32 Chapter 32

Harry was rather surprised to see a letter addressed to him being delivered on the second day of the summer holidays and he was even more surprised by the content, Daphne and Tracey had invited him to spend fifteen days with them at Daphne's grandmother's villa in France. Harry found out that Terry, Luna and Padma were also coming so Harry immediately rushed downstairs and showed the letter to his Mom, who was sad at him going away for another fifteen days, agreed for him to go, Harry hugged her tightly, " you are the vest mom in the world, " he said and raced off to pack his belongings.

Harry said his goodbye to his sister and touched the Portkey included in the letter and muttered the activation phrase and he felt the usual sensation of a hook behind his navel, but he had travelled by Portkey before and his mother Amelia had taught him how to land smoothly during a Portkey ride and so he casually landed before the gates of an incredibly large and beautiful French style Villa, and saw Daphne waiting for him.

Daphne immediately hugged him saying, " Thank you for coming Harry, Me and Tracey usually get bored here and so my grandma agreed to let us invite our friends to stay for a few days, Padma and Terry are already here and so is my Little Sister Astoria. "

Harry hugged her back saying, "thanks for the invitation, thus is my first time outside England. "Now, why don't you introduce me to your Grandmother and Sister? "

Harry was impressed on seeing Lady Dahlia Rosier, Daphne's maternal Grandmother, she carried herself with an undeniable grace and sophistication even at her age, she reminded him of his own grandmother. Harry gently took her palm in his hand and kissed it saying, " Lady Rosier, its a pleasure to make the acquaintance of such a beauty and please accept my thanks for inviting me to spend time at your beautiful house. "

She just laughed loudly and said, " My My Mr.Potter, you definitely will be a heartbreaker in the future, and it seems that you have inherited your grandmother's silver tongue. "

Harry asked her surprised, " Do you know my Grandmother well? "

" Know her well, sweetheart me and Dorea have been close friends for nearly 4 decades, why your grandmother just visited me just two days ago. I am so glad that you and Daphne are friends. "

Harry was suddenly bombarded by a barrage of questions by a smaller version of Daphne, " Are you Harry? Hi, I am Astoria. Are you a Slytherin? Are you Daphne's Boyfriend? " when suddenly Daphne shut little blonde's mouth without her hand while blushing profusely.

" Astoria, you little pest , I am going to kill you!" and raced off after Astoria as she loudly sang, " Harry and Daphne sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G" as she fleed Daphne's wrath.

Harry enjoyed his time spent at the Villa. During his time there Harry found that Astoria was the complete opposite of Daphne, she was outspoken, mischievous and a huge quidditch fan completely unlike Daphne who was calm, an introvert and hated being in the air. Astoria and Daphne got on excellently with each other like a house on fire and drove Daphne spare with their antics.

Harry heard a lot of stories about his grandmother and grandfather from Lady Dahlia who had convinced Harry to address her as Aunt Dahlia. She had taken a liking to Harry and even taught him a few duelling tricks as she was a former duelling champion. Harry spent most if the time gooding off with his friends or completing their summer homework, which Harry completed in a week and helped his friends in the subjects they were weak in.

Harry hugged his friends and Aunt Dahlia and said his goodbye as he returned to Godrics Hollow, and was surprised to see his grandmother at his home, but he immediately hugged her and said, " it is good to see you grandma, it has been a long time since I saw you, but what are you doing here? "

Dorea just smiled and said, " I am babysitting your sister, you mother is not at home she went to Diagon Alley and Hyacinth didn't want to stay at Potter Manor. So, I heard that you stayed at my friend Dahlia's house for a while. "

Harry nodded his head and told her about all his stay in France and they were joined bybhis sister qhom Harry told about Astoria and told her to try to befriend her as I had taken a liking to the perky hyperactive blonde.

The rest of the summer passed quickly with the only notable event being the escape of Pettigrew from Azkaban. His parents had been incredibly worried and had warned all four of them to be careful at Hogwarts as he may be trying to take revenge on them as revenge for James and Sirius sending him to Azkaban, though the Ministry thought that he was targeting Neville. Sirius and James took him aside and told him to always keep an eye on Hyacinth, Nebula and Artemis to which Harry replied saying, " of course I will look after them, you don't have to worry about them. "

They went shopping for Hogwarts supplies a month before Hogwarts starts and had got all the supplies including wands for all three of his sisters. Harry taught them all some basic spells to defend themselves like the disarming and Stunning spells which they had learnt to a degree.

Hyacinth's wand was made of Cherry and Unicorn hair.

Nebula's wand was made of Mahagony and Dragon heartsting

Artemis wand was made of Acacia and Phoenix feather.

Harry had learnt and mastered the Patronus charm after he heard his mother Amelia cursing the Ministers for his idiotic idea of placing Dementors around Hogwarts, despite her protests and offer to place a few of her aurors as security at Hogwarts instead of the Dementors and Fudge was supported by Lucius Malfoy.

Lily was happy teach him how to cast the Patronus charm, and he used the memory of hugging both his mothers to fuel his Patronus.
