Harry Potter: The Saviour's Awakening

"You were going to sell them to other students?" asked Daphne, aghast.

"What are you going to do with fifty bouquets?" Harry retorted, looking quite confused. "Sure, they look pretty, but once I asked you, what's the point in keeping them? At least this way it would be of some use to others, right?"

Daphne didn't know how to reply to that. She groaned. Leave it to Harry to ruin a special moment. She honestly hadn't expected anything like this; in fact, there wasn't a need for him to ask her at all! Of course, her mother, the relationship guru , would say the problem was due to lack of communication. Daphne honestly didn't understand what her mother meant by that and she knew that Harry didn't either.

Dylan was silently snickering in the background. He had warned Harry against doing this, but he hadn't listened. Harry might be a genius, but he was incredibly dense when it came to human emotions, but from what Aunt Amelia had told him, Harry had gotten a lot better with time.

Suddenly, someone crashed into him, giving him a big hug. "Thank you so much for the puppy," whispered Astoria in his ear. "She's adorable."

"You're welcome," said Dylan, blushing madly.

"I would love to go to the ball with you," said Astoria, pecking him on the cheek.

Dylan touched his cheek where Astoria had kissed him. A dopey grin formed on his face and he looked ready to faint.

It was worth all the effort.

Fleur Delacour was hanging out with her friends in Hogsmeade as she kept an eye on Harry Potter. He had just entered one of the high-society shops in Hogsmeade called Twilfit and Tattings along with that younger boy he had referred to as his brother. Telling her friends that she would meet them later, Fleur entered the shop too and could immediately realise why it was not as crowded as the rest of the village. This shop was meant for the elite. She kept browsing through some of the clothes while keeping an eye on Harry. She was here to ask him something important and finally had the privacy to do so.

"If it isn't Lord Potter," said Mr Twilfit with a broad smile. "Congratulations on your emancipation, Harry. I watched you during the First Task of the tournament, and if I may say so, you were brilliant. How may I help you today?"

"Hello, Jacen. We're here to buy dress robes for my brother," said Harry, a small smile forming on his lips as he nodded to the young man.

Jacen Twilfit was in his early twenties and was the son of the owner of Twilfit and Tattings. Jacen managed the Hogsmeade branch of the company while his parents operated the shop at Diagon Alley. Having interacted with the Boy-Who-Lived over the past few years, he had taken a liking to Harry, which was why the two were on a first name basis.

"It's a please to finally meet you, Mr Lestrange," said Mr Jacen Twilfit formally, shaking the boy's hand. "Now, what material are you looking for? The usual, Harry?"

"Yes. Acromantula silk would do perfectly. What colours do you recommend if his date is dressed in purple?"

"Charcoal Grey would do," said Mr Twilfit as he flicked his wand, causing a mannequin to appear, wearing similar coloured dress robes. "I would recommend a light purple shirt and a dark purple tie. Do you want a long tie or a bow tie?"

Harry looked at Dylan with raised eyebrows. "What do you think?"

"I have never seen you wear a bow tie before," said Dylan, looking at the mannequin curiously.

"That's because I don't like it," Harry shrugged. "I prefer a long tie. Let's see which suits you best and we'll go with that."

Mr Twilfit again flicked his wand at the mannequin and Dylan frowned when he saw the bow tie. "No, you're right. I think I'll go with the long tie," he said as he observed the other one.

"I think this design is too simple, Jacen," observed Harry. "Add a vest to it, will you?"

Mr Twilfit caught on to Harry's idea. The shirt changed to white in colour and a purple vest appeared, with a tie of the same colour. The trousers and expertly styled robe changed to dark charcoal grey.

"Cool," said Dylan, looking impressed.

"I like it too," said Harry, nodding in appreciation. "Now, how do we make it better?"

"What do you mean? It looks perfectly fine to me!"
