****************************************************************************Summer of 1995 Day 2*********************************************************************************
It was 6:30 in the morning next when Harry, Susan, and Fleur made their way to the front lawn of the Black Manor. Sirius was waiting for them in a plain black exercising outfit smiling at them saying "Good Morning you three ready to start?" getting lazy nods from them he added "Okay then let's do a 2.5 mile run in to warm up" that woke all three of them up.
The run lasted about 10 minutes and after that, they started with some exercises it was kept alight by Sirius intentionally as it was just the first session of their summer training. They all did Push-ups, Squats, Jumping jacks, Lunges along with some weight training in the gym inside. It was after 7: 30 about they were finally done with the Physical aspect of training.
"Okay, Folks that's it for today lest head back and clean ourselves up before breakfast" Sirius clapped standing in front of 3 teens ending their morning session. Hearing this all three took a breath of relief leaving their muscles a little sore.
Without saying anything else all of them made their way back to the manor. It was not as taxing for them as they did that much for the last year. They were back in their respective room to change out of their sweaty clothes.
It was half an hour later that all three of them came down the stairs making their way to the dining room only to find a good spread for breakfast. Amelia, Rose, Bella, Narcissa, Apolline, and Andromeda already sitting there. Greetings went around as they took their seats.
"So how was the training you three?" Amelia asked smiling at them.
Harry replied in an amused tone saying "Tiring, I never knew Padfoot was so strict about training"
Amelia chuckled saying "Well he was a hit-wizard before he was sent to Azkaban so he is pretty strict when it comes to training"
Harry gaped hearing this but didn't say anything as he couldn't imagine his ever-fun-loving godfather being a hit Auror and hunting dark wizards to kill them. It was odd for him to even think about that.
Seeing his expressions Bella stifled a chuckle saying "I know it's pretty hard to imagine it but it's true he was vicious in the war along with your day they were struck a fear in the hearts of death eaters"
"Ah! Those were the days back then!" Sirius exclaimed entering the dining room.
He smiled reminiscing about his glory days saying "It was the dream of mine and James to join Aurors since our 5th year of Hogwarts. We did it and exceeded our expectations as we were tutored by Lily just like Bella here but we pale in the comparison to both of them"
Bella snorted nodding "Yeah you did I still remember beating your arse every time we came across the battlefield. But Lily was in her own league and James was nearing my level before his death," she said wistfully with looking down.
That's when they heard a loud *thud* sound followed by what they were used to, the voice of Dora reassuring no one in particular that she was fine "I am okay I am fine I just tripped on the last steps"
This broke the mood of sorrow in the dining room everyone broke into fits of laughter while Andromeda shook her head at her daughter's antics chuckling a little.
"Wotcher Everyone" she greeted making her way to Harry's side kissing him good morning before settling in the chair beside Susan serving herself some breakfast.
"Oh! The pup we made the schedule we talked about yesterday for the summer here" he said passing 2 pieces of parchment to Susan and Harry. Harry opened to read

Harry looked up after reading the schedule asking "Are all of you really okay with this?" holding the piece of parchment up continuing in a concerned tone "I mean I don't want your jobs to suffer cause of me"
"Don't worry Harry dear we agreed to this as per our convenience for me I have evening shifts at my St. Mungos on those two days," Andi replied with a smile, reassuring him.
Amelia nodded in the agreement saying "Yes as for me my job on those days is to simply review the paperwork, organize and allot the shifts of Aurors. Then for the rest of the days, it is to review the progress on different cases which is mostly after lunch. So I can tutor you in the morning and go to work after lunch"
Apolline who was nervous to speak up in between finally gathered some courage to suggest "Can I 'elp in training Harry?" her question shocked everyone at the table.
Sirius took a sip of his juice before asking "Ms. Delacour you are welcomed but what will you train him in?"
"Languages Monsieur Black, 'e can never improve if 'e's language is not upto mark. Also, I am a Transfiguration Mistress" she said eying Harry.
He looked at her in surprise before sheepishly agreeing with her saying "Apolline is right I am pretty bad at Gaelic which I will need to understand everything you all teach better and I know any one of you can teach me that but its better to divide the load"
Thinking for a minute Sirius nodded saying "Ah! That makes my work easy as I don't have to find another teacher for transfiguration, Okay Mrs. Delacour will fit your lessons in there." Apolline gave an appreciative look with a nod.
Looking thoughtful crossing his hands he mused "Now that leaves Charms, Runes and Arithmancy"
That's when Fleur spoke up saying "I can 'elp him in Runes and Arithmancy"
Sirius grinned looking at her before turning to Harry saying "So it seems your ladies got it covered huh?" this caused everyone to chuckle.
Sirius waved his wand and parchments in front of teens to glow as the schedule on it changed.

"There, that's the final schedule for the whole summer" Sirius grinned socketing his new 9" Fir wand with Grime Fang core ( same as his first Oak wand), into his forearm holster starting at his breakfast.
Breakfast was eaten in relative silence for the next few minutes. Finished with the breakfast everyone shifted to the lounge area.
"Okay, Harry- Bear I will see you when I come back, don't miss me too much okay?" Dora said smirking at the end of the last sentence mischievously.
He snickered saying "Oh I will but I will survive" in a mock wistful tone.
Dora chuckled saying shaking her head before swatting him on his shoulder blushing and saying to him "Okay Loverboy see you later" she gave a chaste kiss on the lips before leaving through floo.
Seeing her Daughter happy with her intention, Andromeda smiled sadly remembering a time when she too was happy with Ted her husband. Now she was all alone with no one to turn to for love and care, no one to talk with about how her day went and no one to hold her when she wanted to hug someone. Lost in nostalgia she never saw that someone noticed her.
"Andi are you okay? You look a little down and ….sad" the voice that brought her out of her nostalgic trance was Harry's. She had some moisture in her eyes turning to the young teen who had a concerned expression as he was looking at her.
She gave him a half-hearted smile saying "Oh it's nothing dear just thinking about some things that don't matter"
Harry took a sad woman's hand in both of his saying "I am here for you Andi If you ever want someone to talk to" giving her a reassuring smile.
Andi hide her shock under the mask of a smile as she gave him a nod, it was as if he read what she thought just a minute ago about how she wished she had someone to talk to. She was after a long time she felt sparks of something warm & fuzzy.
It horrified her that she felt this way towards Harry who was going to marry her daughter and sister. She suppressed that feeling resolving not to act on it. Not now, not ever!
Their short interaction was observed by yet another person who was in the same situation as Andromeda as she too was pining for her daughter to the husband. Apolline smiled knowing the woman she was looking at was in the same position as her which was clear from her blink and miss look of attraction towards Harry.
Harry smiled tapping the older woman's hand before settling between settling on the couch between Rose and Amelia. Susan turned to him asking "So what you want to do you guys want to do in your free time, Harry?"
He simply shrugged saying "I don't know" he paused for a second before continued grinning ear to ear and saying "I know one thing I want to do" with a suggestive tone but was swatted by Amelia at the back of his head as she chided "Pervert!"
"Ouch! I was not thinking about that Amy! I was thinking about taking all you ladies to date at least once before summer ends" Harry said rubbing the back of his head.
"OH!" Amelia exclaimed blushing heavily covering her mouth looking at her eyes wide as a galleon and didn't say anything else. Looking at this everyone in the room chuckled as it was not very often they saw the stern head of DMLE blush bright red as if she was a teen girl.
"Aw Amy! You look so cute when your blushing" Harry cooed pulling one of Amy's cheeks making her blush to an unseen level of red from his compliment.
"Just like you isn't it 'Arry?" Fleur came to the rescue of her sister-wife and in the process made him have pink dust on his cheeks.
Shaking his head Harry continued "As I was saying I want to take all of you on a date on Sundays when we are all free" smiling seeing all the ladies beaming at him but soon he noticed them frown which confused him and so he asked "What?"
"Erm…. Harry- Bear it's just that we were thinking who will be first to go on the date" This time it was Bella who answered his confusion.
Harry grinned at this saying "That's easy to answer" he was interrupted by Susan asking "and what it that"
Harry continued "I was going to say that to Sue before you interrupted" this made the redhead mouth sorry to him as he continued shooting her a smile and continuing "I have spent the most time with you" looking at Susan before continuing "Fleur, Daphne, and Dora as we were together in school for 10 months and will be in future"
"But I spent less time with Amy and almost none with Rose & Bella apart from dinner with Fleur's dinner. So I feel I need to take Rose first, then Bella, Amy, Dora, Susan, Daphne, and Fleur. I hope all of you understand" looking at Fleur and Susan.
Fleur surprised by the level of his understanding smiled saying "Oui 'Arry we do and you're right" her statement got a nod from Susan sitting beside her.
Amelia was astonished by the raven-haired teen's level of maturity, that's when she remembered that her Fiance had a hard life and his maturity was the call of the hour as he had been forced to do so. It pained her so much that it was almost ridiculous.
She wanted to know more about him and his life but she couldn't push him to reveal it cause she knew it would only push him away. So she had to wait for him to open himself on his own accords to her and she will.
Rose beamed at the young man sitting beside her, Arthur, her Arthur she knew that he was the late king of Avalon but he had signs of being king and she knew it in her bones he would be a great Husband. But there was something wrong with him not but it was not his nature of the way he was, no he was perfect in every sense of the word. No, it was his magic! It had a small part of foul magic that reeked darkness from just above his right eyebrow in the scar which to her looked like a thunderbolt. Other than that his magic was pure and powerful. His aura was of myriad colors.
She knew all this cause she possessed Magic sight, which allowed her to see auras that had different colors as the person's magic. It was only recently that after her magic stabilized and this passive ability of her's resurfaced. She was now concerned as to what it was that infected her intended's magic but for now, she was happy being with him and going on 'date?' a term that was a foreign term to her about which she had to ask about it to Bella. She turned to look at the woman in question only her smiling in bliss much like Amelia.
Bella was happiest at that moment than she could remember in her long miserable life. She was finally going to spend some quality with her Harry Bear. She was excited to teach Harry everything she knew but the idea of just two of them alone spending time with each other made her heart flutter. She was jumping with excitement in her seat.
Harry saw all three women beamed at his decision. He was relieved that they all agreed. He turned to see Fleur and Susan only to see them a little down as they were last in the order for the dates. He knew he will have to talk with them about this later in the day
"But how will even go out? It's dangerous out there now that….. Well, you know" Sirius hated to bum them out like that but he had to as for him nothing was more important than Harry's safety.
Harry simply smiled saying "Yes but there are fewer chances for him to attack us if we are in out for a date on the muggle London" his answer seemed to somewhat placate his worried godfather.
It was when a brown owl came in and landed on Harry's shoulder. The next moment Hedwig came only to land on Harry's other shoulder. She hooted at the brown owl who hooted back. The exchange went on for a minute as everyone watched in amusement at the owls conversing
Finally, the brown owl poked his leg out offering the letter which was tied to its leg. Harry untied it and the brown owl left. Unfolding the letter he read.
Heir Potter,
We would like to invite you to my house to discuss the situation between you and my eldest daughter, Daphne. We will be expecting you on Saturday at 6 along with Lord Black.
This letter is a portkey set to activate at 5:55 PM on Saturday the activation word is 'Clover'
Lord & Lady Greengrass
"Who is the letter from Pup?" Sirius asked seeing Harry becoming slightly nervous reading whatever it was in the letter.
Harry shook his head saying "Oh it's nothing invitation from Daphne's parents for us that you and me to meet them for dinner this Saturday"
That's when Amelia stood up saying "Okay Harry time for your first lesson of the day" offering him her head which he took pulling himself up and following her to the library.
Taking seat side by side at the table in the vast common library of the manor it was Amelia who started "So how much do you know about the wizarding world in general?"
"Well I know we can't use magic in front of muggles or anywhere near the muggle area. I know there is a ministry that is a governing body of the wizarding world. There is a Houses which I know but don't really understand" Harry explained all that he knew in all honesty.
Amelia cursed of hearing the pure lack of knowledge that to from an Heir of multiple prominent Houses. She shook out of her stupor taking a deep breath and starting "Okay lets from the basic. Okay?" receiving a nod as an answer
"Wizarding Britain fall's under the rule of her majesty just like all muggle side. Now Ministry is the only governing body while the Wizengamot makes bills and passes them to become the law. It also judges and rules out the verdicts as it acts as the judiciary. Now on to the basic structure of the Wizengamot"
"There are 250 seats in the Wizengamot, out of those 7 seats of absolute power that are Arcane seats of power of House Of Pendragon, Emrys, Le Fay, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. They have 4 votes each and the right to veto any decision they wish. Then we have Sacred 7 which are House Potter, Black, Longbottom, Bones, Malfoy, Greengrass, and Lestrange. They have 3 votes each and can veto if they all have a majority among them to do so. Then comes the Minor houses like Davis, Abbot, Zabini etcetera. They have 2 votes each but no right to veto. Then last at the chain are houses like Weasley who only have one vote"
"So in short the hierarchy goes something like this. Arcane Houses, Most Noble and Most Ancient Houses, Most Noble and Ancient or Noble and Most Ancient Houses than Ancient House. Following me?" receiving a nod she smiled seeing attentive look on her face.
"It was found to govern the Wizarding community in Britain to guide them in the future after their time came to end" she paused when Harry raised his hand to ask the question.
"Why Le fay? I mean she was sworn enemy of King Arthur and Merlin so why did she help them in establishing the Wizengamot?" he asked with a confused expression on his face adorning his face.
Amelia looked thoughtful for a minute before answering "I don't know why she did but there is a dedicated seat in the Wizangamot room. Her history is convoluted and depicts her as a nemesis of Merlin and King Arthur. In my opinion, somewhere in the passage of time, her true story was lost just like the lady of the lake. Let's continue,"
"After the Arcane Seven come Sacred seven who are families 2nd wealthiest after Arcane 7. They either own almost every large establishment or have investments in them. They have helped our community to be where it is now. Until now they were the power above all and had major say in the election of a minister" she paused seeing Harry once again raising his hand and giving a nod for him to ask his question.
"Then how did Fudge become the minister? I mean you, Neville's grandmother, and others could have stopped him. Appointing a better minister, not a pounce who runs from the problems and buried his head in the sand to ignore the facts staring at him in the face" he quipped making Amelia snicker a little.
"Well after your parent's death" she paused only to see a flash of sadness in his eyes and felt a pang of sorrow herself too, she continued " the seat was vacant, the black family was all but empty as only heir was imprisoned. Me and Augusta Longbottom opposed it but Malfoy along with Lestrange bribed multiple officials and that way the Bumbling fool named Fudge became the minister" contempt for the man showed clear in her voice.
Harry gave her a nod of understanding saying "Well I bet you can be a much better minister than him"
Amelia chuckled nodding "Oh people offered me the post but I rejected it back cause I already had too much on my plate with Susan and my own job. Now I don't want to" sighing before continuing " that's enough of that for today and we will continue on Monday" and standing up to leave.
Harry too stood up to say "I look forward to it Amy" looking in her ember orbs before leaning in to plant a chaste kiss on her lips.
Amelia reveled in the feeling of his soft lips even if it was only for a moment. Smirking at him she said "Me too Harry" and with that, she left the library with pink dust on her cheeks and was followed by Harry for the lunch in the dining room for lunch.
It was a relatively quiet lunch as Sirius was out for a meeting at ministry about which he didn't talk about, Andi was at her shift at St. Mungos while Apolline went back to France to inform Alain about her living arrangement for the summer and also to bring Gabrielle to the Black Manor. Amelia left as soon as her lunch was finished after pecking Harry before flooing to her private office.
So it was only Harry, Fleur, Susan, Bella, Rose, and Narcissa. Finishing the breakfast Fleur looked stood up asking "Ready 'Arry?" a little stiffly than her usual self.
He sighed knowing the reason behind her odd behavior and knew he had to talk to her. He smiled at her saying "I am lead the way my lady" doing a bow. This made French veela to snicker a little along with other ladies in the room.
"My My, such a Gentleman" Bella teased. He shot her a smile before following Fleur back to the library.
Taking the same seats just like before Harry waited as Fleur brought some books and scrolls to help the session. She took Amelia's seat setting all the study material on the table.
"Fleur before we start tell me honestly, are you upset about my decision about dates?" Harry asked taking hold of both of her hands looking deep into her sapphire blue eyes.
Fleur looked like a deer caught in the headlight. She thought she was able to mask her dismay about his decision but she clearly was wrong. She gave a nod before saying "Oui 'Arry I am upset"
"Do think my decision is wrong?" he asked looking expectantly at her waiting for an answer.
Fleur looked up at him her eyes wide "Que? Non! Non! 'Arry! it's just zat even we 'aven't gone on a proper date after zat day in Hogsmeade" she ended looking down at her lap.
Nodding saying "I know love and we will it's just I have to do this cause I promised not only you but also to myself that I will treat all of my ladies equally. That includes spending equal time between all of them. I spent half a year with you, Susan, and Daphne, Hours with Amelia, and mere minutes with Rose and Bella. So I owe it to them, you, and also most of all myself to make good on the promise I made. I just want to keep my word and make all of you happy" he said smiling at her.
Fleur now guilty for getting upset over such a menial thing nodded with a smile saying "I am sorry 'Arry for being such an idiot" only to be kissed by him stopping her rant before it could begin.
As the kiss ended Harry said "Now shall we start?" receiving a nod he leaned back waiting for her to start the lesson.
Fleur flashed him a grin her passion for the subjects showing in her voice as she started "Okay 'Arry we will start from basics Oui?" receiving a nod she continued "Tell me what do you know about ze uses of Runes and Arithmancy in our daily life?"
Harry thought for a moment or two saying "I know that they are used in warding properties and arithmancy is used in making spells. Oh and Runes are also used in our wands other than that I don't know" last line little meekly.
Fleur cocked her head in surprise asking "didn't you take Runes and Arithmancy this year 'Arry?" only to get a nod as an answer and waited for him to elaborate.
"I did but I didn't attend much due to a tournament going on" in a tone of shame on his lack of sincerity in attending classes.
Fleur shook her head said "Don't be ashamed 'Arry you did what you 'ad to survive so don't be feel ashamed about it, Okay?" a nod and she continued,
"Now what you just said are some uses but not all. You like flying Oui?"
"Like? I Love it"
"Do you know your Broom uses runes to function?"
Surprised by revelation Harry could only gape shaking his head dumbly.
Fleur snickered at his reaction saying "As I suspected you didn't. Now you understand 'Arry Runes are essential parts of our daily life and without them, we won't be able to function as we do today. Arithmancy helps in creating runic arrays which are activated when magic is circulated in them. Once again let's take your broom as an example, it has a Flying array interlinked with stabilizing, powering, and hovering array. These interlinked arrays make a circuit that works as one unit and allow you to control it better. Arithmancy is also used in spell making and more importantly in warding"
The lesson was interesting as Harry was starting to understand the importance and also why Fleur was so passionate about it. He was excited to learn all about it and especially about warding and runes in the course of these 2 months.
At 4 Harry exited the Library for the last time in the day.
Trying to relax from their studies Harry, Fleur, and Susan started a game of exploding snaps which were then joined by Bella and Rose who were eager to learn a new thing just like she was she woke up from her sleep of stasis.
It was after an hour that Andi, Sirius, Apolline, and Gabby! The little bullet of excitement shot across the room squealing "Arry!"
The impact of the silver bullet hitting his torso threw him back on the carpet of the lounge room on his back, making everyone laugh or chuckle.
Looking down at the silver-haired mess wrapped around him, Harry couldn't help but chuckle saying "Hey Gabby! How are you?"
The beaming Little girl looked up at him saying "I am fine Harry, how are you? I am so happy I am going to live with you for the whole summer! We will have so much fun!" giggling in French was translated by Fleur for him.
He grinned back saying "Of course, we will"
Gabby released him only to shoot in Fleur's direction hugging her sisters and started talking in French rapidly. He chuckled seeing Susan trying and failing to understand Delacour sister's conversation.
"Well, Pup how was the first day of your summer training?" Sirius asked patting his godson on the shoulder grinning as always. Harry sighed saying "Well I enjoyed it and definitely a pleasure spending time with ladies" glancing at the group of ladies.
"Yeah I know you are living my bloody dream Pup and that to better than me, no scratch that better than any man could" Sirius praised him while remembering a time when he used to dream of harem for himself.
"Really Padfoot? Your dream was to have a Harem? Wow! That's a surprise!" Harry said deadpanned at the older wizard
"Ah! Reputation precede's me everywhere" Sirius said smugly before barking laughter along with the green-eyed teen. Calming down he drew a took out a small package and kept in on the table in front and enlarged it.
It was 2 feet long paper-wrapped box with tied with a twinge. On one side of the wrapping paper 4 hilts of wooden peeking out of it.
"Oh, the Swords are here!"Rose squealed in excitement as she drew one of the four wooden swords. She admired the dull double-edged broadsword for a minute. Before she started moving it around in fluid movements. To others, she looked like she was dancing and that left everyone in the room around her mesmerized.
"Wow…" Harry exclaimed standing in awe of the sword-wielding beauty that was in front of him. 'Yep luckiest bloke in the world' he repeated in his head.
Rose ended her blade dance with a power cross swing downwards from right to left. Her trance was broken when everyone in the room started applauding. She was blushing profusely.
"That was amazing Rose!" Susan squealed
"Magnifique!" Fleur said in awe of what she just witnessed
"Who taught you to fight like that Rose?" it was Harry who asked still looking mind blown by Rose's sword skills.
Beaming at him Rose answered "I was taught by Sir Galahad as self-defense as the war was upon us back then" her smile turned from one of excitement to sad nostalgia "I miss him he was my only teacher back then women were not allowed to learn the way of the sword but taught me on fathers request in secret"
"Well, it's our honor, getting trained by a protege of one of the knights of round table and that too from his beautiful protege. Let's get started shall we?" changing the topic as Harry could see Rose getting gloomy thinking about her time, it worked as she cheered up at the aspect of teaching him.
"Okay, but I will warn all of you I will not be lenient just because you are my intended or to- be- sister wives," smirking Rose said to which Harry, Fleur, and Susan grinned.
"Okay then take a sword each and follow me" with that all four of them made their way out to the front lawn.
"Okay then for the first lesson we will train instances of the sword they are basics to make you familiar with the swords. So there are 14 stances I will demonstrate 7 of them today and you will practice them every day in the morning after your physical workout that is" getting nods from all three of them she continued.
"Close Stance" she held her sword with a both of her hands at her torso level
"this most basic stance which you normally take and used mostly when you are fighting in cramped places"
"High Stance" she held the sword above her head, "this leaves you most vulnerable to attacks to most of your body. It is to defend the strike from above"
"Hanging Stance " she held her sword hilt the above while the tip pointed 45-degree angle downwards to the ground "this a better option than high stances as it allows you to defend your whole upper and middle body. But it still leaves your lower body to attacks"
"Guard Stance" she held the sword closer to her body saying "it is to guard your body when fighting in close quarters "
"Long Stance" the extended her arms to full length "This is used to keep your opponents in at length from your body. It is useful when you are fighting to save someone around your vicinity or to keep your foe away from your body"
"Inside Stance" she drew her hands back to her body "this is used to draw your opponent who is using the long stance near you to so you can attack them better"
"Back stance" she lowered her hands to the side of her hips "this is not used much in a fight unless you are fighting someone who is a novice and uses high stance way too much than necessary"
"Be one with your sword. Don't think of it as a tool you use but as an extension of your arm just like your want. Now practice stances and then we will do a little sparing" Rose ordered her charges and all three of them started as their master ordered.
It was after an hour that Rose called them up for spares. They were outmatched in comparison to her and tired from an hour of stance practicing. By the end, they were bruised, beaten, and tired.
That night all three of them slept with their bodies aching.
