Chapter 20: Potter's Provocation
When Harry got back to the common room with Daphne and Tracy, the former still holding onto his arm, they found Draco Malfoy sitting there. When he saw the trio he immediately jumped to his feet.
"Greengrass!" He shouted, attracting the attention of the whole common room "what do you think you're doing?"
"Wondering why I haven't chopped off your tongue yet" Daphne answered
"Don't disrespect me!" Draco demanded "Why are you holding Potters arm?"
"Because I like holding it" Daphne answered with a straight face "it's really strong but feels comfortable in my hands."
"You know my father is making a marriage contract between me and you" Draco replied "you shouldn't be hanging on Potter, I'm your future husband!"
"That's where you're wrong Malfoy, or at least one more thing which you're wrong about, we should probably add it to the list" Daphne replied.
"Tracy" Harry whispered to Tracy "she's gotten sassy, I think I've been a bad influence on her"
"True, but with that being said I am not letting you get away from us two now" Tracy whispered back
"You see Malfoy" Daphne continued "I'm already in a marriage contract with someone else, I just found out earlier today. Right before we went to potions class and Harry punched you in the face, do you remember that?"
"Who?!" Malfoy turned bright red in anger
"That'd be me" Harry spoke up "I only just found out today as well, funny how that works"
"Potter! You stole my girl!" Malfoy shouted
"I don't see your name on her" Harry looked at Daphne "a good thing too, it'd be a shame to taint such perfection with your name"
"Watch it Potter!" Draco warned
"Or what?" Harry scoffed "You can't beat me in a duel, as evidenced by the redness of your face from when I punched you. If you like, we can have another duel thought I should warn you that if we do I will punch a lot harder than last time"
"You think you're so brilliant?!" Malfoy growled "You're just a pathetic loser who shouldn't be in this house"
"Says the boy throwing a tantrum like a five year old" Harry retorted "I see no reason why I can't be in Slytherin house."
"You're a half-blood!" Malfoy shouted
"Slytherin has had many half-bloods over the years" Harry responded "some have even made prefect and head boy"
"You're a Potter, you should be in Gryffindor!"
"The Potters are an ancient and most noble house Malfoy, can you say the same about yours? No, because unlike my family, the only thing that has made your family important was money. Besides, there have been plenty of Potters in Slytherin, though the majority go to Gryffindor, we have had the occasional Slytherin in the family."
"Plus Harry here has acted way more Slytherin than you ever have" Tracy added
"What?! That's preposterous!" Malfoy shouted
"Says the boy screaming like a child" Daphne looked at Malfoy with disgust "ever since coming here Harry has excelled in classes and made allies in pretty much every house, all you have done is shout, rely on your fathers name and made things more difficult for the rest of us."
"How have I made things more difficult?!" Malfoy demanded
"You're constantly making enemies in the other houses, a prime example would be Longbottom"
"That pathetic squib?" Malfoy scoffed
"Malfoy he is clearly not a squib if he has been accepted into Hogwarts" Tracy pointed out "besides, you think he is weak because of his lack of magical strength but I'd like to remind you that the Longbottoms are also an ancient and most noble house. Besides, he's only in his first year so you don't really know what he's capable of. He has the potential to become a stronger wizard than you"
"Defending your boyfriend?" Malfoy sneered
"Thank you for proving our point Malfoy" Harry sneered right back "you're childish and arrogant, people like you are why the rest of Hogwarts looks down on us Slytherin's. Instead of gathering allies you are creating enemies, you may think you're at the top but unlike the rest of us, you'd be screwed in the real world."
"It's true" Daphne agreed "without your daddy, you're nothing"
"How dare you insult me?!" Malfoy drew his wand but then he found it flying out of his hand and landing in Potters left hand whilst his right hand had his own wand.
"No, go on, you were saying" Harry said as he absent mindedly tossed Malfoys wand up and down in the air.
"Give me back my wand!" Malfoy demanded
"What wand?" Harry asked as he dropped the wand in question on the floor
"You'll pay for this Potter"
"You'll pay in blood if you threaten me again" Harry warned "be appreciative I haven't snapped it yet, now Draco, you're a bit thick so I'll say this slowly. Stay away from me and my friends if you want to keep what little is left of your dignity, Daphne is my fiancée so if you bother her than you bother me and that is a bad idea if you want your face to stay to not be covered in blood."
"Are you threatening me?!"
"No, it was a greeting" Harry said sarcastically "what the hell did you think it was?"
"One day Potter" Malfoy said slowly "one day I will make you suffer"
"That day is every day I have to see your ugly mug" Harry responded as he picked up Draco's wand "now, unless you have anything else to say, take your pathetic twig back and stop bothering me"
