Holdred

Chapter 4

Harry jumped out of bed, tossed on a robe and disappeared. Kara faster had robed herself and grabbed Harry just before he left. Hermione and the elves started caring for Luna, She had only fallen a couple of seconds ago.

Harry arrived in the center of the lobby. Raised his hands and shouted, "We aren't attacking. We need Axe Grinder now."

The guards recognized the pair standing there with there arms far from their weapons, the name Axe Grinder had one bolt to a wall and punch some almost invisible runes. Axe Grinder appeared as if by magic. "Yes, milord what is it?"

"Seer Lovegood saw and we witnessed a pronouncement that something bad was happening in Gringott's right now. Is there a way to lockdown all vaults and business for the night instantly? My vaults will compensate the bank."

Axe Grinder nodded his head and somewhere someone punched a siren. All knew that tone. Business stopped everywhere.

The Potters watched as a few customers left. Two men were arguing loudly as they headed toward the exit. Two smaller cloaked figures followed them. The slightly smaller of the two saw Harry standing there. It ran over knelt and grabbed his hand. "Please Potter help."

One of the men heard. He barked, "Daughters be silent and follow me home."

Harry waved his hand at the goblins by the door. It slammed shut. "Sir, my curiosity is up. A petitioner had beseeched my help. As is the right of any Lord, I wish to know, what your business was and who the petitioners I am helping are." He waved his hand and the cloaks fell from Daphne and Astoria Greengrass. Under the cloaks, they were dressed in high quality transparent colored silks. Harry pointed to the ground near him. "Petitioners, kneel there until this is over the goblins will act as neutral judges. Sir it appears you were trying to sell them into slavery. Slavery is illegal in Britain. What do you have to say?"

"Women are an asset to the family to be used to further the family goals."

"And what are your family goals, sir?"

"Why to gather more wealth and power of course. House Rosier was going to take both girls as consorts. The first boy child either has will be a Greengrass and returned to me. The girls and other children they have stay with House Rosier. The Lord of House Rosier may use any manner he chooses to make sure they both have children from his loins. His existing family is not allowed to physically or magically damage the girls. I get a good portion of his businesses. It is a good deal."

"Petitioners, is what he stated true? You will find you can't lie."

Daphne responded, "It is true as far as he went. As soon as a son is produced, we are expendable. The bastard or his sadistic family could do anything they wanted."

Astoria continued, "They planned on giving us amortenta so we tried to love and please whoever we were given to. We would be toys before the birth and expendable toys after the birth."

"Petitioners do you volunteer to take any position high or low in House Potter should I get you out of your predicament?"

The girls responded, "Yes" and "Yes, we do"

Harry turned to a nearby fully armored goblin. His armor indicated a higher status than a guard. "Master Goblin, is it true that I have never met you and do not know you?"

"That is true Lord Potter."

"Would you act in honor before your brothers to see a fair accounting is done today?"

"Yes Lord Potter I am willing to act in the interests of both parties. Allow me a few minutes as I gather information."

Harry had done his job. Now he had to allow others to do theirs. The large armored goblin went to one side of the room and waved. Several goblins went over to him. The older wizards were watching the boy pretend to be a lord. When the girls instantly obeyed him, as his ring would force petitioners to do they became a little worried. Their worry became worse as it appeared the goblins took him seriously as well. Both men saw their account managers waved over.

The large goblin stated, "I am General Ulgirk, I command all the tribes warriors. My seer ordered me to be here today to prevent travesty and tragedy. Mr. Potter you do have a reputation for being hot headed. You handled yourself well."

He turned to the wizard that was head of House Rosier. "House Rosier is broke. Your death eater cousin lost all your businesses and money. The statement you showed him was from six months ago. By phrasing everything in terms of future profit, you would get the girls for free. In fact, it looked as if you were going to use their initial upkeep fee that was supposed to obtain appropriate clothing and accessories to fit into your household as money you would use to flee the country. You could easily add a little something with their love potions so they never produced male children. You would have had free loving slaves as long as they survived."

The wizard looked sick to know his plans were discovered. Lord Greengrass looked green not a pleasant shade. "You were just a greedy fool that believed him and wanted money more than your daughters. Your account manager tried to warn you that this was a bad deal. They are only allowed to do so much."

"Lord Potter it is my recommendation that you remove the cheat and the idiot. Their absence will improve the world."

Harry bowed to the goblin. This was one he didn't need to make angry. "Sir may I speak to the Petitioners a moment in a privacy cone?"

"One of mine can cast it for you. It is death to bring out a wand in my presence, even if I like you."

"No need I can cast it without a wand." He waved then turned to the girls, "Hello Daphne, how has Hogwarts been since I left?"

"Potter, what are you doing this is serious here?"

"I thought that was Lord Potter." He stated dryly.

She gulped, "I'm sorry milord, I forgot my place. After Dumbledore died, everyone was scared to death. Then Luna and Hermione disappeared yet none of the death eaters' unmarked spawn claimed they were dead. It has been better since the assassins started killing death eaters. Suddenly the death eaters' spawn left school one day and they haven't returned yet. The upper years in Slytherin have been very empty. A few others are missing as well."

"Astoria, are you doing well in class?"

"Yes milord, Ravenclaw has been easier on me than Slytherin was on Daphne. I believe I am second in my year after Lovegood. Daph is second after Granger."

Harry shook his head. "How did I get the four smartest? Now I will never have a chance. Now the real question, after what your father has done should his life be spared. He just about gave you up forever for nothing."

"No" "No"

Harry turned. His arms moved blindingly fast. A sharpened Knut sliced through the chests of both men. The Knuts rolled on the floor behind the dead wizards. Harry waved his hand and the silence went away. He walked over and picked up the two deformed coins. He knelt before Ulgirk, "Sir, I have defaced two coin of the realm. If there is a penalty I am willing to pay it."

"Rise Lord Potter, your new slaves may rise as well. I remember being young. That position is never comfortable for too long. Yes, there is a penalty. You lose the coins defaced plus a hundred times their value. I am told your vaults can handle it. I will be keeping those as a memento. You know you could have killed me with those."

"Please bill me for what I am about to do." He walked over to a guard and pointed to his dagger. It was surrendered cautiously Harry put one arm on a desk and tried to drive the dagger into it. He barely succeeded. When he pulled out the blade, the wound closed in moments. He walked over to a rock wall and hit it with his bare fist. The fist-sized hole in the marble remained even if the dagger mark did not. He returned the dagger to the guard, "I'm sorry I got a little blood on it."

The guard grinned and took back his weapon. "Sir, as you can see I have no need of weapon or magic to defend myself yet I have never done anything that I am aware of to upset the goblin people. You value honor and honesty. All races have a few criminals and you handle them efficiently within your codes." Harry bowed again and backed to where the girls were waiting.

Ulgirk looked at him a minute and started laughing. "How many of us would be down if we attacked you Lord Potter?"

"Half or more given that Kara and I would have to spend time guarding Daphne and Astoria."

"Lord Potter you wife detects as a sq…" Axe Grinder hissed. There was now a sword at his throat. It was not safe to interrupt his lordship. "Speak"

Axe Grinder groveled, "One of the best ways I know of to make Lord Potter Black Loose his temper is to call her that word. I also recommend not calling one of his consorts the 'm' word. You can insult each other in fun all you want. You insult his females or his parents and you are probably dead but don't know it."

A brash guard said, "Ha a wizard we need to be cautious of I don't believe it. If she is a squib or a bitc…" The goblin fell over dead with several inches of a quill embedded in his eye. The other goblins looked uneasy, what else could the wizard use to kill them with? So far, he had pulled no weapon on a goblin. No law was broken. He didn't even seem to have his wand with him.

A hand wave in Axe Grinder's direction freed him. "Brother Axe Grinder it seems you were looking out for my best interests at the risk of your own life. We need more of your kind. Your bravery is superb. Lord Potter Black it shall be noted that no one make derogatory remarks towards you or your family." A rattle from somewhere sounded. "I see our crisis point has past. I suggest Brother Axe Grinder give you an amulet that allows you to exit any bank portal not just the one you entered. It also over comes the portal charm so if you enter in China you don't have to speak Chinese. I must leave now that the problems here have been solved."

Kara walked over to the hole in the wall that Harry made. She used a wandless summoning charm to gather the debris. Then she added her heat vision to the debris in her hand and the wall. Once they were almost molten, it was forced it in placed and made perfectly smooth. She turned to Axe Grinder who was watching with awe. "Don't let anyone touch that. It is a little hot." The wall still glowed from the heat.

Daphne and Astoria were very subdued as they left the bank. They didn't know what use Potter had for them or if they were supposed to be basically nude or not. They did not get their cloaks. Harry draped them with their cloaks before they exited. He said, "Give me a hug." They obeyed after a strange look. Harry transported them all home.

When they arrived Daphne had a bit of a fit, "But you can't side along apparate more than one at a time."

Hermione was standing there and hugged the Slytherin. "How is my library sister?"

Daphne's brain caught up to the fact her friend was here. "I have missed you my friend. What is Potter going to want me to do as his slave? He isn't into pain I hope."

Hermione replied, "Daph calm down. Harry isn't into slaves." Astoria was listening to everything.

Daphne collapsed, "Oh thank Merlin. I think I can handle being a concubine. I only have to do what the family says and I can even leave the house with permission for errands."

Hermione asked Astoria, "What did you want to do after school?"

She replied, "I always fought with dad but I want to learn to heal and help people. I didn't care about making money or doing politics. Daphne likes politics. She is good at figuring people out. I know the law and concubines can't go back to school. Is there a way that you could sweet talk him into allowing me a tutor so I can learn to be useful?"

Daphne interrupted before Hermione could reply, "I will never be useful or do what I want. I have met Potters wife. I never want to cross her. I would be in pieces."

"Daphne you will find Kara is very nice. You will also find that Harry isn't really into concubines either. He awarded Luna and I consort status. If you don't make him angry, you will probably be consorts as well. He also hasn't touched us in the bedroom yet. He didn't save us for sex. He didn't save you for sex either."

"Aren't we pretty enough for him?"

"Daphne you have to understand that Harry is different from any other wizard out there. He has his own code of justice and follows it." Daphne looked at Hermione a bit dazed.

Harry and Kara returned to the others. They appeared to have been busy while they were gone. Daphne came and knelt before Harry. "Milord, could you do me a favor?"

"First, in our household we use first names. Now what do you need Daphne?"

"My best friend is worried about her future. She is a skilled cook and wants to be a potions mistress. The first marriage contract was voided by the fact that all the males in the Nott family were killed. Tracy is so worried about whom her father will find next. A second close friend of mine is the only member of her house left. She was an orphan similar to you. She was raised by her aunt. She needs to be a consort so her first son could further the Bones linage. Susan is very nice, loyal and skilled in the knowledge of current British Law as am I. Her best friend is in love with Longbottom. I believe he is a friend of yours."

"Daphne, while I was busy, I assume that Hermione and Luna told you that you and your sister are consorts not slaves."

"Milord Harry, she implied such. I was hoping it was true. I didn't want to become a bedroom toy for you, as I would have for the Rosiers. I know my requests may seem pushy but it would be best for the girls and I can think of nothing negative for your family."

"Hermione, Luna, what do you think?"

Luna answered, "Susan was always nice to me. I don't know Tracy. I don't think Daphne would steer you wrong seeing you could punish her and her sister any way you wanted. Not that you would do anything but you could." Luna closed her eyes a minute. "I don't see anything bad happening from this."

Harry said, "Daphne, I want you to start correspondence with the girls and their families. After this there better be a really good reason before you even think of adding any more."

"Yes milord, I will only suggest it if it involves our safety or that of the girls in question." She asked a house elf to show her someplace she could write letters."

Scion Bones,

We have recently been made aware of your situation. A new consort of mine brought it to my attention. I am certain you know her, Scion Greengrass. She feels you are a friend. Another consort of mine, Scion Lovegood also vouched for you. They both feel I should offer you protection and a chance to be a consort to the Potter Black family.

If you have any interest at all, please reply. Should your owl not be able to find us, give the mail to a house elf. All elves can get messages to us easily.

Consort Daphne Greengrass Potter Black

Scion Greengrass

Secretary for

Lord Harold James Potter Black

A second letter was sent with a little different tone.

Edgar Tiberius Davis

Head of House Davis

I am writing to inquire about the contract for your daughter Tracy Renee Davis. I see I acquired it in the spoils from the Nott estate. Is your daughter with child? If so, was it from one of the Notts? I prefer not to need to kill her. I require an immediate physical examination by a certified healer.

You will bring her to Gringott's bank tomorrow at nine. She will be dressed as befits a daughter to one of your status. Insure that she is healthy.

Harold James Potter Black

Lord and head of House Potter

Lord and head of House Black

Edgar Davis paled when he received the letter. He immediately wrote the school to have Tracy sent to Madam Pomfrey for a full examination. He wrote a second letter to Tracy.

Tracy

We may have a problem. Somehow, Lord Potter Black acquired the right to the Nott vaults as spoils. Your contract was in there. I did not think that contracts were part of the spoils in a vault. I am worried. The goblins are involved.

I know you assured me the Notts have not touched you thank Merlin. I hope the potion I know that is in the beverages there at Hogwarts has prevented any possible accidents. A medical examination has been ordered for you. Should you be pregnant I fear for both of our lives. I need to pick you up in the morning for a meeting at Gringott's. Be ready by eight.

I hope your friend Daphne escaped the fate that rumor says would be hers. I have tried my best to prevent a similar fate for you or our family. Roger is learning what he needs to know slowly. You were always the smarter quicker child. I have always been sorry you weren't first born and a male.

Love

Your Father

Tracy received the letter. Now she was more worried than ever about Daphne and her sister. They had been summoned away from school by their father and had not been seen since.

She wasn't worried about being found pregnant. No one had touched her that way yet. The two that tried had been in the hospital for several days each while their damaged reproductive system was being healed. They were promised a more complete job the next time they tried. She was left alone. Word spread among Slytherin males fast. If you cared about your junk leave Davis alone.

Susan Bones was having a bad spring. Her aunt had died the summer before. The attack that killed her destroyed Bones Manor. She had been at the Abbotts where she stayed the rest of the summer. Hannah was attempting everything to get Longbottom's attention. Hannah hadn't assaulted him yet but she wouldn't be surprised if it was on Hannah's to do list.

Susan was worried about her friends and acquaintances disappearing. First Luna and Hermione were gone over winter break. Daphne and her sister disappeared a few days ago. The death eaters appeared to be having problems as well. She had no idea what she would do this summer or where she would live. How could she carry on House Bones by herself? Her schoolwork was suffering from her depreciation.

She looked up. A white owl brought her a letter. It sort of looked the same as the owl that usually brought Potter his mail. It stood out because it was such a white snowy owl. She read the letter from Daphne and Harry. She noticed that Daphne signed as a consort. Would Potter help her? Her day was looking up.

Thursday morning at Gringott's a very worried Edgar Davis arrived with Tracy in tow. He went to an open window. When the goblin noticed him he said, "I am Edgar Davis. I have a meeting with Lord Potter Black in forty-five minutes. Is there any way I can speak with Broken Axe before the meeting please?"

The goblin looked surprised at the wizard asking instead of telling or demanding. It used its runic keyboard and found Broken Axe unoccupied. "Wizard Davis, follow Caverunner."

The pair were taken to see their account manager. "What can I do for you today Mr. Davis?"

"Manager Broken Axe, I received correspondence from Lord Potter Black. He demanded a meeting today with Head of House Davis about Tracy. You know my financial position and may have heard rumors of his. Is there anything I can offer him so he won't hurt my daughter? I tried to negotiate with the Notts alone and failed. I should have involved you. What can I do to save my family without sacrificing my daughter?"

The goblin was smiling to himself. He had seen Potter save the Greengrass girls. "Mr. Davis, Lord Potter Black does not need your shipping business. I am fairly sure he does not plan to hurt your daughter. I have met Lady Potter Black. She impresses me as the type that even Lord Potter Black will not cross. I am uncertain as to why he demanded this meeting. Do you have his letter?"

Mr. Davis handed over the letter. He retrieved his copy of the marriage contract. He read the letter again. He looked at the signature section. "Miss Davis, what is your relationship with a Daphne Greengrass?"

"She is or at least was my best friend. She disappeared when her father came to get her earlier this week."

"Do you know if she was aware of the fiasco with the Notts?"

"Yes, I cried on her for hours after I found out." Mr. Davis looked down at the floor.

Broken Axe checked the time, "I will escort you to your meeting and stay to represent your interests. Mr. Davis before we go. What are your desires for your daughter?"

"I want whatever is best for her. Yes, she is my child. She might even be my favorite child. I want her to be in a situation where she can be happy if possible. If happy is not possible at least a situation where she is safe."

Broken Axe made a note in the file. Unknown to the Davis family some of their earnings penalty was removed. He might have turned more respectful than the file indicated.

Mr. Davis followed the goblin. Tracy had been silently following the conversation noted that the goblin didn't appear concerned that it would lose any money to manage. It even appeared satisfied about something.

The pair were led to a nice room not far from where they were previously. They were led to chairs waiting for them. At the table were Potter and a girl she had never seen. Tracy was a little less concerned when she saw standing behind the seated pair was Daphne, Granger, Lovegood and Daphne's sister. She noticed Daphne wink at her. Now she was fine. She wouldn't be hurt.

Mr. Davis didn't have such signs to watch. The teenage lord appeared to be collecting. He was worried. "Lord Potter Black, here is the medical report. As you can see, Tracy is still a virgin. She is undamaged and in excellent health. She is in proper clothes. All of her wardrobe would be considered good clothes."

"Mr. Davis, my consort was concerned about your judgment considering the last marriage contract you entered into for your daughter. You seemed to sacrifice much with little return. I am surprised that your account manager allowed you to be coerced into something such as that."

"Lord Potter Black, do not blame Gringott's. The Notts required we discuss it in the Leaky Cauldron. Everything they said seemed so reasonable at the time. Now I can see it was absurd. I requested my account manager to attend so I do not make such a foolish error again."

"Mr. Davis I am pleased. It took you a bit but you have learned. The goblins can watch our backs if we allow it and are respectful. I was told you were respectful today and want what is best for your daughter. Why don't you call me Harry and we can be a little less formal." At this, chairs appeared for the young women that had been standing.

Mr. Davis didn't know what to think. He noticed his daughter was not uptight and guarded. He nodded his head. "I am Edgar. Your letter implied that the old contract was still active somehow."

Daphne spoke up, "That was my doing. The last time I met you, you were very unpleasant. Tracy assured me you were just tired of dealing with Roger's thick headedness. I wanted to be assured you would be here so I took a very hostile attitude in the letter."

Edgar sighed, "Roger is taking forever to learn etiquette. The subtleties of business seem to be beyond him. I have recently wished again that Tracy were going to run my shipping business and not him. It would do much better."

Harry said, "Make her the manager when she graduates."

"You would allow that?"

"Certainly, besides my lovely wife, these young women are all consorts and I will be encouraging them to further their educations and have whatever careers they wish. They need to be home nightly so a Quidditch career is out otherwise I feel I am pretty open."

Edgar shook his head, "Quidditch that is all Roger wants to do. If you allow Tracy to own it, I might make the business a delayed consort gift. I can run and use it as I wish then she can have it. I promise to try to make it grow. I might even follow some of the advice I have been given and ignoring to try to get and keep Roger involved."

Broken Axe was looking pleased. He had two other clients that could gain by working together with Davis Shipping. Davis just had to be reasonable. "Mr. Davis, might I offer some suggestions?"

Edgar replied, "I hoped you would. What have I done wrong now?"

"Nothing yet, you see Lord Potter Black has many businesses. He does not have a shipping business. Do not give away your business for nothing. Now if you wish it to be a partial dowry might I suggest he also pay you something? A vault of cash your heir receives will prevent hard words when the time comes. The rest of your money can go through the business. I suggest thirty or forty thousand galleons. I can show via careful profit and loss statement that the business is worth less than that when this agreement was drawn up. We can invest that money in very safe investments so it will be almost assured to be there for Roger at some point. Having a portion of the Potter Black delivery business will guarantee cash flow and eventual profit even with the loss of capital to set things up for your son."

Edgar looked at the goblin, "You would do that for me? Would he be interested?"

Axe Grinder spoke, "Current suppliers and shippers are only partially satisfactory. I have not been given permission yet to buy such a business or change. If you can deliver consistency and timeliness, we might be able to double your current business volume. Of course if you require a loan, Granger Potter Black investments can probably offer good rates and credit to Davis shipping managed by Consort Davis Potter Black. Both businesses can make money. Of course when business we assist make money then we make money." Axe Grinder grinned.

Edgar had never seen a grinning goblin. He felt either he had done something very wrong and needed to run or things were going very right. He looked around the table the other humans didn't seem real concerned. He looked at Tracy, "I'm not doing something stupid again with out your consent. Do you wish to be a consort to Lord Potter Black?"

Tracy couldn't believe it. She was going to run the family business with her father instead of Roger. Roger could go play Quidditch. "Father, I believe this is wise and a good thing for all of us."

Harry mentioned, "I can get a professional trainer to work with your son so he has a chance to be a better chaser. You can say you hired them. I saw your last income statement. I am not very business savvy but I could see it was neglected a bit and you can't afford to hire such a person. This will get Roger out of every ones hair. Apparently, he was a good captain and chaser two years ago. With the right training, he can be better."

Edgar sputtered, "I don't know what to say. You are offering my family so many things that I would never have thought of or been able to afford. It seems too good to be true. What is the catch?"

Harry smiled tiredly, "Circumstances required I act and save Daphne and her sister. They were worried about your daughter. The ladies decided to try to help Tracy. I am sorry sir but your track record is poor concerning her. Now I believe it was due to worry over Roger your heir. Everyone also makes mistakes. I also believe now that the last contract was spell influenced. Maybe the Notts didn't cast the spell but one of their friends did. We were ready to use force and threats. I am so glad they were unnecessary. We can work out the details where both your advisor and mine are happy."

The meeting lasted another hour. After that, Tracy ran around the table and hugged Daphne, "I am so glad you are safe. I was afraid your father had done something stupid again."

"He did. He gave away my sister and me to a family of sick bastards and got nothing in return. If Lord Potter hadn't shown up when he did we would be being tortured right now."

Tracy's eyes got large. She whirled and hugged Harry. "Thank you for saving my sister. We have been together since we were small. You are proving that you are a wonderful man.

Else where in Gringott's, Susan Bones was meeting with Gnarl Bane her account manager. "Scion Bones, I can understand your concern. I can almost guarantee that House Potter Black will not try to rob the House Bones vault. It would not surprise me if he never even touched the vault until your son was old enough and trained to properly manage it."

"Is he that well off? From my statements the House Bones vault has a good number of Galleons in it."

"Scion Bones, I am not allowed to give numbers but one of his smaller vaults has more in it than the House Bones vault does. A fellow of mine over heard Lord Potter Black mention that he wanted a large family. Confidentially, he has the means to care for a large family with no problems."

"Does he just want me for sex then to be able to produce children for him?"

"At this point he is married to a strong woman. He also has four or five consorts. A runner today heard one of the young women mention that the lord hadn't touched any of them yet. They were hoping he would soon."

"Are they that ugly then that he hasn't touched them? Wait one of them is Scion Greengrass. Most boys in school think she is beautiful. Some of them think I am as well. At least the ones who prefer full bosoms."

The goblin smiled, "Scion Bones, I understand Lord Potter Black is in the bank. Do you wish a message sent to him to start negotiations?"

She murmured to herself, "Do I look all right? Oh my, I didn't dress my best. These robes don't compliment my figure." A little louder, she said, "If he has time, I could see him today I guess. He doesn't come to school anymore."

"I will send a message to that conference room. When they are done, they will tell us. In the mean time, I have been meaning to bring up …" The rest of the conversation dealt with investment business and changes that Gnarl Bone recommended.

Susan Bones was soon escorted to the conference room with the Potter Blacks. Luna asked, "Susan, what are you doing away from school?"

"Luna my friend, I am glad to see you safe and sound. I came here today to talk to my account manager to see if he thought Lord Potter Black was out to steal my vaults. I always thought he was nice in school. I never supported the other side. Harry always seemed to get the short end of the stick. I don't know if he even noticed me. When Daphne wrote, I wanted to make sure he hadn't changed for the worse. I found that if anything, he has changed for the better."

Luna smiled and hugged her friend. "I knew you were good," was whispered in Susan's ear.

Susan turned to Harry, "Lord Potter Black, officially House Bones accepts your proposal for Scion Susan to become a consort to House Potter Black as long as she produces an Heir for House Bones."

Harry replied with a tight smile, "Hmm, I accept providing we can practice producing an heir for a while before one is actually produced."

Susan blushed bright red, "Lots of practice before and after the heir is produced will be required. Although I see, you need to practice with others possibly before you practice with me. This is fine."

Now Harry was blushing, "Yes." He turned to the goblins. "What do I need to do to help Susan?"

Gnarl Bone said, "It so happens I have a document drawn up that simply states you accept Miss Bones to be your consort."

Daphne read the document. "Manager Gnarl Bone, I see you trust my lord implicitly."

"Yes I do Consort Greengrass Potter Black. By leaving the options to do what he wants, I am sure the Bones vault will have more in it when the new Bones Heir reaches maturity than if I asked for a certain amount of money. I also witnessed the use he makes of money and the structural strength of our walls."

That brought smiles to both Greengrass girls. A few minutes later Susan was a consort as well.

Epilog

All Harry's consorts went back to school to finish their educations. They lived in a house in Hogsmeade.

The family worked with the goblins and fine-tuned their suggestions to deal with the fatherless families. Hogsmeade had another group of houses start to appear nearby. The second village consisted of the death eater widows and or surviving family, such as sisters, cousins, etc. The houses were nice enough but much smaller than they were used to. All the females were encouraged to get more education so they could find jobs.

The residents started calling the village Potterville. The village grew. It had a source of labor. Soon several businesses opened. All of these businesses were approved by the goblin council in charge of watching out for Lord Potter Black's best interests.

Kara and Harry started to be involved in addressing the super villain threat that was starting to appear. They specialized in dealing with magical threats. The villains were starting to make the world aware that magic existed. Harry as Arcane allowed the world to know that at least some of the magic users were good. Harry and Kara did their best to be home every night. The family was very tight knit. None of the girls touched each other in bed but they all enjoyed their time with Harry as well as the nightly group snuggle.

Eventually Daphne and Hermione joined Harry and Kara at fighting crime. Daphne adopted the name Potions Princess and used thrown potions to create various affects. Hermione used the name Morgana Le Fay. They all became very good at it.

The witches in Harry's group worked on legislation that would improve their world. They became expert at using the media early and often until the people thought Harry's point of view was their own. Harry felt a little bad about using the sheep like that but at least his ideas were mostly for their own good.

After a few years, Harry's family started to grow. He was a wonderful father.

Twenty years after the girls graduated, the British government accepted that there were wizards in the country. A slow campaign was involved in revealing them to the rest of the country. Eventually the statute of secrecy was lifted. The combined law enforcement forces used what ever means was necessary to keep the peace.
