"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Harry."
"You really don't need me to take you?"
"No... I can apparate myself."
"But you could be..."
"Harry, enough!" Fleur exclaimed before letting her shoulders slump a little at Harry's obvious concern. She didn't dislike Harry worrying so much about her, but she could take care of herself, now much more than yesterday.
"In just a few hours you taught me five new spells. That's enough with everything you've done for me."
Harry rubbed the back of his neck a little before nodding.
"I'm sorry if I bothered you too much, Fleur. But I consider you a good friend, one of the few people I can truly call a friend and also trust with most things."
Fleur nodded before smiling. She reached out and pulled Harry by his arm before kissing his cheek.
"Consider it a gift from me for what you did for me."
Harry raised an eyebrow before saying, "Fleur, I already told you that..."
"I'm not your type, yes. I think you've said it a lot lately, but I don't believe you one bit."
"Oh? So what does Miss Delacour think?" Harry asked with some curiosity. He crossed his arms and looked at her with a challenging smile.
"I think you, Harry Potter, would avoid and push away any girl, so that way she wouldn't be affected by your crazy life."
Harry looked at her a little surprised before giving her a somewhat lonely smile and closing his eyes.
"So Miss Delacour is truly intelligent."
Fleur looked at him with a little sadness before shaking her head.
"You should stop doing things like that, Harry. In the end you'll be left completely alone, with no one to trust."
"Do you even realize that those words can be misinterpreted? It almost seems like you're giving me..."
"Permission to chase me?" Fleur gave him a rather cocky smile, causing Harry to choke a little.
"So you're a cougar! I never thought that of you, Fleur!"
Harry only received a punch on the arm for those words.
"Okay, I'm sorry about that. But what do you want me to do now?" Harry smiled and said, "You're practically proposing, Fleur."
"Bah, who's proposing? I'm just saying that you're a good choice for a boyfriend, nothing more."
Harry raised his head forty degrees and looked up at the blue morning sky. His hands placed themselves on his hips as he thought about the memories he had received. Not all of them were the best, especially when it came to the people who were close to him. Sirius had died in a way that could have been avoided, William Weasley had almost died from a werewolf attack, Fred had died in that battle at Hogwarts, and his relationship with Ginny hadn't been the best.
He hadn't had children, but he would have liked to. After the third relationship after the breakup with Ginny, he had simply decided to immerse himself in certain jobs that didn't appear completely in the memories, there were simply the creations of the spells, but Harry supposed that perhaps it was part of the unspeakable ones.
But right now he wasn't his future self. He had knowledge and power, so he would definitely change some things.
Harry sighed as he lowered his head and gave Fleur a smile before he quickly approached and kissed the lips of a surprised Fleur.
When he pulled away, he smiled again.
"Since you say I'm a good choice for a boyfriend, then I think it's best to give you something so you don't forget me so soon."
"You... I... did... what?" Fleur didn't know how to respond as she touched his lips with her fingertips. He was totally surprised. She didn't feel that he rejected the kiss, nor did she feel that it was bad, but it completely surprised her. Harry had raised his head for a moment, as if he was deep in thought, but the next instant, he was kissing her.
Harry smiled and said, "If you behave, you might get another one."
"Oh, and please don't forget that this house and several things about me are secrets from the rest of the order. I let them keep thinking that."
Harry entered the house and closed the door a little, leaving only his head and hand visible as he waved goodbye before closing the door.
"Harry Potter!" Fleur let out an annoyed cry at being left like this. She stomped her foot before huffing and using Apparition.
Inside the house, Harry's expression had become much more serious as he watched out the window as Fleur left. When she disappeared, he called out to Dobby immediately.
"Dobby!"
The little boy immediately appeared.
"Do you need something, Mr. Harry Potter?"
"The plan I entrusted you with, how is it going?"
Hearing that question, Dobby stood up straighter and nodded vigorously a few times, causing his long ears to twitch a bit.
"Dobby did his job. Dobby thinks everything is ready, Mr. Harry Potter, sir."
"Good. I want you to take care of the rest."
"Dobby will. Dobby will do a great job, Harry Potter, sir."
Harry smiled before patting him on the head twice.
"Good, that's good. Thank you for everything, Dobby," thanking his little friend and the closest thing to a butler he's ever had, Harry went to the kitchen to make himself some tea before sitting in the living room and listening to some classical music, waiting for the moment when Dobby would complete his job.
...
"Ready? Dobby has some more work to do, is everything okay for Dobby to continue?"
In front of Dobby, stood another house elf. This little guy was different from Dobby, he looked much dirtier and only wore what looked like a sack with holes in it to cover his body. Since Dobby became Harry's house elf, Harry asked him if he could wear clothes he made himself, that way Harry wouldn't have to give anything away.
Now Dobby wore a cute black butler's suit and little shoes. His skin was much healthier and clearer, giving him a rather adorable appearance.
"Rimo thinks everything is in order... but... Rimo wonders if he can actually work," the other house elf looked at the ground nervously. Ever since he started working at the current home he was in, he had been mistreated, so he didn't feel quite right. Dobby had told him that if he listened to him, Harry Potter would allow him to work for him.
"Oh, yes, yes. Of course. The great Harry Potter has many ideas..." Dobby seemed really excited as he remembered the things Harry had told him and also because he was helping house elves in a situation he himself had been through.
"Mr. Harry Potter is going to need a lot of help in the future. That's why he asked Dobby to recruit friends. Not only to help against the bad wizards, but also so that more elves can live better."
Rimo looked at Dobby with shining eyes before nodding several times.
"Come on. You can come with me to go find the rest," Rimo nodded before disappearing, leaving Dobby to look at the large mansion that was in front of him. And before disappearing, he snapped his fingers.
BOOOOOM!!!
A thunderous noise echoed through the grounds just as much of the mansion exploded. Pieces of wood and concrete went flying before flames appeared and began to consume one side of the mansion. A cloud of dark smoke and ash began to rise as the pieces of wood with flames began to burn the grass and flowers in the yard.
