Flashback

Harry POV/3rd Person

With phase 1 done and the Weasley's out of my hair I could begin phase 2. After leaving the compartment and going right I just started glancing in different compartments. Some had closed blinds some were open. Hm let's go with one with closed blinds then it'll be a surprise to everybody. Nearing the end of the train I decided to pick a compartment. Not bothering to knock I opened the door and walked in. Looking around the compartment housed three Slytherins Daphne Greengrass, Tracey Davis, and Blaise Zabini. Davis and Zabini were on the right side while Greengrass was on the left. As soon as I opened the door they all whipped their heads towards it. As I entered the compartment Greengrass stood up wand in hand, and pointed it at me.

"What do you want Potter?" Ah so we're going for the icey approach, got it.

"Simple, I want to talk." Yeah I don't think she was buying it.

"Seriously Potter? You think I'm going to buy that? You're Harry Potter, you don't talk to Slytherins because we're evil right?" Huh do people really think that? Hm looks like I'm going to have change that. Maybe for a while I did think that, but that was Ron's and the Weasley's influence, a influence I'm not under anymore.

"I'm talking to you right now and you don't seem evil. Maybe a bit of a b**** but not evil." Oh this is going to be fun. Being a smarta** is fun and being an a**hole is entertaining. I should've done this a while ago.

"How dare you?! I'll have you know I'm not no b****, I'm a pureblood." Oh she wasn't helping her case any and I wasn't the only one to see that. Davis had her hand covering her mouth trying not to laugh or show her smile and Zabini had a grin on his face. I wonder how wound up I could get her. I wonder if I should lose my glamour. Nah not quite yet.

"Oh do you not understand what the term I was applying is? Because I know your not a dog but you are definitely a b****. I mean that a given. So now that we know that, why don't we see what else you can be?" The whole time I was talking Davis was struggling not to laugh as Greengrass's face was total awe and then straight to pure anger but if you looked closely enough you could see a hint of a mischievous glint in her eye. This is going to be even more fun than I thought. More so if she starts firing back.

"Oh you want to see another side of me, you sure about that?" That glint was there full force. Okay you wanna play? Let's play.

"Positive, because I'm sure that no matter what you do I can still surprise you." Let's see what in store for us shall we?

"I'm positive you going to regret that." She said as she lowered her wand. She started walking towards me with an obvious purpose in her step. She stopped not even a feet away. In fact we were so close that we were almost touching but not far enough so we were. She raised and eyebrow as if daring me to do something. This is a dare I'm definitely not walking away from. I took that final step and wrapped my arm around her waist pulling her flush against me while also dropping my glamour. I don't know what shocked her more, the fact that I took her dare or the fact that I suddenly looked different. Turning my head looking at the Davis first she was in obvious awe and looking at Zabini he had a look of surprise though he still kept the grin on his face. This was obviously the first time anyone had bested Greengrass at her own game.

Looking at her, "I think I won and you know what? I don't regret anything. This has been fun, see ya later Greengrass." I gave her waist a squeeze, slipped my glamour back on and left the compartment. Oh I look forward to our future encounters. I walked back down the hall until I found the compartment that Neville was in. Opening it I saw Luna was there with him. They were sitting on the right with nobody on the left.

"Mind if I join you?"

"Course not, have a seat Harry." I sat down on the left side opposite them. I closed the blinds and locked the door. "Um Harry? Why'd you lock the door?"

"Look Neville, Luna can I trust you two?" I hope so.

"Of course you can, but why? And why aren't Ron, Ginny and Hermione here? If it's that important then they should be here too." Ugh seriously? Why couldn't this be easy. Hm how do I explain this. Maybe the truth would be best.

"Look Neville I don't trust Ron and Ginny anymore and I don't know which side Hermione's on. So-"

"Wait why don't you trust them and what do you mean by side? Harry she's on the light side."

"Exactly that's what I'm worried about. If she's on Dumbledore's side then I can't trust her."

"Harry what are you talking about? You're on Dumbledore's side."

"No Neville, no I'm not. The only persons side I'm on is my own. I'm not on the light nor the dark side. My side is my side. I guess you could say I'm grey." Hm I never really to classify my new arrangement.

"Harry, why aren't you with Dumbledore? It doesn't make any sense. You're the savior." Okay he wasn't getting it. Maybe I should explain this in a different way.

"Look Neville, at the end of the school year I found out some very important information. When Dumbledore sent me to his office from the ministry I didn't want to sit still and I saw his penisive. I went into it and I found some very incriminating things on him, Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Ginny. Let me show you. I will perform Legilimency on you and show you the memory. Okay?"

"I guess but I think your just misunderstanding."

"No Nev I'm not. Legilimens!" I cast the spell and once I was in his mind I started thinking of what I witnessed in the penisive.

I had just got into Dumbledore's penisive and I looked around. I saw him siting at his desk. He looked up and said enter. Looking behind be at the door I saw Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Ginny all enter the room. What were they doing here?

"Ah Molly, Miss Weasley, Mister Weasley, what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Ginny and I were curious about when to start Harry's Potions? I think we should start soon before he meets someone and he's swayed." Mrs. Weasley said. I looked at her in disbelief. Potions? What kind of potions?

"Ah that's right, I would suggest you start dosing him when I stays at headquarters this summer. You should see an obvious change in his behavior and affections by the end of the summer. At most the middle of September. Don't fret, he will marry Ginny eventually. Be patient." Dumbledore finished. and Ginny looked really pleased. Me on the other hand. I don't want to get married. I don't like Ginny that way. How could they do this to me? Forcing me to marry her, by potions?!

"Mister Weasley what do you need?" Please don't be something like that.

"When am I getting paid? I've been stuck friends with him since 1st year. He's always complaining and endangering me, so when do I get paid for it?" PAID?! He was only friends with me to get paid?! What was going on here?"

"Soon Mister Weasley, once Miss Weasley marries him she will have claims over Mister Potter family vault and trust vault. You and your family will then be rich. So you just have to be a little patient." As soon as he said rich Ron got this glint in his eye. Family Vault? I can't believe they are doing this to me.

No I won't allow it. This summer I putting end to it. I have to go to Gringotts.

"That's what I'm talking about Neville, here Luna I'll show you too." I repeated the action with her and showed her the memory.

"They said they would start dosing you when you were with them. How come you aren't in love with Ginny?" Valid question.

"Because I took precautions to ensure I didn't drink the potions. I always got my own drink. I took other precautions as well be that was the most effective one." I threw up a silencing charm before continuing.

"I went to Gringotts in the early summer, I found out that I'm a legal adult due to the tournament and because of Sirius's will. I found out Dumbledore was my magical guardian. I also found out that he was blocking all of my mail from Gringotts. I am now Lord Harry James Potter Evans Black Slytherin. Though not publicly. Listen you can't tell anyone this. I also need to show you something."

"Promise Harry, I won't say anything." One down

"I won't either Harry." Two down.

I took down my glamour and glasses to show my real self. "As you can see I underwent some changes as well."

"Woah, nice Harry!" Neville said in slight awe. Though Luna reaction was a bit different. She stood up and walked over to me until she was right in front of me. What in the world was she planning on doing? She moved one of her hands to my bicep and squeezed. She then moved her hands up to my short hair. They ran her hands through the top making it even more spiked that I had it to begin with.

"Very nice, it looks good on you!" And with that she went back to sit down. Very forward was Luna's thing.

"So anyway I want you guys on my side, I want to beat Voldemort and Dumbledore. Are you with me?"

"Yes, I will always be with you Harry." One down

"Of course." Two down

After that we just talked about the summer and what we all did. I also noticed some time during the ride just how close they were sitting but decided not to question it. The rest of the ride was pleasant. I didn't see Ron or Hermione for the rest of the ride but right now I was kinda happy about that. One step at a time. When we neared Hogwarts we all changed into our robes and got ready. I decided to leave my glamour down. It was time to make some waves. Once we stopped we left the compartment. We left the train and got on to the carriages. We were about to start moving when Tracey and Daphne jumped in.

"I must say Potter, I've never seen somebody get under Daphne's skin as quick at you." Daphne was obviously not impressed as she jabbed Tracey as soon as she finished talking. That didn't do anything to remove the smirk from Tracey's face.

"What are they talking about Harry?" Oh that's right Neville didn't know what happened before I got to there compartment.

"Well let's just say Harry bested Daphne at her own game."

"Do I even want to know what that means?" No Neville you don't.

"No you probably don't, though your more then likely going to be seeing round two right now" Um what did that mean? I got my question answered though when Daphne stood from her seat and moved over to me before sitting again. Except this time it wasn't on the bench but rather my lap. Everybody in the carriage looked shocked other than me and Daphne. I was going to wipe that smirk right off her face. She looked down at me and lifted an eyebrow. She was challenging me. She wanted to see what I would do. Let's see what she expected. I wrapped one arm around her waist and put the other on her hip and ground her down. Now the raised eyebrow looked rather curious and shocked more than daring. I continued for a few more times before the smirk came back. This time she started moving on her own repeating the same motion I was making before. Oh so that's how you want to play it. Just as we were arriving at the gates, I pulled her head down and pecked her lips before moving her onto the bench and leaving the cart. 2 Harry, 0 Daphne.

Back in the cart Neville, Luna and Tracey all looked stunned, as had Daphne.

"S***, seriously again?!" Daphne was not a fan of being bested.

"H-he g-got you a-again." Tracey attempted to say in between laughs.

"I take it that was what you meant earlier about besting her?"

"Yes Longbottom it was, and it was even better this time."

They all eventually made it into the Great Hall. On the way in Daphne shot Harry a glare. She wasn't the only one. Ron, Ginny and Dumbledore all were, while Hermione was asking a ton of questions. I guess they noticed Harry's new look. If fact most people had and would glance at him from time to time to see if it was really him.

Now things are getting interesting.

A/N: Now it may not seem like it, Daphne is the Ice Queen. Her actions in this chapter are caused by Harry. He challenged her to show him what else she can be other than the Ice Queen B**** and she is doing just that. She will have more sides than just the b**** and the flirt, just wait.

I was very unsure of the approach I took this chapter and I still am, please let me know what you think of the approach that I took.
