All cheers erupted from all houses, cheered for Harry, who gulping down an ingenious potion by Severus Snape who allowed someone to breathe within the water, like gillyweed but without webs hands.
"The Second Task is to save people who are the precious person or may I say the most favorable person of the champions. They must save their dearest one within an hour, or else, their dearest one may be in peril danger." Harry's eyes widen, cursing under his breath. The little champion now that the person who is captured for his task is Marcus, the one who he brings to the ball.
As soon as the sign released, Harry dove quickly to the water, leaving behind Cedric, Fleur, and Krum who cast bubble charms head and doing transfiguration first before following Harry's trail.
within the deep of the black lake, Harry hissed when something scratches his skin, leaving angry marks near his navel. He turns his head only to look through Gryndillow's sharp teeth.
"ρίξτε και παγώστε!" screamed Harry on the top of his lungs, banished the Gryndillow to the bottom of the lake, and bound it to the nearest coral, so the Gryndillow can't even lift its finger...er.. claw.
Moving ahead, swimming, which seemed like hours, Harry finally reached the circle where the captives held.
His eyes widen when he saw Bill's form, his legs were tied so he wouldn't float to the surface. He was right next to Marcus, he just went to Bill when one of the merpeople hissed angrily at him, pointed its sharp tridents at him.
"Just one!"
Great, thought Harry grumpily. Of course, Bill was Fleur's, not his, thought him bitterly. but despite his bitter feeling, he insisted on waiting until Fleur came, letting Cedric who freed Seamus, waiting on Harry, confused, but Harry just sighs, and inclined his head to the lake surface, while pointing at Bill. Finally, Cedric swims away, while his hand circled around Seamus's waist protectively. While Krum suddenly appeared, with a bloody shark had, and rescue Hermione. He also waits at Harry first, but the kitten animagus just being stubborn and insist to wait for Fleur.
He cast tempus and cursing, the time limit almost finished, so he slashed his wand to the which tied Marcus and Bill's feet and swim with all of his might to the lake surface. Burned feelings that suddenly appear in his lungs make him panic, it's one of the signs that the potion effect began to fade. Using his last energy, he pushes Marcus and Bill to the lake surface, while he blackened and floats for a moment.
When he regained his senses in a split second, he tried to swim to the lake surface but suddenly, a group of Gryndillows attacks him. They surround him, crush him within their claws, before he blew they up with electric stinging hex, and they scampered away
Harry cursing when the potion effect nearly fade, his lungs burn in a painful way, he nearly lost all of his consciousness before he screamed one of the spells that popped out in his mind,
"A-scendio!"
When Cedric appears with Seamus, all of the Hogwarts students cheered, celebrating the Puffs Champion, meanwhile he brought Seamus who still coughing to his chest and swimming to the deck.
Five minutes later, Krum appears on the lake surface with a shark head back to normal when the crowd cheered and guides Hermione to swim back to the deck. Minute by minute pass, Hermione and Ron who joined hands now pacing, panic in their eyes, same as the twin and Severus who keep checking his pocket watch.
Hermione who pacing suddenly when still and narrowed her eyes at one figured who she loath,
"Excuse me? Why Fleur in here?! She supposed to save her captives!" Fleur snapped her eyes from the lake to Hermione,
"I'm attacked by Gryndillow if that can answer your question!" Hermione and the other's eyes widen in surprise because when Bill's around, Fleur never spat like that to everyone.
"Merlin balls! Harry wait for you down there!" yells Cedric unbelievable.
"Why?" asked Fleur shamelessly,
"Because he waits for you to save Bill down there!"
"What?!" Fleur's eyes widen, she snapped her head to her headmistress accusingly.
"Ah." something click in Draco's mind.
"What?" asked Adrian Pucey.
"That veela bitch thought that her headmistress will offer someone as a captive, someone who meant nothing for Delacour."
"What the hell!"
"Wait, Look!" just when the clock strikes, indicating the timeout has passed, two figures appeared on the surface of the lake, all of Gryffindor and Slytherins cheered, booming their voices for Harry, only the case, when the two figures swim to the deck the cheered died down when they realized one of the figures, not Harry but Bill Weasley
"What the-"
"Where's Harry!"
"Bill, Where's Harry!" screamed Hermione.
"What, I thought-" Bill said, confused, meanwhile Marcus who float in the water next the him grunted on his response.
"You thought?! My cousin down there, you stupid fool! He just saves your life!" screamed Draco angrily, flush staining his cheeks.
"What, but Fleur-"
"Oh, cut it out weazel, she attacked by Gryndillow so can't continue her task, where's Harry?!"
All of Hogwarts student starting to buzzing, Severus who retained by Minerva and Flitwick nearly jumped to the lake to look for his son when someone threw out of the lake to the deck, coughing and shivering, sputtering some water,
"Harry!"
"Harry!"
"Potty!"
"Mate!"
Severus, Hermione, Ron, the twins, Draco and Marcus rushed to Harry, wrapping him in the charming warm towel, before Severus exhale shakily, gathered his son to his arm, and rock him gently.
Harry still panting when when fingers grip his arm until he nearly winced, he opens his eyes and locks his eyes at Fleur's orbs who blazing with fire, despite her grateful face.
"Zank you! You saved him! You save my boyfriend! even though he is not yours!"
"It's alright Fleur."
The brunette moves his eyes to Bill's, longing in there before avoiding his gaze when he saw Fleur kiss him, his heart ripped to pieces, his eyes burning, despite the cheery crowd who whistling for Bill and Fleur.
"Papa, can we go back now? I-" whispered him before choked, nearly sobs. Severus glared at Fleur before nodding, wrapping Harry tightly in the towel, and effortlessly pick up his son into his arms, talk to Dumbledore, and step to the judges' boat, leaving the deck, but instead go back to the ground deck, he stirs it with his magic to the First Year's deck.
When the boat pulls over, he fleed, open the glass door, running to the dungeon staircases, down to his quarters, where Remus who had smiled panicked at seeing Harry state's. Severus stops him, moved to Harry's room. He dries his son and tended his wound, he applying ointment and salve to Harry's wound, bandaged it, before transfigured the swimming trunk into pair of silk pajamas, and give him a dreamless sleeping potion.
When the puffy emerald eyes flutter closed, he tucked his son with the warm silk blanket, before closing the door and exhale.
He looks into gold amber eyes that look at him with worried,
"It took all of my control not to strangle that veela bitch and Arthur Weasley idiot eldest son."
"Oh, dear."
"What the hell is wrong with your stupid brother, Weasley?! HE'S SO BLIND HOLY FUCKING MERLIN! CAN'T HE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MEANING OF HARRY'S EXPRESSION?!"
Winced hearing Draco's sharp tone Ron just sigh tiredly,
"I've told you, Malfoy."
"But Honestly! I'm sure that bitch used her veela's charm to allure your brother! I mean, he's a curse-breaker! There's no way in hell he's that blind!"
Stunned, Hermione and Ron stiffened, before they look at each other, widening their eyes.
"Of Course! I forgot that bitch is a half-veela! She must be used her veela's trait to charm Bill!" yell Hermione, slam closed the poor book she's read before.
"Oh great!" muttered Ron darkly.
"What is it?" asked Draco with a raised eyebrow.
"That explains why she spat everywhere she can but not when Bill's around."
"What do you mean?!"
"Don't you guys remember the veela at Quidditch tournament? When the veela fight with Lepecraum every person who dazed and pulled toward them suddenly aware of their surrounding, because the veela anger cut their charms away. The only person who didn't pull towards them only Harry, even the twin nearly jumped from the seats when they saw the veela!"
"Oh Merlin balls! We need to do something! I mean, really?! There must be something that can erased that bitch allure!" hissed Pansy with unlady like manner.
"Oh come on Granger! Do something, there is a million of information inside that pretty head of you, so you should find the solution!"
Hermione slap Blaise arm and glared him playfully, shrugging her head, while Blaise just looked sheepishly at her while Neville and Theo chidded him gently.
The tapping noise from every fingers in the cozy room finally make Draco annoyed and nearly snapped when idea suddenlly struck Draco's head, he just wants to open his mouth when a silvery-white wolf patronus burst through the wall of the Room of Requirement,
"We can't find Harry. He's not in his room when Severus and I went back from the staff room. It's nearly curfew, please help us looking for him, any possible place you can find. Please contact us if you find him because his wound still needs treatment."
Their eyes widen before they scampered away, raced to the ROR exit door.
"We split! Blaise, Theo, and Neville you search to the north wings! Fred, George, Pansy West, Draco, you, Ron, and I gonna have a little trip to the whomping willow."
Ron grimaced slightly when Hermione mention the whomping willow.
"What? WHAT?! You want to get us killed?! It practically smacked everything that went past it!" Draco blanched and shuddered, he love Harry but, being flatten to death by the blasted tree? Nope.
"Oh shut it ferret! Are you a wizard or not?"
"Oi!"
"Don't argued you imbecile, split up! NOW!" roared Pansy, before stomping away, leaving
Harry who walks slowly now charm the whooping willow, before slid towards the tunnel. He shakily half crawled, before finally open an old door. He welcomed by warmed and now the cozy living room and bedroom of Shrieking Shag, which Severus decor so Remus can rest comfortably after the full moon. He exhales his breath shakily, walking to the bed, and curled up.
'I'm so stupid. There's no way Bill will like me back. I'm just a freak who didn't deserve anything good. Uncle Vernon is right, I shouldn't be born. I'm just bad luck for everyone I loved.'
He sobs, clutching his heart painfully, remember his papa and dad's reaction when they first retrieve him from the Dursley this summer. The day when he thought he can live peacefully, with the person he cared for.
FLASHBACK
Dull green eyes starring at the cupboard door blankly. The small cupboard turns into his room again after Marge Dursley seems it fit enough for a 'filthy brat' like him to sleep as long as Marge lives in the Dursley house, waiting for her house renovation.
Dog bite, scratches, bruises, and dried blood cover Harry's body. A dark black mark covering his right eyes, and he whimpered slightly when his broken wrist jolt through pain when he tried to stirred his body inside the now-too-small cupboard.
He bit his tongue when the sharp pain from his broken wrist struck again. The giant step of his uncle echoing in his cupboard.
He whimpered when he remembered someone, who act like a sister, a mother, a friend. Someone who he held dearly in his heart as one of his family, but now far away because she need to finished A family matter.
He whimpered again, half sob, when the cupboard door opened harshly and and his uncle jerk him out and throw him until his head collided with the stairs barricade.
"I've told you to make no sound you freak! Do you now every sound you make is tortured my sleep you ungrateful freak!"
Harry bit a scream when the obese whale kick his ribs.
Just when his vision starting to fade, he hear his aunt's screech, and a booming of a familiar voice that he couldn't put a finger to before succumbed into darkness.
" - lease cub, wake up, I need you, I'm sorry cub, I'm so sorry." He know, no, he record the voice in his memory, its Remus!
"Don't ever you dare to blame yourself Remus, we know, the one who should take the blame are his so called relatives." sneer a voice that too familiar to him. The snarkiness, the bite, the loath in that voice that remind him of someone, but he couldn't grasp it.The brunette tried to open his eyes.Only to find he can't, because every time he tried it, he felt like sucked into a black hole that drained his energy in an instant.
"Harry? Oh Merlin! Poppy! Oh Harry, can you hear me."
"Step away Mr. Lupin-Snape, I need to check his vital." ordered the stern matron.
"Mr. Potter, if you're awake, follow my fingers."
Harry try to open his eyes, and see the blur of what he guessed as Madam Pomfrey's fingers.
"Reprehendo scelerum capax."
A neat scroll of partchment of Harry's vitals appear in Madam Pomfrey's hand.
"He's survived the critical phase, thank Merlin."
"Oh for Godric sake's thank you." whispered Remus, cluthing Harry's hand while Severus hug him, support and offering comfort at the same time for him.
"Remus! Fine! It's your choice! Stop feeding me or I'll rub your nose with Ron's socks!"
"Hey!" cried Ron, while Hermione and the twins burst into laughing.
"But cub!"
"Don't cub me, Moony. You're the one who saved me from that hell! You should've know my stomach capacity is limited!" pouted Harry slightly.
"Fine." sighed Remus.
"But you should take your potion now!"
"Oh come on!"
Harry's stunned when Ron's oldest brother step inside the tent.
Tall, broad shoulders, muscled but not too bulky, and well toned body, don't forget the freckles that Harry's look at a whole new light.
His mouth went dry, heat creeping to his cheeks. His breath hitch when suddenly that person turn his sapphire eyes toward him and give him the most warm smile Harry ever see. His heart beat speedened each step the person took towards him
"Well, hello. Why don't you introuce yourself, kiddo?" baritone deep voice echoed in Harry's ear. He barely contained his gasp, straightening himself and offer the man in front of him a shy smile.
"Hi, I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
The man's chuckled send a shiver toward his spine.
"Well if I were you, I'll shortened my name, too."
Smiling and ruffled Harry's hair, the man finally said his name.
"I'm William Arthur Logan Weasley, just call me Bill for short, pleased to meet you kitten." he winked playfully at Harry.
Harry blushed suddenly while Ron whacked Bill's head.
"Don't tease him you git!"
Bill just laugh and raised his hands to the air, leaving Harry with uncontrolable heart beats to calmed.
"Would you...? Please cub, So I can.."
"You'll always be my father, Moony. And you too Professor, thank you so much for all of your help. There's no way I'll decline this golden opportunity".
Remus smile gently, "Well, its bring me a hell of job and a handfull of sulking dog, but, here we are."
Harry giggled before grinned,
"Although, I expect a great offering because you scarce my eyes last year." asked Harry, wrigled his eyebrow while Severus blushed crimson and Remus snorted.
"Deal."
With a lightning speed, he sign the adoption papers. Make him legally Harry Potter-Lupin-Snape.
"Welcome to family brat," smirked Severus.
Harry stop dead from his nostalgic time and sniffles when he hear foot steps outside the Shriekeng Shack.
The blocked front door suddenly burst open, making him yelp and falling backwards, while someone staggering and swaying into the Shack. Harry eyes widened in surprise.
"Bill?" whispered Harry. Bill's head snapped upward, before grinning.
"Fleur.. Why are you here?" he asked, swaying in each his step while Harry's heart stabbed with invisible knife that plunged deep in his heart
"Bill, wake up."
"Your being funny, babe." chuckled Bill huskily. Harry's breatch caught when he smell Firewhisky scents around the man.
"Bill please, your drunk, I'm not Fl-" his sentence cut right away when Bill pull him with his hand behind his neck and crush their lips.
"Mmph!" Harry eyes widened, he strugled, but no match to Bill's strengths. He determined to keep his lips closed when Bill growled, annoyed, and bit his lower lips, emmiting a gasp from Harry. But that's all Bill need. The curse-breaker plunged his tongue and devour Harry's mouth in lips bruising kiss.
He mapping every inch of Harry's mouth while his hand roamed around Harry's lithe form, make the kitten animagus knees buckled. Harry whimpered when Bill trails his spine, only to make Bill growled victorously.
Gasp heard and what he knows next that Bill flung accros the room and passed out.
"Harry!"
Suddenly Harry surrounded by Draco, Ron, and Hermione.
"That bloody bastard! I'll kill him!" exclaimed Ron.
"NO!"
"What? Mate? He's molesting you!"
"He's drunk Ron! He kissed me
because... He thought that I- he thought he kissed Fleur." said Harry heart brokenly.
"Oh Harry," whispered Draco and Hermione sadly.
"Just.. Just levitate him."
"But Harr!"
"I enjoyed it Ron! I'm not frightened because of him! I'm frightened of my self!"
"I- even if it just a split second, I enjoyed it Ron. I'm disgusting." whispered Harry, emerald eyes full of pain.
"Oh Harry. There's nothing wrong with it Potty, It's excuseable! You reacted like that because you like him! Hell I bet you already love him."
"It's not Drake! Just- just take him to hospital wings. Please. I- I want to go home."
Draco, Hermione, and Ron glances at each other before nodding and helping Harry up, while Ron levitate his brother out of the Shack.
