________________________________________
Harry fell down on his bed, howling of laughter. Those faces of the girls, and Pansy was unbelievingly funny... such a pity that nobody could make photos of the girls. The laughter came and went as waves through his body, we was whacking his chest with his firsts, trying to get some air. That was something memorable; he would remember this until his last days.
Softly, the bedroom door opened and closed again. Harry looked uneasily up... ah the order woman... what was her name again? That's right, Sebena Zabini.
Sebena looked in awe around the room, while she walked toward the bed with Harry laying in it. Harry stopped laughing, rubbed his cheeks to get rid of the tears of his laughter and watched her approaching. The door opened again, and her daughter Thea entered as well. Thea quickly closed the door and looked in wonder throughout the bedroom.
"Wow, this is so cool," she said in awe.
Harry and her mother turned to the girl and laughed together. Thea obviously did not mind; she was studying the Victorian style windows and the funny flowered curtains with her large blue eyes wide open and her eyebrows up into her hairline.
"That was one hell of a fairy tale you told us, Harry," Sebena said with a soft smile on her face. "I'm sure that you will be perfect for the children who will run here around within nine months."
Harry bewildered. "Children?" he asked.
Sebena grinned. "When you are going to marry, and doing your husband duties, there will be fruit coming along. "
"Fruit?"
"Babies Harry," Thea said impatiently. "You know, those little Harry's and Harriettes who are very small, they smell, cry, eat and sleep and then all over again and again. You are going to tell those adorable little Harry's and Harriettes many stories," she laughed, looking wickedly at her mother. "And I will be a mum, too," she said.
Sebena signed. "Do you see what you have done, Harry? You made all the girls go crazy."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked confused.
"They want to play poker," laughed Thea.
"Poker?" asked Harry thoroughly confused.
Sebena smiled at the boy. "They all want to marry you, Harry. Now they are discussing ways to determine who is going first. They also decided to start marrying as fast as possible, because that bushy-haired girl predicts that you might receive more heritages, women and slaves."
Harry glared at her laughing face, and dropped backward on the bed.
"Oh Merlin, what have I done?" he whimpered.
"It's not so bad, Harry," said Thea, hopping and jumping on the bed. "Yeah, this is an amazing trampoline," she cried loudly. The door opened and several girls entered the bedroom, looking around in wonder. Hermione, Pansy and Ginny came through the door, saw Thea jumping and with shrieks of laughter they leapt on the bed as well, jumping and hopping as little girls having a lot of fun.
Harry thought that it would be a better idea to leave as fast as possible, because he could be used as trampoline as well, but before he could get away from the bed, he was grabbed from behind.
"Oh no, little boy," laughed Hermione's voice from behind. "You are ours," she smirked. She pulled harder and Harry fell back onto his bed on his back, and promptly he lay under the heap of limbs and bodies from the girls. Very soon the foyer was emptied and they all joined the company on the bed. Harry did not feel too distressed, because someone pushed her soft and shapely breasts in his face.
Gidi plopped in the foyer to announce dinner, but before she could open her mouth, she looked around her in surprise. There was nobody here!
He noticed the noise from the open bedroom door and she waggled toward the door. What she saw there shocked her beyond anything. All the girls, except the older woman with the name Sebena, were on her Master's bed, jumping, hopping and laughing. She could see hardly her Master lying at the bottom of the heap between female limbs and bodies. She could see also that he did not mind so much. Gidi smirked.
"Dinner is ready," she yelled.
All movement on the bed froze instantly. The magical word was food!
"Food?" asked Ginny interested at once, she lay on the top of Harry... wiggling her body to make a certain point.
"Informal dining hall," the little elf smirked and plopped away.
"Tonight," Ginny whispered huskily.
All the girls were jumping from bed and ran into the foyer.
"Tonight, lover boy," whispered Pansy, when she as last one jumped from the bed and walked toward the door. "Aren't you coming?"
Harry nodded, shrugged his shoulders and followed Pansy to the informal dining hall.
________________________________________
Dinner was a chaotic affair, rapacious females attacking the food on the huge table, laughing, giggling, chitchatting, nattering and chatting all together into one huge cacophony of a pleasing buzzing. Further down the table Harry could hear the uproar of laughter and sounds of approval from the Greengrass and Zabini girls.
He had no idea how the elves had organized it, but the food kept coming. What was also particular was the table setting. He sat again at the head of the table, but on his right sat Sebena, on his left sat Pansy, then the rest of the girls.
"We will see the very old white bearded coot of a wise wizard at Monday during the Wizengamot session," yelled Susan loudly, fighting mockingly with Hannah with a chicken leg.
"Yes, with his new fiancée," laughed Ginny from her place.
Theresa Crabbe was laughing deafeningly. "Yeah, that's our Millicent Bulstrode, very soon Mrs. Millicent Dumbledore." That was reason again that everyone was bursting into loud laughter.
Harry could not help to laugh because of the antics of the girls. This is the way how Harry wanted to see it. This felt like they were a family. This is something he wanted to make his; otherwise this beautiful castle would be a dreadful place.
"You like it, Harry?" Sebena asked him.
"He laid his hand on hers, and he smiled at her. "That is the way how I like it," he said happily.
"Very soon this dining hall will need to be expanded, because many children will be running around," she whispered.
Harry nodded, his eyes twinkling.
"And what do you want to do, Sebena? Do you want to stay a slave or are you going to marry me?" he asked curious.
"I'm going to marry you, like the other girls, my big handsome boy who became prince," she said.
"You can tease me and whatever you want more, but then you become the princess," he said with a warm smile. "When we are done with the dinner party here," he waved over the table," I want to sit down and listen to Hermione, and what she has doctored out," he said. He turned to Hermione and caught her staring at him with a pleased expression on her face.
"Well, Harry, she said over the general laughter of the girls. There is only one issue that needs to be discussed and that is your marriage with the elves," she said.
"My marriage with... who... what?" Harry said horrified.
"Elves," she said coolly.
Harry looked more closely at Hermione, and saw that the corners of her mouth were twitching.
"You iniquitous witch, I'll get you for that tonight, and you're going to be spanked," growled Harry with a twinkle in his eye. He saw the eyes of Hermione widened for a moment, and a blush appeared on her cheeks. Harry was flabbergasted. thought Harry. He looked more closely at her, and she was still looking at the table lightly blushing. Harry smirked and started to laugh. His laughter was lost in the noise of the girls, but laughter felt good, he decided.
Slowly the noise level went down, and more and more girls were sitting relaxed in their chairs chatting, giggling and laughing.
Harry stood up and held out his hands.
"Did you come to a conclusion," he asked loudly.
Many girls were giggling and smirking and they looked expectantly at Hermione and Pansy.
"Yes, we did," said Pansy with a smirk.
"And?" asked Harry impatiently.
Pansy smirked. "Are you so impatiently to hear who you are going to marry, Potter?" she asked.
"Yes, I am," Harry said dignified.
"Okay then, My Master of the Universe, here you are going to get it. You are going to marry in the following order," drawled Pansy.
Harry was surprised that Hermione did not want to take the word and announce the news. He looked briefly at Hermione, but she was only staring dreamily to the table.
She pulled a parchment from her robes and studied it for a moment.
"The first one to marry on the coming Tuesday is Thea Zabini and Su Li. The second one to marry is Hermione Granger and Esther Greengrass. Then you have Lavender Brown and Adore Greengrass, then Petunia Greengrass and Sebena Zabini, then Parvati Patil and Hannah Abbott, then Padma Patil and Ginny Weasley, then me and Daphne Greengrass, then Susan Bones and Cho Chang, then Luna Lovegood and Blaise Zabini, then Fleur Delacour and Theresa Crabbe, then Virgina Crabbe and Pertine Zabini. "
Pansy looked expectantly at Harry. "Aren't you going to faint?" she asked.
"Faint? Me? Why in Merlin's name must I faint?" asked Harry surprised.
Pansy looked dirty at Hermione, who snorted very unladylike.
"You have exactly eleven days for twenty two weddings, starting from Tuesday. We assume that you are able to push that new law through," Pansy said, looking seriously.
Harry nodded.
"For the arranged marriage weddings, there will be guests. We have all decided only to allow family from the brides to attend and anyone you want to invite. For the weddings of the slaves we don't want to invite anyone. We think it is our business, and nobody wants to share anything with a slave.
This would be of course different when we are free, but then the rules of the game will be much more... particular. But this is personal for you and your individual wives. I personally want to go back to my family and spit them in the eye with you on my side." She grinned evilly. "I am dreaming about that fine moment, Potter," she said satisfied.
"Many of your fiancées and slaves have some extra requests for their wedding, and they will talk with you about that.
Now some words about the contract obligations. After the wedding night, a special elf from the Ministry will arrive to determine if you did your husband duty," she smirked, looking expectantly at Harry. Yes, her reward, a blushing Harry. The girls were sniggering in the background, and Harry blushed some more.
"After that elf is gone, a healer will check on your wife," Pansy said.
"Why?" asked Harry.
"To see if we are pregnant, Harry," laughed Sebena.
Harry huffed at Sebena.
"Then we want to discuss the honeymoon with you," Pansy said.
Harry never thought about the honeymoon. "Where?" Harry asked.
"On a lone island somewhere in the middle of nowhere," Blaise said.
"Where it is warm," Daphne added.
Pansy laughed. "Do you agree?" she said.
"Who is doing the marrying?" Harry asked.
"A clerk of the Ministry," Pansy answered immediately.
"Where takes the wedding place?"
"In this castle," Ginny answered for Pansy.
"Well, of course I agree," said Harry with a wide smile.
There was an awkward silence after Harry's words.
"How do you know that the law is ready to be submitted," asked Hannah.
"I have a letter from Minister Fudge, which states that the new law is ready. It tells that a slave can marry a non-slave, when the master of the slave gives permission," answered Harry
"Why didn't you remove the entire slavery law?" asked Ginny.
"That would never be approved. Slavery is not a common thing anymore for the younger generations, but many pureblood families have still slaves! To remove the law, and give all slaves their freedom is of course preferable, but not feasible. All the Wizengamot members will vote against that removal," answered Hermione.
"How do you know that you will be able to add that law?" asked Cho Chang.
"Well... I own eleven seats in the Wizengamot, which makes twenty two percent of all available votes. With the temporary vote of the Malfoy's, I have twelve seats and twenty four percent in my hands. With the block which supports the Bones' family, we have more than half of the seats in our pocket. When we are talking about a new law, this will be very easy. When we are talking about a removal of an existing law, this is problematic; because, according the law, in case of a removal, there must be a majority of seventy-five percent to support that removal," Harry said.
"Is Draco Malfoy showing up?" asked Pansy.
"I don't know, but I suspect he does. We might see his fiancée," Harry grinned. "You know, it looks like that Love is in the Air!"
"Are you going alone, Potter?" asked Blaise.
"No, I want to take Hannah and Susan with me for the political backup and advice when I am there. I want to take Pansy with me, because of her family in the Wizengamot. I want to take Cho with me, because I want to negotiate with her father. He is earning billions of Galleons because of his economical successes. I want to take Theresa with me, because of the Crabbe family in the Wizengamot and I want to take Esther and Daphne with me because of the Greengrass family in the Wizengamot. If you want to watch, come with us and watch from the tribunes. "
"They will kick us from the tribunes," said Fleur.
"I don't think so," Harry said grimly. "I take the Goblin warriors with me, and they are going to protect you with everything they have. I don't want you risking anything, and I also don't want anyone in the world trying to hurt or ridicule you. If they do, they will receive my wrath!" The last sentence Harry said in a harsh tone of voice, and his magic flared briefly.
Fleur beamed. "Thank you Harry, I did not know you cared so much."
"What happens when we see Bill or Ron?" asked Ginny anxiously.
"We deal with them when the time comes," Harry rumbled. "Goblinettas are perfect warriors," he said and looked expectantly at the Goblinettas.
The always present and silent Goblinettas in the dining room were looking very pleased.
"I have talked with one of the Goblinettas," Hermione said. "You know that the Goblins have a King. And of course he has a wife, the Queen. The Goblin society believes in polygamy, which means many marriages. "
"I don't understand... do they marry more then one times?" interrupted Lavender.
"There are three types of polygamy. One is polygyny, which means one husband and many wives, polyandry, which means one wife and many husbands and groups marriages, which is a mix of both. The Goblins use only polygyny, and it is fairly normal to have two to three wives per husband. The number of wives is also a status symbol, because the more wives, the richer you are; it is quite expensive to maintain a wife," Hermione said with a grin at Harry.
"How many wives does the King have?" asked Harry interested.
"He has eighty three wives, and they all live in his castle," answered Hermione.
"But the soldiers in the Goblin society are different. Soldiers do not have wives; they are lone individuals, who swore an oath that they won't take wives until they are forty-five years old. That is their age of pension, and they get two wives from the Goblin State because of their services to the State.
Goblins have also slaves, but a Goblin slave has more choices than slaves in the magical world, because a slave has two basic choices. One choice is joining the Goblin army and become soldier. That means when they are forty-five years old, they will be free.
When they choose not to become a soldier, they will serve their master. If their master dies or is not available anymore, their King will reassign them a new master. In the wizarding world, a master is always a wizard, but in the Goblin society a master can also be a woman. A slave can earn their freedom by marrying a free Goblin, and when they are married, they are free. Marriage of a slave can only occur when their master and the King approve. The other way of freedom is to work hard, and when they reach the age of fifty, they might be freed.
Goblinettas are female-only slave/soldiers, which serve the Goblin army. They are the best of the best, because they are specially trained from the age of five. Their training ends when they are twenty-five years old. The Goblinettas are also the only slaves who are allowed to perform magic, because slaves are not allowed to perform magic in Goblin society.
The Goblin society has eunuchs as well. Those were criminals, who want to serve as eunuch, instead of serving their jail term. One of the most famous eunuchs in the Goblin history was a man who killed fifteen wizards in an uprising against wizards more than eight hundred years ago. He was convicted by the Goblin society to two life sentences, but served forty years later as eunuch at the harem from Goblin King Hamilton-Shah. Goblin eunuchs are not able to perform magic, because their magic is taken away from them, together with their testicles. "
"And you know all of that only by talking with the Goblinettas?" asked Lavender fascinated.
"Well... and the library," Hermione said, slightly blushing. "This castle has an enormous library, but I did not want to spend all my time there, otherwise I might miss out... on... things." She looked embarrassed at Harry.
"It is... uhm... I mean... I had never friends at home before I came to Hogwarts. And I know that people call me library freak or worse... behind my back. And with that arranged marriage... I was kind of upset... and I did not want to spend my time at the library only, because... well things happen here... and I want to be there, where things happen," Hermione stammered red faced.
"But you have now sisters, Hermione," Luna said warmly.
"And a fiancée," helped Pansy with a grin. "What shall we do with him tonight?" she asked cheekily.
"We devour him," answered Ginny.
"Stop" Su said. "The first marriage is between Harry, Thea and me, and I need time to prepare Harry for the wedding, and tonight in bed that is the best time to do that!"
Everyone looked surprised to the normal quiet Chinese girl, and Thea beamed. "Excellent idea," she said, licking her lips signifying her intentions.
________________________________________
Harry was in the bathroom having a bath in the swimming pool. The water was warm and hot, and the steam was clearly noticeable... thick clouds of greyish steam were filling the bathroom, so he could not see those damned mirrors, which were hanging all over the wall.
He thought about Hermione, who loved this bathroom, and he smirked. He was not sure why she liked this bathroom so much, was it because of the mirrors or this pool? He remembered her reaction when he mentioned spanking as her punishment. Who could think that a type like Hermione would like that?
He was visualizing her in a tight skirt, white buttoned blouse, large glasses on her nose, like those old fashioned library types wore, and a pile of books in her hands, looking dry and sullen, and her nose in the air. Then he would come into the library, grab her by her wrist, throw her over his shoulder and spank her on her tight behind... and her expression would be flustered and she would whimper softly, and... oh Merlin, those thoughts was stimulating him.
He heard the door of the bathroom open. That was strange... he locked the door! Harry looked uncomfortable, searched for his glasses, put them on and try to look who was there. Maybe it was an elf? Because of that steam everywhere, he could not see much. His glasses were misted, and he did not notice any movement... maybe he imagined it? Maybe it was Hermione in her tight skirt? He felt him self stirring again, and his erection became larger.
From the corner of his eye he saw motion! Harry looked up, regretting hat he left his wand in his bedroom. A figure was approaching him! Harry tried to look more clearly, but with all that damned mist it was impossible.
"Who is there?" asked Harry anxiously.
"It's me, Su," the figure answered with a calm voice.
Harry recognized the voice as Su's and he thought at his erection. He did not want her to see him with his erection, fiancée or not!
Su reached the edge of the pool and looked at him with an unreadable expression on her face, and Harry flustered a Weasley red.
"I see that you are built very well," Su said calmly, no emotion in her voice, neither on her face.
"Hmpf."
"Don't be shy," said Su, now with a vague smile on her face. "It is not the first time I saw a penis."
Harry was embarrassed, but he could not help to ask. "And where did you see such thing before?"
"I have many brothers, nephews and uncles, and we all take baths," she said. "Married women help their husbands always in bath, and I hear and see things," she said. She grabbed a sponge and soap, rubbed it forcefully together and then looked at him.
"Come here," she said firmly.
Harry's eyes widened, and did not react.
"I'm not going to eat you," Su said with a smile. "I'm only going to wash your back," she said. "And while washing you, I am going to tell you how I'd like to have the wedding and what you can expect from the Li family." She looked pointedly at him and Harry sighed.
He moved toward the edge of the pool within reach of Su and offered her his back. Su started to rub the soap on his back tenderly and soon Harry was relaxing under her touch.
"Is it nice?" asked Su quietly.
Harry could only moan.
"When we marry, normally you would live in my manor," Su said with a friendly voice. "But we live in England; my family understands that would be very hard to do, especially with all the other women and slaves. Our manor is big, but not as big as this castle. Also, we have the custom that you will change your surname into Li." Harry could hear the smile in her voice, and she was soaping his back for the third time in. "We will not do that, either."
"I have already made a horoscope for the both of us, and it proves that we match and are compatible. You need to send a Betrothal letter to my father mentioning the agreed Bride Price. I will include that horoscope in your letter," Su said.
"And what must I... ah... write?," said Harry confused.
"I already wrote a draft, and the only thing you need to do is copy it in your own handwriting and owl it to my father. He is a very flexible and understandable man, so don't worry. I think it is a very good idea to invite him when we are at the Ministry, when you beat those old men at the Wizengamot. My father will be very impressed when you beat Dumbledore as well. "
"Oh... thanks... I guess," stammered Harry, totally distracted by the amazingly soft hands of Su.
"On the wedding day, we will have a Wedding Procession. Normally that means that I need to go home, and from there I travel with my family sedan to Gryffindor castle. Because this castle is secluded, that is not possible, therefore we will have the Wedding Procession in the castle, starting from the entrance hall, walking to the place where we will marry, which is in the main ballroom of this castle. I inspected that room already, and it is large enough to hold everyone.
My family will take the bride's dowry with them, which will be food and jewellery. In the ballroom you must stand at the door, and you need to welcome the bride... that's me for your information," she said with a smirk.
"First you need to bow to my parents, then you need to bow to my grandparents, then you need to bow to me. You will offer me flowers of your choice, jewellery to all the girls in the company of the Procession, including my mother and grandmother.
"When we are all in the ballroom, we are going to be married. We are exchanging vows; we need to pay respect to the heaven and earth, to the parents and then paying respect to our selves.
"After this, we are actually married, but the wedding is not over. We will have the Wedding banquet.
"The banquet starts with the Chinese Tea drinking. Tea drinking means a sign of respect to the older generation by offering a cup of tea and to express thanks to your elders on our wedding day; we need to kneel in front of our parents and serve them tea and in this way we express our gratitude. When we serve our elders, we need to say 'Thanks for bringing us up. Now we are getting married. We owe it all to you.' But this is not all.
"The tea ceremony during our wedding serves as a means for you and your fiancées to meet with members of my family. This is required from you, because you as the patriarch of your family have more than one wife. As such, during the tea ceremony, we would serve tea to all family members and call them by their official title. Drinking the tea symbolizes acceptance into the family. Refusal to drink would symbolize opposition to our wedding and is quite unheard of, since it would result in a loss of 'face'.
"During the tea ceremony, family and guests will give us red envelopes with money in it. Red, because the red colour of the envelope symbolizes good luck. We need to open the envelope on the spot and count the money; the cash amount must be of an even number, when it is not, that means that they do not approve the marriage, and that would be an insult and loss of 'face'."
Harry puffed and Su laughed. "I will help you through this," she said. "It is important that you and I do not lose 'face', and that everything will go as it is supposed to go.
"Your slaves will also be included in the wedding, and we introduce them as concubines, because that is more acceptable for my family than slaves. At least your slaves can talk to my family.
Is that clear, Harry?" asked Su.
"Hmpf."
Her hand trailed now over his shoulder to his chest, and Harry felt himself stirring again. He could hear Su almost purring. "You are built wonderfully, my future husband," she purred in his ear.
Suddenly her hand released his chest and he felt... something missing? Harry looked up and searched for her, but nobody was in the bathroom anymore, she had disappeared.

Slowly the noise level went down, and more and more girls were sitting relaxed in their chairs chatting, giggling and laughing.
Harry stood up and held out his hands.
"Did you come to a conclusion," he asked loudly.
Many girls were giggling and smirking and they looked expectantly at Hermione and Pansy.
"Yes, we did," said Pansy with a smirk.
"And?" asked Harry impatiently.
Pansy smirked. "Are you so impatiently to hear who you are going to marry, Potter?" she asked.
"Yes, I am," Harry said dignified.
"Okay then, My Master of the Universe, here you are going to get it. You are going to marry in the following order," drawled Pansy.
Harry was surprised that Hermione did not want to take the word and announce the news. He looked briefly at Hermione, but she was only staring dreamily to the table.
She pulled a parchment from her robes and studied it for a moment.
"The first one to marry on the coming Tuesday is Thea Zabini and Su Li. The second one to marry is Hermione Granger and Esther Greengrass. Then you have Lavender Brown and Adore Greengrass, then Petunia Greengrass and Sebena Zabini, then Parvati Patil and Hannah Abbott, then Padma Patil and Ginny Weasley, then me and Daphne Greengrass, then Susan Bones and Cho Chang, then Luna Lovegood and Blaise Zabini, then Fleur Delacour and Theresa Crabbe, then Virgina Crabbe and Pertine Zabini. "
Pansy looked expectantly at Harry. "Aren't you going to faint?" she asked.
"Faint? Me? Why in Merlin's name must I faint?" asked Harry surprised.
Pansy looked dirty at Hermione, who snorted very unladylike.
"You have exactly eleven days for twenty two weddings, starting from Tuesday. We assume that you are able to push that new law through," Pansy said, looking seriously.
Harry nodded.
"For the arranged marriage weddings, there will be guests. We have all decided only to allow family from the brides to attend and anyone you want to invite. For the weddings of the slaves we don't want to invite anyone. We think it is our business, and nobody wants to share anything with a slave.
This would be of course different when we are free, but then the rules of the game will be much more... particular. But this is personal for you and your individual wives. I personally want to go back to my family and spit them in the eye with you on my side." She grinned evilly. "I am dreaming about that fine moment, Potter," she said satisfied.
"Many of your fiancées and slaves have some extra requests for their wedding, and they will talk with you about that.
Now some words about the contract obligations. After the wedding night, a special elf from the Ministry will arrive to determine if you did your husband duty," she smirked, looking expectantly at Harry. Yes, her reward, a blushing Harry. The girls were sniggering in the background, and Harry blushed some more.
"After that elf is gone, a healer will check on your wife," Pansy said.
"Why?" asked Harry.
"To see if we are pregnant, Harry," laughed Sebena.
Harry huffed at Sebena.
"Then we want to discuss the honeymoon with you," Pansy said.
Harry never thought about the honeymoon. "Where?" Harry asked.
"On a lone island somewhere in the middle of nowhere," Blaise said.
"Where it is warm," Daphne added.
Pansy laughed. "Do you agree?" she said.
"Who is doing the marrying?" Harry asked.
"A clerk of the Ministry," Pansy answered immediately.
"Where takes the wedding place?"
"In this castle," Ginny answered for Pansy.
"Well, of course I agree," said Harry with a wide smile.
There was an awkward silence after Harry's words.
"How do you know that the law is ready to be submitted," asked Hannah.
"I have a letter from Minister Fudge, which states that the new law is ready. It tells that a slave can marry a non-slave, when the master of the slave gives permission," answered Harry
"Why didn't you remove the entire slavery law?" asked Ginny.
"That would never be approved. Slavery is not a common thing anymore for the younger generations, but many pureblood families have still slaves! To remove the law, and give all slaves their freedom is of course preferable, but not feasible. All the Wizengamot members will vote against that removal," answered Hermione.
"How do you know that you will be able to add that law?" asked Cho Chang.
"Well... I own eleven seats in the Wizengamot, which makes twenty two percent of all available votes. With the temporary vote of the Malfoy's, I have twelve seats and twenty four percent in my hands. With the block which supports the Bones' family, we have more than half of the seats in our pocket. When we are talking about a new law, this will be very easy. When we are talking about a removal of an existing law, this is problematic; because, according the law, in case of a removal, there must be a majority of seventy-five percent to support that removal," Harry said.
"Is Draco Malfoy showing up?" asked Pansy.
"I don't know, but I suspect he does. We might see his fiancée," Harry grinned. "You know, it looks like that Love is in the Air!"
"Are you going alone, Potter?" asked Blaise.
"No, I want to take Hannah and Susan with me for the political backup and advice when I am there. I want to take Pansy with me, because of her family in the Wizengamot. I want to take Cho with me, because I want to negotiate with her father. He is earning billions of Galleons because of his economical successes. I want to take Theresa with me, because of the Crabbe family in the Wizengamot and I want to take Esther and Daphne with me because of the Greengrass family in the Wizengamot. If you want to watch, come with us and watch from the tribunes. "
"They will kick us from the tribunes," said Fleur.
"I don't think so," Harry said grimly. "I take the Goblin warriors with me, and they are going to protect you with everything they have. I don't want you risking anything, and I also don't want anyone in the world trying to hurt or ridicule you. If they do, they will receive my wrath!" The last sentence Harry said in a harsh tone of voice, and his magic flared briefly.
Fleur beamed. "Thank you Harry, I did not know you cared so much."
"What happens when we see Bill or Ron?" asked Ginny anxiously.
"We deal with them when the time comes," Harry rumbled. "Goblinettas are perfect warriors," he said and looked expectantly at the Goblinettas.
The always present and silent Goblinettas in the dining room were looking very pleased.
"I have talked with one of the Goblinettas," Hermione said. "You know that the Goblins have a King. And of course he has a wife, the Queen. The Goblin society believes in polygamy, which means many marriages. "
"I don't understand... do they marry more then one times?" interrupted Lavender.
"There are three types of polygamy. One is polygyny, which means one husband and many wives, polyandry, which means one wife and many husbands and groups marriages, which is a mix of both. The Goblins use only polygyny, and it is fairly normal to have two to three wives per husband. The number of wives is also a status symbol, because the more wives, the richer you are; it is quite expensive to maintain a wife," Hermione said with a grin at Harry.
"How many wives does the King have?" asked Harry interested.
"He has eighty three wives, and they all live in his castle," answered Hermione.
"But the soldiers in the Goblin society are different. Soldiers do not have wives; they are lone individuals, who swore an oath that they won't take wives until they are forty-five years old. That is their age of pension, and they get two wives from the Goblin State because of their services to the State.
Goblins have also slaves, but a Goblin slave has more choices than slaves in the magical world, because a slave has two basic choices. One choice is joining the Goblin army and become soldier. That means when they are forty-five years old, they will be free.
When they choose not to become a soldier, they will serve their master. If their master dies or is not available anymore, their King will reassign them a new master. In the wizarding world, a master is always a wizard, but in the Goblin society a master can also be a woman. A slave can earn their freedom by marrying a free Goblin, and when they are married, they are free. Marriage of a slave can only occur when their master and the King approve. The other way of freedom is to work hard, and when they reach the age of fifty, they might be freed.
Goblinettas are female-only slave/soldiers, which serve the Goblin army. They are the best of the best, because they are specially trained from the age of five. Their training ends when they are twenty-five years old. The Goblinettas are also the only slaves who are allowed to perform magic, because slaves are not allowed to perform magic in Goblin society.
The Goblin society has eunuchs as well. Those were criminals, who want to serve as eunuch, instead of serving their jail term. One of the most famous eunuchs in the Goblin history was a man who killed fifteen wizards in an uprising against wizards more than eight hundred years ago. He was convicted by the Goblin society to two life sentences, but served forty years later as eunuch at the harem from Goblin King Hamilton-Shah. Goblin eunuchs are not able to perform magic, because their magic is taken away from them, together with their testicles. "
"And you know all of that only by talking with the Goblinettas?" asked Lavender fascinated.
"Well... and the library," Hermione said, slightly blushing. "This castle has an enormous library, but I did not want to spend all my time there, otherwise I might miss out... on... things." She looked embarrassed at Harry.
"It is... uhm... I mean... I had never friends at home before I came to Hogwarts. And I know that people call me library freak or worse... behind my back. And with that arranged marriage... I was kind of upset... and I did not want to spend my time at the library only, because... well things happen here... and I want to be there, where things happen," Hermione stammered red faced.
"But you have now sisters, Hermione," Luna said warmly.
"And a fiancée," helped Pansy with a grin. "What shall we do with him tonight?" she asked cheekily.
"We devour him," answered Ginny.
"Stop" Su said. "The first marriage is between Harry, Thea and me, and I need time to prepare Harry for the wedding, and tonight in bed that is the best time to do that!"
Everyone looked surprised to the normal quiet Chinese girl, and Thea beamed. "Excellent idea," she said, licking her lips signifying her intentions.
________________________________________
Harry was in the bathroom having a bath in the swimming pool. The water was warm and hot, and the steam was clearly noticeable... thick clouds of greyish steam were filling the bathroom, so he could not see those damned mirrors, which were hanging all over the wall.
He thought about Hermione, who loved this bathroom, and he smirked. He was not sure why she liked this bathroom so much, was it because of the mirrors or this pool? He remembered her reaction when he mentioned spanking as her punishment. Who could think that a type like Hermione would like that?
He was visualizing her in a tight skirt, white buttoned blouse, large glasses on her nose, like those old fashioned library types wore, and a pile of books in her hands, looking dry and sullen, and her nose in the air. Then he would come into the library, grab her by her wrist, throw her over his shoulder and spank her on her tight behind... and her expression would be flustered and she would whimper softly, and... oh Merlin, those thoughts was stimulating him.
He heard the door of the bathroom open. That was strange... he locked the door! Harry looked uncomfortable, searched for his glasses, put them on and try to look who was there. Maybe it was an elf? Because of that steam everywhere, he could not see much. His glasses were misted, and he did not notice any movement... maybe he imagined it? Maybe it was Hermione in her tight skirt? He felt him self stirring again, and his erection became larger.
From the corner of his eye he saw motion! Harry looked up, regretting hat he left his wand in his bedroom. A figure was approaching him! Harry tried to look more clearly, but with all that damned mist it was impossible.
"Who is there?" asked Harry anxiously.
"It's me, Su," the figure answered with a calm voice.
Harry recognized the voice as Su's and he thought at his erection. He did not want her to see him with his erection, fiancée or not!
Su reached the edge of the pool and looked at him with an unreadable expression on her face, and Harry flustered a Weasley red.
"I see that you are built very well," Su said calmly, no emotion in her voice, neither on her face.
"Hmpf."
"Don't be shy," said Su, now with a vague smile on her face. "It is not the first time I saw a penis."
Harry was embarrassed, but he could not help to ask. "And where did you see such thing before?"
"I have many brothers, nephews and uncles, and we all take baths," she said. "Married women help their husbands always in bath, and I hear and see things," she said. She grabbed a sponge and soap, rubbed it forcefully together and then looked at him.
"Come here," she said firmly.
Harry's eyes widened, and did not react.
"I'm not going to eat you," Su said with a smile. "I'm only going to wash your back," she said. "And while washing you, I am going to tell you how I'd like to have the wedding and what you can expect from the Li family." She looked pointedly at him and Harry sighed.
He moved toward the edge of the pool within reach of Su and offered her his back. Su started to rub the soap on his back tenderly and soon Harry was relaxing under her touch.
"Is it nice?" asked Su quietly.
Harry could only moan.
"When we marry, normally you would live in my manor," Su said with a friendly voice. "But we live in England; my family understands that would be very hard to do, especially with all the other women and slaves. Our manor is big, but not as big as this castle. Also, we have the custom that you will change your surname into Li." Harry could hear the smile in her voice, and she was soaping his back for the third time in. "We will not do that, either."
"I have already made a horoscope for the both of us, and it proves that we match and are compatible. You need to send a Betrothal letter to my father mentioning the agreed Bride Price. I will include that horoscope in your letter," Su said.
"And what must I... ah... write?," said Harry confused.
"I already wrote a draft, and the only thing you need to do is copy it in your own handwriting and owl it to my father. He is a very flexible and understandable man, so don't worry. I think it is a very good idea to invite him when we are at the Ministry, when you beat those old men at the Wizengamot. My father will be very impressed when you beat Dumbledore as well. "
"Oh... thanks... I guess," stammered Harry, totally distracted by the amazingly soft hands of Su.
"On the wedding day, we will have a Wedding Procession. Normally that means that I need to go home, and from there I travel with my family sedan to Gryffindor castle. Because this castle is secluded, that is not possible, therefore we will have the Wedding Procession in the castle, starting from the entrance hall, walking to the place where we will marry, which is in the main ballroom of this castle. I inspected that room already, and it is large enough to hold everyone.
My family will take the bride's dowry with them, which will be food and jewellery. In the ballroom you must stand at the door, and you need to welcome the bride... that's me for your information," she said with a smirk.
"First you need to bow to my parents, then you need to bow to my grandparents, then you need to bow to me. You will offer me flowers of your choice, jewellery to all the girls in the company of the Procession, including my mother and grandmother.
"When we are all in the ballroom, we are going to be married. We are exchanging vows; we need to pay respect to the heaven and earth, to the parents and then paying respect to our selves.
"After this, we are actually married, but the wedding is not over. We will have the Wedding banquet.
"The banquet starts with the Chinese Tea drinking. Tea drinking means a sign of respect to the older generation by offering a cup of tea and to express thanks to your elders on our wedding day; we need to kneel in front of our parents and serve them tea and in this way we express our gratitude. When we serve our elders, we need to say 'Thanks for bringing us up. Now we are getting married. We owe it all to you.' But this is not all.
"The tea ceremony during our wedding serves as a means for you and your fiancées to meet with members of my family. This is required from you, because you as the patriarch of your family have more than one wife. As such, during the tea ceremony, we would serve tea to all family members and call them by their official title. Drinking the tea symbolizes acceptance into the family. Refusal to drink would symbolize opposition to our wedding and is quite unheard of, since it would result in a loss of 'face'.
"During the tea ceremony, family and guests will give us red envelopes with money in it. Red, because the red colour of the envelope symbolizes good luck. We need to open the envelope on the spot and count the money; the cash amount must be of an even number, when it is not, that means that they do not approve the marriage, and that would be an insult and loss of 'face'."
Harry puffed and Su laughed. "I will help you through this," she said. "It is important that you and I do not lose 'face', and that everything will go as it is supposed to go.
"Your slaves will also be included in the wedding, and we introduce them as concubines, because that is more acceptable for my family than slaves. At least your slaves can talk to my family.
Is that clear, Harry?" asked Su.
"Hmpf."
Her hand trailed now over his shoulder to his chest, and Harry felt himself stirring again. He could hear Su almost purring. "You are built wonderfully, my future husband," she purred in his ear.
Suddenly her hand released his chest and he felt... something missing? Harry looked up and searched for her, but nobody was in the bathroom anymore, she had disappeared.
