Disclaimer:

Mrs. J.K., I must admit I like this story. I planned it to be a short one, but now I want to see for myself how far it can go. I still do this for free you know… Meh, it is the truth, even if you don't believe me.

Previous:

Harry, all dressed up, with two bouquets of roses, scared shitless, found himself in front of the gate of Bones Manor.

4 Courting or not?

Winky, the ever-eager matchmak… helper said: "Master, step closer to the gate. That be the head elf and the Lord of the House knows a visitor is coming. Master not be forgetting to compliment the Misses a lot."

Sneaky elf! That is pushing the poor lad deeper into the swamp! I hope Harry survives the day in one piece.

Harry swallowed, gathered his last bits of Griffindor courage, and stepped closer to the gate: "Thank you for helping me Winky."

"Master being happy with lots of babies is all that Winky wants." Whispered Winky to herself.

An old elf popped at the gate, and opened it: "Heir… Lord Potter, I am Benny, the head elf of House Bones. Mistress Bones be expecting you, take my hand if you want to move to the front door."

Without a clue, Harry took Benny's hand, a pop later he stood at the doorstep. Harry silently regretted not walking to the door to delay it a bit longer.

Madam Bones opened the door: "Welcome to Bones Manor Heir Potter, come in please."

In the entrance hall, Harry saw Susan and Hannah, all dressed up, with, he guessed should be Hannah's parents. An older girl in her twenties and a small boy are standing next to the couple, both enjoying Harry's discomfort.

Harry's mind froze up, completely forgetting what he read in How to Woo your Witch, he went like a C3PO to Susan and Hannah, gave the two bouquets to the girls, and stammered: "Hmm… Susan, Hannah… these are for you."

The older girl lost it and started giggling, only stopping it when her mother elbowed her. It woke Harry up though: "Oh! I am sorry for my bad manners, I am not exactly sure what to do."

Madam Bones did damage control: "No harm done Heir Potter, we will just assume you were dazzled by the sight of the girls. Let me introduce you to everyone. First, Lord Percival Abbot from the Ancient and Noble House of Abbot. His wife Lady Harriet Abbot nee Harper. Their daughter Heiress Peggy, and Heir Primary Damon. You are already familiar with Heiress Hannah and my niece Heiress Susan."

Boy! I am glad Harry visited the toilet before he left, or he would shit his pants with that introduction. It made him remember some of the stuff he read in the books though, he brushed the hands of the women and shook the male's hands the proper way.

"Thank you for having me Madam Bones, lately my status changed, it is Harry James Potter, Lord of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter now."

Good move Padawan! Slap them down with your higher status, he even flashed the ring! But I think he did not realize it is a slap-down.

Madam Bones was surprised: "Oh? Congratulations are in order then, the Ministry and the Wizengamot are not yet notified, this must be done within a week by Gringotts. But enough of that, lunch is ready in the small dining hall. We discuss this later."
