Soon the lesson ended, Harry quickly made his way to Snape after the class was dismissed.
"Excuse me sir" Harry said politely "I just wanted to confirm if you'll be able to accompany me tomorrow to St Mungo's."
"Worry not Mr Potter, meet me at eight in my office and I will take you there" Snape replied
"Yes sir, thank you" Harry nodded, he then turned and walked away
"Mr Potter" Snape called once Harry was halfway across the room, Harry stopped and looked at the potions master "have you truly not known where your parents were all these years?"
"No sir" Harry shook his head "well, I always thought they were alive and I believed they were alive but I didn't have confirmation until shortly after I started Hogwarts. I had talked with Blaise Zabini and the conversation came up and he mentioned it"
"Hmm" Snape said with a thoughtful expression "very well, I shall see you tomorrow"
"Yes sir, thank you sir" Harry replied and left the potions room and a very depressed potions master.
"What's up Harry?" Tracy asked, she and Daphne had waited for him outside
"Nothing much, just talked with Professor Snape about if he'd still be able to take me to see my parents tomorrow" Harry replied. "I have to meet him in his office tomorrow at eight"
"Eight?!" Tracy said horrified "the only reason anyone should go anywhere before nine is if they need to go and eat breakfast!"
"Let's go" Daphne shook her head in amusement and the trio walked to their next lesson, Daphne had out her hand in Harry's again but this time she put her left hand in his right
"Oh" Tracy raised a suggestive eyebrow "holding hands with Mr Potter are we?"
"Shut it Tracy" Daphne replied "I'm only stopping him from punching someone again"
"Would this be a bad time to point out that I'm ambidextrous?" Harry asked
"Are you?" Daphne asked
"Yeah" Harry nodded "I favour my right because right handed people are more common but I can use my left when I want"
"Well in that case" Tracy wrapped her hands around his arms
"What are you doing?" Daphne narrowed her eyes
"Well, you want to stop him from punching people" Tracy smiled at Daphne "I thought I'd help"
"Fine" Daphne let go of Harry's hands and wrapped her hands around his arms in the same way that Tracy did.
"Oh, copying me are we" Tracy grinned
"No, I've just decided that this was a better way to keep him restrained" Daphne replied.
The two argued until they eventually got to their next class, the class and Professor Flitwick were a bit surprised to see an amused Harry enter with a girl on each arm. The three took their seats and the lesson started.
Adrian Potter was having mixed thoughts about his brother, his brother had punched Malfoy and gotten away with it while also entering class with a girl on each arm. But on the other hand the girls and him were Slytherin's and Harry was stupidly refusing to obey the headmaster.
Hermione Granger huffed at the behaviour the three were showing, it wasn't enough that Harry and that Greengrass girl always had to do better at her in class but they also had to act so inappropriately. In her eyes Harry was an arrogant boy who probably cheated his way through class, Hermione thought that he was probably trying to attract attention because he was jealous of his brother.
Luckily for Daphne, Draco was still in the hospital wing, but now she had a new annoyance in the form of her best friend. Who had suddenly decided to start hanging on to Harry, Daphne knew that Tracy was doing it to annoy her and despite that knowledge, it still annoyed her.
Harry reflected on what had happened so far, and ran it through his head. At the end of the day he had basically given the headmaster the finger and appointed his own proxies, he had found out he was betrothed to Daphne, he had done great in classes as usual and annoyed Granger by doing so, he punched Malfoy down the stairs and installed a little fear in the other students and even though he knew Tracy's reasons he now had two girls fighting over him.
All in all, not a bad day.
Chapter 6 – Meeting parents, misinterpretation
When Harry got back to the common room with Daphne and Tracy, the former still holding onto his arm, they found Draco Malfoy sitting there. When he saw the trio he immediately jumped to his feet.
"Greengrass!" He shouted, attracting the attention of the whole common room "what do you think you're doing?"
"Wondering why I haven't chopped off your tongue yet" Daphne answered
"Don't disrespect me!" Draco demanded "Why are you holding Potters arm?"
"Because I like holding it" Daphne answered with a straight face "it's really strong but feels comfortable in my hands."
"You know my father is making a marriage contract between me and you" Draco replied "you shouldn't be hanging on Potter, I'm your future husband!"
"That's where you're wrong Malfoy, or at least one more thing which you're wrong about, we should probably add it to the list" Daphne replied.
"Tracy" Harry whispered to Tracy "she's gotten sassy, I think I've been a bad influence on her"
"True, but with that being said I am not letting you get away from us two now" Tracy whispered back
"You see Malfoy" Daphne continued "I'm already in a marriage contract with someone else, I just found out earlier today. Right before we went to potions class and Harry punched you in the face, do you remember that?"
"Who?!" Malfoy turned bright red in anger
"That'd be me" Harry spoke up "I only just found out today as well, funny how that works"
"Potter! You stole my girl!" Malfoy shouted
"I don't see your name on her" Harry looked at Daphne "a good thing too, it'd be a shame to taint such perfection with your name"
"Watch it Potter!" Draco warned
"Or what?" Harry scoffed "You can't beat me in a duel, as evidenced by the redness of your face from when I punched you. If you like, we can have another duel thought I should warn you that if we do I will punch a lot harder than last time"
"You think you're so brilliant?!" Malfoy growled "You're just a pathetic loser who shouldn't be in this house"
"Says the boy throwing a tantrum like a five year old" Harry retorted "I see no reason why I can't be in Slytherin house."
"You're a half-blood!" Malfoy shouted
"Slytherin has had many half-bloods over the years" Harry responded "some have even made prefect and head boy"
"You're a Potter, you should be in Gryffindor!"
"The Potters are an ancient and most noble house Malfoy, can you say the same about yours? No, because unlike my family, the only thing that has made your family important was money. Besides, there have been plenty of Potters in Slytherin, though the majority go to Gryffindor, we have had the occasional Slytherin in the family."
"Plus Harry here has acted way more Slytherin than you ever have" Tracy added
"What?! That's preposterous!" Malfoy shouted
