Chapter 70

On the train, all of them sit in the same compartment after Hermione enlarges it so all of them can fit easily.

It is quite a relaxing ride until Draco Malfoy decides to interrupt them.

He entered their compartment with his usual bodyguard Crabbe and Goyle and started speaking.

"Potter, I am... What are you all doing here?"

Draco says after he saw Daphne, Astoria, Flora, and Hestia sitting there in the compartment.

"As you can see we are sitting here."

Daphne replied.

"Greengrass how can you associate yourself with Gryffindor."

"Draco I can associate with anyone I want to. It has nothing to do with you, so I suggest you exit the compartment."

Draco's face becomes red from anger when Daphne replies to him. He wanted to go out his anger on her but it is not a good place to do so as Greengrass is quite an influential family in the Wizengamot and if something happens his father might not be able to save him. He decided that he was going to teach her a lesson when they were back at the Hogwarts.

"Both of you take your betrothed from here as I don't want them to taint their name by associating themselves with mud-bloods and half-bloods."

Draco said to Crabbe and Goyle while pointing at Flora and Hestia who were sitting there.

"I don't think you have permission to do so."

Harry interrupted both of them before they could touch the sister.

"I don't want the permission to take my betrothed with me."

Crabbe replied while Goyle nodded his head agreeing with what he was saying.

"I am not going to stop you from taking your betrothed with you but they are not."

"What are you saying, Potter? Both of them are promised to Crabbe and Goyle's family by their father."

Draco was the one who replied to him before Crabbe or Goyle could say anything.

"You should ask Mr. Carrow about this as I am sure he is going to tell you all the things."

"You"

"Shut up Malfoy. We are not interested in listening to what you are going to say so please get out of this compartment."

Harry kicked Malfoy and both his bodyguards out of the compartment.

"My father will hear about this."

After that, they have a very peaceful ride as no one comes to disturb them and they spend the time talking with each other.

Sirius and Nymphadora are waiting to pick up Harry and the others. Amelia Bones is also present there who is talking with Sirius and Nymphadora is talking with Mrs. Greengrass, Mrs. Granger, and Mrs. Davis.

All of them went toward their respective guardian when they disembarked the train. Harry went towards Sirius with Flora and Hestia with him.

"Hello, Sirius."

"Hello, Harry. Can you introduce me to these lovely ladies with you?"

Sirius replied.

"Meet Hestia Carrow and her twin sister Flora Carrow." He then turns toward the girls and introduces Sirius "And this is my godfather Sirius Black."

"Nice to meet you, Lord Black."

Both of them said in sync.

"Nice to meet you too, and you can call me Sirius."

"Is everything ready as I asked you to do?"

Harry asked Sirius as he asked him to prepare the room for the twins. He has already told Sirius and Aunt Andi about his decision to take Flora and Hestia as his wife, which they agreed with as he made the right choice.

"Yes, I prepared everything as you asked."

"Hello, Flora, Hestia, and Harry."

Nymphadora comes towards them after greeting others as she is standing with their guardian who is there to pick them up.

"Hello, Tonks."

Twins replied.

"Hello, Nymph. I thought you were not going to greet me."

"I am just meeting with my sisters first as we are not able to see each other for some time."

"I invited all of them for Christmas but I am not sure if they are going to come or not. But we are going to have Flora and Hestia with us to celebrate Christmas with us."

After that, they said goodbye to others and went to the Potter Manor.

____________________________

They are greeted by Andromeda and Ted when they enter Potter Manor. He is very happy to see them and able to spend some more time with them.

Harry already forced them to live in the Potter Manor as they are probably not safe in their old house because they become the prime target of death eaters after they become his guardian and proxy in Wizengamot.

Harry introduced the twins to them and they welcomed both the girls with open arms to their family. Both the girls are surprised at first by the new environment they are currently but they are started to open up after some time.

After a couple of hours of chit-chat, it is time for dinner so Andromeda tells them to go to the dining room so that they can eat dinner.

She prepares everything Harry likes. She also wants to make the dish for the twins but doesn't know what they like.

After the dinner is finished Nymphadora takes Flora and Hestia with her and goes to her room.

After they are gone Ted also leaves the room as he has some work to do but he promises that he is going to spend some time with him tomorrow.

Harry spends some time with Ted as he is the one who teaches him about the business. He is the one who handles all of his business. Harry became very interested in the business after learning it from him.

"Harry we have to talk about something."

Andromeda speaks up after her husband Ted leaves the room which only leaves him, Andromeda, and Sirius in the room.

"It is the same topic you said you wanted to talk about when you sent me the letter."

"Yes, it is about that. We found some things when we were cleaning the Black family house,12 Grimmauld Place."

She replies to him with a serious expression and after seeing her expression he knows that the news is not good.

"What do you find."

Harry asked in a concerned voice as don't know what to expect.

"Here look at this."

She slides a locket and some parchments towards him.

He picked the locket in his hand so he could see it better. After picking it up, he noticed the S on it which looks like a snake. He feels strange when he is holding the locket like his emotions are bursting but before it can happen he places the locket back on the table and looks toward both of the people sitting across from him with a confused face.

"It is the cursed locket which we found. This locket is with the Kreacher, a Black family house-elf who gets this from our brother Regulus who is one of the death eaters."

Sirius explains and Andromeda continues after him.

"Kreacher told us that Regulus ordered him to destroy the locket but he is unable to do it. As it is with Regulus who is a death eater and cursed which means that it is somewhat related to Voldemort. We learned in some of the parchment that Regulus betrays Voldemort which also gives us the clue that it is somewhat related to Voldemort."

Harry nodded after listening to the explanation.

"So what do we do with this?"

"I think we should take it to the Goblins as they have better resources and knowledge to tell us more about it, we are just waiting to consult with you before we make any decision."
