Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince chapter #2
They arrived at the doorstep of #12 Grimmauld Place with Harry's stuff in hand and looked around before knocking on the door. A few seconds later it opened revealing a slightly irritated looking Sirius Black. Although upon seeing Albus, a young man, and a beautiful young woman, he immediately carried a worried expression automatically thinking the worst. He was about to ask what they were doing here when the stranger engulfed him in a huge unexpected hug so he was incidentally thrown backwards into the house. When the stranger finally got off him he got a good look at him and was shocked to see bright, green eyes and a lighting bolt scar. Only one person had that scar that he knew, his godson Harry Potter.
"Harry is that you" Sirius asked astonished. He could not believe this was really his godson. "Sirius you have to be serious don't you recognize me" Harry questioned with a little hurt in his voice and Sirius was not so stupid as to miss it. ''Of course I recognize you its just that you have changed so much it's hard to identify you Harry" Sirius said defending himself while standing up.
"You know what Sirius that is exactly the same reaction I got when I ran into my Uncle this morning, except he wasn't so nice about it." Harry concluded. "Anyway is anyone else staying here?" Harry asked. "Yes as a matter of fact Hermione and her mom and dad are also staying here for the rest of the holidays because their house is not protected enough and Hermione is one of Voldemorts prime targets." His Godfather concluded.
Just then, there was a sound of some one falling down some stairs and Mrs. Blacks screams filled the air"Nasty little mudbloods, blood traitors, murderers, filthy half bloods, scum, be gone be gone from my house. Kreacher get them out NOW." she thundered. Kreacher came running down the from the hall looking positively delighted at the order his Mistress had given him. "Yes my Mistress" the little old elf, said. Already he had started putting spells on them to make them not be able to move even Albus couldn't move or stop the elf. Once every one was bound even Hermione, her parents, and Jasmine he was about to ask what his mistress wanted him to do next when he saw movement out of the corner of his tennis ball sized eye. He was about to turn around when he heard a voice that was filled with rage.
"Don't you dare move Kreature or I will hurt you." The voice roared.
"No you won't, you cant do magic out of school yet, you are not of legal age you filthy Half Blood and you are too noble to hurt a poor elf." Kreacher countered smirking, while turning around towards Harry expecting to find a scared expression only to have his smirk wiped off in an instant when he found a look of amusement on the young mans face. "Wanna bet " he asked, while thinking of the STUPEFY spell and a spell that he was sure he had never read of before that stopped elves and humans from apparating and dissapparating in the designated space. He put his hands out in front of him by instinct then thought of the spells going through the tips of his fingers and towards the pitiful elf. Light started coming from them as his power started building up and finally it sent a jet of red light towards the elf and yellow lights all over the room. Kreacher started smirking again thinking that he could easily dodge these by apparation, but when he tried to apparate, he found that he couldn't he immediately started panicking. His last thought was I'm sorry I failed you my Mistress before all went black.
Everyone in the room was quite shocked to say the least at the scene displayed before them only seconds ago.
Harry looked around the room after making sure the elf was alive to find shocked faces and gaping mouths everywhere the only person that wasn't speechless was Jasmine. He started to feel very self-conscious so he decided to bring everyone out of his or her daze in a unique sort of way. "So Jasmine" he started "do you know about all of my powers or just the ones that I have showed you" he asked. "Well Harry" she responded walking up to him "I would like to know how you are in bed to see if you have a talent in that but I am a Phoenix so I don't know if the mating rituals are the same as yours." She answered with a purr.
"Jasmine I didn't know you were a flirting kind of girl!" Harry gasped, blushing bright red. He had definitely not planned this. "Hermione you know Lavender, Parvati, and Cho well I think that she will be like the three of them put together in one which in my opinion is a very bad thing." Harry concluded. Now everyone was even more dumbfounded and Hermione's parents had fainted. "Okay someone say something I was trying to get all of you out of your stupor but it seems as though I have done the opposite." Harry said frowning. Then he got an idea. "Quick everyone get up someone betrayed the Order because Voldemort is outside now" Harry lied, while grabbing his forehead as though it hurt. That got everyone out his or her daze. Everyone started running toward the door to stop the deatheaters except Sirius who was looking in Harry's eyes and what he saw made him want strangles the kid for giving a false alarm. He could clearly see the amusement in his godsons eyes he had just done this to get them out of their daze he could see it clearly now. Everyone stopped what he or she was doing when they heard hysterical laughing from the room that they had occupied seconds earlier. Everyone exchanged livid glances. They now knew what Harry had done and they were going to get him back for it.
They ran in to the room to find Harry laughing hysterically on the ground. Hermione, her parents who were still passed out from shock and Jasmine were all to stunned to do anything. Sirius, who looked even more livid than they did, was trying to cast powerful curses and hexes at him, which only looked to be bouncing off the famous young man. Every person started throwing all kinds of harmful curses and hexes at him, which only seemed to bounce off of him like Sirius's did.
Finally, after many of his people were down with cuts and bruises by there own spells Albus got an idea. "Everyone I have got an idea" he stated "we are all going to throw our strongest hexes and curses at the same time that way maybe we can break through his defenses" he told them. They all agreed with him on that plan. So they counted down to one then threw their strongest magic at the idiotic kid before them. They could tell that his defenses were a lot weaker now so they did his plan one more time but with medium curses and hexes.
His defenses finally broke and they each put a body bind and stupefy spell on him to make sure he did not break out. However, they did not see him start moving again only Hermione did. In addition, with all the attention of the people there she walked right up to him and SMACK. She had smacked him so hard that it knocked him unconscious, left a huge red hand print and made everybody wince visibly as if they had been smacked too. "Hermione why did you hit him and where did you learn to hit like that." Sirius questioned cautiously not wanting to be hit too. "Well I hit him because he would not black out with magic, because he scared the living hell out of me when he said that Voldemort was here, and because he openly flirted with that girl when I like him a lot even if he doesn't know it. I am not going to tell him about my feelings though because if he doesn't share them I would be absolutely crushed and I do not want it ruining our friendship." She said. "And don't even think about telling him that or you won't even have a nose when I am through with you." Hermione threatened. "Okay Mione I will make sure no tells me your big secret and by the way I do share your feelings and that girl is really a phoenix so I don't think it should be a problem if I flirt with her. Although I might ask for fashion tips from her but that would be it otherwise she is just a friend." Harry concluded seriously.
"You do" Hermione asked feebly incase she heard wrong. "I do" Harry reassured her. "O Harry" Hermione cried, as flung herself at him pulling him into a bone crushing hug. Then pulling back slightly she looked into his eyes and all she saw was love, love for her. She then proceeded to pull him into a mind blowing kiss, which Harry's mind registered the thought that this is not something you do on a first kiss before all went blank as she thrust her tongue in his mouth causing him to gasp in surprise. Just as she started swirling her tongue long side his they heard two loud gasps. They immediately sprang apart to see nobody was there except for Hermione's parents who had just been enervated by a one Sirius Black. Who had just sprinted out of the room hoping that he could stall his punishment for ruining their first kiss. This was sure to be even worse because Harry was clearly able to use magic now.
Hermione's parents were looking at the two lover's kiss with eyes wide and mouths hanging open. What was worse was the fact that it was their daughter putting the moves on the young man and not the other way around. Therefore, they couldn't hurt the hurt the poor boy for taking advantage of their daughter at her most vulnerable point. Because it was their daughter taking advantage of the green eyed boy at his most vulnerable point. They could see that Harry was absolutely melting and looked about to lose consciousness a few seconds ago. They certainly wondered where their daughter had learned to kiss like that.
Harry and Mione were scared to death; Hermione parents had seen them kissing. Not only that, but they had seen them kissing in tongues. They wondered what their punishment would be for this. The two waited and waited but none came. The adults just continued to stare at them and the silence was becoming unbearable. Finally, Harry decided to break it.
"Mione what's your parents name" he whispered quietly into Hermione 's ear. "Robert and Jamie" she answered, just as quietly. "Thanks" he added.
"Ah Mr. and Mrs. Granger" he started, trying to get their attention. Which it did, quickly snapping them out of their reverie. The first thing that came out of Roberts's mouth was "Hermione Jane Granger, where in the heck did you learn to kiss like that? Because I know for a fact that you can't learn how to do that from just a book." he concluded. "Yeah I would like to know about that too, because I have never seen you kiss anybody before now." Harry quickly added, wanting to know the answer to that also.
Everyone could see that the answer to this question was troubling her a lot. It looked as though she was about to cry as she turned her gaze to look directly at Harry. Harry wanted to comfort her but, he could tell that this was bad and that it involved him by the look in her eyes begging him to forgive her.
As she started telling her story, she seemed to become sadder and sadder thinking that her answer could and probably would end their friendship and any chance that she had had with him. "Well" she started, "Ron and I got together over the summer before fifth year hoping that we could become more than friends after we found out that we had feelings for each other, little feelings but nevertheless they were their. Over the year, we continued going out meaning we continued secretly meeting all over the castle with each other. Although at the middle of the year, we started thinking that we were better off as friends. Because we always had to hide the fact that we were more than friends. The feelings of guilt that we got from lying to you because we did not know what your reaction would be were too much for us to handle. So we broke up and made an agreement to never tell anyone about us ever again. Moreover, I should have told you sooner. It might be to late for this but I am sorry." She finished, looking up to find anger, hurt, betrayal, and sadness written all over Harry's tear stained face and in his eyes, making her tear her eyes away from him. Although when she put them on her parents faces where she was startled to see anger directed at her. Making her feel even guiltier about what she and Ron had done.
Harry was a jumble of emotions right now. One he felt anger at his two best friends because they had went behind his back to get together. Two he felt hurt that they had been lying to him all this time, and three he felt betrayal that they hadn't even tried to tell their so called best friend about their relationship from the beginning.
He reasoned with them that he would feel left out, that it would most likely make a lot of awkward moments between the three of them, and it would probably put a strain on their friendship. So all in all he under stood there reasons not telling him and now that he thought about it he was kind of glad that they hadn't told him because it could have had disastrous effects on their friendship. Therefore, he decided that he would forgive them if he at least got to give Ron a good punch since he couldn't and wouldn't strike a lady.
"I forgive you because I understand your reasons for hiding it from me. It probably would have put a strain on our friendship and made a lot of awkward moments. So just tell me you guys didn't do any thing past kissing because that would still make a lot of awkward moments between us and please answer truthfully." Harry pleaded, hoping that they had not.
Hermione had turned more red than Rons hair after Harry had asked his last question. "No Harry we haven't done anything past kissing." She managed blushing even redder than earlier. Before she realized that he had excepted her apology making a big smile spread over her face lighting up her features and a happy sigh escape her lips, relief spreading over her.
Harry seeing the happy expression realized that she had finally comprehended what exactly he had said. "But that doesn't mean you have all of my trust is with you anymore. You will have to earn it back now. Therefore, for motivation I will tell you that I have a life and death secret inside of me right now it's called a Prophecy. Yes the same one that Neville broke" he answered after seeing her open her mouth to comment. "And I know it because it was originally told to Dumbledore and he told me what it said at the end of last year the second that we got back from the Department of Mysteries. So that is what you have to work for." Harry finished cryptically.
Now the young lady in the room was angry with herself and her new boyfriend because he knew a huge secret and he was blackmailing her with it. She was definitely going to get him back for it.
" Fine then I will have Crookshanks give you a good morning call every morning. How would you like that?" she asked thinking that she had him cornered there. " "Actually why don't you call him down now so I can show you something?" he countered with a huge grin on his face. So she did exactly that. A few seconds later Crookshanks came trotting down the stairs with head held high. 'Crookshanks' Harry questioned the little bottlebrush-tailed cat in feline language. It stopped so fast it was almost funny and slowly turned to where he had heard the voice not seeing any other cat it started walking toward his friend and master once again. Then he heard it again and this time he turned around so fast that the voice hadn't even finished saying his name yet. But what he saw was not what he was expecting and it made the cat's mouth hit the floor, there sitting on the floor in front of him was Harry calling him in the cat's language. He curiously walked up to him wondering if he was dreaming after having too much catnip.
'Hello Crookshanks please do not listen to Hermione when she tells you to give me a good morning wake up scratch ok. I will bother you all the time by talking to you until you go crazy if you do, so if you know what's good for you then you won't. Thank you.' He finished in cat tongue. Then after nodding he walked back over to his master/friend and rubbed his body against her tanned leg then started cleaning himself.
"Hermione are you in there I have been trying to get your attention for about two minutes now." Harry questioned irritably.
"Huh Yea Yeah I'm just a little freaked out that is all. Are able to talk to all animals?" she questioned appreciatively. "Yep I am, cool huh?" Harry asked. "Yeah it is cool, I wish I had that ability." She almost whined. Harry laughed thinking that it was funny when she whined over stupid stuff like this.
She hearing him laughing at her whining got mad and picked a pillow off the floor and put it in her lap trying to make it look inconspicuous so he wouldn't be ready for it when she threw it at him.
He seeing her pick a pillow off the floor tried to get ready for it to hit him but then she put it in her lap for her elbows to rest on so he knew she wouldn't be throwing it at him now. So he put his defenses down. Witch turned out to be a bad thing to do because he was hit with a pillow straight in the face the next second.
She saw him put his defenses down and put her plan into action. The pillow that had been in her lap milliseconds ago was now flying directly towards him and next second it collided right in his face making him fall backwards while laughing. With her also falling down from laughing so hard.
When they had finally calmed down enough to talk Harry started a conversation "Mione are we ah together now." He questioned lamely. She responded, by crawling from her spot on the floor to leaning over him, caressing his cheek with her thumb, and lowering her lips to his in another mind-blowing kiss. Luckily, her parents had left the room about five minutes earlier so they could have their private time. After about two minutes of kissing, the need to breathe became to strong to ignore and they pulled back slightly. While looking into each other's eyes which seemed to show the very soul of the other she finally answered him. "Did that answer your question." Before clamping her mouth over his in a passionate, kiss.
Meanwhile Sirius looked in and noticed them on the floor kissing. He hoped that she could keep him busy and his mind on other things besides the war that was going on at the present time. Because everyone knew that the kid deserved some fun in his life. With that, he closed the door so no one would walk in on them.
