A New Era Begins

Harry asked Blaise to introduce his family and his three sisters immediately confirmed they would like to attend Hogwarts though only Claire was of age to attend the ball. Being quickly invited by Theodore Nott.

Harry felt as if he'd made real progress with the younger crowd, which was his main aim, but he now turned his sights onto the older witches and wizards, this was always going to be harder.

"I am aware that there are some very talented witches and wizards here, you're opportunities as a member of the Potter house will be greater than you've ever known. Be aware I value honesty and loyalty but I'm not Voldemort, you can disagree with me and not need St Mungo's. If you work against my family St Mungo's won't be able to help!"

Harry softened his approach "I will help anyone requiring education, equipment or premises. Together we can change the world for the better but there's no reason you can't get rich doing it. All the costs of the children's education, including ball gowns will be met and assistance offered when they leave Hogwarts. Family is everything to me and you will be protected, encouraged and rewarded with a healthy percentage of profits generated."

Harry felt Hermione enter the room and his spirits lifted. She was wearing a shortish skirt and a clinging knit jumper with her goblin cloak over them and looked stunning! She walked right up to Harry and started a kiss that seemed to last forever

Theodore Nott was thoroughly confused; Potter had laid it out for them. There were definite benefits for working with a large, well organized company, which was what Potter seemed to be building.

Theo had been impressed with his organizing of this whole thing and had no doubts that Harry would have killed that idiot Flint, he didn't want to but Theo knew he would have carried it out.

Blaise had obviously come to the same conclusion and Theo was kicking himself for not getting in first with Angela Flint to get noticed by Potter.

When Granger walked in, looking fantastic and wearing the same cloak with his coat of arms on it, he was puzzled.

The kiss answered all his questions as a golden glow surrounded the couple, Theo mind was made up. You crossed these two at your peril, he would work with them, for now!

'What are you doing here love?' Harry asked over their bond

'I just thought you could do with a kiss sweetheart and I was right' replied Hermione

'Oh were you ever right! How's you're day been?'

'Ginny had trouble accepting me buying her stuff but promised to repay by modeling her new clothes and underwear for you later!'

'Not something I wanted to think about love!' Harry was laughing through the bond when Hermione came back at him

'You should see what we got Winky! Dobby won't know what hit him' both of them were now laughing in their bond when they remembered the room full of people.

"This is my wife Lady Hermione Jane Potter Gryffindor, she was by my side when Voldemort was destroyed and again when Dumbledore went to prison. As you can see we are equals in everything and my wife wouldn't have it any other way, even the goblins have learned not to get Hermione angry!"

Every goblin in the room burst into riotous laughter as Hermione nearly bringing down Gringotts was fast becoming legend, the room would need to have been enormous to hold all the guards who claimed to have been there!

This had the desired effect of lightening the mood in the room and allowing the magical people to see a laughing goblin, a sight seen by very few in the wizarding world!

Harry didn't think it could have went much better though neither he or Hermione were naive enough to believe the whole room had been converted but some had and that was a start.

Harry decided to quite while he was ahead "We shall be meeting with you all over the next few days to discuss where we go from here. Accommodations have been arranged at a Potter property, which goblins will escort you to and elves will look after your needs. Be aware, the goblins are my friends and the elves are family, insulting behavior will not be tolerated."

Greg and Vince had listened to Harry with great interest; both knew they would never be the smartest in class. They had their faults but also strengths, they had kept the pompous arsehole alive when he insisted on stirring up trouble in the house and with Potter.

Harry had got the best of him on every single occasion yet his arrogance kept him going back for more and people thought they were stupid!

Their ambitions reflected their ability and were fairly modest; a job, a house, a wife and a few children. They couldn't give a shit who ruled the world but had followed Malfoy because their fathers had told them that's where the power and money was!

Times changed and Harry had just offered them everything they ever wanted and the cost? No painful mark binding your soul and no silly mask just work hard be loyal and honest! This they could do so their decision was a relatively easy one – they would be Potter men!

Millicent Bulstrode watched the couple kiss and felt the green-eyed monster called jealousy surge through every cell of her body.
