Harry Potter: The Witty Wizard

"If someone like... say... Lucius Malfoy had figured that out for himself, he could have gone to 'his good friend' the Minister, Cornelius Fudge, and made a... shall we also say... contribution to the man's re-election campaign fund; then more gold changes hands with members of the School Board and, before you know it, he's appointed Head of Gryffindor and, therefore, your magical guardian.

"With that authority he could then have all the muggleborns of that House signed off into unbreakable Concubine Bond Contracts and sell them off to the highest bidders. He'd have made a small fortune; and you, my dear, would now be forced through a magical binding to... provide pleasure to someone like Olaf Goyle."

When Hermione paled and started to shake a little, she quietly whispered, "Nooo."

Harry quietly said, "It would be a completely legal way for the Death Eaters to own you and all the other Gryffindor muggleborns as sex slaves, Hermione. It would then take time for the light family Seats on the Wizengamot to gather enough votes to get the law rewritten to put a stop to it. However, by then it would have been too late for you and the others, who would have also been caught in the trap.

"Part of the reasons that started your parents looking into this was to keep you safe," he firmly stated. "But, even we were worried when I told Sirius and Ted I suspected the existence of that particular loophole. Ted confirmed it, today.

"I've just never verbalised, or even written down, that suspicion because I didn't want to go giving people 'ideas'. And, because I couldn't go and do the research myself into the laws regarding magical guardianship, I had to hold off doing anything about it.

"The laws regarding this have been on the books for centuries. I was trusting in the fact that no one seemed to have even considered the possibility before now, to keep everyone safe until I could act; and have others I could trust act on my behalf."

Getting her shock and fear under control, Hermione looked to the adults and asked, "What do we need to do?"

Sirius gave a firm nod back and replied, "First, I need to become your magical guardian. Then, as your magical guardian, with it being co-signed by your father in case anyone quibbles about it, I sign the Betrothal Agreement here on your behalf―"

"I want to read it first," she cut in. "But, as long as Mum and Daddy are okay with it, I think you should at least become my magical guardian.

"While you're doing that, I'll read the Agreement. I want to know what you're all getting me into."

Ted smiled and said, "That's quite wise of you."

Half an hour later, with Sirius as her magical guardian, Harry and Hermione were betrothed.

"Now, Miss Granger," said Sirius. "As of me signing the magical guardian documents you became a daughter of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, with all the rights and responsibilities as a member of my House. My only order to you as your Lord is that you are to remember that your behaviour now reflects on me."

"Me, next," said Harry. As Hermione turned to look at him, he said, "Hermione. As you are now my betrothed, you have now become the Lady Presumptive of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Potter. As such, you are to remember at all times that your behaviour now reflects on both the Noble and Most Ancient House of Potter in general; and on me, personally."

"Wow!" she quietly said in not a little awe. "I felt that. Both times."

"Good," said Ted. "It means both the magical guardianship and the Betrothal Agreement have been accepted by magic. It's always nice to hear confirmation I've properly done my job."

Shortly after, the meeting broke up, with Ted and Sirius both heading back 'home'.

After they were gone and the remaining four were in the foyer before the front door, Hermione whirled on Harry and firmly said, "I saw that line about me getting pregnant, Harry. This Agreement does not mean you get to have sex with me."

As Wendell nearly choked on his own spit and Monica grinned at her husband's reaction, Harry immediately and seriously replied, "I wouldn't dream of it."

She was about to say he was allowed to do that and possibly add that she hoped he would, but noticed her father's reaction and wisely held her tongue.

Monica sweetly asked, "Alright there, 'Dell?"

Wendell just muttered something unintelligible and stalked up the stairs. It was quite late.

A/N:

Fans of mine know this is not something I normally do. However, through my occasional perusal of 'reviews' I've come to the conclusion I need to include a large note concerning the psychological profiles of my characters.

I'm doing this because I believe people are getting confused with keeping separate the identities of canon characters and how JKR writes them, with the 'fanon'ised characters as written by other authors (and even me in my other stories) and how the characters are portrayed in this story.

Harry

In canon he's portrayed as an alpha personality with forced beta tendencies. Such tendencies, I believe, are what was caused by his being raised by the Dursleys. An example is, he's willing to go down into the Chamber of Secrets and rescue Ginny Weasley. However, when he tries to tell Dumbledore of how he's treated by the Dursleys when Dumbledore tells him he has to go back to them, he caves. Dumbledore's alpha personality swamps his own, forcing Harry to submit and making Harry come across as meek. It is this part of canon where Harry tends to frustrate the readers and, I further believe, is a leading example of why there is so much fanfiction written where Harry stands up for himself.

In this story, he portrays being the above but, in reality, almost all of the meekness is part of the facade. Harry can stand up for himself, but faked the beta tendencies when interacting with most of Hogwarts. However, he still has a lot of problems; almost all of them psychological and related to emotion. This makes him an actual omega personality type.

Due to his upbringing his emotions have developed in a forced-repression state. He can look at thinks quite clinically, but has a lot of difficulties looking at things emotionally. That was what that talk with Wendell out on the back patio was all about, hinting at that difficulty. This has led, in some regards, to him developing a more logically driven personality. (You'll see more of it later in the story, especially relating to sex as an act.)

His 'good' behaviour regarding the adult Grangers, for example, is almost entirely due to respect developed through logic. He respects them because they've proven, through becoming surgeons and holding other important positions in society, they should be looked up to and admired for what they've accomplished and continue to accomplish. This is why he was immediately subservient to them when he arrived at the Grangers'. They deserve his respect and he willingly gives it.

Amelia Bones is another that fits in this category in Harry's mind by becoming Head of the DMLE. However she is hindered, in his eyes, by being a witch (who, as a magical, have in general shown Harry they're all daft morons). So have Ted and Andi. Sirius, however, is seen is an overgrown child doing his best to be an adult.

Hermione

I see Hermione as a beta/gamma striving hard to be an alpha. She does this by over-achieving with her 'field of battle' being academia; knowledge.

On her field of battle she's a dominant alpha, challenging all-comers to attempt to knock her off her earned pedestal. Take her away from that environment, she tends to fold like a house of cards against any challenge; except in rare situations where she loses her temper (as we all do). Prove your knowledge in an area exceeds hers, though, and she immediately backs down. For example, Harry knowing more about house elves and their bonding than she. That's the beta personality coming to the fore. She then endeavours to know even more about the subject than you, so she again becomes the alpha in that subject.
