Mrs. J.K., Queen of this site! You kicked Naruto's ass with more than 400K postings! You rule! I am sure my bits helped too. Ah, you don't care… that is cool too.

Previous:

I recited the proper passage, "In any case do not turn to violence, stay calm, and use a soft voice to prevent an escalation of the conflict. Try to talk your differences out as civilized Witches or Wizards. You see, Professor, this class is about when Dialogue doesn't work and your opponent turns to violence. This class needs to teach us how to defend ourselves when someone casts a spell at us."

I looked her in the eyes, "Professor, are you going to teach us how to defend ourselves or do I need to call the Aurors? See? I'm still using the dialogue."

21 Let's talk about it.

Daphne came next to me, "Professor, it is crucial for us to pass our OWLS with the highest grades possible. You have to realize that our results will be reflected in you. If you manage to let all of us fail you will be remembered as the worst Dada Professor in History. You will be the joke of half the Wizarding World and scorned by the other half for ruining our futures."

Words from a proper Pureblood Daughter can not be denied, especially when that Daughter's Dad is the leader of the Gray Faction in the Wizengamot. She realized that her options were limited now that her backer was gone, I almost saw the gears turning in her mind.

Umbridge took the way out Daphne offered and nodded, "Very well, I will be teaching you the spells required for your Owls."

I released the ropes and spells, "That is all we ask, Professor. We promise to do our best to score high marks on our exams," I added, "As a peace offering, I will sponsor the new course books for all seven years. If I might suggest, the books from the last two years had the best OWL results from the last fifteen years."

Everyone was staring at me and Daphne, I attacked a Professor, and Daphne changed that Professor's mind to actually teach us spells. The kids of my Vassals were laying low, as their Lord, I am sponsoring their education and I bet they got orders not to mess with me.

Umbridge gritted her teeth, "Books from last year will be fine, Mr. Potter. I'll start teaching from them when they arrive here, "Then she handed a barb of her own to us, "As you just demonstrated the effectiveness of Slinkard's Method, you will resume reading the textbook until then."

I smiled, "I can agree with that Professor, might I suggest you lecture on the goals this book wants us to reach? We, students, will grasp the information better when an adult explains the finer details we otherwise might miss. As you know, our World view is limited because of our youth, we have yet to experience what the World is offering."

I buttered her up enough to let her back off. It is a cease-fire at the moment, we both got what we wanted, she taught us spells and she proved that her book was not completely trash. I shudder at the thought of a Professor with a Poor for her OWL teaching us any kind of spell, but, there are no other candidates for the job, so we have to do with the bottom feeders. I made it an express order to the bookstore, they promised the books would arrive a week later.

The DA club will not form, I can tell you that, I rather spend that time with my fiancees. Yes, I have my priorities in order. I got my nights sorted too, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights we spend with all of us, Monday night I recuperate cuddling with Astoria, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I spent with two girls, they decide the rotation themselves. Yes, I smile a lot lately, a few days ago the House Elves expanded my bed, everyone fits in it now.

I noticed that the Burning Soul Curse started to take effect, Draco kept rubbing his left arm, so did Theo Nott, Dumb and Dumber, and some upper years from Slytherin, two Puffs, two Ravenclaws, and one Griff. I wonder if I am going to let them squib out or help the bastards. Each has its pros and cons, if I squib them, they will cause no more problems but it will give me a bad reputation in the community. If I help them out, there is a 50% chance they turn on me for offing their Lord.

That evening after dinner, I asked the girl's opinion about it, helping or not. Daphne commented, "You have first to see if you can actually help them, Harry. If you can't, then there is no use discussing it."

"Maybe you can experiment on Draco," said Susan, she pointed out, "I bet he only took that brand to protect his parents. His Father's stunt with the Diary and the loans to House Black would make that a punishment instead of a reward. Besides, he is a relative of Sirius and Tonks, with the Blood adoption he is yours too, Harry."

I groaned, "Now I have to help that ponce?" suddenly my face lighted up, "We can amputate that arm! No brand, no pain!"

Luna shook her head, "Focus, husband, this is important. You have to do the right thing."

I sighed, "I'll check the books, the book from Salazar, Curses on the Soul, and How to Cleanse Them will be my best bet. That Dark Mark is a soul brand after all."

Luna smiled, "You will do the right thing, love."

I looked sideways at Luna, "Do all the Seers get a kick of being so vague as possible? It's making my head hurt, you know."

Luna's smile widened, "That is retribution for your fake Prophecy, Love. There must be Balance in the Universe."

I got in front of Luna, "You know, suddenly I feel the urge to tickle the Universe, the Balance demands it."

The next ten minutes the tickle fight spread out to the other girls, at the end, I got Luna trapped on my lap. I asked, "How is my lovely Universe feeling? Is there Balance?"

Luna cuddled closer and nodded, "There is Balance, Harry, and Harmony, Love and Fun. I Love Fun, Husband."

I sighed when I put Luna next to me, "I am off to the RoR to read Salazar's books, I got to search for a good copy spell too, then I can read them here."

Hermione offered, "I can come with you if you want help."

I shook my head, "Those books are all in Parselscript, Hermione, maybe you can page through those stacks of books the elves returned to me."

"I want to learn about Muggle mating habits from Luna's magazines," said Astoria, "I am curious how different they are to ours."

I glanced at Hermione, she looked up at me and shrugged. Well, this is the way most Muggle teenage boys are introduced to the anatomy of the opposite sex according to the Old Guy's memories, and the girls are already past that hurdle.

When I returned just before curfew, six blushing Witches and one dreamy Witch were sitting on the couch with a lot of Magazines spread out in front of them on the table.

Luna smiled at me, "Husband, we learned a lot today, and want to try some of it out. Those Muggles have some great ideas. The ropes and whips looked interesting."

When I swallowed, she giggled, "You are so easy to tease, hubby. Daddy said not to experiment the first five years."

I seated myself next to her and pulled her over my lap, I lifted her skirt and slapped her bum, "Naughty girls need to be punished," I said after a few slaps, then I pulled her panty down and gave her some more slaps, "Tell me, did this naughty girl deserved to be spanked? Maybe I have to use those ropes on this naughty girl."

Luna gasped, her bum was on fire and yet she started to moan, "Yes, Husband, I was a bad girl that needed to be punished."

I gave one last slap, "Here is your punishment, naughty girl, tonight you will be our playgirl, you will be ours to play with however we want. For me, put your face in my lap and your mouth on Little Dude."

Hannah, said, "First do a striptease, a slutty striptease."

The Magazines must have inspired them, Luna performed like a pro, slowly dancing through the room, she removed her clothes one by one. She ended her dance in front of me. Luna got on her knees and started her Blowjob. Bobbing her head up and down, with one hand on the shaft moving along, it didn't take long to lose my first load. "Swallow it all, little toy! Merlin that felt good!"

"Now the rest of us, plaything," said Hannah, "My pussy is burning and need your tongue, no, not fingering yourself."

Luna, directed by us, served one after one, she was eager to do as ordered, not one command was refused, when everyone except Astoria got served, we took Luna to bed, five girls and I started spoiling Luna, with my Dude deep inside, the girls covered her with their hands and lips, a half hour and a lot of orgasms later, she collapsed with a big smile on her face.

Astoria came before me and said, "Hubby? I am a naughty girl too, please punish me."

I grinned and slapped her ass, "Alright, I will punish you, sit on the edge of the bed and stay there, I forbid you to play with yourself."

Daphne giggled, "Nice try, Tory, take your punishment. I'll add a bit more, you stay with Harry tonight dressed in your nightgown without doing one erotic action."

Daphne smiled at me, "That is denial play, we read about it. Harry, we are going to bed, Hannah stays here to fuck you senseless and rile Torie's juices up."

I took a deep breath, §Recuperate!§ Hannah got served the way she loved under Astoria's longing eyes. She muttered, "Not fair!"

Saturday after breakfast, Aunty Bones arrived with the In-laws, she reported, "We monitored the known Death Eaters in Azkaban, and the ones we suspect to being branded, all of them have symptoms of having an itch on their Mark, they keep rubbing it. It seems you are correct in your hypothesis that the Burning Soul Curse is affecting every Marked Death Eater."

She looked at me and asked, "Does that mean they will die too as you predicted?"

I shrugged, "About 75% of them do or turn into squibs, Aunty, they are connected with their Soul to Riddle, as long as they are connected he can leach on their power. I am researching on how we can remove that Mark, but I need test subjects."

I turned to Headmistress Sprout and told her, "Seven Slytherins, two Puffs, Two Claws, and, one Griff have that same itch the Death Eaters have on their arms. I want your permission to ask some of them to be my test subjects."

Sprout paled, "Twelve of them are branded? So many? Why would their parents allow that?"

Jacob Abbot commented, "Riddle was not happy with his minions when he got his new body. Do you recall what he said in Harry's memory? Thirteen years he suffered, he does not forgive, he does not forget. Branding the kids is a punishment for the parents for being Harry's Vassals, while the kids think it is an honor."

Cyrus Greengrass looked thoughtful and speculated, "He must have changed to whom they swore loyalty after Harry kicked him out of House Slytherin and House Gaunt. Maybe they did to House Riddle?"

Susan showed her insight, "Now that they are sworn to Riddle, all he has to do is to kill the ones that are sworn to the Heir of Slytherin to get access to their vaults again."

I remarked, "He won't do that yet, it will scare off new recruits if he does that now. He can still use them to drain their power," I looked at Veronica Davis, my Slytherin Proxy, and suggested, "Lady Davis, maybe it is an idea to declare at the next Wizengamot that any marked children of my Vassals are not in line to for succession. That will keep them alive… or get Crucio'd."

Veronica Davis nodded, "That is a good solution, I better make it a temporary Disinheritance and explain why I am doing it. That will create a lot of goodwill for your Vassals, Harry."

Veronica changed the subject, "Miss Delacour is making big waves in our community, Harry. We expected she would have more trouble sorting your new businesses out. We had some meetings with the alliance to synchronize our trading. She asked for a meeting this afternoon with her team and your lawyers to sign the contracts."

Veronica looked at Sprout and asked, "Is it possible for Harry to leave with us until dinner time? Spies will no doubt report any of Harry's visitors in the Castle to Riddle."

When Sprout nodded, Susan took advantage of the moment to ask, "Can we come too? Harry is new to all the trading and managing his businesses, we can support him and learn some too. Harry told us we would be equals in this relationship. Or take at least Daphne, Tracey, and Hannah along, they are interested in business management."

Sprout sighed, "This is the main reason why we avoid letting students take their Lordships. The responsibilities are too big and will harm their education. Add the fact of your fight with Tom Riddle, I fear that the pressure will be too much someday, Mr. Potter."

She straightened up and said, "Until Tom Riddle is finished, you will have my full support, Lord Potter. All I ask for your sake is not to neglect your studies. I will notify the Professors to exempt you from handing essays and tasks in until Yule break."

"One more topic I want to discuss," said Sprout before I could cheer for skipping homework, "I would like to reinstate the introduction classes again. Armando Dippet canceled those classes, no doubt on Dumbledore's advice. Those classes introduce the Muggle-born and Muggle raised to the Wizarding customs, the why and how we do things. I want to start introduction classes for Wizarding raised to teach them about the outside world, something a lot of them lack. I discussed this with the board of Governors but got denied. I'll ask your support for it, Lord Slytherin, you have the authority to Veto any decision of the Board."

Susan commented, "That is something we neglected last month. We were too focused on Tom Riddle and forgot about school. Harry, I'll stay here with Hermione to discuss it with Headmistress Sprout, while you and the girls go with our parents."

I looked around at the parents, they all nodded. I am surprised they let us make our own decisions, I guess that is a sign they trust us... Or are hoping to do an I Told You So! When we crash and burn due to a bad decision.

"That is fine by me, Susan if our Headmistress agrees with it," I answered, "Maybe it is a good idea to find out what else those two headmasters canceled during their term of office."

Sprout sighed, "I will have a long conversation with Dippet."

Hermione commented, "We have to do something about the Hogwarts Express too, a lot of the Muggleborn have to travel across the country to put their children on a train that will travel them back across the country. Mary McDougal for example, lives in a village, not thirty miles from here, their parents have to travel to London, spend the night, put her in a train station they are not even allowed to see, and travel back to Scotland, all that to deliver her to a school they can reach in a one hour drive with their car."

Sprout nodded, "That rule was instated after the first great war in 1922. Before that, the Muggle-born traveled to the closest Wizarding home and Flood to the Station. Tensions in the pureblood community let them refuse to use their Floo to the Muggleborn. A lot of them had to travel to Hogwarts and arrive one or two days too late."

Cyrus Greengrass commented, "I remember my Grandfather complaining about that, after that war, Muggles and Muggleborns became more assertive and outspoken. Add the fact that almost all of them were devoted Christians, they clashed a lot. Letting strangers in our homes use our Floo is uncomfortable too, especially when our worldview is so different."

Aunty Bones addressed another Hot Topic, "Harry, rumors are flying around that you are a Seer and you made a Prophecy in your Divination Class. Is this true?"

I decided to do a demonstration, §Rauca, Sonorus Minima§, and stared at a point on the wall. My voice boomed through the room,

A New Fake Seer is born!

The Heliopaths are protesting!

The Wrackspurts will confuse Him!

The Nargels will punish the Faker!

The Blubbering Humdingers are going to set the World back in order!

The New Fake Seer will confuse the Sheep!

He will be punished by his Luna if he keeps this up!

Luna narrowed her eyes, "Luna will certainly do that, Fake Seer! Luna will have ropes and whips ready tonight."

I swallowed, and explained to the speechless parents, "I got tired of Trelawney predicting my death every two minutes, so I made my voice hoarse and with a mild Sonorus I spouted a bad rhyme like I just demonstrated. I won't do that again though, Luna is against it, I am giving real Seers a bad name if I keep doing them she said."

Xeno, who was taking notes the whole time commented, "There are real Seers, Harry, my Luna is right, doing these fake Prophesies will hurt their credibility," he turned serious, "Sibyl Trelawney is a real Seer, only she is forced to teach something she is not talented in. Her talent is in Prophecy, a rare talent, but limited in use, most Prophecy Seers do twenty or fewer Prophecies in their lifetime. Teaching students Tarot or viewing Crystal balls is harming her reputation."

We discussed our future actions and the possible directions they will go, again I was surprised at how much we are allowed to give our opinion.

Finally, Bernard Davis stood up, "The rest is a discussion for later, we can think of something before Yule, Riddle will be gone by then I hope. Lunch is at our home."

I heard Veronica Davis softly say to Luna, "Luna dear, we have a good selection of ropes and whips at home, I let you borrow some."

Whut?

Fleur and her team joined us for lunch, so did my lawyers, is this the so-called business lunch? No this is not a restaurant, they can not file this for a tax deduction. Meh, I'll just eat the food and listen to the small talk. What worries me is that Luna and Veronica are whispering behind a silencing charm, and sometimes glimpse at me with a weird smile.

When lunch was over, Fleur presented the contracts and explained their functions, "First is the founding of Potter Solutions, we have all the permits and paperwork ready to be signed, Lord Dewey approved the formulation of the contract."

Fleur presented the next stack of papers, "This is for the founding of a factory to create viewing screens, recording devices, and Wireless. We have several models ready for production and are recruiting employees as we speak. This is the standard contract every employee has to sign at the start of their job."

Dewey took over, "Miss Delacour and I started negotiations with the National and international Quidditch Leagues and Quadpod League for exclusive rights to record and report all their matches with the exception of the local wireless and newspaper reports. We are targeting a fifteen-year exclusive contract with an option to extend it for fifteen years more. So far the Leagues see this as easy money in their pockets."

Fleur presented the next stack, "This is for the broadcasting stations, we want to start small, here in Britain, In MACUSA, in France, and Germany. Every station will have a fixed team and employ freelancers. We studied the Muggle stations in different countries and opted for the US style of broadcasting. I contacted several Veela to announce the programs or host concerts and events. We are scouting veteran quidditch players for commenting on live matches and analyzing matches on the news.

Fleur commented, "We are proud to present our latest invention, the Universal Translator! Every viewing screen has a setting to select the main language, once set, every different language will be translated into the language it is set on. We noticed that German and French stations dubbed the sound with German and French voiceovers. Our Universal Translator will do the same but with the voice of the person that is speaking."

Dewey pointed out, "That will give our Viewing screens an edge over copycats. The Universal Translator will be used exclusively for the viewing screens for at least ten years."

Daphne, Tracey, and Hannah were paging through the contracts, Daphne asked, "What is the cost to start this up? Who is going to distribute the screens in MACUSA and the continent?"

Fleur answered, "Here in Britain the shops owned by the alliance will sell them, Greengrass and Davis have stores in Germany and Spain, Abbots and Bones have contacts in MACUSA. The Delacours are prepared to sell them in France and Italy when we branch out. Gnaw, Bite, Spit, and Tooth are doing the negotiations with the Local Gringotts banks the startup is calculated to be three Million Galleons and two million Galleons more to bridge the cost between production and broadcasting."

We discussed details, while I signed the first contracts. Here I thought I had a Blood Quill-free year! My hand was bleeding when I was done signing everything in fourfold.

Is it a risk? Not exactly, the memories from that Old Guy proved to me that social media will get more important, so will it be with the Wizarding world. The only risk is that there are not a lot of Magicians to make it profitable, I mean the total population of Magicians is smaller than Armenia, you ask where Armenia is? That is my point! With a population of less than three million Magicians, I doubt that I will get super rich from this.

No comments on what happened that night, I saw the scary side of Luna… I suffered Luna's Wrath and discovered the kinky side of the wives. As I said, no comments. It hurt like a bitch, I can tell that I am not an M. Years in my cupboard made me hate punishments. This time I took the damage because I made fun of Luna's Heliopaths and friends. Next time I will do the slapping. It was not all bad though, Luna rode me like a Cowgirl, according to her that would be getting rid of all the Wrackspurts. I could not comment on that, Daphne and Tracey took turns sitting on my face.

The next morning the Daily Bullshit Reported

The Dark Lord's Attack failed!

Dear Readers! Yesterday afternoon, the Dark Wizard Riddle launched an attack in Diagon Alley with ten of his followers! What happened next was unbelievable! When the Dark Wizard casts his first spell, all his followers grab their left arm in pain!

Encouraged by the lack of action the bystanders started to cast spells at Riddle, forcing him to raise shields. That action made the Death Eaters scream in pain, the more spells Riddle casts, the more his followers were hurting! In the end, they were rolling on the pavement in pain.

With a scream of rage, Riddle escaped with a Portkey leaving his minions an easy prey for the brave men and women who disarmed them and tied them up for the DMLE, which arrived only seconds later.

Senior Auror Robarts commented, "We have a patrol in Diagon Alley all day and night. The fight was over in less than twenty seconds, by the time we arrived the fight was over. We commend the brave Wizards and Witches for standing up to these criminals. With people like them, our world will be a lot safer."

That, Dear Readers, is a turn in DMLE policy, they used to reprimand bystanders and sometimes arrest them for casting spells to defend themselves. Questioning Senior Robarts he remarked, "That Policy change was pushed through by Madam Bones after Minister Fudge took a Sabbatical, and Minister Diggory temporally took over. We acknowledge the rights of the public to defend themselves."

Dear Readers, we noticed that there is a fresh wind blowing through the Ministry, corruption and favoritism are handled and punished.

We can only hope it will stay that way.

Your reporter, C. Holmes

I cornered Malfoy after lunch, "Draco, let's talk about that itch on your arm."
