The Duel

Harry entered the Slytherin common room with Jet on his shoulders, Harry had a bright smile as he made his way over to the first years and sat with them.

"Hey guys," Harry said as he sat down. "how is everything going?" He asked.

"Harry, how did it go?" Tracy asked quickly.

"Have you got a new family?" Daphne asked, just as quickly.

"Did my father become your guardian?" Draco asked.

"It went great, yes I have and no he hasn't." Harry replied. "When I got there there was a lot of people applying but eventually I found a family that just sort of...clicked...you know? Like I just new that they were the ones I wanted. They're called the Tonk's family."

"Never heard of them." Draco frowned.

"The husband is a muggleborn lawyer," Harry began, only to be interrupted.

"You're living with a muggleborn?" Pansy sneered.

"Oh for goodness sakes, shut up Parkinson." Daphne said in an irritated voice, narrowly beating out Harry. "Harry is the son of a muggleborn, arguably the most famous muggleborn of all time, now keep your trap shut before he gets one of the many snakes here to do it or I hex you."

"Good pet, you tell that bitch." Jet said in an approving voice.

"He complimented you." Harry told Daphne before he continued talking. "Anyway, the husband is a muggleborn and he's actually quite nice. The wife on the other hand is a pureblooded potions mistress, they're also related to me."

"They are?" Tracy asked.

"My grandmother was apparently her aunt." Harry explained.

"Your grandmother?" Blaise asked.

"Dorea Potter, formerly Dorea Black." Harry replied.

"Your grandmother used to be a Black?" Theo spoke with disbelief. "I didn't know that."

"Neither did I," Harry shrugged. "but I am hoping to learn more about her and my grandfather. I...what's happening?" Harry asked when he noticed Angela talking to other Slytherin's in-between glaring at a pair of black haired, third year boys.

"Those jerks challenged Angela to a duel," Blaise growled as he gestured to the third years. "they're brothers. Leopold and William Brighter. They got into an argument with Angela and told her that if she wanted to settle it in a duel then she'd have to either fight both of them or get one other person to help her, and right now nobody's really willing to help her out. The two brothers are pretty tough when they fight together."

"What's wrong?" Leopold spoke to Angela in a mocking voice. "Can't find anyone who wants to help you?"

"You two are just cowards who won't fight me one on one!" Angela scowled at them.

"All I'm hearing is you can't find anyone." William replied with a smirk.

"I'll do it." Everyone in the room turned to Harry who stood up from his seat and handed Jet to Daphne before rolling his shoulders. "If Angela accepts." Harry added with a questioning look towards Angela.

"Harry, are you mad?!" Tracy hissed.

"No more so than usual."

"You can't do it, you're a first year." William reminded him.

"In which case this will be easy for you, won't it?" Harry replied.

"Hold on, that's not fair, you'll just get all of these snakes to attack us." Leopold protested as he gestured to the metal snakes around the common room.

"I won't, unless you cheat, in which case it will be anything goes." Harry replied before turning to Angela. "Well?" He asked, she looked at him for several seconds before smiling and nodding to him. "Excellent." Harry said as he walked over and stepped next to her, his wand shot out of his holster and into his hand.

"You're so desperate that you'll accept help from a first year?" William sneered at Angela.

"Last time me and this first year fought together we ended up killing a troll," Angela reminded him. "and he's only gotten better since. Now hurry up and start the duel." She said as she aimed her wand at the two brothers.

The duel started after a count down from the fifth year male prefect, the two brothers quickly fired at Angela and Harry. Angela blocked with a magical shield while Harry dodged the spell that was coming towards him, Angela shot a body bind spell towards William. Harry shot an expelliarmus at Leopold who blocked it but didn't block the pepper breath spell that hit him afterwards, causing his breath to become fiery hot.

"Nice one." Angela grinned before she continued firing.

"Mum," Tonks said as she walked into the kitchen where her mother was making some lunch for her father who was reading the daily prophet. "there is someone here to see you." She said in a quiet voice.

"Who?" Andromeda frowned as she looked away from her cooking while Ted put his newspaper down.

"That would be me." A voice answered just a second person walked into the kitchen. He was about six foot tall, he had grey, combed hair and a small tidy, grey beard along a few wrinkles on his face. He looked like he was in his late sixties, and his expression was that of a person who was trying to act like they hadn't noticed something that smelt bad.

"W...what are you doing here?" Andromeda gasped just as Ted stood up and pulled his wand out.

"I've heard that you're adopting the Potter boy, that's good, I have come here today to talk to you about the future of our family." Arcturus Black answered. "Now, can I have a bloody cup of tea or what?"
