Subject: Return of the King chapter 09

"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.
