Chapter 9: The Prince of Gryffindor
It had been a couple of weeks since the start of term and Harry was doing fine. Harry was walking to Gryffindor tower after quidditch practice when he remembered. That day would mark the day the leader of Gryffindor house was elected.
It would start in a few hours. It was currently the weekend at 2:30 pm. Harry was becoming friends with Draco Malfoy as they both liked the same things such as: Quidditch, transfiguration, defense, reading and dueling. The two had been dueling each other for a while, in each duel it would be hard fought as they both were extremely good with spells.
Ginny, can you get Isacc and Abigail as well as yourself to the bridge? Harry asked mentallyAlright we're going right now. Why? She asked
You'll see. Harry responded.
Harry walked out of the locker room and silently flashed away with a bright gold and white light that came out of his fingertips. Harry reappeared just in time to see the front doors of the entrance hall open. Ginny, Isaac and Abigail began walking towards the bridge just in time to see Harry reappear in a flash of killing curse green.
"HOLY SHIT!" Abigail exclaimed as she saw Harry appear out of thin air.
"Follow me." Harry said while beckoning for them to follow him.
"What was that?" Isacc asked in his usual calm voice.
"I… flashed." Harry said with a look to Ginny meaning 'be quiet'.
"Flashed?" Abigail asked while looking between Harry, Ginny and Isacc.
"Wait, I think I've heard of it. Isn't it called an elemental flash?" he asked with a different tone.
"Yep, it's called a flash because when you do it, it flashes a color that you can control." Harry said as he led them towards the edge of the bridge."Here it is."
"Where what is?" Abigail asked
"Wait, is this where you get to one of your Manors?" Ginny asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Possibly. I solemnly swear I'm up to no good." Harry said
"Wait what?" Isacc asked
"Just watch." Harry said as he pulled his wand and said it again while pointing the wand off the bridge.
"Marauder Manor?" Ginny finally asked as she finally caught on.
"Marauder?" Abby asked with confusion.
"Most Noble and Ancient house of Marauders." Harry said as he jumped off the bridge and landed on a platform where he levitated everyone down.
"Holy shit that scared me." Abigail said while taking deep breaths.
"I always hate this part. Marauder Prongslet." Harry said with a sigh as he tapped the wall with his wand.
"Prongslet?" Isacc asked with an amused expression.
"His nickname his parents gave him as a baby because his father was Prongs." Ginny said as she gave him a peck on the lips making him immediately brighten up. "Weasley charm."
"Nah more like Ginny charm." Harry said with a smirk.
"Is that flirting?" Ginny said with a fake gasp.
"No, beautiful, I don't know how to flirt." Harry said as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her hair that was blonde at the time. This caused her hair to redden slightly while the others rolled their eyes at the obvious flirting.
"That is flirting." Isacc said with an amused smile.
"Damn it lets go." Harry said as he waved his hand opening an entrance in the stone which when they walked through teleported to a large house.
It was less of a house and more of a giant Manor. When they arrived they appeared in a giant entrance hall that had a dome shaped roof that had a story as a tapestry. In the center of the room there was an imperial staircase that led to the second floor. Behind the handsome mahogany there were large spruce double doors that lead into a large dining hall that was almost the size of the Hogwarts great hall. There were two other doors in the entrance hall. Both were the same type of door as the one that led into a dining hall. In one of the rooms was a large living room with a large glass coffee table that had dark oak wood supporting it. The room also had a fireplace that had a floo network and there was a large TV in front of the large couches. There were also two love seats in the room, one was in front of the fireplace and the other next to the coffee table.
Through the other door there was a long hall that was supported by stone pillars that had the illusion of making it look like ice. At the end of the hall there were large double doors that led into a huge kitchen with almost everything being made out of light oak and marble. The ceiling was very tall with a balcony looking down on the kitchen. In the hall there was another smaller hall that had the same pillars that led up to a staircase. On the stairs there were photos of the Marauders and everyone in Harry's family. The photographs were made into a certain size to fit the stone wall design that allowed you to put the photos in the indents. At the top of those stairs there was a circular that had a door that led to the balcony into the kitchen.
The room was a large circular office with stone pillars around the edge of the office. In the center was a large wooden desk, a chair and a filing cabinet full of files and information. On the left of the room there was a door that led into a meeting room that had a long table with many tables. At the corners of the room there was the British flag and the magical British flag. Harry led them all into the meeting room and beckoned for them to sit down. Harry sat at the chair that was meant for the head of that house.
"What did you need?" Abigail asked while looking him in the eyes.
"Alright I already know that they most likely nominated me as Prince of Gryffindor. So I wanted to discuss my plan." Harry said.
A few hours later they were entering the common room just on time for everyone to be called to silence. Everyone sat down in the chairs and Lee Jordan stood up with a box that had pieces of parchments with names on them.
"Alright, I'm going to pull two pieces of parchment out. I will read the name and you will come up with your presentation on why we should vote for you." Lee Jordan said as he shook the box to mix up the names.
"Alright, the first nominee is… Cormac Mclaggen." Lee Jordan announced as Cormac went up to the front,"and for the second nominee is… Harry Potter!"
Harry went up and walked to the front of the common room next to Mclaggen and Cormac began his presentation.
"I feel like you should vote for me and not this prick because I will do amazing things and it will help me complete them. He already has enough popularity and fame that he doesn't need more. I will make Gryffindor better than those snakes." Cormac sneered at the crowd.
"Mr. Potter begins."
"You should vote for me because I feel like the power will go to his head. I won't use this power to do great things that help me alone. I will use this power to better the house altogether, not segregated. I will make sure to try and unite Hogwarts for more peace meaning befriending the Slytherins. They are not evil, they do not reflect off their parents. They don't become dark until they commit an act of evil. I feel like I should show you my family tree to show that I should be the leader of Gryffindor." Harry said to everyone with a voice full of confidence and power.
"What is this evidence?" Lee asked
"I present to you my family tree." Harry said as he flicked his wand down and his family tree appeared."As you can see my parents James and Lily Potter. My mother was a Peverell and my father was a Potter. The Peverells are descendants of Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin. My blood line of the Potters is the most pure line of Gryffindor meaning I'm a descendant of Godric Gryffindor, founder of this house." Harry said then he flicked his wand and the family tree disappeared.
"Alright time for the voting. Take your wands and think about your choice then tap your head with your wand." Lee Jordan said
Everyone did as instructed and silvery flashes of light flew to Lee, "Alright everyone has voted. The scores are 193 and 23. The winner is HARRY POTTER!" Lee yelled
A bunch of cheering erupted and a gold and scarlet throne appeared behind him so he sat down and Mclaggen sat down."Mr. Potter, who do you wish to be your queen? You may have 4 messengers that will also be your diplomats. Do you wish to have a Gryffindor guard that will be sworn to defend you and Gryffindor house and its allies?" Lee asked Harry while holding his wand to Harry's mouth.
"I do."
"Do you, Harry Potter, wish to train the guard and also defend the house from threat?"
"I do."
"Do you, Harry James Potter, accept to become the ruler of Gryffindor that is chosen by magic?"
"I do."
"Who do you choose as your queen and diplomats?"
Harry having talked with the gang at the manor he knew that Isacc did not want to be a diplomat. Harry looked at all of the girls in the house that looked hopeful.
"I chose Ginny Weasley as my queen."
Ginny rose from her seat and walked to the front and sat on the throne that appeared next to Harry. Her school robes changed into a long light blue dress as she sat down. Her hair also became a long golden blonde that reached all the way down to her back. The dress did a lot of justice to her curves that were developing. Since she was a metamorphmagus her curves were a bit bigger than they would normally. All the boys ogled at her while the girls looked at her in jealousy while Ron was absolutely gobsmacked as he saw Ginny with rings and a golden chain. She also had a golden choker that had diamonds on it. Ginny had a lot of her jewelry on as well which meant she had simple silver bracelet bands.
Lee Jordan recovered then continued."Who do you wish to be your diplomats?"
"I choose Abigail Moonlight, Neville Longbottom, Katie Bell and Alicia Spinnet." Harry chose as they all rose from their seats and sat at the other chairs at the front.
"The election is finished, you may go." Lee said
Harry went up to get his textbook from his dormitory. While Harry went up Cormac Mclaggen walked up to Ginny and pinned her to a wall and leaned in to kiss her. Harry walked down and saw what Mclaggen was doing so he shot the biggest flare of magic he ever shot at Mclaggen. When the magic hit him the golden beam connected to his head. All his hair burned off and he fell to the ground unconscious with a fractured skull. Broken arms and legs.
"Someone brought Mclaggen to the hospital wing." Harry ordered someone from the common room.
Harry and Ginny walked up to their separate dorms and fell asleep in piece until Ron got there.
"Why did you buy her such expensive stuff, why not buy me stuff like that? I'm your friend!" Ron yelled
"First of all you're not my friend, second of all she is my girlfriend so why not help her look nice." Harry told him calmly.
Harry put privacy charms on his bed and curtains then fell asleep again. He dreamt about holding Ginny in his arms and resting.
