Chapter 24: Dance Practice

(Chamber of secrets)

Sitting inside the room of Salazar Slytherin inside the statue head he pondered on who was he going to take to the Yule Ball and he needs serious Dance practicing since he's bad at it. He wondered should he take Fleur to the Yule Ball? Ginny? Hermione? Luna?. Maybe he could ask Hermione to help him dance practice... that seemed not like a bad idea since she could dance.

He has three weeks to get the hang of dancing and get himself a date.

He has a whole lot to do, plus keeping watch on his transformation which nothing new happened yet. Thankfully the 2nd task wasn't until February so he still has time to check on his golden egg.

"Who do you guys think I should ask to the Yule Ball?" He Asked mentally in his thoughts towards his tenants.

"Well Harry, We have no idea on who you should take to the Yule Ball, that is for you to decide and for your heart to determine." Answered Blaze

" I agree, this is on you now. Take one of your wives to the Yule Ball" Added Toxine

Frowning it seems he was on his own on this. He didn't know who he could obviously take to the Yule Ball.

On one hand he wanted to take Fleur, then maybe take Hermione? Or even Ginny? He could save them a dance.

Sighing it seems like he was going to have to find out himself and see who can help him be his dance partner, deciding to leave the chamber of secrets maybe he could ask Hermione to be his dance partner.

(Gryffindor common room)

Hermione was on her way down getting ready for breakfast and class heading down the stairs she was unprepared for the sight before her.

She saw Ron Weasley he was back, he turned his glance at her giving her a sneer.

She saw that his face still has scars from Harry's claws now making not look so good now because Harry scarred him.

She decided to not meet his gaze and ignore him she has to warn Harry soon that Ron is back hopefully he won't cause trouble. He has to accept that she's sticking by Harry's side and not his he has to learn and accept that, if he knew that she's married to Harry, Ron Of course would lash out. Like she said before she would remain at Harry's side even if it meant throwing away her friendship with Ron she was not going to let Ron make any attempts on Harry to get back at him she would Hex him before he'd try anything.

She left the common room ignoring his angry gaze at her.

(Ron's POV)

He watched her like a hawk as she left the common room.

Clenching his fists with his ears glowing red in anger, ever since he has returned nobody bothered to say anything to him not even Seamus and Dean. He knows Neville refuses to talk to him, his twin brothers are keeping a steel eye on him and his brothers warned him that if he tried anything to start trouble with Harry they would send letters to their Mum and he did not want to face her wrath again. Then there's Ginny he knew his sister was still angry at him and wants to hex him with her Bat Boogey Hex to teach him a lesson for messing with Harry.

None of the Gryffindor girls wants to look at him because of his scars on his face, it wasn't fair does that mean he won't be able to get a date to the Yule Ball.

He will get Hermione to go with him to the Yule Ball if it's the last thing he'd do he just needs a plan to get her attention and maybe pretend to be nice to her.

But he has to look out knowing Harry is a Basilisk/Phoenix hybrid fearing that Harry might give him the deadly stare which could kill him, he wondered could he use a Rooster? Maybe a rooster would affect his former best friend.

He will get his vengeance upon his former best friend.

(With Harry)

Now entering the great hall looking for His wives. Turning to the Ravenclaw table he saw Fleur with her fellow students he decided to walk over there and meet with his first wife he noticed half the great hall was reading the daily prophet as they gave Harry a quick look making him look confuse they turned away Seeing him look at them.

"Good morning Arry!" Said Fleur smiling at him as the Beauxbatons students stare at him.

"Mind if I sit with you?" He Asked Seeing the Beauxbatons students stare at him as they scoot over letting him sit by Fleur he noticed a daily prophet newspaper beside fleur raising a eyebrow he asked.

"What's going on in the prophet?" He Asked Seeing Fleur's smile drop a bit.

"You're not going to like it Arry." Fleur Answered Making him frown.

"Well let me see what's so bad in the prophet it's not like it's going to piss me off" He Said grabbing her paper opening it as his eyes narrowed a bit at the headline.

The Boy who is a Playboy

Dear readers of the daily prophet, this is your Writer Rita Skeeter and I have some very good news to share with you, it seems that our 4th champion of Hogwarts has himself quite the harem. Harry Potter is always seen with a group of girls of his choice and these girls were Hermione Granger the muggleborn, Ginevra Weasley, Loony Lovegood and the foreign French quarter Veela Delacour.. Should we be concerned that Mr. Potter is being a playboy now? Should the parents of these girls he's involved with be concerned as well? Let's talk about the Beauxbatons Champion Fleur Delacour as you know Ms. Delacour is a Half Veela could she possibly bewitched Mr. Potter into becoming a playboy and have a harem at his beck and call and having herself included in his little harem.

Only time will tell, from your fabulous Writer, Rita Skeeter.

After reading the Daily Prophet Harry Scowled and wished he could burn this paper he's reading, Fleur seemed to notice this and put her hand on his shoulder in comfort.

"Arry, don't let her ruin your mood this is what she wants" Fleur Said preventing him from being angry.

"I'm sure she wants to get me pissed, your right I'm not going to let her ruin my mood today" He Said now calming down as he noticed a look from Roger Davis at the far corner of the Ravenclaw table he saw the Ravenclaw quidditch Captain glare at him seeing him close to Fleur.

Fleur followed his look and frowned seeing Roger glare at her husband. The boy just won't leave her alone he's been attempting to be closer to her and she did not want to be with him at the Yule Ball he would not stop staring at her and drool like a moron.

"Arry, lets ignore him" She whispered to him as he nodded and decided just to do that.

"So Fleur how your doing?" He Asked his wife

"I'm doing fine Arry how are you?" She Replied

"Doing great a lot has been on my mind lately about this Yule Ball" Said Harry in a even tone with a sigh.

"What's the matter?" She Asked

"The Yule Ball you know I have to learn how to dance, yet I'm a terrible dancer" He Said the last part in a low whisper so no one wouldn't hear him.

"I could help teach you how to dance, but Arry who are you taking to the Yule Ball?" She Asked Seeing him freeze at her question.

"I don't know actually" he admitted

"Was thinking of taking you, but I don't want to leave out Hermione and Ginny, even Luna." He whispered seeing her stroke her chin in wonder.

"We'll think Of something Arry, I would love for you to take me to the Yule Ball but we must speak with Hermione, Ginny and Luna... they still have chances to dance with you." Suggested Fleur as he nodded in understanding

"Yeah... we could talk about it in the chamber" He whispered when his eyes caught Hermione coming in the great hall and she saw him and was heading right towards him.

"Morning Mione, what's up?" Harry Said Seeing her have a serious expression

"Harry, Ron is back" She Spoke Seeing Fleur widen her eyes as a scowl appeared on her face, Harry however steamed a bit and was surpressing a hiss from coming out of his mouth. He had not forgotten what Ron did and he did not want to forgive the jealous git, but Harry wasn't worried he knows the Twins and Ginny will keep a eye on Ron and to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid and he did not want to kill his former best friend or even pretrifiying him... sometimes Harry wished Ron would just stop being jealous and come to his damn senses but he knew Ron better than anyone the git just doesn't want drop his pathetic jealousy and pride.

"Let's not worry about him mione, the twins are keeping him in check they told me themselves they would keep Ron on a tighter leash." Harry Said with not a hint of worry in his voice.

"Alright, so what's happening?" She Asked.

"After breakfast and class, find Ginny and Luna, tell them to come down to the chamber of secrets in the afternoon" Harry whispered as the bushy haired girl nodded and took a seat on his left flank while Fleur was on his right eating breakfast.

On the Slytherin Table Daphne greengrass was watching Harry Potter, after reading the daily prophet as she eyed him Seeing Delacour And Granger both sitting next to him. Frowning she wished she was by his side as her friend Tracy Davis noticed Daphne staring at Harry.

"Daphne are you looking at Harry Potter?" Asked her friend as Daphne put up her ice visage.

"Just observing him, to see were the rumors were true in the daily prophet" She Said coolly as she turned towards Malfoy and could see the Blonde haired fool was ready to taunt Potter as she rolled her eyes in annoyance that Draco would be stupid enough to cause a fight with Potter.

On the Hufflepuff table Susan Bones herself was staring at Harry Potter with a light blush. She didn't care what Rita Skeeter wrote in the daily prophet who would obviously believe what that woman writes? Her Aunt told her about how dirty Rita Skeeter can be when writing ridiculous things in the daily prophet just to embarrass or attack someone and the bint was targeting Harry Potter.

(Afternoon Chamber of secrets)

Harry had led Fleur, Hermione, Ginny and Luna to the chamber of secrets made sure no one followed them.

"What's this about Harry" Asked Luna in her ever so dreamy voice standing next to Ginny.

"I've come to tell all of you that you know the Yule Ball is coming, and I've decided to let you all know that I'm taking Fleur to the Yule Ball however I will dance with all of you there at the Ball is that okay with either of you?" He Asked eying each of them.

"I'm fine with it Harry, do save me a dance" Said Hermione She was okay with it as long as he danced with her after Fleur then maybe she'll pass him onto Ginny or Luna.

"I'm fine with it Harry, I'd love to dance with you, maybe the nargles wouldn't come near me if I dance with you" Luna agreed as all eyes turned to Ginny.

"I don't mind at all, you better be a good dancer husband" she teased at the last part making him blush

"That's another thing... I need help in dancing... I don't know how to dance.." He Said looking away Making his wives giggle

"Oh don't you worry Harry, we could help you learn how to dance" Offered Hermione Seeing the rest of the girls agree.

"We could practice dancing in the transfiguration classroom where Professor Mcgonagall had us do the first dance lesson" Suggested Ginny.

"Alright then. When do we do this?" He Asked

"Starting tomorrow, we start practice in the afternoon how does that sound?" Asked Hermione with the girls now nodding

"Perfect then tomorrow afternoon we practice at the transfiguration classroom" Hermione finished with Harry now agreeing

Tomorrow was his first dance practice he hopes he could accomplish this in the Ball.

After the Yule Ball was over he has to study the clue for the golden egg. Then he'd have to train his newfound powers and abilities since he's the Heir of the Mayan God kukulan Quetzalcoatl, then he needs to set a new meeting with the magical creatures of the dark forest and successfully unify them. His transformation is still in progress he just has to make sure his wives look out for their transformations cause if it's revealed too soon then he'd have no choice but to reveal himself and protect his wives from the ministry.

He has a lot on his plate lots of obstacles he'd have to face once his inheritance and what he is will be revealed

Ron Weasley

Malfoy

This bloody tournament

The school

Fudge and his lot in the ministry

And of course Voldemort.

He must face all of those obstacles but he knows he isn't alone, his magical creature allies and his wives along with the support of Dumbledore and his friends.

He could get pass all of them because he's Harry James Potter, The Basilisk King.
