Harry Potter and the Triangle Prophecy - Sahits

Harry grimaced and Draco Malfoy mumbled, “Typical Gryffindor reaction...”“Typical Slytherin behavior, circumventing the rules, anything to achieve an end...”“Now, now. All wizards who suddenly find themselves needing to function in the Muggleworld do it. And your beloved Aberforth was a Hufflepuff. So there,” she said, as though thatsettled it. Harry drank his tea, still feeling miffed about his mouth.“And,” he shot at Malfoy, “your girlfriend is a Gryffindor, and everyone in her family, whomyou’re trying to impress, so I wouldn’t advise you to make too many comments about ‘typicalGryffindor’ behavior around the Weasleys....”“Speaking of Weasleys, weren’t you the one who flew to school in the Weasleys’ car at thebeginning of second year? Weren’t beyond breaking more than a few rules there, were you? IfI remember correctly, it was all over the Evening Prophet that night that loads of Muggles hadseen you, and then there was another story a few months later about Weasley’s dad getting introuble at work because of it....”“He’s also Ginny’s dad, and you’d better stop being so smug about that if you ever expect himto let you near his daughter again.”Mrs. Figg sighed and waved her hand; the cups and saucers and other tea things hurledthemselves into the sink, which started filling with a mixture of hot and cold water from theseparate taps. Harry frowned; he’d had his teacup to his mouth, still drinking, and it had flownout of his hand.“That’s enough,” she said. “You didn’t know we’d gone to Swansea to get Draco his license,obviously, so you must have come for some other reason besides accusing us of high crimesand misdemeanors.”Harry grimaced. In the fuss over Mrs. Figg bending the rules, he’d almost forgotten. Ofcourse, that was what had happened virtually every day since he’d restored the timelines--something always seemed to get him sidetracked before he could find a moment to talk toMalfoy about the Obedience Charm.“Well, I recently found out something that I thought Malfoy--er, Draco--should know.Actually, I’m surprised you didn’t tell him--wait. Maybe you did...”Draco Malfoy looked back and forth between Harry and Mrs. Figg. “All right. I give up. Whatare you talking about?”Mrs. Figg scowled. “Yes, Harry. What are you talking about?”Harry drew his lips into a line. “Okay. Here’s what I know.” He turned to Malfoy. “When youwere about a year old, Voldemort came to your parents because of the Prophecy. He gavethem a choice: raise you to be his servant or he’d kill you. They chose to cooperate, and heput a spell on you as a kind of insurance. It was an Obedience Charm.”Draco Malfoy looked at his former nanny. “Did you know about this?”She shook her head vigorously. “This is news to me. How did you find out, Harry?”10
