Soon Harry got home where he met the family butler an earth pony called Steward Alf.
"Hello Alf" Harry greeted as he entered.
"Hello master Harry" Alf greeted back. Harry then saw Filthy Rich and Diamond Jubilee in the main hall.
"I'm home and I'm going up to my room!" Harry said to them as he then walked upstairs, the "how to get the mare of your dreams to notice you" book fell down onto the stairs as he walked up.
"Master Rich sir" said Alf "this came out of Master Harry's pouch, you want me to bring it up to him?"
Filthy Rich's eyes widened as he spied the title. "No Alf" said Filthy Rich "I will give it to him myself!"
F. Rich then took the book and then went up on his way to his son's room. Harry was using his magic to put the Daring Do book with the others he had.
"Dad?" asked Harry noticing him.
"You dropped this" said F. Rich as he put the book down a table. Harry then gulped when he realised what the book was.
"So who's the mare who stole your heart son?" asked Rich.
Harry just stayed silent when Rich said "you were defensive when I asked why were you were at Twilight's house, it's her isn't it?"
Harry nodded. "My boy" said Rich grinning "going after the personal student of Princess Celestia!"
Seeing the look on his face Rich then asked seriously "you do like her don't you?"
Harry nodded again. Rich then said "son if you really do, go for her! She might like you as well!"
"I'm just afraid she would tell everypony and I will have to be centre of attention" said Harry.
"Harry she is kind of a bookworm" said Rich "I don't think she would being centre of attention so I think she would understand!"
Harry smiled and said "thanks dad!"
"No problem kiddo" said Rich.
"Dad I'm almost 17" said Harry annoyed "I'm not exactly a kiddo!"
"You will always be my kiddo" said Rich laughing as he left.
The next day Harry was walking to the library with his pouch full of some of his favourite books. On the way he saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle the 3 'blank flanks' his sister liked to pick on.
"I'm telling you" Scootaloo was telling them "Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are up to something with that so called apology they gave us!"
Harry smiled, it seemed Tiara and Spoon listened to him and Fork. He then came to the library and then knocked on the door using his magic.
Twilight then answered it and said "oh it's you Harry! Do please come in!"
Harry then went inside and took out the books he had. This included Fear and Loathing in Las Pegasus, Beauty and the Diamond Dog, Sherlock Hooves and the Changelings of Baskerville and more.
"Interesting books you got there" Twilight said.
"Thanks" Harry said.
"So you say Diamond Tiara's parents Filthy Rich and Diamond Jubilee adopted you?" asked Twilight.
"Yeah years before Tiara of was born" said Harry "since they found me as a young colt, they are the only parents I know!"
"Does it ever both you that you were adopted?" Twilight asked trying to sound as polite and not rude as possible.
"It used to" Harry said remembering something.
Flashback
The young colt Harry (who at that time was about the age of Tiara, Silver Spoon and the CMC in the present) was looking a little depressed and sitting on the floor while his parents were taking care of the newly born Tiara.
"Something wrong Harry?" asked Diamond Jubilee concerned.
"It's just I hope I'm not stealing attention from Tiara" said Harry "since I'm not your real son..."
Both Rich and Jubilee then gasped out loud. Rich then pulled him closer to them by his wings.
"Listen here young stallion" said Diamond Jubilee "don't ever say that again!"
"You are our real son" said Rich "it's just you came from somepony else, do you understand?"
"Yes dad" Harry apologised, little Tiara was now reaching for her brother's nose.
"Looks like little Diamond Tiara wants to play with her big brother" said Jubilee laughing.
End Flashback
"Nice of them to take another lost colt and raise as their own" Twilight said.
"Yeah they are good parents" said Harry "they don't condone Tiara's bullying either!"
Soon after reading together Harry then packed up to go home.
"I'm going home" said Harry.
"bye Harry" said Twilight "I will see you at the party!"
"Alright...what party?" Harry asked.
"your 17th birthday party" said Twilight.
"How did you know about that?" asked harry confused. Twilight then showed him an invitation his party.
"That's my dad's hoovewriting" Harry said getting a little angry, he and his father will be having words when he gets home.
"so you don't want me to come" Twilight asked.
"no of course not!" said Harry "just a little miffed he invited somepony without asking me first!"
When Harry got home he marched up to his parents.
"something wrong son?" asked Jubilee.
"Dad did you invite Twilight to my party without asking?" asked Harry.
"okay I was afraid you would be too nervous to do so yourself" said Rich.
"okay dad truth be told I might have been, but any other pony you might have invited?" Twilight asked.
"I assure you no other pony and I promise I won't invite any other pony without asking since I know how you hate the spotlight son" Rich said.
Harry seemed satisfied and then walked off to see Tiara looking at him sheepishly.
"eh big brother now you brought it up" said Tiara "I kind of invited the 3 blank...I mean Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom so I could show of my big brother!"
"anypony else?" Harry asked trying to hold his anger.
"no Harry, I promise!" said Tiara "I won't invite any other pony I swear!"
"alright Diamond Tiara" Harry said walking off.
On Earth Albus Dumbledore was working on some advanced runes used for trying to track Harry, since they were so advanced and difficult they took a lot of time to prepare. He had been working on them in the few spare time he had since what would have been Harry's 3rd year and they were almost ready.
