HP: The Secret Heir.

Ch. 07 Hi dad?

The next morning was not that eventful I woke up and someone tried to prank me by mixing potions in my food, trying to curse me behind my back and trying to enter my room to destroy my stuff.

Unfortunately for them I always check my food, having good reflexes I dodged any curses and jinx and I put most of my stuff back in my trunk and put a curse on it so that only I could open it, basically the key was my fingerprint.

I was with Victoria in the library, she was reading about potions, I was reading about rune logic. We were both having a tough time adjusting to Slytherin, I was having a hard time because I was thought of as a mudblood someone who was undeserving to be in the Slytherin House. Victoria was having a hard time because of her brother.

We both were engrossed in our studies but we were disturbed when we heard "Victoria, What did you mean you are not going to change houses." It was Harry's voice.

Victoria put her book down and looked at Harry and Ron was there as well "What do you want?" She gave an eye roll.

"Dad had sent me a Howler and it shouted that you are not going to the Griffindor house even though Headmaster was willing to make a change?" Harry's voice was agitated. I just covered my face with my book. "It's because of him? Isn't it?" he pointed at me.

Victoria got up from the chair she faces was red and she pointed her finger at harry almost jabbing it and said: "Don't you dare bring Jonathan into this, he has been helping me since I have got to know him."

Everyone was now looking at me and I just felt that I was in the middle of a soap opera. Ron decided to provide his insight which how should I put it; It was like throwing gas on a fire "He might be getting close to you so that he could gain Harry's favour. And we don't know who he is?"

Victoria gave Ron a scowl and said "Oh, yeah you are right because who would want to talk to me I am just the lowly sister of THE GREAT HARRY POTTER!". Victoria was red with anger and had some tears in her eyes.

Everyone was now looking at us I stood up and walked to her I took out my handkerchief and wiped her tears I then looked at Harry and said "Look I get it you are worried about your sister and I get it is hard trusting someone you don't know with a loved one but I can assure you that Victoria is my friend I will take good care of her. you understand?" Harry nodded "Good, now I believe I should take her somewhere else wouldn't want to make a greater scene"

While we were about to leave I gave Harry my hand and said "Hi, I am Jonathan, I am your sister's friend and a Slytherin. I hope we could have met in different circumstances. You should talk to your sister when she calms down, okay?" I gave Ron a Nod and moved out.

I took Victoria and left the library.

Ron put his hands on Harry's shoulder and Ron said "Sorry, Harry because of me your sister got upset."
Harry looked at us leaving and said "We should have handled the situation better."

I held Victoria's hand and was talking her somewhere
She wiped her tear and asked, "W-Where are we going?"

"You will know when we get there," I said with a warm smile that calmed her down.

After a while, we were at the kitchen which was located directly under the Great Hall, down the staircase leading to the Hufflepuff Basement.
Downstairs, in a broad stone basement corridor, brightly lit and decorated with food-themed paintings, one could tickle a pear on a painting of a bowl of fruit. The pear would giggle and turned into a large green door handle, revealing the entrance to the Hogwarts kitchens.

Victoria was surprised to see the room some of the house-elves worked continuously and didn't pay any attention to us.

She pulled my arm and asked, "How did you found this place?"
