Chapitre 69: Confrontation at Breakfast
"Hey, I'm a pureblood and I've heard of that expression. Don't judge us all because Malfoy is an idiot" Daphne told him off
"Hmm, I'm sorry dear" Harry kissed her on the side of the head "you're right, we shouldn't judge people by Malfoy. After all, if I was compared to Malfoy, then well…" Harry trailed off
"You think you're so funny Potter?" Malfoy growled
"I think I'm brilliant" Harry wiped some imaginary dust off his shoulders "if I happen to be funny as well, then that's just a nice bonus."
"You can keep making your stupid jokes, but I know what you really are. You're just a half-blood who thinks he's better than his superiors"
"That's a lie" Harry replied "I'm a half-blood who has no superiors. Even if I did, you're not one of them. I would never obey a girl like you"
"I'm not a girl!"
"Malfoy you spend more time on your hair than Daphne does" Harry looked Malfoy up and down "you're nails look like they had hours spent on them, I can swear that you're wearing make up and you usually always need two boys to protect you. You're not much without Crabbe and Goyle, are you?"
"Listen here Potter…"
"Thing is though, those two are pretty much useless outside of a physical fight as they have the brain power of my shoes and the magical ability of my shit. Is there another reason you like to keep them around Malfoy? Because they're your friends? I doubt it, your daddy probably had to pay them to be friends with you. Or perhaps you're just like the feeling of having two big boys looking after you"
"Shut it Potter!"
"Oh, am I hurting ickle baby Malfoy's fweelings?"
Malfoy had had enough, he drew his wand out and aimed it at Harry. Daphne, who had a better understanding of what Harry was capable of since he revealed his secrets, wasn't remotely worried. About Harry that is.
Harry snatched Malfoy's wand out of his hand before the blonde could even fire off a spell. Malfoy looked absolutely flummoxed, apparently the possibility of someone simply snatching the wand out of his hand hadn't ever registered in his brain.
"Is this what they're usually like?" Angelina Johnson whispered to Fred who whispered the question to Daphne.
"More or less" Daphne shrugged
"What is going on here?" Snape made his way over
"Potter stole my wand!" Draco pointed at Harry
"Malfoy" Harry looked at Malfoy as if he was an idiot, which in Harry's opinion he was "are you really stupid enough to lie when I have an entire quidditch team plus two lovely ladies as witnesses?" He tossed Malfoy his wand then turned to Snape
"You have something to say Potter?" Snape said
"Yes sir" Harry kept his tone respectful "the quidditch team came to thank me for that incident yesterday"
"What incident?" Malfoy interrupted, having not heard the rumour yet.
"Then" Harry ignored Malfoy , something which infuriated the boy "Malfoy came over and started causing problems. He then drew his wand and I simply snatched it out of his hand in an act of self defence."
"He's a liar!"
"Malfoy, unlike you, I can prove my statement with witnesses."
"The rest of you" Snape looked around the group before him "is what Mr Potter says true?"
"Y…yes sir" Rose spoke quietly
"Yes sir" Daphne nodded
"Yes" The Gryffindor quidditch team chorused
"Malfoy" Snape turned to Draco and grabbed him by the arm "follow me"
"But can't I have my breakfast first?" Malfoy replied
"No" Snape began leading the boy away
"I'm thirsty" Malfoy complained "can't I at least have a drink?"
"You can have the draught of living death if you don't shut up!" Snape snapped
...
The weeks went by in a rush, in the next Slytherin vs Gryffindor game the Slytherin's won by ten points, Harry took great joy watching Oliver tell the entire hall that Harry was the best seeker ever. The twins then helped him prank Malfoy, which was how Malfoy found himself entering the dinner hall one day with red hair and a shirt that said 'the newest Weasley'.
Lockhart was taken to court, Harry had his proxies attend on his behalf while Katie attended with her parents. Dumbledore was also there, which was exactly why Harry didn't want to attend.
The court wanted to give Lockhart the dementors kiss, but Dumbledore argued against that, saying that Lockhart should be given the chance to be redeemed. However, he clearly underestimated how popular he was as many people began openly shouting at him.
Andromeda and Lady Longbottom gave him a verbal slashing worse than anything the elderly man had ever experienced, needless to say Dumbledore lost quite a few supporters that day.
Lockhart didn't get the dementors kiss, but was sentenced to life in Azkaban, something people would argue was worse than the kiss.
Soon it was time for everyone to go home, the trio were avoiding Harry and he was okay with that. On the train he had placed silencing, locking and notice me not charms around the compartment so they wouldn't be bothered by Malfoy.
Once they got off the train, Harry noticed the Malfoy's. He saw Draco yelling orders at a house elf.
"Take my things Dobby" Draco ordered
"Hey Draco" Harry called, Draco turned just in time to find a sock had been thrown into his mouth. He turned red and spat it out.
"What do you think you're doing Potter?!" Draco demanded
"Do you need a new master?" Harry asked
"No I don't need a master!" Draco replied
"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to him" Harry pointed at Dobby, the whole Malfoy family looked at him and noticed that he was holding a sock.
"Master has given Dobby a sock" Dobby said softly as a smile made its way on his face "Dobby is free"
"So what about it Dobby?" Harry asked "Would you like to be my house elf?"
"Yes, yes" Dobby nodded and made his way over to Harry
"You've lost me my servant!" Lucius Malfoy snapped and pulled his wand out, that was when he noticed that people were watching him
"No Malfoy, you're idiotic son cost you your servant. I'm just the guy who gave him the tool to do so"
Lucius growled but lowered his wand, he turned and grabbed Draco by the ear and began leading him away, Draco protested about the pain the entire way. Harry had to resist the urge to laugh at the sight.
Narcissa Malfoy looked at him, Harry stared right back, he gave her a slow and dramatic bow. Not moving his eyes from hers, once Harry started standing upright she sniffed and turned. She walked away with her head held high.
"Dobby" Harry turned to the house elf "I want you to go and wait for me to call you"
"Master Harry Potter is so kind" Dobby said, 'unlike Adrian Potter' Dobby thought about how the boy had kicked and struck him when Dobby tried to help him.
"I'm not kind Dobby, I freed you because I promised someone I would" Harry replied "but now that I'm your master, I will take care of you. Go and come back when your called"
"Yes great master Harry Potter" Dobby said, and if it wasn't for the enthusiasm in his voice, Harry would begin to start wondering if Dobby was trying to be sarcastic.
Dobby popped away, Harry turned to find an amused Daphne and Rose looking at him. Rose grabbed Harry's hand, Daphne grabbed his arm and began leading him and Rose to her parents.
"Are we sure about this?" Harry asked, Daphne sighed because she felt like Harry had already asked this question a million times
"Yes Harry, please just stay with us for the summer. I'd feel a lot better if you were in our house rather than living in that hell that you live in"
"Hey, it's not that bad" Harry objected
"Harry, you're coming with me willingly or in a body bind, your choice"
"Oh, someone definitely wants to spend more time with her boyfriend" Harry grinned, Rose couldn't help but laugh a little
"Oh ha ha" Daphne said sarcastically "but seriously, I've already spoke with mum and dad by owl and they're fine with you two staying."
"You okay with this Rose?" Harry asked Rose, Rose frowned slightly but then smiled and nodded "alright then"
The three made their way to the Greengrass parents, Daphne's mum and dad were currently engaged in a conversation with Astoria.
Harry took a deep breath as he approached, he was going to live with the Greengrasses for the summer. Ah well, at least it isn't going to be boring.
