The day after their transformations, Hecate summoned Harry and Bill to the ritual room once again. When they entered, Hecate said, “Camthalion and Galdor please have a seat. As promised, I will bestow upon you tonight, the gifts I have chosen in reward for the sacrifices you both have made.”
Looking over to Bill first, Hecate stated, “Galdor, with my sincerest gratitude, I gift to you the security of your family. I have looked deep within your soul and see that this is your truest desire. It is admirable of you to not want riches for yourself, but a secure future for the Weasley line. When you return to your time, the Weasley Family will receive this gift bestowed from me to you and will forevermore flourish in the bounty of my good grace so long as none turn against my beliefs. So Mote It Be!”
With an awe filled tone, Bill said, “I thank you, my Goddess.”
“You are very welcome, Galdor. It is my pleasure.” she said, smiling down upon her Light Lord.
Next, she turned to Harry and said, “Camthalion, with my sincerest gratitude, I gift to you the life of your parents. I have looked deep within your soul and see that this is your truest desire. You have suffered many years without their guidance and love, but that will no longer be the case. When you return to your time, the Potter Family will be reunited on the night of All Hallows Eve. May you forevermore know the love of a parent and give that in return to your own child or children may the fates bless you with them. So Mote It Be!”
Harry may well be a Dark Elf, a Vampire, and the future Dark Lord, but with tears rolling down his face, Harry looked up at Hecate and said in a choked voice, “I thank you, my Goddess.”
“You are very welcome, Camthalion. It is my pleasure.” said Hecate, giving Harry a reassuring smile as he pulled himself back together. Once he was composed, she said, “I have chosen to wait till you return so that nothing disrupts your training. I do hope you understand.”
“I do understand, and again, I thank you.” finished Harry.
Giving both her Chosen a kiss on the cheek, she said, “You both have made me very proud, and I know that I could not have chosen better.”
XXXXXXX (Scene Break) XXXXXXX
Six days after Harry, Bill, Lucius, Charlie and Sirius left, Dumbledore called an Order meeting to discuss the lull in activity concerning Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Once everyone was seated at the kitchen table, Dumbledore surveyed the room and noticing that three members were not present so asked, “Where are Bill, Charlie and Sirius?”
Molly quickly looked at her husband and Remus, then answered according to the story they’d come up with, “Bill and Charlie have been caught up at work, but I’m not sure where Sirius is.”
Remus picked up from there and said, “Sirius isn’t feeling very well this evening, so I gave him a few potions, one of which is a dreamless sleep, so obviously, he won’t be able to make it down.”
Dumbledore was not happy about this, and giving a disappointed look said, “This is unacceptable. I called for a full Order meeting, not a come if you’re available meeting.”
“Unfortunately, life sometimes gets in the way, Albus. Would you rather my boys lose their jobs and the connection those jobs offer you so that they could be here for a mandatory meeting?” asked Molly.
“No, of course not, I was merely shocked that three order members did not show. Remus what exactly is wrong with Sirius? Is it so bad that he could not at least sit in on this meeting?” asked Dumbledore.
Giving Dumbledore a disbelieving look, Remus said, “What good would it serve to have a sick man, asleep on Dreamless Sleep, sit in on this meeting? I’m afraid the years in Azkaban sometimes make themselves known through nightmares and this causes him to become violently ill. He’ll be fine after he sleeps, this has happened a few times over the last year, and by morning, he’ll most likely be up and about.”
Dumbledore, sensing something was off looked at Molly, Arthur, and Remus and said, “Very well, but tell each of them I wish to speak with them at their earliest convenience.”
After receiving nods from the three in question, Dumbledore continued on with the meeting. Snape was called upon to report, but had nothing to say as he’d not been summoned in over a month, and this set a few people on edge. After receiving a few more unimportant reports from various others around the table, Albus said, “Well, as we have no new information, I’d like for everyone to keep their eyes and ears open for any news you may come across. Is there anything else that needs to be discuss?”
Moody, deciding that this meeting was a waste of time, decided to let his grievance be known and said, “Albus, what was so important that you decided to call a mandatory meeting? I was close to nailing a few suspected Death Eaters and had to leave their trail to come here. If Snape has nothing to offer, you’ve just wasted a great deal of my time that could’ve been better used capturing those criminals.”
Kingsley also put in his two cents by saying, “You told us that you’d only call a mandatory meeting when there was an emergency or when there was vital information needed to be shared. I, so far, haven’t seen any reason to all of this, and will probably be put on probation, or even suspension, when I get back to work for leaving my post without approval. This could be very costly to my being able to supply you with information. Every time I have to leave, it gets harder and harder to come up with reasonable excuses for my absences. I believe in this organization, but I will not lose my career over bogus meetings like tonight.”
Many around the table nodded in agreement to Moody and Kingsley’s statements, with some offering their own woes about how hard it was to get away for all these meetings. Dumbledore was not at all happy with the dissention in his group, so putting on a stern, disappointed look he said, “It is not your place to question why I deem it necessary to call meetings, whether you feel they are needed or not. When I call a meeting, regardless if you understand why it’s important, you are to come and as your leader, that is my final say in this matter. Now…”
Getting angrier by the minute, Moody stood up and slammed his fist down while he growled out, “Who do you think you are, Albus? We are not just things to be ordered around…last I checked this is a volunteer based group, formed to help fight evil and injustice, not an army under your direct command. I take insult to the way you’ve treating everyone lately, especially tonight. How dare you question these men and women about their whereabouts or any other matter that doesn’t concern you. You need us more than we need you….remember that.”
Looking around at the 30 or so members of his Order, he could see that most were in agreement with Moody and where taking offense to what had transpired so far. Letting a little of the twinkle out, Dumbledore said, “I apologize to you all…the lack of activity and information from Voldemort has me a bit on edge and I did not mean to offend any of you. Please accept an old man’s mistake.”
“Your apology is all well and good, Albus, but you’ve yet to tell us what was so important that you had to disrupt our lives and potentially cost us our employment?” asked Kingsley.
“Forgive me…I will endeavor to explain my reasoning.” said Dumbledore, letting his fury over being questioned stew inwardly, while his face held a look of concern and understanding. Needing to come up with a quick topic, he decided to bring up Harry’s behavior this year. He learned long ago that anything to do with the young man was usually good for stirring everyone’s emotions.
“This year, I noticed that Harry has been pulling back from his friends, and sadly, myself. At Halloween, he received a mysterious letter during the feast that came with an unusual black bird. He has yet to share the contents of this letter, but shortly thereafter, he became very secretive and has spent much of his time alone. This concerns me for a couple of reasons; the first being that prior to this year, he would have shared the information contained within the letter, but instead, claimed that it was a personal matter and said nothing further. I have tried on several occasions to bring it up, but have been unsuccessful thus far. I am unable to understand why he has lost faith and trust in me.”
Taking a sip of his tea, Dumbledore continued, “The second aspect that concerns me is the fact that he has also pulled away from his friends. We all know the ‘Golden Trio’, as they are called, have always been very tight, but when I questioned Ron and Hermione, they had no explanation as to what the letter contained or why Harry seemed more distant this year. With the war upon us once again, we need to make sure that Harry is not being influenced by others not of the Order. I can not go into why, but Harry is vital to the fall of the Dark. I would like to know if any of you have been made privy to what is going on.”
Minerva, who had been silent up to this point, put on stern accusatory look and said, “Perhaps, Albus, if you had not tried to invade Harry’s mind the evening of Halloween, by use of Legilimency, he would be more open with you. I know for a fact that he values his privacy immensely, and by trying to take the information from him against his wishes, you shattered the trust Harry had in you. I, for one, am surprised that he didn’t hex you for doing that…Merlin knows I would have.”
“You tried to force the information from Harry?” asked Tonks, giving Dumbledore a look that showed just how wrong she thought he was.
“No wonder Harry’s pulled away from you!” said an angry Moody.
“How could you, Albus?” said Molly, completely shocked by the Headmaster’s actions.
Retreating to a dark corner of the room, as the events unfolded, Severus Snape smirked as Albus dug himself deeper and deeper into a fathomless hole. He’d been observing the absolute control that Dumbledore sought to instill over the Order of the Phoenix for many months now, but hadn’t said anything as of yet…and more than likely wouldn’t for quite some time. As the arguing continued, Snape thought, ‘It’s time to see how this all plays out in the future…no need to show my cards just yet.’
Realizing that things were getting out of hand, Dumbledore raised his hands to forestall anymore questions and said, “I did what was necessary to protect Harry. He is number one of Voldemort’s hit list, and taking into account that it was Halloween, a day in which Tom usually tries something to remind Harry of his parent’s deaths, I was highly concerned. He would not tell us the contents of this mysterious letter, so I did the only thing I could.”
“Albus, if Harry said it was personal, why did you not take his reason at face value? Do you always need to know everything Harry receives via owl or bird? If the note had been from someone wishing him harm, I’m sure he would’ve told you or Minerva.” said Tonks.
Now Dumbledore was furious, and his face reflected this for a few moments causing many in the room to shift in their seats. Moody looked at Dumbledore in a new light, then noticed Kingsley, Tonks, Remus, Arthur, and Molly all had the same shocked but disgusted looks to their faces. By letting his true colors show for the first time, little did the Headmaster know that this night would trigger the beginning of the end to his supposed rule.
Feeling the need to defend his cub, Remus spoke up, “What I’d like to know is why you tried to get information from his two best friends behind his back. Harry probably found out about it, and therefore refuses to share anything that he doesn’t want you to know about…I believe you’ve done quite a bit of damage this year, Albus.”
“That is ENOUGH!” roared Dumbledore. “I will not sit here and take the blame for Harry’s secretive nature. It is my job to ensure the boy’s safety and I will use whatever means necessary to do so. I will not allow you to question my means or my motives concerning any of this….is that clearly understood?”
Shaking his head, Kingsley stated, “No, Dumbledore, I don’t believe it is. What right do you have to invade anyone’s privacy? Like Tonks said, if Harry had been in danger, I’m sure he would’ve shared the letter with you, however, snooping into his mind and going behind his back and using his friends to get answer’s he obviously wasn’t willing to share with you…it’s no wonder he doesn’t trust you.”
Arthur, the usually happy but quiet man backed Kingsley’s statement with one of his own, by saying, “I, for one, think you’ve over stepped the boundaries of what is needed to ensure Harry’s safety, and as a member of this Order, I’ll not stand for you abusing your position as our leader or as Harry’s Headmaster. Do you read everything that is sent to my children, or for that matter, to the rest of the students within Hogwarts? Harry has the right to privacy and he should not be assaulted for keeping private thoughts and information from you or anyone else…for all we know, the letter could’ve been something as trivial as a bank statement, which no one has the right to see.”
Standing, while letting a little of his power flow off to intimidate those present, Dumbledore angrily replied, “I said I would not stand for you questioning me! I am the leader of this organization, and what I say, goes. I can assure you that the letter delivered was not a bank statement, as I receive all of Harry’s correspondence from Gringotts personally. This matter is one that needs to be dealt…”
“YOU WHAT?!” screamed Molly, Remus, and Emmeline Vance, while at the same time, Moody, Tonks, and Kingsley yelled, “THAT’S ILLEGAL!” Many of the others seated at the table also exclaimed their feeling on the matter until Dumbledore shouted, “SILENCE!”
Once everyone was quite, Dumbledore said in a very cold voice, the likes none of the Order had ever heard, “I don’t care if you think what I am doing is fair or just, you are my subordinates and will do as you are told. Harry is far too young to understand financial matters, so as his guardian, I handle all of that for him. Now, as you are all a little out of sorts tonight, I’ll call this meeting to a close, but next time, you had better be a bit more cooperative. Goodnight.”
Kingsley, having witnessed more than enough of Dumbledore’s attitude lately, said, “You know what, Dumbledore….I quit! I’m an Auror, assigned to uphold the laws, not break them, whether you feel justified in doing so or not. You claim to care for Harry, as his guardian, but every year you send him to those despicable muggles claiming he is safest their. I know for a fact that each year he begs you not to send him back there, but you never listen to him, or for that matter any of us. Over the last few months, you’ve become more and more unreasonable in your demands….yes, Albus, you demand not ask us to do things for you. You expect each of us, as well as Harry and his friends, to tell you absolutely everything and risk our lives for you, but do not hold yourself to the same. I find that intolerable, and won’t stand for it any longer. I’m not your servant, Albus…that status is reserved for Death Eaters who blindly follow an evil master.”
“If that is how you feel, then I’m sorry, Kingsley, but you’ll not be leaving here with any information.” said Dumbledore as he lifted his wand to obliviate the Auror.
As the first syllable began to form, the Headmaster soon found himself on the wrong end of about 20 wands, with Moody saying, “I wouldn’t if I were you, Albus. I suggest you put down your wand…now! What were you planning to do….erase all our memories? How many times have you done this to us before, when you didn’t like us holding you to the same moral standards the rest of us follow?”
Taking his seat slowly, Dumbledore looked at all those present, and sighed. This was not how he envisioned things going, and with a false look of regret, he said, “Please believe me when I say that nothing like this has ever happened before. I don’t know what got into me tonight…I am truly sorry.”
“I believe that we should all take a few days to calm down. This evenings events will be dealt with at a later date…but Albus, if you wish to remain the leader of this group, you had better start abiding by the same rules and laws that we do.” said Moody gruffly.
As the disastrous meeting came to an end, Dumbledore left with a promise to do better as their leader, while inside he was raging at the gall of these lesser people questioning him about his motives and means. ‘One way or the other,’ the headmaster thought, ‘these people will obey me…I wonder if there are any potions that could be used to instill their obedience?’
XXXXXXXX (Scene Break) XXXXXXXX
As the Order meeting raged on, Harry and Bill were just finishing up their sixth month of training. So far they had primarily concentrated on the physical side of their training and learning the laws and rights that their positions carried. Lucius was assigned to teach them about their roles, as Magic’s Governor, and was proving to be a hard task master, but very thorough.
Under the guise of being on vacation, at the end of the seventh month, Lucius had to leave the orb because in real time he could not be gone for more than seven days. When he returned, he would continue to work the Ministry into accepting the new Lords, and carry on with his spying on Voldemort. He would be back periodically to continue their education, but Hecate would oversee it in his absence, pushing the more magical aspects to the forefront. It was important that Lucius handled the training concerning their roles and the laws that govern them, as he would be Harry and Bill’s advisor, so the building of trust and a complete understanding on the parts of the three most powerful people was paramount.
Harry had just finished his last workout for the day at around 9pm, and was headed back to his suite, when he was joined by Hecate on his journey. “Good evening, Camthalion. How did your physical training go this evening?”
“It went well, my Goddess. I was just heading back to my room to shower and rest. Was there something you needed from me?” asked Harry.
“I believe you need to learn something new this night, as it will be required later on in your magical training. When you arrive at your room, Aeroth will inform you as to what will be happening. I do believe you will enjoy this new experience.” said Hecate.
“If it is your will, then I shall follow it. Good evening.” Harry said with a bow to Hecate, then entered his suite.
Once inside, Aeroth greeted Harry and said, “Good evening, My Lord.”
Passing his servant the bag he was carrying, Harry said, “Hello, Aeroth. Hecate said you had some instructions for my training this night. What is it that I need to do?”
“Your trainer is here, awaiting you in the master bath. I am to tell you to enjoy yourself and to have a pleasant night, My Lord.” finished Aeroth, who left right away.
“Odd.” said Harry aloud.
Making his way upstairs, Harry entered his bedroom, and then went right to the master bath as he’d been instructed. Upon entering, he noticed a young woman drawing a bath, clad only in a sheer dressing gown and g-string. Hearing someone enter, she turned around, then realizing who it was, bowed before him and said, “My Lord…I am Tári Amandil. It is a pleasure to serve you.”
Understanding what the new training was, Harry stepped forward and taking her chin in his hand, he gently raised her from the bowing position to examine this beautiful elf woman before him. Tári had dark skin that showcased her tall, slender but firm, 5’9” frame that glowed in the candle light that now consumed the room. Her hair hung down to the middle of her thighs, in straight golden beams that shimmered when she moved, and her violet eyes danced with anticipation of what was to come.
Reaching out while looking in his servant’s eyes, Harry gently released the bindings on the robe, then, without touching her skin, he brushed the material off her shoulders until it puddle at her feet. Letting his eyes wander, he took in Tári’s pert breasts that were large, but not overly so, then noticed that her pubic area was barren of hair. Circling around behind her, drinking in her glorious figure and taking in how her thin waist curved outward to form round, full buttocks, he finished his slow, stalking lap ending in front of her again, only this time it was mere inches that separated them.
“You are a very beautiful woman, Tári. Tell me, what were your instructions?” Harry asked.
“I am to service your every wish and desire, My Lord. You need only tell me what that is.” said the young servant.
“Very well, Tári. I wish to refresh myself after my workout this night, so finish preparing my bath.” he said.
“As you will it, My Lord.”
When Tári was finished, she turned and asked, “May I undress you, My Lord?”
“Yes.” said Harry, never ceasing his visual exploration of her perfect body.
Tári raised her hands to the ties that held his sleeveless tunic on and slowly began unlacing them. As she descended down his torso, more and more skin became apparent, then when she finally finished, she ran her hands softly back up the exposed skin, over his now revealed nipples and across his muscular chest up to his shoulders. Pausing for a few moments, she hooked her index fingers onto the fabric then slid it down his well defined arms, over his wrists, then off his hands to land in a heap on the floor.
Taking her hands in his, he helped her to kneel in front of him so she could undo his tight pants. When she had them unfastened, Tári bent down to take his shoes off, and placed each off to the side before reaching up and slowly slipped his pants from his body. Once he was naked, she turned back to him and gasped at the sheer size of his manhood, which was only half erect. It was long and thick, and she began thanking the Goddess for this wonderful assignment.
Still kneeling close to his erection and loving the purely masculine scent wafting over her, Tári looked up to her lord and asked, “May I taste you, My Lord?”
“No, you will bathe me first.” said Harry, then leaving her kneeling, he went into the massive tub, knowing she would follow. Once she entered the bathing pool, she took a pitcher from the side of the tub, filled it, and began pouring it over his hair to wet it for washing. Once his long, wavy hair was shampooed and conditioned, she soaped up a cloth and starting at his neck, she reverently washed every piece of exposed skin. As she came closer to his nether regions, Tári paused and was slightly shocked that her lord had not hardened any further from her ministrations.
Sensing that something was wrong, due to the fact that Tári had stopped, Harry opened his eyes and quietly said, “Is there a problem?”
“No, My Lord. I was just shocked that you have not hardened beyond what you were when you stepped into the pool. Am I not pleasing you, My Lord?”
“It is not that at all. I am simply relaxing under your wonderful care, after a long hard day. Take no offense to my supposed disinterest…that will soon change. Continue.”
“Of course, My Lord.”
A short while later, the young servant said, “I am finished, My Lord. What is your next wish of me?”
Looking at her beautiful face, he said, “Stand.”
Tári stood as she was instructed and with only her mid thigh and below still in the water, she was shocked when she felt his hand land on her waist, using it turn her more towards him. With only inches between his face and her hairless vagina, he began rubbing his thumb across her slender hip, then leaned forward to licked a few of the droplets of water from the area where her leg and upper body connected, eliciting a moan from the woman standing before him.
“You liked that?” Harry asked, his voice becoming huskier with the lust he was feeling.
“Yes, My Lord…very much.” Tári responded, hoping he would do it again.
Pulling her more to him, he slid both his hands around to her rounded globes, and as he kneed them gently, he slowly licked a path from one hip to the next, barely above her folds. Deciding he wanted to explore further, Harry stood, lifting her up as he went and wrapped her legs around him, then brought them both out of the bathing pool. Without drying off, he left the bathroom, making his way gracefully to the oversized bed.
Laying Tári down, Harry crawled over her and continued his exploration of her body. Starting at her neck, he began to lick and kiss his way down to her breasts, loving how he caused her nipples to stand fully erect, then took one of them into his mouth, sucking and nipping at the pert nipple, bringing more wonderful sounds from the woman below him. Leaving her breasts, Harry made his way further down Tári’s body, where he stopped at her naval and used his tongue to circle it and every so often inserted it, relishing in the fact that this action seemed to drive her wild.
“Tári, tell me what you want.” Harry said in a low seductive voice. Never having done this before, Harry wanted to be sure that he learned to do this well.
“I want you to lick my clitoris, and suck it….I want you to taste me and play with me with your long fingers….” she trailed off.
Lying between her legs, Harry reached up to Tári folds, parted them and got his first real look at a woman. Completely enthralled with what lie before him, he did as she said and gently licked her, groaning at her wonderful taste as she bucked up from the sensation. Knowing Tári was enjoying herself, he licked her again, this time with a little more force, then suck at the very sensitive nub, and as Harry continued to do this, she gasped and moaned out, encouraging him to do more.
In a breathy voice she said, “My Lord….more, please.”
Without waiting any longer, he left her clit, trailing his tongue further down to lick at her juices that now pooled at her opening. He then inserted two of his long, thick fingers causing her to buck even harder. Winding his free arm around her thigh, he used his other hand to work her clit while he fingered her and sucked in her flavor. In no time, he had her panting and writhing until suddenly, she arched up off the bed and screamed out her climax. Slowing his insertion into her vagina, but not stopping, he lifted his head to look upon Tári while she experienced her orgasm and was surprised by the intensity that overtook the young woman.
When she began to come back to reality, he moved up her body and shared her flavor by kissing the beautiful elf servant with such ferocity that it left them both breathless. When they both were breathing more normal again, Tári asked, “May I taste you now, My Lord.”
“Yes, you may….and Tári, when we are so intimately involved, you will call me Cam or Camthalion.” said Harry.
Moving to lay on top of her lord, she kissed him once more before making her way down his torso, licking and nipping in a similar fashion as he had done to her. When at long last she was close to his manhood, she took the enormous cock in her hand and began pumping him ever so slowly, allowing her thumb to rub the tip with each stroke. Spurred on by his moans of pleasure, she took him into her mouth while she continued to pump his lower shaft.
“AAHH! Damn that feels amazing!” said Harry while arching up to get more of his cock into her mouth, enjoying his first ever blow job.
She worked his penis for several long minutes, using her hands and mouth, then without warning, he exploded into the warm cavern that surrounded him, roaring out in his release. Loving the taste of her lord, Tári quickly sucked and licked at him, not wanting to waste any of his essence. When he calmed again, she purred, “You taste magnificent. What is your desire now Camthalion?”
With pure lust shining in his eyes, Harry said in a low husky voice, “I want to be in you…pounding you into this mattress.”
“As you wish.” Tári moaned out, and began working him back to a full erection. When he was ready, Harry flipped her over to lie on top of her once again and reinserted two of his long fingers, making sure she was wet for his impending plans. Pulling his fingers from her, he raised them to her mouth, which she opened and proceeded to lick them clean of her juices. Growling at the purely sexual and sensual act, he lined himself up to her and going slow, as she had instructed, he entered her tight, hot, wet pussy.
When he was fully seated within her, he looked down at Tári and seeing her eyes shut tightly, in a thick, lust heavy voice he said, “Merlin…you are so tight…are you alright?”
“I am…more than…alright, Cam. Please…more…AAHHH!” she screamed out as he took the hint and pulled out of her slowly, only to re-enter her in a quick fluid motion. He continued with this pattern for a long time, loving how Tári was coming unglued beneath him and how it felt to have her surround his manhood. As he felt his own release nearing, he began to speed up, raising her legs higher so he could indeed pound into her. In, out, in, out…relentlessly he moved within her at a maddening pace, Tári moaning and panting as she felt her own climax build. Minutes seemed to stretch until she suddenly was overtaken by the feelings and screamed out her orgasm for the second time that evening.
Completely overwhelmed by her increased tightness and the contractions of her inner walls, Harry arched his back as he slammed one final time into the beautiful elf, yelling out his own completion, collapsing on to her when he was completely spent. Carefully, he removed himself from her, taking her in his arms as they both rode out the last of their climaxes.
When he could speak again, Harry asked, “How did I do on my first try?”
“You were amazing, Cam. It’s hard to believe that you’ve never done this before…I guess it’s true what they say…the Dark Elves are natural’s when it comes to the bedroom.” she chuckled out the last bit, joined by a full laugh from Harry.
“That is good to know. As it is after midnight now, I say we get some sleep. I have much training to do tomorrow.” Harry said, as he pulled the blankets over them both.
As sleep started taking hold, Tári said, “As you wish, My Lord.”
Early the next morning, leaving the still sleeping woman in his bed, Harry showered and made his way down to the main dining room of the castle, where Lucius, Bill, Sirius, Charlie and Hecate were already eating breakfast.
Once he was seated, Harry said, “Good morning,” to his companions as Aeroth brought his meal, then stepped back where the other servants stood.
“Good morning, Cam. I hear you had an enjoyable evening.” said a smirking Lucius who was sitting to Harry’s left.
“Oh? How so, Lucius?” Harry asked while raising one of his elegant eyebrows.
“I am the one overseeing your education Cam; therefore, it is my job to know.” Lucius finished with a smug look on his face.
Putting his silver down, Harry looked over to Lucius and in a cold, authoritative tone said, “True, but is it your job to lay my private affairs open for public knowledge? You may be my advisor, Lucius, but do not presume to hold enough sway with me as to take such liberties. What goes on inside my chamber, behind closed doors, is for me to share, not you…do I make myself clear?”
Feeling the coldness rolling off Harry in waves, Lucius shuddered and said, “I apologize, My Lord. I will not make the same mistake again.”
“See that you don’t.” Harry finished sternly, then turned to Bill and asked, “Galdor, are we sparring today as planned?”
“As far as I know, we are. Lucius, what else is on the agenda for today?” asked Bill.
Going over the day’s plans, everyone stood when breakfast was finished. It was only 8am by this point, so Harry had two hours before he needed to meet Bill in the gym. Making his way back to his suite, he entered and went up to his bedroom. Tári was just exiting the bathroom, still wet from her shower, when Harry said, “Good morning, Tári.”
Not hearing her lord walk in, she nearly jumped as he startled her. “AAHH! Oh! Forgive me My Lord…I did not hear you enter. How was your breakfast?”
“It was fine. How long are you to serve me as you did last night?” Harry asked, slowly approaching the woman who only had a towel wrapped around her.
Seeing the lust in his eyes, she slowly undid her towel, letting it fall to the floor as she purred, “As long as you will have me, My Lord. What is your wish?”
By the time she finished her question, Harry was already licking his way from her ear to her collarbone, and huskily said, “I wish to practice some more…” and with that, another intense round began. This time when he entered her, she was standing, facing the wall, his hands firmly holding her hips, pulling her further onto him with each thrust. As they both climaxed, they screamed out each other’s name, then made their way in for a mutual bath, in which Tári once again reverently washed the man that was her lord and now her lover.
Over the next several months, along side his regular training, Tári exclusively taught Harry everything she knew about making love, including oral, vaginal, and anal sex. Nothing was left untried, and by the time Harry’s first year was over, he was well versed in giving and receiving pleasure from a woman.

A week after the disastrous Order meeting, Dumbledore flooed into Grimmauld Place with intentions set on talking to Sirius and Harry. When Remus saw him, he greeted coolly, “Good afternoon, Albus. What can I do for you?”
“I wish to speak to Sirius and Harry. I do remember asking you to have Sirius contact me at his earliest convenience, but as of yet, I have not heard from him.” replied Dumbledore, looking over his half moon spectacles, down his long nose at his former student.
Glaring at the old man, Remus said, “Well, you’ve wasted a trip. Harry is out with Molly and Hermione doing some shopping, and Sirius left a little while ago.”
Shocked at first, Dumbledore quickly composed himself, then shook his head condescendingly and said, “Remus, what were you, Sirius, and Molly thinking? I never approved Harry’s leaving here, or for that matter, Sirius’s leaving. He is a wanted criminal, and Harry is in far too much danger to be off gallivanting. I suggest you go after them and immediately return them to this house. I am very displeased with all of you.”
“If you’re so interested in getting them back, maybe you should go after them. I have no idea where they all went, and even if I did, I wouldn’t go. Who do you think you are, ordering me around like I’m some arrant school boy? I am neither your student or under your guardianship. It would seem the meeting the other night hasn’t done your arrogance any good. We all hoped you’d see the errors that you’ve committed, but I guess that was just wishful thinking. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some important things to do.” said a furious Remus, wanting to quickly floo Molly and tell her what had transpired with the Headmaster before Dumbledore could beat him to the punch.
Dumbledore was fuming by this point and angrily retorted, “Remus, you will stop right there. I’ve had enough of you and all the other Order members questioning my every move. I gave you all a week to cool down, and that is all the time I will allot. I suggest you people figure out what you want to do, or else I will throw you out of this house as well as the Order.”
With the wolf very close to the surface, Remus growled out, “You can try if you like, but you don’t own this house, Sirius does. As for throwing us out of the Order, who will you be left with then? From what I’ve been witness to, you’ll be the only member if you proceed on in this manner. It’s time you figured out that we are not your personal pawns, Albus; we are adults who are more than capable of thinking for ourselves, and last I checked, we don’t call you My Lord.”
“I quite agree, Remus.” said Moody from the doorway. “What has gotten into you this year, Albus, and when did you decide to elevate yourself to Lord and Master of the Order?”
“I have always presided over the Order, Moody, as you very well know. What I’d like to know is when all of you decided to start questioning my direct orders?” asked Dumbledore.
Glaring at his once friend, Moody ground out through clenched teeth, “We started questioning you when your orders seemed unjustified and unreasonable. Like Remus said, we CAN think for ourselves…we don’t need or want you doing that for us. So what will it be, Albus…going to kick us all out of YOUR Order?”
Reeling back from the sheer animosity pouring off the two men, Dumbledore said, “I wasn’t aware that this is how you two felt. If you are that unhappy being in the group, you will not be looked down upon for quitting it. You have both served many years…maybe it is time for a change.”
“See, that’s the problem…we never served…we volunteered to help. When did you lose sight of that? As for leaving the Order, that’s fine by me…how about you, Remus?” stated Moody.
Remus gave a lopsided grin to Moody and said, “I’m fine with it. It’s not like we do anything productive anyway. You’ll have to find a new place for your meetings, Dumbledore as this house will no longer be available to you. I know you’re going to go off about it being Sirius’s decision, but trust me when I say that Moody and I won’t be the only ones quitting the Order. Now, I believe it is time for you to leave…and don’t come back.”
“I am not leaving without Harry. He is under my direct care, therefore, I will wait for him to return, and then we will both leave.” said Dumbledore firmly.
“Do as you will, Dumbledore. Moody, would you like to accompany on my little trip?” asked Remus, Moody instantly knowing that he and Remus would be heading out back to the Warding Stone, to reset it to no longer accept Dumbledore. When Sirius agreed to let the Order use his house, along with himself, he asked Remus, Moody, Arthur, and Bill to be in charge of the stone, dictating who could enter and who could not. It took two people to alter the wards, and once Remus and Moody had done so, Dumbledore was transported out of headquarters faster than he could say Lemon Drop.
Within a few weeks, most of the Order had resigned, leaving only Dumbledore, Snape, and Mundungus Fletcher as members. As the end of August approached, in the confines of Grimmauld Place, Remus, Arthur, and Molly gathered the 25 or so ex-Order members, asked them all to take an oath of secrecy, and explained what little they knew of the new Light and Dark Lords. This included how Harry and Bill were directly involved, as well as Sirius and Charlie.
Before the four left at the beginning of August, Harry released Remus from his oath, along with Bill releasing Arthur and Molly, with the understanding that they would only speak about what was going on if they had secrecy oaths from any new people AND if they felt that Harry and Bill would be helped drastically by their revealing any information.
To say the people crowded around the kitchen table were shocked would be an understatement, but with Minerva and Moody both giving detailed descriptions, having lived long enough to remember the old ways, most were instantly ready to help in anyway they could. Some, however, wanted to wait and see how Harry and Bill came back from their training and judge the situation then, but of those holding out, all of them promised to keep an open mind and continue to fight against Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
After the meeting was over, Arthur and Remus asked Moody, Kingsley, and Tonks to stay behind. When everyone else was gone, Remus said, “We wanted to tell you one other piece of information that we omitted from our explanation. Magic’s Governor is Lucius Malfoy and he’s been assisting Harry and Bill since Halloween. He is the reason Harry was able to successfully complete his OWL’s and NEWT’s early, receiving all O’s. He’s also continuing to spy on Riddle, and will be forwarding any information to either Arthur or me. I wanted you to know this so you could possibly assist him should he run into any legal trouble, or at the very least, not actively seek him out as a current Death Eater.”
“Lucius Malfoy, as in THE Lucius Malfoy…my estranged Uncle…Death Eater extraordinaire…is actually aiding Bill and Harry?” asked Tonks.
“Yes, Tonks. He’s actually been very helpful…but just to make you feel better, Sirius still doesn’t like him much, but does tolerate him for Harry’s sake. So, can we count on you three to help Lucius if the need should arise? He really has changed, according to Harry, Bill, and Sirius.” said Remus, and after a little more discussion, the three Aurors left with an agreement to assist Lucius and by this, also Harry and Bill.
The evening of September 1st saw Remus sitting in the library of Grimmauld Place, with Arthur and Molly, enjoying the first quiet evening since the start of summer, when an expected owl arrived bearing a letter from one Albus Dumbledore. It read:
Mr. Lupin,
As guardian to Harry Potter, I am demanding that you and Mr. Black release him to my care and allow him to attend Hogwarts. If you do not have Mr. Potter at the school by tomorrow morning, I will be forced to bring in the authorities. This is unacceptable, and will be dealt with.
Albus P.W.B. Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts
Supreme Mugwump
Order of Merlin, First Class
“Well, it’s as we thought…he’s threatening to bring in the authorities. I say, let them come. Sirius left everything so that if anyone questioned my living here, I’d be able to prove partial ownership of this place, and when they search it and find nothing, Albus won’t have a leg to stand on.” stated Remus.
“Just remember to put your memories into a pensieve, before they come tomorrow. Where did you decide to hide it, so that I can retrieve the pensieve when the commotion is over with?” asked Arthur.
Smirking, Remus said, “That’s a very good question, Arthur. I thought it would be quite worthy of the Marauders if I were to actually hide the pensieve within the Ministry…feel up to a little extra baggage tomorrow?”
Giving a smirk of his own, Arthur said, “Why Remus, old chap…I believe I do.”
“I swear…you’re a bad influence on my husband, Remus.” said Molly, chuckling at the two men in the room.
“Not at all, my dear…where do you think the twins get it from?” asked Arthur teasingly.
“Arthur! What am I going to do with you?” Molly said, throwing her hands up in exaggeration.
“Oh, I don’t know, but I could think of a few things.” said Arthur, waggling his eyebrows at the love of his life.
“Men! It’s all you think about!” yelled Molly playfully, and with that the three laughed for quite awhile, both Arthur and Remus sharing many stories of their prankster days.
Sure enough, the next day the house was raided and Remus was questioned under Veritaserum. As planned, no evidence was found that Harry was or had ever been to Grimmauld Place, or that Remus knew of his whereabouts. After an apology from Amelia Bones, Head of the DMLE, the Auror’s left, and shortly after, Arthur showed up with the pensieve and Remus retrieved his memories. Albus Dumbledore was furious and stormed the Ministry demanding that they search again, but Amelia squashed that as soon as he arrived saying they had found absolutely nothing, and searching again would not do them any good, only leave the Ministry open to a law suit.
So as September rolled into October, Dumbledore was still fuming over losing Harry, and the fact that he no longer had his Order to help him out. Lucius was very busy reintroducing the public and the Ministry to the old ways, with several articles being published in every newspaper he could think of. Also, with his spying, he was able to forewarn the new Order of Magic, who was then able to stop several raids that Voldemort had launched against Muggles or Muggle sympathizers. Lucius was also successful in clearing Sirius’s name, finally bringing Peter Pettigrew into custody forcing the Ministry to see the error they had made and once that was done, the Ministry made an official apology and granted 5 million galleons as compensation for the wrongful imprisonment.
The night of the Halloween crept up faster than anyone could have expected and with the exception of Dumbledore, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves at the feast. Suddenly, the Headmaster sat up straighter when he felt the wards inform him of eleven new people entering the grounds. A few minutes later, the Great Hall doors banged open, causing many of the students to either pull their wands, or scream out in surprise.
The quiet that descended was almost instantaneous when the eleven robed figures walked in, faces shrouded by deep hoods on their long flowing robes. “Who are you, and what do you want?” yelled Dumbledore, who was standing, wand raised along with all of the teaching staff.
“It is good to see you again, Albus, although I have to say that I am greatly displeased with the way you have handled things these last 54 years.” said the shortest of the group, in a melodic woman’s tone.
Recognizing the voice instantly, Dumbledore paled, but said, “Hecate, I was not expecting you this evening. What may I do for you?”
“You may do nothing for me, Albus. I have come to bestow upon your world my Chosen.” she said, dropping her hood so everyone could see the absolute beauty that was Hecate.
“I was under the assumption you had already chosen your Lords.” said Dumbledore, feeling nervous and irritated all at the same time.
Walking further up the aisle between the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables, she said, “I can feel that you are irritated as well as nervous by the possibility that I will out your assumed position, and I have to say, you are correct. You may have been my Chosen years ago, but when you renounced the sacrifices that I required, you were no longer considered. Also, if you have been under the impression that this Voldemort character is the other Lord, you have been sadly mistaken. You, Albus killed off my other Chosen in an attempt to out maneuver me, but you have failed.”
As her speech progressed, the air in the room cooled along with her voice. It was very apparent to all those present that she was not at all happy with the Headmaster. Not wanting to give up, Dumbledore said, “I am truly sorry if I have done something to displease you, Hecate, as that was never my intention. I have always tried to do what I felt was best for the wizarding world.”
Eyes blazing with an inner fire, Hecate sternly replied, “Therein lies the problem. Who are you to decide what is best for this world, a world that only has magic because I allow it? You have done nothing but upset the balance, and if it weren’t for the new Lords, I would have stripped you all of my gift.”
Gasps could be heard by many, and then whispers began to break out. After a few moments, Hecate spoke again, “All of you listen well. I am Hecate, Goddess of Magic, and I am here to bestow upon you the true Lords of Magic and bring back the balance that is required for my gift to continue on. It is because of Albus Dumbledore that none of you know of the old ways, with the exception of a few of you. Do not question my Chosen, and live by the laws in which they have been well versed. From this day forward, you will abide by your Lords, or I will forever remove magic from this plane of existence.”
“Hecate, maybe we should retire to my office and discuss this further?” asked Dumbledore, desperate to salvage what little he had left.
“You will be silent, Albus, or I will make sure of it. You have no control over me or my Chosen. Your time is through, make no mistake about that.” Hecate stated.
Turning back to the assembly she continued, “Let me introduce you to my companions. First, representing the Daily Prophet, Ms. Rita Skeeter; and next to her, representing the Quibbler, and on direct request of one of your Lords, Mr. Oren Lovegood. They are here to ensure that the truth is printed without interference. Now, I would like to introduce the sponsors of your Lords, Mr. Charles Weasley and Mr. Sirius Black.” at the gasps these names produced as their hoods lowered, Hecate paused for a few moments.
Once the hall was quiet once again, she went on, “The next three people I would like to introduce you to are all members of The Order of Magic, a group of people determined to see their Lords successful in their endeavors; Mr. Arthur Weasley, Mrs. Molly Weasley, and Mr. Remus Lupin. With their help, and the help of several others, I am quite sure this world will flourish in the future.”
“Now, it is my pleasure to introduce to you, the three most important men in all of this. The first was chosen for his wisdom and influence within this world and will be the advisor to your Lords, ensuring all matters pertaining to my laws and beliefs are taken care of. I introduce to you, Magic’s Governor, Mr. Lucius Malfoy.” she paused once again when he removed his hood, bringing about even more gasps and whispers as it was revealed to all that it was indeed who she said it was.
“Lastly, I come to my Chosen. Over the countless years that I have lived, never have I picked two more worthy people to guide and rule over magic. The Lord of the Light and the Lord of the Dark will oversee their domains to ensure no one side dominates the other and by doing so, will need to be harsh but fair in their judgments and punishments for any of you who dare try to go against them. They have trained for years to take their place among you and I am sure they will bring about the balance required to ensure magic is gifted to you all for many years to come. I give to you, Galdor Anwarünya, formally known as William Arthur Weasley, your Lord of the Light; and Camthalion Tinehtelë, formally known as Harry James Potter, your Lord of the Dark.”
As Bill and Harry removed their hoods, the hall went deathly quiet and the two Lords exchanged knowing smiles. When, after a few minutes, no one spoke, Harry decided to end the silence and as he bowed his head ever so slightly, he said, “Greetings to you all.”

Well, there you go. It is a very long chapter, but I wanted to get Harry back to real time as quickly as possible. You will learn more about his training later, in bits and pieces. In the next chapter, Harry and Bill receive their gifts, so it will be emotional. Hopefully, I will be posting the new chapter later today or this evening. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, and I hope you continue to read this story. Haymak/Volleygirl
To all my readers on Adultffnet, there will by male/male pairings in this story, but considering Harry is Bisexual, I decided to start him off with a female. Question? What male do you want to see Harry with first, and should he be bottom or top?
Thoughts are in Italics
Hecate is in Bold Italics only when in the nothingness orb
//Denotes Phoenix speak//
The time shift: 1 day in earth time equals 1 month in orb time.
I will use Bill and Harry’s names in combination with their new names but after this chapter, they will be called Camthalion and Galdor.
Greetings To You All
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The day after their transformations, Hecate summoned Harry and Bill to the ritual room once again. When they entered, Hecate said, “Camthalion and Galdor please have a seat. As promised, I will bestow upon you tonight, the gifts I have chosen in reward for the sacrifices you both have made.”
Looking over to Bill first, Hecate stated, “Galdor, with my sincerest gratitude, I gift to you the security of your family. I have looked deep within your soul and see that this is your truest desire. It is admirable of you to not want riches for yourself, but a secure future for the Weasley line. When you return to your time, the Weasley Family will receive this gift bestowed from me to you and will forevermore flourish in the bounty of my good grace so long as none turn against my beliefs. So Mote It Be!”
With an awe filled tone, Bill said, “I thank you, my Goddess.”
“You are very welcome, Galdor. It is my pleasure.” she said, smiling down upon her Light Lord.
Next, she turned to Harry and said, “Camthalion, with my sincerest gratitude, I gift to you the life of your parents. I have looked deep within your soul and see that this is your truest desire. You have suffered many years without their guidance and love, but that will no longer be the case. When you return to your time, the Potter Family will be reunited on the night of All Hallows Eve. May you forevermore know the love of a parent and give that in return to your own child or children may the fates bless you with them. So Mote It Be!”
Harry may well be a Dark Elf, a Vampire, and the future Dark Lord, but with tears rolling down his face, Harry looked up at Hecate and said in a choked voice, “I thank you, my Goddess.”
“You are very welcome, Camthalion. It is my pleasure.” said Hecate, giving Harry a reassuring smile as he pulled himself back together. Once he was composed, she said, “I have chosen to wait till you return so that nothing disrupts your training. I do hope you understand.”
“I do understand, and again, I thank you.” finished Harry.
Giving both her Chosen a kiss on the cheek, she said, “You both have made me very proud, and I know that I could not have chosen better.”
XXXXXXX (Scene Break) XXXXXXX
Six days after Harry, Bill, Lucius, Charlie and Sirius left, Dumbledore called an Order meeting to discuss the lull in activity concerning Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Once everyone was seated at the kitchen table, Dumbledore surveyed the room and noticing that three members were not present so asked, “Where are Bill, Charlie and Sirius?”
Molly quickly looked at her husband and Remus, then answered according to the story they’d come up with, “Bill and Charlie have been caught up at work, but I’m not sure where Sirius is.”
Remus picked up from there and said, “Sirius isn’t feeling very well this evening, so I gave him a few potions, one of which is a dreamless sleep, so obviously, he won’t be able to make it down.”
Dumbledore was not happy about this, and giving a disappointed look said, “This is unacceptable. I called for a full Order meeting, not a come if you’re available meeting.”
“Unfortunately, life sometimes gets in the way, Albus. Would you rather my boys lose their jobs and the connection those jobs offer you so that they could be here for a mandatory meeting?” asked Molly.
“No, of course not, I was merely shocked that three order members did not show. Remus what exactly is wrong with Sirius? Is it so bad that he could not at least sit in on this meeting?” asked Dumbledore.
Giving Dumbledore a disbelieving look, Remus said, “What good would it serve to have a sick man, asleep on Dreamless Sleep, sit in on this meeting? I’m afraid the years in Azkaban sometimes make themselves known through nightmares and this causes him to become violently ill. He’ll be fine after he sleeps, this has happened a few times over the last year, and by morning, he’ll most likely be up and about.”
Dumbledore, sensing something was off looked at Molly, Arthur, and Remus and said, “Very well, but tell each of them I wish to speak with them at their earliest convenience.”
After receiving nods from the three in question, Dumbledore continued on with the meeting. Snape was called upon to report, but had nothing to say as he’d not been summoned in over a month, and this set a few people on edge. After receiving a few more unimportant reports from various others around the table, Albus said, “Well, as we have no new information, I’d like for everyone to keep their eyes and ears open for any news you may come across. Is there anything else that needs to be discuss?”
Moody, deciding that this meeting was a waste of time, decided to let his grievance be known and said, “Albus, what was so important that you decided to call a mandatory meeting? I was close to nailing a few suspected Death Eaters and had to leave their trail to come here. If Snape has nothing to offer, you’ve just wasted a great deal of my time that could’ve been better used capturing those criminals.”
Kingsley also put in his two cents by saying, “You told us that you’d only call a mandatory meeting when there was an emergency or when there was vital information needed to be shared. I, so far, haven’t seen any reason to all of this, and will probably be put on probation, or even suspension, when I get back to work for leaving my post without approval. This could be very costly to my being able to supply you with information. Every time I have to leave, it gets harder and harder to come up with reasonable excuses for my absences. I believe in this organization, but I will not lose my career over bogus meetings like tonight.”
Many around the table nodded in agreement to Moody and Kingsley’s statements, with some offering their own woes about how hard it was to get away for all these meetings. Dumbledore was not at all happy with the dissention in his group, so putting on a stern, disappointed look he said, “It is not your place to question why I deem it necessary to call meetings, whether you feel they are needed or not. When I call a meeting, regardless if you understand why it’s important, you are to come and as your leader, that is my final say in this matter. Now…”
Getting angrier by the minute, Moody stood up and slammed his fist down while he growled out, “Who do you think you are, Albus? We are not just things to be ordered around…last I checked this is a volunteer based group, formed to help fight evil and injustice, not an army under your direct command. I take insult to the way you’ve treating everyone lately, especially tonight. How dare you question these men and women about their whereabouts or any other matter that doesn’t concern you. You need us more than we need you….remember that.”
Looking around at the 30 or so members of his Order, he could see that most were in agreement with Moody and where taking offense to what had transpired so far. Letting a little of the twinkle out, Dumbledore said, “I apologize to you all…the lack of activity and information from Voldemort has me a bit on edge and I did not mean to offend any of you. Please accept an old man’s mistake.”
“Your apology is all well and good, Albus, but you’ve yet to tell us what was so important that you had to disrupt our lives and potentially cost us our employment?” asked Kingsley.
“Forgive me…I will endeavor to explain my reasoning.” said Dumbledore, letting his fury over being questioned stew inwardly, while his face held a look of concern and understanding. Needing to come up with a quick topic, he decided to bring up Harry’s behavior this year. He learned long ago that anything to do with the young man was usually good for stirring everyone’s emotions.
“This year, I noticed that Harry has been pulling back from his friends, and sadly, myself. At Halloween, he received a mysterious letter during the feast that came with an unusual black bird. He has yet to share the contents of this letter, but shortly thereafter, he became very secretive and has spent much of his time alone. This concerns me for a couple of reasons; the first being that prior to this year, he would have shared the information contained within the letter, but instead, claimed that it was a personal matter and said nothing further. I have tried on several occasions to bring it up, but have been unsuccessful thus far. I am unable to understand why he has lost faith and trust in me.”
Taking a sip of his tea, Dumbledore continued, “The second aspect that concerns me is the fact that he has also pulled away from his friends. We all know the ‘Golden Trio’, as they are called, have always been very tight, but when I questioned Ron and Hermione, they had no explanation as to what the letter contained or why Harry seemed more distant this year. With the war upon us once again, we need to make sure that Harry is not being influenced by others not of the Order. I can not go into why, but Harry is vital to the fall of the Dark. I would like to know if any of you have been made privy to what is going on.”
Minerva, who had been silent up to this point, put on stern accusatory look and said, “Perhaps, Albus, if you had not tried to invade Harry’s mind the evening of Halloween, by use of Legilimency, he would be more open with you. I know for a fact that he values his privacy immensely, and by trying to take the information from him against his wishes, you shattered the trust Harry had in you. I, for one, am surprised that he didn’t hex you for doing that…Merlin knows I would have.”
“You tried to force the information from Harry?” asked Tonks, giving Dumbledore a look that showed just how wrong she thought he was.
“No wonder Harry’s pulled away from you!” said an angry Moody.
“How could you, Albus?” said Molly, completely shocked by the Headmaster’s actions.
Retreating to a dark corner of the room, as the events unfolded, Severus Snape smirked as Albus dug himself deeper and deeper into a fathomless hole. He’d been observing the absolute control that Dumbledore sought to instill over the Order of the Phoenix for many months now, but hadn’t said anything as of yet…and more than likely wouldn’t for quite some time. As the arguing continued, Snape thought, ‘It’s time to see how this all plays out in the future…no need to show my cards just yet.’
Realizing that things were getting out of hand, Dumbledore raised his hands to forestall anymore questions and said, “I did what was necessary to protect Harry. He is number one of Voldemort’s hit list, and taking into account that it was Halloween, a day in which Tom usually tries something to remind Harry of his parent’s deaths, I was highly concerned. He would not tell us the contents of this mysterious letter, so I did the only thing I could.”
“Albus, if Harry said it was personal, why did you not take his reason at face value? Do you always need to know everything Harry receives via owl or bird? If the note had been from someone wishing him harm, I’m sure he would’ve told you or Minerva.” said Tonks.
Now Dumbledore was furious, and his face reflected this for a few moments causing many in the room to shift in their seats. Moody looked at Dumbledore in a new light, then noticed Kingsley, Tonks, Remus, Arthur, and Molly all had the same shocked but disgusted looks to their faces. By letting his true colors show for the first time, little did the Headmaster know that this night would trigger the beginning of the end to his supposed rule.
Feeling the need to defend his cub, Remus spoke up, “What I’d like to know is why you tried to get information from his two best friends behind his back. Harry probably found out about it, and therefore refuses to share anything that he doesn’t want you to know about…I believe you’ve done quite a bit of damage this year, Albus.”
“That is ENOUGH!” roared Dumbledore. “I will not sit here and take the blame for Harry’s secretive nature. It is my job to ensure the boy’s safety and I will use whatever means necessary to do so. I will not allow you to question my means or my motives concerning any of this….is that clearly understood?”
Shaking his head, Kingsley stated, “No, Dumbledore, I don’t believe it is. What right do you have to invade anyone’s privacy? Like Tonks said, if Harry had been in danger, I’m sure he would’ve shared the letter with you, however, snooping into his mind and going behind his back and using his friends to get answer’s he obviously wasn’t willing to share with you…it’s no wonder he doesn’t trust you.”
Arthur, the usually happy but quiet man backed Kingsley’s statement with one of his own, by saying, “I, for one, think you’ve over stepped the boundaries of what is needed to ensure Harry’s safety, and as a member of this Order, I’ll not stand for you abusing your position as our leader or as Harry’s Headmaster. Do you read everything that is sent to my children, or for that matter, to the rest of the students within Hogwarts? Harry has the right to privacy and he should not be assaulted for keeping private thoughts and information from you or anyone else…for all we know, the letter could’ve been something as trivial as a bank statement, which no one has the right to see.”
Standing, while letting a little of his power flow off to intimidate those present, Dumbledore angrily replied, “I said I would not stand for you questioning me! I am the leader of this organization, and what I say, goes. I can assure you that the letter delivered was not a bank statement, as I receive all of Harry’s correspondence from Gringotts personally. This matter is one that needs to be dealt…”
“YOU WHAT?!” screamed Molly, Remus, and Emmeline Vance, while at the same time, Moody, Tonks, and Kingsley yelled, “THAT’S ILLEGAL!” Many of the others seated at the table also exclaimed their feeling on the matter until Dumbledore shouted, “SILENCE!”
Once everyone was quite, Dumbledore said in a very cold voice, the likes none of the Order had ever heard, “I don’t care if you think what I am doing is fair or just, you are my subordinates and will do as you are told. Harry is far too young to understand financial matters, so as his guardian, I handle all of that for him. Now, as you are all a little out of sorts tonight, I’ll call this meeting to a close, but next time, you had better be a bit more cooperative. Goodnight.”
Kingsley, having witnessed more than enough of Dumbledore’s attitude lately, said, “You know what, Dumbledore….I quit! I’m an Auror, assigned to uphold the laws, not break them, whether you feel justified in doing so or not. You claim to care for Harry, as his guardian, but every year you send him to those despicable muggles claiming he is safest their. I know for a fact that each year he begs you not to send him back there, but you never listen to him, or for that matter any of us. Over the last few months, you’ve become more and more unreasonable in your demands….yes, Albus, you demand not ask us to do things for you. You expect each of us, as well as Harry and his friends, to tell you absolutely everything and risk our lives for you, but do not hold yourself to the same. I find that intolerable, and won’t stand for it any longer. I’m not your servant, Albus…that status is reserved for Death Eaters who blindly follow an evil master.”
“If that is how you feel, then I’m sorry, Kingsley, but you’ll not be leaving here with any information.” said Dumbledore as he lifted his wand to obliviate the Auror.
As the first syllable began to form, the Headmaster soon found himself on the wrong end of about 20 wands, with Moody saying, “I wouldn’t if I were you, Albus. I suggest you put down your wand…now! What were you planning to do….erase all our memories? How many times have you done this to us before, when you didn’t like us holding you to the same moral standards the rest of us follow?”
Taking his seat slowly, Dumbledore looked at all those present, and sighed. This was not how he envisioned things going, and with a false look of regret, he said, “Please believe me when I say that nothing like this has ever happened before. I don’t know what got into me tonight…I am truly sorry.”
“I believe that we should all take a few days to calm down. This evenings events will be dealt with at a later date…but Albus, if you wish to remain the leader of this group, you had better start abiding by the same rules and laws that we do.” said Moody gruffly.
As the disastrous meeting came to an end, Dumbledore left with a promise to do better as their leader, while inside he was raging at the gall of these lesser people questioning him about his motives and means. ‘One way or the other,’ the headmaster thought, ‘these people will obey me…I wonder if there are any potions that could be used to instill their obedience?’

As the Order meeting raged on, Harry and Bill were just finishing up their sixth month of training. So far they had primarily concentrated on the physical side of their training and learning the laws and rights that their positions carried. Lucius was assigned to teach them about their roles, as Magic’s Governor, and was proving to be a hard task master, but very thorough.
Under the guise of being on vacation, at the end of the seventh month, Lucius had to leave the orb because in real time he could not be gone for more than seven days. When he returned, he would continue to work the Ministry into accepting the new Lords, and carry on with his spying on Voldemort. He would be back periodically to continue their education, but Hecate would oversee it in his absence, pushing the more magical aspects to the forefront. It was important that Lucius handled the training concerning their roles and the laws that govern them, as he would be Harry and Bill’s advisor, so the building of trust and a complete understanding on the parts of the three most powerful people was paramount.
Harry had just finished his last workout for the day at around 9pm, and was headed back to his suite, when he was joined by Hecate on his journey. “Good evening, Camthalion. How did your physical training go this evening?”
“It went well, my Goddess. I was just heading back to my room to shower and rest. Was there something you needed from me?” asked Harry.
“I believe you need to learn something new this night, as it will be required later on in your magical training. When you arrive at your room, Aeroth will inform you as to what will be happening. I do believe you will enjoy this new experience.” said Hecate.
“If it is your will, then I shall follow it. Good evening.” Harry said with a bow to Hecate, then entered his suite.
Once inside, Aeroth greeted Harry and said, “Good evening, My Lord.”
Passing his servant the bag he was carrying, Harry said, “Hello, Aeroth. Hecate said you had some instructions for my training this night. What is it that I need to do?”
“Your trainer is here, awaiting you in the master bath. I am to tell you to enjoy yourself and to have a pleasant night, My Lord.” finished Aeroth, who left right away.
“Odd.” said Harry aloud.
Making his way upstairs, Harry entered his bedroom, and then went right to the master bath as he’d been instructed. Upon entering, he noticed a young woman drawing a bath, clad only in a sheer dressing gown and g-string. Hearing someone enter, she turned around, then realizing who it was, bowed before him and said, “My Lord…I am Tári Amandil. It is a pleasure to serve you.”
Understanding what the new training was, Harry stepped forward and taking her chin in his hand, he gently raised her from the bowing position to examine this beautiful elf woman before him. Tári had dark skin that showcased her tall, slender but firm, 5’9” frame that glowed in the candle light that now consumed the room. Her hair hung down to the middle of her thighs, in straight golden beams that shimmered when she moved, and her violet eyes danced with anticipation of what was to come.
Reaching out while looking in his servant’s eyes, Harry gently released the bindings on the robe, then, without touching her skin, he brushed the material off her shoulders until it puddle at her feet. Letting his eyes wander, he took in Tári’s pert breasts that were large, but not overly so, then noticed that her pubic area was barren of hair. Circling around behind her, drinking in her glorious figure and taking in how her thin waist curved outward to form round, full buttocks, he finished his slow, stalking lap ending in front of her again, only this time it was mere inches that separated them.
“You are a very beautiful woman, Tári. Tell me, what were your instructions?” Harry asked.
“I am to service your every wish and desire, My Lord. You need only tell me what that is.” said the young servant.
“Very well, Tári. I wish to refresh myself after my workout this night, so finish preparing my bath.” he said.
“As you will it, My Lord.”
When Tári was finished, she turned and asked, “May I undress you, My Lord?”
“Yes.” said Harry, never ceasing his visual exploration of her perfect body.
Tári raised her hands to the ties that held his sleeveless tunic on and slowly began unlacing them. As she descended down his torso, more and more skin became apparent, then when she finally finished, she ran her hands softly back up the exposed skin, over his now revealed nipples and across his muscular chest up to his shoulders. Pausing for a few moments, she hooked her index fingers onto the fabric then slid it down his well defined arms, over his wrists, then off his hands to land in a heap on the floor.
Taking her hands in his, he helped her to kneel in front of him so she could undo his tight pants. When she had them unfastened, Tári bent down to take his shoes off, and placed each off to the side before reaching up and slowly slipped his pants from his body. Once he was naked, she turned back to him and gasped at the sheer size of his manhood, which was only half erect. It was long and thick, and she began thanking the Goddess for this wonderful assignment.
Still kneeling close to his erection and loving the purely masculine scent wafting over her, Tári looked up to her lord and asked, “May I taste you, My Lord?”
“No, you will bathe me first.” said Harry, then leaving her kneeling, he went into the massive tub, knowing she would follow. Once she entered the bathing pool, she took a pitcher from the side of the tub, filled it, and began pouring it over his hair to wet it for washing. Once his long, wavy hair was shampooed and conditioned, she soaped up a cloth and starting at his neck, she reverently washed every piece of exposed skin. As she came closer to his nether regions, Tári paused and was slightly shocked that her lord had not hardened any further from her ministrations.
Sensing that something was wrong, due to the fact that Tári had stopped, Harry opened his eyes and quietly said, “Is there a problem?”
“No, My Lord. I was just shocked that you have not hardened beyond what you were when you stepped into the pool. Am I not pleasing you, My Lord?”
“It is not that at all. I am simply relaxing under your wonderful care, after a long hard day. Take no offense to my supposed disinterest…that will soon change. Continue.”
“Of course, My Lord.”
A short while later, the young servant said, “I am finished, My Lord. What is your next wish of me?”
Looking at her beautiful face, he said, “Stand.”
Tári stood as she was instructed and with only her mid thigh and below still in the water, she was shocked when she felt his hand land on her waist, using it turn her more towards him. With only inches between his face and her hairless vagina, he began rubbing his thumb across her slender hip, then leaned forward to licked a few of the droplets of water from the area where her leg and upper body connected, eliciting a moan from the woman standing before him.
“You liked that?” Harry asked, his voice becoming huskier with the lust he was feeling.
“Yes, My Lord…very much.” Tári responded, hoping he would do it again.
Pulling her more to him, he slid both his hands around to her rounded globes, and as he kneed them gently, he slowly licked a path from one hip to the next, barely above her folds. Deciding he wanted to explore further, Harry stood, lifting her up as he went and wrapped her legs around him, then brought them both out of the bathing pool. Without drying off, he left the bathroom, making his way gracefully to the oversized bed.
Laying Tári down, Harry crawled over her and continued his exploration of her body. Starting at her neck, he began to lick and kiss his way down to her breasts, loving how he caused her nipples to stand fully erect, then took one of them into his mouth, sucking and nipping at the pert nipple, bringing more wonderful sounds from the woman below him. Leaving her breasts, Harry made his way further down Tári’s body, where he stopped at her naval and used his tongue to circle it and every so often inserted it, relishing in the fact that this action seemed to drive her wild.
“Tári, tell me what you want.” Harry said in a low seductive voice. Never having done this before, Harry wanted to be sure that he learned to do this well.
“I want you to lick my clitoris, and suck it….I want you to taste me and play with me with your long fingers….” she trailed off.
Lying between her legs, Harry reached up to Tári folds, parted them and got his first real look at a woman. Completely enthralled with what lie before him, he did as she said and gently licked her, groaning at her wonderful taste as she bucked up from the sensation. Knowing Tári was enjoying herself, he licked her again, this time with a little more force, then suck at the very sensitive nub, and as Harry continued to do this, she gasped and moaned out, encouraging him to do more.
In a breathy voice she said, “My Lord….more, please.”
Without waiting any longer, he left her clit, trailing his tongue further down to lick at her juices that now pooled at her opening. He then inserted two of his long, thick fingers causing her to buck even harder. Winding his free arm around her thigh, he used his other hand to work her clit while he fingered her and sucked in her flavor. In no time, he had her panting and writhing until suddenly, she arched up off the bed and screamed out her climax. Slowing his insertion into her vagina, but not stopping, he lifted his head to look upon Tári while she experienced her orgasm and was surprised by the intensity that overtook the young woman.
When she began to come back to reality, he moved up her body and shared her flavor by kissing the beautiful elf servant with such ferocity that it left them both breathless. When they both were breathing more normal again, Tári asked, “May I taste you now, My Lord.”
“Yes, you may….and Tári, when we are so intimately involved, you will call me Cam or Camthalion.” said Harry.
Moving to lay on top of her lord, she kissed him once more before making her way down his torso, licking and nipping in a similar fashion as he had done to her. When at long last she was close to his manhood, she took the enormous cock in her hand and began pumping him ever so slowly, allowing her thumb to rub the tip with each stroke. Spurred on by his moans of pleasure, she took him into her mouth while she continued to pump his lower shaft.
“AAHH! Damn that feels amazing!” said Harry while arching up to get more of his cock into her mouth, enjoying his first ever blow job.
She worked his penis for several long minutes, using her hands and mouth, then without warning, he exploded into the warm cavern that surrounded him, roaring out in his release. Loving the taste of her lord, Tári quickly sucked and licked at him, not wanting to waste any of his essence. When he calmed again, she purred, “You taste magnificent. What is your desire now Camthalion?”
With pure lust shining in his eyes, Harry said in a low husky voice, “I want to be in you…pounding you into this mattress.”
“As you wish.” Tári moaned out, and began working him back to a full erection. When he was ready, Harry flipped her over to lie on top of her once again and reinserted two of his long fingers, making sure she was wet for his impending plans. Pulling his fingers from her, he raised them to her mouth, which she opened and proceeded to lick them clean of her juices. Growling at the purely sexual and sensual act, he lined himself up to her and going slow, as she had instructed, he entered her tight, hot, wet pussy.
When he was fully seated within her, he looked down at Tári and seeing her eyes shut tightly, in a thick, lust heavy voice he said, “Merlin…you are so tight…are you alright?”
“I am…more than…alright, Cam. Please…more…AAHHH!” she screamed out as he took the hint and pulled out of her slowly, only to re-enter her in a quick fluid motion. He continued with this pattern for a long time, loving how Tári was coming unglued beneath him and how it felt to have her surround his manhood. As he felt his own release nearing, he began to speed up, raising her legs higher so he could indeed pound into her. In, out, in, out…relentlessly he moved within her at a maddening pace, Tári moaning and panting as she felt her own climax build. Minutes seemed to stretch until she suddenly was overtaken by the feelings and screamed out her orgasm for the second time that evening.
Completely overwhelmed by her increased tightness and the contractions of her inner walls, Harry arched his back as he slammed one final time into the beautiful elf, yelling out his own completion, collapsing on to her when he was completely spent. Carefully, he removed himself from her, taking her in his arms as they both rode out the last of their climaxes.
When he could speak again, Harry asked, “How did I do on my first try?”
“You were amazing, Cam. It’s hard to believe that you’ve never done this before…I guess it’s true what they say…the Dark Elves are natural’s when it comes to the bedroom.” she chuckled out the last bit, joined by a full laugh from Harry.
“That is good to know. As it is after midnight now, I say we get some sleep. I have much training to do tomorrow.” Harry said, as he pulled the blankets over them both.
As sleep started taking hold, Tári said, “As you wish, My Lord.”
Early the next morning, leaving the still sleeping woman in his bed, Harry showered and made his way down to the main dining room of the castle, where Lucius, Bill, Sirius, Charlie and Hecate were already eating breakfast.
Once he was seated, Harry said, “Good morning,” to his companions as Aeroth brought his meal, then stepped back where the other servants stood.
“Good morning, Cam. I hear you had an enjoyable evening.” said a smirking Lucius who was sitting to Harry’s left.
“Oh? How so, Lucius?” Harry asked while raising one of his elegant eyebrows.
“I am the one overseeing your education Cam; therefore, it is my job to know.” Lucius finished with a smug look on his face.
Putting his silver down, Harry looked over to Lucius and in a cold, authoritative tone said, “True, but is it your job to lay my private affairs open for public knowledge? You may be my advisor, Lucius, but do not presume to hold enough sway with me as to take such liberties. What goes on inside my chamber, behind closed doors, is for me to share, not you…do I make myself clear?”
Feeling the coldness rolling off Harry in waves, Lucius shuddered and said, “I apologize, My Lord. I will not make the same mistake again.”
“See that you don’t.” Harry finished sternly, then turned to Bill and asked, “Galdor, are we sparring today as planned?”
“As far as I know, we are. Lucius, what else is on the agenda for today?” asked Bill.
Going over the day’s plans, everyone stood when breakfast was finished. It was only 8am by this point, so Harry had two hours before he needed to meet Bill in the gym. Making his way back to his suite, he entered and went up to his bedroom. Tári was just exiting the bathroom, still wet from her shower, when Harry said, “Good morning, Tári.”
Not hearing her lord walk in, she nearly jumped as he startled her. “AAHH! Oh! Forgive me My Lord…I did not hear you enter. How was your breakfast?”
“It was fine. How long are you to serve me as you did last night?” Harry asked, slowly approaching the woman who only had a towel wrapped around her.
Seeing the lust in his eyes, she slowly undid her towel, letting it fall to the floor as she purred, “As long as you will have me, My Lord. What is your wish?”
By the time she finished her question, Harry was already licking his way from her ear to her collarbone, and huskily said, “I wish to practice some more…” and with that, another intense round began. This time when he entered her, she was standing, facing the wall, his hands firmly holding her hips, pulling her further onto him with each thrust. As they both climaxed, they screamed out each other’s name, then made their way in for a mutual bath, in which Tári once again reverently washed the man that was her lord and now her lover.
Over the next several months, along side his regular training, Tári exclusively taught Harry everything she knew about making love, including oral, vaginal, and anal sex. Nothing was left untried, and by the time Harry’s first year was over, he was well versed in giving and receiving pleasure from a woman.

A week after the disastrous Order meeting, Dumbledore flooed into Grimmauld Place with intentions set on talking to Sirius and Harry. When Remus saw him, he greeted coolly, “Good afternoon, Albus. What can I do for you?”
“I wish to speak to Sirius and Harry. I do remember asking you to have Sirius contact me at his earliest convenience, but as of yet, I have not heard from him.” replied Dumbledore, looking over his half moon spectacles, down his long nose at his former student.
Glaring at the old man, Remus said, “Well, you’ve wasted a trip. Harry is out with Molly and Hermione doing some shopping, and Sirius left a little while ago.”
Shocked at first, Dumbledore quickly composed himself, then shook his head condescendingly and said, “Remus, what were you, Sirius, and Molly thinking? I never approved Harry’s leaving here, or for that matter, Sirius’s leaving. He is a wanted criminal, and Harry is in far too much danger to be off gallivanting. I suggest you go after them and immediately return them to this house. I am very displeased with all of you.”
“If you’re so interested in getting them back, maybe you should go after them. I have no idea where they all went, and even if I did, I wouldn’t go. Who do you think you are, ordering me around like I’m some arrant school boy? I am neither your student or under your guardianship. It would seem the meeting the other night hasn’t done your arrogance any good. We all hoped you’d see the errors that you’ve committed, but I guess that was just wishful thinking. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some important things to do.” said a furious Remus, wanting to quickly floo Molly and tell her what had transpired with the Headmaster before Dumbledore could beat him to the punch.
Dumbledore was fuming by this point and angrily retorted, “Remus, you will stop right there. I’ve had enough of you and all the other Order members questioning my every move. I gave you all a week to cool down, and that is all the time I will allot. I suggest you people figure out what you want to do, or else I will throw you out of this house as well as the Order.”
With the wolf very close to the surface, Remus growled out, “You can try if you like, but you don’t own this house, Sirius does. As for throwing us out of the Order, who will you be left with then? From what I’ve been witness to, you’ll be the only member if you proceed on in this manner. It’s time you figured out that we are not your personal pawns, Albus; we are adults who are more than capable of thinking for ourselves, and last I checked, we don’t call you My Lord.”
“I quite agree, Remus.” said Moody from the doorway. “What has gotten into you this year, Albus, and when did you decide to elevate yourself to Lord and Master of the Order?”
“I have always presided over the Order, Moody, as you very well know. What I’d like to know is when all of you decided to start questioning my direct orders?” asked Dumbledore.
Glaring at his once friend, Moody ground out through clenched teeth, “We started questioning you when your orders seemed unjustified and unreasonable. Like Remus said, we CAN think for ourselves…we don’t need or want you doing that for us. So what will it be, Albus…going to kick us all out of YOUR Order?”
Reeling back from the sheer animosity pouring off the two men, Dumbledore said, “I wasn’t aware that this is how you two felt. If you are that unhappy being in the group, you will not be looked down upon for quitting it. You have both served many years…maybe it is time for a change.”
“See, that’s the problem…we never served…we volunteered to help. When did you lose sight of that? As for leaving the Order, that’s fine by me…how about you, Remus?” stated Moody.
Remus gave a lopsided grin to Moody and said, “I’m fine with it. It’s not like we do anything productive anyway. You’ll have to find a new place for your meetings, Dumbledore as this house will no longer be available to you. I know you’re going to go off about it being Sirius’s decision, but trust me when I say that Moody and I won’t be the only ones quitting the Order. Now, I believe it is time for you to leave…and don’t come back.”
“I am not leaving without Harry. He is under my direct care, therefore, I will wait for him to return, and then we will both leave.” said Dumbledore firmly.
“Do as you will, Dumbledore. Moody, would you like to accompany on my little trip?” asked Remus, Moody instantly knowing that he and Remus would be heading out back to the Warding Stone, to reset it to no longer accept Dumbledore. When Sirius agreed to let the Order use his house, along with himself, he asked Remus, Moody, Arthur, and Bill to be in charge of the stone, dictating who could enter and who could not. It took two people to alter the wards, and once Remus and Moody had done so, Dumbledore was transported out of headquarters faster than he could say Lemon Drop.
Within a few weeks, most of the Order had resigned, leaving only Dumbledore, Snape, and Mundungus Fletcher as members. As the end of August approached, in the confines of Grimmauld Place, Remus, Arthur, and Molly gathered the 25 or so ex-Order members, asked them all to take an oath of secrecy, and explained what little they knew of the new Light and Dark Lords. This included how Harry and Bill were directly involved, as well as Sirius and Charlie.
Before the four left at the beginning of August, Harry released Remus from his oath, along with Bill releasing Arthur and Molly, with the understanding that they would only speak about what was going on if they had secrecy oaths from any new people AND if they felt that Harry and Bill would be helped drastically by their revealing any information.
To say the people crowded around the kitchen table were shocked would be an understatement, but with Minerva and Moody both giving detailed descriptions, having lived long enough to remember the old ways, most were instantly ready to help in anyway they could. Some, however, wanted to wait and see how Harry and Bill came back from their training and judge the situation then, but of those holding out, all of them promised to keep an open mind and continue to fight against Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
After the meeting was over, Arthur and Remus asked Moody, Kingsley, and Tonks to stay behind. When everyone else was gone, Remus said, “We wanted to tell you one other piece of information that we omitted from our explanation. Magic’s Governor is Lucius Malfoy and he’s been assisting Harry and Bill since Halloween. He is the reason Harry was able to successfully complete his OWL’s and NEWT’s early, receiving all O’s. He’s also continuing to spy on Riddle, and will be forwarding any information to either Arthur or me. I wanted you to know this so you could possibly assist him should he run into any legal trouble, or at the very least, not actively seek him out as a current Death Eater.”
“Lucius Malfoy, as in THE Lucius Malfoy…my estranged Uncle…Death Eater extraordinaire…is actually aiding Bill and Harry?” asked Tonks.
“Yes, Tonks. He’s actually been very helpful…but just to make you feel better, Sirius still doesn’t like him much, but does tolerate him for Harry’s sake. So, can we count on you three to help Lucius if the need should arise? He really has changed, according to Harry, Bill, and Sirius.” said Remus, and after a little more discussion, the three Aurors left with an agreement to assist Lucius and by this, also Harry and Bill.
The evening of September 1st saw Remus sitting in the library of Grimmauld Place, with Arthur and Molly, enjoying the first quiet evening since the start of summer, when an expected owl arrived bearing a letter from one Albus Dumbledore. It read:
Mr. Lupin,
As guardian to Harry Potter, I am demanding that you and Mr. Black release him to my care and allow him to attend Hogwarts. If you do not have Mr. Potter at the school by tomorrow morning, I will be forced to bring in the authorities. This is unacceptable, and will be dealt with.
Albus P.W.B. Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts
Supreme Mugwump
Order of Merlin, First Class
“Well, it’s as we thought…he’s threatening to bring in the authorities. I say, let them come. Sirius left everything so that if anyone questioned my living here, I’d be able to prove partial ownership of this place, and when they search it and find nothing, Albus won’t have a leg to stand on.” stated Remus.
“Just remember to put your memories into a pensieve, before they come tomorrow. Where did you decide to hide it, so that I can retrieve the pensieve when the commotion is over with?” asked Arthur.
Smirking, Remus said, “That’s a very good question, Arthur. I thought it would be quite worthy of the Marauders if I were to actually hide the pensieve within the Ministry…feel up to a little extra baggage tomorrow?”
Giving a smirk of his own, Arthur said, “Why Remus, old chap…I believe I do.”
“I swear…you’re a bad influence on my husband, Remus.” said Molly, chuckling at the two men in the room.
“Not at all, my dear…where do you think the twins get it from?” asked Arthur teasingly.
“Arthur! What am I going to do with you?” Molly said, throwing her hands up in exaggeration.
“Oh, I don’t know, but I could think of a few things.” said Arthur, waggling his eyebrows at the love of his life.
“Men! It’s all you think about!” yelled Molly playfully, and with that the three laughed for quite awhile, both Arthur and Remus sharing many stories of their prankster days.
Sure enough, the next day the house was raided and Remus was questioned under Veritaserum. As planned, no evidence was found that Harry was or had ever been to Grimmauld Place, or that Remus knew of his whereabouts. After an apology from Amelia Bones, Head of the DMLE, the Auror’s left, and shortly after, Arthur showed up with the pensieve and Remus retrieved his memories. Albus Dumbledore was furious and stormed the Ministry demanding that they search again, but Amelia squashed that as soon as he arrived saying they had found absolutely nothing, and searching again would not do them any good, only leave the Ministry open to a law suit.
So as September rolled into October, Dumbledore was still fuming over losing Harry, and the fact that he no longer had his Order to help him out. Lucius was very busy reintroducing the public and the Ministry to the old ways, with several articles being published in every newspaper he could think of. Also, with his spying, he was able to forewarn the new Order of Magic, who was then able to stop several raids that Voldemort had launched against Muggles or Muggle sympathizers. Lucius was also successful in clearing Sirius’s name, finally bringing Peter Pettigrew into custody forcing the Ministry to see the error they had made and once that was done, the Ministry made an official apology and granted 5 million galleons as compensation for the wrongful imprisonment.
The night of the Halloween crept up faster than anyone could have expected and with the exception of Dumbledore, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves at the feast. Suddenly, the Headmaster sat up straighter when he felt the wards inform him of eleven new people entering the grounds. A few minutes later, the Great Hall doors banged open, causing many of the students to either pull their wands, or scream out in surprise.
The quiet that descended was almost instantaneous when the eleven robed figures walked in, faces shrouded by deep hoods on their long flowing robes. “Who are you, and what do you want?” yelled Dumbledore, who was standing, wand raised along with all of the teaching staff.
“It is good to see you again, Albus, although I have to say that I am greatly displeased with the way you have handled things these last 54 years.” said the shortest of the group, in a melodic woman’s tone.
Recognizing the voice instantly, Dumbledore paled, but said, “Hecate, I was not expecting you this evening. What may I do for you?”
“You may do nothing for me, Albus. I have come to bestow upon your world my Chosen.” she said, dropping her hood so everyone could see the absolute beauty that was Hecate.
“I was under the assumption you had already chosen your Lords.” said Dumbledore, feeling nervous and irritated all at the same time.
Walking further up the aisle between the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables, she said, “I can feel that you are irritated as well as nervous by the possibility that I will out your assumed position, and I have to say, you are correct. You may have been my Chosen years ago, but when you renounced the sacrifices that I required, you were no longer considered. Also, if you have been under the impression that this Voldemort character is the other Lord, you have been sadly mistaken. You, Albus killed off my other Chosen in an attempt to out maneuver me, but you have failed.”
As her speech progressed, the air in the room cooled along with her voice. It was very apparent to all those present that she was not at all happy with the Headmaster. Not wanting to give up, Dumbledore said, “I am truly sorry if I have done something to displease you, Hecate, as that was never my intention. I have always tried to do what I felt was best for the wizarding world.”
Eyes blazing with an inner fire, Hecate sternly replied, “Therein lies the problem. Who are you to decide what is best for this world, a world that only has magic because I allow it? You have done nothing but upset the balance, and if it weren’t for the new Lords, I would have stripped you all of my gift.”
Gasps could be heard by many, and then whispers began to break out. After a few moments, Hecate spoke again, “All of you listen well. I am Hecate, Goddess of Magic, and I am here to bestow upon you the true Lords of Magic and bring back the balance that is required for my gift to continue on. It is because of Albus Dumbledore that none of you know of the old ways, with the exception of a few of you. Do not question my Chosen, and live by the laws in which they have been well versed. From this day forward, you will abide by your Lords, or I will forever remove magic from this plane of existence.”
“Hecate, maybe we should retire to my office and discuss this further?” asked Dumbledore, desperate to salvage what little he had left.
“You will be silent, Albus, or I will make sure of it. You have no control over me or my Chosen. Your time is through, make no mistake about that.” Hecate stated.
Turning back to the assembly she continued, “Let me introduce you to my companions. First, representing the Daily Prophet, Ms. Rita Skeeter; and next to her, representing the Quibbler, and on direct request of one of your Lords, Mr. Oren Lovegood. They are here to ensure that the truth is printed without interference. Now, I would like to introduce the sponsors of your Lords, Mr. Charles Weasley and Mr. Sirius Black.” at the gasps these names produced as their hoods lowered, Hecate paused for a few moments.
Once the hall was quiet once again, she went on, “The next three people I would like to introduce you to are all members of The Order of Magic, a group of people determined to see their Lords successful in their endeavors; Mr. Arthur Weasley, Mrs. Molly Weasley, and Mr. Remus Lupin. With their help, and the help of several others, I am quite sure this world will flourish in the future.”
“Now, it is my pleasure to introduce to you, the three most important men in all of this. The first was chosen for his wisdom and influence within this world and will be the advisor to your Lords, ensuring all matters pertaining to my laws and beliefs are taken care of. I introduce to you, Magic’s Governor, Mr. Lucius Malfoy.” she paused once again when he removed his hood, bringing about even more gasps and whispers as it was revealed to all that it was indeed who she said it was.
“Lastly, I come to my Chosen. Over the countless years that I have lived, never have I picked two more worthy people to guide and rule over magic. The Lord of the Light and the Lord of the Dark will oversee their domains to ensure no one side dominates the other and by doing so, will need to be harsh but fair in their judgments and punishments for any of you who dare try to go against them. They have trained for years to take their place among you and I am sure they will bring about the balance required to ensure magic is gifted to you all for many years to come. I give to you, Galdor Anwarünya, formally known as William Arthur Weasley, your Lord of the Light; and Camthalion Tinehtelë, formally known as Harry James Potter, your Lord of the Dark.”
As Bill and Harry removed their hoods, the hall went deathly quiet and the two Lords exchanged knowing smiles. When, after a few minutes, no one spoke, Harry decided to end the silence and as he bowed his head ever so slightly, he said, “Greetings to you all.”

Well, there you go. It is a very long chapter, but I wanted to get Harry back to real time as quickly as possible. You will learn more about his training later, in bits and pieces. In the next chapter, Harry and Bill receive their gifts, so it will be emotional. Hopefully, I will be posting the new chapter later today or this evening. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, and I hope you continue to read this story. Haymak/Volleygirl
To all my readers on Adultffnet, there will by male/male pairings in this story, but considering Harry is Bisexual, I decided to start him off with a female. Question? What male do you want to see Harry with first, and should he be bottom or top?
