Mrs. J.K., I am my biggest fan! I love to read my own stories! Or I am losing my short-term memory and don't remember what I wrote… Meh, either way, it was fun.

I smiled at his serious face. "Dobby, even when you promise it to ten Elves, I will accept it because you asked. You wanted to save Harry; that makes you my hero."
Ten minutes later, I hired Mipsy, twenty minutes later, Polly, and thirty minutes later, Nappy. Hmm, I think I shot myself in the foot.
20. Christmas.
I looked at my eight new elves and sighed. I promised Dobby I would hire them and had to keep my word. He did have a scary look in his eyes. I said, "Welcome to the family. You all know Dobby; besides him, House Black has Penny, the head elf, and Kreacher. We are working closely with House Potter. So will all of you, too. If Tapsy, the head elf from House Potter, asks you to do some work for her House, consider it the same as a demand from Penny."
I got serious: "But first, we must hide that I poached you from your old Master. Therefore, I will temporarily relocate you all to Black Island. There, you will renovate the old building and build a new wing next to it."
"You will also build House Elf quarters," I saw their puzzled faces and clarified, "I do not know what the ideal House Elf home looks like, so I leave that to you. Sit down with Penny, Dobby, and Kreacher, and ask them and Tapsy for advice."
I added, "Keep in mind that this will be where our Elves come when they are pregnant and have their children and stay until the child is ready to move around with his or her mother or father."
Mipsy raised her hand and asked, "Master is allowing us to make babies?"
I nodded, "I do. You are in House Black; I consider all House Black Elves my family. If you want to have a child, I won't stand in your way. You also have my blessing if you want to place your child into a good family. I won't ask for money for that. We don't sell family."
I looked at them when I studied their outfits. "What I do ask is that you dress properly. I don't like pillowcases. Whatever you wear, the Black House Crest has to be on it, so everyone knows you are a Black. Now, Kreacher will imprint the locations of the Black properties, pop to the island, and come back in two weeks. Then, I will introduce you to the house guests."

The Grangers organized the Christmas party, with all the bells and whistles included. They had to show that muggl… normals can throw a party too. The parents of the witches got fashion advice from their kids and were dressed normalish.
Christmas, being a family celebration, Tina, Cristina, Taylor, and Ariana could only stay for a few hours before they had to be home. Dobby did the transport so that they could keep a bit longer. The first guests arrived just after lunch. Penny delivered Harry, Luna, Daphne, Astoria, and Tracey off at Hermione's house. The parents were inbound at four o'clock. That was enough time for the kids to explore Hermione's house and get an explanation of the Normal Way of Life.
Harry gave our gift to the Grangers. When they unwrapped it, Harry explained, "It is a two-way mirror. The big one is for here, and the other one is for Hermione. That way, you can talk to Hermione for twenty minutes a week. It works on ambient Magic, so it needs a week to recharge here. The password is… Air! Hermione, I need air."
I know. That is a classic but helpful gift. A lot of Fan Fiction uses it, so it proves my point. The girls got one in their room at Grimmauld, too. They can chat all day if they want. Both sides are Magicals, so there is plenty of Magic to fuel it.
Tracey whispered to me, "Don't give one to my parents! We have our owls. I don't want my parents to nag at me every day."
I grinned and whispered back, "I won't, but don't blame me when they hear about it and buy one for themselves."
Tracey groaned for a bit and caved in. She sighed, "I suppose I can spare some time with them every day… week."
I patted her back, "Be glad you have parents who love you, Tracey. Not everyone is that lucky. Besides, you will remember those talks as treasured memories in a few decades. You could fuel a Patronus with them."
Daphne asked, "What Memory are you using for your Patronus, Siri?"
I smiled fondly, "Several of them, mostly the one when I took my Godfather Oath for Harry or the day he was born and held him in my arms for the first time. The days I played with Harry and Nimmy when I was babysitting them are high up there too."
Luna, who heard me, asked, "What about the memories you made with your sluts?"
I slowly nodded, "I can use some of them too, I suppose. I've made a lot of happy memories lately," I rubbed her head. I bet you made a lot of them too, isn't it, little Moonbeam?"
Luna nodded, "Interviewing you was the best decision I made this year, Uncle Siri. I made a lot of happy memories."

The Grangers got some Magical help for the dinner. Instead of ordering from a caterer, they asked Tapsy, with Harry's permission, to prepare the meal and deliver it to the table. They gave her the traditional Christmas recipes, and Tapsy delivered.
Mr. Granger explained, "We don't burn logs anymore. If everyone did that, the country would have no more trees. At most, we burn some small logs in a fireplace, one we don't have. Some countries replace it with a cake in the shape of a tree trunk and eat it instead. We have the Plum cake, Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, Mince pies, and Yorkshire pudding, to name the most important ones."
He smiled at Harry and said, "You have to compliment Tapsy and her crew. They did a fabulous job."
Cyrus Greengrass commented, "Yule and Christmas don't differ a lot. It is a family gathering and a celebration of a new start to the year."
Luna giggled, "We celebrate both. That means two presents instead of one."
I dryly commented, "Presents are the reason those holidays are kept alive. With the ban on rituals, Yule lost a lot of its purpose, and people lost their interest in it outside for the dinner and presents."
Mr. Granger asked, "Do you think you can bring the rituals back? You said they were banned almost a half-century ago."
I nodded, "If you want attention, you have to organize a crusade. It works every time. Free Jerusalem a thousand years ago, hunt some witches in the sixteenth century, kill some Muggles fifty years ago, go after Muggleborn twenty years ago. Dumbledore convinced everyone that Rituals were the cause of all evil, and too many rituals go wrong, so let's ban them all."
Xeno Lovegood said, "Dumbledore just defeated Grindelwald, and everyone was in awe of the new Lord Of The Light. Rituals are evil, Dumbledore said, so it must be true. You Know Who confirmed it for everyone by his looks and crazy rampage through Britain."
Bernard Davis shook his head. "Reinstalling Rituals will be a daunting task, Sirius. Changing someone's belief is easy; changing it back is hard. People don't want to admit they are wrong or fooled by a con artist. That is the right expression, right?"
I nodded, "It is. I can wait. It will improve once the books of Dumbledore's life are in the bookstores and the reports of the laws he perverted are explained to the public. I will let his pedestal crumble, piece by piece."
"Well, you made a good head start," said Cyrus. "It was a good idea to let the Daily Prophet report every law we corrected with an explanation of who was responsible for the old one and why it needed to be corrected. It made the people more involved, too, going on the commentaries."
Veronica interrupted us, "Talk politics tomorrow. We have a party here. Sirius, I thought Amelia would be here today. Is she at the Ministry?"
I shook my head. "No, she is with Susan and Hannah. Neville is courting them, and they are celebrating Christmas at the Abbots. Cissy knows we are at a party and is having one of her own with Eleanor, Aretha, and their kids. Tonks and Jones are with Ted and Andromeda."
Harry commented, "Tonks and Jones are popular at Hogwarts; almost all of the male Newt students have a crush on them."
Harry turned his head to me and grinned evilly, "The female NEWT students are crushing on Siri. Even the OWL and fourth years are swooning over him."
I shrugged, "I am handsome. It is a burden I can live with. Being a role model for the youth is only natural for me. It is important that I stay humble. Hmm, I have to work on that."
Tracey chuckled, "You have a fan club in Slytherin, Uncle Siri. All the senior girls are members of it. They are pestering Daphne and me for details of your life and ask if we know stories of your time in Azkaban."
I shuddered. "That is something I want to forget, to be honest. The first thing I did when I got posted as a guard was improve the food they served. I had a few words with the cooks, and the quality improved a lot."
At the puzzled faces, I clarified, "I told them they could try their own food for a few years if they keep embezzling the funds for the food in Azkaban. I got immediate results. The food was horrible before. Now it is almost edible."
I looked up, "This is not a topic for a party, Hermione. Tell us about Hogwarts!"
Hermione smiled, "You were right with our elective courses. We can do the Muggle studies OWLS easily, and Divination is useless if you don't have a talent for it. All our normal courses are harder. We have two years to catch up to get on the same level as other schools. Professor Beaumont throws a tantrum every other week about the quality of the potion course of the last years."
Daphne giggled, "We heard him yell at Dumbledore's painting at least five times last month. We learned a lot of French swear words; a lot of them sound the same in English, like idiots and imbeciles."
"The Quidditch matches are more exciting now everyone has top-quality brooms," reported Tracey, "Harry butchered Draco in the first game, but we get a better team now that Flint and Pucey are gone. Girls are allowed to play now. I am the reserve chaser, and Bulstrode is the reserve Beater. I bet we are starters next year. Oh, Sirius, Hooch said hi, and to pay a visit when you have the time."
Hmm, I can do that, she was a great fuck, maybe I have to snap my fingers again.
Harry moaned, "Stop talking about Quidditch, please. Wood is driving us mad. Training at six AM is madness. He expects me to find a snitch in the pitch dark. Then he spends hours harping about tactical plays. The rest of the time, he puts us on guard duty to keep the twins out of trouble. I am training Ginny as a reserve Seeker in case I go berserk and break my broom on Wood's head."
Daphne changed the subject: "Care for Creatures is interesting. We got to pet Unicorns and see all kinds of Class I Creatures, like Pixies and Doxies."
Hermione nodded, "It was. My favorite class is Arithmancy, though. It makes more sense when you put it into numbers."
Tina stood up, "As fun it was listening to stories about Hogwarts, we have to go home, Hermione, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, thank you for inviting us. Harry, we will visit you tomorrow. Goodbye, everyone. Dobby? Can you take us home?"
When the girls were gone, Veronica commented, "It is heartwarming to see they accept Magic without getting jealous about it. Those four girls are exceptional."
I nodded, "Cissy and I are spoiling them a bit. I can't have children of my own, so they are the closest I can get to feeling what it is like to have daughters. Cissy views them as her daughters, too."
I pointed at Harry, "I have Harry as my son and eight future Daughters-in-Law, so I can't complain."
Luna added, "Nine next year."
Astoria glared at Luna, "Stop it, Lovegood! I said no way, and it stays that way."
Luna protested, "Come on, Tory, can you name one that is better than Harry?"
Astoria thought for a bit, "Well, Blaise is dreamy. Even Draco shaped up, but he is linked with Pansy. Cedric Diggory is handsome. Roger, Tracey's brother, is a hunk, too. You see? There is plenty of choice."
Cyrus felt chills running up and down his spine, "I was hoping that sort of talk was four or five years away from now."
Luna whispered, "Next year, you'll see."

Back home, I was alone in my bed, the sluts were spending quality time with their brats, and I would not have it any other way. I have been tapping my sluts for months, to be honest, I can use a break. The sluts missed their kids too, letters can not replace them, so they make the most of the little time they have with them.
Amy is organizing the Ministry end-of-year ball, which is due in two days. Who am I going to bring as my date? I get all of them: Me and Plus Four. This ball is essential for Amy. The corrupt ones are gone, and the Dark Faction took a big hit. We might even enjoy the ball.
That, and I can show off my sluts to everyone. I noticed lately that they enjoyed my company and are trying to be a part of my life. That is why their kids are coming over for two days to spend time with us.
Except for Susan, who is joined by the hip with Hannah and is spending time with Neville. Not that it matters; Harry and Neville are good friends, and the girls are mingling at school. So tomorrow, I have Draco, Theo, and Pansy in the house. Great.

Luna sat next to Harry at the breakfast table, happily chatting with Tonks and Jones about Hogsmeade. The girls arrived with their bookcases, ready to do their homework. Ten minutes later, Daphne, Astoria, and Tracey flood in. Last is Hermione. For every newcomer, another plate appears on the table.
I looked at Harry. That's eleven women against two blokes! We can not win! The girls were catching up and chattered about school, fashion, and a thousand other things I zoned out about.
I asked Harry, "Draco, Theo, and Pansy are coming over after breakfast. Can you entertain them? They will be coming here more eventually."
Harry slowly nodded, "We can do that. After Healer Fenwick dispelled them, they became bearable. Snape's betrayal hit hard with Draco; it meant he did not mean or botched the Godfather Oath somehow."
I thought for a bit, "It could be that Snape convinced himself that it was for Draco's own good or that he did not know Dumbledore spelled Draco. Dumbledore kept a lot of secrets."
Harry shrugged, "You better not tell him that. You arrested Snape and had him kissed; he might resent you for that."
I shook my head, "Nope. When he finds out I hid that for him, it will be worse. Besides, I can handle some teenage drama. I can cope with Tonks and Jones. When you can handle them, you can handle everything."
"Hey!" came from two mouths, Tonks added. " Ask any student in Hogwarts; we are adorable and sexy! We can even hold you off for ten minutes when we duel!"
I nodded, "That is why every Auror that had both of you on his team feels sorry for me. You are a handful and constantly teasing me. If you were eight years older, I would shag you; if you were eight years younger, I would put you over my knee and spank your bare ass. Now I just endure you."
Jones giggled, "You kinky old man! Who would have thought you wanted to spank our bare butt. Tonks, we have to tell your mother that her cousin has impure thoughts about us."
I shrugged, "Impure? Nope, violent ones? Definitively. I see that we are due for another training session. Be ready in twenty minutes."
Tonks groaned, "Please, not today."
I grinned, "Yes, today. Harry and his girls have to see your progress; Draco and Theo will be curious, too."
Tonks glared at Jones, "Did you have to tease him? You know he won't fall for that."
Jones shook her head. " I'm sorry, but I could not stop. It is like he is provoking me to do so."

Cissy, Eleanor, and Aretha arrived with the brats. After the introductions were over, Draco and Pansy were almost friendly with the girls. They followed us to the dueling chamber. Yes, this house has everything.
Tonks and Jones changed their outfit. They wore pants, "Let's see if you can flash our knickers this time, pervert," said Jones.
Tonks elbowed Jones, "Don't provoke him, you cunt! Did you forget last time you did that?"
"Cissy, you are the referee today," I said. "Start it whenever you want."
"Alright, this is a two-against-one practice duel, no unforgivable or killing blows. Try to keep the limbs attached to the body. On three, one, two, THREE!"
Tonks and Jones opened with a barrage of spells, not alone focused on me but next to me too, so that I would evade into the other spell; I was just in time to erect a stone wall and fortify it with a steel plate in front.
I apparated behind them after I left a surprise for them and gave them a stinging hex on their ass. They swore and apparated behind my wall, right into a swamp. Tonks and Jones were stuck shoulder-deep in the mud. I apparated behind them and froze the mud solid. Two Expeliarmus later, Cissy said, "Round one is for Siri."
Jones complained while shivering, "Th… tha… that was bloody wet and cooold!"
I shrugged, "You know the spells; use them." I looked at the students. "Warming charms, drying charms, and cleaning charms are as crucial as attack or defense spells. Once you can apparate and you apparate into a trap, apparate right out of it before the enemy can close the trap."
Cissy announced, "Round two, One, Two, THREE!"
Tonks and Jones appeared right behind me. I dropped to the floor, and Mule kicked both in the stomach. While they flew backward, I turned and disarmed them again.
"Round two is for Sirius. Said Cissy.
I looked at the kids, "If you apparate behind the enemy, be sure you are out of his physical reach or close enough to cut him or her with a knife or blunt weapon. You don't always have to use a weapon."
Draco protested, "But you were dueling! You are not allowed to use weapons in duels!"
I smiled at him, "The difference, Draco, is this is not an official tournament, and we are not training for one. We are practicing for a street duel, a fight between two criminals and one Auror if that makes more sense to you. And as you can see, they still have all four limbs, maybe a sore belly."
Cissy announced, "Round Three! One, Two, THREE!"
This time, Tonks went to the offense, and Jones erected a stone wall to hide behind. I conjured a metal shield Roman style and rushed to Tonks and Jones, keeping the shield in front of me. I took a side step from time to time to make aiming difficult. I threw the shield at Tonks, jumped over the wall, grabbed Jones, and held her at wand point.
"Round three goes to Sirius," said Cissy.
I lectured, "Keep a basic set of spells, train them so you can do them without hesitating, stun, disarm, blast, cut, and bind, for example. I surprised Tonks and Jones with my action, a simple blast against my shield would have stopped me enough to take me out. You can win by doing the unexpected. I took a big risk with it, but sometimes that is all you have going for you," I shrugged, "It could get you killed, too."
Tonks growled, "Start round four already. I have to wipe that smug look from his face."
Cissy nodded, "Round four, One, Two, THREE!"
Tonks and Jones started to apparate, cast a spell and apparate again, not giving me time to counterattack, I had to evade a barrage of spells coming from all sides. I had to guess where they would appear and send a spell that way. Too bad they kept Apparating to random spots.
I kept swatting their spells away instead of shielding until Jones apparated in front of me and Tonks behind. I was too slow to react and took a stunner in the back while swatting Jones's spell away.
Cissy revived me while Tonks was lecturing the kids, "Never be too cocky, or you get your ass handed out to you. No matter how good you are, there is always someone better, or smarter in this case," She smirked at me, "another thing to remember is never let your enemy learn what you know."
Cissy rolled her eyes, "Round five, One, Two, THREE!"
I took a wardstone out of my pocket at One, activated it at Two, and threw it on the floor at THREE! Tonks and Jones apparated and screamed when they arrived at their destination… butt naked.
I disarmed them and grinned, "There is someone smarter."
Jones yelled at me, "You bloody pervert! Give my wand back so I can summon my clothes!" then she turned to the slack-jawed boys and growled, "What are you little perverts looking at? Turn around!"
Cissy announced, "Round five goes to Sirius. That is a nasty wardstone, Siri. Did you have any usage in mind for it?"
I shrugged, "Not for this one; it is useless out there in a fight. When they apparate, it is mostly to escape. Who cares if they arrive home naked? That does not win a fight. This was mostly to test if I could attach spells to someone Apparating away."
Jones cooled down, "First you want to fuck us, then you want to spank our bare ass, and now you got us naked. Is there a hidden message behind this, pervert?"
I nodded, "Yes, I will let you know if I can come up with a good one. Nice snatch, by the way." I turned to the kids, "The show is over. Think about what spell I can attach to that stone instead of the switching spell."
Jones groaned, "That stone is bloody dangerous, Sirius! A blasting spell, and they arrive home in pieces."
I picked the stone up and deactivated it. "It has its limits. There are only three charges in it before it goes inert and has to be powered up again."
Tonks complained, "Those brats saw us naked. That will let the rumor mill go crazy next Hogsmeade weekend. You saw me naked, Sirius!"
I shrugged, "I changed your nappies, Tonks; of course, I saw you naked. Get over it."

The purebloods got their first introduction to the Computer Era when they watched the girls print out their homework, and Hermione search the Web. With wide eyes, they saw Taylor type letters faster than they could write them and print them out on paper.
Taylor commented, "I save this paper on this computer, and I can print it out again whenever I want. If I want to correct some words, I can easily do that and print it again. If I want fancy writing, I change the letter type to Puffypuf or Proun Bold; it will make your paper look completely different."
Taylor got into lecture mode, "You can insert drawings or pictures. We work with Windows Office; this is Excel. You can let it calculate anything you can imagine; you just have to write the correct formula and insert the data."
Taylor demonstrated several examples, and then Christina showed a PC game, Doom, that got the boy's blood boiling. Shooting and kicking enemies into a bloody mess is just what a boy needs.
I bet Draco and Theo are going to ask for a PC.
I was fucking my sluts while the kids were in the Computer room. Even Luna was distracted and missed the action.
Xxxxx
The Ball was fine; we were the center of attention. I danced with all my sluts, mingled with the crowd, and said hello to the right people, you know, being a complete asshole.
Suddenly Flint called out to me, "Black! I know it was you that is behind all those abductions! Where did you hide the bodies?"
I shook my head, "Really, Flint? I am the new Dark Lord? Some low lives bailed out of Britain, and it is my fault?"
I took my wand out and raised it, "I, Sirius Orion Black, swear on my Magic that I did not abduct or kill Selwyn, Gibson, or Parkinson. So Mote it be! Lumos! Now, do I have to swear that for the other ones too?"
I chuckled, "Maybe your Dark Lord returned and is punishing the cowards who claimed the Imperio scam. That is possible, too… No, the mark would be visible. Maybe a fanatic supporter of Voldy is doing this as a penalty for betraying his Master. Now that is a scary thought."
Well, I did not abduct, Dobby did, nor did I kill them. It shut them up while I started dancing again. Life is good. The night in bed was epic.
