Author's rant-The disclaimer has already been said so I am not repeating it. Other than that THANK YOU for the reviews and PMs to everyone and to the followers...I just wasn't able to stop myself and so here's a new chapter alongwith the answers to a few questions-
Devil5- About the past life part, sorry man but haven't planned on it yet. I can do a prequel but it will mostly be like the ones already out there with Harry doing his 7th year, finishing his NEWTS and then joining Auror Academy and successfully reaching up the levels of Head Auror. Although this chapter will give you a day-to-day life of the Potters. Thanks for the review. Hopong to hear more.
soniasingh25150- Your point is correct and that's why I am clearly stating it here "Harry is NOT cold to his parents because they ignored him in favour of WBWL. Theres a really different and much more painful reason for him being cold to EVERYONE." Also yes I am trying to write more but I am using an Android smartphone and it's kinda annoying with the touch keypad. Still I will try to lengthen up my future chapters. Thanks again for the review, hoping to hear more.
And to my guest reviewer thanks to you too man, will try to elongate my chapters.
I am still not blessed with a beta so please bear with me and my mistakes. Also if anyone is interested in beta reading my chapters then do PM me. I need your help!
Now without any further say let's begin with the chapter-
"I am talking"
'I am thinking'
Spells
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
...If opportunity doesn't knock, build a NEW door...

The very next day Daphne contacted the best detective on British Isles who 'coincidentally' was someone whom she already knew and had worked with- Mr. Jacob Johnson, brother of the former chaser of Tutshill Tornadoes and Gryffindor Quidditch team Angelina Johnson.
The door to the pub opened and in stepped a 6ft tall man with a lean fit body, his skin colour was chocolaty and he was wearing a simple black robe with high dragonhide boots that clucked in a melody with the hardwood floor. He scanned the pub behind his charmed sunglasses and found his client and former partner sitting in a corner with a cup of tea. She didn't gave any signs of noticing him or called him and neither was he needing any so he just gave a grin and took the empty chair in front of the lady. Daphne for her part immediately waved her wand and errected notice-me-not, silencing and other privacy wards while he just sat there and smiled.
"You know I have runes in my clothes just for those Ward's right?" He asked with a quirked eyebrow trying to look offended but his smile was a big give away.
Daphne just nodded as she placed her wand back " yes but my Ward's are way much better than yours." Her voice was as cool as he heard it then.
"Oooh! The vixen is back!" He immediately leaned forward with childish gleam in his brown eyes " tell me did Mr. Potter cross his boundaries?"
Daphne wanted to slap him and shout NO! But she stopped and contemplated because with all due respect Harry had crossed his boundaries, no wife would want to see her husband with his former girlfriend in that position. So she slowly nodded "One, but this isn't about him. This is about the person he crossed it for."
Jacob went back to his seat seeing Daphne was not in a mood for a PJ. "Who?"
Daphne gave a really evil smirk which will be copied by Jacob as soon as he heard his target "Ginerva Molly Weasley."
True enough the smirk was copied and Jacob gave a childish clap "oooh...Did the ickle wickle Ginny harm the baddy-baddy Daphne Potter? I am sure she is in for a big thing then." The he went back professional "so what do you want on my most favorite Weasley?"
Daphne pulled out a small moleskin pouch, placed it on the table and with the iciest cold voice anyone would have heard from her in decades said her finals with the detective, "Everything."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
For the next one month Harry kept up with his play and Daphne too never said anything cause she knew Jacob was at work, instead she chose those moments to meet him and discuss whatever he got from the outer sources and his logical conclusions before he goes in for the final kill and directly confronts her.
Today was their last meet, Daphne will give Jacob the final amount and he will give her his file and tell her whatever he got till date. So as soon as the clock struck 11 she flooed straight to the Leaky Cauldron and found him in their usual corner. This time just as she reached Jacob was the one to errect the privacy Wards.
"Welcome back Madame" Jacob greeted her with a cheeky grin and she just stared with bored eyes.
"Got everything?" She asked with her ever cool persona and he couldn't do a thing but sigh 'so much for working together again...Well a man could hope' then without a word he pulled a cardboard file out and placed it on the table Daphne took the file and began rummaging through it while he started giving her a brief report.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Ginny?" Harry's voice boomed and resonated through the walls of the said chaser's new home and soon enough the said ex chaser was Infront of him with a pleasant smile.
"What's it Harry? You look quite joyfull right now anything special?" She asked as she gave him a small kiss on his cheek.
Harry instead of replying gave her a stack of parchments and went towards the couch where he could relax while she read them.
Ginny's eyes widened to comical proportions, "you will really do that just for me? You are really giving her a magical divorce just for me?" She asked him with a childish squeal and as he nodded she jumped to hug him. This wasn't her plan but the new wizengamot laws prevented her original one. According to the new laws- One wizard no matter he is a lord, heir or just a member could only have one wife for the sake of removing the inbreeding that was there cause some lords and concubines and married the offsprings to each other. The second was a wife needed to be with her husband for at least one year and have a child with him to get her hands on the family fortune, it was really bad and Ginny thought to stop her plans for Harry but the Potter family fortune mixed with the Black one was just too much to resist.
"Not only for you Gin, I did this for her too. I just can't cheat on her anymore. It's really rude of me to behave as I am behaving right now with her and this is one of the reason I want us both to be free. Hope she sees the reasoning too." He said the last with a quite tone because even with everything he just somehow can't cheat on her.
Ginny gave a small smile as she cuddled with Harry " Don't worry Harry she will." 'She has to'
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
That night Daphne reached her house with mind full of facts - Ginny Weasley was extending her time as a player on the team by seducing the sponsors and coaches. In the end her bad play won and she was officially retired from the team. She stayed in the states and applied for other teams or positions but her bad form on the pitch just denied her. She even went as far as to blackmail her former lovers but some just weren't touchable by the law or were too powerful to bring her down instead of succumbing to her desires. This was the reason she finally acted through her plan of -Welcome back to England. She had seduced Harry and as per Jacob will soon be asking him to divorce Daphne (her) after which she will marry Harry and become the Lady Potter. Then after Harry impregnates her and her year long tenure is fulfilled she will ditch him and run of to her real lover Dean Thomas with Half the Potter and Black family gold. Daphne really thought how the hell did such a devious little mind survive the brash Gryffindorness in their school days.
Just as Daphne stepped out from her floor her eyes widened and all the colour left her face as she saw smoke arise from the closed kitchen door. She dropped the file there and ran towards the kitchen. She tried the door knob but seeing it locked she whipped her wand out and a very powerful Alohomora later that broke opened the lock she was in the kitchen the scene in front froze her and made her smile. After years of isolating his once favorite place her husband, her dearest husband was back in the kitchen cooking Merlin knows what but it smelled really delicious. She went and switched on the charmed chimney exhaust fans this was his habit he always forgot to switch them on or maybe he didn't know how to but he won't ever admit it.
"What's it dear husband of mine? It smells delicious." Daphne said as she smelled the aroma vapours and hummed in delight. Harry just laughed and forced her to sit in the dining chair he had decorated with an unlighted candle and China crockery set. "Just a few seconds and you'll get your answers dear wife of mine." He said and turned back to attend to his rice for his sizzlers. In truth Harry was cooking for her because he saw this as his way of repaying the woman who helped him with his shitty life. This was sorts of a promise to be friend even if they can't be family.
That night Daphne really had a really delicious dinner and chatted everything and anything that she could with him...Harry was a firm believer of spicing his love life and so every now and then would end up taking Daphne to a date...At first she was a bit shocked since they were husband and wife but he just shrugged and said "so what? It's not like the place we are visiting has a board saying 'married couples not allowed' " after that they went on a date every month and on a vacation every year...The most joyfull moments of her life.
Harry didn't want to break the happy mood so he decided to bring out the divorce papers the next morning and instead ended up carrying a tipsy Daphne bridal style to their room. He would do everything with Ginny but he knew that deep down he WILL miss the ice queen.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
It was late in the night when Harry suddenly remembered that the exhaust chimney fans were still on he could have placed it to switch them off the next morning but better safe than never plus he could have a cool glass of water and use washroom a bit. So he got up and went to do his nightly duties planning on cuddling up with Daphne as soon as he comes back. This was his last night with her after all.
Just as he was about to switch off the lights again and move upstairs to his room something caught his eagle eye... Something which should not be there. He went off to the fireplace and picked up the green cardboard file and openned it since he never saw either him or Daphne with this file.
By the end of it Harry saw RED...Ginny the dear cute little Ginny was..."UGH!" He really hated himself, he really just wanted to kill that bitch but he had to restrain...It won't help his career plus where would Daphne go? And then guilt smashed him again...His wife had again shown her perseverance with him and he was just going to divorce her? He calmed down with a single thought that nothing has been spoils yet and everything could change back to like it was before Gin- the slut's arrival. He promised himself to apologise to Daphne and make unit up anyhow possible plus he also had to tear up those bloody divorce papers too but right now... Harry turned towards the floo checked his wand that he always had with him...A bit paranoia? Yes. But war habbits die hard. He took a handful of floo power and stepped in announcing his words clearly "GINNY'S ABODE!"
Ending note- So there you have it, another chapter and the last before the final confrontations...Excited? Got any ideas to share?
