The Minister of Magic had never seen so many letters and Howlers. All of them angry and directed towards him. Each one he read said about the same thing. Shame on him for threatening Harry Potter. How dare you dictate his life. So on and so forth. He couldn’t get his head around why so many people were angry when he was trying to do the right thing. Harry publishing that interview would cause rioting and even more dividing of the Wizarding world. Couldn’t they see that? He rubbed his eyes, exhaustion taking over. If the letters continued in this fashion he would have no choice but to take bake the arrest warrant he had waiting to be sent out. He’d give it a few days and see what happens before he made any move against the young Lord.

The move went smoothly. Evans Manor was turned into a proper hide away and Molly was settling in nicely.
“Tomorrow when we go shopping, I’m going to hire a few elves to help you run this place. That way you won’t be stressing out over everything so much.” Harry said as he and Molly walked the garden.
They were deciding what plants to plant in the yard and what would be better suited in the large greenhouse they found on the eastside of the Manor.
“Oh Harry, thank you so much!” Molly wrapped him in a hug. They continued walking the grounds listing which plants would be best outside. They decided that they would use the greenhouse to grow food and herbs that wouldn’t survive the colder seasons and the outside grounds would be dedicated to hardier plants they could use in potions that would survive the colder months and snow.
“Professor Snape should be able to give you a list of plants that will grow outside year-round.” Harry was saying as they walked back into the Manor. Everyone who had been living at Grimauld was there. They were cleaning, organizing, and rearranging rooms to serve as a hospital room, a nursery, and an office for Molly.
“Things are going so smooth. I dread the day the other shoe drops and balances out this good fortune.” Harry said with a sigh.
“Do not fret dear. When that day comes, we will be well prepared. Now, you need to go set up the wards and the master list for who is allowed access. Make sure that the list can be edited to allow those seeking safety in.” Molly called as Harry walked away.
He walked to the front gate. It was solid iron, plain, yet elegant at the same time. He had with him a small silver knife. Lucius had told him that for most ceremonies involving a blood bond, like the one Harry was about to do, a silver knife would be his best choice since it was a pure metal. Harry looked for the center of the gate where the lock was. When he found it, he started the ceremony. Harry made a small cut in the palm of his hand and waited for a little blood to pool in his hand. He then placed his hand on the lock.
“I Harrison James Potter, only descendant of the Evans line, renew the bond that was broken through time. Those in my home are welcome guests. A master list is needed to protect those Molly Wesley and I welcome into this home. May it be undetectable by all those who wish us harm and may those who seek a safe shelter easily find my door. The wards I ask for are those of secrecy, protection, and defense against any who would harm those that live or visit this home.”
Harry felt a tingle start in his hand and climb up his arm. He could feel his magic binding with the wards, shaping them to do what he asked. He felt the wards bend around and then accept the magical signatures of his friends and family already on the grounds. He looked at his hand and saw two pieces of parchment. One he saw listed those he trusted. It included people that weren’t even on the property. The second list was of those who he distrusted. Between the lists formed a dark black quill. The lists floated to the ground with the quill landing on top of them. The tingle receded and Harry picked up the lists and quill. He walked back inside and handed them to Molly.
“The wards are set. Anyone who finds this place is to sign their name on this list with this quill. Any who try to find us to do harm will be added to this list.”
Molly took both lists and locked them in her office desk.
“Well done Harry. We could feel the wards strengthening from in here, adding us as they went.” She gave him a hug then sent him to the kitchen for a snack.

Dumbledore was livid. Nobody was at Grimauld, not even Sirius. Where did they go? He did a find me spell and watched as his back up wand just spun in circles. The blasted thing couldn’t find them!
‘They are in hiding somewhere, but where?’ He thought of every location he could think of they would have gone. With a smile, he popped over the Potter Manor.
He reached for the gate and was surprised when it shocked him. He growled, someone was in the house who didn’t trust him. That was the only reason the wards wouldn’t let him in. He tried again, tried to push past the sting and couldn’t do it. He looked up when he heard a laugh.
“Go away Albus! You aren’t wanted nor needed here.” Sirius called from the door.
“You all will rue this day! You will need me and the day you do I will turn you out like you have done so to me!” Dumbledore apparated away.
Sirius shook his head and flooed Harry to let him know what just happened.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Harry had just spoken to Sirius. He had a sinking feeling in his chest the Dumbledore was planning something that was going to hurt, bad. He shook it off. They would cross that bridge when they got there. He told the others what Sirius had just told him, they all frowned. With a group sigh they went back to what they were doing.
“What time are you going shopping?” Hermione asked as she and Harry dusted the library.
“We are leaving at nine. When I say we that includes you and Ginny by the way.” Harry smiled as he heard Hermione gasp.
“You know we can’t come close to affording anything from where Lady Malfoy is going to take you.” She stated.
“I am aware. That is why I am gifting you too with this trip. Anything you want is on me. You two have been the constants in my life where Ron wasn’t. You two deserve to be treated with a day of luxury from me for putting up with all the crazy crap I’ve put you through.”
He had barely finished speaking when he felt Hermione hug him from behind. She hadn’t even given him the chance to turn around so he could hug her back. He felt her shake as she quietly cried into his shoulders.
“You don’t have to do that Harry.”
“I want to. As a way of showing you two how much I appreciate all you have done for me. Besides, you two should be dressed in the finest money can buy considering the positions you hold.”
“What positions?”
“Well, you are a business owner and the head of my research department here. Ginny is going to be my right hand in teaching dueling since she has a talent for it, thank you twins!” Harry chuckled.
“Oh Harry! I’m going to go tell Ginny!”
Hermione have him one final squeeze before she took off to find Ginny. In the dark times that were to come, Harry was glad that he could make is friends so happy by doing for them what was never done for him.
The next day dawned bright and clear. Harry quickly dressed and joined the others in the main dining hall for breakfast. Hermione and Ginny were talking a mile a minute about what they wanted to buy and couldn’t stop telling Harry thank you. Molly had tears in her eyes and thanked Harry as well. She knew he was doing it out of thanks for all her girl has done and not because he pitied them. She couldn’t have asked for a kinder boy to be a part of their extended family. Once they finished eating, all three flooed to Malfoy Manor to meet Draco and Narcissa.
“Good morning you three. While we are out today we must be on our best behaviors. Everyone will be watching to see how those closest to Harry and new acquaintances will address him and how he will address others.” Narcissa said as she readied the portkey.
They all touched the little handbag and were whisked off to Paris. The teens looked around in awe. Ginny and Harry had never been to Paris before and they were loving all the sights and sounds of the city.
“This way Lord Potter. We will start with your everyday wear.” Narcissa lead the teens to one of the finest shops in the Wizarding world. When they arrived, the shop keeper was more than happy to dress the young Lord and his two beautiful friends. Hermione and Ginny blushed at the compliments and stood to be measured. The shop keeper showed them many different styles for everyday wear. Harry went with comfort and function first with well fitted slacks and button up shirts in every color of green, black, brown, and grey they had. Hermione and Ginny went with a mix of slacks, skirts, and dresses that complimented their eyes and skin tone. When they were finished, each teen had a well-stocked wardrobe that fit their styles and color.
“Before we do anything else, I would like to go hirer house elves.” Harry stated as they left the shop.
“Good idea Harry. Ginny and I can help you choose who would work best with Molly.” Hermione suggested as Narcissa nodded in agreement. Narcissa led the way to the local hiring home for house elves.
“Good day m’lady. How may I help you?” Asked the young woman at the front desk.
“Lord Potter here is looking to hire several elves along with a personal elf.” Narcissa replied. The young woman looked to Harry.
“What jobs do you need fulfilled in your home?” She asked as she pulled out a quill and parchment.
“I will be staffing two manors. Both require kitchen elves, general maintenance elves, and gardening elves.” Harry stated. The woman wrote everything down and asked,
“And for your personal elf?”
“I’m not sure.”
“He will need an elf that will maintain his personal quarters, run personal errands for him, and be the leader for the other elves to answer questions while Harry is in school.” Draco said when he saw Harry starting to flounder.
“Very well. I will have a selection of elves brought before you. We will start with the kitchen elves.”
She tapped the parchment, shortly after a dozen elves showed up. Harry, Ginny, and Hermione selected the elves they thought would work best in both homes. They did the same for the general maintenance elves and for the garden elves. Harry was signing the papers for them, assigning them to the right manor before signing his name. He watched as each elf was dressed in a towel toga with either the Evans or Potter crest pinned to their shoulder.
“Here are the elves trained in personal services.” Only a few elves showed up.
Harry looked them over. He decided on an elf named Pock. He filled out the paperwork and assigned Pock to be primarily at Potter Manor with the freedom to move between the two as needed to help the other elves. With the elves situated and happy in their new homes, the group continued their shopping.

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year! I know its been a few days since my last chapter, but this one is a little bit longer than the others and I had a little trouble making everything flow how I wanted it to. Hope you enjoy it.
