Not Surprising

After Voldemort's untimely defeat in the First War, the Death Eaters were quickly subdued. The more notorious members like Regulus fled and went into hiding, while the cowardly ones surrendered. Among them were Severus Snape and Igor Karkaroff. Not so different from the other Harry Potter universe, they were pardoned.

Dumbledore vouched for Snape's role as a spy. Igor was threatened to join Voldemort. Their confession led people to believe they were forced by the situation to become Death Eaters. After some persuasion from Dumbledore, the ICW court decided to give them one more chance.

With Crouch Jr's revelation of the Dark Lord's return, the scrutiny put upon them was heavy. However, they had been civil for the last decade, so no one could accuse them of anything, even though they strongly suspected their involvement in some of the recent terrors the Death Eaters had caused.

James knew that Lucius and other pardoned Death Eaters were involved but couldn't do anything. Unlike what they had done in the First War, they were being careful. The Death Eaters did their deed so cleanly that the Ministry had a hard time tracking their links. Naturally, James couldn't just point his finger at them and send them to Azkaban.

Wouldn't it have been easier to douse them with Veritaserum and make them confess? It was not that easy. Given how secretive the Magical society was, if the Ministry had the power to put someone under Veritaserum for no reason, it would immediately get dismantled. Besides, Veritaserum wouldn't reveal anything if the person under it had gone through a memory fabrication.

The Ministry was better in this universe; however, it still wasn't rid of corruption. James was a very good Minister, but he had to turn the whole of Magical Britain to his enemy to change the way it operated. He was not ready for that. Dumbledore also didn't want that since he knew he would be deemed a Dark Lord if he helped James in that endeavour.

"Since we can't do much regarding Voldemort's source of funds, the best course of action is to gather all of the Horcruxes and destroy them. We have destroyed three—four, counting the one on me—so we will need to locate the other two. What are they? The locket of Slytherin, the Hufflepuff's Cup, and Nagini. Is the latter already turned into a Horcrux yet?"

Harry was thinking about his course of action in the Prefects' bathroom. Lily had a job to finish at the Department of Mystery, so he couldn't use her bathroom. Bella also had a matter to attend, so he couldn't visit her quarter. Hence, he found himself in the Prefects' bathroom.

"With how different things are in this world, I am not surprised if my knowledge is useless. I will let Dumbledore locate them and have fun until then."

Deciding not to stress over the Horcruxes, Harry submerged deeper into the water. He was about to dip his head into the water when he sensed a presence entering the bathroom. Standing up in the tub, he turned to find Fleur walking towards him. The Veela shamelessly looked at his crotch with eyes clouded with lust.

"I heard your Mama is not in Hogwarts and neither is your Bella. I figured you would be here."

"How did you know the password?"

"Cedric kindly told me."

Harry didn't bother asking how Fleur knew Cedric. The Hufflepuff was a well-known boy. He liked to socialize too, so he must have talked with Fleur. What made Harry wonder was how Fleur knew where he was.

"My Magic resonates with yours. It leads me to you."

That explained it. Harry shrugged and watched Fleur take off her clothes. He shamelessly ravaged her like she did him. He had touched every part of her body, but it was his first time seeing her naked. She was nothing like Lily and Bella but equally stunning. Once Fleur got a little bit older, Harry knew she would match Lily and Bella.

Fleur got into the tub and pressed her body against Harry. They snogged for a couple of minutes before she pushed him to sit on the edge of the tub. Taking Harry's member into her hands, Fleur stroked it up and down while looking up at Harry lustfully. After some time, she swallowed it while massaging it with her hands.

"Good girl," Harry rasped, sending Fleur to cloud nine.

Not long after, Fleur took Harry's member out and gasped for air. His member parked beside her cheek, covered in her saliva. Harry slapped Fleur with his meat and then pushed her against the edge. He positioned his member before her mouth and then thrust it into her throat. Fleur gagged as her throat bulged. Her hands were on Harry's hip but not pushing him.

Harry pulled out and busted his seed all over Fleur's face. The Veela gladly took the seed. She looked at Harry with eager eyes, intoxicated by his liquid's smell. Harry washed his seed off Fleur's face when she was done playing with it. Lifting her from the tub, he put her on the edge. As she giggled, he spread her legs and dove face-first.

"Oh, sweet heaven!"

Fleur quickly wrapped her legs around Harry's head, pushing his face closer to her slit. She could barely think and her consciousness went in and out. By the time she knew it, she had climaxed three times. Harry was ready to move to the next step, but Fleur's clarity quickly returned and she immediately stopped him.

"Harry, wait! You are not ready."

"Huh?"

Harry was naturally confused. He pulled away his member from Fleur's entrance and looked at her inquiringly. His Occlumency was back in effect, causing his member to go flaccid. Fleur was amazed by his level of self-control.

"Once you have sex with a Veela, you will be forever bound with her. The Veela's Magic will bind her to you, making her your mate. She has to constantly get your love, lest she would be depressed and die," Fleur explained. "You are an outstanding young man, Harry. I am afraid your future spouse won't be able to stand my presence."

Harry quirked an eyebrow. "Don't you want to be my spouse?"

"Oh, yes! I have been waiting for the proposal. But let's get married after your graduation," Fleur exclaimed rapidly with an excited smile. Realizing what she had done, she looked at Harry nervously. "Do you love me, Harry?"

"Love, I can't tell. But I am sure I don't want to see you with another person," Harry confessed. "You will be a great girl to marry, Fleur, and I am sure we can cultivate pure love over time. However, you have to know something. I am sleeping with Lily and Bella."

"Oh, I know that," Fleur said nonchalantly. "It is not surprising. I notice how Lily looks at you. That love transcends a mother's love."

"Are you okay with that?" Harry asked curiously.

"Is your Mama okay with me?" Fleur shot back.

"She likes you. You are a good girl even though a bit self-centred," Harry said with a smile.

"I am self-aware," Fleur tossed her hair with a playful snort, causing Harry to chuckle.

Even though the two had accepted their peculiar situation, they decided not to engage in coitus in the bathroom. Harry might not care but still wanted Fleur's first to be special. They returned to their respective room after some minutes of fooling around.

A few days later, the selection of the group duelling tournament began. Lily also returned from the Ministry around this time. She came with Harry, Fleur, and Bella to watch Charlus' watch. James was also present but kept a distance from them. They acted normal whenever Charlus was nearby, though. They still didn't have the heart to Charlus the truth.

The matches finished in two days. Charlus' team managed to get into the finals. James decided to throw a party in the evening. He used his authority as the Minister to 'rent' one of Hogwarts's classrooms. This was the night Harry properly introduced Fleur to Lily. He explained the situation to Lily and the two immediately got along.

Bella was still kept out of it since she didn't know about Harry's relationship with Lily yet. Harry was still looking for the right time to tell her. A part of him worried that Bella would be disgusted by him. That was why he always put it off.

A few weeks later, the individual duelling tournament finals were held. The U-16 category went first. After a day of matches, the grand final was a match between Daphne Greengrass and Charlus. The latter was expected, but the former was not. An intense duel occurred. People held their breaths in anticipation.

"I forfeit!"

When Charlus was about to launch another attack, Daphne forfeited. She was out of Magic. Harry smiled at her wisdom and came to her side in a flash. He gave her a few bottles of Pepper-up potion and cast the Stamina Charm on her. Charlus could only see the scene bitterly. Regardless, he didn't hate his brother. If he were Harry, he would choose a blushing girl over his brother too.

"Good job, kid. I expected you to slip up, but you didn't."

Therefore, when Harry ruffled his hair with a small grin, Charlus couldn't help but smile toothily. Somehow, Harry's praise was more rewarding than his father's. The next day was the match for the Open category. The arena was filled to the brim as everyone wanted to watch Harry's match.

While other participants were nervous, the star in question was thinking about his mature lover's thighs who unfortunately couldn't come. Lily was called by the Ministry of Mysteries again. Bella was freed from her job, though, so she could watch Harry's match with Fleur.

The match began and Harry dominated the field. Few contestants could force him to use two Spells. Before long, the tournament reached the grand final. The match was between Harry and a seventh-year Durmstrang student. The student was a competent one as it took Harry four Spells to take him down.

Although it was not surprising, everyone cheered for Harry when he won.
