Disclaimer. I do not own Harry Potter
On a bench in front of the english mististry building, a young and very in love couple could be found, sharing an ice cream without a care in the world.
Should anyone happen to hear their whispered words however, the picture would be completely ruined by their theme.
"I have decided, Seven, I will use a bomb to kill him"
"Explosives Master? Why?" Came the reply of lovestruck girlfriend.
"As you might have noticed after three days of non stop stalking, that damned auror is never alone, Hell, He even sleeps in an apartemnt surronded by a dozen other aurors. So we will make look a purely accidental death by staging a terrorist attack, where among the other unfortunate victims our own auror slash bodyguard will star!"
Just as he finished explaining his plan to his servant, Harry James Potter felt a summon tuggin at his mind, a summong he hadn't felt in over seven years, when he had just graduated Hogwarts and his remaining family had tryed to dissuade him from his choosen career.
"Well, I will be damned" was the only thing he could think of.
Potter Manor was very much unlike the one the Malfoy's called home. I could almost think that James did it on purpose.
It was almost as big, yes, but none of the extravagant and overly luxirious thing were present.
In their place the visitors could admire the beautifully kept garden that the road to the house proper was laid on.
"Rose, go answer the door!"
"Muum, I am busy, make Jim do it!"
"Rose, now!"
Seven and I could hear the argument inside. that had to be my thirteen years old cousin Rosalind Potter.
The door opened a fraction, "Who is it?"
"My name is Harry Potter, your father summoned me"
The door went all the way "Cousin Harry? It's been so long! Why didn't you visit?" A red haired missile came shooting at of it, impacting on my chest.
"Well, you know, I had things to do, people to see, I just Hadn't the time!"
"In seven years?"
"Yes" Was my deadpanned reply.
"Come on in" She said as she finally relesed me "Mum will be happy to see you"
"I wouldn't be so sure" I mumbled, unheard by her.
Contrary to my expectations, Lily was in fact happy to see me, and like her daughter, she hugged me, after kissing both my cheecks a few times.
" How have you been? You never even came to drink a cup of tee with us! Well, never mind now, you are here and that's what counts.
"James is waiting for you in the living room, so go greet him while I make a cup of tea for you and your friend.
By the way, I am Lily, Harry's aunt, a plesure to meet you!"
After that she took off, after making sure that Rose would get her brother to get down.
James was indeed waiting for me.
"It's been long Harry" It would have been even longer had you not summoned me.
"Sit down, no need for formalities, and if you could make your... 'friend' take a normal seat too you would make me a favour. I don't think Lily needs to know about... that"
Slaves were another open secret in the wizarding world, and while all pureblodd at least knew of them, the rest of the population tought it was a since long forgotten practice.
There was apparently no reason to give muggleborns other things to find barbaric and to denouce pubblicy.
That is, by the way, the reason people like Lucius Malfoy or even Voldemort(I suspect) Hated 'mudbloods' so much: they did have no respect at all for the centuries old traditions of the wizarding world.
They already got the ministry to ban the Samain animal sacrifice, and some of the more obscure rituals done on babies after birth. This didn't dether the old families at all, but simply augmented the hate for all thing muggle born from fear during the Witch burnings.
And so Seven got to drink tea like any other person, on her very own chair.
I only hope this didn't give her strange ideas.
