Chapter 6 -
"Hello," Professor Slughorn said as he entered the Slytherin common room. "Mr Potter?" Slughorn said as he looked around for Harry only to find him sitting alongside Narcissa. "Ah, there you are. Can you accompany me please?"
"Sir?" Narcissa asked, since Harry didn't seem to care it was up to her to look out for his interests.
"It's to due with the little incident outside of charms class." Slughorn answered.
"Perhaps I should accompany him sir," Narcissa said. "he may need a witness."
"I doubt that's necessary my dear," Slughorn said. "I think it's merely just..."
"She comes." Harry said as he stood up, if his mistress wished to come then his mistress would come.
"I understand what you're feeling Mr Potter," Slughorn said, he was about to say more if not for the tendril of magic that sneaked it's way into his brain, invisible to all but a certain green eyed boy. "a...actually...she can come with you." Slughorn said in a slightly drunk voice before shaking his head and smiling before turning and gesturing for them to follow.
"Did you do something?" Narcissa whispered to Harry as the two walked behind Professor Slughorn.
"Yes my lady." Harry whispered back. "You wished to accompany me, so I made sure that he would agree."
"Right...of course you did." She said, deciding that as along as it doesn't hurt anybody she'd just allow Harry to do whatever he wanted, if she benefited from it then why complain?
"Ah, thanks you Horace." Dumbledore said when Professor Slughorn arrived along with Harry Potter. "Miss Black?" Dumbledore asked when he saw Narcissa arrive with them. "May I ask what you are doing here?"
"Harry is not very talkative and I hoped that that the meeting would go better if he had someone he was used to with him." Narcissa answered as she and Harry took seats opposite Dumbledore.
"Very well, Professor you can leave now." Dumbledore said to Slughorn, the man nodded and left, leaving the teenager and death alone with Dumbledore. "Now I just want you to know Mr Potter that you are not in trouble, I've already discussed what happened with Professor Slughorn and the other boys. I merely brought you here to inform you that that sort of behaviour will not be tolerated at Hogwarts. The next time you feel provoked I ask that you please not respond with violence."
Dumbledore paused and looked at Harry, he waited for his reaction but didn't get one. Harry stared right back at him, Dumbledore couldn't help but feel a little unnerved for some reason but brushed it off. This was also weird for Dumbledore as most people would eventually react in some way or form while under his gaze but Harry stared back like he wasn't even there. Dumbledore sent a mild probe at Harry's mind to check if he knew how to defend his mind, but for some reason he couldn't find anything.
And that meant literally nothing, no thoughts and not even a barrier, when he tried to read Harry's mind he found nothing at all. He withdrew and did his best to not look like he had just tried to read Harry's mind. He was tempted to check Narcissa's mind just so he knew the problem wasn't on his end but he didn't as he knew that the Black family trained in occlumency, the art of protecting your mind, and he didn't want to risk getting caught in her mind.
No, if he got caught in her mind then she would bring the full weight of not only the Black family, but also the dark families that support them and even the light and neutral families that did not want him around if they thought he would look into their children's mind.
As for Harry, he looked at the old man in front of him with an emotionless face but his feelings at the moment were disinterest. This old man was not his master, therefore this old man was not important to him unless he decided to become an enemy or ally for his mistress.
"I believe that he understood and if not I will explain it to him." Narcissa said, hoping Harry didn't give Dumbledore the impression that he didn't care for what the old man was saying. To be fair a lot of people didn't but they had to at least pretend that they did seeing as he was Albus Dumbledore.
"That is very good of you," Dumbledore said with a small smile and twinkle of his eyes before turning back to Harry. "I must confess that I am rather glad you kept your actions limited and did not cause serious harm to anyone."
"No killing." Harry said, remembering his orders to not kill without his mistresses permission.
"Ah yes, that is good," Dumbledore said with a big smile and approving nod, glad to meet another wizard that shared his view of not spilling magical blood in needless violence. Especially one with such power, Dumbledore was glad as this could be very helpful in the long run. "now unless you two have anything else you'd like to say, you can be off."
"No sir, thank you." Narcissa said as she stood up, Harry stood up alongside her and followed her out, ignoring the smiling Dumbledore.
"That went well." Dumbledore said to himself as he popped a lemon drop into his mouth. Dumbledore was glad that Harry Potter seemed to support the same ideals as him, there was no need to spill magical blood when there were plenty of other methods for dealing with criminals. If Dumbledore was lucky then he could convince Harry Potter to join him, it'd be crucial to gain Harry Potter's trust before Tom did. He shuddered to think about the damage Tom could cause with Harry on his side, Harry seemed to be more powerful at his age than Tom was.
Dumbledore needed to get Harry Potter on his side, if he did then that could end up with the added bonus of getting the other Potter's on his side. And if the adult Potters were on his side then that meant their allies as well, if James was on his side then that pretty much guaranteed Sirius Black who could be useful as the heir to the Black family. Now he just needed to work out how to ensure Harry's loyalty.
"Stupefy!" A voice shouted as Harry and Narcissa entered the common room, the source of the voice was Lucius Malfoy who had just sent the strongest stunner he could at Harry, hoping to get him with a surprise attack.
Narcissa's eye widened in shock as the stunner flew towards her, she brought her wand out with surprising speed and was about to put up a shield when Harry reached out with his left hand. The stunner bounced off his hand before crashing upwards into the ceiling. While surprised, she was not as surprised as Malfoy who looked at Harry with pure disbelief.
His disbelief turned into horror as he suddenly found himself flying across the common room until he ended up on his knees with Harry's hand around his neck.
"Get...off...of me!" Malfoy managed to get out, he fired a curse at close range, the spell hit Harry in the forehead but he didn't react at all, sending Malfoy's disbelief into overdrive.
"When will you learn Malfoy?" Narcissa sighed and rolled her eyes. "Harry don't hurt him but give him a little scare, perhaps that will teach him to leave us alone."
"Very well." Harry said with a small nod.
"What are you going to..." Malfoy found himself cut off as the air suddenly thickened, Harry's magic spread out and all the Slytherin's suddenly collapsed onto their knees.
All apart from Narcissa who watched in awe as she felt his magic, she felt it just like the others but unlike the others she did not feel afraid due to it, nor did she feel weak. It seemed to her like Harry's magic was affecting everyone but her negatively. To her it felt like having an angel sing for her, to the others it appeared to feel like the devil had just come into the room and was trying to pull on their souls. Even Malfoy's friends looked like they were going to piss themselves, as she looked at Malfoy and the puddle by his legs she realised that he had actually pissed himself.
"That's enough Harry." Narcissa said in a soft voice. Harry nodded before he raised Malfoy slightly before dropping him so he fell face first into his little puddle. Narcissa blinked at that and wondered if that was something Harry thought she wanted or if it was just something that Harry wanted to do. "Good night Harry." She said before walking off, hiding a smirk as she did so, she also made a mental note to get a pensive at some point just so she could watch and re-watch Lucius falling into that puddle, though she wasn't sure if that as necessary as this was something she would likely not forget for years.
Harry nodded at the dismissal and walked to his room, while ignoring the fearful looks from the Slytherins, seeing as his mistress currently had no use for him.
"Hey James," Sirius whispered to James as the two sat at breakfast the next day. "look at the Slytherin table."
"Huh?" James looked towards the Slytherin table just like his friend said and was greeted with an odd sight. Sitting in the middle of the table was Harry and Narcissa, however the odd sight was the fact that the other Slytherin's were keeping a large distance from them. He also could not help but notice that Malfoy was trying not to look at him while Snivelus looked like he had just smelt something foul. "That is quite odd. Maybe Harry did something? Do you think it is possible to scare an entire house?"
"Usually I'd say no but this is the guy that beat Moony as Moony with nothing but wandless magic and we know that not all the Slytherin's like him, maybe he finally did something about it." Sirius said. "We could probably ask Cissy later." Sirius added just as Remus and Peter arrived.
"Excuse me guys," Remus said as he and Peter sat down. "is there a particular reason that the Slytherin's are treating Harry and Narcissa like they have the black plague?"
"I didn't know your family had a plague." Peter said to Sirius. Sirius, James and Remus looked at each other, they were really not sure if that was a joke or not so they decided to ignore him.
"Well me and Prongs think that Harry did something," Sirius confessed. "It makes sense after all, I mean he is ridiculously powerful."
"Well...he can't be that strong." Peter said in a disbelieving voice.
"Peter," James said as the other looked at him like he was an idiot. "you saw what he did to Malfoy and Snivelus, plus we saw Harry deal with Moony with a single spell, and that was on the full moon. He's powerful."
"No wonder Narcissa likes him." Remus said.
"She doesn't like him." Peter said.
"Hmm...yeah she does." Sirius said.
"Pretty sure she does." James nodded in agreement. "I mean the bloke has the famously brilliant male Potter looks, Evan's eyes and Merlin's power. I'm surprised that girls aren't throwing themselves at his feet. His feet are probably perfect too, bet he doesn't he even have a single toenail longer than it should be. I mean even the Gryffindor girl are talking about him."
"He's the new flavour of the month." Sirius added. "Maybe even the year, the guy is annoyingly perfect."
"Who is?" Lily asked as she and Alice arrived and sat down.
"Harry." James said as he gestured to Harry.
"Why are the Slytherin's sitting away from them?" Alice asked curiously.
"We think that Harry did something to scare them." Remus confessed.
"We're not sure though." Sirius added. "But seeing as how Harry is pretty powerful and how Malfoy and friends don't like him, it's our best bet."
"Do you two think Harry is perfect?" Peter asked, hoping for a 'no'.
"Well he looks perfect." Alice smirked. "Lily, what about you?"
"Well I won't say 'no' on the looks department," Lily said as she glanced toward Harry. "magically powerful definitely. He does wandless magic with the same ease in which we walk, I'm a little jealous actually."
"A little?" Alice raised an eyebrow.
"Okay a lot." Lily admitted. "I mean I wish I could do wandless magic like he can."
"I think we all do." James said. "Imagine how much easier life would be if we didn't need wands and could just do anything with a wave of our hands."
"Yeah but knowing you...you'd probably still find a way to make that seem like too much effort."
"Do you like reading Harry?" Narcissa asked as she sat in her room and idly turned the page of the book she was reading.
"I do not dislike reading." Harry said as he sat next to her. "You seem to be enjoying your book." Harry noted after sensing her emotions.
"It is a good book." Narcissa said as she continued reading. "I've just gotten to the bit where the hero of the story kisses the girl."
"Why does that please you so much?" Harry asked, tilting his head slightly.
"When I am older my parents will likely force me against my will to marry someone I do not want to marry..."
"They will not." Harry said, cutting her off.
"What makes you think that?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I will not let them." Harry said simply. "You are my lady, you will not be forced to do anything against your will, I will prevent it from happening."
"Thank you Harry," She said in a soft voice as she smiled at him. "but I feel rather resigned to it happening. Reading these books allow me to live through these characters. For example in this chapter, the girl gets kissed by someone who cares for her, I don't think that will ever happen to me."
She said before looking down, Harry looked at her and realised that her emotions had gotten worse. It appeared to him that she was upset because nobody who cares for her would kiss her. He mentally listed all of the people he knew that cared for her, the first names that came up was her cousins Sirius and Regulus. He was a second from teleporting out to grab one of them and bringing them back before demanding that they kiss their cousin when he remembered that he cared for her.
She was his mistress after all, a good mistress a well and definitely a kind mistress.
Narcissa was deep into her book, reading how the girl felt on top of the world while being kissed. She wondered if that was an understatement or an overreaction, she could not tell as she had never been kissed. In the Black family you do not kiss a boy unless you are planning to marry him or are already married.
Narcissa was about to continue reading when she felt a soft hand on the side of her face, the hand gently pushed her face so she was looking at the owner of said hand. Harry looked at her, his other hand gently grabbed her by the waist, both pulled her closer. She looked into his eyes as her own widened upon realisation of what was happening, she was about to object when she saw something and got distracted. Something in his eyes, a flicker of emotion, it was brief but she was certain that she had seen it. The fact that he had chosen that moment to give her a small smile did not help.
The distraction was long enough for Harry to place his lips against hers, in the book it had said that the girl felt on top of the world, Narcissa now understood why. She felt not only her emotions rise but her magic explode, she had no idea if Harry was doing something to her magic to make it feel the way it did but within that moment she did not care, all that mattered was how good it felt.
Her eyes closed as she her arms wrapped around his neck, she responded to his kiss, she wasn't experienced at all in the art of kissing but she felt like she was getting the hand of it. Eventually she realised something, Harry was no longer in charge of the kissing, he had allowed her to take over and now she was kissing and he was responding to her kiss. Her tongue had gently poked his lips and he opened his mouth to allow her access.
Narcissa's pleasure shot up as the two had shifted from kissing to full blown snogging, Harry was not lazy but had chosen to allow Narcissa to take the lead and react to her.
Several minutes later Narcissa had stopped, she was panting with her hands resting on Harry's shoulder. She looked up at him and saw that despite not being tired he had a small smile on his lips.
"W...what was that for?" She asked.
"You wished to be kissed." Harry said to her before his smile slowly disappeared and he returned to his usual expressionless face. "Is there anything else I can do for you my lady?"
"Um...no, no." Narcisa shook her head. "Could...could you please go back to your room now? I...I will call you if I need you."
"Yes my lady." Harry nodded before he teleported out of the room.
As soon as he was gone Narcissa collapsed on the bed, she looked up at the ceiling, wondering what would happen now.
