Owner of happiness
Chapter 1
"Wake'p Harry! Wake wake !" A parrot sang.
The sound of the bird echoing around in the main chambers awoke Harry from his sleep.
He tried to ignore it,but the bird kept on.
Harry grasped without moving his head from the pillow,his wand and throw a cloth on the bird to shut him.
"Harry!" a soft female voice called him.
Harry this time couldn't avoid it so he hummed.
"Honey,wake up!" the voice called again.
He mumbled words that he too did not understand and sauntered out of bed.
Feeling some ache in his back,he rubbed it before moving across the room.
His eyes barely opened,he blinked a few times, spotting some clothes thrown everywhere.
Sometimes he forgets that he was a mage.
He went to lift them up and turned his attention to the annoying bird.
"Alright, Hercules,I'm up,"
He heard his wife singing from the shower while he was feeding the bird.
"Harry, idiot,wake up, idiot,"
"Don't start and please respect yourself," he replied.
He heard soft steps coming out of bathroom
As his wife came out drying her hair while she was in a bathrobe robe.
"Bonjour,Harry!"
"Bonjour,heart and soul of this Harry," he returned smoothly as he approached her."Oh, the sweetest lady in all of Britain and the new Europe"
"It seems,my love didn't get tired yet of last night,";Daphne giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"From you!? Never!" he smirked, dropping his lips on her cheeks, moving to her ear and whispering.
"O fairest of them all," he whispered, huskily in her ear.
Daphne blushed and her eyes sparkled in his voice and giggled.
"But like John Donne says.." he teased her.
"Says what?" she asked.
Her face was glowing even as she was in herr fifties she looked twenty years younger.
Being a witch and its blessing.
"Come, Madam, come, all rest my powers defy,
Until I labour, I in labour lie.
The foe oft-times having the foe in sight,
Is tir'd with standing though he never fight.
Off with that girdle, like heaven's Zone glistering,
But a far fairer world encompassing …" he said huskily pulling her toward him , dropping chast kisses on her neck before moving down.
The bird screamed again,
"Damn you bloody bird!" he cursed as he pulled away from her.
Sometimes he wandered why was he so stupid to let Daphne have him in the first place,he preferred owls,and yet she wanted to have this time a parrot.
"Does he have to interrupt us, everytime!" he groaned at him.
"Now, don't swear in front of my Hercules please,he is so cute," she said, going to nuzzle him.
Harry rolled his eyes at how she treats the bird.
"He is like my son, so beautiful,".she said, patting the bird's head.
"Sweetheart listen,why don't we bring him a female and let him busy,this way he won't keep annoy us, keeping up with his life instead of ours," he suggested.
"Oh shut it, you just miss your old one, aren't you? she died nine months ago,besides this one is still new and adjusted very well ," she giggled, turning her back to him.
Harry rolled his eyes and moved away groaning at her.
Daphne jumped behind him and wrapped her arms around his midsection.
"Don't be mad! I will think about it," she kissed him.
Before pushing him into the shower "now off to shower,"
•••••••••••••••••••••••
Joy Weasley nee Potter was gawking like a teenager in love at her sweet Hugo while he was making the breakfast.
As the latter was showing off his skills in front of her,in his chef uniform.
"Eggs.." he ordered
Joy waved her wand and the eggs basket flowed in the air.
With another wave it broke into a plate and mixed on it's own before Hugo took it from her and poured it down the pan.
"Tomato,"he asked.
And she happily passed it to him.
"Dill.."
Hugo looked at the herb that she gave him and sighed "Dill not parsley."
Joy gasped searching for the specific herb"Oh sorry,dear!"
After he put it down,with a 'tut tut' of disappointment.
"salt ,"
Joy didn't need a wand to grasp it and hand it to him.
"Salt not sugar," he sighed again
Joy knitted her brows"it is a salt!",he smelled it and nodded "mushroom,"
He smelled the recipe and showed some irritation.
Joy became concerned but once he turned to her and smiled
Her face lightened, recognising another successful breakfast.
Daphne walked past the elves as she saw them prepare the table before bursting into the kitchen.
"Good morning Joy,good morning Hugo, haven't you finished yet?" her eyes scanned the unfinished food, seeing the stove still on fire.
"Good morning mom!What do you think of the smell, masterpiece!" Joy greeted, as Hugo lifted the pan for Daphne to smell.
Daphne smiled gently at the delicious aura.
Hugo announced humming about his new dish "Eggs with leprechaun plum " he leaned closer to his mother in law "And the sauce is a different level,"
"Well done,creative,Hugo!" she laughed before turning completely serious, "but you need to be quick,the children are up,and they have an exam," she stricted them.
He saluted her like a soldier "Four minutes and you'll find us at the table !".
She gave him an encouraging nod and left smiling.
Hugo turned to his wife and said " tomorrow it will be an egg with Black fairy pepper,three minutes and half left,come on !" He yelled and his wife started running around the kitchen.
••••••••••••••••••••••
In James jr room,
However James woke up screaming in panic from a terrible nightmare "dear Godric,oh soul of the snitch!" he prayed, patting his heart from having an attack,"Dear sword of gryffindor."
Mavis woke up panicked and moved by reflex to the water by her bedsides and gave it to him.
"Wh– what's going on?" Mavis wandered around,pale and panicked.
"I had a terrible nightmare,Mavis!" he cried out
"Dreamt of what?"
"I dreamed that the bats scored three goals,all at once,"
"And Bennet was guarding?" Mavis gasped.
"Yes, Mavis, but he was standing,just standing, never remained standing on his broom, not knowing his front or his behind." he cried.
Mavis gulped scared and patted his back "don't worry jayjay ,it's just you haven't slept well, overthinking of today's match,"
"No no no ,that bloody keeper must be well prepared today,if he wasn't it would be a disaster!" he jumped, angry from bed.
Mavis jumped at him, grasping him from his collar and brought his lips to hers "we will win Today!we will rock that field,"
"Sometimes I think maybe I should have never left the team!" James whined.
Mavis's lips parted at his words,her eyes traveled to his shoulder where a scar was laying there.
Before a sharp slap hit James's face,he rubbed his cheek, and stared at her with puppy eyes
"Listen here! We are going to burn the bat's today, don't you dare cry like a little girl!" she snapped, clenching her fists in his shirt.
James nodded instantly, with a fire of excitement rising in him.
Daphne knocked on their bedroom and asked if they woke up, knowing the couple they are probably preparing for the quidditch game had completely forgotten about the children.
"Get up, quickly so you iron the children's uniforms,the elves are busy doing it!" Daphne called
"Okay!" Mavis whined.
If there was one strict rule Harry teached both his wife and children was that they should not rely on the elves to do everything.
It was hard for Daphne at first to do housekeeping but with Harry's guidance.
It turned well.
So Mavis moved down the house to the living room,to start her task.
Hugo was finishing the last touches on the breakfast table as he saw Mavis ironing the clothes while watching some cooking show on the television.
Since Harry wanted his house to be more open there was no wall between the dining and living room.
He went over to her still holding his new found plate in his hand and asked her.
"Who is this man?" Hugo asked, pointing at the television.
Mavis glanced between him and the TV and smiled.
"That one is chef Marco,he is known to be the best in all England,"
Hugo scoffed "The dish that he is making, I can make it with my smallest toe,"
Mavis tried to not roll her eyes and laugh in his face.
He turned, his nose in the air and walked back to the table" There is no gastronomy anymore".
Mavis was shaking from the rising giggles as she heard him.
The kids come running across the the room almost making Hugo drop his plate.
"Kids!No running in the rooms, it's bad!" Joy was screaming at them.
She went to her husband apologizing "it's okay dear,I told them many times,they almost made you drop your new invention,but kids are kids" she sighed.
Hugo laughed "no! no problem at all,One of the most important features of the chef is holding the plate. That turns out a true chef wrong. Not like the ones who are shown on TV" he made sure to say the last one,clear and loud for Mavis to her.
He started laughing with some was an issue that no one would understand. The fulcrum of the finger on the back of the plate is the difference between chef and another.
He glanced sharply at Mavis,that traitor how far she watch another cook chef while there was another one within this house!
"Hugo!" Harry called from above looking down, causing Hugo to jump off his place and drop the plate on the floor.
"Cook well, I'm very hungry, one minute and breakfast is ready. Understood!" Harry stricted.
Hugo nodded.
"I swear with your dad's life if you dare try something on me today, I will..." the elder of the house sighed. "Do me a favour and make something for the human stomach to endure," Harry walked away before hearing the complaints of his son in law.
Joy looked away, avoiding her husband's suspicious stare that he was sending in her direction.
Joy loves her husband so much that she sometimes lie to him,just not to hurt his feelings.
But sometimes her husband could invent the worst kind of foods.
" Human food?then what was I cook for you..."
Joy gave him a weak smile.
"Come one joy,they will never understand in art,"
"Come on," she nodded following him.
Meanwhile in the girls room…
Lara, the daughter of James was knocking unstoppable on the bathroom door.
"Sofie! get out ,you have been in there since forever,I'm going to call grandma!"
"Ooone minut," Sofie answered from the inside, Lara let out a groan and sat on the floor.
Sofie inside was pretty busy,the four year old girl stole her youngest aunt's makeup and was trying on her expensive lipstick.
In the boys room…
mostly not the same problem but...both Edgar and Tommy had been fighting against the locked door of the bathroom,as little Hunter was playing with his toys in the bubble bath.
Harry was humming,his mind in another dimension of relaxing, as he was reliving himself in the toilet of his bathroom.
His mood stopped as he heard another water on his toilet and he looked down to see Tommy pissing with him.
The curly sandy haired, with round cheeks was busy not caring that his grandpa was staring at him at that moment.
Harry may adore and love all his grandchildren equally,but Tommy was the mind of logic, sometimes the boy cames with the best solutions to the family matters.
And Harry loved sharing his thoughts with the boy.
But sharing his toilet as well,was a different thing.
"What is this, Tommy?" Harry asked, staring at space "will it go like this? Don't you have your own bathroom? Did It knotted here?" he raised his brows, using his disbelief tone.
Tommy sighed and rolled his eyes.
Harry pressed his lips together "This is a bathroom that is not a urinal!"
"I swear, Harry, I'm tired," Tommy told his grandpa.
"Tired of what Tommy?" Harry turned back to focus on himself while tugged his ear to his grandchild.
"I can't go to the bathroom, everyone comes in before me.. everyone in this house does whatever he wants!" he explained, furrowing his brows, sad.
"My goodness! I will try to solve this problem as soon as possible, don't worry," he promised, pulling his head back,and hummed a tone.
When Tommy giggled.
"However,you better point straight...try not to oil me, I just took a shower,"
Tommy started giggling again,and Harry looked down at his grandson with raised brow, confused.
'kids,' he sighed,tiredly.
•••••••••••••••
Lily was just returning from her morning jog and stopped When she found her mother staring at her from the balcony.
"Bonjour,lily!"
"Bonjour,mommy!"
"Get in,the breakfast is ready," Daphne said to her daughter.
"I had my breakfast before I went for a run," she smiled .
"Eating one apple , it's not a breakfast,you need to eat much more!" Daphne crossed her arms, displeased
"I need to lose five kg,mommy please," Lily begged,with puppy eyes.
"Good morning to the sweetest girl in the world!" Harry joined his wife on the balcony.
"Good morning to the sweetest Harry in the world!" Lily smiled, crinkling her eyes and nose.
Harry looked at his wife who seemed annoyed and tilted his head in wonder.
"She doesn't want to have breakfast, saying that she is doing regime!" Daphne wrinkled her nose.
"Why not, let her go on a diet," Harry waved his hands.
Daphne rolled her eyes.
"Beautiful and attractive, she must maintain her beauty, Does beauty come easily? ask me, I am the one who knows this best, beauty needs to work out too."
Lily covered her face with her hands, trouble maintaining eye contact with her parents,who were arguing about beauty and health.
"Keep spoiling her,until she won't like anything or anyone," Daphne hit him with her elbow.
Lily tried not to laugh,her parents could be open minded and very awkward sometimes.
"My daughter is like the moon. Leave her be, she has the right to stipulate," Harry crossed his hands,and wrinkled his nose.
Daphne pressed her lips together,not to argue any further, she calmed then looked down at Harry's khaki pants.
"What's is that,why are oiled with water?" she raised an eyebrow, smirking at him,evilly.
Harry followed her stare, innocently down his pants.
"I swear this is not me," Harry paled.
Daphne shook off laughter at him "it's Tommy,that troublesome..."he started muttering under his lips "You go down first I will join in a second," he said.
He turned to his daughter and sent her a kiss in the air and she sent one in return.
"Do just like you want,the sweetest of the moon," Harry praised her before leaving.
Lily grinned happily.
…
Harry later joined the family at the table after changing his pants.
"It seems you overdone yourself this time, Hugo,I can smell it from upstairs," Harry praised Hugo,as he scanned the table.
"Good morning children!" he said.
"Morning Harry!" Everyone greeted him.
Lily joined holding a rose.
"Good morning Daddy!" she said giving him the rose and kissing his cheek.
"Good morning sweetheart,add one another," he said to his daughter, turning his other cheek to her.
She laughed and gave him one.
"Sit and eat,"he said to her.
"I will drink tea,".she replied,she could not say no to Harry no matter what.
"where is Albus?"He hummed.
"He had an early shift this morning in radio,he went before dawn," Daphne answered,as she was preparing his toast for him, while her wand waved for the tea pot.
"That boy is overworking himself," he massaged his temple "did he have breakfast?"
"He will be at the station,"Daphne smiled at her husband,no matter how old the children he was always carrying to them.
"Emily and Luigi?" he asked.
"I knocked on them earlier," Daphne answered.
Harry raised a brow.
"These two perhaps don't want to get up earlier," James smirked to his wife, Mavis hit him with her elbow.
"Respect yourself, stupid." Harry's brows knitted, sometimes his eldest could be stupid,and forgot the presence of children.
"Sorry Harry," James murmured.
"Go wake them up, today they have a concert," Harry tilted his head to Lily.
"By the way, there is a match today,going?" Harry asked James between his bites.
"Yes, Pops!" James exclaimed "Did you see the tackle we did in the game last time?"
"Excellent entry and the song is awesome! Who wrote it for you?"
"I did Pops!"
Harry nodded proudly at his son.
"Mom, I knocked on them ,and didn't open!" Lily said, apparating in front of her parents.
"What do you mean, knock hard!" Daphne yelled,her brows knitted in worry.
"I did!" Lily snapped.
"What the he- what's going," Harry frowned, and stood, leaving the table.
Everyone stood with him and followed behind him in a line.
He stepped in front of Emily's room and knocked gently "Open up,Emily,why are you locking the door!? You have a concert" he mentioned.
"Honey ,open it with your wand," Daphne squeezed his shoulder.
"No," he waved her off.
Before he was able to knock again.
The door opened and everyone gasped, freezed and stared with wide eyes and raised brows .
Emily was in tears and her mascara was all down her face.
"Sweetheart, what's happened!?" Daphne asked.
"Where is the Luigi boy?" Harry asked firmly.
Emily bursted in tears again as soon as her dad mentioned her husband's name,unable to talk.
"Honey,talk!" Daphne exclaimed.
"I can't talk mom*snif* I can't eat,you go and have breakfast and leave me okay*sniff*," she said softly between her cries.
"Where is your husband, Emily?" Harry asked with more authority.
"Luigi is gone. He left the house!" she yelled, exploding in cries.
"He did what!?" Everyone gasped,mouth covered their mouths.
"He packed his clothes and left,"
"Leaving the house! When?" Harry frowned.
"Yesterday, about two in the morning," she turned away.
"How did we not feel him?" Daphne furrowed her brows.
"Honey, we were..." he said in a hushed tone.
Daphne blushed and looked down and away.
"How can he leave without telling me?" Harry's jaw clenched.
"Did you fight?" Daphne asked in concern.
"Yes,mom! Luigi and I, are done,we can't stay together anymore," Emily bowed her head.
Another gasp from the crowd.
"Why would you say that,honey?" Daphne urged.
"Because he came out to cheat on me!" She snapped, running back into her room.
"He did what!?" They all snapped.
"That sneaky bastard," James gritted his teeth and his fists clenched.
"Enough!" Harry raised his arms in the air "From now one the subject is for adults only," he looked round "anyone who's under 17 year old leave… there is breakfast and exams and jobs..." he called, using his monotone voice.
"You go inside and know the details okay" he turned to Daphne and pushed her inside Emily's room .
"Okay" she nodded quickly.
"I want accurate details with evidence and documents." he demanded.
The girls followed Daphne from behind and so the men until Harry stopped them, grasping them from their collars.
"Where do you think you're going?" He gave them a fake smile.
"C-collec" Hugo stuttered.
"Evidence," James pointed at the door.
"leave,both of you," he pushed them both.
..
Daphne and the girls gasped at the chaos inside the room ,all the pictures were cut and the cello of Emily was broken.
Emily was on the bed crying and the girls jumped by her side comforting her.
Emily sat between joy and Mavis leaning over joy's shoulder and crying while her mother and lily where at the end of bed.
"Emily pull your shit together and explain to me,what made you two end into this?" Daphne inquired.
"There is nothing to explain mom,a page and now it's closed ,fuck him for all I care," she crossed her arms.
"Language!what do you mean it's over,have you lost your mind,what did Luigi do?" Daphne slapped the bed.
"Luigi proposed to another woman!" she cried out.
Everyone stopped in their tracks,shocked.
Daphne tried to smile thinking she misheard.
"P-proposed? How did you know?" Mavis questioned.
Emily inhaled deeply "I found the ring in his pocket,I thought it was meant to me! I waited and waited until I found it on her,then I found the divorce paper in his pocket! " She confessed, running to the bathroom.
All the girls followed her.
"How can he do that!" Joy snapped.
"When? Do you know her!?" Mavis frowned.
Emily turned to them "two weeks ago!"
"Why didn't you say something!?"
"I thought he was keeping in it for her or something,you knew how much he do favours to others,but I started feeling it,that feeling mom,he doesn't concentrate with me all the time zoning,and once we are home he sleeps without even touching me,when I found the paper, I wanted to fix things before it's gone,"
Daphne nodded trying to listen as he daughter explained.
"Then I saw him with her yesterday after our last rehearsal, flirting with her!...I talked with him and things went out of control and he left me!"
Joy hugged her sister while Mavis looked at Daphne for help.
"You are stupid, and you will always be stupid, a woman should always be alert to the change that happens with her husband... her brain must be an intelligence apparatus, antennae, an alarm bell...The first his eyes begin to look away must catch him...Not to sleep in honey while he is relaxing and having fun without caring!" Daphne said,her hands fisting into the sheets of the bed.
Meanwhile the men started having their breakfast with the children.
"I want you to eat well,and swallow well,we don't want any awful choking accident. Do we Hunter?" Harry advised, courteously.
Hunter looked up at his grandpa and nodded smiling.
"Now so we could leave for school earlier,and focus on our exams," he declares, smoothly.
He needed to calm down the children and not let them get affected by this morning's problem.
The children smiled and went over their food.
"I don't want to focus on them Harry!I can't," Lara frowned.
"And why can't you?" Harry wondered.
"How can we!?after what happened to aunt Emily,"
"I agree with my daughter,Pops,how came you are so calm,it's you daughter!"James added.
"Just mind yourself," he paused and turned to Sophie "...And what did you do to your face? Are you a clown in a circus? Wash your face, you have an exam to focus on,"
"Harry, if you please, I want to say something?" Tommy asked.
"Say it, Tommy," Harry allowed.
"I wish you hadn't taken a quick stand from Uncle Luigi, what could have made him do so?" Tommy said, stroking imaginary beard "–Sometimes the boys make mistakes and the girls are the reason," Tommy sighed, disappointed.
'And since you are good and treat yourself as a social reformer, what made you fail all your previous exams?" Harry commented, sarcasm within his voice.
"Harry this is a point of view, this is an opinion." Tommy waved his hands.
"The boys are always like this and they make mistakes and they blame us girls, they will never change," Lara sighed.
"I wish they didn't exist," Sofie joined.
"Leave your opinion to yourself!" Tommy slammed the table.
"Respect yourself,I warn you," Lara snapped back at him.
"Are you going to hex me then?" He turned sharply at her
"watch yourselves, no one is patronising you anymore,If I allow democracy in this house does not mean that this house does not have its master," Harry scolded them.
"Now finish your damn breakfast so you go to school!"
"Harry,!" Daphne screamed from upstairs.
"What is it?"
"Come and see the disaster we fell at it,"
"What!?" Harry stood.
Once again everyone stood up with him but he stopped them with a sharp glancr "you stay and finish your breakfast," he pointed at both men and children.
"And you ,I want to find you in all your seats in the car,"he pointed at the kids.
"what happened here!?" Harry entered the room and looked around, massive Chaos.
"The git that married our daughter and entered our house and lived between us is going to marry the other woman," Daphne slapped her hands on her thighs.
Emily looked down, ashamed of her dad.
"What! the Luigi boy would never," Harry's eyes widened and looked at his daughter who nodded to confirm.
"The bastard was going out with the woman for a month and proposed to her two weeks ago, Emil found divorce papers in his pocket!" Daphne started cursing.
"But that's not right,who reached you to search within your husband's stuff'" Harry pouted.
"Harry!" Daphne snapped at him.
"I will not let this pass,I will not overlook it,I swear with my mother's life in her grave I will not let him live for it,the bastard,cheater son of bitch!" Daphne declared,with a steady eye contact and raised eyebrows.
Harry and the girls jumped at her outburst.
"Call our lawyer,this shit should be thrown is azkaban!Our daughter will take her right!" Daphne squeezed her fist at her husband,who backed a step from her rage
"Wait a minute Daphne,we should see both sides first,one paper is not proof yet,"Harry titled his head.
Emily huffed,and looked away from her father, crossed arms
"This is not the time for this ridiculousness!"
"Daphne."
Daphne looked away.
"Do you know her?" Harry asked his daughter, calmly.
"A singer from the opera,"Daphne replied.
"You little player," Harry said under his breath.
Daphne tilted her head.
"This is very, very defective Luigi, wait ...The strings are starting to connect in my mind now.
He was taking some tonics and steroids from me and I was giving him to encourage his inner activity." Harry slammed his forehead.
"But it seems that this is for external activity.
The boy Luigi came out as a double agent.
But my mother's life will not leave him alone today!"
"What will you do?" Daphne inquired.
"I cannot see my daughter suffer in front of my eyes, it is enough for what happened to Albus and what she did to him and to us!" Daphne's face became red.
"Have we been cursed?" Mavis whispered to Joy in a quiet voice.
Joy shrugged her, focusing on her parents.
"Look, Daphne, issues like this, women should not interfere with them, this is the work of men among them."
"Tonight this will be solved, I will finish it.
By law, by force, by lack of manners, by bullying…It will be a dark night for him and for the one who has birthed him, no one who break my daughter's heart and survive." Harry announced with determination.
"I will ask you one thing, I don't want you to speak about this," he pointed at them.
