"You okay?" Harry asked Selena who had changed out of her tattoo form.
"I am fine, are you okay daddy?"
"Yeah, I am fine." Harry said in a soft voice, part of him thought he was over reacting and suggested that he forgive the twin but Harry chose to ignore that part.
He had too many important things to do, he couldn't have the twins bother him or waste time on two as immature as them. Plus Harry was not lying when he said they were acting like bullies, he had thought it several times in the past but had chosen not to say anything partly because he feared them turning on him but also out of a sense of feeling like he owed them for bringing him to the burrow plus the fact that the twins hadn't really hurt anyone too much, Harry had had worse at the Dursley's.
Old Harry was willing to pretend it was okay, new Harry was not. Harry knew bullies, plus as far as Harry was concerned any debts he owed the Weasley's were gone when he saved Ginny in the chamber.
Harry had just finished practising a spell when he was interrupted.
"Harry." A soft voice said followed by some light knocking. Harry grinned before he went to the door and opened it to reveal a nervous Ginny Weasley.
"Hi Ginny." Harry grinned before he pulled her in and closed the door. "Nobody saw you right?"
"I don't think so." Ginny said just as Harry closed the door.
"Good." Harry said as he placed her body between his own and the door, he leaned down to kiss her.
"Wait." Ginny, said causing Harry to stop. "I...I..."
"What's wrong Ginny?" Harry asked.
"It's just that whenever we snogged before it was never in a bedroom." Ginny explained.
"Oh." Harry said, realising what she meant. "It's alright Ginny, I am not going to pressure you to sleep with me or anything. Like I said, this is just two friends having fun."
"Oh...okay, thanks Harry." She said with a relived smile. "I know that we're snogging and all but I was kind of hoping to save...you know...for someone special."
"Alright first of all I am special," Harry grinned. "but I get it. So, snogging?"
"Snogging." Ginny grinned and the got to work.
"Morning Daddy." Selena hissed in greeting once Harry had woken up.
"Hi princess," Harry yawned. "how are you doing?" He asked as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
"I am fine," Selena answered. "the house elves found me some spiders to eat. I am much bigger now." She added proudly.
"Yes," Harry agreed as he looked at Selena who was indeed a few inches longer, not a drastic difference from before but it was definitely a noticeable one. "yes you are princess, you're the prettiest snake around and soon you will be the biggest as well."
"Daddy!" She exclaimed, if Harry did not know better then he would think she was blushing.
"What?" Harry asked innocently as he petted her. "You are daddy's favourite and prettiest girl." Harry cooed.
"Thank you daddy!" Selena said as she pressed her head against his hand.
"You are welcome sweetie." Harry commented as he began thinking on his situation. He could admit to himself that he found the fact that he was cuddling and hanging out with one of the most dangerous beasts in the wizarding world funny. But quite frankly he didn't really care, if he was not worried about her life then he would let Selena come out and hang out with him everywhere, unfortunately if he let it be known that she existed then she would more than likely be killed.
Harry knew he was not like Hagrid, Hagrid could see a dangerous creature and think it was misunderstood or not as dangerous as others made it out to be. Harry on the other hand knew exactly how dangerous Selena was, Harry had fought an adult basilisk after all, even now she was more than easily capable of killing him. Yet Harry also knew that Selena would not harm him, he had read how they were very attached to their family members and they were family as far as Harry and Selena were concerned. Harry knew she was dangerous but he did not care, all that mattered to him was that she was loyal to him and Harry could be loyal to her without fear of betrayal.
Much like with Dobby and Kreatcher, the two would obey him and follow all of his instructions including his order to keep his secrets. Harry had Dobby's undying loyalty and Kreatcher, for now at least would act the same. Plus Harry knew that the elf was old so if he did become too much of a problem then it would be easy to fake a natural death, of course Harry did not really want to do something like that but was willing to do so if necessary. Harry knew that the old elf was more loyal to the painting of Walburga Black than himself but knew that he could eventually wean him off of her and be more loyal to himself. It did not really matter now as he was in Walburga's good books but it always helped to have more loyal people in your corner.
Harry looked up when he heard some hooting, he saw Hedwig on her perch. Harry grinned as he stood up and walked to her.
"Say hello to your Aunty Hedwig." Harry hissed to Selena, Selena hissed back before offering her head to Hedwig who gently tapped her head with her own. "Good morning Hedwig." Harry smiled as he stroked Hedwig, his relationship with his owl was far different from his one with Selena.
Firstly Hedwig was his first real friend after Hagrid, but for Harry the relationship just felt different. Selena was like a child for him but Hedwig always felt like an equal or at times a sister. Harry did not know if other people felt the same way about their owls or if it was simply another thing that made Harry different from others but he didn't really care. Hedwig and Selena were his family, anyone who did not like that fact could piss off.
