It was a quiet morning at the Mingling Table, as most of Potters' friends, except for the other two cat-witches, and Fleur and Daphne, were eating breakfast with their own Houses or by themselves with their girlfriends, as they did on occasion. Conversation turned to last night's Order meeting.
“That was so sad.” Luna began, “Poor Madam Black. Having to marry someone she couldn’t chose... especially someone as horrid as Mr Malfoy.”
“Her father more or less sold her when she was just a baby...” Parvati's satiny black tail drooped, “That’s why my mum’s parents brought her from India when she was little; so that she could marry whoever she wanted. My grandparents love each other, but they were ‘arranged,’ and they didn’t want that for her. I didn’t know they did that here too.”
“The Ministry banned forced-marriage contracts in 1968.” Hermione's furry ears twitched, “But they decided to still enforce existing contracts, so it was too late for Narcissa. I looked it up before breakfast.”
“What about your father Parvati?” Harry asked.
“He was born here.” Parvati replied, “His parents eloped and moved to England because they didn’t like who they were supposed to marry.”
Daphne gulped nervously, deciding to get it over with and tell the rest of her friends quickly.
“Lucius Malfoy tried to buy me for Draco, but my father wouldn’t let him. I think that’s why Draco tried to kidnap Astoria--because he always wanted me. I didn’t know marriage contracts had been banned though...”
Luna and Parvati both looked appalled at the idea of Daphne being sold to the Malfoys. Their furry tails and ears wilted at the dreadful notion.
“Thank goodness your father is more forward thinking Daphne.” Luna remarked.
“I don’t get it. How would that work?” Parvati’s black tail wagged in puzzlement, “If it’s been banned, you could just get out of it.”
“Binding Magical Contract!” Harry stated grimly. “If your parents used magic on the contract, it wouldn’t matter if it was illegal. You’d be stuck anyway.”
Parvati cringed. Luna squeezed her hand and smiled sweetly at her.
“It’s alright Parvati. You don’t have to worry about that. Neither of us do. I already know who I want to marry.” Luna said dreamily, tickling Parvati’s cheek with her fluffy white tail. Parvati blushed and grinned at Luna, her own sleek black tail wriggling cheerily.
“In ze French wizard world, ze witches would not put up wiz forced-marriage contracts. Zey were banned over 150 years ago. Zat is probably why some French ‘pureblood’ families moved to Britain.” Fleur asserted.
Hermione’s bushy ginger tail was curled around Harry’s shoulder’s, but the tip flicked pensively as she frowned.
“I wonder...” Hermione mused aloud, “There must be some way to prevent magical contracts from being binding on unwilling participants. I looked into it after Harry was entered into the tournament. But I haven’t found anything yet...” Hermione filed that thought away into her and Harry’s “to-do” list, along with freedom for House-Elves and more rights for Mer-people.
“...anyway,” Hermione went on, “For now, the most important thing is getting Harry through the tournament alive--and Fleur and Viktor and Cedric too, of course. And dealing with the Minister.”
“Yeah!” Harry nodded, “I’ll have to let Viktor know what to expect in the next task too. Diggory should be alright, because he’s got the DADA class with Lupin. And Professor Lupin is going to be covering most of the creatures and magical obstacles we know for certain are going to be used in the maze.”
“I’ll ask Diggory if he knows about the Skrewts though," Harry continued, "I’m not sure if he’s got Care of Magical Creatures. But we’re all going to be stuck if the Minister throws something unusual at us. And I don’t know about the Sphinx. I’m not very good with riddles.”
“I can help you with that Harry.” Luna beamed at him. “I suppose that’s one of the reasons I ended up in Ravenclaw. Daddy and I love riddles... And I can also ask him what sorts of additional unusual creatures he thinks the Ministry might be inclined to use in the third task. If they’re something already discovered, he may have some information which will be helpful.”
Hermione’s furry ears tilted cheerfully. Mr Lovegood’s information about house-elves had proved very rewarding. He might be a bit over-enthusiastic and overly-speculative about rumoured creatures with little evidence to show for them, but when it came down to it, he was quite empirical regarding the facts about known quantities.
The Lovegoods were intuitive, curious, and open-minded; and Luna in particular had strong reasoning processes Hermione had long ago decided--regardless of entertaining odd notions before all the evidence was in. Luna was very good at “out of the box” thinking, and Hermione had come to love Luna as much for her unique perspectives and intellect as she loved her for her kindness, loyalty, and forthrightness.
“Thanks Luna,” Harry responded gratefully.
As he glanced back towards Hermione, Harry caught the malevolent eye of Percy Weasley again, and an ominous feeling set the scrambled eggs in his stomach roiling. Hermione peered in the direction Harry was looking, and the fur on her spine stood on end. Noticing the shift in attention, Fleur, Daphne, and the other two cat-witches glanced up at the staff table too. Percy quickly focused back on his breakfast.
“ ‘oo is zat?” Fleur frowned, “I ‘ave not seen him before. ‘e does not look vairy pleasant. Why ees he sitting zere. ‘e looks like a student.”
“That--is our dear brother Percy...” George stated as he sat down across from Harry.
“...and we were wondering the same thing.” Fred continued, plonking himself next to his twin. Both of them had just finished their own breakfasts and spotted Percy sitting in Crouch’s seat, staring at Harry, for the second day in a row.
“Maybe Crouch is sick,” Harry responded. But he had a bad feeling that there was more to it.
“Drunk off his arse more like...” George snorted.
“He could barely stand at the Second Task...”
“...and he looked like he was about start to blubbering...”
“...mind you, so did Bagman...”
“...but we reckon that’s because that git lost a lot of money betting against you Harry.”
“But Percy looks like he hates Harry,” Daphne remarked anxiously, “What’s that all about?”
Fred and George shifted uncomfortably in their seats.
“We think he might be interning directly for the Minister now.” Fred replied sadly.
“That’s why we came over here to warn you.” George concluded as his jaw tightened.
Hermione nodded. She hated to think that Percy had gone over, as she had thought he was alright at the beginning of First Year until she had started to really fall for Harry and come to understand that there was more to life than books and arbitrary rules. But Hermione could feel Percy’s dark intent strongly, and what the Twins said was the only thing which made sense to her.
“I wonder if Dumbledore knows yet?” Harry pondered, certain that the Twins were correct.
“I don’t think so Harry. He would have mentioned it at the Order meeting last night if he knew...” Hermione caught herself and shut-up, turning crimson. Fred and George looked at each other and sighed.
“It’s alright Hermione...”
“We know all about the Order...”
“Mum and Dad are always trying to keep us from prying into it.”
“We’re surprised they let you into a meeting...”
“...Mum must have thrown a fit.” George finished with a sardonic grin.

~o0o~

Cedric nodded gratefully when Harry caught up to him at lunchtime.
“Thanks Potter. Yeah, I’ve got Hagrid’s class--and Professor Lupin’s of course. I’ll be alright. How did you find out about the next task already?”
“I... I can’t really say Diggory. But I’ll let you know if I find out any more about it. Fleur already knows, and I’ll catch up Viktor after classes today.”

~o0o~
Harry and Hermione told Viktor everything they knew about the maze and the potential obstacles they would be facing as they jogged by the lakeshore together in the carmine glow of the setting sun. All the stands were gone, and there was no sign on the surface of the lake that anything unusual had occurred not more than two and a half days ago.
Lavender groaned miserably as she struggled to keep up with her boyfriend and her two new friends. Fortunately, Harry had one of the vials of “cheering potion” which Moody had procured in his jacket, and he gave it to Lavender as they made their way back up to the castle to clean up before dinner.
Harry gasped in surprise when they returned to the Unaffiliated’s corridor. Directly across the hallway from Daphne’s quarters was a new door. Hermione’s furry tail and ears waggled joyfully, and she gave Harry a knowing smile when she spied his consternation.
“I’m sure we’ll find out at dinner Harry.”

~o0o~
Everyone was hungrily digging into Shepherd's Pie or Coq au Vin (or both in Harry’s case) when Luna proudly made the announcement.
“I decided I was tired of being in Ravenclaw. Padma’s very nice, but she’s the only one in Ravenclaw who talks to me...”
Cho, who was sitting with Cedric at the other end of the Mingling Table, flushed in embarrassment and coughed on a piece of carrot.
“...and she’s not Parvati...” Luna continued as she flicked her fluffy white tail.
“Are people still being mean to you Luna?” Harry interrupted, his face darkening, “If anyone’s taking your things I’ll...”
‘No, it’s alright, nothing like that Harry,” Luna said hurriedly and shook her head, her big eyes widening, “Nobody’s done anything mean to me since you dealt with Draco...”
Hermione snuggled next to Harry and purred lightly, tightening her bushy ginger tail around him.
“I just wanted to be with my friends, and I asked the Headmaster if Parvati and I could be unaffiliated too...”
“I still can’t believe it that Professor Dumbledore said yes,” Parvati interjected, her own face writ with amazement. Her satiny black tail and ears quivered. It didn’t seem real to her yet. “When Luna told me, I had to ask McGonagall if it was really true...”
“The Headmaster said that it was for the best,” Luna purred, and eyes shone brightly. She peered down the table at Harry, Hermione, Daphne, and Fleur as she concluded, “He told me that the Houses are supposed to be our friends and family, and that Parvati and I deserved to be with our truest friends. So he gave me and Parvati our own chambers together in the Unaffiliated Corridor.”
Everyone was astonished by Luna’s proclamation. Fred and George smirked and chortled a bit at each other and Angelina shoved them both playfully.
“Shut it you two...”
Ginny gazed adoringly at Neville and squirmed closer to him, imagining having their own private chambers. He flushed slightly, and smiled awkwardly at Luna and Parvati.
“Er... congratulations,” Neville said shyly. Cedric, Viktor, and their girlfriends offered their own felicitations to the two new Unaffiliateds. Luna wore a seraphic smile and Parvati blushed furiously. Harry, Hermione, Daphne, and Fleur were all delighted.
“Maybe... per’aps zis would be a good time to make my own pronouncement...” Fleur began tentatively, as the Mingling Table settled down. “Madame Maxime, and Headmaster Dumbledore, zey have both approve’ my transfer to ’ogwarts pending ze completion of ze Tournament.
There was a collective gasp, and then silence, except for the happy sound of three swishing cat-tails. Daphne’s heart skipped a beat, and her breathing quickened. Daphne gave Fleur’s arm a gentle squeeze, and quietly broke the silence,
“You can stay in my quarters with me if you’d like to Fleur...”

AN: Response to review:
@ tinkerbabe7: That's a very fair question.
Originally I had planned for at least one additional male in what I had planned to be a very exclusive little club to begin with. But there was only one boy in Hogwarts who I felt had the right combination of characteristics to join in: Neville. But then he hooked up with Ginny, and so that basically ended that possibility, as Ginny doesn't have the right temperament to become part of the group.
I chose to avoid the Harry/Harem! tag because this fic was intended to be distinct from the BDSM Harem-Lord fics, or the Harry-shags-every-girl-in-school fics (I do enjoy reading those sorts of fics on occasion, I just didn't want to write one) which is what that tag usually covers. So I chose the Swinger! tag instead.
This story was intended to be about commited loving relationships, friendship, kindness, and trust. Trust is very important when Partner Sharing, so that meant I was limited in who could be joining in, as both partners have to be able to agree who to share each other with. And frankly, other than Neville, there aren't any other males in the Potter series who fit that bill.
They all have issues, even the twins who I like best. They're too aggressive to be part of the group, and better off in their own little club.
As it is, I think Neville probably didn't really have the right temperament either, especially not Third Year Neville, who really lacks the confidence and needs the ego-booster that having a one on one relationship with a girl like Ginny provides. I don't think partner sharing would be good for him.
The other key factor is, ultimately, this story is more about Kitty-Hermione sharing Her Man with her girlfriends. For Harry, having sex with the other girls in this fic is a bonus. He's devoted to Hermione, and her joy comes first in his mind.
There is a bit more to it, but that is my basic reasoning for how things worked out. Once I draw the initial characterisations, I let the characters write themselves more or less, and so this is the direction the story went.
Fleur is the last major character who will be joining the Potters' little group. It is possible that Tonks may have a moment later on. But if she does, it will be a fling like the moment with Myrtle.
