Harry Potter and the Delightful Dilemma

By: Sheltie

I don't own Harry Potter

A/N: I took this down after hearing about the purge, but after reading what I've written I've decided to repost this since there was no sexual scenes in it. Takes place after fourth year though I've changed a few things that has happened in the fourth year. This is my first shot at a Harry/Harem story.

Chapter 1

Hermione Granger stood up at a podium and looked out at the small group that was waiting for her to speak.

"Greetings everyone, I'm glad that you're all here. Now, what I am about to present to you all is a rare opportunity that is a one time offer. If you don't accept this here right now before you leave this room you won't get a second chance," Hermione said, she looked out at the attendees present and none of them moved this pleased Hermione greatly. "Good, now I have to warn you that being associated with Harry Potter will put you into the spotlight so be prepared to have people stare at you a lot."

Still no one moved.

Sitting around the table were all witches. Most were Hogwarts students like Hermione, but a few were not.

"This is great and all, but your note didn't exactly tell us why you wanted to meet with all of us?" Daphne Greengrass asked with folded arms and a look of annoyance with a hint of curiosity on her face.

"I was about get to that Greengrass," Hermione said firmly, "now we're all here because we have one thing in common. We all are in love with Harry Potter. And when I mean in love, I mean in love with Harry Potter the person and not the Boy-Who-Lived crap that has been around."

There were murmurs of agreement on this.

"Good, now I have read many texts and have done quite a bit of research. That, and I have heard from Harry himself about some certain things and have come up with a plan to help fight Voldemort," Hermione said.

Several people flinched when Hermione said his name.

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Oh, come on, it's a made up name for Merlin's sake," she said exasperatedly.

"What do you mean Hermione?" Padma Patil asked curiously.

"This is his real name," Hermione said.

Hermione took out her wand and used the same spell that she learned from Harry that Harry had learned from Voldemort himself. She wrote in fire letters 'I am Lord Voldemort'. Then she flicked her wand so the fire letters rearranged themselves to say 'Tom Marvolo Riddle'.

"This is Voldemort's real name. He was Head Boy at Hogwarts over fifty years ago and got an award that is on display in the trophy room at Hogwarts," Hermione said.

Several of the witches in the room were shocked at this.

"Right, now back to what I was trying to explain" Hermione said, "there's a prophecy out there that states only Harry can defeat Voldemort with a power Voldemort doesn't know and according to Dumbledore the power Harry has is love."

The girls in the room murmured with interesting at hearing of a prophecy and that love is Harry's weapon.

"So what does this mean, does Harry have to love Voldemort?" Parvati Patil asked with a scrunched up face.

Many of the girls cringed and turned a bit green at the mental image that was now passing through their minds.

"No, that's not what it means" Hermione said with a green face.

Sighs of relief were heard as well as green faces turning back to normal.

"What it means, is that Harry's love for the people he cares about his is weapon. Now, I have a theory that the more people Harry has to love the stronger Harry will be" Hermione said.

The others had to agree with this theory.

"'Ow do we test zis zeory?" Fleur Delacour asked.

"Simple, we have to get Harry to love all of us" Hermione said.

"Easy for you maybe, but he doesn't know some of us" Penelope Clearwater said.

"I agree with you on that, but what are you doing here? I thought you were dating Percy Weasley?" Susan Bones asked turning to Penelope.

"I was, then I realized that Percy loves his job more than me. I swear, Percy is in love with Fudge the way he talks about him" Penelope said shaking her head.

There were many green faces as this new image of Percy Weasley and Minister Fudge snogging appeared in their heads.

"Okay, lets not have anymore of those, alright" Daphne said trying to shake the horrible image from her mind.

The other girls all agreed emphatically.

"Moving on, I know some of you will have some trouble with getting Harry to open up to you, but that is where I come in. Harry trusts me and knows that I will always lead him the right way" Hermione said with a bit of a superior air.

The other girls couldn't disagree with that since it was a known fact that Harry Potter pretty much always went along with Hermione whenever she suggested something.

"Good, now here's the plan" Hermione said getting down to business.

/Scene Break/

Harry Potter sighed, he was stuck in Privet Drive after a horrible fourth year at Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was entered into a competition meant for older students and was forced to compete. While one of his best friends accused of being a cheater and a glory hound his other best friend stuck by him and helped him prepare.

He somehow survived the first task of the competition because luck and help from this best friend. Afterwards his best friend that accused him of cheating came crawling back asking for forgiveness. Harry accepted the apology reluctantly. During the Yule Ball he went with Parvati though that ended being a disaster. The second task was even more challenging and made him rethink many things, like who he really thought of as his best friend. The final task of the competition was the worse of them all as it was a trap and he was used to bring back the one that killed his parents, Voldemort. After that when he finally returned he forced the man he thought of a mentor and one who would never lie to him and was told why Voldemort is after him. A prophecy, it was because of a stupid prophecy.

Harry hated his luck and cursed the old man for keeping this from him, he even trashed the old man's office before leaving.

The fact also that the Minister was in denial also made Harry very angry too. He accused Harry of being a lair and that the whole plot was the work of Sirius Black, Harry's innocent godfather.

Before the year ended and they had to go home on the train he told his best friend, Hermione Granger about the prophecy and what the old man thought was his power. He trusted Hermione with this knowledge and knew that she would figure out a way to help him. She had never let him down before.

Harry heard a knock on the door, but was too lazy to answer it. Besides, he really didn't want to deal with his relatives at the moment.

"Harry James Potter, open this door right now!"

Harry jumped up and opened the door to reveal Hermione Granger looking back at him and smiling.

"Hermione, what are you doing here?" Harry asked shocked at the appearance of his best friend in the hallway.

"I came to spring you" Hermione said.

Harry smiled and pulled Hermione into a hug. Hermione smiled even wider since she knew this was the first time Harry ever initiated a hug.

"Where are we going?" Harry asked excitedly.

"That's a secret, for now let's get you packed" Hermione said.

Harry nodded, trusting his best friend fully.

Hermione looked around the cramped room and wrinkled her nose.

"This is your bedroom?" she asked.

"Uh, yeah" Harry said hesitantly.

Hermione's eyes narrowed and she rushed back downstairs with Harry following after her. When they got to the kitchen Harry found Fleur Delacour there, as well as another girl that Harry couldn't quite place though she looked familiar. Fleur and the other girl had their wands pointed at the Dursleys, who were cowering in the corner.

"What ees eet 'Ermione?" Fleur asked noticing the bushy haired girl.

Hermione didn't answer the French witch, but set her sights on the three cowering Dursleys.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't hex the three of you into oblivion" Hermione growled.

"Hermione, what's the matter?" the girl asked.

"The problem, Penny, is that these three have Harry living in the smallest bedroom that is quite horrid" Hermione said never taking her eyes of the Dursleys.

Both Penny and Fleur's eyes widen before they narrowed as they glared at the Dursleys.

"Hermione, it's a lot better than it was. I mean, my bedroom before was over there" Harry said as he pointed out the cupboard under the stairs.

Hermione sped past Harry and opened the cupboard door to find it the way it was after Harry moved his stuff to the smallest bedroom. Inside the cupboard was a small bucket that smelled like urine and crude drawings on the wall. There was also an inscription on the wall too. It read 'Harry's room'. This of course infuriated Hermione even more.

"That's it, Fleur, Penny. I don't care what you do, but show no mercy" Hermione said coldly.

Fleur had a wicked smile on her face as did Penny. The two girls raised their wands.

"Come on Harry, we need to pack your things" Hermione said pleasantly.

Harry just followed Hermione since he was confused at what was going on, but knew that Hermione would never lead him astray. Once they were back in Harry's room and began packing. They heard screams coming from downstairs and Harry got worried.

"Don't fret Harry, Fleur and Penny won't leave any permanent damage" Hermione said.

"Uh, yeah, if you're sure" Harry said hesitantly.

Hermione just smiled.

Once everything of Harry's was packed up Hermione shrunk it and put it in her pocket.

"Hermione, what about the restriction of underage magic?" Harry asked worriedly.

"I was able to get the tracking charm off my wand" Hermione said.

"Can you do my wand too?" Harry asked eagerly.

Hermione nodded. The two headed downstairs where Fleur and Penny was waiting for them.

"All packed?" Penny asked.

"Yup, you make sure you didn't leave any magical trace?" Hermione asked.

"Of course" Fleur answered.

"Then lets go" Hermione said.

The four left Privet Drive and once they were a good distance away and no one could see them Fleur pulled out an old deflated beach ball from her pocket. She held it out for the other three to touch it. Harry gave Hermione a look before he touched the ball. Hermione gave him a smile, which made Harry feel at ease and he touched the ball. With a tap of Fleur's wand they all felt a tug on their navel and disappeared.

/Scene Break/

Dumbledore was in a panic. He had just been alerted of magic being performed at Privet Drive thanks to the monitors he had placed there. But when he got there with McGonagall in tow, they found the Dursleys hexed and Harry missing.

"Could Harry have done this?" Dumbledore asked worriedly.

McGonagall looked at the handiwork and shook her head.

"No Albus, these spells are N.E.W.T. level and beyond. Harry couldn't have performed them" the aging Transfiguration mistress said.

Dumbledore sighed, that was one fire he didn't have to deal with.

"So who do you think did it?" he asked.

"I don't know Albus, but they weren't Death Eaters, they'd of killed them" McGonagall said.

Dumbledore nodded.

"Where do you think Harry is?" McGonagall asked worriedly.

"He probably got frighten and ran" Dumbledore said in 'I am totally right' tone.

"What should we do Albus?" McGonagall asked.

"Call in the Order, we need to find Harry and place him in a secure location" Dumbledore said.

McGonagall nodded, though she hoped to find Harry first so she could find out what really happened.

/Scene Break/

Harry fell to the ground as the Portkey got them to their destination. He was helped up by the girl named Penny.

"Thanks" Harry said.

"No problem Harry" Penny said smiling.

"Um, where are we?" Harry asked looking around with caution at his new surroundings.

"We're safe Harry" Hermione answered.

Harry nodded and followed the three girls to what appeared to be a conference room.

"What's going on Hermione?" Harry asked curiously.

"Harry, sit down" Hermione said.

Harry did as he was told and sat down. Hermione sat down next to him. Fleur sat on his other side and Penny sat across from him.

What's going on?" he asked again.

Hermione was now quite nervous and began to fiddle with the hem of her shirt.

"Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Give her a minute Harry, she just trying to get her thoughts together" Penny said.

Harry nodded and waited patiently for to begin.

"Alright Harry, I may have done a few things that you might not like at first, but it was the only way I could find to help you defeat Voldemort" Hermione said.

"Hermione, nothing you could do could ever make me hate you" Harry said with certainty.

"Ikindacreatedaharemforyou" Hermione said in a rush with her eyes shut.

"What?"

"I, uh created a harem for you, Harry" Hermione said this time slowly.

Harry's eyes widen.

"Why, why would you do that?" he asked not sure if he'd like the answer.

"Well, I did a lot of research after you told me the prophecy and what Dumbledore had said before and realized that since your power is love then I needed to recruit other girls for you to love to enhance your power" Hermione said all in one breath.

Harry was stunned, he knew that Hermione would find a solution to this problem, but this wasn't solution he was expecting at all from his best friend.

"Please Harry, say something" Hermione pleaded.

"I, uh, um" Harry responded.

"'E's just stunned zat's all" Fleur said.

"Well, it is a lot to take in" Penny said nodding in agreement to what Fleur had just said.

Harry put his head in his hands as he tried to understand everything that Hermione had just told him. This was all too surreal and that's saying a lot since Harry has seen and been in a lot of strange things since coming to the wizarding world.

"Hermione, I'm not disagreeing with you in any way, but are you sure of this?" Harry asked.

Hermione let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding. Harry hadn't rejected the idea entirely, he just wanted to know how she came to this solution. She nodded and waved her wand and notebooks appeared.

"I've written everything out Harry, and I looked at every single option there was that could be possible and found that this was the only one" Hermione said, "it's your ability to love that is your power and I thought that if you have more people that you love and love you then it would only increase your power. Now, I know there are many different kinds of love, but the strongest I found was love between two people. So I just decided to multiple it a few times."

Harry looked at the mounds of notes that Hermione had taken and knew that she looked at every angle hoping to find the right solution. And this is what she found was the best out of all of them.

"Okay, so who are all involved with this?" Harry asked with a sigh as he accepted his fate.

Hermione smiled, Harry was on board with it.

"Well I am, as are Fleur here and Penny too" she said.

Harry turned to the two girls around him. He knew Fleur from the tournament since the French witch was one of the competitors he was against, and a friend once they got to know one another. But Penny he didn't know really. He had a vague memory of her being Percy's girlfriend at one point. He asked Penny about this and she told him that she dumped him. Thankfully she left out what she told the other girls that gave them the image of Percy and Fudge snogging.

"Any others?" Harry asked hoping that was it.

Hermione handed Harry a list, which had all the names. Harry looked through it and his eyes widen.

Harry's Harem

Hermione Granger

Fleur Delacour

Penelope Clearwater

Susan Bones

Padma Patil

Parvati Patil

Luna Lovegood

Daphne Greengrass

Harry knew all the girls on the list, but the last two. Daphne Greengrass he knew was a Slytherin, but that's all. As for Luna, he didn't even know a Luna Lovegood as far as he can remember.

"Well, what do you think?" Hermione asked nervously.

"Well, it is an interesting list, but I don't know Daphne that well and who is Luna?" Harry asked.

"Daphne isn't like Malfoy and his group, she's an outsider in her house along with Tracey Davis, but Daphne was the only one who decided to attend. As for Luna, I don't know her either really, but she just showed up with the rest. She's quite odd, but I think she will fit in" Hermione said.

Harry nodded, he trusted Hermione's judgment and knew she'd only pick out girls that he'd feel comfortable with. Though the Patil twins made him a bit uneasy as he remembered the Yule Ball.

Hermione read his thoughts.

"Padma and Parvati don't blame you for what happened. Parvati understood after I told her that you were very uncomfortable with the whole thing. Parvati said she could sense that and that the whole ball was nice until you sat next to Ron" she said, "as for Padma she is more upset at Ron than you since all you did was try and help a friend."

"Okay" Harry said feeling relieved.

"Now, we have this house thanks to Fleur and her family's connections. We are going to train you and you are going to get to know the girls" Hermione said.

"Alright, when do we start?" Harry asked.

Hermione smiled and waved her wand giving the signal. Soon the other girls appeared wearing normal muggle clothes that really showed off their teenage figures.

"Hello Harry" they all said.

"Uh, hi" Harry said not sure what else to say.

/Scene Break/

Two weeks passed and Harry was working out and getting to know the girls that will be his harem. He found each of them unique in their own way.

Susan was shy at first, but once she opened up she was a joyful young woman with furious loyalty to those she loved, which was a trait that most all Hufflepuffs have aside from hard working. She was also quite smart and knew much of the laws of magical Britain and how to get around them too. Her aunt was the head of Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which could be useful later on.

Padma and Parvati were quite opposite of one another as they were alike. Padma was the intellectual one of the twins. Parvati was more outgoing and loved to live life. The two shared the same brains though. Padma showed hers off more than Parvati, but that didn't mean she was stupid at all. No, Parvati was smart also, but her mind didn't lean towards book smarts like her sister, but in people. Parvati was very good at reading people the way Padma is good at deducing problems.

Fleur was very nice and Harry knew that as he saw that side of her after the second task when cuddling her sister. He also found that Fleur was very smart too and graduated from Beauxbatons at the top of her class. She had a mastery in Charms already, which is a feat given her age. She acted all haughty to repel boys since they only saw her for her beauty and body.

Penelope, who liked to be called Penny was smart also, but that was a given since she was a former Ravenclaw and Head Girl. Harry found her to be a very lively and a bubbly girl, who liked to learn, but knew how to have fun also. Harry liked her sense of humor. What he also liked about Penny is that she understood him almost as well as Hermione even if they didn't really know each other before then.

Daphne was a girl he didn't really know about since she was in Slytherin and he was in Gryffindor. And Slytherins and Gryffindors don't get along at all. But he found that Daphne was a very nice girl and not as cold as she appeared in school. That was a persona that she wore to detract boys from getting close to her. She despised all the pureblood boys around her and much of the pureblood society. But she also very knowledgeable in it, which would help him later on. Daphne was also very smart, she was the top of her house in her year. Her intelligence leaned towards the political side of things and would help Harry in that arena.

Luna was the oddest one out of all them. He could never fully figure out what the girl was thinking. She would say the oddest things at the most random times. But he found her a calming presence in his turbulent world. She was quite blunt usually and never scared to speak her mind even though what she said had to be decoded to get what she was actually saying.

Harry was slowly starting to love each of them in his own way, but all of the girls knew that Hermione was number one in his heart.

/Scene Break/

It was Harry's birthday when he got a great surprise. The girls decided to throw Harry a pool party. They'd be the only guests since it was still too risky to let others in right now, but that didn't matter. Harry walked out to the pool to find all of his girls clad in two-piece swimsuits. His jaw dropped at the amount of skin being displayed and how wet they were.

Fleur's suit was almost translucent white with a thong bottom. Penny's was baby blue with a thong bottom. Padma's was a darker shade of blue with a thong bottom. Susan's was a yellow crème color with a thong bottom that matched well with her new tan. Daphne's was an emerald green; that matched Harry's eyes, with a thong bottom. Parvati's was a deep red color with a thong bottom. Hermione's was periwinkle blue that was the same color of her Yule Ball dress with a thong bottom. And Luna's, which was purple and was the most modest of them all since she was still thirteen.

"Hey Harry, glad you can join us" Hermione said with a smile.

Harry was still speechless since all the girls were wet from being in the water and since they were all getting out of the water certain parts were jiggling as they moved.

"Come on Harry, get into your suit, we're waiting for you" Susan said.

Harry just nodded and went to get his suit on, which he was glad was typical trunks and not a speedo or something like it. The color of his trunks seemed to be a mixture of the four house colors. He came back to find his girls waiting for him with smiles on their faces.

"Uh" he said, since he didn't know what else to say.

"We can't have you get sunburned Harry, so lie down and we're put suntan lotion on you" Penny said.

Harry did as he was told and laid down with his back up on one of the deck chairs. All the girls rushed in to get a piece of skin. They began to rub in the lotion slowly. Harry was in heaven, he had some of the hottest girls ever rubbing lotion on his back. But he was also quite tense since he wasn't used to all the physical contact going on.

"Turn over Harry" Hermione said.

Harry did as he was told and soon the same hands were back at it. Once he was all done with getting protected from the sun he and his girls had a great time in the pool. Each girl pressed her body against Harry's making him very turned on. But he was still quite nervous about all the touching that was going on. This irked the girls immensely though they hid it well. But the girls kept it up with idle touching. This soon got to be too much for Harry and he practically jumped out of the pool just to get away from all the wet flesh.

"What are we going to do Hermione, he won't make a move on us" Parvati said with a bit of a whine in her voice.

Hermione thought for a moment.

"He's just nervous. I mean, the only contact with a girl he's had is with me and even that was quite small. Besides, the way he was brought up meant that physical contact was a punch not a hug" she said.

"I still want to get my hands on those Dursleys" Daphne growled.

The other girls nodded, they wanted to pay the Dursleys a visit. Penny and Fleur too, even though they had already had theirs. During their training Harry revealed his childhood.

/Scene Break/

Meanwhile Dumbledore was quite annoyed. He couldn't find a trace of Harry anywhere. He even had the Weasleys send out owls with a tracking charms on them hoping they'd find Harry. But the owls would circle around for a bit then return. This meant that some very serious wards protected Harry. He wished that he some clue to help him, but even Harry's owl wouldn't come around. The old wizard knew that if he wrote a letter to Harry then Harry's owl would appear, but the owl never showed up. This annoyed the old wizard immensely.

/Scene Break/

After the pool party and the birthday dinner Harry was sitting in his room thinking about the day. It was the best birthday he ever had. A voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Harry?"

Harry turned to find Hermione in his doorway.

"Hey Hermione" he greeted.

"Harry, you need to relax. I did this all for you to help you defeat Voldemort" Hermione said.

"I know Hermione, but this a bit overwhelming you know. I mean, I have eight girls ready to give their hearts to me and I barely know them really. Well, except for you" Harry said adding the last bit in haste.

Hermione understood what was going through her friend's mind. She was of course the font of all knowledge when it came to Harry Potter.

"I know Harry. Here is what I propose you get to know each of us more in a more individual setting" Hermione said.

Harry just looked at Hermione with confusion.

"It means Harry; that you go on dates with one of us so you can get to know us better as an individual" Hermione said explaining it to Harry.

Harry smiled, "thanks Mione."

"Anytime."

/Scene Break/

During Harry's training sessions he had a date with each girl as sort of a break in-between training. Each girl had a date a day. This helped him get to know more about his girls.

He learned a lot about each girl, but found that they all shared one character trait. They were all very smart. This turned out to be Harry's thing. He had a thing for smart girls. Soon Harry became more comfortable around each of his girls and that made Harry confident in touching each girl. He'd still be very shy and keep his hands in places that wouldn't get him slapped. It was always up to that girl to coax him into moving his hands where they wanted them. But all in all it was a success.

Hogwarts letters soon came flying in and thanks to modifying the wards the owls were able to pass through the wards, but once the last owl came left the wards were returned to normal. Hermione was named as prefect for Gryffindor and Padma was prefect for Ravenclaw.

"How come you aren't a prefect Harry? I thought for sure you'd get a badge" Parvati asked curiously.

"Dumbledore, the old man did it" Penny said frowning.

"What do you mean Penny?" Susan asked looking up from her letter.

"Though each head of house chooses who they want to be prefects, the headmaster gets final word and he can overrule the choice and pick who he thinks would be better suited for the job" Penny said.

"That means Ron is probably the fifth year male prefect for Gryffindor" Harry said with a sigh.

"How do you know that, I mean it could be Longbottom, I mean Neville, right?" Daphne asked. Daphne was still working on not using last names on people Harry thought of as friends, like Neville. Who stood by Harry during fourth year.

"No, Harry's right. The Weasleys are tight with Dumbledore and it would be just like him to give Ronald the badge even though he never did anything to deserve it" Hermione said with a sigh.

"Yeah, Harry deserves the badge more than Weasley. I mean, if it weren't for Harry than there probably wouldn't be a Hogwarts anymore" Susan said.

The other girls agreed. Over their time together they learned the true stories of Harry's adventures in Hogwarts. Hermione helped provide what she knew of those adventures.

Hermione looked at her badge once more then with a sigh she put it back in the envelope.

"Hermione, what are you doing?" Harry asked watching his friend putting the badge away.

"I can't accept this badge Harry" Hermione said.

"Well, if you're returning your badge then I'm returning mine" Padma said as she dropped her into an envelope too.

"Wait, you don't have to do that" Harry said trying to stop the two girls.

"Harry, if Weasley got a badge then Malfoy is sure to have gotten one and there is no way I'm going to do patrols with that ferret" Padma said.

Harry sighed as Hermione and Padma wrote their letters to their respective head of house stating why they were rejecting such an honor.

Later when all the girls and Harry were relaxing Harry found Hermione with her feet in the pool looking out at the clear summer sky.

"Hey, mind if I join you?" Harry asked.

Hermione moved over giving Harry room to sit. He then took off his shoes and socks and dipped his feet in the water.

"I know that it was hard for you turning down that prefect badge. You worked so hard to get it" Harry said.

"I did work hard, but I realized that there are more important things in life than a shiny piece of metal" Hermione said.

"And what's that?" Harry asked.

Hermione turned to Harry, "you."

Harry smiled and wrapped an arm around his first love.

/Scene Break/

McGonagall was livid. She just got a letter from one of her favorite students returning the prefect badge she so rightly deserved. The letter incensed her even more. Her student's reason was because the badges weren't handed out due to merit. This made her remember a certain meeting in the headmaster's office.

Flashback

McGonagall and the other three head of houses were in the headmaster's office discussing plans for the new school year.

"Well, now, I believe it is time we find out who will be the new prefects" Dumbledore said.

"I'll go first" Pomona Sprout said.

There were no objections to this.

"I choose Miss Hannah Abbott and Mr. Ernie Macmillan" Sprout said.

"Excellent choices Pomona" Dumbledore said with a nod.

"I select Miss Padma Patil and Mr. Terry Boot" Filius Flitwick said.

"Good choices" Dumbledore said with another nod of approval.

"Mr. Draco Malfoy and Miss Pansy Parkinson are my choices" Severus Snape said.

Before Dumbledore could approval voices of disapproval were heard.

"You think it is wise letting Mr. Malfoy have that kind of power. I've seen him act like he's already a prefect and it scares me of what he might do now when he does have this power" Flitwick said.

"Yes, besides his grades show that he doesn't have the proper requirements to become a prefect" Sprout said.

"I agree with my colleagues, Mr. Malfoy would only abuse his position in every way" McGonagall said adding her two cents in.

"Now I see you all have you're worries about Mr. Malfoy, but I think giving Mr Malfoy some sort of responsibility will help change the young man" Dumbledore said pleasantly.

Three of the four head of houses disagreed with this assessment, but kept their comments to themselves. So Malfoy and Parkinson got the approval.

"I would like to nominate Miss Hermione Granger and Mr. Harry Potter as this year's Gryffindor prefects" McGonagall said.

"Great, just what we need, Potter's head getting bigger" Snape sneered.

"Stop living in the past Severus. Mr. Potter is nothing like James and you'll just have to accept that" McGonagall snapped.

"I think Miss Granger and Mr. Potter would well together. They already have a bond between them. Not to mention their entire house respects them" Flitwick said.

"Yes, and Miss Granger's grades are above and beyond what is needed as a prefect and Mr. Potter's are more than good enough too" Sprout said.

"I concur with you two and that is why I chose them. No one in my house has shown such leadership that prefects must show then those two" McGonagall said.

"Yes Minerva, but I will have to overrule you" Dumbledore said.

"What do you mean Albus?" McGonagall asked shocked. Never in her position as head of house has Dumbledore overruled her choice in prefects.

"While I'll accept Miss Granger as Gryffindor's female fifth year prefect I'm going to say no to Mr. Potter's" Dumbledore said.

"For what reason?" McGonagall asked now with a slightly red face.

"Young Harry has too much on his plate to deal with and adding him as a prefect is too much for one to shoulder at his age" Dumbledore said.

McGonagall was angry and it showed in her set jaw. This meant Flitwick asking who the alternative would be.

"Mr. Ronald Weasley" Dumbledore said.

"Are you out of your mind Albus" McGonagall exploded.

Sprout, Flitwick and Snape jumped at McGonagall's tone, though Dumbledore sat there serenely.

"Minerva, I think this is for the best. It's for the greater good" Dumbledore said.

"For who's greater good Albus. I've watched Mr. Weasley closely over the years and he isn't prefect material. He's biased and would never hear the problem out. He's also quite lazy and that would make Miss Granger shoulder the entire load while he reaps the benefits" McGonagall shouted.

"I'm going to have to agree with Minerva on this one Albus. Mr. Weasley isn't what a prefect should be. Like Minerva said, he's very lazy. He barely gets his homework in and when he does it is only because Miss Granger pushes him and even then it is below par. If it weren't for her than he'd probably be held back" Filius said.

"Yes, he's a terrible choice for prefect Albus. Mr. Weasley just isn't prefect material" Sprout said.

Snape sat there and said nothing.

"I hear what you are all saying, but my decision is final. Mr. Weasley will be made prefect with Miss Granger" Dumbledore said.

End flashback

McGonagall sighed, now she had to look for a new candidate.

/Scene Break/

The summer was now coming to an end and Harry was feeling quite ready for Hogwarts this year. Thanks to all the training he went through he felt like he could face anything. His training included Occlumency, which was a skill that blocked someone from reading your mind. This became important to learn because Harry found out that both Snape and Dumbledore were masters at Legilimency and that meant they could read your thoughts. Harry didn't like this since he didn't want the greasy bastard read any of his thoughts. His girls also learned Occlumency too, so they couldn't betray Harry's secrets. They didn't know if their newly formed shields could repel an attack by a master since they didn't have anyone to test their shields, but they felt confident that their shields would hold.

The other training Harry and his girls did was physical training. Every girl got into shape, but didn't lose their feminine figure one bit. They did this by using all the manuals and books about workouts for women that Hermione provided. Harry had his own physical training regiment, which only improved on his already nice physique. Thanks mainly to Oliver Wood's obsessive training schedule.

Harry also got enough food in his system to be at the correct weight for his age. His girls made sure Harry ate enough without being Molly Weasley, who just shoved food at you.

And lastly was magical training. Harry learned more spells this summer than he did during the school year. All the spells he learned would help him in a fight. He learned spells that were also not in the Hogwarts curriculum. Harry also taught all of his girls the Patronus charm since he thought that all of his girls should know how to fend off a Dementor.

"Come on Harry, it's time to go" Hermione called.

Harry nodded and carried his trunk down the stairs. Once there Fleur put a feather-light charm on the trunk and put it with the others. Penny was driving them to the station and she and Fleur would escort them. The trip was nice since they all rode in a van that could fit all of them. During the summer Hermione introduced those who weren't well versed in the muggle world so they could venture out if they wanted. The girls took advantage of this and enjoyed shopping a lot, especially when it came to getting news clothes for Harry.

The whole experience was chaotic for Harry. He never seen so many girls in one store looking for clothes just for him. They had him trying on a lot of clothes and modeling them once he put them on. There were a lot of suggestive comments too, which made Harry blush. His old clothes were burned that night in grand style. Now Harry had a whole new wardrobe.

Once at the station and on the platform they made their way to the crimson red train that would take them to Hogwarts.

"Come on, on the train you go" Penny said.

"See you later Penny, I'll write you when we have our first Hogsmeade trip" Harry said after giving Penny a kiss on the cheek.

Penny smiled and returned the kiss.

"Looking forward to it" she said.

Harry kissed Fleur on the cheek too and she reciprocated also.

"Goodbye 'Arry" she said.

Once they were on the train they found a compartment and settled in. Harry sat down with Hermione on his left near the window and Susan on his right by the door. On the other side Daphne and the Patil twins sat; Daphne was by the window and Padma was next to the Slytherin and next to her was her sister, which left Luna to sit in Harry's lap. The girls giggled at this arrangement.

"Very funny you girls, did you plan this?" Harry asked eyeing each of his girls with suspicion.

The girls continued to giggle as they shook their heads.

The train was soon ready to depart when the compartment door opened to reveal Ron and his sister Ginny. Both Weasleys had a frown on their faces for different reasons. For Ron it was because all the hottest girls in their year surrounded Harry. Ginny wasn't happy since her friend Luna was sitting in 'her' Harry's lap.

"Hey mate" Ron said putting on a smile.

"Hey Ron, what's up?" Harry asked casually.

Ron frowned at this, but then he thrusted out his chest showing off his prefect badge.

"I made prefect, so come on Hermione" Ron ordered.

"Why would I go with you Ronald?" Hermione asked in a bored tone.

"Because I know you were made prefect too, so let's get moving" Ron said in a more demanding tone at the end.

"Sorry Ronald, but I returned my badge" Hermione said.

Ron couldn't believe it. He had the whole year planned out. He'd make Hermione do all of the work and when she got so downtrodden he'd come sweeping in and save her, which would make her fall in love with him. Not much of a plan, but if one knew Ron Weasley then you knew planning was not his expertise.

"W-what?"

"I returned my badge Ronald. I don't understand how this is so difficult to comprehend" Hermione said.

"Well Hermione, he is the thickest boy in Hogwarts" Daphne said smirking.

"And just what are you doing here snake?" Ron bellowed as he now realized there was a Slytherin in the compartment.

Harry narrowed his eyes at this and was about to get up when Susan put a hand on Harry's shoulder. He looked at his Hufflepuff girl and she shook her head.

Ginny noticed this and this made her angrier.

"I do believe I'm sitting Weasley, though it must be a hard concept for you to understand" Daphne said now in full ice princess mode.

Ron's ears were now red as he was about to retort, but he never did as he was tugged away.

"Come on Ronnie, time for the prefect meeting."

Lavender Brown took this moment to come in and drag Ron off. Lavender ended up being the female fifth year Gryffindor prefect after McGonagall tried giving Parvati the badge, which she returned. So all that was left was Ginny still standing in the doorway.

"Well, are you going to come in or are you going to stand there the whole trip Weasley?" Daphne asked coolly.

Ginny glared at Daphne then she entered the compartment, but found that there wasn't room left.

"Oh, sorry Ginny. Here lets make some room for her" Hermione said as she pulled out her wand.

Hermione waved her wand and the seat in front of her expanded to accommodate more people. Daphne and the Patil twins moved over to give Ginny a seat. The little redhead sat down next to Parvati.

"So Harry, where have you been all the summer? I tried writing to you, but you never wrote back" Ginny asked sweetly.

"Sorry Gin, I was very busy this summer" Harry answered.

Ginny frowned at this.

"How about you Hermione, what did you do this summer?" Ginny asked pleasantly.

"Oh, nothing much, did my homework, studied ahead for O.W.L's, hung-out with friends" Hermione said casually.

Ginny frowned again, she knew for a fact that Hermione didn't have any friends outside of Hogwarts.

"Why are you all sitting here?" Ginny asked the others.

"Why Ginny, I thought it was quite obvious. I wanted to sit on Harry Potter's lap" Luna said with a straight face.

The other girls giggled at this as Ginny glared at Luna. Luna ignored the redhead's stare as she snuggled into her 'seat'.

"Parvati and I decided to sit here because Harry asked us to. He wanted to apologize for the Yule Ball last year" Padma said and her sister nodded.

Ginny nodded since that sounded like something Harry would do.

"I'm here because my auntie wants me to be safe and who better than to protect me then Harry here" Susan said as she wrapped her arm around one of Harry's.

Ginny shot a look at Susan that said, 'get your filthy hands of my man'. But Susan ignored the look as she inched closer to Harry.

Daphne didn't say a thing she just sat there.

"And what are you doing here?" Ginny sneered at Daphne.

"I'm sitting Weasley, I know that you're brother is dumb, but I thought you had more brains than him" the ice princess said.

Ginny glared at Daphne and was about make a comment about Daphne when Harry stepped in.

"Enough Ginny, Daphne came in here and hasn't been rude to me or the others so don't start" Harry said firmly.

Ginny, like the other girls in the compartment felt the power coming off Harry and knew that it was best to do as he says since they might not like what happens if they disobey. Though a few of the girls had a few naughty thoughts about disobeying Harry in private.

When Ron came back he was angry, but just sat down next to his sister without a word.

"Malfoy was made prefect" Padma said.

"Yeah, I mean why would they give that prick a badge" Ron ranted.

"I don't know, they gave a brick a badge" Daphne said coolly.

Ron looked at the Slytherin with confusion.

"She meant you Ronald" Hermione said with a sigh.

Ron's ears soon went red again and he was about to retort when Harry spoke up again.

"If you say one hurtful thing to Daphne then I'll chuck you off this train" Harry said in a calm quiet voice.

This voice chilled both Weasleys. This voice scared them more than their mother's booming voice. Everything soon got back to normal until the compartment door opened and Malfoy stepped in. He had his chest out showing off his shiny prefect badge, Pansy Parkinson was on his arm and his two bookends were at the rear.

"Well if it isn't Potty, and look, he's recruited more losers," Malfoy said with his usual snotty tone.

Pansy and the bookends snickered at this.

"Shove it Malfoy" Ron said glaring at Malfoy.

"Careful Weasley, I'm a prefect now" Malfoy said pointing to his badge.

"Well so am I" Ron said smirking.

"Yes, it seems the quality of prefects have sagged" Malfoy sneered.

Ron's ears went red.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Harry asked in a bored tone.

"Speak when you're spoken to Potty. I'm your superior" Malfoy said tapping his badge.

"Really, I thought you were a pile of shit with a shiny piece of metal sticking out" Harry said calmly.

Harry's girls giggled quietly at this as Malfoy's pale face turned red.

"You're in trouble Potter" Malfoy said.

"Please Malfoy, even when you have power you still hide behind someone" Harry said in a bored tone.

"I hide behind no one" Malfoy exclaimed.

"So why don't you act like a man and face me in a duel instead hiding behind your father's frilly dress" Harry said.

Malfoy's face was quite red by now while Harry was cool as a cucumber.

"Professor Snape will be hearing about this" Malfoy said fuming.

"There you go again running and hiding again Malfoy. Pretty soon you'll be kissing Voldieshort's frilly gown" Harry said.

"How dare you call the dark lord that" Malfoy as he pointed his wand at Harry.

Harry however didn't even move a muscle and looked at Malfoy's wand with disinterest.

"Are you done?" he asked in a bored tone.

The girls weren't shocked at this, but the two Weasleys were as was Malfoy and his entourage. They never had seen Harry act like this before; usually by now Harry would be burning mad ready to hex someone.

Malfoy hmphed and put his wand away then left with his entourage.

"Bloody hell mate, how'd you do that?" Ron asked shocked.

"I learned a lot of things over the summer Ron" Harry said with a shrug.

A/N: I was going to make this into a huge oneshot, but found that it was way too big to be just in one and I had to separate it into parts. Thanks for reading and please review.
