Author's note: Harry Potter belongs to Rowling. I am not her. Sorry for the late submission guys, but here's a longer chapter! Enjoy everyone!
Chapter 16
Luckily, Harri didn't have to deal with looking at Snape after she basically moaned after he touched her. Harri felt horrified by her behavior and to ashamed to look at Snape. She only had Charms and Herbology in the morning on Wednesday and Astronomy in the night. Harri wouldn't have to deal with Snape until the next day.
When Harri had woken in the morning, she was still wearing her clothing from the previous day. And the Dairy was reacting negatively, trying to get her attention. Harri put her barriers up and ignored the feeling of trying to write in it, knowing that Tom was using some of his limited powers to influence the diary to impulse her into writing to him.
Severus walked to the headmaster's office, already deciding on how to breach the topic on the headmasters only favorite Slytherin.
'Jolly Rancher' Snape sneered. Snape climbed the spiral staircase and Dumbledore smiled at him with the damn twinkle in his eye.
"Why, Severus. To what do I owe this visit?" Snape not in the mood to indulge the old man curtly said,
"Headmaster, we have a problem with Potter" Albus sighed disappointingly at Severus, not wanting to listen to more of Severus's rants about sweet Harri.
"Now, Severus…"
"Don't 'Now, Severus' me Dumbledore!" Snape snapped distressed at being ignored about his warnings of the girl. He had told Dumbledore already that the girl was off and that she sexualized herself far too often on purpose. Always flirting with the older years, kissing the older years like yesterday morning, her lingering touches towards the male population and her eyes that dripped with lust last night when he tried to get her to snap out of it.
"Here's the memory of last night's detention" Severus hurriedly gave Dumbledore the vial with his memory. Dumbledore looked gravely at Severus, fearing what could have agitated Severus to this degree that he would come to his office first thing in the morning. Without another word, Dumbledore took the memory and injected it into the pensive where they both got sucked into.
The memory started with Severus grading essays and waiting for Potter to arrive so that she can start cleaning cauldrons and then have her take her potion with her so that she can take after dinner. Severus heard a knock on his door and called her in.
Young Harriet Potter strolled into the office looking very youthful and innocent thought Dumbledore. With her muggle clothing, she looked just like Lily Potter but perhaps with a bit more flare to her clothing. Young Harriet had smiled at Severus when she saw him. Meanwhile the present Severus studied young Harriet's reaction very closely.
Dumbledore watched with amusement how the young Slytherin bickered with Severus over her clothing and looked disapprovingly at Severus when he took a swig from the olden whiskey hidden in the flask. But Dumbledore was surprised and pleased that the girl wasn't serious about the boys at Hogwarts as she had a bigger destiny then to get married and settle down. It will be good if Harri didn't have anybody she had a romantic attachment to, that would make it easier for Dumbledore to guide her towards the right path and get her to sacrifice herself for the greater good. But it was also concerning how she had said that she had a preference for older men. The situation turned worse as afterwards everything took a worse turn when a Young Harriet was staring intently at Severus physique with fascination and a dreamy misty look in her eyes.
Young Harriet snapped out of her delusion and Snape noticed this time around that Potter looked panicked at realizing that she had fallen in a trance over himself.
That was when Potter's startled green eyes got a panicked caged-animal look and she started to hit herself repeatedly over her head with a book of his, ruffling her flaming red hair.
Dumbledore noticed how Severus immediately went to help her out of her trance, trying to shake her shoulders but it backfired almost immediately when young Harriet let out a strangled whimper from being manhandled. This was beyond awful, thought Dumbledore. Harriet's time with her relatives has really had a damage on her psyche, Dumbledore lamented.
Dumbledore watched on in horror as a flushing Harriet touched herself where Severus's hands were previously placed and realizing what she was doing she panicked and started to bang her head on the wall. Severus yelled at the girl and watched as Harriet cursed, took her potion, and practically ran out of the office. Both men were ejected from the pensive and there was a long silence before Snape was the first to break the silence,
"The girl needs a mental Healer Albus." But Dumbledore immediately disagreed.
"I don't think that is necessary Severus, it's just case of puppy love." Dumbledore countered, not wanting the healers to notice what he thought was the horcrux in her forehead. Snape sneered at the old man.
"Puppy love isn't what Potter displayed; she needs help Albus!" Dumbledore shook his head and then said,
"Keep an eye on her Severus, and I trust that you will not be telling our colleagues about this." And with that that, Dumbledore ended the conversation and turned away continuing with his paperwork and thinking of possibilities with this new development leaving Severus fuming at being ignored and shut down. Severus stormed out of the office, pissed off that nothing resulted out of the revelation of Potter's mental state.
Severus stormed to the great hall to oversee his head of house duties and give Potter her morning potion.
Harri went down to the great hall after calming herself down and putting on her school robes, ignoring the Diary insistency to write to her. Harri climbed out of her trunk and headed to breakfast after putting her hair into an agreeable state.
Harri walked behind a group of 5th year Slytherin girls, unknowingly listening into their conversation about the best type of man to marry after Hogwarts.
"He has to be wealthy enough to finance my luxuries" one of the girls said.
"He must be older than me, wizards don't mature as fast as witches. I want a wizard that knows what he wants and doesn't waste my time" another one said. And Harri had to agree with that.
"I want one that can satisfy me in more than one way." And the group of 6 Slytherin girls laughed at the crude joke. Harri pretended to read her book and then one of the other girls noticing the first year behind them scolded the other witches.
"There's a firstie behind us!" The other girl didn't seem to care about that and only giggled at being overheard by the first year. Harri met their eyes and shrugged at them.
"I think that I know more about the topic then any of you" and that took all of their attention.
"Is that right Potter?" they asked, clearly knowing who she was. Harri smiled and passed her book over to Farley waiting for her to take the book and read the first paragraph. Harri's eyes gleamed in mischief catching the attention of the other five girls. One of the girls goaded Farley to take the book and read the contents of it, finally noticing that it was more than a Potter potion book that it appeared to be at first glance. In fact, it was the book that they always saw Potter reading during her mealtimes.
Farley took the book from Harri and Harri walked with them in total confidence, not shriveling at being in the presence of older students. Farley opened the book where Harri had marked and read to the girls,
'His rough voice was my undoing. Daniel's hot breath hit my neck and I immediately felt a moistness between my legs. He took no hesitation in taking what he thought was his and lapped at my neck with his tongue, taking liberties with me like no other men had. He didn't care that he was ruining me, he only cared that he was hard for her and needed to be inside her. Daniel placed his hot mouth on one of my…' Harri chuckled as Farley stopped reading and her face turned red. Harri took back her book and smiled up at them.
"Would you all like a copy?" Harri asked the girls, taking amusement from of all of their red faces. The girls entered the Great Hall, and they all lead Harri to sit with them so that they could continue this conversation. Harri sat between them, and Farley asked her,
"Where did you purchase that book? I don't think the Potters would have had a book like that." Harri laughed and nodded,
"It's charmed to look like a Potter book. This book is so filthy that I have to disguise it." Harri gleamed at them. All of the girls leaned over to speak in private, not noticing the boys in their year wondering what they were doing with the firstie in between them. The first years also wondered what Harri was doing in between a group of upperclassmen.
Another one of the girls then reluctantly gave into Harri's offer,
"I'll take a copy…" and the other girls were scandalized.
"Meg!" they all exclaimed, clearly scandalized.
"What?!" she defended herself. "Don't act like you're not interested in the book!"
"Don't come asking me to borrow the book once I'm finished if this is how you're going to react" Meg exclaimed.
Harri smirked and made six copies of her book, and eventually all 6 girls begrudgingly took the offered book and put it away to read in the privacy of their sheets.
"It's muggle, so it is positively filthy. The things you will read in this will blow your minds. You should be able to understand many of the terms because it involves fantasy, pirates, and noblewoman." All six girls looked scandalized at reading a muggle erotica but secretly were a bit excited to read contraband. None of the girls said anything about that and Meg wanting to move the conversation forwards asked Harri,
"So, Potter, what type of man do you prefer?" Harri smiled at the topic change and was glad that they hadn't asked her to leave after getting copies of her book.
"Do you mean the type of man I would Marry or Shag?" and all of the girls looked gleeful that the firstie could provide such interesting conversation that they usually were too reserve to talk about without others starting the conversation up first. Everyone wanted to talk about it, but no one wanted to be the first to breach the topic and appear uncouth. All of the girls nodded eagerly, wanting to hear what someone like Potter had to say.
"Shag first" Farley said. Harri nodded and gave a second before she immediately said,
"Abraxas Malfoy" And all of the girls started to howl with laughter causing the Great Hall to look at the odd group of girls with the first-year student in the middle of them.
"Malfoy's grandfather!?" a blonde one asked. Harri smirked at them shamelessly and said,
"Well obviously, when he was in his prime." They continued to laugh and the Slytherin table to turned to listen in more closely at what they were saying after Potter had mentioned something about Abraxas Malfoy.
"Abraxas had a manliness to him that makes any women swoon, he didn't have the French beauty that Lord Lucius and Draco have. It was more of a ruggedness that promised to leave you satisfied with bruised lips, and well shagged." All of the girls squealed and giggled at the girl talk, and down the table some of the boys coughed into their pumpkin juice at what they were hearing from the girls, and from Potter no less. Luckily Draco wasn't there to listen in on how Harri wanted to shag his grandfather. Harri continued to speak,
"He probably wouldn't have touched me because I'm a half blood, but that's what's make it all the more exciting. Being the undoing of a man and breaking a usually composed man and leaving him a mess is what life is all about." Harri went on to the amusement of the girls, and the girls were losing it.
The usually perfectly pureblood coifed girls were having trouble keeping their tittering in and were causing a scene at the Slytherin table.
"I would also shag Alphard Black and Rabastan Lestrange." Causing the girls to go into more fits of giggles and people down their table to indecently spit out their pumpkin juice.
"There is just something about Dark, dark-haired and handsome men that really gets me going, I heard that Rabastan Lestrange is tall and was a beater in his Hogwarts years. So athletic as well? That's the cherry on the top" Harri leered, enjoying herself about finally being able to open up and talk about men with other women, well almost women. The other girls laughed and agreed with Harri.
"But I would marry a family man, a man that would be a good father to my children. I'm already well off so I don't need a man to look after my needs when I have all the galleons I would ever need, and I can take my seat on the Wizengamot, and my husband wouldn't have the need to work either." All of the girls nodded agreeing with Harri.
"I agree Potter" an Avery said from across the table giving Harri a contemplative look.
"Dark haired men know how to satisfy their witches" he said casually, Harri rolled her eyes, noticing that he had dark hair. Harri smiled at him flirtatiously.
"Do you speak because you have firsthand experience with blokes with dark hair?" across the table, the Slytherins openly laughed at the interaction between the first year and sixth year students. Avery didn't get offended and took it with good humor.
"I could show you, when you're older, if you'd like" Harri licked her lips and raked her eyes on his body.
"My body isn't physically ready for intercourse but give me a couple of years and I'll make you glad that you were born a man." Avery looked impressed and nodded at her, intrigued by the firstie. The upperclassman where rioting and banging their goblets on the table when Professor Snape just happened to walk into the Great Hall to see his usually well behaved Slytherins rowdier than their Gryffindor counterparts with all of the school staring at them in surprise. Snape was about to scold all the upperclassman when he noticed that in between them was one of his younger snakes seated in the middle of the table holding court like she belonged there, with all of the upperclassman leaning towards her, waiting for what she would say next, and he immediately knew that she was the cause of this havoc. He noticed Potter smiling at Avery of all people and giving him a stare that reminded him of the one that he had received the previous night.
"Settle down Slytherins" Snape sneered at them, making his presence known. And it was a wonder how any of them hadn't noticed him before. And that's when Harri noticed him as well and had all of the upperclassmen laughing with a couple of words.
"Talking about older, dark-haired man" Harri leered. McGonagall had to assist Snape when his students wouldn't settle down and go into another round of laughing fits, resulting in McGonagall taking points from them, causing them to laugh harder.
