⨳⨳※※※~WELCOMING COMMITTEE~※※※⨳⨳
Hogwarts was in chaos!
This Chaos was the result of the ongoing preparations for the event that was taking place after 200 years. The International National Tournament and as a host of the tournament this school of Britain had a responsibility to put the best foot forward.
Right now all students from 5th year and up along with all professors were in the Great Hall just after breakfast when Headmaster stood up and made his way to the podium starting:
"A very warm morning to you all! Now that we are ready for the day with our bellies full, I would like to inform you about the Students Committee." Taking a pause he saw the children chatter among themselves."The committee will be a body of student volunteers, which will be formed to help faculty, Aurors, Ministry Associates, and ICW representatives through the time of their stay."
"Now, there are perks to joining the committee. First, 7th-year students will be given the perks of admission to Auror Academy if they volunteer and impress the Auror they are assigned to along with having NEWTS to pursue that career path. Those who wish to pursue a career in ministry will be given an internship at the department of their choice and those who wish to further studies will be given a personal recommendation letter from any staff member of their choice."
This caused mutters and whispers of excitement among the 7th-year students. "For 6th and 5th-year volunteers, they will be considered for the internship in ministry, ICW, and St. Mungos. It will be a full-time internship for the 6th year while summer internships for the 5th year. But before you get excited know these once you are on the committee you won't be able to divulge any secrets about tournament tasks to any, as you will be under oath not to."
"Those who wish to volunteer please register your names to your Head of the House. To the Dueling team members I would like to inform them that they are exempted from year-end exams, now I have taken enough of your time, good day to all of you," he ended jovially before stepping down from the Podium.
Harry looked around at his friends only to find Hermione looking downtrodden with a pout adorning her face. He snorted, saying, "You think about joining the committee 'Mione?"
She looked thoughtful shaking her head. "No, I don't think I will cause if I do I won't be able to help you during the tournament in finding what the tasks will be"
She picked up her satchel of books and gestured for them to follow. "Anyway, come on, we're going to be late for Runes."
Daphne snorted saying, "Is it just me or does she look miffed that she can't join? cause until the Headmaster said that thing about the oath, I swear I saw her eyes twinkle for a minute back there."
Harry chucked as they made their way to the Runes classroom. "I know, I saw it too."
For the first hour, they learned theory, and then they were to practice the runes they learned in the theory. During the class, Harry impressed everyone, along with Professor Babbling, with his knowledge of the subject. He again credited Fleur.
For their project, they chose to make improvements on the communication mirror while also having an individual project to complete before the year ended.
After class as they were packing their parchments, quills, and ink pots, Daphne asked, "So what do you guys want to do? We have a free period until lunch."
"I don't know," Harry shrugged before turning to Hermione and Neville. "What about you guys?"
"I am going to Library" Hermione answered
"Greenhouse for me," Neville answered with his eyes twinkling with excitement.
"I am helping Professor Sprout with some new plants."
Harry smiled. "Cool, I can help you with that, work some appetite for lunch," before turning to Daphne. "What about you Daph? Wanna join us?"
She scrunched her nose, shaking her head, "No, thank you. You brutes do that, I will spend some time with Tracey."
Harry grinned and looked around only to see they were the last ones in the classroom. He stepped forward, snaking his arms around his fiancee's waist bringing her closer to him and capturing her lips with his.
The sudden action surprised her for a second, panicking her for another before relaxing as she closed her eyes and thinking 'It's Harry' as she kissed him back. It was a short kiss and left her wanting for more as she whimpered at the loss of his warm soft lips. With a mix of confused and dazed look, she stammered, "Wh-wh-wh wHat was that for?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "You looked so cute with your nose scrunched up like that I couldn't help myself" he turned towards Neville. "Come on mate let's go!"
The shy Gryffindor could only nod after witnessing the kiss as he followed Harry out of the class.
Hermione chuckled looking at Daphne's face "You look like a fresh ripe tomato"
"Shut it, Granger!" Daphne snapped before sighing "Okay now that he is gone we can talk freely"
Hermione raised her eyebrow asking "Oh and what do you want to talk about?" as she observed the tense posture of the witch standing in front of her.
Daphne took a deep breath "Okay let me start from the beginning. You know everything about Harry and what happened to him in the last 4 years even more than I do. So I want your opinion on something that both Susan and I are worried about"
Hermione gave a silent nod of affirmation and Daphne started:
"This summer after my parents met Harry, it was revealed that they were best friends with his parents. My father was part of the Marauders and my mom is Harry's Godmother! A fact that he doesn't know as she is not ready to face him"
"WHAT! But that's huge, you should tell him right now" Hermione argued.
Daphne nodded "I want to but it's not my secret to tell Hermione it's my mothers" she shook her head "Anyway, we are getting sidetracked. So as I said my parents were both friends with Potters. This fact to date is only known to the family which includes all seven of his fiancees and Sirius. You know what fedilius charm is right?" Hermione nodded.
"That makes it easy. Okay so just before it was cast, James Potter came to my father asking him to be the secret keeper and he agreed. But the very next day our home was attacked by Death Eater. We fled to Switzerland our native land, with me so far?"
Hermione nodded not liking where this story was going "Okay soon, events of Halloween happened, and as my mom was ill after giving me birth she couldn't travel so we stayed there until after Astoria, my sister was born. But even then my parents tried to find Harry in hopes of taking care of their best friend's son but they couldn't as every inquiry was blocked by….."
She was cut off by Hermione gasping with a hand covering her mouth as she said "No! But…. why? Why would he…. Why would Dumbledore do such a thing?"
Daphne sighed as she started pacing back and forth "I don't know Hermione, but I do know that he is not thinking about Harry's well-being, and as such, I don't trust him. But that's not all, I have so many questions, Hermione! Like a why Harry?"
" It could be anyone! So why specifically Harry? I mean I get that he is special in every way but that's now. What about 14 years ago? Why did the greatest dark lord go after a one-and-a-half-year-old in the first place? Why not focus on the person who is his opponent, Dumbledore who is called the Second coming of Merlin?"
"Dumbledore is hiding so many things! He is the Supreme mugwump of ICW so it was just a matter of saying a word and Sirius would have gotten his trail all those years ago! So why didn't he?" continuing her stride.
"He didn't even contact Harry's Paternal grandparents and look they were dead in the week before the Halloween of 1981. The reason for their death was called dragon pox a disease against which all the magical children are vaccinated according to the law passed by the ministry in 1870. So how can they die of a disease which they were vaccinated against? These are all the questions and the only person who can answer them is looking more and more suspicious as I think about it" She ended with a deep breath.
Hermione stood there stunned as she tried to understand the implications of everything Daphne just told her. She just couldn't believe that the man she admired and idolized may be the cause of her brother's suffering. But if there was a one percent chance of all this being right she was going to find out about it.
The silence reigned for two to three minutes before Hermione broke it asking "So what do you want to do?"
Daphne looked at her incredulously scoffing "DO?! There is nothing we can do Granger at least not now"
She took another deep breath regaining her composure "Look I told you all this so can help me and Susan to keep Harry safe until this tournament ends. After that, we will discuss it with everyone and try to get some answers"
Hermione gave a reluctant nod agreeing "You are right, doing anything right now will have the opposite effect as Dumbledore is the most important figure in the magical society of our nation" she shook her head sighing "I will help you keep Harry safe and I hope that what you are thinking is wrong."
Daphne gave a solemn "Me too, Hermione, Me too"
Greenhouse No.3
As Harry and Neville entered the greenhouse the former turned to later asking "Okay mate what are we here to do?"
Neville gave an amused look answering "Well we need to f-fertilize all the plants then we have to trim some of the M-Moondew for the p-potions along with that we have to cut all the Fanged Geranium. They are all grown so have to cut down so the new one can grow."
Harry looked around the magically expanded Greenhouse to see how much work there was he turned back to his friend asking "Okay let's do the cutting first." with a smile.
"You know, you don't have to do this, I -I can do it alone" Neville nervously.
He smiled as his friend reminded him of himself before he came to Hogwarts "Nev, you are my friend and I can't leave you alone doing so much work." patting him on the shoulder "If you tried to do this alone you will miss lunch. Come on let's finish this."
Both made their way to the looker room to retrieve dragon hide gloves and clippers.
"Okay mate you can start Fanged Geranium they are right there in the corner," Neville informed as they came back to the greenhouse.
Harry shrugged moving towards the patch of the fanged plants with clippers saying "Okay let's start."
Taking the hold onto the stem of the plant and was ready to clip it when he felt a certain feeling of annoyance and anger from nowhere, shaking his head he cut the flower and put it in the bag beside him.
The same process was repeated until he completed cutting all the flowers. When he was finally done he looked at the bunch of flowers before he sensed gratitude from nowhere.
He shook his head saying "Must be going barmy!" As he collect threw the flowers in the crate and moved on to the next. This time the flower tried to bite him but he backed away just in time to save his hand before cutting it with his other hands.
And so in half an hour, he was done with the cutting of Fanged Geranium. Lifting the crate he made his way to find Neville who was still cutting the Moondew saying "Hey Nev, I am Done!"
Neville turned to look at him with a shocked expression before asking "You are done?" as he looked at the crate in Harry's hand "As in all fanged Geranium are in that crate?"
"Yeah! Nasty buggers, those plants tried to bite me once but failed other than that it was fairly easy" Harry said shrugging before saying "Come on I will help you with this and we can be on our way to lunch," he moved in to help with Moon Dew plants.
Standing beside his friend he asked "So when is your date with Hannah"
"Huh! What I…I ….I don't know what you are talking about" Neville flushed red asking as he concentrated on his task
He gave a mischievous smirk "Mr Longbottom you may remember that you and I had a bet not long ago that if I face a full grown blast ended skrewt you will take Hannah Abbot on a date, so my dear friend you are still to hold up your end of the bet as I faced the skrewt in the maze."
Neville whined "Do I have to! I mean I don't even know if she wants to go with me!"
Chuckling Harry threw his hand over his friend "Nev you won't know until you ask her just go to her and ask her if she wants to go on a date with you. Look Nev I know what it feels like, last year I was sweating at the thought of asking Fleur out just like you are right now! But I did it anyway and see I am with her! It's just a matter of asking! So show some Gryffindor spirit and ask Hannah for a date on the Hogsmeade Visit!"
After a moment Neville stammered his question "D…Do Re..allyt th…ink sh..e will… g…o out wit..h me?" with a hopeful expression on his face.
Harry smiled " Think! I know she will! Just go for it mate!" patting his back.
Neville gave a small smile as he nodded saying "I will ask her before lunch" he went back to cutting Moon Dew.
After they finished cutting the Moon Dew, Neville got to cutting Dittany while Harry having finished his work with Fertilizer got made his way to lunch. He settled between Susan and Daphne with a huge smile both looked at him in confusion. He turned to Susan whispering "Just wait." before he started his lunch.
Susan asked "Wait for what?" but before he could answer they saw Neville following behind him and moving towards Hannah who was seating on Susan's other side asking "Hey Ha..nnah!" with a red flush on his face.
The brown haired hazel eyed soft spoken girl looked up with an equally red face before returning the greeting "Hey Neville!" which came a little squeaky.
Neville gulped saying "I… I was th…. thinking will you…..will you go on a d…" before he could complete she cut him off announcing "YES!" attracting the attention of the whole great hall towards them. She immediately blushed to whisper "Yes! Neville, I will go on a date with you!"
Neville froze up in disbelief before he gave a bright smile before he got nervous again asking "C… an I sit with you?" seeing the empty sit beside her. There was no verbal approval but a nod after which he sat down with a crimson face.
Besides them, their friends looked at the whole scene with glee and happiness for their friends. Susan turned to Harry mouthing 'Thank You' to which he simply nodded with a smile.
After lunch, the Gryffindor students made their way to Transfiguration with Slytherins for an hour learning the theory behind the 'Animabilis!" spell. It was to animate an inanimate object. But for a whole time, he saw Professor McGonagall sneak glances at him which he discarded just normalcy in the class while Daphne noted it under something to keep her eyes on.
After class Harry and Daphne were in the library to spend some time in the library. As they got settled in the secluded section of the library he asked "Hey Daph, did you notice Blasie was staring at me during the class?" getting a nod he asked again "Do you have any idea why he was doing that?" leaning back in his chair he added, "I mean he was staring at me like I broke his broom or something but why?"
Daphne shrugged saying "I don't know, you can ask him yourself when you meet him later in the Dueling practice! For now, let's complete our work 'cause I don't want to skip our archery session I am finally getting good at it."
"Oh I know, you couldn't pull the string of the bow in the summer. Now, look at you hitting the second outer ring! I am so proud of you Daph" he said sarcastically.
Daphne growled "Just wait, 'Mister-Perfect-Shot' I will beat both of you and Susan in no time! Now start with your work" last part was in a firm tone, and after getting a nod as an answer both started working on the assignment earnestly.
After an hour Harry and Daphne made their way to the Dueling Team practice but the classroom was empty. Harry looked around saying "Looks like we are fir….." It was all he could say before out of nowhere Susan jumped into his arms kissing him fiercely with his arms going around her waist on instinct.
It startled him only for a moment before he started kissing her back. His arms traveled up and down her back while her fingers were massaging his scalp. Feeling a little brave his hand down to her ass. Resting on her fleshy globes only for a second before he squeezed her right cheek making her moan in his mouth before she broke the kiss.
She smiled saying "That was for being a good friend to Neville and making Hannah the happiest I have ever seen her."
He nodded saying huskily "Well if I knew being a good friend to Neville will result in this kind of reward I would have done it so early!" he squeezed her other cheek making her moan slightly.
Susan slapped his hand away blushing "Getting handsy aren't we today?" trying to sound angry.
Harry smirked saying "Well how can I help myself in front of such a beauty that is my love" giving her a chaste kiss. She gave a dazed smile as he backed away she was about to pounce on him again when Professor Flitwick entered saying "Ah Mr. Potter ever punctual! Right we should wait for others to arrive until let's get then let's set everything up for the session"
Daphne chuckled seeing flushed Harry and Susan as they both nodded while the latter pouted as they started helping Professor until everyone arrived.
Flitwick got up on the platform starting "Good evening team, today we start our train for the tournament. Now I know that most of you are good at duelling that is why you are here. But I don't accept just good I want the best from you!" the half-goblin announced before saying "From now on we will work on, strategy, spell work, power control, accuracy, and imagination" before turning and conjured a slab of wood with a target board.
Turning back Flitwick informed "All of you will try aim and piercing hex and try to nail the bullseye without breaking the whole board. Captain, You're first"
Harry nodded stepping forward he took aim at and sent a silent spell. It pierced the bullseye but after a second cracks started to form in the broad from the center in a spider web pattern before it broke apart in pieces.
"Ah! As I thought Mr Potter had excellent accuracy but too much power! We will have to control the power but that's for later! Next!" as he reconstructed on her
Susan stepped up next and sent the spell it pierced the wood but on the 3 inner lines of the board. She huffed to which Flitwick nodded saying "Good control but can be better and we will have to work on the accuracy, Ms. Bones, Next!" as he repaired on the mos
Daphne came forward she looked at Harry who gave her a discreet wink which caused her cheeks to heat up before she took aim and sent the piercing hex at the target which hit the third ring.
Flitwick nodded. "Decent power and accuracy but not perfect, nothing that can't be worked on" as he repaired the target before calling "Next"
After that one by one, the whole team came forward showing their skills with the piercing hex. In the end, Flitwick conjured 11 similar targets saying "Now all of you repeat the process and remember not to break the target at the same time hit the bullseye! If you do break the target repair it and repeat. You will do this for two hours and continue doing it until you get it"
And so everyone started with the exercise trying to maintain control of power while trying to increase their accuracy. Harry was having a hard time controlling his power but his accuracy was still the best among his team.
After the session ended Flitwick shook his head in disappointment. "This team has a long way to go to be anywhere near the level to compete in the international tournament. The only one-half step towards being decent is Mr. Potter but he too needs a lot of practice controlling his power. You are unrefined and untrained. I can help you along the path but you are the one who will have to decide if you win or lose. I will see you tomorrow." With a grunt the half-goblin left, leaving the shocked Dueling team behind in his wake.
Harry sighed as he stood up on the platform "Professor is right guys we are not professional but we have the potential to become the best and win this tournament! We just need to practice and let's be real it's just our first practice session, so we can say that Professor Flitwick is overreacting!" making team chuckle.
He chuckled along before saying "Okay now here is what I am thinking about practicing. From here on the classroom will be open to everyone who needs to practice their dueling or have duels with a partner. If you can't find anyone, work with the exercises which Professor will assign just like today and show him that we are worth his time." the audience cheered on his speech before they dispersed and took their leaves.
Daphne smirked saying "Nice Speech love, very passionate and motivational" as they were leaving the class.
He smiled saying "I had to cheer them up. I may have not entered the tournament myself but all of them did and wanted to win. So I can't let them break before it even starts! Anyhow, let's get to the room we have the training to do!"
Daphne nodded vigorously saying "Yeah, I am itching to beat you today!"
Susan chuckled saying "Oh I want to see that."
Harry nodded saying "Yeah we don't see miracles every day, do we now? Even I am excited to see it!" sarcastically as all three started making their way to the seventh floor.
After reaching Inside the room Harry enlarged the shrunken trunk which had their swords, bow, and quiver of wooden arrows.
After they got ready for the practice Harry looked at Daphne passing her archery set "Ready to beat me Daph? Please have mercy and don't crush me, okay love?"
The blond witch gave an evil smile saying "Sorry Love but I sort of having to, it's a matter of my pride after all!"
Looking at their banter Susan groaned saying "Enough you guys! Let's just bet on it! Whoever wins will sharpen the other two's arrow for the rest of the month!"
Both turned to the redhead witch asking "Other Two?"
She shrugged saying "Of course, I am in too!"
Harry smiled saying "Okay let's do best out of three! Whoever gets 3 closest shots is the winner! Agreed?" getting nods from both of them he said "Ready?" as he took his stance other two following his lead.
"Draw!" he said drawing an arrow from the quiver on his back
"Nock!" as he placed the arrow and pulled the string back
"Fire!" as he released
Twang! Twang! Twang!
This repeated two more times before they all saw their targets. Harry had 2 in the innermost circle with one on the ring just after it. Susan hit a second innermost ring while her other two arrows landed on the fourth ring and Daphne had all three of her arrows in the second innermost ring.
Instantly Daphne celebrated while Susan groaned saying "Damn it!"
Harry chuckled saying "Well Sue, you reap what you sow! Have fun sharpening arrows" before he turned to Daphne "and Daph looks I win once again!" with a smug look on his face.
Daphne huffed "You just watch Potter! I passed Bones won't take long for me to catch up to you!"
Susan argued "Hey I am having an off day, okay! I will be better than you"
Daphne grinned "Oh well until you do that fact remains I am better than you" smugly.
Susan huffed and without saying a thing drew her arrow knocking it and firing it at the target hitting the inner ring and repeating it 2 times before turning to Daphne with a smug smile on her face.
Huffing Daphne fired her arrows at the target starting a heated competition between two witches which Harry watched in amusement. This was something he got used to over the summer. At first, he was worried that it will end up tearing both of them apart cause but Rose and Sirius that it was nothing but a friendly competition that was good for them to get better themselves.
Shaking his head Harry continued his practice, taking the arrow out of his quiver he took a deep breath as he knocked the arrow on the bow and drew the string before exhaling as he let saw where he wanted to go eying the bullseye. He released the string and saw as his arrow travelled the distance but instead of a bullseye stuck the 3 inches down.
Finally, fifteen minutes later they took their first break sitting on a couch that the room provided. Daphne and Susan were jerking their hands to get rid of the aches in their forearms.
Harry took both of their hands saying "Stop don't do that it won't work." before he took Daphne's hand with both saying "Here let me." he started to massage it in a downward motion with his finger.
Daphne gasped before wincing and moaning before saying "Oh that feels so good Harry your fingers are magic." she closed her eyes and threw her head back on the couch.
Harry chuckled with a light blush on his face as he said "Thanks for your compliment Daph" as he continued the massage. As he continued he marvelled at the milkiness of her skin under his fingers his hand automatically travelled up to her upper arm which was not part of the massage.
Daphne was very aware of his hands and which were now on her shoulder while other was another was near her right breast. Her breath started getting shorter and her chest started heaving from anticipation but along came to her insecurities and experience making her squirm a little before whispering in a quivering voice "Harry!"
Hearing his name he, looked up from his massage only to see Daphne looking uncomfortable and he stopped before letting her hand go and saying "I am sorry Daph I was just….. I am sorry." he looked anywhere but her.
Shuddering to calm Daphne looked at him with a smile as she turned his head and gently kissed him on the cheek saying "It's okay. You stopped and that's all that matters"
Harry nodded before giving her a peck on the cheek before turning to Susan and saying "Your turn Sue" he took her hand and started massaging it.
Susan winced before moaning "Ummm, by magic you were right Daphne his hands are something"
Harry slowly moved up her arm to her shoulder massaging it gently but firmly. Susan moaned as she melted under his ministration before she leaned forward and started kissing him with an abundance of passion. She moved into his lap straddling him.
It was not too soon before their tongues came into play as they moved together in harmony while their hands started roaming and discovering each other's bodies. She was playing with his messy moppy hair while one of his went to her arse cupping her cheek and playing with it while another was groping her supple breasts.
When the need for air finally got too much they broke the kiss with a dazed look and smile. Susan sighed in contentment "Finally showing some courage Harry! By magic you don't know how long I have wanted you to touch me like this!" before she resumed the kissing he didn't complain about it and continued his ministration and focused on her breasts. He marvelled at how soft and firm they felt in his hand.
Susan loved it she had dreamed of it ever since she saw him and started understanding the pleasure of the body. Harry was her crush she fantasized to do things to him and him doing many things to her. She couldn't remember how many nights and undergarments she ruined dreaming about him.
Now she was living her dream. Harry James Potter, her future husband was playing with her tits. Pair of tits that were the cause of fantasizes of almost all of the boys in school. She loved the warmth of his hands as they kneaded them and that made her ground her arse on his crotch.
She moaned feeling his hard cock against her pussy and broke the kiss. She gave him a naughty smile saying "Looks like someone is excited" without stopping her grinding.
Harry groaned under her and suddenly she stopped before getting off him. She looked at him with a knowing smile as she heard him groan but she was not ready to take that final step just yet she wanted it to be special for both of them, so she decided to wait.
All that while on the side Daphne was feeling left out so in a fit of bravery she took Susan's place in Harry's lap kissing him and starting to grind on him just like Susan. She took his hands guiding them to her breast and Ass as she pushed down the uneasiness she felt in her skin.
Harry who was too dazed to realize what was happening broke the kiss. "Daph stop it….." She didn't listen and kept trying to capture his mouth before he once again tried "Daph stop it you don't want this…" she simply said "Yes I do!" kissing him again.
Seeing as she was too far gone Harry took her by the shoulders and pushed her back, yelling "DAPHNE! SNAP OUT OF IT!"
She did and gasped before asking "Why don't you want me?" seductively as she was about to open her robes.
He caught her hand saying "Listen to me, Daphne Nora Greengrass! I want you like I want Susan and others. I want you like any man wants a woman! But I don't want you to do something just cause you are feeling left out! Just because Susan is comfortable doing something with me while you are not! I want to be with you cause you want it not because you don't want to be left out! You not being comfortable with snogging yet is fine! We can just kiss each other on the cheek, hold each other and cuddle! I don't need you to snog or shag me 'cause you feel like being left out I want it to be from my heart when you are ready and can enjoy it without flinching when my hands touch your private areas!
"I want you to be happy and not think about your bad experiences when you are with me. I want you to be confident in the fact that you are doing it by your own choice not cause of feeling left out" he cupped her face ending his rant softly "I will always be here Daphne, so take your time" as he kissed her on the crown of her head gently before hugging her.
Daphne shuddered before she started crying and sobbing on his chest about the unfairness of her life. Here she was with a man who treated his women like queens and she was among them. She wanted to give herself to him but she couldn't cause of another man who tried to have her by force and gave her issues from being intimate with Harry.
How was this fair? How was it fair that someone she hated scared her of intimacy so deep that she couldn't be with the man she wants to be with the most! How was it fair?
Susan felt angry and sad simultaneously seeing Daphne like this. On one hand, she wanted to kill the Malfoy heir for breaking the girl to her core on the other, she felt sad seeing how much that experience had made her unable to love Harry more intimately as she could do.
Harry stroked her head letting her cry it all out before he heard her asking "Can we cuddle tonight? I don't want to sleep alone today" in his chest.
He smiled saying "Of course, we can Daph, come on it's dinner time. Then we will go to my room to sleep for the night okay?" he felt her murmur something which he assumed to be okay.
He looked at Susan asking "You want to join?"
She nodded giving a reassuring smile and nodding at his decision. Ending their session they made their way to the great hall for dinner effectively ending their day early. Harry told Hermione about the situation which was the most awkward conversation for both of them.
Reaching his room Harry took both his fiancee to his room to sleep. All three of them fell on the bed with themselves in the middle with Susan and Daphne snuggled beside him. With a sigh, he closed his eyes.
At the same time in the Slytherin dorm room, Blaise Zabini opened the letter in the privacy of his room. As the boy anticipated it was from his mother
{Dear Blaise,
Last night yearly Zabini Clan meeting took place. Il Nonno wanted me to ask you about Harry Potter. The chatter about the revival of the Dark Lord has reached here but nothing solid. I will be travelling to Britain for the tournament by the end of this month to observe to decide if he is a potential ally or a potential threat.
Meanwhile, you are to befriend the Heir of Malfoy House and get the info about the Dark Lord. Arno wants information from both sides before deciding what play to make in a long run.
Be sharp Blaise.
Sincerely,
Your Mother}
Reading the letter Blaise's expression grew more and more frustrated before he crumpled the parchment and tossing it in the barrister burning it. It was just as he feared.
The Zabini clan was part of the Italian Nobility, from Monaco. The Head of the clan and Blaise's grandfather, Arno Zabini was nothing but a stone-cold man. In his mind, all he cared about was the reputation of the family and how he could jump the social ladder.
And the situation right now was a golden opportunity he won't pass, which Blaise saw coming the moment he heard rumors of the return of the Dark Lord. While his Stepmother was part of the family from his marriage to his birth father.
Adelina Zabini nee Ricci was an ambitious woman of endless persistence and a thirst for social status that was only rivalled by Arno, which was also the reason she was respected by Arno more than anyone. But it was no secret that both were doing their best for themselves and won't hesitate to stab each other the moment opportunity appeared itself.
It was an eternal chess match between them and the ultimate price was the control of the Zabini Clan. The clan was famous in the crime world for its spy connections which was also the reason that the Italian Repubblica Dei Maghi didn't meddle in the clan's business cause they feared the leak of sensitive information from the public.
But they weren't powerful to the most powerful family in the world that title belonged to the royal families all over the world.
Blaise was the same as any Zabini a quintessential Slytherin ambitious and cunning who hated to be a pawn in the game between his mother and grandfather. He wanted to control the clan and shape it in his way to expand it all over the world. His Grandfather was an old man who refused to think out of the box while his mother was a bitch who didn't care about the clan just about her gain.
Right now he had no choice but to follow his orders meanwhile trying to make allies loyal to him and only him. His first step to accomplish his mission was to gain the trust of Malfoy.
St. Mungos
Andromeda after finishing her part-time shift was now walking towards the administration desk office. The investigations for the search for Elder Potter's disappearance had hit a dead end at the ministry side. All they could find was the coroner who signed their death certificate back in 1981.
The name of the man was Jordan Garth who was a seasoned professional with no record of criminal activities or anything that may make them suspicious and normal life of a wizard, he got married in 1950 at the age of 20 to the witch named Beatrice Roth. They had a normal life until Death eaters killed his wife in a raid at Diagon Alley in 1970. After which Jordan retired in grief for 9 years before he returned to his profession in 1979 before vanishing in the air after 1981.
Andromeda hoped she could find a clue about where the wizard in question was. Cause that could answer every question they had but that itself depended on that man being found.
As she reached her destination she greeted them in charge at Reception saying "Morning Ms. Jensen!"
A brunette witch in white robes smiled returning the greeting "Morning Mrs. Tonks! What can I do for you this fine day!"
Andromeda shook her head saying "Well nothing major dear I just wanted to ask if Mr. Kent from the archive is in his office. I just wanted to look at some old cases for some research I doing for the Dragon Pox"
"Of course, he is you can go ahead and see him!" Jensen answered
Andromeda nodded before leaving and making her way to the Archive room. She knocked 3 times saying "Mr Kent?"
"Come in," a raspy voice came from another side of the door.
Andromeda entered the door which was arguably the largest room in the establishment lit with torches placed at equal distances and a candle chandelier that was levitating near the ceiling. She made her way over to the desk where an elderly man was hunched over with a monocle in his eyes reading a file. The man looked at her with an elderly smile saying "AH! Mrs Tonks, oh you are a relief to sore eyes! How can I help you?"
She smiled saying "Oh nothing to particular Mr Kent I was just looking for some unusual cases of the Dragon Pox, I will be fine by myself if you can just point me to where all the files related to this disease are stored?"
The older man nodded saying "Of Course dear they are in room number 173-ECD/DP! Happy Researching!" before he went back to the work that he was doing.
Andromeda nodded before starting to walk as she read the labels on the old wooden doors. It was 10 minutes later that she found room No.173 and so she entered the room filled with shelves and started looking for the E which took another 10 minutes before she found it. The archive was so massive that it was in a whole other wing, it was the fact Andromeda knew but now she was feeling its true scale.
It was not long before she found the shelf in the ECD (Extremely Contagious Diseases) and followed it until she found the wooden Box labeled DP in red letters. Taking it off the shelf she made it to the table in the middle of the room.
Placing it on the large oak table she tapped her wand on the lid of the box where there was a rune and channeled some of her magic into it. The box expanded to its original size which was a special trunk that had multiple compartments.
The Dragon pox disease was first observed in 1100 in a dragon reserve of Sokovia in the handlers of the Peruvian Vipertooths. Which then made its way out into the common magical society. It was not until the 14th century that a cure was developed which was followed by the discovery of a vaccine in the late 19th century which was mandated to be given as inoculations to the magical children at the age of 5 while muggle-borns were given vaccines a month before there the first year of Hogwarts at St Mungo's.
But that was not what Andromeda was here about so she went straight to the last compartment of the trunk which was marked 1980- 90. As she started to go through the names files from the year 1981 but something made her think there was nothing suspicious.
She frowned at the feeling of tingling in her brain but she still kept looking for the files with the name Potter on them and then the tingling turned to hum ending as a buzzing in her ears. She stopped, holding her head as she backed away from the table gasping.
'Okay so someone put an overpowered compulsion charm! Someone wanted to cover their tracks but they didn't Black prove it!' she thought before taking a deep breath and raising her mental shields to their maximum strength as she walked back over to the table.
Once again she started looking through the files and passed through charm like breeze but it got harder as she reached October 23rd the power made her dizzy but not enough to make her quit. Finally, she spotted the thing she came for.
But with her instincts on alert, she held other files in the stack back with one hand and drew her wand. She started the diagnostic spells and found compulsion charms coupled with aversion hex along with multiple deadly curses and hex to anyone who goes through the compulsion.
She thanked herself for her foresight. She quickly levitated it out of the compartment and laid it on the floor before casting {Finite Incantatum Maxima!} which she overpowered spell.
The file of the parchment glowed before it glowed in bright light that vanished after 5 seconds. Smiling brightly she took the file in her hand and opened it to read. Inside was the old parchment with details about the elder Potter Couple.
It was the normal patient report that noted their disease progress but there was no note of what potion treatments they were given, their admit date was the same as their death date which was impossible as dragon pox wasn't a disease that killed instantly! It prolonged the patient's life until their magical core was nothing but a dried well unable to produce any more magic at the same time while destroying their bodies inside out.
It was treatable with potions and constant care in a contained environment by Specialized Healers but the records of the elder Potter couple showed no sign of home treatment being given to them before the date they were admitted.
That was another red flag along with the name of the Healer who attended them, Robin McAllister, it was the name she had heard but didn't know much about. But she didn't have the time to muse so she duplicated the file using the Gemino spell and place the copy back in the compartment before closing the trunk and shrinking it.
After placing it back on the shelf she hide the file in her robes and made her way back to the desk where Mr. Kent was seating saying "Thank you, Mr. Kent, for your help, I got what I needed for my research, have a good day"
The elderly man nodded without looking up from his ledger saying "Oh your welcome dear, good day to you too!"
After that Andromeda made her way straight to the Black Manor without stopping to greet any of her colleagues farewell. The moment she stepped out of the floo in the Manor's new receiving area, she took a breath of relief. As she reached the lounge she saw Narcissa who was sitting on the ground with books from the library and parchment. Smiled at her sister greeting her saying "Good Evening Cissy!"
"Huh! Oh! Hey, Andi how was your day?" Narcissa greeted her sister with a smile.
Andromeda smiled back saying "Let's see closed some cases and helped some of the healers with treatments of their patients, so overall my day was good but tiring" she settled on the couch opposite the fireplace before asking "What about you, Cissy how was your day?"
Narcissa sighed "Nothing much just studying for my N.E. and Potions Mastery all day" she stretched her hands above her head lazily and sighed hearing the satisfying cracks in her joints before saying "Feels like Hogwarts all over again!"
The older black sister chuckled "Yeah it must but it's not the same with Ms. Pince droning over your head to keep quiet!"
Narcissa snorted saying "Yeah bad luck for Harry and the co to suffer under her regime!" as she started collecting her things and standing up "Well let me just get all this back to the library and then we can catch up, now that I think of it I will drag Rose out of there! By Magic! That girl is a bookworm!"
Andi nodded with a chuckled before saying "Yeah I will go and get freshen up in my room too! Where are Apolline and Gabrielle?"
Narcissa chuckled saying "Oh they are out, Gabrielle was cooped up in her so Apolline took her out for a stroll in the forest! Honestly, that kid is so energetic!"
Andi smiled saying "She reminds me so much of Dora when she was her age. But at least Gabby listens to Apolline, Dora was a menace!" with a fond smile before she stood up making her way to her room.
Narcissa made her way to the library and started putting the books back in place. After she was done with her task she looked around the library trying to find Rose but didn't succeed in her search and guessed the other girl was in the dungeon doing her sword practice.
So she made her way back to her room. Keeping her supplies back in place she walked towards the wardrobes and took out some more comfortable clothing laying them on the bed. She turned back to look in the full-length mirror of her room.
She looked at herself for a minute before her hands went back to open the zipper that held her floral white sundress upright down to the tail of her spine. As the dress sagged she took her hands out of the way long sleeves and shimmed out of the dress completely.
As the dress pooled at her feet she took it and threw It in the laundry basket where it vanished not that she paid it any attention as she was analyzing her body, it was perfect. It was the first time in her life that she admired herself in such an intimate way. Until a year ago she hated her perfect and beautiful body!
She hated to be a doll that Malfoy paraded around as he owned her. Trophy wife was the term that defined her life and marriage with Malfoy in the public. She lost her identity as Narcissa Black a person, human being, and a witch to the persona Narcissa Malfoy, the trophy wife.
But now she was once again herself, she was once again Narcissa Black who had a future and hopes of becoming something of her own. Now she had someone she wanted to share those goals with and someone who she knew would support her. Now she had a real family that was happy with her happiness and won't call her out for following her heart.
Now she had someone that she wanted to offer herself completely. Her mind to help him in his cause and fight against every man that almost succeeded in destroying her family, her heart and love to him when he needed a reason to smile lastly her body which was his to do with as he pleased.
She knew he was not like any other wizard. He was unique, he respected everyone no matter if they were witches, wizards, muggles,s or any magical creatures. He showed her the same respect over the summer and broke her wall of indifference with his kind heart and sweet words. Oh, he was terrible at flirting but where his skills lacked his natural charisma made up for it.
And he was physically fit, not too lean but not over muscled either, he was just perfect and she wanted him. Her body craved for him in ways she never thought it could before. The slightest innocent touch of his hands on her shoulder or her hands sent jolts of pleasure through her body.
Her mind started going places that could only be described as sinful and her body obeyed it. As if someone was pulling her strings her hand went to her wand which lay on her canopy bed and she cast a silent charm on her door of her along with a privacy charm.
Keeping her wand on the side table, she once again looked into the mirror with her imaginations running wild. She started breathing heavily as she thought about what her first night would be like.
He would be a little shy at first entering their room while she lay on her bed wearing the naughtiest little piece of lingerie that she would buy for only his eyes. She chuckled imagining his gobsmacked expression on the sight which would last only for a second as soon as lust would take over and his pants straining with erection.
He would slowly make his way towards her saying something along the lines of 'You look so delicious my love' or 'You are gorgeous, Cissa!' before taking her in a searing kiss.
She moaned in reality biting her lips as she tried to imagine the battle of their tongues for domination of one another. She would fail and his tongue would explore every corner of her mouth.
His hands would be roaming from her luscious locks to her neck, shoulders, and down to her chest, cupping her bra-incased breasts, as her own did in reality as she laid back on her bed.
He would start playing with her tits, cupping them, groping and jiggling them before brushing his fingers over her hardened nipple, teasing her and making her moan just like she did right now.
The kiss would turn into him kissing her cheek before starting his journey downwards following in the footsteps of his hand, kissing her jawline her neck suckling on the pulse points giving her hickeys along the way then reaching her collar born and finally descending to her chest.
She felt him peppering the upper half of her chest before looking up at her for permission to move forward just like the gentleman he was. She knew she would chuckle before unclasping her bra from behind permitting him at the same time to free her breasts out of their black confinement in real life.
She hissed as the cold air touched her brownish pink nipples but soon she moaned imagining her lover pinching her nipples and pulling her teat before releasing them so they get back to their original place and then suckling on them as his life depended on the milk produced by her.
She squeezed her right breast and released a spurt of thick milk from her nipple. It was a perk of being a witch that they could lactate all through their life after their puberty. She imagined her lover drinking her milk and felt that thought aroused her even more.
She kept mauling her breast in the heat all while imagining her teenage lover's mouth at work as she moaned saying "Oh yes Harry! Take it! Drink it it's all yours Harry! My milk is all yours!"
Her imagination went further as her lover now state with and full of milk started going down peppering her flat belly with kisses before reaching her destination, her panty-covered mound between her legs.
But he didn't move to the finishing line. No! He started giving attention to her legs. She felt him grip her right thigh and started kissing and suckling at its inside as he moved downwards kissing her knees, calf, and ankles before changing the leg and repeating the process on her left leg.
By this time both in her imagination and reality her knickers were soaked. The scent of her arousal was in the air. Her lover took both of her feet in his hand before taking both her toes in his mouth and sucking them. She moaned throwing her head back before thinking about the feeling of his fingers on her waistline.
She didn't even look down as she raised her hips giving him permission in her imagination while taking her panties off in reality too. Once the last of the fabric left her body she spread her leg and looked at her lover.
She saw the hunger in his eyes as he looked at her wet pussy. It was the same as the hunger she saw before he drank from her tits and knew that he was hungry. Hungry for her nectar, for the taste of her juices, and that aroused to the levels unknown. Her hand went down to her pussy as she spread her outer labia saying "Yes Harry! This is all for you, my love! I know how much you love my pussy juice so I saved it for you! I have not touched myself for a long time! So there is plenty for you to drink! Common love I can see you are hungry, don't waste time! Drinking your juice, Harry!"
And that would do the trick. She imagined him diving straight between her legs and starting to lick her snatch. His tongue went up and down slowly lapping all the juice while in reality, it was her finger pleasuring her pussy with long slow strokes. She imagined his sloppy laps stopping as he looped her hands under her thighs and pulled her towards him as he sat up and looked at her with a smile before going back at licking her pussy as if his life depended on it.
She felt his tongue entering her and swirling around tasting her inner walls which made them clench around it, she knew it was her finger in her pussy that her walls were clenching but thinking it was her lover's tongue was another pleasure.
After a few minutes, his tongue would travel up her pussy towards the part where her clit was peeking out of its hood and flicking the bundle of nerves which gave her a small orgasm. It was her thumb that was to be credited but she was too far gone in her pleasure to care right now.
Her imaginary lover then up the ante by adding his fingers to the equation. She felt two fingers entering her and curling to stroke g spot on the upper wall which made her back arch as she felt her massive orgasm building up in her stomach. The self-administration coupled with her fantasy was driving her towards the edge.
She then felt her imaginary lover leaning down and start sucking her sensitive nub while keeping his fingers moving his free hand reached her breast and started playing with it again. She started rubbing her clit a little faster than before while her left hand started to play with her tit.
She knew that her undoing was coming close and so did her lover as he slowed his ministration to prolong her orgasm. She took a breath of relief and huffed in frustration at this but yelped when he flipped her. She knew what was coming. Her lover was a man of taste and to him, everything she had was his to taste.
She assumed that this was his favorite part. If her tits were starters, her pussy a main course then her crinkled pink arsehole would be his dessert. The next thing she knew was the pain of a slap on her perfect unblemished arse cheek from his hand in her mind and her own in reality. Both made her moan.
She felt hands spreading her cheeks to reveal his price, her hole. She looked back to see the hunger return in his eyes and with all the desperation he leaned down to kiss her arse whole. She yelped saying "Oh you Naughty Boy! You love it don't you? My dirty little hole and its taste? Hmmm…" she moaned as she thought of him licking her hole as an answer.
"Hmmm…. Yes, you do! Yes, you love everything I have and it's all yours honey I know you love my little shit hole so much! It's all yours Harry do you like with it, kiss it, lick it, eat it, fuck it or destroy it! It's yours, Harry, it's… Hmmm….." She moaned once again as she felt his tongue enter her arse hole.
It made her come closer to the edge as he took his time eating her arsehole as if it was an expansive dish at a restaurant before he went back to eating her pussy and kept alternating between her two holes in a slow languid pace building up on what was a big orgasm to convert it into a body shattering on.
Finally, he entered the third finger in her already tight pussy and his mouth never stopped working her back hole. As her own hands sped up in reality his fingers did the same in her fantasy.
She started gasping for air as he whimpered and moaned feeling her orgasming coming closer with every second she bite her lips saying "I…. I am close Har…ry! Don't stop! I am very….very close! Then you can have you juice for today! You have to be ready my love this is a big one! It is hmmm…" as her body started withered and quivered.
"I…. I…. I….. AM CUMMING HARRRY!" she yelled as she came undone, she squirted her cum all over her sheets and her fingers coated in her cum. She slacked down in the bed in exhaustion from her self-pleasuring session. She had a silly satisfied smile on her face.
Finally coming out of her fantasy Narcissa went atomic red thinking about what she just did or rather what she wanted to be done to her by Harry James Potter. She never knew she had such kinks and fantasy until today. She wanted him to drink her milk and pussy juice along with eating her arsehole! And she even like him sucking her toes.
It was partly liberating and partly embarrassing that she wanted to do all those things to the fiancee of her older sister who knew she loved him. Shaking her head out of her orgasm high she stood up from the bed and looked in awe at the mess she made. She couldn't stop herself from wondering what level of mess would it be when her fantasy comes becomes reality.
Once again shaking her head out of such perverted thought she looked at her now cum covered night dress and panties before she levitated them to the laundry basket for them to be washed by the elves of the manor.
Next, she looked at her now milk-stained bra which followed the other clothes into the basket. Quickly casting a cleaning charm on her bed she made her way to the bathroom for a shower.
After about 20 minutes she came out of the bathroom in a fluffy white bathrobe and looked at the pristine-looking room with no sign of her actions. After getting dressed she made her way down just in time for dinner.
As she settled in her seat beside Amelia from across the table Apolline looked at the youngest black sister with an amused smile before catching her eyes and winking at her which made her go tomato and cause veela to laugh at her predicament.
A/N: Okay how was it? was it up to the mark? was it worse than before? Tell me I want to know it all!
Harry's unblocked core 55 (It didn't change since June. I thought about unlocking it during his vacation but then it came to me that he needs to acclimate with his current core first, so I scraped that idea)
