When Harry, Fleur, Ginny, and Hermione arrivied in the Forest of Dean they immediately set up the defensive enchantments, and while they were doing that, one of their proximity alarms was set-off. Thinking it was Remus or one of the twins, Harry and Hermione went to check it out. However, when they got there, there was a person there, but a person they didn't know. This person was crying, and when she noticed Harry and Hermione, she cowered in fear. "Stay away from me Potter, you son of a bitch!!!"
"What the fuck! Do I know you?" Asked a shocked and irritated Harry. He was answered, however, not by the crying girl but by Hermione, "Daphne, is that you? What are you doing here, and why aren't you at Hogwarts?"
"Oh, Hermione, they're dead, Astoria, and Mum and Dad, all because of you Potter. I cant go back to Hogwarts because my parents allied themselves to your cause Potter, the Slytherins would tear me apart." She started sobbing even harder at the mention of her parents. Harry, not exactly the best person to comfort a crying girl, looked at Hermione, who apparently knew this Daphne, with a look that made her realize that she had to do this. "Daphne, its not Harry's fault that you-know-who is trying to kill him and his allies, and besides why would your parents align themselves with Harry, they are pureblooded Slytherins."
Upon hearing this Harry's attention which had been on stand-by while Hermione comforted Daphne, snaaped to hyper mode, "How do we know shes not a spy, Malfoy could have sent her?"
Hermione, with a glance at Daphne who nodded, said, "I know shes not because she is my friend, has been since beginning of 5th year we met at the library, started talking about interesting books and spells and so on, last summer we even went to visit each other, although that was before I went to Snuffle's house, and yes she is a Slytherin, however, she does not listen to Malfoy or believe in the whole Pure-Blood supremacy thing, she is a true Slytherin, meaning that she is intelligent and cunning, but not clever enough for Ravenclaw. And you heard the Greengrass family allied itself with your cause and died because of it."
Daphne Greengrass spoke up, "I was wondering since I can't go back to school, or stay where the Death Eaters can get me, can I join you in your fight, now that I actually have something to fight for?"
Harry looked skeptical, however Hermione still trying to unify the Hogwarts houses, said "I can vouch for her, Harry, she's not dark, and by the way last summer, she told me she likes you, so we can get kinky if you want…"
"That sounds great" Harry and Daphne had spoken at the same time…
The two teens looked at each other and blushed like Weasley's. Hermione got an exasperated look on her face and, sighing said, "Like I told you before, Daphne, we could share Harry, but I get him whenever I want, and Daphne, if you betray us, he and I will kill you."
"Don't worry I wont betray you guys. I have no where to go, remember."
"You... you talked about that before?" Harry whispered.
"Yes, we did, because we both like you and you were one of the main themes of our conversations" answered Daphne.
"So Harry what do you think about dating two girls?" asked Hermione.
"What do i think about dating two the most beautiful girls of Hogwarts?" he whispered, and then fainted.
"It looks like he's impressed" said Daphne with a smirk.
"I think he is" giggled Hermione.
Before they could make harry any happier they heard the apparition pop, and Remus appeared out of nowhere, walked up to them and said, "Oh, good you found them Daphne, I hoped you would, also I was very soory to hear about your parents, but especially about Astoria."
"Thank you, professor, its weird to think that I will never see them again, but when I start to get depressed I just recite the song Undying in my head."
Remus and everyone else had a blank look on their face, so Daphne recited the lyrics to the Demon Hunter song:
Ever since the day that I was made I've been deciding the end
And I was made of wood and stone that won't diminish or burn
So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away
I'll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay
Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me
I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me
Cause when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread
I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said
When this season ends… One final heart-break Undying Tearing through these days I find the tolerance to strive and push on Pre-chorus: Chorus: We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste We are the ones, we are the ones, we are the ones Pre-Chorus: UNDYING Chorus:
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name
I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won
No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall
Without the blood of perfect life I know I'm nothing at all
So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity's hand
No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand
When this season ends…
One final heart-break
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name
(repeat)
Undying
We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face
We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face
When this season ends…
One final heart-break
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name
(repeat)
Undying
When Daphne finished reciting the lyrics, everyone realized how profoundly true they were, that no matter how bad their death had been, and how bad their life was on earth they be reunited in the Great Beyond, and their souls would indeed be undying. Then Harry spoke, "C'mon Daphne, I'll introduce you to everyone else." They walked over to where Fleur and Ginny were waiting for them in the tent, and said, "Hey everyone, this is Daphne Greengrass, she is going to be joining us as well." Ginny recognized her as a Slytherin, and just huffed. Fleur on the otherhand, not knowing why Ginny was being a bitch, said, "It's very nice to meet you, Daphne. My name is Fleur Delacour, and this is Ginny Weasley, we really appreciate you coming with us, the more help we have the better. Especially when we get into a fight with Death Eaters or something."
Ginny, not exactly happy with the enchanting Slytherin girl being there, said, "And, pray tell Daphne, why would a Pure-Blood Slytherin like yourself, help us destroy you-know-who, and why the hell are you in school robes?"
Nobody else had noticed but the blonde Slytherin, was in fact wearing her black Hogwarts robes with the green trim, identifying her as a Slytherin, so she said "These were the only clothes I had time to grab before my house went up in flames, along with the bodies of my family." When that thought popped into her head, she started to once agai, sob inconsolably, until Hermione hugged her.
By this time Harry had recovered enough to realize that she was distraught and needed a group hug so he joined Hermione in hugging her, though he was still blushing a little bit.
"Thanks, you two, I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't run into you."
Fleur looking concerned about something asked, "Daphne how long have been on the run?"
Daphne stopped crying, and thought about it, biting her bottom lip in almost the same way as Hermione. While she was thinking about this Harry noticed that the two beautiful girls that liked him looked extremely adorable when they did that, and it made him want to kiss them, but he decided that now would probably not be the best time to do that. Daphne finally answered Fleur's question, "I've been on the run for about a week and a half, I found you guys using the Deluminator that Professor Lupin gave me when I apparated to the Burrow."
Ginny surprised at this statement asked, "How do you know where the Burrow is?"
Hermione lokking sheepish, said, "I kinda told her, so that we could hang out over summer, before I had to go away. And Remus, how did you get Ron's Deluminator?"
The werewolf replied, "After I knocked him out, I went through his pockets and found this, figuring it was a lighter I clicked it, but then I heard you guys talking. Then Daphne appeared and I gave it to her so she could find you guys because for some reason I was not able to tell her where you were."
Fleur, who had been staring at Harry this whole time, staring at him because she had secretly admired him since the Tri-Wizard Tournament, said, "Where were you sleeping, Daphne?"
"I would just transfigure trees into tents and then put up some wards, and try to sleep."
"You don't have to do that anymore, we have a tent big enough for everyone."
Fleur hadn't looked away from Harry the entire time he had been back, and Ginny and Hermione had noticed. Fleur just smirked, because she knew that they knew that if she really wanted Harry he was hers to have, no question.
Harry just sttod there, oblivious to all this.
A/N- The lyrics I used, I do not own them Demon Hunter owns them, but you should check the song out, its pretty good, and helped me through my boredom recently so check it out
Thanks again to JohnnyK55555 for his ideas on the introduction of Daphne, and how she and Hermione Met.
