"Mel'Anin it is time to leave for the scared grove. " Ar'Ron said to his soul mate as he walked into Harry's study.
Harry looked up from the notes he was organizing. " What time is it? "
"Half past eleven. ' Ar'Ron answered
Harry put his pen down, as much as the Wizarding world loved the archaic quills could not hold a candle to a good muggle pen. Looking up he noticed the naked form of his soul mate.
Letting his eyes slowly take in the splendid form of his soul mate, Harry rose from behind his desk and slowly took his clothes off letting them drop where he stood.
Harry walked around his desk his erect penis leading the way. Upon reaching Ar'Ron he pulled him in to a hug and a passionate kiss.
"Mel'Anin, we need to enter the sacred grove without glamour. " Ar'Ron told him as he dropped the last remnants of glamour letting his magical crown show.
Harry looked at the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. Ar'Ron stood there glowing in splendor the magical power was rolling off of him in waves of visible light.
"Your glowing. " Harry commented as he pressed his chest against Ar'Ron's leaning in for another kiss.
"Releasing Harry's lips from his. " so are you Mel'Anin. "
Holding Harry's hand Ar'Ron led him out of the study and down the corridor towards the steps to the second floor. Soon they arrived at the passage to the garden domes, with the scared grove being in the center tropical dome.
"Mel'Anin we will pass many Elves along the way into the grove. Pay them no attention, as they are here to celebrate our union. We shall be alone though inside the grove. " Ar'Ron explained to Harry as they walked down the jungle covered tunnel.
They walked hand in hand erect penis's leading the way into the jungle tunnels and towards the center done where the sacred grove resided in the middle.
Entering the center dome the couple passed groups of Elves, that out of respect for the ceremony also were naked.
Harry thought to himself how much he had changed. Here he was walking hand in hand with his lover, both highly aroused and naked as the day he was born, in front of all these unknown Elves, and yet he was not the slightest bit embarrassed.
It was five minutes to midnight when they entered the glade. Walking to the center they knelt down in front of each other.
"Mel'Anin, in a few minutes it will be midnight and you will come into your magical inheritance. If you were not in this sacred place the pain could drive you insane. " Ar'Ron told him softly
Harry was a little scared now. " How bad will it be? " He asked
"With you in the grove you will feel no pain, you might black out for a few seconds, but I will be here to catch you if you do. ' Ar'Ron told him looking deep into Harry's eyes to see the relief there.
At one minute until midnight a crystal goblet appeared hovering between the two.
"Take it Mel'Anin, take it and drink slowly. " Ar'Ron said with a smile
As Harry took the goblet, he looked at the contents swirling inside the goblet. It was giving off a soft glow, the liquid was clear yet at the same time it was all the colors in the rainbow.
"Drink love, this is the very essence of magic, it will help. " Ar'Ron told him
Harry started to slowly drink down the contents. As he drank they liquid left a tingly feeling everywhere it touched.
Harry finished the last of the liquid just as it turned midnight.
Harry looked around the grove as he felt magic swirling in a joyous symphony. It was welcoming him, he watched as it danced around the glade and moved closer to him. It seems to hesitate right next to him, almost questioning if this is what he really wanted.
"Oh yes please. " Harry whispered the answer to the unspoken question.
The magic glowed brighter as it now danced closer to him and then one after another as the magic moved close to Harry it flew into him merging with his own magic.
For a solid hour the magic of the grove danced around Harry, merging with his own magic.
Swaying Harry looked over at his soul mate you was less than a foot from him. " That was amazing, I feel so different now, so many things have changed. "
Smiling at the glowing form of his mate Ar'Ron said. " Harry Potter other half of my soul I would bond with thee. "
Harry whispered with lust in his voice. " Oh yes, now and forever. "
Then in a louder voice Harry said. " Ar'Ron I would bond to you, you are the other half of my soul and you complete me. "
Ar'Ron leaned forward and with a passionate kiss pulled Harry to the side so they were both laying on the ground side by side. His hands roaming down Harry's body he let his finger enter Harry preparing him to be entered for the first time.
They both made love to each other for the next four hours. Each depositing their seed several times in the other
Laying there with Harry in his arms his penis still inside the sleeping Harry from their last bout of love making Ar'Ron drifted off into sleep whispering. " My soul is now complete, finally I am whole. "
No one was around to hear the whispered statement Ar'Ron had just uttered, except magic itself. And hearing what was said it acted and a glowing crown of magic appeared on the head of Harry James Potter Prince consort to the King.
Ron came panting over to the table set up with cold water ad juice and set down his practice sword. Falling into a chair he tried to catch his breath as he watched Harry continue practicing his forms.
"You do this every morning for two bloody hours. Are you insane. " Ron huffed out
Harry laughed before answering. " Don't worry Ron you will soon start to get in shape and begun to enjoy the workouts. "
"Not bloody likely. " Muttered Ron
Laughing Harry walked over to the table and placed his sword down next to Ron's and grabbed some chilled juice.
Getting a serious look on his face. " Listen Ron we need to talk. "
Seeing the look on Harry's face Ron starting to get a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach.
"Something wrong Harry? " Asked Ron
"Wrong? " Then seeing the worried look on Ron's face Harry said. "No I need to explain a few things about you taking the oath later this morning. "
"Whew, for a minute there you had me worried. " Ron told him
"Ar'Ron will be inscribing the runic cluster on your forehead before you give your oath. "Harry continued on a little more nervously. " The thing is Elven ritual magic, which this is by the way, is extremely sensual when preformed on Wizards. "
"Ellisia will be inscribing Ginny's cluster and hearing her oath in a separate room. " Harry said staring off across the lawn.
Ron at this point was as red as his hair. " That's good, don't know if I could take being in the same room as her under those conditions. "
Harry turned and looked his best friend in the eye. " You will get aroused to such a point the only thing your body can think of his to wank off as fast as you can once you receive the runic cluster. Then at the moment your oath is accepted by the magic you will have an intense orgasm, or as the muggles like to say cream your shorts. "
Seeing the embarrassed horrified look on Ron' face Harry chuckled to himself. " I want you to remember to wear your loosest robes and clothes. You will also want to bring a change of clothes with you so you can change and clean up afterwards. "
Still embarrassed and in a quiet voice Ron replied. " Thanks for the warning mate. "
Changing the subject Ron asked. "Where's Ar'Ron this morning? "
Smiling Harry replied. " He and Ellisia are in the infirmary, seems Holly decided to have her babies this morning and he wanted to be on hand to strengthen her magic if something started to go wrong. "
Ron was thoughtful. " In a way this is a big occasion, think of it the first free born Impare' in thousands of years. Not to get you angry or anything, but this is what Hermoine should have been working for instead of freeing all house elves. "
"How someone who runs to the library to research the slightest thing is so blinded when it comes to something really important is beyond me. " Harry replied
"Any way I need to get going, I have to clean up and Lord Black needs to meet the Tonks family in an hour. I will see you in two hours to witness your oath. " Harry said standing up and picking up his sword.
"I am going to sit here for another few minutes to catch my breath. " Seeing Harry start to jog towards the castle he yelled out. " Bloody hell Harry you make me tired just watching you. "
He got laughter as a response as he watched Harry continue to jog.
After a quick shower Harry walked through the portal towards the family side of the castle. Taking a couple of short cuts through hidden passageways he ended up outside the infirmary.
Entering he was in time to hear Ellisia tell Ar'Ron and Holly that she had given birth to three strong babies.
"Majesty the essence of magic worked on breaking the enchantments, the babes are now free born Impare', two sons and one Daughter, Holly. "Ellisia told the house elf.
Harry looked into the basinet that held the three newborns. Turning to Holly. " Their beautiful, the first free born Impare' in thousands of years. You should be proud, through you the race of Impare' is reborn now have three newborn members. "
Holly was tired, she was happy that her kiddies were going to live. She looked over towards the basket where her kiddies lay after being given a drink of the essence. She herself had taken a small sip in between each of the kiddies coming out.
Looking up she saw the glowing figure of on of the true ones walk in and look at her kiddies. She was happier than she could ever remember being when she heard the glowing one tell her to be proud of her beautiful kiddies.
At that point she dropped off into a deep healing sleep with a huge smile on her face.
Harry was a little bit concerned when holly looked like she passed out. " Is she going to be all right. " He asked
Ellisia had just finished a quick scan on Holly and replied. " She is exhausted, but should be fine in a few hours. The link is still strong so she is in no danger from that quarter. "
Taking a damp washcloth Ar'Ron wiped Holly's sweaty face. " I have a potion to finish, so if you need me for anything I will be in the potions lab. "
Ar'Ron walked over to where Harry was looking at the babies, pulling him into a hug and kissing him deeply. " Good morning Mel'Anin. Formal Battle Uniform, are you planning on intimidating the Tonks family. " He laughed
Chuckling at the picture that comment brought to mind. " I was going for the not so gentle reminder of who their lord is. " Harry replied
"I would say that if that is the image you are going for you have attained it. " Ar'Ron laughed back
Giving him one last kiss he said. " I have that potion to finish and you have the Tonks family to deal with. Minky told me that they have prepared the blue room for the oath ceremony. " Ar'Ron said with one last kiss before walking towards the office area and the stairwell up to the potions lab.
Harry took one last look at the sleeping form of Holly and her babies before nodding his goodbye's to Ellisia and walking out of the infirmary.
Harry took one of the secret passageways that linked the public side of the castle to the family side and arrived shortly outside the door of the small sitting room where the interview was to take place today instead of tomorrow .
Standing there outside the door he listened in to the nervous conversation that was taking place inside the room. Removing his shrunken stave from his belt Harry held it up in front of him and with a snap it was back to its normal size. Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly he entered the room.
Tonks was startled when Harry walked into the room. He was dressed all in black shimmering uniform with multiple pouches on his belt. He was carrying a battle stave that radiated power, long flowing black hair tied back with a black leather tie. But the real shocking thing was the glowing crown that was encircling Harry's head.
As her Lord swept into the room Andromeda had to pull her daughter into a standing position as she was staring at her Lord like she was in shock.
"My Lord Black, we have received your summons and await your orders my Lord. " Andromeda said as she bowed.
Minky had outdone herself in setting up the room for an interview where one wanted to intimidate someone. Harry walked towards the end of the room where a large throne like chair was set up and adorned on the wall behind the chair all five family crests.
Sitting down he leaned placed his battle stave in the hooked holder on the edge of the arm of the chair.
Harry briefly looked at he Tonks family and the goblin that was with them. His eyes widened slightly when he noticed it was not Glathrock that had accompanied them but Stoneheart.
"Please sit down. " Harry told them before calling out for Dobby.
A few seconds later Dobby popped in " Harry Potter Sir calls his Dobby. "
"Yes Dobby if you would recall all the Hogwarts elf's I would like to meet with them around 2:00 this afternoon. Also Holly has had her babies, three of them, make sure all the house elf's have a chance to see them before we meet. " Harry commanded
After Dobby popped out Harry looked over towards Stoneheart, with a smile on his face Harry said. " Hello Stoneheart, I did not expect to see you until Monday at lunch along with the other managers. "
"Glathrock would have come my Prince, but an opportunity came up to buy fifty percent of the Wizarding Wireless Network and twenty two percent of the daily Prophet. " Stoneheart reported.
"That is very good news, I am very pleased with this news, by chance did I already have any holding in the WWN? " Harry asked
"Yes my Prince, through the various families you held twenty six percent of the WWN. " Stoneheart stated as he looked up the information in his ever present ledger.
"Very good. " Harry smiled. " If you will send someone over to the head office to advise them exactly who their chief stock holder is before tonight's ball. I want to make sure there are no problems tonight. "
Tonks was shocked. This was not the little Harry Potter she spent part of last summer guarding at his relatives house. This was a grown up Harry, a Lord five times over if the family crests on the wall were accurate. For Merlin's sake, he was sitting there radiating more power in a relaxed state then Dumbledore ever did in the heat of battle.
Turning back to his guests Harry stated. " Sorry to conduct business that does not pertain to why we are all here this morning. "
"My Lord, we are more than happy to wait until our Lord is free to speak with us. " Andromeda stated
"I understand through Glathrock that you are eager to rejoin the family. " Harry said
"Yes my Lord, I am. I am pleased that my Lord would reconsider our standing in the family. " Andromeda said frankly
"You will find that I am well versed in the actual truth of Wizarding history and not the dogma of the so called pure blood families nor the lies of the ministry. ' Harry told them
Andromeda bowed her head. " Yes my Lord. "
"Andromeda present your chosen husband to me. " Harry commanded
Getting up from the loveseat where she and her husband were currently sitting they approached the high back chair Harry was sitting in.
"My Lord may I present my Husband Theodore Tonks, Among friends and family he goes by Ted. " Andromeda stated
Harry thought how did that ancient welcoming go. Thinking back through his studies, Ah yes. Holding out his hand that the Black Family ring was on. " I welcome you back to the Family Andromeda, may you never break the family code. "
Andromeda leaned over and kissed the black family ring and said to the building magic. " Thank you my Lord, May I never break with the family. "
Looking over at Ted, Harry offered his hand to him. " I welcome you to the family Theodore Tonks, you are an appropriate husband for Andromeda. "
As Ted kissed the Black Family ring he felt a surge of magic go through him, all of a sudden he felt magically stronger than before.
Harry's smile left his face as he looked over at the sitting Tonks. " Auror Tonks before I would welcome you to the Family I must know where your true loyalty lies. It is understood that while working as an Auror you must have a certain amount of loyalty to the Auror forces. But under no circumstances will any person of the Black Family or any of the others that I represent give loyalty to Albus Dumbledore or the Order of the Phoenix. "
Harry's voice turned cold as he said. "So tell me Auror Tonks who holds your loyalty? "
Tonks had been doing a lot of soul searching these past three weeks, ever since the meeting with the goblins. She had rethought all the incidents that were reported about Harry during order meetings
Then the blowup after Sirius was killed and what Albus did to Harry was borderline illegal, she felt that if he had embraced the dark no one should be surprised due to the way he was treated. Then Remus kicked the order out of headquarters and dispelled a lot of the lies surrounding the treatment of Harry. All this took a few seconds to flash back through her mind.
Standing up She walked over and knelt before Harry. " My loyalty will always be to family my Lord. "
Smiling once again, Harry held out his hand one last time, this time towards Tonks. " It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the family Nymphadora Tonks, who likes to be known as Tonks, "
With tears threatening to drop out of her eyes Tonks kissed the Black Family ring. Feeling a wave of magic settle into her core she looked up wide eyed with awe.
Seeing the look on Tonks face, Harry told her. " That my dear Tonks would be the Black Family Magic accepting you into the family. You will find that magically you are stronger than before. "
Standing up Harry grabbed his stave and holding it out in front of him gave it the mental command to shrink. After it had shrunk down to wand size once more he reattached it to his belt.
With a huge grin on his face Harry told them. "Now that all that Ritualistic welcoming is out of the way. Now that you are family you are to call me Harry when we are not in public, I have long given up on getting people to call me Harry when in public. "
Looking over at Stoneheart he said. " Now that you are back in the family, that means a reinstatement of your monthly allowance. Andromeda as a married woman of the black family you will get three thousand galleons a month and Tonks as an unmarried woman of the Black family you are entitled to five thousand galleons a month. " Harry told them
"Harry, this is too much, this is more money than I make in a year as an Auror. " Tonks started to protest.
"Nymphadora dear, Harry had nothing to do with the amounts set out in the allowances. The Black Family Trust was set up years ago to give each family member a percentage of the profits from the trust. The more the trust generates the larger the monthly allowance grows. " Andromeda told her daughter
"You as an unmarried woman get a larger percentage so that you will seem more attractive to perspective husbands. " Andromeda finished with a smile watching her daughter turn a lovely shade of red.
"MUM. " Tonks yelled
"Count yourself lucky that I don't believe in arranged marriages Tonks. " Harry laughed
As everyone was chuckling at Tonks embarrassed pout, Harry looked over towards his goblin manager. " Stoneheart is there anything else that you need me for that cannot wait until Monday? " Harry asked
"No my Prince, the only thing of note is that the purchase was finalized a few minutes ago, Glathrock sent me a note. ' Stoneheart said pointing to his ledger. "Also seeing how it is the first of the month the funds shall be transferred to the Tonks's Vaults by closing today."
"Thank you Stoneheart, I will see you and the others on Monday for lunch then. Chan- san told me he had something special in mind to serve. " Harry said as the little goblin packed up his belongings and walked out the door
After the goblin left Harry turned his attention once more to his guests. " Tonks, to answer your question on what you are going to do with all that money. Take a vacation, take a teaching position, Merlin knows Hogwarts needs a component defense teacher. Or look up Mad-Eye, he is the city guard training instructor and I know he as interested in offering you a job. "
"I will have to think on it. " Tonks said thoughtfully
"I have another engagement in a few minutes, so I think the best thing to do is to leave you in the capable hands of your sister. " Harry said leading them out of the receiving room and around the corner to the great ballroom.
Spotting Narcissa over against the far wall Harry led them over. After an enthusiastic greeting between the two sisters Harry left the three with Narcissa with instructions for them to find appropriate dress for tonight's ball.
As Harry was walking down the hall towards the stairs to the third floor he heard his name being called.
"Harry, a quick word if I may. " Frank Wilder called out
Turning Harry saw frank coming up behind him. " Good Morning Frank, settling into the new house all right? " he asked
"Maria loves the house. I want to thank you again for all the help you have given us these past few weeks. " Frank told Harry
"Think nothing of it Frank. It was a simple thing really." Harry waved off the mans gratitude
"Mario, Steven and I were talking last night, actually our boys came to us and demanded they be allowed to take the Mages Oath after seeing that we had and finding out all that was involved. Our boys are ready and we are asking if they could be allowed to join your friend this morning when he takes his oath. " Frank asked
"I have no problem with them joining. " Looking up at Franks Forehead he noticed the oath cluster in blue. " Thinking of a united front at tonight's ball. " Harry asked
"Something like that, we have finished going over all the laws that needed to be gotten rid of and have recommendations for a few new ones. We pretty much are going to overturn five hundred years of bigotry and two thousand years of oppression. " Frank explained
Harry stopped for a moment to look at Frank before continuing to walk down the third floor corridor. " Are we going to need more than three hours to discuss and vote on this. " asked Harry as they arrived at the common room they were going to use, as it had a shower room off of it.
Waving at Ron who was sitting on one of the couches along the wall, Harry motioned for Mario and Steven to join him.
When they had walked over Harry said. " I want to make one thing very clear. Even though I hold five votes, which happens to be the majority, I want a unanimous agreement on all laws or decrees we pass. If even one of you thinks what we are considering is not for the best of all Wizarding kind I want it tabled for further research and until we come up with something we all can agree on. "
"We had a feeling you would say something like this, but I am more than willing to take an advisors role and let you lead the council. " Steve told him
"As am I. " Mario said
"And I make it unanimous. " Frank said laughing at the expression on Harry's face.
Harry groaned out loud to the amusement of the other Lords.
Ar'Ron walked into the room and hugged Harry from behind. " Hello Mel'Anin, I see we have a few more than originally planned. "
Steven, Mario and Frank told their sons that they would see them for lunch downstairs in the council chambers. With a last wave goodbye the three Lords walked out the door closing it behind them.
Everyone watched as Ar'Ron turned and traced a runic combination on the door and activated a shield.
"Whoa, wicked. ' Ron said watching the shield activate
Doing a quick head count Ar'Ron saw that there was an even dozen to take the oath. Turning Harry so he could give him a proper kiss, he mentioned that they would split the group, six each.
Ar'Ron and Harry sat down side by side on the couch facing the others. " Let me give a brief description of what you can expect to happen as we inscribe the runes on your chest and forehead. " Ar'Ron said to them.
"If anything is not clear please ask me to clarify. " Seeing he had their attention Ar'Ron continued after pulling a small thin oak box out of his pocket. Opening the box he took out on of the thin glowing Fairy Oak branch length that ended up in a short point.
"This is Fairy Oak, it will allow us to inscribe the runic clusters on your temple, forehead and over our heart.
These are sharp enough to cut the skin but we will not go deep enough to actually draw blood. The magic binding the oath is what actually turns the clusters colors.
When we inscribe these using Elven magic you will find yourself becoming highly aroused, and by the time we get to inscribing the set on your chest, you will be so aroused it will be all you can do not to grab yourself and wank until you orgasm.
Then at the moment you give your oath and the runes are finished being inscribed on your chest you will experience an orgasm.
After every one has given their oath, the third cluster of runes will be inscribed on your temple, this set does not turn color, it actually creates a small scarred outline of the runes that can be felt but not seen.
This last set will protect you from attacks on your mind. The Imperious Curse will not effect you nor will any other charms, potions or enchantments designed to control your mind work.
You will also experience another orgasm when the magic is set in this cluster." Ar'Ron explained to them.
"Any Questions. " Harry asked
One of the Wilder boys spoke up. " When you say orgasm, do you mean shooting our load, like actually Cumming without touching our cocks. "
Ar'Ron smiled at the young man. " Yes that is exactly what I mean. "
"That is so cool. " the young American said.
"Father told us about the rune on the forehead and that it is a visible symbol of our being a mage, but what does the one on the chest do. " Anthony Hawthorne asked
"That is an activation set, when you take the oath that set is what links the symbol on your forehead to your magic and the oath. " Ar'Ron answered
"Any more questions? " Ar'Ron asked, looking around as seeing the negative nods of heads. " Ok break up into two lines six each. "
Ron started over towards the line in front of Ar'Ron when he froze. All around him the other guys were removing all of their clothing.
Seeing Ron freeze and look around at all the others undressing and then to him self Anthony walked over to Ron. " Hey mate, give them no mind. If you are not comfortable being nude don't. We all talked it over this morning and decided why mess up our clothes that our mothers are going to go through to wash. Easier this way. "
Ron had to agree, yet he was not sure about everyone seeing his bits squirt, then again seeing how Harry and Ar'Ron were moving to a set of chairs at eth end of the room in opposite corners facing towards the sitting area, so he would be facing the wall, no one should be able to see much. He too started to remove all his clothes.
Harry looked over at all the lads who were about to give their oaths and noticed that they were all stripping, and to his surprise so was Ron. Whispering to Ar'Ron he said. " Look at them. By the time this is finished I am going to be so horny. "
Looking across the room to the naked young men with penis's swinging and at half mast, Ar'Ron started to undress. " Might as well join them and keep our clothes clean also." Then answering Harry's statement he said. " Me too, we will send then out of the room for fifteen minutes or so and take care of that problem before giving them their first lesson. "
Ar'Ron handed Harry one of the Fairy Oak knifes. ' Remember when you channel magic through the knife it will glow green. " Giving Harry one last kiss before starting, they both parted to sit in their chairs half hard.
"Ok who's first? " Asked Harry
Ron started to walk towards Ar'Ron and the young Wilder boy who had asked the questions started towards Harry his erections pointing straight up in the air.
Ron walked over to stand in front of the sitting Ar'Ron. Being motioned to kneel he did so and found that Ar'Ron 's crotch was at eye level.
Ar'Ron reached out and gently turned Ron's head to the side and began to inscribe the runes in his forehead.
Ron felt the knife slowly cut the runes into this head. It did not really hurt. Relaxing a little bit he suddenly became really aroused, his willie had gotten so hard. He heard Ar'Ron say first set done and to tell him to stop slouching as he was about to start inscribing the set on his chest.
Ron brushed the head of his willie against Ar'Ron's leg as he knelt straighter. The pleasure that shot across his body was almost to much for him. Looking over towards Harry he saw the youngest Wilder boy hands gripping Harry's thighs as he squirmed back and forth , glancing down he saw the boy was leaking precum like crazy. Then it happened he heard him give his oath and then the boys body shook as he squirted his load, some of it hitting Harry in the chest.
God he was so horny, reaching out he grabbed Ar'Ron by the thighs to keep his hands busy. Ron heard Ar'Ron ask him to give his oath.
By my Blood
By my Magic
By my Soul
Hear my oath
Given freely
I pledge by my magic to never share or teach any
That do not wear the mark of the Mages Oath
To never use my magic for evil or revenge
To do all I can to promote magical kind
This I vow, if I shall break this vow I shall pay
With the loss of my magic forevermore
By my Blood
By my Magic
By my Soul
By the Seeds of life
"Merlin I am Cumming. " Ron moaned out as he shot his load all over Ar'Ron's legs and crotch.
He knelt there trembling trying to catching his breath. That had been the most intense cum in his life. Taking a deep breath he used his hands on Ar'Ron's legs to help him stand. Walking back to where the others sat waiting their turn he did not notice the last drips of cum dripping from his half erect penis. All he could see was the bright blue mages mark on his forehead in the mirror. He felt worth something for the first time in his life.
After a half hour had passed all had given their oaths and were lining up to get the mind protection runes inscribed.
Once again they took turns kneeling in front of Harry or Ar'Ron and experienced another intense orgasm shooting their loads all over Harry or Ar'Ron.
Harry smiled at the twelve young men sprawled around the room recovering from their sexual highs. Standing up he reached for Ar'Ron's hand. " We will let you lot catch your breaths. We in be back in about fifteen minutes to start your first mage lesson. "
"Make that twenty minutes, after all we have to shower. " Ar'Ron smirked as he conjured up some wet washcloths so that boys could clean up.
Pulling Harry under the hot spray from the shower washing all the semi dried cum off their bodies. Pulling Harry into a passionate kiss. Slowly his kisses started to trail down to Harry's nipples. Slowly he moved down as he knelt in front of his love.
Ar'Ron looked at Harry's swollen penis before leaning forward and licking up and down the shaft. Hearing Harry moan in pleasure he slowly swirled his tongue around the tip of his penis. Pushing up Harry's foreskin he trapped his swirling tongue under the foreskin.
Feeling Harry's balls starting to ride up and his penis start to enlarge he quickly engulfed the head in time to receive Harry's offering.
Standing up he kissed Harry again sharing the last remains of Harry's seed as he placed his penis in between Harry's thighs and with a few strokes he to was blasting his seed all over the shower floor.
"Well that was way to fast, we will have to revisit this later tonight and take our time. " Ar'Ron whispered in Harry's ear as he nibbled on it.
"You can count on it. " Harry said back between kisses
With one last kiss the two separated to get dressed. Walking out of the shower room they noticed everyone relaxing on the couches fully clothed.
Walking over to the empty couch they sat down and looked over the group, taking satisfaction that they all had nice bright blue runes glowing on their foreheads.
"Hope you are all nice and relaxed now. " Chuckled Ar'Ron
"I sure am, now I know why dad said taking the oath was intensely personal. " Anthony said
The other chuckled at Anthony's understatement.
"Normally a person taking the oath will stay clothed. " Ar'Ron said with a smirk. " Though you twelve took the magic one step higher by mixing your seed with one another's. You twelve now share a bond, we will have to see after your training is underway just how extensive the bond is. "
"Lets get started on your first lesson. " Ar'Ron told them
"I want you all to close your eyes and try to get in the most relaxed state you can. Let your mind wander until you are totally relaxed.
When you feel you are totally relaxed I want you to look inward for your magical core. Once you find it I want you to relax, you don't want to force your way to your core, it should be like a welcoming stroll. When you reach your core instead of fighting your way in, just lay your hand on it and welcome it as part of yourself, when you feel totally relaxed just step into your core. Don't fight to get in, it should be more of the welcoming embrace of an old friend as you melt into your core " Ar'Ron told them
After working for the next hour they all had been able to enter their core at least once. They were all a little tired from their efforts but on the other hand proud of what they were able to accomplish.
The youngest Wilder boy once again asked. " Why do we need to be bale to be inside our magical core? "
"Good Question. The biggest factor in why wizards today are no where near as powerful as they used to be, including being able to do magic without a wand, is for the very reason that they are not taught to merge with their magical core.
The longer you spend in your core the easier it is to stay there, and the more magic you do while in your core the stronger you become. After a certain point the magical core will grow until it is impossible to do anything else but be merged with it.
In the past wands were invented as a means to give very young children a step up, to help them increase their magical core and by the time they had finished puberty or received their magical inheritance their original wands no longer suited them and they needed either a staff or a multi core wand.
In the past by the time a wizard or witch had finished their training they stayed in their magical cores at all times. If they were exceptionally strong they learned to hide their glow.
I want you all to practice staying in your core as long as possible. Once you are able to stay in your core for an hour I want you to then start practicing casting spells while in your core. Start with first year spells and gradually work your way up to your current year. " Ar'Ron explained
"I want to warn you, and this is very important. " Seeing he had their total attention Ar'Ron continued. " Only cast spells while in your core until you start to feel slightly tired. Unlike building muscles you do not want to go that little extra bit. If you do you will end up spending a week unconscious in the infirmary. "
"Practice every chance you can. Classes start Monday at 1:00 p.m. and will finish at 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. with an hour break for lunch. Sunday you will have free. " Ar'Ron told them
Harry stood up and walked over to the door. Placing his finger in the upper right hand corner of the door covering the slightly glowing rune he sent a burst of his magic into it releasing the shield.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I am ready for lunch. ' Harry said
Turning towards Ron. " Hey Ron stop by tomorrow afternoon, bring your broom and we will do some flying. " Harry told him
Ron grinned at the idea of just spending some time with his best mate flying around. " See you tomorrow then Harry. " Glad that Harry included him in as much as he did.
Harry and Ar'Ron led the young men to the Council Chambers where lunch had been laid out by the Impare'
Entering the room the three Lords quickly got up from their worktables and walked over to their sons. Embracing them with pride showing in their eyes each man made sure to tell his sons how proud they had made them being accepted as Mages.
After Lunch Steven, Frank and Mario rose from the table and went to their respective desks. Harry and Ar'Ron also got up and went to the only empty desk. The desk was twice as long and had two large chairs behind it.
Sitting down side by side the desk changed, the front taking on the five family crests Harry was lord of. Looking around Harry noticed the other seven desks arranged in an open semi circle all facing the one he was sitting at. The three desks occupied had the family crests on the front also.
Draco walked in with a trailing Gregory and led him to one of the empty desks. As soon as he sat down The Romanov family crest appeared on the front of the desk.
Draco conjured a chair as sat slightly behind and to the right of Gregory's chair. Looking around the room he noticed the sons of the Lords of the council at a table littered with the remains of lunch in the center of the room.
Seeing Harry sitting next to Ar'Ron he almost missed the shining glow surrounding Harry's head. Looking further he noticed it was a glowing crown smaller than the one Ar'Ron wore.
"Harry. " Then catching where he was he looked down ashamed at his slip. " Sorry my Lord. " Draco said
"That's all right Draco, you wanted to ask me something I assume? " Harry asked the red faced blond
Being very formal so he did not slip and embarrass himself or his lord Draco stated. " My Lord, its just that I did not see you yesterday and today you are wearing a crown and... " He trailed off not knowing how to ask his question.
Now it was Harry's turn to turn slightly red with embarrassment.
Ar'Ron chuckling to him self lent a helping hand to his soul mate and explained. " After spending the night in the sacred grove, this is the place where the very essence of magic enters the world, Harry and I completed the soul bond. Neither of us expected magic to intervene the way it did. " Ar'Ron dropped the glamour that hid his crown so all could compare.
"Being the King of the Astarii, legend calls me the King of Magic. That night Magic judged our soul bond and appointed Harry as Prince Consort to the King of Magic and thus crowned him as such. " Ar'Ron told them
Sighing Harry said. " Juts another thing to make me stand out. "
Leaning over to comfort his love Ar'Ron started to say. " Mel'Anin..."
"Its ok, I have finally gotten used to the idea I will never be normal, if I was normal I would never have found you. I can't imagine living without you love. " Harry told him looking at the other half of his soul.
"I just wish I knew why I can't hide the crown like you do with glamour. " Harry sighed
Listening to the explanation Steven stood up. " If I may, I think I know why you can not hide the crown using glamour. "
Harry snapped his head around to look at Steven standing behind his desk. " You know why? " he asked
"I think so, but I do not know how to hide the crown, actually I think that it can't be hidden and if Ar'Ron where to stop hiding his most would assume it would have something to do with your bonding to the king. " Steven said before launching in on the explanation.
"My family has always been the conservators of the council history. Four thousand nine hundred so years ago during one of the yearly council sessions Lord Chu had a vision which he showed the rest of the council members, he was a projective seer.
They saw what to them was a horrible future. The Wizarding world was on the brink of losing magic.
Wars had decimated those with magical ability, and wizards were at war with an evil once more.
Wizarding kind had turned their backs on the path set out by the true ones.
They saw the council losing control as members were decimated and lines lost.
The saw the ministry take over and corruption set in and Wizarding kind suffer.
Then they saw hope come in the form of one who had inherited five of the ruling bloodlines.
He had a glowing crown of magic. That is what was written in the journals of my ancestor. " Steven told Harry
Harry stared at the man like one would trapped on rail road tracks with a train fast approaching.
Continuing Steven said. " They then did something that had never been done before or since. They drafted a new law that could never be overturned, when five lines of lords are held by one, he shall be crowned prince and he shall rule the council and it can never be disbanded again. "
Harry groaned as he held his head in his hands. Feeling Ar'Ron place his hand on his shoulder in comfort he took a deep breath and sat back up.
"Nothing is going to change from what I told the three of you earlier. If I am forced into this those conditions stand. " Harry told them
"I know. " Harry said seeing the look on their faces. " But you have to admit it is just a little bit spooky hearing that people that far back in the past set things up so that when I came into my inheritance I would be given a position to affect sweeping changes to the Wizarding world. "
Seeing the expressions flash across Harry's face Draco snickered.
Smiling Harry said. " This doesn't change anything, just makes sure the council can never be disbanded by the ministries. "
"Very true Prince Harry. " Steven said as he sat down
Harry threw the man a glare that could melt steel. " Harry, call me Harry. "
"Prince Harry that would not be proper. ' Frank spoke out.
"I want, No I need to have safe places where I can just be me. We can use the Hall of Judgment as the public council chambers, but here in the private working chambers I need a break from the formal atmosphere my life is becoming. " Harry pleaded with them
"I do think this is not that much to ask for, a safe place where all can relax in an informal atmosphere where the true work gets done. " Ar'Ron volunteered
Steven, Frank and Mario looked at each other and then nodded.
"Very well Harry we will set down some locations later where you can feel like you can relax and be yourself. " Mario said
"Thank you, now maybe we should get started. " Harry said with a smile
Mario looked towards his son at he center table. " William would you do me the honors of being scribe for today's meeting? " He asked his son
Swelling up with pride William replied. " Thank you father, I would like that very much."
"Ben would you please pass these books and parchments over to Harry and Gregory. " Frank asked his son
Anthony seeing not a lot of room on the table they were sitting at pulled his wand out and using a simple levitation charm moved all the dirty dishes over to one of the unoccupied desks and any leftovers to another.
After receiving the books and parchments Ar'Ron quickly glanced through them and then with a wave of his hand upwards a copy of the documents appeared in front of everyone at the center table.
"Harry, after a lot of research we came to the conclusion that instead of trying to fix all the oppressive laws on the books it would be better to just scrap the whole thing and start over. " Frank told Harry
"After reading the laws that are enforced here in Toria, from the book we each found in our houses, we decided that with a couple of modifications that it would be perfect for what we envisioned. " Frank finished
"You see Harry, your ancestors wrote equality between magical beings into the fabric of the laws from the get go. ' Seven stated
Looking at the small booklet, Harry flipped through the pages trying to find what had been changed. Looking up towards Frank. " What was changed? " He asked
"Three things. " Frank Replied " If you look at page thirty seven you will see an entry that explains the Mages Oath and a brief description of skills and responsibilities. "
"And we changed the sentences for crimes committed to prison terms instead of banishment and added that any crime that ended in a life sentence the person also would have their magic removed.
But we added a safety feature to make sure those who are sentenced to prison have a fair trial and we don't punish innocents.
If you look at page two seventeen I think you will be happy with what we came up with. "Steven explained
Turning to the page Harry started to read.
All prisoners shall be transported to one central facility. Upon arrival a review panel consisting of three separate members of magical beings, made up of one member from each race, shall investigate the charges and conviction using Legilimency and the strongest truth serums on the prisoner, and making sure no spells are in place on said prisoner.
If the charges are upheld the prisoner shall be sent to the secure facility to begin his sentence.
If on the other hand the charges are proven false and the prisoner is innocent, then a warrant for the arrest of all parties involved shall be issued. Upon any guilty verdict of false imprisonment, the guilty party shall have the magic ripped from their soul leaving them a muggle.
Thinking of Sirius and wishing this law was in place for him when he was sentenced to Azkaban, Harry decided that this law was a good one and he would sign off on it in Sirius's name.
Looking up once more Harry turned towards Mario who started speaking.
"Harry we wanted to make sure that no innocents were sent to prison and that the punishment for any who tried using the court system for their own gains would suffer the ultimate price, their magic. " Mario told him
"And the last change? " Harry asked
"A simple reclassification. Simply put magic is magic it is not light or dark. It is the intent of the caster that crimes should be judged on. " Frank told them
"I agree with everything you have said so how do we go about making this official? " Harry asked
Frank held up a red leather bound copy of the book in Harry's hand and opened the cover so all could see the twelve square boxes on the cover. " A simple press of your signet to one of the boxes will magically transfer the seal to the book. This is the master copy, all other copies are charmed to reflect what is in this book. "
Frank then proceeded to touch his ring to the first empty square causing his personal crest to magically appear on the cover. " Danny, would you take this around to all the council members to seal please. " He asked his youngest son
"Yes father. " Danny said getting up with a grin on his face
Danny walked the book from desk to desk stopping long enough for it to be sealed. When he stopped in front of Gregory, seeing the young boys confusion he looked over his shoulder towards his father.
"I am not old enough to sign the book of laws though. " A confused Gregory said
Ar'Ron in a gentle voice asked the lad. " Gregory, do you believe the laws are good and just laws? "
"Yes sir. " Gregory answered in a shy voice
Mario stood up and walked over to kneel next to the young boy. " Gregory your father was my best friend. He would have wanted to pass these laws. He can't be here but you can put his seal to the book, for him. "
Seeing the sad look on the boys face Harry told him. " Gregory your father would be so proud of you right now. "
Danny then took the book over to Harry for him to affix his seals to the book.
After Harry had finished placing his last signet to the book it glowed briefly and he noticed the copies around the room also glowed at the same time.
"Did any of you find a more secure facility than Azkaban? " Harry asked
"Not really. " Answered Steven. " We were hoping his majesty would be able to help. "
"You can keep the small time crooks and those that are only serving a few years in Azkaban. But where to put the more hard core prisoners. " Ar'Ron said thoughtfully
"Give me a couple of days to think on it I might be able to come up with a solution. " Ar'Ron told them
Picking up the first piece of parchment Harry asked. " Ok the next thing would be. " Harry looked down to read the title on the fastened parchments. " The reorganization of the government employee's at each corresponding ministry. "
"Well that's a mouthful. " Harry said looking at the parchments strangely
Laughing at he expression on Harry's face Mario spoke up. " Harry this is nothing but an outline of the steps that we are going to take to restructure the ministries into a functioning whole. "
"I am afraid it is going to take us a couple of months to get everything in order. " Frank said
Seeing the questioning look on Harry and their sons faces Steven explained. " Each department must have a description of what area's they cover and rules they operate under. Then each position must have a job description and a list of their responsibilities and starting pay grade. If you look at the last page you will find we finished the description for the office of castle information."
Reading through the description of Percy's job and responsibilities Harry understood what was being explained to him.
"How long do you think it will take before it is done? " Harry asked
"If we are lucky a month, if not two. " Frank replied
Harry set the parchments down and picked up the last one. His eyes widened in shock as he read it.
Seeing Harry look up Steven said. " This is something we three believe strongly in. Beside the oath of service all government employee's must take the Mages Oath even if they never follow through on the training. "
"We feel that even though the rules and regulations of government workers is not done, that this should be implemented as soon as possible. " Frank said placing his seal on the parchment before handing it to his son to once again take around.
Danny was soon in front of Harry who took the parchment and looked over to Ar'Ron for guidance.
"I think it is a good idea. Members of the government should be held to a higher standard than the everyday citizen." Ar'Ron told him
Nodding his head in agreement with this concept Harry placed his seals on the document.
After he handed it back Harry said. " I have two suggestions. "
Looking the center table. " Anthony, William, Ben would the three of you be willing to take on a project. Now before you say yes, let me tell you what I have in mind." Harry told them
"I would like the three of you to come up with a small pamphlet outlining the Mages Oath. Be explicit in describing what happens to a person during the ritual. Write out the oath so they can memorize it before hand. Use your own experiences to come up with a good guide that explains everything. " Harry told them
The three whispered amongst themselves for a moment before Anthony replied. " We can do that, we can get a rough draft to you next Friday. "
"Thank you. " Harry told them, then looking towards the other Lords he continued. " If I might suggest using your sons as research aides, I can arrange access to the Potter Family library for them. "
"Especially seeing how they are going to end up spending time in their anyway doing homework once they start classes next week. " Ar'Ron told them to the groans coming from the center table at the mention of homework.
"Its almost 4:00 p.m. and we need to be back by half past five. Anything else we need to cover before leaving to get ready? " Harry asked
Seeing no one speak up Ar'Ron rose and with a pushing motion with his hand purple light shot out towards very table or desk that was occupied. Where the beams of magic touched a stack of silver garments appeared.
"These are formal Elven battle uniforms. They can stop even the killing curse, though only if it hits the fabric, and you will probably suffer some broken bones if it hits just right.
Wear them tonight as a symbol of your new status as Mages. They will change to your house colors when you put them on, your crest will appear on the left breast. " Ar'Ron told them
"If there is nothing else, lets meet back here at half past. " Harry stated
Gathering up Gregory and Draco, Harry and Ar'Ron walked out of the room towards the center of the castle and the hidden portal that would take them to the Family wing.
Arriving with fifteens minutes until the rest showed up Harry noticed that Gregory was nervously fidgeting. Walking over to the young lad Harry knelt down on one knee in front of him and placed a hand on his shoulder. " What's wrong? " Harry asked
"Are you sure I should be wearing this, I mean I have not taken the oath and I am not really part of the council. I am to young. " Rushed out of Gregory's mouth
"Whoa slow down and breathe. " A smiling Harry told him. " Yes I am sure you should be here, you are after all one of the Lords of the Council, no matter if you are not old enough to vote on issues. That is why you are included in the council sessions, with Draco sitting behind you to help explain anything you do not understand. "
"And as far as this uniform, it will protect you. And as soon as you are old enough even if you are younger than thirteen you can give your oath. " Harry told him softly
Looking at Harry quizzically , Gregory asked. ' How will I know when I am old enough? "
Leaning forward to whisper in Gregory's ear. " When you wank and are able to squirt, then you are old enough. Ask Draco later, he will tell you all about it if you need to. "
Seeing that Gregory was more comfortable now, and a smile on his face Harry stood up just as the other Lords and their sons walked into the room.
"Impressive, a very impressive image you all will make tonight. " Ar'Ron told them
Harry turned slightly pale and started looking around the room frantically before walking over to the wall and placing his hand on the stone wall.
"Mel'Anin what is wrong. " Ar'Ron said looking around himself.
"The wards, they have been activated. ' Harry softly said
Those few words caused everyone in the room to draw their wands and prepare for battle.
Eyes closed Harry stood with his hand on the wall letting the castle tell him what had happened. Opening his eyes he stepped back from the wall and saw that everyone had their wand out waiting for him to say something.
Facing the others Harry said. " Its over now, Fifty death eaters attempted to Apparate onto the castle grounds. "
Frank was the first to put up his wand. " I notice you said attempt Harry. "
"They started to Apparate into the ground floor entry hall when the offensive wards recognized the magical signature of the dark mark and took action. " Harry told him
Then without emotion Harry said. " They are all dead, the wards kicked in as they appeared, and as they are set on terminate, they all were killed and transported to a holding cell in the guard wing for identification. "
Pulling Harry into a hug Ar'Ron kissed him gently. " Are you all right? "
"Yes. " Harry said snapping out of the fog he was in. " That is the first time I felt the wards activate. Besides I did not do anything to them, they killed themselves. "
Ar'Ron smiled at Harry. ' All right then, Steven, you and Mario enter first. Followed by Frank and Gregory, then Harry and I, followed by oldest to youngest. "
The group left the chambers in the order that Ar'Ron told them to. As they walked down the hall and down the steps to the second floor they turned the corner and walked down a long corridor to end up at the back door of the ball room to find Draco standing outside waiting for them.
Seeing the Lords walking down the corridor towards him Draco straightened up to his full height. Removing his stave from his belt he held it out in front of him and with a snap of his wrist he un-shrunk his stave and let it hit the floor once. With a slight bow he said. "By the Pleasure of my Lords I will announce your arrival. "
Seeing the smiles on both Ar'Ron and Harry's face as he came up from his bow, he felt a huge surge of pride coming from the two of them aimed at him. Puffing up his chest a little more he entered the ballroom when Harry told him they were ready.
Draco entered the ballroom and walked to the front of the low stage. Whispering a echoing and sonorous charm under his breath He hit the bottom of his stave three times hard against the floor, letting the booming echo's rebound in the hall.
After seeing that he had everyone's attention he said. " The Lords of the Council of Twelve, Rulers of the Wizarding World. " Before moving to the side of the stage
"Lord Lombardi and Lord Hawthorne.' Draco announced as each entered
When Frank and Gregory entered next Draco's voice could be heard booming " Lord Wilder and Lord Romanov. "
Harry walked in next and was surprised that Draco gave out his full titles.
"My Lord Potter, holder of the lordships of
House Black
House Ridgestone
House Rothland
House Donaldson
Prince Consort to the King of Astarii " Draco finished
Ar'Ron walked in next to hear Draco announce. " His majesty King Ar'Ron of the Astarii "
Draco finished up by saying " The sons of the Lords of the Twelve. " As the heirs walked in, before removing the sonorous charm.
They stood there looking out over the sea of stunned faces when Gregory pulled on Harry's hand slightly panicked.
"She's here, the one who killed my papa. " Gregory whispered
"Where is she " Harry said through gritted teeth
Pointing Gregory pointed to the woman in royal purple robes in the fifth row.
Draco seeing Gregory panic and point out a woman from the crowd, moved silently off the stage towards the woman.
Motioning for Narcissa to come over, Harry asked her who the woman in the purple robes was in the fifth row.
"Looking quickly over her shoulder, Narcissa responded. " Anya Valeska, she's the Romanian minister. "
"Is their a problem my lord. " Narcissa asked worriedly
"Yes she is the one who killed Gregory's father " Harry replied
Seeing that Draco was in position to grab the woman Harry projected his voice across they hall. " Anya Valeska you are herby charged with murder of the Romanov family. You are also charged with attempted genocide of one of the ruling bloodlines of the Twelve. "
Harry spat out with venom " Draco restrain her. "
Quickly casting a full body bind Draco removed her wand and motioned for the Torian Guard to come over and remove the prisoner.
The woman started screaming and frothing at the mouth then she screamed out as the guards were taking her out the back door. " I knew Dumbledore could not be trusted, if he would have told us about the Potter brat we would have chosen the right target. "
Frank whipped around " Hold her in the highest security cell we have, get an Elven mind healer as soon as possible. I do not care if they have to rip her mind to shreds but find out How Dumbledore fits into this. "
Turning back He noticed the crowd was stunned at the revelations.
The American Minister walked forward and bowed. " My Lords, after the events of the attack on Lord Wilder, we determined that the attempted kidnapping and attack on My Lords family was done on the orders of the American Governments Office of Security. We have taken into custody every person who was involved on the raid. How would you like us to proceed My Lords? "
Harry was angry " How many in the American Government know the truth about Wizarding kind? "
"No more than Fifty " He answered
Steven stepped forward " Get your strongest Obliviator's to memory charm them. They are to be left with no knowledge of our world. "
"You are to find and move the whole ministry to one of the American's underground doomsday bases. Erase all traces of the underground base and build whatever will blend in at the entrance if it is in the public eye, if not leave it be. " Mario told him
"All those involved are to be tried and given the maximum sentence allowed. Those that actually used their weapons against the children are to be tried under genocide of the bloodline and so is the one who only gave the orders. " Harry sneered angrily
"As My lords command, so shall it be done. ' the American minister bowed and returned to his place.
Frank stepped forward and placed the sonorous charm on himself. " Let it be know that on this Date August the first in the year 1997 A.D. The council of twelve has dissolved any and all laws and decries. We have replaced them with a new set of laws that are based on equality among the magical races. You may pick up a copy off on of the tables on the left side of the ballroom they are the blue books. Ministry officials are here by ordered to ensure that the new law books are distributed among the populace as quickly as possible. "
"Food and drink has been set up buffet style on the right side of the hall, so please enjoy yourselves. We will regroup in two hours to answer any of your questions. Members of the press, before you descend on us please allow us to get something to eat. ' Harry told them
As they walked towards the food the crowd parted allowing them to be first in line. After filling up their plates the group spread out across the hall taking different tables so that they could mingle.
After three hours of eating and mingling with the guests Harry met up with Ar'Ron and started towards eth stage where chairs had been set up. The other Lords seeing Harry walked towards the stage took that as the signal to leave their wives and walk towards their seats also.
After everyone had a chance to sit down and place their drinks on the little table next to their chair Ar'Ron stood up to get everyone's attention.
"Thank you all for coming tonight. If you all will take your seats we will get started. " Ar'Ron told them.
After he reporters had sat down at the table that had been moved to the front and most of the rest had found seats Ar'Ron continued. " Just a gently reminder that crass or obnoxious questions will get you evicted quite readily. Also each reporter is allowed one question each until everyone has had a chance to go, then we will take questions from the guests and if any time is left we will come back to the media. "
"This is Daryl Strider of The Wizarding Wireless Network, We are live from the ballroom at Potter Castle in the City of Toria, where the Lords of the Council of Twelve have finished introducing themselves over dinner and have now sat down to a question and answer session. "
"Rita Skeeter for the Quibbler, Can you advise us on what who are doing to ensure the safety of the Wizarding world against You Know Who? "
With a sigh Harry answered. " First off if you can not use the name he invented for himself then call him by the name he was born with. Tom Marvelo Riddle is his given name. "
"Emergency port keys will be made available to any one who comes to the castle and applies for one. They will bring the person to a secure facility near the Guard barracks. " Steven told her.
"Also the underage use of magic ban has been overturned, plus the age one can get their Apparation license also has been changed to ability based not age based. " Frank told her
"And finally the Aurors have been put on a war time footing and we are increasing the Auror forces significantly. " Mario told her
"You have to make your readers understand Miss Skeeter that they have to take responsibility for their own safety. We are providing the tools for them to do so, but if they do not use them then we can not be responsible. " Harry finished
"Ann Rice from With Weekly. Lord Potter there has been rumors around that you are no longer single and to top it off that you are gay. "
"That is borderline personal and hopefully no one else will even try to bend the rules again. 'Harry said frowning. " But I will answer that yes I am off the market as I have bonded with my soul mate. "
"Dan Rich for the Wizard Gazette. Can you tell me what those blue marks on your foreheads is all about. "
Frank answered. " This symbol is actually a runic oath cluster. It is also the mark of a Mage. This Rune keeps the person from going evil, or as the press likes to call it Dark. To do so would cause the person who bears the mark to instantly lose their magic forever. It also allows me to learn and cast ancient magic, as most of you know Wizarding kind is not as magically powerful as they were in the past, this is not due to dilution of the bloodlines as some radicals suggest, but by the very act of past ministers and headmasters deliberately sabotaging the education of our children. "
"Four hundred years ago any third year student would be able to pass what we consider to be seventh year newt level today. " Harry told them. " That is something that will change this year. "
This went on for another hour before Ar'Ron stood up and announced. " It is almost 11:00 p.m. so lets leave it there for tonight and we can hold another press conference in three weeks time in the afternoon giving a much longer time that we can chat. " Ar'Ron told them.
Motioning Draco over once again, Harry asked him to take Gregory up to he family wing.
Ar'Ron pulled the young blond into an embrace and softly so only Harry could overhear. "You did very good Draco, I am proud of you. You reflected well on the house of Black tonight. "
Draco beamed like he had just won the muggle lottery and got a perfect score on all his newts all rolled into one. He beamed all the way out of the hall as he escorted young Gregory up to the family wing.
Two hours later Harry and Ar'Ron were following Narcissa down the hall towards the transport step and the family wing.
"Why is it that when a party ends the guests still hang around for hours. " Harry whined
Narcissa snickered and added. " Just be glad there was no liquor involved or we still be up and able to eat breakfast. "
Harry looked horror stricken. " Nope, not going there, the first person that suggests I throw a party and says the words liquor at the same time will be sent to Antarctica to measure snowflakes. "
Narcissa could be heard laughing as she turned down the hall towards her rooms.
