AN: Who should his next capture be? As main waifu has now been acquired, he needs someone else to focus on. Should he go for Daphne, keep things simple, or spread out and try to get closer to some of the other houses? Maybe aim for an older girl that has been introduced, such as Tonks or the Twins. There are also the Professors to consider.
That weekend was a pain to deal with, as due to numerous incidents multiple parents were coming to Hogwarts near simultaneously. For obvious reasons James and Lily would be here, both to check on their daughter and try to connect with me. Lucius Malfoy and Augusta Longbottom will also be coming to deal with the whole Remembrall thing. The situation with Tonks escalated when her Ex tried to force himself on her while drunk after his public humiliation leading to him having a broken pelvis, his left leg reversed, his hands sporting eight fingers, and somehow, all his hair being turned into fire. The only reason I know was that he was brought in to see Poppy and I had to deal with his burnt testicles. Never had I wished that I never healed Pansy more than when Poppy had me apply burn cream to another man's balls. This wasn't what I signed up for dammit! Anyway, due to all this Andromeda Tonks was coming along with Amadeus Thrung, some higher up in the Department of Magical Transport. The latter two were coming in as a Lawer trying to defend the interests of her daughter while the other was a government official trying to get a student expelled and jailed, while the rest were just there acting as guardians to minors. The only reason I know all of this is because I was stuck in a room with Rose, Danica, Neville, Tonks, All the guardians, Snape, and Dumbledore. Elias Thrung was still strapped in the Medical Wing crying about the burns. Honestly, why the hell did he decide to do all of this at once
Rose, upon being brought in by Snape along with Danica, immediately latched onto me, and has yet to let go. She was also glaring at her parents who were doing their best to attempt to kill Dumbledore with their eyes. Snape for his part didn't seem to actively hate me, more focused on spending most of his time glaring in the direction of my parents. Neville had attempted to come over and talk with us, but was held back by his grandmother, so he backed off. Danica just sneered at everyone, obviously not expecting to get into much trouble over a minor incident while Lucius just seemed mentally done with this whole fiasco. Andromeda was arguing against Amadeus in front of the Headmaster. And Tonks was glaring at the Ministry official.
Deciding that I might as well make a good impression, I managed to detach Rose from my side (she was pouting the whole time) and made my way over to the old crone that was whispering to Neville.
"Lady Longbottom, it is a pleasure to meet you, your grandson spoke of you."
Upon my greeting I saw her stop whatever she was saying to Neville, look at me, then at James, then back and scowled.
"So, you're Potter's brat, Neville informed me of you. Well, whatever it is that you wanted can wait, I need to speak with my Grandson."
Neville looked apologetic for his grandmother who shooed me away.
Walking away from the old woman I instead made my way to the 'Totally not a Death Eater' and his bitchy daughter. Upon seeing me approach Lucius turned to me and almost seemed to freeze, before schooling his expression in a bland look of contempt. Danica for her part openly scowled at me, but before she could start talking shit, I addressed her father.
"Lord Malfoy, I am Harry Potter, I have heard about you from your daughter, she is always so eager to bring you up."
The Malfoy Head glanced at his daughter, probably wondering what she had been saying about him.
"You know my daughter then, Mister Potter? I was unaware that the two of you were acquainted, or even that the Potters had a son."
Danica looked ready to interject, to deny being acquainted with me but was stopped by her father placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Well, I wouldn't say that we are really acquainted, we only had a singular conversation where she called me Mud-Blood, insulted the deaths of my Grandparents, and threatened my sister. She then loudly proclaimed that 'My Father would hear about this' as she was dragged away by a prefect. She has also been known to throw that saying around whenever she didn't get her way, so I assumed that you were already aware of me."
Lucuis was glaring at his daughter by the time I finished, probably never actually having been informed about any of that, or at least only told pieces that would make her out to be a fool. Danica for her part had paled, looking pained from where her father was now tightly squeezing her shoulder.
"As for why nobody knew about me despite the fame my family enjoyed, well that's because I was sent away by my parents only a few nights after the Dark Lord was vanquished. It was only on the Hogwarts Express that I was reunited with a member of my family, my sister Rose."
At that Lucuis stopped his glaring and was now staring at me with a hint of interest, almost biting the bait that was being dangled in front of him. Unfortunately, we were interrupted before he could ask me the important question.
"Malfoy, what do you think you are doing with my son?"
All four of us turned to see my father, James Potter, with Lily right behind him.
I can see why everyone always said that Harry looked just like James, as the man seemed like an older version of myself with brown eyes. Rose on the other hand was obviously just a smaller model of our mother now that I can see them next to each other.
Seeing them approaching I had an idea, one I knew would absolutely destroy the man in front of me, as well as give an enemy of his so much to use against him.
"I'm sorry, do I know you? Because I am sure that we have never met before in my life."
The looks Lily and Rose gave me made me aware that they know I know exactly who I am talking to, but to James, who I am meeting for the first time, it was almost like I had slapped him. Lucius looks like Christmas has come early, while Danica seemed lost.
"Harry, I'm James, your father. How could you not know that!"
Oh, he's just making this all too easy.
"Well, maybe because as I stated, we have never met. How can you expect me to know a man that I have never seen before? In fact, how can I be sure that you really are my father and not just saying you are?"
I was having a bit of fun with this, and I swear that Snape, who had been lurking in the background let out a small laugh. James for his part seemed absolutely distraught. He turned to his daughter, seeming to not notice the disdain she had when looking at him.
"Rose tell him, I am your father!"
She looks at me for a moment, eyes lighting up as I give a minute nod, and replies.
"Who are you?"
If this were an anime, I was sure that the man would have shattered into pieces, with how broken and betrayed he looked.
"Rose!"
And there was Lily, looking at Rose in shock. Figuring that I shouldn't let this continue for too much longer I let out a small laugh, drawing attention back to me. James looked at me confused, before he suddenly relaxed.
"Oh, that was a prank, just a prank. You two got me good, Sirius would be proud."
I let him have a moment, get over the fact that he had been pranked. Then I smiled.
"I still don't know who you are though, I wasn't lying when I said I never met you."
His panicked look was back but before anything else was said, a commotion at the front of the room drew all of our attention. Mine specifically went to the MILF that was still defending her daughter.
"This is outrageous, you are demanding that my daughter be expelled in her final year of Hogwarts and be sent to Azkaban for defending herself from being raped! And don't try to defend him, there were others who were there that saw the incident. You have no right to demand such of a witch who was protecting her chastity."
"Chastity? That's not what I heard. Apparently, your slut of a daughter has been spreading her legs for anyone that gives her a few knuts! Then she has the gall to curse my son when he tries to have some intimacy with his girlfriend without paying her for it."
Did this idiot know who he was talking to? Even I am aware that you don't insult one of the Black Sisters if you don't want your life to be ruined. Or ended, depending on the sister. Dumbledore seemed to realize that the situation in front of him was getting out of control and rose to his feet.
"Enough!"
One word, but everyone in the room froze, feeling the magic of a man that had battled two Dark Lords settle over them, well all except Rose. While I was still affected by this level of power, I saw Rose move in front of me, growling softly as she looked ready to attack the old man if he looked at us wrong. Again, why did he think it was a good idea to have all of us here at the same time?
