Chapter 15 – Harry Tells a Secret:

Despite the excitement that Harry was feeling for the next day, where he would watch his daughter play his old position in a Quidditch match, he fell into a peaceful, deep slumber. Harry was rather surprised by how well he was sleeping in this new time frame. Maybe it was because Voldemort did not know of his existence, therefore, was not much of a threat. Or maybe it was because he knew Hermione and Remus were watching his every move. But deep down, Harry figured it was because of Lily's presence. Despite the fact that she sometimes infuriated him to the point of insanity, she made him feel content; like he knew that one day his life would mean something because he would take part in creating her. Harry knew Lily would do great things in her lifetime and that he was able to take part in her life.

Harry could feel the warm sunlight beaming on his face and he gave a soft smile at its warmth and pleasantness. His smile immediately disappeared when he felt a small nudge of his shoulder.

"Hey, Harry," said Eddie's voice, 'it's time to get up. You slept through the alarm again."

Harry groaned and grabbed his glasses from his bedside table. Putting them on, he sat up in bed and saw that Asher was earnestly trying to get dressed.

"You know, I've been trying to wake you up for the past ten minutes," said Eddie. "I heard you were a light sleeper."

"I guess I'm more comfortable here," said Harry with a shrug. Asher did not make anything of the conversation. He was too busy going through his trunk, looking for his Gryffindor flag to bring to the match.

"You know, Ed," started Asher, "you would think we would be used to we should be used to it be now! Harry is not the only one who has trouble getting up in the morning. Sometimes I feel like waking up Lily is resurrecting her from the dead." Eddie glanced at Harry and grinned. Harry rolled his eyes and laughed as he got out of bed and changed into his robes. He noticed that Eddie was wearing the Gryffindor Quidditch robes.

"Are you ready for the Quidditch match today?" asked Harry inquisitively. Eddie nodded.

"With Lily as captain, we're always ready," said Eddie. "The match is in twenty minutes."

Harry beamed as he headed down to the Great Hall with Eddie and Asher. He was actually very excited to be seeing his daughter play his old position. From what he had heard through word of mouth, Lily was a very talented Quidditch player. Harry was also pleased to hear that she would be riding his old broomstick, the Firebolt. It was no longer the flashiest broom on the field, but definitely one of the fastest.

When the three of them reached the Great Hall, Harry saw Lily and Robby sitting at the Gryffindor table, laughing. Both girls were wearing their Quidditch robes. Harry took a seat next Eddie and across from Lily. He sat in anxious silence as they talked about the upcoming match. Harry was not really listening, but helping himself to another bowl of cereal when he heard a frosty voice from behind him.

"Well, if it isn't Captain Potter," said the voice. Harry knew right away that it was Daris Malfoy. The reason he knew that, was not because he recognized the voice, but because Lily was looking behind Harry with a look of the deepest loathing.

"Do you have anything better to do with your life, Malfoy?" snarled Lily.

"I just wanted you to know that I would watch yourself at the match today, if I were you, Potter," said Malfoy coolly. Harry spun around in his seat to stand up and face Malfoy.

"Is that a threat?" snarled Harry sounding quite similar to Lily.

"No, no threat, Evans, a promise," said Malfoy coolly. Before any of them could make a response, he stalked back to the Slytherin table with a smug smirk on his pug face. Harry, Lily, Eddie, Asher, and Robby all glared at him as he walked off.

"I swear if he-"

"Eddie, don't even think about it. I can take care of myself!" snapped Lily. She noticed Harry's clenched fists. "That goes for you too, Harry. Remember what we talked about?" Harry turned to look at her, his mouth opened and ready to protest, but when he saw the determination in her bright, emerald green eyes, he sighed with defeat and just nodded. Lily nodded back before standing up and pulling on Robby and Eddie's collars.

"C'mon, we have to get ready for the match!" said Lily anxiously, though one could hear the excitement in her voice. The three of htem raced out of the Great Hall. Harry and Asher just chuckled and rolled their eyes before looking at each other awkwardly

Thankfully, the awkwardness did not last long because it was only a short matter of time before Harry and Asher joined the other two Gryffindor boys and the third Gryffindor girl. Harry was rather shocked that even though he had spent the last few days in the Gryffindor dormitories, he did not even know who they were. For the first time since he had arrived at Hogwarts, he got a good look at the other three Gryffindor fifth years. The first boy was extremely tall and skinny with olive skin and big brown eyes. The other boy was about Harry's height, had wavy brown hair, blue gray eyes, and brown freckles. The girl, who was shyly hiding behind the two boys, had long brown hair, the same blue gray eyes as the second boy, and a pretty smile.

"Hey Jairus, Danny, Mandy," said Asher, waving. They three turned and smiled at the two coming toward them

"Hey Asher!" the boy with the olive skin called back. Asher ran toward them to catch up and Harry followed. "Ready to watch Gryffindor wipe the floor with Slytherin?"

"Always," said Asher proudly with a smile. The three of them looked at Harry curiously, anxious to finally meet him at least.

"Everyone, this is Harry Evans," said Asher, gesturing towards Harry. The three of them nodded politely as the girl blushed severely. Harry had never seen anyone so shy in his life. "Harry, this Jairus Engers-" The tall boy with olive skin stepped forward and shook Harry's hand.

"And Danny and Mandy Micrelle, they are twins," said Asher smiling. Harry shook his hands with both of them. When everyone had been properly introduced, the five students walked down to the Quidditch Pitch together and took their seats. Harry could hear commentator's voice and asked Asher on who the commentator.

"Stan Smith," said Asher, waving his flag and making rude finger gestures at the Slytherins.

"Now, I give you the Gryffindor Qudditch Team!" screamed Stan, his voice carrying throughout the stadium. "We have Weasley, Andrews, Jerffers, Thomas, Kellberg, Yameh, aaaaaand Potter, the new captain, and a rather attractive captain too, if I do say so myself-"

"Smith!" said McGonagall's voice in a warning tone. Harry could not see Stan, but he glared at the direction from which Stan's voice was coming from with his fists clenched. Harry did not fully understand why he was giving Stan a deathly glare. After all, Lily was more than capable of taking care of herself, especially when it came to boys. She had done more than prove that. But, Harry figured that Lily being his daughter, it was only natural he was overprotective of her, just like at dinner at the Windum. He tried and wanted to stay out of Lily's romantic and dating life, but Harry could not help but feel the need to get involved. It was just a natural feeling. Unfortunatley, Harry was so deep in his thoughts that he did not notice Asher watching him curiously.

"I KNEW IT!" shouted Asher, making Harry jump out of his thoughts and nearly out of his seat.

"Knew what?" he asked blankly, regaining his composure. Asher grinned.

"I knew you liked Lily!" whispered Asher excitedly. Harry stared at him for a moment without blinking, letting Asher's ridiculous comment soak into his brain, then immediately burst out laughing.

"Of course I don't like her," laughed Harry. "Not in that way! Where would you come up with such a ridiculous idea like that?"

"Well, I'm not the only one who thinks that," said Asher slowly, annoyed at Harry laughing at him in. "The whole school thinks that. After all, you are awfully protective of her and you're always staring at her in this weird way."

"Sure, I care about her a great deal, but, I don't like her in that way," reaffirmed Harry.

"But, you care about her?"

"Yes!"

"A lot?"

"Yes," repeated Harry, sounding a little annoyed.

"A real whole lot?"

"Yes," said Harry, becoming impatient.

"Do you think you may love her?"

"Of course," said Harry without hesitation. Asher was taken aback by his forwardness and grinned awkwardly.

"So, you admit that you love her," said Asher slowly, trying to work out everything in his head. Harry gave an exasperated sigh.

"I will never deny that I love her."

"So you do like her!"

"No," said Harry firmly, in an attempt to keep Asher calm. "I do not love her in a romantic way."

"How can you love her and but not love her like that?" asked Asher, not comprehending that Harry's love for Lily was a different kind of love. Harry sighed and ran a frustrated hand through his messy hair.

"There are all different kinds of love, Asher. I do love Lily, but not in a romantic way," explained Harry. "I guess there is no other way to explain it except to tell you the truth. You had better come with me." With that, Harry got up from his seat and urged Asher to follow him, which he did, but looked rather annoyed about missing the beginning of the match. When the two of them reached the far end of the stadium, where there were no prying eyes or ears within range, Harry turned to face Asher with a serious look blazing in his emerald depths. It was at that moment that Asher understood that this was a serious moment and took a deep, shaky breath before letting Harry speak.

"Asher, what I am about to tell you is top secret," explained Harry seriously, his eyes never leaving Asher's. "You can't tell a soul. Promise me, as a friend, that you will not tell anybody what I am about to tell you. If you do tell anyone, both Lily and I could be in very serious danger."

"I promise," promised Asher without hesitation. Harry raised an eyebrow and held out his hand.

"As a friend?"

"As your friend and as Lily's friend," responded, Asher, shaking Harry's hand to seal his promise. With his word and honor, Harry gave a weak, nervous grin, sighed, and took his hand to lift his bangs, revealing his lightning bolt scar.
