AN: WOW, So. Many. People. EEEEEKKKKKKK! I LOVE YOU GUYS! Okay I'm done with my small freak out with all the amazing responses to this story. Only two chapters and I already have fifteen followers, thirteen favorites, and six reviews. Special shout out to Spop103 and Descew MiCrose for convincing me to upload this story earlier than planned. ONWARD WITH THE STORY KNIGHTS AND LADIES, ONWARD. (I'm sick guys, can yu tell?)
DISCLAIMER: I, (SADLY) Felixlover solemly swear I do NOT own Harry Potter. I never have, never will. Anyone who claims they do that isn't the gorgous person of J.K. Rowling is insane and should get themselves checked out.
Mischeif managed.
I woke up to Hermione kissing me. I looked at her and blushed. "Hey sleepyhead, get dressed, we are going to breakfast. I pulled on my boxers and pants then went to get dressed. My mind was reeling from the night before. I smiled to myself then got ready.
When I walked out of the dorm and got to the commenroom, I immideatly looked for my beautiful queen. I walked over to her. "Hello my Queen. Have I told you how beautiful you are yet?" She giggled. "No Sir Potter, you have not." "Well then beautiful, shall we go down to breakfast with Sir Longbottom to meet up with Lady Luna, and Messurs Abaddon and Hitesh." "Why My Lord, that sounds brilliant. But don't forget about Sir Malfoy and his little sister Lady Isabella." I smiled at her. "Forgive me, beautiful." She giggled as I kissed her wrist. "Shall we, Sir Potter?" "Let's"
We walked into the great hall still laughing. I leaned in and reminded her of something from the night before. She blushed. "You're adorable when you do that." She burst out laughing. "When I blush? I look like an over-ripe tomato." I nuzzled her neck with my nose. "No you don't." Neville laughed at the both of us. "Seriously guys, can you stop with the fluff. It's annoying." I laughed at the affronted look on Hermiones face. "Calm down love, he's just trying to rile you up. We collected Luna and Draco and walked over to the Hufflepuff table. Susan looked at us funny. "Why are you guys sitting here?" She asked confused. "Well Susan, in our group we have five Gryffindors, a Ravenclaw, and a Slytherin. So I figured, neuteral ground. Besides, there's no rule against it. I checked." The Puffs nodded and went back to their breakfast.
About ten minutes into breakfast, the morning post came. Three owls flew in our direction, followed by five other owels. The three landed in front of me, and the five went the the four, the last going to me as well. I opened the one with the Gringotts signia first.
Lord Potter-Merlin
It has recently come to our attention that you hav not claimed the vault of your predecesor. We felt the need to inform you that you need to do so soon, but t do so you would need to claim the throne, thus announcing your title. Furthermore, if you are to do so, you would need to have a very public wedding with Lady Potter so no one can think they can force you into an arranged marriage. The director also personally invites you to dinner the coming up Saterday. Please send your reply soon.
Griphook
I thought about what it said then tucked the letter in my bag. I grabbed the next one. This had a post stamp and was written in pencil. I smiled and opened it.
Harry,
Hey how are you? I hope I sent this right. I wasn't exactly sure how to. I hope it got to you. Anyways, mum and dad say hi. I just wanted to keep in toutch and tell you how much has changed. I've been working out latly and realized how out of shape I was. I don't know what that spell did to me, but it really affected the way I treated myself. I no longer have the urge to eat all the time, or just sit around and watch tv. I also started protecting kids that are bullied. I had an incident yesterday, although I don't know how long it will have been when you get this, but there was this teenage boy picking on an eleven year old. So I stopped him. Granted, I could have been less violent, but she was eleven, and it looked like he was gonna molest her.
Things are a lot different at home too. The cubbard has been turned into an actual cubbard, and your room now has a queen sized bed(for you and Hermione), a tv, desk, computer, and bookshelf. Mum started crying when she was cleaning out the cubbard. It's hard knowing we were so crule to you, and also knowing we were forced to treat you like that. I love you brother.
Dudley
(P.S. Come home for Christmas this year please. Mum says you can invite all your friends.)
I smiled fondly and this letter. I looked up and saw another owl flying over. It dropped its letter in front of Mia and left. I looked at it curiously, but then turned back to my letters. I grabbed the next one on top and opened it.
Mr. Potter
Due to Lord Voldemort being back, I insist that you come to my office tonight. You may bring Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger with you if you wish. I rather like candy canes.
Albus
I snorted and put that in my pocket. I reached for my next letter. I opened it and saw the writing was in gold.
Dear Harry,
Hello love, I know you are confused right now, and that I wasn't able to be there for you, but I can be now. Merlin broke the block on my spirit along with my husbands. With his help, I was able to write this letter. On Sunday go to the ror. Bring the shadows.
I love you son.
I looked at the letter in shock, but tucked that into my bag as well when I heard Mia gasp beside me. I looked at her and saw she was reading the second letter she got. A single tear slipped down her cheek. I rubbed her back soothingly and slowly took the letter out of her hands. I looked at it and started reading. Everything else faded away as I read it.
Dear Miss Granger
It has come to my attention that you are in danger. Because you are a muggle-born, you are very vulnerable. Since you have no power anyone could force you into a marriage contract. Your parents would be incapable of stopping them. So, because you and Mr. Weasley are good friends, I have arranged a marriage between the two of you. I have done the same with Mr. Potter and Miss Weasley.
Albus Dumbledore
By the time I was finished, I was shaking in rage. Hermione put a hand on my arm, and I looked at her darkly. "Harry, your anger is consuming you. Please, you can't let it beat you. Remember that you're better than this. Please, you're scaring me." Some part of my conscience realized she was scared and I took a breath. I kept breathing until I calmed down, my eyes on hers the entire time. I smiled at her, though it was tight and forced. The fury was there, boiling under the surface, but I couldn't have my queen scared. "Sorry my love, I got out of control. That won't happen again." I kissed her wrist.
The first class of the day, of course had to be defense. Sadly, Bill was only teaching the younger years, so we had Umbridge. "Okay class, turn your pages to chapter one and start reading." She said in her annoyingly high voice. I looked at Hermione, Neville, and Draco. All of us had already finished the first ten chapters. "Mr. Potter, Miss Granger, Mr. Longbottom, Mr. Malfoy, is there a problem with your books?" We looked at her. "No ma'am." We chorused. "The why aren't they open?" She said turning to me. She looked at me like it was my fault. "That would be because of me professor. My father told me to study with Longbottom, Potter, Granger, and Loony. They usually get the highest marks. So we all read chapters one through ten already. We also summerized each chapter and wrote a foot each on the chapters. We figured since this is O.W.L.S year, we better get ahead. And as much as I hate to admit it, Potter and his friends are pretty smart." Draco said, sounding a bit like his old self. "Oh well alright Mr. Malfoy. Ten points to Slytherin for thinking ahead."
The rest of the day passed in a blur. Most of the time I was trying to control the lingering anger. It was bubbling at the surface. The others seemed to sense it, and they were avoiding talking to me, which only made me angrier. By dinner I felt like I was gonna expload. We all sat at the Slytherin table this time. Draco sat on Lunas right and i sat on Hermiones left, Neville was in the middle. Both girls were protected. The Slytherin next to me seemed to be scared of me. Hermione put her hand on my arm and she looked at me, worried. I smiled at her. "I know you're angrey, but you'll be fine. I love you." My smile changed, turning into something that felt more real. "After dinner, You, Draco, and I are going to Dumbasses office. He told me to bring you and Weasley, but I'm bringing my real best friend." She smiled and turned back to her food.
"So, I have a feeling Umbitch is out to get you Har." Draco said. I looked at him like he was crazy. "Oh, she most definatly is. But the ministry will have no control over Hogwarts by Monday." I said darkly. That quickly ended the conversation.
The three of us walked to the headmasters office. "Candy canes." I forced out. The gargoyle gave me a sympathetic look and turned to reveal the staircase. We walked up and I knocked on his office door. It opened and we walked in. "Harry my boy welcome. It is nice to ee you two again as well Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger." Dumbledore said without looking up. I cleared my throat. "Actually headmaster, it's Mr. Malfoy." He looked up in shock. "Well then. Please sit Mr. Malfoy, Harry, Miss Granger. He motiond to two chairs when he said Dracos and my name, but looked down when he said Mias. There was no chair for her so I smirked and pulled her onto my lap. I felt the anger wash over me and kept the smirk on my face. He looked up again. "Miss Granger, you gt my letter. Sitting on Harrys lap is highly inaproppriate. Get off at once." She moved to get up, but I tightened my grip around her waist. I smiled darkly. Acctually headmaster, my girlfriend is going to stay on my lap." The room got colder and I saw Draco and Mia share a glance. "Now what did you have to talk to me about. "Harry, I have betrothed you to Miss Weasley. You two are getting married on Sunday. Now get to bed." I looked at him and laughed. I proceded by kissing Hermione, then carrying her out.
I put Hermione down on our, well my, bed. She looked up at me. I kneeled over her on all fours. I nuzzled her neck and lightly bit the juncture between her collarbone and neck. She gasped lightly and grabbed my shoulders. I licked the spot twice before biting down again. I moved to her mouth and kissed her lightly. I raised my head and looked at her. Her left eye had turned gold again and she was breathing hard. I smirked and kissed her. My hands went to her shirt and I unbuttoned it, fast. Still kissing her, I unhooked her bra and moved my mouth down her neck. "Harry, you need to stop. You'll regret it in the morning love." I looked at her. Her chest rising and falling, the marks on her lower neck, and her bruised lips. I pinned her under me and kissed her again, hard. This time, I slid my tounge into her mouth. She pulled back. "Common love. The anger doesn't control you." She lightly kissed my lips, cheek, jawbone, then my neck. Just light kisses. "Come back love. Your anger is not needed." I blinked and a haze cleared. "Oh Merlin. I'm so sorry Hermione." I said panicky. She laughed. "It's fine. I love you." I looked at her. "But I-" She sighed. "Were mad and needed help. I'm fine."
The rest of the week went by in a blur. Before I knew it, I was standing in front of Gringotts with my court.
