Harry Potter: A Different Tale

Nott was walking back to his room when he was yanked into a classroom, the door closed and he found himself face to face with Harry Potter. Before he could say anything, Harry pushed him against the wall with one hand and aimed a wand at Nott's face with the other.

"So Nott" Harry said slowly, causing Nott to gulp "what are your intentions with Rose?"

"Uh…I…I want to take her out on a date and spend the day with her" Nott answered, hoping his response would allow him to keep his head

"Is that all you plan to do today?" Harry narrowed his eyes

"I…I just want to spend the day talking with her, maybe some hand holding, that's it" Nott confessed, he was surprised when Harry's wand fired a spell that hit the wall behind him.

"Let's get something clear Nott" Harry said in a deadly voice "I have no grudge against you, I have been spending most of my life looking after Rose. I've protected her, I've cared for her and I've stopped people from harming her. I'm not going to tell Rose she can't go on this date with you, she is old enough to make her own decisions. However, I am warning you now, hurt her in anyway and I will show you the true wrath of a big brother."

"I…I understand" Nott whispered "my sister has just started her first year"

"Good" Harry let go of Nott and lowered his wand "time to set some rules"

"Rules?"

"Yes, rules" Harry nodded "the first rule is no touching Rose without her permission, if I find out that you've even held hands without her telling you it was fine then I will break your hands. The second rule is you will not force her to do anything she doesn't want, even if it's as simple as going into a shop. The third and most important rule, she had better have a good time, is that agreeable to you?"

"Yeah" Nott quickly nodded

"Good" Harry smiled "break any of those rules and I'll know then I'll break your neck" Harry walked out of the classroom, still smiling. Leaving a confused but still very much scared Nott.

Later that day, Adrian had just come out of the library, not somewhere he usually spent his free time but today he had spent it looking for information on the previous tournaments. He was walking down an empty hallway when he was confronted by Ron and Hermione.

"What do you guys want?" Adrian sighed

"Look, just admit that you put your name in" Hermione said "and we'll forgive you"

"Forgive me?" Adrian laughed "Forgive me for what? I didn't enter my name, you're the ones who should be asking for forgiveness. I've been your friend for years and you abandoned me so quickly yet you're saying I should beg for your forgiveness?"

"We know you did it!" Ron snarled "You've always been an attention seeking prat!"

"Don't pretend you weren't one either" Adrian responded "and I was an attention seeking prat. But not anymore, I have better things to do now then play around for fame and attention. I have a family name I want to live up to and family I want to impress"

"What? Like your snake brother?" Ron sneered

"Ron, leave Harry out of this" Adrian said

"Why should I?"

"Because Harry is actually really nice!" Adrian defended his brother "Ever since we agreed to get along he's been willing to help me whenever he could, from training to little things like making sure I eat"

"He's a slimy snake! I don't get why you want to hang out with the evil git!"

"Hey! Don't call Harry evil!" Adrian said passionately "He's not evil! He's an arrogant and over the top snob but he's not evil!"

"Adrian, he's done nothing but try and bully us for the last few years" Hermione pointed out

"Has he?" Adrian asked "Because I'm sure that we were the ones that went up to him ninety-five per cent of the time. Even if that was true, we've both changed. Harry's being nice to me now and we're both becoming friends"

"He's trying to turn you dark!" Ron accused "He'll try and get you to join you-know-who!"

"Harry would never do that! Voldemort attacked mum and dad when we were young and with the way that Harry worships mum, I doubt that he'd be willing to join up with the dark wanker."

"I bet it was his idea to put you both in the tournament!"

"We didn't enter Ron!" Adrian said with exasperation "We both swore on our magic and life that we didn't. Hermione doesn't know about magical oaths because she's a muggleborn but you do and you know what they mean. We did not do it!"

"Yeah right, keep lying to your best friends!"

"Weasley, you are a new type of thick" Harry's voice called, Hermione and Ron turned around to see Harry standing at the end of the hallway "You alright Adrian?"

"I'm fine Harry" Adrian said "really, thanks though"

"Alright, just remember to come tomorrow for training. I want to increase your training for the tournament"

"Yeah, alright" Adrian nodded "Excuse me" He said to Ron and Hermione before he ran past them towards Harry, he and Harry walked off, leaving a fuming pair of Gryffindor's.
