Hogwarts Express
Daphne Greengrass daughter of Lord Greengrass and Lady Greengrass, stared out of her compartment window. She wasn't looking forward to returning to Hogwarts. Over the summer she had been having some vivid dreams involving a certain black hair green eyed wizard, who she had admired from afar. Yet he seemed totally oblivious to her interest in him, granted, they were in two Rival houses, but it still didn't stop her from staring at him in class, or looking over at him as he studied in the library doing his homework. She had even made a pass several times at him, and found that he just ignored her. She turned to see her best friend Tracy Davis sitting opposite her. For some reason the train seemed to be really busy this year and all the compartments were full. The only one left was the one they were sitting in now, however they were not alone as a man seemed to be snoozing in the corner. Daphne had noticed his trunk and guessed he must be a new professor, but that still did not explain why he was travelling on the Hogwarts Express, when he could so easily apparate to Hogsmeade and walk from there. She looked over to see Tracy and knew she was worried about her.
"Daphne you have to let him go, It's doing you no good. I mean looking at him in class and in the library is one thing, but dreaming about him is something completely different. You have to accept that he's a Lion and you're a Snake, its that simple."
Daphne turned from her best friend she knew she was right, Harry Potter was becoming something of an obsession for her, however she couldn't help it, there had always been some little voice in the back of her head saying that they were meant for each other. Daphne prayed that hopefully this year, he might start taking notice of her. She was not aware that her prayer was going to be answered so quickly. The compartment door opened, revealing Hermione Granger and a mysterious boy with black hair and green eyes, Daphne swore it was Harry but she couldn't tell as he didn't have his glasses on. Still the boy in question did look good and it was clear that he was not a first year due to his size and closeness to Hermione Granger. Daphne frowned at the bushy haired brunette. She had always seen her as competition for Harry's affection, she also had to admit that Hermione had home advantage being in the same house as him and was always hanging off his arm. However it wasn't Hermione who spoke but the boy with her. She blushed as he smiled at her. A smile that she had seen so many times since they had started Hogwarts.
"Excuse you me, you mind if me and Hermione sit here? Everywhere else seems to be full."
Daphne looked over to see the surprise expression on her friends face. Maybe everything wasn't going to be bad this year after all.
"Sure there's plenty of room."
Harry smiled at Daphne he couldn't believe how lucky he was, she was even more beautiful then the photo Jenny had shown him. He sat next to her and watched Hermione sit next to Tracy. It was Tracy who decided to talk first.
"Sorry who are you? I don't believe I've seen you around Hogwarts?"
Harry smiled. He wasn't surprised no one knew who he was after all he was completely different to how he use to look. He leaned back in his seat and brushed Daphne arms ever so gently, which caused another blush to appear on his future soul mates face.
"I'm not surprise you don't know me actually. I have changed a lot since the summer. Names Harry Potter, well Lord Potter now. I recently took up the mantle of the head of the most Noble Ancient house of Potter. This is my friend Hermione Granger. May I ask what your names are?
Tracy just sat there not saying anything. She could not believe how much Harry had changed in one summer, she came out of her shocked state of mind. "Sorry seemed to space out a bit there. Names Tracy Davis and this is Daphne Greengrass, Slytherin house."
Harry ignored the last line of the statement, he couldn't care what house Daphne was from, she was hot and he could not wait to taste those sweet strawberry lips of her.
"House rivalry doesn't mean much to me, you haven't attempted to hex me or Hermione yet, so I'm not bothered."
Daphne eyes widened, this was not the same Harry she had seen over the last two years. This was a completely different Harry, laid back bad boy attitude, and she had to admit she liked the new Harry. She then frowned as she saw the brunettes eyes on him, she could tell that Hermione was thinking the same thing, she was, this did not go down well with the Slytherin Ice Queen.
Meanwhile at Hogwarts
Albus too many bloody titles Dumbledore sat behind his desk looking down at a note he had been sent from Gringotts. It seems that Harry had been busy this summer and had now taken up his mantle as Lord Potter, the note was stating that he was no longer Harry's magical guardian, and that all funds which he had taken from the Potter vault were being returned immediately. He also had In his hand a pile of ash which once had been a marriage contract. This did not go down well with the headmaster. He was disturbed from his thoughts by his fire place glowing green and a red headed woman appearing in the flames.
"Albus, I need to speak to you urgently."
Albus sighed he was well aware of what Molly Weasley wanted to discuss, no doubt she had been to her own vault to find it empty and the funds returned back to Harry.
"Come through Molly."
Molly nodded before stepping through the flames and into Albus Dumbledore's office. She took the seat opposite him.
"Albus, something happened to Harry. He looks completely different, not only his looks changed but his whole attitude has as well. He's already ended his friendship with Ron, he's also taken up the mantle as Lord Potter. The Prewitt vault is now empty, Ron's own vault is empty and the marriage contract is nothing but ash. Arthur began an immediate investigation into everything. I dread to think what he will discover from the brats account manager."
Albus leaned back in his chair. "Tell me Molly, what do you mean by Harry has changed?"
Molly leaned back in her own chair before crossing her arm against her chest. "Well for start he's taller and not underfed anymore. He no longer needs glasses and his whole attitude as gone from being a nice polite boy who would do as his told, to a rebel bad boy. He punched Ronald in the leaky cauldron, just because he called Hermione a know it all bookworm. I told you we should have started her potion early, she is now all over Harry, and poor Ginny his absolutely distraught."
Albus shook his head, clearly it was worse then he first thought. Obviously his blocks had been broken, that was the only logical explaination for why Harry had changed so much. This would not do, he did not need a puppet with a free will, but needed an obedient child who would do as his told and when his time came to die then he would do it without question. Albus wondered if he should contact Snape and have him brew up some more loyalty potion, but knew that idea was no good, now Harry wore the potter ring it would alert him that his drink had been spiked. No he would have to come up with something else, he couldn't believe how over one summer things could go so pear shaped.
"Molly leave Harry to me, I am sure I can persuade him to come back under my thumb, and then we can get the marriage contract re-written and have it bounded in blood this time, so that the only way for it to be voided is if one of the party was to die."
Molly nodded and walked to the fire place. "I will see if I can brew a stronger potion for Arthur I dread to think what he will do once he discovers everything."
Albus nodded and watched Molly vanish from his office. He then got up to walk into his own room. He knew the students would be arriving shortly for the evening feast.
Back on The Hogwarts Express.
Harry was sitting on the edge of his seat, he knew the train would be stopping soon, this time however he was going to be ready for the dementor. He had already drawn is wand. In the short space of time he had spent with Daphne, he had already gotten to know quite a bit about her, it seemed they were going to get on very well in the future.
Hermione looked over to the interaction between Harry and Daphne, she wasn't sure how she felt when Harry flirted with the blonde, before the summer she had seen Harry just as a brother, but since last night her feelings were beginning to change towards her best friend. The fact he had seen her totally naked yesterday also added to these new thoughts. She thought she would have been embarrassed by being naked in front of Harry, but found she had felt the exact opposite and bit excited, of being caught by her best friend. The fact they were no longer talking to Ron also helped. Now she had a real opportunity to get to know him more personally, however that could not happen if he carried on flirting with Daphne Greengrass.
After-life
Jenny sat in her office, pouring herself a shot of vodka. The plan had already gone tits up with the little action of Harry and Hermione last night. She noticed another grim reaper come running in with a file.
"Jenny what the hell has your client done to mine? She was due to be married to a muggle doctor when she left Hogwarts, now her file is changing before my very eyes to Harry James Potter!"
Jenny shook her head, maybe sending him back had been a bad idea, she could have done with him being around here with her, after all they would never be bored. She was till getting over their hour of love making, she had no idea a mortal could be so talented with their tongue. Guess being a Parselmouth does have its perks after all. Jenny looked to her fellow grim reaper before handing her a shot of vodka.
"Sit down Athena, I think were both going to be doing a hell of a lot of drinking this year."
Hogwarts Express
Harry was in the middle of a conversation with Daphne when he felt the train suddenly come to a halt. He watched the compartment lights flicker on and off. He looked out of Daphne's window to see the rain pelting down, suddenly the droplets began to freeze. Harry stood and faced the compartment door, he knew what was coming. He noticed the three girls giving him an odd look. Suddenly the three of them screamed as they saw a skeleton hand slowly beginning to open the door to their compartment. Harry closed his eyes before thinking of the memory of his parents, he then opened them and pointed his wand towards the now half open door. He looked to see the Dementor coming towards him. He gritted his teeth
"Not this time you Bastard. Expecto Patronum!"
Harry's stag erupted from his wand and smashed into the dementor. The force of the impact from the stag hitting the dementor caused it to smash right through the window on the other side of the train. Harry took a deep breath and heard screams as more dementors were driven off the train by his stag. Once the coast was clear Harry saw the stag turn towards him and bow before it vanished into thin air. He suddenly turned to see not only the girls looking at him wide eyed but Professor Lupin was also looking at him with awe. He suddenly fell back on the seat and dropped his wand. He noticed Daphne had immediately wrapped her arms around him and saw Remus breaking off a piece of chocolate.
"Eat this Harry. Your feel better in no time."
Harry nibbled on the chocolate and laid back failing to realise that Daphne still had her arms around him. He closed his eyes briefly, and then saw Remus leave the compartment.
"I am sure your be fine in these three lovely ladies hands Harry. I need to go have a word with the driver."
He left the compartment and walked down the train mending all the broken windows that had been caused by the dementors fleeing the train. He could not believe he had just witnessed Jame's son cast a patronus. The fact it had a define shape also made it that much more impressive. Most adult wizard could only manage a simple mist shield, never before had he heard of any third year being able to perform the charm. He was looking forward to teaching Harry, this year and wondered what other surprise the son of prongs had up his sleeve.
Back in the compartment Daphne was holding Harry in her arms, stroking a few strands of his hair gently. She couldn't believe how soon her prayer had been answered for him to notice her. Just him being in her arms felt so right as if it was meant to be. It was only Daphne and Harry in the compartment now, Hermione and Tracy had left to get freshened up as they would be arriving in Hogsmeade soon. She looked down at his peaceful face, and gently ran the tip of her finger over his famous lighting bolt scar that had made him an icon in their world. She didn't know what made her do it, but she leaned down and was about to kiss him, when the compartment door was opened revealing Hermione hands on hips looking at them both.
"Just what do you think you are doing?"
After life
Hermione's Grim reaper was rolling on the floor laughing, she watched Jenny jumping up and down in frustration at how close Harry and Daphne had gotten to kissing. She thought it served her right especially now her own clients future had changed.
"That good for nothing bookworm, doesn't she know how important that kiss is to everything. Once they are soul bonded they would both be protected from Dumbledore and anyone else wishing to cause them harm. Grr"
Hemione grim reaper just looked at her still laughing. "Oh come on you must admit it make interesting viewing. Your client involved in love triangle you couldn't write a better script if you sat down at the table for years."
Jenny frowned. "It's not funny that moment could have made both their lives a lot easier, now they are both going to have to be on their guard against the old fool and his manipulative ways. Anyway what does your file actually say Hermione will be in this little triangle, he only has one title so in theory he can only take one wife."
Hermione Grim reaper looked down her file," According to this she is to become the future Lady Potter and Daphne is to become the future Lady Black, however all three will have the soul bond."
Jenny grabbed her file and noticed several pages had suddenly appeared. She frowned. "I bet the boss is up there having a good fucking laugh at both of us. Good I hate this job. Why can't everything just stay the way it is suppose too."
