So I made a mistake in the last chapter that contradicts itself. Can anyone point it out before I correct it?

Chapter 2

Friday, July 26th, 1991

Greengrass Manor, Location Unplottable

Daniel Greengrass had made sure his family was ready to go an hour before their expected meeting time. "Now, Daphne, Astoria, what do you know of the Potter family?"

"They are one of, if not the oldest, living pureblood family. They use to wield a lot of political power but in the last 50 years or so, have stepped away from Politics." Daphne said.

"That is correct my child. The Potters have long been a powerful influence in the world of Politics. They also have always been an extremely powerful family magically. Since the founding of Magical Britain, there is not a single war that they have not fought in. We are an Ancient and Most Noble House. The House of Potters is a Most Ancient and Most Noble. So remember, be extremely courteous. The title of Lord Potter itself gives him a lot of political clout, and the fact that it's current holder is none other than Hadrian Potter, the boy who lived, gives him even more power."

"Why did he ask for us to come?" Astoria asked.

"I do not know Tori, I only know that he asked us to come today. Now, here is what's going to happen," he began explaining to them how they were going to greet him and then when it was one minute until 6, he stood up, gathered a handful of Floo Powder, and waited for the clock to strike 6. As soon as it did, he threw the powder into the fireplace, and called out Potter Manor."

Potter Manor, Location Unplottable, same day

At exactly 6, the fireplace flared green, and Harry thought to himself, Well, here goes nothing. Lord Greengrass stepped out of the fireplace and immediately moved to the side, allowing his family room to come through. "Greetings Lord Potter, allow me to introduce my family, this is my eldest daughter Daphne." He pointed to a very pretty young woman who had the deepest blue eyes, and blonde hair. "My youngest Daughter Astoria," here he motioned to a smaller, bubbly child with brown hair, and blue eyes as well. "And my wife, the Lady Greengrass."

"Greetings from the House of Potter, to the House of Greengrass. Now that the formalities are out of the way, perhaps we can head to the dining area. There we will be time to talk after our meal." Harry led the way to the informal dining room, and then once his guests were seated sat down himself. Their food, prepared by Harry's new kitchen elf, Mips. After a the meal, Harry led them to the sitting room. "Lord Greengrass, Daniel, may I call you Daniel?" at his nod, Harry continued. "Thank you, and please call me Harry. Anyways, how much do you know of who was the Greengrass of Greengrass in 1943?"

"My grandfather was shortly before his death in '45 at the hands of Grindelwald." Daniel told him.

"Are you aware of the fact that he was very good friends with my great grandfather?"

"No I didn't know that. If I may be frank, what does that have to do with us right now?"

"The fact that the war was at it's peak at that point caused both Lords to worry about the future of our houses. Seeking to strengthen the alliance in times of war, they signed a contract stating that should the heir of House Potter and a Daughter of House Greengrass be born within 2 years of each other, then they were to be wed. As you know, I was born at the end of July in 1980. And your eldest was born on the 17th of August that same year, activating the contract." Harry gave them a moment to digest this before speaking. "Unfortunately the contract is unbreakable giving neither of us a choice. Ms. Daphne, I want you to know that I do not like the Idea of being forced into a marriage anymore than you must. However know that you will not just be a trophy wife. Your thoughts and opinions will matter, and you will have just as much say as I do in this marriage. I will not stop you from pursuing your dreams and I hope that in time we can come to love each other."

The young girl just sat there mouth agape at what she had just found out. She'd always dreamed of meeting her prince charming and falling in love and getting married for she knew her parents would never sign a marriage contract for her. However, that choice, the most intimate choice she could make, was taken from her. Angrily she got up and stormed out the door. Her mother got up immediately after and followed while Daniel begin to try to apologize. "Do not worry sir, I'm not concerned about it. I know personally how devastating it is to have grown up without this thrice cursed contract only to have it dropped on. The goblins were going to do the notifications but I felt it prudent to break the news personally."

Daniel Greengrass just sat there. After a moment, he begin quizzing the young boy who was apparently his future son-in-law.

As Daphne stormed out the house her magic reacting to her anger and destroyed a nearby cabinet, and shattered the glass on the back door, through which she emerged and then took a seat on the terrace. Her mother soon joined her. "Is there anyway out of this contract mum?" I don't want to marry someone who I didn't choose. I don't want to end up in a loveless marriage like the Malfoy's are."

"I know my dear. And if there is a way then we will find it."

"He's going to be a target for the Death Eaters who escaped time in Azkaban. Which will make me a target by extension. I know that the Malfoy's have approached Papa for a contract. When they find out..."

"I know dearie. But perhaps instead of thinking only of your situation, perhaps you should also think of him. He has already offered you more than what most Pureblood Lords would. You won't be a trophy wife to him. Perhaps you could even grow to love him."

Daphne sighed and said, "I have to go back in there and talk to him don't I?"

"No. Not at the moment. I'm sure he understands your reaction. Take some time and then go talk to him." with a nod, Daphne took a deep breath, stood up, and made her way back inside where her betrothed was being quizzed by her father.

"So tell me Lord Potter, how is it, that you came to know so much about pureblood customs when you have not been taught by anyone?"

"Ah that answer is rather long and complicated, and has to do with what happened on Halloween. You see my mother was a brilliant witch. She knew that Voldemort was coming after me, for some reason that I do not know, so she created a ritual. Voldemort offered her a choice to stand aside and live, but she chose to die to protect me. This sacrificial magic created a sort of protection around me. I was taken from Godric's Hallow that night and brought to my mother's sister's home by the Headmaster. The magic my mother had cast did not only protect me from the Killing curse but it also knew that I would not have a happy childhood there, and so it brought me to the Ancestral Home of the Potter Family. My parents have portraits, but I believe that the headmaster is currently holding them, along with all the possessions from that house, and more. I've asked the Goblin's to force him to return everything that belongs to my family.

"After the magic brought me here, I was raised by my Head elf, and taught everything by my grandfather's portrait. He was head of House Potter from 1951 until his death at the hands of Voldemort in 1980, mere days after I was born."

"And what are your plans for your titles?"

"Well as I am Lord Potter, Lord Peverell, Lord Gryffindor, and Lord Slytherin, as well as Heir Presumptive to the house of Black, I will wield a lot of political power. I will bring back our traditions, while at the same time, making our world better for those whom are of Muggle descent. I plan to completely change the Hogwarts curriculum as soon as I am able to, and I plan on starting back up Potter's Potions as well as a couple of new business and foundations. It is my hope that this world can become a world where the old ways are respected but that the Newest members of our world, the muggleborns, do not feel as though they are being oppressed by the purebloods. I agree with neither the light, nor the dark agenda. And as soon as I turn 11, I can appoint a proxy to my seats on the Wizengamot. At least the Potter-Peverell seats. I will keep the Gryffindor and Slytherin seats and Lordships as quiet as possible at the moment as I have no wish to endure that scrutiny. As it is, being a dual Lord of two of the most ancient and Most Noble houses will already put me under a spotlight as if the fact that I am known as the boy-who-lived did not. I have no desire for fame, and I lack nothing in money. I simply wish to have a family, something that I didn't have. Portraits and House-elf's can only do so much."

Daniel Greengrass was impressed with the 10 year old in front of him. Despite having lived a lonely life, and not being raised by a family, he was a smart and respectful young lad. Already Daniel could see the waves the boy would cause by no more than doing what is right. "Tell me Harry, why do you wish to keep the betrothal a secret?"

"It is far better for you and yours if the public merely assumes that she and I got together on our own. It will prevent the reprisal of the more dark families, and give you the respect of the more light families. While making it known that there is a betrothal contract will instanly paint more of a target on your families back as to hurt me, people will know to hurt Daphne. And I cannot allow that. Nor can allow her to continue hiding behind that door listening into this conversation. Come, sit and let us get to know each other."

At around 9 the Greengrass family floo'd back to their home with promises to come by again before the Potter Ball on the 31st. Daphne had slightly warmed up to him, and had even given him a small hug as she left. Harry felt that things were beginning to look up for him. With a smile, Harry made his way to his bed.

And that's it for this chapter. This one is so much shorter than what I wanted but I felt the contract discussions were beginning to drag, and I didn't have a way to put more in this chapter. I promise the next one will be longer however. So please, read and review.
