Chapter 60
The next morning, Harry woke up and go to the classes as if nothing happens. The girls also don't ask him anything about yesterday and chat with him normally. They are waiting for classes to be over and go to the Room of Requirements.
Room of Requirements is the safest place they can get in the castle except for the Chambers of Secrets, they don't want anyone to hear about yesterday as it is secret, and if it is leaked to the wrong people then it is going to be bad for their plan. The room is warded with magic which makes it impossible to chant the room with a listening charm so they don't have to worry about others listening.
When they finally enter the Room of Requirements all of them look at him with looks that are telling him that he has to explain yesterday's adventure. In the Room, there are Neville, Hannah, Susan, Tracey, Daphne, Hermione, Luna, Astoria, and shockingly Nymphadora.
In this period, Astoria and Luna become best friends. They both hang around with each other more than others despite they are in different years and Houses.
"I will explain about yesterday, so you don't have to look at me like that."
Harry tells them and looks towards Nymphadora.
"Before I start explaining. How are you here Nymph?"
"I am not allowed here?"
Nymph says with a pout on her face.
"No, you are welcome to come here anytime."
"I know, I am just teasing you."
"You.."
"As for how I am here, it is because Boss send me here to investigate something."
"What do you want to investigate?"
But Susan replied before Nymph.
"Aunt get news about you taking over the Hogwarts. The former board of directors complains about this to the ministry. The ministry wants to take action about this themselves but as the Auror department falls under her, she tells them that she is going to handle this matter which they want to criticize but are unable to do. So that's why Nymph's here."
"Ohk"
Harry nod.
"So now tell us about your yesterday adventure."
Harry then started to tell them about all the things that happen, from getting the resurrection stone to Voldemort being Lord of Gaunt to him claiming the house.
"Voldemort is the Lord of Gaunt?"
"Yes, I am also shocked like you Neville when Griphook told me."
"But congratulation Harry for getting one more heirship."
"Thank you, Hannah."
Nymph then speaks after looking at his face which looks like there is more.
"There is more to the story?"
"You are right, there is a marriage contract, between House Gaunt and House Carrow."
"House Carrow? Weren't they death eaters?"
"Yes, the Carrow family is the supporter of Voldemort and they also take his mark."
"Harry, can you tell me who the other person in the contract is?"
Daphne asked Harry and through which Harry handed the contract he has with him to her. She took the contract and started to look at the details of the contract with the others.
"It is more of a slave contract than a marriage contract. How can someone treat their daughter as an object."
"It is like this in pureblood family, Hermione."
"But Harry you surely not going to take them as your slave right?"
"I don't want to. I asked Griphook about it and he says that I can change the contract only once and it is only limited to the content and not the actual names."
"Harry, you don't have to worry about anything. You are not going to marry a death eater."
When Daphne said that everyone looked toward her.
"In this contract, it is written that you have to marry the daughter of the Carrow family, which means it applies to the twins. Flora and Hestia Carrow are both sorted into Slytherin and are in the same year as Astoria."
"Both of them are good girls. They are not supporters of pure-blood supremacy as they don't associate themselves with Pansy and her group."
Astoria continues after Daphne to give him more knowledge about the girls.
"Harry I think you should first know more about them before making any decision. We also are going to help you by finding them from inside the house."
Harry nodded to Tracey's comment and decided to talk with them before making any decision.
