Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Yule Ball

Returning from Gringott, Harry makes future goals that he will have to achieve before he dreams big. Firstly, he will have to visit Luna Lovegood and apologize on behalf of his mother for her absence.

It is unnecessary as his mother died, but he needed to rectify that matter. As the living son of Lily, he is duty bound as a brother in all but blood.

He will have to make up for it. Even if he doesn't know, but now, he knows. He also plans what to do after this tournament. His initial plan was to leave after the tournament, but then, he started to worry about the Prophesy.

While he doesn't care much about it, he knows to antagonize Lady Fate. Even his Primach Gene knows better, like that war that happens during the Horus Hersey.

Reaching the room that he presides at, he steps in with his own password and walks in. "I have so much to achieve. I must rest now. I'll talk with Luna tomorrow."

Walking toward the restroom, he cleaned himself and then dropped on his bed.

The next morning came.

Harry already woke up before break fast and did his study before the inevitable of dancing class. He awoke at 5:30 and did simple jogs, then returned and started studying on runes as he planned to take it as his elective.

Now, don't get him wrong. He already is sufficient enough to try the elective. He just solidifies his knowledge and gathers some knowledge from his Beauxbaton and Durmstrang friends.

He plans to change it next year on the second task. Looking at the time, he gathers his belongings and then walks out, heading to the dining room.

"Hey, where have you been, mate?" Ron immediately ran toward him when he saw him. Frowning, he looked at Ron but decoded to refrain from commenting. "Nah, I've been in the Library early this morning."

"Library? Why are you there?" He asks as if he doesn't do anything to slight Harry. "Studying and catching up, mate."

"Pshh, that is boring. Why not accompany me? We can go and enjoy ourselves some party with the Seven years." Ron says seemingly expectant.

"I am sorry, Ron. But I got tasks and loads of assignments. I have also been busy, I can't." Shaking his head, Harry says, looking around where to sit.

"Catch up, I am famished." Sitting down, he started to eat, ignoring Ron completely. Ron stares at Harry, and for a second, his expression twisted in anger.

"Hello, Harry. Are the nargles bothering you?" A sweet melody filled his table, and Harry smiled. "Hi, Luna. I've been looking for you."

"Do you know that you are my mother's God-dauggter?" Seeing his first business and the most important objective in front of him, Harry smiled.

"Am I? Don't worry about it, Harry. Your mom is gone." With a nonchalantly voice, she replies .

"Nevertheless, I wanted to rectify that. I plan to open a trust fund for you until you graduate from school and secure a job and future venture. This I say as Lord Potter." He explains, not given a chance for Luna refusal or lack thereof as she is always in a dreamy scape.

"Aside from that, I would like to ask of you whether you like to go for the Yule ball with me?"

"I am willing, Harry. Don't worry." She says, then sips at her drink. "Also, the wrackspurts seem to be active today."

Nodding as if he understands what his sister in all but blood say, Harry decided to focus on his food then his next class.

8:30 a.m

Hall.

"Sorry to inform you, but the school will dismiss the class until 12:00. Until then, I am to teach you how to waltz. It is to prepare you before the Yule Ball that will happen tonight. I don't want any of you to shame Griffyndor. So, watch and learn. Ron, come here."

Like in the movie, McGonagall started to teach the student. Harry pairs with one of his acquaintance Hermione and dance practice with her.

After a few minutes, he gets down to the shoe.

"Do you have someone to go with you in the Yule?" Asks Hermione. "I am sorry, Hermione. But I already asked Luna. I wanted to rectify and do my part as his god-brother. She is my mother god-dauggter, so.."

"I understand." With a smile, Hermione nods in understanding. "How do you find out?"

"Well, now that I am a legal adult by Wizards standards, I go over the family document and found about it. Neville and I can also be considered as brothers, you know?"

"Really?" She asks, surprised. "How does this work?"

"I guess a magic agreement and vows. It is the duty, after all. Even Severus and Draco. He has a duty to look and teach his godson until he deem him mature."

"I see." They dance a few time then parted. "Good job, Hermione. I hope you found a good partner."

"Thanks, Harry." With a beet red face, Hermione walks away hoping to disappear from Harry's sight. She feels embarrassed and upset about not being able to dance with him.

'Sigh, what a headache.' Walking down the corridor, he decided to prepare his suit. 'Wait, I haven't spoken with Sirius since last week. I can send him Hedwig later.'

Going to Potion Class, Harry spends the next few hours writing and doing his potion, which Severus tries to find fault in it but refrain from commenting when he found none.

After Potion, he then skipped history and visited Diagon Alley, and custom made his suit like that of Kingsman style.

Using the silk from the forest spiders and part of the Basiliks. He left them to Madam Malkin and was promised to be mailed before the Yule Ball.

He even ordered the extra dress for Hermione, Ronald, and Luna. Ronald, due to being friends when they were innocent.

The time for the Yule Ball came.

With his marine blue jacket tuxedo on, he looks himself one more time and then walks out. Standing before the entrance, Harry saw Ronald wearing his formal tuxedo, which fit perfectly and escorted his partner, Padma.

Standing there, he waited when his eccentric partner walked in with her funny hairstyle, but at least she wore Harry's gift. Smiling, he doesn't care about it and treats her like his sister shenanigan.

"How you look perfect, little sister." Giving her his elbow, Luna bow then grab it. "Thank you, Harry."

Not caring for other eyes. They walked toward Fleur Delacor and her partner and started chatting with them. They then joined by Cedric and Cho with Viktor Krum waiting for his partner.

"Ah, there she come, Viktor." Seeing his friend, Harry smiled, seeing her dressed beautifully with her makeup.

"Good, now." McGonagall approaches them and started to explain what they need to understand. "Champions will open the floor, and then others can join."

"Now, Viktor, you and your partner first, followed by Fleur, Cedric, then Harry." Following McGonagall instructions, the champions arrange themselves and then march forward.

As the music starts, Harry escorts Luna to the dance floor and starts dancing with her. They dance for a few hours, and then he parted with her as she feels sleepy.

After escorting her to her dorm, he returned and decided to walk around the school. His physical strength has increased once more, and he hasn't had personal experience in combat.

Even if the DNA of a Primach is giving him a sort of virtual experience, he wanted to have hands-on experience.

'Luckily, I am magically invulnerable. I need to visit the acromantula and test them. The Giants as well and the werewolf.'

Making up plans, he nods his head and then walks off. While on the way, he met Hermione walking with a jar in her hand. "Hello, Hermione. What do you have there?"

"Ah, Harry. Hi. I don't know, but this creature is unlikely beautiful. And also irritatingly buzzing around." Taking a closer look, he smirked.

"A Beetle? Why I am not surprised." Seeing the minuscule detail on the Beetle expression thanks to his superhuman nocturnal eyes, Harry smirk. "That's, my dear, is an animagus."

"What?" Surprised, she almost dropped the jar. "Careful, dear. You might accidentally kill it."

"Come." Leading her away, Harry wanted to see if she can help him for his future plans on weakening the No-Nose plans.
