CONSEQUENCE The boy who survived

Chapter 30 - Afterwards

"Hey!" Ron said in defence of Hermione

"What?" Harry glared at him "This isn't British TV so I don't get why she can question me with about fifty questions at the same time"

"What's TV?"

"Ask your father" Harry sighed

"So, the meeting went well then?" Daphne asked

"You should know, you heard all of it" Harry leaned back against the wall

"How did you know we heard all of it?" Astoria asked

"Would you believe me if I told you all that little dust fairies told me?"

"What? Really?" Ron asked as the rest of them shook their heads apart from Hermione who had to ask a question.

"Do they actually exist?" She asked, excited at the idea of learning about new creatures

"Congratulations" Harry said dryly "you have two idiots in the room, that's higher than most rooms" He turned to the twins "show me the ears"

"Fine" Fred handed him a pair of extendable ears

"Don't know how you know" George said

"But as long as you don't cause trouble for us"

"Me? Cause trouble? Never" Harry said with an amused smile as he began examining the ear "it's not bad, did you make it yourselves?"

"Yep" The twins nodded proudly

"Hmm, is it water proof?" Harry asked

"Waterproof?" They blinked

"Yeah, you know how your ears can get water in them and it's hard to hear? I imagine it's the same for the ears"

"We didn't think of that" Fred said to George

"I know" George sighed

"It's still brilliant work" Harry complimented them and their faces lit up again "I'm rather impressed"

"You've impressed Harry" Adrian said to the twins dramatically before bowing down "We're not worthy" he chanted

"Damn right" The twins straightened up and puffed their chesses out

"Oh Merlin" Daphne shook her head with amusement

"The ice queen too?" Adrian blinked "You too really are good"

"Are you calling your future sister-in-law an ice queen?" Daphne asked sweetly as she pulled Harry's wand out. Adrian paled slightly, Harry's wand didn't have the trace and he remembered what happened the last time he pissed Daphne off.

"No! Definitely not!" He put his hands up

"Ha" Harry laughed and gently took his wand back from Daphne "well done, you've got him completely under your control"

"Well, compared to you he's relatively tame" Daphne wiped some imaginary dust off her shoulders

"I'm not arguing with that" Adrian shook his head as if to say 'no he wasn't'
