If some of you are wondering why Harry knowing the mind arts is not disciplined at all is because: 1: he hasn't went inside since Sirius died and 2: with the new powers being awoken it also unlocked some of the base personality types of who he has inherited the names of.
Thanks for the reviews and especially the favorites/follows, to the guest, this is my first fanfic as most of you saw in the first chapter and I'm just trying to make it so everyone is in the know and comes back for more later.
So I'm back in action and won't make another mistake like the one last chapter.
Again thanks for all the reviews and support and general and don't forget the poll. I'm taking It down soon.
I may start a new story because I'm most likely putting this chapter up tonight.
Chapter nine: Setting it straight
Following Daphne to her room was like a maze with how big the house. Mr. Greengrass wasn't kidding when he said the pay off was worth moving for. Finally I found Daphne's room.
"Hey Daph can I come in?"
I heard a muffled response. Taking it as a yes I walked into the room.
It was a pretty big room about the size of a garage painted in white. The only personal touch was a black chair in a corner of the room and a picture.
Looking closer I almost got choked up. It was the last picture that Mrs. Greengrass had taken of her. Astoria was on top of me being piggy-backed while I had my left arm wrapped around Daphne and Mrs. Greengrass was next to us in her hospital bed. Mr. Greengrass was taking the picture.
Looking closer at Daphne, she had her head face down with her arms under her pillow, curled up in blankets and about a dozen pillows. Sitting on Daphne's king sized bed I started talking to her again.
"Daph I'm really sorry I said those things," I said while rubbing her back,"I just wanted to see the old Daphne back. You know the bubbly girl that used to think eating cotton candy everyday would make it so your hair grew cotton candy," I chuckled.
"Daphne you still there or are you asleep."
Stopping to get up I then heard another muffled sound.
"What did you say Daphne."
Turning partially around showing me one puffy red eye she started speaking.
"If you ever want to talk, you better sit down and start rubbing my back again," she mumbled. Chuckling I sat back down looking over at Daphne's turned face waiting for her to start speaking before I rubbed her back. "You better start first to warm me up." Once again laughing I just started rubbing her back.
She was wearing the same thing as Astoria the only difference was her was an emerald color almost I thought amusedly the color of my eyes.
"Did you plan on wearing that shirt today or is that just your favorite one you have," I said jokingly.
"It's my favorite because it reminds me of you, you idiot. Their I threw the gauntlet now you go next," she said then quickly burrowing back into her pillows.
Actually seeing emotion from my childhood friend and one that was with a kind connotation warmed me right up.
"Well aren't we bold now. If we are going to make a game of it how about we ask each other questions and the other answers."
"M'kay" she said and then turned her head again.
"Well Daphne how do you feel about our marriage contract?"
"Harry how do you feel about being controlled? Because however you feel I'm the same. We have lived our whole lives freely just to be told you and you go together like we are a puzzle. Harry I like you. Everything life throws at you, you just get back up and grow taller. I tried so hard that first day to hate you. I really did. I couldn't, I couldn't even let my sister get near you just in case you ever came around again."
That one little piece conversation explained so much but I still had a question but first I had to answer hers.
"Daphne when your controlled by someone it's the worst feeling you can have. Knowing you have no say in a situation and being forced to play puppet for people. No one deserves it. But, if you like me what's the matter with our contract?"
"Harry you are quite literally the walking combination of my worst and best memories of my life. Every time I see you Harry it gives me so much joy, but then I remember I can't show emotion to anybody. Harry I've only let 2 new people inside my heart that's it. At least you have some friends and whole families you can trust right?"
With that I have a bitter laugh.
"If only it were that simple Daph. Here is my question, why am I here when I should be at my Aunt's house like the paper says?"
Daphne then put on a face I remembered quite well. Eyebrows scrunched and nose wrinkled it was possibly the cutest thing on Earth. When she found the answer her eyes brightened.
"You escaped," she said getting closer and whispering it in my ear.
"You escaped because whatever you found in the DoM and then Dumbledore told you what it was. And you obviously weren't to happy with it."
"Not quite right. If we are going to be together then you need to know it was a prophecy by our local nutcase Sybill Trelawney saying only Voldemort or I could live. The other part that happened was while my magic was having a meltdown Dumbledore's diary slammed into my head. Due to it being a magical one with all his memories up to that day and my magic going crazy, I absorbed all his memories of what had to do about me because that was what the diary was about all the way back to him interviewing children to manipulate me with.
Daphne was speechless then finally said,
"What?"
Ok short version. I left because I was betrayed by my friends who were recruited to manipulate me. The reason why/how I figured out was my magic taking down barriers placed by Dumbledore because of my emotions getting out of control. Due to the instability I broke numerous things finding Albus's diary because it hit my head. The magics interacted causing me to absorb it. Everything Albus did to me I found out.
All the instability was due to Sirius dying and Sybill Trelawney made a prophecy saying only Voldemort or I could live.
Hearing that last part Daphne started laughing.
"If you think for one second she is a seer then I have another thing to tell you. My grandma is one of the old seers before our time. We don't have any relation but we call her grandma. We are in this together so at some time we need to check the credibility of this so called prophecy."
8:00 to 11:00
Daphne was back in full swing of the Daphne I remembered. Just like her dad it was like a dam had burst and she was non-stop like a motor. By the end of the day (11 pm) she had her head on my shoulder while our backs were to the wall(her bed was lined up so it was in one of the corners of her room. Left side of the bed was the wall).
" I need to get going I'll see you tomorrow right."
"Of course silly. You better come back because I'll hunt you down. I just got you back I'm not letting you leave me." Daphne finished seriously.
"Harry you can stay the night I one of our spare rooms if you want."
Thinking spending the night in another hotel wasn't such a good idea I said yeah.
"Ok follow me," getting to an empty room I turned around.
"Thanks for giving me another chance Daphne."
"No problem Har-"
Leaning forward and kissing her I turned around and started walking to the bed. Getting in bed and looking back I see Daphne holding her lips.
"Goodnight Daph."
"Um yeah night Harry,"then dashing out of the door to her room.
Soon I heard the 3 girls come upstairs and started hearing girlish shrieks and laughter. Turning my light out I rolled over and closed my eyes.
AN:
Next two days Harry spends some time with the girls. Harry has a lead about the reality of the prophecy or not. And some other things. Review favorite answer the poll what ever. If I'm making you happy keep on reading.
