117. True Love that is blind
Releasing Jessica from the hug, Harry made her sit beside him, holding her hand affectionately while looking at others for their answers only to find Hermione sitting on his other side as she took his other hand letting him know that she held same opinion as Jessica.
Harry had never really doubted Hermione. He knew for sure that no matter what happened, she and Lily would always be on his side.
He looked towards Penelope, " Don't look at me. You are already my sugar Daddy and you can't get rid of me no matter what. As I have already told you, I just want to be your little concubine.." She said as she winked seductively making him smile.
He then looked towards Nymphadora who stood up from her chair and started walking towards him with a serious expression on her face making Harry extremely nervous. Just as she was five steps away from his, she suddenly tumbled and tripped.
" Careful Dora!!" Harry hurriedly move to catch her midfall.
" Are you alright?" He asked concerned while thinking about doing something to help her with her balance.
Nymphadora didn't leave his arms and stayed in that midfall position as she looked into his caring eyes seriously. " See.. I stumble a lot and would surely fall and hurt myself a lot of times if not for you. I can't even walk straight on a plain surface without your help Harry, how am I gonna walk this long road of life. How many times I would fall and hurt myself without your support."
Harry's eyes widened at the deeper meanings behind her words. He knew she was talking about the future he had initially shown her, becoming Dumbledore's puppet, losing her parents, marrying a werewolf uncle and dying leaving her son behind.
Harry hugged her protectively, " No matter if you be my lover or not, I'll protect you and your family.." Harry said not only for her, but to all the girls.
" Just like you promised to protect us no matter what, I will be with you no matter what.." Nymphadora said as she kissed him showing her determination and love.
At last Harry looked towards Daphne, " What about you Daph?" He asked softly.
" Truth be told, I had always known that I'll have to share you with atleast Hermione. You have told me about your aspirations about gaining near immortality and visiting many different worlds with all your family. Polygamy is not a new concept for wizarding world and I have no problem with it.
After living together for one year, fighting life and death simulations daily, the five of us here are like sisters and I really don't mind sharing you with any of them. I'm also ready to accept Amelia as I know both of you are developing a very complex relationship which can actually make her one of us someday.
But I want you to consult all of us before accepting another woman's love." Daphne said clearly.
" As for other bitches you may need to bang, I'll allow it if you can keep it secret without developing any feelings for them. I also don't want you to neglect any of us for any of them and only do it away from our eyes and ears." This time Hermione spoke looking at Harry with firm eyes, wanting clear promises.
" I promise that no one would be more important for me than my family. I'll never let you regret your decision nor will I let you feel disrespected or unloved. Thank you love for accepting me as I am, with all my flaws... " Harry promised as they all joined each other in a group hug.
" So what's the deal with Bonesy? How much have you both progressed?" Dora asked curiously.
" Full massage daily.. I can tell that she is feeling guilty about it but I'm not letting her go. The main problem for her is our age difference as she sees any possible romantic relationship with me a Taboo even though she really wants to commit herself. I too can't make any love confessions to her right now because I as I said I don't know for sure and it is even more so when it comes to Amelia." Harry explained honestly.
" I can understand her hesitation about the age difference. As for your feelings about her, I know you are lusting after her beautiful milf figure but I also think that you like her." Dora said frankly making Hermione and Daphne blush, Jessica smile and Penelope laugh out loud.
" I'm going to let our relationship evolve with time and let things take its course. I'm already thinking about methods of extending our lifespans and already have Flamels' as a reference. I'm sure that when she realises that her current age is actually not even a fraction of her lifespan, she would stop thinking about the age problem." Harry shared his visions with the girls as they spent the night getting massages from him.
After those confessions, they became even closer and Harry started cherishing them even more. Just like Jessica had predicted, Harry started training them even more extensively after the attack.
Now their dream training includes facing numerous dark wizards and witches together, fighting bare-handed with armed opponents, facing dangerous creatures, facing cunning enemies, being kidnapped and much more brutality. The training only stopped after they died fighting in their dreams, making them witness their loved ones die.
Harry knew this kind of training would have deep psychological effects on them so he made sure to do things in moderation while giving the girls all the love, care and psychological consultations during their massage sessions. For that he read a lot of mind healing and psychology books which ended up giving him much more benefits.
He also started researching on how to mask their magical signatures while doing magic while developing a better a weapon that would function as a lightsaber as well as a magical focus.
Draco and Theodore had been shocked and dumbfounded when they saw Harry and his friends talking and laughing casually. Harry had denied their parents from telling them anything because he knew that Snape or Dumbledore might catch them. Even so, both boys made sure to remain cautious of their group and didn't make any trouble.
