A/N: Sorry this is so short, I own nothing btw. Thank you to my beta disturbinglyprofound!
After two hours of looking through the folders, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," Harry called.
With that, the door opened and he was immediately attacked by two girls who had flung themselves at him. The only reason the folders didn't scatter all over the floor was because Severus caught them just in time.
"Hi 'Mione, Daph," Harry addressed the two girls with a smile. "I almost forgot you were coming today. Glad you're here, though." And he hugged his self-proclaimed big sister and his girlfriend once again.
"Hello, Harry, it's good to see you again," said a voice just inside the door. When he turned to see who had spoken, he saw that both Daphne and Hermione's parents were there, along with Daphne's younger sister and Tracy, her best friend.
"I'm so glad you could all come, I was hoping to get something together for us to do, but I had a meeting this morning and, well, this was the result." Harry said, gesturing to all the folders. "If you want, we could go into town and look at the shops." Harry suggested, getting a excited response from the girls, who started to drag him out the door all talking at once.
"He is going to have a hard time keeping up with all the girls." said Dan Granger – Hermione's father – to Severus as he helped pile up the folders again.
"Yes, he may never come back to us the same," Severus agreed as the adults followed the group of four very excited girls dragging along the new Lord of Azkaban to go shopping; what the people would think if they could see him now.
After getting into carriages they went into the main part of town. Once there the girls just went crazy dragging Harry along with them as they looked at clothing, purses, jewellery and shoes – lots and lots of shoes. The girls were in pure bliss, with Harry paying for everything since he was the group's billionaire and host and therefore it was his responsibility, or so the girls had told him in the carriage. So he carried all their bags, which, despite having a number of feather-light charms and reducing charms on them, still weighed about as much as the average elephant. Just as Harry thought that he could take no more, they passed by a store where you could paint your own pottery.
"Oh, Harry, we just have to go in here and paint something!" exclaimed his girlfriend Daphne.
"Oh yes that's a perfect idea Daph!" said Tracy.
So they all went into the store and picked out pieces of pottery to paint.
Harry got a figure of a wizard who looked remarkably like himself, which the girls had forced him to paint; Hermione got two bookends that had cats in the end. Tracy got a stand to hold jewellery on that looked like a woman in a dress, while Daphne got a figurine of a snake on a rock (they had been her favourite animal since she was five, and begged for one with no avail since she was six), her sister Astoria got a unicorn to paint, and the adults all got square plates.
They all spent the next few hours talking and catching up, while painting their pieces. Harry, much to everyone's amusement, painted the piece to look just like him; Harry had almost left out the scar, but Daphne flicked a small amount of red paint onto the forehead when Harry got up to refill his paints.
Hermione made the frames a burnt gold colour with the cats looking like her own Crookshanks. Tracy had given the girl a long green dress with the arms and neck where the jewellery would go swirls of black and silver. Daphne made her snake a brilliant royal blue with a purple belly and stripe down the back and gave it emerald green eyes that matched Harry's perfectly. Astoria made a cream unicorn with pale green hair.
The adults all just did their plated in plain colors and used stamps and stencils to add designs.
When they were done they gave their pieces, which had their initials on the bottom, to the girl at the counter and asked if they could just deliver them to the castle when they were ready.
"What would you like to do next?" Harry asked Daphne and Hermione.
"Can we get some coffee anywhere?" Daphne asked.
Harry looked back at Sev, utterly lost. The Lord's advisor sighed and said, "Yes, there is a cafe just up the street."
They all walked up the street to a fancy cafe and lined up at the counter, but when someone turned around and saw Harry, the line moved, so they were all able to go in front.
"No, it's fine really; we're still looking at the menu," said Harry, a bit embarrassed from the attention.
When the people looked like they wouldn't listen, Severus gave them all a death glare and they quickly moved back into a line. When it was finally their turn Severus ordered for them all.
"We will have one non-fat Vanilla Bean Frappuccino with no whipped cream, one Caramel Frappuccino with no whipped cream, one Green Tea Crème Frappuccino, one Caramel Macchiato, and Harry, what did you want?" Severus turned to Harry, who just looked confused.
"I don't know. I've never heard of half of this menu before," he whispered to Severus, who nodded.
"Make that two Caramel Macchiatos, all medium. As well, add five espressos, please, to go."
The barista smiled politely and said, "Coming up right away, sir, that will be two Galleons and seventeen Sickles."
Severus handed her four Galleons and told her to keep the change, knowing that she was undercharging them because Harry was there. After they received their drinks – quickly, of course – they returned to the carriages and set off for the castle where Hermione, being the bookworm she was, demanded Harry show her the library, and Daphne the kitchen, where she could bake, one of her favourite hobbies.
Eventually, the teenagers were ordered to bed by their respective guardians, and to Harry's relief, they all obeyed. To himself, he wondered how on earth he would survive the next two weeks with these girls.
A/N: thank you to my reviewers.
Nightshade's sydneylover150- Harry is around 16/17 years old.
And thank you to all who have said how much they like this. I hope to get update my other two stories soon, one of which I'm rewriting. Hope to have them up soon but I'm really busy with exams for now but I'm hoping that all stories including this one will be updated by mid-February. If you have any ideas on what they could do next feel encouraged to review with them.
