Ask Harry Potter

They couldn’t have chosen a better location for a picnic. Out by the lake they had found a wonderful little nook of trees where they were secluded from any wayward travelers. Harry had offered to cook, but Samara had taken it upon herself to prepare them a lovely lunch. It was so rare that the two got time alone; they sure weren’t going to find it at the Sanctuary, and every time they got cuddled up at their apartments, someone came and interrupted.

Well, good luck interrupting them now.

With such privacy for the first time, they took full advantage. Not just of the space, but of each other. In the wake they lay there, the sun just hitting the brim of the mountain range and casting the sky in a beautiful purple. Harry had never been happier, more content… more in love. Samara had become everything to him since they had started their relationship. She listened to him, helped him figure problems out, didn’t let him get away with too much bullshit… and in return he tried to treat her like the myth that she was.

Preciously. Passionately. Kindly.

Harry sat against the tree, Samara tucked between his legs and laying into his chest. The moment couldn’t be much more perfect.

Not until she looked up at him with that beautiful smile and said, “I love you, Harry.”

Harry’s smile exploded across his face, and his heart couldn’t be more full in that exact moment.

“I love you, too.”

“Stay away from my daughters, Potter. If I catch you even looking at them, I’ll rip your throat out.” That was no idle threat when delivered by Overcast, someone who repeatedly thought Volvo beatings were the equivalent to ruler-slapping. Honestly, Harry should of thought about the people that hold themselves as guardians of the two girls he had been secretly shagging for weeks now.

It was only a matter of time til they were caught. Of course, Harry didn’t think he’d get caught with both girls at once in the back of some car they had stolen. Grand theft auto really got Jana hot, after all. However, they hadn’t expected Overcast to be walking by… and that vampire probably hadn’t expected to see Livewires face pressed up against the window of the back window.

So the three of them were standing there, getting the living hell tore out of them by Overcast. Harry was lucky he wasn’t already dead, it might be because both of the girls were still there. However, Harry never was good at keeping his mouth shut.

“That isn’t going to be happening. Jana and I have a date tonight.” He grinned over at the cyborg lass, her own gaze locking back on his… begging for a second go.

The effect was immediate. Overcast was on top of Harry in an instant, her hand around his throat and slamming him into the building wall behind him. His feet weren’t even within a foot of the ground by the time she began choking him. Damn she was strong. However, Harry wasn’t defensless.

Immediately both Jana and Livewire were on top of Overcast, their combined strength overpowering her as they pulled her away. Harry hit the ground, breathing harshly. He was lucky, she was about to crush his throat into a pretty gory mess.

Overcast struggled against the girls, but refused to use her full strength against her precious children. However, her children had changed… been changed by the handsome and manipulative wizard that stood up to his full height. “Mom! Leave Harry alone! We love him!” The vampire looked at the two of them, their eyes full of anger and intensity. “NO! Him? He’s a cocky little piece of trash. He’s no good for either of you.” With a shove she pushed both girls off of her, her eyes landing on Harry, “YOU! I’m going make you wish you were never born.”

She was fast, however Harry had been expecting it now. His hand was up and pressed against her chest as her hands were just a fraction of an inch from his throat. Instantly her body seized up as an intangible force spread through his touch and into her body. She fell to the ground, paralyzed and seething.

“Overcast… can’t you see this just isn’t going to work?” There was that cocky arrogant smirk. Harry hunched down, his head hovering over hers. “We love each other.” Oh, she could just see by the laughter in his eyes he didn’t love those girls. No… he was playing the longer game. Overcast could fill her body struggle against his magic, but it was impossible to break free.

Then Jana and Livewires faces came into view, “Yeah, mom,” Jana chimed in, “we love him. If you won’t let us be with Harry, we’re leaving.” Livewire nodded along, reaching over and taking Harry’s hand. “Please mommy.”

Harry grinned wickedly, reaching down and running a finger along Overcasts lips. The feeling sent shivers down her spine, her entire person repulsed by him. However, she found movement was restored to her in that remote location. “No! I forbid it. Can’t you see he’s just using you?”

Oh, but the damage of Harry’s machinations had been completed. The girls were trapped, and Overcast knew it. Her heart was breaking… her girls had chosen him over her. It was so obvious, so gut wrenching. “Girls… please. I’m your mother. I love you, listen to me.”

The wizard stood up, looking down at Overcast with that same mocking gaze. Lording his victory over her. The girls followed, standing by his side. Livewire spoke first, “No, you aren’t. Harry will take care of us.” She hugged his side, and Jana mimicked her, “He’ll take better care of us then you. He loves us more then you ever could.”

With that they began walking away; leaving Overcast laying there.

Shamed. Defeated. Crying.

Broken.

Friendship. It’s all Harry had ever wanted when it came to the handsome man sitting next to him. However, that wasn’t what was meant for the two unsung heroes. No, they could never be friends.

They were destined for so much more.

“This has been an amazing day, Leo.” Harry’s voice was happy, filled with delight. Leo had been such a gentlemen, treating Harry to a day out at the amusement park. Harry had a super huge teddy bear tucked into his robes that Leo had won for him at some shooting game. The wizard had marveled at Leo’s accuracy… but it wasn’t just bullseyes that Leo had hit so consistently.

No, he had also hit Harry’s heart.

Now they sat together on a bench at the end of the pier, fireworks exploding as the night came to a close. Leo smiled over at Harry, not saying a thing as he moved over til they were pressed against each other. His arm came up, and scooped around Harry’s shoulders.

They just sat there… content and enthralled. Something was happening that neither could explain, but neither could deny.

Purple: Who was your last kiss?

No brainer on this one. Samara.

Green: Share a family story.

You need to understand, my family is rather… limited. I could speak about the Durselys, but that entire story would be filled with viciousness and petty maliciousness. Or I could talk about the family I choose. Bill, Kwan, and Hack.

How about Hack. The first time I met him.

I met him on the coast of Brazil. He was tossing rocks into the ocean, and sad. See, in Jungle Troll society, the further you can toss a stone, the more ladies you impress with your strength. Hack was small in troll society, so he couldn’t throw as far as the bigger trolls.

So, I suggested he throw smaller rocks.

Something about that simple answer, made Hack so happy that we instantly became best friends. I could of done without the graphic talk about what he was going to do with the lady trolls, but… you tolerate the oddest things for your family.
