A/N: The Patil twins finally arrive. Remember, keep those ideas for different subs coming in. Part of the Patils Sub status is taken from Vanir's Midnight Sun story. Go read it; it's a thousand times better than this one.



"Welcome Lord Potter." The Indian man spoke with no hint of an accent. He was shorter and a bit wide; years of wealthy living off business deals without physical exercise having their effect.

Harry smiled and nodded respectfully back to Gaurab Patil. The man, in addition to fathering Parvati and Padma, was the largest trade connection between Britain and India. Indeed, he had much influence throughout Europe but his dark skin kept his family out of the more influential political dealings.

Harry, with Gabby's hand on his arm, sat gracefully across from Gaurab. Ginny and Tonks had stayed at home. Gabby had reasoned that there was no reason for pets to appear at a business meeting. Far from being offended, Ginny and Tonks actually agreed with the Lady sub.

Harry surveyed the living room of the Patil. It was scented heavily with Indian spices and teas, and clothed in traditional Indian decorations. Harry's attention was drawn to the figure entering the room. Tall and slim like her daughters, Pari Patil was a true beauty of the sub-continent. Her skin was a dusky brown and Harry felt himself thanking the stars that Padma and Parvati had inherited their mother's looks.

Pari met Harry's eye and he inwardly smirked as her nostrils flared. Gaurab's voice caught his attention. "Lord Potter, your family has a long history of dealing in India. I was hoping that would continue."

After exchanging a brief look with Gabby, he turned to Gaurab. "Mr. Patil, I fully intend to continue any business enterprises that benefit my family. Anything beyond that is inconsequential."

Gaurab acknowledged the intended sentiment. The Indian man cursed mentally as he realized that he wouldn't be able to intimidate the young man in front of him. He had hoped the stories of his Master Dominant status had been falsified or at worst, exaggerated. But this being in front of him was clearly the most powerful in the world. "As any good businessman should Lord Potter. Here is a full account of your past dealing with the Patil family." He slid a portfolio across the table to Harry who smoothly picked it up.

He glanced it over, ignoring the various commentaries and focusing on the profit/loss margins. He smiled as he saw the sizable fortune he had made solely through his exclusive partnership with the Patils."Mr. Patil, everything looks to be in order here. Perhaps for now, we can keep what works." Gaurab acquiesced to Harry's demand and handed the portfolio back to his waiting house elf.

"Excellent Lord Potter. Now that business is over, please sit with us. We have heard much from our daughters about you."Harry stood and followed the husband and wife in to their much more relaxed sitting room.

Harry reclined on the couch across from Gaurab with Gabby at his side. Pari sat and spoke, her voice smooth. "Lord Potter, the stories we hear from Padma and Parvati are quite interesting to say the least."

"Please call me Harry. And I hope all the stories have been good." Gaurab and Pari laughed, though as Gaurab closed his eyes for a moment, Pari locked her eyes on Harry's and licked her lips. Her pink tongue danced across her lips and Harry smiled.

"Of course they are Harry." A voice said behind Harry. Pari and Gaurab smiled over his shoulder and Harry turned.

Padma and Parvati entered the room. Padma was dressed in traditional garb, her sari a Ravenclaw blue. Parvati was in muggle clothes. Her skirt was surely too short for Hogwarts while her tank top clearly showed her black bra underneath. The girls hadn't lost any of the beauty that made the guys of Hogwarts imagining an incestuous threesome.

Both girls bowed respectfully to their parents before turning to Harry. Both girls froze, feeling their magic latch on to the Dominant in front of them. Harry smiled as both girls kneeled in front of him, heads bowed in submission.

He glanced hesitantly up at the Patils to see them smiling. Gaurab clapped his hands once and spoke. "Excellent, the girls have finally found their match." Harry's eyes roved back and forth from Gaurab and Pari who was still smiling in Harry's direction. The wife took up the explanation once they realized Harry's confused state.

"Harry, since the girls were old enough to be told, they have known that they were destined to marry and bear the children of the most powerful men in Britain." Harry opened his mouth to argue but Pari spoke more. "It is Indian custom; women are to stay in the household. We are happy that Padma and Parvati will be bonded with someone as powerful and influential as you. We only ask that you treat them well, though we cannot demand that."

Harry glanced questioningly at Gabby who smiled playfully at him. Harry however could see the signs of attraction between her and the Indian beauties in front of them. Finally Harry turned back to the waiting Patil parents. "Gaurab, Pari, you have nothing to worry about. Padma and Parvati will be treated as well as any queen." Both parents sagged in relief at the statement.

After a few more words of small talk, the trembling coming from the girls became more noticeable and Harry stood. "I am afraid I must go. This has been a wonderful talk and I am glad we will continue to work together in the future Gaurab." The portly Indian man stood, followed gracefully. Harry led the twins to the fireplace and sent them through. He turned to see Gaurab whisper something to Pari, who kissed Gabby lightly on both cheeks. Gabby smiled as she turned to Harry.

"Good day Harry, Gabrielle." Harry led Gabby thorugh the flames and emerged in the Kiln to see Ginny and Tonks watching the once again kneeling forms of Padma and Parvati.

"My Lady, what was that whispered conference?"Harry asked Gabby as he sat in front of the kneeling twins.

"Master, Pari Patil wishes to schedule a meeting of a certain nature with you." Harry arched an eyebrow at that.

"And Gaurab?"

Gabby smiled playfully. "He has no problem with the Master of Britain giving him another child. And those were his words. Being the surrogate father of Harry Potter's child greatly increases his standing here." Harry pursed his lips; a younger Harry would have freaked out about the morality.

Instead Harry nodded. "Fine. But he won't have my firstborn." The girls smiled widely at that.

He turned back to the still-kneeling Patils. Their trembling had become full shakes. Ginny handed him the Book of Natures. "Parvati, Padma what are your natures?"

As one, they looked up at him and spoke. "Master we are Twin Subs." Harry rolled his eyes at the stupid question. Harry opened the book and flipped through it until he reached the section on Twin Subs.

Twins Subs are one of the natures with direct physical implications. Simply put, Twin Subs are two bodies with a single mind. The mind is split between the two bodies and identities, and often the two personalities are very polarized due to this fact. Twin Subs are distinguished from Twin Doms in that the Subs need to have direction in their life due to the strain of one mind controlling two bodies and two identities. Once bonded and claimed by a Master, Twin Subs are known to begin to merge the two personalities and create a happy medium.

Harry closed the book and handed it to Ginny. He stood and placed a hand on each girl's head. "Servus Parvati Padma Patil Vinculo. Servus Padma Parvati Patil
Vinculo." The familiar white light erupted between the three of them before it faded slowly.

Harry nodded to Ginny and Tonks who went to prepare the bedroom excitedly. Harry led the way behind them at a more sedate pace, followed by the Patils on shaky legs and Gabby entered the bedroom last.

Harry turned and faced the Patils. After amoment, he nodded. The two girls approached him. Parvati, distinguishable only by her clothing enclosed Harry's mouth in a heated kiss, her tonguing delving in to his mouth. Padma circled him and, breaking the two apart, pulled Harry's robes off. Parvati broke off the kiss and began licking sensually down his chest as Padma captured his mouth.

Harry groaned as Parvati's hot tongue skipped his hips and she quickly untied his shoes and slid them off along with his socks. Harry now stood only in tented boxers. Parvati reached up and without breaking the kiss, began unwrapping Padma's sari until it was fully off, leaving her naked. Padma stepped back when Harry reached for her. Harry sat on the bed as Padma grasped the hem of her sister's tank top and slowly pulled it off her. The black bra held Parvati's breasts barely but didn't stop them from jiggling.

With a spare glance, Harry saw Ginny and Tonks pleasuring a watching, and moaning, Gabby. When he turned back, he whimpered in restraint, as Parvati was kissing Padma's neck as the Ravenclaw twin slipped down Parvati's skirt, revealing the matching panties.

Harry slipped his boxers off and threw them aside. Tonks continued eating out Gabby who was shuddering in pleasure while Ginny raced over and sat next to Harry. She also watched the twins as she stroked him softly, just keeping him hard without pushing him to the edge.

Soon Parvati was naked completely and both twins faced him. Ginny slipped away as they approached. "Which of the two is the more controlling?" Padma stepped forward and Harry growled.

He grabbed her and pulled her close. As he suckled greedily on her fleshy breasts, she whispered in her ear. "Master, what I feel, my sister feels." Harry moaned against her at the implications.

Harry leaned back and Padma settled above him. Parvati appeared behind her and began kissing down her sister's back before engulfing Harry's cock with her mouth. Harry moaned as he slid Padma above him. With a growl, he latched his mouth on to her shimmering pussy, wet with her juices. Padma and Parvati both shuddered as he tongue-fucked her while inserting a finger in to her ass.

The stimulation of waiting for so long had kept the twins aroused and soon Padma shrieked in orgasm. She rolled off him and Parvati slid up him. He tasted himself on her lips.

They broke apart when Padma pulled Parvati down and without preamble, dropped her on to Harry. Harry felt her hymen break and held her as she trembled. He saw a grimace flicker across Padma's face.

After a moment, he flipped them over and looked down at Parvati. She smiled at him. "Please Master...pound me." Harry didn't notice as Ginny and Tonks fairly tackled Padma, and began furiously kissing the girl. He did notice as Gabby straddled Parvati and lowered her lower lips to the Indian girl's lips. Parvati giggled and began to eat out the half-veela.

With a growl, Harry pulled fully out and pounded himself deep within her. Both Indian girls yelled. Ginny and Tonks hopped up in surprise and watched as Padma mirrored Parvati's actions while Harry pounded in to the Gryffindor twin. Gabby was now leaning over Parvati, tongue working against her clit as Harry pounded in and out of her.

Harry could barely restrain himself; the Indian girl was so tight and warm around his cock. He felt her clench around him and both girls screamed. He pulled out and Gabby buried her head fully in Parvati's crotch. He crawled up the bed to a panting Padma.

He pulled her legs up and placed them flat against her chest, just outside of her breasts. Ginny straddled Padma's face and the redhead moaned from Padma's tongue whistling along her asshole.

Harry motioned to Tonks who began to stretch out Padma's ass. Harry was plenty wet with Parvati's juices still on him and he was hard as a rock. After a few seconds, he pushed Tonks aside and spread Padma's ass. Slowly, he stuffed his meat inside her rear entrance, drawing a prolonged squeal from both girls. Soon he was fully encased inside her and he breathed deeply. She was clamped around him and he felt her heartbeat against his cock.

Soon, he began pumping in to her ass, drawing moans from both girls. Ginny collapsed off Padma but crawled over and began voraciously eating her out while holding Harry's balls as he thrust. Harry spared a glance at Parvati. Tonks was having her turn with Parvati's tongue, grinding herself down on to her face. Gabby was lying in front of Parvati, thrusting an entire fist inside her pussy. Harry shuddered at the sight and Gabby met his eyes.

The sight of her lust-filled eyes as she fist-fucked his newest slave pushed him over. He pushed all the way in to Padma and released his seed. Both Indian girls came with a scream as Padma's bowels were filled with Harry's semen. Ginny moved just in time to avoid Harry collapsing on to Padma.

His cock popped out of Padma's ass and Tonks dove down, enclosing her mouth around the Indian's girl rear entrance and sucking out the semen sliding out.

Harry pulled Padma on top of him as he rolled over. Tonks followed and continued to slurp at her asshole. Padma was barely aware of her surroundings but mumbled as Harry broke her hymen and penetrated her cunt. He felt her cervix nudge his head.

Just as he began to thrust, Parvati made her way to them and sat on Harry's hips, facing Padma. The sisters began snogging, arms wrapped around each other. Harry groaned and Gabby began to help Padma bounce on Harry. Harry's eyes were drawn to the incestuous love happening upon him.

Ginny and Tonks lay next to Harry and kissed him hard. Ginny kissed down his stomach before, seemingly reading Harry's mind, she began to stretch Parvati's ass. Tonks continued to kiss Harry and his hands gripped her ass tightly, penetrating her hole repeatedly.

At a nod from Ginny, signaling that the Gryffindor Indian was ready, Harry withdrew from Padma who moaned at the loss. Both Indians girls squealed happily as Ginny positioned Harry's cock at Parvati's back entrance. He entered somewhat easier than he had with Padma. Soon he was bottomed out and both Indian girls, feeling the penetration, bounced on him softly. Parvati fell backwards until she was lying back on Harry's chest. Padma was pulled with her and Harry slipped his hands between them and began pulling and tweaking their tits, drawing more screams from each girl.

Harry soon was tired of the slow pace and rolled the three of them over. Padma fell over but quickly got between Harry and Parvati, who was facedown in the mattress. Harry raised his upper body and began violently fucking her ass while Padma wrapped her legs around him and slid her pussy up and down his pole when it was emptied from Parvati. "Master...keep fucking our ass...god your shaft feels so good against my cunt."

Harry smiled at Parvati's words, confirming that they could feel what happens to each other. Padma was sucking greedily on his chest and her hands tangled in his hair. Harry felt the end approaching, as Parvati's hot ass held him in and throbbed against him. Padma's gushing juices kept him lubricated and with a primal grunt, he buried himself within Parvati and came.

He felt the streams of cum coat her colon. Padma looked to be in a seizure while Parvati was still, her moans the only sign of life coming from her. Harry soon pulled off and discovered he was still half-erect. He looked up the bed to see Ginny, Tonks and Gabby in a heap pleasuring each other.

He grabbed Ginny's pale hips and before she could react, he began furiously pounding in to her. The redhead had just been on the edge of orgasm and howled as she felt full of Harry.

Soon he was back at full staff and retreated from an exhausted Ginny. He turned back to the Indian girls. One was on top of the other as they kissed softly, hands buried in each other's hair.

He walked on his knees back to them and lightly smacked his cock against the cheek of the upper girl. She smiled at him and engulfed his cock. Harry held her head and forced her to deep-throat him, pulling out as she gagged. Without missing a beat, he did the same to the lower girl. He groaned as he saw the head of his cock slide down her slim throat.

He began alternating from one girl to the other every few strokes. The girls just lay there looking at him, mouths open and accepting the face-fucking they were receiving.

Harry shuddered as he felt his final orgasm of the day approaching. He started pumping faster and faster until he emptied himself within the upper girl's mouth. His cock popped out of her mouth and the lower girl hungrily met her sister's lips. Harry watched as they exchanged his cum, swallowing it bit by bit. They pulled away and just before the higher girl rolled off, he saw strands linking their dark pink lips.

Harry collapsed on the bed. Ginny and Tonks were already curled up together, watching Harry lovingly. He gave both girls ascratch behind the ear. They purred and Harry smiled. Gabby kissed him lightly but he managed to taste Ginny and Tonks on her lips. Harry lay down on the pillow. Gabby allowed one of the twins to spoon behind him and the other in front of him. Gabby dropped in front of the four person spooning session.

The girl behind her wrapped her arms around the half-veela and pulled her closer.

Gabby smiled. "Hi, I'm Gabrielle Delacour Potter and I love you. What's your name?" Harry chuckled at the meeting as he buried his face in to the hair of the twin in front.

The girl shrugged in Harry's embrace. "We aren't sure. When we go through periods of stress or arousal, we get lost. It should be sorted out by morning." Harry laughed at that and he heard Ginny, Tonks and Gabby echoing him.

He fell silent and the six lovers simply enjoyed each other. He spoke after a moment. "What should we call you? The collective you?" The girls thought for a moment before the one behind him spoke.

"Padma is definitely the more dominant so Iguess that would work. Mother told us that Padma was the name she wanted originally and she thought of Parvati once they realized it would be twins."

Harry laid thinking. "But wouldn't that offend whichever one of you is Parvati?" He felt the arms wrapped around him tighten to sooth his worries.

"No Master. There is no Padma, no Parvati. We are one being that just inhabits two separate vessels. Padma was supposed to be our name and it is." Harry sighed as the hands on his chest stroked up and down.

"I still don't like it. Perhaps for now, we can just call you Twins collectively." The girls shrugged in the group embrace. "Well I guess I should do introductions. The redhead over there you probably remember is Ginny Potter nee Weasley. Her pet name is Jewel." Only a purr answered Harry. "The currently silver-haired girl curled up with her is our resident metamorphmagus, Nymphadora Tonks Potter, also known as Treasure. They are both Complete Subs."

/Awws /accompanied that announcement from the Twins. Both girls simultaneously stretched their feet out in front of the Pets at the bottom of the bed. Tonks and Ginny each grasped a foot and lightly sucked a toe as they drifted off to sleep.

"That is Gabby, also known as Lady. She is aLady Sub." The girl holding Gabby kissed her neck and cupped her sex, drawing shivers from the veela.

Both girls spoke sleepily. "Hello Lady. We love you too." Gabby laughed and leaned further in to the embrace. Soon, all six lovers were sleep in each other's arms.

As they had gone to bed in the late afternoon, they awoke comfortably in the early morning. The girls got to know each other abit more while Harry went to workout in the basement. He had found that the Kiln had, upon Lily's insistence, been installed with a full muggle gym.

They all rejoined for breakfast and sat down to a hearty meal. Harry set down his glass of juice. "So Twins, tell me what your lives have been like since Hogwarts. In fact, how did you get through Hogwarts like this?"

Parvati continued to eat while Padma responded."Since our minds were split, that's why we were so different. I tended to handle all of the intellectual stuff while Parv was much more adept at socializing." Parvati nodded through her eggs and Harry leaned back in thought.

Parvati continued the story while Padma ate."After Hogwarts, we went back home to India. Father didn't want to get involved in the fight. He didn't like Voldemort, no question but he just didn't have the abilities to help out in the fight. After the war, we returned to Britain."

The conversation continued pleasantly until acomfortable silence was reached as they all ate. Finally Harry broke it with aquestion that has been on his mind. "What are you girls going to do now? I understand I am your Master but what are you going to do for the rest of your life?"

He turned to Ginny and Tonks first. The elder girl spoke first. "Master we are pets. We don't get jobs. We will stay home with you." Harry arched an eyebrow as he thought it was pretty boring but he turned to Gabby.

The veela daintily wiped her mouth before responding. "Master I am the Lady of the house. I will accompany you when I am needed; I do not get a job." Her nose wrinkled at the thought of it. He smiled at her reaction before turning to the twins.

The Indian girls sat in thought for a moment. Parvati spoke first. "Master...we were trained to be housewives. That is all we are supposed to be..." Harry shook his head and leaned forward.

"No. You can be whatever you wish to. What are your dreams? What did you want to be growing up?" Parvati cocked her head to the side and Padma mirrored the action. Harry stifled a grin at the action.

Padma spoke first this time. "Well...at Hogwarts Ihad some personal training under Professor Flitwick." Everyone who went to Hogwarts grimaced as they remembered his brutal murder by the Death Eaters led by Dolores Umbridge. He had managed to take out twelve of them before he went down in a storm of spell fire. "They still need a permanent charms teacher at Hogwarts. Perhaps I could do that?" She looked at Harry.

Harry raised his hands. "If that is what you want to do. My only concern is that would place you under Dumbledore's influence. He might make you do something to hurt me."

Padma placed a hand on Harry's in comfort. "Do not worry Master, I would quit before it reached that point. He cannot make me do anything I do not wish to, and I do not wish to do anything that could possibly hurt you." Harry smiled at the Indian girl before turning to her sister.

"Master...in Hogwarts Lavender and I always wanted to work at a robe shop, like Madame Malkin's." Harry smiled and nodded, which caused Parvati to smile widely. "Actually Master, would it be alright if Lavender came over? I have been keeping in touch with her since the battle."

Harry nodded. "Of course, any of you are welcome to have friends or family over. Just let me know so I can key them in to the wards."

The day began after that. Tonks and Ginny went off to Diagon Alley to do some shopping. Harry, Gabby, Parvati and Padma all got ready to go to Hogwarts.

Before they went, Harry snapped his fingers and ran to his room. He returned with the traditional emeralds emblazoned with the new Potter crest. Gabby smiled as she fondled her own, arranged around her neck on a shimmering silver chain.

"Twins, how should I arrange your mark?" The girls simultaneously sighed when they saw the jewelry. They were silent, presumably debating in their heads before Padma spoke.

"Can we have it on our belly button?" Harry licked his lips at the thought and the girls giggled.

He nodded and they hurriedly pulled off their tee-shirts borrowed from Ginny. He groaned at the matching white bras against their brown skin. Before Harry could ask them how to pierce their belly button, they each sent a quiet charm at each other's stomach. Each jumped a bit as Harry stuck the jewels on, and they resized to fit comfortably in the identical outies of the girls.

Harry was already kneeling in front of them and couldn't help himself. He started sucking on Padma's piercing before switching to Parvati. Each girl shuddered as his tongue would race over their taut stomachs. Gabby smiled and, leaning behind Harry, rubbed her dress-covered breasts on his back.

Harry moaned before standing up. "A quick one, we have to go." He unzipped his black slacks and the Indian girls dropped to the knees. Soon his erection was out and in one hot mouth then a tongue was dancing around his head.

He groaned and pulled Gabby in to a kiss, one she fully returned. Soon Harry felt the end approaching and with a moan; he came in Padma's mouth before Parvati took it. Gabby dropped to her knees, hard to do in her dress, but managed to take the last couple shots. She licked him clean before kissing the head and tucking him back inside his pants.

Three large gulps made his cum disappear from each girl. All four checked themselves over before Harry held their arms softly while Gabby wrapped her arms around his waist. With not a sound, they disappeared.

They popped back in to existence just outside the gates of Hogwarts. The summer air was soft and breezy as they walked up the path. Gabby was on Harry's arm, the twins behind them by a half step.

They approached the doors and Harry, using some magic, knocked loudly on the doors. The doors swung open and an ancient house elf welcomed them in. Filch had been killed sometime in the final battle.

Harry looked to the elf. "Please inform Headmaster Dumbledore that Harry Potter is here to inquire about a job for Padma Patil Potter." The elf popped away as Harry sputtered, still trying to untangle his lips from that tongue twister. The twins giggled as Gabby simply smiled which earned her a kiss from Harry.

Finally they approached the gargoyle which swung open and they rose silently on the stairs. Harry rolled his eyes as Dumbledore called for them to enter just as he was about to knock. A simple proximity charm on his door and people assume he's psychic.

Harry entered to see the current full staff of Hogwarts. Headmaster Dumbledore sat behind his desk, with McGonagall on one side. The Transfiguration teacher was still going strong, despite numerous injuries in the final battle. Harry and the girls received a surprisingly warm smile from the normally stern teacher.

On Dumbledore's other side were two other holdovers from before the war. Professors Sinistra and Vector nodded to Harry. The teachers had managed to escape the carnage. He noted their hands joined together and Harry restrained his smile. Apparently the two reclusive teachers were much more than friends.

Professor Sprout was still there. The Head of Hufflepuff house led the initial defense of the castle, releasing the lethal and semi-sentient plants that had held off the attackers for a full thirty minutes. She had then dropped to a hidden cellar in the greenhouse when the Death Eaters had swarmed the grounds.

Taking over the Divination spot was Firenze the centaur who nodded regally to Harry. Trelawney had been kidnapped by Voldemort in the summer after fifth year in order to rip the prophecy out of her mind. Unfortunately, her trances weren't actually left in her memory so she was never seen again. Parvati smiled at the centaur, whose eyes seemed to crease in to asmile. Once the girls had gotten over Trelawney's death, Lavender and Parvati had managed to gain Firenze's respect for their enthusiasm and dedication to Divination.

Harry sighed as he saw Roa Mufasa, an elegant African woman who was the permanent Care of Magical Creatures teacher. Hagrid had fallen heroically in the battles, destroying all of the trolls before Lucius Malfoy had gotten him with a Killing Curse. Amazing all who witnessed it, Hagrid managed to hold off death long enough to effectively wipe Malfoy off the map with a club. Hagrid's death had turned the tide. The Death Eater's froze, seeing one of the Inner Circle members killed. Additionally, the centaurs and Acromantulas, watching from the hidden darkness of the Forbidden Forest, had roared in to battle. Hagrid's loyalty and consideration for other creatures quite possibly may have won the day. Mufasa was a friend of Charlie's who had taken the position after leaving the Dragon Reserves of Romania. She also handled flying instructor duties as Hooch had retired, after saying that introducing Harry Potter to the game of Quidditch was the greatest achievement she could have.

The curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts post had disappeared. Kingsley Shacklebolt had filled the position admirably since the battle. The normally stone-faced former Auror smiled at Harry before Tonks jumped in his arms. The two had been close as Kingsley was Tonks' trainer and both were apprentices of Mad-Eye Moody. Potions had filled for one year by Slughorn, but the war had changed him. He was so jumpy, he passed away during the NEWT examinations that year when a particularly loud bubble popped and Slughorn freaked out, racing out of the Hall before leaping off the cliffs in the mountains behind Hogwarts. Now it was filled by Duex Elbani, an Italian Potions Master who had graduated from the Scuola di Italiana Magia. While not as vampire-like as Snape, she was quite intimidating and a perfect Head of House for Slytherin. She ignored Harry's respectful nod and Harry rolled his eyes. Apparently, being a jackass to Gryffindors was a prerequisite to being aPotions teacher here.

Muggle Studies was taught by Arthur Weasley. Arthur hugged Harry as well before shaking the hands of the other girls. Gabby whispered Ginny's whereabouts and he nodded in understanding.

Professor Binns floated in the back, paying no mind to Harry's entrance. Harry, just as he did during his school years, ignored the ancient ghost.

The Ancient Runes teacher smiled at Harry and Harry winked at her. Hermione laughed before whispering in the ear of a silent Pansy Parkinson, whose tenses eyes relaxed as she saw Harry. She nodded before her eyes continued to flicker fearfully between the male residents of the room.

Dumbledore had watched the various reactions of his teachers. He sighed inwardly while still smiling beatifically. Hermione, Minerva, Pomona, Kingsley, Arthur and /Firenze/ all on Harry's side. Roa, Septima and Aurora all on the fence. Only Duex doesn't like him.

Harry spied the two remaining chairs and sat in one. Gabby elegantly sat in the other while Padma and Parvati kneeled silently on the floor behind and next to Harry. The majority of the teachers frowned at this and Harry rolled his eyes, not bothering to hide his action.

Dumbledore cleared his throat. "You wished to see us about a job opportunity Mr. Potter?" Harry smirked silently at Dumbledore's formal tone. He had finally learned.

"Not for myself. Padma wishes to present herself as a candidate for the vacant Charms position." The girl in question stood with a hand up from Harry. "She apprenticed under Flitwick before the war."

Dumbledore gazed at Padma. "Perhaps ademonstration Miss Patil?" Padma, after a nod from Harry stepped forward.

"It is Potter Headmaster, Mrs. Potter." The room grew quiet at that and Harry stared around the room as only Firenze remained unaffected. Harry reasoned that, as a magical creature, he was much more accepting of something integral in one's magic.

Dumbledore listed out a long line of charms, each of which Padma performed admirably. Finally, Dumbledore announced she must perform the Fidelius on a book he placed on the desk. Parvati volunteered to be the Secret Keeper.

Harry frowned; the Fidelius was very hard. Even Flitwick often had trouble with it. He remained silent and smiled victoriously as Padma performed the charm, causing everyone to forget the location of the book until she undid it. She smiled as Harry nodded approvingly at her.

Dumbledore leaned back and steepled his fingers."Well Mr. Potter, you will be doing the negotiations?" Harry nodded as Padma remained standing behind him. "I am not quite sure that Padma is quite what we are looking for." The other teachers and Harry all gaped at Harry while Padma's shoulders sunk. Unbeknownst to the room, Parvati's sunk as well.

Harry watched Dumbledore until their eyes met and Harry realized what the old man was doing. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Fine Headmaster. Despite Padma's flawless execution of a notoriously hard charm, I will also say that due to her presence here, I will respond to any attack on the castle personally." Dumbledore smiled and nodded. Harry rolled his eyes.

"Excellent Mr. Potter. While she may be quite excellent at Charms, she may not have the teaching ability." Harry and the twins simultaneously cocked their heads to one side.

"Yet that lack of ability didn't stop you from hiring Snivellus. And looked how that turned out: a traitor to the school and the Light. The Aurors still haven't caught him Headmaster." Dumbledore sighed before responding.

"Yes, Severus was a grave mistake on my part. But let us put that behind us. Mrs. Potter, welcome to Hogwarts." Padma smiled and Harry hugged her. Parvati put an arm around her as well.

Harry turned back to Dumbledore. "I will need afully functional, unmonitored floo for her rooms." Before Dumbledore could speak, Harry continued. "Not for myself, I can enter the school whenever I wish. But so she can visit with her sister. They are quite close."

Dumbledore was about to respond, probably in the negative when Firenze stepped forward, his hooves clacking against the stone floor. "Perhaps I have a solution? Albus, I wish to return to my herd. Perhaps Parvati could take over my Divination position. I assure you, she was one of my best students and I am sure that Sybil would wish it." Harry smiled at Firenze's words; using the guilt card on Dumbledore was a perfect move on the centaur's part.

Dumbledore nodded in acquiescence. Parvati squealed and hugged her sister. Both girls gave Harry a joyous kiss before each embraced Gabby as well. Harry smiled at the twins. "An excellent idea Firenze."The centaur nodded regally.

Harry was about to continue when he got a weird feeling on the back of his neck. His hairs were standing on end. He looked around the room and saw no danger. He turned to Parvati. "Go check on Treasure and Jewel."

"Yes Master." Harry ignored the looks of shock on the teacher's faces as Parvati bowed before flooing out of the office to the Kiln.

They sat down and negotiated the living arrangements, which Dumbledore refused to budge on. Padma grew increasingly agitated as it went on, and Harry grew slowly worried. The debate was ended when Gabby suggested that the Twins would just floo home at the end of the day. Dumbledore couldn't do anything about this; teachers could live at home if they wished. Padma rejected the Head of House for Ravenclaw. The job was then offered to Septima who graciously accepted.

Just as they were rising to leave, Padma went rigid. She turned fearfully to Harry. "Master, Treasure and Jewel were attacked in Diagon Alley." Harry's eyes widened before he grabbed the Indian girl's arms.

"Are they okay?"

Padma closed her eyes. "I saw them fighting. Whoever attacked them just apparated out. Treasure is fine but Master..." A tear escaped her eye and she collapsed against Harry. "Jewel is hurt."

Harry shook with rage. He passed Padma on to Gabby. "Lady, get Padma home. Padma, tell Parvati go home and meet you there. I'm going to get them." Gabby and Padma flooed home then Harry stepped to the fireplace. With his eyes burning an intense green to match the roaring flames, he yelled out. "The Leaky Cauldron!"



A/N: Oooh dramatic cliffhanger!!
