memories, they will forget all about it."
Fleur asked: "Are those memories that special? How bad can it be?"
I looked at Hermione, she shrugged, I turned to Fleur and said: "Come to our quarters after dinner, I suggest to bring an extra pair of panties along. Some of my memories are a bit scary."
Fleur scoffed: "How can a little boy scare me, I witnessed a lot of scary events, Harry, I am not that easy to impress."
"You are going to regret saying that Fleur, how about we make a bet, I bet that you will scream at least two times when you see my memories. What do you say?" I offered.
Fleur smiled: "So, you think I will scream like a little girl, Harry? What are we betting for? No indecent demands, please. I get those enough without the bets."
"I need tutoring in French, so a week of tutoring for every scream. Name your conditions, no indecent ones please, I am taken." Hah! I turned that around, I have to protect my virtue after all.
Fleur thought for a minute: "Veela are looked down upon in Britain, I am planning to apply for a Job at Gringotts in London, I need a sponsor to take me in their House for protection against perverts."
Luna commented: "That is not a real bet, win or lose, you are going to do that anyway."
I smiled at Luna: "I suppose we will, Luna, but it is still fun to find out who will win the bet."
Xxxxx
After dinner, our group expanded with Tracey and Astoria, they were curious too. Dobby got the Potter Pensive, yep, the one from Dumbledore's office, I put the first memory in, the Troll.
"This is a warm-up, Fleur, just an event from our first year. Sit down and put your finger in, everyone."
Well, Tracey and Astoria are screamers, and Fleur had to bite her tongue to prevent it, Daphne had my arm in a vice grip, and Luna the other one. I skipped the Detention in the Forest, and presented Fluffy, Astoria screamed at Fluffy and made comments that the rest of the tasks were not that impressive. She and Tracey screamed when they saw Voldemort's face sticking out of Quirrel's head and turning into dust. Fleur was biting her fist to keep her screams in when I dusted Voldy, suddenly she wasn't sure to win that bet anymore.
Aragog made her scream for the first time, entering an Acromantula lair, and escaping alive is an achievement, this time Daphne joined the screams. Astoria was a nervous wreck by now, and I bet Tracey peed her panty already.
When I added Basi, the Basilisk in the Pensive, was the first time I kept Astoria out: "Trust me Astoria, you will have nightmares when you see this memory, the spiders are lame compared with this one."
Astoria paled: "It gets worse than those Acromantula? How in Morgana's name is that possible? Harry! You almost got eaten by them! Who in their right mind would tell you to talk to them! This is pure madness!"
We entered the memory, from the moment Fraudhart took Ron's wand until I stabbed the diary. Tracey and Fleur got into the high notes, and were hoarse from screaming, so were Daphne, Luna, and even Hermione.
When we came out the Pensive I asked: "And? Are your knickers dry?"
Luna shook her head: "There is no doubt that I am going to have nightmares, Harry. Seeing the corps or seeing how it hunted you down is completely different. I will pass on the rest of your memories. Your head is not a fun place to be in. I need a shower and clean panties. Astoria, do you need one too?" Astoria nodded and followed Luna into her room.
Tracey shivered: "Luna nailed it, Potter, your head is not a fun place to be in. Daphne, can I borrow a fresh pair of panties?"
Fleur sighed: "I can use some too, but do you have more memories, Harry?"
"Just one more with Dementors, Fleur. We could stop now if you want, I think all the girls are shaken to the core, I can assume I won the bet?" I asked.
"Yes you won, Harry, this school is a madhouse. Hermione? Can I take a shower before I change my clothes?" Asked Fleur. Hermione nodded and stood up.
When Fleur came back from her shower, in Hermione's clothes, I said: "I will take you in House Potter protection, Fleur. I consider you a friend, and sponsoring you is no problem at all. This weekend Gringotts representatives and Mr. Greengrass, a member of the Wizengamot will be visiting us to render that Basilisk. I will ask what procedures I have to follow, to take you in."
Fleur hugged me: "Thank you, Harry. I already made inquiries, there are four options to choose from, you can make me a wife, a Consort, a Concubine, or a Ward. I was hoping you could make me a Ward of House Potter. It needs to be confirmed at Gringotts and the Ministry before the Tournament is over."
I smiled: "I will be honored to have you as my Ward, Fleur. I am still kicking your lovely butt in the Tournament though."
Astoria complained: "I am going to have nightmares for weeks! Daph? Can I sleep with you?"
"Hey! I was going to ask that too! There is no way that I am returning to my room alone!" shouted Tracey, "How Potter can sleep at all I don't understand! That bloody snake was huge!"
Daphne said thoughtfully: "Tracey, I share my bed with Harry and Hermione, last night Luna slept with us, the bed isn't big enough for all."
"I am not asking to sleep with that disaster magnet!… wait a minute! To bunk with you he has to be included? What about Story? Does she have to share the bed with your husband too?" asked a wide-eyed Tracey.
"No, she doesn't," I interrupted before they let their imagination run wild. "Daphne, you can bunk with Astoria and Tracey, if you want, they are clearly against joining in our bed."
"But Tracey is always kicking me out of bed." complained Daphne "And Story is a hugger."
Fleur offered: "I don't mind sharing a bed with them, sleeping alone doesn't appeal to me right now."
"Dobby? Can you bring six Calming Draughts, please? Girls, drink up, that will reduce the nightmares." I said.
I had to do some damage control, or they would wake up screaming. Showing all those memories was a bit overkill, I admit, I was too cocky to impress Fleur. If you play all those memories in a row, then you realize there was something very wrong in Hogwarts.
Hermione looked at me and asked; "What do we do with Luna?"
I shrugged: "Same as yesterday, I suppose, what do you think, Luna?"
Daphne chuckled: "Don't ask, Harry, she is already in our bed."

I don't know who started the rumor, but word got around that I slept with six girls last night, one of them a second-year, and one a seventh-year Veela. Some naffer saw us leaving our quarters and heard the girls complaining about a rough night and the loss of sleep. Worse, Potter was a maniac, and fighting that big snake was giving them nightmares.
It was annoying to see first and second-year girls make a run for it when they saw me coming, third and fourth-year girls were looking at my crotch every time I passed them, the older girls made rude comments. The males? Half were hating me, the other half were admiring me. I wanted to bash my head against a wall.
Fleur shook it off and commented: "It could be worse, Harry, if all of us were walking with a limp. That would make their tongues get in action."
Luna picked up on it and added: "Or complaining that Tracey was kicking all the time, that would send the wrong message too."
I groaned: "Don't say that out loud, Luna, it is bad enough already."
We got distracted by the owls that delivered the newspaper.
The Daily Trash reported:
Sirius Black Innocent!
Dear readers! You will be as shocked as we are after reading this report! We all know what happened that fateful night on Samhain in 81, or what we were supposed to make believe what happened!
After questioning the Boy Who Lived, Madam Bones came to the conclusion that there was a big miscarriage of Justice done to Sirius Black. With the body of Peter Pettigrew as evidence and the statement of the Boy Who Lived, Madam Bones investigated Sirius' Black Case again.
It turned out Sirius Black never got a trial! Without even questioning him, Mr. Black was shipped off to Azkaban on the same day of his capture. It was signed off by the former Minister Bagnold, the Head of DMLE at that time Barty Crouch, and the current Chief Warlock Dumbledore. Why was Sirius Black put in Azkaban without a trial? Even Bellatrix Lestrange got a trial!
Sirius Black, at that time, was a reputed Auror, and a good friend of Dumbledore, so why was he treated so badly by his own kind?
It got worse, dear readers, Sirius Black escaped when he found out Pettigrew was posing as a pet rat in the same dorm room as the Boy Who Lived, which made him escape Azkaban on a mission to save his Sworn Godson from danger.
Sirius Black managed to capture the rat, but not for long, Pettigrew escaped and Sirius Black was taken prisoner at Hogwarts.
Now it gets sinister, dear readers, Black was locked up in Hogwarts, and Dumbledore was notified of the situation by Black and the Boy Who Lived, who witnessed it all. Instead of calling the DMLE as is the Law, Fudge, who was for some obscure reason at Hogwarts, called a Dementor and wanted to administer the Kiss to Black. WHY? Why was Fudge so eager to have Black kissed? Why was Dumbledore allowing it? Black managed to escape, with the help of his Godson. But Dumbledore could have easily stopped Fudge and demanded a trial for Black. According to the Boy Who Lived, with Black out of the way, the Black fortune would go to a sponsor of the Minister. Dumbledore, who took the guardianship away from Black would have lost control over the Boy Who Lived, the boy who is currently trapped in a deadly Tournament meant for adult Wizards.
Such intrigues on the highest level, such treason, such abuse of power, such corruption. It is unheard of.
We trust that Madam Bones will sort it out and clean the Ministry of these stains on our society.

"I bet Madam Bones has Skeeter on a leash. Although I wish they stopped with calling me the Boy Who Lived." I commented.
"Sirius can have his trial now, I bet this is an open invitation to turn himself in and get a trial. With Dumbledore in St Mungo's and Fudge embarrassed, it is an opportunity to get free," said Hermione.
The doors slammed open again, and my four favorite Aurors barged in again. Shacklebolt asked: "Mr. Potter, Madam Bones wants to know if you can contact Sirius Black for us."
Ah! I remember this from Sinyk! With a smug face, I asked: "Did you try to send him an owl? No? Maybe send a House elf? Oh! I got it! Send a Patronus! That will do it for sure! If that doesn't work put an ad in the paper. Hey Pinky, Purple, White, Black, Red… stop changing Tonks, you suck the fun out of it that way."
"I am on duty, brat! Don't give me a reason to arrest you for taking liberties at an Auror on Duty!" she bit back.
I held my hand up and said: "Hold your Centaurs, Cousin Nymphadora, I am just trying to be friendly with my cousin, or is it Aunty?"
Shacklebolt put a hand on Tonks and interrupted: "Madam Bones assigned Auror Tonks as a guard for the duration of the Tournament. We contacted Deputy Headmistress McGonagall to arrange quarters close to yours."
She is going to babysit me? She is a total babe, with shitty taste in men… she better not start drooling over me, I have enough with my two Soul mates and a potential third one. I guess two or three more nights are needed to put these memories behind them before we can move on. Luna was doing a koala last night, she was glued at my back, and wouldn't let go until morning, I should have stopped after the Acromantula.
Shacklebolt said: "Madam Bones want to have a meeting with you on the weekend, about house business and the memories you showed."
"I have an appointment with my bond mate's parents on Saturday," I explained, "Madam Bones is welcome to attend that meeting, part of that meeting is about the events that happened in those memories."
Hermione put a question forward: "Could it be possible to get some retired Auror to teach Dada with some Auror cadets as assistants? They could make it a rotation, we are pretty sure that we removed the Curse on the Dada position."
Daphne nodded: "They can rename the course and teach it in a different classroom to make sure."
The old Auror, whose name I can't remember, commented: "That is actually a good idea, teaching students is a good way to rehearse the curriculum. Renaming the course and relocating the classroom can break the curse. We will put that proposition on Madam Bones' desk."
Shacklebolt added: "I will talk to Professor McGonagall, we can not go over her head with this, although she will be glad with this solution."
Tonks sighed and sat next to us at the table: "It looks like I am stuck with you until June that sucks."
Hermione offered: "We can give you a room in our quarters, or you can ask Professor McGonagall for private quarters nearby. It depends on how close you want to guard Harry."
"Private quarters if I have a choice," said Tonks, "I outgrew teenage drama, and am not eager to live through it again. I bet you guys want some privacy too."
Fleur smiled: "I like her, she acknowledged that you need privacy, most bodyguards just want to sit in a small room on top of their charges to keep them safe."
Tonks grumbled: "That thought crossed my mind when I heard of my assignment. But being in the same room as that cheeky brat doesn't appeal to me at all."
Xxxxx
That evening, Tonks got the apartment next door to us, we made a deal with her to get along. I proposed: "We install alert runes at our door here that you can monitor when we are inside, it will alert you when there are visitors and even when they have bad intentions. We have some friends keyed to our quarters, when others are visiting you may come into our room to keep an eye on things. How does that sound?"
Tonks asked: "How about I put a listening charm in your common room? That way I can react on a moment's notice."
Luna said: "That is very kinky of you, Auror Tonks. Are you that curious to hear Harry snog with his wives? I heard Daddy tell Mommy that every room has to be blessed at least once, recently I found out what they were talking about. I expect Harry will do the same, I hope I can watch it."
That comment made Hermione answer: "You can, Luna, snogging Harry in every room sounds interesting." she said with a teasing smile.
Tonks shook her head: "Call me when you go out." and went to unpack her stuff.
Daphne smiled: "It will be fun teasing Tonks like this. Come, let's do our homework first."
Astoria and Tracey spent the evening in our quarters again, their excuse of bad dreams is paper-thin, the dust hasn't settled yet in Slytherin house, and Astoria and Tracey rented their rooms out to classmates, the wards that I made could not be breached and made it a safe spot against predators.
Astoria placed her sideways on my lap, put her arms around me, and made puppy eyes: "Brother-in-law? Can you make some more of those wardstones? I can't promise you a firstborn, but I will be the very best Aunt for your children."
I sighed: "I bet your father is a sucker for those puppy eyes too. Alright, I will take another approach, instead of the rooms, I will make something for the hallways… get off my lap, please? Thank you."
It took four hours to carve the Runes, when I was almost done, I said: "Can someone get one of the upper years so I can explain where and how to set these up?"
Tracey returned with Diana Withley, I started explaining: "These ward stones have to be placed at the start of the female section of your dorms. A yard into the hallway, in the four corners against the wall. They will activate when you place them with the sticking charm against the wall."
I grinned: "What these wards do is let every female pass through, the males, however, will be judged on their intention. They can pass if they want to visit their girlfriend for a snog or something more, if they have bad intentions, they get punished on the magnitude of their ill intent. Either way, their passage will be blocked. There you go, Miss Withley, you can sleep undisturbed now."
Withley asked suspiciously: "What do you want in return, Mr. Potter? There is no free meal in this world."
I shrugged: "I would say you firstborn, but I heard Slytherins won't find that comment funny. No, seriously, it is just to keep my sister-in-law and Tracey safe."
And neuter the snakes, they have to be brought down a peg or two. Draco was timid to me this week, squibbing his Godfather shook him up, but that didn't stop him from harassing the women in his dorm.
Withley nodded: "We won't forget this, Mr. Potter, you made some friends in Slytherin house."
I smiled at her: "Good, I always wanted more of those, you are welcome to pay a visit whenever you want, Miss Withley."
She hurried out to install them, she hadn't had a good night's sleep in days, the poor thing. Astoria sat on my lap again and made puppy eyes. I frowned and asked: "Now, those puppy eyes making me worried, sister-in-law, you know I am not Santa, or whatever the Wizard equivalent of that man is."
Astoria asked with a pouty face: "I want to sleep with Daphne tonight, it was forever ago that I slept with Daphy, can I?"
I took Astoria's chin and turned her head to Daphne: "Ask your sister, I can not tell her what to do."
Daphne was armed against puppy eyes and answered: "Astoria, Hermione, and I need to spend the night with Harry to strengthen our Soul bond, with Luna that makes four, our bed is full, and I doubt you want to sleep with Harry in your bed."
Hey! Don't reject that right away! Talk it over! Crap this is deja vu! This situation is familiar, wife in front of me and sister-in-law on my lap… that is how it started in my old life! In a few years, she will start grinding her pussy against Little Dude, and a few years later I got a divorce. Bad idea!
I slapped Astoria's ass and said: "There you have it, our bed is full."
Dobby popped in: "Master Harry, Dobby made the bed bigger! Did Dobby do good?"
That is debatable, Tracey's eyes started to shine, she said: "We can have a slumber party! You did good Dobby! Make it a bit bigger if you will please."
Hermione who was reading the book where I got the major part of my wards from looked up and said: "I never had one of those, tomorrow is Saturday, so we can sleep in a bit. Let's have one!"
Astoria was enthusiastic: "We can have breakfast in bed!"
Yeah, bad idea, I did that once with the wife, first she was mad that I woke her up, then she got angry that I used the wrong glass for her juice, so it tumbled over and spilled on our sheets. To top it all, the bed was full of crumbs. She grumbled all day because she had to wash the sheets. Needless to say, that was the last time I made her breakfast in bed. The bitch complained later on that I never did something romantic for her, can you believe that? Ah, I have Dobby here, we can spill all we want.
I got wedged between Hermione and Daphne wearing my PJs, Astoria was next to Daphne, Tracey followed. Luna lay next to Hermione, all of them wearing thick nightgowns… after a few minutes, I asked: "So… What happens on those Slumber parties? I've never been on one of those."
Tracey answered: "Lots of things, we talk about boys, we play games, we sing songs."
"Great, count me out for the singing though, I can clear a hall in five minutes with my songs, and I can't keep a tune to save my life. Singing and dancing are the two skills I lack." I warned them.
Hermione asked: "I never heard you sing, Harry. Who told you that you can't keep a tune? Never mind, let's do a truth or dare, who wants to go first?"
Luna: "Me! Truth please!"
Astoria asked: "Did you have sex with Harry?"
Luna shook her head: "Not yet. Now you, Astoria, name two or more boys you have a crush on."
Astoria answered: "The Boy Who Lived, of course, Blaise Zabini is dreamy, and Bruce Wilkinson from Hufflepuff's third year is a hunk. Tracey? Who do you have a crush on?"
Tracey shrugged: "Daphne, and I am starting to like Hermione too. Hermione, it is your turn, when are you planning to shag Harry?"
Hermione was stunned for a moment, Tracey was a lesbian? Crushing on her? She came to her senses and answered: "I don't know yet, we have a three-way bond and every connection must be equal in strength. Luna? Do you have a Soul connection with Harry too?"
Luna froze up, after hesitating a bit she answered: "I don't know, but I very much want one. Daphne?"
Daphne held her hand up and said: "I'll take a dare, Luna."
Luna smiled and said: "Kiss Tracey, with tongue."
Daphne asked: "Of all the things you could demand, you pick this, why Luna?"
Luna answered: "Because Tracey loves you, Daphne, while you are starting a Soulbond with Harry and Hermione, she deserves it and I think it will look hot to watch it."
Daphne got closer to Tracey and smiled: "Relax, Tracey, you know that I like you too, come here for that snog."
A minute later they came up for air, Daphne looked at me and said: "Snog Luna, Harry, we need to know if she has a Soulbond with us."
I looked at Luna and said: "I am curious too, come honey, let's find out."
Luna jumped into my arms and locked lips with me, sure enough, there was the glow, with wide eyes, Tracey and Astoria were looking at the silver dome covering us four. Luna got passed to Hermione and after to Daphne. Making it a four-way bond. ROB is laughing his ass off.
Xxxxx
Well, there were some boundaries that came crashing down, after that snog between me and Luna, with wandering hands, the brakes were off. Astoria got some eyes full when Hermione went down on Daphne, and Daphne returned the favor. Luna said the connection was equal between us, we only have to work to strengthen the bonds with her. After that, we cooled down and played some cards. With a second year in the room, we had to keep it R15.
Breakfast in bed was fun until it was time to get ready to meet the parents.
