Bab 68: Gap Between Worlds
Harry responded by blushing. Daphne chuckled and said "Yes, very well done brother. If you continue in this manner I may not have to disown you. We will be having more lessons which include how to take a compliment without acting like Goofy and kicking then ground while saying 'Garsh'."
Harry shot her a glare for second before saying "You know my dear sister; you can be a right bitch sometimes."
Daphne laughed and replied "Why thank you Harry. I think that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me."
"What really bothers me is that I missed this for almost four years." Harry said as he waved his hand around.
Megan said "That was because you weren't raised in the magical world although everyone believes you to have been. You came to Hogwarts and acted completely different to how we expected, you didn't dress your station, and you hung out with muggle-borns and blood traitors."
Harry looked at her sternly and said "I've never heard you say something like that before. That sounded just like Malfoy."
She looked hurt and Daphne jumped in. "You need to apologize to her now Potter. The Weasleys are considered blood traitors because they broke the alliance all those years ago. Is it a nice thing to say? No. But it is the truth and she didn't say it in an insulting manner."
Harry looked at her and said "Please forgive my ignorance love. It seems you still have a lot to teach me."
Megan gave him a half smile and said "No, I know how you felt about that phrase and I said it anyway. I should have used oath breaker or something similar. Forgive me?"
Daphne huffed "Oh please you two. Why don't you stick your fingers in your tea to sweeten it?"
Megan shot her a look and said "You're just jealous so shut it."
Daphne said "Getting back on topic, if you had grown up in the magical world, you would have come to Hogwarts already knowing most of the students except for the muggle borns. You, Neville, and Susan would have been practically siblings and you wouldn't have come hoping to find a friend and latching on to the first people to show you any attention."
Harry looked hurt at that comment. "I'm sorry my dear brother but you came as an enigma to all of us and any attempt to try and talk to you was met head on by Weasley and Granger. We wanted to be your friend but were pushed away every time."
Megan said "In a large way, they're responsible for the way Susan acts toward you. She tried that whole first year to get close to you and was told that you wanted nothing to do with her. Neville is just Neville and won't show enough initiative to make himself heard."
In a very small voice Harry said "They were paid you know."
Daphne asked "What was that?"
Megan answered "Dumbledore paid Weasley and Granger to keep everyone away and to report every thing Harry did."
"How do you know?"
Megan looked embarrassed. "Dumbledore isn't the only one with loyal spies."
Daphne chuckled "You mean Dobby told you. Harry, I don't know if you want us to do it but we can use this little bit of information to repair a lot of damage that has been done over the last few years. Most of us can clearly remember the harsh words used to keep us away from you and we all know now that they never came from your mouth. If anything, our friendship proves it. It won't fix everything but I'm sure Susan will eventually get over her crush on Cedric and pull her head out of her arse long enough to be willing to have a fresh start with you."
Cedric added "Leave me out of this. I tried getting through to her just as much as Megan did."
Harry replied "You are the political one. Do what you think is right. I trust you and it's not like I can really hide anymore. I also recognize the fact that to succeed in changing the world, it would be better if I made friends now."
The parents were watching the conversation being held and just sat back and listened. It was their hope that they could expand their group and planned to assist them in whatever way they could. In their eyes, they were watching the future unfold as the kids embraced the dream of literally changing the world. Jonathan Greengrass watched his daughter with pride as she set a new goal for herself.
Lord Moon finally asked "Who's Dobby?"
Harry called out "Dobby."
With a pop, he appeared right beside Harry. "Yes Harry?"
"Have I told you how awesome you are today?"
"No but you did say Dobby was the best after fixing Master Cedric's bad kitty."
"These people want to be my friends. What do you say to that?"
