A/N: This is the final part of part three.
Thank you all for the reviews. Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
(BSC 3 C29) C87. Life without Harry is hard for everyone.
Everyone except three people had left the infirmary the moment Bella and Daphne walked out. The ones who were left were Minerva, Zanita, and Amelia. No one dared to leave the children alone, so they all decided that at least one person would stay behind.
The first person who wanted to stay was Augusta and she was then joined by Isabella, but before they could Zanita ordered them to get some food in them first. They had been on their feet for a long day and hadn't had a bite to eat sins that morning. It all started at the ministry where Harry went after fudge to ask him why the Dementors were in the great hall.
After the others had eaten they would come back and take over from Amelia and Minerva. Zanita would remain the whole knight because she didn't really need to sleep or eat.
They would do this just to be sure. While they all knew that Harry would pull through. you could never know what would really happen. He could have a relapse and if he did someone had to be there just in case, if only to get Poppy to help him.
While the three of them were left Amelia and Zanita started to talk about the life of Harry before he came to Hogwarts. Minerva had laid down on another bed and was fast asleep.
As Amelia was Talking Zanita looked over at her master and her king. Zanita was starting to get more feelings the longer Amelia talked and it did make her more human. The one thing that scared her a little was the feeling of anger. She didn't know the Dursleys but she knew that if she would ever see them Voldemort would be a Puppy compared to her, whit what she wanted to do to them.
Slowly the conversation went over to his years at Hogwarts but most of what he and Bella had done to bring them all together. It made Zanita smile when she heard how good her master really was when it came to politics and making the right friends. She was sure that if they guided him in the right way he would be the best king they ever had, even better than Merlin himself.
It was around two in the morning when Minerva sat up. Her eyes were wide and were looking at Harry who was still lying between Ginny and Astoria.
^Grandmother, Go to Bella, I cannot help her but I know Daphne is with her. I'm not sure but if Daphne isn't able to help her then you and Isabella need to be there to save them^.
Minerva heard the voice of Harry in her mind and could not keep the smile of joy from her face. She didn't think but just nodded before she walked out of the infirmary leaving a bewildered Amelia and Zanita behind her.
*#*
Poppy went after Isabella and Augusta to get some food of her own.
Poppy had looked over her shoulder and saw Zanita waiving her off. Go get some dinner she said without any sound. Poppy just nodded before she gave one more look at the three children lying there all strangled to gather. The moment she walked into the great hall she could see that every student and teacher had gone to their own apartments or common rooms. She gave a relieved sigh and made her way to the head table. Finally, after a long and hard day, she would finally, get some food.
As she sat down she looked over at Isabella and Augusta. She did look for any other person but there were none. She even noticed that David had also left although she didn't really know why.
The one thing she didn't know was that Isabella had pulled him into a corridor where she told him clearly to go home. Something he did with his head hanging down.
Poppy started to eat and gazed at her. It was now that she started to wonder and just had to ask. "Isabella, where is David".
Isabella swallowed the last bit of the food she had in her mouth and was about to say something when she saw the doors to the great hall open. The first thing she saw was Narcissa and so she waited to see if Lucius was still with her. But when she closed the door she knew that he had also gone home. As she took another bite she waited until Narcissa sat down with them and also started to fill her plate.
While Narcissa took another piece of fish she started to talk to the others. "Lucius is with one of his muggle whores. They are not worthy enough to live those filthy muggles, but for this, they are good enough he said the fucking hypocrite" Narcissa told them as she was cutting into her fish with a lot of anger. "He was telling me that he was entitled to a little celebration now that the brat who lived is fighting for his life again, and he is hoping he will lose that battle. O in Merlin's name, how I
would love to tell it all to Bellatrix".
The others around the table all nodded and were thinking about an irate Bellatrix black that would go all dragon on Lucius. Most of them understood what Lucius was about to do. they all took pity on the muggle girls he would use for his perverse actions. If he would be caught he would end up for life in a muggle prison, but only because Fudge agreed that they could use the Imperius on a muggle Lucius would never be in the wrong.
A moment later Poppy turned back to Isabella and whit her eyes she asked well.
Isabella saw her and rolled her eyes before she lay her head down on the table.
Narcissa smiled a little but kept her giggle to herself.
"Poppy" Isabella started. "Please promise me one thing".
Poppy raised her eyebrows at those words but waited for what else was to come.
"Promise me that when you wake up Harry en he hears what I'm about to tell you now, then please really please make sure that he is filled up with calming draft tickle juice and if your oath would allow it, then please, please tie him to his bed. Just do it with ropes, chains and every other spell you can think of.
Poppy only looked at her but just didn't know how to respond to it.
Narcissa giggled again, "If you cant do it, Poppy, then please tell me when you are going to wake him up, can you tell me so I can be there whit Draco and Lucius by my side," Narcissa asked as she looked at Poppy with hope and longing shining in her eyes.
As they all looked at Narcissa most could not suppress their smile.
"WHAT," Narcissa said as she saw all of them looking at her. "you can't blame me for having a wish to become a widow can you.
Augusta laughed loudly just like Isabella did as Poppy just looked on without having a clue at what it was all about.
"Oh, I'm sorry Poppy," Isabella said apologetically. "But Lucius got David to sign some papers with the use of the Imperius curse and a couple of potions. Most of those papers were to get Harry out of Hogwarts or out of the position he is holding. Those have been the papers he made up together with Albus and Fudge. But one piece of paper has done it all, that piece of paper was nothing more than a marriage contract between that junior death eater of his, Sorry Narcissa" Isabella said right away.
Narcissa just shrugged her shoulders as she took another bite of her food. She was starting to think the same way about her own son. It hurt her but she knew that he was becoming a little Lucius junior and she didn't like it at all.
"So the contract is between Draco and my alders daughter Daphne" Isabella went on.
Poppy gazed at Isabella before she gazed at the ceiling into the direction of the infirmary. "I think that hope of becoming a widow could be closer than you think. Does Bella know" Poppy almost asked in a whisper?
The shake of her head was enough for Poppy to tell her that none of the friends knew. "Then the only hope you all have is that Bella will learn it before Harry does and that she will not attack Lucius on her own. If she can keep her head on her shoulders than she will probably be the only one who can hold him back. Because there isn't any spell I can do to keep him down. The only other thing I can do is to place him on the other end of the world so Lucius can have a headstart when he tries to escape".
The reaction Poppy got was one of complete silents and it told her enough. "It's only too bad that it is happening just before Christmas. Not only will Harry be out for a couple of months he won't even be able to celebrate Christmas whit us. When I will be able to wake him he might just join the end of years exams but I'm not sure if he can take part of the practical part of it".
She was again answered with a lot of silence until Augusta broke it. "I don't know what you all think about it but I'm not really planning to celebrate Christmas with Harry lying here in the infirmary and I don't think the others would want to celebrate it without him.
The others around the table were just looking at their deserts as Augusta said what she said. It became just clear to them that Harry had to pay for it again. He was the one who risked it all and still is the one who would be paying for it all, long after it all was done.
*#*
It was around two in the morning when everybody was still eating that Minerva walked into the great hall. Both Poppy and Isabella knew that something was wrong because they would be taking over from her at three o clock that was still an hour from now.
"Sorry Poppy," Minerva said as she rushed to the head table."But I heard Harry in my mind telling me that Bella is in one of her nightmares again. He also told me that Daphne will be with her but has asked me to get Isabella so we could be there if they need us".
The words Bella and nightmare were enough for them to get to their feet, ready to rush to her side.
*#*
Bella and Daphne.
Bella and Daphne had left the infirmary and went straight to the common room of house Hogwarts. They had left Harry in the capable hands of Poppy as he lay in the arms of Ginny and Astoria. In a way, they were really proud of him for what he had done for Astoria and Ginny. But on the other hand, they were really mad because he had given it his all and almost died while he did it. They were just mad because they didn't want to lose him.
Without saying a word they walked into the common room and straight to their bed. There they asked for a sandwich as they sat down on the bed. Slowly they ate in silents and just leaned on each other.
After a little while, Bella stood and made her way over to her bed. Daphne looked on and did what she wanted to do. She stood, stripped and almost ran over to Bella as she jumped next to her under the covers. Whit all that had happened this day she just didn't want to sleep alone and the way Bella was holding her she knew she thought the same way. So they snuggled together and fell into a peaceful sleep that lasted until two in the morning.
*#*
The room was dusty and dark. The mattress which she could now remember clearly was just as dirty as the last time she had seen it. Her eyes turned to the doorway where she could see her sister standing there just waiting for her to see her.
"Thought you were dead," Bellatrix said as she looked at her hand to see that she had become an adult again.
Narcissa just gazed into her eyes while she shook her head. "I'm a memory in your mind. I don't know what Voldemort did to you but It's like I'm alive when you get here. The last time he did kill me but because I'm only a memory I will not die until I die in the real world".
Narcissa waited for another five minutes before she had to ask. "When are you going to call Harry to you, you know that he will be waiting and it is not often you have a chance to have the upper hand"
Bellatrix shook her head slowly. "I'm afraid we have to do it by our selfs today. Harry will not be able to come and help us. He has already done enough today and it almost cost him his life. So it will only be the two of us" Bellatrix told her sister as she started to become afraid of what was to come.
^Bella, I heard you and I will send Daphne to you. Don't ask me why or how but somehow I just know what to do for you. I also think I have the same connection with Daphne^.
Bellatrix looked over at her sister and slowly started to smile. "I can hear Harry in my mind. I'm not sure if he can hear me but I can hear him and he told me that Daphne is coming to help us".
Narcissa just looked at her but didn't really know what to think. Harry had done so much already and everything was astonishing on its own. He had done things no other wizard could do so it wasn't that surprising after all.
Bellatrix got to her feet slowly and stepped from the mattress. She gave a look at it and could not get over the way that thing looked. She knew that it was a memory of her older self, but still why did that mattress look like it had been in a field hospital. She turned back to her sister and closed her eyes. The moments she opened them again she saw Daphne standing next to her.
Daphne flew Bellatrix around her neck and held her tightly. "I don't know what is happening Bellatrix but somehow I heard Harry in my mind. He told me to wake up and to go to you. I did try to talk back to him but it didn't seem like he could hear me".
Bellatrix just smiled as she returned the hug and listened to what Daphne was telling her. "I know, it was the same with me. I heard him in my mind and he told me he would send you. But what surprised me more is that he came to me before I had called him. Normally he would come much later".
Daphne just nodded as she started to look around the room. She had been here one time before but she had been so confused that she hadn't looked at her surroundings. She also didn't know what she had to do if she wanted to help Bellatrix so she just followed the two sisters out of the room and into the corridor.
While they were walking through the house they were in, she saw a couple of figures standing in the rooms. Harry and Bella had ones told her that the house had been empty but that it was slowly filling itself with other figures or memories of Bellatrix. "Bellatrix, who are those people".
Bellatrix looked into a room. "I really don't know. They are people I used to know but I don't know when. The door that is locked in my mind is standing ajar end it gives me some memories that are placed in this house where they belong. But as long as I don't have the complete picture I have to do it with what I have. It's like looking at a foto that you know but can't remember where or when".
At the end of the corridor, the got to a completely new room. This was a big room and it was made into an infirmary or it was supposed to look like one. The beds were all dirty and the sheets looked like they had been in battle but not cleaned for a couple of weeks.
Inside the room, they all gazed around and saw Andromeda lying on a bed. She lay completely still and Narcissa rushed over to her. Both Bella and Daphne stepped closer and gave Andromeda a good look. They saw her breathing but she had her eyes closed. In the bed next to her they saw Harry lying like he had been an hour ago in the infirmary of Hogwarts.
Daphne looked back at Andromeda and saw that she wasn't the Andromeda she knew. This Andromeda was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Daphne gazed back at Harry where she saw Bellatrix holding his hand like she had done a couple of years ago. She could see the love she had for Harry and it gave her a good feeling. From the corner of her eye, she saw some movement and turned around with her wand in her hand. She was about to scream at Bellatrix to come stand beside her when she saw the wand of Harry next to her face. She followed the wand and Saw that Bellatrix was holding it.
"He never leaves it behind, where ever he is, it is always there and at the ready" Bellatrix told her with a wink.
Daphne didn't understand her and just pointed her wand at Voldemort
It didn't take long for them to figure out what they had to do. They had been doing it every month and most of the time it had been two times instead of one. The one difference was that they now had to do it without Harry at their side. This took Bellatrix back to the last time she had to fight without him. It had started out by her trying to strangle him to death just so he and she would have some freedom. It had also been the one time Neville had joined her and it had almost cost him his life. He was almost in the same position as his parents were in.
"Well, Well, Well". Voldemort sneered. Look at what we have here. "Is this your new girlfriend. Is Potter used goods now. Did you need a fresh leaf so to say? CRUCIO".
Bellatrix shoved Daphne out of the way of the curse. She had been so startled that she was stuck to the floor in fear. "Don't you hurt her". Bellatrix screamed as she heard the screams from Neville in her mind.
Voldemort just laughed and looked back at Harry. He doesn't look all that good now does he the boy hero.
Daphne looked back at Harry and slowly saw the wounds appear he had on the day that he was attacked. On that day they had performed a ritual just to keep him alive and it occurred to her that on that day they had really shared his blood. So a part of the mercy spell had to be in them, just running through their bloodstream like it was in Harry and Minerva. Just like it should be in Zanita.
"STOP IT" Bellatrix screamed again.
Daphne who was almost as smart as Hermione was slowly putting the puzzle pieces together. Voldemort had created a memory of his own and placed it in her mind. This memory had the ability to torture her from the inside out. It would use the images she had and combined them into a fake one. Now they were lucky to know that they were in the mind of Bellatrix or it would have all been so real that they would curse everybody they see. It was like an Imperio curse from a distance.
"Harry is fine I'm not going to believe you," Bellatrix said again as she gazed into the eyes of Daphne pleading to tell her that Harry was really fine.
"Yes, Bellatrix, he is," Daphne told her. "Harry is fine".
In another bed, across the room, another figure appeared. This time they saw Astoria lying there with her head just above the eyes were open and they looked like they were looking into the pits of hell.
Bellatrix didn't know what she was seeing, but Daphne knew that it had been the look that she had gave Harry when he hadn't moved after the dementor attack.
Voldemort pointed his wand at Astoria and was about to start to throw a curse at her.
"Bombarda" Shouted Daphne.
Voldemort never expected that the girl next to Bellatrix would do something so bold as to throw a curse at him. He was a little startled and pointed his wand at the younger version of Andromeda. Again he was about to curse her.
"Bombarda" sounded the voice of Bellatrix and he was thrown back a couple of feet.
His eyes became red and his hate took over when he pointed his wand at Harry.
What happened next even went too fast for Voldemort. Both Bella and Daphne started to throw every curse they knew at him and kept on going until he was nothing more than a scrambled pile of dirt. After almost ten minutes of cursing both Bellatrix and Daphne slumped to their knees breathing hard.
Bellatrix conjured a chest and placed the pile that was called Voldemort inside of it to then lock it from the outside. She knew that he would be back and that it would all be just like the way it was before. She had seen it with her sister so this would be no different. "That chest should keep him for a week or three," she told Daphne.
Daphne shook her head and started to conjure a lot of other boxes, chests, and even some coffins. Every one of them bigger than the one before. After that, she started to place every single one into the bigger box and lock them one after the other. "So let's see if he can get out of this one in a month".
Bellatrix smiled as she took her arm. She didn't know if it would really stop him or hold him longer but they had never tried it before, so she just hoped it would. As she guided Daphne back to the room with the dirty mattress she thought about the situation. She had always been into girls and boys but mostly girls. If her younger version had chosen this girl to be her lover then she couldn't have made a better choice herself. It was back in the room that she really looked at Daphne. She wanted to tell her something but didn't really know how to start. "Daphne, you will be my sister wife when I'm whit Harry right".
Daphne nodded as she blushed and looked at the ground.
"Daphne, please understand me. I love Harry whit all my heart, but I also love females. I'm maybe even more into women then I'm into men. So if I'm correct then my younger version is starting to also fall in love with you, if the feelings I'm feeling now are a good indication of it. So I think it will be more than sharing Harry if you ask me" Bellatrix told her softly.
Daphne looked up at Bellatrix. Her cheeks were pink and she had a very small shy smile. Daphne looked back at her hands and didn't know what to tell her. She did the one thing she felt was right and hung a little closer to Bellatrix. Slowly she placed her lips on the lips of Bellatrix and kissed her. When they parted Daphne, saw Bellatrix sitting in front of her with her eyes closed. So she hung a little forward again and kissed her ones more only this time she deepened the kissed and swirled her tong around the lips of Bellatrix.
Bellatrix felt her deepening the kiss en how her tong brushed over her lips. She opened her mouth as she changed back into Bella and pulled Daphne even closer to her.
As they parted to take a deep breath they laid their head on the shoulder of each other and didn't really realize that they were back in their own common room. After another moment Daphne pulled back and laid her forehead on the forehead of Bella. "If we could love each other the same way that we could love Harry then I would like it very much".
"Deal," Bella told her with a smile and leaned into her for another kiss that Daphne excepted with a lot of passion. It was a small one before the both of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
*#*
Minerva and Isabella.
Minerva and Isabella were making their way to the common room of house Hogwarts, while Poppy had rushed off to be at the side of Harry. She didn't know how he could have contacted Minerva in his mind but she had to be their just to keep an eye on her self-appointed nephew.
As Minerva and Isabella walked into the common room of house Hogwarts. Neville, Hermione, and Susan turned around and immediately looked at the room Bella and Daphne were in.
"Keep the others here while we go into the room," Minerva told the friends who started to hold the others from house Hogwarts back. This had been one of the things they still hadn't shared with the rest of their house.
Minerva walked on and looked at the two girls lying together in a bed. She still didn't understand how Harry knew that Bella could need them but the joy she felt when she heard his voice in her mind was better than a dream.
Isabella took a seat on the bed next to Bella and pulled Minerva to her side. The hour that followed could be one of the longest they ever had. They knew that Daphne had already been pulled into the mind of Bella and that they could do nothing but wait. So they filled their time talking about the two girls lying on the bed and about the boy in the infirmary. Mostly it was about the feelings the three of them shared and also about the feelings Bella and Daphne had developed for each other. Both of them had already seen what Daphne and Bella didn't see for themselves.
Suddenly both girls started to stir a little. Minerva saw it first and turned to Isabella. "Let's go stand by the door. I don't know if they need us but if they don't I want to get out of here as fast as I can".
Isabella nodded but wasn't really sure about it.
As the both of them stood near the door they watched the things that were happening on the bed. Both girls were waving their hands about like they were in the middle of a duel. They even saw some sparks coming from their hands. Then it all went still and they just lay there.
Minerva gasped and Isabella placed her hand over the mouth of Minerva. "Don't wake them up" she whispered as she saw Daphne kissing Bella and how they leaned in for a second kiss.
Isabella Pulled Minerva out of the room and started to close the door. Just when she was about to close the door completely she heard Daphne saying she wanted to love both of them.
Isabella closed the door and smiled as she whispered in the ear of Minerva. "I think they would make the perfect three-way couple there will ever be" Minerva nodded and told the other friends that it was all okay now.
Together they walked back to the infirmary to have another look at Harry. They saw him lying in the same way as they had left him right between Astoria and Ginny. The only difference was that he now had a smile on his face. As Minerva looked on she could not help her self and had to ask. ^Harry, what are you thinking^.
^Grandmother, I now have two of the most beautiful women a man could ever want. Daphne did great and I know that Bellatrix will be in good hands if he comes back. It will make it easier for me to get the rest I need. So tell them I love them and I will see you in a couple of months^.
Poppy who had been monitoring him for the last two hours looked over at Minerva. "The draft of the living death never took hold until just now, what happened".
"Minerva looked back at Harry and placed a kiss on his forehead. Then she placed one on the heads of Ginny and Astoria. Before she started to tell them what Harry had told her.
*#*
As time went on the friends all went back to their lessons. Every day they would gather around the bed of Harry where they would tell him all that had happened that day. The knew he couldn't hear them but it made them feel good to include him.
The Christmas holidays were spent at Hogwarts and the gifts were all postponed until the time that Harry could open his together whit them all. It was really too bad because it would have been the first Christmas Zanita would have had in her body but she also wanted to wait a year to just celebrate it with her Harry among them and not with Harry in some Hospital bed.
The plan they all had to skip a year was also shoved aside. Most of the house wanted to do it with Harry but because he couldn't they all would wait so he could join them again. But they did go on with their training and Bella stepped up to teach them all Tonks had taught them over the summer holidays, She did it together with all her friends.
The only different thing was that Draco knew something they didn't know. Every time he saw them he looked at Daphne like he was undressing her where she stood. On the moment he walked by he would say "All mine" and then laugh to then walk off again. It irritated Daphne to no end. Every time she told it to her mother, Isabella would get mad while David looked very guilty. That was something that started to frustrate her even more. The good thing about it all was that She and Bella became even closer than they already were.
It was at the end of March that poppy called them all together. It was finally time to get Harry out of his coma and back to full strength.
Bella and Daphne rushed to his side just to make sure they would be the first people he saw when he opened his eyes.
Slowly Harry started to stir and opened his eyes just a bit. Bella was the first to hug him and kiss him before she pulled back and held her nose. Daphne wanted to kiss him but Bella stopped her with one hand.
Daphne at first frowned and looked very annoyed at Bella until she saw her perform a freshening charm on his mouth. She then smiled and kissed him to be again followed by Bella. "So, that's much better," Bella said.
She was again followed by Minerva who gave him an extra hug and all the others before Bella and Daphne took their seats on his sides.
It took an hour for Harry to get back among the living before he asked what had happened while he was out of it. Everybody told him about the months he had been out and even how Draco and Ron were behaving themselves.
"I'll take care of it," Harry said.
"Not until you are back at full strength young man" Poppy schooled him. "You are only halfway there and will need until the end of the year to get to three-fourths of your magical strength".
Harry looked at her but Poppy pointed her finger at him like only an aunt could do. "If I hear of only a tickling curse that you threw at a wall I will put you back under and only wake you when you are fully healed or whenever it is that I will no longer be mad at you".
"I love you to aunt Poppy," Harry said cheekily.
"Sure you do" and she laughed together with all the others in the room.
As they all talked there was one thing they were all sure about. Daphne had done something wonderful. The one time she went into the mind of Bella she had locked Voldemort up in a number of trunks and boxes and they haven't seen him since.
*#*
The remainder of the year went by very slowly for Harry. He sat in class but was unable to do anything other than the theoretical part of the lessons. On three different times, he had to be brought back to Poppy when he did wandless magic to shut Draco or Ron up. It was explained as accidental magic but Poppy knew better. Her first response was to reprimand him. But she had seen it for her self and it took all of her own willpower not to strangle that little shit like a flubberwurm.
The day of the exams had arrived and Harry got the all-clear to use his magic. The first thing he did when he got his wand back was to sneak up behind Draco and stuck him to the floor of the owl wing. He had done it the moment he saw Draco going there to sent off a letter. He followed him slowly and hit him the moment his back was turned.
At breakfast, he sat down like nothing had happened and filled up his plate.
^Harry why do I have a feeling of joy from you^ Minerva asked.
^I'm just happy I can use my wand again^.
^Sure you are but that feeling was over two hours ago this is now, so what have you been up to young man^.
^Okay. I played a prank on draco^.
^Did you hurt him^.
^Only his pride and ego. Just wait and see^.
It was only ten minutes later that a first-year came running into the great hall. "Come you have to see this. Malfoy is, he is, this is just too good. just come see".
Everyone rushed out the great hall and were followed by the professors. Harry walked by his grandmother as he called to Colin. "Do you have your camera with you".
Colin nodded and held it up.
"I give you a galleon for every picture you get".
Collin didn't look back and rushed forward, camera in hand.
At the entrance, they all stopped to look at the person who walked into the hallway straight from the owl wing. His arms were outstretched and he was walking with straight legs because he just couldn't bend them anymore. He was covered in owl droppings from head to toa.
Harry knew he had to thank Hedwig for it and promised to by her a whole back of fried bacon. She had been the one to tell all the other owls who Draco was and that they were nothing more than delivery chickens to him.
"Oooo my" Minerva whispers as everyone else started to laugh harder.
"Who did this, Potter, it has to be you" Sneep bellowed from the other side as he walked to Draco.
Draco had been leaving a trail of owl droppings that had been unnoticed by Snape as he screamed on. "I know it was you so that will be two" and then Snape slipped on some droppings, he skidded across the floor and straight into Draco who couldn't keep his balance. He lost it and in his fall he landed right on Snape with his robe that was really covered in Shit onto the face of Snape who had just opened his mouth to scream some more".
"Make it two Galleons per picture Collin" and Harry rushed back to his plate with food.
*#*
Harry took all the exams together with all the other members of House Hogwarts. He was very thankful that none of them had taken the exams during Christmas. It had been Luna who said. "We were all outcast in our own house. You and your friend made it possible for us to be in a house that welcomed us whit open arms. So this had been the least we could do and who knows maybe next year we will do two years in a row".
*#*
It was late in the evening after the final exam of the year that Minerva heard a small tap on her office door. Like every year she knew who it was and wasn't surprised to find Bathilde Bagshot behind it. "Your late" Minerva said.
Bathilda smiled. "Yes I'm, we had a little trouble when we were looking at the overall results of one of the houses".
Like every year at the end of all the exams Bathilda would go to Minerva, there she would have a cup of tea and tell her longtime friend about the exams of that year and how they went. If they were better than the year before or not. Mostly she would tell Minerva that the standards had gone down like they did every year. Something she always told Albus but he would never listen to a thing she had to say about it. "Oh, What was it".
Mathilda gave her another smile. "Well, it is about the house of your grandson. If I didn't know any better I would have said you were tutoring them all until late at night. Something that would be unfair if it was so".
"I would never".
"I know, I know," Bathilda said as she raised her hands in surrender and laughed a little. "Well let me explain. We started with the first years like we always do. And noticed that there weren't any first years in the house of Hogwarts. Then came the second years with Astoria Greengrass. I was the one who took her first-year exams back in the summer. I was amazed at what she did back then so I was looking forward to what she would do this year.
Well, the three girls from house Hogwarts dit amazingly good. They are definitely at the top of their year and among the top best students ever to set foot in this school. At first, we thought that some of the professors had helped them but realized that Albus would not have let you, so there had to be another explanation.
When we asked about it they told us something that hadn't been seen for many years. Merlin, it was in mine own time here at the school that it was dying out. House Hogwarts is working together as a family. The whole thing the house system was built on. The traits of the houses were never meant for the way the person was, but for their ambition. Gryffindors were daring and so they needed people who were just as daring to show them the save way to do it. That house would bring the best Aurors, dragon handlers and more of those dangerous jobs.
The snake-like ways of Zalasar Slytherin were never an indication to place all the dark wizards and criminals together. No, they were supposed to be cunning. In that way, they would become the best politicians and ministry, employees. They would have been the best boss a company could have ever wanted.
Then there is Ravenclaw. They should have been paired together to make a house full of researchers. Wizards and Witches who would end up as Potion masters Spel crafters and unspeakable's.
Now, however, it is all completely different. Slytherin is full of death eater wannabes like Draco Malfoy. His cunning way is to come into the practical exam telling us that his father is none other then Lucius Malfoy as if that would impress me".
Minerva giggled, she just loved the way Bathilda got all worked up.
"It did impress two of us to give him a higher score then he should have. Then again, I knew of the two spineless wizards I had with me, so when they gave him two points up, Berta and I gave him two points lower.
Ravenclaw are a pact of egotistic, self-centred individuals. The only thing they care about is themselves and nothing more.
"What about Gryffindor" Minerva asked.
"Do you really want to know?" Bethilde asked.
Minerva shook her head from left to right and said "Yes".
"Well, they are brave, I give them that. But they are also very, very stupid. Mr. Wesaley the youngest of the boys is the icing on the cake. He challenged my college who became the duelling champion just last month. If it all goes the way it should go then he will wake up in about three hours.
No, the only house that remains the way they should be is house Hufflepuff. They are loyal and hard workers".
"What about house Hogwarts," Minerva asked as she silently hoped they did better than the others.
"You just want to know about your grandson" Bathilda smirked.
Minerva didn't say a thing and just nodded.
Well, he and his friends will be a handful when they graduate and there is no doubt about it. We had to test them individually and they all scored at the top of their classes. All on different levels some subjects better than others. This Granger girl and Greengrass girl are a toss between first and second place. Only the spot in herbology is taken by Mr. Longbottom and defence against the dark arts is led by Mr. Potter and Miss Figg, they are in a league of there own when it comes to that subject. Our duelling champion would have a hard time if he faced the two of them together.
But now the reason I'm so late is, that we wanted to test the way they run this house and it was clear they were running it. So I asked the whole house to come back and perform a couple of test for us. They passed them without even breaking a sweat. They made use of all the strength they had individually. It took them a little more than an hour to complete it and we all thought it would at least take them three or four. So like I said they will be a hand full when they get out of school. If they stick together, then they will drag the wizarding world into the here and now. Even if we are screaming and kicking, they will take us there, if we want to or not".
In the little social talk that followed both ladies reminisced about the past and enjoyed their tea. Minerva was happy that her new family was doing wonderful and she couldn't wait to tell the others about what she had just heard.
*#*
The whole of house Hogwarts walked to the great hall for the end of year feast. As one they sat down and looked at the head table. Albus had waited for them and was standing in front of the head table. He took the floor and started. "This has been an eventful year. You all have learned a lot and now is the time to forget it all again. Now is the time to celebrate the holiday so you can all be free for us for a couple of months.
So before we all dig into this wonderful food I want to thank Professor Weasley and Professor Snape for a job well done. I have heard that House Hogwarts has the highest score in both subjects. The highest score that has been seen sins the start of the point system.
All the members of House Hogwarts looked at Harry, waiting for him to stand up and put the headmaster straight. Snape had done nothing more than sabotage their work and Molly hadn't even taught them for a second.
Harry just smiled as he started to plate up his food because it had already appeared on their table.
Albus frowned before he said. "House Hogwarts would you please wait until we all have our food to start eating".
The others of House Hogwarts started to fill their plates as Albus waited for an answer.
"Harry, would you please respond".
Harry stood and pointed his wand at his throat for a sonorous charm. "Albus, Why should we wait for the others. You let us vent for ourselves when the school was attacked by Dementors while you were eating with the minister himself. Snape did nothing more than Bully all the students except those of his own house. Gryffindor stood by while some of them were treating females of house Hogwarts and Hufflepuff as nothing more than lust objects just like some of Slytherin's did. Professor Weasley has never taught us a single thing, so the praise of our marks belongs to us and us alone. The only house that treated us right was house Hufflepuff and so they too deserve to eat".
Harry waved his wand and the food appeared on their table.
Harry looked around and saw Daphne and Bella smirk. He had made his point so it was done. "Oh, what the heck, let all of us eat" en all the tables were filled with food.
Albus sat down, he knew when he was fighting an uphill battle and especially when he couldn't win so he turned to his side. Minerva was sitting three chairs down and he just had to ask. "Minerva is there really no way for the school to remain open".
"No Albus. Harry has decided to close the school for a month so that the house-elves could have a holiday of their own. They will be cleaning the castle for the first two weeks and then they will have the place for themselves".
"But".
"No, buts Albus, Hogwarts will be closed" and Minerva went on with her dinner, while Zanita was sitting next to her just laughing silently. She would be spending that month with her king and her sister wives. It would be her first real vacation and she was looking forward to it.
The one thing the headmaster didn't know was that the house-elves got the secret chamber to turn into a home for them selfs. Harry wanted them to have a real place for themselves, not just the little square boxes like they used to have that were nothing more than his cupboard.
After the feast, all the friends went back to their room to pack their belongings so they could sleep another hour in the morning. It was forty minutes later that both Bella and Daphne walked into the boy's bedroom saying. "Harry our Trunks are full, can this go into your trunk".
Harry gave a sigh while Neville was rolling around on his bed just laughing his head off. He stopped abruptly when he heard. "Nev, darling my trunk is full, can this go in yours".
Neville was looking at the pile of clothes just wondering how in Merlin's name he would get all of it into the trunk.
"Mini, Maxi" Harry called out.
"Yes Harry, sir".
"Please take these trunks and all the clothes back to Potter castle. Make all the rooms ready because everyone will be staying for the weekend even Dan and Emma Granger will be staying".
*#*
At eight in the morning, all the friends were walking around the lake, they had been planning on spending another hour in bed but the hadn't counted on the rest of the house to start packing at seven in the morning. As they were walking they were followed by Minerva and Zanita. After a late breakfast, all of the students made their way to the train.
*#*
On the station.
On the platform at kings cross station, three witches were huddled together. Isabella was standing next to Augusta and Amelia. About ten meters away from them stood David looking into the distance waiting for the train to arrive. The main reason why he was standing there all alone, was because he still hadn't told Daphne about the contract he was tricked into signing.
Emma and Dan Granger stepped through the barricade on the arm of Arabella. This was the one thing Arabella believed she would never do, and that was to guide two muggle parents through the barricade.
As Emma together with Arabella walked over to the other ladies, Dan walked over to David.
"Why are you all standing so far away from David," Emma asked when she stepped next to Amelia.
Isabella gave David a dirty look and started to explain what had happened before the Christmas holiday.
It didn't take long for Emma to go over to Dan and pull him away from David. At first, he didn't want to but when he heard why he could only look with a sad look. David had to first tell his daughter the whole thing before the ladies would forgive him or Dan was allowed to stand next to him.
As Dan stood to the side, he became a little worried about the things that could happen. He had read the letters they got from their daughter Hermione and knew that Harry could be a hand full if he was mad, especially when they did something to Bella or Daphne.
Emma was looking around herself at everything there was to see. She could see that a lot of wizards and witches were way behind them in clothing style but then again she was in full wonder about what they all could do with magic. "How does this Lucius fellow look like".
"A slimy lowlife whit his nose so far up his own ass that he could smell what he had for dinner three nights ago," Amelia said.
"You mean like him" and Emma pointed at Lucius.
"Yep, that's the one and only Lucius, scumbag Malfoy," Amelia said. And just like all the others around her, she started to follow Lucius with her eyes.
Lucius walked passed Isabella while he kept his nose in the air. He was still under the assumption that Isabella knew nothing about the contract. Just like he thought that all the others were still in the unknown. He walked by and started to smile as he saw David standing alone waiting to see the new couple. He walked closer and passed David as he lifted his hand and pointed at his wedding ring.
Everyone saw the gesture but David was getting sick from just the thought alone of telling it to his daughter.
Narcissa was walking behind Lucius. She had seen the same thing the others had seen and had to shake her head. She knew that Harry was still in the unknown about the contract. It was the reason why she was walking far behind her husband. The further he got on the platform the further she stayed away from him. The more she thought about it the more she realized that not only Harry didn't know about the contract but Bella and Daphne also didn't know about it. It gave her a little smile. She knew that Daphne and Bella had told each other that they loved not only Harry but each other just as much. It would mean that the moment the three of them heard about it Lucius would not only have an irate Harry at his throat but also a Bella who was starting to show a lot of the magic she had as Bellatrix. And now even more that she had both Harry and Daphne for herself.
*#*
The train ride back to Kings Cross station.
Astoria and Ginny were hanging out of the window screaming goodbye while they were waiving to Minerva and Zanita who were standing there wishing them a good trip. They would see Minerva later that night and Zanita in a couple of weeks. It still made them feel bad to leave her behind.
Zanita was waiving to all the kids, it was her first time saying goodbye. During the Christmas holiday, she couldn't do it because she wanted to stay with her Harry just like Bella and Daphne did. But now that she saw them leave she had a hard time saying goodbye to them all.
"Minerva knew the feeling, her first couple of years she felt the same way. You could not help it to become fond to some of the students when you were around them for almost a year so she took the arm of Zanita and guided her back to the castle.
As the train drove out of the station, Astoria crawled onto the lap of Harry. Ginny had sat down beside him and held his arm close. After their experience in the forbidden forest, they became a lot closer. Ginny knew that Harry was her new father on paper but just like Astoria she couldn't help but see Harry as her brother in all but blood. He was their hero in more ways than one.
During the train ride, they were just talking and laughing, having a good time. Most of the members of House Hogwarts were sitting in the compartments next to them and would hop in now and then just to wish them a good holiday, to then go back to their own compartments.
Astoria and Ginny went from lap to lap, really enjoying all the attention they were getting. There wasn't enough room to house the eight of them so they had to do it this way. Astoria had joked that she wanted to sit on the lap of Harry for the entire trip. This resulted in both Bella and Daphne jerking her from his lap before they shoved her out of the door as they both started to fight over the lap of Harry that was now taken by Ginny. Now it was Astoria sitting on the lap of Susan while Hermione sat on the lap of Neville. Harry had Bella on his lap and Ginny was sitting next to Daphne.
With a little more than two hours to go the positioning had all changed and the door of the compartment was slammed open by Ronald Weasley, whit right behind him his best friend in the world. Draco Malfoy. Ronald looked around the compartment just looking for the one person he came to see. When his eyes spotted her he started to reach out and said. "Ginny, Mum told me to tell you that it is enough. After we are back at Kingscross, you are to go home whit us. She does not care about whatever he or you say. You do not own him a life debt no matter what he might have done. However it is enough, you are to come home" and he wanted to grab her hand, but was stopped by Susan.
"Ron, I know that Ginny can take care of herself. However, and I do this to save you, I have to warn you. Ginny is the legitimate daughter of Lord Potter. Her name is No longer Ginerva Molly Weasley, but Ginerva Lily Potter. If you take her, against her will you will call the blood feud of house Potter over the house of Weasley., only because you are mishandling his daughter. If you do it he as Lord Potter has the right to kill you. If you only insult her you could call a blood feud on your whole Family. And if you have one with the Potters you will have it with seven other houses" Susan told him as her smile got wider and wider.
Ron Weasley started to think and he started to think really hard. Hermione who had been sitting on the other side of the door started to lean back. Her eyes narrowed into one of fear as she leaned back even further.
Ginny who sat on her lap was pulled back by her and started to giggle.
Ron had a frown on his face and was clearly turning red.
Hermione was leaning even further back. "Ooh, I really think it is going to hurt him if he has to think like that. Look he is turning red, I think he is going to blow" Hermione squealed.
Ginny started to laugh uncontrollably, and Ron was getting madder and madder., but the words the Susan had said were words he still didn't understand at all.
Draco Who wasn't all that bright himself saw that Ron was stunned and he pulled him outside. He then took his place and was immediately flanked by his two gorillas.
The moment Crabb and Goyle came into eye side, the others immediately lifted their wands at eye level. They all knew with Draco being here it could all go to hell and it could go fast. So they held their wand up just to be sure.
Draco let his eyes scan the room and held his nose in the air just like his father would do. His eyes found Harry and he gave him a triumphal smile. Slowly he went from Harry to Bella and his smile became sadistic. With a final look, he let his eyes rest upon Daphne.
Daphne who saw the satisfied look from Draco could not help her self to be creeped out by it. She started to get a fearful feeling inside of her belly.
Bella who saw the look of fear replace the look of loathing on the face of Daphne held her wand a little higher and pointed it more towards Draco.
Harry who did have Astoria on his lap at the time had sat her to the side. He went and stand between the two seats and came on eye level with Draco.
"Daphne" Draco started without paying any attention to Harry. "I want to know why you are here with the blood traitors, Mudbloods, and the scar-head, while you are supposed to be sitting with your intended. The last time I looked, it was me, and that was only ten minutes ago". Draco told Daphne with a sneer.
Daphne heard what he said but didn't respond, her eyes only became a little bigger before she started to laugh loudly.
"Sorry, Draco," she said with a fit of giggles. "But I'm afraid you are too late. You see, I already have a contract with Harry here. " She told Draco. "So sorry, but please get the hell out of here".
It was now that Draco started to laugh while he pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket. He gave it to Daphne and turned his laughter into a smirk. "Here, this is a copy of the contract. It is signed by mine and your father, so you are mine if you like it or not".
Hermione wanted to correct him but kept herself from it.
Daphne grabbed the piece of paper out of his hand and unfolded it as to read it slowly. Her eyes became wider and then they started to narrow with every word she read. Her expression changed from happy to anger to surprise to finally saddle on one of horror.
Slowly it changed back to one of anger as she looked pointedly at Draco. Without a look to the side, she gave the contract to Harry who read it and then handed it to Bella.
Bella looked at Daphne with a little fear of what she had just read. It was also now that they felt a field of magic surrounding them.
Draco had stopped looking at Daphne and was only focusing on the green eyes of Harry who had already started to glow brighter then he had ever seen them do.
Grabbe and Goyle who took this as a threat on Draco stepped in front of him and bolded their fists. The next moment they were lying grumbled up in the hallway of the train. Something that only took a flick of the finger of Harry.
Draco turned around and wanted to run away but was stopped by Bella who now stood behind him.
Draco got really scared and he started to stumble over his words. "Daphne is mine, contract is real" he screamed.
Bella just didn't listen and gave him a firm right hook, breaking his nose in the proses. She then started to wave her wand and cursed him with every stinging hex she knew. While she screamed. "I don't care about whatever contract you have you little shit. Daphne is ours and you will never have her. You will die first".
Draco hadn't heard a word she had said, he had been knockout by the first punch and was now covered in red stinging marks that would hurt him for quite some time.
Harry sat down and was breathing hard. Poppy had told him he could do magic but he had to keep it to his wand alone. It was the one thing he didn't do and because he was mad he used a little more than he had to. While he sat there he heard Daphne cursing her father under her breath. She was going to hurt him in more ways than one she had said.
"If you want I could help you with that" Bella told her.
Harry who was still breathing hard was thinking about something else while he listened to Bella and Daphne telling each other about ways they wanted to hurt David. He looked over at Susan and could see that she was thinking the same thing and she nodded.
His thoughts were right and he knew he couldn't do much about the contract until he had a talk with Bogrod about it. "I will talk to Bogrod about it and see what we can do. You two can take care of David but be a little less destructive. I will go after Lucius, it is clear that he used David in some way to get him to sign that contract, he would have never done it otherwise".
Daphne wanted to protest but Harry stopped her. "No, Daphne, there is no doubt about it, your father would never do it freely. Sure he signed it en never told you. It has been over five months and he had the time to tell at least the two of you. Now I know that Lucius has made him sign it. With this Lucius took something from me and that is my birthright. He made it so that I can no longer continue my bloodline and I will not stand for it. What I did see was that the contract was made for the oldest Greengrass daughter so Astoria does not have to be afraid to be sacrificed to end up with the likes of Draco.
Astoria who had been quiet gave a sigh of relieve just like Susan did.
So far as I see it, if I want to keep Daphne for my self then I have to find another oldest daughter. Something I don't think David has. Now the second option is to kill Draco before he leaves school. Now that is the last thing I want to do but the way he is talking a blood feud will not be far away".
Both Daphne and Bella were looking at him with some kind of pitty. They knew that if it would come to it, he would be the one who had to do it. Now they did feel pity for him but not so much for Draco. So they stood and sat down on his sides and took him in a hug, kissing him on the lips over and over while they were telling him it would be okay.
Harry nodded and lay his head on the shoulder of Bella while Daphne rubbed his back.
Draco was still lying on the ground between the compartment and the hallway, as the train was slowing down. From the window, they saw they were about to enter the station and made themselves ready to leave the train.
As Bella, Daphne and Harry looked outside of the window they saw they were passing Narcissa and Lucius who was standing a meter or ten ahead of her. "Lucius is mine Harry hissed as both Bella and Daphne just nodded while they kept looking out of the window.
The train came to a stop and Daphne stepped closer to the window. She saw her father standing alone and knew that this was the day he had to tell her. She was sure it had to be her mother who made him do it. It also told her that she knew about it and that that had been the reason why she hadn't seen them together for a while.
Everyone left the train as Bella, Daphne and Harry waited. Without saying a word they all knew what the other was about to do. The new power Bella and Daphne had wasn't at full strength yet but at moments like this, they could hear his thoughts and that was enough for them. ^Good luck^ they heard in their minds.
Harry waited for a little while longer as Daphne and Bella made their way to the door. He looked at the ground where Draco was still lying, resting peacefully. He bent down and grabbed Draco by the throat as he pulled him up. He used some of his magic to help him with it. He dragged him to the door and waited near the exit for Daphne and Bella to do their thing.
*#*
Daphne stepped from the train and waited for Bella to get off. She then held out her hand which Bella took as the both of them walked down the platform towards David. Halfway there they saw Lucius coming their way. With her nose in the air and her eyes turning away from him, Daphne walked by him straight to her father.
Bella did look at him and the moment he turned his eyes to her she hit him with a flat hand right across the face. To then walk straight after Daphne without looking back.
David who saw it all happening was turning with his feet on the ground. His eyes were focused down. Not from shyness or that he was ashamed. No, he was looking at the ground out of fear.
The closer Daphne got to her dad the more her eyes narrowed. She didn't say a word as she walked on to Isabella and held out her hand.
It only took Isabella a second to realize what Daphne wanted and handed her her wand. It was in this way they could not get her for underage magic.
Augusta who was looking on handed her own wand to Bella and nodded in the direction of David.
Amelia did the one thing she had to do and turned around, she could never be seen as a witness.
A small smile created itself on the face of Bella as she conjured a small box with holes in the top.
Daphne saw it and gave a dirty smile of her own as she turned her father into a rat.
Most of the people on the platform started to laugh, as they watched the rat walk into the box with his head hanging down. To the adults that were standing around the friends, the rat had a whole different meaning. And it told them that David had done something really bad in the eyes of Daphne and Bella to be seen as Peter.
As Daphne handed the box with her father to Astoria she turned around and looked at the door of the train and was followed by the others.
Harry had waited until Daphne and Bella had done what they wanted to do. He thought they would do more but to see David be turned into a rat spoke volumes for him.
Now it was up to him to make his point and to let Lucius know he will not take it lying down and that Daphne has friends and will never be a piece of meat. Harry took a breath and stepped off the train dragging Draco behind him.
Lucius saw Harry appear and then he saw his son fall on the platform like a bag of potatoes. He immediately pulled his wand out of his cane and started to walk towards Harry.
Harry let his magic swell around him and flick the first curse Lucius threw at him to the side.
This was it, Lucius stopped and started to look at the sky whit a smile on his face. He was looking for an owl because Harry was not allowed to do magic outside of the school. He placed the statue of secrecy on the line and now he had to pay. Five minutes went by and Lucius was slowly lowering his eyes to look at Harry.
Harry was just standing there wiggling his finger at Lucius saying NO, with his lopsided smile. It was now that Lucius saw that he didn't hold a wand and he knew that he hadn't dreamed of it when they were back in the restaurant. He had done wandless magic and wandless magic was not traceable by the ministry.
With another raise of his hand, Harry lifted Draco from the floor and threw him against Lucius. Lucius fell down with Draco on top of him. Harry walked over to Lucius and bent down to his ear. He was accompanied by Bella and Daphne. "Listen, Lucius, and listen well. I will only tell it once". Harry said slowly. "You made David sign a contract between his oldest daughter and that sorry piece of shit that you call son. With that, you have made the contract that I have as Lord Potter with Lord Greengrass a death warrant for your son. The funny part is that it gives me the freedom to kill him without any consequences for me". Harry stepped on Draco as Lucius started to crawl his way from under Draco which kept him in place. "Now I'm not like you and I will only kill him if there isn't any other solution for me to take. I still have until the end of our school times so that is four more years. If I don't find another way then his death will be by your own doing" Harry took his foot away and started to walk off and back to the others.
Lucius crawled back to his feet and pointed his wand at the back of Harry. "Deprimo".
"Protego" Harry screamed as he held up his hand and stopped the piercing curse from piercing a hole through him. It was right after that moment that Harry remembered everything Lucius was capable of. What took ten minutes in his mind only took a second in time. Lucius who got his grandmother into Askaban. Lucius who threw an Avada at him at the end of the year. Lucius who attacked them and Narcissa in the restaurant. Lucius who wrote Narcissa out of his will while making her a slave to the Malfoy name. Lucius would do everything to keep him from Daphne. Kill his own son if he had to. Kill Narcissa to get another wife or rape Narcissa for another son. the key was Narcissa in all of this. Something snapped in his mind that wasn't right.
Harry grabbed his head and shouted. "NO, not again". He said as he looked back at Lucius. "I lord Potter call on my right to Protect Narcissa Malfoy/ Nee Black from the debt you owe me. Narcissa Malfoy/ Nee Black is from this day forward under the protection of House Potter and will not be harmed in any way. To protect your bloodline. A second child with another woman will not be counted as a Malfoy until the day your debt is paid in full. If Mr Malfoy goes against this law on the debt he will be punishable by death". A red light surrounded both Lucius and Harry before it disappeared in a flash.
Lucius became pale as he realized that Harry had just bound his bloodline to the well being of Narcissa. Every bit of harm he did to her could result in his death. It was the thing Lord Voldemort would do with People who weren't as loyal as he liked them to be. He looked over at his son and knew that If Harry wanted and if the contract from Harry was older then his, then he could kill Draco without any punishment on his part. He could kill Draco himself to cancel the contract but he wasn't allowed to make another child with Narcissa, so if he did he would end his own Bloodline and the name Malfoy. "I will get you for this Potter" and Lucius disappeared with Draco.
Narcissa walked over to Harry and looked him straight in the eye. She now knew that Harry had just protected her until the day he took her from Lucius. He couldn't even touch her with a finger. But the way he had done it was wrong it was on the edge of darkness. "Thank you, Harry, but why did you do it this way".
Harry just looked at her. I don't know, I was so mad it was the first thing that came to me. I saw it and did it" he told her fearfully. "I think I'm possessed or something" he whispered so softly that only Narcissa heard him.
"Where did you see it," Narcissa asked.
"He saw it in my head" and they both turned to Bella. "Go home Harry, you have used to much wandless magic and you have to rest or I will send Poppy after you".
Harry gave her a lopsided smile just before he called for Mini and disappeared.
"What is happening Bella," Narcissa asked immediately as the others started to come closer to hear it too.
Bella bit her lower lip and looked up at Isabella. "the hole of corruption is still a part of the mind of Harry. Now I think it has affected him in more than one way. With everything that has happened the last couple of year's something had to give. He did it once before and that was with Sirius in the shrieking shack. He came back to himself when we were on the grounds of Hogwarts. And I think it happened again with Lucius. I felt it and it was like he was reading a memory of Bellatrix that is deep inside my mind. Daphne and I will talk to him but he has to do it himself he alone can stay away from the darkness that is in all of us".
Daphne Nodded to Bella. "And we will help him by showing him how much we love him".
With that, both girls disappeared at the hands of Maxi.
Narcissa saw them leave and knew there was more to it then Bella had just told her. She could not shake the feeling that it hadn't been Bella that just talked to her but Bellatrix in some way or form.
*#*
Harry stumbled into the hallway of potter castle where he dropped to his knees.
Sirius saw it and rushed over to him. "Harry what is it, what happened" and Sirius carried him to the couch next to the portrait of his mum and dad.
Harry looked up at Sirius and started to cry. Sirius took him into his arms and let him cry. He didn't know what was happening or why Harry was crying but he just let him.
Bella and Daphne appeared behind him and saw what was happening.
"Sirius" Harry stuttered as he tried to speak. "I'm so sorry, about what I did to you. You know that day at Hogwarts. I don't know why but I was so mad and angry. And then I saw you and I did that" And Harry started to cry again as he cried himself to sleep.
They let him lay on the couch and went to the kitchen where Bella told Sirius about the hole of corruption that was in his mind.
"So he did it because the darkness overtook him, at that moment," Sirius asked. "I knew it had to be something like that because he wasn't the young man I got to know last summer". Sirius turned to Lilly. "Is there something we can do about it".
Lilly shook her head. "No the only thing we can do is love him. He has to learn what the difference is between love and hate. What he did to you was wrong and yet he did it with the intention to save you en that he did. What he did with Narcissa just an hour ago was the same thing. It was wrong but his intention was good. So we can only love him and hope he learns".
*#*
It was an hour later that Harry stumbled into the kitchen. His eyes were puffy and red but he did feel good. Sirius was the first to hug him. "I forgive you harry" he whispered into his ear.
Harry was very surprised but happy when he heard Sirius telling him that he forgave him just before his lips were claimed by Bella and then followed by Daphne. Both girls hugged him as Daphne whispered into his ear. "And there will be a lot of it this summer. We love you, Harry".
Harry sat down with a smile that almost split his face in two. This was going to be a great Summer, a really great summer.
A/N: This is the end of part three. Thank you all for the reviews see you all in two weeks for part four.
