Before the fire could expand out of the room and latch onto the surrounding forest, she placed her arm on his shoulder. "Enough, Harry! Pull on the leash. Control it."
Harry nodded, clenching his jaw, snapping his free hand into a fist. The fire abruptly guttered out, leaving nothing but a steaming, moistureless atmosphere behind, and a melted wall.
He holstered his wand and looked cockily at her. "You were saying?"
She just stared at him dubiously, taking back her words about his arrogance. She knew Harry was special. But not the extent of it.
Even now, she didn't know how special he was. The way he had conjured the fire element on the first try spoke volumes about his magical and mental prowess. It had taken her years to do what Harry had done in a single move.
He was steeped in mystery.
And it excited her. It had been a while since she was challenged. She felt her heart thump rapidly, giddiness bubbling in her stomach.
He was like an onion and she would take pleasure in unravelling every layer of it until there was nothing left to unravel. She would find it. She would find his every secret, his every specialty. Until there was nothing left to discover.
"That was brilliant, Harry. I am so proud of you. While your fire can be more refined, you have already grasped the difficult part. This following week we will concentrate on only fire. Now that I have seen how special you are, I am sure you will master the fire element quickly." She smiled, patting his head, reining in her emotions and not screaming ecstatically as she wanted.
She had been given the task to polish the gold, but she had come to discover that the gold was in fact the most precious diamond. How fortunate that she was given the first chance to use it.
"Thank you, aunty." He smiled happily, scratching his neck, a bit embarrassed by the direct praise.
She chuckled, ruffling his hair fondly. "I think it's enough for today. You can go home now."
"Okay. I'll go see Daphne first before returning home."
Proserpina winced, knowing that he wouldn't find her in the manor. "Daphne isn't home, Harry. She is still out for the family business."
All of Harry's cheer disappeared and a frown marred his face. "What is this family business again?"
"I can't say. Daphne wants to keep it a secret."
Harry sighed, pinching his nose. "How annoying. I so wanted to see her."
He magically checked his friend's health and was relieved that she was fine. It was good that the silver necklace which he had given her would also work like a tracker.
It would let him know if she was ever injured. At least she was safe at the moment, wherever she was and whatever she was doing.
"Don't make that long face. She will hopefully be home soon." Proserpina said weakly, trying to believe her own words.
"Let's hope so." He mumbled, fighting against the urge to teleport to her and bring her back, this family business be damned. He would have done that if he didn't fear the ire of his friend.
Instead of being happy, she would actually blame him for interfering in her matters.
He decided he would keep away until she needed his help. There was no need to act like a mother hen around her. Daphne wouldn't appreciate it.
She wasn't the type of girl who liked being fussed over. She would just feel suffocated.
"Then I'll go home." He told her.
She nodded, opening the hidden door.
She led him back to the living room where the fireplace was.
"Goodbye, aunty." He said, hugging her.
"See you tomorrow, Harry." She said softly, hugging him back.
"Oh, I think I can spare you this secret."
"What secret?"
"I don't need a floo to get home." He whispered in her ear.
Before she could question him further, his hands slipped down her waist, pressing over her silky long skirt of the yellow dress, causing her flesh to tingle as his palm slipped over her tight round buttocks, his fingers spreading to encompass the vastness of her curves but failing laughably.
She stiffened as he tightened his embrace and squeezed her bum. She gave out a shuddering moan, unintentionally pressing into him, burying her face in his neck, breathing in his masculine scent.
And then he loudly slapped her cheeks.
She let out a scandalous yelp and jumped back, rubbing her stinging arse.
She looked around for Harry, to give him a piece of her mind and glower until he would piss himself.
But he was already gone.
How?
That was a mystery.
Her annoyance vanished as she tried to figure out what happened.
She doubted he had apparated.
Maybe it was another secret of his, like he had said.
She licked her lips, smothering an animated grin.
'I will figure it out all soon.' She vowed.
---------
Harry snickered as he teleported home. He was curious to see how she would welcome him tomorrow.
Would she lecture him about his shameless behaviour or would she ignore it in favour of asking how he had disappeared?
Whatever she chose, he would have an answer. While he couldn't disclose about the Gamer System without accepting her into his Party System, he could still say some half-truths.
He trusted her enough to show off some of his abilities in her presence.
"Harry! Why are you smiling like that?"
The suspicious voice of his sister brought him out of his thoughts.
It looked like he had subconsciously walked into his sister's room where she sat at the desk with a crusty old notebook open before her.
"What are you reading?" He asked instead, moving behind her and resting his chin atop her shoulder, peaking at the book.
"Mum found her old notebook in which she had written all her favourite spells. She lent it to me once I asked her to teach me some cool spells." She answered idly, not minding as he nuzzled her neck and stared at the book.
