Capítulo 51: Decisions and Dreams
"I asked what you were going to do because my father wanted me to invite you to spend part of the summer at our house." Daphne said, smiling at Harry's shocked reaction.
"Is that really a good idea?" Harry asked uncertainly.
"What? Do you not want to see me over the summer? I see how it is, probably have some muggle girl already lined up for a summer fling." Daphne responded, acting like she was hurt.
"No! Nothing like that! I'm just worried your parents won't like me."
"Believe it or not you have already made a good impression, even on Astoria. Don't worry so much about it, just be yourself and you will do fine." she advised. "So is that a yes then?"
"I will try my best, but sometimes what I do over the summer isn't really up to me." Daphne nodded and accepted his answer.
"What about the other part, what you want to do after Hogwarts?" she asked curiously.
"I've never really thought about it honestly. I think I spend too much time just trying to survive to worry about the distant future all the time. Maybe I'll play professional Quidditch. Everyone seems to think that I'm good enough to make it, although after seeing Krum play at the World Cup last summer I know I'm not anywhere close to as good as he is. The only other thing that interests me is becoming an Auror."
"Really? You want to spend the rest of your life fighting evil wizards?" she asked, surprised by his answer.
"Well you know after you beat your first one you just develop a taste for it." Harry answered jokingly. Daphne swatted at his arm in response. "Seriously though, I think I would be good at it. And it would me nice to help make the world a better place."
"Maybe, but you would be working for the Ministry." Daphne reminded him.
"I hadn't thought about that. I'll just have to hope that by the time I graduate someone has replaced Fudge then. I can't imagine anyone worse. What about you?"
"I'd be happy with a lot of things as long as I am not just sitting at home being a bored housewife. That's what is expected of most pureblood females after all. I guess I will eventually have to take over the responsibilities as the head of the Greengrass family from my father, which mostly means guiding our investments and trying to improve our social and political standing, but hopefully that won't happen for a long time. There is one thing I've thought a lot about…"
"What?"
"My father always talks about how becoming an Unspeakable was the best job he ever had. I've thought about following in his footsteps. Plus there is the mystery surrounding the Unspeakables which I have to admit I find quite attractive." Harry smiled and realized that during the conversation neither of them had brought up the fact that they both believed Voldemort was still alive and would eventually find a way to come back. They would both be involved in that war no matter what else they did, so perhaps their plans would never come true. A war was brewing and there was nothing they could do to stop it.
"Don't think about it, Harry." Daphne said after seeing the expression on his face change. "You've got to have something to fight for. A happy future is a good place to start."
"I think my little vacation is over." Harry said sadly. "It's been nice these past few weeks not worrying about the tournament or forcing myself to train all of the time, but there is too much at stake to keep slacking off."
"I'll be right there with you, and so will Hermione if you let her. She's still desperate to find a way to make herself useful, you need to be a good friend and help her find it." Daphne told him. Harry knew she was right, Hermione was a great friend and he owed her that much.
"Ok. From now on you both start training in the Room of Requirement with me. And… I want to go back to my old training method." Harry added, knowing that Daphne would object. Judging by the frown on her face, she was about to.
"I understand." she finally said to Harry's amazement. "But would you do something for me first? Tell Dumbledore about it before you do. I may not exactly trust the old man but he does know more about magic than just about anyone else. I've never heard of anyone else being able to do what you do, and frankly I'm worried about you."
"Aww, you do care." Harry joked, trying to lighten the mood a little.
