Chapter 19 - Chapter 19 - returning to hogwarts

Text(Hogwarts Express)

It was time to return to Hogwarts and Harry was aboard the train for whatever came his way. Since he wasn't trying to be as secretive this time around he decided to simply find himself a compartment and see who would show up. After waiting for around ten minutes, the door finally opened to reveal a girl who he would definitely put on the cute category. She had fair skin long brown hair and blue eyes along with a nice high B cup chest thanks to her casual clothes. When she looked at him she practically froze in shock.

"Merlin. I'm in a compartment with Harry Potter." The girl gasped.

"Yes and who might you be miss." Harry said warmly trying not to intimidate her..

"Fay Dunbar. I hope you don't mind that I'm a Gryffindor." Fay said nervously.

Harry shook his head, "Ms. Dunbar why on earth would I care about you being Gryffindor." Harry deadpanned.

Fay blushed slightly, "Sorry about that, but typically Slytherin's like you, don't like Gryffindor like me." Fay said bashfully.

Harry snorted, "While that may be true of some of my dormmates, I personally don't care. Please sit down" Harry replied.

Fay was visibly thrilled, "Okay." Fay said happily as she sat down, but before she could say anything else, the door opened and Lavender of all people walked in with a pair of Indian girls that Harry certainly remembered from the sorting.

"Harry!!" Lavender said happily.

Harry smiled warmly before getting up to greet her, "Hello Lav." Harry smiled before embracing her.

"I can't believe it. Of all the cabins we could've chosen, we chose yours and the only person you're sitting with is Fay." Lavender said in shock as she enjoyed being in his arms. She could do more but why rush things? They had the whole ride to talk and chat and considering the company she needed to play it cool.

"Yes and you've found a pair of twins. Do you remember which one is in your dorm." Harry said sarcastically.

Lavender and the twins cracked a smile, "This one is Parvati who is one of my roomies in Gryffindor and her sister Padma is lucky enough to be in Ravenclaw." Lavender smiled before pointing to each of the twins.

"Hi"

"Nice to meet you." Parvati and Padma said respectively.

"Nice to meet you girls. Forgive me ahead of time if I call you the wrong name but without our uniforms it's a bit harder to distinguish."

"We understand."

"And we promise not to hold it against you." the twins said together.

Lavender beamed, "Since we have some time to kill and these three don't really talk to you like I do, how about we play a game." Lavender suggested.

"Oh boy."

'This is bad." Parvati and Fay said together.

"Care to explain" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Being a junior reporter, Lavender is usually all about the gossip and likes to use games to get information that she might use later. She doesn't put stuff in the paper mind you, but it's still annoying." Parvati narrowed her eyes.

Lavender could only shrug, "This won't be anything crazy like that. I figured that each of us could ask you a question each and then you get to ask us one back." Lavender suggested.

"I'm game." Harry replied.

"Awesome so who's first." Lavender asked. Before anybody could say anything there was a loud whistle and the train began moving.

"Looks like our journey back has begun." Harry smiled.

"Yes but enough about that, which girl do you want to ask you a question first." Lavender said cheekily.

The easy answer would be Lavender, but he had a more fun idea in mind, "Fay. What about you." Harry smiled focusing on the brunette who had been silent for quite some time.

"Me!" Fay replied surprisingly.

"Yes." Harry answered. Lavender was a troublemaker and while the twins were interesting he wanted to wait on them.

Fay took a minute to gather herself before finally speaking up, "There was a rumor going around that an incident between you and Ron Weasley on the way up is the reason that you're not in Gryffindor now, is that rumor true." Fay replied.

"Before you say anything that wasn't me." Lavender said quickly clearly wanting to protect her image.

Harry chuckled, "I don't care who said it, but to answer your question, no. Despite what many would have you believe, I've always been a true Slytherin in terms of their traits. Not the ones that many in Gryffindor would suggest like being evil, but cunning and ambitious." Harry answered.

"Okay. I guess it's your turn to ask me." Fay said softly.

Harry knew exactly what to ask, "My question is this. Ever since Lavender and the twins came in you've gone from confident and blunt to nervous and timid. Is there any particular reason why." Harry said bluntly..

Fay blushed at being called out, "I don't do well in talking with other girls because I'm a bit of a tomboy. I don't care about all that fancy makeup and stuff, and I don't really like talking about boys because I know most of them won't give me a second look when I'm in the same dorm as somebody like Lavender." Fay answered with a solemn expression on her face.

"I see" Harry nodded.

Lavender's expression fell at the revelation, and she was determined to do right by her roommate, "In that case, let me help you Fay." Lavender offered.

"It's okay Lavender I."

"No it's not okay Fay. You should always be confident in yourself, and you're a really cute girl yourself. I've been working on Hermione with something similar and I'll gladly help you."

"Hermione has been different for a while." Fay noted.

"Yeah and now it's your turn. Let's bring out the pretty girl we both know is there." Lavender beamed.

Fay's expression brightened and that, "Thanks Lav." Fay smiled, and Harry sat back with a grin at the new development. This was exactly what Fay needed, and he hoped that it helped her moving forward.

No problem but now it's somebody else's turn to ask." Lavender smiled.

"In that case Parvati and Padma, you go next." Harry smile.

"Then I'll go first." Parvati smiled. "When Fay asked her question, you seemed annoyed at the way people viewed Slytherins as dark and evil. Why do you think that is?" Parvati questioned.

Harry smirked, "Because wizarding beliefs are incredibly inflexible, and since everyone places so much value on family, those beliefs are passed down from generation to generation and have almost become the norm. Salazar Slytherin is evil because he was seemingly against Muggleborn, and Godric Gryffindor is good because he's not. Families pass this idea down from generation to generation and a stigma eventually makes itself known. The fact that Slytherin's main traits are the type of thing that can lead to the creation of a dark wizard doesn't help. It's truthfully a vicious cycle."

The twins both smiled, "Are you sure that's not just magical Britan who thinks that way." Parvati smiled. Being from India the twins certainly thought differently about a lot of things.

"Hey" Lavender and Fay shouted in stereo. The fact Fay's shyness vanished was proof the girls got under their skin. "

"Hard to say. I haven't experienced the other cultures." Harry shrugged.

"Your turn to ask me something." Parvati smirked deciding to go first between the two.

 "You and Padma are the fourth set of twins I know of in this school. The other three both share a dorm with their siblings and yet you two are the only ones who are in a separate dorm. Was that something you intentionally did or is that a coincidence." Harry replied.

 "Intentional. If we were in the same dorm we would constantly be called the wrong name in class and otherwise which is extremely annoying and since most people don't pay enough attention to try and tell the difference, we saved ourselves the headache by going into a separate dorm." Parvati explained.

"Makes sense." Harry admitted.

Padma smiled, "My turn. What was the inspiration behind the Boy Who Lived Books." Padma asked.

Harry chuckled, "How ironic. The Gryffindor twin asks a philosophical question and the Ravenclaw twin asks one about adventures and bravery." Harry smirked.

Padma and Parvati blushed at that as Lavender and Fay both chuckled at their expense, "Answer the question." Padma pouted.

Harry smirked, "Dreams."

"What!" Padma replied in confusion and Parvati was the same.

"Ever since the incident where the Dark Lord fell, I would get sent various gifts from people and thank you cards. They would usually happen around my birthday which was odd because that shouldn't be public knowledge."

"Something to investigate." Lavender quipped..

'Go ahead, but the point is that when I turned five people started asking me what I was doing and frankly I had nothing to tell them. I felt guilty and as I talked to Sirius he came up with a fun idea. I would make up stories about cool adventures that I was going on and he'd publish them for the masses. It was tough at first because I wasn't very creative, but thankfully magic gave me an answer in the form of recurring dreams."

"You're kidding." Lavender said in disbelief, and the others were equally stunned.

"Nope. The first dream started about a month after I turned 6 and while it was simple, it did the job." I had the same dream for about a month, and I would write down what I remembered. Eventually it became the first book.

"The Orphan Extraordinaire." Padma answered.

"Yep. The next two books were the same way."

"And the Fourth." Fay asked as her confidence started to return.

"I'd rather not discuss the Fourth." Harry replied quickly.

Fay narrowed her eyes, "I see." Fay said with a scowl.

"What's wrong Fay. You seem bothered by something" Lavender wondered.. Fay's reaction to Harry was disturbing and she couldn't help but find out more.

"My cousin Emmilene Vance is an auror and played a part in the first wizarding war. When I was growing up she'd tell me stories. When the Boy Who Lived books came out, she and I would discuss them, and we'd actually take time comparing the tactics you used in some of your adventures to actual auror tactics.

The thing was, when I talked to her about Veela vacation she got an odd look on her face. She told me that I shouldn't discuss Veela Vacation with anybody in public and I had no idea why, but I went along with it" Fay explained.

Padma's eyes widened as she quickly realized what was going on, "That story wasn't a dream was it."

"No. That story is based off the only time that my mother and father ever left our hiding place" Harry frowned.

"So the two Veela girls from the story."

"Are actual sisters my parents met during that time. What should've been an amazing week ended up with them caught up in a horrible plot" Harry sighed.

Padma sighed, "Sorry I asked."

"It's not your fault. The sad fact is things are often hidden for a reason and that was one very particular example." Harry replied.

"You know. I think I'm done with this game." Lavender said solemnly.

"Agreed" the twins sighed.

"Yeah." Fay nodded.

Everyone was silent until the cart came but even after, the mood was just different. Veela Vacation was one of the darker books in the Boy Who Lived series and one that even Sirius himself sometimes regrets writing.

(Scene Skip)

Harry arrived in the Slytherin dorm and wasn't surprised to see Lyra Daphne and Tracey waiting for him on his couch. Shaking his head, he walked over but before he could say anything Tracey got up and sniffed him. "He's clean." Tracey said to Harry's bewilderment.

"Where did that come from." Harry wondered.

"You didn't join us in our compartment, so we assumed you found somebody else to spend time with." Tracey shrugged.

 "You do realize I can easily cast charms to clean myself." Harry reminded them but that was a mistake if the narrowing of the girls eyes was any indication.

 "So. Who was it?" Daphne asked angrily.

Harry realized he messed up and decided to add a little humor, "A fourth year girl from Hufflepuff named Nonya." Harry smiled.

"Who's Nonya." Lyra replied in confusion.

Tracey smiled having realized the trap he set, "Well played Harry." Tracey smirked.

"I try." Harry replied with a nod. Daphne smiled also having realized the trap he set.

Lyra took a second and then her face lit up in a blush, "You suck."

"I missed you too." Harry said with a grin.

"Can I come say hi or are you guys still flirting." Blaise smiled from the side.

"I think they're mad that I didn't join them for the ride." Harry replied.

"I see. What happened." Blaise asked curiously.

"Well, I decided to find an empty cabin and see who joined me." Harry replied.

"And who joined you." Blaise wondered.

"Lavender Brown, the Patil twins, and Fay Dunbar." Harry shrugged.

"The twins are pretty hot and so is Lavender. Fay's cute but she seems shy." Blaise acknowledged.

"Agreed. We spent the whole time talking."

"Just talked." Blaise asked with a raised eyebrow..

"Yes just talked.' Harry said with an eye roll.

"Damn. So did you at least make progress on the twins and Fay." Blaise questioned since most people knew he and Lavender were friendly.

"Zabini!" Lyra shouted.

"Was that Draco I just heard." Harry smirked.

Lyra was fuming and Daphne put a hand on her shoulder, "I think you've had enough fun at Lyra's expense for one day Harry."

"Agreed. So see you girls later" Harry smiled as he walked up to the guys section of the dorms before making his way to his room.

"Playing with fire like that is going to burn you one day." Blaise smiled as he stood by the entrance.

"Yes it will but until then I'll keep doing me." Harry replied as he sat on his bed.

"Fair enough. Out of curiosity, was that the first time you've spoken to Lyra." Blaise asked calmly.

 "Yep. Between you and me, I could've joined them if I really wanted but I didn't feel like talking about that bloody mess" Harry shrugged.

"Makes sense but I'm curious what you make of that whole thing." Blaise asked curiously. He and Harry got along pretty well prior to that, and that kind of thing should've been an eye opener for him.

"I think if Lucius wanted to stick it to me, you were the only option." Harry replied. The fact it wouldn't have worked went unsaid.

"I'll pretend to be offended but I get it. Crabbe and Goyle are who they are, and Nott is gay." Blaise shrugged.

"Truthfully, even if you were available, Lyra would've never agreed to it. She'd probably run away like my Aunt Andy and when Lucius kicked her out, she'd just join House Black."

"Gotcha. Out of curiosity, what would you say if I told you I was into one of your girls." Blaise wondered.

"I'd back away and give you the chance to make her yours." Harry replied quickly.

Blaise frowned, "Just like that. You'd give up."

Harry sighed as he fell onto his bed, "Every morning, I can walk downstairs and count on 1 of the girls in our year being there to greet me with the lone exception being Pansy. They all agree to share me despite how annoying it is. I'd be a hypocrite if I got angry at one of them showing interest in somebody else." Harry replied.

Blaise couldn't help but agree, "I gotcha man. Still, you should talk with Lyra sooner rather than later. Your situation was a mess before and the longer you stay away, the more annoying it gets.."

"I will at some point but maybe give it a day or two." Harry acknowledged.

"Got it." Blaise nodded as he left to return to his room. It was an insane situation and the best thing for Harry to do was to wait it out.

(Scene Skip)

Harry walked downstairs ready for the first 'morning meeting' of the new year and he was pleasantly surprised to see Lyra waiting by his favorite chair in her uniform. Taking a deep breath he walked over, and the blonde smiled when she saw him, "Morning Harry." Lyra said calmly.

"Morning Lyra." Harry replied as he sat next to her. This would be their first time alone since the party and as Blaise pointed out, they really did need to talk.

Lyra took a deep breath, "You and I haven't had a chance to properly talk since the party." Lyra acknowledged.

"We haven't but what is there really to say. Your father tried to marry you off and failed miserably while attempting the same with Draco, just to discover that not only was Blaise with somebody and Daphne was made mine earlier in the day."

Lyra was surprised by how blunt he was and of course she spoke to Daphne herself about that, "Yeah. She told me that her contract is a mistress contract, so who's going to be Lady Black." Lyra wondered.

"To be determined." Harry replied bluntly.

Lyra narrowed her eyes, "Do you have a candidate."

"No and frankly I'm not looking right now."

Lyra chuckled at that, "So that's it huh. You're going to continue to have fun with as many witches as you can knowing that you can get away with it."

"Yep." Harry said unapologetically.

"Merlin I hate you so much." Lyra groaned.

Harry rolled his eyes, "You don't hate me Lyra, you're frustrated by me." Harry said nonchalantly..

Lyra twitched because he was right, "What makes you say that."

"Because if you truly hated me, you wouldn't be here right now. You'd leave these mornings to Daphne Tracey or one of the other girls in Slytherin. The reality is you're frustrated because your dad tried to marry you off to spite me and it's a reminder of how helpless you are." Harry smiled.

Lyra sighed because she knew he was right. She liked Harry but the reality was her father tried to marry her off once and he would no doubt try again. "That's right. So what are you going to do about it." Lyra questioned. She knew the interest between them was mutual..

"See how things play out." Harry shrugged.

 "This is all a game to you isn't it." Lyra said angrily.

 "My dad may have married a muggle, but he was still raised in pureblood society and so was Sirius. Growing up, they constantly reminded me that purebloods manipulate everything they can to suit their desires and ambitions. Your father does it, I do it, I'm sure you've done it as well." Harry reminded her.

Lyra had to concede his point and smiled, "How in the world did anybody think ever you were a Gryffindor. You might be more Slytherin than anybody else. Certainly more than my brother." Lyra chuckled.

"That's not saying much. Draco only interacts with people he thinks he can control." Harry reminded her.

Lyra snorted, "And what about you."

"That would be telling on myself." Harry smiled as he got up and walked back to his room.

Lyra sat there until Daphne arrived with Tracey and the trio sat down and watched several students walk by for breakfast, "Something wrong Lyra." Daphne. Lyra was very concerned about something if the look on her face was any indication.

"I don't know." Lyra replied calmly. She hated how Harry was but in truth he was like every pureblood she knew growing up. It was a bittersweet way to look at things.

Daphne gave her a knowing glance, "Well let's get some breakfast. Maybe that'll get your mind off of everything." Daphne suggested.

"Yeah." Lyra replied with a smile.

As they walked down for breakfast, Daphne smiled internally, 'Seems you're finally starting to realize how terrifying Harry is Lyra.' Daphne thought to herself before glancing at Tracey who simply nodded because they both knew what was really bothering their long-time friend.

(Scene Skip)

Lyra sat patiently in Harry's favorite spot once class was over but much to her surprise, Harry never showed up. An hour passed by, and she could practically feel the eyes on her as she waited for him to arrive and continue what they talked about this morning. Making her way back to her room, she switched into casual clothes and walked over to knock on Daphne's door knocking on it calmly.

After a minute Daphne opened the door and she smiled, "Got tired of waiting for Harry."

Lyra twitched because Daphne was right on the money, "I'm going for a walk around the school. Want to join me."

"No problem." Daphne smiled. She just finished some work, and she could kill some time.

The girls went downstairs and left the dorm before walking around campus.

"So. Wanna tell me why you're so annoyed Lyra." Daphne smiled.

"This morning I sat with Harry in the usual spot."

"And." Daphne deadpanned.

"And we just talked."

"What's wrong with that. After what happened, I figured you guys would want to talk things out." Daphne replied.

"That's just it. We talked about what happened and what if anything. it means for me and him. Then he just left." Lyra said with a scowl.

Daphne smirked, "Sounds like a normal interaction to me."

Lyra replied, "That's the thing Daphne. Harry doesn't do normal interactions. The last time we had a truly normal interaction was our meeting at Madam Malkins.'

"You had one on the train, at least until you decided to escalate things by getting us to show off in our underwear." Daphne reminded her.

Lyra was about to respond but she looked up and saw Ron Weasley Seamus Finnegan and Dean Thomas, 'Ignore him. Ignore him. Ignore him.' Lyra thought to herself, but fate had other ideas.

"I'm surprised to see you out of the snake pit Malfoy." Ron said icily.

Lyra briefly considered embracing her inner Malfoy so to speak but only briefly, "Look Weasley I just want to have a nice walk around campus. Now, get lost.' Lyra scowled.

"Whatever. You're not worth my time anyway." Ron scoffed.

"We agree on something." Lyra replied and they walked away.

 "That was… peaceful." Daphne snorted.

"People like Weasley are predictable. They talk a lot but do nothing to back it up. Truthfully arguing with him is more trouble than it's worth." Lyra scoffed.

Daphne agreed, "Enough talk about Weasley let's get back to Harry and what you said. We've been spending time with him every day. Whether it's class meals or otherwise we're constants and yet you claim you two haven't had a normal interaction since Malkins."

Lyra paused for a second before speaking, "I don't know how to explain it Daphne. I feel like I was seeing Harry Potter for the first time this morning. How he just doesn't care about a lot, and treats everything like a game. I never saw him like that before." Lyra frowned.

Daphne sighed because it was hard to see the flaws in somebody when half the time they just ripped each other's clothes off and had sex, "So what are you going to do about it." Daphne wondered.

Lyra sighed, "I don't know. I guess I'll try and talk to him later."

'That's a mistake Lyra.' Daphne sighed mentally. She figured out Harry's game a while ago and it was a devious one.. Harry didn't manipulate people, he manipulated situations. Everything he did was calculated and just as importantly everything he didn't do was calculated. He was playing grand master level chess and everyone else was playing checkers. The worst part was he didn't need to initiate anything to get the result he wanted. All he did was enjoy the results and never lifted a finger himself. 

The walk finished without any more discussion and the girls walked back into the dorm. The two girls looked towards Harry's seat hoping to find him but that's when they noticed something odd. Higgs, the Slytherin seeker who almost got into a massive row with Harry over that very seat at the start of the year was sitting in a different chair and didn't even look at Harry's. 'Terrifying indeed' Daphne muttered as they went back up to their rooms.

(Scene Skip)

Harry smiled as he walked downstairs and found Lyra sitting on the couch but unlike their meeting on Monday, she was in casual clothes. "Morning Lyra." Harry smiled as he walked over and with a smile sat down next to her.

"Hey." Lyra blushed as she stood in front of him.

"So. How are you doing."

"Good. Harry… what… what do you think of me." Lyra wondered.

Harry sighed, "You know the answer to that Lyra. I think you're a lovely girl and somebody I enjoy spending time with."

Lyra frowned, "Spending time with or Spending Time With."

Harry smirked because he knew what she meant, "Both."

Lyra didn't like that answer at all, "Can I ask you something."

"Of course" Harry smiled.

"If Blaise didn't have his fiancé and the possibility existed that I became his betrothed, what would you do." Lyra wondered.

Harry smiled, "I'd be sad and congratulate Blaise because he's getting a lovely betrothed." Harry replied honestly.

Lyra blushed heavily at that, "Prat."

Harry smirked, "Truthfully when Draco told me what his father's plan was I laughed because the only option was Blaise. There's a clear power dynamic going on with Crabbe and Goyle and Theo is Theo so he's out." Harry shrugged.

"So Blaise was the only option amongst Slytherin's." Lyra said calmly.

"Yep and I knew that would fail also." Harry shrugged.

"You knew about the fiancé!" Lyra scowled.

"That was actually a surprise. I didn't think Blaise's mother would sign a contract with Lucius for anything."

Lyra frowned, "You've got it all figured out don't you."

"At this point yes." Harry smirked.

Lyra groaned, "You are the most frustrating person I've ever met."

"Why's that." Harry asked innocently.

"On the train you said you had no intention of letting me go and yet you don't seem bothered at all with idea of me getting engaged to somebody not named you."

"Is that what you think." Harry wondered.

"Yes."

Harry sighed, "The two statements aren't mutually exclusive. I still have no intention of letting you go but at the same time, I'm not concerned with you getting engaged."

"How's that possible." Lyra frowned.

Harry smiled, "I lived most of my life with people who've carved their own path in life. Dad married a Muggleborn despite being from a rich pureblood family. Sirius left his family who almost all turned towards Voldemort to join the Potters. My mother is a Muggleborn who thrived in a world of wizards to the point that a lot of wizards actually respected her. Aunt Andromeda married a Muggleborn herself despite family pressure. You are cut from the same cloth and we both know you'd love nothing more than to abandon the Malfoy's if you got a chance. In fact, I imagine you'd call yourself Lyra Black right now if you could." Harry said nonchalantly.

Lyra was amazed at how blunt Harry was and just as importantly how easily he read her situation, "You are infuriating." Lyra sighed as she finally moved towards the couch but instead of sitting next to Harry, she straddled him instead.

"And yet here you are straddling my waist in the common room." Harry teased.

"Shut up and kiss me." Lyra frowned as she leaned in to snog him. Harry was a puzzle that she couldn't solve, and she hated it. Until then, she'd keep playing with the pieces and hoped the final piece would reveal itself soon enough.

(Scene Skip)

The weekend was here, and Harry made his way over to the bath's as he had every Saturday morning. Opening the door, he walked in to find Tonks and Susan waiting for him in the bath with both girls bikini's, "Morning girls" Harry said with an odd expression on his face.

"You seem disappointed." Tonks teased.

Harry simply snapped his fingers which changed him into some simple swim trunks before walking, "Disappointed in seeing you two. Never." Harry replied.

"Don't lie Harry. I saw the frown on your face when you saw us in bikini's." Tonks smiled as she and Susan split apart making room for Harry on the opposite side of the bath.

Harry smiled as he swam in between them and wrapped his arms around the two girls, keeping his hands around their respective stomachs, "What guy wouldn't frown at not getting to see two beauties like yourselves in bikini's."

Susan and Tonks smiled, "Well played." Tonks nodded.

"Thank you." Harry acknowledged.

"Enough flattery though it's time to have a talk." Tonks said with a calm expression on her face.

"What's up." Harry wondered..

 "What do you think of my friends Megan and Hannah." Susan wondered.

Internally Harry shook his head because Susan was obvious, "They're cute but I haven't spoken to them so I can't say anything else." Harry replied calmly.

"Would you like that chance." Susna wondered.

"I'd never turn down a cute girl." Harry smiled. He probably should, considering how many girls were already on his schedule but oh well.

"Good because I really need to start focusing on N.E.W.T's so I probably won't visit you as often." Tonks frowned.

Harry shrugged at that, "In that case how about this. Monday can be bath time for the three of us, and then on Saturday's I can sneak over to the House elves area for a special breakfast with Megan Hannah and Susan."

Tonks raised an eyebrow, "I can't tell if I'm surprised or disappointed that you didn't try and get them into the baths."

Harry smirked, "Susan wasn't exactly comfortable with the idea at first so I figure we can bring up the topic later and use the breakfasts to get to know them."

"Fair point." Tonks shrugged.

"I guess this way you can have your cake and eat it too." Susan smiled.

"Exactly. Plus, I don't want to tell everyone about the baths just yet."

"Also fair point." Tonks smiled.

Susan smiled as she moved from Harry's arms to being in front of him, "Now that we've taken care of business. It's time for pleasure." Susan said as she stood up and undid her top allowing her breasts to break free once more with Tonks doing the same.

"It's good to be back at Hogwarts." Harry chuckled as he prepared to enjoy the two beautiful puffs as he had so many times before.
