Chapter 104: Daphne's dilema

On the next day, Harry received an answer from Daphne. The meeting will take place on Monday at midday and will likely last until until night time.

Lord Greengrass was very easy to convince after learning what happened to his daughter after the Quidditch game and was absolutely furious with the Headmaster for allowing this to continue for this long without taking any measures.

Dumbledore was not going to a pleasant Monday. But to be fair, Harry did not think that he was going to be any better. He was not looking forward to fighting that beast one more time.

Daphne had of course wanted to know what he was planning on doing. Since it was big enough that it required the absence of the Headmaster.

But since she took Harry's request as her chance to return the favor of saving her, she did not push for information too much and did what he asked her.

That girl was truly curious. He only told her that it was related to the tremors but did not elaborate further.

Morning classes ended at 12 P.M. Harry had already prepared everything he was going to need in his bag. If all goes according to plan, he will be done before lunch is over and none will be the wiser.

All he had to do was blow up that girl's bathroom, go in, kill the snake, get out, and repair the damage. Very simple stuff.

Daphne had been more than dissatisfied with the 'Boy Who Lived'. The chubby boy looked to be always nervous or scared...or both. He was nothing like the rumors she had heard about him, or what those popular books displayed.

That night she dragged Tracey and went to find Longbottom to warn him about the trap. She did not expect to find Potter also there....but then, something happened.

With Argus Filch on their tail, she saw Potter take charge of the situation with a calm demeanor and guided them to safety.

He also did it by effortlessly opening a door that, she would later find out, should have been impossible for a student to open.

That day, it became clear to her that Harry Potter was a lot more capable than he let on.

Then it came the day of their first flying lesson and the event that started all those crazy rumors about Longbottom and his accidental magic.

She was probably the only one who noticed it because she was the only one keeping an eye on Potter instead of Longbottom.

But at the crucial time, when Longbottom had started to fall, she saw Harry make some strange movements and muttered something.

Moments later, Longbottom was saved and the rumors about his mystical accidental magic started to circulate around the school.

Daphne did not believe those rumors, because she was convinced it had been none other than Harry Potter, the one who had cast that spell.

She did not share her suspicions with Tracey, or anyone else, because they sounded almost as ridiculous as the stories about Longbottom.

However, she did decide to take an important step that day. She requested a meeting with him and made the suggestion of an alliance.

Her idea was to have her father meet Harry. Sebastian Greengrass was known for having a great sense of measuring people, a skill very much necessary for his job. So she wanted to see if her father could sense the same in Harry that she did.

When she heard her father made the proposal of an alliance with the Potters, Daphne had no more doubts about Harry Potter's suitability.

And after that day, Harry continued to surprise her with the amount of magical knowledge he seemed to possess.

More than anything, she wanted to know how far he could go. How much was he capable of doing and where did all this knowledge come from?

She needed to know...so today, she decided to follow him after class and find out...
