Harry had just gotten out of the headmasters office when he remembered something, he turned back around and made his way back. He entered the office, Dumbledore and Adrian looked surprised to see him.
"Harry" Dumbledore said "did you forget something?"
"Yes" Harry nodded "I'd like the cloak please" Dumbledore tensed a little, while Adrian looked confused.
"Cloak? What cloak?" Adrian asked
"Our fathers invisibility cloak" Harry answered "Dumbledore has it and I'd like it back"
"Mr Potter, you're father gave me that cloak" Dumbledore pointed out
"And you promised to give it back" Harry replied "in fact you gave a magical vow that said you would give it back when asked by a member of the family"
"How did you know that?" Dumbledore asked, narrowing his eyes slightly
"I know a lot of things, for example I know that I want that cloak back"
"Mr Potter, I had planned to give this to your brother at Christmas"
"I don't care" Harry responded "I'm the eldest son and therefore it's my property until dad wakes up and claims it"
"Wait, you can't do that!" Adrian objected
"I can and I will, now the cloak, please"
"Mr Potter, really there is no need for this" Dumbledore said
"Look Dumbledore, I want that cloak back, and I'd like it now. Unless you liked the public to know that you are keeping a valued possession of the Potter house from its heir"
"Very well" Dumbledore sighed and moved to get the cloak, he didn't want to give Harry the cloak but he couldn't risk getting more bad publicity. He would have to change his plans, and find another way to get Adrian to see the mirror. He picked up the cloak and gave it to Harry.
"Thank you" Harry took the cloak "see, that wasn't so hard. Now, goodbye" Harry turned to leave
"Mr Potter" Dumbledore said just before Harry had gotten out of the door "how did you know about the vow and the cloak?"
"You see Dumbledore, that's a secret" Harry smiled at the headmaster "if you want to learn my secrets, you need to give me some of yours and I don't think you want to do that. Goodbye"
Harry left the room for the second time, Dumbledore didn't know what to think. Somehow Harry had knew about the cloak and his vow, he only made that vow so James Potter would let him have that cloak. Who told Harry about it? What else did Harry know? Perhaps next time they see each other, Dumbledore could look into Harry's mind and see what makes him tick.
...
Harry took his cloak back to the common room and placed it in his room, he exited his room and came back down to the common room.
"Potter" A voice called, Harry found Malfoy and his two goons glaring at him. Harry glanced around and saw Daphne sitting with Blaise and Tracy, preparing to get up and help.
"Ah, Malfoy" Harry said "how are your ribs?"
"Shut it Potter!" Malfoy snapped "You'll pay for what you've done!"
"Very original Malfoy" Harry commented "look, I'm tired and I have better things to do than deal with you"
"When my father hears about this" Draco threatened "he'll..."
"Be disappointed in you" Harry interrupted "first you lose a wizard duel, then you try to attack the boy-who-lived the muggle way, then you and your goons lost against me during what was basically a muggle fight. Tell your dad, go on, I dare you."
Malfoy paused, he realised that Potter had a point, his father would be furious. Especially if he heard that he was fighting like a muggle, he'd have to get Potter another way.
"This isn't over" Malfoy said before he turned and left with Crabbe and Goyle following him.
"You okay?" Daphne asked as Harry walked over and sat beside them
"Yeah" Harry nodded "Malfoy being a git is nothing new"
"True" Daphne agreed "where were you anyway?"
"In a meeting with the headmaster" Harry answered
"What did he want?" Tracy asked
"Well, first he congratulated me on my quidditch victory" Harry replied "then he asked me about the marriage contract"
"He what?" Daphne asked
"He asked me about the contract and said he'd help me get out of it if I wanted, but I told him that I didn't need his help to get out of the contract then he asked me about the troll. I answered a couple of questions then I left"
"By the way" Blaise said "Snape wants to talk to you about the Malfoy incident, told me to tell you to come as soon as possible.
"I can't catch a break" Harry groaned as he stood up again.
