To be Whole Again
Last Time
--
"Did you know Luna is attending detentions with Umbitch." Astoria asked.
"Yes." Harry replied cautiously.
He had only not interfered with the detention before because he knew that Umbridge had only used the blood quills on him in the previous timeline. Because afterall they were illegal and using them on many students would surely increase the chance of the authorities finding out.
"Show it to him Luna." Astoria said in a soft but firm voice, leaving no room for argument.
As Luna lifted her left hand reluctantly and put in front of Harry the atmosphere changed.
The air was thick.
Nonexistent wind started blowing.
Breathing became difficult.
And a pair of bright emerald circles started glowing.

The Defense Against the Dark Art Classroom, Hogwarts, 23rd September 1995
Umbridge was currently sitting behind her desk, having a cup of tea while admiring her kittens on the decorative plates adorning the walls of her office thinking and shuddering in pleasure while thinking about the pain, she had inflicted on the little girl just a few moments before.
' This is just the start. I hope he does make a move, that would give me a good enough reason to bring up false charges, and if not get Potter a one-way ticket to Azkaban, I could atleast get me expelled and his wand spanned. And if this does not cause him to act, it is just an added incentive for me to continue the … detentions.' Umbridge though
BOOM!
That noise blasted Umbridge out of her thought and caused her to drop off the chair in shock. Looking up to see who was the cause of this, she looked up just for her eyes to meet a pair of frighteningly bright emerald green eyes.
Staring into those emerald orbs brought out an emotion she had not felt in a long time... fear.
It reminded her of some of the more sinister rumors she had heard in the Ministry about the Boy-Who-Lived. There had been rumors about his magical prowess, of a power and skill greater than any other student in the castle, more than what he had shown in the championship or the Triwizard tournament
Though, being the woman that she was she just could not back down and just had to make matters worse for her. Umbridge just could not stand the sight of Harry anymore. Her outrage overriding her sense of self-preservation, she stormed over to Potter and jabbed her finger into his chest.
"How dare you!" she bellowed in anger. "How dare you barge in this class, Potter? How dare you barge in my class? I shall see you expelled for this!"
In her anger, she did not notice Potter waving his hand and the doors and windows of the class being closed and being locked by several advanced locking charms, nor did she notice the number of privacy wards going up around them.
"You are finished, Potter! Do you hear me?" Umbridge shouted as she continued to jab her finger in Harry's chest as she continued to rant on. "Your Headmaster will not be able to save you! Your titles will not be able to save you! Your little sluts will not be able to save you! You will be expelled! I will personally snap your wand and throw you out of the castle, you filthy half-breed!"
"Obviously you were not taught respect by your parents as they were too busy being dead! And I say good for us, atleast the world got rid of a blood traitor and a mudblood! I am the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic! I control you! I control this School! I…"
She was cut off as a strong hand landed on her right shoulder, startling her into silence.
"Do you feel in control, Dolores?"
She gaped in astonishment as she looked up into the face of the Boy-Who-Lived. And while he was taller and muscular than a normal fifteen-year-old, he was by no means taller or stronger than the average adult; yet as she looked into his face, she felt a paralyzing fear overtake all of her senses. The air seemed to grow thicker around her, and she began to feel a slight difficulty in breathing.
It took her a minute to realize she was not imagining any of it.
The difficulty in breathing.
The wind blowing.
The emerald glow around her.
The shadows and darkness that had covered the classroom.
The unforgiving eyes which no longer resembled a human's eye.
All she could see in Potter's eyes was mythical golden symbol of the deathly hallows in a sea of black.
The air around her kept getting denser by the minute, causing her breath to hitch in her throat. Magic seemed to roll off the monster before her in waves, saturating their surroundings with pure energy. The symbol in his eyes glowed brighter by the second, showing the barely restrained power waiting to be unleashed as the sheer pressure of his presence crushed the very air out of her lungs, her body unable to move an inch.
"Wh-what are you?" she finally croaked out, her very soul trembling with fear she had never experienced before.
"Who, me?" Potter said softly, his hand brushing off the nonexistent dust off of Umbridge's shoulders and his eyes focusing on said shoulders as he continued. "I am Lord Harry James Potter Black, the Boy-Who-Lived, the Man who defeated Voldemort, the Man who defeated a dragon, the current world dueling champion."
Before Potter abruptly looked up into her eyes, with the same intensity and power, but only this time, the power did not seem restrained, it was indeed flowing, flowing like a river.
"And your reckoning."
She gurgled in horrified surprise as she was suddenly lifted into the air and flung across the room to collide against the wall with a sickening crunch.
She rolled on the floor grunting in pain, dimly aware of the slow footsteps that kept coming closer to her. Her eyes fell upon her wand right beside her on the floor.
She picked up the wand as fast as she could, a short and stubby piece of wood, and pointed it unsteadily at the figure approaching her. Her head was still throbbing with pain and a small trickle of blood ran down the edge of her mouth. She said the first spell that popped into her mind. " Avada Kedavra!"
Suddenly, her wand and her wand arm burst into flames.
Shrieking in pain and horror, Umbridge desperately tried to extinguish the flames on her arm, watching it slowly burning her skin and burning her wand into ash as it hit the ground. After desperately trying to extinguish the fire and succeeding, but not before the damage could be done.
Looking up she saw Potter still walking towards her like a predator would walk towards its dead prey. Cradling her burned arm to her chest, Umbridge scampered away from Potter until she hit the far away wall.
"Tch, tch, Madam Umbridge." Harry spoke disapprovingly, with a face that would be used by a disappointed parent. "That's is not the away a ministry employee should carry herself." Slowly drawing his own wand.
"Nor should the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic be torturing students. And certainly not my SISTER IN ALL BUT BLOOD!" Potter shouted out, a wave of magic pushing off of him and obliterating anything standing in its way, pushing Umbridge hard against the wall behind her, slamming her head into the wall.
"You like dishing out pain? Let us see how well you can handle the same pain you dish out." Potter whispered in a cold icy tone that would freeze even the most veterans of Aurors in their place and make them shiver in fear.
"P-please… P-P-Potter… P-p-please." Umbridge whimpered, tears streaking down her cheeks.
" Curcio" Potter whispered out in the same cold voice.
Umbridge screamed in pain as she felt as though a thousand of molten knives had dug into her body. Pain unlike anything she had ever felt coursed through her; she wanted to black out, to die… anything that would put an end to this horrific pain searing though her. Dolores Umbridge drew her legs into her chest and screamed in agony, her voice reverberating throughout the classroom.
Mercifully, her world went dark.

The Hospital Wing, Hogwarts, 24th September 1995
"Ah, finally! You are awake Professor Umbridge."
Umbridge blearily opened her eyes to look into the concerned face of Madam Pomfrey, the Hogwarts Medi-witch.
"Wh-what happened? Where am I?" Umbridge asked weakly, unable to fully comprehend what was going on.
"Easy there Professor." Pomfrey said soothingly. "You are in the Hospital Wing."
Her eyes fully snapped open in surprise. There were a thousand questions rushing through her mind. How was she still alive? Where was the M... Mon... Monster who attacked her? How did she get to the Hospital Wing? Last thing she remembered was unbearable pain and then darkness.
"The seventh-year students brought you in this morning. They had come for their morning class of DADA when they saw you fainted near the classroom entrance door."
' Though they also did mention they had to move something as heavy as a cupboard blocking the door, only to find they had moved her.' Pomfrey continued in her mind, deeming it irrelevant to tell to the 'poor' professor.
Umbridge hearing it at first contracted into a ball! Pulling her legs up to her chest and looking around in fear, like she was going to be attacked any second now.
Pulling her legs closer to her chest using her arms she waited for…
Wait a minute. The pain. The Cruciatus curse…
Umbridge quickly ran her hands over her body, as if to check if all of her limbs were still attached. Her heart beating wildly inside her chest.
This cannot be possible
It was gone. The pain was gone!
She knew enough about the Cruciatus curse to know that the pain from such a Dark curse simply did not disappear in a few hours. The spell was considered an Unforgivable for a reason. Long term damage was pretty common for those who had been kept under the curse for more than a minute. Even minor exposure to the spell left a great deal of pain and aches over the body. Some even suffered from a complete mental breakdown. Their brain disconnecting their conscience from reality just to not feel pain anymore.
But Umbridge felt nothing. No aches, no pain... it was like she had never been placed under the curse in the first place.
And her hand... she stared at her hand in astonishment. Her previously injured hand was completely healed as well. For all intents and purposes, it was like she had never been attacked in the first place.
She had to get out of here. It was all a mistake... this accursed castle, this Merlin-damned school! She had to get away from all this… from Potter... from that Monster .
Umbridge started to move towards the Floo before she cursed and doubled back to the bedside drawer, where her possessions were laid out neatly.
The sight that greeted her nearly made her pass out of sheer terror.
Lying innocently on the table was a very familiar piece of short and study wood. Beneath it lay a small piece of parchment, with a message written in near, clear script.
I must not tell lies

The Library, Hogwarts, 24th September 1995
Neville was starting to get worried.
He had searched almost the entire castle for his friend but Harry had not been in any of the places he had checked. The Ravenclaw's said that Harry's dorm room was empty, and the Ravenclaws were also trying to figure out where Harry might have gone to after they saw him rush out of the common room last night with a thunderous expression on his face.
Deciding to try a place he thought that he would never have to look for Harry in after the Triwizard Tournament, Neville pushed the door to the library rather roughly. Madam Prince, the evil librarian gave him a withering glare, which he winced at before quietly closing the door behind him. Once the librarian had turned back to her work, Neville began to look around the library for his friend.
All of the study tables were filled with Ravenclaw students, all of them eager to get their batch of homework done before the next day began. Shaking his head, Neville headed further into the stacks of ancient tomes towards the most secluded study tables. There, in the most isolated and well-hidden table, sat Daphne, Tracey, Susan, and Hannah. He smiled a little and walked over to the table, noting how Susan and Daphne quickly ended their discussion as he drew nearer.
"Hey guys." He greeted them casually, "Any of you seen Harry around?"
Daphne and Susan both blushed, leading him to believe that his friend had been the subject of their discussion before he had arrived. Tracey smirked at Daphne before answering.
"No, we haven't, I have a feeling that we wouldn't be here if we had." She replied, ignoring the glares she was receiving from Susan and Daphne. Neville frowned deeply but remained silent. Hannah, sensing his mood darkening, put a reassuring hand on his shoulder, having stood up to comfort him.
"Hey... what's the matter Neville?" she asked. Her genuine concern caused Neville to sigh deeply.
"Have you not heard what happened yesterday?" He frowned again. When he was treated to the same concerned and confused glances Neville elaborated.
"Apparently Astoria pulled Luna into the Ravenclaw common room last night after Luna's detention." Neville started before being interrupted by a shocked Slytherin.
"What? Why was Tori in the Ravenclaw common room? How did she even know where the common room is or what the password to the common room is?" asked a shocked Daphne before muttering "She has been spending way too much time with Harry and the Weasley twins."
"Anyways, the rumor is that Astoria was furious, they are calling her the ice princess apparently for some reason. She pulled Luna up to Harry and they had a small discussion before Harry turned more furious than anyone had ever seen him. He then rushed out of the common room and the girls then went into Luna's dorm room." Neville explained.
The expression on the girls' face went through several emotions, first was an annoyed expression when they heard the new nickname given to Astoria, before changing to confusion as they all just could not guess what would make Astoria angry, before turning down right concerned when they heard how Harry had reacted.
"What could have happened to make him so angry? Did you try to ask Tori or Luna about it?" a worried Susan questioned Neville.
"They did not come out of the dorm room all night yesterday till today morning and whenever I asked one of them, they both said that Harry had specifically asked them not to share the details with anyone." Neville replied.
Hannah suddenly turned towards Daphne and just as she was about to open her mouth and ask something, she was stopped by Daphne with a shake of her head and then saying. "I can try to talk to Tori, but I would not be much optimistic about it. If Harry has specifically requested her not to share something then she will not, not unless father is the one asking her. She just respects Harry too much to betray his trust in such a way. Even if it is me or Susan asking her." Daphne said sadly.
"Then I think the best option is to split into pairs and start searching the castle." Tracey suggested. "We can cover more ground that way."
Everyone seemed to agree to this as they stood up at once and started moving towards the exit with pairs made on instinct.
"If none of us can find him by dinner time then we go to the Headmaster and hope he might be able to find him. I know this is also a break of trust Harry has in us, but you know how he gets when angry, I fear what might happen if we do not find him." Neville said looking straight at Daphne and Susan's retreating back. "I know those two would be devastated if something were to happen to Harry, and I have no desire to see that happen."
While one could see that it had taken Neville a lot of deliberation and strength to make the decision his resolve after making it was strong and unwavering.
Both the girls with him nodded while Tracey put an arm on Neville shoulder and Hannah grasped his hand, knowing they had to do what needed to be done.
--
"What could have happened?" Susan asked worriedly.
"I do not know, but I am sure going to find out. Idiotic Gryffindors I tell you." Daphne replied coldly.
"Former" Susan corrected, a smirk on her face.
Daphne did not reply, just rolled her eyes at Susan's reply.
"There should be some way to find out where he is. I know he always keeps the map on him, so we cannot use that, but maybe some other way we could use to track him." Daphne kept mumbling to herself, trying to think of a way to track their wayward Boyfriend.
"Dobby!" Susan called out. The little house elf in question popped into existence in the middle of the corridor, a pillow case with the Hogwarts crest his only clothing. The elf looked up at Susan and Daphne and bowed his head a little.
"Mistresses are calling Dobby?" he squeaked.
"Dobby, we need to find Harry. Do you know his general location?" Daphne asked the elf, knowing that the elf was probably crazy enough to have tracked Harry. The elf smiled wide before nodding his head enthusiastically, making his ears flop around madly.
"Oh yes! Dobby is knowing that Master Harry Potter went up to the seventh floo." He suddenly became grief-stricken, "But Dobby is not knowing what room he be in on the seventh floor. Dobby is sorry Mistress."
"No issues at all Dobby, you have been of great help! We might just know where to find him now. Thank you, Dobby, you may go. Come on Daphne, we need to hurry." Susan gently said to the elf before turning around and running towards the great stair case.
"I am so glad he is not in the Chamber of Secrets, otherwise none of us might have been able to get to him." Daphne said as she ran besides Susan up the stair towards the Room of Requirement.

The Room of Requirements, Hogwarts, 24th September 1995
Harry was sitting down, his eyes focused on the sword in his hand, when the two girls barged into the room. He looked up from the gem-encrusted hilt of the sword to look up at the two witches who meant more to him than anything in the world, the girls who he was thinking of the most at the moment, and thinking what was right. He raised an eyebrow but said nothing before returning to looking at the way the light from the fireplace in front of him reflected off of the sword's edge. Idly, he spun the sword. With mild curiosity, Harry raised the blade to inspect the tip.
Of course, it was just a flawlessly sharp as it had always been.
He chuckled a little. You had to respect the goblins; even if it was just for their weapons alone. This sword was most likely older than the castle it now resided in and yet it still performed as if it had been forged yesterday. The various charms on its blade would have to have been very intricate to even keep it from rusting over the years but the way it was just as perfect as the day it was first ready to use just lent more credit to the popular belief that the Goblin forgers must have access to magic beyond that of any wizard alive. A soft cough stole his attention from the blade. He turned his head slightly to see a nervous looking Susan looking down at him in his comfortable armchair.
"Harry? Are you alright?" she asked quietly. Harry waved a hand and two more arm chairs appeared in front of the fireplace, startling Susan.
"Have a seat, Susan. You too Daphne." He called out. Both girls glanced at each other quickly before sitting down in the offered chairs. Daphne frowned a little.
"I'm going to ask the obvious question again; are you alright?" she asked, trying not to sound as concerned as she was. Harry smiled a little before returning his attention to the sword in his hand.
"I'm perfectly fine Daphne... I just needed some space to try and figure somethings out." He brought up his hand to pet Selena's head that was resting on Harry's shoulder, "And Selena here has been a great help in that endeavor."
" You just needed someone to bring you out of that self-blaming phase yet again Harry, though I do admit, it has been decades since you last acted like this." Selena teased.
" I know Selena, I know. It is just that I seem to still cause harm to the people closest to me, even with the advantage of knowledge that I have, but as you rightly pointed out, it is not my decision to make if I should push them away or not, they should be able to make that decision for themselves." Harry replied, but was looking at the girls sitting in front of him with soft, hopefully, and determined gaze.
Before he sighed and looked down before mumbling, "Their decision to make." To this Selena just raised her head and rubbed it against Harry's cheek to offer what silent comfort she could, knowing that her Master was now thinking logically and making the right decision.
"Harry, I am sorry to interrupt and we can leave if you need some more time to yourself. I know we are in a relationship, but that does not mean each of us do not need time to ourselves." Daphne said softly, placing her hand on Harry's hand which was holding the sword of Godric Gryffindor.
Harry sighed once more before looking up to see the two girls and met their understanding eyes. And looked between both of them
"No need Daphne, no need to leave. I have done what I came here to do." Harry replied before offering a soft smile and getting a smile in return.
"If you do not mind me asking then, what happened? Neville said he has not seen you since yesterday and you were furious when you walked out of the Ravenclaw common room last night after Tori and Luna had a talk with you." Daphne questioned gently, while Susan brought her chair besides Harry and lopped her arm and grabbed hold of Harry's arm offering her support in case needed.
Harry just raised his eyebrow and a small smirk played on his face. "Why? Tori did not tell you?" knowing full well that Astoria would never betray his trust, not even for her sister.
Daphne just rolled her eyes, but a soft smile played on her face as the tension dissipated. "You know full well mister that she would never tell me anything if you have asked her not to."
"You mean to tell me that your younger blood sister would listen to me before her elder sister?" Harry replied jokingly.
Daphne just stared at him deadpanned, while Susan's hold on Harry tightened, showing that it went from 'I am here for you' to 'Behave.'
Harry laughed and raised his arms into the air. "Ok ok, I give."
"But before I tell you anything, just promise me that you would not take any drastic actions. I would like to deal with this problem myself." Harry said this while his eyes shinned brightly for a second, letting the girls know he was serious.
After getting nods of approval from both the girls Harry continued.
"Did you know Luna was given a detention by the bitch that teaches us Defense?" Harry asked and growled a bit when describing Umbridge. And while Susan would have been the first to reprimand Harry for his language she did not, because she whole heartedly agreed with that term. Both the girls knew why Luna was given the detention and their jaws tightened, only giving a stiff nod in response.
"Well, it turns out her detention assignment was writing line, a hundred of them." Harry said, which did confuse the girls. Both thinking the same thing. ' What was so bad in that? A hundred lines is not so bad.'
That was what they thought before Harry continued and the atmosphere got cold, but this time not because of Harry.
"With a Blood Quill" Harry growled out.
Hearing this 2 things happened, Susan's hold on his arm tightened further while her blood ran cold, a gasp leaving her mouth and her other hand covering her mouth, looking wide eyed at Harry.
While the other thing that happened was that Daphne's magic started going haywire, anger clearly seen in her eyes, hand gripping the armrests of the chair she was sitting on as her knuckles turned white. Fury etched on her face.
"I will see her in Azkaban for this, AFTER I have had my way with her." Daphne said coldly, a smile on her face that made Susan and Harry shiver.
"No, not yet." Harry said firmly.
This made Daphne's sharp eyes snap towards Harry, and Susan's confused ones aswell.
Harry smiled and that is all that Daphne needed before understanding filled her eyes and she started chuckling. But that only served to confuse Susan more.
"But Harry! I can have auntie come in and arrest that Hag right in front of everyone, publicly for using an illegal object." Susan exclaimed, still not understanding why Daphne was laughing and Harry was smiling.
"Susan, it's safe to say that Harry is bringing out his Slytherin side, and at just the appropriate time." Daphne said.
"Would you both just tell me what you are thinking?!" Susan shouted out, glaring at both Daphne and Harry. She was already angry as her friend had been tortured by a professor and her Boyfriend and her closest friend were now playing riddles.
"You do know that the Minister is Fudge right? And he would do all in his power to keep Umbridge out of Azkaban, afterall that woman might have a lot of dirt on him. So even if he might not be able to stop the charges from being filed, he could and will try his best to keep the woman out of Azkaban; Maybe in the Ministry cells, maybe House arrest, maybe probation, or maybe even just a fine." Harry explained.
"Afterall, Luna is not from a prominent Pureblood family, and she and her father are known to be more… eccentric by the Wizarding population. So, it would be very easy for someone like the Minister to reduce the sentence to a slight slap on the wrist." Daphne continued.
Understanding dawned on Susan's face as she saw where this was going, before even she gained an evil smirk and announced loudly.
"I like it!"
This caused the others present there to descend into laughter and after controlling themselves, Harry just placed a light kiss on her cheek, but Daphne did notice that Harry had made a hesitant attempt to kiss Susan on the lips. Which caused Daphne to start thinking again.
"Harry" Daphne called out, getting her man's attention.
"Based on how fast Umbridge was seen leaving the grounds of the castle and running, and the fact that the DADA classes for the day were proxied, I am guessing you have already started making that woman's life a living hell." Daphne said, waiting for Harry to nod.
After getting the nod in return she continued. "Though that still does not explain what you are doing here. You are obviously not planning the next 'incident' otherwise you would have come to me first thing, nor are you practicing and letting out your frustrations based on the fact that I do not see any destroyed training dummies around. So, what is it?" Daphne asked, "Are you seriously alright?" the concern in her voice clearly audible for all to hear.
This brought Harry out of the jovial mood that he was in, his face turning serious.
Harry sighed before asking Susan to sit in front of him, besides Daphne so he could look them both in the eyes before conveying what he needed to convey.
Once Susan took her seat besides Daphne, Harry started "You know how we talked about each of us having secrets? How for this relationship to work there needs to be no life changing secrets between us? How you both agreed to give me as much time as I needed to come to terms with them and be ready to share it with the both of you?" Harry asked while the girls nodded in return, not wanting to interrupt Harry.
"Well, I think I am ready." Harry said in a determined voice.
"Harry, I know you have been through a lot only from what you have already shared with us, and I know there are somethings you are keeping a secret and while we would like to know them just to understand you better and help you whenever needed, this decision needs to be yours. You need not be compelled to do so because we are forcing you to." Susan said, taking Harry's hand in hers and gently rubbing her other hand on the back of Harry's hand, while Daphne nodded in agreement with what Susan said.
Harry smiled at this.
' I just keep loving them more every minute I spend with them. I just hope…'
"I know Susan, and I lo… appreciate and respect you both all the more for it." Harry smiled, which widen when he saw both of his girlfriends start blushing after they caught on to what he almost said out loud.
"But I think it is time. You both have healed me of my past scars in these last few months alone, more than a decade of solitude could ever do, you both have given me a reason to fight on, you both have given me the courage to fight on, you both have given me space, understanding, your trust, and you both have given me what I desired since I was born… love." Harry said gently looking at both with so much love that even the girls could not help the tears that started welling up in their eyes.
"And now I feel the time has come for me to come clean, so that you could make the decision that is right for you." Harry said, stalling whatever Susan was going to say by raising his hand with a smile.
"Maybe I should have told you earlier, but I was afraid you both would not believe me, or that I would scare you off. I thought that if we became close enough, then maybe you would have an easier time accepting everything I have to tell you. Please believe me when I say I never wanted to deceive you both, I just did not see how I had any other choice. I always planned to tell you everything as soon as I thought you both were ready, and I think you are ready now." Harry said, confusing both the girls, though they did not interrupt him which he was most grateful for.
"And what I have to say is so unreal that even I would have trouble believing it and even though I know you trust me, let me take an oath for my own satisfaction. Please." Harry said and before either of the girls could interrupt, he continued with the oath.
"I, Lord Harry James Potter Black, do hereby swear on my magic and life, whatever I say or any memories I show to Daphne Evelyn Greengrass and Susan Amelia Bones are unaltered and true to the best of my knowledge, this oath shall come into effect whenever all three of us are in the Chamber of Secrets and shall stay in effect until such a time that my familar Selena has deemed my retelling of my life complete. So, mote it be." Harry declared, when suddenly a wave of magic rippled out signifying that the oath was complete.
"Harry, you dumb piece of shite!" Daphne exclaimed, before standing up and glaring down at her boyfriend. Being a Slytherin she knew what repercussions this could have. If her boyfriend even slightly tried to alter the truth when sharing whatever he wanted to share, he could risk losing his magic and life. And while she would not be happy with him lying to her, she would much prefer it over him dying.
Harry seeing her anger just got up and encircled his arms around her in a comforting embrace, before pulling Susan into the same embrace and softly explaining his actions. "I know this puts my life at risk which you both are not ok with. But I see no other way of making you believe what I said will be the truth."
Susan mumbled into his shoulder "We would have believed you Harry, we trust you with our life. Do you think so little of us?" sounding a bit hurt, which was understandable, and for which Harry was quick to soothe the both of them by rubbing his hand on their backs.
"I know Susie, I know. But I had to do it for my own satisfaction, I needed the push to make sure I tell you everything and everything truthfully, because as much as I may seem depressed, I love the way my life is going and I would definitely would not like to die." Harry said with a chuckle, earning a slap on the back of his head from Susan and a weak chuckle from Daphne, Susan not being in a mood for jokes.
"Ok, so enough melodrama, let us start. Selena, could you please also join the girls?" Harry asked out to his familiar.
Selena just nodded her head before wrapping herself around Daphne's arm and resting her head on the armrest of the chair Daphne was sitting on.
Once both the girls were on their seat and both petting Selena on her head, Harry took his own seat before taking a deep breath and continuing.
"I am …"

AN
So, that was the chapter.
Consequences
Harry Angry
A POV of his friends
Destroyed ROR
And now what does Harry have to say
Nanu, here is the cliffhanger that you wanted
Also I know that the oath still might have too many loopholes letting Harry dies but that's the best I could come up with in a short while. Mainly I made it so big because I have seen many a times authors have made Harry make a general oath of the nature and then he literally can not lie or deceive them till he lives or he dies, and that is just stupid on Harry's part. One could argue that same might happen in the oath Harry took in this chapter, but that's the best I could come up with in this short time.

Next up
Nope, no next ups this time. It ended with a cliffhanger for god's sake, I am not going to say what is next obviously.
