Harry held Tonks' hand, unable to tear his eyes from the amazing view of a woman beyond beauty. Harry had a goofy expression on his face, staring at the angel next to him. Tonks did not mind; she felt the butterflies flying in her stomach because of how Harry was looking at her. She felt like a teenager again, and she did not mind that feeling at all.

She remembered her first date... so many years ago, and she could recollect fluttering feelings in her stomach as well, except this was more than that. She was one of the few most honoured girls in the magical world, who was going to be part of the harem with the Harry Potter, the social highpoint of the century.

She normally never cared what other people thought about her. Especially in shops, she did not care, and honestly, she never paid attention. This time however, all the shopping assistants were running their legs off. While Harry waited on his chair, she got the VIP treatment. Four shopping assistants, tea and coffee, and luxuries she could only imagine were offered to her.

She looked again at Harry, but he was still staring at her with the goofy expression on his face. They stood there in the shop already for at least a minute, but Harry did not seem to notice.

Tonks loved her dress; she got her feminine fix with the unique elegant twist in the stretchable satin lavender evening gown. The gown has a cowl neckline with V-shape, which was just right - not too exposing, and not hiding much. The waistband tie-up was in a sweet bow, which added some innocence to her looks. The fitting bodice cascaded into a flared, floor-length skirt, giving Tonks a tall, sleek and chic feeling. She was not morphed into somebody... she was herself.

She felt the expensive jewellery on her arms and neck.

She wore a white gold sapphire and diamond necklace, with forty-two vibrant blue sapphires, highlighted with a semi-bezel setting, and interspersed with brilliant prong-set diamonds. The white gold sapphire and diamond bracelet was eye-catching.

Tonks did not want to wear earrings, because they were always itchy and she did not have holes in her ears.

"Harry, are you still there?" Tonks asked in amusement.

"What? Sorry... I did not understand you," Harry stammered.

"Shall we go collect Ginny, Harry?"

"Ginny?" He frowned, as if trying to solve a difficult problem. "Oh... Ginny!" he exclaimed. "Of course; what shall we do with Ginny?" he said confused.

Tonks rolled with her eyes.

"Men..."

Harry remembered and huffed. "Of course I remember," he said.

He willed himself to the Burrow. The duo appeared in front of the Burrow, and approached the towering, crooked cottage, just outside Ottery St. Catchpole. Harry knocked on the door and opened it. He entered and walked over to Mrs. Weasley.

"Mum," he said, and held out a bouquet with tulips. "These are for you," he said and kissed her cheek.

Molly Weasley was almost swooning over him. She hastened to put the tulips in her best vase.

"They are so beautiful," she cried happily.

"Where is everyone?" asked Tonks, who followed Molly and Harry in the kitchen.

"Oh, I sent them all away, because I don't want anyone to spoil Ginny's date," Molly answered satisfied.

Tonks could see the fire in her eyes, and she could imagine very well what had happened with the Weasley men a short time ago.

They heard Ginny coming down the stairs and Harry looked up. His eyes almost popped right out of their sockets. Ginny wore an elegant red spaghetti-strap dress, with ravishing overlap layers in poly chiffon and a floral accent on one side of the dress. A yellow rose was attached right above her left breast, and her flaming red and orange hair was spread over her back. The dress was completed with ivory coloured light sandals with a medium heel.

Ginny wore her exclusive jewellery with pride. Her earrings were round, white cultured pearl earrings with rosy overtones. The pearls were paired with brilliant diamonds and finished with white gold posts. She wore a pearl and diamond bracelet, the pearls were interspersed with rings of diamonds set in white gold. The pendant she wore was a silvery-white South Sea cultured pearl, paired with a brilliant diamond. The pendant was suspended from a delicate white gold cable chain.

Ginny's eyes were shining and her whole being was radiating happiness, beauty and innocence. She was amazing, beautiful beyond description, impossible to describe in words.

Harry's mouth opened and closed again. He looked like a fish on dry land. Ginny floated towards him and closed his gaping mouth with her finger, and kissed him lightly on his lips.

"I missed you too," she whispered.

Molly Weasley stood in the kitchen watching the show. Ginny looked so beautiful; like a queen. Tears came to her eyes as she looked at her daughter with pride, soon to be Mrs. Potter.

Harry was dressed in Muggle tuxedo made from pure wool, with two buttons. He also wore a centre vest. His pants were black as well. His ensemble was completed with shiny black leather shoes.

Molly Weasley grinned. She could see that Harry was pulling uncomfortably on his dark green tie. It wasn't something that Harry wore every day; it may even have been his first time in a tuxedo. She approached Harry and helped him correct his tie, which was already pulled loose and aside.

Harry had eyes only for her daughter, and did not realize what exactly was happening around him. Had he realized what Molly was doing to his tie, for sure he would have protested, or he would have been highly embarrassed. Molly smiled.

Eventually, Harry got out of his stupor, and they prepared to leave to pick up Luna. Tonks and Ginny grabbed Harry by his arms, and they disappeared in front of Molly. Harry seemed to be distracted, but that was to be expected with two such beautiful young women at his side.

They appeared in front of a white, two-story house, with a beautiful garden surrounding it. The garden was full of green bushes and trees, and partly covered the house. The threesome walked towards the front door, an ornate light set above it. Harry knocked on the door and waited. Luna opened the door and threw herself into Harry's arms.

When she released him, Harry's eyes were almost popping out of his sockets again. She wore a stunning mate-red jersey gown with a deep open neckline, which swept around the back into a flowing cape. Luna wore a white gold emerald and diamond bracelet, with brilliantly cut diamonds and round emeralds set in white gold. She wore a matching pendant of white gold on a cable-linked chain, with a single round diamond, which highlighted the colour of the green emerald.

"I am ready when you are," Luna said. She smiled a bright smile, her white teeth shining. Luna did not want Harry, Ginny and Tonks to meet her father, because he was still in a daze over the money. He was already busy making plans for a major expansion of his newspaper, and a very advanced expedition to Sweden.

Her father gave her some problems right after she dressed. He thought it was too much for a girl like her, and that she showed too much skin to the public. When she pointed out that he received money for that, he toned down. Then, he looked at her with his strange shiny eyes, and told her that he felt bad about the whole thing. He had the feeling that he sold her out. Luna stared at him for a few moments, and she agreed with him. He had sold her out for money, and she would never be happier about it.

Harry shook himself out of his stupor, and tried to comprehend what was happening. Three amazingly beautiful creatures in fantastic gowns with fantastic bodies were standing around him. He swallowed, and felt the familiar warmth in his crotch again.

Harry looked briefly at Tonks, who was looking innocently to the sky. Ginny was smiling mischievously at Luna, and Luna was looking intently at Harry.

"Are you horny, Harry?" asked Luna.

Harry could feel the beginning of a blush, but decided to come out with the truth.

"Yes I am, thanks to you all," he grumbled.

The girls laughed, and grabbed his arms.

"Let's go to Hermione's place and get this evening started," Tonks smiled. Harry concentrated himself to the front of Hermione's house. This was the first time he had tried to move more than one person at the same time. He was not sure what would happen when he used only one elemental, so he concentrated himself on two air elementals. They disappeared from Luna's front yard and appeared nicely at the front of Hermione and her parents' house.

Before they went into house, Harry stopped. He took out the shrunken packages he had in his pockets, and gave the girls each a red rose and kissed each of them on the lips.

"These are for you all," he said with a smile. "I have the feeling that I am going to a wedding," he said. "I don't understand why we must be all dressed up like this."

Tonks sighed. "This is something especially for us, Harry. We like to be dressed up, and we are girls. You are a boy, and boys prefer to roll in mud and look pretty shaken up in old jeans and worn-out t-shirts, am I right?"

Harry nodded confused. "Yeah, that's right."

"You are an elemental sorcerer, the first one after so many years. That makes you potentially more powerful than Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of our time. Dumbledore has a lot of advantage in the magical world, because he is powerful, and because he holds so many official titles and jobs. You, on the other side, do not hold those titles, except as the Boy Who Lived. You are far too young to hold those titles, but I can guarantee you that before you are twenty years old, you will be carrying several of those titles. Do you understand that, Harry?" Tonks said.

Harry nodded.

"Well," Tonks continued, "That is, of course, not all. It helps that you are filthy rich, and that you carry the name of Potter; because you are the last of the Potter line, you are the head of the family. You probably also inherited the lion's share of the Black family fortune, and their titles as well. As head of one or more families, you have several seats in the Wizengamot, and you hold a great political power in the magical world. One word of you in the newspaper will bring down ancient families."

Tonks sighed again at Harry's blatant confusion.

Ginny smiled understandably. "Let me help to confuse you more, Harry," she said with an impish smile. "Above all that, you are starting a harem. Harems are extremely expensive, as you know, and a great tool to get power that is more political then a normal marriage. When you marry, you will be out of the market for all girls and all-powerful families who want to associate with you. However, with a harem, they can still hope that they can bind them selves with you through a marriage with a daughter of them. Not to mention the money they will receive when their daughter is underage."

"That is right," said Luna. "Look at my father. He is busy spending all the millions you are going to pay him, Harry. When his newspaper gets bigger because of the investments he is making, he will get many additional readers, only because his daughter is part of your harem. Look at Ginny's parents. They have a lot of money now, and the position of Ginny's father at the Ministry will no longer be the same. I think that the Minister will give Ginny's father a large promotion because of his changed and improved status in the magical world."

"That is right, Harry. You need to live according your status," Hermione's humorous voice appeared behind Harry. Harry turned around in surprise and saw a shining Hermione standing in front of the open door with her parents behind her.

Hermione was wearing a black jersey dress, highlighted by an embroidered pattern on the shoulder straps to give her a more regal look. A sensuous halter neckline with beautifully embroidered straps gave way to a very sexy back with the same strap for such shapely fit. She wore a white gold emerald and diamond bracelet, with brilliantly cut diamonds and round emeralds, which were alternately set in white gold. The perfect picture of elegance, combined with a sexy look. Hermione's hair was in an elegant tail, hanging on her back straight to her well-formed backside.

Harry closed his eyes for a moment and sighed. He opened his eyes and smiled apologetically at Hermione and her parents. Hermione's father was wearing a black tuxedo like him self, but her mother was wearing an elegant dark red, hand-beaded chiffon prom dress, with delicate spaghetti strings and an hourglass full-length skirt.

Harry swallowed.

"Hermione," he said, "you look beautiful." He turned quickly to her parents and greeted them. He shook Hermione's father's hand, and kissed the back of her mother's.

"May I introduce you to my fiancées," he said with a small bow. "This lovely girl is Luna Lovegood, this is Ginny Weasley and this is Nymphadora Tonks."

Hermione's parents smiled.

"You are doing a good job, Harry," Hermione's father said with a smile. "My name is Matt Granger, and his is my lovely wife, Ann Granger. We are pleased to make your acquaintance. Please come in," he said.

When they entered the house, Hermione hugged Harry and the girls. "It is so good to see you all again," she said. "I was so pleasantly surprised when I received the package on my bed. Who could have imagined that we had such formal dinner dates? Harry, you look smashing in that tuxedo."

Harry was already busy pulling on his tie, which was very uncomfortable for him, with a grimace on his face. Hermione and the girls were laughing. Ann Granger felt sorry for the young man, and went to him to correct the tie.

"After so many years with Hermione's father, I know how to fix a man's tie so it will sit more comfortable for you, Harry," she said, her hands busy with his tie. When she was finished, Harry looked relieved, and thanked Hermione's mother.

"Nonsense, Harry. Call me Ann." she smiled pleasantly.

The dinner was much more relaxed than Harry had anticipated. When he saw the outfits of his girls, he was afraid that it would be a formal dinner, and Harry knew he lacked knowledge in formal etiquette.

The girls were brilliant and pleasant, and Hermione was obviously very happy with how the dinner was advancing. She talked a lot with Luna, never having guessed that she would like the girl. She was normally such a strange and absentminded person, but now she was a sparkling girl with a witty mind.

"How do you feel about your new improved status in your world, Harry?" asked Matt Granger, when he was drinking his brandy.

Harry laughed. "You see, Mr. Granger. I have no idea how I'm supposed to feel," he said. "The whole story started with a light bulb, and you see what is happening now around me." He waved his hands around him, and smiled at his girls.

"Please, call me Matt," Matt Granger said. "Being addressed as 'mister' is much too formal, and it makes me much older than I already feel," he said, with a brief look to his grinning wife.

"What do you mean with the light bulb, Harry?" asked Ann.

"Well, I discovered one day that a light bulb was floating above my head," Harry said with a grin of his own. "That was the manifestation of my elemental powers. From there, things went wild and out of control for me. After I made health improvements on myself, I am what I am today," he said.

"What exactly are those health improvements you have made for your self, Harry?" asked Ann intrigued, "Are they the same improvements you have made for Hermione?"

"Yes, Mrs. Gra- uhm Ann, those are exactly the same improvements," Harry answered. "What I understand from everything is that, according our gene setup, we are supposed to look like this," he said, waving over his own body and the girls. "However, we poison ourselves with wrong food, too little, or too much movement and exercise, too much mental and physical tension, wrong life attitudes, and much more influences from the outside. All those influences will change our bodies from what we normally look like. "

"What are those elemental powers you are talking about, Harry?" asked Matt.

"The elemental powers I have are based on elemental manifestations, which are represented by what I call light bulbs. Every light bulb or manifestation is divided into four types: water, air, fire and earth. Every element represents the four elements of the nature. Earth elementals for example are specialized into growth, creation and care. I use this elemental to heal, and yes, this elemental I used on myself and the girls."

Harry smirked. "You are, of course, going to ask if you could also be made healthy," Harry said.

"As matter of fact, I don't ask you this," Matt answered. "But I want to ask you the following question," he said.

Harry could hear Hermione snorting, and he looked questionable to Hermione.

"My father has a 'life saving' thing for people who are sick," said Hermione with a smirk. "Am I right, dad?"

"Yes, my princess, you are right," said Matt with a sigh.

He turned his full attention to Harry again. "Do you think that you can cure cancer?" he asked.

Harry looked thoughtfully. "I sure hope so," he said. "I don't know anyone with cancer, though."

"I know a whole department in a hospital full of terminally ill children, who are all going to die shortly," he said. "Do you think that you can help them?"

"The only way to know for sure," said Harry looking thoughtfully at Matt," is to go there, and try to cure them."

Matt smiled happily. "Can I pick you up tomorrow morning at your relatives' house and show you the children?" he asked.

Harry nodded, and looked to Tonks.

Tonks was smiling as well. "I'll come with you, Harry. Don't worry," she said.

"Harry, may I ask you a personal question," asked Ann Granger.

"Of course, Mrs. Gr- Ann," Harry said with a smile.

"You called the girls fiancées, Harry. I can't help wondering how you plan to marry all the girls," she said, looking apologetically at Hermione.

"That is alright... Ann," said Harry.

"When I am seventeen years old on the 31st of July, I can marry the girls. Marriage in the wizarding world means the marriage is registered in the Muggle world, and then it is registered in the magical world. For the magical world, only the last part is significant. While the Muggle part is nice, it does not bring any legal significance in the picture. In our case, we build a harem. That means that we are not married in the Muggle world, but only in the wizarding world. "

"Are you all going to live at your relatives' house?" asked Ann.

"No, I own many properties, and we will choose one to live in permanently," Harry said.

"Which properties, Harry?" asked Matt interested.

"I am not sure," answered Harry with a frown. "Headmaster Dumbledore was supposed to talk to me today, and I wanted to ask him to accompany us to Gringotts and get detailed information about that and some other business."

At that moment, everyone heard ticking noise on a window in the Grangers' living room.

"That is an owl," Hermione said. She stood up and walked to the window, opened it, and the own flew directly to Harry. She landed on his shoulder and held out a note. Harry took the note, and the owl immediately flew back out of the window.

Dear Harry,

Something terrible happened to Professor Dumbledore. He is in coma, and is in Hogwarts infirmary now, under the care of Madam Pomfrey.

Come immediately when you receive this notice,

Professor McGonagall

Harry looked up from the note, horror clouding his eyes.

"Professor Dumbledore is sick," he said. "He is in coma."
