Dobby walked around the room looking at everyone. When he came back to Harry, he said "Dobby approves. Theys good people. Dobby thinks yous needs to watch out for the blond with big eyes. She bes trouble."
Harry laughed and said "Oh, I already know about Luna. She just may be my best friend but don't tell her I said that."
Luna spoke up "We are not friends Harry Potter. I already told you that I don't want you ruining my reputation."
"I love you Luna."
"I know."
"Hey, we've already talked about that."
She just smiled sweetly back at him.
Harry sat there for a minute before saying. "You once told me that Hogwarts was created not only as a magical school but also as a place to form friendships and alliances along with strengthening the current ones. The truth is I don't have a problem with most of the students at Hogwarts and now I find out that it is basically my fault for not making other friends. Did I like the way I was treated most of the time? Not really but other than whispering about me, most of them left me alone and my skin is not so thin that it really bothered me. My problem was with the people who claimed to be my friends and then weren't."
Tracey finally spoke up and said "Now that we have an explanation of why Harry Potter is the way he is. We can help."
Rebecca Greengrass said "The truth of the matter is that in most cases, the girls were sent to Hogwarts for the sole purpose of finding husbands. While the boys were making friends, so were we girls. Even though our husbands will never admit it, it is us ladies that hold the alliances together and create new ones because we like to visit while our children play with each other. It's these early friendships that spur closer relations between the houses. Don't they dear?"
Jonathan chuckled and said "Of course my love. I would be nothing without you."
She smirked "And don't you forget it."
"How could I my love, you remind me of it quite often."
Reginald leaned forward and whispered loudly to Harry "The secret to a happy life is to always make sure the wife is happy cause if momma isn't happy…"
Amos cut in and said "Ain't nobody happy."
Harry laughed "I learned that during week two. How long did it take you to figure it out?"
Kathleen laughed as she heard her husband mutter "A little bit longer that that."
Harry quietly asked "Were…did my parents act like you?"
Cecelia said "They were worse Harry. The bond made them very close and they loved each other a whole lot."
Kathleen added "They flirted so badly with each other even after they married that there was more than one occasion I had to go splash water on my face to try and cool down the blush. They even made Sirius blush on occasion."
Harry nodded and Lord Greengrass asked "Speaking of Sirius is there any truth to the rumor that you are listed as the heir to House Black?"
He realized he had made a mistake by the stormy expression that formed instantly on Harry's face. "I wouldn't know anything about that just like I really don't know the full details about House Potter. Is Sirius Black my godfather? Yes! Is he innocent of the charges against him? Yes! Does he have any children? Not that I know about but we are talking about Sirius. Do I plan to ever have anything to do with him again? No! He wasn't directly responsible for my parents' deaths but he had his part in it. He also hasn't been there for me my whole life. I blame him for your having to educate me of my station in life."
Lord Greengrass asked "What do you mean?"
"I realize he was in Azkaban for twelve of those years but when my parents were killed, he handed me off to Dumbledore so he could chase and get revenge on the real secret keeper. Last year, I saved him from the Dementors and he repays me by ignoring my pleas for help when my name came out of the cup. All Sirius Black has shown me is that he is a self centered child who didn't care enough about me to do what he promised. He's also shown that he will defer to Dumbledore and will not stand up for me at all. At this point, he, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew are traitors to the Potter family and will never be accepted as anything but."
Reginald said "Peter Pettigrew is dead."
"Then it amazes me that the rat was standing in front of me last year breathing just as I am now and confessing to his crimes against my family."
Megan shouted "Please drop this subject. We don't need it today. We can hash this out over the summer."
