Text(Great Hall)
Daphne Greengrass was in a word concerned. After coming back to class from whatever Sirius dragged him to, Harry was completely quiet and when class was over he spent all his time in his room. Blaise tried to check on him on behalf of the girls, but he was pushed away by wards of some kind. The girls hoped that he would show up for dinner but that didn't happen either. Even his morning romp was a no show and that meant nobody knew what was going on. "Harry." Daphne sighed as she looked at the empty spot usually reserved for him during breakfast between her and another of the girls interested in him which in this case was Tracey.
"The paper is here." Flora Carrow pointed out and she watched as an owl delivered a paper to Julie Runcorn. Julie looked over the paper and her expression soured.
"Bloody hell." Julie cursed.
"What happened Julie." Lyra wondered.
"See for yourself." Julie frowned before sliding a paper to Lyra. Daphne peered over her shoulder and the moment she saw the headline, everything finally made sense.
Pettigrew Murdered
Recently arrested Peter Pettigrew was found murdered inside his holding cell mere hours after he was arrested and charged for his role in the attack on Godric Hollow that many thought lead to the Death of Lily and James Potter and the birth of the Boy Who Lived legend. This is particularly disturbing since Pettigrew wasn't in the usual DMLE holding cells as was reported the day before by our sources in the DMLE. Instead he was held in a special Unspeakable Holding Cell inside the Department of Mysteries, and it is only because of them that we know this has occurred. The DMLE is working with the Department of Mysteries, but this is an unprecedented event.
Everyone shuddered at that and even Malfoy was incredibly uncomfortable as the news circulated, "I can see why he's so upset. The person who betrayed his family was finally found and now he's been murdered. That would bother me if I were in his shoes." Julie said solemnly.
"It's much worse than that." Blaise frowned.
"Explain." Daphne said angrily.
"My Uncle by Blood is the Italian liaison for the Department of Mysteries, and he told me lots of stuff about these cells as a kid to the point that I've wanted to be an Unspeakable myself for years." Blaise admitted.
"So what did he tell you." Daphne wondered as everyone listened in,
"These cells are in a special location known only to the Unspeakables, and after Rookwood was arrested years ago, there was a titanic change made to ensure that their secrets stayed well, secret. Now, every Unspeakable is scanned daily for signs of the Imperius and any potions that may influence the mind or will. If something is detected, a master Legimens will scan the person's mind and determine who was responsible and they would. The area around the cells is blocked by runes that is keyed to only work for Unspeakable and the guards who have access to the cells are people who are immune to the curse.
"Then how the fuck was Pettigrew killed." Tracey said angrily and none of the girls disagreed.
"That's a good question. They would have to Imperius a member of the group to find out the location before erasing their memory with Obliviate since it would be detected once the member in question is scanned the next day. Once they got into the location, they'd have to convince one of the guards there to activate the rune and that would be that." Blaise explained.
"In other words, somebody went through a lot of trouble to get rid of Pettigrew. To get around those steps is quite the task" Julie frowned.
"Yeah but the question is why." Daphne frowned. The inability to get answers bothered the group and if they wanted to help their friend, the way to do so was obvious. Figure out who killed Pettigrew and turn them in. As for Harry himself, he would appear soon enough.
(Scene Skip)
Daphne walked down Samhain morning hoping that harry would be there despite having not shown up for class the entire day before. When she saw Harry sitting on the couch in his usual spot, it took all of her training to not run over and embrace him. With all the grace of a pureblood heiress, Daphne walked over to greet him, "Hello Potter." Daphne said using his last name to show how annoyed she was.
"I suppose I deserve that." Harry smirked.
"You do." Daphne smiled before sitting on his lap and then putting her head just below his neck as Harry adjusted so she could snuggle with him.
"I guess I made you pretty upset huh." Harry chuckled as he wrapped his arms around Daphne.
"Me and everyone else. You were gone for a bloody day" Daphne pouted.
"My bad. I had a lot on my mind and I kind of wanted to be with my family." Harry said as he kissed her on the forehead.
"So you left Hogwarts completely huh." Daphne mused.
"Yup. I was actually back home and used Gano to go there." Harry answered
"Clever." Daphne admitted. House Elves can appear in and out of Hogwarts though it's admittedly not a commonly used thing.
"Thanks and now I'm back to deal with everything." Harry smiled.
"Good. Everyone misses seeing you." Daphne smiled before leaning up to peck him on the cheek.
"And I miss seeing them." Harry replied with a wry smile.
Daphne wanted to do more but she wasn't sure, "Think we have enough time for another guest."
Harry rolled his eyes, "If you wanted to tell Lyra that I'm here go ahead." Harry deadpanned. He did skip over Lyra to be with his family, and he imagined the blonde wanted her time as much as anybody.
Daphne smiled before getting up and planting a kiss on his lips before leaving to pick up her fellow blonde. Ten minutes later, he heard footsteps and sure enough Lyra Malfoy walked over, "Potter."
"Malfoy" Harry replied cheekily.
"You realize I'm angry at you." Lyra frowned.
"And yet here you are once again trying to work around your father's little missive." Harry deadpanned.
Lyra blushed, "Shut up and put a Notice-Me-Not Charm on us." Lyra said firmly.
Harry rolled his eyes before taking out his wand and casting the charm. Now, even if some students came down, they wouldn't be bothered, "So. What's up." Harry wondered.
Lyra took a deep breath and decided to sit next to Harry instead of on him as Daphne did, "While you were out, we talked about who could've killed Pettigrew. Blaise told us that his Uncle is the Italian liaison for the Department and he knows some stuff."
"I see. So what did he suggest." Harry asked curiously..
Lyra told him about the conversation with Blaise, "So there you have it."
"He's pretty much right actually." Harry replied.
Lyra's eyes widened, "You know who did it."
"I don't personally know, but I know people who do." Harry answered.
"How!"
"Most people weren't aware of this, but my mom was… well is an Unspeakable." Harry revealed.
"What!!" Lyra gasped and Daphne was pleasantly surprised.
"Yup. She joined them during the war and her boss along with her group in the Unspeakables were among the group who knew we were alive. They're sworn to secrecy behind an Ironclad oath that will quite literally kill them if they revealed the truth." Harry explained.
"Where did she work." Lyra frowned.
"I can't say because it's very much need to know. What I will say is that her department knows exactly who killed Pettigrew. They've likely kept the information away from her because it's a conflict of interest, but she was able to confirm that the department knows who's responsible." Harry smiled. His mother worked in a group that was trying to find Muggle technology that they could implement in the magical world since unlike most wizards they're well aware of how much Muggles have advanced. They mostly failed but one of their greatest success stories is video monitoring equipment and they use it as a final security measure by the cells. It's protected by runes that convert magic to electricity and only the members of that group know about it.
"So the person will be arrested soon." Lyra smiled.
"Most likely, but it's complicated because the project is an Unspeakables secret and the politics behind using it as evidence is not something that Fudge will get behind."
"Of course it's that idiot holding things up." Lyra replied.
"Isn't your father his top advisor." Harry snorted.
"Yes but my father also thinks Fudge is a moron" Lyra snorted.
"So does my dad, and Sirius,… and most of the Unspeakables." Harry said flatly.
"Sad isn't it. The most powerful man in the magical world and everyone agrees he's a moron." Lyra sighed.
'Yep but Magical society is backwards." Harry replied.
"It is. Now stop talking and hold me." Lyra said with a blush as she flipped her legs onto Harry's lap and stuck her head in the crook of Harry's neck. Business was over and now she wanted to enjoy his company for a bit..
"That I can do." Harry replied with a smile as he wrapped his arms around her back and pulled her onto his body fully.
"Don't forget me." Daphne pouted having allowed them this time so far.
"Come on over." Harry smiled and Daphne sat on his right side, and it wasn't long before his arm was wrapped around her. Samhain was off to a good start and Harry finally looked to put this day behind him.
(Scene Skip)
Harry and his usual group happily walked back from Herbology, and everyone was in a good mood, but as they turned one of the last corners Harry saw a flash of brown hair before Hermione Granger crashed into her before falling to the ground. Thanks to years of training Harry was fine but Hermione was flat on her face, "You okay there Hermione." Harry said softly as he reached for her.
Hermione looked up and even the slightly annoyed looks from the Slytherin girls faded when they saw the tears in her eyes, "I'm so sorry. I."
"Quiet now Hermione. You look like you've had quite the cry." Harry replied softly. Recognizing the same thing. Something happened and he needed answers.
"Why bother. She's just a filthy mudblood." Draco shouted as he walked by with his crew.
Harry and his group scowled as he saw Hermione's expression get worse, "Hermione focus on me. Got it." Harry said in a stern tone.
"Right" Hermione replied and focused on Harry.
"Now let's find a classroom and talk. Daphne Tracey come with me. The rest of you go back and we'll see you soon" Harry said firmly.
"Right" Blaise nodded as did everyone else. Harry could handle this.
The girls led them over and Daphne decided to take over as far as Hermione's wellbeing, "Deep breath's Granger. You need to relax okay." Daphne said calmly.
"Thanks" Hermione replied as they walked around.
"There's an empty classroom over here. Let's go." Tracey said calmly. The trio brought Hermione over and Tracey grabbed a chair from the desks nearby and let her sit down to gather themselves.
"Once you're ready. Tell us what happened." Daphne said softly. She dealt with this with Tracey, so she knew how to handle Hermione.
"Thank you." Hermione said softly and she began explaining herself. Apparently she was in Charms, and they were working on the levitation charm. She noticed that Ron Weasley was pronouncing it wrong and tried to help him. He was frustrated and insisted she do it. When she did Ron was visibly annoyed, and she decided to leave it at that. Then when class ended, he complained to Dean Thomas that she was a nightmare, and she just ran away crying.
"More evidence that Ron Weasley is just plain unpleasant." Daphne scowled.
"Yeah. Perhaps it's time we had a talk with Professor McGonagall." Harry frowned.
"No. I just. I guess this is no different." Hermione frowned.
"Explain." Tracey scowled. She was used to bullying because of her half-blood status and while Daphne helped her, it was obvious Hermione didn't have anybody.
"I've always been smarter than everyone and I'm used to my classmates being upset about it. I really thought a school of magic would be different." Hermione sighed.
Daphne was about to respond when Harry smiled, "I think you may have underestimated our dear school." Harry replied.
"What do you mean." Hermione said curiously.
"Well, I can hear two people who are calling for you. I believe it's Lavender and Parvati." Harry smiled.
"How the hell do you know that." Daphne frowned.
"I have extremely good hearing." Harry replied..
Daphne sighed, "Well, let's bring you to them and then have them go with you to McGonagall. We don't want Weasley giving good wizards a bad name." Daphne smiled.
Hermione was glad for the help, but she was also curious, "Why are you helping me. I'm a Gryffindor and you're Slytherin."
"Not all Slytherin's are conceited assholes. Malfoy and his goons yes, but most of us are actually good people." Daphne said bluntly.
"But I'm a Muggle and."
"I'm a half-blood and so is Tracey. Like Daphne said, there are some good wizards out there just trying to enjoy life." Harry said warmly.
Hermione brightened up at Harry's words, "Thanks." Hermione smiled and they got up.
As they walked out it didn't take long to find Lavender, "Hermione!" Lavender said happily as she ran over and embraced her. Parvati wasn't far behind, and she was glad that things had worked out.
"Hey guys." Hermione said bashfully not used to this kind of thing from anybody outside her parents.
"Listen. Ron is a prat, and everyone knows it. He's just jealous because you're extremely smart." Lavender frowned.
"Don't pretend that you don't have issues with me also." Hermione pointed out.
Lavender smiled, "I do but that doesn't mean I won't help you against pricks like Weasley." Lavender countered.
"In Hermione's defense, Tracey is my best friend, and she drives me nuts sometimes. It's a women thing I swear." Daphne smiled.
"Fine. Let's go." Hermione said happily.
"Yeah. First stop, McGonagall's so we can make sure Ron learns his lesson." Parvati grinned.
"Yeah. We lions stick together even if it's against one of our own." Lavender smiled.
"We'll leave you to it." Harry said having stayed back until now.
Hermione turned towards them, "Thank you." Hermione said with hope in her eyes.
"Welcome." Harry replied and everyone went their separate ways.
(Scene Skip)
Harry and the group smiled as they relaxed for the Feast and everyone was in a good mood until Professor Quirrell ran in with a panicked look on his face, "TROLL IN THE DUNGEON! Thought you should know." Quirrell shouted before fainting.
Immediately there was panic all around and Dumbledore fired a loud bang from his wand, "Silence. Now students please relax, and the Prefects will escort you to your dorms." Dumbledore shouted.
Harry heard the Professor's words and widened his eyes. Before anybody could even blink Harry had cast a Sonorous charm, "ARE YOU INSANE!" Harry shouted causing everyone to focus on him.
"Potter!! That will be 100 points from Slytherin and detention for the next month." Snape roared.
Harry glared at Snape because this was a huge goof on him, "So I lost 100 points for being upset that we're being sent to the exact place where the Troll is supposed to be, good to know." Harry said icily.
Harry's words stunned the Great Hall as staff and student alike realized what he was getting at including Dumbledore and Snape the latter of whom was horrified, "I apologize Mr. Potter because you are correct." Dumbledore replied politely though if you had been looking at him you'd have seen an annoyed look on his face.
"100 points to Slytherin Potter and no detention." Snape said angrily though this was mostly anger at himself for missing something so obvious.
"Thank you both and since everyone is much calmer, might I make a recommendation. This school has countless paintings that watch things all the time. Surely we can't use them and the ghosts to find the troll before sending people to fight him that actually stand a chance."
"Excellent suggestion. GHOSTS OF HOGWARTS. FIND THE TROLL AND REPORT TO ME IMMEDIATELY." Dumbledore shouted. All of the sudden multiple ghosts appeared and started to fly away as everyone waited to find out where the troll was hiding
Harry breathed a sigh of relief and realized he owed an apology also, "Sorry for calling you insane sir." Harry said before cancelling the spell.
Dumbledore gave a half-smile, "That's alright Mr. Potter. I wasn't thinking things through when I thought of that." Dumbledore said quickly. Though his words seemed thoughtful he had an annoyed expression on his face.
"Also Mr. Potter that's 25 points for an excellent Sonorous Charm." Flitwick smiled.
"Thank you sir." Harry beamed.
Everyone sat at their spots as the ghosts did their work and it was Nearly Headless Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor who found them.
"Professor Dumbledore the troll is no longer in the dungeon's. It's over by the first floor girl's bathroom." Nicholas said calmly.
'Thank you Sir Nicholas. Filius, Severus, we will go and take down the beast." Dumbledore ordered.
"Yes sir." Snape and Flitwick said firmly. As the two left Harry could only frown.
"Something wrong Harry." Daphne frowned.
"Yes. That troll arrived in that area pretty quickly." Harry pointed out
Daphne frowned, "The dungeons aren't incredibly far from there and Quirrell did run."
"About that he." Harry started to say but out of the corner of his eye he saw Hermione walk over with Lavender and both girls had almost haunted looks on their faces as they approached him.
"I owe you a thank you Harry." Hermione said with a bit of fear in her voice.
"For what exactly." Harry wondered.
"The bathroom that the troll is nearby. I was running towards it when I ran into you guys." Hermione revealed.
"Oh?" Harry said blankly.
"Yeah. I probably would've been crying for some time if not for you getting involved." Hermione admitted.
Harry looked confused but Daphne was horrified, "So there's a distinct possibility." Daphne gasped.
"Yes. That I would be in the path of that troll and have no idea."
"I see." Harry said with a bit of horror himself.
"It's nice to see that some guys in Slytherin are genuinely good people." Lavender smiled.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." Blaise teased.
"My bad Blaise but Slytherin's have a rep and Harry's proof not to take it seriously." Lavender added.
"Every dorm has a rep and frankly it's stupid. Slytherin is the house of resourcefulness and cunning. Traits that are only bad when it's used against you." harry smiled.
"I'll remember that." Hermione smiled as did Lavender.
"Good. Now let's all relax since today has ended up being far more interesting than all of us planned." Harry said plainly.
"Agreed." Lavender smiled and the girls walked back.
"Harry Potter strikes again." Blaise smiled.
"All I did was run into the girl. Daphne and Tracey talked to her." Harry shrugged.
"Whatever. Let's relax until the Professor's get back." Blaise smiled.
"Agreed.' Harry said calmly and things calmed down as they waited for the teachers to return.
Thirty minutes later Dumbledore Flitwick and Snape came back and while t Dumbledore and Flitwick were sporting minor injuries, the same could not be said for Snape who seemed very annoyed for some reason. Regardless, the chaotic Halloween was over and now he could focus on an enjoyable weekend.
(Scene Skip)
Harry walked into the Prefect Bath to find Tonks waiting for him on the far edge with a smile wearing a black bikini top showing off her breasts in their natural D cup size with the rest of her body hidden, "After the long few days you've had, I would think you wanted to get some sleep." Tonks said with an odd expression. She was aware of his meeting with his family and knew that he was exhausted to say the least. The fact he wanted to meet with her the day after the troll incident was telling and concerning. Susan said that she might sleep in herself, and Tonks understood completely. Yesterday was an absolute fiasco for Hogwarts and there were plenty of questions that needed to be asked.
"I can sleep when things don't stink so badly." Harry replied even as he snapped his fingers changing into a pair of swim trunks.
"Isn't that why we take baths." Tonks teased.
Harry gave his cousin and lover a flat stare, "You know what I mean Nym."
"Oh yeah. Hopefully the order to arrest whoever killed Peter comes soon." Tonks smiled as Harry approached. Instead of going for his usual snog, Harry relaxed next to her.
"If that was the only problem, I'd be quite happy." Harry replied.
Tonks scowled, "You mean that troll yesterday."
"Yup. Something about that felt extremely odd." Harry sighed.
"More than something. I've been in the Forbidden Forest more than a few times in my day, which is why I know that Mountain trolls don't live there. Considering that the barriers around Hogwarts prevent outside creatures from showing up, there's absolutely no way that a troll should've gotten onto the grounds much less into the school."
"Which means it was let in and suspect number 1 is clear." Harry frowned.
"Yup. The DADA teacher whose actions make even less sense the more you think about them." Tonks explained. Instead of using the various resources of the school to alert Dumbledore, he ran and allowed the troll to move around. If Harry hadn't stopped the students from leaving, it would've been utter chaos.
Harry didn't like that at all, "Let's assume Quirrell let the troll in. The first question we need to answer is why." Harry frowned.
"That's not the first question. Dumbledore is capable of monitoring everything happening at the school. There's no way a troll even getting into the building shouldn't have escaped his notice. Plus that whole shtick about sending us back to the dungeons was shockingly careless." Nym pointed out.
"Unless it wasn't." Harry frowned.
"What are you thinking Harry/" Tonks said nervously. To suggest that Dumbledore intentionally messed up is shocking.
"It's just… I find it hard to believe that Dumbledore would so carelessly forget that Slytherin lives in the dungeon." Harry replied.
Tonks narrowed her eyes, "You think it's on purpose huh." Harry smiled.
"Yes I do. I think he was going to let the students run into the troll and after we struggled for a bit, come in and save everyone." Harry replied.
Tonks looked horrified, "Would he really stoop so low."
"Considering what he planned to do to me the night Voldemort attacked, nothing would surprise me." Harry frowned.
Tonks swore because Harry was right. Dumbledore could and would do anything to serve his self-interest, "So what now." Tonks wondered.
Harry smiled, "To quote your cousin Draco, my father will hear of this." Harry smiled.
Tonks chuckled herself, "Fine by me, but first we need to catch up and since Susan isn't here, we can truly enjoy ourselves." Tonks smiled as she swung her leg over Harry's so she could straddle his waist."
"Sounds like fun. Hope you're not doing anything too intense today." Harry smiled as he reached for Tonk's top and pulled it away. Fucking his cousin would be a nice distraction after everything that happened.
(Scene Skip)
"Harry can we talk." Susan Bones asked despite struggling to look him in the face as they left History of Magic.
"Of course." Harry replied before turning to his girls. "See you guys at the dorm." Harry said calmly.
"Sure" Daphne smiled before catching him off guard and kissing him on the cheek an action that caused Susan to blush even more.
Harry gave Daphne a hard look before focusing on Susan who seemed to have an impossible time looking at him now, "Let's find somewhere private to talk. I'm sure Professor Binns wants us to leave." Harry smiled.
"Okay" Susan squeaked.
Harry wasn't shocked by Susan's squeak, but it was something to pay attention to as they found a classroom a few doors down that wasn't being used by anybody. Harry walked in and Susan still had trouble looking at him, "So. What's on your mind." Harry wondered.
Susan took a deep breath clearly needing to gather herself, "What do you think about Dumbledore." Susan wondered.
"Why do you ask?"
"As you know, my aunt is the head of the DMLE and a part of me wants to tell my aunt about what happened last night. The problem is that according to Aunty, Dumbledore has a history of using his position as the Chief Warlock to dismiss investigations like this and a troll entering the Dungeon's is something the DMLE would certainly look into"
Harry frowned, "So you want to tell her but you're afraid that it'll be pointless." Harry surmised.
"Not just that. I'm… afraid she'll pull me out of Hogwarts. She never trusted Dumbledore and considering everything that happened with your parents, I'm sure she trusts him even less. I'm afraid that if she hears about this, she'll pull me out and… never mind." Susan said quickly.
Harry wanted to tease her very much, but he could tell this was a real concern. "As far as not telling your aunt, I'm afraid that ship has likely sailed already." Harry frowned.
"What!" Susan gasped.
"I heard quite a few Slytherin's say that they were going to tell their parents including Draco who was furious that Dumbledore would put them at such a risk. There's no way she won't know by the end of the day if she doesn't already.'
Susan slumped, "I see."
Harry could tell something was wrong, "Susan. What's really on your mind because something else is clearly bothering you." Harry frowned.
"Am I… am I not good enough." Susan asked nervously as she finally looked at Harry.
"What do you mean?" Harry wondered
"It's just… I remember how you were with Dora that day that I first watched you guys and yet when I join you two for baths it's completely different. Like I'm just a third wheel.
Then there's what you and Lyra were doing during Binns class and… EEP." Susan cursed because she didn't mean to say anything about that.
She was bored listening to Binns and looked over at Harry just to notice that Lyra had swapped spaces with Tracey, and the area around where Harry was sitting was slightly off. She swore she could see a figure of Harry with his legs spread and somebody in between and with her knowledge she knew what was taking place.
Harry chuckled, "I would've thought a disillusionment charm was good enough, but I guess not." When Lyra asked to help pass the time in Binns class with a blowjob he was pleasantly surprised, but he wasn't going to say no. Wandless Disillusionment charms were his specialty also. The fact Susan not only looked over but realized what was happening was impressive.
Susan blushed, "Yeah. I couldn't believe that you'd do stuff like that in class."
"It was something we could only do in Binns Class. The few that aren't are so focused on notes that they wouldn't see me in the back of the room. I guess you weren't one of them." Harry chuckled.
"I…"
Harry put up a hand, "I don't mind. Lyra might be annoyed but what she doesn't know won't hurt her." Harry mused.
"Then there's the fact that Daphne kissed you so easily. I don't get it, are you just leading us all along." Susan complained.
"It's complicated." Harry frowned.
"Then uncomplicate it. I like you Harry and seeing you with those girls is annoying." Susan shouted with a blush on her face catching Harry off guard.
"Well I'm glad to know you like me but you're far from the only one Susan. Daphne Tracey Lyra and a few other snakes also. Plus Tonks." Harry replied.
"I get that, but what do they have that I don't." Susan said angrily.
Harry couldn't be happier if he tired, "Absolutely nothing. In fact, of the girls who I know like me, I'd put you third behind Nym and Daphne." Harry explained.
"What!" Susan blushed not expecting that.
Harry smiled before cupping her cheek. He'd be an idiot not to take advantage, "You are an absolute treasure Susan and while you have a little baby fat left, it's not enough to be uncomfortable and your body is amazing." Harry replied. Susan was a bombshell to say the least and she'd only get more beautiful.
"But… but." Susan stammered.
"The reason I do things like that with them is because they're comfortable with it. I could tell that you were on the shy side, and I didn't want to force you into anything. Tonks understands that so we keep our friendliness but also hold back on the other stuff when you join us" Harry replied pulling his hand away.
"So you like me also." Susan blushed.
"I very much do, and I'd love for us to do things like what I do with Daphne Lyra and Nym, but only when you feel you're ready." Harrys smiled warmly.
Susan blushed again, "In that case. Can I kiss you." Susan asked nervously deciding to take a massive step.
"I thought you'd never ask." Harry smiled as he wrapped his arms around Susan's waist and pulled her into his body smashing her breasts against his chest before pecking her on the lips briefly as he held her in his arms. It was a chaste kiss by his standards but good enough.
Susan smiled glad that her feelings got through, "I hope we get to do that a lot more." Susan smiled.
"Oh we will and maybe when you're ready. You can try what Lyra did." Harry smiled.
Susan blushed because she wasn't quite there yet, "Give me some time." Susan admitted. She wanted to do stuff with Harry, but she wasn't quite ready to do it yet.
"We've got 7 years to work with. I've got all the time in the world." Harry reminded her.
"Sounds good.' Susan smiled. The pair held each other for a bit longer before pulling away and then making their way back to their respective dorms glad that things were resolved.
Notes:• Early Ron Weasley was an absolutely horrific character and while he did change in the books it's easy to forget that. Case and point Halloween Year 1.
• With Harry not as Ron's friend, I think his bad points are also emphasized hence why Lavender and the girls are more supportive.
• Halloween the first year was an utter disaster and Manipulative Dumbledore lovers feed on mistakes like that because it is inexcusable.
• Harry's baths with Tonks are supposed to be Monday and Friday hence the way things set up this chapter, but I apologize if I haven't been consistent with it thus far.
• With this chapter marks Susan's entry into the harem and those bath's I mentioned are going to escalate from here.
• A few comments last chapter were critical of how I let Lucius pull off what he did. Well, I'll leave it at this. Magic allows us to do some crazy things, and money is powerful in this universe. Otherwise Lucius and the others would be in Azkaban. I understand the criticism and respect you guys for it.
