THIS EXPLAINS HOW DAPHNE AND HARRY MET*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*

A.N. This was requested by a reviewer :) Hope you like it! I am going to be uploading the fourth chapter later in the day!

Voldemort let out a shriek of horror as his body burned from his own killing spell. The dark lord let out his last wail and collapsed on the floor, lifeless. Harry stood on the dirt floor, frozen. Multiple emotions were swarming through his head at once. He felt shocked by the abrupt death of a formidable enemy. He felt an explosion of sadness for all the friends who had perished. And he felt relieved that his final task has been done.

It was finally over.

Voldemort was dead.

Suddenly, a shrill cry broke Harry from his frozen state.

"STUPEFY!"

A bright beam of light raced into Harry's direction. Harry's instincts kicked in instantly.

"Protego!" He cried. The beam of light bounced off his shield and rebounded towards the sky. Harry's eyes narrowed as he began to make out who attacked him through all the dust and debris. He spotted a flash of straight blond hair. Then dust drifted away completely.

It was Daphne Greengrass.

Harry's fist clenched. The war was already over, Voldemort was dead. Why would she attack me? Daphne looked fearful when she realized her spell was countered. Daphne pointed her wand at Harry. Harry rose his as well. They both shouted a spell simultaneously.

"Expelli-"

"NO!"

A blast of blinding light illuminated the area. Harry blocked his eyes with arm. Confusion hit him like a brick. Did Daphne cast a blinding spell? Then slowly the light faded to reveal..

Draco Malfoy.

Draco stood between Daphne and Harry with his wand pointed to the sky. He was the one who cast the spell. Daphne looked as shocked as Harry.

"Draco what are you doing?" She hissed. Draco frowned at her and lowered his wand. "There's no use fighting now that the war's over." He said. Daphne began to protest. "But he's Harry Potter! The Dark Lord-"

"The Dark Lord is dead."

Daphne closed her mouth and nodded. She walked up to Harry. Immediately Harry felt his grip on his wand tighten. Was Daphne going to attack him again? Daphne seemed to notice. She held up both of her hands and let her wand drop to the ground.

"Potter, I'm not going to cast a spell on you again," she sighed. "I just want to apologize." Harry nodded a little suspiciously. Slytherin's aren't known for apology.

"I'm sorry, I-" She paused. "I didn't know that the Dark Lord already fell. I thought the war was still going on." She looked up at Harry. "So I'm really sorry."

Sensing that her apology was sincere, Harry gave a faint smile. "It's alright."

Daphne held her hand out for a handshake. "Can we start over?" She said with a pleading smile. Harry paused for a second. He never realized how beautiful Daphne's eyes were until now. Her eyes were so- Harry mentally slapped himself. Harry what are you doing? She's Slytherin! The other side of his brain disagreed. Don't listen to him, Harry. She's beautiful and you know it. Who cares if she's Slytherin!

"Shut up!" Harry cried out-loud.

Daphne looked hurt. "What?"

"Nothing." Harry said quickly. "I wasn't talking about you."

Then he took her hand and shook it. "Lets start over." Daphne smiled. "Okay, Harry."

Harry flinched. "You just said my-"

"Harry? Harry!" A voice shouted.

Harry let go of her hand. "Gotta go." Then he paused and faced Draco and Daphne. "Thanks." He said. Daphne blushed. Draco shrugged. "Whatever." He said.

Then Harry headed towards the voice. He looked back for one second. Draco was already walking away the opposite direction, but Daphne still stood in the same spot. She saw him and waved.

Harry smiled, waved back, turned, and walked.
