Daphne Greengrass if anything was an opportunist. She saw her chance and when she did, she took it. So, could you really blame her when she had a chance to turn Potter to the right side, she wouldn't take it. What she didn't realise was that he would end up becoming her best friend. Because in Slytherin you did not have friends. To make matters even worse she never imagined she would fall in love. But to understand all this we need to go back to the middle of November 1994.

She saw him by the lake alone like he had been for two weeks now. This was all because his name has come out the Goblet of Fire and he was named a fourth champion. Nobody but Daphne seemed to believe he hadn't put his name in. But hey she was not going to complain. It made her plan all the more easier. Oh and Daphne was ready to put her plan in to affect. Potter had the ability to be a proper wizard and she and her opportunity to now save him from his fate.

She slipped down to the lake quietly potion in pocket. She had to slip away before the blonde slime ball could notice she was gone. Honestly that boy was nothing compared to the likes oh her. He had no sense of cunning and knew nothing of true power. All he knew was using his daddies name. Where she Daphne Elizabeth Greengrass had trained in the Dark Arts this summer. Thanks to the potion she took she had no sense of guilt and self-doubt and understood magic was magic. So called dark magic was different sure but it made her feel alive and she knew just who to share this experience with. The boy who would make the perfect ally for her quest.

going unnoticed by him she sat down next to him, "Bit cold don't you think." She said plainly.
Harry jumped up surprised. "Greengrass what are you doing here!" Harry said over the soft rippling of the water from the black lake.

"Oh, you know certain blondes in the pit pissing me off and refraining from killing him." She said casually. "Saw you were alone and thought you might need some company. Or perhaps and ally" The Blonde said.

"Wow and here I thought you Slytherins were one big happy family." Harry said.

Daphne snorted, "Hardly Potter in fact nobody in that pit would be considered friends." She said. "Now Potter how about you and I work together for a mutual benefit. I will help you survive this tournament and in payment you and I spend some time together getting to know one and other. You will also learn in life their only two people you can trust yourself and one other person you put your total trust into."

Harry eyed her curiously, "Why you so interested in helping me Greengrass?" Harry asked.

"Oh, I have my purest of reasons you will learn if you take me offer." She said sweetly.

"How do I know you're not going to curse me?" Harry asked her suspiciously.

"Please Potter if I wanted to curse you, I'd have done it when I snuck up on you." She said plainly. "Oh, and here a gift." She said reaching into her robes producing a purple potion in a clear vial. "Now I am sure you are going to want proof this potion is not some poison so here." She held up her wand. "I Daphne Elizabeth Greengrass so here by swear on my life and magic. That I mean Harry James Potter no malicious intent with the potion I wish to gift to him." She said simply. "Well as you can see, I am still alive and Lumos" Her wand lit up. "Nox." The wand went out, "And as you can see, I didn't become a squib." She rolled the potion between thumb and forefinger.

"What does it do exactly." Harry asked staring at the slightly glowing purple potion.

"Well let's just say you will wake up a changed man. You will no longer hold your self back you will be who you want to be. You will become whatever you wish to become Potter. You won't care about your actions you will be happy in simple terms." She said. "Don't you want to be happy Potter? I can tell you have a rough life and being the subject of gossip must take its toll. Oh and lets not forget one month your everyone's hero the next you're the next Dark Lord. Potter stop and think about your self for once." Her blue eyes seemed to glow with passion as the wind whipped up throwing her blonde hair around. As her robes fluttered in the wind. "So Potter what do you say allies?" She said holding out her hand.

Harry hesitated for a moment. "Allies." He said and shook her hand.

Marvellous she beamed at him "Now the potion, take it right before you go to bed." She said slipping it into his hand. "Now come I have something to show you." She wrapped her soft hand around his and dragged him towards the castle, however when they reached the castle she let go. "Right now, follow me and be quiet." She ordered.

They reached the seventh floor opposite a ludicrous tapestry. "Now Potter this is known as the Room of Requirement what I am about to show you. My mum discovered it when she went here. To make the Room appear, a person must walk past the section of blank wall three times concentrating hard on what is needed. You can also put in clauses like only certain people can see or get in the room whilst you have it activated. The room will become whatever you need it to be. Now I am assuming life in the Lions Den is not that fun for you so let's move you in here. Or at least tell we come up with a better plan." She started pacing and eventually a room appeared. "There we go that should stay here indefinitely and only we should be able to see it." Daphne said.

The pair entered the room and it was elegantly decorated. With a dark oak four poster bed in one corner with emerald hangings. A roaring fireplace surrounded by two black leather armchairs and matching sofa. The floor was made of similar oak. There was a desk to study at and a bookcase packed with books. As well as a fine wardrobe.

"Hope you don't mind green." She said coyly.

"Actually, I am quiet partial to the colour green." Harry said.

"Well that's good to know." Daphne said. "Tippy!" She called. "Yes Miss Daphne?" The old female elf said bowing low. "Go to the Gryffindor dorms and bring Harry belongings here and pack them away." "Of course, Miss Daphne." The Elf bowed and vanished with a crack. It was there and back within minutes.

"Potter why in the world do you wear such rags your loaded?" Daphne asked disgusted.

"Well you see Ron, and he gets miserable, when people get things and he does not and." Harry said and Daphne cut him off. "

"Nope that won't do were ordering you a proper wardrobe tomorrow Tippy will go collect it." Daphne said in a matter of fact tone. Harry just thought it be best not to argue.

"Well Potter I will see you tomorrow, Tippy return home." Daphne ordered. "Yes Miss Daphne!" and the elf vanished with another crack.

"Yeah see you tomorrow Greengrass."

"Oh and Potter wait for me I will bring you breakfast." The she left without another word.

Harry was sleepy and decided he might as well get ready for bed. After a nice bath and brushing his teeth. His new private quarters had a bathroom attached. He got into bed in his pyjamas that to be fair where to large for him.

He remembered Daphne's potion and even though he knew how risky it was he downed it in one. It had a sweet taste to it, and he felt his mind go foggy. It was not like the Imperius curse nothing like that. However, he felt like a burden was lifting off him. It was like who gave a rat's ass about what anyone thought of him. Who cared about Ron and Hermione not believing him. Harry realised how much he had been holding back well no more from tomorrow all that would change. He would no longer be anybody's whipping boy he would do what would make him happy. He somehow knew this would not be the end of the Potions effects, however. This was because Daphne told him how he would wake up feeling like a new man. Getting properly into bed Harry could not wait to see what tomorrow would bring. As soon as his head hit the pillow he was out like a light.

Daphne smiled in triumph as she walked back to the dungeons, "Phase one complete." She said to herself. Hopefully Potter would be easily to convince to cut class tomorrow and she could put phase two into full swing. Her head full of her plans she walked back to the dungeon with a slight skip in her step.
