(In Snape's Class)

Harry sat down and glanced at the professor that hated his guts. "What do you mean we have to talk sir?" asked Harry.

Snape took a sip of tea. "You see Potter we share more history then you realize. We're even alike," said Snape.

"Harry sat down. "I hope this isn't the part where you tell me you're my real father or some other bull like that," said Harry.

Snape spat his tea out. "No boy. I never wanted children. I always felt that I was unworthy to have children of my own for the dark deeds that I committed in my lifetime," said Snape.

"Okay now that that's out the way. What do you mean by us both being alike?" asked Harry.

"We are alike in several ways. First is the fact that you are good at DADA as well as Potions. You may not know this, but you have the third highest grade of it in your year. You and I are also both the last of our Houses as well as Half-bloods," said Snape taking another sip of tea

"Half-blood sir?" Asked Harry looking at Snape.

"We are Born to Pure bloods and a Muggle or Muggle-born. I was one such case. Although my father was an evil man. He would beat my mother and myself as well as my younger sister. The day I turned 17 I moved out. At 20 I moved both my Mother and sister out of that place. Both are dead. My sister of Cancer and my mother of a heart attack," said Snape.

"Sorry sir," said Harry.

"It's alright potter. I've had my time to grieve for them. You remind me of a strange mixture of your father and myself and young Miss Grander reminds me of your mother. She reminds me so much of your mother that I thought I was looking at a young Lily when I first met her. As for you I thought you'd be like your father. An arrogant person who just thought he owned the world. I was wrong about you as proved time and time again Harry," said Snape.

"Thank you sir," said Harry.

"Don't think me yet. I must tell you of two things that will make you hate me even more then you use to," said Snape.

"What could those be?" asked Harry trying to figure out Snape's game.

Snape stood and sighed. "First it was my fault that your parents are dead. I was the one who told the dark lord something that made him target you and your family. I am under an oath from both Dumbledore and the dark lord to never reveal what I heard unless given permission from either of them," said Snape

Harry clenched his fist. "And the second thing?" asked Harry.

"Dumbledore has been pulling all the strings in your life since your family was killed by the dark lord himself. He is more cruel then The dark lord as he will destroy anything for the greater good. You are a weapon to him and nothing more," said Snape.

"How can I know that what you said is true Snape?" asked Harry.

Snape grabbed a veil that was on the table. "This is a potion that will force me to tell the full true to the extent I can. It's not the most powerful, but it gets the job done," said Snape

Harry stood up and slugged Snape. "What made you to do something so bloody stupid!" yelled Harry.

Snape wiped his face. "Come back here after the second task. There you will have your answers. I just hope that they are the things that you seek," said Snape.

"I hope you find what you seek as well, because you wouldn't have told me anything without seeking something," said Harry.

As he began to walk he was stopped by one simple word. "Forgiveness," said Snape as he pulled out three books and set them on the table. One was Blue, One was red and the last was a 6th year styled Journal.

"What are those?" asked Harry.

"The blue one is your mothers. It was left to me in her personal will. I never opened it out of respect. The red is your fathers. He gave it to me with intrusions to red from before school to the end of 5th. I must say I never knew that we were Jealous of Each other. The last is my personal book with Notes for Potions, spells and other things. I must also warn you that there are a few in here that I invented for… darker reasons," said Snape.

Harry grabbed all three books and walked over to the door. "I'll talk to you later professor," said Harry as he walked out the door.

(Later that Day)

Harry sat down under the tree trying to make heads or tails of the things that had been said to him by Snape. In his hands he held the journals of three people. Two he never really got to know and a Man he thought would hate him to the day he died and even beyond that. He was about to open his book when Hermione came down from the Castle. Her cheeks were flushed from the cold and it gave her an exotic look.

"There you are Harry. I've been looking all over for you," said Hermione.

"What for Mione?" asked Harry.

"Professor Dumbledore would like to speck with you in his office," said Hermione.

Harry frowned. "Alright Mione. Could you do me a favor?" asked Harry.

Hermione smiled. "Sure Harry. I don't mind," said Hermione.

Harry packed up his book before handing them to her. "Would you please take these up to the Common room for me?" asked Harry.

Hermione nodded as Harry handed her the sack, before making his way to the Headmasters office. He quickly reached the 6th floor were the Headmasters office was and looked at the gargoyle guarding the door. Harry wondered what the candy was this time as the headmaster always used sweets as his passwords.

"Whoppers? Gummy bears? Gummy warms, Red Hots," said Harry only for the Gargoyle to move to the side. "Can't believe that one there worked ," said Harry as he walked up the stairs.

Once at the door he knocked. "Enter," came a voice.

Harry opened the door to see two people there. One Dumbledore, the other he recognized as Minister Fudge. "Professor Dumbledore you called me?" asked Harry looking at Dumbledore and Fudge from the corner of his eye.

"Yes Harry my boy Minister Fudge and I would like a word with you," said Dumbledore his eyes twinkling.

"What is it you would like to talk about sirs?" asked Harry looking at the two.

"Well my boy We heard about the marriage contract that Minister Delacour offered you. We think it is in your best interest to accept the contract," said Fudge.

Harry Narrowed his eyes. Something was up and he didn't like it. "Excuse me Sir?" asked Harry.

"Well Mr. Potter we think it would be in the best interest of everyone involved if you married Miss Delacour. It would paint a picture of a family man, and between you, Me, and Dumbledore here we could possibly get the public firmly on our side for anything that is to come," said Fudge.

"That's their game huh?" thought Harry.

"I'm sorry Minister, but I can't do that. Fleur was distort at the time and I couldn't do that to her and even though I was offered the contract I couldn't accept it at the time. We're more on a trial basis as it is," said Harry.

"But Harry my boy wouldn't you love to have a wife of your own?" asked Dumbledore. "What is happening? He should be jumping at the change to marry her?" thought Dumbledore

"Be that as it may Headmaster, I don't want her to marry me for the wrong reasons," said Harry.

Fudge frowned, before nodding. "Very well my boy," said Fudge

"Oh Harry, In a few weeks there will be a formal Dinner for the Champions, the Families, the Headmasters, and a few other people that you are required to attend," said Dumbledore.

Harry nodded, before walking out. Once he was out fudge rounded on Dumbledore. "Albus What the Hell! I thought you said he would do what you said!?" yelled Fudge.

"Patience Cornelius, after all if we push the boy any further then needed we may lose him to the Dark," said Dumbledore.

(2 weeks later)

Harry was tried. Classes had started back up a week ago and it was only another few weeks until the second task and he still hadn't figured out that damned egg. Fleur had offered to help, but he had declined. Right now however he was sitting at the table in the Great hall with Hermione. He was in a good mood at least until Draco walked up to him. Harry growled before looking at Malfoy.

"What do you want Malfoy?" asked Harry.

"Nothing much potter. Just som time your little Veela whore," said Malfoy making Harry's Blood boil.

"Back off malfoy or do you want me to bust your nose again!" yelled Hermione.

"Did it just talk to me? I don't remember saying anything to you Mudblood," said Draco making Harry stand up.

"Get lost, before I send you and your bloody goons to the hospital wing Malfoy!" yelled Harry.

Malfoy pulled out his wand. "In your dreams Potter!Everte Statum!" yelled Malfoy firing the hurling hex at Harry.

"HARRY!" yelled Hermione as her best friend was blasted backwards.

Harry was blasted into the wall of on the other side of the Ravenclaw Table. Harry stood up and glared at malfoy. He pulled his wand and looked around. The hall was too crowded for a battle, so instead he glared at Malfoy, before running towards the door.

"Hay Draco I didn't know your Father put out for a knut!" yelled Harry making Draco angry and Follow Harry out onto the grounds, Hermione looked at Katie Bell.

"Katie go and Get Professor McGonagall. I'll go and help Harry," said Hermione not even waiting for Katie to nod, before she ran off.

(On the grounds near the lake)

Harry turned around and glared at Draco and his goons. "No where to run now potter!"

"I wasn't running Malfoy. "To many people would have gotten hurt if we stayed and did battle there," said Harry.

"Always the noble one ah Potter!" yelled Malfoy.

"PIROUS!" yelled Harry shooting out a jet of red flames from his wand.

Malfoy rolled out the way and aimed his wand at Harry. "Depulso!" yelled Malfoy at Harry.

Harry jumped behind a tree, before looking at Malfoy. Harry saw a dead tree, before pointing his wand at it. Wingardium Leviosa.," said Harry pointing at the tree and lifting it, before hurling it at Malfoy.

Malfoy's eyes widened, before he was caught in the chest by the attack and sent to the ground, before he got back up. He held his wand in hand with his left fist above his head.

"That's it potter! Confringo!" yelled Malfoy firing a blast of red magic from his wand

"Game Over Malfoy! Expulso," yelled Harry firing his own red blast at Malfoy.

The two energies connected, before exploding outwards sending the two boys flying. Harry flipped a few times in the air, before landing with half his body sticking out the lake. He felt like he was burning and knew that his robes were damaged. He could tell by his sleeves and the holes in his clothes.

The last thing Harry remembered, before slipping into darkness was a scream that sounded so familiar, like he was hearing his mother.

(Hospital wing)

Harry's eyes bolted open as he looked around. He was in the hospital wing. Sitting next to him was Hermione, Fleur and Gabby. Ron, Neville, Marcus, and Apolline.

"Harry oh my god are you alright!?" asked Hermione.

"Fine Mione. What happened?" asked Harry sitting up and whining a bit as he sat up. He noticed that his stomach was bandaged as was the upper part of his right chest.

"You defended our onor Arry, ," said Fleur kissing Harry on the cheek

"You kicked Malfoy's bloody Asre Harry," said Ron grinning.

"You two nearly killed is what you did," came McGonagall's voice. Everyone looked to see her and Poppy standing there.

"What happened?" asked Harry.

"You both fired a blasting curse at each other. However since the two curses were of different properties they destroyed each other causing a backlash of power. You two are lucky that your still alive. Mr. Malfoy was released from the hospital wing only an hour ago. He was a bit further away from the spells then you were. You'll need another day to recover.

"How long was I out?" asked Harry. "Three days," said McGonagall walking out of the wing.

Harry laid back. "Okay I know I'm lucky now," said Harry making everyone look at him.

"What do you mean son?" asked Marcus.

"She didn't give me a Detention," said Harry looking around, before everyone looked a each other. "Okay what is it?" asked Harry looking at everyone.

"Well the thing is Harry that. The profit got wind of your Dual. It was printed yesterday," said Hermione holding up a paper. Harry grabbed the paper and began to read.

Twisted Affair

Rita Skeeter

"Harry James Potter and Draco Luaus Malfoy Did battle on the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witch craft and Wizardry and nearly killed each other when two blasting Cursed destroyed each other. Like any good story this started with a girl. The French Champion name Fleur Delacour.

Back during December the Night of the Yule Ball Fleur was Nearly raped by Rodger Davis 7th year at the time who vanished not long afterwards. It was reviled to me that Harry potter stopped the assault on Miss Delacour and gave Davis a rather thorough beating. However that is not the Focus of our little story here.

After that Miss Delacour used her Veela charm on Harry potter to get him to agree to a Marriage contract with her family. Harry agreed to it, but was stopped from signing by Dumbledore who proposed a wait and see approach, much to the Delacour's frustration. Then not to long ago it was reviled by Draco malfoy that he too was seeing the Veela as well.

They dueled to decided who she would wed. After a drawn out battle the dual ended in a draw between the two. With Harry Potter sustaining the worse of the wounds, but falling unconscious a bit later then Mr. Malfoy. How this dual will effect the rest of the Tournament, nee the rest of the school year nee the rest of their lives is yet to be determined yet.

Harry glared at the damn paper before burning it with pure magic, without even realizing it. He hated that bitch Skeeter. "How the hell did she get wind of the fight between Me and Malfoy? More importantly how did she find out about what happened to Fleur?' thought Harry as he burned the paper.

"Is there away to Have that woman bared from the tournament?" asked Harry.

Marcus shuck his head. "If their was I would have already done it," said Marcus.

Harry gritted his teeth. "Arry clam down. Zit won't matter now. Anyway Arry we have to prepare for the Formal dinner that is being held Tomorrow," said Fleur.

"So," said Harry.

"So? Harry international policies are made at events like this," said Apolline looking at Harry.

Harry sighed, before getting out of bed. "Let me go get dressed," said Harry as all the girls, Ron, and Neville left the room leaving Harry and Marcus.

"You should be aware Harry that The biggest families in Europe will be attending this Dinner. Including Lucis Malfoy, Drake Greengrass, Kelly Davis, and a whole host of others," said Marcus walking out.

Harry slapped his face. "Well that's just bloody great," said Harry.

(Next Night)

Harry stood in his dressed in a black robe, with a red button up shirt and black tie. Under his robes was a muggle suit. He exited the dorm and met many squeals from the girls of the house of brave.

Parvati came up to him and straightened his tie. Mr. Potter I must say you look sharp as a tack tonight. Same as you did when we went to the Yule Ball," said Parvati making Harry blush.

"Well Thank you. Parvati. Where's Hermione?" asked Harry looking around for his best friend.

"She's in the Library," said Parvati.

Harry shuck his head, before exiting the Common room and walking to the entrance hall. Once there he saw many people arriving. He looked over towards the entrance to the Dungeons and saw three stunning figures come out. Tracy, Daphne, and Pansy.

Harry looked at the three of them in awe. Pansy wore a black dress that left her shoulders bare and gave a clear view of her cleavage, Next was Daphne she wore a sliver dress with a neck, and a flower in the center that showed off her bust well. Last was Tracy. She had on a green dress that had long sleeves. The three walked up to him and bowed to him slightly.

"Heir potter," said the three together.

Harry looked at them in confusion. "Heir Potter?" said Harry

Pansy gave him a friendly hug, before pulling back. "We'll have to talk later," said Pansy as she and the girls walked over to the hall. Harry followed suit and found himself staring at a table in the center of the hall, and multiple smaller tables. Standing at the head of the table was Professor Dumbledore and Fudge.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, before everyone quieted down. "Welcome to this gathering. We are here to promote the TWT. Four of the best and biggest are competing for Eternal fame and glory. In three weeks time they will face the second task and it will be hard on them. So for tonight we would like them to enjoy themselves," said Dumbledore.

Everyone began to talk throughout the evening while Naruto stayed with Cedric, Victor, Fleur, and a few other kids his age, that is until Lucis came up to him.

"How are you this fine night Mr. Potter?" asked Lucis.

"Fine sir," said Harry, already going for his wand.

"Oh. I was just reading the paper the other day and I read the most interesting article, by Rita Skeeter. Quite a nice woman once you get to rally know her," said Lucis.

"Get to the point Malfoy. We have better things to do then talk to you," said Victor.

"Yes well I thought it'd be good to talk to the champions. Good night," said Lucis walking away.

"Harry grabbed a butter beer and drank it. "I hate that man," said Harry.

"You and me both pal," said Cedric.

The tables vanished and people parried up for a wizarding dance. Harry was about to leave when pansy walked up to him. "Harry how about a dance?" asked Pansy.

Before Harry or Fleur could say anything he was dragged there and he put his hand around her waist, before the music started. Once they got to one counter of the way finished Harry looked at her, before spinning her.

"What's wrong Pansy?" asked Harry.

"It's that bastard Malfoy! He's trying to push me closer to his damned son. I want this to stop Harry," whispered pansy as she was dipped.

"I'll take care of this?" asked Harry pulling her up.

"Thank you Harry ," said Pansy as the dance ended and she kissed him on the cheek.

The dinner ended and everyone prepared to leave. Harry walked out and walked back to the Common room only to stop as he heard someone moaning. It came from a classroom that nobody used anymore. Harry opened the door slightly and noticed that it was Angelina in her knickers and Fred. He turned began to walk away he didn't need to see anymore then he already did.

"I need to sleep," said Harry as he walked into the Common room to find that it was empty. Laying on the Couch was Parvati with a sketch pad in her hand. Harry grabbed the pad and looked at it. He turned to the last page and saw that it was himself, rather good as well. He turned to the page before that and his eyes widend in shock.

There was a picture of a wedding going on in it. He saw himself and her in it. It was depicted at sunset/ Harry also saw a little note that said My dream on it. Harry closed the pad and slipped it back to her, before rubbing her shoulder and waking her up.

Once she was up Harry sent her to bed, before he himself went to his own dorm. He still needed to figure out what the next task was.
