Text(Hogwarts)

Harry made his way towards the baths for his bi-weekly baths and for once, his focus wasn't on seeing his beautiful cousin and Susan in bikini's; Instead, his focus was on Lyra who hadn't sat next to him in class or for any of the meals once all week. In fact, she was actually pretty far away most of the time.

 Arriving at the bath, he had to admit he was slightly relieved when he saw Tonks standing alone in front of the bath in the black Hogwarts robe and only that. Just in case, he did a quick scan of the room much to Tonk's annoyance, "Should I be offended that you used Homenum Revelio." Tonks smiled.

"No because you had Susan hiding behind a disillusionment charm before." Harry replied. Using the Human Presence revealing spell, anybody who was trying to hide in a room could be found easily.

"Fair enough. Now let's get ready." Tonks smiled as she pulled off her robe to reveal she was completely naked this time.

"So we're having a proper bath huh." Harry chuckled.

Tonks smiled before spinning and swaying her hips, "That's right, so make sure to wash thoroughly." Tonks smiled as she walked into the bath with a sway in her hips before spinning to face him and beckoning him forward.

Harry quickly stripped before joining his cousin in the bath wasting no time in closing the distance between him and his cousin before lining up his cock with her entrance slamming into her with no hesitation whatsoever. The moan of pleasure that came from his cousin only fired him up more and in a very un-Harry like fashion he started hammering Tonks's snatch at a surprisingly high speed, "Fuck I needed this." Harry smiled his hands on her breasts as he pounded her snatch.

"No kidding. I haven't seen you this eager since our first few times together." Tonks said with a slight bit of concern in her voice. Harry was normally a very patient lover, but this was different.

Harry paused realizing he did overdo it, "It's been a long week." Harry frowned but just as he started to move again Tonks put a hand on his chest to stop him in his tracks having realized that now wasn't the time.

"Then how about instead of fucking to forget your concerns we talk about it." Tonks replied calmly. There would be plenty of time to fuck later, but something was off and that needed to be addressed.

"Fine." Harry sighed before pulling out and simply relaxing next to Nym.

"So. What's going on that you're so aggressive. I don't mind if you're a bit rough but that's not like you" Tonks smiled.

"Alright" Harry nodded, and he told her about the change with Lyra.

Tonks twitched because she knew exactly what was going on. In fact, that very issue was the reason she was alone today instead of Susan joining them for the baths as she had recently, "Lyra is staying away because there was a Wizengamot meeting last Sunday. During the meeting Lucius tried to have you arrested for attempting to end the Malfoy line." Tonks explained. Her aunt told her about the whole thing in a letter figuring it would change things. It was annoying this happened after the Monday bath but there was nothing they could do about that now.

"What!!" Harry said in disbelief.

"Yeah that's about what I thought. Dumbledore quickly shot him down saying that the duel in question was initiated by Draco and in addition the spell that you used on him was one he introduced as well as being forbidden to use in such a setting by the person who taught it." Tonks revealed.

"I see." Harry smiled glad that he was rebuffed so decisively.

"Amelia used that evidence to drop the charges completely and Lucius was made a fool of in front of the Wizengamot." Tonks chuckled.

"That explains why Lyra is distant." Harry deadpanned.

"Yep. Lucy is pissed and no doubt took it out on Lyra since Draco proved how useless he is."

"True. I guess I'll just give it some time" Harry smiled.

Tonks smiled, "Well now that we've settled your Lyra issue. It's time for my payment for being a great therapist." Tonks said eagerly

Harry rolled his eyes, "Well I don't have any money, but I do have a big cock that's raring to go."

Tonks smiled as she bent over the side of the tub and spread her lips for Harry, "Thank god for doctor patiently confidentiality." Tonks smiled and it wasn't long before Harry was buried inside Tonks again and this time he was much more calm in his enjoyment as things should be.

(Scene Skip)

Harry was starving after skipping breakfast and with Tonks's help he made his way over to the Hogwarts kitchen to get some food. Apparently the kitchen wasn't far from Hufflepuff's dorm and Tonks had gone there a few times over the years after oversleeping and thus was able to lead him there. When they arrived at the entrance they were met with a rather ironic source in Susan Bones, "Harry! What are you doing here." Susan gasped since she was wearing a pair of pink button up pajamas with slippers.

"The bath went a bit long, and I ended up missing breakfast. Thankfully, Tonks was waiting and brought me over."

"I see." Susan said with a hint of annoyance.

"Well let's go." Tonks said quickly before opening the door revealing the kitchen's area. 

Susan and harry were both stunned by the sheer number of house elves working and an older elf with light grey skin and white hair approached them.

"Greetings students. My name is Sei, and I am the Head House Elf in the kitchen. What can I do for you." The elf said politely.

"We were hoping for some breakfast and maybe you could set these two up with a private area to eat." Tonks smiled.

"Tonks!" Susan blushed.

"Think of it as my apology for asking to see him alone this morning." Tonks replied.

"Alright" Susan nodded. Admittedly she was annoyed that Tonks told her she wanted to meet with him alone since it was the best chance she had to spend time with Harry without the interference of the Slytherin girls.

"Follow me." Sei smiled and led them to a side room with various tables with single chairs.

"What the heck is this." Harry said in disbelief.

"Typically we house elves eat here when we aren't taking care of things at Hogwarts. With breakfast having just finished a while ago we are quite occupied so this should accomplish your goal." Sei said warmly.

"It will." Susan admitted with a smile.

"Excellent. So. What would you like to eat?" Sei asked.

Harry ordered a modified full English with Double eggs and sausage instead of tomatoes and mushrooms with some orange juice. Susan got an eggs and sausage with toast and coffee. Tonks got the same as Harry but unlike her cousin got the tomatoes and mushrooms. Sei took their orders and walked back so the trio could talk in privacy

Harry and Susan sat down with Tonks sitting nearby so they were as close to alone as possible "What happened to make you guys miss breakfast" Susan asked nervously.

"I had some private business to discuss with Harry and it took longer than I thought to work out" Tonks answered. In truth, she missed fucking him since the baths with Susan meant they couldn't have their usual fun. She was glad Harry was so good at healing spells because she was definitely sore and would've been limping even now.

"I see." Susan replied unsure of what to make of the response..

"Anyway, how are you doing Susan. I don't see you much outside of History of magic and well."

"Binns is boring." Tonks said bluntly.

"Yeah." Harry smiled.

Susan blushed at the focus being on her again, "It's fine. A few morons in Hufflepuff but otherwise I'm good." Susan answered.

"Like who." Harry wondered.

"There's a guy named Zacharias Smith who's basically the Hufflepuff version of Draco." Susan groaned in annoyance.

"Ahh. Thinks he's Merlin's gift to the wizarding world and everyone should worship him because he's him." Harry deadpanned.

"Yep. His family is supposedly descendant from Helga Hufflepuff and used to have the legendary Hufflepuff cup before it vanished years ago." Susan chuckled.

"Sounds like a pain." Harry sighed.

"He is. The worst part is he's made a move on quite a few girls in Hufflepuff already. He's been rejected, but it's still annoying." Susan frowned.

"Guys am I right?" Tonks chuckled as Sei walked back with their food.

As the elf left once again Susan focused back on the insanity of the situation, "I still can't believe this, Here I am in Hogwarts with Harry Potter sharing a meal inside a secret kitchen and I'm wearing my bloody pajamas of all things." Susan lamented. While Harry had seen her in much less during their baths it was the fact she didn't plan that which made it annoying.

"To be fair, you're far from the first Puff to walk into this area in their pajamas. Hell, it was a rite of passage for us to come down here in our pajamas." Tonks smiled.

"Yeah but you didn't have THE boy of your generation with you when you did." Susan frowned

"Uhh. I'm right here you know." Harry smiled causing Susan to blush again.

"Sorry it's just."

"Don't worry about it. Truthfully, I'm just glad you're showing me more of your personality." Harry said dismissively.

Susan was glad that Harry was taking this in stride, "Thanks Harry."

"Welcome but let's enjoy breakfast and then chat some more." Harry smiled.

"Sounds good." Susan smiled.

"What am I chopped liver." Tonks frowned from the side.

"No you're Nymphadora Tonks. Chopped liver is a nasty food while you're a delightful person."

"I should hex you for calling me Nymphadora, but that comeback was smooth." Tonks said with a wry smile.

"Thank you." Harry nodded.

Susan chuckled at the ridiculous scene, "I can't tell if I envy or pity the girls in Slytherin."

"Do tell?" Harry asked with intrigue.

"I envy them because they get to share a dorm with you. I pity them because I know that most of the Slytherin parents would probably be a little miffed if their girl got involved with the Boy Who Lived."

"It's a delicate balance." Harry smiled.

"I bet." Susan smiled.

"Well we can joke about that later. Right now I want to enjoy a nice hot breakfast." Tonks spoke up.

"Agreed." Harry and Susan acknowledged, and they dug into their food while enjoying a more peaceful time together.

(Scene Skip)

Making his way downstairs for his usual morning meeting with Daphne, Harry was pleasantly surprised to find Lyra waiting for him in a silver Slytherin nightgown, "Well look what we have here." Harry smiled. It had been a month since Lyra seemingly moved away from Harry after her father's failed attempt to get him arrested. He had to admit he was curious why things changed.

"Shut up and come over here Harry." Lyra frowned.

Harry smiled before walking over and sitting down next to her, "Care to explain why you've spent the last month away from me." Harry asked with more curiosity than anything.

"I assume Nymphadora told you about the Wizengamot meeting where he tried to accuse you of ending the Malfoy line." Lyra said calmly.

"That's right." Harry replied.

"The next day I got a letter from father forbidding me from talking to you and it's Draco's job to enforce it. I played along because Draco could take out his frustration by screwing me over if I even hint that something is up."

Harry could understand that, "So what changed?"

"I was pissed watching you spend time with everyone else and I came to a decision. If he wants to kick me out that's fine. Thanks to mum I'm also a member of House Black and I'm pretty sure that between the current head and his heir. I'll be fine" Lyra answered.

"I see." Harry chuckled because Lyra was right. If Lucius kicked her out, House Black would welcome her with open arms.

Lyra smiled before straddling his waist, "So Harry. We've got a month of snogging to make up for." Lyra said happily as she wrapped his arms around her neck.

Harry chuckled, "Then snog away." Harry smiled as he wrapped his arms around Lyra and pulled him in for a kiss. The pair snogged happily for a minute or so before Lyra pulled away to catch her breath.

"Fuck I miss doing stuff like this." Lyra said happily.

"Why stop there." A voice said nearby causing them to turn as Daphne stood there with a smile on her face.

"Morning Daphne."

"Morning Harry. So now that Lyra's decided to show some backbone, how would you like to complete the set."

"Complete the set?" Lyra looked in confusion.

"Well, he already fucked Tracey so that leaves you and me." Daphne smiled.

"When did he fuck Tracey." Lyra frowned unaware of that little development.

"The day of Quidditch tryouts." Daphne said with a knowing smile.

"Lucky bint. So was that the only time." Lyra questioned.

"I've said it before, a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell." Harry smiled. Annoyingly it had been the only time he fucked Tracey, but he made up for it with weekly meeting with Lavender Brown and Tonks who had taken to using empty classrooms and breaks in their schedule for some fun since Susan joined them for their bi-weekly baths.

"And we've said before that you're no gentleman." Daphne smiled back before walking over to Harry. Even with Lyra straddling his waist, Daphne leaned in to kiss him on the lips and they snogged for a bit before Daphne pulled away.

"So. We doing this or not." Lyra frowned.

Harry's cock certainly wasn't against that, but he had to be smart, "Let's wait for a bit. I absolutely want to fuck both of you, but we couldn't properly enjoy ourselves now." Harry answered.

Lyra had to concede he was right, "Fine but don't keep me waiting too much longer." Lyra scowled.

"Deal." Harry smiled before kissing her on the lips once more.

"Prat." Lyra blushed as she got off him.

"Damn right." Harry smiled. He was glad that the situation with Lyra was resolved, and he couldn't wait to finally claim her for himself.

(Scene Skip)

The school was buzzing as the first games of the Quidditch season had arrived. Naturally Gryffindor and Slytherin started things off, but the house of snakes currently had an issue within their ranks. "What do you mean you're not going." Draco fumed as he stood above his sister who was in casual clothes sitting on a green armchair next to a globe that was situated in the front of the common room on the left side. They were basically alone since most of the dorm was getting dressed for the occasion.

"In case you've forgotten Draco, Flint decided that just because my friend was a girl she didn't deserve to try out for the team." Lyra scowled.

"Who cares. We're supposed to have a public front and that includes things like this." Draco replied angrily.

"Well I don't give a crap about the public front. I give a crap about my friend." Lyra replied.

"Lyra this isn't the time. Things in this dorm are already ridiculous enough and now you're doing this."

"Is there a problem." Isabella Selwyn smiled as she approached their group dressed for the game.

Draco fumed because he technically couldn't respond thanks to the bet, "Father will here of this Lyra." Draco said angrily before leaving them alone.

Lyra sighed and Isabella couldn't hide the sigh on her face, "You okay Lyra." Isabella asked softly.

Lyra tried to put up a brave front, but it wasn't working, "No. It's just. Things have been complicated." Lyra replied as she stared off to the side towards the couch that was normally occupied by Harry. The fact that she's being punished for Draco's ignorance was massively annoying especially since other girls were getting their time with him. It was hard to miss the looks Brown gave him during class and even more so to Susan Bones with Binns's class. The fact Tracey already slept with Harry wasn't lost on her either and she and Daphne wanted their chance.

"I get it. Between you and me, I think you should watch the game." Isabella smiled.

"Why?" Lyra frowned not in the mood to argue.

"Because Flint's bias is about to get shoved in his face." Isabella said with a devious grin on her face.

"You have my attention." Lyra replied curious about what Isabella had in mind.

"Watch the game and you'll find out then when the game is over and everyone is distracted, you can 'reconnect' with your good friend Harry."

Lyra looked around making sure that Draco or his goon squad weren't listening, "How." Lyra wondered.

"Being head girl has some privileges and one of them is a private suite connected to the dorm. I could… lend it to you for a bit." Isabella smiled.

Lyra's eyes widened, "You'd do that."

"I would." Isabella smiled.

Lyra narrowed her eyes, "What's the catch. You know that our house never does things for free." Lyra said accusingly.

"There are exceptions to everything. I mean who would've guessed that the Boy Who Lived would be in Slytherin and be utterly perfect at it." Isabella reminded her.

"True." Lyra admitted. Harry being the perfect Slytherin was incredible, and she was enjoying the benefits of it before Draco's screw up

 "Anyway. The suite has an entrance from the Slytherin Dorm side by the poster of Salazar Slytherin just off the entrance to the girls side. The password is Sovereign. Don't tell anybody besides your buddies." Isabella explained.

"Got it." Lyra smiled before walking over to the dorm to get changed and convince Tracey and Daphne to join her.

Isabella smiled at a job well done before walking over to the infamous couch, "So Potter did you hear all of that." Isabella spoke up. Out of nowhere the couch shimmered and a smiling Harry Potter appeared on the couch lying his feet down as he relaxed while everyone got ready for the game.

"How did you know I was here." Harry asked curiously.

"Because unlike most of the school I know most of your tricks, Nym was very specific about some of the things you could do."

Harry shook his head, "I should've known. So what else did Nym tell you." Harry asked curiously.

"She says your quite good with a wand and before the year is over, I wouldn't mind getting a try myself. Isabella smiled.

Harry smirked, "The end of the school year or the calendar one."

Isabella smiled because that was another of his tricks, "Calendar."

"Considering you just took care of a problem I had, I'm sure I can arrange something."

"Good. Now let's get going because we've got a game to watch." Isabella smiled before walking away making sure to sway her hips for Harry's enjoyment. Something she could only do because of the casual clothes she was currently wearing.

(Scene Skip)

Harry sat in the stands with his fellow Slytherin's ready to see if Isabella was right about the game, "Here we go." Harry said as Tracey stood next to him with Daphne and Lyra to her left.

"So. Think they'll do well." Tracey asked curiously. As much as anybody she wanted to see what happened to Flint in his first game in charge

"We'll see." Harry smiled as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Yeah." Tracey smiled glad that Harry had her back.

Soon it was time for the game to start with McGonagall and a boy named Lee Jordan acting as announcers. "Now let's meet the Gryffindor team. Keeper Oliver Wood. At Beaters it's Fred and George Weasley. Now for the Chasers, The lovely Angelina Johnson, the Ravishing Alicia Spinnet, and the cute Katie Bell."

"Mr. Jordan!" McGonagall scowled.

"He's showing how bias he is huh." Blaise smiled from his spot on Harry's right.

"Yes but can you really blame him. OW" Harry winced as Tracey pinched his side.

"Watch it Harry." Tracey frowned.

"I'm just making a very simple observation Tracey. Those three are all very good-looking girls." Harry answered.

"Guess it's a good thing you didn't make the team. You'd be paying too much attention to them to catch the snitch" Tracey teased.

Harry simply rolled his eyes, and the game began. Watching the game, Harry couldn't help but laugh as Gryffindor's Chasers worked like a well-oiled machine and quickly stormed out to an early lead.

"Girls can't play huh.' Tracey smiled.

"Selwyn was right. Flint's arrogance is backfiring." Lyra smiled as the game continued.

Harry was glad that Tracey was having a good time, but his enjoyment of the game quickly vanished when Slytherin's tactics changed. Instead of trying to outfly Gryffindor, which they clearly couldn't do, they used bully tactics and started to attack the players. The fouls racked on and much to Harry's annoyance, they got back in the game.

'This isn't right" Blaise frowned as Slytherin committed yet another foul.

"Yep. Slytherin is all about cunning and cleverness. This is just brute force for brute force's sake." Daphne replied.

Harry didn't disagree but he'd be lying if he didn't have a split focus.

"Harry!" Daphne spoke up catching him off guard.

"Oh. Something wrong." Harry replied.

"I was curious what you thought of our teams tactics but now I'm wondering what you're watching." Daphne spoke up.

"The snitch." Harry answered.

"No way. You can see it." Blaise said in shock.

"Yes but truthfully that wouldn't matter right now." Harry replied.

"What do you mean it wouldn't matter?" Blaise asked curiously.

"Simple. The snitch is being a sneaky little bugger hiding in a place that the Seekers won't be able to find unless they actively look for it, an act which would be royally stupid if you were the seeker"

"Right. Because if the seeker suddenly flew somewhere the other seeker would take notice since all that matters to them is the Snitch." Tracey answered.

"Exactly." Harry smiled.

"I'm more impressed you've been watching the snitch instead of the Gryffindor girls." Daphne teased.

"If I want to look at lovely girl's, I can stick to the ones in my dorm." Harry retorted.

"Right" Daphne Lyra and Tracey all blushed.

"Smooth Potter." Blaise chuckled.

"I try" Harry replied as his eyes watched the snitch reappear. He had to give it to the little bugger it was doing a fantastic job of hiding from people.

Fortunately for Harry, the game of watching the snitch came to an end when it became visible to everyone else. Unfortunately, the seeker who came out ahead wasn't Higgs, but Cormac McLaggen, a Gryffindor who struck him as the type of smarmy asshole he liked to avoid.

"GRYFFINDOR WINS." Lee shouted with joy and Slytherin suffered a tough defeat.

"Damn it." Malfoy cursed and Harry only nodded as everyone looked on with regret.

"Harry, you know what to do." Tracey whispered.

'Yup." Harry chuckled and as everyone started to leave, Harry prepared himself for the long afternoon ahead. If everything worked as planned. Despite Slytherin's defeat, Harry was going to be a very happy boy.

(Potter Mansion)

Lily and James Potter were all smiles as they sat for Sunday brunch after looking over the latest letter from their son "So. What do you make of everything." Lily wondered.

"I'm glad that Harry is doing okay in Slytherin despite the obvious challenges. Admittedly my biggest surprise is that Snape hasn't been a complete ass to him." James replied. Harry's biggest issue in Slytherin was always going to be the head of house and his unfortunate history with the Potter family.

Lily decided to change subjects since she hated what Snape had become if what Tonks said was true, "So what do you think about him not making the Quidditch team" Lily wondered.

"As bad as this sounds I'm okay with that. Harry's as good as I was if not better at that age, and him succeeding for Slytherin would probably annoy me. Plus, he had a good reason for not making it." James answered. Leaving tryouts immediately because they refused to let girls try out for the team was a brilliant move and one he fully supported.

"Agreed." Lily smiled.

Their calm was interrupted when Harry's personal elf Ganon appeared, "Mistress here are the latest letters." Ganon said with a scowl on his face.

"Ugh!" Lily groaned having a good idea of why Harry's elf was annoyed. Harry was the age where marriage contracts could be signed and as future Lord of three houses, he was going to be somebody people took interest in. The fact he was still the Boy Who Lived only added to that chaos. Looking over the letters most of the names were people they had no idea of, but then a name that caught her off guard appeared.

"Cyrus Greengrass. Well there's a surprise." James smiled having looked over Lily's shoulder as she dealt with the letters. Cyrus was an old friend and while he wasn't quite a Marauder, he was close.

"So. Should we read it." Lily wondered.

"Yes." James said happily and Lily opened the letter.

Dear Lord Potter,

While it wasn't exactly what the wizarding world expected, my daughter Daphne found herself in the same dorm as your son Harry. From what she tells me in her correspondence their relationship is very good, and only going to improve as time goes along. Because of that, I would like to invite Harry over to our home for Yule to discuss a marriage contract between them. Unlike many of the purebloods, I have no desire to bond my daughter to somebody she doesn't approve of which is why I'm taking this step first.

Cyrus Greengrass

James was pleasantly surprised by that, "Well, we'll have to bring that up with Harry later."

"And by later you mean Yule." Lily smiled.

"Yes. Talking to about it now is a bad idea considering what's coming up soon" James sighed.

"Yes. The day that everything changed for all of us." Lily said bitterly. The Halloween period was a bad one for the Potter's because their world was completely shattered. Peter betrayed them and Dumbledore schemed to take advantage of that betrayal and would've succeeded if not for Lily planning ahead. The Potter's were firmly in the light before, but now they found themselves on the gray side within the Wizengamot much to Dumbledore's horror if the way they'd recently voted was any indication.

"Let's get through these and relax." James sighed.

Their hopes of relaxing were brought to a bitter end after a letter from another familiar name.

Hello James,

After all that Dumbledore did for you and the light you have the nerve to pretend to be dead for all this time without telling him as much. Albus Dumbledore is a great man and deserves your respect and since I'm a good servant of the light, I have a solution that will put you on the right path. Please write up a marriage contract for your son Harry and my lovely Ginerva. She's a good girl who was raised well by yours truly and will make wonderful children that will serve the light the way you should have all this time. Admittedly I am grateful that you are alive because if that deviant Sirius Black had raised him I shudder to think what could've happened to such a promising boy. Have a wonderful day.

Molly Weasley.

Lily was absolutely furious, and James wasn't far behind, "Good old Molly. Glad to see she hasn't changed." James scowled. During the time in the order the only thing more annoying than Dumbledore's orders was Molly's mouth and attitude towards everything. It was horrible and the trio wanted to curse her a few times to shut her up.

"No she isn't, but I'm going to tell her exactly what I think with a Howler." Lily frowned.

James paused, "Hold on Lily. A howler would only makes things worse. How about we do something else." James said with a smile on his face.

"I'm listening." Lily smiled.

"Take this letter and mail it to Arthur. Let him read this and see what he thinks." James suggested.

"Sounds good. If Arthur has any pride and dignity left he'll deal with her." lily said happily.

"The key word is if." James deadpanned.

"True. Though if her daughter is anything like Molly I feel bad for Harry." Lily sighed.

"Does it really matter. She'll be in Gryffindor like the others and Harry will ignore her." James reminded her.

"True." Lily admitted. After the headache that was Molly it was a good thing that the rest of the letters were boring and allowed the Potter's to relax. Samhain was around the corner, and it was a day that always brought about the worst in the members of House Potter.

Notes:• The baths with Harry Susan and Tonks are Monday and Friday every week. Susan knows they bathe together but isn't aware that they're sleeping with each other, though she does think that something is off right now.

• For anybody saying that Lyra and Harry could've met in the mornings even with Draco's ban, by this point Harry's relationship with the girls of Slytherin is a known commodity so it would've exposed Lyra pretty quickly.

• A rather ironic note about the Slytherin Quidditch team is that if you pay attention to the team in Sorcerer's Stone you'll notice that there is actually a girl as keeper. Still, Flint being thoroughly schooled by the flying foxes is funny and served as a perfect catalyst for the story to move forward. I put Cormac as Seeker because I needed somebody to act in the role.

• The classic Molly bashing appears and before anybody says it's unrealistic, if you've ever paid attention to Molly bashing stories this type of letter is appropriate.
