79: Valentines


By midday Thursday the girls had still not come up with anything specific they wanted for the holiday and it was driving Harry round the twist. He had seen disappointed looks on other girls whose boyfriends hadn't performed correctly on holidays and anniversaries and didn't want to see it on his girls, he had also seen breakups soon after and though he wasn't worried about that, better safe than sorry right?

And so during class he was scribbling notes to himself on things that needed to be done. He had a free period before lunch during which he put his plans into action. Hedwig left before lunch started to take care of the things he couldn't get for himself in the castle.

He then stopped by the Headmaster's office where Irving simply stepped aside for him so he could ride on up to the office.

"Come in Harry."

He walked into the office to find tea set up on the desk and smiled as he sat down. "So, to what do I owe this pleasure?"

"A few things actually sir, first of all I wondered if I might convince you to hold a Hogsmeade weekend in observation of Valentines day?"

The Headmaster leaned back still holding his tea with his good hand as he considered. "I take it the DA and your Black Guard will be on hand?"

"That was their end of the deal, we've already shown that we know how to respond to protect everyone and I haven't felt a thing from my scar that might indicate an attack is being planned."

"Indeed, however if I may ask. When was the last time you did feel anything from your scar? Your last vision?"

Harry too sat back as he had to think about that, "I suppose it was after Gabrielle died but before the last visit to the village. But I don't know that his strong emotions couldn't still get through the Occlumency. In any event I think the students would very much appreciate it."

"Of that I have no doubt, however there are other concerns...I will not be in the castle on Saturday."

"Oh?"

The old man nodded, "I still hold out hope that you would join me on my excursion..."

"No! If this is about a Horcrux hunt I already told you I'm done with that plan. You don't really trust me enough to share the details and allow me to plan ahead, nor do I really trust you not to put me in danger thinking you are protecting me or something..."

The man sighed, "Has it really gotten so bad between us?"

"Look, I still respect you for everything you have done, and it isn't that I don't believe that finding these anchors is a good idea. But I do not think you would still plan on getting this thing if you couldn't do it alone, and the girls and I have other plans for how to put Voldemort out of commission for good no matter how many anchors he has in place. I don't need him completely dead, just unable to come back."

"And this plan of yours will accomplish that?" Harry nodded, "May I ask how?"

Now Harry was shaking his head, "No...in the end it is dark magic," At this point Dumbledore tried to interrupt to express his displeasure at the idea of students practicing such things but Harry held up a hand, "No, we are using this magic for a good purpose, for the Greater Good you could say. We won't be swayed, and we aren't being corrupted."

With a sigh the old man nodded in defeat, "Very well, I will be gone from the castle on Saturday but I leave it in Minerva and Fillius' capable hands, and I know you and yours will keep the students safe at all costs, therefore I will raise the issue and act as advocate for a trip this weekend. I simply hope an attack has not been planned in the event we do hold an excursion."

"So do I...speaking of Death Eaters, Draco Noname is still holed up in the Room of Requirement at every opportunity. From what we can determine he is working on a magical cabinet of some sort. Hermione has almost puzzled out what it does and how to fix it if we needed or wanted to. What do you plan to do about him?"

"Draco is still a student despite not attending classes, and he is young yet whether he is marked or not. I will not sentence him to a life in prison or worse for simply making a bad choice."

Harry sniffed in disdain, "So you still aren't doing anything about him. His father is dead and his mother is under my protection. If he were going to turn on his master he would have done so already."

"I do not believe he is so far gone as that, and that is all I will say on the matter."

Harry put the matter aside so he could get to what he considered more important things. "Fine...I have plans for Valentines day and the day before I want to run by you for approval. They could possibly be considered quite the prank which is why I am notifying you of my plans. I would like to make sure I won't get into too much trouble for imitating Lockhart."

"Continue...I must admit I am intrigued to hear of a prank thought up by the son of James Potter."

*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP**

When dinner time came he had the charms all ready to go and prayed things turned out better than they had for Lockhart. Once the student body had taken their seats he signaled to Dobby who was in the corner of the room and suddenly the walls turned bright pink and Valentines Day banners were draped in place of the house colors. The ceiling above took on the appearance of a romantic sunset also bathing the Hall in golden hued light and the clouds that drifted across it were shaped like Hearts.

The girls at the table around him were speechless as were most of the other girls in the Hall, until a snowy white, escorted by a dozen other owls flew in and dropped a single rose and a card in front of each of his girls as well as Tonks, Katie, Cho, Daphne, Astoria, Hannah and Lavender. Hedwig landed on Hermione's shoulder afterward and waited to see the girls reactions.

Down the Gryffindor table sat a blushing Katie who was reading her missive from Harry and throwing him not so subtle glances, her rose was Orange, the color of passion and romance but not necessarily love. Lavender read her note and quickly turned and snogged a surprised but happy Ron who looked confusedly down the table where Harry gave him a thumbs up sign.

Hannah and Astoria quickly did the same to Neville who turned quite red as his three-way relationship was not exactly public yet, he immediately realized from a quick conversation earlier that Harry had taken care of him so as not to be shown up, afterward he had decided Ron shouldn't be left out either though he had not had the chance to notify Ron of his gift.

Across the hall Daphne leaned in and kissed Blaise on the cheek for show even as she sent Harry a sultry look which made his shorts tight; her rose was red so it would appear to be from Blaise but her note explained it was a peace offering from Harry with a voucher for one session of love making rather than their usual frantic shagging. The girls around him each read their notes while playing with their red roses before getting up and getting in line to give him thank you kisses.

Tonks had two roses and two notes, Harry's was yellow representing friendship and admiration, and Remus who had joined her after being notified by Harry when Hedwig went out to get the flowers delivered, had given her a red rose as well, they were currently snogging at the head table and getting cat calls from those students closest.

Cho might have looked the most surprised of all the girls, she was blushing very prettily as his note offered to take their relationship to the next level if she was ready though it said Ginny had to be there. He knew about his firecracker's infatuation with the Asian girl and though a romp might be a good gift all on its own. The fact that Cho hadn't thought she had a chance with Harry any longer, and that she hadn't really ever thought about being with another girl was the true cause for her blush. Her rose was Lavender, it was traditionally a representation of Love at first sight. He had struggled with a color choice for her, but she had been his first real crush if you didn't count Hermione and he wanted her to know no matter how awkward their relationship might be in the future he would never forget her.

He was getting dirty looks from most of the other guys in the Hall who had either forgotten or been shown up. Another signal to Dobby and in front of each guy a note showed up with how to contact the elf to arrange for something similar if they wanted. Many looked thoughtful at that and the dirty looks slowed to a trickle.

Finally Hermione was able to speak again, "Harry...what?"

He smiled rakishly at her before replying, "You hadn't come up with anything and I'll be damned if I have seven of you upset with me for not even trying, my fault or not."

She leaned in close as her eyes darted to the still red Neville, the girls on either side were giving Harry interesting looks. "Seems you've been found out Mr. Potter." She whispered with a smile.

He smiled right back while eying Hannah carefully, regardless of the look in Astoria's eyes for that split second he knew exactly where they stood with each other. The other girl however had him a bit worried. "As long as Lav doesn't figure it out." He said between his smiling teeth.

Luckily Dumbledore chose that moment to stand up and call attention. "Good evening, as the wonderful ambiance has reminded me Valentines day falls tomorrow, Friday the fourteenth. I'm afraid I cannot cancel classes and declare a school holiday however,"

There were many boo's and hisses from the students at this but he held up his good hand urging patience, "As I was saying: I cannot cancel classes however I am allowing a Hogsmeade weekend to allow you to celebrate."

A great cheer went up as the Headmaster sat down and many faces turned happily toward Harry who just waved regally back. The meal was served and the talk at every table was of what they would do with their sudden freedom, though the DA and Black Guard were a bit more somber they too were in good spirits. As desert ended Harry stood and pulled Hermione up with a smile at the rest of the harem. He then kissed her deeply and with a shock to everyone disappeared without a sound taking his fiance with him.

*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP**

There was no pop or bang, no sensation of being squeezed except by Harry in a very nice way. So when Hermione opened her eyes to find she and Harry in the Masters suite at Grimmauld Place she looked understandably shocked. After a moment however she raised an eyebrow, "How many times must I tell you..."

"You can't Apparate inside Hogwarts." he finished right along with her smiling the entire time. "Yes I know, but what I've been doing isn't Apparation, its something closer to teleportation as far as I can tell. I don't have the brains to completely figure it out but I'm sure you can eventually."

She quietly stared at him for a moment before sighing as she laid her head back on his chest. "As long as you promise to be my guinea pig."

"Not before you finish your 'elektisity' charm though."

She smacked his shoulder lightly but didn't move from her spot. "Honestly, electricity isn't that hard a word..."

"So my lady, we have the whole house to ourselves. Any ideas come to mind?"

She pulled back and looked around for a moment before shaking her head. "We're actually completely and totally alone for once? No worries about the other girls walking in on us?"

He nodded but waited with a silent smile as he looked into her eyes.

"Can we go to the library?"

He chuckled, "Your command is my wish Pet."

Grabbing her quickly they disappeared silently again.

*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP**

He awoke in the Hospital wing to the sounds of spell fire and the face of a grim looking Albus Dumbledore. "Ah good my boy you're awake. I was able to convince Harry that your wand was needed in defense of Hogwarts."

He shakily sat up using muscles that hadn't moved in months and had a sudden urge to use the loo. "What's going on?"

"Tom has attacked during a village trip and I'm afraid we lost at least a third of the students in the evacuation. Mr. Potter disappeared just after the conversation that lead me to see if you would wake up. Currently the wards have fallen and the students are all shut into the Great Hall. I need you to rejoin your old master and bring him news that Harry has already fallen in battle though we do not actually know his whereabouts."

He couldn't ignore his bladder any longer and he quickly stood, regretting immediately as he fell back to the bed, nearly losing it as he did so. He stood again much more carefully as he eyed the old man, "Why should I believe this isn't just another of Potter's mind games? I've woken up in here before you know."

As he slowly walked to the room in the corner Albus placed a hand under his shoulder to steady him. "Alas I do not know how to prove it to you but I assure you the situation is more than dire and Mr. Potter recognized that in time to release you."

Snape nodded before stumbling into the restroom and closing the door behind him. He quickly took care of business, moaning in relief as pleasure washed over his nerves for a full two minutes as his bladder was emptied. He fixed himself and washed his hands before staring at his somewhat sallow face in the mirror. Drying his hands he turned and opened the door feeling much more steady on his feet.

"Why should I go back to Him? After being out of commission for so long he is likely to kill me on sight rather than listen to my excuses."

"It really is our only hope to gain time for Harry to get himself away from this battle."

"Running away like a coward? How like a Potter..."

"That may be, but it does not change the fact that I am in need of your services. I need you Severus."

Snape shuddered slightly as memories of being chased around his cell flooded him. "There may be a way...do you have my wand?"

The Headmaster produced his wand quickly with a smile, "What you do is a very brave thing Severus, Lily would be proud."

Snape winced at that before standing up straight and looking the man in the eye. "The Dark Lord will never believe I am still on his side, you are sentencing me to death. There is only one way in which he would welcome me back into his circle."

Dumbledore nodded, "And what may I ask, would that be?"

"Avada Kedavra!" Snape cried as the green light leaped from his wand to hit the surprised old man dead center in his chest. He move the man's beard aside and readied a cutting curse before he found himself immobilized.

"tsk tsk tsk Snivellus. I think maybe I geev you a chance but now I see you were never worth saving."

Before he could identify the voice a beam of light shot through the window and levitated him off the floor. He was lifted through said window and out into the open sky above Hogwarts, into what looked like a giant flying disk covered in lights.

His world went dark for a moment before the entire room lit up in brilliant white light except for the stainless steel table he was strapped to on his stomach. Around him he could barely make out beings in nurse uniforms speaking a strange hissing language, and then what looked like a ten inch long needle positioned itself in front of his face, directly in front of his eye. Meanwhile he could feel something pressing itself against his anus.

Severus Snape began screaming as the first of many abduction and experimentation scenarios began playing on loop in his mind.

*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP**

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner on Friday brought swarms of personal and school owls delivering missives, some thanks to Harry and Dobby who still had the dozen commandeered owls from yesterday.

Though the girls had been put out at Harry leaving like that without explanation, and the Headmaster was clearly upset with him. For the most part nobody cared that he and Hermione had spent a night in the library and hot tub at Grimmauld Place. The break from school seemed to have done Hermione some good though because one glance at her notes at lunchtime and she had figured out what the mystery box Draco was working on did.

Giving up completely on the Headmaster, Harry made sure to let Tonks know if she had the chance, to shrink and snag the item, the vanishing cabinet now had rubber bands wrapped around it and it was serving as a bookend in Harry's suite.

It hadn't really been hard though, apparently Draco had not returned to the Room since Thursday evening just before dinner. Which meant Harry's Valentines day plans could be fulfilled perfectly. He had sent Dobby to hold the room for him before sending a note to his girls via owl, to meet him in the Room later that night just before curfew. The elf was currently thinking up elaborate and extravagant things for the room to produce.

When that time rolled around Harry was sitting nervously on the edge of a rather enormous bed Dobby had come up with. There were candles lit all around the room along with just a touch of incense, and though there was no wireless, from somewhere just out of view came the sounds of a string quartet playing soft melodies.

When the girls came in chattering excitedly they were all stunned to silence upon entering. The door closed behind them and Harry smiled at them sheepishly. "Uh...Happy Valentines Day."

Harry immediately walked over and kissed him on the cheek before turning back to the other girls with a raised eyebrow. They quickly got in line and repeated her actions before starting to explore the room quietly.

"So what's all this then?" Pansy asked as she examined a silk drapery.

"Well...I didn't feel like a few flowers and cards was enough to show you all how much I care...so I made sure the Room was available to us and here we are..."

"And just what do you expect us to do with such a large bed Mister Potter?" Susan asked in a slightly sultry tone.

"Um," he began nervously, "Before I answer that question there is something I would like to give each of you, if you will have me..."

He waved his hand and six black velvet boxes appeared in the air in front of them floating and bouncing slightly. He got down on one knee feeling rather foolish for doing this all at once but shrugged it off as nerves.

"Each of you mean the world to me, and though some of you have expressed that you have no actual need to be wed...I want all of you to know I love you enough to marry every one of you."

Six girls opened six boxes at the same time before glancing at each other and then back to Hermione who held her hand up for them to see she was already wearing hers. They each pulled the ring from the box with tears starting to gather in their eyes and put them on.

They then proceeded to show him just how happy he had made them.

*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP**

Harry had gone through 4 straight virility and strengthening potions as well as a pepper up. The girls had helped to...take care...of each other but he still ended up with the Lion's share of the work. And so it was that many hours later he could be found in a tangle of bodies in the middle of the enormous bed, covered, as were all the girls, in mixed juices and reeking of sex.

He had thought to himself more than once that his grand plan for Valentines day might just have killed him, but he was happy to go if this was how he met his end. There was a stirring at the edge of the bed as Hermione stumbled to her feet and made her apologies as a bathroom appeared for her in the corner. She disappeared inside and closed the door.

He closed his eyes and reached to the closest two bodies and began stroking them idly. Enjoying the moans of pleasure as he found certain points that stimulated them. He got them to move enough so that he could sit up against the headboard and get to cool fresh air rather than the shared warm air closer to the mattress. The other bodies did not like being disturbed and quickly were all awake and rearranging themselves more comfortably, all groaning at the glorious pain and yawning after their exertions.

The bathroom door opened and the light turned off leaving him temporarily blinded for looking at it. "Appy Valentines Day Master!"

Quite suddenly he jumped out of bed and was standing against the far wall. "What!?"

"You do not look happy to see me." She pouted.

"Am I dreaming?"

"Not unless I'm dreaming too Harry." Susan said as she got up and stood quietly beside him.

"I can never quite tell, but I don't believe we are asleep. Hello Gabrielle."

The blond on the other side of the bed smiled rather sexily and licked her lips. "Ello Loony, it is good to see you in ze flesh non?"

"How?" Was all he could get out even as he felt himself drawn away from the wall toward the now vacant bed where the Veela had crawled to the middle and was idly running her hands over her body.

"mmmm," She moaned, "Zis is definitely something I missed...ze physical is simply soo much better than your mind Master...no offense."

"How?" he asked again feeling aroused, overjoyed, and angry at the same time.

She caught his mood and frowned a bit, "Mine takes a hair from my brush, and a potion she asks the room for. And then she gives herself to me to play with. Are you not happy Master?"

He couldn't help himself as he dove onto the bed and rolled her into a passionate kiss. She quickly rolled him over and got him inside her using some of that Veela magic and began rocking on him. It took all his willpower not to cum right away even after all the playing earlier with the rest of the harem.

"Why?" he choked out as he held off for a little longer.

"She wants to give you ze present, for me it eez just ze bonus..." the girl moaned out between breaths picking up the pace. "I only have ze hour so please shut up and Fuck me husband!"

Harry quickly rolled her over and obliged, driving her into the mattress. The other girls had finally overcome their shock and joined them on the bed, arranging themselves as best they could to just touch the girl and their fiance who was rapidly approaching his orgasm. Finally he gave a strangled cry and went over the edge taking her with him before collapsing to the bed breathing hard.

The other girls all snuggled in close to him with Gin being the closest cradling Gabrielle/Hermione from the other side. "What about Hermione?"

Her face changed just a bit and in what was clearly Hermione's tone, if not her voice said, "I'm here Harry, the hair, the Polyjuice and the connection you gave me to her made this possible." Another change and Gabby was back, "I very much like zis idea, don't you?" She said with a saucy smile.

He nodded dumbly and the girls that could see him giggled. "It doesn't make a bit of since," "But as long as you three are happy," "Then we are happy for you." The twins said with smiles.

Ginny nodded as she pulled the Veela close and kissed her on the mouth. "My Mione wrapped up in a Veela body, whats not to love? Not that I don't love Mione in her body of course."

"I know what you meant." Hermione said with a smile.

They chatted together, the girls getting to know Gabby better for the remainder of the hour as Harry held her close and refused to let her go. Harry simply let the love wash over him, it was almost palpable as thick as it was in this room, and with Gabby firmly in his arms he chuckled slightly that he was holding both of his Pets at once. This simply had to be, the single happiest moment of his entire life to date.

*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP*SFTP**

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is that brat doing to me!?!?"

The screaming had been going on for hours and nobody was foolish enough to enter the Dark Lords personal chambers without an invite. Nobody except Pettigrew who was quickly shoved toward the door.

He entered the room nervously, his nose twitching out of habit and his arms curled to his chest very much like the rodent he had spent years hiding as.

"Master?"

Voldemort stood before him looking paler than usual and his eyes were wide with pain. "WHAT IS HE DOING TO ME? Wormtail! You must kill Potter and stop this!" Suddenly he fell back on the bed and screamed again in agony clutching his head.

"I'm sorry Master, I don't understand!"

"CRUCIO!!"

The rat faced man fell to the floor writhing under the spell when it suddenly cut off, he got back to his feet wondering what could have stopped his masters anger and looked to the bed.

Voldemort was breathing shallowly and had tears of blood running down the sides of his face as Peter approached, suddenly a hand shot out and grabbed him by the lapel, dragging him close. "The attack on...Hogwarts...."

"Yes Master?"

"To...morrow."

"But Master we aren't fully..."

"CRUCIO!!"

It was again very short and seemed to drain the snake faced man to cast. Pettigrew stood as quickly as he could fearing for his life. "It shall be as you command master. Tomorrow we attack Hogwarts."



Authors Note:

I am really not especially happy with this chapter, but after going over it a few times I really can't think of how else to do it. Some of you would probably love to see an orgy lemon and I admit, I was definitely tempted, but it just slowed the story down too much. At this point the lemons feel almost worthless unless they actually move the story forward in some way.

They found a way to bring Gabby back for a little while! And if any of you are worried about Hermione, just think about it. She wants to be used for Harry's pleasure, now she has a backseat to watch and feel Harry make love to his other play thing while she totally gives up control. Mine is happy :)

So...tell me how much you hate the direction its going, or how much you appreciate the fact that it is at least going in a direction again, or both.

I welcome your reviews and flames!
