Chapter 18 A secret meeting

<Hogwarts>

<Early morning>

Harry and pansy are talking inside a empty classroom which is near the library. After they finished their kissing. She told him about her worries regarding her friends.

"Harry, my friends started to doubt me. What I suppose to do?" Pansy said to Harry. She doesn't want to reveal that she has a crush on him.

"Don't do anything. If you do something you will become more suspicious. Act like before we met. And everything will be back to normal," Harry said to Pansy. He is not worried about anyone.

Harry took a pouch out of his pocket. Which has 100 galleons which he promised to pansy.

He gave it to her.

"As I promised 100 galleons for your lessons," Harry said to her. She look at him for few seconds and then avert it to floor.

"You are a good kisser. Can we become friends in secret. I will tell you if someone will plot against you in Slytherin," Pansy said to Harry. He thought for a moment.

"I don't mind to make a friend from Slytherin. Are you sure you want to be my friend. I am sure you want to become friends with benefits," Harry said to pansy. He can literally see lust in her eyes.

"You already spoiled me by your kissing. You just don't know how much addictive is your kissing. I heard about kissing before and it never describe how you made me feel. I know you are with Cho Chang. But it will not hurt, if you keep me near," Pansy said to Harry. She has to be shameless in front of Harry. It is her only chance.

"What do you really want Pansy? I don't mind to have you as my friend with benefits. What is in your mind? I am not a mind reader, you know. You have to tell me clearly so I may not misunderstand your words," Harry said to Pansy. He wants to make sure about her thoughts.

"You are so cruel, you know. You literally want to know my feelings from my mouth. I desire you more than anything. It may sound odd but I feel happy and satisfied with you, even in secret. It all started with your kiss. I dream about you everyday. I don't mind if you ruin my body for your pleasure," Pansy said to Harry. He is stunt by her words.

'I did more damage than I imagined. Whose idea was it to use her as a kissing partner. It's my own fault,' Harry thought in his mind. He doesn't regret it.

"What can you do for me? I don't doubt your feelings but your loyalty. Where is your loyalty truly belong? I don't mind if you follow me secretly. Think and tell me anytime," Harry questioned Pansy. She couldn't understand it for few seconds.

"I believed that you belong to Dumbledore's faction. So you will not secretly gather people around you like you-know-who. May I know what are you thinking?" Pansy asked him. Her perspective of Harry changed suddenly.

"It is bad to answer someone's question by another question. You are following me now because of a simple kiss. But what will happen when I stand against the whole world. At that time where you see your loyalty? With me, or others," Harry clearly said to pansy. She is shocked for a moment on how to answer the question. After thinking for a moment she answered his question.

"That is a tough question. What if I stand in the other side and still loyal to you. Like a true Slytherin," Pansy said to Harry. She is not sure about her own answer.

"Spoke like a true Slytherin I believe. That is what I want you to do. And we may remain friends till the end," Harry said to pansy. She thought he is plotting something big but he only want her to spy on Slytherin side.

"Here I thought you are planning something big. You know how to make a girl excited, don't you. I plan to remain your secret friend with benefit. I don't think a girl can hold you longer in her grasp," Pansy said to Harry. She wants to remain close to him secretly.

Harry is standing near the door of classroom. She got up from the nearby bench and came close to Harry. But before she can say anything. Harry smiled at her.

"You brought a guest with you Pansy. I didn't expect her to come so soon after you," Harry said to Pansy. His words startled her. He took his wand quickly.

"Revelio," Harry casted a spell before Pansy can think who followed her.

Another girl appeared in the room near the door. And the door is opened.

"Oops, I got caught as soon as I entered. You surprised me Harry Potter," The girl said to Harry. She couldn't believe that some caught her.

"Miss Daphne greengrass, you shouldn't be here," Harry said to Daphne. Pansy is shocked to see her friend.

'Thank God it is Daphne, if Millicent or Tracey will be here, whole Slytherin would have known about my friendship with Harry,' Pansy thought in her mind. She knows Daphne will not tell about her secret without a solid reason.

"Daphne, what are doing here?" Pansy said to Daphne. She can see the emotion less face of Daphne is looking at her curiously. She made some distance from Harry. Their body was so close and anyone can misunderstand it with many things.

"I never thought that you will fall for Harry. And Harry, you already have a girlfriend if rumors are true about you and Cho Chang. You won't mind if I ask what are doing so close to each other," Daphne asked Harry and Pansy. She will not jump on conclusion. Till everything is proved to her.

"It is a private deal between me and pansy. It is already over. The matter between me and Cho Chang doesn't related to you. Like how your sister's blood curse doesn't related to me," Harry said to Daphne. She is shocked by the knowledge of her sister curse is known to Harry. But now it is also known to pansy. She will deal with her later about this matter.

"How do you know about my sister's curse? Nobody knows about it. No one in Hogwarts know about it aside from me. How?" Daphne asked Harry. She is shocked and horrified by Harry. 'If he knows about my sister then Merlin knows how much he knows about others. He is one scary kid among us. I truly underestimated him,' Daphne thought in her mind. She is sweating due to unknown fear.

"You can relax Daphne. You come to the right place. If you are looking for your sister's cure. I know a guy who can cure your sister," Harry said to Daphne. She relaxed a little but didn't drop her guard around him.

"Are you going to kiss her too. You are so cruel Harry. Even if I am here to satisfy you. You just have to ask me," Pansy said to Harry. Daphne also heard it. Harry just face plamed himself. He totally forgot about her for a second.

"You are one with too much imagination Pansy. Now shut up," Harry said to Pansy. She didn't said a word after that. She became totally submissive towards Harry in the last week.

"Who is that guy tell me?" Daphne asked Harry with a hope in her voice. Even Pansy was surprised by her attitude change in few minutes.

'If he is telling the truth then my sister will get cured. The earlier the better for her. But he has nothing to lose here. The person who will lose a sister is me if he doesn't tell me. Their is no guarantee if he is telling the truth,' Daphne thought in her mind. She is gritting her teeth when she saw Harry smiled and remained silent for few seconds. She is cursing him for his silence.

"Why should I tell you? I know the guy. He can treat your sister for free if he knows that I send you to him. We are so close yet no one knows about us. Before Pansy will say anything ridiculous. He is a man and a secret friend of mine," Harry said to Daphne. He again smiled at her. She wanted to attack him but couldn't. She is in need of a cure for her sister and cannot take a rash decision now.

"Please tell me. I will be forever indebted to you. I will watch your back even if we are from rival house," Daphne said to Harry. She didn't even negotiate in this matter. She has to do what he has to say.

Harry disappeared from the side of Pansy and appeared behind Daphne. He put a kunai on her throat.

"Apparition," Pansy and Daphne said together. Both are shocked by his display of power.

"I don't need your protection. If some one goes against me. He is dead from the start. One word and your sister is saved by my friend. She can live a long and happy life with you. You can see her grow, till her old age. And you offer me your protection which I don't need," Harry said to Daphne. He removed his kunai from her neck. She is more nervous now.

" I can tell my father. He will pay you a lot of money," Daphne said to Harry. Somewhere in her mind it doesn't look like an option. But still she tried her best.

"I have a lot of money. It equals your family vaults. Let me give you a offer which you can't even imagine. I will not take the payment till your sister is fully healed from her blood curse. I hope you like the offer now," Harry said to Daphne. She is now sure that whoever Harry mentioned knows how to heal the blood curse.

"What do you want? I don't have anything which interest you?" Daphne asked him. She felt like she is dealing with a devil. Who can ask for her life instead of her sister.

"Don't think too much. You have to become my maid and follow my orders. I always wanted a maid. I am sure you will become a powerful witch in the future. You will be more useful than pansy and I am sure of it," Harry said to her. She is shocked by what he asked from her. She has to serve as a maid under Harry. And he never mentioned the time limit for her service.

"Are you sure you want to make me your maid? You would have asked for anything. I can give you a house-elf in my place," Daphne said to Harry. Pansy is greeting her teeth like a mad person when she heard the condition.

"You don't understand the feeling when a maid serves. I have a lot of house-elf. But they are little stupid. And they don't understand everything. Or is it that you don't know anything about cooking or serving the food," Harry said to Daphne. She knows a lot of thing about cooking and serving the food. But the condition placed in front of her is not so simple. If she look at it through many ways.

"If you help me cure my sister. I can put up with your ridiculous condition. But I have to tell my father," Daphne said to Harry. Well he never expected the last words from her mouth.

'Isn't it suppose to be easy for a protoganist. They why she is involving her father. Daphne is more intelligent than I thought,' Harry thought in his mind. He is thinking a way by which he can eliminate her father's knowledge about her becoming a maid.

"Well you have to be my secret maid. Sometime secret agent like pansy. And most important thing you have to be a faithful maid. If your father will know about it then it will not remain secret," Harry said to her. Daphne's eye twitched for a second.

" You just made that up, didn't you. Do I even get a choice in this matter. My sister's life is in the line. Okay, I agree with your conditions. Now tell me who is the healer who can cure my sister. After my sister is healed I will act like your maid. At least tell me how much time I have to spend as your maid," Daphne asked Harry. She can see no way to escape from Harry's condition. And she can do anything for her sister.

"Secret maids are life long but I can give you a chance. You can resign anytime if you think that you paid for your sister's life in your eyes. I can sense others lie so you cannot lie to me," Harry said to Daphne. She looks more conflicted. For her Astoria's life is more precious than anyone. She cannot pay for it and that means basically she is stuck with him till her whole life.

"Now tell me about the person who can heal my sister," Daphne desperately asked him.

"You heard about him recently. He was the person who attacked Dumbledore recently. Many people doesn't know him personally. He is my cousin by blood," Harry said to her. She has fear in her mind when she heard his words. Pansy took sometime to understand his words.

" Madara uchiha is your relative. But you doesn't have a direct connection with him. How you are related to him?" Daphne asked him. She is sweating because of the recent events.

In her eyes Madara is very dangerous. He escaped after killing werewolves. He attacked Dumbledore and no action is taken against him. But he portrayed himself as a sincere man who is doing his family duty. Many pureblood family are cautious against him.

"In few days our Christmas holiday will begin. I will send him to your house. Tell your father that madara will pay a visit to your mansion," Harry said to Daphne. He doesn't want a misunderstanding before he enters in greengrass house.

"Did you know he is going to attack Dumbledore?" Pansy asked Harry. She is not sure why she asked him that question.

"That is none of your business pansy. But I did help him in finding Headmaster's chamber. After all we cannot leave our family heirloom in Dumbledore's care. Family always comes first even before Hogwarts," Harry said to both girls. They are terrified but such revelation.

"Please keep it a secret for your own safety. I don't think my cousin will take it kindly if you reveal it to anyone," Harry said to them. No one can even think that Harry and Madara are related.

Both girls nodded their head as if they understood what he meant by their safety.

" Do you believe that Madara can cure my sister?" Daphne asked Harry. She wanted to be sure about her sister's total recovery.

"He is a specialist in dark arts and how to remove them. Don't even dare to question his ability. He is the only person who can remove it in this whole world with such ease. No harm will be done during the process. Normally his conditions are more severe than me. If you are thinking about negotiating with him. Keep it out of your mind," Harry said to Daphne. She doesn't want to know what kind of conditions his cousin will put in front of her.

"Okay, I agree to keep your secret but what I will tell my father," Daphne asked Harry.

"Tell him that you got help from the secret friend of Madara. And you are under unbreakable vow and couldn't tell him anything. That will be sufficient to cover your story," Harry said to Daphne. Then he looked at pansy.

"I will not tell anyone. We know how much dangerous he can be," Pansy said to Harry. She doesn't want to harm Harry by any means. Her feelings for him changed in this week a lot.

"Let's conclude our secret meeting for now," Harry said to Daphne. He left the room. Pansy and Daphne left the room after some discussion among them. They didn't see the shadows which entered inside their own shadow.
