"I'd have to agree with Potter" Snape added "this potion was clearly made by the girl, either that or she had someone make it for her"
"What I'd like to know is why?" Flitwick asked, the poor man felt like he doubled in age
"I don't know why I'm the only one in trouble" Cho cried "clearly Ginny was using one as well, there's no way Potter would be as in love with her when he could have had me"
"You're not the smartest bird in the nest are you?" Harry sneered at her, Snape was rather impressed by Harry's sneer technique, it was even better than his "I'm with Ginny for the person she is, the fact that I think she's the best looking girl in school is just a bonus, as for love potions I met her in my first year and we became a couple in my second on the train ride over. So she had neither the capabilities or time to make a love potion, besides one thing Ginny has over you is the fact that she doesn't cry all the time"
"Harry" Dumbledore spoke
"Listen sir" Harry interrupted "frankly I think you should offer her the same treatment as we did to Corner, because if you don't then I may just have to take matters into my own hands and you may not like that"
"Are you threatening me?" Dumbledore summoned every ounce of will power not to seem angry
"No, I just want you to remember I have a wide variety of actions to choose from if this isn't dealt with properly, now it's really just a matter of which would be better for getting my point across. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go to transfigurations, good bye" Harry stood up and left, Dumbledore and Cho were too busy stating at his exit to notice the curved lips of Snape and Flitwick.
Harry soon got to the common room and told Ginny and the twins exactly what he had said to Dumbledore, his story earned him a kiss from Ginny and a bow from the twins. Unfortunately for them Hermione heard, and walked over.
"I can't believe you said all that to Dumbledore!" The entire common room looked towards them, they couldn't help but enjoy the interactions between Hermione and Harry. They enjoyed seeing him put her in her place, it was always just a matter of how he was going to do it.
"I can't believe that you're still willing to talk to me but still, here we are"
"Harry you should show the headmaster some respect" She scolded
"You should mind your own business" Harry calmly 'suggested' "what happened at the court is common knowledge by now so don't expect me to even want to be in the same building as him, second of all Cho tried to use a love potion on me and Dumbledore wanted to let her off easy"
"I'm sure he had a good reason" Hermione argued
"Yeah your right Hermione, I can forgive him for ruining my life because he had a good reason that he's not telling me. Unfortunately for him I've worked out why he did what he did"
"How could you have?" She asked
"Well Hermione" Harry smiled "you see in-between my ears is this thing, I believe it's called a brain. Apparently the better brains can work things out quicker, and apparently, mine's really good." Harry continued despite Ginny and the twins snickering "Now I sadly can't say the same for you, please for the love of god or in your case books, please leave me alone" No sooner than Hermione had left the four began conversing, half an hour later Ron came and started shouting at Harry
"Why can't you just leave her alone?!" Harry stood up and looked him in the eyes, Ron didn't even notice he took a step back when he saw Harrys green eyes looking at him as if he was looking into his soul. The others again watched in anticipation
"I did" Harry spoke slowly "I was talking with my friends when she came over and started bothering us, I told her to leave us alone. You know my friends, three of the better members of the Weasley clan. Though I suppose for you that might be confusing as all the other members of the Weasleys are better than you" Everyone oohed and started chuckling, Fred and George even had to cover each other's mouths to stop the other from laughing, no one wanted to make too much noise as they just wanted to watch.
"Don't worry Ron, being the first Weasley not to do or be anything important is still an accomplishment, not one that you'd want as it alerts people to your shortcomings, but then again you have so many anyway that it would be impossible not to notice"
"SHUT UP POTTER!" Ron roared, Harry knew he had hit a soft spot, and frankly as long as Ginny didn't care then neither did he, he took a quick glance at Ginny and realised she was still trying not to cover her smile. Ron however took his misunderstood his moment of looking away as fear, like an idiot. "You don't talk to me like that!"
"Or what?" Harry raised his eyebrow "are you going to get one of your brothers to do something, maybe if you're really desperate then Ginny will help you or perhaps you'd rather be known as the Weasley who lost more fights than the others?" Ron clenched his fist and threw a punch at Harry.
Soon Professor McGonagall found herself lead to the Hospital wing by the twins, Ron was laid unconscious on one of the beds with another missing tooth, this time his other eye was the black one, he had a cut above his forehead that was shaped suspiciously like a lightning bolt and a bruise on his right cheek.
"Harry?" She asked
"Harry" They nodded
"The letters have already been sent to mum" George explained
"Harry and Ginny wanted us to let you know that they're having a walk" Fred added
"Probably to relieve themselves of the tension"
"They said they'll meet you up later today after their last lesson of the day"
"Thank you" McGonagall thanked the boys before walking off
As expected Ron was back on his feet the next day thanks to the miracle that was Madam Pomfrey and he was given a week of detentions to serve alongside Hermione with Filch. The two were moping the floors at night whilst Filch and his cat Mrs Norris watched them.
"Great" Ron grumbled "I have to come and clean the bloody halls all because of stupid Potter"
"Oi" Filch yelled "I had better not here any of you ungrateful brats insulting Potter" Filch would admit he hated pretty much everyone at Hogwarts but Potter was the one exception, the boy treated him with respect and did his best never to make a mess for Filch to clean up. And when he did he'd do it himself, the boy made Filch's job a lot easier. The fact that he also brought cat treats for Mrs Norris helped in his opinion.
