The adventures from love and life

by coco29

It is my first Harry Potter story. Will be Harry/Multi (Harem) and probably Neville/Multi. It will start at the beginning of the third year. Slow build-up. A smarter Harry and more friends. Earlier real friends with Neville and Ginny. Can be long between updates. Bashing RW/AD/?. We have reached the fourth year how will the earlier changes change the tournament and relationships?

62. Happiness with Sorrow

Chapter 62 Happiness with Sorrow

15th October 1994, Maenor Gwyrddlas, Wales

As soon as they exit the floo the first two girls get a big hug from the woman waiting on them. The third gets hugged by a man who was waiting with the woman before another woman hug her.

The man who waited for them entered last. The woman says, "Jacob, no problem, I guess. No, there wasn't, but I did wonder why Harry was with Heir Longbottom, Miss Granger and, for a brief moment, Mr. Weasley. Miss Granger seemed on her guard."

The oldest girl says "I think Gr… Hermione would look out for Harry. I mean, she is very protective of him as I saw her making sure Harry eats enough. I wonder why, but maybe that is why he looked very different in one night."

The other man asks "And you Tracey? Did you hear anything?"

Tracey shakes her and says, "No, I didn't Daddy or at least nothing certain there was much gossip about how he could change, but nothing with certainty. There were some true possibilities there was gossip about, but also some that were impossible. It seems beside Harry and Hermione no one knew or if they told others they didn't tell them. It did notice what Daphne noticed."

The youngest says "I did too but Daphne said I shouldn't do it to anyone."

Daphne says "That is because it wouldn't be good if you did Stori. Most of the Slytherins hate Harry. If you said you watched him or they notice you did they would outcast you and if you don't want one thing in the snake pit it is being outcast."

The two men nodded. Jacob says, "That is right. Paul, I am glad you could make it."

Paul says "No problem. I mean, I could see my little sweetie. I couldn't say no."

Tracey blushes heavily as she says, "Daddy, stop that."

Lady Davis says "Paul, leave her alone."

Paul says "You know she will always be my little sweetie, Jessica."

Tracey can die from embarrassment, but somehow it doesn't happen.

Jessica Davis, Tracey's muggleborn mother, says, "Paul, we are here for something important. I think we can better get to it and if we have time, you can embarrass Tracey more."

Tracey almost shouts, "Mom!"

Jessica gives Tracey a mischievous smile, which makes Paul love her wife even more.

Jacob said that Jessica was right."

Astoria immediately asks, "What is the good news, Daddy?"

Jacob says, "First, we will all take a seat in the living room."

Astoria nods and almost runs to the living room. She wants to know the good news. It must be really good or her father wouldn't say it is good news. Also, getting them here during the Hogsmeade weekend for House Business as she actually isn't allowed to go to Hogsmeade means it was not only very good news but also important news.

15th October 1994, Living Room, Maenor Gwyrddlas

When everybody sits down and takes a seat, Siri pops in with different drinks. As Jacob said, there were a couple of drinks. A pot with tea, a smaller pot with coffee, 7 cups, a bowl with sugar and 6 pints of butterbeer.

Jessica says "Tracey, I agree with Jacob. Two butterbeers and not more."

Tracey sighs before she says, "alright, Mom."

Paul looks at Jacob and asks, "Well, Jacob. What is so important you invite me, my wife and our daughters here during Hogwarts and call it House Business. You said that I needed to call Tracey home for that, but you never explained. I trust you as I have always done, but I wonder what made this so important. Also, what have your daughters had to do with it?"

"I mean, I know Daphne is your oldest and therefore the primary Heiress of House Greengrass. I know you raised her to take control of House Greengrass when the time is right, but she still needs a husband. I know you will never give in to Malfoy so there must be someone else but there aren't many Houses who dare to go against Malfoy."

Jacob says, "Everything you said is true. I am here as I got good news for my daughters and as our closest Ally, who also has a daughter, I thought you may want to know, as I think it would be good for your daughter. If you act on it, is completely your decision."

Isabel says "That is right, however, we are very happy for our daughters although they may find it awkward at first. We also fully believe what we are going to say and from a reliable source, despite the connection, we do believe all that has been said is the truth."

Daphne and Astoria look at each other and wonder what would be awkward for them, but probably will be over it as their mother said. Tracey looks at Daphne and Astoria and sees that they are as clueless as she is.

Paul asks "And is all that has been said and you believe to be true?"

Jacob asks "What would you say if I say that the traitor to the Potters isn't who everything thinks it is?"

Paul says, "I would say that is impossible. The traitor is Sirius Black. Everyone knows it. He was convicted and sent to live in Azkaban until his escape, that is."

Jacob asks "Exactly, but that happens if he didn't get convicted?"

Paul says, "Then I wonder why he was in Azkaban in the first place. Also, it is impossible as even Bellatrix Lestrange, who was caught red-handed with the Cruciatus torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom, Heir Longbottom's parents, got a trial. She got convicted."

No one reacted to the gasps of Astoria and Tracey, while even Daphne's face softened very much. It does explain to her why Neville reacted that badly to the Cruciatus Curse Professor Moody showed.

"Sirius Black is also of a Most Ancient and Most Noble House, even if he is not the Heir of a Most Ancient and Most Noble House. If he didn't get a trail and the Lord of Heir from House Black finds out if they like Sirius, then heads will go to roll and probably even those who weren't in charge then but are now."

Paul sat straight up as he asks in a distressed voice, "Wait a second, we never talked about this. Does that mean you think Sirius Black is innocent and what has that to do with your daughters and maybe even for my daughter?"

Jacob says, "It will I promise you that, however, because the nature of what I am going to tell you is sensitive, I do need your oath, Paul. I don't need your wife's or your daughter's. I need your oath to not tell anyone and order your wife and daughter by Family Magic to also not tell anyone as you can as Head of your House. Also, you, your wife and your daughter must not disclose this to anyone unless the person already knows, is the person in question and the person with the reason I asked you to be here with Tracey and your wife."

Paul barely hesitates and makes the oath Jacob wanted, including ordering his wife and daughter through Family Magic not to say anything as he can as Lord of their House and claim it to be House Business (and Family Magic).

Jacob says "Thank you, Paul. Now what I wanted to tell indeed is about Sirius Black."

Astoria says "Daddy, why are we talking about Sirius Black? That shouldn't matter to me, Daphne or Tracey. I would think it would for me, but you taught us that someone who stayed in Azkaban for a long time or was sentenced to life in Azkaban lose any Lordship or Heirship they had to a House even if it is a Most Ancient and Most Noble House like House Black."

Isabel "Yes sweetie, that is correct, but because Sirius Black wasn't convicted means he also wasn't sentenced. The Goblins probably didn't refuse to give Sirius a Lordship or Heirship if he wanted as he was convicted and sentenced."

Astoria looks surprised. Jacob sees what Astoria feared and says "Don't worry, Astoria. Sirius Black is not Heir Black."

Astoria let out a deep sigh and deep down when they started mentioning Sirius Black she was afraid that she was betrothed to Sirius Black, a murderer, a lunatic, an escaped convict and almost three times her age.

Isabel says "Sweetie, you should be glad Sirius Black wasn't convicted or Draco Malfoy would have been Heir Black through his mother Narcissa, who was a Black by birth. They probably still think he would be Heir Black, but I and your father are sure he isn't, or at least anymore."

Astoria asks "Why must I be happy, Mom? You haven't told us the good news yet…. wait one second, Sirius Black is from House Black. Does that mean you know who Heir Black is?"

Isabel can't suppress a big smile and nods her head. She says, "Yes, dear, we have, and that is not the only good news."

Daphne almost wants to beat her head on the table, especially as Astoria figured it out before her, which has never happened before. She still thinks about what would be awkward for her and Stori. She can't help but wonder and most of the time Harry has something to do with it. She doesn't have a clue what or how, but she is sure Harry would be involved, especially as he is her betroth. She can only think that they both will be with Harry as that will be awkward but Daphne knows she will be able to live to it. However, marrying the same wizard for sisters is illegal except if the sisters are twins, triplets or more. Also, there is no way Harry is Heir Black. Maybe House Potter bought House Black's marriage contract but then their mother would not mention Heir Black.

Jacob says "Before we tell you Astoria, we need to tell the rest to Paul, Jessica and Tracey so they would understand."

Jacob focuses on Paul and says, "Last Yule, we got two letters, one for Daphne and one for Astoria. We wondered why. We both read them and it seems the marriage contract between Harry and Daphne was recently signed and the marriage contract between House Greengrass and House Black for Heir Black was activated."

"We were happy for Daphne and were afraid for Astoria, as everyone knows that Lucius has been boasting about getting House Black's wizengamot vote and fortune, even if it is through his son. We were immediately glad when Lord Black wanted to let us know his Heir if not Draco Malfoy. I wouldn't have believed that if Lucius wasn't boasting, as he is known for. If he got your own way or another, he will let you know as much as he can. He wouldn't lie if he will be Regent for House Black until Draco Malfoy will become of age."

Tracey says, "That is why Daphne and Astoria were trying to find out who Heir Black was."

Jacob says, "Indeed, and it seems they were unsuccessful and now I and Isabel know why."

Astoria asks "Why is that, Daddy? I and Daphne did our best but we didn't find one clue, we started to think the Heir was afraid or not in Hogwarts meaning slightly older, slightly younger or in another school which would probably be Durmstrang Institute the all-boys school which is known for Dark Arts as House Black is too or at least in the past was as you taught us, Daddy."

Jacob says, "That is sound reasoning, however, none is true. The reason you didn't find out is that the Heir Black didn't know he was Heir Black. That would change today as I heard that he would be told today, although he will not be told about the marriage contracts between him and you, Astoria. He isn't used to marriage contracts."

Daphne doesn't show her surprise. Being able to be Heir Black but isn't used to marriage contracts can only be one wizard, and that is Harry. Daphne cannot think of any other Heir who is as clueless as Harry is. The chance that there is another Heir in Hogwarts who is clueless as Harry is almost impossible.

She just says/ asks "It is Harry, isn't it?"

She doesn't need her father or her mother to answer when she sees her mother's big smile. Her father's face shows indifference, but she didn't expect him to react if she is right or not.

Jacob asks "Why do you think it is him, Daphne?"

Daphne says "It is simple, Daddy. You said the Heir doesn't know he is Heir Black and also isn't used to marriage contracts which can also mean he doesn't know about them or isn't used anymore. The muggles don't use it anymore or only in special cases. The only one who is clueless about being a Heir and probably the customs of the wizarding world including marriage contracts needs to muggle raised. While there are quite a couple of muggleborns in Hogwarts Harry is the only Heir of a Most Ancient and Most Noble House. The change there is another one inside Hogwarts is almost impossible."

Astoria looks hopefully at her father as while her father is a Slytherin he would never lie to his family. He may not tell them everything but he will not lie.

Astoria decides to not let her father omit anything. She asks "Daddy, is Harry Potter at this moment betroth to me as Heir Black?"

Jacob says "Yes Stori. Your betroth is Harry James Potter who has made Heir Black by his godfather Lord Sirius Orion Black the third. Harry is eligible because his grandmother was a Black of birth."

Astoria almost shouts with happiness.

"Also Daphne I guess what you thought is logical. There may be some Heirs who have more than one name to them and don't know but that would be from House who was absorbed or declared extinct by the Wizengamot even if the Goblins didn't notify the Ministry. However, as long as there is a descent no matter how far away the Goblins will not notify the Ministry. I also think Harry is the only muggle raised from a Most Ancient and Most Noble House who doesn't know of his rights in our world."

Jessica says "Oh, Astoria I am so happy for you."

Astoria thanks Jessica who Daphne and Astoria both call Aunt even though they have no family ties.

Paul asks "Yes, I am happy for her too but what has that to do with my House or especially Tracey?"

Jacob says "It is because of the friendship Daphne and Tracey have which also includes Malfoy's threats. Tracey can become a target if Harry let Daphne know about the marriage contract or Malfoy shows his hand towards me and Isabel."

Paul asks "What do you mean, Jacob?"

Jacob says "I think Malfoy will do something to put more pressure on us. Also, he threatened us without really threatening us. He just hopes that no accidents happen before I would sign the marriage contract and if something may happen he will take care of the girls. Knowing he is a Death Eater I am horrified what his words may mean with taking care of them."

Paul says "You are expecting him to attack you or even worse."

Jacob says "Indeed especially as I will send a letter to him today that I will never sign the marriage contract and that I prefer to be a muggle with no Knut to my name. I don't hate muggles but as Malfoy does and wants money I couldn't think of a worse insult. I could use House-elves but we treat Siri quite well so that wouldn't be much of an insult."

Paul nods and says "I understand. I hope you have a plan to get yourself, Isabel, Daphne and Astoria to safety if something happens. I know that the manor has defensive wards like many other manors have. I obviously don't know what kind of wards as this is your manor but we all know that no matter the defensive wards with enough wands the defensive wards can break and it will just be a matter of time. Also, Malfoy will no doubt use the technics from the war like Anti-apparition wards before they attack and the floo being disabled."

Jacob says "I have a plan for Daphne and Astoria. Until shortly I had no plan for myself and Isabel, however, one House came through for us. Something I think no other House could do at this time."

Isabel says "Paul, don't scare the girls. We know what they did when they attacked a House and it was effective, unfortunately."

Jacob says "If you decide to act on this, Paul, and you let us know how if you think it is possible we can try to ask the House to also help you. There are, of course, probably a few more conditions but that is for you to work out with that House."

Paul sighs and asks "Do I need to ask which House or did I hear the Heir's name multiple times already? And I don't mean Heir Black."

Jacob just nods his head and Paul knows he needs to seek contact with House Potter if he decides to act on it. For once he knows he will need Jessica's and certainly, Tracey's opinion while normally he can take the right choice on his own or at least hears Jessica's thought. In this case, Tracey's opinion may even be the most important as he knows Jacob means with if he acts or not is to get into some connection with House Potter or maybe even a marriage contract with House Potter.

He wonders if Tracey would mind and if it can even be beneficial for his House and how those thoughts get crushed when he remembers that he really loves his daughter and does not want or will use her as a commodity like the dark families does. He almost wants to curse himself for thinking about his House is above Tracey. He also knows that Tracey's happiness can also help his House which makes him feel more guilty.

Jacob says "Daphne and Astoria there is more good news but also some bad news. I will start with bad news. Our import and export company is bankrupt."

Daphne looks indifferent but inside she is almost to the point of crying. Astoria can't control it and cries while she asks "We can't go to Hogwarts anymore?"

Daphne suddenly notice something her father said about the import and export company, not the House. She asks "Daddy, you only said the import and export company, not our House. Isn't the House also bankrupt?"

Jacob smiles inside as he is always happy to see the Slytherin side of his daughters just like Isabel is happy when her Ravenclaw side showed in their daughters and this is a bit of both.

Jacob says "Yes and no. We have no money left, but one House helped us when I asked. While that House could also save the company I decided against it as it will only infuriate Malfoy more and that is dangerous for us and both of you if not all three."

"The House gave us enough money to compensate the debt I made as I had no other choice but, to pay the fine to my suppliers and clients and gave my employees enough money to at least New Year even though the company is bankrupt and I am trying to unload the last supplies we have left for a much money as I can make before Halloween as then the company is officially bankrupted and closed."

"With a little bit of money from that House and my income of being a wizengamot member we can pay the little bit of taxes we need to pay. We don't pay much because of the law that 'pureblood' Houses with a long history and wizengamot members have to pay fewer taxes than others like muggleborns who pay the most which is unfair but everyone knows that the Wizengamot will never change it unless you managed to bribe anyone or have a strong wizard who is also popular."

"Dumbledore maybe be strong but certainly isn't popular. I think the only one popular enough at this moment is Harry Potter and then I am not even sure if he could manage it while he is the most famous wizard and also the most popular. Also the Most Ancient and Most Noble Houses don't pay taxes at all which is unfair but at least they all improved the wizarding world one way or another."

Paul nods as he agrees with Jacob's thoughts about the wizengamot and that it won't change or at least not soon even with Harry. For many Houses, money is more important than anything else sometimes even family.

Daphne says sadly "So we can't go to Hogwarts anymore."

She tries to keep her tears at bay and hugs Astoria who couldn't. Tracey was sad as she will lose her best friend and equally important Daphne's protection. She wonders if she even wants to go to Hogwarts anymore and that is solely because she will lose her best friend.

Jacob says "Normally it would mean that but House Potter offered to make sure you can finish Hogwarts."

Daphne says "You mean completely my OWL and then pull me out."

Jacob says "No, Daphne. And don't take that tone with me I am still your father."

Daphne says "I am sorry, Daddy, but you know I speak the truth. Almost everyone where the betroth House paid for their Heir's betroth was pulled out after they completed their OWLs even if the betroth was older than the Heir."

Jacob says "I know many Houses did that and still do, however, House Potter doesn't. Also, the representative of House Potter is sure that Harry would not pull you out of Hogwarts and would even want you to complete your NEWTs especially if you want."

Daphne says "Of course, I want even if I know what would be expected of me after I finish the OWLs."

Astoria dries her tears and says "Does House Black do the same for me?"

Isabel says "We didn't ask Astoria, but I am sure that you can finish your NEWTs too."

Astoria looks at Daphne and asks "What did you mean? What is expected of you after your OWLs and will that also be expected of me after my OWLs?"

Daphne says "I guess you will. I ….."

Isabel interrupts Daphne and says "We will tell you later Astoria now you don't need to know yet. You are just a second-year student. We will tell you after your third year if you want otherwise during Yule or after your fourth year."

Daphne doesn't know how to tell Astoria what she will see at the start of next year if not earlier what happened to Daphne and Tracey, she will need to do with Harry. The upper Slytherin made it look savage and animalistic with absolutely no pleasure for the girls."

Daphne hopes Harry will be more gentle at least the first few times. She doesn't know if Harry would be as bad as the Slytherin upper years are, but she can't shake the feeling Harry would be unless she wants him to be what she doesn't want … or does she. This is the first time she isn't sure what scares her a bit. Her training with her father makes her not show any sign of her sudden and little frightening thought especially as the upper Slytherin clearly showed that the girl will not have pleasure and some even said that the girls don't deserve to feel pleasure of it.

Everyone could see that the girls only felt pain if you don't count the girls who had more experience (all the sixth and seventh years and even a few fifth years meaning it wasn't the first time). Daphne and Tracey saw in those girls more the numbness (in their response and eyes when it happened) in most of them. The small few got at least some pleasure, but not very much. Daphne hopes that there was more pleasure to get out of it and it isn't only for the boys to have such a pleasure.

Jessica says "Enough about this and other heavy stuff. We should enjoy the rest of the day as we can see our daughters for a change while we normally have to wait until Yule."

Isabel says "I agree especially as we will not see them this Yule. Astoria, you still need to decide if you want to stay at Hogwarts or not. After all, you will not be able to go to the Yule Ball."

Astoria says "I know, mom. I will think about it. I think it could be fun to help Daphne and Tracey especially if Daphne wants to capture Harry's attention."

Daphne didn't expect that and can't suppress blushing as she would love nothing more than to capture Harry's attention on her although it depends on who his date is. While she wants to do that she knows she must not do that if he is with a girl that he seems to like as the girl will not like that and she wants to have a good relationship with her ….. sister-wives. Her mind immediately goes to Granger or the Weasley girl, she wonders if Susan will try to be Harry's date as she certainly has the body to entice boys and males and Harry is certainly a male.

Susan is the only girl that makes Daphne insecure which she hates. She doesn't hate Susan, no sane person can, she hates herself for being insecure because of Susan's busty body, especially her breasts and arse. She remembered that Susan has what is called childbearing hips which according to her mother males unknowingly desire and search for. She has seen that Hermione is not as developed as Susan but is also starting to show childbearing hips just like she (Daphne) is.

They had a great day especially as Tracey's parents provided lunch. They flooed back to the Three Broomsticks with Madam Rosmerta's permission. Tracey had a little teary goodbye with her mother and father inside Greengrass Manor. Her father whispered he will think about a marriage contract with Harry and so should she. She has one week to respond yes or no before he will make the decision despite her agreement or disagreement. Tracey promised she will but deep down she know she wants it, but she is still a Slytherin.

Daphne and Astoria bid their mother farewell with a big hug and their father after he flooed with them and Tracey to the Three Broomsticks just in time to have a quick visit to Honeydukes for sweets and chocolate before going back to Hogwarts with the last group that would leave. You can also go back on your own but most of the students leave with a big group at the last moment when there are also teachers present especially during the first and last Hogsmeade weekend as those have the best weather as the other two visits have mostly vile weather meaning it will be cold and have heavy snow or heavy rain, sometimes even (a heavy) snowstorm, hailstorm or rainstorm.

15th October 1994, Bones Manor

Susan, Hannah, Amelia and two Aurors floo into Bones Manor where two other Aurors were already present. Amelia only asked two Aurors as she didn't want to stand out more than she already did. Amelia invited Sarah Abbot Hannah's mother as Sarah always missed Hannah immensely. Sarah had only Hannah left after her husband died, unfortunately, after a thankfully short sick bed.

Many illnesses can be cured. Dragon Pox is the most lethal illness and only can be cured in the early stages. Also, the potions needed are difficult to make and require rare ingredients that are also very expensive. The potions to cure Dragon Pox cannot be put under stasis because of the ingredients and it take quite a lot of time to make. One cauldron will at least take a month to a month and a half while three months is for the best potions to cure Dragon Poxs.

Amelia went with Senior Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt and Auror Savage with Junior Auror Tonks and Auror Proudfoot in Bones Manor waiting on her return. She send all the Auror to their station except Junior Auror Tonks whose ability she was born with can be very useful if attackers break through the wards on Bones Manor and passed the Aurors outside. Also, Amelia trusts Tonks completely just as she trusts Kingsley and for the most part Savage and Proudfoot. There is almost no Auror she trusts more. Only Moody and Tonks partner in their training Hestia Jones she trusts more than Savage and Proudfoot. However, she trusts Savage and Proudfoot enough but there is no doubt in her mind to tell them the truth about Sirius Black only Kingsley, Moody and Hestia Jones she will tell as Tonks already knows. Moody is no Auror so he doesn't need to know and as the ministry believes Sirius has still fled Great Britain Kingsley and Hestia also don't need to know or at least not yet. Somehow she feels before the end of the (school) year they probably need to know unless Sirius does something stupid that she fully believes he is capable of just like when he was younger.

All four take a seat in the living room when Kimmy pops in with different kinds of drinks obviously with Butterbeer for Susan and Hannah what they would have drink if they were in Hogsmeade.

Amelia says "Susie, I asked you here for House Business. I knew you would take Hannah and I allowed it as I know Sarah misses Hannah a lot when she is at Hogwarts."

Amelia didn't notice until she looks at Sarah and Hannah that they have been hugging after having a small sip of the drink Kimmy brought.

Susan smiles as she knows Hannah misses her mother too especially as after he father died they had each other to help the grieving process.

Amelia looks back at Susan and says "The reason I came to get you and used House Business is because it is although it is not like House Business is normally used and the reason isn't how Houses usually use House Business."

Susan asks "What is the reason then Auntie?"

Amelia smiles and says "I think you are going to like it a bit although I know you want more but is at least a first step."

Susan can't contain her curiosity and asks impatiently "What is it, Auntie?"

Amelia smiles sweetly and says "Lord Black, will tell Heir Potter about the marriage contracts."

Susan blushes immediately as she asks "Ha-Harry knows we are betr-betrothed?"

Amelia shakes and says "No, Susie. I said it was only a step and maybe even a small one at that. Heir Potter is muggle raised and marriage contracts fell out a favour a long time ago. There are a few exceptions but that is not important right now if ever. Lord Black will tell Heir Potter about marriage contracts and that isn't uncommon in our world, especially between old Houses like House Potter and our house, House Bones."

"Lord Black will, however, not tell him that he is betrothed to you. I am not even sure if Heir Potter will know that he has marriage contracts to his name. I will tell you that Daphne Greengrass and Astoria Greengrass both have a marriage contract with Heir Potter ….. actually with Harry Potter and Heir Black respectively."

Susan says "I know about Daphne."

Susan tells Amelia how Susan knows and also that the other Hufflepuff girls in her year know as she told them after Yule and confronting Harry about Hermione when Daphne slapped him.

Amelia nods and understands Harry after she met him during the summer before the third year and his loyalty to his friends. She founds it weird that he chose to trust Ronald above Hermione. Susan like she read her mind agreed and told Amelia the whole story about the Firebolt including that a couple of Professors made sure the Firebolt was safe.

Susan asks after her story "Auntie, what do you mean with Heir Black?"

Amelia says "I thought you should know in advance although Harry will know today, Harry is Heir Black as his godfather, Sirius Black, made Harry his Heir. I also tell you this as Astoria Greengrass has a marriage contract with Heir Black and after Sirius Black made Harry his Heir the marriage contract was activated as it would stay dormant until Sirius died or he wouldn't choose his Heir. He chooses his Heir that is Harry who is eligible."

"As Sirius chose his Heir the marriage contract was activated. Around this time or at least soon Astoria Greengrass and Daphne Greengrass will know that Harry James Potter is beside Heir Potter also Heir Black."

Susan asks "But how, Auntie? Sirius Black tried to murder Harry last year."

Amelia says feeling a bit guilty for believing that too "I understand that you think that Susan, but we were all lied to and because the Ministry after You-Know-Who's war wanted to forget it happened and believed Sirius Black to be guilty they didn't give him a trial which would have cleared him. We think other things happened as all the Death Eaters did get a trial and Sirius although not a Death Eater was an exception for not getting a trial. He did nothing of the crimes he was accused of that got him into Azkaban."

"I talked with him not that long ago and I believe what he told me. Also, everything he said did make more sense than what he was accused of especially as I remember clearly how happy Sirius was when Harry was born and even more when he was named as his godfather."

Hannah and her mother have been listening to Amelia and Susan all this time and look as shocked as Susan looks. Amelia is almost certain Susan believes her as she never lied to her, she may not always have told the whole truth but never lied outright.

After Susan shook she asks "Does Harry know?"

Amelia nods her head and says "he knows about the same as you, probably a bit more."

Susan asks "Then why doesn't he does something about and why don't we help him?"

Amelia says "I like to help him Susan really I do. However, the Wizengamot wouldn't help him unless there is evidence they can't ignore, even if Madam Longbottom will support us of which I am not even certain as some important matters may arise or prevents her from supporting us. Also, as Malfoy believes Draco Malfoy is the Black Heir they also would want him gone and that is not to mention the kiss on sight order."

Susan starts thinking about how to help. Sarah can't suppress a small smile and says "Don't you forget to mention the feelings you still have for him and he has for you, no doubt."

Amelia glares at Sarah and says "That isn't true."

Sarah says teasingly "Suuuurrrrreeeee, it isn't."

Amelia as an Auror managed to not show any emotion.

Susan wanting to help her Aunt says "Aunt Sarah, you can better ask Hannah this."

Sarah looks at Hannah and asks "Is there something I should know, Hannah?"

Hannah starts to blush and shake her head.

Susan says "Oh, really. If I remember correctly there was a certain boy to catch your eye. Now I just need to remember who it was."

Hannah almost jumps on Susan to stop her. Susan tries to get away but after only a few steps she gets tackled from behind. Before Hannah can put her hands on Susan's mouth Susan screams "It is Heir Neville Longbottom."

Just barely a second before Hannah's hands reach Susan's mouth Hannah's hands drop to her side as the cat is out of the bag. Hannah doesn't know Sarah already knew it since last year's Yule party at Malfoy Manor when Amelia mentioned Hannah's look at Neville.

Sarah asks happily "Is that true, dear?"

Hannah doesn't respond. Susan smiles and says "It sure is. Just when Neville enters she is immediately distracted. The last few days I was afraid she would either attack him right there and stared to drool while she stares at him which is almost all the time. It is a wonder she still has passing grades in every class we share with Gryffindor."

Hannah starts to blush which is all the answers Sarah needs. Sarah happily hugs Hannah, of all the young males she met, Neville is by far the most kind-hearted Heir which makes him the best. He doesn't act like he is the gift of Merlin to witches like many Heirs do. Some other Heirs are nice but also arrogant. Only a very few are not and Neville is one of them as is Harry apparently as Sarah doesn't think Susan will choose a bad wizard just like she thinks her own daughter wouldn't. She also knew both Neville's and Harry's parents and If they are even remotely like them, especially when they were adults (and the Head of their House) they will be good wizards.

Sarah thinks 'Maybe it is time to talk to Madam Longbottom after all.'

Sarah says "I am so happy for you dear."

Hannah mutters "Only if he feels the same."

Susan says "he will in time. You know all boys are thick even the good ones like Neville and Harry."

Hannah can't suppress a small smile and a small giggle.

Susan also giggles. After the giggle Susan's voice becomes serious. She says "But Hannah you must not believe Ernie anymore in regards to Harry or Neville. Neville likes and trusts Harry. If something happens again and Neville trusts Harry I strongly advise you to do the same no matter the difficulty or even if it will alienate us from our Hogwarts House. I will always believe Harry unless Hermione or Ginevra say otherwise until I know him just as well as they do I will listen to their opinion. I will make my own opinion when I know him better although I think Hermione and Ginevra are mostly right."

"Neville is close to Harry. If you want him to see you and like you, I truly think trusting his trust in Harry is one of the ways to do so if the situations arise. I have no doubt something will happen. I mean every year since Harry went to Hogwarts something happened."

Hannah nods and says "I think you are right."

Amelia says "She is especially as Neville is closer to Harry than you might think. I will not say why as it isn't my place, but they are closer than just good friends even if they might not know it themselves."

Susan and Hannah wonder what Amelia means, they just know one thing when they marry their wizard they will be close like now if not even more especially if Neville and Harry are close.

When Amelia sees that they start thinking about various things she decided they should not think too much of it. Amelia says "Why don't we enjoy the day for as long as we can? We never see our girls during Hogwarts or Hogsmeade weekend. We can better enjoy it as we already got all the House Business stuff and some revelations out of the way."

They all agree and enjoy the day as they do outside of Hogwarts. Susan and Hannah don't gossip but that doesn't mean they don't hear any gossip. The same goes for Amelia and Sarah although Sarah always tries to hear more gossip she just doesn't spread the gossip she hears. Amelia doesn't care unless the gossip is true causes problems or is dangerous. They all talk about what has been heard in Hogwarts and the older two about the Wizengamot and the Ministry.

Susan and Hannah almost beg their Aunt and Mother respectively what the Tasks will entail, but both say it is more fun if they find out when the others find out. Amelia does tell them about the Yule Ball as she just couldn't see the happy smile of Susan and Hannah.

Amelia knows Susan will not like this. She says "Susan, I know you will not like this but you cannot ask Harry. He can ask you but you cannot ask him as Harry's guardian will not tell him about the marriage contract as he wants Harry to find his own date and not be pushed into a date with you or Daphne Greengrass as you are betrothed to him. I think Astoria Greengrass as a second-year is too young anyway."

Amelia gives a wink and says "That doesn't mean you can give Harry some clues that you would like to accompany him to the Ball as your date or as his date. Depends on how you give the clues."

Susan giggles and says "I don't know if he will see the clues. Harry is rather clueless and thick."

Hannah sighs and says "Just like Neville. I think the other girls know we are interested in them. I am afraid bolder girls will take Neville away."

Amelia says "I wouldn't worry about Hannah. I think when the time is right you will know to tell him if it comes to that. Also, you can ask him to the Ball although it is more common for the boy to ask. If he doesn't you can always ask him or his date for a dance during the Ball."

"However, Susan, Sirius thinks that Harry will not try to find his own date who may as well be one of the Ladies Potter in the future. Sirius doesn't want to take that away from Harry especially as it is fully his choice who will be Lady Potter if the girl accepts Harry and you three. Also, if you don't ask him Sirius hopes when he will tell Harry your name and the Greengrass' name Harry will fully understand that he indeed can have more wives as he still had another date while you and the Greengrass sisters are still his betroth."

"However, that doesn't mean you cannot ask him to dance or ask his date if you can have a dance with him at least once during the ball. It cannot be the opening dance as after the three chosen champions slowly more people will start to dance. You must allow Harry's date to be his first dance when the students join the champions and the teachers on the dance floor."

They always come back through the floo a bit before the Greengrasses and just like them they go to Honeydukes before waiting at the end of town with a group of students and teachers that slowly is growing. They see a disappointed Hermione who left Honeydukes just before them with a scared Neville, who tried to look brave, Ginny Weasley happily talking and Luna Lovegood most people call Looney who gives Susan a knowing smile and a small nod like acceptance. Susan tries not to dwell on it with Amelia and her Aurors guiding them to Honeydukes before back to the group.

Amelia decides to wait until the group moves to Hogwarts and decides to follow them until Susan and the others are safe behind the castle wards. She can do that because of the Death Eaters and the Dark Mark. The teachers happily allow the Aurors and Madam Bones to escort them to the Hogwarts gate. Amelia doesn't think they are in danger but that doesn't mean she will take any chances. Also, she likes to have Susan around even though she must try to read the others. She sees Susan trying to talk with Hermione which doesn't really work. Amelia knows why as Susan likes Hermione and probably suspects she will be one of the Ladies' Potter.

Amelia agrees if Hermione manages to accept the magical laws which many muggleborns found medieval, barbaric and sometimes downright cruel that are not to mention heavily favour pureblood Houses and pureblood Houses with wizengamot seat the most with the Hierarchy of Houses being the most important. As Muggleborns don't have a house and most don't even see them as fellow half-blood or pureblood witches and wizards they are discriminated against and doesn't even have the same right. Amelia has a large problem with that but with the current Dark Families and the traditional Houses don't want to change laws to be fair for all especially as many traditional Houses are pureblood and don't like muggleborns and muggles save a few like House Longbottom who is traditional and a light House.

Amelia mused to herself that Lily was the same as Hermione as far as she can see. Hermione need to lose her muggle upbringing through multiple marriages or like it is commonly called Harems. However, Harems has a negative tone to it so it is mostly called multiple marriages in polite conversations and situations. Hermione doesn't need to lose her muggle upbringing but needs to accept the standards that the magical communities and magical law have as it is different that muggle and muggle law standards just like Lily did beside don't like the law or standards often using the words medieval and barbaric. Amelia wouldn't be surprised if Hermione is the same and will eventually accept it as even the stubborn Lily Evans did. Amelia wonders if Hermione will be just as stubborn as Lily or not, it will be impossible to be worse than Lily at least that is what Amelia thinks.

15th October 1994, Hogwarts

Professor McGonagall and Harry manage to reach the group that walked back from Hogsmeade right before they enter Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall is pleased that they managed as this will give a smaller chance Professor Dumbledore finds out or suspects something happened.

Professor McGonagall has been considering on her own if or when Andi must reveal her status as Regent Potter especially if Dumbledore become too involved with Harry although until known he hasn't but that is as if nothing happened. Although knowing Harry's luck and search for trouble something will happen sooner rather than later.

The group immediately walks towards the Great Hall as dinner is soon. Professor McGonagall notices that certain girls have noticed Harry although Harry seems clueless, for once a bit carefree and happy.

Professor McGonagall notices Hermione is not happy with Harry. She wonders if either Sirius or Remus is right. Although there is a third way and that is what happened between James and Lily after they became a couple although Harry and Hermione are a bit too young for it as that was heavy snogging on a bed in the Hospital wing before curfew and slightly after Curfew he managed to leave the Hospital wing and spend the night in Gryffindor tower and the boys' dorm after she herself made sure that James and Lily didn't spend up in the same bed. Fortunately, Lily seems to tell the truth and wouldn't do it as she knows James will tell her he wouldn't but he certainly will if he manages to enter the girls' dorm luckily for her he never managed. Professor McGonagall doesn't even know if boys and men can enter the girl's dorm any other way as the stairs turn into a slide when a man or boy tries.

Professor McGonagall wonders when Hermione will confront Harry as she is starting to look quite livid if not miffed as it looks like Harry try to avoid looking at Hermione. Professor McGonagall doesn't know that Harry feels Hermione's anger directed at him and feels her anger inside himself.

15th October 19934, Gryffindor Common Room

It is after dinner and Harry tries to sneak into the dorm. He wants to grab his cloak and hopes Hermione doesn't notice him doing that or like last time knows he uses it. He doesn't know how she knew he was there. Even before Moony and Professor McGonagall removed certain charms the invisibility cloak seemed to work. He hasn't tried it after the charms were removed but he did look at the invisibility cloak and it doesn't seem to be damaged after Moony and Professor McGonagall removed the charms.

However, before he can reach the stairs Hermione grabs his wrist. She starts to pull him to the entrance. Harry feels he can stop her if he wants to but when he wanted to try Hermione stopped turns around and looks into his eyes. Harry sees the looks Hermione gives him and he decided to not resist. Like Hermione knows she immediately turns around and continues dragging him along.

It is already near curfew as like always on Hogsmeade weekend the dinner starts later than usual and continues longer than usual.

15th October 1994, Sixth floor, Ravenclaw Tower

Harry did not expect Hermione will drag him to this room. He hopes that he is here for the normal thing and not to be yelled at. While he hopes he is here for the kisses he doesn't know how to feel about it as he always felt good before but that was before he knew he has already three betrothed who would all be in Hogwarts. He doesn't like Sirius wouldn't tell him, but he trusts him completely so he will have a good reason. Also, Sirius said that they will not be Lady Potter, does that mean he wants me to find a Lady Potter first before he will reveal them or is it needed he needs to find a Lady Potter first just like his father found his mother at first?

It doesn't take long before Ginny Luna and Katie walk in. They don't look mad and were happily talking. Hermione looked indifferent but Harry did still feel her anger but also sadness. He doesn't know why but only that it happened during dinner. He doesn't know if something happened as he sat away from her because of her anger and he didn't know if he should tell her or not. Even if he will tell her what has happened.

Hermione draws her wand and Harry instinctively draws his wand with a flick of his wrist from his new wand holster. Hermione is surprised that Harry already has his wand in his hand. The next thing surprised Hermione. Harry sees what he did and places his wand on the closest desk. Harry can still grab it if needed. It makes Hermione even madder as it looks like he does not take her seriously. Hermione fires a small hex prepared for Harry to evade take his wand and fire back. She expected Harry to fire back, but that doesn't happen. The hex goes towards Harry and Harry gets hit. All the girls see that Harry didn't even try to evade the hex when he did have the time. It doesn't seem to have any effect which makes Hermione angrier.

Hermione start to hex Harry with many curses. Harry hit with all until Hermione starts to feel a little tired which takes a little over 5 minutes even though she didn't use a lot of power in her hexes and small curses. Harry certainly feels it, but with every hex and curse Hermione's anger slightly decreases. When Hermione is tired of casting the last anger she had disappeared.

What happens next Harry would have never guessed. Hermione pockets her wand. Walks towards Harry and when she is sure Harry isn't too hurt she jumps towards Harry. With Harry's new height and muscles, he manages to keep standing and catch Hermione. Hermione lays her head on his chest and keeps apologizing about being pushy, trying to keep him from leaving and the hexes and curses.

After that, she kisses him almost completely on the mouth. Hermione immediately notices and almost pushes herself away so hard that pushes Harry back as is in shock that he hits a desk and falls over it. Luckily it wasn't the desk with his wand or he might have damaged it.

Before Harry can't get up Ginny is next to him to kiss him dangerously close to his mouth. Luna is on the other side of Harry to immediately does the same on the other side of his mouth. Katie helps him up before she hugs him which hurt Harry a bit from the fall but also Hermione's curses and hexes before she kisses his cheek.

Katie feels it is her place to do it as Hermione did in the heat of the moment or like Ginny and Luna did ….. or at least not yet. She wants to snog him so bad that she is proud of herself that she can contain herself. Maybe she needs to talk with Hermione and convince her Harry is ready for a snog even a small snog.

After all that has happened, Hermione says "Let's go to the Hospital wing."

Harry asks "Why?"

Hermione blushes and says "Some of the curses and hexes should have hurt you."

Harry says "I did feel it but it doesn't feel too bad."

Hermione says "That doesn't matter. Also, Curfew is fast approaching and Madam Pomfrey needs to make sure you are fine."

Hermione with tears in her eyes continues "Because of me, my hexes and curses. Harry, I really am sorry."

Hermione start to let tears fall and Harry while feeling a bit hurt by her hexes and curses immediately gives her a hug that soothes her enough to stop the tears from falling and continue sobbing. Harry feels her remorse like the knight bus hitting at full speed, her emotion of remorse is that strong it fully consumes Harry and Ginny although nobody but Luna seems to see and know that.

Harry tells Hermione he is sorry for deceiving her but he really needed to do it alone and should just have told her instead of deceiving her by leaving her when she didn't notice it. He should just have been honest.

15th October 1994, Hospital wing, Hogwarts

It is almost 10 minutes later when they enter the Hospital wing. Harry says he is fine, but Hermione knows that fine for Harry isn't really fine. She wonders why almost none of her hexes or curses worked even though they weren't that bad. She is actually glad that the curses and hexes almost didn't work as she never wants to hurt Harry and she knows worse and more painful curses.

She was just so angry that her best friend didn't trust her. She knows she had every right to be angry but not every right to throw hexes and curses at Harry. Even if she has a right to throw hexes and curses at Harry, Ginny and in lesser ways Luna and Katie have the right to stop her from doing that that is probably also the reason Ginny looks mad when she looks at her.

Hermione also thinks that Luna was right that Harry needed to do this alone…. for now. She hopes Luna was right as she has been until know that Harry got the help he needed. She also hopes that what Luna implied is that he will tell them when he is ready he will tell them. Also, Luna told her they just need to trust Harry and if there is one thing she does, it is trusting Harry…. unconditionally.

As soon as they enter Madam Pomfrey comes out of her office. She says with a big smile "I expected you, Mr. Potter."

Harry asks innocently "How did you know, Madam Pomfrey?"

From behind her, they hear a familiar voice saying "Because I told her, Mr. Potter."

Hermione, Ginny, Katie and Harry all say "Professor McGonagall."

Luna just has a serene smile as she knew right before they entered that Professor McGonagall would also be here.

Madam Pomfrey says "Get on your bed, Mr. Potter."

Madam Pomfrey already walks to the bed Harry occupies when he is in the Hospital wing.

Harry lies down and Madam Pomfrey starts to cast diagnostic spells. Harry even noticed a few she has never used before. After a few minutes, Madam Pomfrey is down and says "Ah yes, wait here Mr. Potter."

Harry just nods and soon Madam Pomfrey returns with two potions. Harry needs to drink both while Madam Pomfrey removes any effect of Hermione curses and hexes especially as Hermione can tell which hexes and curses she used.

Professor McGonagall asked which hit and when Hermione answered all Professor McGonagall was surprised as Hermione is good in theory but not the best in casting. Hermione is good but not the best and thought her accuracy and precision would be average at best but if Harry would try to evade he will be able to. Accuracy and precision especially by witches will improve in time as their body changes a lot they need to learn how to have accuracy and precision with their growing female curves. Most witches will have average or slightly above average accuracy and precision around their OWLs and not later than the end of their sixth year, that is also the reason accuracy and precision are not necessary to pass the OWLs although it is for the NEWTs when they are more accustomed to their female curves and (young) womanly body. Some girls will be accustomed earlier if they are early bloomers like Susan Bones.

Ginny says "Harry didn't try to evade."

Professor McGonagall thinks about why Harry would do that or why he couldn't defend himself. Remus told her in confidence that Harry was good at fighting and certainly the best he has ever seen as Harry can even cast a strong Protego (for his age). Professor McGonagall knows that Hermione is a very strong witch but she knows that Harry is stronger which is unusual at this age where witches are mostly stronger than wizards, it means Harry is very strong and will mean Harry will become stronger as he ages. Professor McGonagall wonders if some rumours about super-strong wizards are true, especially regarding witches.

She hears Ginny says "He even removed his wand and put it away so he couldn't use it."

When Professor McGonagall hears that she can just barely suppress a smile as while James did put his wand away he also didn't protect himself although he did try to evade when Lily got mad at him for his pranks (after they were a couple). Still, Sirius got the most hexed and cursed by Lily. Harry and Hermione are just so much like James and Lily it is uncanny and almost funny.

However, Professor McGonagall looks at Harry and asks "Can you tell me why you didn't try to evade or uses your wand, Mr. Potter?"

Harry says shamefully "Hermione was right to be mad. I deserved the hexes and curses."

Professor McGonagall can barely keep the shock off her face. She is afraid of why Harry said it like that. She hopes that her biggest fear had not become reality as she promised herself she will strangle Dumbledore with his own beard if even a little bit is true.

She is also afraid of how Sirius will react or how Remus will but mostly Remus's werewolf side that sees Harry as his cub. She wonders if Sirius still has control over his Animagus form as he sees Harry as his pup. She hopes her fear isn't true for Harry's sake, Sirius's sake, Remus's sake and her own sake. She knows that Harry has been malnourished but that isn't her biggest although she does blame herself (partly) for his malnourishment. She hopes the Dursleys didn't do more but he sometimes shows signs there was Professor McGonagall is afraid to find out if it is true or not.

Harry will probably not tell her if she asks. She knows if it happened and she finds out it will break her and not only that but it will also wreck her with guilt as she didn't stop Dumbledore will James was her godson and Lily was her favourite student only rivalled by Hermione. She should have known better, she knew Lily dislikes her sister or at least her sister disliked Lily, James and the magical world with a passion if not worse.

Madam Pomfrey says "Mr. Potter take these two potions and then wait for an hour. After the hour I will check you again and if there is no problem you can sleep in the dorm."

Harry wants to refuse but the girls give him a look that he should listen to Madam Pomfrey. Harry nods and says "Alright, Madam Pomfrey."

Professor McGonagall says "Great. now Miss Granger, Miss Weasley, Miss Lovegood and Miss Bell it will be curfew in just a few minutes. It will be better if you go to the Common Room."

Hermione, Ginny and Katie don't want to go while Luna just has her serene smile. Professor McGonagall can force them to but know that they will not go to bed before Harry returns. She decides to allow them to stay.

Professor McGonagall says "Alright, you can stay until Madam Pomfrey decides if Harry needs to stay here or can return to his dorm. If he needs to stay here you will go back to the common room if Harry doesn't he will join us as I walk you back to the common rooms first for Miss Lovegood and then for the Gryffindors. Is that understood?"

All the girls expect Luna happily nod. Luna has not expected this but is happy Professor McGonagall allows all of them to wait for Harry. She knows that Harry will return to his dorm tonight and doesn't need to stay. She knows that Hermione nowhere used her full power as she can never really hurt Harry (badly).

Exactly one hour later almost an hour after curfew for all of them Madam Pomfrey clears Harry and says "Well, Mr. Potter, it seems you are well enough to leave the Hospital wing. If you get cursed again at least defend yourself or if one of the curses remains to bother you please come here. And now I don't want to see you again next year or my threat to keep you here until Yule will now be Easter."

Harry says solemnly "Yes, Madam Pomfrey."

Madam Pomfrey nods and says "I am not joking, Mr. Potter."

Harry just nods his head to let her know he heard her.

Madam Pomfrey says "Now if you all wait outside, I need to talk to Professor McGonagall for a few minutes."

They all follow her request although her voice clearly lets them know that they should not refuse.

When Harry closes the door behind him Professor McGonagall asks "What if wrong, Poppy? I know you will not let Harry leave if there was a problem even if we both want to reassure the girls."

Madam Pomfrey says "You are right, Minerva. You know me too well. I thought you should know that the two potion one was nothing more than water while the other was only a pain reliever for the chance he really was in pain."

Professor McGonagall asks "Why did you give two then? Shouldn't one be enough?"

Madam Pomfrey says "Yes, normally I would but I have been wondering about Harry for a bit. Even I know Hermione wouldn't really hurt Harry. It seems that all the curses were very weak and some curses were already out of his system. It seems that Harry's magic is indeed strong as Andromeda Tonks suggested. It seems his magic learned to heal Harry from injuries but also from hurtful magic. I also think that Hermione didn't use her full power as she is a strong witch so I am not sure but it does look like it. I need to study Harry more to be sure, but as you know and pointed out we don't have that ability with Albus almost unhealthy obsession with Harry and will know within 10 minutes Harry needs to stay here for a long time."

Professor McGonagall nods and says "You are indeed right. I have the same ideas but that should be impossible. I fully believe magic can act on its own, but the magic of a person healing the person without the person knowing, I think that is a bit too much especially at this age they should be able to control their magic at this age."

Madam Pomfrey says "It may be possible if the wizard or witch is strong enough especially if they have experience with incidents and the stronger the wizard the more chance it is indeed possible. I can't stretch how powerful Harry must be. Albus that I always thought was his magical guardian didn't want his magical power or mana pool checked. I always wondered why but I followed his wishes also he said that Harry didn't want to know. Now I am not so sure. It at least raises questions like you have Minerva and it does show he cares a lot more about Harry or is obsessed with Harry as all muggleborns who end up in the Hospital wing got their magic checked which is why I know Hermione is very strong even for a witch her age."

"I wonder if you asked Dumbledore to educate especially the muggleborn witches about the way of our world."

Professor McGonagall says "I did and Albus refused as his fear is my fear if we don't tell them while Albus says he is afraid if we do tell them they will leave the magical world after Hogwarts or try to change our way which will make them targets for the dark families, the traditional families and certain individuals. I am happy you at least are allowed to give the girls a check-up every year for those who want to and most of the girls use it in every House except Slytherin there no girl use it but maybe they are not allowed or did already get a medical check by their House doctor as most Houses have their own Doctor especially old and influential Houses just like Harry has for House Potter although they wouldn't mind you do it too while he is at school. Maybe when the chance arises you need to talk to Andromeda Tonks to fill in what happened with Harry and his medical record since you treated him in what should be Hogwarts."

Madam Pomfrey says "I did it only in Hogwarts but I don't have the record. Albus always wanted them and didn't want me to make a copy as a safety measure. He always said that he didn't want a chance that the records would be stolen by someone who had ill intentions towards Harry. I agreed maybe I shouldn't."

Professor McGonagall says "I understand, Poppy. I would probably agree. Now I can better bring them all to their Common Room before it gets too late especially after the day Harry had."

Poppy just nodded and returns to her office and her sleep quarters behind it. Professor McGonagall walks to the door to escort them so they would get detention by the prefects, other teachers or Filch.

15th October 1994, Gryffindor Common Room

Professor McGonagall decides to save Harry a little bit. Luna was brought to Ravenclaw dorm, and they said good night to her right before the door closed.

When they enter the Common Room Professor McGonagall entered too and ordered them to bed immediately without delay. She hopes that it will give Harry time to process what has happened today and he will have some time to practice his Occlumency. She does wonder how his defences are especially because of his powerful magic and who his parents were who were very skilled Occlumency and that is not to mention that all Potters were accomplished Occlumentes and they had quite a lot of masters in their long history of House Potter. Professor McGonagall doesn't know if all the Masters were really Masters, but should at least be very good to be seen as Masters even if they weren't.

Without eye connection, accomplished practitioners can defend themselves from most attacks except powerful Legilimentes like Voldemort and Dumbledore. Although most accomplished practitioners who learned for decades or are proficient in mind, magic can fool Legilimentes with fake memories although she wonders if Voldemort and Dumbledore can see through it. She has Occlumency and knows when she attacked either with force or subtly. She knows she can resist attacks but doesn't know if she would ever be able to stop Voldemort or Dumbledore if they use force.

Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Katie listen to Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall sees that Hermione isn't happy about it. Professor McGonagall knows that Hermione would question Harry now that he is adequately healthy. She hopes Harry will have enough time to process it and can answer Hermione with what he is comfortable with and manages to process.

Professor McGonagall wonders how soon Harry will be in the Hospital wing again especially when Hermione finds out about the three marriage contracts which reminds her that talking with Hermione may be a good idea as will be with Ginny, Luna and Katie as other muggleborn together with Harry's betrothed Susan Bones, Daphne Greengrass and Astoria Greengrass.

Let's end her for now. It has been a long time and a long time between updates for what I apologize but I have been very busy, a bit too busy.

In the next chapter, Harry tells his girls some things, Susan will talk with Hermione and Daphne separately, Hermione will ask Harry to use Hedwig, we will see the letter and the other schools will arrive.

Please read and review. PMs are highly appreciated.
