4 In-laws?
"Nope, what we did is give you a place that you can call home," I tried to explain, "by teaching you Magic we ruined your chances of a good match. People will be weary of you until you are powerful enough to stand on your own feet. Until then we are included with everything that happens to you. If a boy wants to court you, he has five teachers watching what he is doing with their student."
Daphne added: "It is also a tradition from our world. Sometimes families give big donations to Magicians to let them accept a student, sometimes Magicians give Magic presents to families to have one of their children as a student. The value of those presents represents how high the talent is estimated by the Magician."
Luna joked: "To get to the point, we totally want you in our bed, all four of you."
Susan sighed: "Luna, there is no need to be so blunt about it. Alys, you are welcome in our bed if it is what You want, not because of what we offer your parents or social pressure. We reassured your parents that you have a future and home with us."
Lyanna spoke up: "We discussed this already, we have to await the response of our Fathers first before we hop in anyone's bed."
Hermione chuckled: "That response will be quick, until the winter is over we said, I bet Lord Stark wants us to start as fast as possible. It is not every day he gets the chance to get a free upgrade to his Castle. The five of us can do a lot in a few months."
I nodded: "Until then we need to get some more trees from the Wolfswood, I guess from the coast this time. It would be a shame if the Iron Born would cut them down."
Britta protested, "It is Winter! The ground is frozen solid, won't the trees die if we take them now?"
Luna shook her head, "Not if you have Magic. A spell to defrost the ground and a warming spell on your body is enough, you know the other spells." she stood up and sat down on my lap, "Enough about work and teaching, hubby, it is time they see your Mindscape. You know they are loyal to us, no matter what the parents decide."
I looked at the other wives, all of them nodded, Hermione said, "We will guide them in."
I leaned back on the couch and closed my eyes, I prepared my mindscape to a big field with an open tent with comfortable lounge chairs. Susan came in first to receive the girls, Lyanna was first to arrive, Susan was fast with conjuring clothes on her, one by one the other girls followed, all dressed up by Susan in pretty summer dresses.
Hermione explained: "This is our husband's most powerful skill, you are now visiting his mind with your mind using Magic. This is a world he created in his Mind, and he can shape it at will. We learned our Magic skills here, it is here where you will learn all of your Magic from now on."
I beckoned Lyanna closer, nervously she stood in front of me, I said: "It is nothing painful, this is just a sample to let you understand. Put your forehead against mine."
Lyanna slowly put her head against mine, I gave her a bunch of Druid spells, turned her around, and pointed to the forest I let appear: "Use what you have learned. Britta, you are next."
One after the other I imparted with Druid Magic and set them loose in the forest. Soon the forest changed in all kinds of shapes, the girls tried every spell they learned, Growing trees, shrinking, changing oak to ash, after I let animals appear, they controlled the animals with their minds, they felt the life force of the animals. After an hour I let it all disappear.
Lysa commented: "I never thought it was possible to know so much at such a young age. I understand now. You shared your knowledge with many people did you?"
I smiled, "You guessed it, I shared my mind and knowledge with thirty women, all of them my wives."
That started the tale of Harry Potter the World Jumper, with images I projected from the other worlds, the Potter Verse, Eragon world with its Dragons. When they saw us turn into dragons, the Eragon ones, they got speechless. Then we showed the wives we left behind and how we ended up here.
Luna said: "We did not leave that world, we split in two, a copy stayed behind and lives our lives out… or a copy went here, that is possible too."
"What it means is that we can not go back," I said, "we are here to stay and build our home in this world."
Susan added: "You saw that we could change into a dragon, in fact, we can change into two kinds of dragons, the ones from this world, and the ones from the previous world. It is a difficult branch of Magic, but we feel that you can learn it too."
Luna smiled dreamily: "Flying high into the sky, and breathing fire, or stalking your prey is awesome, the mating flight is mindblowing. It is almost as good as making love… No, Making love is the best of all, nothing can top that."
Confused, Lyanna asked: "You don't need us at all, do you? You can fly everywhere you want to, do anything you want, why did you do all of this for the North?"
I shrugged: "Because I wanted to live in the story, I want to change the story. To do that I had to show our skills and show our power. Those hundred Farmer Gates will collapse if they are not maintained properly. The Lords realize the value of those Farmer Gates, there is no way they are going to plot against us."
Daphne commented: "We could easily fly to Kings Landing and burn the King to take his place, but what then? Rule a resentful nation? That is like herding a bunch of cats, and we have to watch our backs all the time. We could have done all of that at the Harrenhall Tournament, kill the King and all the high Lords, five Dragons can do a lot of damage."
Hermione said: "We could travel the world and live our lives carelessly. But we are brought here for a reason, and that reason is to change the future of this world. To do that we need to be here."
I nodded: "To do that we need the North on our side. Creating those Farmer Gates is just a start, it cost us nothing but some Magic and time. Remodeling Winterfell will send another message, and finally what we are going to do with Moat Cailin will shut everyone up."
Lyanna asked: "Who brought you here? And what story did you need to change?"
"The Stranger brought us here, I guess the First Men did not name the Old Gods, so we were told his name is The Stranger," I answered, "We need to solve the situation behind the Wall. The Others, the White Walkers, The Night King will arise again. A strong united North is crucial. A strong Westeros too."
To tell you the truth? Perhaps it is to get those girls in my Harem, because I felt like it, because I like to play Santa, to show off? Maybe all of the above. What are the odds I will get Lyanna in my bed with her Dad's blessings if I didn't do all that stuff? Slim to none, and all it cost me is some Magic and Time. What do I care how the wives behave or do, in bed I rule, they may demand and tease and be bossy, but it is all done to give us pleasure and improve our situation, and we have a lot of that.
To be honest, getting more girls is not my priority, just a bonus, Ashara was one of my goals, to save her and to get her in my bed. Lyanna and her Handmaidens are not that special, teaching them Magic was just a spur of the moment. As to let them sleep in our Manor was one too. My objective with Lyanna was to drive a wedge between her and that prince to avoid a civil war.

We used the following days to get all the best Ironwood trees from the coastline, I explained it to Lord Stark: "Where do you think the Ironborn get their wood for their ships from? I bet there isn't one tree left on those islands, and the Wolfswood are unguarded because one of your ancestors was so smart to burn all of your ships."
Hermione added: "We are taking trees from the beaches where the iron born can get on land easily, with the added bonus that they are a big help in stabilizing the Farmer Gates."
We made wands for the girls, Ironwood and Dragon blood mixed with a dragon spike, donated by yours truly. It was not a big deal, getting a few spikes from my back was like clipping my fingernails. They worked perfectly for those girls, collecting trees went up threefold.
Ravens flew back and forth between Winterfell and the three Lords, Mollen, Overton, and Whitehall, the weather was too bad to travel, and we avoided visiting those three when we added the ironwood trees we harvested to the Farm Gates.
Lady Stark, who was a regular visitor to our Mansion, was already making plans for upgrading Winterfell, knowing it was just a matter of time to finish the deal, secretly she was happy for Lyanna, the prospect of hooking up with a Tully or Lannister, worse a Greyjoy, being in a Magic family was the better deal, even if she has to share.

News of the coronation of Rhaegar the Floppy Dragon seeped in, traveling in Winter was too dangerous so Lord Stark told them he'd pay a visit in spring. The Greyjoys told them the sea was too wild to sail out, Stannis sent Renly as his substitute, he could not be missed in this crucial time after his brother's death. Jon Arryn claimed the passes are snowed in and would visit in spring. Tywin was still mad at the Targaryens and told them he would come when he got the time, his son needed his attention. That left Rhaegar with the Martells, Tullies, and Tyrells, even though they were not eager to show up.
We did though, we stood invisible behind the Iron Throne, the moment Rhaegar got the Crown on his head and sat down, we let the swords from the backseat of the throne deflate, to match the floppy Dragon's Dick. It was quite the sight, seeing those swords have their pointy ends hanging down. With a scream, Rhaegar jumped away from the throne and ran away, Viserys got a few nudges and whispers from his supporters and sat down on the throne, the swords went even further down. And the backseat sagged down. Viserys got hurried away from the throne, they blamed it on Rhaegar still affecting the throne.
We put a compulsion charm on Elia to sit on the throne with little Aegon in her arms. The moment she sat down, the throne reformed in its old glory, even the points got a golden hue, the armrests, and seat got a royal red padding, and in the distance, you could hear Dragons roar. I know, very dramatic, it made an impact tough, suddenly Elia got the full support of the King's Guard, they went down on their knee and swore loyalty to Prince Aegon and Regent Elia, followed by her brother Doran Martell, Hoster Tully and Mace Tyrell. That removed the fangs from Rhaegar.
Elia made quick work of her opposition: "High Septon! I hope you don't oppose the Signs the Father gave to us. We did not ask for this! My husband Prince Rhaegar and Brother-in-law Viserys got their chance and the Father rejected them. Soon we will visit the Great Sept of Baelor, Aegon's ancestor, to give our prayers to the Seven."
She smiled at Rhaella: "Mother-in-law, I love you very much, but the vultures that are circling Rhaegar and Viserys need to learn a lesson, take Viserys and Rhaegar to Dragonstone, Doran will post a garrison of his troops there to defend the keep."
She turned to Rhaegar's bootlickers, "Jon Connington, Myles Mooton, and Richard Lonmouth. You are to return to your Castles, if one of you attempts to contact My husband Prince Rhaegar, it will cost you your lands and titles."
Elia looked at Arthur Dayne; "Ser Dayne, this is the second time your sister is saving your skin, you have a choice, pledge your loyalty to my son or return Dawn to your Father and take The Black. Those are your only options."
Dayne was conflicted, yes, he was a sword swallower and was in love with his Prince, when he heard his sister say, "Bend the knee, brother, before you Degrace our house even more." he caved in and swore loyalty to Aegon and Regent Elia.
Elia said to Mace Tyrell, "Lord Tyrell, ask your Mother if she is willing to be the mistress of whisperers, we sourly need her advice."
"Grand Maester Pycelle, Notify the Citadel to send another Grand Maester, one that won't poison us." She glared at him and continued, "Tell them the killing of gifted children stops now or We will do the killing. Get out of my sight! Guards, once he sent that raven, set him on a ship to Old Town, he can not take anything with him, we will investigate his chambers later."
"Lord Qarlton, you are to present your books to Lady Ashara for inspection. If Lady Ashara finds them in order you can keep your position." Elia looked him in the eye, and said, "Do not take her for a fool, Lord Qarlton, she knows her numbers and is well taught about the high mathematics."
"Janos Slynt! Rumors of corruption and abuse of power by the City Watch are common knowledge in Kings Landing. You have one month to correct that behavior or you all can take the Black. Do I make myself clear?"
Elia's voice sounded loud through the Hall, it might have been caused by a sonorous from Daphne, she is sneaky that way. Those were the worst problems Elia handled on that day.
Hermione followed Ashara to the Master of Coin's office to audit the books, four hours later Ashara said: "I must compliment you Lord Qarlton, your books are in order, Regent Elia will be pleased to hear it, the minor donations to you I shall regard as a normal procedure for your station."
Good one Ashara! Tell him he is ok, but you noticed the bribes, if he keeps it low he may continue, he doesn't know the amount that will get him arrested, so he will keep it low. Finding an honest man who is holding the purse is almost impossible, so an almost honest man will do.
In one sweep, Elia dealt with the opposition. Rhaegar and Viserys went to Dragonstone with their Mother, Janos Slynt felt the heat and got his men back in line. Pycelle got to Old Town and informed the Council. We marked Pycelle with a tracker and listening charm. We let him spill the beans for a while, then we will move in.

Soon the rumor that Princess Elia became the Regent of Westeros for her son Aegon spread through Westeros, Jon Arryn was appointed as the Hand of the King as a peace offering, he fostered a Stark and a Baratheon, so he had influence in both Houses.
Regent Elia proposed a marriage between House Tully and Lannister, Cercei will be a fine Trout in the Riverlands.
Elia promised Tywin that if there was a suitable match, her Aegon might marry a Lannister in the future. The same promise was made to Tyrell IF there was a suitable match.
Ashara kept her position as Handmaiden of Elia, and as an unofficial advisor, Elia suspected our influence after she got detoxed and Ashara's brother's sword was repaired by Daphne in one hour. Rhaegar's condition was suspicious too if you knew all the facts, once he was determent to get his Ice queen, he got one misfortune after the other.
Ashara's intelligence and knowledge of the high Mathematics was another Clue, Elia did not ask and Ashara did not tell, but both knew the other one knew. Elia accepted the advice from Ashara without questioning from where she got it and both benefited from it. Elia with good advice and Ashara with some fabulous shags from us.

In the meantime, The parents came to an agreement. We could have their daughters on our conditions and the promise that their daughters will be able to renovate their Keep within ten years. That started a new teaching session in my Mindscape. Transfiguration, Conjuration, and Transmutation were the three branches of Magic I imprinted in their minds, we spent hours in my Mindscape to show them the possibilities and dangers of the spells.
Changing stone to sand is easy, walls can't keep us out, we showed them how we changed rock into water, a taxing spell, but the results are impressive. Changing clay or sand to stone was easily done after we taught them Geology and the different kinds of stone. Shaping the stone to what we need is another lesson, clay is shaped into form, and turned into Porcelain… Tadaa! There is your first toilet bowl!
The girls abandoned the shitter and focused on cutlery, dinner plates, drinking cups, soup bowls, after a few tries they managed drinking glasses, even Crystal ones. Those are the things girls gather in their bridal chest. Knowing they can create it from dirt, it will be a moneymaker for their house if they want to find a husband.
Yes, I took them in, but I will never demand them into my bed… unless they get in my bed of their free will. Then I will shag their brains out. For now, those girls were focusing on their Magic, and we did not finish the Bridal gifts to the parents.
Winterfell was located on a crossing of Leylines and a hot spot with thermal activity. Meaning the keep has hot water available. Susan and Luna took care of the outer walls, repairing and warding them from damage and bad intentions. An auto repair will maintain the shape for centuries. Hermione and Daphne did the same with the buildings. Repair first, change some of the lower quality stone to a better one, an auto repair, Fireproof, and all kinds of wards to keep the nasties out, bugs, rodents, enemies…
I did the plumbing and inner works, tubes that transport hot water through the floor and walls, yep, central heating made its entrance again in Winterfell. We noticed that they had it centuries ago, but the pipes got clogged and some parts broke down due to some Lords that built some extra buildings and damaged the pipes in the process.
Once I got everything back in order, I enchanted it with the usual spells, fireproof, unbreakable, and auto repair being the main ones. Next were the bathrooms, a tub and shower, a life-size mirror, and a sink in all the bathrooms, each major bedroom had one. Every bedroom got warded with silencing spells, some one-way spells, some others two ways depending on what noise they need to hear and others don't need to hear.
The barracks and stables got a major overhaul, as did the courtyard. The storage buildings got stasis spells that activated when the doors were closed and no human or animal was in the building. That will keep food from spoiling.
Alanna and the girls went to a riverbank and loaded a cart full of clay, in a workshop, they started with making templates for a dinner plate, a soup bowl, drinking cups, and decorated them with all kinds of motives, a Direwolf head, winter rose motives, all kinds of small decorations that increased the value.
Then they made molds of the templates and used them to make exact copies of the templates, a color-changing spell, colored the winter roses blue and the Direwolves from white to black. After that, they hardened the plates, bowls, and cups and spelled unbreakable and auto repair on them. The guards and servants got a simpler model, with the sigil of the Starks Direwolf on the edges.
Another visit to my Mindscape taught them the different kinds of metal and its alloys, all the kinds of iron you can create with the right components, and how to shape them to their will.
That got some fancy knives and forks, soup spoons for the tables, pots and pans, kettles, waffle irons, for the kitchens, the girls even tried their hands on training swords. Real swords are still out of their range, due to the complicated alloy and enchants. The tools for the servants were next, cleaning tools, buckets barrels, tools for leather working, tailoring, weaving looms, Lady Stark was in seventh heaven, especially when she witnessed Lyanna creating cutlery that would cost a fortune if she would order it made somewhere else. Forks and spoons in stainless steel, knives in an alloy that is hard and yet flexible and spelled to stay sharp.
When spring was in the air, we presented the Stark boys their armor, not the from-head-to-toe armor from the Knights, we opted for the armor of the First Men and spelled the crap out of it. As long they don't tie a stone on their feet and jump into the ocean or don't jump into a volcano, they will survive. We didn't tell them all the features of the armor, they would get cocky and try it out. The weapons were a tad better than Valyrian Steel and better enchanted too.

Four new Farmer Gates were installed at Wintertown, then we moved to the In-laws. Britta's Father, Lord Mollen, was pleased with the new Armor and weapons for his oldest son, when we installed two Farmer Gates next to the first one, he knew he made the right decision.
He took Britta aside: "Britta, if you want to hear my advice, here it is: stick with them, you will never find a better match. What those five can do is unheard of. Even when you can do the same, if you are alone, you will be vulnerable and easily exploited by opportunists."
He stroked her cheeks and continued, "I am proud of you, Britta, Lord and Lady Stark kept us informed of your progress. You and your children will have a bright future. Whatever you want to do, you have our blessing, Daughter."
The same happened with the other in-laws, once they saw the armor and weapons and Two Farmer Gates, expanding their farmland with a hundred square miles of frost-free land, they knew they struck gold.
When the last Gate was installed and the last weapon handed out, that night my bed got four extra occupants. Lyanna, Britta, Alys, and Lysa had a heart-to-heart conversation, rumors already circled that they were sleeping with the Magicians, they might as well make it true. If what they spied on was as good as it looked, they would be happy campers.
A spell to remove the hymen, and with some extra Magic, they were brought to new heights that night. My magic enhanced all their pleasure receptors and made their nerve ends extra sensitive, it did not take long for them to pass out after an orgasm that lasted for a few minutes… ok, I overdid it a bit, but it was to make their first time unforgettable. A pepper-up potion restored them back to normal and prepared them for the second round.
This time the wives helped out, for this to have a chance to work, they have to accept some Yuri action. They knew what happened in our bedroom and were prepared for it. Getting worked over from all sides got them over the top real fast, soon they were helping along. There are no secrets among those four, often they masturbated together at the sounds of our lovemaking. Yes, we did spy on them too.
Pervert you say? Probably, who cares, they are in my Mansion and often spied on us, so turnabout is fair play. It spices our nights up, Luna especially was into that, dropping hints and teasing the girls all winter was her kind of fun. She was in heaven when the four girls teamed up and worked Luna over.
The next night, we introduced them to Ashara. I took them along in my apartment trunk, my Manor trunk had to stay in Winterfell, and portkeyd to Ashara's room. Lyanna was the first to snap out of it, after the first hugs and greetings, she asked: "How long have you been with Harry, Ashara? Since Harrenhall?"
Ashara nodded, "Two nights before we departed and I am not regretting it for one minute. Harry and his wives have accepted me as one of them. They told me you were about to join, you being here tells me you did?"
Lyanna nodded: "We finally did, we also know now where they went to on some of the nights. So… Sister wife?"
Ashara shook her head: "Not yet, the land is still unstable. Princess Elia's rule is not settled yet, there is opposition from Rhaegar's and Viserys' supporters, Tywin is an uncertain factor, so are the Greyjoys. If word got out I colluded with the North, even when the Starks had nothing to do with it, that would trigger a civil war."
Lyanna thought for a bit and said: "We can work with that, news will circle that Father married the four of us to Harry. When they find out what they got in return, You can convince Princess Elia to match you to Harry for a political alliance. Your father will approve when he hears what my parents received."
Daphne commented: "That is true, it was something we could not offer without sowing doubts in your mind, Ashara, we do want you to be our sister, and it will benefit Westeros." she held her hand up and warned, "But not this year, if we move too fast, the Septons will suspect that we had a hand in Elia's move at the Iron Throne and stir up trouble."
With a snap of my fingers, everyone got naked, I grinned, "In the meantime, we will work on our relations, don't you agree?"
5 We can do better!... We think.
Ashara slowly faced me, "That was what I was planning, that is what I am craving for, but as you said, I have to work on our relations," she turned to Lyanna, guided her to the bed, and said, "Let me taste your pussy. Your husband can watch."
Giggling, Lyanna spread her legs and said: "I always thought politics was boring, Britta, Lysa, Alys, let Dorne feel what the North has to offer. Ashara, I bet we will be mutually satisfied."
Huh? What about me? Ah! Eight hands caressed my body, I can work with that, with nine girls there are always some that are focusing on me.
Lyanna called out, "By the Gods! This feels good! Luna! Come here so I can practice it on you. Hermione, Susan! Come closer… this.. this… Gods! I love Dorne!"
I grabbed Daphne and pushed her onto the bed: "Nope, you are mine, Lyanna is too greedy, I need a pussy too."
Daphne moaned when she felt Little Harry enter her snatch: "You own my pussy, Harry, it is all yours. Let the girls feel what I am feeling."
Yeah, that is a new trick I worked on, I linked our minds together and let everyone feel what one of them was feeling on top of what they were doing themselves. That was something I could only do in my Mindscape, now it is possible in the outside world.
An hour later the girls are a shivering mess, Alys sighed: "Nothing can top this, Magic, a Luxurious home, eight fantastic sister wives, and a husband that can satisfy us all with mindblowing sex time after time."
Daphne smiled: "Oh, don't say that too soon, Alys, Harry still has some tricks he didn't show yet. He is full of surprises."
Ashara cuddled closer to Daphne and commented: "I can't wait for those tricks. Now back to reality, what are your plans for the following months?"
Susan answered: "Moat Cailin, a whole Castle to build up again, Harry plans to dig a channel from the East Coast to the West Coast. That will keep us busy I am sure."
That is the plan anyway, that channel appeared a lot in Fan Fiction bout this world, it is strategically important to open the West Coast for trade, and it will give Moat Cailin a lot of tax revenue for using the channel.
I added: "The Iron Born will use this political unrest to invade. My bet is on the Riverlands, they held it before and want to get it back. The Riverlands are the most divided too, some are loyal to Rhaegar, some to Viserys, and most are loyal to Elia. There are who want to be independent or want the Tullies gone."
Daphne said: "Elia proposing a marriage between the Westerland and the Riverlands will stabilize it. She can get Tywin's loyalty when she can offer to let us heal Jaime Lannister, once Ashara is married to us next year."
"The Farmer Gates still need a lot of work." mentioned Hermione, "I am also working on a detection system to alert us when ships land on the West Coast. That will let us catch the Iron Born red-handed."
Ashara stretched out, showing her nice body off, she said, "I am warding the Red Keep against bad intentions to Princess Elia and Prince Aegon. As you taught me, it will start slow, and over the course of two months they will accept her ruling without protesting."
"Keep it within reason, people that hate Elia suddenly wanting to worship her will rouse suspicion, and the Septons will cry bloody murder." I warned her, "It is better to be subtle about it, let them feel positive emotions in the Red Keep, ward kitchens and storehouses against pests and rodents, ward Elia's and Aegon's quarters heavily against bad intentions, that will keep her safe. You can do the rest of the Keep at the bare minimum. It is important that people don't notice that Magic is being used here."

Word about Lyanna's bonding to us with her Handmaidens spread out like wildfire in the North, the bridal price we paid made them jealous. Weapons that are of better quality than the Valyrians, self-repairing armor that can withstand the heaviest blows, two extra Farmer Gates, it made them wish it was their daughter who got bonded.
When the Lords of the Riverlands and the Reach heard about the Farmer Gates, they got worried, a lot of their trade depended on the North, if those Gates could produce food even in the harshest winters then they were in trouble.
Before we moved to Moat Cailin, we did a tour around the Farmer Gates and visited the local Maester, a Legilimence probe revealed if they were killing Magic children or letting them be. We slave-collared the Maesters who were poisoning children and informed the Lord what we had done.
"It is no use killing these Maesters," I explained to the Lords, "they will send others that will do the same. Three-quarters of the Maesters are Andals and fanatically against Magic other than their own. With this Slave Collar, they will pay for their crimes by serving here for the rest of their lives. They will put The North and your best interest first and keep your secrets."
Two weeks later, almost every Maester got a slave collar around his neck, the collar forced them to speak the truth to their Lord, the killing of the Magical children was exposed, and the attempts to spy on the Farmer Gates. We warded the Gates against them, they would never get a look inside anyway.

One night, five shady figures appeared in Pycelle's bedroom. Pycelle and his whore got stunned, and the five wandered through the Citadel, searching for hidden rooms and passages, we found those candles that give visions and a batch of eggs ten of them. Some books about Magic and Dragons found their way into their bags. Then the five figures put wardstones around the citadel. When they left, the flames came out of the roof and windows. Most of the students survived the fire, woken by the sounds of… if they were from Earth, they would recognize the sound of a firetruck.
It was strange that only the Citadel was destroyed, and not one house next to it.

Hermione, Luna, and Britta are managing the Farmer Gates, mostly adding water and trees to the Gates, and teaching the locals how to make the most of the Gates without abusing the balance. Hermione set the wards up at the coast against tree poachers, Britta collected trees, and Hermione traveled the Coastline on her broom, she still doesn't like brooms though, even after flying in the air as a Dragon, she never got over her fear of falling from her broom. Therefore she was flying two feet above the sea, following the coastline. It took a week to set the alert beacons up, but once it was done, nobody could rob as much as a twig from the Wolfswood without us knowing about it.
Soon they got the company of children, the Maesters were ordered to point Magical children out to us, Hermione and Britta took them along to collect trees, while Luna taught them the Druid Magic. Only Bear Island could provide four Magical children older than eight years, that was the age Magic began to show, Dacey and Alysane Mormont were two of them, both eager to learn Magic from us.

We moved to Moat Cailin, the first day Lord Stark came along to inform the Garrison that was stationed there. A puny hundred men to defend the border is justified by the swamps of the Neck and the Crannog men living in it, they are the first line of defense, only the Kings Road can be considered safe to travel, it made a nice bottleneck.
We divided the tasks, Susan raised temporary quarters for the Garrison, meaning a small Farmer Gate with grassland for their horses and some Wizarding tents. Then Susan, with Alys and Lysa started on raising the Curtain walls around the Moat, a basalt wall, as high and wide as the walls around Winterfell, while doing so they were reinforcing the foundations to make them last for centuries.
The rest of us cleared the space inside, we demolished all the towers and ruins inside of the walls and started fresh, bad foundations were the cause of the destruction of the previous towers, we dug deep down until we hit bedrock and started to build up from there. Permanent transfiguration made dirt into granite, it took a lot of Magic, but it was good for training. It took months to build the castle back to its former glory. We got into a routine, five days of work, one day to visit friends and relatives, and one day to have fun and hobbies.
Travelers that moved North or South on the King's Road watched Moat Cailin rise, bigger and stronger than before, and spread the rumors about it through the land. Lyanna took an interest in commerce and built an inn next to the King's Road, she hired stewards and barmaids to manage it. It was a good move, we became a major attraction and business was booming.
The Soldiers were reluctant to move into their new barracks outside of the North Gate, the small Farmer Gate they were using was better for them they argued, with five square miles inside, there was enough room for a garrison of four hundred men and their retinue, it was better for the horses too, free of parasites and bugs, they were healthy and in prime condition. We compromised by installing the Gate next to the Barracks… spoiled brats.
One concession we had to give Lord Stark was that the Garrison was commanded by one of his men and the soldiers were from his army. We walled their section off so they had free access to their barracks from the outside without compromising our security.

We made a deal with Wyman Manderly, from time to time one of his ships has to travel to Kings Landing and give free passage to small folks that want to emigrate to Moat Cailin. A set of swords for his two sons was the payment. Ashara spread the rumor in Flea Bottom that the Wizard of the North is hiring. We set a small harbor at the sea to dock the ships with settlers and raised a lighthouse next to it.
Every month a ship delivered a hundred settlers, we had enough for them to do, our Manor trunks needed to be farmed. Too bad the farm animals were in high demand, every Lord needed them for their gate.
At one of our visits to Ashara I gave her a letter, "Send this letter to Pentos, it is addressed to Illyrio Mopatis. We use this as a beacon to portkey too. He is the one plotting to set a Blackfyre on the iron throne. After we take care of him we will move to the Dothraki. They have plenty of horses and sheep, so we can use those."
Meh, they are raiding others, so we will raid them, maybe free some of the slaves, you know, to justify our actions. A lot of Fan fiction was about those screaming madmen and how they were terrorizing the surrounding lands. Me? I resented Drogo for tapping that fine pussy, Daenerys was looking bloody gorgeous on that TV show, and I was kind of jealous.
Once I felt the beacon activate, I portkeyd to Mopatis. He was reading the letter I wrote in his office when we arrived in front of him. Daphne, Susan, and Luna were with me, they silenced the room and sealed the door. I disarmed the man and read his memories, he was a nasty piece of work so I had no problem robbing him blind.
I divided our tasks: "Daphne, Susan, get the location of his warehouses and safe houses out of his mind. I will take care of the guards, Luna, gather all the females in this Mansion, they are all slaves, offer them a home and work in Moat Cailin the rest can go their own way."
Four hours later we left Pentos, Mopatis was a drooling husk, we got three more Dragon eggs, his warehouses empty, and his slaves were in our Manor trunk. At night, out of the city, we finally turned into our Eragon dragon animagus, Luna saddled me and had the trunk shrunk hanging on her neck. We rose high into the sky and searched the lands, Luna had her binoculars spelled with infra-red detection, soon we spotted our first target. A Kallisar of a few thousand people. We landed downwind and made our preparations.
We set our Manor Trunk to face the herds, and raised fences left and right to guide them in our trunk. Invisible, silenced, and with our smell removed, we put the guards and shepherds to sleep, we warded the camp off from the animals with notice-me-nots and calming and sleeping charms for the guard dogs, then we started to drive the animals into our trunk with compulsion charms on the lead animals, the rest followed just fine, we got them all, horses, sheep, and goats.
A legilimence probe on one of the Guards showed us who the slaves were and where they were being held. I took the trunk after the wives went in it and sneaked into the slave pen, wards on the corner, and sleeping spells on the guards were enough to wake the slaves up and order them to go in the trunk if they wanted to be free.
That started a series of night raids on the Dothraki we did ten of them before they wised up. We just traveled deeper inland where they had not heard of us yet and continued. When we are discovered, Daphne and Susan change into their animagus and toast the ones that wanted a fight.
Lyanna did good business selling the horses and livestock to the Lords. They were not suitable for the North, but perfect for the Farmer Gates Moat Cailin got populated fast, a lot of Third sons and daughters from the North came to us for a job, and Lyanna distributed the slaves that wanted a new life among the Lords to work in the Farmer Gates, life in the North was to harsh for them to let them live outside.
Xxxxx
At the end of the year, the Farmer Gates was mostly stabilized, Moat Cailin was finished, it only needed some more furniture, it was fully staffed and ready to receive the first official guests. Lord Stark was the first to visit with his two eldest sons and a delegation of his high Lords, Manderly, Umber, Karstark, Bolton, Dustin, Hornwood, Glover, Ryswell, and the In-Laws.
We did the grand tour of the keep, guest houses, barracks, and the Mage Center. Ah, yes, the Mage Center… a building stuffed full of kids, all Wargs, Greenseers, and apprentice Magicians, fostered by us seventy-eight of them. Dacey and Alyssa Mormont roomed in our building as high-borns.
After the feast in the Dining hall, we gathered in our conference hall, while Lyanna and her girls entertained the Ladies.
Stark commented: "You made Moat Cailin into an impressive building, Lord Potter. My Garrison is kept outside to keep it impartial and yet protected by your walls is a good move. We noticed the formation of a settlement outside, all together you did a great service to the North. The question now is, What are you planning next?"
Daphne stood up and raised a screen, she projected the images of the channel and harbor. "This will be our next project, A Channel between the Seas, and a big harbor here at Moat Cailin." explained Daphne, "We connect the river Fever to the East coast, deepen it out, and make it suitable to travel between the Seas. Horses will pull the ships through the channel, sailing will be impossible in it, and most ships don't have oars."
Lord Glover was all for it: "That will open the East Coast up for trade, we have to pass no longer the Iron born or pay taxes to the Westerlands or the Reach. That will be a boon for our economy. We will be grateful if you manage to do that, Lord Potter. Although I am already in your debt with the warning system Lady Hermione installed in our keep. We have up to now captured fourteen ships from the Iron born when they tried to steal our lumber or tried to capture our women."
Hermione projected a shipyard and some ship models on the screen. "We also plan a shipyard and new models, faster, bigger, and more comfortable."
I commented, "Most of all, I plan to make connections with the South and offer my services to Regent Elia Martel. That is crucial in my opinion to avoid problems with the six other countries. We are already making too many waves."
Luna added: "Our actions made it so that the North is not depending on the Reach and Riverlands for food anymore. That will make a big dent in their budget. With the horses and sheep we sold to you, it is enough for you to become self-sufficient. We have methods to improve production, we have new ways to farm, work metal, build roads, we can even make tools that can transport people through the air. Although that last will be years from now."
Susan commented: "We have to be careful with what we will reveal to this world, some of it will be devastating for the world."
Bolton commented: "I am not comfortable that a bunch of children are telling us what to do and how we should handle our life."
I shrugged: "I bet you won't, you are even not following Lord Stark's laws. For example, you are still demanding First Night of your small folks, and you are still flaying people in a hidden dungeon of your keep. In fact, you are keeping two prisoners there at the moment, two that denied your First Night."
I looked into Bolton's eyes, "We may be kids, Lord Bolton, but we are ten times smarter than you and a hundred times more powerful. And your way of life sucks."
Lord Stark asked: "Is that true, Roose? Are you still flaying small folk? Demanding First Nights?"
Bolton shrugged: "These kids are trying to sow discord between us, the flaying stopped before my grandfather was born. I only participated on the First Night when it was offered. They got two dragons as a wedding gift. Is that a crime?"
I grinned: "So if I take these fine Lords to Dreadfort and show them your dungeon, there are no prisoners or human skins in it? Lord Stark? We can settle this in ten minutes if you want. If I am wrong then Bolton can have this keep. What do you say, Roose?"
Lord Umber commented: "I would take that offer, Roose, if you have nothing to hide, you can have a brand-new keep today."
Susan said: "We found out when one of the slaves we freed from the Dothraki reported it to us two weeks ago; two of his friends married and refused first night to Lord Bolton, three nights later they disappeared, we investigated it, their bodies hang on hooks in his dungeon. We did not make all that effort to free slaves for you to flay them, Bolton."
Luna put a piece of rope on the table, "If you want to see if we spoke the truth, grab this rope, in twenty seconds it will transport you to Bolton's dungeon."
Brandon, Eddard, Glover, Umber, Karstark, and Ryswell were the first to grab the rope, Stark was next, then I grabbed it. A few seconds later we stood in Bolton's dungeon, facing a man and woman without a shred of skin hanging on hooks.
I commented: "You must have surprised him when you asked him to accompany you to us, Lord Umber and Karstark and did not give him time to clean up his mess. To prove this is Dreadfort, come upstairs with me."
After vanishing the door, we went up the stairs and entered the solar of Bolton's Dreadfort. Looking out the window they saw the keep. "Is this proof enough? Why don't you look at his papers and see who he has been in contact with."
Brandon found a drawer with a false bottom containing letters from Hoster Tully and Tywin Lannister about the Farmer Gates, with offers to buy one or to abduct one of its creators. Lord Ryswell was fuming, he married his daughter to this monster!
"Ricard! I want Bolton gone! My Bethany just bared Domeric, the gods only know what Roose did with his first wife! Now he is going to drag her down with him with his treason, I want justice done." raged Lord Ryswell.
I commented: "According to our investigation, Lady Bolton is not aware of her husband's actions, my guess is that his first wife found out about it."
A few weeks ago we located that Miller's daughter with Ramsey, the poor kid caught a cold. Cruel you say? Probably, if I leave him alive then Domeric will get poisoned and Ramsey will hunt dozens of girls with his dogs. He is one crazy bastard after all. Reek? He took a nasty fall when he was up the outer wall and leaned over the edge, he slipped and fell down... A tragedy.
We returned to Moat Cailin, Bolton didn't move an inch, a sticking charm I guess. Lord Stark shook his head at Bolton, "Poor man, you must be sick in your head to skin some small folk for pleasure. I can not let that pass, Roose, that and the letters we found in your solar sealed your fate."
Lord Ryswell raged: "It is my greatest shame that I allowed myself to be persuaded to marry my Bethany to you, Bolton! You will pay! One way or the other. Lord Potter? I bet you have a fitting punishment?"
I nodded, "I have some to choose from. We can change him into an animal, I can let him feel what it is like to be skinned alive, we can curse him to be a statue with his mind aware of his surroundings, or we can just cut his head off and get it over with. But Lord Stark is the Warden of the North, he will decide."
Lord Stark sighed: "Can you put him in a cell, Lord Potter we will be taking him to Winterfell for his trial."
I removed every weapon from Bolton and turned him into a small puppet. I put it in a box, gave it to Lord Stark, and told him to ask Lyanna to undo the spell. Lord Stark looked slack-jawed at the box, how is this possible? Well, he is not my problem anymore.
Xxxxx
Bethany was appointed as regent for Domeric, we were asked to seal the dungeon completely and remove all evidence of the Flaying. She changed the coat of arms to a red-maned horse head on a gold field with a white border, the opposite colors from House Ryswell. All evidence of flaying was burned, flags, paintings, coats of arms on clothes, every single piece. New seals were made even the house motto was changed: "We survive nightmares."
With that pain in the ass gone, if there was any opposition, it was silenced now. At the trial of Bolton, we decided that it was time to reveal our animagus, we chose to show the one from the previous world, to differentiate ourselves from the Targaryen dragons.
We explored the crypts under Winterfell but found nothing special, it was a big network of hallways, I found it a safety hazard, many of those corridors were outside the wall. Under siege, the enemy just had to dig a hole and they could move inside. There was not a trace of a dragon egg, picturing a dragon going inside the Crypt to lay her eggs is ridiculous.
Anyway, when Bolton's head rolled on the floor, I announced: "Lords of the North! We have to reveal one more of our Secrets! We already let it known that we can turn humans into animals, our Magic can do more! We can turn ourselves into a dragon! Not the Wyverns from this World, but Mythical ones! Watch!"
On my sign, Hermione, Susan, Daphne, and Luna turned into their dragon animagus, I was ready to repel all attacks. My voice boomed through the courtyard: "The Old Gods and the New called us here on this world for a task. Helping the North survive its winters is a part of it. Destroying the Night King is another. You can help, but not get in our way."
6 Magic, the Wizarding kind.
Surprised, Maege Mormont shouted: "You are Skinchangers? We only have legends of those!"
One by one the girls changed back, Daphne answered: "Where we came from, the Magic users all have an inner animal that closely represents their character. Once we are in love, that inner animal can change into that of our loved one. Our inner animal changed into our husband's dragon, then we performed a ritual that bound our dragon form to our bloodline so that our children will have an inner dragon too."
Luna took over, "This Magic transformation is very hard to learn and is complicated to teach, but you can guess the possibilities. The people of the North have inner animals too, we tested the Magical children, all of them have an inner animal, from a mouse to the Dire Wolf from Lady Lyanna. Dacey Mormont has a Seagull and Alysane Mormont is a bear. But all of them are weak."
I commented, "We call that selective breeding, the Maesters killed the children with a lot of Magic so that only the ones with feeble Magic breed through, that way Magic will fade away in time." I looked around and continued, "The Maesters are responsible for keeping Westeros ignorant. The world we came from had this level of civilization a thousand years ago, now they have metal ships that travel the oceans that are a quarter mile long and 180 feet wide. Our world has invented devices that can fly through the sky and transport hundreds of people across the world."
Susan nailed it down with: "And here you are still swinging swords around for longer than 8000 years."
Hermione explained: "A Deity from our world made an agreement with one of this world to let us travel here and fix this situation. This is the fourth World our Husband is visiting, to us it is the second World. What we did with the Maesters is just the start."
Yeah, we better not tell them we kicked their Royals out of the Red Keep and tweaked some trouble spots. If they find out that we got the King and the Whoremonger into an early grave, or crippled Jaime Lannister or Rhaegar, then they won't listen to us anymore. They can suspect all they want but can not prove it.
We do that in our world too, we know our politicians are corrupt and are held on a leash by the multinationals, but we don't do anything about it because the Multinationals will just put their leash on another politician and it will be business as usual. Honest politicians don't have the money to promote themselves, and once they accept money for their campaign, they have to sing the tunes of their sponsors. Cynical? Meh, prove me wrong if you can.
Lord Stark recuperated from the shock of seeing four stunning, gorgeous, Super World Class beautiful girls change into mighty impressive Dragons. He asked, "What are your plans for the North and Westeros, Lord Potter? Five Dragons can do a lot of damage, it can even win you a Kingdom."
I shrugged, "We did not come here to invade or rule. We came here to correct some wrongs and to educate the people. The Maesters hoarded the knowledge of science, Magic, and Nature for far too long. We will train your Magic children and correct the corrupted Magic in this world."
I looked him in the eye and continued: "We are starting with the North because the North is the most accepting of our Magic, but our teaching won't stop at Magic. We have knowledge of Forging, Mining, and Metalworks. New ways of farming and processing the harvest, animal care, and breeding are some of the things we are going to teach. We made a start with the Farm Gates and the people that are managing it, we will expand it from there."
Xxxxx
Lord Stark took his Lords into the Great Hall to discuss this new development, Lady Stark took the wives and my girls to another Hall to bond, I was left alone in the courtyard next to Bolton's corps… Meh, fuck the Skinner, he got off lightly.
I strolled to the blacksmith and watched him work on a new sword, I stopped him and explained how to forge a Damascus blade, it was not as good as a Valyrian one, but a multitude better than a normal one. That will be enough to prove our knowledge and science. The Blacksmith of the Starks is a Master, otherwise, he would not have that job. He saw the possibilities and the logic of my explanation and tried it out with his apprentices.
Dad-in-law and his Banners came to a decision, "Lord Potter… Good Son, we give you two years to prove your methods and teaching will improve the North. Most of us fear that those changes will disturb the balance and cause civil wars or small folks to rise against their Nobles."
Hermione objected: "That is not enough! To prove it we would have to introduce improvements that show our ways are faster, but doing so will break the balance. We need at least ten years to slowly improve the North."
Lord Umber shook his head, "No, lass, two years are even too long, we can not risk our lives and that of our Small Folks on your words alone. Those two years you got for the Farmer Gates you donated to us. The ways of your worlds could not work for ours, two years is already taking a big risk for us."
A lot of the Lords voiced their agreement on that statement, most of them were the smaller Lords that had too much to lose if this experiment went wrong. We can't blame them, several famines that decimated the population are still fresh in their memories.
We looked at each other, I shrugged, finally, Daphne suggested: "We will prove our methods in the Farmer Gates, that way your lands will not be affected by us. Give us five years time, during those five years you can pick the improvements you deem valuable for your people."
Xxxxx
That night in bed we entered my Mindscape and discussed our future plans, I asked, "What are we going to introduce in this world and how far are we going to push it? We have five years to do so."
Hermione said, "The current civilization is between the years 1000 and 1300 from our world, depending on the region. The Maesters have limited the development of science, we can start from there."
Susan shook her head, "No, Hermione, we should start with the modernization of agriculture, improve the farming tools to free the people to do other tasks. It is of no use to teach Small Folks to read and write when they still have to till the earth by hand."
Luna nodded, "Susan is right, Hermione, we are short of teachers anyway, and letting the Maesters teach is going to backfire on us, even when they have a Slave Collar."
"Improving farmer tools will show the fastest results," pointed Alys out, "increasing the harvest and reducing the workforce will show the Nobles that it will be to their advantage. The memories Harry showed us of your world will give us enough options to choose from."
Hermione caved in, "You are right, I wanted to move too far ahead. So, methods to plow, sow, and harvest faster, and ways to increase and feed livestock."
The old guy grew up in the countryside next to an old farmer. That farmer still worked with a horse before he bought his first tractor, from those memories I projected the tools in my Mindscape. A plow with a double blade, a harrow, a seeder that plants the seeds, and several devices that are used to harvest the crops. A mower to replace the scythes, and a device that replaced the rakes to till the hay for drying.
Lyanna commented, "Our blacksmiths are not capable of making those, Harry. Those wheels and gears are too complicated to forge. You have to simplify it to make it work."
Britta added, "We lack the quality iron for it too, we need an Iron mine and a Coal mine close together and make a blast furnace with a Cokes plant to get that quality iron we need to start with. That alone will cost us a year to set up. Transporting the iron is another problem."
Daphne said: "We only have five years, so we need to make some short-cuts, the mountain range at Long Lake has Iron and Coal close together, we can place a small Farmer Gate there to lodge the workers and provide food, one like we set for the Garrison here at Moat Cailin. We can process the iron into tools there and distribute them by Magic."
I sighed, "That will still take too long, we will create the first ones with Magic, while we set the mines and town up. Lyanna, ask your father if there are some smart second or third sons from his Banners willing to learn metallurgy from us to manage Iron Town."
Lysa straddled me and smothered my face between her boobs, "Poor husband, his in-laws are taking advantage of his goodwill, we have to reward him for it. Shall we stop this meeting and reward him in the real world? Husband? Do you fancy a good blow job from your wives? Alys and I learned something new from that Kama Sutra book and want to try it out."
Luna cheered, "She has my vote! Harry, Hermione, and I have practiced something new too."
In the following hours, we added some new pages to the Kama Sutra Book, the use of Magic gave a few new chapters to the book.
Xxxxx
Hermione, Lysa, and Britta handled the mines and set up the factories, I did the farming tools, and Lyanna did the recruiting. Luna and Susan taught the students, Alys handled the household on Moat Cailin. Daphne took the advanced students on a field trip to dig the new Canal and practice their Earth Magic.
It took several tries to get it right, transfiguring mechanical tools from memory is not easy, a ball bearing in the wrong spot can mess it all up, several trips between my mindscape and the real world corrected all my mistakes, soon I was the proud owner of an antique plow, soon followed by a seeding and harvesting tool. One by one I created the prototypes, after a series of testing in our Manor trunk, I started to copy the prototypes with the Gemino spell. To save my Magic, we provided raw iron as a source for the spell to take the materials from.
Luna often took her students to the mining town to show what they could learn and let them try it for themselves, although eight to ten-year-old kids are too green to get something done.
Three months later, every Farmer Gate had a set of tools, the Gate Managers got books about four crop rotations, maintenance of the mechanical tools, and the use of every tool we provided. The rest is up to them to learn.
Xxxxx
We focused on the canal to the East Coast, it was a massive job, thirty yards wide and fifteen feet below the waterline, it made us invent new ways to do the job. The first mile we did by hand, transfiguring the walls and bottom into stone to stand against the erosion of the elements. Lighthouses showed the entrance to the canal, a two hundred feet high pillar with an eternal flame behind glass showed the ships where to sail too.
Trunks with wide openings were used to funnel the soil in, with an expanded space of one cubic mile, we filled one trunk after another, Lyanna, Britta, Alys, and Lysa practiced their permanent transfiguration on the sidewalls.
We created a big harbor close to Moat Cailin, with enough room to find our new future City the drawbridge over the Canal was impressive, there was enough room to let the biggest ships pass through. It took a half year to get it all done though, the connection to the West Coast was easier, the river Fever got widened and deepened, the last miles took a month to get through hard rock.
Teams of horses were trained to pull the ships without oars to Moat Cailin, for a fee, of course, slowly the canal was ready for action.
Xxxxx
We celebrated the connection by inviting every Northern Noble to Moat Cailin by Portkey. News about the new Canal was spread months ago, you could say we drew a lot of spectators while we dug the Canal.
Regent Elia sent a delegation to the opening, led by Lord Arryn, the Hand of the King, and her Master of Ships, Horas Redwyne, an uncle of the current Lord Redwyne. They came by ship to experience the canal for themselves.
Hoster Tully and his daughters represented the Riverlands, and Kevan Lannister for the Westerlands, both countries could benefit from a shortcut to the other ocean. Stannis was not interested, the canal was of no benefit to him.
Neither were the Martells, although Oberyn came for a visit with his paramour Ellaria and his daughters to sate his curiosity.
We stood at the entrance of our main hall with a plate of bread and salt, "Welcome to Moat Cailin, Lord Hand, you and your retinue will be our honored guests for as long as Regent Princess Elia can miss you in Kings Landing. After we share bread and salt, Tower Five is at your disposal, this servant, Aaron, will lead you to it and will act as a liaison between your servants and ours."
Lord Arryn observed me and my girls, we dressed up for the occasion, we had enough gold and jewelry on our body to feed the North for a decade, our clothes were of the finest silk, and the lace work would cost a fortune if it was made by hand. Hermione, Daphne, Susan, and Luna were wearing their Dragon-Rider Swords, the jewels on the pommel of the swords were making the visitors salivate, to sum it up, we were showing our power through the new castle and canal, and our wealth through our clothes.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Potter," Lord Arryn finally said, "You have an impressive castle and canal. Seeing it with my own eyes is different than hearing about it. Although I have my reservations about Magic, I will keep them for myself, as the Hand of the King, I represent Regent Princess Elia. May I present Ser Horas Redwyne, Master of Ships of the small council."
I smiled at Horas Redwyne: "Welcome, Ser Redwyne the reputation of the Redwyne's seafaring skills is spread far and wide."
Horas nodded: "This canal is a marvel, Lord Potter, it will open trade not only for the North but for the Riverlands and Westerlands too."
I pointed to Daphne, and Susan, "For trade and diplomacy you have to talk to my wives Ladies Daphne and Susan, Lady Lyanna Stark is learning fast too. I focus more on the practical side."
Daphne nodded: "We can talk later, Ser Redwyne, you can refresh yourself first."
The next one was Hoster Tully and his two daughters, "Lord Tully, be welcomed here, break bread and salt, and be our honored guests, Tower Six is at your disposal. Benno will lead you to it and act as the liaison between your and our servants."
Hoster was conflicted, on one side I was responsible for a major drop in sales of his crops, on the other side this castle and canal could bring the Riverlands new trade opportunities. Catelyn and Lysa were slack-jawed by the clothes and jewelry of my girls.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Potter," he said and followed Benno.
Moat Cailin was famous for its towers, so we built them too, about twenty of them, enough to house an army of fifty thousand. If we activate our extension charms then we can house a fivefold. Anyway, The North occupied five towers, we showed the Lannisters and Martells some Face and gave each of them one of the smaller towers.
It must have been a bitter pill to swallow for Lord Arryn, his tower was packed with Magic, this was where Lyanna, Britta, Alys, and Lysa learned enchanting, the bathrooms with hot and cold water, life-sized mirrors, Magic lights, and everything decorated with fine detailed motives. It was still a work in progress, only the lord's quarters were done. The other chambers are for our students to practice on, they contain just a normal bathroom.
That night in the Dining Hall, we impressed the foreign visitors with our food and cutlery, highly decorated plates and crystal glasses, knives and forks with detailed motives, mostly with dragon heads, we can say they won't call us savages.
After dinner, it was speech time, the ideal moment for narcissists and politicians that love to hear themselves talk, by then most of the guests were too far into their cups to listen or to care anyway. The Ladies moved to a smaller Hall to get away from the drunks and do the real negotiations.
Ser Redwyne's wife asked, "We heard a lot of those Farmer Gates, is it possible to visit one? The rumors said the inside is so big you can not see the other side."
Hermione took her Manor Trunk from her necklace and enlarged it, "You can see for yourself, please enter."
Carefully the women went inside the trunk and saw the Mansion a few hundred yards inside, Catelyn asked, "Who is living there?"
Hermione answered: "Nobody at the moment, this is for emergencies and travels. If you see the herds of horses in the distance and the sheep at the other side, we got them from the Dothraki and are for sale, we keep them in here to keep the grass short. The people that are taking care of the herds are slaves we freed from the Dothraki and wanted to have a job with us."
They entered the Mansion, Hermione had a Mansion trunk from Earth and the style of the Mansion was from France, a Louis XV one, it could be a Louis XIV or an XVI, who cares. She did love movies and modern technology though.
She grinned, "In our world, we had plays that we could view in a theater, follow me if you are curious."
The Lion King, a good movie with a message, make sure everyone is dead. The seats were spelled with a translation charm, it kills the songs though, the lyrics don't rhyme at all. But the spectators loved it. Luna is using this theater to reward good students, anyway, when Hermione explained that this was not Magic at all but made with technology, they had a hard time believing it.
While the girls were having fun with the girls, I was stuck with a bunch of drunks and an Oberyn that had the hots for me, should I confound him and let him try to seduce Kevan Lannister? Nah, that would be a diplomatic disaster. Meh, I cranked the level of booze up, Vodka, Schnapps, Rum, and Whiskey made quick work of the Lords, soon, everyone was pisdrunk and had to be carried to bed by their guards.
The only one left was Howland Reed, the only one who didn't drink my booze. I beckoned him over, "Lord Reed, as a close neighbor, I offer my friendship to you and your people. We can help each other in many ways if you want to."
"We accept your offer of friendship, Lord Potter, we are curious what you can do to help us," answered Lord Reed.
"We can exchange Magic knowledge, the Wizarding kind, for instance, or big parts of it, shape-shifting for example." I offered.
Howland Reed looked at me sideways and said: "I hope you don't want one of our daughters as payment."
