🕑 Added 2024-07-12 16:00:13 +0000 UTC"What's with that look Potter, you look as though you don't have a clue in the world." She stated with an amused tone.
"Um yeah, I was raised by my…. Relatives, in the muggle world, I don't have a clue about what all this House or Heiress stuff means sorry." Harry stated as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
Both Tracey and Daphne just looked at him with looks of shock on their faces and I sighed, "I suspected as much," I openly stated getting looks from all three of them and so I decided to elaborate.
"When you didn't immediately take Malfoy's hand when he was introducing himself to you, I had a suspicion that you weren't knowledgeable about the magical world and our customs so I stepped in just to be sure before you could end up making things hard on yourself." I stated.
Harry just looked at me confused, "what do you mean, he was just offering me his hand, I was going to politely tell him to get lost, not take it." He explained as he got wide-eyed looks from both Daphne and Tracey, he looked to them, "what?"
I sighed, "Potter, refusing a wizards hand when offered is just about the worst insult you can give them, especially when that hand is offered by a lord or Heir apparent of a magical house."
"By openly refusing it you basically stating that they are so far under you that it isn't even worth your time to shake his hand, it is a slap to the face of house Malfoy and every one of their allies to do so."
"So by refusing his hand you would have not just made one enemy but several families worth, not to mention the insult directed to mine and your grandmother's side of the family tree." I said, letting that little bit of information slip on purpose to get Harry's attention.
Harry was looking wide-eyed at me looking even more worried the whole time I was explaining how his one mistake could have made his life a lot more troublesome over something so small, but all that seemed to fall to second place when he heard my final statement, "we're… we're related?" He asked as shock covered his face.
I smirked and nodded, "Oh yes, your father's mother, Dorea Potter was Dorea Black before she married your grandfather, so that makes us second cousins." I smirked and said.
"Though sorry to say but it also means your related to Malfoy to the same extent as his mother was also a Black before she married into the Malfoy family. "
I studied Harry's face as I finished my little explanation and I could see him practically go green at the thought of being related to Malfoy but I could also see some look of hope in his eyes when he looked at me that made me smile and I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Sorry but you know what they say, you can't choose your family." I smirked making him chuckle in response as he looked down and I could hear him mutter under his tone, "I have family" making me smile.
Though our little moment was short lived when Daphne broke us up when she cleared her throat, "um.... not to break up this little moment or anything but there are more important matters that need to take priority here, like how Potter has just admitted that he knows nothing about magical houses and all that that entails." She stated rather urgently as Tracey nodded.
I sighed and nodded as I took my hand off Harry's shoulder as he looked at us all with confusion evident on his face, "why would I need to know any of that stuff." He asked clearly confused as all hell.
I looked at him with pity as I mentally cursed Dumbledore for his meddling and placing Harry with the Dursleys and keeping him so ignorant.
Given all the time I've been spending learning all I know about what is required of an heir and future lord of a house like ours.
I can see why it would be beneficial to start learning at a much younger age, it's only coming easier to me because I have the mind of an adult inside the body of a child.
It's going to be much harder on Harry to play catch up with all the stuff he will have to know, if he doesn't when he comes of age he's going to be thrown in the deep end with sharks and told to swim, it would be a political bloodbath.
"Potter…. Harry, if I may." I requested before clearing my throat, "your father James Potter, was from a pureblood house, the Most Noble and Most ancient house of Potter, a house of the same prestige and with roots just as far back as the House of Black and the House of Greengrass" I explained.
"Your father was, before he died, Lord Potter, and you as his only son, and the last Potter, are his heir, the heir apparent to the Most Noble and Most Ancient House of Potter and the Potter fortune, and when you turn seventeen you will become Lord Potter, head of house Potter." I explained dropping it all at once, no sense in letting it go easy at this point.
Harry just stood there gaping at me and looked to Daphne and Tracey before looking back to me, "t-this is a joke right, I-I can't become a Lord, I'm Harry… just Harry." He said clearly in shock and denial.
I shook my head, "um.... sorry Harry, but it's true, if it helps I'm in the same boat as you, a month ago I didn't know about the magical world or about my family, and I've spent the past month learning about them and my future responsibilities as Lord Black." I smirked.
Harry swallowed hard as he looked at me as I saw the same look of hope in eyes as I did before but then Daphne spoke up again.
