🕑 Added 2023-05-15 08:54:10 +0000 UTC~~Room of Requirement, Hogwarts~~
Daphne finally finished defeating the third batch of golems and slumped down on the floor while breathing heavily… For now, this much was her limit, and while anyone would find her poweress beyond impressive, she wasn’t satisfied. She knew that she needed to become much stronger if she wanted to protect her family from the Dark Lord and his followers.
Though she wasn’t able to stop a feral grin from surfacing on her face… Even though she knew that she wasn’t ready for the upcoming war yet, she was most definitely ready to deal with someone like Dolores Umbridge. She already had a date in her mind and now she only needed to dot all of her ‘I’s while crossing her ‘T’s, but that is when someone decided to pour cold water on her glee.
Daphne was completely taken aback when someone spoke to her and she had to forcefully stop herself from casting anything lethal… Her knee-jerk reaction was to kill the person who had probably discovered some of her secrets, but she ultimately decided to simply knock out the person before Obliviating them. The consequences of killing someone inside the school at this moment would be quite dire.
So, without wasting any time, she twisted her body and cast Stunning Charm, but much to her shock, the boy effortlessly batted away her Spell. It only took her a moment to recognize the boy as Harry Potter, but she couldn’t help but wonder what he was doing here in Hogwarts at this time… She started to wonder if Dumbledore finally managed to bring the boy back to Britain for the Tournament…
“You are fast, but not fast enough” The boy said mockingly, and even though Daphne’s temper flared at his words, she didn’t give in to her anger. Instead, she decided to make the great Harry Potter eat his words with her actions.
With a cold look on her face, Daphne started to attack Harry, but he continued to bat away her Spells with extreme ease. “Haha!! This is it! Show me what you got!” Harry exclaimed loudly as he started to step forward and it was Daphne who started to get pushed back even though Harry was simply batting away her Spells.
‘Impossible! This is impossible! How is he doing this?!’ Daphne raged inside her mind. Yes, she was tired, but she was still strong enough to at least beat a fourth year student. This Harry Potter was nothing like the Harry Potter of her world… Though she couldn’t help but wonder if the person she was facing was even Harry Potter or not in the first place.
“You are good, but you are not good enough” Harry declared as he batted away a Bone Breaker.
Daphne felt her temper flare up at Harry’s words and instead of keeping her cool, she snapped. There was only so much mocking she could take from a 14 year old brat. “I will show you good enough!” Daphne snarled and golems started to form along the walls of the room. Harry raised his brows as he looked around at the golems. Instead of twenty, there were forty golems this time and the golems seemed to be much bigger than what Daphne was using for her training.
“Still not good enough” Harry declared with an amused grin on his face as lightning started to erupt from his whole body, surprising Daphne. Previously, Harry was using his Wand to bat away the Spells as he didn’t want to hurt her delicate sensibilities, but he finally decided to give up all pretenses…
Harry opened his arms wide and massive lightning bolts started to shoot out of his arms, moments later, Harry finally released the lightning shockwave, which destroyed everything in its path, but the lightning bolts nimbly avoided Daphne who could only stare at Harry and golems with a dumb look on her face as the lightning bolts ripped apart the golems. Daphne dumbly lowered her Wand as she didn’t know what else to do.
‘How…?’ Daphne questioned herself inside her mind. ‘How is he so powerful? This is so fucked up…’ Daphne internally groaned at the unfairness of the world. She already knew that the world of Magic was completely unfair or she would have been equally strong as Voldemort or Dumbledore. She stared at Harry Potter warily as she realized that he was also out of her league.
Daphne clutched her hands tightly in anger and frustration… She didn’t even notice the fact that her nails were digging into the skin of her palms… She bit her lip hard enough to make it bleed as she balefully glared at him, but Harry seemed to be completely oblivious to the glare… Here she was, pushing herself beyond limits to gain more power so that she could keep her family safe during the war, but some people were simply born with unimaginable power…
Even in her world, Harry Potter was called the chosen one. At that time, she never understood why, but now she knew the answer…
“I don’t believe I did anything to deserve that look” Harry said, breaking her out of her musings, and Daphne finally stopped glaring at Harry. “Come on, let me heal your hands and your lips” Harry offered, and now that he mentioned it, Daphne finally realized that she was bleeding from her palms and mouth. She quickly used her robes to wipe off the blood.
“It won’t be necessary” She quickly refused the offer coldly as she didn’t want to get close to the boy.
“If I wanted to kill you, then you would have been long dead” Harry said dryly while giving her a blank look, and even though Daphne didn’t want to admit it, she realized Harry was right. “Come, let me heal your hands” Harry offered again and after pondering for a few moments, Daphne finally decided to give in. Harry grinned and started to approach her.
Harry arrived in front of her and urged her to extend her hands… The girl did so and he healed her hands with a simple wave of his hands, surprising her again. “How are you doing that? How are you casting Magic Wandlessly?” The girl asked somewhat angrily.
“Practice, a lot of practice” Harry lied straight through his teeth and the girl simply scoffed at him.
“I have never seen Dumbledore use Wandless Magic to this extent and he is a century older than you” The girl argued back, making Harry grin.
“Maybe he isn’t strong enough or maybe his age is finally catching up to him” Harry said in an amused tone, and it was clear that the girl didn’t believe him, but technically, he wasn’t lying. Dumbledore was simply not strong enough when compared to him. Yes, the man was much more experienced than him, but that was no longer the truth. He was equal to Albus when it came to experience.
“Ah… Forgive my manners. Even though you probably already know me, I am Harry Potter” Harry introduced himself.
“Daphne Greengrass” Daphne finally introduced herself and grabbed her hand and brushed his lips on the back of her palm, much to his mother’s chagrin. “So, do you have any plans for the Tournament?” Daphne asked. After all, the Tournament was probably the only reason why Harry Potter would come to Hogwarts.
“I have no plans of participating” Harry declared, much to Daphne’s surprise.
“But what about your Magic?” Daphne ended up asking before she could stop herself.
“Worried about me, Miss Greengrass?” Harry asked in an amused tone, making Daphne glare at him.
“Then why are you here?” Daphne asked as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, pushing up her budding chest.
“I wanted to take a look at the so-called Goblet of Fire, so here I am” Harry lied again. “By the way, I heard that I should be careful about Argus Filch, can you tell me where he usually is at this time?” Harry asked curiously.
Daphne pursed her lips in displeasure… She was almost certain that Harry wasn’t here to inspect the Goblet and a part of her appreciated the fact that this Harry Potter wasn’t a foolish Gryffindor like the Harry Potter of her own world, but the rest of her was annoyed with the fact that Harry Potter was in Hogwarts with questionable intentions.
Not knowing his intentions bothered her quite a bit and she would have tortured the information out of him only if she was stronger than him…
“I am not sure, but he usually starts his rounds from his dungeons” Daphne answered after a few moments of silence and Harry nodded his head in appreciation.
“I see” Harry muttered as he nodded his head in understanding. “So, how did you find this training room?” Harry asked as he looked around.
“I asked one of the house elves” Daphne lied without missing a beat and Harry immediately knew that she was lying. He already knew how to access the room, so he decided to inspect the room later on his own or he could always ask Norton to learn everything he could from the Hogwarts house elves.
“It was nice to meet you, Miss Greengrass, but I should get going…” Harry waved at her as he produced a card and handed it to Daphne. The girl stared at the card questioningly before finally looking at Harry with raised brows…
“Lost Garden?” Daphne asked with a frown.
“That is my group. I found you interesting so I decided to extend an invitation to you. Just tap your Wand on the card and someone will reach out to you” Harry explained with a smile before he turned around and started to walk away. Daphne stared down at the card before looking up at Harry’s back… The whole conversation was a completely new experience for her.
“I will see you again, Daphne Greengrass…” Harry said without looking back as he stepped out of the room…
