Harry Potter's sister ~~~ Fanfiction

Advice on boys part 83

"Harry?" asked Emma when he got back from his first Patronus lesson.

"Yeah?" replied Harry taking a seat by the Gryffindor Common Room fire.

"I've been thinking about the Birthday party." Answered Emma. "I was wondering if maybe we could invite people outside our little group."

"Well I don't consider our group little, but who were you thinking of?" Remarked Harry

"Well Ron's brothers for one thing." Replied Emma thoughtfully. "Fred and George already know about the Room and I'm sure Percy would keep it a secret if I asked nicely."

"I don't know, Percy is really a sucker for the rules." Said Harry.

"So is Hermione." Argued Emma. "I'm sure if I ask nicely I can swear him to secrecy."

"I'll think about it." Said Harry. "Anyone else?"

"Well since it's also going to be Luna's party I think we should invite that Ravenclaw she's friendly with, Ruth, and since Ruth's sister is dating Percy…"

"I'll think about it, but I can't see a problem with Ruth." said Harry. "I suppose we should add Lee to the guest list, he rarely goes anywhere without the twins."

"Probably and I think we can trust him to keep quiet about the room." Agreed Emma.

"Yeah." agreed Harry "I'll think about Percy and Penelope?"

"Uh huh." Answered Emma.

"I'll think about them, but I doubt Percy would mind keeping this a secret."

The party however was not going to be for a while. After her private moment with Harry, Hermione had calmed down quite a bit. She was still overworked but she was finding the strain far more manageable. In other developments Wood had Quidditch practices resume. Harry assured him that he was doing all he could to better his ability to counter the Dementors should they reinvade the pitch. He had not yet told anyone outside his group of friends about the Firebolt, in case it really did turn out to be dangerous and unsafe. Besides which his Nimbus 2000 was still one of the best brooms out there and more than capable of being used against Ravenclaw.

Unlike Hufflepuff, who'd got a new captain, or Slytherin, who'd managed to acquire some of the fastest brooms of the market, Ravenclaw had not significantly changed their style of practice at any time since Harry first came to Hogwarts. Unfortunately this didn't help him much as he had never actually had a chance to play them before. Fred and George joked that Ravenclaw would be easy to beat, but Oliver gave no quarter in the training sessions. It wasn't as bad as the sessions they had when training to play the Slytherins but it was still pretty intense.

"Look at it this way." Angelina summed up as the six members of the Quidditch team who weren't named Oliver walked back to the Common Room. "At least we didn't lose any skin from our knees."

"You didn't." grumbled Harry as he limped alongside everyone.

The girls all looked at him apologetically, while Fred tried not to look at him, it was his Bludger that caused Harry to skim the grass.

Nevertheless, Emma managed to heal the minor cut with her salve and life in general went on.

Since becoming aware of Emma and Harry's home life, Madam Pomfrey had been having regular meetings with both of them to make sure they were doing alright. When he spoke to Hermione, Harry was right in many ways, no one, not even the Hogwarts Matron, could fully stand in place of the Potters' parents. But Emma definitely felt that she had a lot to get out of her.
