Chapter 7
As Daphne and Harry enter the dinning room they see that only the Weasley family and Granger are seated at the table. discussing about summer plans and what the next year will bring. Without even the hint of acknowledgement of the red headed family Harry sits down with Daphne on his right side. The both of them start to talk in whispers. While Harry takes her left hand under the table and begins to play with her fingers, Daphne softly giggles at his restlessness While Harry softly smile at her.
Ginny sees this and begins to seethe at the interaction between the Slytherin bitch on Harry's right and her Harry.
'That should be me, I'm the only that's destined to be the future lady potter not that blonde slut.'
Before Ginny can shout at Daphne to get away from her man the doors open and the two remaining Marauders with the Weasley twins beside them enter the dinning room. All four are sporting the very same mischievous grin as they sit at the table. the twins sit across from harry and Daphne while Remus sits on Daphne's other side with Sirius across from him.
Harry looks to his father's two best friend's then too the twin's then back to Sirius and Remus he then raises an eyebrow, but if looked closely his eye where dancing with mischief.
"I take it the two on them passed your little initiation and have impressed you two."
The twins nod their heads excitedly and both Remus and Sirius have matching smiles of pride stretching across their faces. They would finally be able to pass on the legacy of the marauders even if it's only for a single year for now.
"I see well then gentleman welcome to the start of what promises to be a very interesting year."
Finally releasing Daphne's hand which hasn't gone unnoticed by both adults Harry leans on the table then covers his left eye with right hand.
"The son of prongs but you can call me tails got it mesmerized."
Their quiet conversation is soon interrupted by a shout from Ron Weasley as Ginny, Hermione and himself draw their wands on the two new quests who have just entered the dinning room.
Narcissa Black (formally Malfoy) entered the dinning room of her childhood home with her son at her side. She notices the reaction from the three children then looks over to see her cousin and his friend trying to hold back their laughter. With a small smirk she lifts a perfectly manicured eyebrow in confusion and she then turns to her son and drawls out.
"Friends of yours little dragon."
Draco scoffs at that thought before taking notice of the ice queen of Slytherin herself sitting beside someone he has considered a brother for the last few years. Both are looking at him trying to hold back an outburst of laughter at the thought of Draco being friends with any Griffindors. Harry then stands up and walks over to them both.
"Lady Malfoy or is it now Black once again, welcome to our home."
He then takes Narcissa's hand and the ghost of his lips brush the top of her hand.
"I believe I speak for the rest of the family and myself that our have our most sincere condolences on your loss, so please don't hesitate to ask us for anything."
A sad smile crosses the features of Narcissa's face as Draco shows no emotion as a proper pure blood, but if looked closely his eyes were dancing with a hidden joy to be free from the influence of his bigoted father.
"Now you two must be hungry so please sit, you must join us for dinner."
Draco smiles at the looks he is getting from the other end of the table. To his amazement none of them have said anything about him and his mother joining for dinner.
"Are you sure your other guests look most unhappy at the thought of us having dinner with you."
Harry waves off his comment while he escorts Narcissa to a seat at the table.
"No worries they can piss and moan till the end of days and it will still go unheard ."
Harry then moves to pull out a chair for the former lady Malfoy. He then goes back to sit beside Daphne kissing her cheek as he sits down.
The Weasley's and Hermione are silent for the whole exchange before Ron bursts and points at Draco and his mother and exclaims.
"You let even more slimy snakes and Death eaters into this house, they will kill us in our sleep or give our location the you-know-who."
Harry looks towards the red faced pig a little irritated that this cretin is interrupting the beginnings of the first family meal in years and asks.
"I actually don't know who, do you mean Voldemort?"
The Weasley's, Hermione, and Draco all Flinch at the name. Harry sighs and gives a look of disgust before repeating the name four more times with the same reactions from all but Draco. The Banshee that is Mrs. Weasley even faints and both Harry and Draco snort is disgust at that.
"It's a name, why fear it when most of you where ether to young or not even born yet." Harry then stares at Hermione. "Or even knew existed at all until four yours ago, you all sicken me fearing something that was made up what a joke."
Before anyone can ask what he means Dinner appears in front of everyone. Dinner goes silently besides the hateful glares from Ron and Hermione towards Draco and in Ron's case both Draco and Harry all the while he is shoving food in his mouth like it's his last meal. the adults of the Black family sees this in the corner of their eyes and give a look of disgust, this will be the last meal that the red headed pig will be having anywhere besides the servant quarters. Their is also the jealous scowl from Ginny towards Daphne as she and Harry playfully feed each other but it goes unnoticed to the rest of the occupants.
Half way through dinner Sirius decides to tempt his fate as it were.
"So Harry when are you going to take this lovely and beautiful angel on your first date, or is it you both just cant keep your hands off each other to be able to go out in public."
Sirius asks with as much innocence as he can muster whole waggling his eyebrows at the couple in question.
Daphne actually blushes and hides her face in Harry's neck. While Harry scowls at the old mutt before responding.
"Don't be jealous mutt, I'm sure you will find someone."
Harry pauses for a second in thought before continuing.
"Eventually."
Sirius looks affronted then responding with mock sorrow.
"When did the little fox get so vicious. Prongs, Lilly you must be rolling in your graves at how hurtful your son is to his awesome godfather."
Harry just rolls his eyes at his godfather's antics. Before anyone could give a retort a clearing of the throat is heard in the entrance way of the dinning hall. there standing at the doorway is Nymphadora Tonks, Arthur Weasley, his two oldest sons Bill Weasley a curse breaker for gringots and Charlie Weasley who works at a dragon preserve in Romania. Harry is the first to respond with a cheeky smile.
"Evening Nymphea I see you brought some more helpers."
Tonks eye twitches and her hair darkens a few shades at the name, but replies none the less.
"Wotcher little tails, I suppose so but they kinda followed me home...Think the old mutt would let me keep them."
As Sirius begins to grumble about not being that old and the disrespect of kids these days Tonks moves to take a seat beside Remus. Dobby then pops in with another three plates of food for the new arrivals.
Hermione gives a pointed look at the entire Black family before looking over at Harry with a pleading look.
"How can you let them enslave these poor creatures, I read about your exploits you've helped free the enslaved."
Draco sneers at the bookworm but before he can comment Harry responds.
"Ah yes those lovely stories...all lies and they paid for it."
Hermione looks slandered before yelling.
"They said that it was the true stories of your adventures, and what do you mean they paid for it."
"Simple really I shut them down by forcing them with legal action to pay me a substantial amount of money. In other words i bankrupted them."
Looking at Hermione for another few seconds with a cold look He then continues.
"Although I'm disappointed that there are a few more books still out there."
Hermione looks at Harry horrified that he would get an entire publishing company shut down for writing a few books about him she then sees a vicious smiles on his features.
"And to answer your other question, it's rather simple try doing your research on house elf bonding's before you start preaching. After all its all your good at."
It's after this comment that Ron stands up his face is as red as his hair and points at Harry.
"That wasn't called for Hermione is the brightest witch of our time and you are dark wizard, I bet we could kick your ass and your snake whore after all we go to the greatest school in the magical world."
Harry's snorts in amusement at that comment but then his eyes begin to glow with unrestrained anger and power.
It is then that Bill's eyes widen before grabbing Ron and pushing him into a kneeling position with his forehead to the ground. This happens all within seconds of Ron opening his big mouth. Before any of the other Weasley's can say anything Bill speaks up.
"Please forgive my foolish little brother he spoke before he thought. So as heir Weasley I beg your forgiveness."
The next words out of bill's mouth are no more then a whisper but in the silence it echoed across the room.
"Beast hunter- Leviathan: Hadrian L-."
Harry's piercing glare stops him mid sentence as he looks at the two red heads kneeling on the floor. The youngest struggling to lift his head up in his oldest brothers death like grip, The rest of the room is as silent as a grave until Harry releases a sigh.
"Curse breaker- Weasley you know our code a price must be paid for his transgression and the insult to mine and my girlfriends honor,"
"I know but please I beg of you spare his life."
The frozen stare of the Potter-Black heir keeps all other occupants of the room from ether moving or speaking.
"Very well however he will be chained to kreacher as his underling for the remainder of your summer here."
"Thank you so much for sparing my brother's life, hunter."
Harry puts up a hand in a stopping gesture.
"I'm not finished furthermore you will acquire me the resources and supplies to help gain access into two tombs at a later date."
Bill looks into Harry's eyes and sees a fire of determination and an unbreakable resolve.
"Very well I accept those terms as the heir Weasley."
Bill then punches Ron in the side causing the red head to yelp in pain and hisses.
"Now apologize to the both of them for your words this instant."
As Ron rubs his side where Bill had punched him he mutters out a begrudging apology all the while glaring at the two of them. He is then released by his older brother and storms out followed by Ginny and Hermione.
The silence continues for a few more minutes before Molly Weasley shrieks at her oldest son.
"Why did you do that to my poor baby? He was defending his friend from the hurtful things of this ungrateful boy"
She sends a hateful glare towards Harry who proceeds to ignore her and keeps on eating. Through clenched teeth Bill replies.
"I just saved his life as well as kept us from being forcibly removed out of this house mother."
Mrs. Weasley opened her mouth to respond but Bill was faster and interrupted her before she could say anything else to piss off their hosts.
"Before you say anything else I will say this Harry over there could have had Ron executed ether right here or by taking him to Gringots. The best case scenario is he took Ron on his challenge and maybe just maybe he would leave Ron alive even if he just took his wand arm and his tongue. You have no idea what the title Beast hunter and Beast slayer means, Just remember this no one ever insults their honor it's a death sentence."
Harry smirks at this and gives Mrs. Weasley a hard look.
"Don forget you have been forcefully shoved into our laps because my godfather was an idiot when he was younger."
An indigent cry of "HEY!" comes from Sirius as the others remain silent. Harry then stands up stretching his arm into the air then holds his hand out for Daphne.
"Care to join me in the library with Draco we have much to discuss"
With a slight nod of her head she takes Harry's offered hand and allows him to help her up. They then begin to head towards the Black family library Draco following right behind them a few questions rolling in his head. AS they get to the library the three teens hear a shout behind them asking them to hold up. Turning towards the shout they see Hermione running towards them waving her arms in the air frantically.
"Well she got over that whole scene rather quickly."
Draco muses, Harry Just shrugs and with Daphne's left arm resting around his waist and his right hand lightly on her ass they walk into the library. Draco gives Hermione a mock salute before entering as well and shutting the door into the bushy haired girls face.
the three teens then sit around the fire place in the middle of the expansive room that is the Black archives. Draco becomes serious instantly but before the boy can speak Harry begins their conversation himself.
"Thank you Draco for what you did before your school's yule ball."
Draco actually blushes at Harry's comment and scratches the back of his head in embarrassment then mutters.
"You heard about that did you, how the hell did you hear about that?"
Both Daphne and Harry snicker at his reaction and Harry responds as if it's the most obvious answer in the world.
"Your mother and Sirius both wrote to me about that particular event, apparently took Sirius paying Dante's bar tab for the weekend plus a months worth of pizza so he didn't kill everyone involved."
Daphne goes white at the prospect of the obscene amount of money Sirius had to fork over but is confused about what the two boys are talking about so she asks.
"What are you boy's talking about? What happened before the yule ball that Dante almost went on a bloodbath?"
Draco once again scratches the back of his head.
"Um you remember when Nott couldn't take no for an answer?"
Daphne thought about it for a few seconds then realized what event the boys where talking about.
*flashback*
It was the beginning of November and the yule ball had been just announced. Already Daphne had been asked by a number of guys from all houses even one or two Griffindors had asked her. Needless to say she was incredibly annoyed mostly at the idiot boy who didn't even go to her school. As she headed towards the Slytherin dorms all she wanted to do was have a shower and finish her homework before going to bed.
Once she had entered the common room Daphne could already tell something was wrong. Almost no one was in the common room and the few that are, are working quietly in the back areas. Daphne ignores this and continues to walk towards her dorm room that is until she hears a whispered.
'petrificus totalias.'
She then falls to the ground as a boy with black hair and brown eyes approaches her with two older looking boys. Daphne speaks with a deadpanned tone.
"Hello Nott, lovely night."
"Greengrass you should feel honored I'm giving you the privilege of being my date for the yule ball!"
Exclaims Theodore Nott, Daphne just looks at him like he is an idiot.
"Ya not interested so you can go find another tramp."
Answers Daphne in the same deadpanned tone.
"Unfortunately for you I wasn't asking you don't have a choice. After all our father are already in discussions for your betrothal contract so we might as well get to know each other better."
Daphne's eyes widen for a split second then a memory that sounds like Harry passes through her mind.
'I will always be your sword and shield. I'll protect you from harm and kill those who seek to harm you.'
Daphne smiles at the thought had it already been four and a half years since she last saw the boy who had stolen her heart. Her thoughts where cut off by two grunts before both of Nott's henchman fell to the ground unconscious.
Nott squeaks out a girlish yelp as he is blasted towards a nearby wall. When he gets back his bearings and looks up he sees an angry Draco standing over him and glares at him in anger.
"Shes going to be mine Draco you already have one."
Draco just shakes his head pitying the poor delusional moron on the ground.
"Fool this is the only warning I can give you that girl is off limits to everyone."
Draco then lifts his leg putting his foot and pushing it into Nott's throat pinning him to the wall he whispers for only Nott to hear.
"Or come Heaven and Hell they will not save you from my brother's wrath."
Draco then releases the pressure from Nott's throat but before the boy can say anything otherwise Draco lifts his leg higher and drops his heel into the top of Nott's skull and with a whispered 'obliviate' he walks away.
*end flashback*
Daphne's eyes widen and her mouth hangs open in shock, Which causes both boy's to start snickering. Harry then lightly peck her on the check and lightly closes her mouth. Daphne shakes her head looking at Harry with a raised brow and asks.
"So Draco has been my secret guardian for how long now?"
Harry tilts his head in thought for a few seconds before shrugging.
"Since your second year I think."
Draco can only shrug before responding.
"Something like that, I'm not sure we met just before I started my second year."
Harry chuckles as he remembers his first meeting with the Malfoy heir then rubbing his chin.
"Ah yes I remember throwing you through the glass door cause you where acting like a pompous asshole."
Draco then begins to absently rub his left shoulder then grumbles.
"I already apologized for that so stop bring it up."
"Yes you did, then you wouldn't leave me alone till a taught you how to do that."
Draco then smiles at Harry in gratitude.
"Ya and I'm happy that you started to teach me a few thing. After all I have even more magic and a better understanding on how to control it then I would if you hadn't."
"Of course I helped you I know Daphne is damn powerful already but I still felt a lot better knowing someone had her back from the shadows just in case."
At Daphne's glare at being thought of as a princess that needs protecting, Harry gives her a kiss and lightly nips at her lower lip. He then whispers for only her to hear causing the girl to lightly shiver in pleasure.
"I know you are powerful, and the only one that will ever be able to stand at my side as an equal. My other half."
Harry then moves back to face both people in the room
"I just felt more secure with that arrangement but no need to worry anymore because I will be entering Hogwarts this year."
Then with a sadistic grin spreading across his features.
"Now Draco looks about to burst with questions then we will discuss our training for the next 2 months."
