Chapter 176: Percy's Point Pronouncements
"My magic comes from my core and my wand, not my feet." Harry pointed out. "Also I know it was stupid, please don't give me an earful about that, I know Lord Black and the Tonks family are likely to shout at me until my ears are about as useful as Weasley."
"Fair enough," Draco snorted at the joke. "but still, you were amazing! I can't believe that you killed a minotaur! And a manticore! And a dragon! It was amazing! You..."
"Draco," Harry coughed as he interrupted him. "while I love you enthusiasm and how happy you are about my achievements, please keep your voice down, I don't want to bother the baby." Harry said as his hand reached out and petted the thunderbird who happily leaned his head into Harry's touch.
"He's so cute!" Tracey cooed as she leaned down and looked at him. "Have you named him yet? Oh, is it a 'him'?"
"In order: I have not named him yet, and it is indeed a 'him'." Harry answered.
"How do you know?" Crabbe asked, he and Goyle both looked curious.
"Well, my big and intelligent friends, I think it's because I've just gained another familiar." Harry replied.
"Another one?" Angela asked, looking very impressed. "That is indeed impressive, not many wizards are capable of gaining two."
"Can that even happen?" Blaise asked.
"It can, but like I said, not many wizards are capable of it." Angela replied.
"You have another familiar." Jet hissed at Harry.
"Jet," Harry began.
"I am your familiar!"
"Yes, you are my familiar." Harry sighed. "I..."
"The other bird is your pet, I accepted that..."
"After a lot of arguing..."
"After an acceptable amount of arguing," Jet corrected, "but now you have another familiar?" Jet demanded. Harry was about to respond, but then he paused as an idea came into his head.
"Jet, are you really going to talk about your nephew like that?" Harry asked.
"Don't try and...wait...nephew?" Jet asked, sounding very confused.
"Of course, when we first met I was a child in human years and you were just a hatchling." Harry replied. "We grew up together, I'm your master but we're also like brothers. Now, I have another hatchling to look after, who better to help me look after it then you. It's basically my child, that makes you its uncle."
"Uncle Jet." Jet softly hissed, trying out the words. "I like it!" He declared.
"I'm glad." Harry said in a relieved voice. At that moment Jet spotted Draco reaching out to touch the thunderbird, Jet leaped off of Harry's shoulders and landed on the bed. He flicked his tail and slapped Draco's hand away.
"Hey!" Draco said as he pulled his tail back.
"Hands off, albino!" Jet hissed.
"What just happened?" Daphne asked. Harry smiled and leaned forward so he could whisper into her ear.
"Jet was upset, until I pointed out that he could be my new birds uncle." Harry whispered, Daphne covered her mouth as she giggled. Tracey and Angela gave the two of them knowing looks, though Tracey briefly had a sad smile on her face.
A few minutes later Madam Pomfrey came back in and got to work healing Harry, Percy arrived while she was doing that.
"Champions," He called, only to pause when he saw that none of them were getting up to come towards him, he remembered within that moment that they were all injured and needed to rest in their beds, thankfully for him he was able to play it off. "I have your scores." He said before turning to Cedric. "Mr Diggory, you managed to get the first key which brings you ten points, Madam Maxime, Headmaster Karkaroff and Ludo Bagman have awarded you six points for the first opponent Professor Dumbledore has given you eight points along with Minister Fudge, Lord Black has gave you five points. You did not beat your second opponent so you have gotten a default score of ten points. Leaving your total on..."
"Fifty-nine." Draco finished before Percy could. Percy shot him a small glare before he turned to Fleur.
"Miss Delacour, you managed to beat your first and second opponent. You failed against your third, leaving you with a default score of ten points. For your first task you were given a seven from Mr Bagman and Karkaroff, an eight from your headmistress along with Professor Dumbledore, a six from Minister Fudge and Lord Black. For your second task you had the same results except Lord Black gave you a seven. Leaving your total on..."
"A hundred and nine." Draco said, once more interrupting Percy.
"Mr Malfoy, I am more than capable of doing this myself. And it would have been that if not for the fact that she gained an extra ten points for getting her first key and an extra twenty for getting the second, which actually leaves her total on..."
"A hundred and thirty-nine." Blaise cut Percy off. Percy glared at him before he turned to Victor.
