Chapter 21

Down in the snake pit

'The Potter Ladies' as they were described in the House of Snake, were all sat in their usual spot on a couple of little sofa's chatting away about this and that. Obviously, there were other names given to them by the Slytherins, but they never heard about them!

The ladies were envious of the little Gryffindor having her time alone with Harry.

"Its nearly curfew, they'd better not get caught" said Milly quietly.

Tracey gave a giggle.

"Well with Harry's luck, if he fell into a bath full of tit's, he'd come out sucking his thumb!" she said making her friends burst out in hysterics. "But truthfully, he may play fast and loose with the rules on his own, but he wouldn't get us in trouble….I don't think" She continued thoughtfully.

Pansy just chuckled.

"No, he wouldn't, he's not like that" she said with a smile. "But on another note, I had a letter from home tonight. The goblins have just put our new wards in place, and Daddy says they are the strongest he's ever seen. They must have cost Harry a fortune" she whispered so they weren't overheard.

"My parents said that too" agreed Tracey nodding furiously "They said god help anyone who tries to break them. Plus, if they do try the Goblins are notified and then send out guards to attack the intruders, and as you know they don't do anything on the cheap" she added, watching her friends nod in agreement.

It was then they noticed a group of older students heading their way.

"Heads up" hissed Millicent quietly as she watched the group of two girls and five boys gather by them. "And what can we do for you this evening" She asked, her tone being colder than ice.

"Can it Bulstrode" spat the leader. "We know you think you lot are hot shit, hanging around Potter and his blood traitor bitches, even a fucking mudblood, you bring dishonour to the noble House of Slytherin" and his crowd growled in approval of his statement.

Pansy stood up with hands on her hips and an award-winning sneer on her face.

"Now you listen here Pucey, don't give us the whole dishonour garbage. You lot" she shouted and pointed at the group in front of her "have done more to dishonor the House of Slytherin, than we ever could. You lot and Draco are why we are hated. We and we alone are trying to rebuild our honour".

Pucey just laughed and shook his head.

"You dumb bitches know nothing. The Dark Lord will soon call all Slytherins to his banner, and those who do not enter his service will fall by our wands" he announced forcefully and in one swift movement himself and his group pulled up their right sleeves showing off their dark marks. "Your time will come, or you die" He stated with satisfaction.

Daphne stood up next to Pansy.

"You could be chucked out of Slytherin for showing that, maybe even expulsion and prison, if the teachers find out" Daphne shouted.

The group growled,

"And who's going to tell them bitch?!" spat Pucey, "If I hear even a whisper from you lot, you and your family will be targeted, so best you and your sewing circle get with the programme and when he calls, join us" and with that Pucey and his crowd turned and left, going back to their normal shadowy corner.

The girls settled again swapping worried looks.

"Fuck that lot" snarled Millicent "Tomorrow we write to our parents and tell them what happened, talk to Harry about it and make plan's. Do you agree?".

The girls nodded and then they all headed up to their dorms to write their letters home, but all knowing that all their families are safe behind the strongest wards known to Goblin kind, and all thanks to their betrothed Harry Potter.

Once all the letters were done, Milly called for Dobby and with a crack the crazy looking Elf arrived.

"You called, soon to be Lady Potter?" he said with a bow "and a good evening to all of Master Harry's snakey ladies" he added, making all the girls chuckle.

Millicent beamed at being called Lady Potter.

"Dobby would you kindly take all of these letters to our parents please? As long as Harry doesn't mind" she said handing over the four envelopes.

Dobby took them from her happily.

"Master Harry said for me to helps all his lovely ladies" he said and then gave Daphne a strange look. "But Master Harry did say that he heard the Mistress Daph-daph is very messy so I don't have to help her!"

Dobby gave Daphne a sheepish grin as she growled at the statement, even though the room boomed with laughter.

"Well you can go and tell your master to go and fu.." started Daphne.

"Thank you Dobby" Millicent interrupted Daphne just in the nick of time! "and you serve your Master well, maybe too well" she said looking at the fuming Daphne who was now scribbling a note.

Daphne jumped off the bed and handed the red coloured note which seemed to be smoking a little.

"Dobby, could you take this to Harry after you've delivered the other letter, please" she asked kindly but with fire in her eyes.

"My pleasure Lady Snakey" he replied and with a bow he disappeared.

The angry blond walked to the bathroom and kicked open the door muttering all the time.

"Bloody Daph Daph! I'll give him fucking Daph Daph, and who says I'm fucking messy? Ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr bastard Potter!".

The other three girls bid each other goodnight while listening so the rants from the bathroom.

In the meantime, Dobby popped from parent to parent and each one asked who the smoking red letter was for and from and why, and after a quick explanation he left four very amused sets of parents, of course until they read their own letters. But they all knew that this day would come, and all being from neutral families they knew if the darkness came back to their world they would have to make a choice. As a group, they had decided to join the light, but not follow Dumbledore. Instead they are following the young man that has captured their daughter's heart, Harry Potter.

Lions den & payback

Being quite late in the day the common room was empty all except for three students. Harry was sitting on a big comfy sofa, while his red headed Gryffindor girlfriend was straddling him while having a very enjoyable time snogging. The other occupant was his bushy haired girlfriend, who was quite happily reading next to them, as she waited for her turn to say goodnight.

She kept on stealing glances which made her squirm and clamp her thighs together to try to stop the tingling, which only got worse as Ginny moaned as Harry started to grope her arse as they kissed!

CRACK!

"Oh Dobby!" shouted Hermione, stopping the busy couple mid grope. "How are you and, oh dear, who is that for?" she asked when she noticed the smoking envelope.

"Evening Master Harry's Lady Grangy and Lady Weazy. This is from Mistress Daph-daph for Master Harry" he said, now holding the letter at arms length.

Hermione stared at the laughing boy as Ginny slipped off of his lap.

"What did you do this time Harry? You're always pushing her buttons" Hermione asked while putting her book far away from the smoking letter.

"Oh not much, I just like to see how unflappable our little ice queen is" he chuckled.

Harry took the letter from the Elf.

"Ok Dobby thank you, you may flee and save yourself!" Harry said and they all watched as he bowed and disappeared. "Daph has this fire in her which builds up, I just help her let it out" he explained while he got ready to open it. "Right let's go" he announced and tore the envelope open as the two girls hid behind the sofa waiting for the explosion of sound.

Daphnes voice cut through the air,

"HARRY JAMES POTTER! HOW DARE YOU TELL DOBBY TO CALL ME BY THAT NAME. I'LL GIVE YOU FUCKING DAPH DAPH YOU SHIT, AND WHO TOLD YOU I WAS MESSY AND THAT'S WHY DOBBY CAN'T CLEAN FOR ME? WHEN I FIND OUT WHO SAID IT THEY ARE DEAD, PLUS YOU'RE DEAD ANYWAY. BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT YOU PISS TAKING BASTARD!" she boomed.

"On a lighter note, I shall meet you for our run at 6am at the quidditch pitch, DO NOT LET ME DOWN".

And with that it tore itself into pieces and the remnants burnt away.

"Oh Harry, you are so dead in the morning. You do know that don't you?" whispered a near deaf Ginny who's head was poking just over the back of the sofa next to an even bushier haired Hermione.

"You're crazy Harry" Ginny continued "But I must say thank you for tonight, it was the best" and she crept around to give him another kiss. "Love you Harry, and I'll see you in the morning…...hopefully" she said glancing back as she walked to her room.

"Night Gin" chorused the elder teens.

Hermione made her way round from the back of the sofa and sat on the boy's lap.

"She's right you know, you're dead in the morning" she chuckled as she tried to flatten his unruly hair. "Be that it may, you still owe me a date Harry. A real date if you can swing it, dinner in a restaurant and dancing, you got that? We may be betrothed but I'm still a girl who wants to be dated properly" she looked sternly at him.

"Yes dear" Harry answered stunned.

He was wondering how he was going to fix Hermione's and Daphne's dates, but as he did he slid his hand up her bare leg under her loose school skirt and massaged her thigh.

"I'll take that as a yes Harry" Hermione said and she leant forward and nibbled on his ear as she moaned. "Kiss me Harry, kiss me like I'm the only girl in the world" she whispered.

Harry grinned and stared into her eyes as they kissed, and as it grew in intensity they melted into one, and that point she really did feel like the only girl in the whole wide world.

The next morning Harry woke up as usual and dressed in his workout clothes. He planned on getting down to the pitch early so he could see Daphne arrive, judge her mood, and decide if he should run. Sporting a big grin, he jogged down to the quidditch pitch and was relieved to see it totally empty. He put his hands on his hips and with a sigh sat on a bench to wait, but as he touched down his world went black.

Daphne stood over her betrothed with a big grin on her face, she knew he would get here early as they were alike in so many ways. So, she got here even earlier and hid, of course she was pissed about last night but she also knew he meant no harm by it, it was just their thing and she loved it, but still she can't be seen to not retaliate, so here we are.

"Rennervate" she said pointing her wand at Harry and watching as his eyes flew open and took in the scene around him.

His eyes travelled over his lycra clad betrothed.

"Shit" he muttered.

"Shit indeed, my love" she replied and took a seat next to the prone, tied up Harry.

Harry tried sporting his famous crooked grin, but the Ice Queen was in command, and he was worried that he may of pushed her a little bit too far this time.

"Listen Daphne, I'm sorry. It was just a joke" he explained brightly, hoping to thaw her exterior.

She leaned forward and kissed him softly.

"Oh, Daphne now is it? Not Daph-daph?" she growled and pointed her wand at his forehead "Now I love you Harry, and I enjoy our little battles, but I can't be seen as weak. Oh no Harry I cannot, and when our contracts are fulfilled in the summer I will become the doting wife, and I don't mind you calling me Daph in private, but only in private".

Harry started to breath a bit easier despite the pressure she was putting on her wand against his head.

"Ok Daph, I promise not to call you that anymore, or get anyone else to call you it, my love" he said solemnly and watched her eyes warm up.

"That's a deal my love, and now for your punishment; we have classes in about an hour and a half, so we can't mess around" she said in a business-like fashion, and with a flick of her wand his bounds fell away. "Ok" she continued "Give me your wand…..now".

Harry's mind was racing. What could he say to turn this situation into a win for him? But once again he saw her eyes turn to ice and he knew he was doomed.

"Ok Daph, here you go" he uttered as he handed the wand over, whilst feeling the loss of his wand strongly.

Seeing this, Daphne put her hand on his cheek and gave him a kiss.

"Don't worry Harry, you will get it back, I promise" she whispered as they stood close together feeling each other's heat.

Then she suddenly stood back and with a strange smile on her face which would scare many a man, she pointed her wand at her betrothed.

"Evanesco!" She announced, making all of Harry's clothes disappear, leaving him in just trainers and socks.

With wide eyes he grabbed his man bits, trying to protect them from the world like an embarrassed pre teen!

"DAPHNE!, what the fuck?" he spluttered, shooting looks around the stadium. "I'm sorry …. Ok? Can I have my clothes back now…..pleaseeeeeeee".

Daphne shook her head as she took in his form. 'Damn, Tracey was right, we've nothing to worry about' she thought, which brought a flush to her cheeks.

"Now Harry dear, this is a lesson for you. Cause and effect, you antagonise me in front of our friends, so I reciprocate. They do say that payback is a bitch, and today I am that bitch. Now hopefully you will learn not to push my buttons" she said in a very sing-song voice, which was very unlike her. She continued "now my love I have put a 'sticking charm' on your shoes which will release you in 30mins" saying this as she walked around, him letting her hand run over his scarred but toned body. She then gave his bottom a spank making him jump. "But I will put a 'glamor spell' on you to cover up you're scars, because they are ours to know about and no one else my love" she said and kissed him on his shoulder.

He couldn't believe this! He was done up like a kipper. If it was the weekend it would be ok-ish as people tend to sleep in, but this is Monday morning, the Ravenclaws are always up first, damn them.

"Please Daph, not this. Pleaseeeee" he wined.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhush now my love, you need this lesson." Daphne reassured. "Now your wand and clothes will be in the great hall at our table waiting for you my Lord, and I want you to walk in like the great man you are, no skulking or running. Be as proud of yourself as we are of you" she said still standing behind him, running her hands over him almost in a trance like state. Then with a head shake and a shudder she came back to herself. "Well, I need to get back to shower and change, see you soon Harry".

Harry was just about to answer when he felt a pain in his arse cheek.

"Shitttt!, what was that? Did you just bite me?" he asked, shocked.

Blushing even more she gave his bum another smack.

"Sorry, just couldn't resist it, just looks so delicious mmmmmmm. Okay, bye Harry" she shouted as she strode away chuckling away to herself.

She could still hear him cursing as she entered the castle and headed back to her dorm to get ready for the day ahead.

30 minutes later all of Harry's partners and friends were sat at their usual table, the hall was still only a quarter full but it was starting to fill up. Luckily for Harry only three Professors, Dumbledore, Mcgonagall and Flitwick were there.

A yawning Tracey stared at her friend.

"What's going on Daphne? Why did you call us here sooooooo fucking early" she yawned.

Looking around at her soon to be sister wives she replied,

"For this" Daphne smirked, reaching into her bag and pulling out all of Harry's school uniform, with his wand balancing on top.

The Slytherins all smirked, but the rest of the girls looked concerned.

"What did you do to him Daphne?" whispered Hermione.

Looking at the bushy haired witch she smiled with the smile of a goddess.

"I taught him a lesson and it should put an end to his constant act of pushing my buttons" Daphne said cooly.

All the table chuckled while trying to scan the hall for the sign of bare flesh.

Ginny was still laughing but shaking her head,

"I think you have just upped the stakes that's all Daphne" she chuckled.

Pansy looked confused as did the rest of the Snakes and Puffs. It was only the Gryffindors who nodded.

"What do you mean Gin?" Pansy whispered across the table. "Surely this would scare him straight?!"

Ginny leaned in,

"Well you haven't known Harry as long as us, so you don't know his family's rumoured history" she said and continued quickly as she saw the confused Snake was about to interrupt. "Harry's father and his friends were known as the marauders. They were jokers and pranksters. Harry found this out in his third year from his godfather Sirius Black, who Harry loved like a Father, even though he only knew him for just a short time. And with his father's friend, Remus Lupin, they told him all about their exploits and encouraged Harry to do some pranks himself. With the help of Fred and George he did and enjoyed it, maybe too much!" Ginny concluded and started to see Daphne pale. "But in his defence it was only low key stuff and mainly Malfoy and his goons. But now he's found his match and the fact that you love each other just makes it more fun".

Daphne saw all her Snake friends pale and all the Gryphs smile and nod at her .

"Oh shit, what have I done" she said wide eyed and staring at the entrance to the hall.

While Daphne was staring at the door waiting for Harry, he was creeping up towards the castle his heart beating a million times a minute. He was angry and embarrassed but excited.

"Now starts a prank war my love" he whispered to himself,

.

He sneaked a peak around the door and saw about five students milling around waiting for friends. He was breathing deeply now, trying to steel himself for the task ahead.

"Hello Harry Potter, I can see your bottom" a voice said

Harry jumped around after being surprised and bringing his fist up ready to fight, before realising they were needed for a important job down below!

"LLLLLuna" he uttered as he saw his blonde headed slightly dysfunctional friend standing behind him.

"Morning Harry" Luna said smiling "I saw your penis too, no wonder all the girls like you. Is everyone going naked today? Should I take my clothes off too?" she asked seriously, as she started to take off her robes.

Harry panicked.

"No no oh god no Luna, stop" he said quickly, thankfully making the witch stop her disrobing. "it's just a prank pulled by Daphne, she has my clothes in the great hall" he said quickly.

Luna was still gazing at her friend hardly even listening to him, she had never seen a boy naked before. But she did like it though she thought that most boys wouldn't look even half as good as Harry.

"Well Harry Potter, let's get you dressed, shall we?" she said as she walked up to him and hooked her arm through his resisting arm. "Come on you baby" She said jovially and dragged him through the door arm in arm and headed towards the great hall.

The talking had stopped and heads turned, mouths opened and eyes widened as the 'chosen one' walked into the great hall naked, arm in arm with Luna Lovegood. Girls were blushing in every corner of the hall, but their eyes never left him for one second,. Boys laughed, some growled with anger and even one or two blushed and secretly watched the toned young man.

Laughter came from the Headmaster and Flitwick and even a slight grin came from Professor McGonagall.

"Mr Potter, you seem to be underdressed" McGonagall said sternly, but with a twinkle in her eye "Who may I ask have you managed to annoy this time? Or despite my warnings, is it that you have annoyed Miss Greengrass again?!".

In response Daphne was keeping her head down and taking a lot of notice in her breakfast. With all Harry's friends staring and laughing at him he replied

"Well Professor, I think you hit the nail on the head" Harry smiled confidently. "I may have pushed my lovely Daphne too far last night. But it's all fun and games I assure you" he said with a winning smile and a wink.

Harry then turned himself and Luna around, walking up to his friends table and he stood right behind Daphne, pressing himself against her back and placing his hands on her shoulder so she could feel him there, making her blush.

"Thank you for the escort Luna, would you care to join us for breakfast?" he asked politely, gesturing to an empty seat next to Millicent who was mentally ravaging him by the looks of it.

Luna smiled and gave him a playful slap on him bum.

"Thank you Harry, I would love that" she smiled taking the empty seat "Hello all, I'm Luna, Luna Lovegood" she said to everyone, before tucking into her breakfast not noticing all the people staring at her.

Daphne's blush was that vivid she could feel sweat on her brow, not to mention the mass pressed against her back which just pulsed with heat. She tried to calm herself down even though everyone was now looking at her and Harry.

"Ttttook your time Potter" she stuttered.

"Yeah sorry about that Daphne. I stopped for a chat with young Luna over there." Harry replied amiably. "Now would you be a dear and magic my clothes back on? Unless you'd like me to stay like this for the rest of the day?" he whispered into her ear, as he ground himself into her back.

"NOW NOW Mr Potter, leave the poor girl alone" said a now very close Professor McGonagall. "Let me assist you, as people have had enough excitement for one meal! Oh Miss Bulstrode and Davis, please wipe your mouths you're drooling dears" and with a wave of her wand she redressed her Grandson in all but blood.

"Thank you Professor, there was a nasty breeze" Harry said, giving the old witch a wink. "Now breakfast, I think I'll sit next to Miss Greengrass today" He announced and slid in between Daphne and Susan. "Morning ladies, everyone is a bit quiet this morning?" He observed and beamed at everyone.

They all seemed to be in shock. His gaze locked onto Milly's eyes and he smiled giving her a wink, and in that moment, she gave an animalistic growl and she was up and across the table latching onto him and kissing deeply as gravity helped them on their way to the floor, scattering friends and food alike.

"I guess that's five points each for inter house cooperation, don't you think Professor McGonagall" chuckled the Headmaster, looking at his colleagues who were trying to hold back the laughter.

a/n right that's it I'm afraid for another fortnight, hope you enjoyed it and please leave reviews, unless you're going to slate me or my story, then don't bother ..

look after yourselves, and watch out for ignorant twats trying to kill innocent people who are just trying to live their lives peacefully.

rant over.
