Harry Potter: A Different Tale

"Any problems?" Fleur asked as she pulled the hostages into the boat

"They weren't happy about us taking more than one hostage each" Cedric said "but apart from that, it was all good"

"Oi Harry!" Adrian shouted once they were all onboard "We're all here!"

"Alright, I'm taking us home!" Harry shouted before he flew back, pulling the boat with him.

"My, I must say that that is an excellent show of teamwork and support between the five champions" Ludo said as the crowd began cheering.

A minute or so later they arrived at the shore, the champions and hostages climbed back up while Harry lowered himself down to the ground where Daphne pulled him into a big kiss.

"Careful Daphne" Harry said in-between kissing

"Why?"

"Because you're wet and I'm a little excited" Harry replied, Daphne stopped kissing him for a sec and realized that she was actually wet.

"Are you complaining?" She raised an eyebrow

"Hell no!" He said as he pulled her in again

"By the way" She broke off and began whispering into his ear "I want to give you a special prize for rescuing me"

"Oh, and what's that?" Harry's spine shivered as he felt her breath against his ear

"Well, we're not quite ready to go all the way but how about this?" She whispered something into his ear

"Really?" Harry's eyes widened "you'd do that…with your…."

"Yes" She smiled

"Hey Harry" Adrian said

"Sorry!" Harry quickly picked Daphne up and carried her bridal style "I have to go little brother! There's an emergency!" Harry shot off into the air with Daphne in his arms and flew straight back to the castle.

"What's up with him?" Adrian asked Rachel

"Well….I have an idea about why he might have done that" Rachel smiled

"Well, why?"

"I'll tell you when you're older…but for now" She pulled him into a big kiss "consider that you're reward for helping me"

"Thank you" He grinned, to be fair Harry was the one who came up with the idea and did most of the work but he wasn't going to argue.

Harry and Adrian were training by the lake, Adrian fired a leg locker curse at Harry who jumped to the side and fired his own back. Adrian dodged it then fired a stunner which Harry swatted away before hitting Adrian with an Expelliarmus.

"Damn it" Adrian cursed

"Well done brother" Harry said "you're definitely better than before"

"But I still can't beat you"

"But you can probably beat a good amount of people in our year" Harry reassured him "you've improved a lot, before you wouldn't even have been able to last a second, now I think you could beat Malfoy at least."

"Thanks" Adrian said, he was about to say more when he saw Hermione approach

"Adrian" Hermione said "I've had enough of this"

"Enough of what?"

"This!" She gestured between herself, Harry and Adrian "You need to stop this childish nonsense!"

"What nonsense?" A confused Adrian asked

"Ever since you met with Harry you've completely changed, you're brother has turned you against us! Against me!"

"No he hasn't" Adrian replied "you and Ron did that yourselves when you both didn't believe me and abandoned me to face a life threatening task on my own"

"Adrian" Hermione began

"You know what else" Adrian cut her off "when I asked Harry if I should stay friends with you both, he told me that it was up to me what I did and he would support me no matter what I chose"

"Adrian he's a dark wizard!"

"I am right here" Harry reminded her "and I'm not dark. I fit more into the grey category"

"Grey?"

"That's either someone who thinks dark but goes about it in a light way or thinks light but goes about it in a dark way or a simplified version is someone who is on neither side. I'm not on the light side but don't you dare think that I would even consider joining the side that put my parents in a coma"

"Come on Harry" Adrian said "I'm not really in the mood to train anymore" He finished with a glare at Hermione

"Agreed" Harry said as he and Adrian walked off. Leaving a furious Hermione.
