Harry followed Amadeus up to his quarters, with the rest of the group. They
had all sat down at the dining room table and watched Amadeus pace back and
forth.
Finally Aphrodite got up the nerve to speak. "Its nothing really father, just a boy being a boy-" She was cut off by her father.
"No, it wasn't a boy being a boy. Look at Ron and Harry, sure they are curious, but never to the extent that only a Malfoy's arrogance can achieve." He said in a deadly calm tone. "I need to think about this," He walked to his balcony and unleashed his wings, and with a mighty flap he was many feet in the air. Aphrodite did the same only her wings were pure gold, as was the girl behind her.
Harry took a double take and finally realized that it was none other than Ginny with shorter, golden wings. Ron was astonished, with his mouth gaping open, but Hermione was thrilled.
"Oh Ginny, I had no idea!" She screeched, she grabbed Ginny in an embracing hug. "Well how did you do it?" She asked excitedly.
"Sorry Hermione, but I've a man with bigger wings to catch." She leapt out of the window and tried to catch up.
"Wow, I didn't have a clue." Hermione said, she looked at Harry "What's wrong with you?" She said sternly.
"I didn't know she had those.those.things." He said quietly.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"She looks like some kind of..circus freak." Harry said. He realized this just made Ginny unattractive to him. He was surprised but felt no remorse.
At that moment Ron pushed him to the ground "That circus freak is my sister and even if she has wings she's still the same Ginny." Ron stormed off with Hermione on his tail.
Harry thought for what seemed like hours. The girl he started to fall more and more in love with was just nothing to him anymore. He didn't know what came over him but things were just different. After long minutes of thinking he walked out of Amadeus's quarters and just guessed her time in his heart was over, now she's just Ron's little sister.

Amadeus flew much faster than Ginny had expected; within seconds he was right above the lake where the giant squid was watching Amadeus with great interest. After circling the lake three times his wings just stopped and Amadeus hit the lake with a loud smack.
After a couple of minutes Amadeus was brought up by many tentacles. His eyes were barely open and his clothes were torn. He wasn't too much of a God; maybe he did have his weaknesses.
Aphrodite and Ginny took opposite arms and flew him back to his room and laid him on his bed. Since the flying obviously was strenuous, the girls ate the food that had been preciously brought up by the house elves. Soon Amadeus woke up and spat up some sea water.
"What just happened?" He said groggily while looking around the room
"You mean you don't remember?" Ginny asked.
"I remember," He chuckled. "What I did to Malfoy, but something just made me lose my control." He lied back and watched the ceiling
"Are you hungry?" Aphrodite asked.
"No, that's alright," he sighed "I've seen better days."
"Its all right, it's over now, no need to get hung up in the past." Aphrodite said. "I believe you taught me that one."
Amadeus smirked "I did, didn't I?" he looked at Ginny "How did you like flying?" He asked.
"It's hard, and tiring." She took a bite out of her chicken wing "I need to remember to bring food next time." She laughed.
"You'll get used to it. Soon that weight will melt off of you." He said with a smirk; he was obviously expecting a reaction.
"You think...hey!" Ginny threw a pillow at Amadeus.
"Well you could stand to loose a little off your hips." She gave Ginny's rear end a quick glance. "Maybe back there as well." She grinned evilly.
"Why are you two ganging up on me?" Ginny asked.
"We don't gang up, we double team." Aphrodite said.
"Just pointing out minor truths." Amadeus added.
After long hours of arguing about Ginny's weight she agreed to leave. They had a conversation about where Amadeus was going to sleep, finally his daughter climbed into the bed with him which was enough to get him to sleep on his couch. Ginny had gotten permission to go back to his quarters first thing in the morning.
Ginny went back to an empty Gryffindor tower and immediately went to sleep. She woke up before dawn and ran as fast as she could back to the dark arts corridor. She was surprised that everyone was awake but something about Amadeus was much different.
"You like it?" He said, she noticed his hair went down to the bottom of his back. "It seems my lovely daughter was up in the middle of the night and got a kick out of seeing me with long hair again." He said.
Aphrodite giggled. "You have to admit it does look good. It makes you look like a respectable hit man, just like the old days." She smiled.
"Well thank you." He said with a grin. "At least clinch it in the middle so it won't get into my face please." Ginny did as he asked and walked over to a long rod on leaning on the wall.
"What's this, a new staff?" She asked. It was the only thing she thought it could be; it was slightly taller than him with a slight curve to it.
"Oh that, no it's from a muggle performer, he's a wizard though." He said while picking it up. "His name is Ozzy, Ozzy Ozbourne." He said with a smirk. "But this, this is a new sword." He unsheathed the sword and Ginny's eyes lit up. It was a long, recently polished sword. It was thin for speed but extremely long, around eight feet. Amadeus twirled it around without effort, any normal person wouldn't be able to lift it, let alone twirl it with such grace.
"I still don't believe in swords father" Aphrodite said.
"Then what is that thing you make which strongly resembles a sword." He said while raising one eyebrow.
Aphrodite clapped her hands together and a long blue shadow immersed from her closed hands.
"This is not a sword." She said while spinning it around. Amadeus turned around and threw an orange at her, which she cut in half.
"It's a sword." He said casually, after turning back to what he was previously doing. Aphrodite turned red with anger and punched her father. "You used to hit stronger than that, what happened to you?" He asked.
"Shut up." She spat. "Maybe my whole life hasn't been fighting." She said viciously.
"Is this because you didn't defend yourself yesterday?" Ginny asked. "It's neither of your concerns." She said angrily, she pouted her way into the bathroom and closed the door.
"She a different kind of girl; the oldest yet most immature of her kind." He said with a smile on his face. "So what are your plans for later in the day?"
"Well I agreed to go somewhere with Hermione, I'm still not sure where though. It's not even a Hogsmeade weekend." Ginny sat down in an arm chair next to Amadeus.
"Well whatever you end up doing I hope you have fun." He said.
"I hope so; you know Hermione and her book talk." Ginny said.
"You're starting to sound like your brother, but what you know that he doesn't is the fact that you can change the conversation." He said.
"How?" Ginny asked; she really needed to know.
"Well you're a girl and so is she; I'll leave it at that." He said.
"Oh I get it; we can talk about girl stuff." She said brightly.
"See, there you have it." He laid his head back "No problems at all." He instantly sprung up. "I hate having my hair with these pin.things!" He tried to get it off but it sprung open and all of his hair went flying into his face. "This.no.funny!" He could hear Aphrodite giggling in the bathroom.
He turned over to Ginny. "I'm going to get her, and you're going to help." Ginny nodded but tipped over with laughter. "Maybe I'll get both of you." He stood up and opened the door. "Well I need a shower and I can't very well have two teenager girls in my quarters while I do it." They both gave him dirty looks. "Well it's unethical! Besides, breakfast is about to begin, why don't you two get something to eat early and I'll meet up with you." The girls walked down to the empty great hall and enjoyed a solitary breakfast. It wasn't long before Hermione walked in and sat across from them.
"Ginny, were going out today, right?" She asked.
"Of course, where are we going to be going anyway?" Ginny asked after a bite of bacon.
"There's a nice spot by the lake, we just need to have a talk, that's all." She said while fixing her self a plate.
The familiar strides of Amadeus echoed through the halls and he sat down next to them.
"Hello Hermione, where are the." He started, and then corrected himself, "Sleeping, of course." He said with a chuckle. He grabbed a large roll and took a bite, then took a swig of pumpkin juice and made a sour face. "I'm still not used to this stuff." He said with his face puckered.
"Well Ginny, I think we should get going while it's still early." Hermione leaned over and whispered. "This is important."
They both stood up and walked out of the school out towards the Lake.
Amadeus stayed alone in the Great Hall and waited for breakfast to begin. As the students filed in they gave quick look over Amadeus' new look and most of the girls looked at him quickly and turned away while giggling.
After most of the students filed in, Amadeus noticed a significant decrease in the number of Gryffindor girls, although there was something about the boys that couldn't be more oblivious.
More and more groups of boys standing next to one boy who would open a piece of paper and close it quickly, then the clusters broke up with grinning boys walking back to there seats. It seemed Harry and Ron were the only two not participating in the fun.
Amadeus took a seat across from them. "What's wrong you two?" He asked.
"Nothing, you know the usual." Harry said.
"Well then maybe you can tell me what's going on around here?" He asked popping a grape into his mouth. Ron leaned over a whispered into his ear; his face twisted more after every word. Amadeus looked livid.
He stood up and shouted "CREEVEY!" There was instant silence as Colin glided to Amadeus's hand.
"We have to talk." He said like venom in the air.
Finally Aphrodite got up the nerve to speak. "Its nothing really father, just a boy being a boy-" She was cut off by her father.
"No, it wasn't a boy being a boy. Look at Ron and Harry, sure they are curious, but never to the extent that only a Malfoy's arrogance can achieve." He said in a deadly calm tone.
