"eh Harry, where did my aunt go?" Susan asked as she entered the room with a glass of water and some snacks.
"She said she will be right back." Harry did no go into details with the little girl.
"I'm really Sorry Harry. I had no idea she would behave like this. She is not a bad person, trust me. it's just her job that makes her like this." Susan started apologising.
"It's alright Susan. I understand. Sometimes we have to prove our worth to be taken seriously.." Harry said trying to teach her a valuable lesson of life from his experience.
"Those are some wise words Harry." Amelia walked back in at that moment and said.
Harry looked towards her and he couldn't take his eyes off her. Amelia still looked to be in her late 20s, her hairs red like Susan's, thick thighs and slightly more pronounced Bust and Bottom. Magic seems to have paid special care in maintaining her appearance as without her outer Robes covering her, Amelia Bones was oozing a raunchy sex appeal. At that moment Harry realised that his puberty has started.
"That seems to be a better place to keep your wand." Harry said in amusement looking towards her right leg. Amelia obviously caught him checking her out but decided to not say anything infront of Susan and just nodded maturely.
"By the way Susan, here-" Harry took out a gift wrapped box from his ring, " this is for you. Merry Christmas Susan." He gave susan the gift before wishing her with a hug.
"But Cristmas is tomorrow Harry." Susan said even as she happily excepted the gift.
"I didn't know if we will be able to meet tomorrow so I had already brought your gift along. And now I didn't want to take the gift back home, so decided to give it to you in advance." Harry explained with a shrug. Amelia obviously noticed his use of past tense and what he was implying but didn't comment on it as he did nothing wrong.
Susan opened her gift in front of them on Harry's insistence and took out a ring from it.
"Hmm? A ring?" Amelia asked raising a brow wanting to know if there was something interesting in it.
"Not just any ring Amelia. It is something I personally crafted and you will not find anything like this anywhere." Harry said proudly.
" Oh.. it's impressive that you have such talents at such a young age." Amelia said genuinely.
'that was a low blow Amelia. Was it necessary to bring my age in this.' Harry thought but kept his expression schooled and continued.
"I call this Protection Ring. It not only...." Harry explained the features of the ring and enjoyed watching Amelia's expression turning from amused to interested to surprised to shocked to speechless and finally to dazed. Harry immediately decided to keep this memory safe in an unbreakable bottle.
"Incredible... I truly underestimated you Harry.. I think everyone did." She was finally able speak coherently after a few minutes. She was beyond impressed by now and became really curious about Harry.
"Amelia.. I want to say something but only if you promise not to react against me." Harry said with hesitation.
"You didn't do anything illegal right?" Her eyes immediately narrowed.
"I haven't.." this time Harry said confidently. Not telling her that he was going to make Susan do something illegal and his other friends too.
"What is it?" She asked with a light frown.
"Promise me first." Harry was adamant. Amelia looked at him critically, thinking about everything before nodding. "I promise." She said.
"Look Susan, Your aunt has already promised me. Now if she breaks it then you will also learn to make fake promises. Right? You will also start to not respect her, right? " Harry immediately turned to Susan.
" That's right.. that's right." Susan immediately nodded also enjoying it.
" alright Harry ... Didn't I already promise you.." Amelia said gritting her teeth. 'this little devil'
" um so the thing is that Susan would need to blood bound it to truly activate it." Harry said not looking straight at Amelia's face already expecting her reaction.
"That's illegal. Blood magic is illegal. You are going-"
"- I'm not going anywhere. You promised. Look Susan. Your aunt seems to want to break our promise.." Harry immediately said.
"You.. " Amelia sighed. Just how many times has she be bested by this little devil today.
"FINE. You are not going anywhere. But there's still no way I'm going to let Susan do it." Amelia said with finality, or what she thought was final.
"Look Susan, you aunty is returning me the gift I brought for you. The gift made by my own hands. The gift that I made to protect you.. the gift that took me soo much time. The gift that this orphan child, who hasn't experienced any love for so many years, brought for his dear friend with expectations, care and love.. The gift.. "
" HARYY POTTER.. YOU ARE SHAMELESS.. " Amelia roard in fury and frustration making Harry jump.
" What this look susan . Look susan.. Shameless man.. using little girls tears to get your work done.." Amelia ranted her bountiful chest heaving up and down.
" Umm. Thanks for calling me man.." and that's how Amelia Bones realised that Harry Potter is not just 'a little devil', he is 'a shameless little devil fox reincarnate'.
"Aunty" Susan said in a quivering tone, her eyes wide, sparkling with unshed tears.
"Sigh.. I'm sorry Susan. Ofcourse you can keep it. It's your gift after all." Amelia said patting Susan's head.
"Thank you aunty. Harry, hurry.. tell me. How to bound it.." Susan gushed.
" Just pour a drop of your blood on it, then point your wand at it and say your name." Susan immediately followed in Amelia's supervision. Finally wearing it happily.
"Here Amelia, this is for you." Harry took out another gift box making her curious. She opened it and found a simple but aesthetically pleasing unisex Bracelet.
Harry explained its function getting an appreciative nod from her at his thoughtful gift. Amelia also didn't comment on how she needed to use blood magic to bound it already knowing the outcome.
