Alright, I'm back again :D :D :D . Oh my god, this next chapter is too cute for words! I really really really hope you like it. Remember to leave reviews (the make my muse happy) but DO NOT FLAME. i am not going to respond to flamers anymore - it just empowers them.

Now that thats out the way (horray!) I want to give a very special shout out to a dear friend of mine. She doesn't want me to use her real name on the web, but we'll just call her *Sparkles* (giggle). Seriously, these last few months have been HECTIC, and I was THIS CLOSE to dropping out of med school entirely. Thankfully, she got me back on the right track, putting my faith back in myself and in someone a little higher up... and it's good to be back here, doing something I enjoy because the important things in life a sailing smooth once more.

Now that everything was understood, Harry sent an elf to ask Tracey to come down stairs. The elf popped away, then reappeared a moment later too say Tracey was on the way. Harry smiled at the elf, giving it five galleons as a tip. The elf blushed heavily, but accepted the money, understanding the spirit of the payment.

"Hello Master... Mistress." Tracey said demurely, keeping her eyes downward, and still trembling slightly.

Harry frowned. "Call me Harry. And this is Fleur. I did not mean for you to become my servant, and we shall not treat you as one." Harry said in a regal tone.

Tracey looked up, smiling when she saw the genuine looks on Harry and Fleur's face. "Thank you. I promise that I will nonetheless show you the respect deserved of your position." Suddenly, she scowled. "In truth, I would have done so even had my father," she said the word hatefully, "not put me in this position. I unlike him, respect the old ways. He cares for nothing but money and power, even at the hands of a half blood."

It was now Harry who looked shocked. "You know his true Identity?"

"Of course" Tracey scoffed, her head now high as she chucked. "Tom Riddle, now Lord Voldemort, a petty, vindicative, evil man ashamed of his own lineage now taking it out against the world. It's no secret – all the purebloods know, but are too cowardly to claim so. They accept his lies, eager for a return of long gone power."

Harry was stunned. How lucky, to have such a smart brave girl on his side! Suddenly, he looked down. Such thoughts came very close to betraying Fleur, and he knew that she was just as smart and brave, if not more. He should not be thinking of other women.

But it is not wrong to see the good in everyone. I must not forget that. Shaking his head, he smiled. "You will do well with us Tracey, I promise."

"Oui, eet eez good to 'av you wif us, Madmoiselle Trayzee." Fleur said, holding out an elegant hand. "You will be to me, comme une seour." At that she turned back to Harry. "Speaking of mes sisters, 'Arry, I should like to write to my family. They will be great allies pour vous, and it would be nice to zee Gabrielle encore."

"Of course," Harry responded, almost losing himself once more in the depths of her eyes as her hand held his. "I too, would enjoy meeting your family." He blushed. "If it is not too soon, that is..."

Fleur let out her famous tinkling laugh, kissing Harry. "Mais of course not, mon amour. They weel be delighted, to meet zee famuz 'Arry Potter after all zis time."

The two shared another kiss, before they returned to business. "If I am to be the man I must be, it is time to forge alliances. I know of two who I feel I can trust. We will make a trip to Diagon Alley immediately." He paused, looking at Tracey. "I would like to make you my lieutenant, but I need to know what skills you have."

Tracey blushed prettily. "I am... unfortunately weak in overall magic. But I am gifted in a certain branch... but I will have to show you later. But I am also well versed in the arts of potions."

Harry nodded, his own skills in potions were better than average, despite the hinderance of a very nasty potions professor with a grudge, but it would be useful to have someone who was better than simply above average, with the sort of things he would need. "Very well, but for now," he grinned rougishly, winking at an invisible figure standing behind Tracey (and unseen to all but Harry, quite lecherously ogling Tracey's bum) "it's time for the Secret Order of the New Round Table to begin it's first diplomatic overture." Suavely, he put an arm around both women (though the arm around Felur brought her tightly against him, whereas the one with Tracey was much more platonic) and in a moment, they disappeared, with a soft pop appearing a moment later in the basement of Weasley Wizard Wheezes.

"Forge, something just tripped the-"

"- Apparation wards. So they did Gred-"

"- Why don't you go down"

"And take a peak"

"To see what just"

"Happened?"

"No, you go." Came the twin replies. Harry rolled his eyes in the dark, casting a swift Lumos charm before bellowing back. "It's me lads, thought I'd pay my dear business partners a visit."

"Well, so it is!"

"Our old friend, Harry."

"Ickle Ronnikins isn't to pleased with you"

"You know. Still Gred says I, we ought to"

"Hear Mr. Potter out himself"

"Before we jump to any conclusions."

"Not to mention, Ron's seems to be following"

"Percy in more ways than one these days.."

"I'm sorry Fred, George... but it's true, your brother and Ginny and Hermione seemed to believe me to be a threat. I will understand if you don't trust me either, but if you do, I have a proposition to you."

The twins looked at one another for an instant before nodding together. Then unlike before, only one of them spoke (though Harry could not tell which one).

"We thought it was something like that. Harry mate, we couldn't be here today without you. We trust you – full stop. We'll swear on it if you like, after all, no Weasley worth the name ever betrayed a friend." Their faces of distaste showed what they thought of the two youngest Weasleys (and Percy) sharing the name.

Harry smiled. He was sad, but happy that at least the twins supported him. "That won't be necessary for now – though later, because I have some information that must remain top secret. For now though, will you take an oath of secrecy to be admitted into The Secret Order of the New Round Table."

The two gasped, realizing the seriousness of the situation. "Of course Harry." The two made the oath, connection themselves to Harry by a tendril of magic.

Suddenly, the door to the back room burst open, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, and Katie Bell running in, throwing themselves at Harry's feet and as one, shouting out, "We do pledge ourselves to thee, as magic as our witness, to take you as our Lord Leige, to protect your secrets, and to never betray the Secret Order of the New Round Table."

Harry was shocked. Looking up at the twins, who were looking down bashfully. "Suppose we should have mentioned, the girls were around, waiting for Lee to get back before we were all heading out to lunch." Harry paused, unsure what to do. "Well, he said at last, guess the Order has a few members I did not count on."

Still he was not upset. He knew all three of them were beautiful, intelligent witches who would bring much to his cause. Still, Fleur, though she had not said anything and had accepted his previous exclamations, seemed rather uneasy about three witches suddenly taking Harry as their Lord. Trying to diffuse the situation, he said shakily, "Must be quite a think eh lads, to have your girlfriends suddenly making me their Lord."

"Oh don't worry," Katie said airily, unaware of the tension in the room. "We're all single – just meeting up with friends for lunch." Suddenly she blushed, realizing what was happening. "Oh no! Don't think that we only did this to -"

"It's alright Katie, I understand. No harm done." She sighed, and Alicia spoke up. "We do believe in you Harry. And when we heard what was going on, we all knew that you really are the Harry Potter – both the boy we know and the man we shall follow." Grinning, she added coyly, "and what a man you've become."

Harry squirmed. Putting an arm around Fleur and glaring halfheartedly at Tracey, who was now snickering at him.

Oh Merline, what have I gone and done now.

Your own fault my boy, I certainly never got myself into a position like this.

It was a figure of speech! Merlin, this is hard... GAH, how can I do this when you are actually here.

Merlin laughed.

Okay, I know I promised that this would be only Harry/Fleur. And I really really want to keep it that way (they are just soooooo cute together). However, I might, might might make it Harry multi. It won't be a harem though, and it will be a respectful multi - no sluts doing Harry's bidding or anything like that. It's about mutual and loving respect, regardless of the pairing. And again, maybe I won't do it. But if you do want to see Harry/Fleur/??? then please put in the review what you would like to see.

I'm not making it a poll, because again, I want to emphasize that it is ultimately my choice, but that I will take reader consideration into it. Thank you! Review. Be nice :)
