Lessons and First Crushes
Hadrian was once again in Greengrass Manor. But this time, he was there for lessons. Lord Greengrass, or as he insisted on being called, Uncle Ares was explaining the need of a wand. Daphne raised her hand for a question. "Father. You said, that the wizards are the ones, that produce the Magic. Then why do we use wands?".
Ares hummed, that was a good question "Well, as I said, the Wizard or Witch is the one that produces the Magic, through their core. Now the reason we use wands, is to focus our magic. To direct it. Another factor is because we do not all have the same size core, that's why we use wands. For example, to someone with a bigger core, wandless magic comes easier, more naturally we might say.
But. No matter how big ones core is, during our first years of learning, wands are essential. That does not mean, you won't be practicing your wandless abilities." Daphne and Harry nodded. Harry was already practicing with Grandpa Sal, especially his fire magic. Ares continued. "Now children. There is one more thing, about cores. Each core, each magic has a different color. In order for you to be able to manipulate and control your Magic. You'll need to find your color." The kids looked confused, which made Ares chuckle.
"Hmm. Let me try and explain it a little bit better. Have you heard of Aura?" This time they nodded. "Good. When we are talking about Aura. We are actually talking about our Magic. Our Magic surrounds us in a dim colored light. Each color, has a different meaning, a different power more precisely. For example, my Aura, my Magic is a pale blue color. The only ones that can see your color, is you. Unless you unleash your magic, for others to see." Harry smiled "Like daddy and mummy?". Ares chuckled "Yes. Now, what we are going to do today, is try and see your colors." The kids nodded and started focusing. Harry was the first that succeeded, Orange and Emerald started dancing around him. It was faint, but still there. Ares gaped, he has never seen something like that. For someone that young to have such control and two colors even! Daphne looked at her friend in wonder. "How?" asked Ares and Harry opened his eyes "I got angry." Ares scratched his beared, Merlin the boy was powerful!!
Daphne pushed her lips and started concentrating. A faint Silver mist appeared around her, making Ares's eyes widen. His daughter was doing it! He could see his Daughter's Aura, her Magic and by Merlin it was Silver! Hadrian smiled at his friand and slowly took her hand. "Focus. Don't be scare, you are doing it already. Just let it out". She nodded and took a deep breath, tears gathered in her eyes and Harry griped her hand tighter "Let it out Daph, come on!". She screamed and a white blind light covered the room. When Ares opened his eyes again, was only to widen them even further. Harry was holding Daphne and their Magic was dancing all over. Orange and Emeralth thunders, were dancing with Silver lightning bolds. Both their eyes were glowing. "Merlin!" he whispered. He looked to the side, to find his wife holding her heart. They did not expect something like that.
Hadrian and Daphne looked up, but Daphne was mesmerized by the colors. She raised her hand and delicately touch one Emerald strand. A warm protective feeling bursted inside her looked at Harry, who was looking back at her, with a smile. She would never get enough of that smile, or those eyes. So she hugged him.
Estella smiled at her daughter. They had made the right choice, when they agreed with the Potters. She could see it now. Harry was going to protect her baby. She looked at her husband pride easily showing in her eyes. Her daughter was powerfull and she had an even more powerful futur husband. Ares smiled at his wife "I never thought I'll ever say this but. I am glad the Marauders approached us." She chuckled and whispered into his ear.

Albus was in his office. His plan with Snape had failed, miserably to be honest. So he needed to find another way to get the boy. But how? He couldn't even get close, with their pet werewolf lurking. Oh he was so disapointed in Remus. He wasn't supposed to accept his Wolf. He wasn't! And now, Merlin now he had killed Greyback. HE KILLED GREYBACK!! Remus Lupin was the Werewolf King. Now, if they were still under his thumb, he would have danced with glee. But no! They were Grey now! Bloody Grey!
How was he supposed to use the little brat, if they weren't light? He nedeed to find a different way. He poped a lemon drop in his mouth, when he finally found it. Snape! Severus went to the Potters, and surelly James wasn't very happy to see him. Yes. And if his manipulations rooted deep enought, then Snape would have made a scene, angering James to the point he reacted dark! Yes! All he needed were Severus's memories, to show to the Wizengamont and boom! The Potter are in Azkaban, or even better Kissed and Harry would go exactly where he's supposed to.
He walked to the Dungeons elated. Everything was getting back into their right place. He stopped in front of Severus's Door and knocked. Nothing. Albus frowned and knocked again. Still nothing. He opened the door and walked in "Severus?". But there was nobody there. Albus searched the room, no sign of Snape anywhere. This is bad, this is very bad. Did James actually killed him?! He could use that, but there was no body to show to the Wizengamont. With a furstrated sighn he fel into Snape's chair. There, he saw it, a letter with his name on it. He opened it.
Dear Albus
I Quit! By the time you've found the letter I would be far away from England. I am done being your lap dog. And before you go on about me being a Death Eater, know that I no longer bear The Mark!
Yes you read that right. I found a way to remove it and I succeeded. I am free. As for the Oath, it's null and Void. You hold no power over me Albus, not anymore. Don't try to find me.
Now I can finally say, what I really wanted to say to you. I hope you choke and die, with one of those BLOODY lemondrops old fucker!
Fuck off!
Severus T. Snape.
I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Albus screamed. He lost his Spy. HE LOST HIS BLOODY SPY! James Potter would pay!

Ηadrian had returned from The Greengrasses, to find his parents and uncles laughing in the livingroom. "Mama, Dad, Padfoot, Moony. What's up?". James stood up and lifted his son up his shoulders. "Nothing my little Bambi. Now tell us, how were the lessons?". James sat back to his seat, with Harry on his lap. Harry blushed, because he was a big boy now, he wasn't supposed to sit on his dad's lap.
He cleared his throat "Well. It was actually pretty nice. Uncle Ares taught us about Aura and Colors. He taught us that trick you did with your Magic. And I did it too, and the Daphne did it. Daphne's color was verry beautiful. It looked like Grandpa Sal's colors." He said with a blush, that made his dada smirk.
"So. Do you like spending time with Daphne and her beautiful colors Prongslette?" he asked making his son blush even harded. Lily giggled but slapped her husband's arm. "James! Do not tease our poor baby. It's not his fault that Daphne is a very pretty girl." She said with a wink, that made Harry hide his face into his father's torso. Sirius smirked at his unfortunate godson.
"So, Harry. Do you have a crush on Daphne?" he asked and in return, he got a very loud 'Padfoot', making them laugh. Lily finally took pitty on her son and took him, on her lap. "Darling, it's totally okey if you have a crush." Harry nodded and bit his lip. "Do you have a crush on Daphne?" he nodded.
"Yea. But, it's not. I mean, What if, what if I want to Marry her in the future?" he asked bitting his lip again. Lily smiled and hugged her son. "Well baby. There is something you need to know. You know, how we say that someone is bethroded to somebody else?" at his nod, she continued "Well, when you were younger. Me and your dad, went to Uncle Ares and Auntie Estella, to aske them if they would agree, for Daphne to marry you in the future. They agreed. So that means that Daphne is your future wife. Now, before I say more you need to understand a few things.
You and Daphne will get married in the future only if both of you want to. And only when you finish Hogwarts. One more thing you need to know is consent dear. Daphne might be your future wife, but she is not your property. Once you get older, you might want to become boyfriend and girlfriend and perhaps, do some more stuff that teenagers do. But you need to remember to always ask for concent. So tell me once again what I've taught you". Harry nodded "We always ask first if we can touch someone, and only hug them if they say it's okey".
Lily beamed at her son. "Exactly baby. Good job!" he smiled. James ruffled his son's hair. He had his first crush! "Dad. How do you tell a girl that you like her?" his dada chuckled. "Well, you usually just do. Maybe try and give her a present first, oh! And flowers. Girls love flowers." He smiled and nodded. Finally Harry stood up and went to find Vica, to tell her what happened today.
Lily put her head on Jame's shoulder "Our baby is having his first crush! Oh Merlin! Isn't he a little young for that James?" Sirius snorted, but Remus hit him in the back of the head. "Lily, I know you worry. Also don't listen to Prongs or Padfoot. Harry is having a child crush. Yes It happens to be with the girl he is ment to Marry, but is that bad? Would you prefer him being miserable and not in love? Besides, he is a child, he doesn't know what love means yet. Relax, there is no reason to panick. I mean you should be happy that he at least like Daphne." Lily smiled.
"Thank you Remus. What would I do without you?" he snorted "Probably be stuck with those overgrown children." He snikered when his husband hit him with a pillow. Yup definitely children. James laughed "Why Moony, you wound us." He dramatically clutched his heart. Lily shook her head and stood up. "Well boys. I'm going to put Harry to sleep. Try to not wake him up." They nodded.

Daphne was getting ready to sleep, when there was a knock on her door. Her mother walked in. "Dear, can we talk?" Daphne nodded and scooted over on her bed. Estella sat down next to her daughter. "I wanted you to know, how proud I was of you today. You were amazing! You were incredible!" She blushed.
"There is also one more thing we need to talk aboit." Said her mother sobering. "Do you like spending time, with Harry sweetheart?" That made Daphne blush, which made Estella let out a breath of relief. "I'll take that as a yes then?" at he daughter's nodd, she continiued "What if I told you that, maybe in the future you could Marry Harry?" Daphne looked up at that, her eyes shining bright "What do you mean?".
Estella smiled at Daphne's expression "I mean dear, that your Father and Harry's Dad agreed that when you two get older, you would get married." Daphne sqealed loudly at that. Harry was her best friend, her prince! She was very happy! Estella chuckled at her daughter's antics. They stayed up late talking about Harry and about how happy Daphne was. Turns out she also had a crush on Harry, especially after how he helped and held her today.
