Chapter 49

Mates and Prefects and Rita Skeeter’s fate: Oh-My

Before any of them could start talking Snape hissed in pain and grabbed his left forearm. The potions master left quickly after they entered the kitchen. He told Draco he would send him an owl when it was safe to return. Draco watched his godfather leave with a worried look on his face, but he didn’t say anything.

They were all in the small kitchen. George was sitting on the counter and Harri was sitting next to him, there hands intertwined. Draco was leaning against the sink in the corner of the room, while the adults all sat at the table. It took about fifteen minutes for Harri to fully explain what had happened over the summer to Sirius and Remus. Both of them were looking murderous by the end of her story. “He tried to rape you?” Sirius growled, grey eyes narrowed dangerously.

“He tried, but I shattered his nose and then broke his arm in five places instead. George came a few days later and any damage done was reversed. That’s why you didn’t see any bruises when you called me later in the week. Hedwig carried him from his house to my Aunt and Uncles,” she explained.

“How did Hedwig carry him into your room? He isn’t exactly light,” Remus asked curiously.

George hopped off the counter and smirked. Harri rolled her eyes and watched him change shape. In his place was a small fox that jumped back onto the counter and curled up in Harri’s lap.

“Ah, he finally finished learning how to change into an animagus...” Sirius commented, “it took you long enough. James and I managed to do it in our fifth year. You and your brother a slacking, George.”

Harri laughed as she pet the fox behind the ears. “Well, he didn’t know you were an animagus during your school days until I told him. If Draco, Hermione and I weren’t working on the potions before school let out they would never have known,” Harri told them grinning.

“You have a form too? Show me!” Sirius said excitedly, but Harri shook her head with a grin.

“Nope, George is the only person who knows what my form is and I’m not telling till the time is right,” Harri said with a wink directed towards George, who hid his face in Harri’s stomach at the extra attention. She figured if he was in his human form he would be blushing as red as his hair.

Sirius’ eyes narrowed at his goddaughter’s obvious flirting with her boyfriend, even if he’s in his fox form. “And how long has your boyfriend been staying with you at your aunt and uncle’s house?” He questioned, glaring daggers at George.

“Sirius, if George wasn’t there, I’d be dead. The closer I come to my inheritance the more we have to be close to each other. I barely made it a week without him near me. I was luckily that he managed to escape without Mrs. Weasley knowing,” Harri replied, petting George soothingly, calming him down.

“Molly doesn’t know that you left?” Remus asked shocked and Harri chuckled as George nodded and hopped back onto the floor and changed back into their favorite messy haired ginger.

“Fred has been pretending to be both of us. He knows that mum would never agree to letting me visit Harri. She thinks that what we have is a passing fling and I’ll marry a girl from a stable family. I’ve tried to explain things to her, but she won’t listen. So, I snuck out when Hedwig came. She managed to carry me to Surrey as a fox, she’s a really strong owl,” George explained, a light blush dusting his cheeks.

“Well, I don’t know how you’re going to get past your mother, now. She’s at the Order’s Headquarters right now with the rest of your family,” Remus told George with a small grin. He wasn’t happy that he had been with his niece all summer, but at the same time it was good that he saved her life.
