Harry Potter: Immortal Conquest

Harry and Tracey were sitting on the bed in Harry's room after having finished with the breakfast. Harry's room wasn't much. The walls were painted light green. The room had a single bed, a wooden desk and a chair. A small shelf contained some of his personal books along with his school books.

"So what do you want to explain to me that needed me to come to your room?" she asked. Harry sat in front of her with his legs crossed. His hands were folded in his lap.

"I wanted to explain the features of the necklace." he replied and scooted closer to her, now their knees touching each other. He leaned forward and gently grabbed the necklace from her chest and examined it. He smiled smugly at his accomplishment. Tracey was trying not to blush at the proximity between his face and her chest. He dropped the necklace and leaned back and grinned at her, totally ignoring her red face.

"The necklace is not just pretty jewellery. It is my way to safeguard you." he said. Tracey looked at the necklace in wonder, her fingers probed the emerald gem and then the black metal snake that enveloped the gem's boundary.

"What does it do?" she asked curiously.

"On its own? Nothing. But it can summon me. You just have to think about wanting me to be with you and I will be there." he replied and peered at her. He slid down from the bed and had his mischievous grin on his face.

"Wait for 10 minutes and then try to summon me. I am going out of the Slytherin common room. Remember, wait for ten minutes so I can cover some distance." he said and went out of his room without looking back at Tracey who was just gaping at him.

'Does he know that we can't use any means of instantaneous transport inside Hogwarts without the permission of the headmaster?' she thought worriedly. When she was sure that ten minutes had passed, she thought of Harry and tried to summon him. Suddenly she was on her back and Harry was sitting on her stomach and grinning like a loon.

"See? It worked."

"Why do you have to appear on top of me?" she said looking up at him. He chuckled and got off of her and sat in front of her.

"When you summon me, I will always appear very close to you because the necklace is sort of a beacon. The necklace plucks me from wherever I am and drops me near the wearer of the necklace. I think if you were standing then I would have appeared in front of you and not on top of you. Whatever, it doesn't matter. It transports me directly to you and that is all it was made to do. Also, the necklace can't be taken off from your neck by anybody except me and you yourself." he explained. She nodded and caressed the necklace, a small smile on her face.

"What about wards and anti-apparition charms or anti-portkey charms?" she asked.

"Don't worry. The necklace won't be affected by any type of magic." he dismissed her concern.

"The same necklace is sent to Daphne as her Christmas gift, so she has the same protection. This necklace will be vital for me to appear in Greengrass Manor without informing her parents of my arrival. Daphne is instructed to call me at night and from there we will follow our plan to destroy the betrothal contract and I will cure Astoria." he said thoughtfully. Tracey smiled and gave him a grateful hug.

"I am glad Daphne has the same necklace so we won't have to see her broken body ever again. Thank you Harry for trying to protect us." she sighed. Harry nodded his head on her shoulder.

Daphne was on her bed. Her blonde hair was left free behind her back. She was waiting patiently for her sister to arrive in her room. She was restless. Tonight would be the night that all of her worries would be put to rest. Tonight would be the night Harry will cure her sister's incurable disease. After a few minutes, a soft knock was heard.

"Enter." she said. Astoria scurried inside and closed the door. She sat opposite Daphne and looked at her curiously. Her own silky black hair flowing over her shoulder.

"So? What is it?" she asked. Daphne smiled at her younger sister. Tonight would be the night her sister would see a miracle.

"Do you want to get out of the betrothal contract?" she asked frankly. Astoria was surprised at the topic. A hot anger surged through her. She glared at Daphne.

"I had already told you to live your life properly and not waste it on me. But because of you, now we both are in a betrothal contract with Malfoy. Now you are asking me if I want it while you are the reason we are in this situation in the first place." she said venomously. Daphne was taken aback by her anger.

"Hey, I just wanted you to live a long and healthy life. I did what I did just so you won't have to worry about dying anytime soon." she replied morosely. Astoria sighed and reigned in her anger. She put her hand on her shoulder.

"I am sorry. I just never wanted to marry Draco. You have to understand Daphne that some things are worse than death, like being a plaything for a death eater's son. You know what a wife of a pureblood man means. To sit at home and just produce heirs while the man has all the control of your life and your children. Why would I ever want that? Why would I ever want my sister to join me in that prison? And for your stupid decision, we are both fated to be the prisoners of the Malfoy. Now, you are asking me if I want to escape it, of course I want to but the contract is already signed. Don't give me false hope."

Daphne was shrinking in herself at every word her sister was saying. She was feeling stupid as of not thinking about the future. Not considering the ripples her action would make in future.

Her only concern was the health of Astoria, her younger sister, not what would happen in the future. And that view had blinded her from the consequences of her action.

"We won't have to marry him. You will see. I have plans which will save us from marrying Draco." Daphne said resolutely.

"Sure. I will be eager to hear that plan," Astoria said sarcastically. "I am going to my room."

"No. Wait." Daphne said urgently. Astoria sighed as she stared at her sister.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Just wait. Okay?" Daphne asked. Astoria nodded and crossed her arms. Daphne closed her eyes and grasped the necklace which arrived in the morning from Harry as her Christmas present. 'I want Harry here.'

Astoria's attention was on the beautiful emerald necklace which her sister just revealed from under her t-shirt. She did not get enough time to admire it as a body suddenly appeared out of nowhere on top of her sister. Daphne was on her back and Harry was on top of her, his face inches away from her.

"Hi." he grinned.

"Hi. I am not surprised. I think you are going to be a pervert when you become a teenager." she chuckled, shaking her head. He glared at her and sat beside her as she sat up. Astoria was gaping at them. She was surprised that he was able to enter Greengrass Manor's ancient powerful wards.

"If your plan is to lose your innocence to Harry to escape marriage then sorry I am not participating." Astoria said in an amused voice not asking how he entered the Greengrass Manor. Harry snorted and looked at Daphne.

"Was that in the plan? I won't mind." he said cheekily.

"No it wasn't. Though we should wait a couple of years before doing that." she laughed. Harry and Astoria weren't sure if she was joking or not.

"So? What is the meaning of all this?" Astoria asked, sweeping her hands around them.

"Harry is going to cure your blood curse and then he is going to save us from the betrothal contract." Daphne said while grinning. Harry nodded seriously. Astoria's eyes hardened as she glared at them.

"Don't joke about it. I don't even want to know how you were able to tell him about the blood curse."

"I know it sounds crazy but Harry can do it. I believe him. He is not a 'normal' wizard. He has secret powers." Daphne tried to assure her. Harry sighed as his secret was now known by Astoria.

"Oh! So he is merlin?" she asked sardonically. Daphne groaned as she was getting tired of arguing with her sister. Harry was amused by their byplay. It seems the sisters at least had another thing in common. Their sarcasm. Harry decided to end their argument. He let his magic pour out of him. The sisters gasped as they saw shiny golden mist surrounding them, swirling around them. Astoria touched the mist and she was astonished by its warm feel. It was pure magic without any intent and function. Daphne had seen it only one time when he had used it to choke Draco.

"Let's get this job done so I can go to sleep. Okay?" Harry snickered at their mesmerized faces. Daphne was the first to get back to her senses. She nodded her head. Astoria looked at him with eyes filled with awe.

"Are you sure you can save me?" she asked tentatively. She didn't want to believe him. She didn't want to hope for a better life when there was no proof of that hope. Still, trying will only bring her more sadness, seeing another hope smothered out but she wouldn't be able to forgive herself if he could help her but being afraid of another failure she declined it and sentenced herself for a short miserable life. He smiled and inclined his head.

"Lie down on your back." he said. She was still a little skeptical but she laid on the bed with Harry sitting on her right and Daphne on her left. She closed her eyes and tried to contain her anxiety. She was happy that her sister was trying to save her but there was a part of her which was sure that this effort would be in vain that she was fated to die sooner than others. She felt a warm hand on her forehead. She gasped as she sensed a warm sensation filling her body.

Harry was pumping her body with his magic and enveloping her magic to understand what the problem was. He had thought that as the curse was called 'blood curse', the problem would be in her blood but he was wrong. There was a very strong curse around her magic, tainting her pure innocent magic with its darkness. He tried to remove it but it was resisting, absorbing his magic and growing inside her. Astoria suddenly cried as she felt nerve wrecking pain. Harry quickly put her to sleep so she won't be able to feel pain.

"Harry!" Daphne said worriedly as she heard her sister's tortured shriek. Harry shook his head, telling her to remain silent. Harry continued pumping her body with his magic while the dark curse inside her continued consuming it. Astoria was trembling and had spasms all over her body. Harry was covered in sweat, he was getting angrier and angrier.

'Die.' his magic screamed at the black curse. After what felt like hours but was only ten minutes, the darkness started diminishing and disappeared from her magic. Harry was panting. It was the first time he had used that huge amount of magic. He released Astoria from the sleep spell and lied down beside her and closed his eyes.

'Just a minute.' he thought and dozed off. Astoria woke up and sat up. She looked at Daphne who had tears falling down her cheeks and was looking at Harry who had his eyes closed. She smiled a watery smile at Astoria.

"Did it work?" she asked.

"I feel very good. It feels like I always had a weight on my chest from which I am free now. It feels like I had had a severe cold all my life and now I am free from it." Astoria smiled as she took a deep breath. Her body felt oddly energized. The usual mild pain in her body was completely gone. She looked down at Harry who was sleeping.

"Is he okay?" she asked. Daphne nodded. She scooted closer to him and caressed his hair with an affectionate smile. He did it, he saved her sister.

"He did it." she tittered. Harry slowly opened his eyes and looked at her.

"Did I die? Am I in Heaven? Because I am seeing two beautiful angels." he said, rubbing his eyes but not able to suppress his mischievous smile. Daphne smiled and said.

"No, you are in hell. We are two hellions who will torture you for eternity."

"I didn't know hellions were supposed to be beautiful." he grinned and sat up. Before Daphne can come back with a witty comment, Astoria had her arms around his neck and was sobbing on his shoulder.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." she said in between her sobs. Harry didn't say anything, he just caressed her head as she cried. Daphne was again crying, finally happy that Astoria won't die anytime soon. Astoria pulled from the hug and then embraced her sister. Harry watched as they both held each other tightly and cried in relief.

Astoria went to her room for a much needed sleep. Daphne and Harry were sitting on the bed.

"Part 1 finished. Now about part 2." Harry said. "Where is your father?"

Daphne checked the time. It was 10:20 in the night.

"He will be in his study, reading some books. He usually goes to bed at 11:30." she informed him.

"Okay. Where is that room?"

"The third room on the left on the upper floor."

"Okay. I am going." he said and left the room. Harry returned to her room after 10 minutes with a square parchment in his hand. He sat in front of her.

"Your father will cancel the betrothal agreement in May. Before that we will have the other document from Malfoy so his father won't have any power to stop that." Harry said as he burned the parchment and turned it into ash. Daphne put her head in her arms.

"What?" he asked.

"I wanted to read what was in that betrothal contract." she replied.

"Oops." he grinned. She shook her head, she wasn't going to be angry at him. He had just cured her sister and saved her from an unpleasant marriage.

"So how are you going back to the castle?" she asked.

"Tracey has the same necklace so she will summon me in the morning." he said as he lay on the bed. "Come on, don't you want to sleep?"

She was just staring at him, not comprehending his words. Harry rolled his eyes.

"We are having a sleepover. You know where friends go to each other's house and spend their night together playing, eating, sleeping. I would have liked having some fun with you and maybe some delicious food but I am very tired and drowsy so let's skip to the last part, sleeping. Goodnight." he drawled and closed his eyes.

"But..but.." she was sputtering. He grabbed her hand and pulled her beside him.

"Goodnight." he said with finality. Daphne scooted away and maintained a distance between them.

"Fine! But don't come to my side of the bed." she warned.

"Sure!" he said without opening his eyes. Daphne sighed in defeat and went to sleep beside her male best friend. She wasn't going to kick him out of the house in the middle of night.

Harry opened his eyes and found himself in an unknown room. He slowly recalled the events of last night. 'It was harder than I thought.' he thought about Astoria's curse.

He started to rise but stopped when someone moaned. He looked beside him and found Daphne draped all over him. Her one hand around his waist, her head on his shoulder with her cheek pressed on it and her hips tangled with his. Her blonde hair was covering her face and his neck.

"Hypocrite." he said under his breath. He checked the time. It was 6:30 in the morning. He remained still, enjoying the feel of her soft and warm body on his. He combed her hair and tucked it behind her ear. He smiled at her as he stroked her cheek.

"Wake up Daph." he said softly. She mumbled something in her sleep and buried her face in his neck. Harry shivered as he felt her warm breath on his neck. He shook her shoulder to wake her up. She finally opened her eyes and peered at him with her bleary eyes.

"You are on my side of the bed." that was the first thing he said to her smugly. She looked down at herself and found herself pressed against him. She yelped and went back to her side of the bed. Harry laughed at her crimson face. She glared at him. It was a rare thing to see her embarrassed. She turned her head to the other side and buried her face in the pillow, trying to disappear from here to save herself from the mortification. After controlling his laugh he finally greeted her.

"Good morning Daph."

"Good morning Harry." her muffled voice came as she had buried her face in the pillow so she won't have to face him. He nudged her shoulder so she would stop pressing her face in the pillow but it didn't work.

"I will go back to the castle in approximately two minutes. See you there." he said as he slid off of the bed and stood up. She removed her face from the pillow and joined him beside the bed.

"Sure, I will join you guys in the evening." she smiled. Harry nodded and pulled her in his arms.

"Goodbye." he said and suddenly disappeared. Daphne stumbled a little as she was leaning on him. She shook her head and went to shower with a big smile on her face. She was finally free. No need to worry about Astoria's curse. No need to worry about Malfoy.

Harry reappeared in his room and you guessed it correctly, on top of Tracey.

"Good morning Tracey." he smirked and pressed a kiss on her forehead. She smiled back and pushed him off of her.

"Is this going to happen every time I summon you?" she asked.

"Yes. You could prevent it by standing, you know. It is not my fault you were sitting on my bed." he grinned.

"You are going to be a pervert in future." she said, shaking her head. Harry stumbled back with his palm on his chest.

"You wound me my dear. Daphne had said the same thing but that is expected of her but not you my darling Tracey. You are not supposed to hurt me. You are to be the sweetest and kindest of our trio. Daphne is a bad influence on you." he said sadly. She rolled her eyes at him and hit him lightly on his head.

"Stop overreacting and go freshen up. I need a little help with my homework."

Harry playfully glared at her and went to the bathroom muttering about "girls taking advantage of him". Tracey smiled and left his room as her job of bringing him back to the castle was done.

It's been a week since the students returned to the castle after Yule break. Everybody knew something changed for Daphne Greengrass in the holidays. Before she had her trademark cold glare which was directed at everybody except her best friends Tracey Davis and Harry Potter. It was as if she was itching to hex everybody but now her eyes were filled with happiness instead of her cold glare, her blank face now had a brightness and a genuine smile. She still didn't talk much with others but her cold demeanor had disappeared. The students were amazed by the sudden change and were curious what brought this change but no one was brave enough to ask.

"So, Harry, when are you going to teach us new spells?" Daphne asked. She and Tracey were sitting on Harry's bed and were doing their potions homework. Harry was sitting on his chair, in front of his desk. They had decided that Harry's room would be the ideal place for their gathering. They recently came to know from the prefects that girls were allowed to enter their male friends room in the daylight but boys weren't. Harry had made a big fuss about the inequality. The girls had just dragged him back to his room to stop his tirade. He turned his head from his desk and looked at her. Tracey was still writing while Daphne was propped against the headboard and was looking at him. She had an excited smile on her face. Harry couldn't help but smile back. Since Malfoy had given him the betrothal contract and Harry had destroyed it, she was in a good mood. Harry again was happy that he hadn't revealed the content of the betrothal contract to her, otherwise there would have been anger and betrayal instead of happiness on her face. Harry was very angry when he read the betrothal contract. According to it, Daphne and Astoria were to be Malfoy's concubines. Not even his wives. Further, Malfoy was free to acquire any number of more concubines and wives. If that wasn't enough to enrage him, the sisters were to give Malfoy a magical oath to be loyal to him and obey his every command. And for selling her daughters, Mr. Greengrass would get funds from Mr. Malfoy to repair his old Apothecary. He was also promised the first born from Draco and Daphne as the Greengrass heir.

'Just wait Mr. Greengrass, your punishment is coming. Malfoys have joined the shit list, just another one mistake and I will torture them and make them my slaves.'

"Harry!" Daphne said loudly. She was standing in front of him, waving her arm. Tracey had put her books aside and was watching him worriedly.

"Huh?" Harry replied as he pushed these thoughts in the back of his mind.

"Are you okay?" they asked. He smiled and nodded.

"I have decided to teach you three spells after finishing our work. First the disarming charm. Second the shield charm and lastly the reductor curse."

Daphne was eager to learn more spells so she quickly went back to her work to finish it as soon as possible. Tracey smiled at her friend's eagerness.

February and March quickly passed. The trio were busy studying and enjoying their school life. Then April went by without any incident. In all these months, Draco Malfoy tried his best to interact with his 'betrothed' but wasn't successful. She was always with Tracey and Harry. When a letter during breakfast came from home announcing that his betrothal with Daphne Greengrass was cancelled, he was angry. He knew he had missed his chance. She would have been a perfect lady to produce his heirs. She was a pureblood from an ancient line, she was beautiful, she was perfect. In his rage, his instinctual fear of Harry Potter was pushed back in his mind.

"Potter!" he yelled, attracting everyone's attention. Harry and the girls were sitting at the end of the Slytherin table. Harry stood up and saw Draco coming towards him with his wand in his hand. Daphne and Tracey were hiding their excited smiles. That morning would be interesting. The professors were looking at the conflict. Professor Snape had already left his chair and was walking urgently towards them.

"Heir Malfoy." Harry bowed, hiding his smug smile. Draco didn't reply.

"FLIPENDO!" He yelled, pointing his wand at Harry. Harry quickly casted the shield charm.

"Protego."

The knockback jinx was stopped by the shield.

"You are going to pay for stealing my betrothed." Draco spat as he continued firing the jinx. Harry was amused at his display. He glanced behind him, at his friends who were enjoying the show. Harry's shield remained strong and protected him from the spells. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick came running behind Professor Snape to stop the fight. They weren't needed. A spell rebounded from Harry's shield and connected with Draco who went flying back and sprawled on the ground with a painful grunt.

"Potter! Detention for attacking Mr. Malfoy." Snape said coldly as he picked up Draco and started to leave.

"Stop!" Professor McGonagall snapped.

"50 points Mr. Malfoy from Slytherin for attacking a student and a week of detention with Filch. Mr. Potter, you are not to serve any detention with Professor Snape. We all saw what happened and it was not your fault."

"Do you disagree, Professor Snape?" she asked dangerously, seeing his sour look. He didn't reply and took Malfoy to the infirmary. Harry smiled gratefully at Professor McGonagall and took his seat.

"What was that?" Tracey asked.

"It seems Malfoy was heartbroken after the cancellation of the betrothal agreement. Who knew he was smitten with our beautiful Daphne Greengrass?" Harry chuckled.

"Of course. Who wouldn't be sad to not be able to remain with me?" Daphne said haughtily.

"Of course you are correct. But is it correct that I stole you away?" he asked, trying to contain his laughter.

"Ha! That he got wrong. Me, with you a peasant. Who would imagine that?" she continued her haughty persona.

"No problem. I always thought Tracey was more beautiful than you so I am not that sad." Harry joked.

"Yes. You both peasants make a decent couple." she said, nodding her head.

Harry flung his arm around Tracey and pulled her head towards him and pressed his cheek against her.

"See? We both look so cute together. Don't you think so, our queen?" Harry said playfully, their childish play creating pleasant sensations in his chest. Daphne peered at them and nodded after a second. Tracey was blushing as she pushed his face away.

"Stop you two. We are going to be late for the class if you don't stop your acting." She complained. The two laughed at her and followed her out of the great hall for their morning class.
