Bab 46: Slytherin Slyness
The next day Harry ate dinner with Daphne at the Slytherin table when Adrian potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley walked up to them.
"Yes?" Harry sighed and looked at them
"What was that about? Yesterday, you fought with that squib" Adrian said
"He has a name" Harry pointed out
"You still shouldn't have been fighting" Hermione admonished
"Yes mother" Harry said mockingly
"Hey, don't talk to her like that" Ron ordered
"I'd prefer not to talk to her at all but you lot are still here"
"Harry, be nice" Daphne said, though her smile ruined her reprimand, she then turned to the golden trio "as for you three, it doesn't matter why he was fighting. It's none of your business so he doesn't really have to tell you, plus the teachers took care of it already. Besides, you didn't complain when Harry was saving you three from Malfoy and his goons"
"Seriously, where did you learn to fight like that?" Adrian asked
"I had a few different teachers" Harry parroted his answer from the last time they asked "now, is that it? Because I'd like to finish my breakfast"
"The yellow eyed man" Adrian said "you know who he is, don't you?"
"I know what I know and I don't know what I don't" Harry replied
"What?" The trio were confused
"That's his way of saying maybe" Daphne explained
"Oh" Ron said "well, tell us who he is?"
"Who said I know who he is?" Harry asked
"Please" Hermione scoffed "you clearly know, so tell us"
"Daphne" Harry turned to Daphne "what lesson do we have first?"
"Potions" Daphne answered "I'm finished, do you want to go now?"
"Yeah, I'm finished too" Harry stood up and Daphne copied him "goodbye brother, Weasel, bookworm."
"Wait, you have to tell us" Hermione stopped them from walking off "if you don't then we'll go straight to Dumbledore"
"Feel free" Harry picked up his bag and offered Daphne his arm, which she took "now, I will be going now. If that's alright with you, and if it's not, then tough luck"
Harry and Daphne walked off, leaving an annoyed golden trio. Once they were far enough away, Daphne looked at Harry and began speaking.
"Do you know who this 'yellow eyed man' is?"
"I know a lot of things Daph"
"Can you please just give me a straight answer?"
"What do you know about occlumency?" Harry asked
"Occlumency? I know a little bit" Daphne was surprised by the sudden change in topic
"Well, I have a few secrets and if you want to learn them then you better have some pretty strong defences"
"My defences…aren't that strong" Daphne admitted, with a little bit of shame in her voice "I only know the basics"
"I'll teach you if you want" Harry offered
"Really?" Daphne lit up, she loved learning magic. Just because she wasn't as vocal as Granger didn't mean she wasn't as smart.
"Yeah, I want to tell you my secrets but I can only do them if you're capable of keeping out other people"
"But who would read my mind?"
"Snape and Dumbledore" Harry answered "they both tried to read my mind"
"But Harry, that's illegal!"
"Hmm, good to know" Harry replied "either way, it doesn't matter. I blocked them and they won't try again. From now on they will probably limit their mind reading to other people near me"
"But Harry, you could take them to court and charge them"
"Daphne, you're Gryffindor is showing. Think Slytherin" Daphne growled slightly at that before taking a moment to think it through
"Hmm, I guess your right" She said "you have no proof and Dumbledore would easily weasel his way out"
"That's my girl" Harry kissed her forehead "besides, they didn't really get anything so I'm not that fussed."

The two arrived at the potions class, they waited outside as the rest of the students came to the class. Soon Professor Snape arrived and let everyone in, Daphne and Harry worked together while Tracy worked with Neville.
"Time's up" Snape said at the end of the lesson as he went around and examined the potions "Miss Greengrass, you and Mr Potter have made another excellent potion, twenty points to Slytherin" He then moved on to Grangers, he looked at it but didn't say anything and moved on, much to the annoyance of the girl.
"Snape incoming" Ron whispered to Adrian
"Potter, Weasley" Snape looked at the potion "you were supposed to spin it anti-clockwise five times, not three. The herbs were supposed to be put in separately, are you incapable of following instructions or do you just not understand them? Twenty points from Gryffindor" Snape walked off as the boys cursed him under their breath.
"I know I shouldn't enjoy their suffering but I can't help it" Harry whispered to Daphne who just smirked and looked at him
"Likewise" She replied
