Chapter ten
'Do you want me to put your memories back Harry?' Neville asked.
'It's Salic, but no, I can do it,' Harry took the vials and put them in his pocket, 'I'm going home to change.'
'We'll come with you just to make sure you don't change your mind,' Ron raised his eyebrows.
'Fine, anyway, it's been amusing, hope you get whoever did this, then give him a medal,' Salic turned and walked away with Hermione and Ron hurrying to catch up to him.
'I can't believe what happened.'
'It seems we were wrong Gawain and it wasn't Harry. We can't get him for what he did to his relatives, their muggles. They can't be prosecuted by us if they do anything to a witch or wizard, we can't use what Harry did to them because their muggles. So it looks like you have to find out who killed them, if you do, let me know,' Kingsley walked away from the group of aurors who were looking at everyone else all wondering what the hell happened.
Harry was upstairs in his room, he showered and changed, then walked downstairs again.
'I thought you wanted to change,' Hermione said.
'I did, these aren't the same clothes. So let's get this dinner over then.'
Ron glanced at Hermione who glanced at him before they left the house with Harry and headed to the Burrow. They stepped inside and everyone looked at Harry who stood against the wall.
'It's good to see you again Harry,' Arthur said cautiously.
'Yep,' Harry glanced around at everyone, his eyes locked with Malfoy. Harry's lips turned up slightly but it wasn't a smile but a very sadistic sneer.
'I have something I would like to say Harry,' Ginny said stiffly.
'I change my name to Salic Krubis, but go ahead.'
'I do not have bad taste; I've never had bad taste.'
'You married a death eater and a ferret,' Harry moved his hand and a pure white ferret was sitting on the chair where Draco had been sitting. Ron laughed; Hermione tried not to, then elbowed him in the ribs.
'Turn him back Harry,' Arthur said.
Harry shrugged, then moved his hand again, 'It suits him and it's Salic, how many times to I have to say it.'
'Don't ever do that again Potter,' Draco snarled.
Harry stood straight and glared dangerously at Malfoy making him shrink back and look again.
'Why don't you sit Harry,' Molly said.
'Salic, not Harry.'
'So Salic Krubis, Sirius Black, right?' Hermione stared at Harry.
'Sirius, what are you on about Hermione?' Ron asked.
'Still miss no it all aren't you Hermione.'
'Don't call me that Harry.'
'Salic, how many times do I have to say it.'
'Fine Salic,' Hermione snapped.
'Now what has Sirius got to do with Harry or Salic?' Ron asked.
'Salic Krubis is an anagram of Sirius Black,' Hermione explained, 'Very clever,' all Harry did was shrug.
'You never answered me before…Salic,' Ginny said through gritted teeth.
Harry slowly got up and walked over to Ginny then leant right over her, staring down into her eyes ignoring everyone.
'You went out with dean, a wimp, me when I was nothing more than a skinny kid that wore glasses and I happen to be the chosen one, now the ferret, I think that shows you have no taste red. I'm different today, want to take me on now, might show you have better taste and you'll definitely enjoy yourself.'
'She's my wife,' Draco snapped.
Harry ignored Malfoy and kept gazing down at Ginny, 'What do you know, your pupils have dilated, you're breathing spiked and your nipples hardened, seems I just turned you on red, I bet anything that you're wet right now. I might prefer blokes, but you look like you've got a sexy body under all those clothes, care to show me?'
'Harry, sit down and leave Ginny alone, she's a married woman,' Arthur said sternly.
'Married or not, she wants me,' Harry moved to Fleur, 'Remember that kiss Fleur, I do. You might be part veela, which doesn't affect me anymore but I seem to affect woman,' Harry gazed into Fleur's eyes, 'Oh another one that just got turned on, I wonder if all the woman here will.'
'Stay away from my wife Harry.' Bill snapped.
'Don't try it Harry, now sit down,' Ron said.
'Blimey, you're no fun Ron,' Harry sat beside Charlie and started talking in a strange language. Everyone noticed Charlie looked shocked then answered in the same language Harry was speaking.
'That is very rude,' Molly said.
'What language is that?' Hermione asked.
'Russian,' Charlie said but kept gazing at Harry.
'Yeah, met this bloke who taught me, then I find out he's a friend of Charlie's, an unusual and strange friend. We became strange friends for a while, do you want to be my strange friend Charlie?'
'Shut it Harry.'
Salic laughed, but it wasn't an amused laugh, it was a cruel sarcastic laugh. Everyone around the table looked from Charlie to Harry, Charlie had looked away even though Salic kept staring at him.
'Let's have a drink,' Salic pulled out three bottles from his long coat, 'Take your pick, I'll have vodka,' Harry moved his hand and glasses flew onto the table, Harry poured a large one for himself, knocked that back then poured another, 'Go on, drink.'
'I think everyone should eat before having a drink of such strong alcohol, don't you…Salic?' Arthur said.
'If you want, I drink whenever the mood takes me and it takes me all the time,' Salic sat there sipping his drink then Charlie jumped suddenly from his seat.
'What's wrong Charlie?' Molly asked.
'Nothing, I'll be right back,' Charlie glared at Harry before hurrying away.
'Did you do something to him?' Percy asked as he stared at Harry.
'Nope, so who's the woman Percy?'
'My wife, Audrey, Audrey, Harry Potter.'
'Salic Krubis,' Harry said sounding bored, 'So George, you married Angelina, didn't she date Fred?'
'I went to the yule ball with Fred because George never got around to asking me,' Angelina said.
'Fair enough, so all of you are paired up except Charlie, I thought Molly would have made him marry some woman by now.'
'Charlie will always be a bachelor, he likes to company of different woman, I've accepted that.'
Harry nodded, 'If that's what he tells everyone.'
'You couldn't keep it shut could you Harry, that wasn't anyone's business but mine,' Charlie said angrily as he stepped into the kitchen.
'I didn't say a thing Charlie boy, so why are you so paranoid?'
'Excuse me, I need to speak with Salic,' a voice said from the door.
'Gabriel,' Harry hurried over, kissed the man, 'What are you doing here?'
'Let's talk,' Gabriel took Harry's hand and they stepped outside but every person in the kitchen stood and stared out the window at Harry and this strange man that Harry seemed to know intimately by the way they kissed. They noticed Harry looked concerned but the other man seemed calm and relaxed. After a few minutes Harry nodded and seemed to relax.
'Gabriel, that name rings a bell,' Hermione said.
'Gabriel might not be very common but there's bound to be a few around,' Ron said.
'I remember, Sirius was telling Harry about a friend of his, Gabriel Horthorn. He told Harry his friend had to leave the country, this happened just before the Potters were killed and he looks the right age, so maybe that's him.'
'You're memory is seriously freaky Hermione. Aurors are trained to remember but I don't remember half the things Sirius told Harry. Oh their coming back,' everyone moved back to the table.
'I can't stay.'
'Harry, I'm sure you and your friend can spare some time to eat, invite him in,' Arthur said.
Harry looked at Gabriel who nodded, so they both sat down, Harry keeping his hand on Gabriel's leg and everyone noticed they seemed very close, closer than just friends.
