章節 59: The Bond of Power
The Slytherin girls led the way and pushed the doors to the Great Hall open. They stepped in side by side hiding the view behind them and parted to reveal Cedric and Cho following them down the stairs into the hall. As the whole hall watched, Cedric stopped at the bottom of the stairs and turned back towards the door. It took a moment for everyone to look where Cedric was looking and that's when the doors flew open once more as Harry came through with Megan on his arm. There were gasps all over the hall as he loudly said "What? If Voldemort couldn't kill me then how could a prick like Krum stand a chance?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dumbledore and McGonagall rise and then make their way towards him. The look in Minerva's eyes showed a hint that she was happy and relieved that he was alive and well or if the rumors were correct, Albus stood a chance of having a job after today. With the twinkle going full blast, Albus asked "May I ask where you have been Mr. Potter? We have been quite worried about you."
"Yeah, I'll just bet you were worried and please cut off that damn annoying twinkle in your eyes. You're giving me a headache and by the way, my occlumency shields can feel your probes."
Harry smirked as he heard several gasps around him. "As for where I have been, I spent most of my time in a hospital trying to heal from the injuries you caused during the last task. Other than that, I have been studying my arse off so that I might survive this damn tournament that you tricked me into participating in."
"I think we should take this discussion to my office Harry."
"No. It was your actions that placed me in the position I have been in this year. In fact, just so you people will not have an excuse to say anything different even though I know you will because you are a bunch of spineless sheep. I, Harry James Potter, swear on my life, my soul, and my magic that I did not enter this blasted tournament or have anyone else do it for me. And the only reason I'm still participating is to keep my magic. So mote it be."
When the flash ended from his oath, he pulled his wand and cast his patronus. As it galloped around the room, Megan pulled him towards a seat.
Dumbledore said "I still require you to accompany me to my office."
"NO! If I've told you once, I've told you a million times, you have nothing to say to me that I want to hear. If you are unhappy with that then you should expel me and be done with it. I refuse to play your games anymore."
Minerva said "Mr. Potter, you will show respect towards the Headmaster."
Megan was watching the whole thing and knew Harry was close to losing it and did the only thing she could think of. She grabbed him and kissed him hard and didn't release it until she felt him calm down. She whispered in his ear "Not yet love. We aren't ready."
He nodded his head and turned to the table. Minerva said "Miss Jones that will be fifty points and one week's detention for such an improper public display."
Megan stood and stared face to face with Minerva. "You can take as many points as you wish Professor McGonagall and it won't make a bit of difference to me. As far as the detention, I claim my rights as an heir of a noble house to have my Lord present to decide if I should be punished. I'm sure Lords Diggory and my father will be most curious that someone was trying to once again interfere in the matters of House Potter or in this case, with Harry himself. Maybe I should just call them now."
Albus finally lost it and made a move towards Megan. As soon as he saw the wand start to move, Harry was up and pushed the wand towards the ceiling where the spell blew a hole in the roof. Before Albus could react, Harry had taken the wand from his hand and delivered a punch which broke the old man's nose once again while sitting Albus back on his arse.
As soon as the wand was in Harry's hand, it shot golden sparks and instantly bonded to Harry. Albus' eyes grew wide then closed as the ramifications of what just happened settled in. His momentary loss of self control was responsible for all of his plans to finally crash down. As soon as the wand completely bonded with Harry, he would forever be out of Albus' reach. Albus made a quick grab for the wand but Harry responded by pulling his hand away.
The hall was quiet before but it grew even more so as they watched the wand start glowing. They sat there and watched as the glow moved from the wand and up Harry's arms until it moved to encompass his whole body. When the glow subsided, Harry stood unsteadily on his feet until he remembered what had caused the whole confrontation. It was then he squatted down and said in a low voice. "If you ever touch Megan again, I will kill you."
He stood and grabbed Megan's hand and led her to a seat at the Hufflepuff table where the others were waiting with wide eyes. Daphne asked "What was all that with the wand Harry?"
"Not now."
She nodded but was still confused as she had never seen or heard of something like that happening. McGonagall helped Albus up and with a few worried looks cast in Harry's direction; they made their way back to the head table.
After the display of magic that just occurred, no one was brave enough to approach Harry or his entourage so they were able to eat in peace without having their low conversation disturbed. Lilith finally whispered "I'm surprised that we haven't heard a peep from our house over this."
Daphne whispered back "And we probably won't. More than likely, they'll hold their comments until they've had time to talk to their fathers. Right now, more people are afraid of what our being together means."
Harry snorted but whispered "Yeah, just look at the Gryffindors. They look like they just lost their best friend. I guess when the golden boy of Gryffindor would rather sit with Slytherins; they finally see how far they've fallen."
Tracey huffed in indignation. "I don't appreciate that."
Harry snorted "I wasn't talking about present company."
