AN:/ Sorry for the wait but here is chapter 25 thank you all once again for you reads and reviews they to mean a lot. Once again I own nothing but the idea all characters and setting belongs to J.K. Rowling.

Harry and Remus were sitting in the abandoned classroom playing chess once again. Every so often, he would glance over at his three beautiful fiancées, who were sitting in the middle of the room in a meditative state. It was Easter break, and the group of friends had decided to remain in the castle for it. The main reason being that the girls still wanted to learn to become Animagi. It was much easier to hide the fact they were not eating when at the castle. Harry, not wanting to make them suffer by watching him eat, chose not to eat for the week as well.

He spotted Andie slowly opening her eyes and immediately got up with a sandwich, the game forgotten. He walked over to her and offered her a hand and a smile. She looked up with her violet eyes and smiled back, taking his offered hand. He led her over to a small set of desks and eased her into the chair. She took the offered sandwich and scarfed it down.

"Did you see it?" He asked her gently, pushing a strand of her beautiful hair from her face.

Her smile widened as her eyes sparkled. "I did! I can't wait to try and transform!"

Harry smiled down at her before leaning in and placing a small peck on her lips. "As soon as the others are ready, we will."

She smiled up at him. A small groan from the center of the room drew their attention to where Amelia was waking up. Harry quickly did the same for her and gave her one of the sandwiches he had procured for this. He smiled at her when she excitedly told him that she had seen her creature as well. Soon enough, Lily was waking up as well, and the procedure was repeated.

Once they were all awake and ready to go, Harry stood up. "Come on, I know a better place for us to do this," he said with a grin that made them all wonder what they were about to see.

Harry led them up to the seventh floor and stood before a tapestry of a tap-dancing troll. They looked around but found nothing but two statues on the opposite wall. They were all confused as Harry walked to one of the statues and paced three times before the wall between them. Their mouths dropped as a door suddenly appeared on the once blank wall. Harry looked back at them as he placed a hand on the doorknob and smirked.

"Welcome to the Room of Requirement!" he said, opening the door.

They walked in, and their eyes bugged out. The room was huge. It was easily big enough to fit Harry in his dragon form. "What is this place?" Lily asked in awe.

"This is a room that will grant you anything you can think of when you require it. All you need to do is pace three times before the wall and think of the place you need. The only limitation is that it cannot be an outside place. Like, I cannot imagine us to be in a forest, and suddenly we are. But that is not what we are here for. I didn't know what your forms could be or how large, so I just figured one that would fit me should be sufficient," he explained.

The girls nodded as their awed faces quickly turned to excitement. "So what do we do now?" Amelia asked, coming over to him and draping her arms around his neck.

Harry put his hands upon her waist, and Remus rolled his eyes but smiled. "All you need to do is capture how you felt while you were the creature. Its emotions, its wants, its needs, what makes it... well, it. Then channel your magic into that thought. Feel it in your soul."

The girls nodded, and Amelia gave him a peck before she moved off to a side, away from the others a bit. Harry and Remus watched as the girls took on looks of concentration. Suddenly, Andie started to change. Her body grew in size, and her mouth extended into a muzzle. Brown fur sprouted over her arms and face. Before long, a large grizzly bear stood in her place. It came over to Harry and nudged him a bit with her head. He chuckled and gave her a scratch. Then she changed back, however, before Harry could speak, she gave him a mischievous smile and changed again. This time the form was still a bear, but this one was slightly smaller and white as newly fallen snow.

As Andie changed back, Amelia made her first. She grew a long, swishy tail. Golden fur sprouted from her exposed flesh. Her teeth elongated and sharpened. Large sharp claws sprang from her fingers. Where she stood now held a large lion with almost golden fur. It pranced over to Harry, and he looked into her blue eyes with a smile. He started petting her, causing her to purr softly. Before long, however, she changed back and smiled at

him. Before long, however, she changed back and smiled at him.

It was now Lily's turn as they all watched her. Her form shrank to the size of a large dog. However, it soon became clear that it was not what her form was. Instead of one tail, nine bushy ones appeared. When she stopped, a fox-like creature came bounding over to them and leaped onto Harry, knocking him to the ground. She licked his face, causing him to chuckle. She quickly transformed back right on top of him with a large beaming smile and gave him a kiss before hopping off.

"Your four and PDA," Remus grumbled from the side with a small smile.

"Oh hush, you, or should we talk about how I walked in on you and Tonks sucking each other's faces off before we came back?" Lily said in a teasing voice. Remus suddenly turned as red as a beet and looked away.

Harry chuckled at his friend, happy that he had found someone and happy that Petunia may have a better life this time around. He turned to the girls with a smile. "Well, Andie here looks like she is both a grizzly and a polar bear. Congratulations, love. Amelia, you appear to be a Nemean lion, the magical lion from Greek myths. Just as fierce as you yourself. And Lily here seems to be a kitsune, a creature from Japanese folklore. If I remember correctly, they tend to have a disposition to fire. Its cuteness definitely matches you, my dear." All three girls blushed at what he had said to them and drew him into a hug he happily returned.

The next full moon was upon them, and the friends had all met at the Shrieking Shack after the professors had left. The girls were watching Remus in sorrow at his pained expressions. It hurt to see their mild-mannered friend in so much pain.

"You lot should probably change, and quick," he said, fighting the curse.

The four of them quickly changed and held perfectly still as they had been told. Remus screamed as the change finally overcame him. They watched in a mix of horror and fascination as his bones rearranged and his shape changed. The sickening sounds they made as they did filled the air.

Before long, the wolf stood before them. He stalked over and sniffed at the air in front of each of them. Seemingly accepting them as part of his family, he yipped and hopped around. Harry, in his tiger form, smiled inwardly as he watched them start to play around. Seeing as the house was too small for them, he carefully led them out and into the forest. They spent the evening looping through the forest, chasing one another beneath the full moonlight.

At the end, they led the now tired wolf back to the shack. Harry put him to bed before leading them all out. The next day found the five of them in the classroom once more. "Thank you, guys, for the other night. It means a lot that you are willing to help me with the change," Remus told them softly.

"Any time, Remus. You're our friend," they replied.

They turned to Harry, who seemed to be deep in thought. "What's the matter, Harry?" Lily asked in concern.

Harry looked over at them and smiled. "I think I want to make a map..."

The school year was over, and Harry was getting off the train with his friends and the girls. It had been a relatively quiet year, with not much of interest going on. The only thing that really was a bit concerning was Bellatrix and her friends glaring at them in the Great Hall while they ate. However, that wasn't really new. Plus, she would be leaving school after this year anyway, so he wasn't too concerned. Plus, it wasn't like stares were uncommon for the group. Hell, both Snape and Potter were constantly glaring at him.

Andie tugged him over to where her grandparents were standing, along with the Bones and Evans families. After a quick hello to each and then a goodbye to the Bones and Evans with farewell kisses from his two girls, he was left with the Blacks. Regulus, who was a year younger than them, stood quietly by his grandmother's side, watching what was going on. He had finally decided to go live with them, even if he was a bit afraid of what his mother would say.

Narcissa stood on the other side of Melania with her usual cold mask in place. She had spent a little time with the group over the last few months, and usually, she was rather fun to be around. However, her father had beaten it into her that in public, this is how one is to act. She watched curiously what was going on, having no idea about the contracts and only that her grandfather had given Andie permission to court Pendragon.

Sirius too watched curiously from his place behind them all, he didn't hate Pendragon but had to stick with his friend. James hated the boy for stealing Lily from him. While he couldn't blame him, as Lily was extremely pretty, he was starting to get concerned for his friend. From what he had talked to Remus about the other boy, he was a good guy, but you didn't want to see him if you hurt someone close to him. He had been talking to Remus in secret for a few months now, trying to repair the friendship he had lost. He liked Remus and his calm demeanor.

"Ah, Lord Pendragon, how are you this fine day?" Arcturus asked, taking the young man's hand.

"I am fine, Lord Black. Lady Black, you are looking as lovely as ever," he said, taking her hand and kissing it.

Milania smiled over at her granddaughter with a knowing look. Andie blushed lightly before pushing it down. "Why thank you, Lord Pendragon."

"Lord Pendragon, I would like to invite you to Blackmoor at the beginning of August month for dinner. As I am sure you are aware, I have an announcement to make and would like it if you come," Arcturus said, as his other three grandchildren looked at him confused.

"Of course, Lord Black, it would be my honor," Harry returned. He hated talking like this. He and Arcturus got along and usually used first names, but in public, until they announced the contracts, they needed to be more professional for now... he hated politics sometimes.

"Very well then, we look forward to your arrival on the first of August," Arcturus said with a slight bow of the head. With that, Harry said his goodbyes with a small kiss to Andromeda's cheek before leaving.

Harry had only been at home for a quick minute to grab his packed bags before he was once again in the Ministry and being whisked away to his next destination. Now, however, he was walking down a very hot desert towards a Pyramid along with a group of other men and women. He had managed to snag a spot in a summer internship with Gringotts curse breakers. Granted, he had to sign waivers in blood that he would not steal anything at the cost of life. Along with other forms that said they were not responsible for any loss of life. But it was a good thing nonetheless.

Once they arrived at the dig site, a tall man with grey hair and green eyes stepped to the front. He was an older man in his mid to late fifties but carried himself as though he was twenty years younger. "Now then, listen up. You five are going to be learning from the pros this month. Everything from detection charms to how to dispel some of the worst curses known to wizardkind. I encourage you to NOT touch anything you may find without asking one of us first. If you have any questions, please be sure to come to us and ask." It went on for a long time as they stood sweltering under the hot sun.

Two weeks later found Harry in the main research tent reading over a large stack of books he needed to learn. However, as he read, he came across a word, Horcruxes. He suddenly had a flashback to his time with death so many years ago now. That was something he had said that Voldemort had created. He read further into it.

Horcruxes are a hideous piece of magic that is banned in most magical communities to even think about. However, due to their nature and the nature of those who create them, curse breakers tend to be the only ones to know much about the vile things. To create these disgusting artifacts, one must commit some of the worst things imaginable to another human. This may include but is not limited to rape, torture, murder, and more. From there, they must split their souls and place the half they split off into a suitable container. It would not be recommended for anyone to split their soul more than once, and one would have to be utterly mad to do so.

"Ah, I see you have found that book already, huh?" He heard a voice behind him ask. He jumped a bit and whirled around only to find Garry, the man leading the expedition there with a small smile. "Easy, Pendragon, I didn't mean to scare you," he teased lightly.

"Sorry, sir, I was just so into reading I guess you spooked me," Harry said, rubbing the back of his head.

Garry nodded and sat down next to him. He looked at the book and then back at the boy. "Not thinking about making one of those, I hope?"

Harry could hear the small edge in the man's voice. He shook his head slowly. "Gods no. I have three wonderful women in my life, and I know for a fact none of

them would do anything like this. If I can't live in this world with them, then I would much rather move to the next and be with them for eternity."

Garry regarded him for a moment before he nodded. "That is a very wise and mature way to view it. I must also say that those girls of yours must be something special then. Many would give anything for immortality."

Harry sighed, thinking of Voldemort. The man had indeed given up much for that exact thing. "I can imagine, but there are so much more important things than living forever. Love is one of those things, in my personal opinion, and I would rather not give that up."

Garry smiled at him. "Well, any questions then?"

Harry nodded. "If you ever come across these, is there anything that can destroy them without harming the object they are in? I mean, I can't imagine they would be putting a piece of them into something like an old boot or tin can like a Portkey. Can't have your soul be thrown in the dustbin, you know?"

Garry chuckled. It was clear the boy was smart, and he found himself respecting him for his views on life. "You are quite right there. The ancient Egyptians would tend to place them into things such as golden idols and jade scarabs. There is a way to cleanse the items, though, as many people would like to keep them for historical value. I can show you if you like?"

Harry raised an eyebrow. "You can?"

Garry nodded and stood up, motioning him to follow. "Oh yes. We actually found one here in this tomb, to be exact. Pretty much every tomb in the old Egyptian world had one or two laying around. Not always from the tomb's occupant, though, strangely enough. Witches and wizards would place them here for safekeeping at the time. In a way, it's ironic that it would be in a place of death that they placed their containers for life in."

Harry nodded, following the man to a different tent. Upon entering, they found a golden statue sitting on a pedestal in the center of the room. Garry walked up to it and bent over to examine it. Harry could hear a faint whisper coming from it. It called to him to take it and run. He pushed those thoughts away as Garry pulled his wand.

"Okay, kid, pay close attention. I doubt you will ever come across something like this outside of a dig, but hey, you never know when this could come in handy," the man said as he started waving his wand and chanting in Latin.

Harry paid extra close attention to his words and wand movements. Silently, he was moving his hand in time with him and chanting them in his own head. After thirty minutes, a bright flash lit up the tent. A smokey and gooey substance rose from the statue and screamed bloody murder before it vanished in another wave of light.

Harry was panting heavily as he leaned in and looked at the statue once more. The whispers had stopped, and the tent was silent. After a time, he nodded. "Very good! It's done, and the spirit is gone," he said happily, turning to Harry. "Were you able to get all that, kid?"

Harry nodded. "Yes, I believe so."

"Well, why don't you show me then, just to see?" Garry asked.

Harry nodded and drew out his wand. He began to chant for the next thirty minutes while not channeling his magic. Garry watched him the entire time to make sure he was doing it right. After a time, the man smiled widely.

"Well done, Harry! You know, you could make a fantastic curse breaker one day if you wanted," the man said.

Harry smiled but shook his head. "Naw, I'm not sure this is for me. Too much time away from my girls. I found some books on enchanting, though, in the village, and that's kind of caught my eye."

"Enchanting, you say? Well, that would be a good profession indeed. Not many enchanters around these days. Some who create brooms or trunks claim to be enchanters, but that's not really true. That's more just placing a permanent charm on them. Here, come look at this statue now. It was enchanted back in the day to give off light. Maybe it will help you in your future," he said, motioning to the statue that had once contained a soul.

The next few weeks were fantastic after that. Harry had found many more enchanted items that he was allowed to study under supervision. Some things were made to give light, some to harm, and some to heal. It truly was amazing what one could make with the right runes. While he was enjoying his time of learning in Egypt, and as it came to an end, things in Britain were changing for the worse.

In a small village north of London a man in a black cloak stood atop a hill over looking the sleeping village. A group of cloaked figures in masks stood behind him. there numbers in the fifties. They watched him waiting for the signal.

He raised his hand before bringing it forward. The group made their way past him and into the village below. Bright flashes lit up the night and small explosions were heard as doors were blown from their hinges. The man on the hill looked on with cold red glowing eyes and a smirk upon thin pale lips.

A house was set on fire by two of the cloaked men before they stood back and watched it burn. Their skull like masks glowed before the flames. Screams emitted from within as the occupants tried desperately to get out. The two cackled as they watched a little boy trying in vain to break a window before succumbing to inhalation.

Another man caught a woman who was trying to flee and slammed her against a house. He fumbled with his trousers before he ripped her night dress away and began thrusting in an out of her roughly. The woman's pained and scared screams filled the night as more men lined up to have their way with her. Others to were doing the same with other woman and even a few girls no older then thirteen.

It was a despicable sight however the man on the hill watched with the smile still on his face. Watching as they fucked and then killed these filthy muggle whores. He could care less what his men did as long as people started to fear him as they should. After all it was his plans that have lead to this night. His eyes glowed brighter as he watched the village burn and heard the screams and laughter of his men. A giant serpent came up beside him to watch the horror going on. The man threw back his head an let out a long, cold, high-pitched laugh that sent chills down the spines of those that heard it.
