Bab 45: Common Room Chaos
"Yes, there have been many reports of a yellow eyed man in many muggle cases" Dumbledore took another lemon drop "this yellow eyed man has stopped muggings, crimes and various other things. The interesting thing is that these reports are at least forty years old"
"So, the person is likely to be a muggleborn" Snape deduced "and if we assume he started his, 'activities' at the age if twenty then he is likely to be sixty plus in age."
"Which leads to the next three questions, what was he doing in Hogwarts, why did he try to attack Quirrell and is it the same person?" Before Snape could answer a knock was heard.
"Enter" Dumbledore said, Harry Potter walked in alongside Professor McGonagall "ah, take a seat Mr Potter"
"Sir" Harry nodded and took his seat, Dumbledore sat in his chair with Snape standing on his right and McGonagall standing on his left.
"Mr Potter, do you know why we called you up here?" Dumbledore asked
"I'm going to hazard a guess and assume it's because of the over enthusiastic greeting between me and the Flight family"
"Over enthusiastic?!" McGonagall repeated with disbelief etched into her face "You two fought in the middle of the great hall like a pair of hoodlums and you went as far as to knock the other boy's teeth out and cause him to bleed! And you called that over enthusiastic?!"
"Yes" Harry spoke slowly "I believe I did"
"Mr Potter" Dumbledore spoke before McGonagall could say anything "what was the reason behind your fight with the boy?"
"It's just our thing" Harry shrugged "we've been fighting since we could throw punches, rather lucky he doesn't go Hogwarts or we'd have a whole lot more violence"
"The boy is a squib, correct?" Snape asked
"Yes sir, he is" Harry answered "I hope that's not a problem" Harry added with a hint of warning
"Mr Potter" McGonagall spoke "the problem is you attacked another boy"
"No" Harry shook his head "I did not attack him, we both engaged in combat at the same time. I don't know why to be honest, he hasn't beaten me in years but he keeps coming back for more. Got to admire his dedication, but I digress, I apologise and I assure you that I will not fight him again, especially seeing as he left."
Dumbledore took that moment to try and look into Harry's eyes and he was defiantly surprised when Snape was right, Harry did have good occlumency shields. Dumbledore quickly pulled out and hoped that Harry had not noticed him.
"Mr Potter" Dumbledore spoke "I apologise but actions like that cannot go unpunished, twenty points from Slytherin and you are to serve a week's detention with Professor Snape."
"You are dismissed Mr Potter" Snape said
"Thank you sir" Harry stood up "I had best be going, I'm no mind reader" Harry glanced at Dumbledore who shifted slightly as he understood the message "but I can imagine that people will want to talk to me about what happened, goodbye" Harry turned and left.
"That boy" McGonagall huffed "I can't figure him out"
"You're not the only one Minerva" Dumbledore said "you're not the only one"
"Alright Daphne" Harry said to Daphne in the common room, he had placed a few privacy charms so they could speak without being heard or bothered "the boy's name was Ryan"
"Okay, now tell me why the two of you started trading punches in the great hall" Daphne replied
"Me and him used to spar a lot" Harry answered "and admittedly they got out of hand. But we really do care for each other, I don't care that he's a squib, he was my best friend before I came to Hogwarts"
"Before you came to Hogwarts?" Daphne asked
"Yes, your my best friend now"
"Oh no, flattery will not get you out of this Potter" Daphne said, even though she looked very amused "what happened after?"
"We talked, it turns out that Lord Flight is a bit sick and he doesn't have that long to live. He just wanted to talk to me"
"Oh, I'm sorry" Daphne said in a sympathetic voice
"It's fine" Harry reassured her "he's been sick for a while and we were all prepared for him to go eventually. But good news, Ryan found some long lost family, apparently he has a sister who was willing to take him in"
"That's nice, what would have happened if he didn't get taken in by her?"
"Either he gets taken in by someone else or he lives on the streets" Harry removed the privacy charms "look Daph, I've had a bit of a long day, can we drop it for now?" Before Daphne could say anything Draco Malfoy swaggered over.
"Potter" He drawled "it's a shame to see that you have nothing better to do than brawl with squibs like a common muggle"
"Would you like me to brawl with you instead?" Harry threatened "last time didn't work out so good for you and you had the apes with you then"
"You don't scare me" Malfoy sneered "I'm a great wizard. You're nothing but a filthy half-blood who has nothing better to do than play with squibs"
"Tell me Malfoy" Harry spoke slowly "would you prefer me to break your bones magically or the muggle way?"
"Shut it Malfoy" Daphne interrupted before Draco could say anything "Harry's twice the man you are"
"No, he's not!" Draco disagreed
"Yes he is" Daphne argued "you can't go anywhere without Crabbe and Goyle, while Harry fought three of you singlehandedly and he fought that 'squib'. In fact, if that squib was here then I would bet that he'd be able to knock you to the ground before you'd be able to fire off a spell"
"Listen Greengrass"
"Listen Malfoy" Harry said "just shut the hell up"
"Who do you think you are?!" Draco demanded
"What kind of stupid question is that? I am who I am and I am who I was and I am who I will always be"
"That's no answer!"
"What other answer is there?" Harry asked with a roll of his eyes
"Harry Potter" Draco answered
"If you know the answer then why are you asking me?" Harry questioned the now red boy, who just growled and stormed off.
"You enjoyed that, didn't you?" Daphne smiled at Harry
"What can I say? Irritating Malfoy gives me life"
