Hey everyone and welcome to The Black Affair. This is my first FanFiction and I hope I don't disappoint too many of you. Fell free to leave as many suggestive and helpful comments down below but please no hate. As usual normal disclaimers as J. created the universe and characters except the OC's. Main paring will be Harry/Narcissa but will not be limited to it.
But enough from me, enjoy.
"Sir. What do you mean?" Harry asked his Auror superior, trying to keep his anger under control.
The Head Auror leaned back in his chair, folded his arms and looked unamused at Harry.
"I was perfectly clear as to what I said Mr Potter, so what misunderstanding do you have?"
"Misunderstanding? I'm Harry Potter! Order of Merlin First Class, TWICE! Conqueror of the Dark Lord Voldemort, youngest winner of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, youngest seeker at Hogwarts School, was once the Master of Death and…" Harry stopped now out of breath as the Head Auror cracked his neck as if telling Harry to tell him something important.
"Are you done Potter?" asked the Auror politely to which Harry nodded in defeat
"Good, because despite the large list of achievements you have not one of them have taken place outside of your education at Hogwarts or it's lavish grounds. So tell me what have you done in the four to five years since leaving the school?" inquired the Auror leaning back in his seat again smiling at his handy work.
Harry thought long and hard. He came out of Hogwarts after retaking his seventh year and hunted around the countryside and ministry to piece together his long and unique ancestry. And through that he unlocked both bloodlines previously unclaimed and several vaults at Gringotts with a large amount of coin in each. As spoils of war went he was the legitimate owner of the Slytherin fortune after Tom Riddle died and had been defeated in the ancient laws of a duel to the death.
He had not only taken the treasure but had collected three family titles, Potter, Peverell and Slytherin. The Black title should belong to him as Sirius' heir but Malfoy kept at his long and winding court case to become the Black heir. So technically he had the title but while the case was still ongoing he did not own it and therefore Grimault Place was no longer an available home for him.
That was where things looked up for Harry. He purchased a manor in the countryside and a multiple story loft in London. He had become a celebrity in the wizarding community and after girls threw themselves at him, he earned the title of a playboy over the past few years often having relationships with rich magical girls wanting to try his hand at marriage only to find out he was only after them for friends with benefits. Some girls were fine, are fine, with this setup but others weren't happy about it.
Harry wasn't one to boast or claim trophies with the amount of women he's slept with. But he had received quite the reputation of late amount of high profile witches he's slept with. Most notably the French Ministers visiting niece who he had seduced easily which sent most of the country into panic as it might have damaged the relations between the two countries. But now that Harry thought about it he had seduced one more high profile Ministers daughter.
The daughter of his Head Auror. Harry never told anyone about him and his daughter, hell. Only found out there was a relationship after they controversially broke it off. Now he knew why he had been given this shitty assignment, in an act of revenge.
"Nothing Mr Potter. You have done nothing since you left school. There are men and women who have been in this Auror department over ten years and nearly all of them have had their fair share of small, insignificant assignments. Do not think you can wave your celebrity status around here and firstly not only to be above the law but secondly have the audacity to expect to immediately go on raids for Dark magic users."
Harry was stunned. He had not expected this kind reception from the Head Auror. He suddenly felt like a small child in front of him. Harry came into the Aurors following a teenage goal of becoming one after meeting Mad-Eye-Moody. And he was definitely not going to let this be a roadblock for him. Harry realised that the only way to play the Auror and it was to accept his fate and convince him that this assignment was not a punishment.
"Yes Head Auror, I will take this assignment with open arms and will atone for my wrongdoings," Harry said humbly as the Head Aurors face grew more angry. He was not liking this one bit. For he had expected Harry to keep on arguing and causing a commotion allowing him to suspend Harry.
But now he wanted this case? He was obviously playing with himself, toying with himself. But he had gotten this far in his career to be beaten at a game of words by some boy half his age.
"Alright Mr Potter. You understand who you are protecting right?"
"Yes Sir, Mrs Bones as she has been receiving threats against her name so while the rest of the Auror department finds who's responsible a small team shall look after her wellbeing."
"I'm impressed Mr Potter at your skill of reading my notes that are upside down. But those notes are for the next three Aurors to walk through the door. For you Mr Potter that is not your assignment."
With a flick of his wand a file popped out of a vast library of files behind him.
"Your assignment Mr Potter is to protect one Ms Narcissa Black as she has appealed for witness protection after testifying against her ex husband Lucious Malfoy and other unknown Death Eaters."
Harry was excited. It was known that Death Eaters captured low profile targets at night not to be seen but if it was someone like Narcissa Black they would make sure it was daylight with half of Magical England there to witness it. The night shift was alwys given to the more senior Auror and this left Harry open for the day shift
"And what time shall I be protecting Ms Black Sir?"
"You will have the night shift while Mr Daverson while take watch during the day," the Head Auror could see the discomfort that quickly spread across Harry's face before he put back on his mask.
"Wonderful sir, shall I go and get ready for my assignment?"
"Yes Potter, and do not step a foot out of line otherwise we will terminate your Aurors badge. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Sir, and can you say hello to Angelina for my. I know your daughter would love to hear from me again," with that Harry shut the door and walked out of the Auror building just as Auror Johnson was beginning to scream his name.
