Chapter 5- Summer 1992 between year 1 and year 2
When Harry said by to the girls on the platform for the next month they all promised to keep in touch. Harry shadow traveled to both girls' homes quickly to install a ward that prevented the ministry from detecting any magic performed on their properties. He added the ill intent ward to Tonks house that he had placed on Hermione's. Now the girls could practice wand magic or powerful wandless magic over the summer.
Harry then shadow traveled to his house in Colorado Springs. Sam wasn't home yet so he just laid down for a nap. He was awoken by a soon to be Dr. Carter laying on top of him and doing very naughty things to him. Sam and Harry spent the next month together doing pretty much all of the fun stuff that they did last summer.
When the end of the month was up Harry told Sam that he was going to pick the girls up at the airport with his car, but he really shadow traveled to pick them up after parking his car a few minutes from his house. Hermione was going to use an aging pill for the rest of the summer so that Sam wouldn't suspect her true age. Harry felt kind of bad about not telling Sam the truth about their true ages but he figured that they would wait until at least their 7th year when they were 17 to tell her if they were serious enough by then.
The girls hit it off splendidly. Sam was partially enthralled with Fleur (she tended to have that effect on people). Hermione and Sam both had a huge love of learning and would talk about their educations for hours on end. Tonks and Sam found common ground in the fact that they both liked to exercise a lot. All of them worked out but those 2 really got into it.
Harry never seemed to have to work out too hard to stay sharp and fit after performing the animagus ritual. He would start the 3 witches on learning their animagus forms next school year.
The first time they all ended up sharing a bed Harry thought he had died and gone to heaven. He was definitely right about all 4 females having bisexual tendencies.
Write Orgy
The summer ended up going in much the same fashion as the first week. Sam was able to take some time off work and she was out for the summer at the academy. They all ended up taking a lot of trips to see the sights.
By day they toured and by night they had crazy sex. Harry was very glad that he had such good control over his body and that he had draconic stamina and strength (the girls were very glad too). There were a lot of clothes shopping trips, too many in Harry's opinion.
The girls all got new wardrobes and they picked out Harry's wardrobe for him. When the girls took him into Victoria's Secret Harry discovered that he had a new favorite store. He especially loved it because they would model their purchases for him. Harry personally thought that those clothes were the best investment he ever made.
Harry was fairly certain that they could live off the interest of his accounts without even denting the principle for the rest of their lives and still live comfortably. If they ever did run out of money there was always the philosopher stones feature of transmuting metals into gold. All in all Harry was loving life. He found that he enjoyed the summer a lot more than he enjoyed the school year. He got to see Sam and Fleur plus he got to see all of his girls in bikinis, which was every night thanks to the hot tub he had on his back patio (he was so learning to love hot tubs).
When it came time for school to start again everybody was sad to have to leave but they all would definitely be back for next summer.
Chapter 6- Year 2 1992-1993 School Year
When Harry arrived at the train station it appeared that the gateway onto the platform had been closed. He was glad he was a half hour early. He turned on his energy sight and started examining the barrier. It appeared to have been purposely closed by magic that didn't appear to be wizard type spells. While Harry was examining the non human wards Hermione and her parents came up behind him.
Harry said his hellos and explained the situation to the Grangers. Harry concluded that it was probably a house elf that did it. No other common magical creature was likely to come to kings cross and do this. Harry broke the ward and they all passed through the barrier. Harry and Hermione said goodbye to her parents and made their way to an empty compartment. Eventually they were joined by Tonks. Harry cast a notice me not charm on the door after the trio was back together again.
He just didn't feel like dealing with any visitors. He transfigured the bench seats into a bed and they all spent the train ride either napping or fooling around. When they arrived at the castle they made their way to the Ravenclaw table for the welcoming feast. Harry pretty much zoned out on everything the professors said.
He did note that there was another Weasel at Hogwarts. Harry wondered if the Weasley parents were rabbit animagi. From Harry's scan of the male weasel's mind last year Harry remembered that this one's name is Ginny and that her parents had read her bedtime stories of the boy who lived. He also remembered that she acted like a stalker. Harry didn't even bother using telepathy on the girl because he didn't want to see what she was thinking about him. He did make a note to start discretely performing wandless diagnostic spells on his food to test for potions.
It wouldn't do to get dosed with a love potion. Harry also noted that Gilderoy Lockhart was their new defense teacher. Harry had read the man's books and found them to be completely ridiculous. The man acted like a disgrace. Harry was starting to suspect that Dumbles was purposefully dumbing down the education of Hogwarts students.
There had been very few potions masters since Harry's parents' teacher, Horace Slughorn, retired and Snape took over. The man was such a horrible teacher that it turned most students off from the subject. Snape also perpetuated bad blood between the houses by showing favoritism and taunting and intimidating other students into messing up their potions.
Harry was quite glad that the grades didn't actually matter in the long run. The only thing that mattered was owl scores and NEWT scores. Employers never saw individual class grades, just NEWTs and OWLs. You didn't even have to take a class to be allowed to take the tests. Harry was actually surprised that none of the teachers noticed the disparity between his other class grades and his potions grades. Harry suspected that they had long gotten used to Snape's behavior. Dumbles was probably covering up for his so called spy.
It didn't bother Harry too much because he was still the top of the class. Even with his abysmal potions grades no other student could catch up to him because of his perfect grades in all other subjects.
Classes weren't really different at all except when it came to Lockhart's class. When the man gave them a quiz over the reading material in the books Harry just started writing Lockhart is an
ass for all of his answers. Apparently when the supposed professor came to Harry's answers he had the good sense not to point it out to the class. When the man brought out Cornish pixies Harry lost all hope for any substantial DADA education.
When the man lost his wand and started cowering behind his desk and eventually fled into his office Harry locked the man's office door and dispatched the pixies. He then started teaching the class the spell he used to get rid of the pixies. Harry and Hermione spent the rest of the class helping the other students learn and perform the spell.
For the rest of their classes in DADA Harry would have the castle lock the stupid man in his office and then he and Hermione would tutor the class in the curriculum that they were supposed to learn using the books they had learned from. By skipping most if not all of the theory they ended up going at a rate that allowed them to finish second and third year material by the end of the year.
Lockhart was obviously too embarrassed to mention his inability to get out of his office and none of the students complained. Towards the beginning of the year a lot of the girls had a crush on the man but after seeing his abysmal skills most quickly realized that the man was a fraud. Hermione was convinced out of her crush after reading his books during the summer by Tonks.
When the trio was walking the halls one night on their way back to the common room Harry heard the hissing speech of a serpent. In order for it to be that loud it was most likely Sal's basilisk that Harry had taken to calling Sally during his visits. Harry quickly pulled out the Marauder's map and found that there were no students in the vicinity besides Tom Riddle Jr.
Harry's blood ran cold when he read that name. That was Voldemort's birth name if Slasher the Goblin's info was right, and it usually was. The trio made themselves invisible using a founder's era spell that left no distortion patterns, like the disillusionment charm did. Harry cast the parsel spell on their eyes that would protect them from Sally's stare.
They made their way down the corridor on the second floor to near a girl's bathroom where they observed Sally petrifying Mrs. Norris. Then to their surprise the newest Weasel at Hogwarts strung the cat up on a wall sconce by it's tail and wrote in blood the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir Beware.
Harry felt the curse scar in his center vibrating like it did when he got to close to the possessed Quarrel last year. He turned on his energy sight and noticed that there was a significant portion of dark magic emanating from a book shaped object in the girl's pocket. A trail of energy went up into the girl. This object was obviously what was possessing her.
Sally had proceeded back into the bathroom. Harry was sure that she was just playing along and pretending to follow Riddle's orders so that the possessed being wouldn't attack her. It wouldn't
be long before the students began coming this way and Harry sure as hell didn't want to be here when they found the petrified cat.
The weasel began walking down the hallway. The trio followed her invisible with silenced footsteps. She stopped in a deserted corridor and appeared to come out of her possession. Sure enough when Harry observed the girl with his energy sight the energy tendril was no longer connecting her with the book.
Harry snuck up behind her and stunned her. He used his telekinetic abilities to levitate the book out of her pocket. It was the diary of Tom Riddle. Harry used telepathy to view how the girl came across the book. He watched after she found it in her things after a trip to flourish and blotts. Harry viewed the memory of flourish and blotts and watched carefully as Lucius Malfoy slipped the diary into her things.
Harry watched how the girl began writing in the diary and it wrote back. Stupid girl was Harry's only thought. The girl had pretty much no brains. She was brainwashed into the perfect boy who lived stalker.
Harry and the girls made their way down into the chamber with the diary floating in front of them. If this object was what he thought it was then a whole lot of things started to make sense. When they got to the chamber Harry levitated the diary to the far corner of the chamber. Sally confirmed that she had just played along.
Harry's extensive research into soul magics lead Harry to believe that the diary was a Horcrux. Harry taught the girls a diagnostic charm to see if it was indeed a Horcrux. Harry stood on the other side of the room while they performed it. When it came up positive Harry had them perform the charm on him. When it came up positive as detecting the spells used to contain a Horcrux they all had to use their occlumency skills to keep themselves calm.
The good news was that the soul fragment in Harry's scar wasn't touching his soul. Since Harry put the magic blocking shield that Dumbles put on his core on the scar it would never be able to posses him. The bad news was obviously that Harry had a piece of a dark lords soul attached to his forehead.
Harry and the girls discussed the situation back in the RoR. They stored the diary in the chamber where no one could get to it. Ginny hadn't been possessed long enough to still be able to speak parseltongue. The way they saw the situation Harry had 2 options.
They could relocate the Horcrux to another part of his body using his metamorph abilities and try to remove it by removing the skin it was contained in using magical blades. This option had a lot of risks to it. Option 1 they decided to use as a last resort, instead going with option 2.
Option 2 consisted of finding a way to completely erase all of the corrupt soul fragment. Basically the soul was like a hard drive. Voldemort's soul was like a corrupted virus infested
hard drive. If they could erase the fragment's memory so to speak it would pass through Harry's shields that his mother had set up for him and integrate with his own. It would be completely new soul material.
This had the advantage of Harry gaining a significant boost in magical power and a boost in memory capabilities. Essentially his hard drive would be a lot bigger. Harry had a nice long discussion with Sal back at his manor over this new development.
Riddle probably found Sal's early research into Horcrux devices when he was researching ways to become immortal. The later research was left at the manor. In the early research Sal had postulated that there would be a better chance of success if 7 Horcrux devices were created. It was the nature of the Horcrux enchantments that would stabilize the configuration.
Unfortunately it wasn't until his later work that Sal discovered the part where you go insane the more Horcrux devices you create. They figured that Riddle had created 6 devices with the 7th being his roaming spirit.
It would take Harry several years of research but he thought of a way to track the soul fragments. Every soul had a unique energy signature or frequency. Harry wanted to construct a satellite network that would track those frequencies, it would take much work.
During a quidditch match that Harry and the girls watched a very interesting thing happened. One of the bludgers started to attack Harry. Using his energy sight and the x-ray feature of his contacts he saw the caster of the enchantments on the modified bludger. It was being controlled by a house elf hiding beneath the stands. Harry sent a mental command out to the castle to send a group of house elves from the kitchens to subdue and interrogate the little bugger.
After Harry dodged the bludger for a few seconds Tonks vaporized the thing with a blasting spell. After that the game resumed with a replacement bludger. Harry observed the game while listening to the castle's report of the interrogation. The other elves apparently recognized the elf as Dobby, the insane Malfoy family elf.
He apparently thought he was helping Harry by trying to get him sent home, away from the danger at Hogwarts. Harry instructed the other elves to watch Dobby carefully if he came back on school grounds again to make sure he didn't pull any stunts like that again. So it appeared that the Malfoys tortured their elves into insanity.
A few weeks later during a dueling club that Lockhart was making a mockery of Harry got suspicious that Dumbles knew that Harry had a Horcrux on his forehead. The incident that aroused his suspicions was when he dueled Draco Malfoy. Harry's phenomenal dragon hearing caught Snape coaching Malfoy into using the serpentsortia spell to summon a snake.
Harry banished the snake back to where it came from with the counter spell. The incident was too coincidental with the chamber of secret debacle. Harry was sure that Dumbles knew Harry
was a parselmouth and that he was a Horcrux. Of course it would make sense that Dumbles would have run diagnostics on Harry's scar when Harry was a baby.
The fact that Dumbles knew those diagnostic spells made Harry begin to question whether or not Dumbles longevity was really natural or if he was dabbling in the same soul magic Riddle was. Harry decided that when he got a method of tracking Riddle's soul fragments through magical signatures Harry would be doing the same for Dumbles.
So obviously Dumbles pet DE wanted the whole school to think Harry was the heir of Slytherin. Luckily Harry wasn't stupid enough to fall for the trap. The really funny thing is that Harry was actually the true heir of Slytherin. Harry was pretty damn sure though that Dumbles didn't know that. The Slytherin line was through his mother whom nobody had ever tested because they assumed she was muggleborn.
Dumbles probably thought that the Horcrux transferred some of Riddle's powers to Harry. It probably would have if Harry hadn't transferred the magic suppressor shield to it. Harry was more and more thankful for his personal ward that cloaked his real self.
Harry and the girls started to work on the tracking satellite. The first step was to be able to make mundane technology work in a magic saturated environment or just near magic in general. They did their work at the labs at Queen Mary's.
To do this they had to have a little better understanding of exactly what magic was. They knew that it was a high energy that permeated everywhere. They knew it was much more energetic than regular electricity because of transfiguration and conjuration. Mass to energy conversions and vice versa that wizards and witches routinely perform would take mass amounts of electricity to do. Mundane super colliders couldn't yet reach the energy levels required to make the conversions permanent.
The fact that wizards and witches could do it so casually meant the energy was awesome indeed. It only seemed to affect electronics when they were turned on. So it obviously had something to do with the electricity interacting with the energy.
Harry and the girls assumed that some parts of the principle of electromagnetic induction could apply to the energy too. If the principle held for this energy too that would explain the problem pretty well. A rapidly changing electromagnetic field induced electricity into a conductor. If a rapidly changing magical field (a spell) induced energy into the conductors (the circuitry in the electronics) then the circuits would overload because they couldn't carry that much energy.
The trio was able to confirm their suspicions by using equipment shielded against electromagnetic pulses and rated to handle extreme amounts of energy. The equipment still ended up burning out because the energy was too much but they did measure the surge before hand.
The solution that the group ended up coming up with came in 2 forms. They added a version of the shield that was used in Harry's ritual chamber in his trunk. That kept any outside energy from flowing into the chamber and vice versa until the door was open. So in essence it would a completely sealed container against higher levels of energy within the field. They would need to erect the ward in a lower energy density environment but that wasn't too difficult. That just meant anywhere but Hogwarts and other magical dwellings.
The second part was that the power source needed to be modified. Magic saturated environments didn't have power lines running through them. Harry was pretty sure he could get them to work with the new ward but it would be too much trouble. Batteries would only last so long. The answer came in one of Harry's favorite dueling spells. It allowed the caster to shoot lightning out of their wand or in the case of wandless magic their hand. Luckily it was extremely obscure, as were most founders spells.
The spell converted the magical energy directly to Alternating Current. It had to be stepped down to usable power levels but once that was done it worked fine. They now could use technology in magic rich environments.
This work ended up taking up the rest of second year. They ended up finishing up first in the class again. Around the end of the year the elves alerted him that Dobby was on the premises again. Out of curiosity and a little wariness Harry investigated. It turns out Lucius Malfoy was skulking about the school (probably trying to figure out what happened to the diary).
Invisible and silent Harry conjured a cow manure covered shirt and levitated it over Malfoy's head. Malfoy started freaking out and threw the shirt off himself. Dobby who was standing behind Malfoy caught it. This meant he was free. Harry also decided to test out one of his newly modified spells. It was a variation of the magical suppressor ward that Dumbles had cast on him. The difference was it only activated on mental command of the caster. It also compressed so fast that it collapsed the core of the victim rapidly. So rapidly they went off like a small bomb. The second spell he cast was a soul tracker so that he would also be able to track Malfoy.
Considering his good deed of the day done Harry headed off to find the girls while instructing the Hogwarts elves to offer Dobby employment here. Harry figured that it would always be a good idea to keep an eye on a very loyal insane house elf. He was sure he could find a good use for him in the future, maybe as an assassin. Elves were powerful little buggers.
Towards the end of the year Harry finally got around to and remembered to have a chat with the sorting hat using the school. Dumbles had a bad habit (bad for him anyway) of saying his thoughts out loud when he thought he was alone in his office. This meant that the sorting hat pretty much heard everything that Dumbles said or anything he plotted.
The sorting hat was able to tell Harry all sorts of interesting things about Dumbles. It turns out that the reason he was able to get so close to Grindewald is because they were good friends. Dumbles got close to him as a friend and then literally stabbed the man in the back. Dumbles refused to ever discuss the story. The sheep of the wizarding world took his silence as permission to make it out as a glorious wizards duel.
Harry asked the sorting hat if Dumbles had created a Horcrux. The hat didn't know for sure but Dumbles spent a lot of time with his wizarding portrait, more time than was needed with it by far. If it was Dumble's Horcrux then it was a good one because wizarding portraits are a small part of the wizard or witches essence. They basically were a watered down copy of the wizards soul.
They didn't experience emotions (basically the golem spells Harry used). If there was a little bit of extra soul in the portrait who would notice. The hat told Harry the reason that Dumbles trusted Snape so much. Dumbles made Snape swear a wizard's oath to be loyal to Dumbles and Dumbles only and to do anything he says.
Then Harry learned why his parents were killed. Dumbles had engineered a fake prophecy which he then used Legilimency to force an interviewing divinations professor into giving. Snape had been ordered by Dumbles to give part of the fake prophecy to Riddle. Riddle had then killed his parents. Harry had very little faith in divinations.
To find out that Dumbles and Snape had orchestrated his parent's deaths, Harry was pissed. Harry made a vow to himself that Snape and Dumbles would die by his hand. The girls were really good at helping Harry deal with the emotions of the new revelations.
Apparently Dumbles couldn't understand what happened with the Philosopher's stone incident that he had orchestrated pretty much exactly as Harry suspected. He also couldn't understand what happened with the Chamber of Secrets. Dumbles knew that it wasn't Hagrid the first time. He wanted a pawn. Plus Dumbles wanted to keep the friendly half giant from finishing his education because Hagrid was as powerful as Dumbles.
The man had a core of a size to keep in proportion with his body. Dumbles didn't want competition. Harry took the opportunity to steal Dumbles pawn out from underneath him. Dumbles hardly ever saw Hagrid, only when he needed him to do a task. Harry got Hagrid to swear a wizard's oath not to disclose any information that Harry gives to him pertaining to education.
Harry was able to adapt a personal ward like his own that specifically hid what he taught Hagrid. Really it was like a form of occlumency from external Legilimency. Harry got Hagrid a wand from Knockturn Alley that seemed to match him pretty well. Over the next few years Harry would teach Hagrid enough to pass his OWLs and NEWTs. Unfortunately actually taking the test would have to wait until Dumbles was dead and Hagrid's name was cleared.
It should be pretty easy to prove that it was Riddle who opened the chamber all those years ago if Harry pointed out to people that Riddle later became Voldemort. Harry couldn't do that now because he wasn't supposed to know Voldemort's birth name. If all else failed Hagrid could move to another country. The United States had very fair laws towards other races.
Well very fair was a relative term. They were better than the British in that respect but probably not as good as their mundane counterparts. It was coming up on summer vacation so Harry gave Hagrid a little present. Harry gave him an all expenses paid trip to the dragon preserve in Romania where he dropped off Norbert. He told Hagrid it was for educational purposes so the secret of where he was going would be protected from Dumbles.
It was Tonks 7th year so she would graduate at the end of term. Dumbles had approached her about joining his order of the phoenix. Harry thought it would be good to have a spy in their ranks in case they didn't have meetings in his office. She accepted his offer. Harry had managed to convince Tonks that working for the ministry in any capacity as a known metamorph would be a bad idea.
Instead he hired her to start setting up a company for him called Star Enterprises. It would take her some time but the company would be a technology manufacturing and distribution firm. Some of the technologies Harry was going to be building for his satellite were going to be very profitable if employed in the right way. He would use his James Evans persona as the C.E.O.
Harry had Tonks acquire facilities in the U.K. and the U.S. She was also to buy a great deal of shares in companies using telecommunications and computer technologies. Telecommunications were going to go up on their own pretty soon and computer technologies would too. The computer technologies Harry figured he could directly benefit from by using any advances in computer designs for his new satellite system.
Tonks official address was actually going to be in a Diagon Alley flat for the wizards and one of Harry's other properties in muggle London for the muggles. In actuality she was going to be living wherever Harry and Hermione were. This meant she would probably be taking a reusable portkey that Harry made for her to the RoR.
That summer Harry took all his girls on a Caribbean cruise for a month. Harry was in heaven because most of the cruise was either spent with the girls tanning in bikinis or everybody naked in the cabin doing naughty things. Harry was pretty sure that his summers were just getting better and better.
For the last 2 months of the summer they all stayed at the house in Colorado Springs to be close to Sam who occasionally had to work. Harry had offered to hire her at his new company but she declined because she enjoyed her current job. Harry figured there had to be something more important than deep space radar telemetry going on but he let it pass. He was keeping secrets
from her and she was for him. Maybe when he graduated and they all got more serious he would press the issue but not yet.
Chapter 7- Year 3 1993-1994 School Year
A 13 year old Harry and Hermione got on board the train on September 1st later than they usually did. They ended up sitting in a compartment with a sleeping Remus Lupin. Harry and Hermione both knew a great deal about the man from his parent's journals, which Harry had shared with the girls.
He looked like he just was recovering from the full moon. Harry would need to study Lycanthropy at a later date. From the looks of it using energy sight it was a corruption of soul magic. It was either a naturally occurring affliction or maybe some botched ritual to gain increased strength, senses, and healing. Maybe the person that performed the ritual got bit by a wolf during the ritual. If he could work out the method to wipe Riddle's soul fragment then he might be able to deal with Lycanthropy. It would be analogous to writing antivirus software.
The wizarding community was abuzz with news of the escape from Azkaban of Sirius. Harry thought it kind of funny that everybody thought he would come after Harry. If he did it would only be to see him, not to kill him. Sirius Black may have been many things but traitor to his friends he was not. No it seemed the crime that Sirius had committed was manslaughter.
Thirteen muggles had gotten killed in Sirius' revenge on Peter. In the mundane world that would have gotten him a long time in prison too. When they were partway to the school the train stopped and the lights went off. Harry and Hermione felt a chill come over them. These were textbook examples of dementors. Harry hit Lupin with a deep sleeping charm (he couldn't have Lupin seeing him doing anything powerful).
Harry pulled out Gryffindor's sword and enlarged it. He charged it up with energy. Hermione was ready to conjure a patronus. When their compartment door came open by the pull of a bony hand Harry struck out at the creature. He impaled it with the sword that looked like a bladed version of a light saber from star wars. The creature let out the most ear piercing screech that anybody on the train had ever heard and promptly vaporized.
Harry and Hermione started conjuring patroni. Harry used the sword while Hermione used her wand. They sent them in multiple directions. Within about a minute every dementor was floating away as fast as they could from the train.
Harry went up and got the driver of the train to get going again. The prefects went up and down the train making sure everybody was alright. When they were on their way again Harry reversed the deep sleeping charm on Lupin, but the man still slept on. He must have been very tired from the full moon.
During the welcoming feast Dumbles talked about how the dementors were here to keep the school safe from Sirius. Harry suspected that they might be part of some plot that Dumbles cooked up this year to test Harry or mold his weapon. Harry would have the hat keep it's "ears" open.
Harry's year was going pretty normally for him. He was continuing to help Hagrid with his schooling. The man was a powerhouse. Harry was also slowly teaching Hagrid how to be cunning. Everybody expected Hagrid to be a bumbling oaf with absolutely no finesse. There was nothing more dangerous than a wolf in sheep's clothing. A prime example of this was Dumbles. The man was hailed as the greatest light wizard since Merlin but was probably on the level of evil of Voldemort.
He didn't go for random acts of torture and killing he used planned plotting and torture. He planned to torture Harry for his entire life. Voldemort just killed people quickly after a few minutes of torture or at worst days and weeks. Dumbles was on the order of years.
The most interesting part of teaching Hagrid for Harry was teaching the giant stealth. There was no better effect than having that massive mountain of a man being able to sneak up on somebody. Harry was finding that Hagrid was actually pretty intelligent once given a chance. He was apparently wrong in his initial assessment. It was probably the fact that others had been manipulating him most of his life that caused him to act as he did.
He had been under Dumbles thumb since he started Hogwarts. Harry eventually started teaching him what he knew about Voldemort as part of his education. When Harry eventually got to the part about him being Tom Riddle Hagrid was livid. Harry told Hagrid the headmaster knew that the person who framed him became the dark lord Voldemort but decided to keep that to himself so he could manipulate Hagrid.
Since that day Hagrid was no longer Dumbledore's man he was his own man and Harry's spy. With the personal ward protecting his mind Hagrid was the perfect spy.
Harry was working on a few special projects this year. The first project he was working on was the communication system between his satellite and himself. He didn't want to use radio frequencies because they could be intercepted. Another reason not to use radio frequencies was because they couldn't penetrate the high energy areas like Hogwarts.
The real trick to this type of technology was to convert a radio signal to a "magical" energy frequency and transmit using that signal and then convert it back at it's destination. The key ended up being in the communications mirrors that Harry gave to the Granger's and Fleur. Harry was able to use the charms schema from those mirrors to combine with the lightning spell to accomplish his goals.
The mirrors worked by dialing into different frequencies for different mirrors. Harry made it so that the satellite and his control station communicated by dialing each others frequencies. The control station converted the electrical signal to magical frequency signal then transmitted it to the satellite where it was converted back to electrical signal that the satellite could process. The process worked in reverse when the satellite communicated back.
Harry could also connect any machine in the world with this method. From what he could tell he wasn't sure that there was a distance anywhere in the galaxy that was too far to communicate by this method. The distance the message could be translated across space-time was only limited by the power. The current arithmetical equation was set for anywhere within a radius of the distance of the Milky Way lengthwise (I think about 100k light years). It would have been too much of a pain to try to downgrade the power so Harry left it there.
Another project that Harry was working on was a Harness of sorts that would allow the wearer to fly as if they were flying on a broom, without the broom. The harness would actually consist of 8 bracelets and 1 belt. They were made out of carved basilisk fang wrapped in shed basilisk skin for durability and comfort.
A bracelet went around each wrist and ankle along with each upper arm and upper thigh. The belt would provide the last needed support. Harry inscribed each of the pieces with the runes used for brooms and cast the charms used for brooms. They wouldn't be racing brooms but they would go a decent speed. Like brooms they would be controlled by the wizard or witches core.
They were the type of design meant for quick acceleration. They would protect the girls in a duel by allowing them to avoid curses much easier. Instead of staying down or using more energy to get back up the conventional way when they fell in a duel they could use the harness to do it. Harry didn't need it with his draconic reflexes but it would still be easier. Plus he would love to fly without a broom.
It was during one of Harry's discussions with Fleur that he finally decided to do something about one of her assertions. She kept insisting that he must be part veela in order for him to be able to keep up with all 4 women. Harry decided to brew a potion that would tell him his complete family tree back about 500 years or so. He didn't need it to go back further because those potions were more complex. The veela blood would have had to come into the line in the last few generations in order to still be active without more veela breeding into the line.
When he showed the results of the tree to Fleur he wasn't surprised to note that apparently she was right. His maternal grandmother had been adopted after her family was killed during WWII. The potion showed her family name that she was born into. It was a veela family that had been thought to have died out during Grindewald's campaign.
His grandmother had never known about the wizarding world so never knew her heritage. Harry was curious as to why his aunt Petunia wasn't veela but Fleur set him straight. "Arry ze veela
traits can skip any number of descendants at seemingly random intervals when it's not mixed with pure veela blood."
Harry felt a lot better about not telling Sam that he was ten years old the first time they had sex with each other. Apparently veela sexually matured at around age 10 being a different species and all. Apparently because male veela were so rare they often had huge harems. Harry was completely satisfied with his 4 girls. Due to his heavy training in occlumency and mediation Harry had been able to restrain his charm up until now. Fleur started training him how to unleash the charm.
It also helped to explain his dragon form further. Female veela had a firebird form; male veela usually had a flying fire form that traveled through shadow. Harry was helping Tonks, who had recently been taking to being called Nym by her lovers, and Hermione complete their animagus forms. They had started at the end of last year. Nym naturally made more progress thanks to her metamorph talents but Hermione wasn't far behind.
Nym was a Bengalese tiger that could change her color to blend into the background which everyone assumed was a natural extension of her metamorph abilities and Hermione was an African lioness. Fleur's form was naturally her fire bird.
During Harry's veela training, which he shadow traveled to France for, he had gotten to know the rest of the Delacour family. Fleur's younger sister, Gabriel, obviously had a crush on him. Harry could smell the sister's all over each other, in a sexual way. Apparently veela didn't hold taboos about incest like the mundane race did. Wizards weren't that against it either, obviously.
The veela only really were concerned about incest when it came to procreation. The wizards were prime examples of what happened when it was used in procreation too heavily. The veela practiced as a purely pleasurable activity.
Harry catalogued some lessons he learned from his recent experiences as very important parts of his psyche. He could not apply his set of morals and code to live by to other species. It could only be applied when another species or another being harmed his family, friends, species, or other species under his protection.
Harry catalogued at least 3 species that he was descended from that he could think of. The mundanes or muggles would be one species. The mundane society didn't have magic to make them stick with the old way. They were driven by the need to improve their quality of life by finding new innovations. They had their prejudices and corruptions just like any other society. The main problem is that they thought they were the only intelligent species on the planet, and they were not.
The second species he was descended from would be veela. He didn't know too much about the veela species right now but they seemed to be rather small and isolated like the wizards. The
third species Harry was descended from would be wizards. The wizards were mixed with muggles every once in a while. Harry strongly suspected that the wizarding species was descended from a much greater species.
His reasons for this conclusion were many and small by themselves, but when combined they lead to logical conclusions. The higher dimensional mathematics used in Arithmancy was a major reason. The complexity of the spells were either done using technology or the being doing them without technology had a much higher brain power than anything currently on the planet earth.
The concentrations of inbreeding with pure wizarding blood today mixed with a small amount of mundane didn't allow whatever race the wizards used to be to show too much. Harry suspected that the founder's were the last of that race, and now Harry through them was the newest reemerge. He decided to someday find out what potential was held within his genome.
The most excitement that had happened so far in the year had come during a quidditch match with Gryffindor Vs. Hufflepuff. The dementors had come swarming into the pitch. Harry and Hermione didn't use patroni because it would be difficult to explain how they knew such advanced charms if they didn't have too. Luckily Dumbles chased the dementors away.
About a week later Sirius broke into the Gryffindor tower when the students were at dinner. Harry slipped out of the great hall during the night, which is where Dumbles made everybody sleep, to find Sirius and find out what was going on. Harry had added a charm to the marauder's map that would zoom the map in on a stated subject.
Harry was thinking about using similar charms that are used on the map in the satellite to have 2 methods to track beings. One method would track them by their signature frequency and the other would use the map charms to track their mind. The second could be blocked using occlumency like the possessed Quarrel did when Riddle was dormant in him or the same with Ginny. The first method could be blocked using a personal ward like most of Harry's friends and Harry himself used. But to block both methods would require knowing about them or extreme luck or paranoia.
The nice part about the Horcrux is that the piece of soul inside the device isn't aware of the outside world. It wouldn't be "awake" enough to block the methods and the spirit form of Riddle that's floating around would need a corporeal body around to anchor the ward to without majorly reworking the arithmetical equations. It would also require power that the spirit didn't have to control the wards.
Harry told the map to find Sirius Black. He was apparently in the shrieking shack. Harry shadow traveled outside the school and quickly made his way through the shadows to the shack. When he got there he found Sirius looking much worse for the wear for being in Azkaban. "Hello Sirius, what are you doing here?" Sirius appeared startled that Harry found him but
quickly recovered. "Harry I didn't betray your parents." "I know you didn't Sirius, but you still killed all of those mundanes when you killed the rat."
"Harry, how do you know so much about what happened?" "First I want and unbreakable vow that our conversation here doesn't get told to anyone without my consent." When Harry was satisfied with the vow and had placed a small personal ward over the information he proceeded to tell Sirius about the journals. When Sirius explained that he was after Pettigrew, after seeing him with the Weasley family in the Prophet, Harry immediately opened the map and did a search for him. He found him in Hagrid's hut. Sirius also explained about Pettigrew actually killing the mundanes.
Sirius seemed excited that he could get his name cleared now. Unfortunately Harry had to quickly disabuse him of that notion. He explained a little bit of Dumbles manipulations. Dumbles obviously knew that Sirius was innocent and didn't want him free. He wanted control of Harry and thought he still had it. Harry explained about his emancipation.
"Ok Sirius here is the plan." "You are going to go live at Potter Manor for the foreseeable future." "If Dumbles gets you you'll likely be imprisoned to use as a pawn." "You'll be his trump card to use in case I ever get mouthy." "He'll assume you can get custody of me and he'll then reveal that you're innocent."
"You can recover at Potter Manor and then I'll acquire you a mundane identity." "You should probably get used to the idea of living and working in the mundane world for a while." "My suggestion is to get a degree at a mundane university." "I have one in particular that you might like."
When Riddle and Dumbles were dead it would be easy to deal with proving Sirius innocent. Harry owned the Daily Prophet. Right now he would use his magical seal which could not be falsified as the owner to send letters with directions on how to handle a few situations. They would run stories on how Sirius had never received a trial and had never even been questioned with Veritruserum or at all. By using the angle that Sirius was a pureblood and pointing out the fact that only an idiot would use the most suspected target as their secret keeper it should put a lot of pressure on Fudge and Dumbles.
The Potter's had never once said that Sirius was the secret keeper. Harry took Sirius to Potter Manor using a portkey. He by no means would tell Sirius all of his secrets at once, just because he was innocent. Sirius was still irresponsible. Hopefully that many years in Azkaban taught him the error of his ways. Being rash and impulsive would land you in a world of trouble.
It looked like Pettigrew was getting ready to make a getaway based on the fact that he was in a flower pot in Hagrid's hut. Harry stunned the little bugger while he cast all of the charms he had cast on Malfoy senior. Harry suspected that since his current hideout was found out by Sirius
and it was likely that it would be discovered that he was alive he would try to find Riddle's spirit to resurrect him.
With the soul tracker on him he would be in perfect position to lead Harry to Riddle. The roaming spirit couldn't be killed before his Horcrux devices were but he could be tracked and trapped. The ability to instantly kill the traitor at will would be of great help too. When he was done placing the charms Harry turned the pot on it's side so that he could escape when he awoke.
It got towards the end of the school year when Harry listened to the sorting hat's report of Dumbles latest plan. It appeared that he instructed Snape to brew a faulty batch of wolfsbane and then in the next few days after Remus transformed to let slip that Remus was a werewolf. It seemed like Dumbles perpetuated the rumor that the DADA position was cursed by Voldemort to cover for his manipulations for that position.
After the incident was over Harry put a tracking charm on Lupin. When the school year was over Harry tracked Remus to a shabby apartment. It looked like Remus was conserving his funds saved up from his Hogwart's position as long as he could.
Naturally he was very surprised to see Harry. Dumbles lead him to believe that it wasn't safe for him to contact Harry and even when he did he didn't receive a reply. Harry explained about the mail wards. Harry got an unbreakable vow from Remus to not divulge secrets. Werewolves seemed to be naturally immune to Legilimency.
The human brain was essentially a machine, an extremely advanced computer. It had electrical conductors like any computer. The pathways were too small to handle very much power at all. Legilimency was essentially the ability to project the mind using the high energy inherent in magical beings to use the Legilimencer's brain, a machine, to interact with another mind, a machine.
It's how wizards and witches controlled brooms. Their minds controlled the brooms. A broom after all was nothing but a high energy machine. This concept gave Harry some ideas for a side project next school year. Legilimency allowed wizards to read the interface between the soul and the mind when the memories were turned from low energy electricity to high energy memories which were then stored in the soul. Lycanthropy as Harry hypothesized was an infection in the soul. It must scramble the code at the interface sufficiently enough that the legilimencer's cipher to read the other code didn't match up.
Harry then explained to Remus about Sirius. Harry gave an unbreakable vow that he was telling the truth. That seemed to convince Lupin. Harry offered Remus a job at Star Enterprises. It didn't take much arm twisting for the man to accept. Werewolves were severely discriminated against in the wizarding world and it was kind of hard to keep a job in the mundane world when you needed several days off for the full moon a month.
Harry explained that Remus would be working under Tonks. Harry convinced Remus to move into Potter Manor. The only people currently using it were the elves and Sirius. He could help his old friend recover and the facilities at Potter Manor were top notch. Harry also explained that over the next few years he wanted Remus to get a degree in science with at least a minor in business. That would be his job for the next few years along with coordinating personnel with Tonks.
Remus would be in charge of personnel and help with distribution. Harry wanted to eventually hire werewolves and muggleborns. Over the last year Nym had gotten facilities together in both the UK and US. This next year Harry was going to design their first product. Between Tonks, Remus, and Sirius they would handle hiring staff to manufacture and distribute their product.
The propulsion system for Harry's satellite was going to be the basis for the first product. The girls had also apparently started on a top secret project this year that they weren't going to tell him about until it was finished. They wanted it to be a surprise. After Remus was settled at Potter Manor Harry headed off with the girls to stay with Sam for the summer. Sirius was amazed that his soon to be 14 year old godson had 4 girlfriends and that they all knew about it. Sirius actually fainted when he found out that not only did they just know about it but they were lovers with each other too.
That summer like the previous one just seemed to be better than the last one. Harry set up a wireless connection between Sam's computer at his house in Colorado Springs and the one he carried with him in his trunk. She was amazed because the technology for it was light years ahead of anything currently out there. Harry just pointed out that it was one of the perks of having a genius boyfriend. Unfortunately because it was so advanced compared to anything out there it would have to go at speeds the current web was capable of going at.
Harry's investments in computer technology had been paying off. The additional funding and support for their research had pushed the engineers to build better and better processors and other computer components. Harry was pretty sure that by the time he had all of the components for his satellite system built that the computer technology would be sufficiently advanced for his controls. It was almost there. He just wanted it to be more portable and to work faster. It would be a lot of data to track everybody in the world. It would just take a lot of time to crunch.
Harry's investments in telecommunications technology were paying off but for a different reason. The companies had been growing as cellular phones had been growing in popularity. Harry's fortune had gone from 300 million pounds to 450 million pounds between all of his investments. The goblins couldn't believe such a large profit was made. They usually didn't invest too much in the mundane world, probably because they didn't understand it very well. Harry suspected that part of the new growth for the companies was the goblins following his example of where to invest.
Harry was currently working on graduate school work at uni. He was just finishing up his masters this past year and would soon begin working on his doctorate. He was helping Sam with her dissertation. She was doing it on wormhole theory. Back when Harry first started studying the "magical" world he had been very curious as to what apparition and portkeys were. From the little known wormhole theory and the arithmetical equations of apparition and portkey travel he was able to make some educated guesses.
Apparition was the wizard opening a wormhole from one point to another. Naturally occurring wormholes were infinitely small at the throat. Wizards were able to make a small amount of negative matter to line the throat of the wormhole to open it enough to fit through. Unfortunately they weren't powerful enough to open it enough to fit through with their complete body dimensions and maintain control over the wormhole. Luckily wizard physiology allowed for the wizard to manipulate their molecules on a subconscious level using their energy cores. Part of the apparition spell that was powered by their core elongated wizards bodies to fit through the wormhole.
This was why wizards described this method of travel as being squeezed through a long tube. It also explained why side along aparating someone else took more energy. The person who aparated powered the spell to elongate the passenger's body. Because of this muggles could be side along aparated but it took quite a bit more energy to stabilize the molecular manipulation than it would side along aparating someone who was magical.
A portkey worked on the principle of quantum entanglement. With quantum entanglement 2 waves in coherence or that are in phase and vibrate at the same frequency will mimic each other no matter the spatial separation. Once 2 waves are entangled then no matter if one wave is on one side of the universe and the counterpart wave is on the other side, what you do to one wave is almost instantaneously translated and mimicked by the other wave.
Every area of space has a frequency that it vibrates at that is unique to that space. Every piece of mass or energy also has a unique frequency. The portkey spell forces the objects frequency to become entangled with a spacial frequency when it's concentrated upon while casting the spell. The spell then brings the object to the spatial frequency that was concentrated on. This spell was used for higher mass transportation. As far as Harry could tell it didn't use a wormhole. It traveled through a different dimension where space moved faster. This method of travel was much slower but the power for the portkey was drawn from the energy field around it.
The problem with both methods of travel is that if any more power was drawn than that required to say aparate or portkey further than the sol system the anti magic particles that make the killing curse so deadly are drawn. A wizard could probably aparate much further but it would completely drain their magical core. Ending up literally light years away with a severe case of magical exhaustion would be a really bad thing.
Harry gave his hints to Sam on how to improve her dissertation on wormholes using his previous study into apparition. Harry was sure that with those hints Sam would be considered a genius and the foremost expert in wormhole physics among the mundane world.
Harry was keeping in regular contact with Sirius and Remus. Apparently Sirius wanted to sneak out and watch the quidditch world cup. Harry thought that was a horrible idea. Even using Harry's Polyjuice pills there were methods of detecting the use of Polyjuice. Harry didn't tell Sirius how capable his personal wards were of creating solid illusion fields. Harry called the modified fields hard light.
They would stop bullets but they required a wizard core to power it. Harry was hoping to work on a side project this coming year to make a shield out of it for Sam.
