In Pursuit of the Unknown Power

The next morning found Harry surprisingly still on his back with a witch on each shoulder. It was a wonderful way to wake up but he really wanted his other witches. Just as he was about to throw a pity party Gabrielle walked in just as naked as the three of them and climbed up on the bed at his feet.

"Good Morning Master." She whispered grinning devilishly at him.

"Morning Pet, what do you think you're doing?" He asked as she began to slowly pull the sheets and covers off of them.

"I am greeting you properly." She said still with a sly smile.

"Uh, it isn't night time any more Gabrielle, were supposed to save that for later…" He trailed off as his cock bounced into view when the covers revealed it to the morning chill. Gabrielle slowly made her way up to his chest and sank onto his stiff rod just as slowly releasing a growl until he was all the way inside her. On either side of him Hannah and Susan snuggled closer due to the sudden draft.

"Master has needs in ze morning as well as in ze evening. I promise I will no attack you during ze day today." She said as her eyes closed and she sat up, beginning to rock on top of him.

Hannah awoke to a groan from Harry and looked up to see a perfect pair of breasts bouncing. She followed the line down to the perfectly bald pussy that was currently wrapped around Harry's cock. "Oh!" She exclaimed.

This woke Susan who had nearly the same reaction. "Sorry ladies, she attacked me I swear, this isn't the way I wanted to wake you up!" He commented through gritted teeth. He longed to grab a hold of the girl on his lap. He wanted to play with those beautiful breasts and feel her soft skin. But he was pinned down with two other witches. He decided they would just have to do and began running his hands up and down their arms. The only place he could reach.

The girls were glued to the scene before them before Susan noticed Harry's wandering hands. She pulled his arm out from beneath her and directed it between her legs and wrapped her arms around his bicep. Harry immediately began playing with her suddenly slick folds.

Seeing this Hannah grinned at him before doing the same thing, eliciting a groan once more from Harry as he began to diddle the two witches simultaneously, while Gabrielle completed her third orgasm. As both girls on either side of him came in his hands he finally released his seed into the Veela's eager receptacle.

"Now that is one hell of a way to wake up!" Hannah panted on his left side. Susan still couldn't breath so just nodded, and Gabrielle had collapsed onto Harry's chest and was purring contentedly.

After a few minutes of post-coital bliss Harry finally had enough energy to try waking up again. "Thank you Pet, but I think we need to get up and do some work today." He whispered loud enough for all three of them to hear. Gabrielle shook her head but slowly lifted herself up and off of him as the other girls watched and his cum dribbled down onto his cock. Hannah gave up all pretense and hummed happily as she cleaned his tool. Causing him to growl at her. This only made her smile up at him with his cock in her mouth as she finished her job. And they split up to separate showers, Harry insisted he did not need any help in his own and promptly sent them out of the room with a grin. The girls played along and hung their heads like sick puppies.

After his shower he walked out of his closet, and found three thoroughly cleaned witches talking idly on his bed. All were dressed, as was he, which he thanked his lucky stars for. Before thanking them again for last night and this morning.

He waved and smiled shyly at them and Hannah blushed, apparently having had time to think of her actions from the night before and the morning. Now that the clothes were back on, the inhibitions seemed to be back in place, which suited him well at the moment.

He sat down to write a letter to Gin and Mione, as he tried to think of what to write he felt a hollow place inside him that he knew was where they belonged. He ached physically to touch them, even just to run his fingers through their hair, and he found if he concentrated he could almost smell them, which made the longing even worse. He tried hard to understand why it was so hard when he had three willing witches in the bed behind him, and just chalked it up to the longer friendship. He did have a bit of trouble closing the letter, wanting to write love, but not wanting to give the wrong impression. He sealed the letter and signaling that he was ready, the group descended the stairs and was ushered into the Dining room by Winky.

Harry and the girls walked in and found nearly the whole household around the table talking quietly as they ate. His now customary seat at the head of the table was empty opposite the kitchen door, and someone even had the forethought to leave spaces for Susan Hannah and Gabrielle. Ron was at the other end of the table with Luna and sitting across from Molly were Remus and Tonks.

"Morning everyone!" Harry said cheerfully eliciting responses of the same from all but Ron and Bill, the latter who was looking at him as if he were a puzzle to figure out. "So uh, what's the plan for the day?"

Bill had cleared the job at the Grangers with his boss and received a promotion for being forward thinking. He was now heading up the London team of warders and curse breakers. Fleur and Arthur had both left already for work. Harry pulled out his letter and handed to Bill, before he paused in thought.

"Dobby?" Harry called and the elf popped in next to him.

"Harry sir calls?"

"Yes, um Dobby can you pick up two single red roses and get them to Bill before he leaves?" Dobby nodded and popped away. Bill looked at him even more interestedly as did the rest of the table.

"What?" Harry asked as his face turned red. "I miss them is all, I don't want them to think I forgot about them."

Molly eyed the girls surrounding him suspiciously but held her tongue. "That is very thoughtful of you dear."

Dobby popped in and placed the Roses on the table next to the letter before popping away again. Bill stood and picked up his charge. "Well, I suppose they should be awake by now, and I asked the team to meet me out front at ten. I don't want the Grangers to think they are being attacked when a bunch of wizards and a goblin show up." He said before leaving for the back garden.

"That really is thoughtful of you dear, if the Headmaster was fearful enough of their safety to check on them himself I don't know why he didn't offer to place wards for them." Molly commented unthinkingly as she refilled her tea. Harry said nothing only nodding, but thinking that it was indeed strange.

"Remus I know I asked yesterday, but do you know how to install electricity for this house?" Harry asked trying to change the subject.

The werewolf nodded and smiled. "Cost might be an issue since we have to retrofit the whole place, but using magic we should be able to get it all up and running in a day or so if you will help me out."

Harry nodded, "I would love to learn how to do that, I actually had fun installing the carpet upstairs the Muggle way, so it should be a blast doing magical construction. Oh, and don't worry about cost, it isn't an issue."

"Right then, I'm not doing anything later today so I can go pick up the supplies at the Hardware store. Once we have the place wired I will need to hook us up to the lines outside. That will be a bit of a problem since we can't tell them where the house is." He said with a slight frown.

"Can you piggy back off of the neighbors? And then pay the entire bill?" Susan asked.

"We could do that, but the neighbors might get suspicious." He answered.

Harry thought for a moment. "What about a slight Confundus charm? I don't approve of using magic on Muggles, but really I will be helping them out." Harry asked.

Remus nodded, "It has been done before, but you would need approval from the Ministry."

"I don't think that will be a problem." Susan said with a smile.

Remus laughed at that, "Ah yes, I forget you have friends in high places. Very well Harry, you get me permission and I will knock on the door and perform the charm myself. And I have no problem with the plan since you are going to be paying their entire bill. We can go ahead and put in the wiring in the mean time. Did you have any special requests?"

Harry thought for a moment. "I think I would like to get rid of all the gas lamps but keep the stove. I really want overhead lighting in every room, we can always use no-drip candles for mood lighting." Tonks did a spit-take before she broke down in giggles. "Get your mind out of the gutter Tonks, I meant some members of the 'Old Crowd' would not be comfortable with Muggle lighting, so we can light plenty of candles for Order meetings." She just smiled at nodded at him.

"Since you decided to join the conversation Nym." She threw him a glare before she realized he had shortened her name to something she had never heard. "Do you think you can teach me Apparation?"

She was still lost in thought wondering at the nickname. "Huh? Oh yeah that would be fine, we can practice in the back garden."

Harry smiled brilliantly at her, which got her to smile in return. "Thanks Tonks, that's brilliant!"

"Anything for you Harry." She said with a wink, causing him to blush and the gaggle of girls surrounding him to giggle.

Molly spoke up, "We do have an Order meeting tommorow before dinner so don't take too long on your projects Harry." He looked up at the news.

"Hmmm, nice of Dumbledore to throw a meeting without informing me."

"Oh, well you are allowing him to use the house as Headquarters, I supposed he thought you would be fine with it." Molly said with a small shrug.

"No I mean, he agreed to allow me into the Order if I let him continue using the house." Harry said as Molly glared at him.

"Harry Potter please tell me you did not blackmail the Headmaster of your school?"

"No we simply had a conversation and he realized I am no longer a child. Speaking of which I need to see about Head of House privileges when we get back to school." Susan's eyes lit up.

"Oh, that's right, you get your own set of rooms and can bring your house elves along. I don't think a Head has attended Hogwarts in 50 years or so."

Harry nodded, "Mione actually pointed it out one night." Ron promptly began choking again but he was making enough noise that Harry new he was in no real danger.

"Ronald what did I tell you about eating too fast? Honestly you act like the food is going to disappear!" Molly commented.

Luna patted him on the back and whispered something in his ear; he looked up at Harry and then back to her before nodding. Luna excused them both with a comment about research and they left the room. "It's lovely to see those two together, I was getting worried about Ron." Molly said.

Harry smiled back at her, she was unaware of the situation and Harry decided she was happier for the moment not knowing. "Yes, she actually asked me to help her with her research as well. I am just too busy until later at night."

Tonks promptly snorted tea through her nose and began banging her hand against her forehead. Before looking at him in awe. "Quick mover aren't you Potter?" She asked and surprising himself he didn't blush as he nodded, though he noted that both Hannah and Susan were blushing madly.

"Who am I to refuse help to a friend?" She shrugged. "Well ladies, we have work to do and Hannah I know you have to head home, I had fun last night, I look forward to you visiting again soon.

Hannah nodded shyly as she got up, trailing her fingers across his back out of view of the rest of the room as she walked around the table the long way, Susan followed quickly into the kitchen. Harry tried to repress the pleasant shiver that ran down his spine as he turned to Gabrielle. "What do you do all day?"

She smiled at him, "I help the elves to run ze house, it is," She looked at the table and back to him. "It is fun, do no worry about me Harry, I am perfectly happy until you are needing me later." With a grin she got up and kissed him on the cheek quickly before flouncing out of the room, earning yet another glare from Molly, and a giggle from Tonks at the sudden look on his face before he quickly schooled his features.

"Right then, uh, Tonks when do you need to be to work?" He asked.

"Well I am sure if I asked my old boss she would assign me to, er, protect you 24/7." She said with smiling eyes. Harry gulped and decided to up the ante. He closed his eyes for a fraction of a second and brought forth the memory from last night out of his Patronus stash, and willed the power of it through his eyes.

He looked back into hers and said, "I wouldn't want to abuse my relationship with the new Minister." But her reaction of blushing and squirming a bit in her seat told him she got the real message. She stood quickly and kissed Remus a little too hard on the lips before she ran away and he heard a crack from the garden.

Remus looked at Harry and grinned, "I don't know what you did Cub, but I get the impression that you and Sirius are the only two that have been able to get her to blush. Congratulations on whatever prank you just pulled. Well, I will see you all later, I have some supplies to pick up, Harry shall I use my funds for now and simply have you repay me?" He asked.

Harry pulled out his draftbook and once again signed it leaving the amount blank. "Just in case you need more, though I do hope there isn't 100,000 Galleons going into this project."

Remus stared at the blank draft in his hands, realizing he was holding two billion Galleons. "Uh, Harry I do not need this, my funds will more than cover the costs, and you should really be more careful with a blank draft like this." He said shaking slightly as he pulled his wand and sent it up in a puff of smoke.

Harry shrugged, "If I cannot trust my parents oldest friend who can I trust?" He asked earning him a sincere smile from both Molly and Remus.

"Thank you for your trust Cub, but really, ask for an amount next time alright?" Harry nodded and Remus turned and disappeared with a loud pop.

"You know it's interesting how people sound different when they Apparate, I wonder if there has been any study applied to the subject." He asked as Susan walked back in.

"Actually I tried looking that up my first year, as far as the Hogwarts library goes, there have been studies conducted by the Unspeakables but no results were ever published." She said sitting back down and starting on her meal once more. Harry joined her having forgotten the bacon and eggs on the table, though he had been idly sipping on his power smoothie.

"Well," he said pushing back after he finished eating. "I have some self-study to do, and Susan I think you might want to work on your Occlumency." Her eyes lit up. "Yes I will get you started, but you know our agreement. I have my own things to work on during the day." She nodded but didn't lose her silly grin. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Down girl." And her grin only got bigger

He laughed as he left the room and headed back upstairs.

*************************SFTP************************

Emma Granger woke up that morning and made her and her husband coffee but let him sleep in. Having Hermione home for the last few days had been nice, seeing her and Ginny playing in the pool and renting endless amounts of movies to watch while eating popcorn and drinking diet soda.

Ginny seemed addicted to soda, but Hermione had at least gotten her onto that so her figure would remain intact. And the Grangers had supplied her with a toothbrush, which thankfully the girl recognized, as well as mouthwash and floss, which she unfortunately did not. They had idly wondered if there was a magical equivalent to dentistry, but guessed that if there had been Hermione would have told them all about it.

As she carried two cups of coffee back up the stairs she stopped at the door to Hermione's room, which was slightly ajar, she pushed it open slightly and saw Hermione wrapped around the little redhead and caught her breath. That was a lover's embrace if she had ever seen one. Emma smiled slightly as she remembered her best friend in college, and was simply happy for her daughter. Though she chose to keep the information from Dan for as long as possible. She pulled the door closed quietly and went to wake her husband.

*************************SFTP************************

Hermione awoke, as was normal for the last few days, tangled up with Ginny in her bed. They had both thought nothing of leaving Harry for a few weeks until the first night. Ginny had broken down crying and Hermione wanted to join her, but decided she would be the rock that Ginny needed to cling to.

"How could I leave him? How could he let us go?" She cried on Hermione's shoulder. "God I love him, this can't be natural can it?" She asked as sobs quietly rocked her body.

"Of course it can, do you want the logical argument or the emotional one?" Hermione said quietly, she had tears running down her face as well, but her voice remained calm.

"Both?" Ginny asked.

Nodding the older girl began, "Logically, there is a physical need that can develop during the early stages of a relationship. We are both in fact going through withdrawals much as one would if addicted to a drug." Ginny looked up at her confused.

"You mean I am addicted to Harry?" She asked quietly.

Hermione smiled down at her and hugged her tight. "We both are Gin, I am just handling the symptoms better than you.

"Does that mean I don't really love him? I just need him like, caffeine in the morning or something?"

The brunette shook her head. "Maybe a little bit, but that's where the emotional argument comes in."

Ginny just looked at her strangely with tears still flowing, Hermione sighed, "The fact is we love him, truly and deeply. I can feel the empty spot inside me where he is supposed to be." She said quietly and Ginny began crying again at once as she nodded in agreement.

"How could we leave him? Do you think he is as bad off as we are?" She asked.

"He doesn't realize he loves us yet, though I don't doubt that he does. So it won't be quite so bad. Plus we left him with Susan and Gabrielle to take his mind off of the pain." Hermione answered quietly with a smile.

"That isn't fair!" Ginny bawled out. "I'm… not jealous," She said trying to concentrate on her emotions, "I'm… I just miss him so much. How am I going to cope with the school year?"

"It will be different when we can see him every day. Right now it's just a shock to our system, like quitting cold turkey." She mused.

Ginny nodded again. "I just don't understand the way I feel right now. I want him all to myself, but I want to share you with him because I love you too." Hermione dipped her head and kissed the girl who returned it with passion for half a minute before she needed to breath and pulled back smiling at her. "Thanks, I needed that."

Hermione nodded with a smile, "Me too."

"So you and I are going to share him, I am perfectly fine with that. And then there is Gabrielle who feels almost like a sister, except extremely sexy. I wouldn't mind sharing Harry her with either. Or vice versa." Ginny pointed out.

Hermione nodded, "I don't think we can get rid of her anyway, there are things that are said to happen to Veela who get refused by their bond-made. Lucky for us we like her… a lot!" That caused Ginny to giggle and some of her tears to dry up.

"But now there is Susan and we aren't there, I wish I was, but I don't wish he wouldn't do anything with her. I just hope he chooses to stay with us when he learns to love…" She trailed off in thought.

"He will Gin, I think even he knows that. We just might pick up a Harem along the way. Do you have a problem sharing that much of him?" Hermione asked trying to answer that question for herself as well.

"I don't think so, as long as I know he loves me, and I get to watch!" She giggled again and they settled down to sleep.

Each night since then had ended up the same. Ginny crying, bringing all of Hermione's repressed emotions to the surface. Followed by consoling each other and making love as quietly as possible.

This morning she looked down and smiled as Ginny's eyes popped open and she looked around sleepily. "Morning." She said as she stretched revealing her breasts to Hermione as the blanket slipped off.

"Morning did you sleep well?" Hermione asked as she slid out of bed and gathered her supposed sleep clothes for breakfast.

Ginny joined her doing the same, "I did thanks to a certain bushy-haired witch." She grinned.

"Should I be jealous then?" Hermione asked smiling at their usual morning joke.

"You better, she's dead sexy, unless you want to watch?" They both looked at the large mirror on top of the chest of drawers facing the bed, and grinned at each other. They had decided that Harry's room definitely needed wall to ceiling mirrors.

They headed quietly down to the kitchen where Hermione began making toast, eggs, and bacon as normal. Ginny poured them both glasses of Orange Pineapple juice as they sat down to eat. Her parents soon joined them thanking their daughter profusely for making enough to include them.

They talked about nothing for a while, Hermione lazily summoned the butter from the fridge and her parents grinned like toddlers at a magic show. "That never gets old." Dan said with a smile.

They were interrupted by a knock on the door and Hermione and Ginny pulled their wands out of habit, before deciding a death eater would not be knocking. Emma opened the door to find Bill Weasley standing there.

"Billy!" Ginny screamed as she tackled him in a hug. "Why does it feel like forever??

He grinned down at her, "Because there is a certain green-eyed wizard you can't stop thinking about?" He asked with a raised eyebrow causing her to blush. Dan smiled knowing that his daughter was safe from at least one threat; Emma on the other hand smiled deliciously, deciding she really needed to have a talk with her daughter.

"Anyway," Bill continued as he released her, "I'm not really here on a social call, that's just a bonus." He said winking at her. "Harry was worried for your safety after the Headmaster looked in on you himself, and sent the best at Gringotts to ward your property, I have been authorized to offer you the entire line-up including the Fidelus if you consent." He said looking at Dan, who just looked back confused.

Hermione cleared her throat and Bill smiled as he handed her the list of available Wards. Her eyes went wide at the prices listed next to them all. "Bill we can't afford all of this!" She exclaimed.

He shook his head, "Trust me Harry can, I just found out, and apparently so did he, that he is the richest Wizard anyone has ever heard of." Ginny raised an eyebrow.

"Just how much are we talking here?" She asked. "It doesn't matter, but I know Hermione won't let him protect her like this unless she knows he isn't bankrupting himself." Hermione blushed but nodded. Confusing Dan once again, he thought Harry was with Ginny.

"Well, I don't think he would mind you knowing, just over four billion galleons if he is to be believed, which I do." Hermione sat down hard as did Ginny. Dan looked confused until Bill turned to him, "That's about twenty billion pounds sterling." Dan's eyebrows shot into his bushy hair and Emma looked back and forth between the girls.

"Oh, well then… um, we will take the lot please?" Hermione said quietly and Bill nodded.

"Not that you don't understand better than they do but best to explain the Fidelus to them just in case." Bill said grinning at her reaction.

Hermione turned to her parents, "The Fidelus Charm is used to completely hide an object or building from everyone. If you knew of the place before you can no longer remember it, if you don't know the secret you cannot even see it as you walk by, and even if you do know the secret, only the secret keeper may reveal it to another person. For all intents and purposes this house will disappear except to those I tell of its existence." Dan still looked confused but Emma understood.

"So we won't be able to have house guests?"

"No mum, but I think that is a small price to pay for protection don't you? This way you can still live here and go to work, but I won't have to worry over your safety."

Dan thought about it for a moment. "This is important to you Honey?" he asked and she nodded. "Alright then, er, thank you." He rose and shook the redheads hand even as he eyed the strange fang that had to be fake dangling from his ear.

"Oh I almost forgot." Bill said pulling a letter and two beautiful red roses from his dragon hide jacket.

"How did you do that without crushing the flowers?" Emma asked off handedly.

Bill grinned at her and winked. "Magic." And he turned around and walked back out.

Hermione opened the letter and sat next to Ginny so they could read at the same time.

My Gin and My Mione,

Is there something wrong with me? I have Gabrielle and Susan to keep me company and I can tell you Hannah happened to come over last night to stay with Susan. It was a lot of fun. But as much as I like Susan, and as much, er, fun as Gabrielle is why do I feel like a part of me is missing?

I sent this along with Bill because I couldn't think of a faster way to get in contact with you, by the way Hedwig has turned her back on me even though I tried to explain it to her. So I sent her your way telling her I expected a reply.

Bill will be warding your property this morning; none of the wards should be too intrusive unless you decide to go ahead with the Fidelus. I think it would be smart for Hermione to be the Secret Keeper that way her parent's can't accidentally tell anyone. But that means they won't be able to socialize at all. A small price to pay for protection as far as I am concerned.

Hedwig should be along shortly I hope you will tell her your secret as well so I can continue to send you letters. It's funny how I am itching to write to you two, when you could hardly bother me to write a few lines last summer.

Oh yeah, please don't forget about your summer project, Remus does in fact know how to wire this place, but I don't want to pay for the electric forever if I don't have to. If you can figure out how to get here, remember you have an entire library at your disposal. If not I suppose it's only a month until we are back together at school.

Anyways, I hope your parents appreciate the offer, and I hope I learn to Apparate soon so I can come see you.

L--- Y--s I L---

With Love?

Harry

Both girls had tears in their eyes after the point where he described the empty spot inside. "Us too Harry, Us too." Hermione whispered to the parchment and Ginny nodded alongside her.

*************************SFTP************************

Susan and Gabrielle had sat Harry on the end of the bed and forced him to stay there as they slowly stripped out of their clothes. Harry had questioned Gabrielle as to her need to be nude and she had commented back that she was "Ze sexual creature." And she spent her time having fun with herself when he was unavailable as well as helping out the house elves. She had quickly shushed him when he tried to question her further by sitting in his lap and kissing him before turning to watch Susan finish removing her clothing with a blush extending down to her knees.

Harry had given up and enjoyed the show.

He helped her into a trance, which took forever with her constant blushes, but eventually she calmed enough to meditate. He told Gabrielle to simply leave her there until she awoke on her own. Susan had read the first few chapters of the book so she knew how to begin organizing her mind.

Walking back into the training room Harry called Dobby to set it into Duel mode once more, clearing the entire area for him to work. He started off casting all of the common charms, hexes and curses he could think of to warm up. He noted the increased power once again as a chair detached itself from the wall during a Summoning charm and nearly skewered him. Only a hasty dive to the side had saved him. He followed that up with a 'Repairo' that he could swear left the chair looking better than new.

Deciding this could get dangerous he began with the simplest spell he knew. Lumos He whispered and the tip of his wand lit up the entire room nearly blinding him. Remembering the attack in Little Whinging where he dropped his wand running from the Dementors. He recalled frantically calling out Lumos while searching for his wand in the dark tunnel. So he placed his wand on the floor and walked away. He quietly said the incantation and nothing happened so he stepped closer and tried again. He felt the tingle of magic leave him, which was decidedly an odd feeling. And the tip of his wand glowed dimly.

He decided to try a different tactic and picked his wand up again and concentrated on that feeling as he thought the incantation and what he wanted his intended result to be. The tip lit up with a normal glow and he breathed a sigh of relief. Quickly he walked into his room, as Susan was nude in the Ladies room, and grabbed a pillow off the bed.

Walking back into the training room he placed the pillow against the far wall and walked the length of the room. He turned and envisioned the pillow flying to him and thought the incantation. Nothing happened.

Frowning he sat down and centered himself. He examined the memory of the successfully cast 'Lumos' and sorted into a new Training category, which he would sort further at a later date. He decided the difference was that tingle of magic he was able to recreate.

Waking up he placed his wand on the ground and looking at the pillow, Accio'd the pillow once more. It slid halfway across the room before stopping and he concentrated on the feeling of magic leaving him.

Standing up he picked up his wand and repeated his earlier test, summoning the pillow to him quickly with no incantation aloud. He smiled as he wiped the sweat off his brow. And lay down on the pillow in the middle of the room staring at the ceiling.

Apparently, with just a little trial and error, he should be able to perform every spell he knew silently. And even if separated from his wand, he could cast weak spells. That could be very useful. He let his mind wander for a minute as he let his body and his magic cool off a bit enjoying the cooler air near the floor. 'I really need to get air conditioning once we have Power.' Harry thought to himself.

"Dobby?" He called out.

With a pop the elf appeared, "Yous call for Dobby Mister Harry sir?"

Harry rolled his eyes but grinned in spite of himself. "Yes Dobby, can you find wherever you put my schoolbooks and bring me the 'Standard Book of Spells: Grade One' Please? Oh, and do you know any air circulation charms? The air in the basement has to be cooler than the air up here, it would be nice if we could get a draft circulating somehow."

Dobby nodded and looked around for a moment; he snapped his fingers and Harry felt a draft slowly start up from the stairs. "That be the best I can do for now Harry sir, maybe a cooling charm on the ceilings would help?"

Harry nodded, cold air sinks, he remembered that much from his life before Hogwarts. He filed away that tidbit as well; the wizarding world was really clueless when it came to science, almost laughing at it as Muggle nonsense. Harry thought they needed to change that, maybe with Hermione's power charm they could drag the whole magical world into the 19'th century or so.

Dobby snapped his fingers then clapped his hands and Harry felt a much colder and stronger draft hit him, he sighed loudly in contentment. "Wow what a difference, what exactly did you do Dobby?" Harry asked.

"Dobby cools the ceiling and adds another air moving charm just in this room to push the cooler air down and move the hot airs back up to the ceilings." Dobby stated proudly.

"That is wonderful Dobby, is there anything I can do to thank you?" Dobby looked almost hurt at the accusation.

"No Harry Potter sir, me and Winky lives to serve." And he popped away before Harry could ask for more information. It was funny that Gabrielle had used that same phrase.

Feeling much better he stood, Dobby popped back in quickly setting the book down beside him before popping back out. He picked it up and began methodically casting with his wand on the ground, followed by casting silently. Each spell they had learned in first year.

Finally exhausted after half the book in a little over two hours Harry asked Dobby for an iced version of his power shake. He thanked the elf as he walked back into his room absolutely loving the cooler air.

Since he had halted his own training for now he decided to check up on the girls. He walked silently through the passageway and quietly opened the door to the other room.

Gabrielle was lying on the bed playing with herself. Harry watched in awe as her fingers made perfect circles around her perfect little clit. He couldn't think of any other way to describe what he was watching. Her other hand was playing with her nipples which he noted, were both extremely stiff. As she came she moaned aloud instantly stiffening his cock the rest of the way.

She opened her eyes and looked directly at him with a huge smile. "Ello Master, I hope you 'ave enjoyed your self?" He nodded dumbly. Then his eyes landed on a nude Susan sitting in the middle of the floor, with diamond hard nipples standing proudly out from her chest and his erection began aching even as his mouth watered.

"Uh, Susan?" He called quietly hoping to bring her gently from her trance. She slowly opened her eyes and met his before shivering.

"Who turned on the air?" She asked as she absentmindedly rubbed and tugged at her nipples.

"I did, or rather Dobby did." He said just as dumbly.

"A bit nipply in here isn't it?" She asked him with a grin and he just nodded.

"Did you have anything specific or did you just want to observe your handy work?" She asked as her eyes glanced down and back up to him. His followed but got stuck once again on her breasts.

"Uh… I forgot, wait! Lunch, I wanted to see if you wanted lunch?" He asked.

"That sounds wonderful." She nodded as she stood up and stretched.

"Uh, okay then, I'll just wait in the other room." He said quietly, exiting to the sounds of giggling coming from the bed.

*************************SFTP************************

At dinner that night Harry found out that, despite his request, Tonks had been assigned to him as protection, incidentally protecting Susan as well. Apparently Rufus Scrimgeour the new Head of the DMLE was all for having 'the Potter boy' on the side of the Ministry. This meant she was free to teach both of them Apparation though Susan was only allowed to use it during practice and in emergencies. She had also mentioned his request for a compulsion charm while she was on a role and quickly had a signed permission from Scrimgeour allowing the charming of Muggles with no intent to cause harm.

Remus had gathered the needed supplies and said they should be able to get the job done tomorrow between the two of them. The light fixtures would take a little longer to install as the placement was paramount but they should be done by dinner the next night. Harry was ecstatic and couldn't wait to have his own Telly and some 'real' music. Maybe then they could have a proper get together, and maybe he could get Mione and Gin back for the night.

After dinner the group headed upstairs, and to Harry's surprise the group included Luna and Ron. As they sat down he stayed very quiet but didn't comment when Gabrielle sat down in Harry's lap. They played some exploding snap but over all it was rather uncomfortable with him there and before long he excused himself for the night with a look at Luna who just waved and told him to "sleep well."

As soon as he was gone and Harry had cast his most powerful intrusion detection and aversion wards on both staircases he sat back down and breathed a sigh of relief. "I want to be friends with him, but even without opening his mouth he was still a prat." Harry commented.

Gabrielle sat down in his lap again and sighed in contentment. "Will you pet me Master?" She asked which surprised him. So he began slowly running his hands through her silky soft hair and she sighed once again and smiling, burrowed in to his shoulder.

Harry had just taken a sip of juice when Luna spoke up. "Can we practice capturing Gimlets tonight Harry?" Prompting him to choke slightly as he looked at the other girls.

"Yes Harry, shall we practice?" Susan asked him smiling.

"Uh, I suppose Luna, I thought you were practicing with Ron?" He asked her awkwardly.

"Oh yes, but you said we could arrange to practice as well, I need a thorough cross section of test subjects. Besides, I think I might enjoy practicing with you more." She said with a smile.

"Um, okay but uh, I don't think I can just lay down and, er, practice that. What say we head to the Hot Tub?"

Gabrielle jumped from his lap and grabbed Luna's hand dragging her toward the bedroom. Harry looked to Susan for help but she just giggled at him as she too headed in the direction of his room. He got up and slowly made his way as well. He found the room empty except for piles of female clothing and he shivered a bit in dread and anticipation. This was Luna, his friend Luna, his decidedly 'out there' friend Luna. He felt like he was taking advantage of her.

Disrobing he made his way into the bathroom where the magical taps had already finished filling the tub with soapy water and the girls were already sighing with the jets massaging them. "Ah, hello Harry, has anyone told you that your penis is quite large?" Luna asked causing him to blush and the other girls to giggle at him.

"Um, no Luna… none of the others have said anything like that." He answered as he lowered himself into the tub hiding his apparently rather large erection.

"Oh, well I do not know first hand but statistics show that the average human penis is 6.5 inches, Ronald is about that average size, yours Harry must beat that by a good three inches?" He nodded dumbly, funny enough he had lost his erection by this point and just listened to the naked blonde prattle on as her breasts bounced along to the current.

"The funny thing is men seem so obsessed by penis size when the average human vagina is only 4 inches long even when sexually excited, but amazingly it can grow gradually to fit nearly anything, I mean think of how large a babies head is?" That did it, Luna the erection killer had struck and suddenly he pulled Gabrielle onto his lap hoping to revive his flagging member.

"Not that there is anything wrong with your large member Harry, I would very much like to attempt to fit you inside my Vagina." His erection stirred.

"Um, maybe eventually Luna, but I am against just properly shagging anyone, especially a virgin. That is something precious and until at least you are in love you shouldn't feel obligated to any man." Harry said as his hands began playing with Gabrielle's breasts, causing his erection to grow slightly once more.

"Oh, but why? I am fairly certain I lost my hymen quite some time ago." She asked him staring just above his left ear, giving him the urge to look over his shoulder.

"Uh, what?" He asked intelligently.

"Well I don't think my hymen would have survived encounters with carrots, cucumbers, and my wand for starts, but it is possible. Would you check for me later?" She asked as she stood up and slowly walked to ward him. His erection responded to the sight involuntarily.

"Um, I suppose, I don't exactly know what to look for really, just how it feels?" He asked as she got even closer and Gabrielle slid off his lap. He gave her a betrayed look, which she simply smiled at.

Luna stood so that the "V" of her mound was in perfect alignment with his eyes and then threw her leg up on the side of the bathtub pulling open her folds and exposing them fully to his eyes. She reached down and pulled them even further apart, opening her entrance so that he could see that she was indeed, not a virgin in the technical sense. "Do you see anything Harry?" She asked.

Well he no doubt saw something as his erection was now at full attention and his mouth watering. "Um, well you don't appear to be, um, intact?" He asked feeling rather stupid.

Her tone changed suddenly and her eyes focused on him. "Harry I know I am not exactly normal most of the time, but that doesn't mean I am not thinking clearly. I do see things in the world that other's do not. My daddy thinks it might be a form of the 'Sight' but I don't really care. My mother died when I was nine and they have been my friends since then. Daddy writes about them in the Quibbler, and some of them have actually come into reality so I know I am not crazy."

She leaned in and kissed him in his confusion and when he opened his eyes she was sitting on his lap with his cock wrapped in her fingers. "Gimlets are just an excuse I gave daddy when he found me playing with the neighbor boy one day when I was ten. They don't really exist. However I would still like to practice with you if you don't mind?" She asked as she began to stroke him.

"You mean half of the stuff you say is just an act?" He asked incredulously, though the last few words came out a bit slurred as her hand continued its motion beneath the water.

"Well, I think my sight is more like an infinite probability thing. It is rather annoying to see a creature floating over someone's shoulder that may or may not come into existence some day, and not know if it is actually there." She pressed her breasts against his chest and kissed him again dazing him in the process.

"What about Ron's Gimlets?"

She sighed but did not let up with her hand. "I had a crush on Ron for longer than Ginny had a crush on you. I let him use me, just so I could touch him, but it wasn't very much fun." She said getting a bit dreamy again.

"Um, So… you… Luna can you stop that until we finish this conversation?" He asked in one breath.

"I would rather finish this first, then the conversation." She whispered in his ear as his hands came up to her rear and began running up and down her slick thighs. He nodded and sat back simply enjoying what she was doing to him. Suddenly she dove into the water and pulled him into her mouth as she continued pumping. He tried to force his orgasm faster so that she wouldn't come up for air, and finally he filled her mouth with spurt after spurt of cum, as far as he could tell she did not miss a drop and she resurfaced kissing him immediately. She still had most of it in her mouth and was forcing him to kiss her through it. Luckily he didn't mind the taste and found it an extreme turn on, their tongues battled around each other becoming wrapped in ropes of his spunk before he swallowed and pulled back for air.

"Holy crap Luna!" He exclaimed and she just shrugged.

Susan saw him licking his lips and gasped. "Luna you didn't just snowball him did you?" The girl just smiled. "God that was Hot!"

Harry turned his eyes on Susan and Gabrielle, "It was, but I do not enjoy being surprised like that, and none of you will be doing that to me, if I want to taste my own it will be mixed with yours. Understood?" Susan nearly fainted at the implication; Gabrielle just nodded with a huge grin.

"I really like you Harry, you saw me when I was invisible, and you made me your friend. You never complained about my abnormality even though I could tell you were uncomfortable sometimes. I would like you to be the first penis I have inside of me, and possibly the last if your Harem will agree."

"Harem? I don't want a harem Luna, I just want to find love." He said still reeling from the events of the past few minutes.

"Nonetheless you already have one. Ginny, Hermione, Susan, Gabrielle, if my observations were correct it currently includes Hannah on a trial basis and I am fairly certain Tonks wants to apply for membership privileges if not full membership." Harry just stared at her as she had sat back down on her lap running his half erect cock up and down her slit.

"Tonks is with Remus." He said, not even denying the mutual attraction.

"Things might change or not, that doesn't mean she doesn't think about joining." Luna said shrugging, which he always enjoyed naked women doing. "In any case, do you understand that you have a Harem now Harry?" He nodded stupidly, not really understanding.

"Perhaps Harem is not the correct word Harry, but the sentiment is the same. We all love you in some way, and so far, we are all willing to share just to get a piece of you." Susan said smiling at him.

"I don't understand, why is everyone suddenly in love with me?" He asked getting more confused by the second, especially with his now re-hardening member pressed up against Luna's slit.

Susan slid over to his other side and Gabrielle slit closer. "Because we do, because you are you. There really isn't any explanation Harry. We just do." Gabrielle just looked on with a smile.

"You know you are absolutely no help right Pet?" He asked her.

"On ze contrary Master, I know your heart wants zis even zo your mind says no. So I am being very helpful, Non?" She grinned.

"Non!" He said half-heartedly but with the beginnings of a smile. "And what am I to do dating those who do not want to be in my Harem?" He asked them.

Susan kissed him on the cheek. "Hermione and Ginny told us they were going to back off as far as they can when that happens. I will too, I want you to be happy and in love, even if you are not in love with me. It would not be fair to ask you to stay with us when you don't love us."

"But I will, I will be perfectly happy not to be in love." He exclaimed.

"What about the reason you started this? Mione and Gin didn't tell us anything except that you needed to learn how to love. Do you love any of us?" Susan asked.

He shook his head, "I don't know, this is so unfair to all of you. I need to learn to love its true, but I can't leave every woman I meet broken up because I can't return the feeling. I don't even know what the feeling feels like." A tear made it's way down his cheek.

Luna wiped it away. "You will learn and you will be stronger for it. Even if you fall in love with one single witch, two or three of us, or all of us, we will all be behind you when you face your fate." He looked at her.

"Is that a prophecy? I hate those things."

"No I don't do prophecies, I do probabilities, and this one is strong." She said surprising all of them.

"Alright, how about I forget about that for now and just try to love each of you, deal?" Luna nodded with a huge grin.

"It's my night tonight Harry, will you hold me?" He nodded and kissed her once more causing her to rock against his erection. He growled.

He rose from the tub and offered his hand to Luna who rose before stepping out. He kissed both Susan and Gabrielle and got out himself toweling off. "Good night Ladies, I trust you can find your way back to the Ladies Chambers?" He asked and they nodded.

He and Luna left and crawled into the bed where she lay on his shoulder and looked up at him. "This is really nice Harry, but I am afraid I am not going to remain this lucid all the time. It almost hurts to concentrate this much to block everything out."

He kissed her before speaking. "It' okay Luna, I always thought you were 'out there' not crazy. Now I know the truth and if I never judged you before, I can easily wait for you to come back to me now." He smiled and she kissed him rather thoroughly.

"I'm not crazy Harry, I just see the world differently than the rest of the World." She snuggled into his shoulder. "Will you touch me before I go to sleep?" She asked placing his hand between her legs as she rolled onto her back.

He nodded and slowly he played with her clit eliciting nice moans from her. He kissed her passionately, alternating between light and deep but almost never breaking apart except for quick breaths. She came quietly two or three times before she whined. "Inside me please Harry? I was not joking about using other objects but I have never had someone do it for me. Please?" She begged and he conceded.

His fingers slowly found their way inside and up to what he now knew was called her G-spot, which he began to apply alternating pressure to. She gasped and recaptured his lips breathing heavily through her nose until she came a final time and lay down into his shoulder with a smile. "Thank you Harry." She whispered into his lips as she began to drift off.

"No Luna, that was amazing thank you for letting me watch and be a part of that." She smiled and was asleep. He pulled the covers over them and fell asleep with a new witch in his arms. Wrapped protectively around her. If it was the world versus Luna, he decided he was her protector. That meant dealing with Ron if he continued to try taking advantage of her.
