Clash of Wills

A little while later Harry was leaving the arena with the Greengrass family, Daphne was holding his arm and smiling at him. Snuffles was at his side, Rose was holding his leash.

"You were amazing" Astoria had said

"Yes he was" Daphne said proudly and kissed him on the cheek

"Yes I was" Harry grinned proudly

"Why did you hold back so much?" Daphne whispered into his ear

"Wanted it to last longer" Harry whispered back

"Harry, you were hit earlier" Roxanne said with a concerned voice "and that redheaded boy did throw you up in the air"

"Plus there was that knee burn from when I slid to avoid getting my head cut off" Harry replied "the knee burn was healed quickly, the fall didn't do much damage because I rolled to reduce the damage. The punch didn't do much damage, guy punched like a wimp"

"Hmm, I would've thought that a Japanese boy would know a bit more about fighting" Cyrus said thoughtfully

"Hmm, nice to know that my future father-in-law is the slightest bit racist" Harry said

"Wait, hang on a minute" Cyrus objected "I just…I…okay I admit that was the slightest bit racist"

"Just the slightest bit" Harry agreed, Snuffles barked to show that he also agreed.

"Yes, it was" Roxanne slapped Cyrus across the head

"I didn't mean it" Cyrus defended himself

"Ah Harry" A voice called from behind, the entire group stopped and a collective sigh came from them all. They turned around to see the twinkling eye of Dumbledore as the old man came towards them.

"May I help you?" Harry sighed

"It's a pleasure to see you here" Dumbledore smiled, either unaware or purposefully ignoring everyone's reaction

"Pleasure? Sure, let's call it that" Harry replied "now what do you want?"

"I wanted to congratulate you" Dumbledore continued smiling "it was an excellent match"

"Thank you , now if you don't mind we'll be off because we have better things to do"

"Like what?"

"Oh I don't know" Harry said while pretending to be in thought "going back to England, eating, having a shower or bath and snogging my girlfriend"

"Harry!" An embarrassed Daphne exclaimed "My parents are here"

"I'm aware" Harry said dismissively

"Don't talk about stuff like that in front of them"

"Oh come on, it's not like they don't know we've been snogging"

"I'd of been surprised if you haven't been" Cyrus admitted

"Me too" Roxanne agreed

"Told you" Harry grinned at her before turning back to the old man "is that all sir?"

"I did want to have a discussion with you" Dumbledore admitted, he had taken a guess about Harry entering the tournament again. Fortunately his guess was right

"Clearly, you've followed me all the way to Japan" Harry said "if you were a ninety plus years younger and a woman then I might have been flattered but at the moment I am incredibly worried. It's not often I've been followed by old men, last time that happened was….never, come to think of it."

"Very funny" Dumbledore half chuckled

"I don't find it to be" Cyrus interrupted "I mean, the joke was funny but I don't find you following my future son-in-law to be funny"

"Ah yes" Dumbledore was admittedly not happy about Harry's relationship with Daphne Greengrass, it had dawned on him how the relationship could affect him.

In his plans he wanted Adrian to marry Ginny, but he had never thought about Harry marrying Daphne Greengrass. If Harry did so then he would be the heir to the Black, Peverell, Potter, Flight and Greengrass family. He'd practically control the entire government, this also meant that Adrian wouldn't ever inherit the Potter fortune as any children in-between them would inherit the seats and fortune, leaving them out of Dumbledore's control.

Even if James and Lily wake up from their coma then Harry would still have the Black, Flight and Greengrass seats. He at first wanted them to break up but then Harry would still be left with two seats and Dumbledore realised it was better to have Harry on his side.

"You see" Dumbledore continued "I was simply visiting the Japanese minister, when I heard of the event and decided to attend" Dumbledore fibbed "but now that I'm here I was wondering if I could have a quick word with Harry in private"

"Nah, I'm a bit too tired for you at the moment, goodbye"

"Harry, I assure you that I need to discuss a serious matter with you"

"I assure you I don't care" Harry turned and the group followed

"That man" Roxanne sighed once they were far enough away "I've never liked him"

"You're not the only one" Harry responded
