Alright new chapter early for one thing I have to say I was actually thinking of holding off on this chapter till next week just cause of how disappointed i was with some of the reviews and was hoping for a simple question. It almost seemed to me that no actually read the chapter cause no asked the important question of 'Wait didn't they say that the Dursley's don't live there anymore?' i was however happy with Lauren saint and penny is wise for their comment cause they pretty much got it. also their is a angst moment near the end of this chapter but it is needed. But beside that thanks also to everyone who said that they enjoyed the chapter and the comments of violence to the Dursley did make me laugh so I decide to repay that.

Disclaimer: all harry potter related stuff in this is owned by J.K. Rowling not me if i did i would be traveling around the world with no worries at all

Chapter 17

Harry groaned as he began to regain consciousness because of the loud a upset yell.

"Fuck that the brat is getting the worst beat down ever for this shit!"

As Harry gets even closer to consciousness he hears a bell like female laugh right beside him.

"Oh please dear you know that big bad wolf act of yours doesn't fool me."

Harry inwardly smiles when he recognizes the females voice but tries to keep his eyes closed because he feels like his head is swimming in a whirlpool.

"I am not amused, and stop laughing women this isn't funny you weren't the one polyjuiced as a fat ass beached whale...I can still smell Cheetos dammit!"

Harry hears a exasperated sigh and feels the woman leave his side. He cracks open an eye hoping that the spinning has stopped and that it dark out. He sees blearily images of a women patting a guys shoulder in mock comfort. Harry groans in pain.

"I'm going to kill him."

He isn't sure who he is talking about but most likely that it's Dumbledore. At the thought of the old bastard he remembers what happened to Daphne and his eyes snap open. Harry then comes face to face with a pair of ice cold black eyes that are staring at him with such focus. The black eyes widen is fright and a startled trill is heard as it takes to the air. Harry tries to get up when he feels a soft hand on his chest and a light giggle then he feels it gently push him back onto the couch.

"Stay put you have been through a rough patch."

Harry turns to look at soft voice and see a young women with dark blue almost black hair that reaches the middle of her back. However the ends of her hair are a light powder blue, her eyes also a powder blue are dancing with amusement but also with a motherly firmness.

Harry then tries to sit up again and once again the women shoves him but with a lot more force and with a commanding tone barks.

"Stay down, I still have a lot of bloody work to do in undoing what Mr. Dumbledore did and it is taking a lot longer then I had originally thought it would."

Harry groans at being forcefully shoved back in to the couch. He looks around and shudders at how bloody ugly the interior of the house looks but then with a hoarse voice asks.

"My head hurts already can you try and be nicer? so how long have I been out?"

The young woman Smiles gently at him and lets out another giggle.

"Not if you keep trying to sit up and insist on moving, and it has been 5 days since you where brought here."

Harry eyes widen at that then tries to forcefully sit up again but the woman holds him down and conjours three leather straps that hold him down tightly.

She then glares down at him with a penetratingly cold stare.

"I have told you that you are to stay down and not move till I can finish unbinding these bloody locks."

Harry freezes at her tone of voice but only for a moment before he starts to struggle out of his bindings then blurts outs in panic.

"Dumbledore's phoenix took Daphne back to her father's I have to get her Gabriel! I promised she wouldn't ever have to see him again."

Gabriel's eyes soften at her young charges unwavering loyalty and devotion towards the nice young woman. She then leans down and kisses his forehead .

Harry then feels his eyes getting far to heavy. They soon start to slowly fall and his body starts to slow down. However before the darkness fully consumes him he hears Gabriel's soft voice one last time.

"Your mate is just fine young prince, now go to sleep and rest."

Back at the Black manor after Harry was taken and the people that where left behind are currently in the garden. They had decided that the best course of action right now is to lay low until dinner when some very vocal unhappiness would happen.

Once again Remus and Narcissa are reading under separate trees, while Tonks is resting her head in Remus's lap and staring at the back of her eyelids. The teens are sitting in a lotus position, once again in meditation.

Draco soon cracks open an eye and regards Remus for a second before asking him a question.

"So what was with the patronus? I don't think any of us have ever seen you lose that much of your cool before."

Remus for his part sighs then closes his book.

"It's what you told us that the fool Cygnus Greengrass has planned. It has sent Harry's most important and most dangerous plan incredibly ahead of schedule."

Draco tilts his head in confusion and curiosity.

"I'm not sure I understand is that a good thing or a bad thing Remus?"

Remus rubs the bridge of his nose.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing but now it has become exceedingly more dangerous for Daphne."

Everyone looks at Remus with a fair amount of curiosity and a hint of worry for Daphne.

Tonks then pokes him in the side to get his attention, when Remus looks down at her she asks.

"What is going to happen to her moon?"

Remus raises an eyebrow at the shortened name while Tonks lightly blushes.

"As you all I'm sure remember, me and Sirius told you a little about Harry's master Luciferel and a few of the S-classes that we have seen and met."

He waits for everyone to nod in acknowledgement and then continues.

"Well the woman that had conned Sirius is that man's wife. Her name is Gabriel and just like her husband is part of the celestial and she has seemed incredibly interested in meeting Daphne for some time."

The group sits stunned at this revelation. However Remus doesn't seem to notice and continues.

"At first we had thought it was a simple case of a mother figure wanting to meet the girl that has stolen her baby's heart. However that soon changed when Gabriel and Daphne's godfather Dante had gotten to talking about her. Now she wants to test Daphne and see if she has the potential to be her apprentice just like how Harry is Luciferel's."

The three teens mouths hang open and Tonks eyes widen she then asks.

"So you had sent a patronus to this Gabriel then but why?"

Remus nods his head absently in a silent answer then closes his eye for a second in contemplation before answering her question.

"Because if Daphne passes Gabriel's entrance exam and is then accepted as her apprentice, Daphne will then become her ward and what ever influence and power Cygnus had over Daphne's life will be nonexistent. Which means that all contracts of any kind become void unless she agrees on it, and that is unbloody likely."

Everyone but Narcissa relaxes at this revelation but then they stiffen once again at her simple statement and question.

"You said it will be dangerous for her now. What did you mean?"

Remus nods his head solemnly at this before trying to explain the best he can.

"Ya the tests have for century's been only whispered as simple rumors and the only thing people are sure about is that the test is referred to as the mark of the archangel. How ever what I know for sure is because of what Harry has said...It's a life or death exam."

That seemed to shock them all for a moment. Then Tonks jumps up from her pillow of Remus's lap and starts the shake the man roughly calling the man different forms of idiot.

Remus then grabs her wrist to stop her and says.

"I know but it's not my decision or even idea and I pray that she is ready but I had no other choice but to move it a head."

Tonks stops trying to struggle out of his grip and Narcissa steps over to him and puts a comforting hand on his shoulder then she softly asks.

"Remus what do you mean by 'you had no choice'?"

Remus lightly shudders and in a small voice almost a whisper he utter a single name.

"Hadrian Lefay."

The twins look at each other the ask at the same time.

"Isn't that what Bill had called Harry after Ron insulted both him and the princess?"

Everyone looks to Remus to see his expression and to hear his answer and explanation for the fear that he has for the simple name.

"No Hadrian Lefay while technically is Harry's real name. They are two completely different people. Harry Potter-Black is fiercely loyal and will sacrifice himself for his friends and family. How ever Hadrian Lefay only care's about Daphne and will destroy any and everything in his path to protect her...Even if it means he has to burn this world to the ground."

Everyone's eyes widen and a shiver of fear shoots though their entire core. Tonks starts to shakes her head repeatedly.

"No one has that kinda power."

Remus then lowers and shakes his head.

He wouldn't be alone in this vendetta. The celestial's and the America's would join"

Everyone pales further and then Draco stutters out in fear.

"DDin..t Ttthee olold man usse that bir..bird of his."

Remus head snaps his head up in absolute horror and looks to Narcissa who nods her head in understanding and begin to leave and go back to the Greengrass feels someone grab her sleeve and to see Draco following her.

"Stay here Draco."

Draco simple shakes his head in the negative and continues to follow his mother.

Narcissa sighs at her son stubbornness and then thinks to her self.

'I don't know where he gets this from.'

She relents and then allows him to come with her.

When the two of them arrive at Greengrass manor they quickly make their way towards the front door. Draco quickly knocks on the door that is soon answered by the house elf from earlier who looks surprised to see the two once again.

"How can I's be helping yous with my lady."

With a casual flick of her hair and a stoic expression Narcissa answers.

"I wish to speak with lord Greengrass about something."

The little elf bows once more then pops away to inform her lord. Once the elf leaves Narcissa turn to Draco and speaks quickly.

"I want you to go find Astoria and see if she knows if Daphne was returned. If she was find her and get her out of here as quickly as possible."

Draco nods just before the elf returns to take them to lord Greengrass. Draco soon after splits from the other two and runs up the stairs hoping to quickly find Astoria, he prays softly that Daphne isn't here.

A little while later after trying two locked doors and a broom closet he come to a small library. He looks around for a few second till his eyes fall on the girl he has been looking for.

Astoria Greengrass sitting in an armchair beside the fireplace. Her legs are tucked under her and her brown hair hides her face as she is lost in her book. She doesn't notice as Draco makes his way over to her and sits in a chair opposite of her. Astoria finally notices a unfamiliar presence and with a startled jump and girlish eep when Draco sits is a chair in front of her.

The two make eye contact and Draco begins in a rush at the girl's cold glare.

"Hi Astoria, look I'm sorry about getting you involved with a marriage contract that your father is aiming to get with house Malfoy. But it was really the best way at this point to keep you safe from the death eaters."

Astoria continues to glare coldly at Draco Who once again thinks it is oddly reminiscent of Daphne's. He then inwardly scolds himself and then reminds himself that he is here for a reason.

"Alright so the reason I'm here Astoria is because I need you to be completely honest with me."

Astoria tilts her head in confusion but the coldness of her gaze never leaves her eyes.

When Draco sees that she hasn't cursed him yet he hopes that she is willing to listen and then asks the girl.

"Has Daphne been returned home in the last few hours?"

Astoria shakes her head and speaks for the first time.

"No she hasn't and father is getting more angry as the days go by with her absence."

Her voice sends chills down his spin as the coldness is just like her stare that has fully returned back in place.

"Why?"

Draco tries as hard as he can to think of a viable answer. But when he cant think of one that seems right he sighs and decides to just be truthful and hope for the best.

"Well you see a friend of mine had decided to take her with him just before summer started because he despises your father."

Astoria's cold mask shatter into a burning inferno as she reaches out and grabs the front of his robes her eyes are no longer of icy indifference but a firey anger.

"What do you mean she was taken? who was it? answer me!"

Draco looks afraid for a second then looks away and debates if he should tell her. he looks at the corner of his eye and sees the fiery stare and in the end he relents. He looks the fiery girl in the eye and can't help but wonder if this is her real self the complete opposite of her sister.

"She went of her own free will. Mainly because she truly loves the guy with all her heart...Not really sure why the guys kind of a dick."

The last part he said under his breath but she still heard him and narrowed her eye and hissed menacingly.

"Who. Was. It?"

With each word she lift his robes higher into the air. Her eyes narrowed further till they where nothing more then slits.

Draco pales a little afraid and in hopes of calming her down some he blurts with out thinking.

"Hadrian Lefay!"

Astoria's eyes widen for a fraction of a second then she starts giggling hysterically. She then falls back into her chair and giggles a bit more. When she gets her giggling under control her smile then reaches her eyes for the first time. Astoria then starts to bounce slightly in her chair and excitedly exclaims.

"Tell me everything!"

Draco is absolutely shocked by this girls complete 180 personality change in seconds. But he starts to tell her what he had seen and heard over the course of the last few days since summer started.

Narcissa follows the little elf down the halls towards lord Greengrass's office. The elf knocks on the door and a gruff voice is heard through the door.

When Narcissa enters she stops when she sees five others besides Cygnus Greengrass in different positions around the room. Two of the men she observes are on the far right side. one of them is laying on the couch a rapier leaning on the arm rest above his head. He has short fiery red hair that's spiked, his eyes are closed but a phoenix tattoo is wrapped around his right eye.

His partner she assumes is sitting in front of him at the front of the couch in meditation. He has blonde hair with hints of silver that reaches his back braided in to a dragons tail. They both are wearing pitch black cloaks that also look like a galaxy is trapped within the fabric.

Two of the other men are sitting in plush chairs in front of Cygnus and the last man Theodore Nott Sr. One of them looks to be a incredibly muscled and tattooed Russian and the other looks to be Asian wearing a black and white gi and round sunglasses. Both look mildly tense and they're eyes keep darting back to the two men on the right side of the room.

Narcissa curtseys to them in respect and then speaks.

"Lord Greengrass I'm sorry for disturbing you once again but I would like to ask for your permission for your youngest to accompany me and Draco when we go to the Malfoy villa in France for the rest of summer,"

Cygnus eyes go from hard to calculating before he responds.

"Very well that might be a good idea. Now would you care to stay and join us. After all we where actually about to begin discussing what we had talked about earlier."

Narcissa quickly understands what he means and relaxes. She once again curtsy's to Cygnus.

"If you so desire lord Greengrass I would be honored."

Cygnus nods his head then he addresses the other four men in the room.

"Now gentleman I have been told by some of my clients over seas that you are some of the best in your given profession."

The two mercs in front of him nod at the praise how ever the other two show no sign of listening to him.

Cygnus continues believing that it will be easy to get these men to work for him.

"As such I would like to request your skills in locating my wayward daughter Daphne Greengrass. You will be of course paid very well. As long as she is alive I'm not overly concerned how you bring her in."

The two men at the couch actually open a single eye to regard the man after he makes his offer. The red head with the colour of freshly spilled blood and the blonde with almost molten gold. The red head stands up and with a grin grabs his rapier and helps his partner to his feet, then with a voice that sounds as smooth as silk responds.

"Now why didn't you say that much sooner, we could of saved ourselves a trip. But oh well at least we got to see how far back you English sheep are. our answer to this job is...fuck no."

With that the two men start to leave but then Nott Sr. shouts to them.

"This isn't a request it's an order from the dark lord himself."

Both men look at the two Englishman behind the desk. While the other two mercs tense even more and then pale at the look in the other mercs eyes. The red head burst out laughing to the two other mercs confusion and the two English lords anger. The blonde then finally speaks himself.

"The angels serve no one. especially from a brat who is throwing a temper tantrum cause daddy didn't love him. How ever I will give you a piece of advice for your own health. Go after her and the horseman will ride."

With that the two men aparate from inside the manor much to everyone's shock.

The other two mercs sigh in relief that they didn't get into a fight with those two psychopath. The Russian then grumbles in a thick accent for only his Asian counterpart to hear.

"Stupid Englishman don even reliz they almost die."

The Asian nods his head a fraction in understanding but remains silent.

Narcissa who has remained silent and watched this whole thing unfold decides now is a good of a time as any to leave while the two lords are distracted. So excusing herself politely she leaves the office to find Astoria and Draco to take them back to the Black manor.

It's dark and quiet for a few moments then Harry slowly opens his eyes. He sees a large field and a large forest to the side. As he looks around he then sees a much younger version of himself flying in the sky with a broom. He then sees a flash of familiar blonde hair run pass him in the corner of his eye. His younger self must have noticed and had landed then chased after her.

Harry follows both children, when he gets close enough he sees the glint of metal in little Daphne's hand and his eyes widen at the realization of what this memory was.

With a scream Daphne thrust the knife in her hand at her heart. She cracks open an eye as she had expected a lot of pain but there was nothing at all just a familiar feel of warmth and comfort. She looks down and sees the knife stuck in to a familiar arm that is wrap around her. Then hears a familiar but at the same time hard voice with the hint of pain ask.

"What do you think you are doing you stupid girl!?"

Daphne looks up and sapphire meets emerald both are on the verge of tears.

Harry then trips Daphne and slowly brings her to the ground He leans over her body they're noses touching. Harry then uses his good arm to hold both of Daphne's arms over her head and his eyes then soften a fraction.

"Why daphy?"

Daphne tries to hold back the tear that threaten to spill but the sound of Hadrian's voice breaks her and she burst in to tears. She explains how her mother had just died and that her father has been saying that she and her sister are just pieces to be sold to the highest bidder. That he has threaten bodily harm to both her and her sister.

For the first time Harry's magical aura flares and from deep within he hears a soft and motherly voice coo.

"Finally after years I have found you my child."

Harry looks around for the voice but his attention soon returns to the sobbing girl under him. He then releases Daphne's arms and hugs her tightly whispering softly to her.

"No matter the cost I'll pay it to protect you..This I promise you."

For Daphne as soon as the dam had burst and she told her best friend everything, she felt his aura and for a second she thought she had seen the aura take the shape of a tail and fox like ear. Daphne then felt him release her arms and hugged her. She then instictively wrapped her own arms around the boys neck and leaning up lightly pecked his lips with her own.

It was both of their first kiss and neither could think of anyone better to share it with.

Daphne's eyes then widen when she remembers the knife wound and pushes Hadrian off and drags him to the house.

Harry watches the old memory unfold in front of him, and smiles sadly as he feels himself waking up. The first thing he notices when he awakes is the warmth in his right hand. He looks down and sees Daphne's head laying on his chest her right hand tightly grasping his. Harry smiles and brushes a lock of blonde hair behind her ear.

A few minutes later Daphne's eyes flutter open and she looks up to see two emeralds looking at her softly. She smiles tiredly but softly at him then leans up to kiss him.

Harry grins and tugs her on top of him. The girl then lets out a startled shriek. But before anything else can happen a bell like giggle is heard at the doorway to the kitchen.

Daphne tries to get up but Harry refuses to let her go from his embrace.

Gabriel walks into the room with the grace of a Goddess still smiling all the while. Her gaze and eyes soon gain a seriousness to them as she examines the both of them together for a minute then grins again.

"I approve."

Gabriel then starts to walk away as she gets to the kitchen Harry calls out to her before she can get a few step away.

"How is Daphne here I was sure I saw Dumbledore's phoenix snatch her?"

Gabriel grins mischievously while she responds innocently as a blue and white majestic looking bird flies on to her shoulder.

"You forget my baby here is just like me and has a way with the male population. Now dinner is in fifteen minutes so wash up then after wards it will be right to bed for the both of you."

Both teens look at her in confusion and Harry looks ready to protest after not seeing his girlfriend for at least five days but Gabriel stops him before he can say anything.

"I have decided to take Daphne for the 'mark of the archangel' test and Luciferel wants to have 'words' with you in the morning and you know how he is."

With that Gabriel goes into the kitchen while Daphne looks at Harry in confusion while Harry looks very pale and death like.

so here it is the next chapter I hope you all liked it and that it explained a few things and also some of Daphne and Harry's relationship back story and why she is how she is so please review I'm not sure when I'll get the next chapter out so please be patient.
