At once a clamour of shouting and questioning erupted, with the undertone of a people talking rapidly to one another. However, one piercing shriek could be heard over all the over shouts across the Great Hall, which quietened to see who or what it was.
The squeal belonged to one Ginny Weasley. She had stood up and was shouting down the aisle, standing opposite to Harry and Daphne, who were also standing in the aisle, due to when they had run to slam the book shut. Harry had an arm round Daphne's waist, and she leant into his side.
"NO!" Ginny screamed, "THIS RELATIONSHIP CANNOT CONTINUE! HARRY IS MINE!"
Quiet titters and sniggers started to break out, which were quickly smothered. Ginny however was oblivious.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, MARCHING IN AND STEALING WHAT IS RIGHTFULLLY MINE! HARRY IS MINE!" She shrieked hysterically, her face turning a vivid shade of red.
"She's gonna blow" Harry whispered in a southern accent into Daphne ear, and Daphne tried to suppress a huge laugh, managing to control it to a small snort.
"Harry and I are soul mates. You hear? SOUL MATES!" she yelled at them.
The laughs in the hall were getting worse, and Harry and Daphne fought for control.
"And I suppose you've got the wedding planned and all have you?" Daphne sniggered rhetorically. Ron and Hermione were biting their lips.
"Yes actually. I have" Ginny announced.
People stared, laughs forgotten.
"It's going to take place in mid – July at The Burrow and the colour scheme will be white and yellow. My bridesmaids will be Luna and Hermione, though Hermione will be eradicated from this position if she keeps supporting her. There will be flowers, bows and ribbons everywhere, and our whole school year, excluding you, obviously,will attend, as well as the rest of the wizarding world. The press will also be there to fight to take the first picture of the new Mrs Potter. Then we will have our wedding reception, at The Burrow and then we will go around the world for our honeymoon, which you insist on paying for because you love me so much…."
"So do I get a say in any of this, or should I just let you carry on?" Harry asked sarcastically.
This was too much for Daphne, and she bent double, laughing hysterically, Harry's arm holding her upright. She was shortly joined by Harry, and they leant on each other, trying to keep in a standing position. The whole hall was laughing to at the sheer insanity of the girl. Even Mr and Mrs Weasley looked amused. Ginny just stood there confused.
"What's funny?" she said demandingly. She was ignored.
"I said, WHATS FUNNY" she screeched, stamping her foot. This just brought more laughter. Ginny screamed in frustration and ran past them and out of the hall.
After a few seconds, the hall calmed down, and Harry and Daphne managed to get upright. Harry leant down to kiss her, but stopped abruptly by Daphne's quiet murmur.
"You do know my parents are here don't you," she snickered at him. Harry grew white before sitting them back on the bench, with her on his lap.
"So who's next on the screaming parade?" Daphne laughed. Harry suddenly remembered someone he needed to see. Carefully he lifted Daphne from his lap and set her on the bench. She looked at him curiously, but he just smirked. Walking into the aisle, he called one word.
"Dobby!"
At once a little house elf appeared by the entrance, wearing a white pillowcase.
"Harry Potter sir!" he squealed, before bounding down the aisle. Harry grimaced at the nickname but crouched down and opened his arms, just in time for the little elf to collide into him and wrap his little arms round Harry. The rest of the hall stared in shock, especially the Purebloods.
"Hey Dobby, I just wanted to say thank you for saving us. It was very brave of you," Harry told the little creature as they broke apart. Dobby's huge eyes glistened.
"It was Dobby's pleasure sir," he sniffled.
"I've got someone for you to meet," Harry said as he led him over to Daphne.
"Dobby, this is Daphne Greengrass. Daphne, this is Dobby. She's my girlfriend." He boasted proudly at the end.
Daphne cautiously made to shake Dobby's hand, but was shocked when she found Dobby's little arms round her neck, pulling her into an awkward hug.
"You are Harry Potter Sir's Miss Greengrass. Dobby has heard a lot about Miss Greengrass. Harry Potter sir tells Dobby about his Miss Greengrass all the time," Harry blushed, and Daphne chuckled.
"It's very nice to meet you Dobby," she told him sincerely, and Dobby beamed, before sitting next to Daphne on the bench. He and Harry had had a discussion about this, and Dobby was finally used to doing what he wanted. The Purebloods looked scandalised, especially the Malfoys.
"Hang on, I just need to see someone else," Harry told Daphne, before bringing his fingers to his lips and making an owl call. Not even 10 seconds had gone by before a beautiful snowy owl came swooping in. Girls around the hall sighed in jealously. Harry smiled and held his arm out for her, but Hedwig ignored it, and started attack his head, swiping her claws and nipping with her beak.
"Hedwig! Hedwig! OK, OK I'm sorry for leaving you behind, but I had to. Owwww! Hedwig cut it out will you! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have left you" he shouted out. Hedwig, seemingly satisfied, flew to his awaiting arm, before rubbing her head on his.
"Yeah, I missed you too," he laughed. He turned back to the rest of the hall, who were staring at him and Hedwig incredulously.
"She's pretty incredible isn't she?" he beamed.
"Bloody hell Harry. That is one amazing owl!" Charlie Weasley breathed.
"Yeah, with one amazing personality and ego," Harry quipped, and Hedwig shot a glare. Everyone laughed. "Here Hedwig, meet Daphne. She's my girlfriend," he grinned. He turned to Daphne, "Hedwig was my first ever friend," Hedwig stared at Daphne, before swooping to sit on Daphne's shoulder.
"She approves of you," he laughed jokingly. "That's a relief." He motioned to Daphne to stand so he could sit back down, which she did, and they adopted their original position. Hedwig flew from Daphne's shoulder, to perch on one of the windowsills.
The door's swung open, and Ginny marched back in, and flounced to her seat, before flinging herself down. Daphne and some of the other students tittered.
Ron took a deep breath and looked at his best mate.
"Harry," he said quietly. Harry turned to look at Ron and Hermione, who was looking at him from Ron's lap. "Why did you keep it from Mione and me?"
"I'm sorry guys, I really am. Truly. I would have told you, but you can't deny, you are both rather prejudiced against Slytherins, especially you Ron," Harry explained softly.
"Yeah, well, I can't deny that really. And once again I'm sorry for my outburst to you Daphne. But I'm going to be more open minded now. I won't let my prejudice ruin our trust and friendship ever again," Ron vowed.
"Who are you and what have you done with Ron Weasley?" Harry laughed, joined by Ron and Hermione. He gave Ron an awkward one armed man hug, which was rather difficult because of the girl's positions, and Hermione gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"We wish you the best," Hermione smiled, addressing both Harry and Daphne.
"So do I," piped up Neville. They both smiled at him.
"I wish you the best as well," Cho Chang said quietly, much to the anger of her best friend Marietta Edgecombe, who had been trying to get Harry and Cho back together since fifth year.
"Err, well thanks Cho," Harry replied uncertainly. A new voice called out.
"Daphne, what's your Quiddich team," hollered Oliver Wood. Harry suppressed a laugh.
"Puddlemore United," she replied smiling at the burly Quiddich player. Oliver's eyes lit up.
"I like her Harry," he beamed. The old Quiddich team laughed.
"Our turn!" squealed Angelina, and Katie and Alicia nodded.
"You two look so cute together!" Katie burst out.
"Thanks?" Harry blushed.
"Just don't hurt our little nephew/son, gettit?" Alicia demanded. Daphne looked confused but nodded, and smiled at the girl.
"I would never do such a thing. I love him too much," she admitted, looking into his eyes. The three girls squealed again.
"Then you have our approval, as Harry's honorary aunties and mum," Angelina laughed. Harry blushed again.
"Honorary aunties? I didn't think you were that close to Harry, no offence. And Mum?," she asked curiously.
"Well, the old Quiddich team, we were quite close, and we kind of made a family out of it. Oliver was the Dad, and Katie was the Mum, because their dating. Angelina and Alicia were Katie's sisters, and Fred, George and I were the kids… but it's a bit awkward now, and will probably have to be changed since Fred's going out with Angelina and George is going out with Alicia," Harry explained blushing hard. Some girls cooed at the them. That was one of the cutest things they'd ever heard. The Slytherins just rolled their eyes. How pathetic.
"Yeah, otherwise I'd be going out with Aunty Angie," Fred laughed.
Daphne jokingly awwed at Harry. "So, I've got the parent approval?" she snickered at him, and he groaned and dropped his head to her shoulder at the mention of parent approval. The awwwwing and laughing soon calmed down, and Harry looked up and blanched. Daphne's parents were striding down the aisle.
So I hope you liked it. I'll try to write and get Part 2 up soon, but I have loads of Christmas homework so can't promise anything soon unfortunately. If I don't get the next part up before, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Bye x
