Chapter 8 - Family Magics

It had been three days Since his talk with Hermione and Tonks and now Harry was sitting at his desk in his study in the old Black manner. "Kreacher you are to go and acquire more house elves to work in my houses and while you're at it, send letters to the families of the other girls are to be betrothed to me, and ensure they're all escorted here properly." Harry said in a way that left no argument, or a question about what was to be done.

"As you command great Lord." That was the only the response that was given by Kreacher before he apparated away to fulfill Harry's orders. As soon as Kreacher was gone, Harry simply sat there at his desk and looked at the 9 large books sitting in front of him. These books were his family grimoirs that were hidden inside the Lord rings. He now swears on his hands.

The 9 books, apart from containing all the spells that his families had learned over the years, they each contained a list of the magics that each family specialized in.

The Potters were more in line with potions-making and inventing magical remedies. The Blacks were traditional arcane power and Dark Arts. The Peverell family specialized in ancient, high-level artifact crafting and spell-work and transfiguration/enchantment and even death magic. The Gaunt family specialized in parseltongue (the rare innate ability to speak to snakes) and the dark arts and meirloom magic and potion-making and soul magic and relics. The Slytherin family specialized in the dark arts, parseltongue, and legilimency (mind-reading), alongside rare esoteric branches like wandcrafting and bloodline-based enchantments and beast-taming and breeding. The Gryffindor family went for combat-oriented magic, dueling (both wizarding and Muggle methods like swordplay), and metalworking-enhanced wizardry and associated with the element of fire. The Hufflepuff family specialized in food-related charms, culinary magic, and domestic enchantments, alongside building a legacy rooted in inclusivity, loyalty, and protection as well as broader house specializations and magical object creation. The Ravenclaw family specialized in intellectual, innovative, and academic branches of magic, with a heavy emphasis on charms, wandmaking, transfiguration, and theoretical research. Finally the Pendragon specialize in magics such as dragon magic, elemental magic, and ancient magic.

Harry spends most of the day sitting there behind his desk, reading through the 9 books, learning more magics that his families had written down and all sorts of ancient and powerful spells, as well as more modern ones, everything from simple transfiguration to more advanced and dark magics. From the books, he learns a large number of spells, mostly dark ones from the Slytherin and Gaunt along with a large number of spells in parseltongue as well as some draconic spells in the Pendragon grimoir and various forms of combat magic from the Potter and Peverell and Gryffindor along with a large number of various forms of potions, rituals and other things that will help him and increase the power of his magic. "Have you done all that I have asked, Kreacher?" Harry askes the aged house elf.

"Yes Kreacher has done as asked but Kreacher could not all those the Master is too wed as they are not all in Britain."

Kreacher says to Harry as he bows. Harry just nods and keeps reading from the 9 grimoirs floting before him as he says. "Well done Kreacher and I take it that you have made other arguments so that those not within Britain will receive the letters." As Kreacher just nods and bows before apparating away.

Harry didn't pay any mind to Kreacher apparating away as he kept reading. He just continued to read the grimoris. That's when Harry found it. A hidden spell that is mentioned in all 9 grimoris, with fragments of the spell in each of them individually not enough to recreate it. But with all 9, Harry was able to piece together.

As Harry read the fragments of the spell and pieced it together, he understood exactly what the spell was meant for and what was written in the grimoris was partially true. But because they were only working with fragments, they had not understood its full purpose. The spell send amessage to people, even if you hadn't met them yet, its purpose was to call those with a soul bomb of any type and now Harry understood how to call all of those who would become his brides to him.

His wand slid out from the holster under his right sleeve. Then he cast the spell and a pulse went out across the world following the lines of magic around the world and radiating out, being heard by a number of witches who all heard one thing 'Come to me, my brides.' And even without being told where to go, they all knew to head to Britain, but what scared some of them was that they could not tell this to anyone, except those who also heard it.

"Kreacher go ready the parler, we'll have guests soon." Harry said to the aged house elf. Kreacher apparated in front of Harry and bowed to him before apparating away to carry out the order. As Kreacher went off to carry out the order Harry remained in his study and continued to read the 9 grimoires that he had gained possession of, and in doing so allowed him to learn more, especially seeing as the grimoires from the founders contained information, such as the fact that him being the Lord of all 4 houses gives him more power over the school than the headmaster, and the so called board of governors.

Harry all so learned from this Slytherin grimoir, that because he had absorbed 3 soul fragments of Tom Riddle, he could now summon other fragments to him, and if they were used to make a horcrux Harry could summon the item or creature to him as well, and with each fragment he absorbs that would granite more power ane weight to his soul. Which would mean after Harry absorbed all the soul fragments from the horcruxes, he could absorb the remnants soul of Tom Riddle completely.
