"Besides why are you going at Harry and not Ron when Ron's the one who broke the rules and attacked him?"
"I can't give him a hard time when he's recovering and you're saying Harry didn't break rules?!" She couldn't believe the words that were coming out of Ginny's mouth
"The difference between you and me Granger" Harry spoke between eating "is that you constantly obey the rules or break them completely whereas I stretch the rules to their limits but never beyond. That's why I never get in trouble and on the very rare occasion I do then I accept my punishment. You didn't see me whine when McGonagall took away points for my swearing"
"She only took ten points" Hermione pointed out
"That's because it'd be unfair to take away more" Ginny pointed out "she's strict but fair, ask anyone and they'll tell you the same thing. Well except most of the Slytherin's and other trouble makers. Anyway Harry used one curse word outside of class and that was in a highly emotional situation, one you caused by the way."
"Face it Herm" Harry purposefully annoyed her with her nickname that she didn't ask for "despite however much you wish we were in trouble so you could feel better, we're in the right"
"You think you're so smart?" She looked down on them
"Amongst over things" Harry smirked "intelligent, strong, good at magic, excellent at quidditch, the best in class"
"And devilishly handsome" Ginny added
"Yeah" The girls behind Hermione sighed, Harry winked and smiled at them, those who could still stand looked very flustered. Even Hermione felt a bit weak at the knees and the worst part was he was right, about all of those things.
"So you think you're better than all of us?" She attempted to continue in her rage
"Depends on the activity" Harry replied "Lavender is probably better than me at divination, the elves are better than me at cooking, the Patil twins are better at drawing and singing than me. I think a few people here are better than me in quite a few things however in class and quidditch then I'd say I'm the best and I'd stick with that until someone proves me wrong.
Once they do I'll actually try and put a little bit of effort into class and if they're still better than me then I'll actually try to succeed. After that then they can claim the title if they want"
"Wait you don't put effort into class?!" Hermione exclaimed "but…but why not?"
"Didn't feel the need to put any effort in, I get the job done so why should I bother?" The other girls stared at Harry in wonder and awe, if it wasn't such a daily occurrence then he'd find it uncomfortable."
"And" Ginny spoke "no one convince me that Harry isn't the most handsome boy in our year or the best dancer"
"Dancer?!" The girls shouted, gathering a bit of attention from the few people that were in the hall, but fortunately for Harry they didn't seem to see him between all the girls so they likely didn't care enough to pay interest
"You had to mention that?" Harry asked sarcastically
"You dance?" Parvati asked
"I do a little in private"
"A little in private" Ginny snorted "our first year he got to the platform early and because he was bored he played some music and started dancing in front of the muggles, he actually earned quite a bit of money from it."
"Thanks" Harry spoke through gritted teeth
"Hold on" Lavender interrupted "I remember seeing a boy with a black hat dancing, I wanted to get closer but mum and dad insisted I hurry up while all the muggles were distracted. You mean to tell me that that was you?"
"Unless there was another dancing boy that particular the day then yes that was me" Harry sighed in resignation
"So girls" Ginny spoke to the group "to sum up my boyfriend is not only the best in our class and the most powerful student our year, he's also the best looking, he works out, his rich, he knows how to clean, his quite romantic when he wants to be, he can cook, he gets along with kids and he's a great dancer. Add that on to the fact that he could beat nearly any muggle in a hand to hand fight and you can see why I don't want to let him go"
Harry blushed a little at Ginny's praise while the other girls felt quite jealous about the fact that Ginny was right, and they couldn't blame her for bragging. If Harry was their boyfriend then they'd be bragging to anyone who would listen, even Hermione would admit that, not to anyone but she'd still admit it.
"You know how to fight?" Hermione asked
"No" Ginny replied sarcastically "Ron got hurt because Harry asked him to stop too politely" She then looked to the rest of the girls and talked in a normal voice "you should see him when his doing all those fancy kicks and flips, he looks so graceful, it just takes your breath away. He also looks pretty hot when he does it
"I thought I was supposed to be the one who made you blush" Harry joked
"You do but let me have a turn for once"
"Ginny" Lavender spoke softly "what would it cost for you to let me borrow Harry for a week?"
"I don't know" Ginny pretended to think about it "that'd be a whole week without snogging, and with Harry being as good as he is I don't think I could last that long, it's quite addictive. We done it every day since the year started and I haven't gotten remotely bored. What about you Harry?"
"it's a few hundred years too early for me to get bored of that" Harry finished his food
"I'll pay you Ginny" Parvati interrupted
"Harry's the richest wizard in England so I think I'm fine" If possible the girls seemed even more infatuated with Harry
"Look at famous Harry Potter" Ron limped in
"What happened to your leg?" Ginny asked
"I sprained it when I went down the stairs" He growled
"Look" Harry interrupted "I know in your mind you've probably made it where everything is somehow my fault, but if you didn't attack me then I wouldn't have hurt you. However angry you were at the time doesn't count as an excuse as well, if you didn't attack me then you'd be walking without a limp, perfect vision and all of your teeth."
"He is right Ron" Parvati admitted
"Yeah" Lavender agreed "you're lucky Harry didn't get really angry or use magic, you saw what he did at the duelling club. Although you probably didn't seeing as he toyed with you and Malfoy for ten minutes before breaking your nose"
"You did attack Harry first Ron" Ginny sighed "and frankly you deserve what you got if you wanted to punch the guy who was still standing after getting slapped by a hippogriff"
"You know if I keep blushing my cheeks will burn" Harry joked
"Yeah go on then" Ron scowled "take perfect Potters side"
"I'm not perfect" Harry smiled "there are quite a few things wrong with you know, for example my right arm is slightly longer than my left"
