Chapter 27: The Gala! Part-2
{Potter Manor, Untraceable, Somewhere in Ireland}
{08:01 PM, 30th Oct 1991}
Harry tugged at his dress robes, before smothering the urge to look around as Ted walked up to James and hugged him, Andromeda, did the same to Lily.
'Nope, not doing that,' before the attention could shift to him Harry slowly walked away and looked at the photos of various trophies and medals present in the small living room, among them were several medals with a golden 'M' in the middle. Harry counted 6 different medals hanging on display with the latest one awarded in 1982, the interesting thing that tugged at his attention was that there was no plague on its frame marking who received the award even though it was clear it was presented to Charlus.
"...an this is Hector, Hector?" Andromeda spoke to Lily and then turned to me questioningly, Harry guessed that she could see he was uncomfortable. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Lord Potter, Lady Potter," Harry was a little stiff in his introduction, both of them simply ignored that and smiled at him, Lily took a step towards him, "I'm happy you decided to come," she smiled at Harry again before turning to the fireplace as it flashed once again.
"If you would excuse us, why don't you enjoy some dessert before we pay our respects..." she finished and Andromeda nodded and motioned me to follow. They walked out of the little living room before I realized that, that room wasn't a living room, that was just a small room made for the purpose of welcoming guests into the manor. The group of four stepped into a large hall, which for the occasion was turned into a ballroom, the room was huge, and wasn't supported by any pillars which once again defies his knowledge of the structural capacity of the roof. As Harry followed the Tonks he noticed the Greengrass family at one corner, noticing Daphne's eyes on him Harry shared a nod before he broke up from his group.
There were two large staircases that allowed one to walk to the second floor, Harry decided to go away from all the attention directed towards him, most of the families in the hall had one or two Hogwarts students present in them so soon after Harry's arrival rumors started flowing through the hall. Harry on the other hand walked through the hallway on the second floor, there were several portraits of his ancestors lining the halls and Harry read through them as he walked.
'''Fleamont Potter- Commander of the ICW forces against Dark Lord Gormlaith Gaunt, Order of Merlin First Class'''
'''Charlus Potter- Commander of ICW forces against Gellert Grindelwald, Order of Merlin First Class'''

As Harry continued reading through the portraits he unknowingly walked into an unknown area as the portraits ended, it looked like a patio, he could see a vast ground covering the front of the property beyond which were massive gates. It was a pretty sight Harry had to admit, he stared at it from the balcony as some people were apparating to the manor when he felt someone approaching him. The weird feeling was he felt something different about this person like he was being tugged towards them.
So Harry turned around and used [Observe] at the first chance he got, while Harry stared at the blue screen that appeared in front of him, a pair of emerald green eyes regarded him with curious eyes.
Ivy was getting ready to go down the hall when she saw a dark-haired boy going toward the patio, she was about to ignore him and go down to the party but then she felt it, she felt drawn towards him but there was also something blocking her, it was a weird sensation, like she when her radio gets blocked due to the wards, she could feel some small sensations coming from him, whoever this boy was.
"Who are you?" she asked curiously, he was almost two heads taller than her so she had to look up, thankfully not enough to completely tilt her head like she had to do with Dad and Uncle Sirius.
Harry stopped reading the stats and scanned his biological sister for the first time, she looked like a mini Lily, from her hair color to her eyes, it reminded him of the eyes he once had and the life he discarded, Harry used [Gamer's Mind] actively and said, "No one, can you point me towards the bathroom," he said ignoring looking at the bright green eyes that were scanning him.
"You feel weird," He heard Ivy say before her eyes widened as she realized what she had said to a complete stranger, "I'm sorry, it's right that way, there are some stairs leading down from the hall which would lead you to both the hall and the bathroom..." the blush on her face was cute as she went tomato from neck up.
"Thank you," Harry replied and left, he could feel a pair of eyes staring at him, and as he left her immediate vicinity, the weird feeling that was coming from his chest stopped.
'Don't tell me it has something to do with us being siblings, if it was that I should have felt something with Charlus, not with Ivy...' Harry sighed as he ruffled his hair before using a charm to get them back in shape.
'What is this sibling fiesta-' Harry bemoaned as he came face to face with his twin, Charlus was looking at him with a weird look on his face and Harry agreed with his mixed feelings, Susan who was with Charlus spoke up breaking the awkward staring contest, "Hector, nice to see you, how are you?" she said with a smile.
Harry returned her smile with a stiff nod and said, "I'm good thanks, Susan, I was just looking for the bathroom if you will excuse me..." he gave them both a strained smile before walking away.
Harry was tired of interruptions so he pushed open the first door he saw, he realized he wasn't as much of a sociopath as he thought he was, as weird unfamiliar emotions bubbled in him when he remembered the pair of emerald green eyes, and before he could calm down a picture caught his attention making him question everything once again...
