Harry's Room

6:00am
Luna sighed happily as Harry slid inside her, pumping gently as she moved against him. She wrapped her legs around him, and opened her mouth to him, responding to his kiss. It was strange to be alone in bed with Harry, but she really wasn't complaining. The others had gone back to their rooms, and Padma and Parvati had spent the night with Lavender, so she had him all to herself for the first time since the day they gave each other their virginity.
She giggled to herself, if she had known that seducing Harry would have led to so many sisters and lovers, she would have jumped him on the train to school last year! Harry opened his eyes and looked at her, his eyes so full of love and affection she couldn't help but fall even deeper in love with him, and he asked, "What's so funny, love? Because a guy could get worried if a girl giggled when they were making love."
Her giggle turned into a laugh, "Oh Harry, you should know you have nothing to worry about! I was just thinking that if I had known seducing you would have made so many of us being happy I would have jumped you on the Hogwarts Express last year!"
Harry laughed, "It would have made a big difference in my attitude, that's for sure, but, you aren't here to talk right now, wench!" And he started pumping faster, filling her, claiming her, and pushing her closer and closer to her peak, and she no longer has any need to talk as moans of pleasure fill the room.
As Harry brought her to her peak, and she felt the waves of pleasure sweep her away, she thought, just for an instant that she felt someone new in the bond, a woman she didn't recognize, but looked like she was from a tropical island, and the woman was smiling happily at her. She didn't have a chance to think about it as the pleasure just increased, and all coherent thought was lost, and when she was able to think again, it had completely slipped away, leaving behind nothing more than a feeling of love and contentment, and she fell asleep in Harry's arms.
When she awoke a little while later, Harry was slipping out of bed, and, when he felt her eyes on him, leaned down to kiss her lightly, saying, "I'm heading to Hogwarts to get Poppy to take a look at my core and then heading to Gringotts to take a look at that vault that Peter's letter told me about."
She nodded, remembering that he had mentioned it to all of them the night before, before pulling his pillow close to her, and inhaling his scent from the pillow, fell back to sleep.
Hogwarts Infirmary
8:00 am
Harry sat on the bed with his shirt off, as Poppy ran her wand across his chest and belly again, a frown of concentration on her face. He watched as the quill floating next to her wrote on a piece of parchment as she read off different numbers. Even after several years in the magical world, he still found himself surprised at the smallest things. He hoped that he wouldn't lose that sense of wonder, even though he was well aware that things were not much better than they were in the muggle world.
Harry had stopped to say hello to Professor Mcgonagall when he arrived, and was glad to find out that Dumbledore was actually at the Ministry for the day. He really wasn't sure what to think about the old man, especially after the meeting where he found out about the Dursley's. Harry didn't want to think that the man he had looked up to could be a killer, but, the thought was there, and he didn't think he could act normally around him, without his girls to keep him centered.
He kept himself busy enough, between his bonded and the other girls, and his studies that he could avoid thinking about it most of the time, but, being back in the castle brought it all back to him. He would have to talk about it with Luna and Hermione and the others when he got back to Eloise's, and figure out what they were going to do about it.
He was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice Poppy calling his name, until she waved her hand in front of his face, and the movement caught his attention. "Huh?Oh! Sorry, I was thinking and didn't hear you call me."
Poppy looked at him with an expression of amused exasperation on her face. "Obviously, I called you four times and you just completely ignored me. Thinking about your ladies, no doubt." She shook her head with a smile, "Honestly Mister Potter, you do seem to find yourself in the most unusual situations, don't you?"
He just shrugged, there wasn't any way to really answer her question, but luckily, she didn't seem to need an answer, and just continued speaking. "Anyway, you are making progress with adapting to your new magical core, and, if you continue as you are going, you should be able to resume normal spell casting by your birthday. I still want you to come in every week until then, so I can see if anything has changed."
Harry nodded, "That won't be aproblem, Madam Pomfrey, and, personally, I'm hoping that I won't have to see you other than for a cuppa now and again next year."
She laughed, "That would be a nice change. You are here almost as much as your father and his friends were, but they were usually here when one of their pranks blew up in their faces." She paused, her face growing serious, and said,"Albus mentioned to me, as the resident medical professional, that you are speaking to someone about dealing with your loss, but, Iwanted to let you know that I have some experience in helping people deal with grief, and my door is open if you ever want to talk. And don't worry, nothing we discuss will ever be reported to anyone, including Albus."
Harry looked at her in surprise at the offer, and managed to nod before getting his vest and shirt back on. "Thanks for the offer, and if I need to, I'll certainly come see you. But, between the sessions with the doctor, and Sirius coming back as a ghost, I've been able to talk about a lot of things and Ithink I'm dealing with it fairly well." He cracked a grin,"Besides, I'm a teenage guy, and what I've been doing this summer tends to make it difficult to brood!"
She snorted a laugh, "Yes, I can imagine. But, unless you need help with your contraceptive spells, Idon't need to know anything about that!"
Laughing, Harry waved as he walked out the door and was surprised to see Professor Mcgonagall walking toward him. She called out, "Mister Potter? Can I speak to you for amoment?"
When she reached Harry, she said, "I'm sorry for taking up some of your time, but it occurred to me that you might not be aware of the arrangements that have been made for you and your wives for the remainder of your time here."
Harry paused, thinking, "You're right, I remember Professor Dumbledore saying that arrangements would be made, but he didn't give any details."
Mcgonagall shook her head, "I'm not surprised. Anyway, with you and your wives, as well as Mister Longbottom and Mister Weasley also having active betrothal contracts, we have opened up the South Wing of the school, which is where married students traditionally stayed. You are still considered part of your original house for purposes of points and, for your wives, classes, but you will be living in your own private quarters."
Harry stared at her, "Wait aminute, Ron and Neville have betrothals? And I'm just now hearing about it? I know I've been out of touch, but those prats could have sent me a letter or something. I can still get mail!"
Minerva actually blushed slightly,"Actually, they haven't announced them yet, I just got letters this morning so I could make arrangements, so, please, don't say anything until they are announced. I'm certain that they will contact you shortly."
He grinned, enjoying seeing his formidable professor looking embarrassed. "Okay, I'll keep quiet about it, don't want to spoil their surprise after all. But, you were saying something about the South Wing?"
"Well, it will be easier just to show you, so, if you have a few minutes?"
He followed her down a hallway to an area of the castle he hadn't seen before, and, reaching out in the bond, he contacted all the ladies, saying 'I'm at Hogwarts now, and Professor Mcgonagall is showing me where we are going to be staying during the school year. If you can take turns, I'll show you what the rooms look like.'
Harry heard various expressions of interest and excitement in the bond, and, focusing on what the professor was saying, he looked at the large common area, that was decorated in a mix of the house colors, before she lead him to a door on the right side of the room.
Professor Mcgonagall pointed to the doors and said "Each of these doors leads to the private areas of the wing. There are a total of twenty rooms available in each section, so I truly hope you won't be needing more than that!"
Harry caught the trace of disapproval in her tone, and had to bite back a sharp response. She had no place to approve or disapprove of his personal life, and was very tempted to say something, but instead, managed to just nod and move toward the door.
After getting a good look at the different rooms, as well as seeing one that could easily be converted into a library, he managed to get away from Mcgonagall without making a comment that would have caused problems in the future. It was aclose thing, but Hermione and Parvati managed to keep him calm and he finished the conversation politely enough.
Of course, he didn't linger at the castle any longer than he had to, before heading for the gates and activating his port key to Diagon Alley.
Eloise's
Dining Area
7:30 am
Daphne looked up from her breakfast when Pansy walked in, sitting beside Lavender, who smiled at the other girl. Her eyes narrowed as she recognized the magic in Pansy's earrings. She really needed to talk to Lavender, and find out what her mission was. It wouldn't do either of them any good if they found themselves at cross purposes because of a lack of information. She knew that both Lavender and Pansy were scheduled to work that morning, so it would have to wait until later, but she could wait. Patience was something that all Unspeakables were trained in.
Sipping from her cup of tea, she watched as Pansy looked around the table, and noted the look of disappointment on her face. Knowing that it wouldn't be out of her established character, Daphne said, "Something wrong, Pansy? You seem to be looking for someone."
Pansy nodded, "Yeah, I was hoping to see Harry this morning. There's something I wanted to talk to him about, but I haven't seen him yet today."
Luna looked at the other girl sympathetically and said, "Harry had to go to Hogwarts this morning, and then he had some errands to run, he should be back this afternoon. I'll let him know you want to see him when he gets back, if that's okay?"
Pansy gave a relieved smile, "Thanks Luna, that would be great. I appreciate it."
Luna nodded, "It's no problem, and, don't worry, I'm not sure what you need to talk to Harry about, but it will all work out for you."
Pansy just looked at her for a second, before shrugging and starting to eat, chatting with Lavender quietly.
The New Watcher's Council
Director Harris's Office
9am that morning
Xander shook his head in irritation,"Of all the vampires to emulate, why in the name of Zeus would somebody chose to emulate Spike? He or she has to realize that it would get our attention!"
Giles frowned, "Agreed, and, unfortunately, too much time has passed for us to be able to determine anything from the scene of the attack. You would think that at least somebody in the Ministry or the Aurors would know how to use a telephone!"
Xander nodded, "Either a phone, or maybe one of those communications mirrors that Harry mentioned. We should be able to get something like that put together so we can be contacted right away if there is a another attack. It was almost 24 hours from the attack that you got notified, and, with Riddle removed from the board, we can keep more people in the area to get to the scene almost immediately. I want you to contact Moody and come up with a plan to improve communications between us. Hell, if it means buying a bunch of cell phones and teaching them how to use them, we've got the budget for it!"
Giles smirked at him, "I'd imagine so, especially since you didn't even quibble about the expense report that I submitted for Jenny and my night out, 'researching the situation', although Jenny was asking if you needed any more'research' done?"
Xander stared at the older man for amoment, before starting to laugh, "Jenny is asking?Right! I'm sure she is! She probably just agreed when you mentioned it would be fun to go back there. Remember, you told me stories about what Ripper used to be like when it came to the ladies, and Idon't think you've changed that much."
Giles grinned, "Of course Ihaven't, I just learned to hide it better. But, actually, it was Jenny who raised the question, and she also expressed an interest in the playrooms that a couple of the girls mentioned yesterday."
Xander shook his head, "Sorry, Giles, if you and Jenny want to go have fun, it's on your shilling this time, and, if Jenny really wants to explore a playroom, have her talk to Dawn, I'm sure that she would let you use it sometime." He paused, "and can I just say how strange it is to be having this conversation with you? It's like talking about my parents sex life!"
The older man snorted, "Quite, now you get an idea how I felt when all of the drama was going on back before graduation."
Diagon Alley
Fortescue's Ice Cream Shop
11 am
Harry was still grinning from what he had found in the vault at Gringotts as he walked down the street. Even the notice of the 1,000 galleon fine being taken from his vault for the 'incident' with Hermione didn't upset him, although Hermione was mortified when he told her about it through the link. At least he told her privately, so the other bonded didn't hear, because he was sure that at least a couple of them would have teased her about her lack of control.
He would have to warn Luna and Padma about keeping their knickers on when he brought them to the bank to pick out their rings, though. He didn't mind the fines, but he honestly preferred a bed under him when he and his ladies enjoyed each other. Those piles of coins were damned uncomfortable!
He was just passing Fortescue's when he saw a couple of familiar faces sitting at a table outside.He wasn't sure what Dean and Hannah were doing together, but Dean was a friend, and he knew how close Susan and Hannah were, so he went over to say hello.
"Morning Dean, morning Hannah, how's it going?"
The two of them looked up in surprise, and he was glad to see welcoming smiles when the recognized him. "Hey Harry! Good to see you out and about for a change." Dean said, as he gestured toward an open seat at the table.
Taking a seat, Harry noticed that Dean and Hannah were holding hands, and grinned at the two of them. "So, what brings the two of you out today? Just wanted some ice cream?"
Hannah shook her head, smiling, "Nah, we are 'escorting' our younger sisters today. The two of them made friends when we all met in the alley a couple of days ago, and now they are playing in the arcade. We're just along for the ride."
Harry thought for a minute, trying to remember the sister's name, and he said, "Patty, right? She just finished her first year as a Puff?"
Hannah blinked, "Wow! You remembered that? Even with everything that happened last year, I'm surprised you can remember your own name."
Harry shook his head, "Actually, Iremember Susan mentioning her a couple of times." Turning to Dean, he said, "And is your sister going to join us in Gryffindor this year? Or has Patty converted her to the Badger way of life?"
Dean laughed, "Probably a Badger, Andrea was never as much of a daredevil as I was growing up, and Ithink she really likes the idea of already having a friend when she gets there."
Harry nodded, "I don't blame her, it's scary going to a new school, and it's good to have a friend close to your own age to help out."
"Yeah, that's why I'm glad I got to be friends with Seamus on the Express. But, I have to wonder what next year is going to be like, with Snape gone. At least we won't have the Toad back either, since she and Fudge got killed. Any ideas about who is going to be teaching DADA?"
Harry smirked, "Oh, you could say that. Now, it's not been officially announced yet, so you can't tell anybody, either of you, but, Dumbledore got Professor Lupin back to teach the last 3 years of DADA!"
Dean smiled widely, "Excellent! He was the best teacher we've had. But, why only the last 3 years, Idon't want Andi or Patty to have another Quirrell or Lockhart."
"Actually, the Headmaster has assigned Professor Lupin a teaching assistant, who will be teaching the first four years of DADA. He decided to do it after seeing the OWLs and NEWTs scores of the members of a certain study group from last year."
Dean and Hannah's jaws dropped, "No way!" Hannah breathed, "You're going to be the teacher for the younger years?"
"Yeah, but, you can't say anything until it's officially announced, so you can't tell anybody."
Dean said, "We won't, but I have to tell you that it's a load off my mind, knowing that Andi will have a good instructor right from the start." Hearing his name called from the arcade, Dean smirked, "Guess they ran out of money already, be right back."
When Dean left the table, Hannah turned to look at him seriously. "If you have spoken to Susan this summer, can I assume that you know where she is?"
Harry nodded, "Actually, because of a situation with my magic, I'm actually staying in the same place. And Susan told me why she was there, so I ended up paying off the debt. She's actually been staying with me for the last few weeks."
Hannah sighed with relief, "Oh, I'm glad to hear that! I felt so badly that Susan had to go work there just to help me out!"
Harry smiled, "You don't need to feel bad at all, Susan said that she enjoyed herself, even before Igot involved."
Hannah smiled softly, "Yeah, she was always talking about the fun she had, so she wasn't worried about going there, but, I'm glad you helped her out."
Dean returned a few minutes later, and the three of them sat and talked about lighter subjects for a while before Harry went to finish his shopping.
Eloise's
Cho's Room
Same Time
Cho sat naked on the edge of the bathtub in her room. She had put a towel underneath her, and spread her legs as wide as she could, before using her wand to cast the shaving spell. She was nervous, but also excited, since it was at Master's direct order that she was removing all the hair between her legs. He had told her to do so while they were talking to Tara and her Mistress the day before, and Tara had stripped naked in front of both of them.
She had noticed that Master really liked the way Tara looked, and, with a look at her, said that he wanted her to start shaving as well. Cho had to suppress a moan of pleasure as he took command of her, and she quietly nodded, saying"Of course, Master."
Master and Tara's Mistress had arranged a time several days a week for them to meet and continue Master's education, and Cho was really looking forward to the sessions. Master had also told her about the 'playroom' in the basement where they were, and he had promised to take her down there so she could experience the bondage equipment and find which ones suited her the best. She was really looking forward to it.
Cho was glad that Tara's Mistress had taken the initiative, because, as much as Master tried to give her what she needed, and she certainly couldn't complain about the sex, it was obvious that he was completely inexperienced in being the dominant she needed, but she didn't know how to approach the subject with him. Fortunately, that wasn't an issue any more, and she was really looking forward to helping her Master learn.
She finished shaving, and wiped herself clean with a fresh towel before stepping into the shower. As she turned on the water, she glanced over at the sink and saw the remains of a bottle of fire whiskey. Laughing, she stepped out and poured the rest of the bottle down the sink. She didn't need to get drunk to get through the day any more, and didn't think she'd ever been happier!
Diagon Alley
Outside of Weasley Wizarding Wheezes
Around Noon
Harry was still laughing at Gred and Forge's antics when he stepped out into the mid day sun, and was heading toward Flourish and Blotts when Sirius appeared next to him. He started a bit in surprise, but Sirius had an uncommonly serious expression on his face as he said,"Don't say anything, nobody can see me but you, and I really need to talk to you in private."
Harry was confused by the way Sirius was acting, but followed his ghostly godfather down the Alley to a space between two of the buildings, and up a flight of steps. When they got to the door at the top, Sirius said, "You'll need to open the door, since Ican't cast spells like this. Tap the knob with your wand and said"Padfoot's a Stud!"
Giving him a look, Harry shook his head and did as directed, and the door opened inward. When they were inside, Harry looked around curiously, before starting to laugh. The flat looked like it came from the set of 'Boogie Nights', shag carpet and mirrored ceiling included!
One look at Sirius's expression had the laughter drying up, and Sirius said, "I don't know if it's needed or not, but, just to be safe, can you cast privacy charms on all the walls, ceiling and floor? I'll explain everything when you finish."
When Harry had the spells cast, Sirius said, "I know your suspicious about some of the things Dumbledore has told you, especially after hearing about your relatives, well, so were Moony and I, and I've been keeping an eye on him whenever I could. Ican't do much when he's at Hogwarts, because he controls the wards there, but, I was able to follow him yesterday when he went to a flat here in the alley..."
By the time Sirius got done telling Harry what he had seen, Harry had to rush to the bathroom before he was violently ill. When he finished, Harry ran some water into the sink and rinsed his mouth before casting the mouth freshening charm. "What the fuck is wrong with that old man? I wish I could say I was surprised, but, I'm really not. I just thought it was me that he wanted to mess with, but forcing Eloise to put those girls into a position where they go insane, or kill themselves? I wonder if he's the dark lord the prophecy spoke about, instead of Tom?"
"I don't know pup, but if he's the one responsible for turning Bellatrix into what she became, not to mention all the other lives he's destroyed, he certainly qualifies as a dark lord to me!"
"It's interesting though, Eloise seems to be fighting against him now, which, from what Dumbledore said, seems to be something new. She also has managed to let a couple of things slip to me, and it seems obvious that she had Pansy in mind. I'm going to have to find a way to talk to her privately and find out what is going on."
"Be careful, it seems like he's got her under a bunch of oaths, and if you tried to breach them, it could end up killing Eloise, or stripping her of her magic."
Harry nodded, "I know, and I'll be careful." He took another look in the mirror, and decided he looked presentable, before turning back to Sirius, "Any other bombshells you have for me? If so, can you hold on to them while I figure out how to deal with this one."
Sirius gave a strained smile, "No, I think that's all I've got for now, but remember, you don't have to do everything on your own, you've got a lot of smart ladies to help you now."
Harry laughed lightly, "I know, and I plan to talk to all of them in the bond before I track down Eloise and see what we can do to help Pansy. I may not like the girl that much, but I'll be damned if I'll let that crazy old bastard drive her to suicide."
Sirius nodded, "If you want a place to meet, you can use this flat. I bought it back before you were born, took out a 100 year lease, and it's paid up for the whole time."
Harry grinned, "I'll keep that in mind, but I hope it won't bother you if I change the password?"
Sirius shook his head with a chuckle and faded away. Once he was alone again, Harry sat down on the couch and concentrated, reaching out for each of his ladies. When he had their attention, and made sure that they were alone, he let them see his memory of what Sirius had told him. All of them were disgusted and it was unanimous that he had to help Pansy if at all possible. Daphne reminded them that Pansy had actually been looking for Harry that morning, and it was probably related. Hermione and Parvati were furious about what had happened to Sally-Anne, since she was a dorm mate of theirs, and to hear what had happened to her made them sick.
Daphne spoke up in the bond when the tumult had died down, and said that Harry would need to concentrate on his Occlumency shields, since he was the one who had the most contact with Dumbledore of all of them. She offered to help him build some basic shields when he got back to Eloise's and he agreed.
He sent a private message to Cho, saying that he wouldn't be able to explore the playroom with her that day, because he was far too angry, and didn't want to take a chance on actually hurting her. Cho responded that she understood, and, honestly, after hearing what the Headmaster was doing,
she wasn't in the mood for anything other than practicing the most painful spells she knew!
Harry laughed in the bond, and said that he didn't blame her, there were several spells that he'd like to try on the old man himself.
Ending the conversation, he dropped out of the bond and left the flat.
Eloise's
A few minutes later
Harry swore when he got to Pansy's door, and saw that she had a customer. "Damn it! Of all the times to be busy!" Grabbing a piece of paper, he wrote a quick note asking her to find either he or one of his ladies when she was available, it was important that he talk to her. Sliding it under Pansy's door, he headed down to the main floor toward Eloise's Office.
Knocking on the door, Eloise opened it and flinched when she saw the expression on his face. Before she could say anything, Harry put his arms on her shoulders and said,"I'm not angry at you Eloise, I know that the psychotic old bastard has you under a bunch of oaths. But I'll do what I can to help. What can you tell me?"

And he started pumping faster, filling her, claiming her, and pushing her closer and closer to her peak, and she no longer has any need to talk as moans of pleasure fill the room.
As Harry brought her to her peak, and she felt the waves of pleasure sweep her away, she thought, just for an instant that she felt someone new in the bond, a woman she didn't recognize, but looked like she was from a tropical island, and the woman was smiling happily at her.

She nodded, remembering that he had mentioned it to all of them the night before, before pulling his pillow close to her, and inhaling his scent from the pillow, fell back to sleep.
Hogwarts Infirmary
8:00 am
Harry sat on the bed with his shirt off, as Poppy ran her wand across his chest and belly again, a frown of concentration on her face. He watched as the quill floating next to her wrote on a piece of parchment as she read off different numbers. Even after several years in the magical world, he still found himself surprised at the smallest things. He hoped that he wouldn't lose that sense of wonder, even though he was well aware that things were not much better than they were in the muggle world.
Harry had stopped to say hello to Professor Mcgonagall when he arrived, and was glad to find out that Dumbledore was actually at the Ministry for the day.

He just shrugged, there wasn't any way to really answer her question, but luckily, she didn't seem to need an answer, and just continued speaking. "Anyway, you are making progress with adapting to your new magical core, and, if you continue as you are going, you should be able to resume normal spell casting by your birthday. I still want you to come in every week until then, so I can see if anything has changed."
Harry nodded, "That won't be aproblem, Madam Pomfrey, and, personally, I'm hoping that I won't have to see you other than for a cuppa now and again next year."
She laughed, "That would be a nice change. You are here almost as much as your father and his friends were, but they were usually here when one of their pranks blew up in their faces." She paused, her face growing serious, and said,"Albus mentioned to me, as the resident medical professional, that you are speaking to someone about dealing with your loss, but, Iwanted to let you know that I have some experience in helping people deal with grief, and my door is open if you ever want to talk. And don't worry, nothing we discuss will ever be reported to anyone, including Albus."
Harry looked at her in surprise at the offer, and managed to nod before getting his vest and shirt back on. "Thanks for the offer, and if I need to, I'll certainly come see you.

She snorted a laugh, "Yes, I can imagine. But, unless you need help with your contraceptive spells, Idon't need to know anything about that!"
Laughing, Harry waved as he walked out the door and was surprised to see Professor Mcgonagall walking toward him. She called out, "Mister Potter? Can I speak to you for amoment?"
When she reached Harry, she said, "I'm sorry for taking up some of your time, but it occurred to me that you might not be aware of the arrangements that have been made for you and your wives for the remainder of your time here."
Harry paused, thinking, "You're right, I remember Professor Dumbledore saying that arrangements would be made, but he didn't give any details."
Mcgonagall shook her head, "I'm not surprised. Anyway, with you and your wives, as well as Mister Longbottom and Mister Weasley also having active betrothal contracts, we have opened up the South Wing of the school, which is where married students traditionally stayed. You are still considered part of your original house for purposes of points and, for your wives, classes, but you will be living in your own private quarters."
Harry stared at her, "Wait aminute, Ron and Neville have betrothals? And I'm just now hearing about it? I know I've been out of touch, but those prats could have sent me a letter or something. I can still get mail!"
Minerva actually blushed slightly,"Actually, they haven't announced them yet, I just got letters this morning so I could make arrangements, so, please, don't say anything until they are announced. I'm certain that they will contact you shortly."
He grinned, enjoying seeing his formidable professor looking embarrassed. "Okay, I'll keep quiet about it, don't want to spoil their surprise after all. But, you were saying something about the South Wing?"
"Well, it will be easier just to show you, so, if you have a few minutes?"
He followed her down a hallway to an area of the castle he hadn't seen before, and, reaching out in the bond, he contacted all the ladies, saying 'I'm at Hogwarts now, and Professor Mcgonagall is showing me where we are going to be staying during the school year. If you can take turns, I'll show you what the rooms look like.'
Harry heard various expressions of interest and excitement in the bond, and, focusing on what the professor was saying, he looked at the large common area, that was decorated in a mix of the house colors, before she lead him to a door on the right side of the room.
Professor Mcgonagall pointed to the doors and said "Each of these doors leads to the private areas of the wing. There are a total of twenty rooms available in each section, so I truly hope you won't be needing more than that!"
Harry caught the trace of disapproval in her tone, and had to bite back a sharp response. She had no place to approve or disapprove of his personal life, and was very tempted to say something, but instead, managed to just nod and move toward the door.
After getting a good look at the different rooms, as well as seeing one that could easily be converted into a library, he managed to get away from Mcgonagall without making a comment that would have caused problems in the future. It was aclose thing, but Hermione and Parvati managed to keep him calm and he finished the conversation politely enough.
Of course, he didn't linger at the castle any longer than he had to, before heading for the gates and activating his port key to Diagon Alley.
Eloise's
Dining Area
7:30 am
Daphne looked up from her breakfast when Pansy walked in, sitting beside Lavender, who smiled at the other girl. Her eyes narrowed as she recognized the magic in Pansy's earrings. She really needed to talk to Lavender, and find out what her mission was. It wouldn't do either of them any good if they found themselves at cross purposes because of a lack of information. She knew that both Lavender and Pansy were scheduled to work that morning, so it would have to wait until later, but she could wait. Patience was something that all Unspeakables were trained in.
Sipping from her cup of tea, she watched as Pansy looked around the table, and noted the look of disappointment on her face. Knowing that it wouldn't be out of her established character, Daphne said, "Something wrong, Pansy? You seem to be looking for someone."
Pansy nodded, "Yeah, I was hoping to see Harry this morning. There's something I wanted to talk to him about, but I haven't seen him yet today."
Luna looked at the other girl sympathetically and said, "Harry had to go to Hogwarts this morning, and then he had some errands to run, he should be back this afternoon. I'll let him know you want to see him when he gets back, if that's okay?"
Pansy gave a relieved smile, "Thanks Luna, that would be great. I appreciate it."
Luna nodded, "It's no problem, and, don't worry, I'm not sure what you need to talk to Harry about, but it will all work out for you."
Pansy just looked at her for a second, before shrugging and starting to eat, chatting with Lavender quietly.
The New Watcher's Council
Director Harris's Office
9am that morning
Xander shook his head in irritation,"Of all the vampires to emulate, why in the name of Zeus would somebody chose to emulate Spike? He or she has to realize that it would get our attention!"
Giles frowned, "Agreed, and, unfortunately, too much time has passed for us to be able to determine anything from the scene of the attack. You would think that at least somebody in the Ministry or the Aurors would know how to use a telephone!"
Xander nodded, "Either a phone, or maybe one of those communications mirrors that Harry mentioned. We should be able to get something like that put together so we can be contacted right away if there is a another attack. It was almost 24 hours from the attack that you got notified, and, with Riddle removed from the board, we can keep more people in the area to get to the scene almost immediately. I want you to contact Moody and come up with a plan to improve communications between us. Hell, if it means buying a bunch of cell phones and teaching them how to use them, we've got the budget for it!"
Giles smirked at him, "I'd imagine so, especially since you didn't even quibble about the expense report that I submitted for Jenny and my night out, 'researching the situation', although Jenny was asking if you needed any more'research' done?"
Xander stared at the older man for amoment, before starting to laugh, "Jenny is asking?Right! I'm sure she is! She probably just agreed when you mentioned it would be fun to go back there. Remember, you told me stories about what Ripper used to be like when it came to the ladies, and Idon't think you've changed that much."
Giles grinned, "Of course Ihaven't, I just learned to hide it better. But, actually, it was Jenny who raised the question, and she also expressed an interest in the playrooms that a couple of the girls mentioned yesterday."
Xander shook his head, "Sorry, Giles, if you and Jenny want to go have fun, it's on your shilling this time, and, if Jenny really wants to explore a playroom, have her talk to Dawn, I'm sure that she would let you use it sometime." He paused, "and can I just say how strange it is to be having this conversation with you? It's like talking about my parents sex life!"
The older man snorted, "Quite, now you get an idea how I felt when all of the drama was going on back before graduation."
Diagon Alley
Fortescue's Ice Cream Shop
11 am
Harry was still grinning from what he had found in the vault at Gringotts as he walked down the street. Even the notice of the 1,000 galleon fine being taken from his vault for the 'incident' with Hermione didn't upset him, although Hermione was mortified when he told her about it through the link. At least he told her privately, so the other bonded didn't hear, because he was sure that at least a couple of them would have teased her about her lack of control.
He would have to warn Luna and Padma about keeping their knickers on when he brought them to the bank to pick out their rings, though. He didn't mind the fines, but he honestly preferred a bed under him when he and his ladies enjoyed each other. Those piles of coins were damned uncomfortable!
He was just passing Fortescue's when he saw a couple of familiar faces sitting at a table outside.He wasn't sure what Dean and Hannah were doing together, but Dean was a friend, and he knew how close Susan and Hannah were, so he went over to say hello.
"Morning Dean, morning Hannah, how's it going?"
The two of them looked up in surprise, and he was glad to see welcoming smiles when the recognized him. "Hey Harry! Good to see you out and about for a change." Dean said, as he gestured toward an open seat at the table.
Taking a seat, Harry noticed that Dean and Hannah were holding hands, and grinned at the two of them. "So, what brings the two of you out today? Just wanted some ice cream?"
Hannah shook her head, smiling, "Nah, we are 'escorting' our younger sisters today. The two of them made friends when we all met in the alley a couple of days ago, and now they are playing in the arcade. We're just along for the ride."
Harry thought for a minute, trying to remember the sister's name, and he said, "Patty, right? She just finished her first year as a Puff?"
Hannah blinked, "Wow! You remembered that? Even with everything that happened last year, I'm surprised you can remember your own name."
Harry shook his head, "Actually, Iremember Susan mentioning her a couple of times." Turning to Dean, he said, "And is your sister going to join us in Gryffindor this year? Or has Patty converted her to the Badger way of life?"
Dean laughed, "Probably a Badger, Andrea was never as much of a daredevil as I was growing up, and Ithink she really likes the idea of already having a friend when she gets there."
Harry nodded, "I don't blame her, it's scary going to a new school, and it's good to have a friend close to your own age to help out."
"Yeah, that's why I'm glad I got to be friends with Seamus on the Express. But, I have to wonder what next year is going to be like, with Snape gone. At least we won't have the Toad back either, since she and Fudge got killed. Any ideas about who is going to be teaching DADA?"
Harry smirked, "Oh, you could say that. Now, it's not been officially announced yet, so you can't tell anybody, either of you, but, Dumbledore got Professor Lupin back to teach the last 3 years of DADA!"
Dean smiled widely, "Excellent! He was the best teacher we've had. But, why only the last 3 years, Idon't want Andi or Patty to have another Quirrell or Lockhart."
"Actually, the Headmaster has assigned Professor Lupin a teaching assistant, who will be teaching the first four years of DADA. He decided to do it after seeing the OWLs and NEWTs scores of the members of a certain study group from last year."
Dean and Hannah's jaws dropped, "No way!" Hannah breathed, "You're going to be the teacher for the younger years?"
"Yeah, but, you can't say anything until it's officially announced, so you can't tell anybody."
Dean said, "We won't, but I have to tell you that it's a load off my mind, knowing that Andi will have a good instructor right from the start." Hearing his name called from the arcade, Dean smirked, "Guess they ran out of money already, be right back."
When Dean left the table, Hannah turned to look at him seriously. "If you have spoken to Susan this summer, can I assume that you know where she is?"
Harry nodded, "Actually, because of a situation with my magic, I'm actually staying in the same place. And Susan told me why she was there, so I ended up paying off the debt. She's actually been staying with me for the last few weeks."
Hannah sighed with relief, "Oh, I'm glad to hear that! I felt so badly that Susan had to go work there just to help me out!"
Harry smiled, "You don't need to feel bad at all, Susan said that she enjoyed herself, even before Igot involved."
Hannah smiled softly, "Yeah, she was always talking about the fun she had, so she wasn't worried about going there, but, I'm glad you helped her out."
Dean returned a few minutes later, and the three of them sat and talked about lighter subjects for a while before Harry went to finish his shopping.
Eloise's
Cho's Room
Same Time
Cho sat naked on the edge of the bathtub in her room. She had put a towel underneath her, and spread her legs as wide as she could, before using her wand to cast the shaving spell. She was nervous, but also excited, since it was at Master's direct order that she was removing all the hair between her legs. He had told her to do so while they were talking to Tara and her Mistress the day before, and Tara had stripped naked in front of both of them.
She had noticed that Master really liked the way Tara looked, and, with a look at her, said that he wanted her to start shaving as well. Cho had to suppress a moan of pleasure as he took command of her, and she quietly nodded, saying"Of course, Master."
Master and Tara's Mistress had arranged a time several days a week for them to meet and continue Master's education, and Cho was really looking forward to the sessions. Master had also told her about the 'playroom' in the basement where they were, and he had promised to take her down there so she could experience the bondage equipment and find which ones suited her the best. She was really looking forward to it.
Cho was glad that Tara's Mistress had taken the initiative, because, as much as Master tried to give her what she needed, and she certainly couldn't complain about the sex, it was obvious that he was completely inexperienced in being the dominant she needed, but she didn't know how to approach the subject with him. Fortunately, that wasn't an issue any more, and she was really looking forward to helping her Master learn.
She finished shaving, and wiped herself clean with a fresh towel before stepping into the shower. As she turned on the water, she glanced over at the sink and saw the remains of a bottle of fire whiskey. Laughing, she stepped out and poured the rest of the bottle down the sink. She didn't need to get drunk to get through the day any more, and didn't think she'd ever been happier!
Diagon Alley
Outside of Weasley Wizarding Wheezes
Around Noon
Harry was still laughing at Gred and Forge's antics when he stepped out into the mid day sun, and was heading toward Flourish and Blotts when Sirius appeared next to him. He started a bit in surprise, but Sirius had an uncommonly serious expression on his face as he said,"Don't say anything, nobody can see me but you, and I really need to talk to you in private."
Harry was confused by the way Sirius was acting, but followed his ghostly godfather down the Alley to a space between two of the buildings, and up a flight of steps. When they got to the door at the top, Sirius said, "You'll need to open the door, since Ican't cast spells like this. Tap the knob with your wand and said"Padfoot's a Stud!"
Giving him a look, Harry shook his head and did as directed, and the door opened inward. When they were inside, Harry looked around curiously, before starting to laugh. The flat looked like it came from the set of 'Boogie Nights', shag carpet and mirrored ceiling included!
One look at Sirius's expression had the laughter drying up, and Sirius said, "I don't know if it's needed or not, but, just to be safe, can you cast privacy charms on all the walls, ceiling and floor? I'll explain everything when you finish."
When Harry had the spells cast, Sirius said, "I know your suspicious about some of the things Dumbledore has told you, especially after hearing about your relatives, well, so were Moony and I, and I've been keeping an eye on him whenever I could. Ican't do much when he's at Hogwarts, because he controls the wards there, but, I was able to follow him yesterday when he went to a flat here in the alley..."
By the time Sirius got done telling Harry what he had seen, Harry had to rush to the bathroom before he was violently ill. When he finished, Harry ran some water into the sink and rinsed his mouth before casting the mouth freshening charm. "What the fuck is wrong with that old man? I wish I could say I was surprised, but, I'm really not. I just thought it was me that he wanted to mess with, but forcing Eloise to put those girls into a position where they go insane, or kill themselves? I wonder if he's the dark lord the prophecy spoke about, instead of Tom?"
"I don't know pup, but if he's the one responsible for turning Bellatrix into what she became, not to mention all the other lives he's destroyed, he certainly qualifies as a dark lord to me!"
"It's interesting though, Eloise seems to be fighting against him now, which, from what Dumbledore said, seems to be something new. She also has managed to let a couple of things slip to me, and it seems obvious that she had Pansy in mind. I'm going to have to find a way to talk to her privately and find out what is going on."
"Be careful, it seems like he's got her under a bunch of oaths, and if you tried to breach them, it could end up killing Eloise, or stripping her of her magic."
Harry nodded, "I know, and I'll be careful." He took another look in the mirror, and decided he looked presentable, before turning back to Sirius, "Any other bombshells you have for me? If so, can you hold on to them while I figure out how to deal with this one."
Sirius gave a strained smile, "No, I think that's all I've got for now, but remember, you don't have to do everything on your own, you've got a lot of smart ladies to help you now."
Harry laughed lightly, "I know, and I plan to talk to all of them in the bond before I track down Eloise and see what we can do to help Pansy. I may not like the girl that much, but I'll be damned if I'll let that crazy old bastard drive her to suicide."
Sirius nodded, "If you want a place to meet, you can use this flat. I bought it back before you were born, took out a 100 year lease, and it's paid up for the whole time."
Harry grinned, "I'll keep that in mind, but I hope it won't bother you if I change the password?"
Sirius shook his head with a chuckle and faded away. Once he was alone again, Harry sat down on the couch and concentrated, reaching out for each of his ladies. When he had their attention, and made sure that they were alone, he let them see his memory of what Sirius had told him. All of them were disgusted and it was unanimous that he had to help Pansy if at all possible. Daphne reminded them that Pansy had actually been looking for Harry that morning, and it was probably related. Hermione and Parvati were furious about what had happened to Sally-Anne, since she was a dorm mate of theirs, and to hear what had happened to her made them sick.
Daphne spoke up in the bond when the tumult had died down, and said that Harry would need to concentrate on his Occlumency shields, since he was the one who had the most contact with Dumbledore of all of them. She offered to help him build some basic shields when he got back to Eloise's and he agreed.
He sent a private message to Cho, saying that he wouldn't be able to explore the playroom with her that day, because he was far too angry, and didn't want to take a chance on actually hurting her. Cho responded that she understood, and, honestly, after hearing what the Headmaster was doing,
she wasn't in the mood for anything other than practicing the most painful spells she knew!
Harry laughed in the bond, and said that he didn't blame her, there were several spells that he'd like to try on the old man himself.
Ending the conversation, he dropped out of the bond and left the flat.
Eloise's
A few minutes later
Harry swore when he got to Pansy's door, and saw that she had a customer. "Damn it! Of all the times to be busy!" Grabbing a piece of paper, he wrote a quick note asking her to find either he or one of his ladies when she was available, it was important that he talk to her. Sliding it under Pansy's door, he headed down to the main floor toward Eloise's Office.
Knocking on the door, Eloise opened it and flinched when she saw the expression on his face. Before she could say anything, Harry put his arms on her shoulders and said,"I'm not angry at you Eloise, I know that the psychotic old bastard has you under a bunch of oaths. But I'll do what I can to help. What can you tell me?"
