Chapter 471 - Chapter 471

"Ohhh... Gawd," she moaned.

With a grin while facing away from her and pretending not to hear her, he walked into the ensuite, leaving the door open as he did. Calling back, he called, "You can shower with me, if you like!"

She joined him in the shower less than a minute later.

After Dobby again popped them straight into the corridor of the Lords' Quarters directly outside their apartment, both then walked in.

Hermione and Fleur were already up and, probably, waiting. Both looked at the pair of them and, while Fleur giggled and snickered, Hermione looked at Daphne in stunned surprise before breaking into giggles of her own.

A moment later she exclaimed, "Did I look like that?"

Fleur, still snickering, loudly replied, "Yes!"

A little embarrassed, Harry tried to defend himself. "Well, you said I was to make her first time as nice as I'd made yours!"

That was it for Fleur. She began laughing and rolling about on the sofa upon which she sat. And, while a little embarrassed at Harry's remark, Hermione was still giggling.

Daphne, smiling, said, "I need to go change before breakfast." Then, walking between the sofas and the coffee table, grabbed a hand each of Fleur and Hermione and dragged both girls after her to her bedroom.

Harry watched them go and, with a sigh of contentment, headed for the kitchen. Maybe he could sneak in and―

"Dobby be already preparings brekky, Master Harry!"

"Dammit!"

Harry was already in the dining room and making a start on his breakfast when the girls came looking for him.

Hermione, the first one in the door, walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Good boy!" she whispered, before taking the seat at his left hand and sitting down.

Fleur, not to outdone, also kissed him on the cheek and sat.

When Daphne came in a moment later, she was changed and took her own seat. "I thought we'd be going down to the Great Hall for breakfast?"

No one mentioned they'd not be going down to the Great Hall for breakfast, after all.

"Dobby had other ideas," replied Harry.

Once everyone had loaded a plate and were getting their breakfasts into them, Harry asked, "What're everyone's plans for the rest of the day?"

"Resting," Daphne immediately replied, before she then blushed on realising she'd said that out loud.

That had both other girls laughing again.

"Assignments," replied Fleur. "I have a lot of work to do."

Now that her tutors had been organised, though hadn't turned up yet, she was sent in advance a whole lot of work to do to prepare for when the first would turn up on the Monday.

Hermione asked, "Besides the meeting with the Alliance after lunch, what about you, Harry?"

"Oh, dammit," he sighed. "I'd forgotten about that."

That's when he got hit in the head with an unbuttered crumpet thrown by Daphne. "Hey!"

When he looked back in surprise, while Hermione and Fleur snickered, Daphne tried to glare at him, failing miserably in the process.

"I can't help it!" he almost whined. "I just... I was distracted!" And blushed.

"That's the endorphins, Harry," explained Hermione. "Give it a while and it'll wear off."

Eventually, Harry went back to the Room to exercise a little. But, he didn't engage in a full workout. Instead, it was just burning off energy he was after.

He was back after about an hour and happily turned to working on assignments. When he asked where Daphne was, Fleur smiled and replied, "Sleeping, I believe. I think you tired her out. I can... relate."

Harry's blush was only a light pinking of his cheeks, that time. He was getting better.

Daphne had put in another appearance just before lunch and, no longer sporting the just-got-shagged look the girls accused her of, the Potter four joined the other heirs in the trip to the Great Hall for lunch.

On the way, Neville asked, "Ready for the meeting this afternoon, Harry?"

"Yeah," he replied. "Where is it, by the way?"

Neville smirked at him and said, "Greengrass manor."

Just as they were sitting down at the Hufflepuff table, Harry noticed when Justin Finch-Fletchley entered and invited the boy to join them. Slightly surprisingly, he did.

While Harry was still his 'partner' in Transfiguration and the 'Longbottom Three' were in Herbology, he was not in Astronomy and History of Magic, being the four classes Gryffindor shared with Hufflepuff. Nor was he his partner in any of the electives as the boy shared his two electives, CoMC and Divination, mainly with the Ravenclaws. While Harry took CoMC, his classes were with the Slytherins and Finch-Fletchley didn't take Ancient Runes.

As the boy sat down opposite, he gave Harry a haughty sniff and asked, "Been away from the school for yestereve and this morn, my Lord Potter?" he asked.

Harry grinned and haughtily sniffed, "Nay, my Lord Finch-Fletchley. Verily, I was detained on matters of House by these three ladies fair."

That had both snicker at one another.

"This real you is so much fun, Potter," said Finch-Fletchley. "You take the mickey out of these titles of ours even more than I do."

As Finch-Fletchley hadn't, as yet, been properly introduced to Fleur, Harry quietly said, "My Lord Finch-Fletchley, I apologise that I have been remiss. I present Heiress Presumptive Fleur Isabel Delacour of the Venerable House of Delacour of magical France. Fleur, this is Lord Justin Finch-Fletchley, Viscount of Lonsdale, Heir Primary to His Lordship the Earl of Bedford and Heir Secondary to His Grace, the Duke of Kendal of the United Kingdom.

While Finch-Fletchley cocked a surprised eyebrow at Harry for knowing his titles and lineage, he still stood as Fleur offered her hand, grasped it with his main hand and lightly kissed the back of her fingers. "Charmed, My Lady. And please call me Justin."

"Fleur," said Fleur, as she smiled and withdrew her hand as Finch-Fletchley retook his seat.

Finch-Fletchley immediately turned to Harry and accused, "You've done your homework."
