Chapter 7- War of the Sisters

"And just wait for the spell. Don't make haste. If you want to redirect your spell, you should wait until the last moment." Harry explained.

"Make sure you create a box around you. The moment the spell enters your imagined boundary, make sure to imagine that you are swatting a ball away. " Harry explained.

"The difficult part is to amass the power and concentration needed." He continued.

"But more than the power, you need to have utmost concentration. A single moment of lapse will lead to being hit." He explained.

"It's sort of a banishing charm. It has the very same effect. The spell, 'deflector'. And I urge caution. If you practice a lot, you will be able to manage second level spells." He said.

"By practice, you will be able to move onto higher level spells." He replied and Bellatrix nodded.

It was a very weird request. One he certainly didn't expect from the girl in question.

Bellatrix had all but demanded that he teach her.

She had been an excellent student. An extremely good fighter. She grasped the concepts quickly. Her wand work was exemplary. She was a model duelist. Harry was frankly impressed. She worked very hard in training and she was becoming better every day.

The others trained with Harry as much as possible. And all of them were good. Harry welcomed the company very much. He was used to all this, doing things alone. But Bellatrix had been a very pleasant company. She trained with him every day.

Harry remembered the day very well.

FLASHBACK

"Why do you want me to teach you, Bellatrix?" Asked a flabbergasted Harry.

Bellatrix huffed.

"I don't want to repeat this, Harry." Her tone was filled with a hint of amusement and annoyance.

"But.."

"Ok just shut up." She snapped.

"You are the best I have ever seen with a wand. I want to learn Dueling from you. That's it. Full stop." She glared at the boy.

"I always wanted to be a duelist. That was my dream and is still my dream. I would have asked my grandfather or Uncle Charlus, but they are very busy. But that would have been moot. You are miles better than them already." She said, amused at the cute blush that adorned his face.

"So I want you to teach me. You will teach me. Is that clear?" She ordered.

Harry could only nod, not wanting to anger the quick-tempered woman.

Bellatrix smiled.

"Good." She said and then she did something that he had never expected from Bellatrix Black of all people.

She leaned forward and kissed him closer to his lips. "Thank you, Harry." She whispered, her eyes glazed in what seemed to be desire, but Harry being who he is, was too dumb to understand.

"I'll see you soon." She whispered and left.

FLASHBACK ENDS

"That was exhausting." Bellatrix panted as Harry stopped his barrage.

She had finally managed to deflect the spells. And she was proud of her handiwork. She was now capable of deflecting blasting curses and bone breakers.

Bellatrix knew that Harry was a powerhouse, but she truly had no idea about the extent of his ability.

FLASHBACK

"Where are you going?" Asked a curious Narcissa. Bellatrix smirked at her youngest sister.

"Training with Harry." She shrugged.

Narcissa glared at her sister.

"He is mine, Bellatrix Black. You better not get any ideas of that sort." Narcissa narrowed her eyes.

"I don't see your name on him." Bellatrix snarked. "Besides, whoever told you that I plan on letting you steal him away." She smirked leaving her fuming sister behind and left to the room where Harry had told her to come.

She frowned as she noticed a door. There was no door at this particular section of the wall.

She shrugged and entered the room, but immediately stopped dead in her tracks.

The sight in front of her was marvelous, to say the least.

Harry had forgone his shirt as he spun his wand in circles. Huge flames in the form of a dragon head roared over his wiry and muscular frame and Bellatrix noticed how his taut body flexed as he moved nimbly on his feet.

'Merlin that is tasty.' She licked her lips. She could feel the power rolling off him in waves.

"It's a good thing that I decided to get here early." She whispered.

Harry heard the noise apparently and quelled the flames. "You are early." He stated, grabbing his shirt and putting it back on, causing Bellatrix to curse softly.

"I wanted to be early. Didn't want to be late." She shrugged.

Harry nodded. "What do you want me to teach you?" He asked.

Bellatrix smirked with an excited gleam in her eyes.

"Everything." She had answered.

FLASHBACK ENDS

She didn't come to regret it. He was ruthless and rigorous in training. He didn't like it if she slacked. He didn't like it when she held back. She was very proud of her abilities. She prides herself as the best fighter in all of Hogwarts, but that was quelled well and truly by the young man in front of her.

Bellatrix sat down on the chair that the room provided, casually hiking up her skirt so that her thighs were exposed.

Harry sat opposite her. His eyes drifted to the exposed skin, but he blushed and averted his eyes.

Bellatrix cackled inwardly. She had made it her mission to tease and embarrass him. She loved to see him getting all flustered. He was extremely cute when he was flustered. Her stomach fluttered when she saw him getting all shy.

'Noble git.' She thought as she shook her head fondly.

"When will I be learning elemental spells?" She questioned excitedly, causing Harry to smile at her enthusiasm.

"Soon enough. By the end of February if it's possible." He explained.

"Before that, I want you to learn the Mage shield." He said.

"No way. That is supposed to be impossible. Surely you can't cast it." She questioned, bewildered by his words.

Harry waved his wand upwards and with a circle, a translucent blue wall formed in front of him.

"Amazing," She whispered.

"Anything short of a select few spells can be stopped with that. But it's highly unlikely that you come across those spells. Probably only a handful can conjure this shield, Bellatrix. It gives you a major advantage in a fight." He explained.

"Be careful, Bellatrix. It's very difficult to hold, as it needs a lot of magical power. You will be exhausting yourself if you don't know how to fluctuate your magic frequency into this shield." Harry explained.

"Then why teach it?" She asked him.

"Because you are more than powerful enough to pull it off." He said dismissively, not noticing the blush of the girl.

It's these honest comments he made that made him all the more appealing. He wouldn't even know what he said, but he tells her such sweet things. That has been the trend for the past one month or so. She would frequently make him blush, and he would blush.

"I guess I will see you tomorrow." She stood up and leaned towards his cheek, but as she was about to kiss his cheek, he turned to say something and her lips met his.

Their eyes widened in surprise. Harry made to pull out, but Bellatrix held him in place. Harry stopped fighting it and started to enjoy the kiss. Their lips move in sync with each other. Harry finally pulled away from the girl.

He stood up and he suddenly looked very nervous. "Sorry." He whispered, blushing in embarrassment and rushed out of the room.

Bellatrix smirked at the running figure. She didn't intend for that to happen. But she wasn't complaining. She wanted to do this so badly, but the boy was too noble for his own good.

She was giving him all the signs. She would make mistakes on purpose so that he would stand close to her. She would mess up her wand movements on purpose so that he would correct her himself.

Bellatrix knew she was falling hard for the young man. Frankly though, what wasn't there to like about him. Kind, caring, powerful, intelligent, funny and damn was he hot.

She did feel a bit guilty about competing with her little sister for his affections, but when he was involved, everything was fair game.

Bellatrix never worried about something as boring as boys. She was not to be blamed, though. The boys she sees every day at Hogwarts are pathetic. She knew she was beautiful. She wasn't modest with that particular fact. She knew that she had the eyes of literally every boy in Hogwarts on her. She didn't care. She was Bellatrix Black. She was the best and she was used to getting the best. She had perfect scores. She had perfect ambitions. She had a perfect life. That was until he came around.

Harry turned her life around. She was to be sold to Lestrange by her father. She felt every dream she had built upon tumble. Lestrange was not a good man. She was not scared of him. No. She was scared of how he would treat her as a wife. She didn't want to be anybody's toy.

Her eyes burned with anger as she remembered the scheming's of Walburga. The bitch that was her aunt.

That was when he came in. Unexpectedly.

At first, it was hard to believe it. But the eyes. His beautiful eyes held the answers she wanted.

Narcissa Black was not the only Black to fall for Harry Potter that fateful night. No. Bellatrix Black did too. Only she didn't express it like her sister.

The Chamber of Secrets had shown her a bit more about Harry. The kind of guy he is. The power he has. His abilities that he doesn't boast about.

The training sessions with him left her wet and panting for more. She would have jumped him by now, but she didn't want to scare the boy away. She would take her time with him. She sure as hell would not let Narcissa take him away.

'Not my prize. Not my Harry.' She thought.

She collapsed on a bed that the room provided. She locked the door and silenced the room. She was in dire need of a release right now. She couldn't hold on much longer.

She sank her fingers into her wet folds and moaned as her imagination brought back the boy who just left, back in front of her.

--&&&&--

Harry walked briskly through the corridor.

"What the fuck were you thinking, Potter?" He questioned himself. He was furious with himself. He was angry at what he had done. Though come to think of it, he was sure that he tried to pull away. But she didn't allow that.

Harry's mind went back to the kiss. He had never felt something so good in his life. It felt electric.

"Why didn't she pull away?" Harry wondered. "Does she…..?" Harry shook his head. "Don't be silly. She won't be interested in me. She can certainly do better." He whispered.

"Harry." Harry noticed Narcissa coming from the opposite direction. "Hey, Cissa." He greeted the girl.

She frowned as she noticed his hair and face. "Why are you looking so flustered?" She questioned.

"Nothing," Harry answered too quickly for her liking. Narcissa raised an eyebrow at his behaviour. "I mean. I just finished my training and was tired. So. .." He trailed off.

Narcissa smiled. "Are you not going to teach me anything, Harry?" She questioned as she stepped closer to Harry.

"What do you want me to teach?" He stepped back to create some distance but she stepped closer.

Narcissa took on a thinking pose.

"How about some charms?" She questioned. Harry nodded quickly as he was backed against a wall.

Narcissa smirked. "What else are you going to teach me, Harry?" She stood just a hair's breadth away from him. Harry's eyes flitted to the visible cleavage of Narcissa before he looked away, turning a slight red.

Narcissa cheered mentally.

'Not so immune to my charms, are you?' she thought.

"Anything," Harry whispered. His trousers were suddenly feeling extremely tight as he felt her cool breath hit his chest, where he had forgone his button.

"Anything?" She purred in a tone that sent shivers up his spine.

Harry could only nod quickly. He was feeling extremely hot.

Narcissa smirked. She had him exactly where she wanted. At her mercy.

She leaned closer, her breasts now squishing against his chest. She felt the telltale sign of his growing erection.

'Soon, my dear Harry. Very soon.' She thought. She pressed her lips near his ear, nipping at his earlobe causing him to jerk.

"I expect you to teach me a lot, Harry. Will you?" She whispered as she blew softly into his ear, obtaining another shiver. He nodded shakily against her shoulder.

"Good." She pulled back very slightly and was about to kiss his cheek when Harry turned to her side and his lips landed on hers.

Narcissa moaned into his mouth, and pulled his head down, running her fingers through his hair. She was bursting with joy.

'Oh, Merlin. Even his kiss is magical' she thought as a wave of magic was sent into her body.

Harry tried to pull away again. But Narcissa was nothing if not persistent.

She finally stopped kissing him and pulled back, her bright blue meeting his clouded emerald gaze.

"Oh, God." He whispered. "I'm...I will see you tomorrow." He ran away from the place leaving a bemused Narcissa.

"I am going to have so much fun doing things to you, my love. So much fun." She whispered.

This entire drama was witnessed by a pair of grey eyes, which burned with fury.

--&&&&--

If any upper-year boy was questioned as to what Lucius Malfoy is thinking, their answer will be 'lusting after Narcissa Black.'

Lucius had only one thought in his now deranged and uncontrolled mind. 'Fuck Narcissa Black till she loses that damn smile off her face.'

He had come up with a plan and he was giddy at the thought of the bitch screaming as he pumped into her without abandon.

He was about to attack the bitch when Potter made his appearance. What transpired after, led his brain to be filled with jealousy and rage.

He smirked. The boy must not be gifted with his equipment. If she had thrown herself at him as she did at the Potter boy, he would have fucked her till she would blackout.

Lucius now thought of another plan. Yes, he would make Potter pay for all he did. He would violate the bitch in front of him. He would make him watch as he punished the girl for all his misfortune.

He walked back into the common room, with a spring in his step.

Rudolphus looked up at the boy strangely.

"What puts you in such a good mood?" He questioned.

Lucius smirked. "The plan is ready." He said, causing the other boy to smirk.

"Good." He nodded.

--&&&&--

Harry sat down on the couch with his face white as a ghost.

James noticed this. "What's wrong with you?" He questioned curiously.

"I kissed," Harry said. James couldn't hear his mumbling.

"You gotta speak up, Harry. I can't hear a word you say." He said.

"I…" he gulped as he looked into his brother's face. His other friends were watching him curiously.

"I kissed." He muttered.

James and Sirius's mouths dropped in shock. "How? Where? When?" The two questioned dropping whatever they were doing.

"A few minutes back." He whispered.

"Go Harry." James cheered, patting the boy on his back. Harry remained quiet.

"Why do I get the feeling that you have landed yourself in a very ugly mess?" Peter questioned him with a frown.

Harry nodded. "I kissed Bellatrix." He whispered and James and Sirius cheered happily. "What's wrong with that? She is very hot." James said. Sirius grimaced at that but still nodded.

"Mum will be very…." James was cut off by Harry.

"I kissed Narcissa as well."

The boys froze in their seats. One look at his expression confirmed that he was telling the truth.

"Oh shit," Sirius mumbled.

The boys were silent for some time.

"What are you going to do, Harry?" Remus questioned.

"I don't know. I don't know for Merlin's sake." He muttered, putting his head in his hands.

"Lucky git." James chuckled as Harry glared at him.

"I am serious mate. You are probably the luckiest bloke in this entire world." James said.

"Black women are seriously good looking. They are hot as hell." He grinned.

Sirius smacked James on his forehead.

"Should I remind you that you are speaking about your Mother and cousins?" Sirius growled causing James to grimace.

"Ok. Apart from that, what are you going to do?" James questioned.

"What is there to do? It was all probably a mistake. They would have let it go by morning." He said and got up and left for his dorm.

"He is clueless, isn't he?" Sirius questioned. James nodded.

"The bloke doesn't know the meaning of rack." James sighed, making Sirius gape.

"You better not be shitting with me, Prongs," Sirius warned. James shook his head. "I am not." He said.

Remus started to chuckle. "He will have his hands full with the two of them." He said.

The three boys were silent for some time.

It was Sirius that started to guffaw. He was joined by the rest.

"Oh, Merlin. You don't know what you are getting into, Harry." James snickered.

--&&&&--

Narcissa entered the common room and walked to her elder sister who was sitting by herself. Andromeda watched Narcissa walk towards her with a skip in her step. She raised her eyebrow as the blonde sat down next to her. She was humming. Narcissa never hummed.

"Ok. What is wrong with you?" She asked, her sister

Narcissa smiled at her sister.

"I kissed Harry." She said and Andromeda gaped at her. Narcissa watched her sister with amusement.

"Close your mouth, Andromeda. You are attracting flies." She smirked as her sister closed her mouth with a snap.

"What? When? How?" She questioned one after the other.

Narcissa then explained everything that took place sometime back.

"So in short, you assaulted him in public, cornered him and kissed him and returned. What was the reason you even went out in the first place?" Andromeda questioned her. Narcissa shrugged.

It was then that their elder sister joined the two of them. To the shock and surprise of the two, she was humming. Now Narcissa can be put forth as a person who might hum slowly to herself when she was happy, but Bellatrix Black never hummed. No chance in hell. She was the 'ice queen' of Slytherin. The unshakable witch.

"Why are you humming?" The two younger Blacks questioned Bellatrix.

The eldest Black raised her eyebrow at their response but shrugged.

"I kissed Harry."

Andromeda dropped her parchment and Narcissa started to cough in surprise.

"What!?"

"I kissed Harry." She replied as composed as before.

"What the fuck?" Andromeda snapped before silencing herself. It was a good thing her mother wasn't around.

Narcissa glared at Bellatrix.

"What did you say?" Bellatrix frowned.

"What's gotten into her?" Bellatrix questioned Andromeda.

Andromeda giggled at the situation she found herself in.

"She kissed Harry as well." Andromeda piped. Bellatrix's neck snapped to her youngest sister.

"What?" She screeched, getting the attention of the entire common room.

Every eye on the common room was on her.

"What?" She snapped at the common room and the students hastily got back to their work not wanting to anger the dangerous girl further.

She dragged her youngest sister to their dorm before pushing her in. Andromeda walked in grinning like a loon behind the two.

"What do you think you are doing?" Bellatrix hissed, her eyes shining in anger.

Narcissa glared back at her eldest sister.

"I would like to know the same thing. You knew I liked him. I even came out in the open with that matter. Now you go out and do this." She spat, her blues matching Bellatrix's violets in anger.

"I don't see him anywhere near you. He is fair game, Narcissa. You can rant and rave all you want, but he is mine." She whispered.

Narcissa was seething with anger.

"You won't be anywhere near him if I have my way. You are lucky you are my sister, Bellatrix. If it was any other bitch, I would have killed her." Narcissus bit back.

"Harry will only be mine. I won't let you sink your claws into him," she said.

Bellatrix glared at her sister. She flicked her wand to her wrist and Narcissa had her wand out as well.

Andromeda sensing that this could go out of hand, disarmed the two very quickly.

"Ok. I want the both of you to shut up and sit down." She ordered.

The two complied but kept glaring at each other.

"Cissy, Bella. This is certainly not the way to behave." Andromeda admonished.

"Harry would be disappointed with how the two of you are behaving." She said and that hit home. The two turned away from each other. Calming themselves down.

"Now, what are you two going to do?" She questioned.

"I have made my point clear, Andi. I like Harry. I won't stop pursuing him." Bellatrix said, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Narcissa snorted. "Like I would let you have him. He already has a soft spot for me. Just wait and see. I will have him wrapped around my finger in a few days." She replied confidently.

Bellatrix smirked.

"I train with him. Do you know how many times I have initiated contact with him, on purpose. Merlin, those hands of his are magic." Bellatrix purred, causing Narcissa to go red in anger.

Andromeda watched the two go on about the new boy in their life.

'Oh you are in for a treat, Harry.' Andromeda chuckled.

The poor boy will go mad between the two of them.

--&&&&--

Dorea frowned as she opened the letter that had arrived so late. She was partially worried. "What have they gotten themselves into?" She questioned no one in particular.

She carefully went through the contents of the letter. She started to smile halfway into the letter and turned into full-blown laughter, by the end of it.

That was how Charlus found his beautiful wife. Laughing like crazy.

"So the Black madness has finally caught up with you?" He questioned his wife warily.

"Shut up Charlus." Dorea giggled.

She then pushed the letter towards her husband. Charlus frowned as he read the letter. By the time he was done with it, he was slamming his hand on the table and laughing his stomach out.

"That's my boy." Charlus chuckled as he read the letter once more. "I need to ask for a memory of his face." He ground out.

"Is there a reason why my brother in law and sister are behaving like a bunch of mad monkeys out of the blue?" Arcturus questioned the two. His voice was laced with amusement. Charlus stood up and kissed Melania's cheek before motioning the pair to sit down. He pushed the letter to the two of them to read.

Arcturus smirked as he finished reading the letter. The smirk soon turned into full-blown laughter. Melania was positively amused by the letter.

"The poor sod. He doesn't know what he is getting into?" Arcturus grinned.

"Between the two of them, he will go mental by the end of the year." Charlus chuckled.

--&&&&--

"Lucius. I didn't expect you here. Especially not at this time of the night." Lord Voldemort watched the young man in front of him with narrowed eyes.

Lucius shuddered as he heard the neutral tone that the Dark Lord had taken.

"I beg your forgiveness my lord, but it was a matter of utmost importance." He spoke softly.

"I better like what you want to say, Lucius. I would hate for your handsome features to be mangled permanently." Lord Voldemort hissed softly, gaining a shiver from the young man.

"Of course, my lord. It is about Harry Potter." He said and that piqued the man's interest.

Harry Potter had been a person of interest to Tom for a long time now. He had seen what the young man, no he would not call him a boy. He was far above petty boys. That much was clear.

He had decimated his ranks and had bested Abraxas Malfoy of all people. That was an achievement. He had recruited Abraxas Malfoy for two reasons. One his money and influence. Two, his extraordinary duelling prowess.

The boy blew it into the wind. He ran circles around them. He used magic that was not taught at Hogwarts. He had a presence that was predatory and that brought unease to Tom. He felt unnerved by the boy.

"And what about Harry Potter?" He questioned curiously.

"I will bring him to you, my Lord," Lucius replied.

Tom raised an eyebrow. "And how do you propose to do that?" He questioned curiously.

Lucius then went on to explain his elaborate plan of capturing Narcissa Black and in turn, getting the Peverell Lord to come in search of her.

Tom shook his head. The fool is thinking from his dick. He knew that the moment he brought Narcissa Black into the fold. He wasn't thinking straight. It was a very dangerous plan. Yes. He had been the one to suggest the idea of approaching the Blacks for a marriage contract. Along with the support of Blacks, came the Potters.

That had backfired and now, he was at odds with the two families. He had not given them much thought if not for the new Potter boy.

"Are you sure this is wise, Lucius? I see a lot of holes in this plan." Tom tried to subtly warn the man, but it wasn't to be.

"I will make sure to work it out, my lord," Lucius replied confidently. "I only request that you would let me be the one to kill him. I owe him one for my father." He spat.

Tom Riddle let out a sigh. This was beyond his control. He could deny the young man, but he didn't want to alienate the man. He needed the boy. After all, he might get expelled if he is caught. Dumbledore won't allow anything more to happen. Stupid fool.

--&&&&&--

"Harry." Harry smiled as he watched Amelia standing behind him.

"Amy. Come on. Sit." He patted the seat next to him.

Amelia smiled at the boy who brought much joy to her life.

In a way, she thanked Tom Riddle. It was because of him, that she now had such a wonderful group of friends.

But if there was one person she understood the most and liked the most in the group, it was Harry.

She was astounded at how similar their lives were. She had never pegged him for a loner. It was a surprise that she still found hard to believe.

After all the fiasco of the chamber, Harry had welcomed her into their group and she was glad.

Everybody had welcomed her and she found spending time with them very easy.

Even Bellatrix had started to let her in. She was a little scared of the eldest Black sister. But then, the entire Hogwarts feared her. Although she was cold and indifferent at first, she was gradually opening up to her.

"Amy." Harry shook her from her thoughts.

Amelia snapped awake from her thoughts.

"You seemed lost. "He said.

Amelia smiled.

"It's nothing." She assured him. "I have a letter for you, Harry." She extracted a letter and placed it in his hand.

"It's from Edgar. He asked me to give it to you." She said and Harry nodded.

Harry placed the letter in his pocket.

"How is your Occlumency coming along?" Harry asked.

Amelia grinned. Her brother had taught her the basics of the skill, but Harry had instructed her to step up.

It had done lots of good. That night was nothing but a distinct memory in her head, now.

Amelia and Harry had bonded over a lot of topics they found similar. The two loved to fly. They liked dueling as a fun activity. They shared the same interest in books.

"Very good. It has helped a lot." She said, getting a smile from Harry.

"What do you want to do in the future, Amy?" He asked curiously.

Amelia frowned. She had never thought about other things. She had always wanted to be an auror. Like her brother.

"I had always wanted to be an Auror. Just like my brother." She said.

"Edgar is probably one of the best Aurors in the ministry. Following in his footsteps will be an honor." She said.

Harry nodded. "You will be one of the best Aurors our world has ever seen." He said, causing Amelia to blush lightly.

"Stop it, Harry." She whispered.

Harry smirked. "Just you wait and see. Mark my words and your calendar, Amelia Bones. Remember my words." He spoke sagely.

Amelia chuckled. "Why are you so sure?" She questioned.

Harry smiled." You can call it intuition. But trust me, I can feel it. You will do it." He said confidently.

"Fine, we will see." She sighed.

She then grinned mischievously.

"What is this that I hear about you kissing girls, Harry?" She questioned cheekily.

Harry froze, his smile disappearing very quickly. Harry noticed his brother sitting across him, with a smirk on his face.

"You," Harry growled at his brother. "I will kill you," Harry whispered.

"Ok. You can sit down, lover boy." James chuckled as Harry growled once again.

"Look at that. My brother has two girls pining after him." He wiped a mock tear.

"Ladies man. I am so proud." He announced dramatically. Harry was getting annoyed now.

"James. Shut up." Harry whispered.

James made to answer, but to Harry's luck, Narcissa and Bellatrix entered the Great Hall at that very moment. Andromeda walked behind them, with a mischievous smile. She winked at James who winked back.

Amelia slowly moved away from the spot which she was occupying. Narcissa took that seat and Bellatrix sat down on the other side of Harry.

"Good evening Harry." Narcissa leaned forward and pressed her lips to his cheek, lingering a moment. Harry went red at the display.

Bellatrix then grabbed him by his shoulder, before pressing a kiss next to his lips.

"Hi." She whispered, and Harry choked on his breath at the husky tone her voice took.

His face was burning red now. He stood up abruptly.

"I have some work to do. Yeah. Duh. Yeah. I'll see you guys." He mumbled and was sprinting out of the great hall before anybody could say a word.

Harry didn't slow down until he was outside near the Black Lake. He looked around and didn't see anyone nearby.

He sat down, under a tree, a huge sigh escaping his lips.

"What are they doing?" He questioned softly.

It wasn't like Narcissa and Bellatrix to behave this way. Are they just playing around?

He shook his head. They won't go to that extent to play pranks on him.

He slowly laid back on the ground. His eyes watched the slight snowfall that was beginning for the day. He applied a few warming charms with a flick of his finger. He was deep in thought.

The behaviour of the girls had been weird since the very beginning, but these past few days were something else.

He was confused. 'How can they even remotely be attracted to me?' He questioned himself. Harry was not oblivious to such things as his friends believed. He notices beautiful girls too.

And Narcissa and Bellatrix we're probably the most beautiful and eligible witches in all of Britain. They may think that he is a fool, but no. The casual touching, the lingering kisses. The husky voices. He knew what they were doing.

But how can he reciprocate their feelings? They are certainly not the ones from his world anymore. The more time he spent with the two, gave him a new perspective on them.

But something prevented Harry from reciprocating their feelings. What, he didn't know.

Everything aside, how can he choose between the two of them? He was gradually learning to admire their company. How can he choose between them?

Harry slowly comes to a decision. He would continue to play dumb to their advances. He felt that they would give up on him if he keeps playing dumb. They would then move on.

Somehow, that particular thought of them moving on didn't sit right with Harry. He couldn't understand why but that thought pained him much more than he thought it would.

He shrugged off the feeling. He then drifted back to his task. The task that he had to complete at any cost.

Two Horcruxes we're done. He still didn't know how many Tom had made.

Harry scratched his head in confusion. He didn't know what to do. The attacks had stopped for the time being. Everything was quiet.

"Calm before the storm." He thought as he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
