Harry walked out of the classroom and instead of heading to Charms he decided that he needed some fresh air. He was surprised that Daphne had been able to piece everything together so quickly. He knew that he now needed to be more careful. The girl already knew too much and he couldn't let her get any closer. This wasn't because he wasn't interested in the opposite sex, he might not have had the most experience in his world but that didn't mean he couldn't pick up on the subtle flirting she had used. She was attractive, and she knew how to use her beauty to her advantage. He knew that she was doing all this to protect her sister, but he couldn't believe that she was willing to go that far to protect her. He couldn't help but be impressed by the girl.
'She is pretty. Smart as well.' Harry thought to himself
If everything went to plan, he could start to dismantle Voldemort's attempt at resurrection. He had skipped dinner as he had stuff to plan and deal with so had no time to eat. Draco who was speaking with Pansy noticed him entering and got up and walked with him to Harry's room.
Harry noticed that Draco was fidgeting and seemed nervous, "What's wrong Malfoy."
"You didn't kill her, did you?" Draco asked nervously.
Harry raised an eyebrow looking at Draco with confusion.
"Greengrass, I haven't seen her since you went to the classroom with her, she isn't dead, is she?" Draco asked.
Harry couldn't help but roll his eyes, "No she isn't dead."
"What did she want to talk about?" Draco asked curiously.
'She asked me to set up the same ward scheme on her sisters' room, she heard some of the older years talking about her sister and wanted her protected. She was able to figure out that it was me this morning." Harry said pulling out his trunk.
"How was she able to figure it out?" Draco asked surprised.
"When she laid out the points it was actually pretty clear to see, I'm not surprised that others haven't figured it out." Harry responded while shrugging and heading down into his trunk.
"Hm, are we still on for tonight?" Draco asked, before he was struck in the face with a boot. "Bloody hell what was that for?"
"Shut up, you haven't out up any spells to stop people from hearing you. Granted no one will be able to because the room is under fidelious but still be careful with what you say. Try that on, I got to find some more stuff for you to wear." Harry said throwing up more articles of armor for Draco to try on.
"Is this made out of dragonhide?" Draco asked in awe of the material in his hands.
"Yup we had it made during the war; we had a bunch of sets made since 6th year of school." Harry said before climbing out wearing a full set.
He looked over at Draco who had just finished putting on the armor. "How does it fit?"
Draco looked at himself shaking himself a little to get used to the articles of clothing on him.
"It's loose around the chest and hips, but apart from that fits alright." Draco responded unaware of the smile on Harrys face. Draco then turned and looked at Harry who couldn't wipe the smile off his face. "What's so funny?"
"What would you do, if I told you that the armor, you're wearing belonged to someone you knew." Harry asked.
"Well I figured it would belong to someone, was it Weasley's?"
Harry shook his head, "That was made for Hermione when she was 17, makes sense considering the whole chest and hips thing."
Draco's jaw dropped, "This was made for a bloody girl?"
"Look Draco you aren't exactly filled out, and it was the closest thing I had in your size, if you want to go in there without anything be my guest, but the armor will protect you."
"Wait what is that?" Draco asked noticing Harry strap something onto his thigh, a black object that looked very strange.
"This is a muggle weapon known as a gun, I picked one up near the end of the war last year, bloody useful to have. Spells can't block it and for the most part they kill quickly. I do find it very uncivilized though." Harry admitted covering the gun with his cloak.
It was then that Draco noticed the knives on the armour as well as some other weapons that looked to be crudely made.
"You learn to make use of whatever you can while on the run. We quickly found that spell fire was good to use but use a more muggle way of fighting was more beneficial. Wait out in the common room, I have to set up the wards." Harry told Malfoy pulling out his wand.
Draco looked at Harry before nodding slightly and walking out to the common room to tell Crabbe and Goyle that they were going to the library to do some extra studying. After Harry had finished setting up the wards for everyone up to 3rd year as well as a couple of random rooms for the 4th years which included Draco and Daphne's room he walked out into the common room and nodded to Draco who got up and followed him. Daphne walked into the common room and locked eyes with Harry who merely nodded and brushed past her placing a note into her hand without anyone else noticing. Daphne pretended not to notice and continued walking to her room and was joined by Tracey Davis.
Harry and Draco stepped outside the common room and got under Harry's invisibility cloak.
"This is amazing. Where did you get this?' Draco asked.
"I got it in my first year, one of the few things my dada had that was passed on to me."
"Wait so you had this throughout school? I'm assuming you used to sneak around with Granger and Weasley." Draco remarked.
Harry just nodded as they made their way out of the school heading towards the edge of the wards surrounding the school.
"I'm surprised you never use it to snog the girls in your fan club." Draco admitted.
Harry looked at him confused, "My fan club?"
Draco couldn't help but snort, "Of course you never knew about your fan club in school. One of the reasons I disliked you Potter, you had a literal fan club of mesmerized witches who would have killed to even speak to you. One of the reasons why Granger was hated as much as she was."
"I never knew." Harry said looking back on his years in school.
'Yeah, not going to lie, I would have taken advantage of that in school."
Harry just shook his head.
Once they left the school grounds Harry turned to Draco.
"Do you remember how to apparate?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Okay because I'm going to flame us onto the island but I'm going to need you to apparate the 3 of us back."
Draco looked at Harry confused. "What do you mean three?"
"The prisoner we're freeing, he's going to be staying in the chamber." Harry said simply.
Draco nodded before looking at Harry curiously. "How are we getting there?"
"Like this." Harry said before grabbing a hold of Draco's shoulder and disappearing in a pillar of flames.
-Line Break-
Daphne Greengrass sat down onto her bed dropping her school bag onto the floor.
"So I think Blaise wants to go Hogsmeade together next time so I won't be able to go with you." Tracey told her friend.
Daphne nodded while she unfolded the note in her hand.
'It's done, your sisters' room and the other 3rd years as well as yours and a couple other 4th years are all protected.'
AF
"Daph, are you even listening to me?" Tracey asked her friend.
"Yeah sorry Tracey just distracted." Daphne told her friend placing the note on her bedside table.
"Thinking about Alexios Flamel?" Tracey asked looking at her friend suggestively.
"You have a thing for Flamel Daph? Damn he is quite the looker isn't he, shame he's a friend of Malfoy." Astoria Greengrass joined the conversation.
Daphne just groaned before falling back onto her bed.
"She is absolutely smitten by the boy Tori, she even asked to speak with him after Herbology." Tracey revealed to the younger sibling.
Astoria raised an eyebrow, "Really, and here I thought you were a lesbian." Astoria said before being hit in the face by a pillow.
"Not another word, either of you. I do not have a thing for Flamel, I just wanted some more information on how he was able to perform the spells so quickly in Transfiguration, he beat not only me but Granger and Potter." Daphne grumbled.
"Oh, so he's smart and good looking, you better grab that fish now Daphy." Astoria teased before being pushed off the bed by Daphne.
"Daph admit it, you need a good shag and snog, you're always so worked up." Tracey told her friend.
Daphne looked at Tracey scandalously while Astoria did all she could to not burst out laughing. Daphne knew that she was going to be teased relentlessly for this.
-Line Break-
"Bloody hell, were we just on fire?" Draco asked patting himself down even though he wasn't on fire.
"Yup," Harry responded simply, as he pulled out a basket from his pocket and enlarged it.
"I'm still alive and not burnt." Draco said looking at Harry shocked.
"Yup." Harry said once more before pulling out 2 hoods and handing one to Draco. "Put this on, it keeps your face hidden and no one can take it off but yourself."
Draco looked at it once over before placing it on his head. He then grabbed Draco's arm again before arriving inside of an empty cell in Azkaban.
"Wow, how did you know where to go?" Draco whispered.
"I had Dobby come and scout it for me. We need to go up 1 flight of stairs and his cell will be there. I can sense that there's at least 10 people above us in the middle corridor area and one more right on top of us, my assumption is Regulus must be right above us. Follow me." Harry told Draco who nodded. The duo made their way to the stairs and made their way up to the next level where Harry saw a total of 10 Death Eaters standing in front of a cell. The Death Eaters in question were, Anton Dolohov, Thorfinn Rowle, Corban Yaxley and Alecto and Amycus Carrow along with some others he did not know.
"What do you mean you aren't coming Black? The Dark Lord is rising once again, Wormtail is preparing the ritual to resurrect him." Dolohov proclaimed.
"I won't join you, not this time." Another voice responded, Harry figured that the voice belonged to Regulus Black.
Harry turned to Draco, "Looks like Dolohov's here as well.
"Is that problem?"
"No shouldn't be, he was a damn good dueler but nothing I can't handle."
"There's 10 of them." Draco noted.
Harry nodded, "They should have brought more."
"I want you to stay here, shield me if you can." Harry told Malfoy quietly.
"What I'm not just going to let you fight them alone." Draco responded.
"I don't need you getting hurt on me, I can take them but I would need to keep an eye out on you as well, that's more work than I would need at the moment." Harry replied.
"I can take care of myself." Draco growled out.
"No you can't not against that many Death Eaters. Look I'm not asking you to do nothing, just stay here shield yourself and shoot spells when you can."
Draco looked at him with a glare before nodding in understanding.
"Fine then Black, I'll have to just kill you then." Dolohov declared raising his arm and casted a spell at Black.
Harry reached out with his hand and conjured a shield to protect Regulus. The curse hit the opaque shield and Harry ran out throwing curses at the death eaters. He fired a Reducto at the Death Eaters which killed one of them instantly and knocked 3 others off their feet. He was able to hit Rowle with a bone breaking hex before they realized what was happening. Instantly they started to fire spells back at Harry who was now making his way to an alcove to avoid being hit by spells.
"Who dares defy the Dark Lord." Dolohov called out to them, "Come out now, and face a merciful death."
Alecto was helping Rowle who now had a broken shoulder up while Amycus stood ready for more spells.
Harry couldn't help but snort before casting a reducto at the wall to the left of the Death Eaters distracting them. He then stepped out and began casting spells, using his left hand to shield himself and his right to cast spells with his wand. Draco couldn't help but look on in amazement at what he saw, seeing Harry handle wandless magic was one thing, but doing so with one hand and maintaining a shield so powerful that it wasn't even flinching at the spell fire from the death eaters while also shooting spells back was amazing. He cast a cutting curse which split a Death Eater in two, then casted what appeared to be blooding boiling and blood freezing curses hitting 2 more death eaters. He then casted something which Draco had never seen before, a spell which seemed to pull the wall from behind the death eaters and crashed into 2 more of them knocking them off their feet. Harry then struck Amycus with a cutting curse severing his wand arm before he finished him off with a reducto to the head blowing his head off. Dolohov, Yaxley, Alecto and Rowle looked at the fallen body of Amycus in shock, they never expected one of them to fall to someone they assumed was an auror. It was then that they realized that their numbers had gone from 10 to 5 in an instant. Harry then shot off an expulso at the two downed Death Eaters blowing their bodies to pieces. Alecto was the first to recover throwing spells back meant to kill. Harry then conjured up a wall to block the spells before he turned the corner and started to hiss and fire off spells hitting both Rookwood and Alecto Carrow. Draco recognized it as Parselmagic and saw Rowle and Alecto start clawing at their faces and screaming falling to the ground, it was as if they had something crawling all over their skins and they were attempting to get it off. He then fired off another Reducto attempting to split Yaxley and Dolohov up. Dolohov was forced to dive away but was dazed and confused after and would take a couple of moments before getting up. Yaxley looked at his fallen comrades before looking at Harry in fear. Harry walked forward dropping the shield and disarming Yaxley before casting a spell from the Black Family spell book. Tendrils of fire shot out of Harrys wand, wrapping around Yaxleys arms and legs causing him fall to the ground screaming in pain at the flames burning his body. That then left Dolohov who was getting up after being knocked off his feet by the explosion from another reducto hat barely missed him. He looked and saw the bodies of the Death Eaters that had come to free their comrades, of the 10 that were there, only 1 remained who was able to fight.
"Impressive, you managed to take out all of us. I believe it is i-" Dolohov was cut off as Harry began to fire spells at him, if Dolohov was any slower he would not be standing.
Harry pressed forward launching more spells at Dolohov, not intending for the fight to last longer than it needed.
Dolohov was shocked at the power behind the person in front of him, he looked into the hood and could only see what appeared to be green fire emitting from where the eyes should have been.
Harry then spun and slammed his hand into the ground sending a ripple towards Dolohov who didn't know who to defend himself form the spell was knocked up into the air. The last thing he was were blazing green eyes and a cutting curse coming towards his throat.
Harry looked back at Draco and motioned for him to come out of hiding.
Thanks for the help." Harry said gruffly.
Draco looked at Harry his face paler than usual. "You killed them"
Harry looked at him, "I did, and I'm going to kill these 3 as well, what's your point." Harry responded gesturing to Rowle, Alecto and Yaxley
"I just didn't expect it."
"I told you, this time we do it my way not Dumbledore's way." Harry said before casting cutting curses on Rookwood and Alecto cutting their throats.
He then walked over to Yaxley who was still held in place by the fire chains.
"Who are you?" Yaxley asked weakly, still in immense pain due to the fire currently burning his skin.
Harry crouched down and looked at Yaxley, "I'm the person whose going to kill your Dark Lord."
Harry then cast a spell from the Potter Family book and dark smoke emerged from his wand and worked its way into Yaxleys mouth eyes nose and ears. Yaxley let out a scream before falling to the ground dead.
Draco walked up to Harry looking on in horror at the bodies of the now dead Death Eaters.
"Snake face is going to find that a lot of his followers will be missing come the Third Task this year." Harry responded before crouching back down and grabbing Yaxleys wand. Harry then got up and walked towards the cell holding Regulus Black and looked in to see the man against the wall looking at him in fear.
"Regulus Black, we're here to free you."
Regulus looked at him unwarily, "Who are you?"
"Someone who has the same goal as you."
"I'm not fighting for the Dark Lord, not anymore."
Harry couldn't help the sigh that escaped his mouth and face palmed.
"You just saw this guy take out 10 Death Eaters and you think he's on their side?" Draco asked incredulously.
"Why else would you have come to free a guilty man."
"Because Regulus Black, I know what you did to the Dark Lords Horcrux, and I know how to destroy it. I want us to work together to kill that bastard and make sure he can never hurt anyone again." Harry said with confidence.
Regulus looked at Harry suspiciously then looked at Draco, "How about you?"
Draco shrugged, "I'm with him."
"Well I can't trust you yet, I need a name or something." Regulus said.
As Harry was about to respond he heard the sounds of Aurors storming up the stairs.
"I'll explain everything later but I need you to trust me Black, if I wanted to kill you I would have." Harry said pushing Draco behind him and getting ready to cast a shield.
Regulus looked at him for a moment before nodding, "Get me out of here."
Harry nodded, "Stand back." As he cast a spell that broke the cell door down.
As soon as the door fell 5 Aurors burst into the hall and saw the 3 standing there. Instantly they began to cast spells at the trio. Harry had a shield up instantly and grabbed a hold of both Draco and Regulus and flaming out.
-Line Break-
Harry, Draco and Regulus landed on the beach where they had first landed and collapsed on the sand. Harry was breathing heavily and out of breath, he had flamed alone before and was able to go far distances, hell even with 2 people it was easy. Doing it with 3 was something he had never done before and he found it was very taxing on him physically but drained a lot of his magic. Draco was now standing and took off his hood helping Harry up, "Bloody mad you are."
Harry couldn't help but chuckled, "We did it."
Harry looked over at Black who was standing and looking around him taking In the view and the fresh air.
"I never thought I would be out of there, I expected to die there." Black said as tears formed in his eyes. He turned to thank them before stopping when he caught sight of Draco.
"He's a Malfoy, what's he doing here." Black said backing up looking angry.
"He helped me today, he's on our side." Harry replied taking off his hood as well.
"A Malfoy against the Dark Lord, his fath-"
"My father is a despicable man who has no backbone. He lets his life be led by a half blood who cares nothing for others. For all I care he can die like the others in there." Draco responded pointing towards Azkaban.
Regulus looked at him before looking at Harry. "What's your name, you clearly know mine and what I did."
"It's a little more complicated than that, but for now my name is Alexios Flamel." Harry responded before waving his hand where a picnic basket appeared in his hand. "You must be hungry, there's some food in there that will last you a month. There is also some clothes and anything else you will need for basic hygiene."
"Wait Flamel, as in Nicholas Flamel?" Regulus asked shocked.
"Yup, adopted son of Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel." Harry responded. "Now I know what you swapped the locket and need to know where it is, I have a way of destroying it as well as the others."
Regulus looked at him confused. "Others, what do you mean others?"
Harry looked at him before sighing, "He made 5 horcruxes, at least that I know of and is planning on making a 6th and there may be a 7th one which I am unsure of."
Regulus looked at him in horror, "He made how many?"
"Look Black it doesn't matter; I already have 2 of them and I know one has already been destroyed and . If I get another one it'll make things easier, and I know you did something with it. I plan on destroying them all at once and have been gathering them all up." Harry told Regulus.
Regulus just looked at him before nodding and calling Kreacher. Instantly the old elf appeared confused before noticing who was in front of him.
"Master Regulus is free!" The elf cried out before running and hugging the man.
Regulus just smiled and patted Kreacher on the head.
"Not legally but I am out for now, thanks to these people." Regulus responded gesturing to Harry and Draco. "Kreacher that locket I gave you, do you still have it?"
Kreacher nodded vehemently. "Yes, master I have it, not letting the mistake know I have it."
Harry looked at the elf confused, "The mistake?"
Regulus looked at him sheepishly, "My brother Sirius."
Harry just nodded in understanding.
"Kreacher can you give the locket to him, he will ensure that it is destroyed and that we are closer to finishing the fight." Regulus said to elf.
Kreacher looked at Harry suspiciously then to Regulus before handing over the locket to Harry who had conjured a box to place the locket inside.
Harry nodded in thanks before shrinking the box and putting it into his pocket and then looking back at Regulus.
"We need to figure out where you can stay, and I have a feeling I know a place that Voldemort will never find you in and Dumbledore and your brother will never even think of looking."
Regulus looked at him with a confused expression.
"The Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts." Harry said.
Regulus looked at him as if he were crazy, "Are you mad?"
Harry looked at Draco who was trying his best to not laugh, "I guess I am at this point, look only a handful of people know where the entrance is and only 2 people can enter the Chamber and one of them is me. They would never expect you to hide inside Hogwarts."
Regulus looked at him, his mouth opening and closing before shaking his head.
"Fine, not like I have much of a choice." Regulus said before grabbing his forehead and he began to fall forward, Harry caught him and ensured he didn't fall.
"Kreacher, can you help me I need you to take those items to Hogwarts, look for an elf named Dobby and tell him I said Basilisk, he will show you where to go, I'll be there shortly with Regulus. Once he's there you can stay with him and make sure he is healthy."
Kreacher looked at Harry before nodding and popping away with the basket.
"I need you to apparate back and make sure it's safe for us to go into the school, you remember the secret passage I showed you earlier?" Harry asked Draco.
Draco nodded.
"Good, I'll meet you there make sure no one is in the halls." Harry said before nodding at Draco who apparated away with a crack.
Harry put an arm around Regulus before he himself flamed away to Hogwarts.
-Line Break-
Melissa Potter was lying down on her bed not able to sleep. She had many things going through her mind, one of which had to do with Alexios Flamel. The boy was curious, he was advanced, and anyone could see that he was able to do spells that weren't taught until 7th year, and the spells he was able to do he did them with ease. She sighed in frustration and pulled out the Marauders Map which was given to her during first year by her Uncle Sirius. She could see Dumbledore pacing in his office, noticed that Malfoys name was walking towards the Slytherin common room. Yet again another thought popped into her head, the boy who normally would antagonize and mock her and left her alone so far this year. Granted they were only 2 days into the term but normally he would have doubled down on the comments and whatever stupid jokes he could make. She shook her head and looked down at the map before she saw 2 names pop up on the map. The first was Regulus Black, he Uncle Sirius's brother who had been sent to Azkaban for murdering a man in broad daylight. He was a Death Eater who had never been found guilty of any acts that he performed under Voldemort. She was confused as to how he would be in Hogwarts when he was supposed to be in Azkaban. The name next to Black made her rub her eyes and looked at the name one more time. The name Harry Potter was shown next to Black, walking towards the second floor. Melissa was stunned, she thought maybe the map was incorrectly identifying her father or even one of her brothers incorrectly before she realized that they would not be at Hogwarts but at home.
"Mel? What are you doing?" Hermione asked her sleepily.
"Nothing Mione, just couldn't sleep don't worry about me." Melissa responded looking over at her friend who couldn't help but smile.
"You know no matter how many times you say that." Hermione said.
"You're always going to worry I know. I'm going back to sleep." Melissa responded with a small smile.
Hermione nodded before laying her head back down. Melissa sighed and looked back to the map expecting to see the 2 names she spotted earlier but was unable to locate them, odd she thought to herself before closing the map and falling asleep, she would speak to her father about this later.
-Line Break-
Harry and Regulus appeared at the edge of the tree line in a burst of flames. Harry was exhausted, flaming around too much drained him and he needed to get Regulus inside before he passed out of exhaustion. He dragged Regulus who was still passed out up to the castle wall and helped him inside through the entrance. Dobby popped in front of him as soon as he arrived.
"Draco is now in the common room like you asked, there shouldn't be any suspicion as he can deflect any questions."
"Good is the Chamber ready?" Harry asked the elf.
Dobby nodded in response.
"Okay can you take us down there, I'm gonna collapse any second now."
Dobby grabbed both Harry and Regulus and popped them into the chamber. Harry put Regulus onto the bed before collapsing into a chair and looking at Dobby.
"Wake me up in 3 hours, I need to visit the Flamels."
Dobby nodded before popping away.
-Line Break-
Harry was woken up by Dobby who told him 3 hours had passed. Harry nodded and got up before noticing that Regulus was still asleep and Kreacher was sitting at the bedside waiting for him to wake up.
He then got up and flamed right out of Hogwarts and to the Flamels home where he saw Perenelle sitting at their kitchen table drinking some tea.
"Hello Harry, come back so soon." Perenelle asked not even looking up from the notebook she was writing in.
"Yeah got two of them, the diadem and the locket." Harry said taking out two boxes and placing them on the table.
Perenelle looked at before nodding, "I'll put it with the Cup." Grabbing the box and taking it to another room.
Nicholas came out of their bedroom at that very moment, "Harry how are you?"
"Good, got another one, I was going to grab the ring tomorrow night which gives us all 5, leaving us with potentially the girl being the last one left."
"How about the snake?" Nicholas asked taking a seat across from Harry.
"I don't believe he's made that a Horcrux yet, it should be after he's back and I intend to finish things well before then."
"Were you able to get in and out fine?" Perenelle asked giving him a cup of tea.
"Yup took out 10 Death Eaters as well, including one of Voldemort's best fighters." Harry said looking at the couple.
"No problems with Dementors or Aurors?" Nicholas asked.
"Surprisingly no, I assume that the Dementors were told to stay away and the Aurors were so late I just need to grab a hold of Regulus and we were out. He's in the Chamber right now sleeping, has food to last a month and a house elf who is extremely loyal to him taking care of him."
Nicholas nodded, "How have your classes been?"
"Boring, by the way I'll need a note excusing me from History of Magic." Harry said taking a drink of his tea.
"Why, history is amazing to learn about and is key in ensuring growth of the mind." Nicholas proclaimed.
"Not when all you learn about is Goblin Rebellions." Harry said leaning back in his chair.
Perenelle looked at him in confusion before Harry explained what was taught in History of Magic which lead to a lot of cursing from both Nicholas and Perenelle. They happily signed the note and also vowed to speak to Dumbledore regarding the quality of learning that was given by Hogwarts. Harry noticing that it was almost 7 in the morning decided that it was time to head back to school and bid farewell to the Flamels.
-Line Break-
Yet again the common room in Slytherin was in chaos, it appeared that yet again the upper years were all stunned on the floor but this time, some of them were stripped of their clothing.
Daphne walked out of her room and into the common room looking around to see if she could see Alexios, she wanted to talk to him about something she witnessed the previous night while on the astronomy tower. She located Draco who was talking to Pansy about the upper years who were stunned yet again. She was about to walk over to him when Astoria came running up to her,
"Daphne, did you see all the students in the hall again?" She asked excitedly.
Daphne sighed, sometimes her sisters' attitude and overall cheerfulness did not belong in the House of Slytherin.
"Yeah, how many were in front of your door?" Daphne asked.
"3, tow of them were 7th years and Theodore Nott were the other." Astoria told her sister.
Tracy and Blaise who were next to Astoria heard and could not help but fear for the Nott heir. Yet again Professor Snape, Professor Dumbledore and Professor Babbling entered the common room to examine the students.
"I am not surprised that they are in this state Professor, it appears that some of your students are unable to get a warning when they get one." Babbling said angrily to Dumbledore and Snape.
"Whatever do you mean?" Dumbledore asked confused.
"It's simple Dumbledore, these students were given a warning yesterday that if they repeated their actions then they would be stunned and marked."
"I understand that Bathsheda, but can you explain to me why some of my students are no longer wearing their clothes and have an even larger tattoo on their foreheads?" Snape asked growing frustrated.
"Simple the ones that are naked are the students who were stunned yesterday, the ones who aren't have been given their first warning, lord knows what happens on the third attempt to break into a room." Babbling said looking down. "I would suggest backing up and getting ready to ensure they don't start attacking each other again."
Everyone in the room including the teachers backed up as the students all got up but this time instead of fighting they got into an organized unit and stood there staring at everyone, suddenly they began to sing and dance.
'Hello, my baby hello my honey hello my ragtime gal….'
Snape stared at the students his jaw dropping at the ridiculous display in front of him. Dumbledore couldn't help but smile and move his head to the song and Babbling was doing her best to not burst out laughing. Unluckily the students in the common room all burst out laughing at the scene in front of them. After about a minute of singing and dancing the students realized where they were and the ones who were void of their clothing instantly attempted to cover themselves or run to their dorms to grab clothes.
"Well I believe that the situation has once again corrected itself, don't you agree Severus?" Dumbledore asked the Potions Master.
"Of course," Snape responded before turning to the students, "Go on, off to breakfast."
All the remaining students quickly left the common room while Daphne stayed behind spotting Alexios speaking to Draco in the corner of the room before walking towards the door himself. She didn't even notice him enter the room at all but quickly followed him.
"Alexios!" Daphne called out.
Harry stopped after hearing his name be called and turned around to see Daphne walking towards him before walking up to him and looking him in the eye then grabbing his arm and dragging him into an empty classroom.
"2nd time you've gotten me alone in a classroom Ms. Greengrass, people are going to talk." Harry said leaning against the wall.
Daphne looked at him once over again before once again looking at his eyes in confusion before speaking.
"I just wanted to thank you, you're wards kept my sister safe last night, 3 students tried to get into her room last night."
Harry just nodded, "I told you I would keep her protected, the same for you as well."
"That isn't all I have to thank you for." Daphne said to him looking at him in the eye.
Harry tilted his head confused, "What do you mean?"
Daphne looked at him before walking towards him, "I know it was you, don't try and pretend it wasn't."
Harry then slowly started to realize what she was referring too.
"I don't fully unde-" Harry tried to say but was cut off.
"Stuff it Flamel, Diagon Alley, the person who saved me was you, don't think of me as a fool. I saw you last night while I was on the Astronomy Tower, you used the same flaming thing you did in Diagon Alley. Not to mention your eyes which were purple are now green, so tell me why and don't even try to deny it."
Harry looked at her in shock, he tried his best not to show it but could tell he was doing a bad job of it.
"What do you mean by why?" Harry asked deciding to take things slowly and see if he would need to obliviate her.
"Why did you never step forward and take credit, my family owes you 2 life debts." Daphne asked growing frustrated. "When you got to school you so far have treated me like saving my life was nothing, like I was nothing."
Harry looked at her wondering why she was so upset at this.
"I never stepped forward because to me it never mattered. I was doing what was right, and what was right was helping someone in need, not because I wanted a life debt or anything like that."
"So, you don't deny it?" Daphne asked.
"Would it do me any good?" Harry responded with a raised eyebrow.
"No, it wouldn't. How were you able to take on that many Death Eaters while you were injured?" Daphne asked concerned.
"Look Greengrass, I've been trained my whole life to fight, it's the reason I don't trust people and the reason I tend to keep people away." Harry responded.
Daphne looked at him, almost examining him, "Can you train me?"
Harry looked at her confused.
"I want you to train me, I almost died, and it was because of my incompetence that my sister almost died as well, if it wasn't for you I would have died."
Harry looked at her and sighed.
"Look Flamel, I know you're helping Draco, that prat already seems to be ahead which is something he's never done before, I want to get better and you seem to know what you're doing."
"Fine, but first things first, you need to get into physical shape, Draco and I are going to be exercising the mornings at 4:30 by the Lake, if you are up by then and meet us in the common room then I'll train you." Harry relented.
Daphne nodded, a small smile appearing on her lips before she lost her courage, she kissed him on the cheek, her cheeks turning red. Harry stared at her in shock his cheeks growing red as well.
"That's for saving me, by the way I like your eyes green, they look nicer." Daphne said as she walked out of the room leaving a stunned Harry standing there.
'Yeah,' Harry thought to himself, 'Not how I saw this going.'
