Daphne Greengrass was furious, not only at the green-eyed boy but the fact that she was unable to defend not only her but her sister in front of the Death Eater that could have killed her. She hated herself because she knew she could do better, granted fighting an adult Death Eater was tough a task for anyone, she felt she should have at least gotten in a curse or two. Thankfully Astoria wasn't hurt severely only a bruise where she was struck in the face. Her father had been worried but proud that both his daughters were willing to stand up and fight against evil when confronted instead of running away, her mother on the other had broken down in tears realizing that she had almost lost her daughters that day.
"Daphne you okay?" Her sisters voice called out as the door to her room creaked open slowly.
"Come in Tori, I'm just resting right now." Daphne called out to her sister who poked her head in to look at her sister.
"How do you feel?" Astoria asked her older sister.
"I'm feeling better, honestly just knowing that you're safe is the best thing, I don't know what would have happened if it was you under the curse and not me." Daphne replied patting the spot next to her on the bed. Astoria sat down on the spot looking down at her hands and fidgeting.
"What's going on Tori, come on look at me." Daphne asked using her hand to raise Astoria's chin up and looking her little sister in the eyes which was watering, and tears began to fall as she looked at her sister in the eyes.
"Tori why are you crying?"
"Because you got hurt and I couldn't do anything but stand there and get hit and watch you in pain. It took a stranger to come and save not only you but me as well. If I knew how to fight you wouldn't have gotten hurt."
"Tori, no matter what happened today none of it is your fault." Daphne said as she pulled her sister into a hug. "I should have bene more prepared to protect you and was unable to do my job as an older sister."
"Who was that person who saved us? Have you ever seen him before?" Astoria asked her sister.
Daphne shook her head, "Never, I did see someone in Flourish and Blotts with green eyes and I'm sure that was him."
"Hm well reckon he's a Gryf jumping in to save us like that, but you never know. Merlin help me if he's a puff." Astoria said while chuckling.
Daphne smiled, "If he was a puff he would have hugged them to death."
Astoria couldn't help but snort a little before both sisters started to laugh loudly. Their father hearing the laughter of his 2 daughters opened Daphne's room door and poked his head in.
"Wonderful you're both up and laughing. I was just thinking of waking you two for supper. How about you get refreshed and come down when you're ready." Cyrus Greengrass said to his daughters.
"Okay father we'll be down shortly." Daphne said while smiling at her father before getting up.
While eating supper, Daphne couldn't help but wonder not only about the man who had saved her but also the spell he used.
"Father you saw the memory correct?" Daphne asked.
Cyrus looked up from his meal and cleared his throat. "Of course, I did I wanted to know what happened."
"Do you know who that person might be?" Daphne asked.
"Unfortunately, no, it appears that the boy you referenced in the memory in the book shop is not someone anyone has ever seen before, add to that he was seen with a house elf makes it more curious."
Astoria looked at her father confused, "Why is the house elf being there confusing."
"Well the house elf is also one that no one has seen before, normally we would assume it would be one of the darker families elves, but the fact that the boy seemed to help you make me believe he was not apart of any dark family lest being discovered. Granted there are questions being raised about the boy being the same person, a boy that age should not be able to fight of and hold off that many Death Eaters at once, even Aurors Black and Potter were surprised at the power that the man held."
Melody Greengrass then spoke up, "Girls that's enough or now, let's finish the meal and get you girls ready you head for Hogwarts in a fortnight."
Daphne shook her head before finishing her food. She went to bed that night with her thoughts on one thing, green eyes.
-Line Break-
"Completely irresponsible young lady I have half a mind to ensure you never leave this house alone again."
Melissa Potter sat in the dining room of her home listening to her mother scold her yet again for not being safe while out in public.
"Lily please it's not like she was actively fighting anyone she was hiding and only came out after the fighting was done." Sirius Black said rubbing his temples.
"You stay out of this Black, this is between me and my daughter." Lily glared at Sirius who held his hands up in surrender.
"Sirius is right Lily lay off her, she did the right thing and with her memories we have more information regarding the person who saved the Greengrass girls." James Potter spoke up putting his hand on his wife's shoulder.
Lily sighed before sitting down, "If she was found, she could have been hurt James, you know that they're followers of him."
"Mom, I get it, but when I heard the Cruciatus I had to see if I could help." Melissa said looking at her mother. "Can you tell me you wouldn't have done the same?"
Lily looked up at her daughter.
Sirius chuckled, "She is your daughter Lils."
"Just be more careful please." Lily asked, "No more crazy adventures at school or anything from the Golden Trio I beg you."
Melissa cringed at the name, "I hate that name."
James laughed, "We know Neville has told us many times. Go upstairs love, get some rest."
Melissa nodded and got up before turning around.
"The person who saved the Greengrasses, his eyes were so green, but they were the color of the killing curse."
James and Sirius looked at each other.
"We know striking eyes if I may say so myself, we're looking into it as well, got Professor Dumbledore also seeing if he can find anyone who fits the description given by everyone there." Sirius said smiling.
Melissa nodded before heading up stairs not before hearing a bit of a whispered conversation.
"Check the records at St. Mungo's, he had a cut on his leg."
She shook her head before nodding off to sleep in her bed.
-Line Break-
"We gotta move!" Harry yelled.
"We can't Hermione's hurt she can barely stand." Ron said ducking as more spells shot over his head.
Harry cursed under his breath and examined Hermiones leg, it appeared that her ankle was broken.
Hermione looked at two boys before smiling sadly and looking at Ron.
"Take care of him Ron, make sure he doesn't do anything stupid." Hermione said gripping Rons hand
Ron shook his head, "No we aren't leaving you here not like this."
"There's no point Ron, I'll only slow you down, I can hold them off for you two to get away."
"We aren't leaving you here Hermione." Harry yelled before firing back more spells.
"Ron take care of him please, and know I love you." Hermione said kissing Ron.
Ron looked at Hermione tears rolling down his face before nodding in understanding.
"Harry, never be cruel, never be cowardly, remember hate is always foolish and love is always wise, always try to be nice and never fail to be kind. Stupefy." Hermione said before casting the spell at Harrys back.
"No-" Harry was cut off as he collapsed after being hit with the spell.
"Take him Ron, see you on the other side." Hermione said before getting up and casting spells back at the Death Eaters.
"Bye Hermione, I love you."
Harry woke up with a start looking around the room he was in. The first things he noticed was that his wands were all still on him which meant that one he wasn't searched or that the people helping him were muggles. He looked around and saw that he was in a bedroom with a table and chair and a window which seemed to indicate it was daytime wherever he was. He got up and walked towards the window and looked out, he could sense multiple wards in place to keep people, owls and any other things out but noting to stop him from leaving.
'So not muggles.' Harry thought to himself As Harry was admiring the view the door to his room opened and in an instant his wand was in his hand ready to defend himself or attack if need be.
"Ho, calm down there boy I ain't here to hurt you. Put that wand down will you" A man said as he looked before shaking his head and taking a seat in the chair on the other side of the room.
"Who are you, where am I and why am I here." Harry asked not taking his wand off the man.
"Who I am may be a little complicated as for where you are, you're currently in the Grampian Mountains, Scotland. Why well, you can tell us, you came through our anti apparition wards and landed on our front door all bloodied and looking like you went 12 rounds with a Hippogriff. So now that I've answered a couple of your question care to answer mine?"
Harry started at the man,
"Why are you afraid to tell me your name?" Harry asked not feeling comfortable yet.
The man chuckled, 'Well it's a little complicated, but first I need some information from you, like why did you appear on my door step cause I can tell you're a lot older then your age, trust me I would know. Also, can you put your bloody wand down kid, you're stressing me out and for my age that isn't good. "
"Give me a reason to lower it." Harry responded not lowering wand.
The old man sighed before slowly and carefully pulling his own wand out and raising it towards the roof before stating, "I swear I mean no harm to any person under this roof, everything I am about to state is the truth so mote it be." A flash of light erupted from the tip of his wand and the man smiled at his wand before looking pointedly at Harry.
Harry lowered his wand before sitting down. Before he could fully relax the door burst open again and a woman stepped into the room, instantly Harry was on his feet again wand in hand.
"Again, with the bloody wand sit down will you it's just my wife." The man said exasperated.
"Now, now dear, of course he's a little jumpy, he doesn't know who we are or why he's even here granted the second one is pretty obvious." The woman said. "I am Perenelle and this is Nicholas, you may know us a bit better by our last name, Flamel."
Harrys jaw dropped before looking back and forth between the two.
"Yeah and I just came out of a Hippogriffs right ass. What a load of horseshit" Harry said sticking his wand up again.
Nicholas laughed and Perenelle looked furious, "If I hear anymore language like that from you young man, you're in for a right smack bottom."
"There is no way, you were supposed to die 3 years ago after the Philosophers Stone was destroyed at Hogwarts." Harry said before realizing his mistake.
Nicholas's eyes widened, "How did you know about that, only Dumbledore and Melissa Potter knew of what happened."
"She needs to take an oath as well, then I'll tell you everything." Harry said before lowering his wand once more and sitting down after Perenelle had given her oath as well.
Harry sighed before running his hands through his hair.
"I guess I'll start from the very beginning, my name is Harry Potter and I'm the Boy Who Lost."
