Mrs. J.K, My Muse! The Goddess of my dreams… Does it bother you that so many people have naughty dreams about you… is there some fan dreaming about me? Yes, I have fans! Not a lot… yeah, I know, pigs would fly and Hell would freeze over, I still can dream about it, no?

I grinned, "Hermione? How about we give Tonks some inspiration to masturbate on? My Pego needs some worshiping so are those beautiful tits of yours."

9 The hearing.

Hermione shrugged, "I doubt Tonks will get inspiration, Harry, she just started her night shift, patrolling Diagon Alley, and isn't your Pego worshiped enough today? Susan and Hannah worshiped it four times, didn't they?" she removed her pajama top, "I would not mind some attention to my body though, my periods will be over tomorrow or the day after. Now suck my tits, Harry, because soon you will be fucking this bitch."

I chuckled, "More dirty talk from Mum's books, Hermione? Do I have to call you my Slut? Or, come here you Whore, so I can fuck your Udders? Does that turn you on?"

Hermione thought for a bit and answered, "Not really, I don't like to be called a whore. Slut, slag, tramp, or your bitch I can live with. Whore or Cum Bucket or names like that are turning me off. Udders are a definitive NO! I guess I am a soft porn girl."

"There is a name for that? Where is that book?" I asked with a smile, "Come, Beautiful Slut, I need a nipple in my mouth, I bet watching Hannah and Susan letting loose turned you on, you could have had a turn too, you know."

Hermione straddled me, "No, they had you for an afternoon, I can have you the whole night, I could wait for it, Now suck it, bastard."

Yeah, we need to work on our dirty talk, my years under the stairs made me a bit weary of using dirty talk, where is the line between dirty talk and insults? I have a bloody lot to learn. Sucking Hermione's tits was fun, Susan's tits… HUGE! They were quite sensitive too, it didn't take long for Susan to reach the top, she even came twice when I did a titty fuck. Where was I? Bloody hell? That bimbo is singing on her wrecking ball again?

Afterward, we cuddled and discussed the Life Debt situation, Hermione commented, "Maybe that explains why Dumbledore can get away with everything, the whole of Europe acknowledged that Dumbledore saved them from Grindelwald, his Order of Merlin First Class confirmed that debt, his position as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and the supreme Mugwump gave him authority over the Wizarding World."

Hermione looked at me and speculated, "Maybe that made him think he was responsible for leading the Wizarding World and it was normal for him to make the tough decisions. After all, he is the leader of the light, he knows what is best. That he is breaking some laws is because those laws are flawed and needed to be broken to serve the Greater Good."

I sighed, "And people believe him because he is smart, a headmaster of a school is smart by definition, isn't he? Coupled with his two other jobs he can declare that the earth revolves around its axis because he made it so. Maybe it is not a real-life debt, but it made people feel they were indebted to Dumbledore for vanquishing Grindelwald, and he abused that as much as he could. That is why he is signing all his correspondence with all his titles and professions, to remind people of his achievement and positions."

Hermione hugged me, "Let's talk about it with the grown-ups tomorrow, I am sleepy now. Good night, lover."

I bet if I say 'good night Horny Slut' that won't go down well, I'll settle with, "Good night sweetheart." Way better going on her smile.

Dobby woke us up, "Master Harry, Mistress Hermi, Brekkie is ready, Doggy Father and Clumsy be waiting for you."

At breakfast, Tonks complained, "Brat! I know it was you! You stirred a Doxy nest. No, you poked a Dragon Den! Those bastards from the dark faction are kicking up a storm, we had to protect Aunt Narcissa and her spawn, Malfoy Senior is in St Mungo's with severe Cruciatus damage. What did you do yesterday?"

I shrugged, "We cleaned our accounts up, House Black had some defaulters that forgot their payments after Gramps died, yesterday was repo time. Oh, and I might have told them it was Lucius' fault a lot of their offspring have a Life Debt to me."

Hermione commented, "That is debatable, Harry, why doesn't the Wizarding world have a life debt to you for vanquishing Voldemort in 81?"

I thought about it, "Dumbledore cashed in on that debt. He removed me from the Wizarding world, so they could not show their gratitude, I never got any mail, that way Dumbledore controlled that debt. More so when he demanded Guardianship over me and controlled where I would be raised."

I dug in deeper into the Potter debt, "Those Harry Potter books convinced the public that their debt to me was paid because I lived a happy life in a castle with a lot of friends having lots of adventures. People also regarded their debt paid when I accepted their gifts and letters without even a thank you note. Fuck that, you snob! That is what they are thinking about me."

Tonks, "Well, a lot of them are not happy with Malfoy, he was a drooling mess when he portkey'd in St Mungo's, and Narcissa is in protected custody with her brat, she claimed the Lords of the dark Faction invaded her home."

I grinned, "I doubt that Malfoy Mansion will survive Tom's anger at Lucius's second fuck up. Getting the Malfoy Vaults drained, and losing the Black fortune, coupled with all the loans we called in, that is a major blow to the Death Eaters and Lucius took the worst of it."

Sirius laughed, "They probably blame Dumbledore for that, Snape hasn't proved his loyalty yet and I doubt he will be useful for Tom now that Dumbledore's club is disbanded."

Tonks yawned, "Well, I have one more task to do, Hermione, I have to escort you to St Mungo's for that examination with Lady Abbot. So eat up fast."

I said, "Use the floo, Dual apparating sucks big time. I puked my breakfast out when Moody took me to Bones Manor."

Tonks shrugged, "Moody does that all the time with rookies, he makes the trip as uncomfortable as possible. Ah, Sirius, here is the morning Paper, the Brat made the headlines again."

I snapped, "The Brat will start calling her the Bitch from now on. I am famous, I always make headlines don't you know? Boy Who Lived and all that crap?"

Tonks rolled her eyes, "Boohoo, I am famous, I am pitiful, come here, I will change your nappy and sing a lullaby!"

"Oh yeah? Then I hope you can metamorph your vocal cords because right now you sound like a crow." was my response.

"You know it is not too early in the morning to kick your ass, Brat," warned Tonks with lightning in her eyes.

"Then you better be prepared to get yours slapped… on your bare buttocks! Bitch!" I shot back, "No, you might enjoy that… auwah! That was not a stinging hex, you crazy woman! What is wrong with you?"

Tonks bit at me, "You are what's wrong, Brat! Say one more time I am into that, and you will feel what it is like for real."

Sirius was reading the paper, totally ignoring the fight between me and Tonks, the tosser did not even defend me against that Ogre. Hermione was ignoring it too and enjoyed her breakfast, I have no support at all against the Bitch.

Sirius commented, "Amelia's and your visit to the Daily Prophet helped to change their tunes, pup. It is quite refreshing. They even printed the names of the ones who forced them to write the way they wanted. It is no surprise that Fudge and Malfoy are in the Top 5, along with Dumbledore, Umbridge, and Nott."

Sirius turned a page and said, "Ah! They printed your medical examination… and a report of the DMLE was leaked too. It is not an official statement, the investigation is still running, they are not allowed to publish it yet."

Sirius grinned: "I am mentioned too, it is finally getting out that I never had a trial, and… ah, the Blood adoption is mentioned too," Sirius got a bit worried, "Harry, now they will know who called in all those loans."

Sirius skimmed the rest of the article, "I bet this is Moody's doing, he is not happy with Dumbledore and is dragging his name through the dirt. Yes, there it is, hosting a Death Eater for a whole schoolyear polyjuiced as his best friend at Hogwarts… Senile or criminal, Dumbledore can choose which one he prefers."

I shrugged, "I bet both, his Greater Good made him insane. Worship a man long enough and he will start to think he is a God or its messenger."

Tonks yawned again, "I don't care, Hermione, when you are ready we will leave, you can return through the Floo. I have a date with my bed."

I coughed, "With your hand."

Tonks glared at me, "At least the neighbors won't keep me awake this time."

I chuckled, "You wanted to hear us, you perv, you know the silencing spells too, I bet you were rubbing it raw."

Hermione stopped the bickering, "I am done, Tonks, and Harry? Tonks? Can you be a bit nicer to each other? You are family, you know."

Hmm, she is right, I better tune it down, "OK, Hermione, I will be nicer to Cousin Tonks."

Tonks looked up, "Huh? That is all it takes to tame that Brat?"

I snapped, "I will be nicer to you when you do the same, Bitch! Or I will be the one taming you!"

Hermione rolled her eyes, "I see, this is a lost cause. Tonks, I am ready."

When they were gone, Sirius commented, "I suggest you let Dora win a few arguments, Harry. First, she is older than you, second, she is family, one of the few we have left. Third, we have to live with each other for decades, if you let this fester it will break this family apart."

Sirius looked thoughtful as if he remembered something, "You are using Dora to vent your anger and frustrations. I used to do that on Snape, he acted as a git, and I used that as an excuse to torment him like I was tormented at home."

He looked at me, "I realized that when you called him out for being a bully like his father bullied him. It is a vicious circle, isn't it? The phrase Like Father like Son is common enough to have some truth in it."

Sirius sighed, "We better make some appointments for a mind healer, Harry. Ten years in a cupboard and thirteen years in Azkaban have messed us up. We have to face our past or our future will suffer for it. Dora has some inner demons too, being a Metamorphmagus made Hogwarts not a happy place for her either."

I groaned, "You are right, Sirius, Tonks was an easy target to vent on, and I let it escalate, I will apologize when she returns."

Xxxxx

An hour later Hermione and Tonks returned, Tonks decided to wait until the examination was finished. Before Tonks could say a thing, I said, "Tonks, I am sorry, I vented my frustrations out on you to make me feel better. You are my family and you deserve better than this. Can we start over?"

Tonk's face went through a lot of emotions, then her shoulders sagged, "I was doing the same with you, Harry, I used that bucket of cold water as an excuse to be angry at you. Then you overturned my view on life, what I thought was good turned evil, and you were easy to vent on too. We can start over if that is what you want."

I asked, "What do You want, Tonks?"

Tonks shrugged, "Did you ever try to scream out all your frustrations on a cliff or at a beach? It makes you feel better for a while, I used you to be my cliff or beach."

That is food for a mind healer, I asked, "So, just to be sure, if I am your cliff, I can use you to be my Beach?"

Tonks nodded, "I can live with that."

I grinned, "Then, my Bitch, go to bed and pretend to stand on my cliff when you scream rubbing yourself and thinking of me."

Tonks scoffed, "I have better fantasies than dreaming of you, Brat. I bet I had better shags than you too."

I nodded, "True, I never had one yet, not for much longer though. Goodnight, Tonks, dream of me, will you."

Tonks shook her head, "Better not, that would be a nightmare. Later, Brat." and went upstairs.

Hermione looked at a slack-jawed Sirius and asked, "What just happened? Did they agree to keep on bickering?"

Sirius came to his senses, "I never expected that outcome, I wanted those two to stop fighting, not make it worse."

Hermione sat down and reported on her examination, "Harry, Sirius, I was a mess, there were traces of long-lasting compulsions and potions in my body, most prominent was a loyalty potion keyed to Dumbledore. Mrs. Abbot called Moody in and let him collect some Half-Bloods to find traces of that potion."

She laughed bitterly, "Being a Mudblood, I have no rights, it was not reason enough to get him arrested. It would not raise a pure blood's eyebrow if news got out about that potion."

I hugged her, "We are going to change that, love. We just have to get more pull in the Wizengamot."

Hermione shook her head, "With what? Your Potter-Longbottom Alliance? Do you think McMillan or Smith will move a finger for muggleborns? Who else do you have? Bones and Abbot, that is not enough, Harry, not even with House Black. It is the whole mentality that is messed up."

I groaned, I was trying to avoid that direction of this story of my crappy life, "Sirius? Is there something like the right of conquest?"

Sirius nodded, "There is, that way you can claim that carcass of the Basilisk for example."

I asked, "What about the last Heir of a house that wants to eliminate the last surviving Heir of an enemy House but gets killed instead? Can that Heir Claim that enemy House as a right of Conquest?"

Sirius swore, "Like the Heir of Slytherin trying to eliminate House Potter?"

"Slytherin and Gaunt, Sirius," I corrected him, "He is the last surviving Gaunt too."

Hermione asked, "There must be books about that, do you have any about Noble customs, Sirius?"

Sirius nodded, "Mother forced me to read them, I never got past page ten before I was bored out of my mind. I'll get them for you."

Hermione said, "I'll ask Susan and Hannah to come over and help."

Xxxxx

The rest of the day was spent on researching stuffy old customs, it is amazing what Magic can do, the Goblet of Fire is a good example, how can that cup decide who is best at Magic? Is it possible that the Goblet is enchanted to let Magic choose the best candidate from the names that are in that Goblet? That would make a lot more sense than letting a Goblet pick someone.

Susan found something interesting, "The heirs need to be sworn in at the Wizengamot before they can claim their Lordship, the oath to claim the Lordship includes a part of loyalty to the crown. Strange, I read the oath I need to say when I claim to be Lady Bones, that part is not in it. When did they change that Oath?"

Sirius said, "That book is the oldest, it is from the time the Wizengamot was founded. Something must have changed that."

Hannah speculated, "Probably at the witch hunts and the statute of secrecy, a lot of high nobles were eager to poke that to gain power. That was also the time Britain changed from Christianity to Protestants. Although both religions were active witch hunters."

An hour later, Hermione remarked, "That Oath to the Crown was still included in the eighteenth century, this book is from 1784, made to include the changes the American Revolution brought along. It said only Wizards that live on the British Islands need to swear to the Crown from now on."

She looked up and asked, "What if that oath is still required? When did they drop that part? I doubt the crown would allow them to drop that part of the Oath."

I asked, "What will happen when someone makes the original Oath again? That would start a riot, don't you think?"

Sirius commented, "Look in books from around the First World War and the Grindelwald War. I think those two Wars started the Pureblood movement."

An hour before Dinner, Susan said, "I found it! In 1946 the loyalty line was made optional due to the high losses the Wizards suffered being conscripted into the war. A comment on the sidelines said that most of the dark faction refused to swear that line from after the first war."

Susan stood up, "I have to go home to check something, we have books that record all the major laws that are voted at the Wizengamot. Such a change must have been recorded if it was voted on. Dobby? Can you take me home please?"

Xxxxx

At dinner time Susan returned, she reported, "I checked from 1940 to 1950, no such change is voted on according to the books. This means that the part of Oath to the Crown is still required to be a valid Oath."

I asked, "I swore to accept the ring with all its duties and benefits. Does that mean I automatically swore loyalty to the Crown?"

Sirius nodded, "That ring is at least eight hundred years old, pup, it must be included."

Kreacher popped in, "Dinner be served in twenty minutes, young Master, yous be cleaning up first."

When we went to our room to freshen up, I knocked on Tonks's door, "Tonks! Dinner is ready in twenty! Stop doing unspeakable things!"

Ah, I heard a lot of swear words, she is awake. I heard Hermione say to Susan and Hannah when they walked into her room. "I'll explain it…"

Xxxxx

When dinner was over, Hermione said, "Enough research, the ballroom and music room are cleaned, so we are going to dance."

"Uhm, Who are you? What have you done with the real Hermione? The real one would never discard her books." I joked.

Hermione huffed, "The real Hermione does, Harry, to turn what she read into practice, and she wants to dance."

Susan grinned, "So do Susan and Hannah, but you better change your Music box, we got an earful when we came home an hour late and we had to explain why."

Hannah huffed, "Mum gave me a hard time over it when I said I slept in the same bed as Harry. She gave me another version of the Talk… with pictures. Harry, no kids for me the first ten years, some of those pictures were nasty."

Tonks followed us to the Ballroom to watch the show, an enchanted piano that desperately needed tuning played a Waltz, and I was counting, in myself, one two three, one two three, turn the other way… no... that was not it, "Tonks! Stop bloody laughing! Do you think you can do better?"

Hannah, who was in my arms softly said, "Harry? At the moment everyone can do better, you forgot half of what you learned yesterday."

I smiled at Hannah, "What happened after that is burned into my memory, honey."

Tonks's voice interrupted, "I heard that! What happened after that?"

I rolled my eyes, "Boyfriend-Girlfriend confidentiality, Tonks! Maybe in a few years, you will get that far."

Tonks mocked, "Holding hands and a kiss on the cheek doesn't need confidentiality, Potter, it needs pity."

A blushing Susan shouted, "More dancing, less bickering!"

Tonks did dance with me, trying everything to make me miss my steps, when she inflated her boobs I said, "Nah, Tonks, Susan's are bigger and better." Hah! That made her trip on her own feet.

Three hours of dancing is enough, we retreated to a small salon and discussed our homework, like normal teenagers, at least I think that is what normal teenagers do. I still have to get used to this betrothed situation, I mean three at once?

Xxxxx

Sirius came into the room, "Harry, tomorrow after lunch, we are going to have a visit from the Greengrasses to discuss the marriage contract Narcissa made with them."

I groaned, "Great, I don't even know Astoria, I can hardly remember what she looks like."

Hannah, said, "She is a copy of Daphne, only a bit friendlier."

Sirius shrugged, "It does not matter what she looks like, we need them to be friendly, they are leading the Gray faction of the Wizengamot. Amelia is preparing for Dumbledore's hearing, that way she can force my trial to happen. At the moment there are too many that want me dead or kissed."

I sighed, "I'll be a good boy, Sirius. I don't want to blow this up."

Susan asked, "Sirius? What are the chances for that contract to go through?"

Sirius answered, "About 75%, Susan, much depends on what Miss Astoria wants," Sirius took the book from under his arm and gave it to me, "Nobles At War, a rule book written by Mercury Atlas Black. You will find what you are looking for in there."

Susan, Hannah, and Hermione started reading, there was no room for me, so I enjoyed the scenery, three pretty girls were doing their best to help me out… I call that an improvement, last year I could only count on Hermione. Ron was dead weight.

The next morning Tonks was pounding on the door, "Stop wanking Brat! It is time for breakfast."

Still sleepy I sighed, "I prefer Dobby to wake me up, Tonks is too bloody brutal."

Hermione snuggled a bit closer, "Five more minutes please."

At breakfast, Sirius announced, "The date for Dumbledore's hearing is set for next Saturday, Amelia will use that to present you as Heir Potter and Heir Black to the Wizengamot. I signed the papers to make her your Magical Guardian for House Black, I also allied myself with the Potter Longbottom Alliance and gave Amelia voting rights for House Black until I am a free man."

I nodded, "That gives us four days to prepare. That should be enough."

Xxxxx

The Family Greengrass was led into the Parlor by Sirius, he introduced us, "Lord Greengrass, may I present you my Partial Blood Adopted Son, Harry James Potter, and his future companion Hermione Granger. Harry, Hermione, Lord Cyrus Greengrass, of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Greengrass, Lady Ellen Greengrass nee Davis, Heiress Primary Daphne Greengrass, and Heiress Secondary Miss Astoria Greengrass."

Sirius looked at Lord Greengrass and asked, "Did I get it right? It has been ages ago that I had my etiquette lessons."

Lord Greengrass nodded, "It will do for now, Lord Black." Lord Greengrass studied my face, "Good day, Heir Potter Black, I must say that a lot of stories about you contradict themselves, I am curious which ones are true."

I smiled at him, "Good day to you all, well, Lord Greengrass, I can already tell you that those Harry Potter books are fiction, I never saw that castle I was supposed to live in," I shrugged, "I grew up with my muggle Aunt's family. If you ask Madam Bones she can explain what spells Dumbledore casts on her house to let them hate me. If you are curious about my real life, I have a set of memories you can look at. Although they are not child appropriate."

Lady Greengrass asked, "Why are they not child-appropriate? If you lived through it, it can not be that bad, can it?"

Sirius said, "Believe me, it is That bad, Heiress Bones and Heiress Secondary Abbot had nightmares for several nights after watching them. Alastor Moody had nightmares of them."

I presented them a rack with fifteen vials, "NR 1 to 15, in that order, Sir. Let your daughters watch at your own risk."

Daphne said, "Father, we have to watch them first to form our opinion, we can not negotiate without viewing them first."

Ah, the future Lady in Training? "Kreacher? Can you bring the Pensieve, please? Thank you. Well, Miss Greengrass, vial 7 will give you a good idea of what I am. Miss Astoria, I strongly advise you not to see that memory."

Hermione said, "I am not going through that again, I will keep her company."

The three Greengrasses, Sirius and I entered the Memory of the Basilisk, from Fraudster to grabbing Fawkes tail feathers. The two cool-faced women lost their cool when they saw Basi enter the hall, they screamed and whimpered the whole time until the Diary was stabbed. Lord Greengrass was cursing when he heard the dialog of spooky Tom and more when he saw what came out of that Diary.

We came out of the Pensieve, two Calming Draughts were ready for the women, without a word they drank it in one go. Sirius and Lord Greengrass did the same with a glass of Fire Whiskey.

I innocently asked, "Do you want to see the ritual of how Tom got a new body? It is almost as exciting as this one, NR 13."

Lord Greengrass shook his head, "I will watch them with Lord Davis."

Hermione spoke up, "Lord Greengrass, we discussed that Basilisk kill. What if that Basilisk came in the Great Hall at dinnertime? By killing it did Harry get a Life debt to him from all the students?"

Lord Greengrass thought for a while, "That is up for discussion, Miss Granger. The fact that the monster lived in the Chamber of Secrets for so long without hurting anyone said it doesn't. Also, you cannot say for sure what Riddle's plan was going to be. I doubt he would set that Basilisk free, more likely he would sneak out of the castle looking for the original."

He took a deep breath and continued, "We cannot deny the possibility that Tom would send the Basilisk as a diversion to escape, he had it out in the castle four or five times before. I can say that Hogwarts is indebted to you and our whole community."

He stood up and looked at Sirius, "You can count on it that this memory is shown on Dumbledore's hearing, Lord Black. We will return tomorrow, by then we have a better picture of the situation."

When Daphne passed me by I softly said, "Sweet dreams, Miss Greengrass, although I suggest a Dreamless Potion for tonight."
