Harry Potter But AU?

Daphne's pov

Since the first day, Daphne got almost everyone she wanted, in addition to Theo and Tracy, she managed to get also Bulstrode. Bulstrode or Milie as she asked to be called, agreed to help in exchange for help in class and 15% of anything profitable. For a bull looking girl, Milie was more like a shark.

There were only two she must have: Zabini and Potter.

Zabini, as much as it amazed her, managed to complete the transfiguration assignment in class on the first lesson, something that showed his talent in it. As for Potter, there was something about him that made her have a gut feeling she should take him in, it might have to do with the fact he is a hard worker, it may also be because he's so m.a.t.u.r.e about everything, she didn't know, what she did know is that she have to get him to join, as for Malfoy, he prefers to act stupid, bully other people and make trouble for the boy who lived, so she preferred to leave him and his gang to themselves.

So when in lunchtime she found Zabini alone she made sure to talk to him.

"Hey, Zabini, I have a proposal for you."

"What is it, Greengrass?"

"You can call me Daphne, anyway, I start a research group which is also kind of a study group where we learn together for class and invent things to help us."

"oh yeah, what do you want from me?"

"I want you to join us, you're the best transfiguration student in Slytherin. It would help you too, we will walk first to make sure everyone has at least EE on tests."

"no thank you, I can learn alone."

"What do you want?"

"First of all I want to learn the real reason why you start a research group"

"My sister is sick with a blood curse, I want to find a cure, and if there was no cure invented yet I want to invent it, i'm not sure what it would take to invent a cure so I gathered around the best students in Slytherin to work together. So, would you help me?"

"I would help you… If while we are researching a cure I find something that interest me, we would also research it, no questions asked, and of course a binding oath, as I would never believe a Slytherin in future promises."

Daphne grind her teeth but said fine, they bind the oaths and went separate ways.

'Now I just need to pull Potter in'
