Siren Princess (Harry Potter FanFiction)

Chapter 17

The next morning came too fast for Corvus liking who really didn't want to speak to the press. Topaz wouldn't be able to attend since she was the one who killed them. Along the fact that it wouldn't get nowhere since they will be staring at her adding to her ego.  Corvus sighs at the thought when a knock echoed through the room, he lifts his eyes upward to the door, "Coming in," he said.

Topaz walks in completely naked which was no surprise to Corvus, who said, "You better put something on before Mrs. Malfoy lectures you," Topaz shrugged as she made her way to him who was still in bed, not wanting to get out and deal with the press. "Here, so it can give you strength," she said, placing a small seashell in his hands similar to ones that little crabs use as their homes.

Only that this one is empty of said crab, "Put it to your ear," Topaz said. Corvus lifts the shell to his ear, hearing the sound of waves crashing and he could even smell the ocean or was it Topaz? She always cares like the ocean. "Is beautiful, Topaz. Thank You," Corvus said. Topaz smiles and gives him a quick hug, "Your welcome. I have to go Narcissa is coming," he chuckles watching her leave in a hurry and hearing Narcissa, "Put some clothes on!"

Corvus let out a burst of laughter hearing that along with Narcissa face as she entered his room shaking her head. "It will be a fight to get that girl to wear clothes," Narcissa said. She turns to Corvus, who was laughing his ass off which brought a smile to her face seeing his laughing face and having fun now. Since in an hour, it will not be fun especially for him.

"I brought you some clothes to wear for the press conference," she said, laying black trousers and loose white shirt she would have wished to have him wear something more proper, but that's not how Harry Potter dresses so they had to play along.

"I'll put the glamour on, and I will take it off after we get the annoying press out of the manor," Narcissa said and pulled her wand out casting the glamour spell. Changing Corvus into that face of Harry Potter along with his height changing, she could tell how Corvus hated having to put up the façade. Nevertheless, he will deal with it still for his revenge to the people who lied to him to get power and reaches.

Narcissa waited still Corvus finished getting ready in the bathroom before taking him to the room where the press conference will be held. The room itself is beautiful decorated, but that was pushed back since the room is filled with chairs, occupied by people from the press and others who Corvus didn't know. However, two did stand out, and that was headmaster Dumbledore and his head of house Minerva McGonagall.

Why are they here?  Corvus wonders while keeping his head low as he walked next to Narcissa whose grace and pride could only be from being raised in a pureblood family something Corvus was sure he will get if he stays with them.

Corvus took a seat with Narcissa next to him shooting glares at the Wizards taking pictures of them. Lucius cleared his throat to get their attention, "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to my home. I'm aware that you'll have many questions for young Potter here but please remember he is still healing from injuries he sustained from his relatives," a few grasp could be heard from around the room which cause a small tremble to run through Corvus.

Narcissa notices that and place at hand on his shoulder trying to give him any support she could. Remembering what condition they left him in made her blood boil, and now the whole wizard world had to find out what he had to go through something that went unnoticed in at Hogwarts. "Are you saying his injuries were caused by his relatives and not by the person who kidnapped him after killing said relatives?" a man asked.

Lucius nodded, "That's correct, but also the man cast some spells on him which luckily myself and my wife were able to remove," Lucius said. Corvus was glad that Lucius was doing most of the talking and his presence strengthen his words.

"Do you plan on looking after Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy?" Rita asked. "Yes, he needs to be care for and loved which he was not by those relative of his who endanger his life. Because he can do magic those Muggles hate magic and they tried to beat it out of the poor child," Narcissa said, drawing out small whispers from them. She glaring at the as a fierce mother protecting her child because that was what Corvus is to her child.

"Will he be attending Hogwarts for his third year?" a witch asked. "Yes depending how his health is by then but he will be attending with our son Draco, and I will ask for a resorting," Lucius said.

*Draco's room*

"Why are you frowning?" Draco asked, standing between the door and Topaz who didn't miss a moment to shred the clothes when Narcissa left. "It worries me that he might be bombed with questions," scanning the books on the shelves, "It's not easy talking to crowds even if that one is that big." Draco raised an eyebrow at that, what does she mean by that? Does she have experience talking to crowds?  he wondered not paying attention when Topaz pulled one of his books of the shelf and started reading.

"You can read?" Draco asked. Topaz shot him a glare, "You make it sound like its a surprise," Draco ran a hand through his hair, "Well yes. You live in the ocean and books aren't water proof," "They are not if they were made by humans," Topaz said. Draco eyes widen, "You mean they all can read," Topaz blinks and laughs while she shook her head, "Not every creature in the ocean can read the human language,"

Draco frowned, this is getting even more complex and it feels like she is not giving me a straight answer.
