Chapter 10

"What was that all about, Tonks? And how did you find me?" Harry asked.

"Amelia's secretary cast a tracking charm on you. I was sent to follow you and find out if you had nothing to do with the attack at the Hogwarts." Tonks replied.

"And the sex? That outfit screamed seduction." Harry complained.

"Well, you make a great bed notch. After all, I can now brag, I bedded the boy who lived," Tonks said with pride to which Harry groaned. "Amelia had some follow-up questions about Granger."

Harry looked at his shoes, frowning. "What questions?"

"Why were you not surprised when it came out, what she did? Why did you look so sad when it was announced she was dead?" Tonks asked.

"We became lovers. Well, let's start over. I found out that she was working with Dumbledore and the youngest Weasley. During our first year, she was trapped in a girl's bathroom with a mountain troll. It was trying to kill her. Then when I figured out she was in on the plot to kill me, I called in the life debt. She was very forthcoming at that point," Harry said.

"There was a plot to kill you? Involving Albus Dumbledore and Ginevra Weasley?" Tonks demanded.

"Yes. When Albus sealed my parents' will, he got the Wizengamot to make him my magical guardian. He and Molly then stuck me in a betrothal contract with Ginny. That happened three days after my parents were dead. The contract said that if I died before we were married, and had a child, Ginny would be in charge of the trust of all the Potter wealth and assets. The Potter Wizengamot seat would be controlled by Albus. However, if the baby and mother should die before the baby was at his or her majority, Albus would receive all my wealth and assets. Want to bet that neither the mom nor child would have lasted long after the birth?" Harry asked.

"I don't believe it. Albus is the leader of the light," Tonks complained.

"If we go back into the bathroom, I can expand my trunk and give you a copy. Or if you need something more official, I can get out a quill and parchment and give you a note authorizing Gringotts to give you an official copy as well as a copy of my parent's will," Harry said. Tonks was so stunned, that Harry was able to create the parchment before she spoke again.

"Is there any more?" Tonks asked dreading his answer.

"Oh yes. Hermione came up with the formula for the fertility potion Ginny was on. She even brews it for her. If a Slythern hadn't cursed me so I am shooting blanks, she would have been pregnant before the first task," Harry said.

"Just for the records, you consummated the contract before the first task?"

"Oh, no. Though if it wasn't for the curse, she still would have been pregnant," Harry said.

"Explain?" Tonks said, cautiously.

"Ginny wanted to be a virtual virgin when she eventually married a pureblood. Hermione came up with a way to do that, before the first task. One or both of them created a Gloryhole in Myrtle's bathroom. Hermione slipped me a potion to increase my seed output. Then sent me to the hole. Ginny was naked on the other side. She used her hands and mouth to get me off. Because of that potion, she swallowed some but was covered by a lot of my seed. She then used her hands to wipe it off her body and push it into her quim. Someone, probably a Slytherin had found the hole and put a sticking charm on it. Since I wasn't satisfied with the first round I asked for a second, and she said yes. So I pulled her head to the hole and used her mouth and throat. She never pounded on the wall like Hermione told me she would if she wanted me to stop. I also checked in with her a few times but the wall was pounded to continue. After I was done, I went to my dorm room. Outside the bathroom were the few remaining Slytherin males and quite a few males from Durmstrang including their headmaster and Krum. Then went in. Between me on the potion and all the others, she looked like she was pregnant. This got her sent to Madam Pomfrey the next day. Before you ask, she had asked Hermione for a potion so she couldn't throw up. Madam Pomfrey did the charm and said she was not pregnant. She then demanded that Pomfrey stop the first task," Harry said with a laugh.

"That is so fucked up in so many ways. I hesitate to ask if there is more to the story." Tonks asked.

"Of course, we always have the rest of the story. I would not kiss her after that. I caught her saying that she was glad the purebloods fed her seed so it would wipe the mud taste from her mouth. I figured to end the relationship, but I was being badgered by Dumbledore to give her a second chance."

"I do have to give an aside. Dumbledore did not know I knew about the contract. I never told him or Ginny I knew. To get him off my back, I gave Ginny an ultimatum. Either she gave it up to me before the second task, or we were through. This pissed her off. She did not know how I was able to throw off her mother's potions. You see, for years Molly with the headmaster's help, had been trying to drug me with love, lust, and loyalty potions."

"That was the time I called in my life debt. I also found that Dumbledore had a curse on one of Hermione's books. It would have been a painful death. I asked Hermione to search for Ginny's things. She found Ginny had stolen one of her tampons. Then had filled it with acromantula venom, the same venom that would both poison her and cause all her body but her bones to liquidify. Hermione felt that once I was dead, Ginny would have returned the tampon. You can imagine what that would have done to Hermione once she used it," Harry said.

"That is so sick. How could Ginny Weasley be that cruel?" Tonks said with some heat.

"I don't know. Since the tampon was stolen from a box Hermione had when she started the school year, not the ones her mom sent her as care packages each month, I have no clue," Harry said with a shrug.

"Did Ginny ever give in to your demand? And I am not happy with that demand, just to let you know," Tonks stated glaring at Harry.

"If it was a normal girl, I would agree with you. But it was Ginny. She had asked Hermione to come up with a way that when I was sent to the graveyard, I would feel the pain of the cruciatus curse before I died. She also requested a lotion that, when exposed to water, would make my skin feel like it was in boiling oil. She intended to use that lotion on me before the second task. Just in case you missed the breadcrumbs, Dumbledore had told both Hermione and Ginny all about the tri-wizard tournament tasks, and at the end of the third task, I would wind up in a graveyard." Harry had to smirk at this, Tonks was visibly stunned.

"Now, back to your question, yes she did. But since Hermione was free of Ginny's influence and still pissed at the tampon, well she added her two knuts in. Hermione told me a couple of things, but I do not know if they were true. First, she said that Ginny told people I orally raped her. Then she bragged about pleasing so many boys and men behind my back. She was telling everyone at the Gryffindor table that I was smaller than the sausages they had for breakfast. That I did confirm. Hermione gave Ginny the lubricant. I am sure you read what it did. She gave me a stamina potion as well as a potion that tripled my size to sixty-three by twenty-one centimeters. Hermione made sure that the antidote I took that day stopped everything but Molly's lust potion that was of course keyed to Ginny. That was two days before the second task. I did not know until Hermione told me later, that the stamina potion would give any girl who received my seed a false positive to a pregnancy detection charm for a week," Harry finished.

"So why did you bugger her?" Tonks asked. This whole thing was a nightmare, both legally and morally.

"I found out she was wearing a buttplug, and not knowing if I would ever get a second chance with her or her arse. Plus she never showed any reluctance or said stop or anything like that. And per Ginny's orders, we did the normal sex doggy style then she collapsed on the bed. She nodded her head when I played with her arse. Almost like what you did in the bathroom," Harry said causing Tonks to blush so badly that even her hair turned pink.

"I have never heard of two events which are so totally fucked up. It is if, Hermione, or Hermione and a Slytherin were setting this up so you are just on the line of legal sex. One millimeter more, and I could arrest you for rape. I assume you know who the Slytherin was that cursed you?" Tonks stated.

"No, Hermione told me after a study session with Millicent Bulstrode and Daphne Greengrass. I assume it was either or both of those ladies," Harry said. "Also, how close to the line would I be if mine and Ginny's blood status were different?"

"Well, there is not enough information to even investigate them. If this didn't happen at Hogwarts and the two weren't dead, I think this conversation would be enough to stick Ginny in Azkaban for at least twenty years while Hermione would have a life sentence," Tonks stated. She then gave Harry the evil eye. "I should arrest you for aiding and abetting. You already know the answer to your last question."

"Hermione told me all this the last time I saw her. I was in total bodybind, and she was walking out the door of the classroom. She also apologized for trying to do me harm, forgave me for calling in the life debt, which I had already canceled, and told me to get revenge against Dumbledore for her. She told me how Dumbledore and McGonagall had used programming as well as spells and potions to get her to feel she had to help kill me for the greater good. Including stating that there is a prophecy about me and how I was to fight Voldemort, die, and thereby allow Dumbledore to kill him. Thereby making Dumbledore as famous and powerful as Merlin," Harry said.

"You didn't immediately tell the teachers or the Aurors?"

"Why, I know both you and Shacklebolt are orders of the Phoenix. Considering McGonagall, which teacher could I trust?" Harry asked.

"I left the order, squirt. Unfortunately, you were right, you couldn't trust anyone. Now, the final question, why France?"

"That is both easy and complicated. The Delacour family demanded to see me as soon as school let out. I am to meet him as soon as this ferry docks at the Café du Port. He will then take me from Cherbourg to Southern France where they live."

Tonks shook her head. "Did you trust anyone at Hogwarts?"

"Oh hell no. Are you fucking, joking? Everyone there involved me in some form of plot. I couldn't trust any of them. Hell. You are no different. You shagged me so that you could brag about shagging the boy who lived and to get me mellow enough you could pump me for information."

Tonks blushed again. The boy was right. She was no different than what the people did at the castle. She was ashamed. She had done the same thing. "I am sorry Harry. I truly am. I just felt that with all the stress you were under, you could use a release. Please forgive me." Tonks whined.

"I will forgive you if you promise to be honest with me and tell me what Amelia wanted you to find out," Harry said.

Tonks was mortified. Harry had known all along. It was time to come clean. "Amelia wanted to see if you were one of the two terrorists that have been attacking Magical Britain. Amelia has only released this to me. All the attacks have two magical signatures. The same two no matter who was attacked. You see, Amelia thinks you would be one of the group since they attacked the pureblood elite, death eaters, and the order of the Phoenix members. And if you weren't you might know who they were. Given what you said about Hogwarts, you couldn't trust anyone enough to do the terrorist act."

"Tonks, Tonks, Tonks. Amelia is correct. My galleons are going to support those attacks and the exodus of the non-purebloods from magical Britain. Since the Wizengamot made it legal to financially support terrorist groups like the Death Eaters and the Order, the same laws protect me. You can tell her I fervently support that terrorist. Until magical Britain eliminates all the biased laws and conditions where nice girls like Susan Bones can be raped by a pureblood and she cannot curse the bastard into a grave without spending life in your replacement for Azkaban; I will continue my support," Harry said.

Tonks drooped her head. She knew Harry was correct. When rape of a pureblood could result in life in Azkaban where the rape of Susan was only a maximum fine of five hundred galleons and the rape of Granger would only top one hundred. Magical Britain didn't deserve anything. "I am sorry, Harry."

"There is nothing to be sorry about. The stupid bigotry is as much to blame for the loss of my parents as the wizard that killed them. I have only one more year. Next year I take my OWLS. After that, I am leaving for good. You can all rot in the cesspool of your own making." With that, he got up and walked off.

"Bonjour Mister Delacour."

"Hello, Mister Potter. I think that to speed things along it should just be Jacques and Harry, Oui?"

"If you insist," Harry replied. They remained silent until the coffee was delivered.

"You wanted to talk before we go to your home. What did you want to talk about?" Harry asked.

"Many things. The first is what do you know about Veela?"

"No much, females that can change like an image to a bird form. They can also throw fire from their hands and supposedly have an attraction aura."

"That is pretty much the common knowledge. Why did you say, supposedly?"

"Almost all of the guys and some girls at Hogwarts acted strangely around your daughter. I just thought it was because she is very beautiful."

"You never felt any pull, any desire?"

"No more than a male teenager. As I said, your daughter is quite beautiful. During the ending feast, I saw her on the dais, but was kept from her." This caused Jacques to laugh.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No, you said something very right. It seems you are immune to the allure. The aura all Veela have."

"I thought Fleur was only one quarter?"

"Non. Veela traits breed true. Fleur has all the abilities of her mom. Gabrielle Le will have her full powers when she comes of age. Now, Harry, what do you know about life debts."

"That at times where you save another wizard or witch, at your peril; both of your magics can force the person to pay off that debt."

"Simplistic but again accurate. I heard that you saved a girl from a troll, the first year you were at Hogwarts. You could have made her your slave. Or just smile at you whenever she sees you. It is powerful old magic."

"I have a question. What would happen if I did make that girl my slave, and she had been manipulated into a magically binding contract that cross purposes?" Harry asked.

"I am not sure. There is no way to test it. In my opinion though, eventually one or the other would kill her. She would only remain alive as long as any action done for either was justified enough to the other bond. Why?"

"Hermione, the girl I saved from the troll, did not seem to mind when I called in the debt. I made her my slave. She then told me how she was manipulated and potioned to take an unbreakable vow to help Dumbledore manipulate and eventually kill me. I put her under the three laws." This stunned Jacques.

"She was the one that killed all the Hogwarts teachers?"

"Yes. But the reason she did that had nothing to do with the life debt or vow. Her magical guardian signed her into a betrothal contract. That contract made her a concubine to a Triad brothel owner in Thailand. It also permanently bound her magic."

"That is sick. How could her magical guardian do something like that? Who is her magical guardian?'

"It was one of the teachers that died. From how pale you are looking there is more than the fact of putting her into sexual slavery." Harry needed to know.

"Oui. Once the binding started, the vow and the life debt would painfully kill her. It would likely be worse than the unforgivable."

"Damn. She was the smartest witch in the school. I would say, she knew. That is why she got her revenge and ensured she died quickly before the binding went into effect."

"I cannot fault her."

"Nor can me. I am just glad that I made sure the Triad knew who the end user of the bride price was. They want ten times back.

"Hogwarts is not the shining beacon, Dumbledore and the British say it is?" Jacques asked.

"Hardly. Sorry to go off on this tangent. Despite she had been tricked into trying to kill me, she became my friend. I was falling in love with her."

Ah, amour. That makes it worse. But I did not bring you here to talk about your vendetta. I can see if you knew how your actions affected my daughters."

"I know I saved their lives. But it was to help my vendetta as you called it. That should not have created any issues. I am not sure I even have a life debt, in Fleur's case." Harry replied.

"If they were not Veela; I think that is true. Killing of the other competitors has been a prior part of the tri-wizard tournament. Because they are Veela, they did not form a normal life debt. Their debt is all mixed up with a more and la baise. Are you betrothed or married, Lord Potter?"

"No, I have a girlfriend and two lordships."

"To save my daughters from their nature, I need to beg a favor or two."

"I will do anything to help if I can. And it does not affect my relationship to my girlfriend." Harry replied with some heat.

"That is even easier. I was going to ask you to take Fleur as one of your wives. Then take my Gabrielle le as a consort with a line continuation contract." Jacques asked.

"Why?" Harry asked with some alarm.

"Well, because they are Veela, they owe you a life debt. This is the most honorable way to accept it."

"This is too much. Tell them thank you, I am flattered, but..." Harry said.

"If you do not, the life debt will kill them. If you take another form of payment, I will have you killed. Comprendre?" Jacques asked.

"Why?" Harry asked, trying to see if he could run.

"Because I love my family. I love my daughters. Once you are with them, you will learn that being with a Veela is exquisite. Also, once you have children, you will realize that there is nothing you wouldn't do to keep them safe and happy. Do not try to run, you would be dead before you even went a block."

"Why do you remind me of Vito Corleone? Is this an offer I cannot refuse?" Harry asked.

"Unfortunately, yes. You refuse, my daughters with wither and die. If you accept, you will receive two women who will make you happy for the rest of your lives. I am not happy about this. The girls are not happy about this. My wife is furious about this. Magical France is going to go to war against Magical Britain. I am sure you are not happy about this either. But what choice do we have but to play the cards we are dealt," Jacques said sadly.

"I need some time to think. I need to talk to my girlfriend. Plus, I am not through grieving about Hermione." Harry said.

"Well, Millicent Bulstrode is waiting for you at our villa. You and her have rooms in the guest wing. Just please do not engage in sex with each other. That will send my daughters off. You do not want to deal with an enraged Veela." Jacques laughed at Harry's wide eyes and blushed.

"How do you know about Millie?"

"Simple. Because of the second task, I had the French DMLE as well as SDECE investigate you. It was found that you, Hermione Granger, and Millicent Bulstrode disappeared from your three common rooms at the same time more often than any other pairings."

"Is that all?"

"No, there was more, At least between you and Millicent Bulstrode. Her father was approached by Albus Dumbledore to put you in a similar betrothal contract with Millicent. Because while still a peasant, she is still a pureblood. Even better, she does not have a betrothal contact. If it matters, I like her dad. He pissed off Albus. He said he would never sign a contract that guaranteed his daughters and grandchild's death."

"Cool, if it gets to that stage, I think I will like my father-in-law. Now you talked of war, why is that?"

"The merfolk have learned about the Veela, thanks to the tournament, coming into their territory. When they agreed to the tournament, they never agreed to that. They are demanding reparations from the British for that violation. Britain is threatening war unless France pays for them. Because we allowed a creature to be our champion. When pointed out that they did not put any notice, it was all our fault that the ICW wouldn't let them. It is also our fault that Gabby is the thing my flower would miss the most despite the agreement that only the Yule Ball dates would be the hostages. There was also an agreement that while in stasis before the lake, a female Auror would be present to ensure that any female was not tampered with. The body had two wizards. Plus Dumbledore refused the security, saying that Hogwarts was safe and nothing would happen to any unconscious hostage. I am told that Victor's and Krum's hostages had chastity belts tied to Pomona Sprout. That is all that spared them. When we complained, it again, all fault that the body was hot," Jacques said with resignation.

"Do you think it will come to war?" Harry asked.

"With the likes of Fudge, Dumbledore, and your dark lord, I don't see how it won't."

"Do you think France will win, and does Amelia Bones know about all this?"

"The ICW has already ordered Britain to pay the reparations to the merfolk, as well as the remaining quidditch team, my family, France, Beauxbatons, and the Krums. Fudge and Dumbledore refuse of course. Yes, I am sure that Madam Bones knows what is going on. Even though Fudge has her muzzled."

"Damn. Okay, is there any way I can send a note to my favorite Auror, Nymphadora Tonks? She needs to hand in her last report and find a job as an Auror somewhere else. Since she is fluent in Italian, I suggest Italy," Harry said trying not to look at one of the females sitting nearby. When Jacques shakes his head. "Fine. Let's go to your villa."
