Chapter Six

A/N Short one sorry it has to do with a review what did I change about a character in the looks department as I may know what you are talking about and if it's what I think then it was my beta who had me change it as she said it was off lol

One by one they stepped out of the floo Harry immediately headed upstairs to change he was tired of these robes and knew the guest would be arriving soon. Walking into his room he took the robe off and quickly searched his closet for something to wear. He finally settled on a pair of khaki pants and a white polo shirt with the Potter crest on it before heading downstairs to join the party.

Upon walking out, the back doors he found most of the guest had arrived and the party was in full swing. There were several large tables on the porch laden with food and drinks all in all it was a very informal party with light music coming from somewhere. People all around were mingling and chatting in groups. He couldn't help but smile he loved parties he enjoyed watching and interacting with the people. Suddenly his eyes were covered from behind he tensed ready to go for his wand when he heard a familiar giggle.

"Guess who?" Harry couldn't hide his smile now as it was the one person he was looking for. "Oh, I don't know um Jessica?" He says it in a playful tone but it doesn't stop the slap to his head and huff he hears from the cute blonde behind him. "Jessica better be what you call your hand in private Potter or so help me." Harry begins to outright laugh as he turns around and faces his girlfriend. The sight before him makes him pause as Hannah is standing there with her hands on her hips tapping her foot. He can't help but admire the floor length sapphire blue gown she wore with just one strap over her shoulder.

"I was only kidding my lovely Badger and I must say you look amazing maybe you should have been a claw blue is a very nice color on you." He kisses her softly on the lips and takes her hand. Hannah slapped his arm playfully. "That's not nice then what would you call me a lovely claw just sounds weird." She shudders a little as the night is a little brisk Harry quickly wraps his arms around her from behind and begins to rub hers. "Are you enjoying the party?" She smiles to herself enjoying his touch. "Oh yes your parents have a lovely place. I heard a little about what went on at the meeting did you really how did auntie Amelia put it. Oh yes tear Fudge a new arsehole."

Harry couldn't stop the bark of a laugh he let out at the innocent look on her face as she said this. He pulled her against him harder giving her a light kiss on her bare shoulder. "Well we did put him in his place but no worse than he deserved I assure you." Hannah turned in his arms staring up into his deep green eyes. He leaned down and just as their lips were about to touch he heard a light cough from behind Hannah. Looking up above her head he met the eyes of none other than Arthur Weasley.

Hannah turned back around in his arms to see who had interrupted them. The first thing she saw was a rather plump redhaired lady beaming at the two of them. Harry smiled back and stepped to Hannah's side before giving a light bow and kissing the redhaired ladies hand. "Lord Weasley Lady Weasley it is an honor for you to show up to our little soiree." Hannah had a slightly confused look on her face she knew the Weasley family was and old family but as far as she was aware they were no longer an Ancient and Noble family.

Arthur smiled and shook Harrys hand strongly as Molly blushed lightly at being addressed as a lady. "Lord Potter I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world. Nor would my family after what you did for us today. I don't know how you managed to convince the Wizengamot to reinstate my family as a Noble house but we will forever be in your debt. If there is anything I can do for you please do not hesitate to ask." Harry was smiling in the direction of the Weasley children who were standing in a group looking a little out of place.

Taking Hannah's hand, he looked in Arthurs eyes and nodded to his family. Perhaps an introduction to your lovely family Lord Weasley I believe I have only met four of them there appear to be seven here." Arthur chuckles lightly of course Lord Potter but please call me Arthur I shall introduce you right away." Harry led Hannah over with him and the oldest looking male stepped forward and extended his hand. Harry took a second to get a look at him his long red hair tied in a ponytail behind his head he was dressed to impress in a new Harry suspected three-piece suit. Harry took the offered hand and knew immediately that he was a hard worker by the callouses on his hand.

"Hello Lord Potter" said the young man as everyone gave him a bow. "My name is William Weasley I wanted to personally thank you for what you have done for my family today. The goblins can't stop talking about it." He stepped back and gave Harry a warm smile. He suspected this was a man he could trust if needed. Arthur was standing beside his family and began to speak. "Bill is a curse breaker for Gringotts he says the goblins are going nuts as they had to go and search their records to find the old House Weasley vault."

He then nodded to the next young man in line who stepped forward and to Harrys amusement kissed Hannah's hand causing her to blush deeply. He then extended his hand to Harry. Harry noticed several burns along the mans hand and wrist. "Hello Lord Potter I am Charlie Weasley second oldest in this ragtag group and as my brother has said we are in your debt." He stepped back into line as Arthur began to speak. "Charlie works in Romania with dragons he was just able to make it back in time for the party." The next boy to step up looked in Harrys opinion to be a little stuck up he had his head held high and seemed to dislike being third in introductions.

"Lord Potter my name is Percy Weasley you have done my family a service today thank you." He said all this with an air of someone who wanted to get it over with and walked off after he shook Harrys hand. Arthur coughed nervously "yes well the others I am sure you remember. Fred and George both took one of Harrys hands and began shaking the vigorously practically hoping up and down getting a fistful of giggles from Hannah who they immediately began kissing her hands. Lady Weasley looked horrified at her two sons who then looked back at Harry who had a wide grin on his face.

"LORD Potter what an honor sir." The other twin took his place "Oh yes a delight a magnificent wonderful breathtaking delight." He then gave Hannah a quick wink and smirk causing her to blush even more. "Please forgive Percy he is a prat." "George!" The rebuke came from his mother who he just shrugged at. Fred just grinned at his mother. "Well he is sorry Harry he works for Fudge and thinks the son comes out of his a..." "Fred Weasley if you finish that sentence I will fill your mouth with soup for a week." Said a slightly terrifying Molly. Harry and Hannah could barely breath from laughing so hard.

He waved his hand at Molly while catching his breath. "Please Lady Weasley its fine these two are already two of my favorite people in Britain they always know how to lighten the mood. As for Percy, I understand and don't hold it against him I did kind of upset his boss today." This got a snort from the only girl in the line and soft chuckles from the rest. She stepped forward and after giving Hannah an appraising look gave Harry a lingering kiss on his cheek. "Well Lord Potter I am sure you remember me as well am I not one of your favorites?" She gave him a slight pout puffing out her bottom lip and giving it a slight lick.

Harry cleared his throat softly as he felt Hannah stiffen beside him. "Uh well yes of course I remember you Ginny and uh yes you are definitely a plus to Britain." He pulled at his collar slightly. Giving Hannah a quick glance he could see her standing stock still looking between him and Ginny. Uh oh she couldn't have guessed not that quickly. Could she? I will talk to her once they leave. He quickly stepped forward and extended his hand to the last Weasley boy.

"Hello Ron, nice to see you again. Ready for school to start back up?" Ron nodded his head and shook Harrys hand. "Yeah and ready for the quidditch season to start." Arthur stood beside his family beaming as he cleared his throat. "Well Lord Potter we have taken enough of your time we will let you get back to your evening we just wanted to thank you." Harry gave him a warm smile back and shook his hand once more. "Of course, Lord Weasley it was a pleasure."

When they were out of earshot Hannah stormed off to the side of the manor. Harry quickly went after her not noticing his mom and dad follow. He quickly caught up and grabbed her arm she swung around and before he knew what was happening his head was rocked to the side as her hand connected with his face. His hand went to his cheek only to see to his horror her knee come up connecting right where he hoped it wouldn't. He immediately collapsed to the ground groaning in pain.

Looking up he could see his parents behind Hannah looking higher he saw the fire in her eyes. "HOW Dare YOU" she hissed at him. "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME AFTER WHAT YOU DID WITH THAT TART. THEN YOU LET HER PRATICALLY FLAUNT IT IN FRONT OF ME HARRY POTTER. WAS IT BEFORE OR AFTER OUR DATE HARRY DID YOU FUCK HER BEFORE OR AFTER ANSWER ME NOW. He could barely breath as he saw her pull her wand. "A... after" he managed to cough out. She shrieked and her wand flashed as Harry was thrown against the house she stormed off leaving as soon as she found the floo tears streaming from her eyes.

Harry was on the verge of blacking out for about a minute when he looked up to his horror he saw the steely look in his mothers' eyes. Sirius placed his hand on his wife's shoulder. "Let me handle this honey I promise he won't get off Scott free you have my word Lily.

0000000 0000000000 0000000000 00000000000 00000000000000

Harry was sitting on the couch in the den with a bag of ice between his legs. Looking up he saw his dad studying him with a look of apprehension. He finally sighed and sat back before looking his son in the eyes. "Well got yourself in a little mess pup. Your mom is ready to castrate you your uh girlfriend already tried to and now we have to have a man to man." Harry winched as he got into a better position to listen to his dad. "Look Harry I know I might not be the best example when it comes to how to treat a lady. Hell, neither was James for that matter but I thought I at least taught you better than this."

Harry hung his head "I didn't think about how it would affect Hannah dad. I didn't know how close we would get I mean I had a lot of fun on our date. I guess I should have thought about her feelings after that. We never really started dating it just sort of happened when I shagged Ginny I didn't really think Hannah was my girlfriend." He held up his hand to stop his dads next words. "I know that's no excuse dad I wasn't thinking and now I may have lost a good friend because of one mistake." Sirius cold see that Harry knew he had done wrong and deeply regretted it but he couldn't just let him off Lily would kill him.

"Be that as it is you still have to be punished well more than what that little spitfire did to you." Harry frowned at the chuckle that escaped Sirius as he said this. "Your grounded" oh dam I'm a parent merlin help me. "You are confined to your room except during meals you are to study your books and write your mother a report everyday on what you learned. This means no flying no games eat work and sleep until you go to Hogwarts. I will take you to Diagon Alley to get your school things tomorrow until then get upstairs I will have Bill come and get you in the morning."

Harry hung his head lightly and nodded to his dad. "Yes, sir and dad I really am sorry. May I write to her?" Sirius gave him a small smile before he nodded. Harry quickly made his way into his room and began to write an apology to Hannah.

000000000 000000000000 0000000000 00000000000 000000000000

Sirius walked into the kitchen to see his wife smiling at him holding a tumbler of whisky. "The great Sirius Black having to be an adult if only our classmates could see you now." Sirius gave her a playful scowl and flipped her the bird which only made her giggle as he took the glass. "Well maybe latter if your good." He just shook his head and downed the glass before giving his wife a kiss. "Once we have his school books he will be writing you a report every day until school starts. I did give her permission to write her though he really is upset." Lily shook her head and took a sip from the wine glass in front of her.

"I don't know what I was expecting with James Potter being his father and Sirius Black his dad. I guess I'm just lucky he hasn't gotten someone pregnant by now." Sirius gave a bark of a laugh and muttered under his breath. "What was that" said Lily as she caught a little of what he said. Sirius cleared his throat looking away uncomfortably. "I said we thought he had once." He cringed back as his wife advanced on him. "Sirius Black what the bloody hell do you mean you thought he had when and with who start talking." Sirius back peddled quickly as he saw her draw her wand.

"Lily calm down it was only a scare he didn't get her pregnant." "Only a scare! You better keep talking if you don't want to wind up like our son." Sirius cringed as he remembered what had just happened. "Jessica that's who it was and it was last year. He came to me looking like he had seen a ghost. He asked for my help evidently, she hadn't been feeling well and had admitted that she had forgotten her potion the month before. You know how he felt about her she was his first love. Well he said she was afraid to tell her parents and he was afraid to tell you so they asked me to help. I took her to a healer to get her checked out the next day. Well turns out she wasn't pregnant but did have a virus so we decided that no one needed to know."

Lily couldn't believe she had never known this what had happened to her innocent little boy. "I'm going to kill him." She said this with an eerily calm voice that made Sirius shudder. "Honey its been taken care of and you can't go and kill our son you want grand kids. "Not this bloody soon!" "He knows better now he just didn't well think this time." "Ugh I am going to bed and if you try anything I swear I will throw you out the window Sirius Black." With those parting words, she stormed out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

Sirius just sighed and sat at the bar pouring himself another drink. He held it towards the sky and toasting his luck with his best friend. "Well James I wish you were here right now you always knew how to handle situations like this better than me. I miss you mate but I kept my promise they are as safe as I can make them." With that he slugged the rest of his drink before heading to bed himself.

The next morning Harry woke to Bill gently shaking him. "Master Harry must wake up Master Black says he must come to breakfast. He says if Master Harry does not get up he will get squirted sir must wake up." The little elf was getting frantic trying to rouse his young Master out of bed.

Harry groaning as he rolled over gave Bill a bleary-eyed look. "I'm up Bill calm down I'll be down in a second. Just let me get a shower and dressed ok?" Bill nodded his head quickly and ran out the room to inform Sirius. Harry pulled himself out of bed and groggily made his way into the bathroom.

After a quick leak and check to confirm his bits were still there after the lick he had taken he slipped into a hot shower to wake up and think. I didn't think she would care about it I mean yeah, we had been on one date. Did that count as dating? I mean we never said we were dating I think we both just assumed. Or maybe it was after that night at her place. I guess I should have told her I will apologize when I see her I'm sure she thinks she over reacted. Although Ginny didn't have to pick at her.

Drying off and walking to his wardrobe Harry heard a knock at his door. "Give me a second I'm not decent" he called out to whoever knocked. "When are you ever decent hurry up playboy I want to hear the details from last night" came the reply. Ugh Thought Harry as he heard James "I've got pants on come in." James stepped into the room with his customary crooked grin. Harry couldn't help but notice he looked better than he had in a while less haggard and happy.

Looking back at his dresser for a shirt Harry did a double take. "Wait you're not wearing black how did that happen did your house elf not do the wash?" James casually flipped him the bird and grabbed a shirt out of Harrys dresser tossing it at him. "Wear that and firstly Slytherin Manor has no elves it's taken care of by a Veela clan. Second as you know Susan is staying with me these last two weeks and she picked the outfit to match hers I think. I really don't know you know girls and fashion."

Harry gawked at him for a minute as he put the shirt on. "Ok first she got you YOU James I will do whatever the hell I want Yale to wear something she picked? Second Veela really what the hell man how did that work?" James just shrugs and heads downstairs with Harry quickly following him.

Once downstairs Harry walked into the dining room to see his parents siting there talking with James and eating. Ramsey quickly placed him a full breakfast at the spot beside Susan. Harry paused to admire her outfit. A simple v neck grey dress with just a little sleeve that showed almost all of her shoulder and plenty of her assets in his opinion. Now he understood the grey slacks and vest James wore. Sitting beside her Harry leaned in and whispered in her ear. "Very nice dress Susan shows just enough to tempt." Susan chose to ignore his remark but couldn't stop the blush that came to her cheeks.

Sirius looks up to finally see his son at the table. "About time I mean damn pup you've only been without a girlfriend for one night did you really have to spend so much time in the shower?" This remark garnered him a loud snort from James who tried to cover it with a cough and a blush from Harry. Lily didn't say anything to her husband about it except to remind him of the young lady present. "I'm sorry Susan that was rude of me James will buy you something nice while we are out as an apology" said a still grinning Sirius. Lily could do nothing but shake her head at his antics. James on the other hand smiled at Susan "I will endeavor to make it half as beautiful as you." This brought another blush to her face but the smile she gave him was radiant.

Sirius only chuckled and waited for Harry to finish eating before ushering everyone towards the floo. "Alright do you both have your list" asked Lily? Upon the boys nod she activated the floo and Sirius stepped in and one by one they all followed Lily being last.

When they exited Susan stumbled a little. Harry having came in behind Sirius and before her caught her and used the opportunity to give her ass a squeeze. Sirius just smiled at the blushing girl assuming it was from tripping not seeing his sons hand. After everyone was there Sirius took his wand over each of them cleaning the soot off before they went into the cauldrons parlor. "Ok as we agreed you two will refrain from using magic just act like normal school boys. Susan, it was nice of you to come even though you have your school things but if you want to go do something else I'm sure Lily could take you and we could meet up for lunch.

Susan smiled at Sirius "that would be great do you mind Lady Black James?" Lily just shook her head "of course not your going to be like family now we do need to get to know each other. Besides only being around boys all day can be dreadful." This earns her a mock pout from Sirius. James takes her hand and leads her a couple feet away. She looks at him with a slightly worried face. "I don't mind you going with Lily I just wanted to give you this." He held out a beseecher book to her she shook her head confused.

"I have my money bag here you will need that to get your school things thank you though." James chuckles softly and presses the book into her hand closing her fingers around it. "This one is not mine it is yours I had a betrothal vault set up for you the money in it replenishes each week and there is plenty go wild it's the least I can do and before you say no its already done and I demand you use it." Susan can see the determination in his eyes and gives him a beaming smile before she kisses his cheek softly. "Thank you." She heads off with Lily as James walks back to the boys.

"Giving a girl money, I thought I taught you boys better" said Sirius jokingly. He leads them into Madam Malkin's first coming thru the door he notices it has a large group of last minute shoppers. "Well we can go here or Twilfitt and Tattings your choice boys." James just shrugs as Harry looks around "I think we should go to Twilfitt it may be less crowded dad.

They quickly exited the shop and head down the street to Twilfitt and Tattings. Upon entering they are greeted by a middle age man in a sharp black suit. "Hello gentlemen a pleasure to see you today how may I be of assistance?" The man appears to look them up and down and nods his head in approval. Sirius shakes the man's hand and takes charge.

"Hello sir, we need new school robes for these too the best you have." Nodding the man snaps his fingers and another gentleman comes out and takes Harry to one room while he motions James to another. Harry is directed into a medium sized room surrounded by mirrors. The floor is a mahogany wood and there are several clothing racks off to one side.

"Yes, then sir if you would hold your arms out so I can measure you." After what felt like hours of measuring and trying things on Harry had twelve new sets of uniforms. "Is there anything special you would like added to the robes sir. Temperature charms self-drying water repellant?" Harry smiled at the man and said, "oh I would like the works whatever you can legally add please do." The man began to scribble on his parchment furiously as he led Harry to the front.

"Yes, well your totals come to twelve hundred galleons apiece. They both paid their bills and told him they would return in an hour for their uniforms then headed out the door. "Alright that's taken care of now for your books where do you want to get them?" "I would say Flourish and Blotts is the best bet dad its right over here." Following Harry into the store Sirius looks down at their list.

The only difference in the boys' schedule was that Harry would take healing while James took spell creation and enchantment which required two other books. The Art of Spells Creation and Understanding by Jessica Wooten and A guide to the Art of Enchanting by Count Benedict Van Landehozer.

While Sirius went to the counter to have a clerk locate the books for them Harry and James wandered around and ended up in the defensive section. Both were staring at a glossy black book with deep red lettering on the spine. Quickfire Counters and Game Enders by H.A Craig Moran. Harry and James both pulled a copy out of the rack and started leafing thru the book.

Harry looked over at James. "I've heard of him he was head auror for a long time then retired. He's from Britain but went to Mahoutokoro in Japan. He was a legend I mean just look at some of these spells. He then began to read the about the author part in the cover.

Born to an Irish father and an English mother in the small village of Poynton in Cheshire it was clear to his parents that he had special magical abilities even as a toddler when his father Declan tried to take his favorite stuffed toy off him one day after breaking an expensive chair and he performed his first piece of wandless magic by banishing his father across the room and through the first story bedroom window.

As he grew his magical abilities led to him earning a scholarship to Mahoutokoro school of Magic where he was quick to impress the Masters in the school famed for its quidditch prowess and dueling classes. He was the first student to be made Head Boy from outside of Asia and earned this by being unbeatable in dueling class.

After graduating top of his class, he joined the international dueling league and won back to back Championships for three years running and earned a reputation of a fighter to both respected and feared. It was during a visit to a tournament in Sheffield where he was crowned champion for the third time that he met his future wife Lucy and decided that he wanted to settle down and start a family.

After marrying the love of his life Head Auror Craig Moran served the British ministry for over sixty years (thirty of which as head auror) and is one of the most respected and successful aurors Britain has ever seen. He was consulted on the construction and magical fail safes of Azkaban prison and is the creator of some of the most powerful curses and counter curses still used today such as the Hammer Strike, Flaming Tornado and Bone Blaster.

They each took a copy of the book James also grabbed one for Susan and as an afterthought a third for Hannah. Walking back up to the counter they saw Sirius shrinking several bags of books. Upon walking up, he handed the packages to each boy and took a quick look at the books they had as they bought them.

They left after the boys had added their books to the bags and Sirius glanced at his watch. "Ok stock up potion ingredients then we can go get some lunch deal?" Both boys nodded their heads and followed him into the next store. When they entered the store, Harry couldn't help but notice how dim it was inside. It also had the normal smell of a potions lab. Dank musty with strange smells here and there.

Walking up to the counter he smiled at the wizard there. "Hello, we need two potion kits for school please." The wizard looked him over and nodded before handing Harry a parchment with four different potions kits on it. "Which kit sir basic, intermediate, advanced, master?" Harry did a quick once over of the list look at James who just shrugged and waved his hand at Harry. Harry loved potions something he had taken after his mom from what he had been told. "I would like two advanced kits please extra full if you will." The shop keeper nodded and went in the back to gather the kits as Harry smiled at Sirius. "What you know I like potions" Sirius just grinned and shook his head. "You are going to get along with Snivillus way to well pup."

Harry turned around as the shop keeper returned with the kits. He paid for his and James shrinking them he gave him his and they walked out the store. Sirius walked them to the cauldron and looked inside before he let the boys enter. After they had moved in the door and began looking for a table among the late shopers they saw the bar manager motion them over. "Hello Lord Potter would you care for a private room we have one available?" Sirius nods to the man who leads them behind the bar into a sunlit hallway with multiple skylights. He opens a door on the left and waves them inside a brightly lit room with rich grey carpet and a six person ash table in the center.

"Please have a seat your server will be with you shortly my lords." In walked a young man he was probably twenty three or four. With short brown hair in a grey pair of servers robes. "Hello sirs what may I get you today?" He took their orders and hurried out the door leaving the guys to talk.

Lily and Susan walked down the cobblestone road chitchatting. "Well is there a certain shop you would like to see Susan?" Susan looks at Lily shyly causing the older lady to smile warmly. "Don't be shy its just us girls." Susan nods her head slowly "well I kind of wanted to get James a gift but I have no idea what he likes." Lily chuckles softly stopping their walk. "Yes he is rather closed off right now isn't he?" "Right now? What do you mean all I see is power and coldness its like he is a wall of ice. He doesn't talk much and when he does its not for me or to me."

Lily suddenly got a sad look on her face. "You need to know this but please don't let him know I told you. She waved Susan towards a little coffee shop beside her. "Lets go sit down this may take awhile."
