James Potter was having a very good morning. It started off with making love to his stunning wife until she screamed his name for the third time that morning before he tried to make her pregnant again by filling her very tight and willing pussy up with his cum. Harry was almost a year old now and he figured it was time to make another Potter baby, maybe a girl this time.

After a shower, breakfast, and kissing his wife goodbye, James was left to head to his meeting with his friend and fellow captain in the Auror Corp, Amelia Bones. Amelia had just lost her brother and sister-in-law to death eater attacks and had approached James about renewing the alliance between House Bones and Potter by betrothing their children/wards and ensuring the continuation of their lines.

"James!" Amelia exclaimed. "How are you this fine morning?"

"Excellent! I had an amazing morning with my wife and now I get to spend time with my good friend. And I hope it will only get better from here. Now, let's get down to business and get our kids together!" James said excitedly. "Okay, just so we are clear…this is for the house of Potter. The first male child will be the Potter Heir and the second male child will be the Bones Heir. Any further children will be decided by Harry and Susan."

"Agreed. I want Susan to remain in control of the Bones fortune and Bones Wizengamot seat though." Amelia stated firmly. "I want that clearly stated in the contract, too."

James smirked, "As you wish, my dear. Now let's get to Gringotts and get this contract drawn up and signed. I'm sure we will all sleep better once this is done and filed."

After a few hours and a signature signed in blood, the contract was finalized. The Bones and Potter houses were bound together through an unbreakable contract. James and Amelia were both happy with the way things went during the contract signing and decided that lunch at the Leaky Cauldron was in order to celebrate.

Lilly Potter woke up from her orgasm induced slumber and stretched languidly. She knew she needed to get out of bed soon in order to get ready for her meeting with Jean and Apolline Delacour. Their friends from France had asked for a meeting at Gringotts to see if they could join in an Alliance with the Griffindor House. Lilly had explained to them about the Bones pending contract with House Potter and knew other contracts would be coming later on in the week.

After taking a leisurely shower and putting on her tight jeans and a red silk blouse that highlighted her amazing breasts, Lilly asked their house elf, Mimzy, to look after Harry for her while she went out for a few hours to conduct business at the bank. Moments later, she stepped through the floo into a private room at Gringotts specifically reserved for this occasion.

Jean and Apolline were their waiting at the table with smiles on their faces. Jean was looking very masculine with his chiseled face, blue eyes, and taught muscles under his acromantula silk shirt and black dress pants. Apolline was wearing a silk dress that formed to every curve and movement the Veela possessed. It was obvious Apolline wasn't wearing any undergarments. Her outfit would have showed even tiniest of lines made by either panties or bra. As it was, her nipples were trying to cut their way out of the dress they were confined in. Apolline was a vision to behold.

Even though Apolline is a vision of beauty, Jean Delacour couldn't help but appreciate the other woman that showed up. Her sleek red hair that looked like fire. Green eyes the color of emeralds that missed nothing. Smooth and flawless alabaster skin that looks so touchable. A flat stomach highlighted by perfect DD cup breasts that rose high on her chest despite the obvious weight of the cantaloupe sized orbs. Long, toned legs encased in tight jeans topped in a tight heart shaped ass that begged to be grabbed and played with. Jean let out a slight groan in response to the woman before him only to groan a little louder when his wife's hand landed on his growing erection giving it a loving squeeze letting him know she was in agreement.

Standing in greeting, Jean took the offered hand and kissed it lightly between the second and third knuckles in formal greeting to the Lady of House Griffindor. Lilly smiled and took her seat.

Knutsack, the Griffindor account manager at Gringotts, spoke up. "Shall we get started then? This is a negotiation between Houses Griffindor and Delacour. Since House Delacour asked for this meeting, they shall begin first."

Apolline took the lead. "We ask for a union of our two Houses. Since we only have the one daughter at this time, we ask that the second son be named the Delacour Heir. If we are able to have a son prior to the fulfillment of this contract, our son will become the Heir and that portion of the contract will not be needed to be fulfilled. But, as I am Veela, it is unlikely to happen as 99% of all children born of Veela are girls."

Lilly nodded in acceptance of these terms. Knutsack began writing as the terms were being agreed to during the meeting.

Lilly raised an eyebrow at the Delacours and receiving a nod in return, began her own stipulations. "I want Harry and Fleur to grow up together until they reach school. I know you want Fleur to attend Beauxbatons Academy, and that is fine. Harry and Fleur will grow up knowing each other and hopefully come to love each other as much as we love our spouses. Harry and Fleur will be raised to be multi-lingual. Latin, French, English, Greek and Chinese will be the languages they will learn. I will not have my son have the same difficulties I did coming into this world. I ask for Fleur to do this as well because I do not want him to feel superior to his wives or they over him. I want a marriage of equals. I will not have my Harry feel he is better or worse than any other. He will have pride in his heritage and who he is, but he will not be an arrogant little shit like the Malfoys."

"Easily done. Is there anything else? We would like to ensure an alliance with House Griffindor and so will not be asking for a dowry. We just want our little girl to be happy" stated Jean. "If there is nothing else, let's finalize the contract and get this signed."

Knutsack had been busily writing all the stipulations onto the magic contract paper. Once all the items were finalized, the contract transformed into all the legal jargon necessary to make it unbreakable. All parties read the completed contract and signed it with the mandatory blood quill.

After a quick thank you and goodbyes were exchanged, the Delacours left to return to France while Lilly was brought refreshments in preparation for her next meeting.

After lunch with Amelia, James left through the floo to the Greengrass Farm. When James stepped through the floo, Cyrus and Valencia Greengrass were waiting in the entranceway of their home to greet their special guest.

"Lord Potter, welcome to my humble home." Cyrus gently pulled wife forward. "You know my wife, the Lady Valencia Greengrass."

James took the offered hand and kissed it in between the second and third knuckles in formal greeting smiling as he said "Always a pleasure to be in the company of the world shaking beauty of the Lady Greengrass." And she was a world shaking beauty. She may not be Veela, but she didn't need to be due to her ethereal beauty. Fine blond hair as smooth as silk that reached her delectable bum. High cheekbones and a small nose that was never turned up in haughtiness. Plump red lips that made every man wish they were pressed against his lips or wrapped around his cock. A delicate neck that drew the eye toward her perfect set of tits. Not as large and heavy as Lilly's wonders, but a perfect C cup. A narrow waist leading to amazing hips, perfect for grabbing onto while pounding into her from behind. Valencia Greengrass was a sight to behold. James clamped down on his occlumency. It would not be polite to have a raging boner while negotiating a marriage contract between the two families. The House of Peverell and the House of Greengrass would be a match of the ages. James was excited to ensure the emergence of House Peverell through his son and the Greengrass Heiress, Daphne.

Occlumency firmly clamped down, James stated "Shall we begin?"

A nod and a knowing smirk, Cyrus led the way to his office to begin negotiations. After everyone was seated, Cyrus decided to take the lead and begin with his first request. "Lord Potter, I would like to begin with what I think might be the easiest of the terms to settle with. The Greengrass is notorious for having girls and very few boys. I would like to ask for the second son to be the Greengrass Heir to pass on the line."

"Easily done." James smirked knowing this was very important to the couple but something he was happy to provide. "I would like to make a request. Potter Shipping becomes the exclusive distributor of all Greengrass businesses for the next 100 years. The contract can be renegotiated at that time or dissolved as needed. The rate will be a competitive rate. Also, it will not change once established. The rate may seem high at first, but it will be extremely low near midterm and almost costly to House Potter."

"I do not agree with these terms. The rate will be a variable rate to allow for inflation of shipping rates over the period of the contract. It will be on the low side of the going rates for shipping but it will increase over the period of the term." Lady Greengrass was smiling pleasantly at her husband and her daughter's future father-in-law.

James relaxed even more into his chair smiling like a loon. The first test of the trustworthiness of the Greengrass family was done. From here on out, he knew he could trust them completely. They were known for being ruthless in business, only making deals that highly favored them. But, when it came to family, they ensured family was placed before profit. This just showed though in the deal just made.

The rest of the negotiations over the contract went well with no issues. An hour later, the contract was signed by all parties using a blood quill to ensure it was unbreakable.

James left soon after to return to Potter Mannor. Lilly met him when he stepped out of the floo, wrapped him in arms and kissed him like she hadn't seen him in months. Once they broke for air, she asked how things went so far only to receive the trademark lopsided grin the Potter men are famous for. "That well? Well, I was wildly successful as well! One more to go today and then our little boy will be protected, loved, and looked after for the rest of his life. He will have women by his side that will support him as he supports them. And, we now have friends and allies that will stand by us in both business and personal endeavors."

"Remember dear, we still have the Tonks left to go. They may be our friends, but Andromeda is a daughter of Black and this is business. She will not allow friendship to interfere with business. We must make sure we are still vigilant in this."

James smiled warmly at his wife. "Let's go and finish this. Then we can rest secure in our son's future. I know Albus means well but he has his hands in too many people's lives. Harry will not be one of those in his control. We can file our will with the ministry, Gringotts and a coy with all our friends. Hopefully this will make sure he isn't controlled by that manipulative old man."

Lilly and James left immediately afterwards to the Tonks home. Upon arrival and shared greetings, the two families settled down to negotiations.

James spoke up, "Andromeda and Ted. Thanks for this meeting. We want you to know, up front, that we want nothing more than your friendship, loyalty, and a bright future for our children. Since the Blacks have deemed fit to kick you out without so much as a by your leave, we want to offer to have all of little Nymphadora's schooling and supplies paid for by the Potter's accounts. This is offered expecting nothing in return. Our friendship will allow us to do nothing less."

Surprisingly, it was Andromeda that had tears fall from her beautiful blue eyes. This was something she and Ted had worried over the past few years. They were able to make a comfortable living, but didn't have much left to save for schooling. So moved and relieved that all negotiating after that was nothing like either party anticipated. Things moved quickly and smooth. Ted and Andromeda couldn't be happier to know their daughter would restart the Eventide Family.

Everyone thought Lilly was a muggleborn. In truth, she as from the squib line of the lost Eventide family. While not as ancient as the Peverells or Griffindor line but was still considered and Ancient House and long thought lost. When the family died out by producing nothing but squibs, they changed their name to Evens to hide from their enemies. Their vaults were placed in an inactive state just waiting to be claimed by the next heir of the line who was a full wizard or witch. Lilly had claimed the vaults and started investing the long inactive fortune into many different companies in the muggle and wizard world as well as properties around the world she had visited with James. It was an impressive portfolio that was quickly making gains. The goblins were ecstatic with their profits.

The couple returned home to relax after a mentally and emotionally taxing day. When they entered the nursery to check on little Harry, they found Padfoot giving him a ride on his back while Harry laughed and squealed in joy. It was a welcome sight to find their boy so happy.

A month later, the unthinkable happened…betrayal on multiple levels. Peter's betrayal of the secret; Albus's betrayal of his supposed friends trust by taking the boy to live with Lilly's sister as well as betraying Sirius by sending him to prison without a trial and then sealing the Potter's will in order to gain magical guardianship of Harry. The last betrayal Albus committed is the fact that he accused anyone who questioned his authority to take Harry or tried to claim they should be his guardian as going dark or actually being dark. Eventually, all relented from the persecution of the greatest wizard to live since Merlin.

Thus our Hero was left in the hands of his tormenters…
