Some of you were complaining that the last chapter was filler. Kinda but it was also important and I will keep doing these. Its necessary for the world building. We mentioned how Angel and Devil society works and i wanted to do the same for the Fallen. Again mentioned that Akeno is still a baby. Further making sure the timeline is correct. (i have a whole fucking chart about this shit)
The story is not all about the MC. The world moves even without him. And i want to show those moments. This one is also a bit of a filler depending on your definition of filler. To me its all important to plot and character development.

Raroia. Atoll in French Polynesia
Lily's Dream.
It was a gorgeous sunny day with very few clouds in the sky. A perfect day for a swim, dive or a little stroll on the sandy beach. But being the insane sadistic maniac that Harry was, he decided it would be a good idea to hold a class on the Supernatural world.
And Harry told the rest there would be no playing until they finish one of their supernatural classes. Dora and Sirius whined the loudest, that's why they were glued to their seats. The rest were smart enough to figure out the faster they finish the faster they can go out and have some fun.
"Okay Devils, what do we know about them?" Harry addressed the class. Which was everybody except Melinda and Hope. Narcissa was also here, she finished up a photo shoot and came right away. Like she was going to miss another day at the beach. Didn't matter that they were in the Caribbean's for a while. The beach is always fun.
Sirius cheerfully raised his hand "Evil sons of bitches who enslave people"
SMACK. SMACK
Andromeda and Ophelia smacked him over the head. Andy just because it was Sirius and Ophelia because she didn't want Tori to hear bad words. Harry is enough bad influence without adding someone else.
"Correct... but I was really hoping for a more comprehensive answer." Harry chuckled at them and then looked at Daphne. "Short notes"
Daphne nodded and recalled Harry's lessons " God is a bad leader, Heliel rebels and leaves Heaven, somehow turned himself into the polar opposite of Angel becoming the first Devil Lucifer.
He goes to the underworld with Lilith. Turns the strong demons that were already there into Devils. But realizes they won't be enough so he and Lilith create the 72 Pillar Clans. Those were the pure blood devils while the ones who were turned from Demon to Devil are considered Extra Clans. Like the great demon Meph.." Daphne stopped herself from saying his name. 'Damn got careless'
Seeing this Harry smiled "Good. You have been learning. Names have power. But you can say them here. We are on a boat and this has anti divination wards on it. Even if he feels us, he will only know our general direction, same with other gods. But its always a good habit to not name them. Very good Daphne"
"Yay Sis~" Tori cheered for her bestest big sister in the world
"Yo Boss Man" Dora raised her hand
"Yes Dora?"
"Why are the Fallen called The Watchers?"
That was a good question, some of the others have been wondering that as well.
"Because that's what they are. Angels whose job it was to watch over humanity. But they got too close, they saw humans enjoying themselves and figured why shouldn't they as well. Some drank a lot, some got greedy with the wealthy lives humans had, some fell to lust."
"Aha" Dora nodded "Then once the angels up in Heaven saw that, probably a few more fell due to God's decisions. Man this world is so complicated and that's only the Biblical Faction"
"Yes" her mother nodded "And we are most affected by them and the Celtic Pantheon. When will we cover them Harry?"
Harry scratched his head "Well i guess I can give the short notes about them right now, but I'll make a plan for them later. The Celtic Pantheon originated in Ireland. Tuatha Dé Danann.
Ever since their Chief God Draga died. Lugh the god of light has been the leader of the Celtic Pantheon. They mostly keep to themselves battling against the Fomorians. Think of them like giant monsters, every pantheon has their regional enemies, like Frost Giants for Norse or Titans for Olympus.
There were some interesting figures in the Celtic Mythology. One of my favourites is Cú Chulainn, the god Lugh decided to live as a human for one lifetime in this reincarnation he was known as Cú Chulainn.
He was taught by Scáthach, She is called the Queen or Witch of Dún Scáith, which translates to the Land of Shadows. Master of the Spear, Martial arts and Primordial Runes. One of the few humans who have managed to slay gods. A true God Slayer. Gáe Bolg was her cursed spear, that is a nasty piece of work, something I hope to never have to face"
Harry took a sip from his drink before continuing
"Another interesting one is Connla son of Cú Chulainn who surpassed his father in every way at the young age so much so that he forced his father to use his ultimate attack the Gáe Bolg just to survive the battle. That attack killed Connla, this was Cú Chulainn's greatest regret.
The Celtics are also famous for their Druids and healing. But that's enough about them. Lets continue from where we left off"

Studies continued Harry turned out to be a great teacher to the surprise of many, even though it was fun and interesting they got tired. Dora who had just finished Hogwarts practically fried her brain with these extra studies.
'What is wrong with these people!' she whined in her head ' They fight each other over petty reasons every few decades. And I thought the wizarding world was messed up'
Sirius was also having the same thoughts 'According to Harry the Biblical faction just keeps fucking around. Devils reincarnate humans, pissing off the Church so they kill the new reincarnated devils. Fallen kill high potential humans if they can't recruit them so that the devils don't get them. Heaven and Church attack the fallen once they cross the line since they are all 'traitors'. Its just stupid, its like they are taking turns attacking each other.'
"You will get used to it" Harry said casually while he typed on the keyboard created by Archive Magic
"Did you just read my mind?" Sirius looked at Harry "Its rude to do that you know"
Harry didn't even look at him "i also told you to work on your Occlumency Shields"
Sirius just sighed, there was no arguing with Harry "What do you mean I will get used to it, the situation is all over the place"
"The Biblical Faction has been fighting each other ever since Lucifer rebelled and the first Angel fell. That was millennia ago. It hasn't changed and it will never change. Just because its a somewhat cold war now doesn't mean the fighting is over. Somebody will definitely do something stupid and restart the war"
"So what are you planning to do about it?"
Harry smirked as he pulled out some cards from his pocket and held them between his fingers. On them were Viper's Logos. "Well obviously make a profit. Sell to both sides, loot the corpses."
He didn't have a reaction at first, but then just let out a sad smile 'A Merchant of Death. People who profit from the suffering and pain of war. its sad that Harry turned out this way, but nobody can convince him to change.'
"What do you plan to do if they go after you. I mean you are the one making things worse for both sides and profit from them. People like that are the most hated"
Harry lets out a confident smirk "Let them try"
Viper already has a ruthless reputation on the Black Market. Anyone who tries to scam him ends up poisoned and dies an excruciatingly painful death. Harry was always working on improving his defense and it was coming along nicely. 'Even if by some miracle their divination comes through and they find this place. I'll make the ward array so ridiculously strong that it will make Hogwarts milieu old charged wards look like child's play. And if it looks like they are going to break through those. I'll just pack up and go on my boat'

After a full day of messing around and just relaxing, everybody gathered around a campfire. The elves cooked the fish and crabs that were acquired during finishing and diving.
Salads were finished, the fish and crab meat were cooked to perfection and butter garlic bread was put on the grill to give it some texture. All in all it was a great meal.
"You are planning to go to France?" Narcissa asked with a confused expression. She had heard from the others what happened there the last time. Harry called a Code Black and they immediately retreated and he by some miracle managed to trick four of the most powerful beings in the Biblical Faction.
Harry just chuckled " Yep I need to pay a visit to the Delacour's"
"Harry you do know its not their fault right. They are just wizards and can't really protect you from people like the big shots you met. Hell it was an open conference, they could have found out from a number of sources" Sirius asks in a worried tone, he didn't want Harry turning into a Dark Lord
Melinda scoffed "Oh he knows"
Ophelia frowned, she was not following " If he knows why is he still going"
Hope was the one to shed some light on the situation "Why else, so he can scam them"
...
...
' ' ' ' ' ' 'Ohhhhh.. That makes sense' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
'That's just mean' Daphne couldn't help but muse on the situation 'Well, not like I can change that. Poor souls I wish you good luck'
~ France Delecour Manor.
With all the chaos with Grindelwald's zealots are causing, the Minister of France was having a rough time and couldn't properly enjoy the summer with his family.
Apoline was also busy, in such a chaotic situation there are always deals to be made. She had to support her husband to get as much political power as possible, even if he was already the Mininster, there are always families to win over.
That left Fluer and Gabriele at home. Fluer as the older was babysitting.
"Au clair de la Lune
Mon ami Pierrot
Prête-moi ta plume
Pour écrire un mot
Ma chandelle est morte
Je n'ai plus de feu
Ouvre-moi ta porte
Pour l'amour de Dieu!"
Little Gabriele was sitting around swinging her little legs while singing Au clair de la lune. (By the light of the moon). It was a well known French folk song from the 80's.
Fluer watched with a loving smile as her little sister sung. Even young veelas already show their talent for singing. Since the situation was a bit dangerous Fleur didn't go out much, only a few times to the beach in Nice. They of course went to a private beach. A bunch of young veelas in bikinis? That is a recipe for disaster.
But on her mind was also the young boy who arrived a few months ago. After that she met plenty of boys around her age, but none of them managed to even hold a proper conversation with her. Let alone ignore her like he had done.
'Hmm?' Fluer raised her head as she heard the flapping of wings. A mail owl delivered a letter. Naturally Fluer assumed it was from one of her friends. But she was shocked when she saw the name on the letter.
'Harry Potter'
