Harry Potter and the Lighting Lord

Chapter 26

"This isn't over Potter!" shouted Draco. "My father will show you why you shouldn't mess with us. He'll strike you where it hurts you the most. By the time this summer is over, you will be a crying baby!" He then walked away.

Harry clenched his fists. Daphne leaned closer and whispered, "That sounds like a threat."

"I agree" he whispered quietly. "Tell your family to be on high alert during the summer. I'll tell the same to Sirius and Aunt Amy. Knowing Lucius, it'll probably be an assassination attempt, especially after the article that is going to be printed soon about him suspected in the opening of the Chamber of Secrets. That should remove his power base in the Ministry."

"Hmm" said Daphne, again leaning her head on Harry's shoulder. "Is the plan for Hawaii still on?" she asked.

"Oh yeah!" he whispered excitedly. "I've wanted to go there for the past four years. And we can argue there as much as we would like; no one to interrupt us."

Daphne snorted. Leave it to Harry not to forget about her telling him that they needed to talk. She really was angry and disturbed at the fact that he was willing to risk his life so easily. Besides, she had spotted a change in him since the Lockhart incident. She did not want him to carry that scar for the rest of his life without a closure.

As they reached King's Cross station, they got down from the train. Harry said goodbye to his friends and portkeyed to Potter Castle. He couldn't wait for tomorrow's edition of the Magical Daily.

He wasn't disappointed. When Harry was having breakfast the next morning, he unfolded the newspaper and smirked.
