Chapter 2: What is a Prince Without a Princess
'Wake up Harry. Its almost time to go to the Weasley's for your birthday' my sister Belladonna (Bella) shaking me excitedly.
'I'm up' I said pushing my younger sister off my chest. She has a habit of snaking her way on top of me when waking me up.
'Remember our deal. You have to spend the whole day with me no sneaking off to play with Ginny and Luna' I remind my black haired emerald green eyed sister.
'You know that's not possible mom told me that its my job to watch over all the girls around you to make sure that they are loyal and will never hurt you' she said pouting.
'Good girl Bella, you will manage your brothers ladies because you are family and will always love him' Lily said from the doorway.
'But mom what if I don't want her too' I complained for the thousandth time.
'Too bad, that is the position we have decided that she will play in your ascent. You will thank me later' Lily said with an air of authority.
'Now hurry up and get dressed we mustn't be late' Lily scolded.
Grumbling I got out of bed and walked over to the dresser pulling out a pair of trousers and a golden yellow shirt.
**POV Shift**
'Do you think this is cute enough Luna' Ginny asked her best friend twirling in red sundress.
'Of course it is Gin. You match me' Luna responded airy voice giving a twirl in her blue complimenting dress.
'Come on we still have a little while before they get here let's go to our special spot that mother Lily made us' Ginny suggested.
The girls left Ginny's room in the borough going to a specific tree hidden amongst the orchard they tapped on a branch and the tree shifted revealing a winding staircase around inside the trunk leading to a treetop treehouse.
This treehouse is visited at least once a day by the girls. It's what one would expect out of a magic treehouse in that it's functionally a normal house.
The only difference is in the central room there is a magically updating statue of the saviour and future king of the magic world Harry Potter.
At the feet of the statue is a small shrine dedicated to his worship adorned with scraps of his old clothes magicked to not deteriorate and maintain his sent.
When the pair reached the treehouse they immediately raced to the shrine and each took a scrap of cloth and knelt in front of it in complete silence waiting for their foretold prince's arrival.
**POV Shift**
'Wake up Gemma' a serious individual said shaking her.
'No go away dad let me sleep longer' she responded rolling over.
'You leave me with no choice then we still have to get Nymphadora' Sirius said transforming into his dog form and proceeding to lick and slobber all over his daughters face.
'Fine I'm up you disgusting flea bag. Why do we have to get Tonks?' She asked while using Sirius's now untransformed shirt to remove the dog off of her face.
'Cause it's Harry's birthday today so we are going to the borough for the party' Sirius responded giving his daughter the stink eye for using his shirt to clean up.
'Harry… we are going to see Harry' Gemma said making a complete 180 in personality turning into what appears to be an excitable puppy then back to her normal form.
Her normal form being ghostly pale skin with short black hair she appears to be bordering on underweight but still healthy for her age.
She quickly made her way too her dresser not caring that her dad was still in the room she stripped completely and put on a pair of black shorts and black tank top combo accessorized by combat boots and what could only be a dog collar around her neck.
'Do you not care that I'm still here' Sirius said flustered and hurriedly turning his back.
'Nope cause this is how you raised me and Lily would kill you if I told her about this'. 'Lily why does daddy watch me when I dress' Gemma said in an innocent voice.
'Fine I won't wake you up like that again. Don't forget to remind me to get Nymphadora to do more training with you now that she's graduated. The teachers will be annoyed with me if we don't get your mood transformations under control' Sirius said cursing his own luck some interaction between his families predilection for metamorphmagus had a weird interaction with his animagus transformation to make his daughter a weird hybrid version where she could transform into different animals instead of changing her body.
Sirius sighed and had a stray thought about Gemma's mother. After James's death and after Peter getting his comeuppance he sank into a deep depression and spent months whoring until Lily snapped him out of it after Gemma was born.
Lily found out about Gemma because she was exploring Hogwarts and found an entry being made into the book of acceptance the book wrote that she was accepted at age 0. This was weird so she investigated.
After some digging she heard from some obliviators talking about dumping a girl who was just born in an orphanage after her mother was killed giving birth to her as a black puppy.
**POV Shift**
Leaving the updated Potter manor the green eyed trio made their way to the borough.
They are greeted by the Weasley family plus Luna, Sirius, Gemma and Nymphadora. Gemma instantly rushes forward and tackled me to the ground showing affection.
'Happy birthday Harry' Gemma said eagerly pushing her body closer to me, nuzzling into my shoulder.
I got up but I still have Gemma attached to my chest like a backpack and said 'thank you Gemma but could you be more mindful so that I don't get all dirty next time.'
'No because what is magic for if it can't make you never get dirty' taking a big sniff of me Gemma exclaimed.
Walking over to the rest of the waiting group I greeted everyone else.
'Harry Do you want to play quidditch with us' Ron asked.
Before responding I looked and saw that Ginny was pouting slightly at this. Seeing this I responded with 'unfortunately I don't think my extra addition makes that safe and I doubt she will let go any time soon so maybe later.'
Seeing her chance Ginny asked out loud to no one in particular 'can Luna Bella and I take Harry to our birthday surprise?'
Mrs Weasley said 'of course dear as long as your back by Lunchtime.'
'Yay' Ginny exclaimed. At this she quickly grabbed my hand and dragged me off towards the orchard.
At Lily's nod Nymphadora followed close behind.
**POV Shift**
'What did they get him, do you know Lily?' Mrs Weasley asked.
'I have no idea, but I doubt that it's anything major as I only know Bella spent her weeks allowance on it' Lily lied.
She knew exactly what it was as it was thanks to her manipulation of the girls that they act like this.
She remembers when she caught Luna and Ginny playing Harry Potter and Harry Potter's wife respectively.
Lily jumped on this opportunity and convinced the two girls that Harry Potter the great saviour of the magic world deserved as many wives as he wanted and that that wasn't enough because if they truly wanted one of those coveted positions they would need to fully worship him and let him and facilitate for him the whole world.
From that point on they became members of the cult of Harry Potter with Lily as the the elder priestess, Bella as the high priestess in training and Luna and Ginny as disciples of the great Harry Potter.
The cult also include everyone who was in Hufflepuff in the last 9 years as Lily has been preparing Hogwarts for the arrival of her son.
These changes include but not limited to:
Hufflepuff is the most mysterious house as all gossip ceased to exist outside of the house from the point of view of others.
Occlumency was mandatory in Hufflepuff. It is taught by Lily this was because against a legilimens your mind could betray you and that wouldn't do in the house of loyalty.
The male Hufflepuff dorms are not separated by age and are laid out in a barracks style.
The male population of Hufflepuff has stopped dating as in the cult of Harry Potter wizards are only allowed to have muggles and all witches belong to Harry Potter, if he is not available then they follow the same rules as the males and are only allowed muggles.
A new room was added to the Hufflepuff common room and that is the chapel of the chosen one. Where Lily gives a weekly service to affirm everyone's commitment to the cult.
The girls dorm had an odd layout as it was one massive room that was then connected to a bunch of individual side bedrooms each labeled with an individual student. None of these side rooms had a door but instead had bead curtain doors the adjoining bathroom attached to the big room was in a Roman communal bath style.
As a result most of not all Hufflepuff graduates did not fully live in the wizarding world, most spent a good 80% of their time in the muggle world. The only exception was the odd pureblood in Hufflepuff as they didn't have the same problem getting a proper wizard job as the muggleborns.
Lily also had an agreement with the house elves not to say anything about her changes. She did this by asking the house elves that were in charge of Hufflepuff to bind themselves not to Hogwarts but to Hufflepuff house instead and by extension the head of Hufflepuff. They agreed without argument as in reality all the Hogwarts elves were at one point Hufflepuff elves as it was Helga Hufflepuff who made the kitchens and staffed all the original elves.
Most of these went unnoticed by Dumbledore but the last one worried him. He thought Lily was driving away all the muggleborns.
She pointed out that this wasn't a change really as the only difference was that now instead of leaving after a couple of years not being able to find a good job.
They now knew their chances going in thus they didn't stick around with the false hope the others gave them.
Outside at the ministry they didn't notice anything as the muggleborns from Ravenclaw and Gryffindor were more then enough as is.
**POV Shift**
Reaching the orchard treehouse I was lead inside by Ginny and Luna each holding one of my hands.
As soon as I stepped through the threshold my statue shimmered then turned into a throne Ginny and Luna brought me towards it and sat me down on it.
Before they went any further I asked 'are you guys alright with Gemma being here?'
Much to my surprise Gemma responded 'don't worry about me because of how I always acted around you Lily brought me into the fold last summer. Even if she has less access to me my actions have proven my loyalty thus I know who you really are not the act you put on in front of the other Weasleys.'
'So what is my gift then?' I asked anxiously.
'We have decided on our future roles and thus we would like you to induct us into them so let us go change and we will be right back for the ceremony' Bella said while running off to the other room.
'What about you Gemma don't you have to as well?' I asked.
'Nope' she said popping the p.
'We each got to design our own ceremony as we will be performing it instead of you when we induct new members into our respective orders. So I made mine really simple so I wouldn't have to do a whole lot' she continued.
'Of course you did' I said under my breath clicking my tongue in annoyance.
She reached out and gave me a playful bite on my neck and said 'don't be like that it's more work when I have to do it on others but when it's just you and me it's simple.
After a bit of waiting the three girls walked out of the side room all wearing long black cloaks that hid what they were wearing underneath and obscured their faces.
Bella stepped forward first kneeling at the base of the dais she said 'I will be going first brother. I will lead the order of inquisition as it only your own blood my be trusted to maintain order, prevent spy's and heretics. Furthermore as the high priestess I am in charge of all your followers. My inquisition will only be filled with the most loyal and by joining my order one gives up their name and individuality.'
'My ritual right now is just me professing my loyalty to you and you recognizing it by placing your mark upon me. The ritual for my followers will connect their minds together in a quasi hive mind with my authority being absolute' she continued.
'One last secret before we begin mother said it is my choice whether to share this with you but I feel that it is important. It is likely that he-who-must-not-be-named is my father' she said meekly.
'It matters not my precious sister. Let us begin' I said not really caring as the bad man wasn't the one who raised her and mother had told him the r rated ministry version.
Responding to his approval took off her cloak revealing a French maid outfit she walked closer and went back to kneeling at my feet this time 'our job is to remove the filth brother so it's fitting no' she gestured to her outfit.
'Yes very sister' I responded. 'Let us continued' I said.
'Brother I vow to never betray you and to tireless protect you and your own before my own safety and life. To always help you no matter the action or consequences' Bella said.
When she was done saying her bit she reached up and grabbed my hand with a ring on it that mother said protected me from minor harmful potions and kissed it.
She then slipped what felt like a dog collar into my hand gesturing for me to put it on her.
'I accept your vows my Bella, let this collar be the convenient of your vows' I said as I wrapped the dog collar around her neck. As I clasped it in place the clasp disappeared leaving a leather band with no obvious way to get it off on her neck.
Startled by this I asked 'was it supposed to do that Bella?'
'Of course silly that's the way mom enchanted it don't worry only you and anyone who's wearing one similar can see it' Bella said giggling at my surprise.
'Luna your up next' Bella said.
Luna shrugged off her cloak revealing a mask that seemed to have no features and just an unending void the only way I could tell who it was was the hair and that she was still wearing that blue dress.
It was odd in that she hadn't said anything yet but I soon learned why as she reached up and took off the mask. Her face was smiling but it wasn't Luna's face it was Nymphadora's.
She quickly kneeled down and said 'Milord your mother has been training me since I started Hogwarts to be the best covert operator possible because of my abilities. My order is that of the darkness. We work in the shadows to do things that you cannot. The ritual that my members will go through will allow them to use part of my abilities like altering their face but they won't be able to mimic another person like I can.'
With a quick wave of her wand her clothes changed into an older version of Gemma's and he body grew to the right size as she walked to my feet where she knelt down again.
'Milord I vow to never betray you and to tireless protect you and your own before my own safety and life. To always help you no matter the action or consequences' Nymphadora said following in the same fashion as Bella kissing the ring and offering me a collar to place around her neck.
Luna for real this time stepped forward wearing a lab coat that was like a full length dress on her.
She skipped the explanation as to what her order was because 'it's obvious what my order is no.'
Her vow was 'boss I will discover all the secrets of the world so that you may use them as you wish.'
Her collar was also different as she needed two collars to make sure she never forgot her place.
Ginny's turn was next she took off her cloak to reveal a harem girl outfit very demurely she walked to my feet and prostrated herself.
'As the only daughter of the most fertile wizarding family I will be the head of your personal household. I will chose and maintain your many servants it has been decided that when you graduate the Potter manor will be heavily upgraded to better suit your needs it will be on a scale larger then Hogwarts. Your mother has also devised a ritual to give people house elf like magic in the way that it works on a different frequency then normal wizards magic' She said.
'Husband I vow to never betray you, keep all your secrets, and to tireless protect you and your own before my own safety and life. To always help you no matter the action or consequences' she said kissing the ring afterwards.
She pulled a collar from seemingly nowhere and handed it to me. It was gold instead of leather and had a vibrant emerald encrusted in the front that seemed to glow softly.
'Your mother said that household members need more of a reminder of their position since they will always be around you thus they might become full of themselves thus the heavy weight around their necks' she explained as I put the collar around her neck.
Bella giggled at this and said 'I believe the phrasing mom used was "we don't need any uppity bitches thinking that their meager access to my son makes them special"'
I along with everyone else laughed at this.
'Ok your up Gemma' I said trying to coax the girl whos still on my lap to get up.
'Only if they promise not to take my spot' she said threateningly getting up.
Nymphadora seeing her chance quickly morphed into a carbon copy of Gemma and quickly claimed the recently vacated spot much to Gemma's chagrin.
'Technically your still in it' Luna said laughing.
Gemma started her bit by completely undressing. stunned by this I didn't say anything and just waited. She crawled on all fours to the base of my feet and looked up at me.
'Master my order will be your personal protectors and guards. While your mother has been creating an army I will be creating you a force that is independent and ruthless. We will not hold anything sacred we will practice any magic no matter how evil just so you have access to it. Your mother using my blood has developed an animagus ritual that allows one to become a magical animal of their choice but it is expensive and if the animal is too far away from their spirit animal personality changes may occur. Also it allows them to partially manifest these traits to allow use of these magical abilities in a humanish form' she said.
'I vow to never betray you and to tireless protect you and your own before my own safety and life. To always help you no matter the action or consequences in furthering your goals' she continued.
She then kissed the ring and handed me a studded leather collar which I quickly put on her. She then grabbed a bunch of dog tags from somewhere and clipped them onto her collar.
Seeing that she was done I asked 'why did you need to be naked for that
