Chapter 6

the signs are all there

Tracy walks out of the shed and sees Harry sitting in a chair. Harry looks at Tracy with trepidation he knows to talk he has to have with her is going to be hard, but he knows he has to do it. she has to get past pure blood Ways if she's ever going to have a chance to survive.

" Tracy please sit down. Harry asks her.

"Ok , sure Harry." Tracy moves to set in the other.

"Tracy we have to talk." Harry says then pauses to gather his thoughts. "You're going to have to learn not to follow the pureblood ways if you plan on staying around me. Your attacks on Hermione must stop. Somehow I feel that nothing that is happening to her is her fault. Which means she needs friends more than anything now, you're going to have to decide which you want to be. Are you going to be her friend or her enemy. Just remember this if you're her enemy then you're my enemy."

"You mean after everything she's done to you you're still going to defend her. You're going to pick her over Daphne and myself. Somehow I think you need to explain how that can be." Tracy asks him .

"The simple truth of the matter is that while Daphne has a place in my heart, Hermione is my heart, always has been and always will be. So if the two of you want to be in my life and have my protection then you're going to have to learn that Hermione is always going to be number 1. I have room in my life for friends but I don't have room in my life for people who wish to judge purely based on blood status. So you're either going to have to get with the program or hit the highway. I have no more time for your rude comments about Hermione . Sorry either shape up or go back to the family that despises you. The choice is yours to make." Harry tells her.

"Ok Harry, I will try my best to understand your feelings in this situation. But you have to understand that till now this is the belief that I was raised with. It is not that I don't think that she deserves to be where she is, it is just hard for me to put old teachings behind me. But with yours and Daphne's help I think I might be able to do it." Tracy says as she looks at the ground.

Harry has been watching her as she's been speaking, , he can see the sincerity in her words. He looks off to the west to the bundle of nerves that he knows is Hermione's . He can feel that she is nervous about something but not quite what it is. He looks back to Tracy and nods his head.

"Fine Tracy, I will give you a pass this time but from this point forward you must believe that the rude comments and your actions will have consequences if you continue down the path that you are on. I will do my best to try to understand that this was the way that you were brought up. But you have to understand that my patience has limits. I have a lot of things going on in my life right at the moment that are hard to explain, basically because I don't understand them myself. So I need you to do your level best to not push me to the breaking point. Because I have no idea exactly what would happen if I did break. These new powers sometimes seem to take a hold of me and they have a mind of their own. So I have to learn how to control them as well as to figure out what Falco's hold is over Hermione . So I guess we'll just have to agree to try and help each other out." Harry tells her.

"I can do that Harry, thank you for not throwing me out on the street. We will get through this together, one way or another." Tracy tells him.

********************DSAB2************************

"Draco what are we going to do about the situation?" Ron asks.

"At this point there's not a lot that we can do , we have to take it one day at a time. Until we know what he has over her as far as the oath is concerned. If we trying to do anything to break the oath it could kill her and Harry." Draco tells him.

"I know that it is dangerous to try to break the oath, but I feel so helpless sitting here doing nothing. We have got to find a way to figure out what the wording of the oath is." Ron tells him.

"Patience my friend patience we will find what we need in time. If we try to rush this it could lead to disaster." Draco tells Ron.

"Time may not be something we have, you know as well as I do that is she has to hang around and pretend to date Falco that it will kill Harry. Maybe not kill him but it might push him over the edge. Neither one of us want to know what that can lead to. It could destroy more then just two people's lives." Ron tells Draco.

"We will just have to be there for Harry, because we all know that Falco will try to rub it in his face every chance he gets. The question is what is Falco going to do to Hermione with her leaving for the summer. I am sure he had plans to humiliate her and drive a bigger wedge between her and Harry. I think all we can do is try to be there to help ease the pain." Draco says.

"Draco I don't think I've ever known that kind of pain that Harry will be in if Hermione ends up with Falco this next school year. I'm not sure how I could help him since I don't understand what kind of pain he will be in. Believe me when I say I will try everything I can to help him, but I'm just not sure as to what I should say." Ron tells him.

"Ron, I think the only thing that we can do is be there for him. What we say will depend on the situation at the time. With anything else we will just have to take it one day at a time. You can only do so much, part of it will be up to Harry. We know she is under a wizards oath I think if we let Harry know it might help him deal with the situation. All we can do is be there for him and try to help him as much as possible." Draco tells Ron.

"Ok Draco we will do it your way. Cuz to be honest your way sounds better than anything that I can come up with at least at this time. So we vow to stand by Harry and to try and help Hermione as best we can. I'm telling you if I ever get my hands on Falco I will ring his neck." Ron says.

"Yeah well let's just make sure that we have the oath broken before you do that. Once the oath is broken I have a feeling we will have to stand in line to get a piece of Falco Henton." Draco tells him.

"You may be right about that, but I can always hope. One way or another Falco will get his in the end and I for one hope I have front row seats to whatever Harry does to him." Ron says.

"Yeah I want to be sitting right there beside you when that does happen . Because I for one think that Falco deserves whatever Harry does to him."

********************DSAB2************************

Hermione and Daphne are looking at each other from across the yard. Hermione is close to the house and Daphne is standing twenty feet away. Hermione has no clue why she is here except she claims to be here for Harry.

"How did we first meet?" Hermione says with her hand on her wand.

"It was our first year at school. Falco Henton was calling you names and teasing you. After he left I walked over and told you to ignore the idiot as he was nothing to worry about. Seems I was slightly wrong about that." Daphne says.

"If you say so about Henton any ways. Ok you are who you say you are. Now why are you really here?" Hermione asks.

"I am here because Harry feels that you would rather have me here than him. He thinks that you don't want to see him or be around him because of your actions of late. Now I've been around the wizarding world my entire life, so I know there is more in play then what you're letting on. For one I don't see how someone like you could ever want to be with someone like Falco. Let alone what we both know happened on the train home. So what's say that we pretend that this is going to be a normal conversation. Even though we both know there are things that you won't be able to tell me." Daphne says.

"Okay so why does Harry need to talk to me, what is this about?" Hermione asks.

"Well for starters I guess we should start with the rings."

"What rings would you be talking about?" Hermione asks.

"The ones that are on your fingers even though I can't see them, I know they are there. I watched Harry put them on his fingers and I heard the explanation that they would show up on yours as well. I also have a feeling that you have a couple of dragons on your body somewhere, am I correct." Daphne inquires.

"So you've become Harry's new confident then. You taking my place by his side. When did this happen and why did this happen." Hermione asks.

"Does it matter when or why it happened. I am there to try and help him through the time that you can't be. I will be honest with you I want more from him than to just be his companion. But I also realize that, that can never happen unless you agree to it. I can help him deal with the pure blood wizards and there funky lifestyle. Which is something that not even you can do. Don't get me wrong Hermione, I know that you are the smartest which of our age. But you have not lived in the wizarding world, so therefore you do not know our ways and customs. Allow me to help both you and Harry and in exchange all I ask is when the time is right, you back me if Harry decides to take a second wife." Daphne tells her.

"A second wife why would Harry do that?" Hermione inquires.

"Because Harry is the head of more than one ancient and Noble house. Which means technically he could take up to four wives. Somehow I don't see him doing that two maybe, and I want to be the second one if he decides to do that. So I will do everything in my power to help both of you through this difficult time if you agree that if he decides to take a second wife that you will encourage him to choose me." Daphne tells her.

"Okay let's say that I'm on board with this. why do you need or want to be Harry second wife, and what else are you here for besides the rings and to try and convince me to allow you to be Harry's second wife? There has to be more to it than that, so tell me." Hermione says.

"Fine Hermione, I will let you think about the whole second wife thing. As I said before the rings are a part of his heritage he has claimed his birthright. The second reason why I'm here it's because Harry is going to call forth the Elven nation, this will free all of the elves from slavery. With you in your current situation he is reluctant to turn complete control of the Elven nation over to you. But he wants your input as to what he should do with them once he frees them. There's a problem in the fact the elves cannot be completely free. they draw magic from the wizard or witch that they are bonded to. So in a sense they have to be bonded but that doesn't mean that they have to be treated badly. Maybe we can get wizards and witches to sign some kind of a contract stating that they will treat their elves with respect and honor before allowing them to bond with another elf. That would in itself allow you to control how the elves are treated. of course Harry will maintain control and just follow your wishes until such time as you are free from your current commitment." Daphne tells her.

"I am Not sure what I would want to do as far as the elves are concerned. With the new knowledge that they must be bonded, puts a huge wrinkle and what I would want for them. I will need time to think about what you have said and to decide what I would truly want for the Elvin nation. it might be a couple of days before I come to any kind of decision, is there a way that you can come back in a few days? As far as the Rings and the dragons are concerned yes I have them but not everyone can see them. I can try and show you but we should go inside the house first. so follow me." Hermione says.

Hermione turns and walks towards the door as Daphne follows her. They walk past Hermione's parents and grandparents as she leads Daphne to her room towards the back of the house. Once inside Hermione closes the door and slowly turns toward Daphne. She removes her shirt and bra and turns back toward Daphne.

Daphne has followed Hermione to her room inside the house. She watches as Hermione removes her top . She notices nothing out of the ordinary . She then notices that Hermione is pointing to the top part of both breasts and running her finger up to her collarbone.

"Do you see anything in these areas?" Hermione asks.

"No I don't, should I be seeing something there?" Daphne asks.

"This is where the dragon showed up on me. I don't know where they are on Harry, but this is where I carry them." Hermione tells her.

As soon as Hermione started talking and pointing to where the dragons are they suddenly appear to Daphne. Daphne takes a sudden intake of breath and covers her mouth. The dragons That appear on Hermione's breasts are the same ones that appeared on Harry's forearms.

"I can see them now, they look the same as what appeared on Harry only his are on his forearms not his chest. I'm not sure what to make of this Hermione . I would say that it is a definite sign that you and Harry are linked to each other by more than just this mortal world. I think that somehow me and you need to figure out how to get you out of the situation that you are in." Daphne tells her.

"I wish I could explain exactly what is going on to you but unfortunately I cannot, it is simply not possible for me to tell you. I would love to have someone help me figure out how to get out of the situation that I am in
