Capítulo 79: 78. Griselda Marchbanks
Since there were only 4 of them, Hermione insisted Harry to be personally present to ensure that nothing goes wrong. It was awkward and embarassing for all of them but then Hermione took them with her and when they returned they all had calmed down. Harry really enjoyed what ritual did with the girls' bodies and it seemed they too had decided to show off.
Now Harry was not totally clueless about what was going on but decided to talk about it with their later.
Everyone were surprised to see the changes. They had already seen it on Harry and Hermione but looking at the four girls again made them realise the power and potential of that ritual.
Harry had a talk with mrs. Greengrass about everything. He told her that he really wanted to help them but mr. Greengrass would not let it work out between them. He also told her about the proposals that Malfoys and Notts may offer and she immediately became deathly pale thinking about her daughters' future in those families.
"Mrs. Greengrass, you have to take bold steps if you want to take care of the matters." Harry said trying to make her understand.
"What can I do? I love him, Christopher was not like that.."
"Sign a loyalty contract with me and I promise to not hurt him but make all of you happy."
" How are you going to do that? " She asked looking hopeful but also in hesitation.
" you have seen others. I won't mistreat you and your family, I try to strengthen them in fact. I can't tell you more before you sign secrecy and loyalty contract but Daphne is very precious to me and I'll not do anything to hurt her." Harry said genuinely. Daphne, Andromeda and others also advised her before she agreed to sign the contract if Harry signs that he will not hurt her family knowingly.
Soon the contract was signed and Isabel asked him what he had planned for.
"Tell me. The problem is that your husband has become cold towards everything even when he loves you, because of many hardships right?" Isabel nodded.
" Then what if he suddenly found himself not being able to live without you.." Harry said raising his eyebrows mischievously.
" How will that happen? Why would he? " Isabel still didn't understand.
" Ahem, I mean, wouldn't the warmth of your love and it's nourishment for some days continuously make his frozen heart thaw.
You understand what I'm talking about right? " The couples in the room were giving each other ambiguous glances while the girls were blushing red. Isabel herself realised the inneundo and started blushing like a vergin.
" I, I had thought about giving him love Potion. But, but his head ring will detect it." She said meekly, as everyone tried really hard to stifle their amusement at the situation.
" Don't worry Isabel. I have other methods.. He will not leave you even if his waist, ahem.. I mean, don't worry.. just concentrate on making him come out of his shell." Harry said devilishly. The girls and both the professors felt a shudder run down their spine remembering the scene in the geart hall with Slytherins..
- Break -
"Hey Susan! How are you." Harry greeted and wished Susan as he stepped out of the floo.
Amelia had informed him that Griselda Marchbanks had accepted her Lunch invitation. Harry came a bit earlier to talk to Amelia and hide in a corner to collect information about the old lady.
"Harry!! You, how did you grow in just a day?" Susan exclaimed attracting Amelia's attention, who was also surprised to see the changes.
"You didn't do anything illegal, right?" She immediately asked.
"Look what you are saying, Amelia. Am I that sort of person.." Harry said dramatically.
"You are the one who made me break law during the very first meeting.. Come on, tell me the truth." Amelia looked at him, giving him a deadpenned look.
"I have developed a Potion to increase height. I tested it on myself and this happened. By the way, I can use your help in getting its patent." Harry said the prepared excuse and his comment about patent made her doubt her own judgement.
"We will talk about that later. Come this way, she must be arriving soon." Amelia said leading him towards the drawing room.
They talked for some time about everything under the sun before Amelia got a floo call from the old lady, asking if she could come. Amelia immediately went to welcome her respectfully and led her to the drawing room.
They chatted for a few minutes about normal things at their respective departments and the whole ministry. Harry took this time to look at her status and her past, to get an idea if she would help him with telling anyone about it or not.
"So Amelia, what did you want to talk about? I know you are a straight forward woman just like myself. So speak freely child." She said suddenly. Amelia was not able to react immediately but Harry was laughing at the indirect way she called Amelia simple - minded.
"Ahem. Madam, I do have something to ask for, please forgive my rudeness." Seeing her waving her hand and seeping the juice Susan served, Amelia continued, " This is my niece, Susan. She is in her first year at Hogwarts. One of her close friend asked if they can give early OWLs and NEWTs.. "
" They just need to fill the form if they think they can. But let me give you an advise, only attempt it if you are completely sure because there is a heavy fine if you fail." She said as if that is a simple matter.
It was this moment that Harry had his confirmation about her character and walked out of hiding surprising her greatly.
" I apologise for my rudeness Madam. I'm Harry Potter, first year Hogwarts student. I have to be careful because of my complicated situation." Harry apologised humbly.
" It's a surprise to see you here Mr. Potter. I have heard about you like many others. A talented child, very much pleasing to the eyes, who is a prodigy and also the maker of possibly the best broom in the world." She said as she looked at him deeply. " Can I assume that you are the close friend, she was talking about? "
" That would indeed be me.. Susan is a very good friend and I asked for her help as I trust her very much. I want to know if it is possible to give the exams and get the results in secrecy." Harry asked directly.
