The Real Harry Potter

Harry arrived in the great hall, he sat as his spot at the Gryffindor table, Katie Bell sat opposite him, unfortunately Angelina and Alicia were no longer in school a they had already completed their final year at the end of Harry's fifth year. The last time Harry had seen those two was at the afterschool party that he had been invited to along with Katie and a few other friends of Angelina and Alicia's, the Weasley twins were also invited, which lead Harry to believe that Angelina and Alicia had forgiven the Weasley twins or were at least trying or starting to do so.

Speaking of the twins, they weren't here either, the last Harry had heard they were still at their mother's house, trying to save up enough money to buy a shop and place to live.

"By the way Harry," Katie said mid-way though their conversation. "I wasn't made team captain, and right now there's only one other member of the team, so..." She trailed off and waited for him to respond.

"Oh I'm sorry," Harry said as he took out his captain badge and brushed it before holding it proudly. "were you talking to Captain Potter?" Harry grinned. While he was surprised that he had gotten the position, he wasn't surprised for long. It made sense, Katie was a great player but Harry was the youngest seeker in a centaury and it was considered an incredibly rare event for him to not get the snitch. That plus his fame meant he was far more likely to become captain, plus the fact the Dumbledore was trying to keep him happy may or may not have affected the choice, Harry wasn't sure about that last part, it was entirely possible that Dumbledore had nothing to do with the selection, but Harry really couldn't be sure.

"Congrats!" Katie cheered for him.

"Thank you." Harry said as he put the badge back. "How was your summer?" Harry asked.

"Boring," She shrugged. "how was your summer?" Katie asked.

"Mine was fine," Harry shrugged. "just hanged out, did my homework and so on."

"Well after what happened at the ministry, me and everyone else were expecting to see you fighting off manticores or something in the daily prophet."

"No manticores this time." Harry chuckled. "Only real highlight of my summer was my birthday."

"What happened?" Katie asked with a smile.

"Well Sirius had taken me to the muggle world," Harry grinned. "we went bowling, even went to a cinema, then we had food from a fast food restaurant."

"That sounds lovely." Katie replied.

"Oh it was, but the best came around the end of the day." Harry's grin got bigger. "Fleur and Tonks decided they wanted to give me a present at the same time if you catch my drift."

"At the same..." Katie trailed off as she realized what he meant. "Harry!" She laughed. "That's amazing, oh I couldn't have imagine that a few years ago."

"I did imagine something like that a few years ago, and I mean a lot of imagining." Harry replied.

"Shut it." Katie smirked. "But still, that's great...so when's the wedding?" She asked in a jokey tone.

"I plan to propose after Hogwarts." Harry answered in an absolutely serious tone. "Or propose in my seventh year and get married after."

"Wait a sec, which one are you marrying?" Katie frowned.

"I'd like to marry both." Harry said in an honest voice.

"Wait, can you even do that?"

"Yes actually," Harry nodded. "Sirius can't really have any heirs and he doesn't want Draco and the Malfoy's to get the Black family title so it goes to me, if I marry both of them then I can have one as Lady Potter and the other as Lady Black."

"Wow." Katie muttered as she shook her head.

"I know right," Harry said, understanding what she was thinking. "by the way, which do you think I should make Lady Black?"

"Does it matter?" Katie asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yes," Harry replied. "think of it this way, if I make Tonks Lady Black then the Black family ancestors will turn over in their graves at the idea of a half-blood, daughter of a muggleborn and cast out Black family member. But on the other hand if I make Fleur Lady Black then the Black family ancestors will turn over in their graves at the idea of a 'half-breed' Veela being Lady Black, and if that's not enough then the fact that she's French will probably do it." Harry and Katie laughed at that.

"Oh by the way, did you know about Professor Slughorn?" Katie asked.

"Yeah, I know a bit about him." Harry said, during the summer Dumbledore had tried to convince Harry to help him bring Slughorn to Hogwarts, though of course he didn't tell Harry that at first which meant Harry got Sirius and told him that Dumbledore was trying to take him somewhere without telling him where or why. An angry Sirius eventually got Dumbledore to admit that he wanted to use Harry to try and convince Horace Slughorn to teach at Hogwarts. Dumbledore had wanted to use Harry because Slughorn was apparently in the habit of 'collecting' famous people, essentially being connected to a lot of well placed people in various positions of power, the second reason was because Slughorn had taught Harry's mother and Dumbledore was hoping to use that connection to bring him back.

Sirius had refused, saying that his godson was not a tool for Dumbledore to use and said that if he needed Slughorn so bad then he would try to find another way to Slughorn in. And apparently he was able to as Slughorn was now at Hogwarts.

"He invited me to some sort of party on the train." Harry added. "I was sitting with Daphne and Tracy when some third year comes in and tells me Slughorn wanted to speak to me."

"What happened?" Katie asked, looking very interested.

"Well I go up there and he basically greets me like I am his favorite nephew, then he starts introducing me to everyone else he had invited, then just a bunch of awkward conversations." Harry shrugged. "Anyway, who do you think is the new defense teacher? I'd like to know who is planning to kill and/or torture me this year." Harry said as he looked towards the teachers table, he couldn't see any new teachers apart from Slughorn.

"I don't see any new teachers apart from Slughorn," Katie said, unintentionally echoing Harry's inner thoughts. "maybe he or she is just making a late entrance."

"Maybe," Harry hummed. "hold on," Harry said suddenly. "Slughorn teaches potions, which means...oh fuck." Harry sighed.
