Chapter 5
Our enthusiasm from our soul bonding and marriage the night before was dimmed somewhat when several dead bodies of classmates were discovered drained of blood in the school. Willow found them and was quite upset. Buffy determined that she would need to face the master. We came up with a plan.
I would go with Buffy under my invisibility cloak. If it looked like she was getting her ass kicked I would step in and take out the Master. Hermione would stay in the school library and be prepared for the worst case. In the event of my death she wouldn't last more than a few minutes thanks to the soul bonding but that was long enough to call in an entire team of mages.
They would hopefully be able to close the Hellmouth opened from the Master's escape.
Giles tried to stop Buffy after last night's speech with her quitting because she is too young to die. He really does care about her. I hit him with a stunner and Buffy and I left to face the master. She was led there by the child we recognized as the anointed one. Once we got there she began to face him. I became alarmed and was about to intervene when he used hypnosis on her. He started showing signs of mystical power and I realized too late what was happening.
The Master is a demon possessing a body in this reality. Demons have powers. This guy is probably a high demon. His vamps are just shades of his true self. I was having trouble finding him when he came out of the shadows behind me and ran me through with an iron bar.
"Buffy," I managed before falling to the ground and clutching my ruined chest where I could already start to feel my heart giving up.
"Harry!"
My vision was going out and I couldn't concentrate on my wife.
"Stupid wizard…thinking you could hide from me with Death's cloak," the first one said as he kneeled beside me.
"The Death of this dimension may be a high Fey or the opposite of a high demon but death could never find me even when we battled in the demon and fey wars eons ago. The best the fey could do is drive us out of this dimension. That cloak may work on my descendants and lesser demons but not on me."
These were the last words I heard before succumbing to the darkness and my heart stopped beating. I could only think of Buffy soon joining me before her time along with Hermione. I swam back to consciousness and realized I am surrounded by fire and strong magic. I open my eyes to see that the things in the chamber I'm lying in look a lot different. I'm certainly not dead. Then I realize what happened. I had my first burning day. I look down and I am indeed the size of a baby.
"Bugger," I say aloud in a rather high pitched voice.
I start the specialized time dilation spell that will allow my body to age quickly without my mind experiencing the time difference. It will take me a few minutes to be back to my previous physical age. With that done I look up for Buffy. The Master is definitely gone. When I look over and see Buffy my breath catches in my throat. Standing over my wife who is lying face down in a puddle is what can only be the angel of death. She is beautiful with an ethereal glow about her.
I must have never been developed enough before my burning day to see her as she took a soul but I saw that she was about to take my wife's.
"Over my dead body," I said as I stand up on tiny legs.
Realizing that I'm still wearing my charmed battle suit that adjusts to my size I levitate myself up to eye level with death.
"You can have her over my dead body," I scream at the fey.
I can feel my body flooding with my power. The cavern shakes with it. I've never allowed myself to let my powers loose this far since coming into the hallow power and my animagus form. Even now I hold back.
"That can be arranged. Her fate is chosen," death intoned as she observed the soul bond, requiring the death of this one as well.
"You'll find that I'm harder to take than you think…besides fate owes me one…more than one."
Death seemed to be prepared to ignore me and reached out to take Buffy's soul. When I saw this I flung out my wand hand where the Elder wand appeared. I felt my power flow through the wand. The cloak of invisibility and the resurrection stone ring started helping the wand absorb more magic from the surrounding environment to amplify my own considerable powers.
Buffy's soul paused from exiting her body into death's grasp. The entire cave was lit with an eerie green light that I now realize was from my eyes glowing with untold power. Death was strong, the strongest thing I'd ever faced. We fought for control for several minutes.
"Impossible. No mere mortal can do what you are doing," death intoned.
"You'll find I'm no mere mortal," I answered back without allowing distraction.
Death's eyes glowed purple with power and I felt like my very being was being examined.
"So you are not…the one who was controlled by fate and used to change the course of human history. You have rebelled against fate and make your own destiny now. You interfere in the fate of others. Be warned. You have changed fate for now but she is not so easy to change her mind all the time," Death stated as she released her grip on Buffy's soul before fading away.
I took that to mean don't go trying to save everyone with my powers. I floated over to my wife and watched as her soul settled back into her body. When she did not immediately wake I almost kicked myself for not casting a diagnostic charm to see what caused her death. Doing so it quickly revealed that she had water in her lungs and that she had some slight blood loss. Her blood is also a lot more magical than before. It's running rich with power that I realize is from the exchange of power the Master performed when he tried to feed off her. He had to give her some of his power when he used hers to release him from his prison…an equalizing. It was much like what Riddle did when he marked me as his equal. They were different types of power which is why he needed hers to unlock his prison wards.
I quickly vanished the water from her lungs and hit her with an enervate. She woke up with a start.
"Harry? What happened?"
"Long story short we both died. We are alive now. We need to go find the Master. How are you feeling?"
"Better. Much, much better…I feel more powerful and like I can sense things better than before."
"The ritual the Master used to unlock his prison left you with some of his power to make you his equal. It would have killed you so it wouldn't have been a problem if I hadn't taken steps to save you. It also probably unlocked some of your slayer powers that would have taken a long time to emerge. We can discuss this later but for now we need to go."
Buffy stood up and got a good look at me. She hadn't before because I was cast in the shadows.
"Harry you're so cute," Buffy squealed.
I was immediately engulfed in a hug by my wife. The next minute or so I was fawned over by my bubbly wife. I'm glad to see that her death hasn't completely changed her personality.
As I apparated us to the school Buffy showed me how unchanged she is.
"This is only temporary right Harry? I mean you'll be older soon right. Cuz I get horny pretty quickly and I don't know if I could have sex with you in this form. I'm going to be really cranky if I have to wait years to fuck my husband."
"Yes honey. It should only take another hour for me to be back to full grown."
"Good."
We soon found the school in chaos. Vamps were everywhere and the hell mouth appeared to be opening in the library. Buffy and I soon zeroed in on the master. He was watching as Hermione did her best to hold off the demon escaping the Hellmouth and protect the others.
"Hello old guy," Buffy greeted as we appeared from my fire flash.
"You! You're dead."
"I'm not so easy to kill. By the way death sends her regards."
Buffy concentrated just like I instructed her on the way here. Because she is now my soul bonded she is now capable of summoning Gryffindor's sword to her. The blade appeared which startled the Master.
I took the opportunity to turn into my still small phoenix form and fly at him.
"A fey! How did you find me so fast?"
The distraction worked perfectly as Buffy cleaved his head off his body from behind. The soul destroying effects of the basilisk venom in the sword meant that he would never plague us again. The soul energies of the demon spirit would dissolve back into the background magic. He would simply cease to exist and not go back to the hell dimension as he would have if killed by most other manners. The Hellmouth closed back up and I turned back to my younger human form. I was rapidly turning into a little boy. Raising the elder wand I cast a massive lumos solarem after concentrating on shielding Angel in the room below.
Every vamp but Angel within a two mile radius was instantly vaporized. When we went back into the library I was fawned over by every female there because of how cute I was as a child. The good news is that it appears any malnourishment or scars I had on my other body wouldn't be coming back with me. Some quick repairo charms later saw the library in tip top shape. We all decided after another few minutes to attend the school dance going on at the Bronze. I presented my lovely wives with two outfits. Hermione wore a periwinkle blue dress I saw her looking at a few days ago. Buffy sported a white one I purchased under the same circumstances. I also gave each girl a wedding and engagement ring I acquired from the Potter vaults. They were from several of my ancestors. They had several protections but could also become invisible at will to keep our secret for now. We all had a blast at the dance.
I was the talk of the town as I took both my wives and Cordy. It was a good night after we saved the world yet again.
Over that summer we spent most of the time as a small family in L.A. with Buffy's dad. Hermione went home for a few weeks to visit her parents. They consider her an adult since she is in the wizarding world. Cordelia opted to stay home with us instead of going to Tuscany with her parents. She actually enjoyed L.A. shopping with Buffy more than all that art. We rented a flat close by where Buffy's dad lived. She again was apparated to sleep with us at night thanks to a muggle repelling ward keeping her dad from finding out.
She needed the stress relief because she had so many nightmares from the master. His hypnotism really messed up her confidence in herself. If Hermione and I weren't able to enter her mind with her permission and show her our love and confidence in her I fear we would lose our bubbly Buffy to a much more serious and hard ass Buffy. With our constant shows of love she was letting out her feelings, usually through lots of tears and cuddling, and moving on. There were still lots of hours spent training. I was the only one able to keep up with Buffy thanks to my Fey physiology. My newly unleashed powers were still a learning experience.
If I learned anything this past summer it is that teenage girls can do a lot of shopping when they are given as much money as I was willing to give my lovers. I will admit I loved having them model lingerie from Victoria secret for me.
Our return to Sunnydale and start of our junior year was as event filled as can be expected from Sunnydale. As soon as we got there we rescued Willow and Xander from a vamp. They told us how Giles buried the Master's bones in a grave in the local yard. Of course that is what everybody but my girls and I thought. I had in fact actually replaced the bones with transfigured duplicates and vanished the real ones. I learned after Riddle used the bones of his father during a resurrection ceremony that it wasn't wise to leave such things lying around.
My caution paid off because the anointed one had gathered vamps in an attempt to resurrect the Master. As soon as they snatched my Cordy for a sacrifice in the ritual they made a mistake. I tracked them to their layer and dusted them while rescuing Ms. Calendar. She was to be another sacrifice. Unfortunately the anointed one slipped off. This time I made sure to let everyone know the bones were destroyed. The only reason I didn't do that in the first place was because I wanted to use them as bait in case someone was stupid enough to try what the anointed one just did. Although I didn't realize at the time they would fuck with one of my girls.
I could definitely see the sparks flying between Calendar and Giles. If they didn't get a move on I would sit them down in a room and tell each of them exactly how the other felt.
That move came a few days later. Buffy, Xander, and myself walked in on Giles trying to come up with ways to ask Jenny Calendar out on a date. We encouraged him to do it and she ended up asking him out to the football game. Our newest problem concerning the supernatural stemmed from Buffy almost falling into a grave the night before when she and I just finished staking a newly risen vamp. Actually there wasn't as much staking as there was me hitting the bastard with a flame charm in annoyance after it interrupted the really great snog I was having with my wife.
It turned out somebody dug the grave up and took the body. Giles believed it was either a flesh eating demon or a magic practitioner trying to create an inferi. We dug up the grave of the third body of the group of girls who were killed all at once in a car crash. The others much appreciated it when I flicked my hand at the grave and the dirt rose up and piled beside the grave, saving them from having to use shovels. It turned out the body was gone.
At the same time as we later found out Cordelia was getting a scare at the school. She was walking away from cheerleading practice when she thought she heard somebody. She even saw some feet from under her car when she bent to pick up her dropped keys. Ever since she got abducted by the vamps I hadn't let any of my girls go out alone without either another one of my girls or some heavy magic protection. As a result Hermione was disillusioned with Cordelia. Hermione had Cordelia hide in a dumpster as bait for the person following them. It turned out to be Angel but Cordelia ended up finding body parts from the three girls in the dumpster.
It took several cleaning charms from Hermione to get Cordelia to stop screaming after getting out of the dumpster. Angel had been coming around more often to see if he could help. I've heard he has been seeing Amy, the daughter of the voodoo witch I killed awhile back. They seemed to make a good couple.
We eventually figured out that two of the guys in the science department were using the body parts in order to attempt piecing together one girl and all they needed was the head. We figured this out when we searched their lockers with some quick Alohamora charms. They didn't show up at school the next day. Buffy and I went to check out Chris' house. He was one of the science guys who lost his older brother Daryl a while back and hadn't been the same since. Chris wasn't home but his rather weird mother let us in.
As was usual procedure when entering an unknown situation I hid under my hallow cloak while taking care to realize that some of our foes still might be able to see or sense me. I was glad I did when the undead and pieced back together Daryl tried to sneak up on my blonde wife. I nixed that plan real quick when I hit him with a silencio and a fire charm. He didn't last long with the amount of power I put behind the charm.
We quickly flame teleported to the school when we got a communication mirror distress signal from Hermione. Eric and Chris had tried to take Cordelia but my other wife had quickly disabused them of that idea with a couple of stunners. When we interrogated them we got the full story. Chris and Eric had brought Daryl back without realizing that he was missing something vital, a soul. They had waited too long and the result was a soulless creature that was basically the remnant brain patterns of the body they reanimated.
Chris was repentant and felt sickened by what they were going to do. The kid was the brains behind the reanimation while Eric just was a sick little bastard. Deciding that Chris had a lot to contribute to the world of medicine Mione and I did some quick wand work. Eric went to the police and confessed to cutting up the dead girls. He was quickly arrested after showing them what he had done with the bodies. Chris was let go with the condition he went into medicine and never tried anything like this again. As an added precaution I rewired his subconscious mind a bit. If he did revert to his old ghouling ways his brain would shut down and kill him.
I didn't think about it until later but I suspect that the absence of the soul in Daryl itself might have not been so much the problem as the energies from the Hellmouth. They probably tried to replace his soul, twisting him. It was a moot point now because we would never find out.
Sunnydale soon got a new arrival in the form of a vamp slightly younger than Angel named Spike. Our first encounter with him was at the Bronze when he tricked Buffy into attacking one of his lackeys and slaying him. He did this just to introduce himself. I suspected he was in with the anointed one so instead of killing him outright after he threatened my wife I hit him with a tracking charm while invisible.
Unfortunately it appeared he had some magical protections or at least knew how to get them to wear off because the tracking charm proved useless. St. Vigias was soon approaching. It was on Saturday and was supposed to be a big hunt fest for the vamps. Buffy got in trouble for missing classes and some other minor infractions. Principle Snyder assigned her and another girl to handle the refreshments and decorations for the upcoming parent teacher conferences. I conjured anything she wanted me to and had the food catered.
When it came time for the conference Snyder tried to tell Joyce Summers some not so nice things about my wife. He found himself unable to say anything but good things after I used a little mind manipulation on him. Buffy is actually one of the top students in her class. Hermione and I both agreed that due to her being the Slayer we would help her. Hermione and I both have perfect recall with our memories thanks to occlumency. We can take answers directly out of the teachers' heads. That usually isn't necessary because the teachers usually test over book material which we can read easily.
Hermione and I used our legilimency to organize Buffy's mind for her and put the answers of the test problems and homework problems directly into her mind. As a result she is doing quite well in school. She just doesn't have the time to devote to slaying and school work. Shortly after Snyder's failed attempt at getting Buffy in trouble Spike and a cadre of vamps crashed the party. I slipped out of view and became invisible while the rest of the people quickly ran for cover in the class rooms and so forth. Buffy made sure her mum was safe.
Spike's plans went south quickly when his vamps started getting dusted in balls of fire for no apparent reason. The vamp proved that he wasn't as stupid as most of his kind when he managed to slip out of the school before I could dust him. I'm not too worried because Buffy and I would get him sometime. Snyder convinced people that the vamps were gang members on PCP.
A few days later I came home to find Buffy and Hermione in a hot 69 that got me hard instantly. Instead of joining them and therefore interrupting them I went in search of Cordy. I found my sex toy in the library reading a book. She graced me with a radiant smile as I walked in.
"Hi Harry."
"Hey Cordy."
"Anything I can help you with?"
"Yeah," I said as I pointed at my boner.
Insert Smut Scene here
The next day at school we went on a field trip to the local museum. Besides a delinquent guy that Willow tutors misbehaving it was rather uneventful, or so we thought. It turned out that same guy went missing and we figured out that he likely ran afoul of a mummy exhibit after Buffy and Xander joked about it happening. On the Hellmouth anything that was improbable became probable. We went to the museum and found a broken seal that was used to bind the Incan mummy. Before we could do much else a blade wielding man jumped out at us. Before anybody could blink he was stunned on the ground and tied up with ropes.
"Thanks," I said to Hermione referring to the rope charm she hit him with after I stunned him.
"No problem," she replied as she revived him.
We both dove into his mind to find out why he attacked. It turned out he was charged with guarding the mummy so it didn't awaken. I obliviated any hint of us from the caretaker's mind before freeing him to send him on his merry way. After informing the others of what happened we split up until the next day. Giles would go research the mummy while my girls and I left to pick up a South American foreign exchange student that Joyce Summers had invited to stay at Buffy's house. We arrived to find that Impada had met a foul end. We found this out when a sexy looking South American female walked up and claimed to be Impada without any luggage.
The problem was she had no luggage. If that wasn't suspicious enough then the fact that she was supposed to be male was. A quick look into her mind revealed that she was a life sucking mummy. There are many types of mummies. Most are relatively easy to destroy for a wand wielder. Hermione got Cordy and Buffy to step back behind a quickly erected shield as I hit the mummy with an overpowered Incendio charm. She was ash very quickly. After that we popped over to the school to tell Giles that the mummy was no longer a problem, much to his relief.
The next night my girls and I attended a costume dance held at the Bronze. As usual I was the envy of all males there with my three lovers on my arm dressed up very nicely. They had taken Willow and gotten themselves manicures and all dressed up at my expense. It was well worth the money with how smoking hot they were. Xander couldn't help but agree with me at how spectacular his girlfriend, Willow, looked. Willow is already starting to look a lot more like the picture I showed Xander of her from when she gets older.
A few days later Buffy and I were sparring in the library under Giles watchful eye. He was being a bit overbearing in his duties so I reminded him that Buffy performed her Slayer duties completely of her own free will. If he brought up the prophecy I pointed out that it's impossible to predict the future. Prophecies are just a guide point of how to achieve a possible future. They are glimpses into one of the infinite realities that exist parallel to our own. There is a reality for every possible outcome to every possible situation throughout time. Prophecy wasn't a concrete subject. It was thinking that prophecies are fact by the Watcher council that got most slayers killed before they were twenty. They didn't have to follow a prophecy like the one which almost got Buffy killed facing the master. It's my goal to make sure my wife doesn't meet such an end.
After school that day we were sitting outside chatting with Willow and Xander when Buffy was approached by two frat guys who went to a nearby college. When the one started using his charm on her I got real pissed and swept his mind. What I found really set me off. These two guys are part of a cult which sacrificed high school girls to a snake demon. The one using his charm chose Buffy. Buffy apparently contacted my other wife over the enchanted mental communications bracelet they all wore because Hermione soon showed up and assessed the situation.
She wasted no time erecting a strong notice me not charm around us all. I myself wasted no time in conjuring two stakes. Tossing one to Buffy we both staked a frat boy in the heart. They died with blood coming out of their mouths. We quickly explained to Willow and Xander what the fraternity had been doing. From there we apparated back home and got geared up before paying a visit to the frat house. We took the two we'd already killed with us. We went through the house methodically exterminating each of the animals that masqueraded as humans. Then we went into the basement and sent a Fiendyfire animal down the cistern where the snake demon lay hibernating at the bottom.
The creature's dying screams was the music we used as Hermione and I made it look like a ritual suicide. Over the course of the next few days the internet news Willow and I monitor showed that the CEOs of several large companies and just about any former member of that fraternity met a gruesome end. Dealing with that type of demon always came back to bite you in the end.
Soon Halloween arrived. I conjured the costumes for all of us Scoobies, as we had taken to being called recently. Willow joined my lovers as a witch. They weren't the ones from muggle legend or the ones even from my world. They were dressed as sexy skin showing witches. I went as a wizard but I wore my basilisk hide battle suit instead. Our wands were generally the only thing that coincided with legend. Xander dressed as a soldier after I conjured him an actual working assault rifle. It never hurt to have such protections in Sunnydale.
The night turned weird when a good number of the trick or treaters turned into what they were portraying. I could feel the wave of magic wash over them, similar to the feel I get when I transfigure something. We Scoobies immediately went to Giles and explained the situation. It didn't take us long to figure out that the people who changed all got their costumes from a new place called Ethan's something or other.
We went there and when we entered the back room it was to see an eye glowing statue of a Greek god that had magic pouring off it in waves which matched the feeling emanating from all over Sunnydale.
"Wait outside guys," Giles told us as Ethan walked out of the back.
I could see the flash of recognition in his eyes as he saw Ethan so I herded the others out but not before casting monitoring charms in the room. We all went out to the nearby alley where I conjured a mirror on the side of the building and cast the matching charms to project what was going on in the back room. We all watched as a side of Giles which he apparently worked hard to restrain came out. He apparently used to be known as Ripper.
"Woh Giles has a dark side," Xander exclaimed.
"Yeah I like it," Buffy answered.
I couldn't help but admire his interrogation technique. With how easy Ethan folded it was simple to guess that he knew what Ripper is capable of. Ethan told Giles how to release the spell but while Giles was doing that Ethan used a teleportation spell to escape. All in all it was an interesting Halloween night that ended with my witches and I naked in bed after mind blowing sex as usual.
Life is sometimes weird and tricky but I don't believe in coincidence, especially where it concerns my blonde wife and I. When it comes to us chosen ones fate is always involved with what goes on in our lives. So when an old school chum of Buffy's showed up at Sunnydale high with a story that his father just got transferred here and he was going to finish out his senior year here I didn't believe him. A quick scan of his mind revealed what his real motives and plan were. He had brain tumors that would slowly and painfully kill him. He was bartering Buffy's life and many other lives for his own. He actually wanted to become a vamp and let a demon kick his soul out.
I have two options in a situation like this. I could kill him quickly or I could cure him. I suppose the other option would be to ship him off without curing him but that would just mean he'll use other mystical means to cure himself by bartering another innocent's life. My life has always shown me that there are many shades of gray and very little black and white. I'm trying to get over the knee jerk reaction of killing any threat to my family. As such I slipped him a specialized shrinking solution that would shrink the tumors until they disappeared. Another potion boosted his immune system so that he wouldn't get cancer again anytime soon.
After that I sent him on home without any memory of Buffy as the Slayer or his time in Sunnydale. He is now back living with his parents in Emery where Buffy use to go to school. I also paid a visit to his former friends that he was willing to sacrifice for his assured survival in a somewhat diminished form. They worship vamps until I altered their minds to fear them instead.
The truly sad thing which this affair brought forward for my wives and I is the emphasis on the fact that wizard kind has the ability to cure most if not all muggle illnesses with simple potions and spells but they don't. I think in a few years I might fund a private clinic that does such a thing. Hell I could even send out teams of wizards and witches to go from hospital to hospital curing illnesses and taking a small fee from the patient. Those who couldn't pay would be picked up by the profits from the rest. Even if every patient only paid ten to twenty dollars more than supplies and work it would be a staggering profit with the numbers involved. In fact I think setting such a venture up will be something I'll handle in my spare time. They will of course have to be kept from any knowledge of magic. Simply saying it is a new herbal remedy will suffice.
Buffy took the news that one of her former school mates was willing to offer her as payment surprisingly well. I just wouldn't want to be one of the vamps or demons she ran into anytime soon. Better them than me.
Soon Giles' past as Ripper came back to haunt him in the form of a demon he and his friends summoned to our dimension as a kids in order to feel the high it provided while possessing them. We Scoobies found this out when Ethan Rayne, the costume shop owner who cursed his costumes, showed back up in the library. Buffy cornered him and got him to tell us about some of Giles' past as Ripper. It turned out they all shared the mark of Igon, the demon.
While Buffy was talking to Giles on the phone to ask him about the mark a possessed cadaver burst in through the window to kill Ethan. I banished the thing into the steel cage the library held. Soon Giles showed up. Ethan was stuck in a chair and the former Ripper emerged as he interrogated his old friend.
"You guys were summoning demons," I stated more than questioned as I realize what is possessing the corpse.
"Oooh…this one is smart Ripper. Where'd you find him," Ethan asked.
"Just you don't mind him," Giles replied as he tightened his grip on Ethan's scalp making the captive wince in pain.
"Do you know how to get rid of it for good," Cordelia asked.
I just looked at my lover.
"Cordy do you think if they knew that we would even be having this conversation," I asked her.
"No," she replied as she flushed in embarrassment at the obvious answer.
"Harry is correct. We don't know how to rid ourselves of our foolish youth. We tried every exorcism ritual we could find," Giles stated.
"Everything you could find is by no means everything I can. Hermione shield," I stated and commanded as I activate the hallows and start to draw from my phoenix powers.
The room is flooded with an eerie green light from my killing curse green glowing eyes as my power fills me. Hermione is already casting a shield to protect herself and the others. My lower half was invisible with the hallow cloak around it. I look like I have no torso with just floating arms and a head. The resurrection stone ring is glowing a dark black. My Elder wand is brimming with power as a green light fills the tip.
For the first time since the demon has been trapped in the cage its eyes widen in actual fear as it senses the power of the fey known as death in me. I don't even verbalize the exorcism as I focus my intent on banishing the demon back to the hell dimension it came from with the power of death. The entire room is flooded with a green light so bright the others shield their eyes. When it disappears there isn't even a body left.
"Now that's what I'm talking about," Xander says with awe filled eyes.
"What are you," Ethan asked me with awe and fear in his voice.
"It doesn't matter. You won't be leaving this room with your memories of this little visit intact," I replied.
By his seemingly uncaring attitude at the mention of me altering his memories I know he is up to something. A quick glimpse into his mind reveals he is wearing an enchanted necklace that will block memory modification magic. I cancel the enchantments without him noticing.
"Now the demon found its way back to this dimension through your marks," I answered as I walked over to first Giles and then Ethan and removed their marks by running my wand over them.
Magical tattoos can only be removed by magical means. I'd learned the charm to do so after a drunken night a few years back had ended with me getting a tattoo proclaiming that Dumbledore liked to mess with little boys and that was why Riddle was so pissed off at the world. No matter how much I agreed with it I didn't want my body to be used as the billboard for the message.
"Thank you," Giles told me after I removed the mark that was haunting him.
"Yes thank you for taking care of that little demon issue," Ethan stated with his usual devious attitude.
"No problem. Obliviate," I said with a smirk.
I then charmed his binding ropes into a portkey and set them to disappear upon arrival at his shop. With that he was whisked away.
"That seems like a good way to deal with him," Willow announced.
"Yes he is rather annoying. Why did you ever hang around him Rupert," Jenny Calendar asked.
"In my defense I did a lot of foolish things in my youth."
"That's not much of a defense Giles," Buffy replied.
"No I suppose it isn't."
That disaster was diverted with minimum fuss and I hear that Jenny and Giles had a blast that weekend. I may have slipped them both stamina potions in their coffee before hitting them with some lust charms. What can I say…I like seeing people get together. Besides maybe Jenny can get Giles to stop being so uptight.
A career fair soon arrived at Sunnydale high and the event depressed my blonde wife. The statistics of Slayer life spans were enough to depress anyone who was handed that fate. The good news is that it was unlikely any harm would come to her or any of my wives for that matter with me around. I'm not one hundred percent sure yet but when I look at the souls of my lovers and my own I can see deep and strong bonds slowly forming from the initial connect we made. If I have to hazard a guess at the nature of the bond I would say it is like a Horcrux but without the insanity that soul splitting causes.
These are connections between intact souls unlike the Horcrux method. It's not just with me the girls are forming bonds but with each other. I believe that this means as long as one of us Potters (and Cordy) is still alive the rest of us can't die. It's not something I want to put to the test but it's nice to have it there. I can only guess that this is either another one of my powers as the master of death or as a phoenix fey. Whatever the case having the power to make my lovers unkillable is rather nice.
Hermione's own research into alchemy and the philosopher's stone has lead to the creation of a onetime dosage which completely freezes the drinker's aging. She adapted the original to alter the drinker's DNA and magic in their soul. The soul feeds the body enough magic to halt the aging process. It even works on muggles. Flamel and Dumbles couldn't do it because it is unlikely they knew enough about DNA to alter it because DNA is a muggle concept. We slipped Giles and Jenny a dose of the age halting elixir. We don't need to take it for several years yet.
To cheer Buffy up I decided to take her on a one on one date at a nearby ice skating rink. When I gave her the deed to the rink as a further present the cheering was complete. My blonde wife used to love ice skating. Watching her glide around in her skin tight pants with her leg muscles working made me love her ice skating as well. The evening was somewhat marred when an assassin from the order of Turaka tried offing Buffy. He obviously didn't get very far with me there. After banishing a conjured spear through him I recognized his ring identifying him as a Turakan assassin.
I'd begun committing many of Gile's tombs to memory at the beginning of this school year with the aid of my occlumency which is how I recognized the ring. Giles was rather upset when he found out who was now after his slayer. Luckily with the wards around both Buffy's and my own house nothing that meant her or her mother harm was getting in. The ward stones I used to create the protections were quite large, of the highest quality, and regularly filled with my own excess magic. Every evening before I go to bed I go into my basement and charge a splitting stone which distributes my excess magic between the two houses.
Wards are as strong as the power they contain. Considering how powerful I am ours are pretty damn strong. Just in case the wards weren't enough we had Buffy sleeping at my house where she is surrounded by a very powerful witch and wizard. Joyce is away in LA for art gallery business.
All the same I set out when my wives were showering and getting ready for school to meet with a contact that would be able to help me.
"Do you think you can find them," I asked Angel as he prepared to leave.
"I should be able to. If I know Spike, and I do, then the money he is using to pay the bounty is from those they've killed for food. It won't be as much as you're offering. I'd say no more than 10,000. These assassins are like leaches that will kill anyone for that small an amount of money," Angel responded.
Angel is going looking for the order for me. The best way to beat a hit is to offer more money for the person that contracted the hit on you. I don't mind dropping 20,000 for Spike considering my expanded investments make that in interest in a single day. I've really expanded my investment portfolio since coming to Sunnydale. Something most other wizards wouldn't think of is using the mind arts to get insider information. It's not monitored by the Mages even in America. For all their better relationship with the mundane world even they don't monitor the businesses, leaving it to the mundane government.
If all else fails I'll drink a bit of Felix Felicias and buy a mega millions lottery ticket. I don't really need that much money so I save the liquid luck for when I really need it. All of my lovers and I carry a vial of the gold fluid with us for special times, although my instincts generally provide me with enough luck. Second sight is very handy when you're a chosen one, something that has saved both Buffy and my own life many times.
It would take Angel a few days to track down the Turaka assassins to pay them the twenty grand. Angel himself was willing to do this for free to help the Slayer. I know he has harbored a soft spot for my wife for some time but he seems generally happy with Amy. He keeps the budding witch on the straight and narrow and she seems to generally make him happy. He's allowed to have happiness after I overrode the gypsy curse and strengthened the bonds his soul has with his body. If things continue to go well for the couple I might slip her a dose of the immortality elixir so he doesn't have to turn her.
Of course I take care of my friends and make sure they are taken care of. For helping me Angel gets three things. First he gets 20,000 to make it easier on him to live a normal life. Getting a job is kind of hard for vamps, although most just steal the money. Second I enchanted a ring for him that makes him capable of traveling in the sunlight. It basically acts like a mega dose of sunscreen. He won't even feel any discomfort. It is something I've been thinking about doing for him for a while but I had to make sure I can trust him. It's pretty much impossible to read a vamps mind so I had to do it the old fashioned way. Of course that doesn't mean I haven't set the ring to lose its enchantments should Angel's soul ever depart his body. It will keep it from falling into other's hands and it will also make sure if Angelus makes an appearance he isn't given a huge advantage.
Lastly I gave him a blood stone. A blood stone is mythical among vamps mostly because it takes them millennia to enchant one with vamp magic or some seriously difficult rituals. Their magic is different and much smaller compared to a wizard's. Basically the stone provides enough blood permanently conjured for a couple of vamps on regular feeding intervals. Getting donated blood can be quite difficult. Needless to say Angel was quite grateful.
A new Slayer named Kendra showed up in an attempt to stop some new evil her watcher predicted was coming. Kendra for some reason thought I am a vamp because she saw me talking to angel. The rooky didn't last more than a second after she attacked me before she went down to a stunner. After talking things out in the school library Giles and her watcher decided she would work with Buffy. They didn't seem to get along at first but were slowly growing on each other.
That next day at school an assassin tried to attack Buffy. Buffy's optimal career from some stupid test happened to be law enforcement (mine was businessman). When she identified herself at the law enforcement table the assassin dressed as a cop opened fire with her hand gun. Kendra and Buffy fought the female assassin. I took advantage of the distraction to slip up behind her and snap her neck. She had already managed to shoot Oz, a really nice musician classmate, in the shoulder. It was technically self defense. Besides I have a very good attorney on retainer after my dealings with the British wizarding judicial system. Although I didn't have to worry because the cops ruled it self defense.
It didn't hurt my reputation as someone not to fuck with that I did so in front of the entire school. We discovered that the evil that the town was about to experience was Drusilla being returned to full health. These two vamps are really starting to get onto my nerves. We found out that the ritual needed to restore Drusilla to health involved her sire, meaning Angel, in a way that would lead to his death. I wasn't too concerned until Kendra admitted to locking him up in a cage exposed to the sunlight.
He couldn't be toasted with that ring on but if he'd been locked up for as long as I suspect he'd be weak as hell from not eating all day. He'd left the blood stone in his apartment in a heavily warded compartment I created for him. Only he and I can access it so no other vamps can.
About this time I got an alert from the wards around Buffy's house that an assassin demon had tried to enter. The bug demon had been fried to a crisp when it tried to force entry. To find Angel we went back to the bar Kendra locked him up in.
By now with all the attempts on the lives of my friends I was not very happy. So when I read in the bar keep's mind that he sold Angel to Spike and wanted to do the same to Buffy I took him into a back room and crucioed the little bastard without using a silencing charm.
"Your boyfriend scares me," Kendra told Buffy.
"Oh he's just a big softy," she replied with a smile.
"Well I suppose not so soft all the time. He gets really hard when...," Buffy trailed off as she realized she was talking about our sex lives to a virtual stranger.
About this time I came out of the back room and we apparated back to the library for reinforcements. I got the location of Spike and Angel from Willy's, the scum bar keep, mind. After we all suited up for battle we attacked the abandoned church where they were going to perform the ritual.
Spike sufficiently pissed me off by now so that everybody went in under extreme stealth charms. This meant they were without scent, invisible, and soundless. Now sneaking up on vamps under normal invisibility spells is not wise but considering the magic the ritual was throwing off and the concentration Spike paid to it, it wasn't an issue. I staked Spike in the back of the heart before he even knew I was there. Buffy took care of Drusilla while the rest of the Scoobies and Kendra took the remaining vamps. It was all over in a matter of seconds.
Angel was very happy to be free and alive. I took our friend back to his apartment and made sure he would be ok. He'd be a picture of health (well for a vamp) in a few days with the blood stone. The rest of us had an impromptu party in the library after we rid the world of Drusilla and Spike. There was drinking and much merriment. I got tired of the eyes Giles and Jenny were making at each other so hit them with a lust spell. We could hear their sounds of fucking through the wall. Jenny turned out to be a screamer.
"But a watcher isn't supposed to be capable of having fun," Kendra said in astonishment as she heard Giles.
"Their human like the rest of us," Buffy answered.
"No matter how much of a weapon the watcher's council wants to make a chosen one we're all only human," I told her.
"Hmmm...I think I will endeavor for more fun," Kendra replied in her Jamaican accent.
The next day we shipped Kendra off back home with her on much better terms with my wife.
It was a few days later that we Scoobies walked in on a surprising sight in Buffy's kitchen. Joyce was kissing some man. It turned out that Joyce had a boyfriend. Ted seemed like an ok guy and I thought he probably was if the wards let him in the house. Still because I'm paranoid and this is my mother in law we are talking about I scanned his mind. Imagine my surprise when I find his mind isn't there.
Alarmed on a whole new level I activate my soul sight abilities and find he doesn't have one.
"Buffy, Xander, Cordy, Hermione, and Willow carefully maneuver yourselves and Joyce away from Ted without letting on that anything is amiss," I sent telepathically at my friends.
Over the next minute or so they managed to do so. Hermione's wand was ready to be called at a moment's notice.
"Ok Ted what the hell are you? I know you aren't human," I addressed him much to the shock of Joyce.
Ted's whole countenance all of a sudden changed from kindly to murderous. He lunged with surprising speed. If I was human I wouldn't be able to even catch his movement. Luckily for all involved I have enhanced reflexes granted by my fey form. My hand came up at his neck and sliced right through with the aid of the wandless cutting charm I sent right at it, taking his head off in the process.
Everybody stared in shock at the sparking wires that were in place of the flesh which should have been there.
"What's going on," a very confused and shocked Joyce Summers asked.
"Buffy it's time," I simply told her.
She just nodded in response before replying, "Mom I have a long story to tell you."
Several hours later...
"So my daughter is a vampire slayer and her boyfriend is a wizard. Does that about sum it up?"
"Yes mom," Buffy answered her mother.
"Well that does explain a lot of things. So you really did burn down the gym to kill vampires," she said with a sudden smile.
"Yeah," Buffy grinned in return.
"Well I think we're going to have to extend your curfew," Joyce joked.
We all then realized where Buffy got her toughness from. Joyce was given a dose of the onetime elixir of life that night in her coffee. This incident made me realize that Joyce needs a man, and a good one at that. I know of only one good man that I would trust with my mother in law, unfortunately he already has a girlfriend. Rupert Giles had participated in many orgies during his youth. I'm thinking he might be open to a polygamous relationship. Jenny Calendar is a techno pagan witch who had experimented with multiple partners as well. I've peeked into her mind as well. I know she is part of the clan that originally cursed Angel and is duty bound to keep an eye on him. I'm not worried about that. In fact all my lovers know. Something tells me Joyce might be open to it as well. I'm going to have to maneuver them together in the coming weeks.
In the mean time Willow and I have a new toy to play with in the form of Ted the android. We searched his apartment where we found the bodies of his previous wives along with journals from his creator. The original Ted had created an android replica of himself when he knew he was dying. Unfortunately it was pretty flawed. He was obviously smart enough to shield the android from magic induced Electromagnetic fields; otherwise Ted the android wouldn't have made it long in Sunnydale or in Buffy's warded home.
It showed a flaw in my wards which I quickly corrected. It was funny because Willow and I corrected the problem with some of the tech used in Ted's construction. It is years ahead of its time. We designed sensors that would be able to tell if any sophisticated electronics were being used. If they aren't registered in the system then the system would alert the wards. The wards would then increase the magic energy density in that area to a point that no non magical shielding would survive the EM radiation.
Willow was like a kid in a candy store when we brought Ted to my workshop in my basement where we began taking him apart. Android Ted had the original notes on his creation from his creator for us to work with. So many people went missing in Sunnydale on a regular basis that nobody really noticed the android's disappearance beyond the act of adding him to the list of missing persons.
Two days later we started sex ed in health. It was kind of funny listening to the teacher preach about the bad parts of sex. He had obviously never had three beautiful women waiting to take care of his every sexual need. He assigned us to take care of eggs in pairs. I naturally got Buffy as a partner. Cordy and Hermione chose to do theirs together. Later that night I decided to charm our two eggs unbreakable just in case.
Generally speaking the more powerful a magic user is the more sensitive they are to magic fluctuations around them. I am obviously quite sensitive to such things and even more so with my phoenix powers. I woke up in the middle of the night when I sensed a magic fluctuation around me.
A naked Hermione soon joined me in my consciousness.
"Did you sense it," she asked me.
"Yes."
"Where is it coming from," she asked.
"There," I said as I pointed to our eggs.
We were both up and pointing our wands at the eggs in an instant. The eggs aren't fertilized so shouldn't be moving. Our rapid movements woke up a naked Cordy and Buffy.
"What is it," Buffy asked when she saw our alertness.
"The eggs," Hermione answered.
Casting a homonous revealeus told me the eggs didn't belong to a chicken.
"These are Bezore eggs," I announced.
"What are those," Cordy asked for her and Buffy's sake.
They hadn't yet committed most of Giles books to memory like Hermione and I have.
"It's basically a parasitic little demon that takes over its host," Hermione answered.
"Give it a second and the wards will take care of it," I stated as I felt the unbreakable charm give way under the onslaught from the demon's powers.
Indeed there was a flash of light and screech as the wards disintegrated the first egg to break. The second soon joined it. We all climbed back into bed and huddled together.
"So what do we do about them," Buffy asked.
"Well we'll have to go nest hunting tomorrow. They won't hurt any of the hosts yet. They'll probably just take more people over. Hermione and I are immune thanks to our occlumency and I imagine your Slayer powers will keep them from taking you over Buffy," I answered.
"Why am I always the one left unprotected," Cordy asked.

That health teacher turned out to not be at school the next day. It was easy to figure out why when he is the one who gave us the Bezores. He is obviously under the thrall of the mamma. Willow was quickly revealed as under the thrall when she was hit by a homonous revealo. I summoned the creature off her back and killed it with a quick Incendio. The girls and I thought it hilarious when Xander revealed that he hard boiled his Bezore. A quick summoning spell later revealed one more hidden in the library to infect Giles. After its destruction we set off hunting down the nest.
We found it down in the basement of the school in a tunnel dug into a back wall. Something a little more potent than an Incendio charm was called for in order to kill the mamma demon unless I wanted to pour a lot of power into it. So I fell back on the trusty Fiendyfire. It died with screams of pain as it was burned to cinders. As the books said all of the smaller ones died as well from the magical link backwash. Before the victims could recover their wits enough to notice the little creatures I channeled a significant amount of power into summoning them all. A flood of them came into the rock cavern we were in. I quickly burned the bodies. As we left I transfigured the wall back over while Hermione modified the health teacher's memories concerning any powers he saw or the demons.
The next day was Buffy's seventeenth birthday. We decided to throw her a birthday party at my house. I distracted her while the others were setting it up. Besides us core Scoobies Angel and his girlfriend Amy, Joyce, Jenny, and our new friend Oz attended. We ran into some vamps moving some containers on the way and busted them up. A geeky looking one with glasses that Buffy had recently caught looting graves was the first to get staked. We took the crate into the nearby party building where we opened it while the others explained to Oz about vamps. He took it surprisingly well.
A severed arm that was in the crate greeted us when we opened it. I could sense the magic building up in the arm before it sprang at Buffy. My hand snapped up and a physical shield protected my wife.
"What the hell is that," Xander asked.
"She wouldn't have," Angel whispered in horror.
"What is it," Cordy asked.
"It looks like Drusilla's minions are looking for a new leader. It was probably a plan she has had in motion for some time. There is a legend of a demon so powerful that he couldn't be killed. His very touch destroyed anyone with humanity in them. He's pure evil. The Judge had to be dismembered because no weapon could kill him," Angel whispered.
Giles paled at the mention of the demon called the Judge.
I pulled out my elder wand and waved it over the crate before it glowed blue. Tapping it once, the crate disappeared.
"What did you do," Angel asked.
"I sent it somewhere where even I would have trouble surviving," I answered.
"Huh," Xander asked intelligently.
"The sun," was my answer which was probably cryptic for most people there.
Only my lovers know about my phoenix form. As a creature of magical fire a phoenix would likely be able to survive in the sun. It certainly wouldn't be pleasant but it would be survivable.
"That's brilliant," Giles exclaimed.
"Yes it is," Hermione stated.
"Well I thought so. It should be destroyed there but either way no vamps are getting the arm back from there. Now we just need to hunt down the rest of the parts. I can send a few of them to the sun and a few to the dark side of the moon just in case the body could survive the sun," I stated.
First we had the party where much fun was had. My present to Buffy was an expensive nice new car. Of course I've made some slight modifications to it. It actually runs off magic. I disconnected the drive shaft from the engine and instead charmed it to spin whenever the gas is pushed down on. I've managed to do something similar for all other systems. It's charmed with a selective notice me not charm to make it so nobody notices that it doesn't have the normal sounds of an engine running. Buffy was ecstatic about never having to pay for gas.
Tracking down the other parts of the Judge turned out to be rather simple. They were already in a warehouse together. It looked like the arm was the last piece. Whatever protections that kept me from tracking down that location before seem to have dissipated with the death of Spike and Drusilla. I sent the parts off by portkey to where I said I would. We all breathed much easier at another disaster averted.
Jenny Calendar's Classroom...
"What can I do for you Harry," Jenny asked me when I walked in the door.
"You need to stop pursuing angel and fucking with him. He and Angelus aren't the same being," I answered without pause.
"Trying to hide something from a telepath is pointless," she muttered.
"Yes it is."
"You know they won't stop even if I do," she replied.
"Well at least it's not your problem," I told her.
"Fine…I've got a great thing going with Rupert and I'm not willing to screw it up for a century old grudge," she replied.
"I always knew you were smart," I reply as I walk out the door.
Janna Calandesh officially ceased to exist that day. I can deal with any others after my friend Angel. He doesn't need to pay for the sins of Angelus.
On the next full moon there was a big stir as a werewolf showed up in Sunnydale. There are both unfortunate and fortunate aspects for a muggle werewolf as opposed to a magical one. The fortunate aspect for their kind is that the transformations aren't as painful because they don't have magic fighting the infection. This is unfortunate because they often don't know they are a werewolf from so little pain. They will sleep through the first transformation. Waking up naked in the woods is odd but no reason to assume you're a werewolf.
As such we had quite a time tracking down the werewolf. Xander thought it was the school creep Larry and went to interrogate him in the locker room. It took a lot of self control for me not to burst out laughing at Xander's encounter with Larry where Xander found out Larry is gay and accidentally led Larry to believe the same about Xander. I shared this incident with my loves and we all had a great laugh at home about it.
I picked up on Oz's distress when he came into the library the day after the first night of the full moon. He was practically projecting his distress over just finding out he was the werewolf. We called off the search and I helped to install a magically enhanced cage in Oz's house. Hermione could also brew the wolfsbane potion for him. I'm all too happy to pay for the ingredients.
Some of my latest investments have been buying real-estate in Sunnydale. This includes several apartment buildings. I figure they are good investments. I've been warding them against vamps and a good number of demons to make them safer. Being a landlord is a great job for a wizard or witch because if anything breaks most often a simple repairo charm fixes it. My wards give the buildings a good reputation and therefore I get a lot of customers. My good friend Xander has recently taken up residence in one of the apartments rent free.
His parents were abusive drunks. I say were because he requested I modify them a bit with my telepathy skills. They will never touch alcohol again or abuse a child. I wish somebody had done that to the Dursleys when I was younger. I also got Xander emancipated, which wasn't too hard considering he's already seventeen. I know for a fact that he and Willow are having sex so I know they both appreciate him having his own place. Xander helps around the apartment complex he lives in instead of rent. I do the repair work but he makes sure everything runs smoothly.
Jenny Calendar's Classroom...
"What can I do for you Harry," the hot Romany asked me as I walked into her classroom.
"How is your uncle handling your rejection of your clan's plans for vengeance on Angel?"
"Not well. He's sending over my sister," she replied.
"Sister?"
"Yes my twin sister," she replied.
All of a sudden I couldn't suppress a huge grin.
"Twin you say. How lovely. I'll handle your sister," I told her with a full blown grin.
"What do you mean you'll handle her? Oh. You mean you'll seduce her. Do you really think you can handle four Harry?"
"Oh I know I can. I actually think that my libido is growing."
"Wizards are strange creatures," she commented.
"I'm not exactly normal," I told her.
"You do realize that every part of her is identical to me right? That would be like you having sex with me," she asked in a tone that told me she obviously thought the idea was wrong and weird.
"Oh I know. That's what is going to make this so awesome," I replied with a grin.
"What? What do you mean awesome?"
"Well now I don't have to go through with my plans to clone you," I replied as I walked out the door leaving a spluttering Jenny Calendar behind.
Her spluttering turned into shriek as I sent a massive burst of my charm back into the room causing her to orgasm.
I wasn't kidding either. Hermione and I have been working on a way to clone somebody through magic for quite a while. The easiest way is a potion we modified from Polyjuice potion. Putting the DNA of the person you want to clone in and then feeding it to somebody will alter their DNA to match permanently. Then we can copy the person's memories into the clone if we want to. The downside is that pretty much means you're killing somebody else, sort of. I don't even know if you would call that cloning. We haven't used it yet because we're working on doing it from scratch without using a currently living being.
LA Airport Two Days Later...
It wasn't hard to hack the airport's records and find out where and when Sarah Calendar would be landing. It was even easier to disguise my car as a cab. Several compulsion charms ensured that no rental cars were available and no other cabs either. When I saw the identical twin of the hot Romany Jenny Calendar I was hit with an instant erection at what was about to happen. She of course got in my "cab."
"Where to Ms.," I asked to play my part.
"The nearest rental car company or if there aren't any Sunnydale," she replied.
"Yes ma'am," I said driving off.
She even had a drink already. A simple wandless switching spell and the love slave potion was in her drink. She like her sister is a quite powerful techno pagan witch but she still can't sense my kind of magic easily. The fact that her drink is in a sealed container allowed her to not be suspicious. As we drove out of sight of the airport the potion began to take effect. At that point I activated the portkey which happened to be the entire "cab."
We arrived back at my house in my garage. Cordy came out and greeted us, leading the already hot and ready Sarah into the living room. My other two lovers were out doing their own things. I believe Buffy is spending some time with her mom while Hermione is doing the same with her parents. Cordy's parents aren't exactly the nicest people so she tends to live with me. They aren't abusive likes Xander's parents but they just don't care much.
Insert Smut Scene here
Valentine's Day was a huge success. I took all my lovers out to a nice romantic dinner at the nicest restaurant in New York before taking them to a show on Broadway. I brought them home where I gave them each a beautiful gold heart shaped locket with their birth stones on them. The lockets were enchanted with every protection spell I could devise including an emergency portkey. If they were ever injured or wanted to get away they would be portkeyed to a heavily warded room in my basement. The room was an expanded space apartment that had all the provisions. They would be put under a temporary stasis spell if they were injured, just until another one of us could come fix them up.
The wards are so heavy on that room a nuke could be dropped on my house and that room would be fine. I was rewarded for my efforts with a fantastic orgy that night.
I heard Giles and Xander's dates were successful as well. I gave them each a good amount of cash to make Willow, Jenny, and Joyce happy. Their relationships were all thriving as well. Angel wouldn't tell me what he was planning on doing for Amy. The young witch seemed to be happy with him. She was using a bit of magic to get out of homework but I didn't fault her for it, as long as no one was seriously hurt.
For the next week or so things were normal for the Hellmouth. There was the usual vamp activity along with lots of sex for myself and my lovers. Sarah adjusted well. I put her in charge of my new business venture. She would hire several muggleborns from England with lots of experience in healing magic. Muggleborn healers often didn't get anywhere in the English pureblood society so they left the country.
These healers would be registered as muggle specialist doctors and go from hospital to hospital curing illnesses with potions and healing magic. Their passage would be greased with compulsion charms. Their fee would only be ten dollars a patient beyond cost (which wasn't much). Eventually it would need to expand but with ten dollars pure profit per patient it would quickly add up.
The first place we decided to visit (I'm helping her get started) was the Sunnydale local hospital. While there I was picking up some info on the new flu that was going around. Buffy had recently come down with it. I only got her to stay home in bed when I told her I would personally be handling her patrols. While at the nurse's station near a group of sick children with the flu I felt a chill run up my spine and the tingle of demon magic.
Turning around I see one of the demons I recognize from Giles' book collection about to enter the children's ward. This particular demon sucks the life force out of children, making it look like they died of illness. It is a cousin to the dementor. I quickly throw up a notice me not charm and apparate just inside the door to the ward. As I draw Gryffindor's sword I see the demon getting ready to feed off a terrified little girl.
"Hello ugly," I say to the demon as I drop my notice me not charm.
It has just enough time to turn before my sword is cutting through its neck. It drops headless to the ground where I use copious cleaning charms to clean the blood and my sword. After vanishing the body I make sure the kids are alright. They are a bit scared but no worse for the wear. As I leave the children's ward that night I throw up a magical ward to alert me should a demon enter there again.
After getting the information about the specific flu I head back home so I can cure my blonde wife. It's not wise to try curing something which you don't know the specifics of. Wizards usually don't get the muggle flu and other muggle viruses unless they are suffering magical exhaustion. Therefore it's not something healers are too experienced with but the hired ones are adjusting.
A few days later we had a bit of a poltergeist problem at Sunnydale High. Buffy and I first noticed it when we walked upon the scene of a teenager and his girlfriend fighting where the guy pulled a gun on his girl. I could see the magic and Hellmouth energies swirling around them. I recognized the signs of possession right away. Warning Buffy I put a notice me not charm around us and launched stunners at the two possessed people.
As they dropped the spirits left them. Like Peeves at Hogwarts I could see them. Given time I'm sure Buffy's Slayer abilities would adjust her eyesight to the range they are visible in. After they left the gun vanished. A quick enervate made the whole situation as it was before the arrival of the spirits. After Xander was attacked by an arm out of his locker I decided these weren't the prankster type spirits. Dumbledore kept peeves in line but I'm guessing the Hellmouth energies the spirits were tapping into didn't help their disposition.
The spirits were that of a teacher and student. They fell in love and when the teacher tried to break it off the student shot her. Willow looked this up in the archives on the computer. With the amount of Hellmouth energies these spirits have absorbed since their deaths I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that a simple exorcism ritual won't cut it. Spirits and Poltergeists tend to be the souls of the dead who are restless enough to escape death's grip after they are taken from their bodies. The most violent of these become poltergeists.
Death has a hard time finding them after that. An exorcism ritual is like tagging the soul so death can find them. This one would use the Hellmouth energies to make it harder for death to find. I know all of this instinctually as the master of death. Drawing on more of my instinctual knowledge I go to the center of the school and put on all The Hallows. Feeding my power into the artifacts I concentrate on summoning death.
"You called master," the beautiful fey asked as she appeared.
"Yes. There are two very destructive poltergeists in this building. I want them gone."
She looked towards a wall that led to the balcony where the student shot his teacher. Her thousand yard stare soon filled with a look of recognition.
"Ah…Those two…I've been looking for them for close to fifty years. Thank you master," she said as she walked through the wall.
We didn't have any problems with the restless souls after that. My powers are still growing as the master of death. My ability to control the fey with less and less energy and concentration is increasing. I don't know if it will ever stop growing but I'll deal with it. It explains why my libido is still increasing. I suspect that I'll hit a plateau similar to magical maturity. It will probably be at a time proportional to my immortal life span. I'd guess after a few centuries.
Nature tends to follow trends like that. I'll just continue living my life and collecting more women to satisfy my growing needs until then. My current lovers never complain of being unsatisfied. Each of them are currently getting at least three orgasms a day. I suspect one power I might be developing is the ability to make them orgasm at the command of my will. It appears to be at the stage where it is getting easier and easier to bring them to climax. It's definitely not an unwelcome ability.
While attending a victory beach party for the swim team one of the swimmer's skin was found without the rest of the body. Of course this wasn't widely known among the students. The school was trying to keep it hushed up so as to not alarm the swimmers who were on their way to a state championship. Giles of course told us Scoobies.
We didn't know what kind of demon was doing it until Xander witnessed the second attack. I extracted the memory of the creature from Xander's mind. Even viewing it in my pensieve we still didn't know what it was. It was in none of the books Giles or I own. I joined the swim team to see if I could find out why the players were being targeted. It didn't take me long to extract from the swimmers minds that the coach was feeding them steroids in the sauna steam.
Luckily the steroids had no effect on my wizard physiology. The other swimmers weren't so lucky. They had to go through blood transfusions. The coach was charged with murder. The two transformed creatures were put down by me. I got them with killing curses before the authorities got there.
The girls were quite sad to see me quit the team. I had been the fastest swimmer there with the aid of some wandless banishing charms while swimming. They provided me my own cheering section when I wore my Speedo during practice. I just don't see swimming in my future.
The only thing of real interest that happened between the swimming incident and the end of the school year was the local museum finding the demon Acathla. I immediately saw the potential should a vamp or other evil bastard get hold of it. Should they be able to pull the sword from the demon's chest the earth would get sucked into the hell dimension. To fix this potential problem I apparated into the museum as soon as they closed, making the statue a portkey to the sun. That seemed to be a good method to get rid of really powerful demons. Of course the reason why nobody usually used this method is because it takes a hell of a lot of power to make a portkey to the sun. It's especially difficult to make something so infused with demonic energies into a portkey but I'm luckily powerful enough.
Finals were a breeze thanks to the mind arts. Buffy tied with the rest of my lovers thanks to our special help. We decided to spend the summer in L.A. getting Angel and Amy settled in. With the conversion of both Sarah and Jenny to our way of thinking her family would soon be sending more people to carry out their vengeance. The best thing to do is for Angel to leave town. Amy refused to leave her boyfriend.
I bought a hotel in L.A. where I set up a special private investigator business for Angel. Special meaning the kind that deals with things that go bump in the night. A vamp with a soul who is tough enough to bump back is just what L.A. needs.
The first test of the new PI practice came when we noticed homeless people starting to apparently spontaneously age and die in a single day. A quick check of the corpses showed that they aged naturally. This meant that there was a time dilation field effect going on where time went faster inside the field. Hell dimensions were notorious for this effect. We tracked it down to a building where a group of demons had a hell portal. They brought homeless in and worked them for years inside the field before tossing them out on the streets of L.A. when they became too old to work.
They fed off the psychic energy of despair the workers let off. They also made a tidy profit off of the products produced in the metal works. Angel, Buffy, and I went in with swords and beheaded all the demons before freeing the people. We set the system up so that if either Angel or Buffy and I needed backup we could contact each other over enchanted devices. We could get to each other through portkeys I made us.
After freeing all the people I collapsed the hell portal. I also had a real clinic set up to help the homeless. Food, clothing, shelter, and health care was provided at no cost. The shelter wasn't exactly spectacular but it was better than the streets. This was all accomplished at virtually no cost to me through spells. The workers were a couple of ostracized werewolves from Britain. They knew what it is like to live on the streets. The ministry in Britain hadn't allowed the magical werewolves to go to school.
Remus' case of going to Hogwarts was a special case where Dumbledore made it so, so he could gain a liaison to the werewolf community. Some quick tutoring of the weres and providing them with wands and supplies allowed them to be capable of working the magic necessary for their new jobs. They could conjure permanent food (it takes more energy and is often less tasty than regular food unless you concentrate enough) for their charges as well as transfigure any furniture and clothes they might need. Space expansion charms were a must with the numbers of people.
A selective notice me not charm on the door made it so no muggle noticed that there was more space than the outside would allow for. I'm contemplating setting up something similar in other major cities. It would cut down on the humans the bad demons could prey on. My workers were proficient in slaying vamps with transfigured stakes which they could banish at their target. A lumos solarem intense enough to simulate sunlight took a bit more power than most would like to use in a fight. I could use it because I have a lot more power to spare than the average mortal.
We maintained our patrols in Sunnydale but did so in a much faster fashion to keep up with the happenings in L.A. I would apparate Buffy and myself there and we would patrol on my firebolt. Buffy loves riding my broom so didn't mind the arrangement in the least.
When we started our senior year it wasn't much different from the rest. It turned out Oz had skipped the summer classes he was supposed to take after failing his senior year the last time. So he was in our grade with us. It was pretty cool actually. Oz is a really nice guy. I will need to help him get a girlfriend sometime. I know he's harboring a major crush on Willow. If I could find somebody to use my cloning technique on I could make him a girlfriend but it would have to be somebody particularly vile. Well I'm sure somebody will turn up because we do live on a Hellmouth.
One of the traditions that came about as a result of Joyce knowing about Buffy being a Slayer was having the gang over for dinner at least once a week. It always provided a laugh to have Jenny, Giles, Willow, Xander, Cordy, Hermione, Buffy, myself and now Sarah eating a meal together. Sarah and Jenny especially provided a good time now that Sarah was being openly affectionate to the girls and I. Jenny knows I'm fucking her double.
I remember one particular incident well.
"Oh Harry there is this artifact that I got in from my gallery that I wanted to hang in my room. I couldn't seem to get it past the wards. I've got it in my car and I was wondering if you could tell me why the wards won't allow it," Joyce asked me.
"Artifact…What is it and why didn't you tell me," Giles asked her.
"Oh honey I didn't want to bother you with something so trivial. It's a mask from Belgium," Joyce answered.
"Well maybe Giles and I both should go have a look," I replied.
It turned out the mask was tied to a demon and would have led to its escape from hell if it was put on an inferi. Given much more time the mask probably would have started reanimating corpses into inferi. I disposed of it in what I fondly refer to as the anything trash dump, more commonly known as our sun.
"Remind me to have a talk with your mom about bringing home anything that looks like it could be demonic," I later told Buffy.
"I think she has your bad habit for attracting trouble," I added.
"Hey I had to inherit it from somewhere Harry," was her reply.
"I heard that," Joyce shouted.
"Moms can hear everything," Buffy whispered.
I couldn't help but agree in this situation.
About a week later we were sitting in the Bronze to cool down from a stressful day of classes. We consisted of Buffy, Hermione, Cordy, Willow, Xander, and I. Sarah was currently at her sister's house helping her with her lesson plans. Oz was at a gig for his band. We were interrupted from our usual chat when we saw a sexy looking girl in leather head out of the club with a guy that Buffy's Sladar told her was a vamp. We naturally followed and found the girl kicking the vamp's ass before staking him.
It turned out Kendra had a run in with a defibrillator. Long story short she died for a few minutes and was then revived in her local hospital. So a new slayer was called. Faith was a sexy and sassy girl from Boston.
"I can't believe how hungry and horny slaying makes you. You know what I mean," Faith asked Buffy.
Xander and Willow swiveled their heads to stare at my blonde wife at this revelation. The rest of us know exactly how much Buffy's slayer libido kicks in after slaying. After all we often have to be the ones to quench her lusts.
"Oh I know exactly what you mean Faith," Buffy said as she blatantly put her hand on my thigh and squeezed.
"Hmmm...he is tasty looking isn't he. Exactly how many girls are you screwing Harry," Faith asked me.
"Four," Cordelia answered.
"Four! How can he handle that many of you," Faith asked in obvious shock.
Xander was paying rapt attention to the conversation. I know I'm the epitome of what most guys strive for. He may be happy with Willow but that doesn't mean he can't fantasize.
"Well our Harry isn't exactly human. He's a wizard," Hermione answered.
"Hmm...never fucked a wizard. Any chance I can make it five ladies," Faith asked my girls knowing where the real decision rested.
"Well he is getting harder and harder to tire out," Buffy said to my other lovers, squeezing my dick on the word harder.
"I'm game if you guys are," Cordelia said as she gave Faith an appraising eye to which the new slayer returned the heated gaze.
"Sure," Hermione stated her approval.
"Ok Faith you have a trial run…under the table. That is if you guys don't mind," Buffy said as she turned to Willow and Xander remembering that they are present as well.
"No Buff that's fine…free porn. We're all like family anyway," Xander was quick to agree.
Insert Smut Scene
After that we went slaying. As usual I stayed invisible and on my broom unless I was needed. Buffy didn't like to have me hover. If I did that she would never get a kill in. We both soon discovered that Faith had some unresolved anger issues with vamps. She beat one continuously for several minutes without regard of her surroundings. Luckily I was there to back Buffy up. To see if her issues would cause problems later I took a glance at her memories. I discovered that she had to watch her watcher get torn apart right in front of her eyes by a vamp that if the one who just attacked Buffy was correct followed Faith to Sunnydale.
Kakistos was a vamp I remember from the watcher journals is old enough that his hands have hooves due to the demon manifesting itself more fully.
"So Faith where are you staying at," I asked after the vamps were either dead or had run off.
"The Sunnydale motor lodge," Faith replied.
"Like hell you are. You're staying at my place," I told her when she revealed what dump she was living in.
"Ok. Although I should warn you I hog the blankets, eat a lot, and tend to leave towels lying around," she replied.
"Oh that's not a problem. One word, magic," I replied with a grin.
There is no way Faith should be living alone after just having a woman that was akin to a mother murdered before her eyes. I communicated as much to Buffy telepathically and she completely agreed. Buffy and I could both certainly understand why Faith had gone berserk on the vamp.
Our night of action wasn't to end there. Apparently the vamps realized that she was going to leave the location they knew her to be staying in because they made their move. Kakistos himself attacked. I decided that this wasn't a situation to stay in the shadows for because Faith seemed paralyzed with fear by the old vamp. Before he knew it Kakistos lost his head to Gryffindor's sword. Buffy took my example and used Excalibur from the enchanted pocket dimension her belt stored it in to quickly dispatch the rest of the vamps which were in sight.
We both went over and hugged the shocked Faith. The girl broke down crying in our arms. I used a packing spell on her meager possessions before flame traveling us back to my house. For the rest of the night we comforted the girl in a way that she seemed to find the most comfort from. We made slow and passionate love to her. She usually had rough sex but seemed to enjoy the slow and sensuous pace.
The next day Giles contacted the watchers council who agreed that Faith should stay in Sunnydale and help Buffy. The council of course had no idea that Buffy had the aid of a wizard and witch in Hermione and I but they would hopefully never find out.
Another thing that seemed to cheer teenage girls up was shopping. I took them for a day of shopping that weekend wherever they wanted to go (flame teleporting) and paid for it all. It was well worth it when the girls modeled lingerie and seeing Faith in a sexy new wardrobe. There was definitely a lot of leather skirts purchased that day. They were durable and had easier access for more pleasant activities.
Having two slayers needs to satisfy made me glad for my new orgasm ability that I am finally getting a hold on. I suspect my libido will go through more growth in the future but for now its holding steady with all of my lovers.
