"You see, I see a dark mark." Harry responded "because when I want something and an idiot gets in the way then I see a dark mark on their arms, as of the moment you're the idiot. Now, I won't kill you as you don't actually have a dark mark but don't think I'm above making sure you nearly die." The whole room was in silence, one first year had actually began saying a small prayer for Pansy, meanwhile Pansy couldn't back up anymore because there was a wall in the way.
"She's in her room" Pansy blurted out
"Turn right and third door from the end" Another Slytherin added
"Thanks" Harry walked past the Slytherin's and walked all the way to Daphne's room and knocked on the door "Daphne, it's me, Harry. Are you decent?"
"Harry?" The door flung open to reveal Daphne Greengrass "what are you doing here?"
"Waiting for you to invite me in" Harry shrugged, Daphne stepped back and allowed him to come in before closing the door
"Why are you here?" Daphne asked
"I had a talk with your sister" Harry replied "she told me about your concerns regarding me and Ginny leaving and the marriage contracts" Daphne stiffened, before regaining her composure
"It's nothing Harry, you have enough to worry about without me"
"It's not nothing" Harry insisted "there's nothing more important to me than family, like it or not, you are family and I am going to help you. Besides, I already have a plan"
"Plan?"
"You know that I am legally of age and allowed to do all things that adults do"
"Knowing you, you'd probably do it even if you weren't"
"Anyway" Harry continued "you know how we are unofficial brother and sister, how would you like to legally be my sister?"
"What?!" Daphne's eyes widened
"I'd like to make you a part of the Potter family and adopt you into the family"
"But Harry…why?" Daphne asked, disbelief and surprised covered her face
"If you do become a member of the Potter family then you will no longer be a Greengrass and the marriage contracts don't apply to you."
"But they will still apply to Astoria" Daphne objected
"Yes" Harry nodded "but hopefully by the time they can actually take effect we will be able to find a way to get rid of the contracts and if we don't then I will extend the same offer to Astoria. If we do get rid of the contracts then you and her can go back to being members of the Greengrass family. If not, then you have a home with me and Ginny."
"But…but we'd get in the way" Daphne didn't know why she was arguing but she felt like she had to.
"You can stay in our guest house, its right next the our house. You would have to walk all of thirty seconds to get to our house from it. The guest house isn't as good as our house but you should like it and if not then we can use expansion charms or add whatever you want to it. "
"What about our parents"
"You can visit them whenever you want and we'll talk to them about this together"
"What about Astoria?"
"Ginny is running the idea with her now, wait a sec… Ginny just told me that Astoria approves and is willing to do it if you are"
"But…"
"Daphne" Harry interrupted "I am stubborn enough to go against Dumbledore and Voldemort, do you really think you stand a chance?" Daphne took in his words, slowly a smile appeared on her face.
"I guess not…but, you're actually serious?"
"Yes" Harry answered "this Hogsmead weekend we can go to your parents and discuss it, if the people behind the contracts are death eaters then I can deal with them personally and if they're not then we'll see if we can deal with it using legal means and if not then I will adopt you into Potter family. If you do want to join the family then I'll key you into the house wards and give you an emergency portkey to take you there in case you ever need to escape a bad situation."
"Thank you Harry" Daphne hugged him tightly, Harry gently hugged her back. He felt his shoulder was getting a bit wet but he decided ignore it. Soon Daphne released him, she wiped the tears off of her face and the two began talking. They talked for a few minutes before Harry had to leave. They both stood up and Daphne insisted on walking him out.
"What are you talking about?!" He heard Draco Malfoy shout, Harry and Daphne entered the common room to find Malfoy shouting at Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott, the three hadn't notice him come in but the rest of the common room did. Harry gestured Daphne to stay. "What do you mean you aren't going to join?"
"Exactly what we said" Blaise replied "Harry has been kind to the two of us and asked for nothing in return, he never judged us or thought that we were just slimy snakes. We're not planning to prove him wrong"
"When the dark lord rises to power, he will kill Potter"
"Harry has beaten both Dumbledore and Voldemort, so I doubt that would happen. I'm not worried about death eaters either. You know how strong Harry is, we know that if he waned to kill you then you'd be dead right now."
"What about you?!" Draco ignored Blaise and turned on Nott "Potter put both of our fathers in Azkaban, join the dark lord and get revenge".
