I groaned, again? I hope I didn't fuck that werecat or those elves. I looked into Dinner's eyes and tried to read her memories. Crap! That bitch doesn't think about anything other than her stallion, even fantasizing about different locations… Inside the house? I'll eat her if I catch her in the act!
Slowly I got up and made my way deeper into the woods, I went behind a tree and released the pressure of my bladder. A fun fact: there is a front and a backside on every tree. The backside is where men do their business. Blasted bowtuckles took offense that I pissed on their tree and attacked me, those bloody sticks should be grateful I fertilized their tree.
Everyone was waking up, Dobby and Winky provided our clothes and a picnic on small tables, all veggie with tea and juice. The girls erected some tents so they could do a sanitary break for themselves and the visiting elves. the tents were a big hit by the elves, with the expansion charms and the luxury inside, already they were imagining their tree houses with those charms, they can blend even more into the forest with it.
While we were eating I asked: "Tell me, why didn't you stop me before I got too drunk? I can't remember a thing from last night. Did I embarrass myself again?"
Milly laughed: "It was not so bad Harry, you just demonstrated how you can keep us all happy with everyone here present."
Pansy added: "That demonstration took hours You made even four elves pregnant." She timed it! I choked in my juice, and sprayed the table, it came even out of my nostrils.
I asked: "I did WHAT? How come didn't you stop me?"
Daphne laughed: "Relax husband, You just aided four couples in getting pregnant, stimulating an egg to mature and guiding the male's sperm to the egg. You even got their wishes of the genders of the babies right." I mouthed 'punishment tonight' to Pansy. Although I doubt she will think of it as a punishment.
I continued: "So nothing more than my magic spreading out?"
Ginny: "A bit more Harry, you demonstrated also how you recuperate after each orgasm, and the spells to make it more fun."
I swallowed: "After each orgasm? How many were there?"
Tracey said: "Just us honey… two times. The visiting elves got the magic ones, several times."
Maud added: "It is hard to impress a werecat, Lord Potter, consider yourself as one of the few that succeeded at that."
Every elf present was nodding their head. Fiona said: "I told you all he could do it, Harry is the best!"
Luna smiled: Did you see that stallion and Harry's horse stand too close to Harry when he spread his magic? Dinah got some good shags out of it."
I Shrugged: "Tonight I am going to see that memory, one way or another. We need to plan today, we leave tomorrow, how do we split up? Who wants to go where?"
Fleur: "Padma, Parvati, our elves, and I go to the dwarves, we are looking to exotic to the local people, who else wants to go to the dwarves?" Belladonna, Flora, Fauna, and Katie raised their hands.
I said: "Alright, we have our teams. Let us find Eragon and install him close to Oromis."
Parvati grinned: "He is in the mansion, he did have a crash course on how to please a woman. With a good view from his balcony, I think there is a telescope on it to spot the wildlife. Anyway, Brom moved to the guest house of the elves, he could not stand the noise." Must. Not. kill. Myself.

Eragon was up, when we walked into the mansion, he blushed crimson.
"Eragon, take her outside and try to picture her hunting in the woods. Some of the girls will watch out for her closely. We will get you in an hour, I suggest packing your stuff."
I went outside with our elves and entered the guest house to collect Brom. He sat at a table, reading some scrolls, we sat next to him.
I started: "We leave tomorrow Brom, twelve girls will go to Farthen Dur with you. I am heading to Theirm with six. I want you to write a letter of introduction for Jeod. He has to hire us as guards on his ships. That way we can eliminate some magicians. There is a dwarven city that has a caved-in ceiling, Urgals will use that city to enter the tunnels. The twins are the traitors, there may be some more, but my girls have ways to pull the truth out. Anyway, we go to install Eragon next to Oromis care to come along? We will fetch you later." We went outside, Fiona, Lineria, and I changed into dragons, Winky put saddles on us, Miramar, Lenora, and Ophelia mounted us.
Ophelia remarked: "This is so strange, we used to be the dragons, now we are riding them." With a happy roar we took off, Fiona and Lineria showed the way, when we arrived at Oromis cabin, they were watching us land.
Miramar: "Yes, very strange Ophelia, but it is worth it." We transformed back, I said goodbye to the girls and apparated back. I noticed everyone was still in the trunk, so I shrunk it and hung it on my necklace. I grinned at Brom, took his arm, and apparated to Oromis. Brom was cursing me and the feeling of being pulled through a tube. The trunk enlarged and I let the girls out with Eragon, he had the little one on his shoulders, both looking curious around them. The girls all changed, Winky put the saddles on Luna, Daphne, and Tracey, so our dragon elves could fly along. They took off, closely watched by the little one and Eragon.
I commented: "Soon Eragon, in a few months she will be big enough to carry you. Now, Wise one, do you have a preference for where Eragon set his camp? The little one needs to have space to hunt, but close enough for the Old one to keep an eye on her."
Oromis motioned us to follow, I shrunk the trunk and went into the forest behind the cabin. After fifteen minutes we came to an open spot.
Oromis said: "There is almost no big game or predators here, the presence of Glaedr scares them off. The little one can safely hunt here." Dobby erected the tent after he raised the floor a little, and stocked the kitchen with provisions. Oromis entered the tent, amazed by the extended space he looked at every room. Brom said: "I am still amazed when I enter one of these."
Oromis said: "This is strange magic, our people will be interested to learn it, it reduced the impact we have on the mother tree. Do you think we will be able to learn your kind of magic?"
I thought for a moment: "We will teach Fiona and Lineria our kind of magic. If they can, it will probably be possible for your people. It is not going to be our priority though, we have to deal with the shade, Urgals, and the crazy king first. Finding the portal to get home is important too, four of my wives are pregnant at home. I want to be there when my children are born."
Eragon asked: "How many wives do you have?"
"Twenty-eight now, Luna mentioned thirty was my maximum. Maybe next year I will explain to you how we make it work without jealousy. For now, concentrate on raising your partner, and your studies with the Wise One. You must know that you probably live for more than a thousand years, there is no rush." That will get his mind off my wives, he did get a show last night… I think. The girls could be messing with my mind and making things up.
"We leave tomorrow for the Beor mountains, Brom will fix the Varden, while I fly to Theirm. Train well Eragon. Brom, I pick you up this evening, Wise One, have a good day, I am joining my wives for a flight." Oromis smiled and said: "Have fun, Harry Potter, Eragon will be safe here." I changed into the green one and took off, gaining altitude, searching for the wives. We had fun in the air, I tested a spell to protect the rider from the elements, some kind of a windshield, streamlined to reduce the resistance of the wind. Ginny experimented with changing forms in mid-air and landing on my back, that was not a good idea, with all the spikes on my neck and back, she was almost impaled with the wrong kind of spike.

We had dinner in the guest quarters, Maud the werecat introduced us to Alanna and Dusan, the only children in Ellesmera.
"Well met, Alanna and Dusan, it must be a bit lonely to be the only children in the city, are there children in the other cities? Do you meet with them?"
Dusan responded: "There are a few, but the distance is too big to really connect with them. We do talk a lot with them in the magic mirrors."
I smiled: "At least you can talk to each other, do you play board games or something with them?"
Alanna: "We do play games, most are educational though."
Parvati: "Well, if you ask permission from your parents, we offer you a ride on our back for a flight around the city. You will be sheltered from the elements and completely safe."
Both children looked at me quizzically, I shrugged: "That is an offer they don't usually do, dragons are not horses. We don't like to be ridden, and only allow the wives and sister wives on our back. It is a unique opportunity they offer, I suggest asking your parent's permission." Both children ran out the door and returned fifteen minutes later with their parents.
After explaining the offer Parvati did to the kids, and how we are planning to keep them safe, they got permission for the ride.
We spend the next hour in the air, showing the kids around, Parvati was in a good mood, she even pulled Dusan in, so he could look through her eyes. Padma did the same with Alanna. We landed, the children dismounted, and thanked the twins for the experience.
Alanna said: "I hope that one day a dragon will hatch for me. You have my thanks, I will cherish this memory." Both children left, talking excitedly to their parents about their flight.
I gathered my thoughts: "How are we going to handle this? We can't split the manor in two, so one group has to travel on horseback or fly as dragons."
Fleur said: "Fly us to the Beor mountains to Tarnag, my love, take the mansion with you and portkey to Carvahall, from there you can fly to Theirm over the shield mountains. We will be in tunnels, so there is no need for horses or airplanes." That was a good idea, now I need to find a good guide… I spotted Imira and beckoned her to our table.
I asked: "Imira, do you know the way to Tarnag? If you do, can you guide us? When we are in Tarnag, I will take you back to your post close to Ceunon. We leave tomorrow morning."
Imira answered: "I will ask permission from our Queen." She returned a half-hour later with the blessing of the Queen: "Thank you for thinking of me, you can always ask me to fly with you."
Daphne said: "Spend the night in our mansion, are the four others also going back to their station? They can stay with us too."
Imira nodded: "Spending the night in your forest, close to your Unicorns, is a privilege. I must say that last night was a wonderful experience too. You are creating legends Lord Potter, your magic made me experience feelings long forgotten, it made me feel young again. Your wives are the lucky ones."
I grumbled: "It would be nice if I could remember those legends myself. But you are welcome, although I am the lucky one for having beautiful girls." That comment got me a hug pile from the wives.
Xxxxx
I fetched Brom when it got dark, we said our goodbyes to Eragon and the little one. My parting gift was a two-way permanent portkey to Ellesmera and back to the tent.
"It needs to recharge for a week at least for a round trip for you and the little one. When she gets too big, it needs to recharge for two weeks, the moment she can carry you, you can fly there yourself. Training is important, but mingling with people is important too." I grabbed Brom and apparated to Ellesmera. Cursing, he bends over, struggling to keep his dinner in: "Dammed does this feeling happen every time? Who invented this way of traveling? A sadist?"
I shrugged: "I suppose so, all the means of transport of our kind are kind of stupid, we fly on brooms or carpets, we can travel between houses through the fireplace, you just felt the single person way of traveling, and the multiform of traveling is as if you are pulled at your navel. We leave after breakfast."
Somehow we ended up in the woods with the Unicorns and did another shaggalong, Imira got herself in the rotation and experienced a good fucking, when I noticed it was her, with the approval of the wives, I doubled my magic and made it last for a few minutes. I looked beside me and that bloody stallion was shagging Dinner again.
Luna: "Focus on us, husband, get me one like you gave to Imira. That looked awesome."
It lasted well into the night.
Xxxxx
The next morning after breakfast, we said goodbye to the Queen, we gave some presents in the form of magical flowers seeds. The girls entered the mansion, while I apparated to the field we arrived on.
We took the Spitfire two-seater out and took off after a good inspection of the plane. Imira guided me in the right direction to Ceris, we started talking about the riders and their habits, laws, and customs. The wives were listening to our conversation with listening charms, and the communication mirror. the dwarves were discussed too, as the clans, king, and politics. Hours passed, we decided to camp at Silthrim on lake Ardwen. We landed close to the city at the lakeside, my first action was to run for a toilet to release some pressure, Imira did the same. When our business was finished, we went outside to greet the natives, the four elves that accompanied us already explained our situation. We parked the plane and visited the city.
The Council welcomed us: "Welcome Dragon Lord and Ladies. Word of your achievements reached us. We will aid you in every way we can, a feast is prepared as we speak, and will be ready in half an hour. Dusan and Alanna talked to our children Anorun, Freowin, and Ardwen, about their flight with the dragons, I am certain they want to meet you." The children they spoke of were thirty years old, a child in their eyes but there is no way in hell they are going to ride my wives.
We spend a quiet evening conversing with the locals, talking about the lands on the east, although there was not much information about it. That is kind of sad, they live for millennia and never leave the forest to explore. The night was spent pampering the girls that were heading to the dwarves.
We took off after breakfast, following the Gaena river, at the border of the forest we landed and rode our horses across the border.
After lunch, we took to the sky again, I decided to take a detour to the east to explore our target region to emigrate, I went up to thirty thousand feet and looked around. Why the locals never came here is incomprehensible, the land is fertile, there is plenty of game, some mountain ranges far to the east, forests, plains, hills, this place has it all.
I said: "Imira, is there a reason nobody moved to the east? It looks as prime land to live on."
She answered: "We prefer the woods of Du Weldenvarden, the trees are bigger, and of better quality than to the east, for the dwarves are the mountains to the east too far away, too small in comparison with the Beor mountains. The humans have to cross the Haradac desert to reach it. So trade caravans will never travel there, the distance is too far to make a profit from it."
I mentioned: "Then nobody will object if we claim it. We need a place of our own, where we can fly and hunt freely."
Imira shrugged: "The land is empty, so you are free to claim it."

We passed Ceris and followed the Edda river south when the town of Hedarth, a trading post between Dwarves and elves, came in sight. I landed well out of view and rode the last miles on horseback. Our arrival shook the town awake, twenty-one females and four males, were an unusual sight especially when the majority are humans.
The dwarf Elder approached us, he recognized Brom: "Welcome Brom, we thought you were spending time with the humans to the west. Is there a reason for your visit? We had dinner already, but can warm something up."
Brom: "Elder Thoron, we are on the way to Farthen Dur, we have word of traitors, and movements of Urgals. We have to warn King Hrothgar and prepare. We stay for the night and leave tomorrow for Tarnag. Can you hold on to the warning? We need to surprise the traitors, I will disguise myself and be a part of this trade caravan, with recruits for the Varden."
Elder Thoron nodded: "Few know your face here, or who you are. I will keep your presence a secret."
I said: "We already had dinner, and have tents to sleep in, but a few hours of drinks and tales are welcome. My name is Harry Potter, Elder Thoron, and lead this expedition until Tarnag. From there it will be led by the elves. Morb here will aid us in translating between the dwarves and us. At least that is our cover story." We decided to keep the mansion trunk a secret. We visited the inn and talked to the natives about the seasons, how cold the winters are or how hot the summers are, the needs of the Dwarves for trade, and so on. I spend some coins to treat the people to free drinks, to loosen up their tongues. Soon we were singing drinking songs, Imira was happy, a drunken Harry is a horny one, soon she will be back to her station, so she will take all she can.
Later that night, I created another legend, we forgot silencing charms, all eighteen wives and Imira were having a good time, my magic worked in overdrive, we knew it was our last night, so after a few hours I pulled everyone into my mindscape, Imira came along. Nineteen shadow clones appeared, and the wives got some quality time with their husband.
Imira was amazed: "This is your secret? I will keep it for as long as I live, I am honored you made me part of it." I smiled and said: "Hop on." And changed into a dragon, with a thought a saddle appeared on my back. Imira jumped on my back and strapped herself on the saddle. With a roar I took to the sky, we stayed in the air for an hour, I pulled her mind in, so she could look through my eyes, experiencing what flying like a dragon is. When we landed I changed back.
Imira jumped me: "Harry, this is the best gift you could give to me. I will keep this memory for the rest of my life. Now let me reward you." You can learn a thing or two from an elf of more than a thousand years old. I learned a lot that night, especially that I get sober when I transform into my dragon.
After eight hours, we relaxed, I asked: "Imira, now that you are here, can you share the Elf language with us? I will try to teach you our magic." We explained the procedures, I downloaded the elf language and gave Imira and my elf wives the magic from Earth. The rune course and enchanting took their interest, it was completely different from the elven magic. Soon they were discussing expansion charms and expansion runes among the wives. Before we left my mindscape we took a nap to catch up on our sleep.

In the morning Brom was grumbling about something like rabbits. Meh, I had my fun, at breakfast, we went over the plan again. In the end, I asked Brom for directions to Eragon's half-brother, I am planning to get him out of the king's reach.
I said: "Next is to make us impossible for someone to scrying for us. Tonksie and Hestia prepared amulets for us, we just have to ad our six new wives to them. Next are the journals, each has one keyed to herself, just write the name of the person you want to send the message to, and it will arrive."
Luna smiled: "Welcome Imira, we are happy to have you."
Imira was surprised: "You want me? I thought it was just for a few days, then I had to return back to my post."
Daphne: "You visit Harry's mindscape, in there we got to know you, you can't pretend in Harry's mindscape, our magic sung in harmony in there, your personality matches ours. Welcome to the family Imira."
Fleur added: "If you don't want to join our family, we will understand. But the offer stands, we all want you in our family. You did feel us in Harry's mindscape, trust your feelings."
Imira closed her eyes and meditated, the way Harry made her feel alive again, the magic from everyone was making her warm and protected, and most of all, she didn't want it to end.
Imira nodded: "I want to be a part of the family, but I have some duties that I have to fulfill first at my station."
We prepared our depart, saddling the horses, and left the town. A mile out of town, we took the plane out. We flew to Tarnag, even with dwarves on the lookout we will not be spotted, silent, runed with notice me not's and disillusions. A few miles from Tarnag we landed and unloaded everyone.
"Brom, the wives will keep you safe, do your thing in there, I will do mine in Theirm. Girls, protect Brom, don't let him do foolish things." Hah! It feels good to mess with the old man.
Brom was fuming: "I don't need protection Boy! I have been taken care of the Varden for a century."
I answered: "Of course you have, that is probably the reason you have traitors in your ranks."
I kissed the wives goodbye, the rest went into the trunk, I made a portkey to the edge of the forest where Imira is stationed, I waved one more time and activated the portkey.
Xxxxx
The portkey took a minute to reach the destination. We saddled the horses and rode to Imira's station, we were welcomed by the guardians of the station, they were amazed when the four elves that came along told them we departed from Tarnag a few hours ago. Our last dinner together with Imira was in our mansion, Imira was talking about magic with Daphne, Tracey, Luna, Ginny, Milli, and Pansy. The space expansion runes came up, how to inscribe them, and how to adjust them to a living tree.
Ginny: "You have to power the runes with the life force of the tree, the tree will view the extra room as part of itself and will not reject it."
Pansy added: "It is also important to keep it in moderation, you cant create a twenty floors palace from a small tree."
I said: "You should focus on creating portkeys, it is an easy way of traveling, if you specialize in two-way portkeys, your aids can take a break in a city for a day or two. You have the knowledge in your memory, I have to install your own mindscape before we leave, it makes it easier to go over the magic courses."
That night we gave Imira a crash course in portkey's and expansion runes after I installed her mindscape. The rest of the night was happy time in my mindscape.
The next morning the girls took Imira to one of their treehouses, and started to experiment with the extension runes, they made the room five times bigger and linked the runes to the life force of the tree. Imira made mental contact with the tree and measured the strain the runes took from it.
She said: "It is well in the capability of the tree to sustain the runes. This is a major breakthrough in our society."
Daphne: "You can do better, you forgot the runes can absorb ambient magic and feed it to the tree. The tree itself will become more magical and radiate more ambient magic in the air, creating a loop that benefits elves and trees. You will truly live in a symbiotic relationship with the forest."
Tracey commented: "Better build a regulator in it to prevent overloading the tree with magic. Too much can be more harmful than too little."
Milli: "With this configuration, the tree will have enough magic to expand the room to ten times the size next week."
Pansy commented: "Be careful when you teach it to others, one stroke wrong, or the sequence in a different order will do more harm than good. Magical damage that way is hard to correct. Especially when you work with living trees. This kind of magic takes years to learn, and few have the talent to master it. We could only learn it by the combined efforts of us all."
Imira looked at me: "Do I have permission to teach this kind of magic to our people?" I looked at my wives, all six nodded.
I said: "Make it a package, so the runes, the sequence, and the position of the runes are fixed in the same place and order. Let anyone you teach it take an oath, to never experiment on it without your supervision, or to teach others. The last thing this forest needs are elves fumbling around with something they don't know the half of it. Messing with living things has created dangerous creatures in our world, it is best to avoid it here. Search your memory for Dementors, Letifolds, Nundu, Manticore to name a few. One dark tree can infect others, and before you know it, you are moving with us to the east. It is that dangerous."
Luna added: "Make a package for every kind of tree, a Willow needs another sequence than an Oak. Make the regulators so that the tree can adjust the magic flow itself naturally. With this, I think it is safe to teach others."
Daphne: "Ad a rune sequence to merge the runes with the room, making it invisible, that will prevent others to copy from it. Harry, we better get into your mindscape and get Imira started."
We spent a few hours in my mindscape, creating a basic package, leaving gaps for the different kinds of trees. We added a rune that searched for the presence of the oath, erasing the whole thing when they try to activate it. The end result was at a Master's level. I showed Imira how to save the template in her mindscape. We left my mindscape and prepared to leave.
I hugged Imira: "This is our family gift to your people, take your time to settle your business and teach others the runes. This necklace is a permanent portkey to our base in the mountain at Carvahall, although you need to be out of the shield around Du Weldenvarden. Goodbye my love, use the journals to keep in contact."
Xxxxx
We mounted our horses and rode to the border, once we crossed it, we put the horses in the manor trunk and ported to our base in Carvahall. After a quick check on the village and Roran, Daphne flew us to the meadow we arrived in. I could have apparated here but I enjoyed the ride on her back, so did Daphne.
Luna decided to fly with me in the Spitfire, to look at the wildlife and ad some portkey locations on the way. We took off at a modest speed, we were not in a hurry to get there, Luna scouted the wildlife and the Urgal settlements.
She said: "The Urgals have reached the maximum population this region can sustain, so it is not hard for that shade to spell them. I don't see troop movements yet. I think in the book it will happen next winter."
I answered: " That leaves us plenty of time to do some damage." We stopped close to Narda for dinner. Erected a small shelter to hide the manor trunk and spent the evening writing letters to the wives, exchanging news.
