Chapter #2: The three idiots.

“Way to go, Harry…What a fucking genius you are, revealing your deepest secret and your plans to the girl you like, now you’re going to be constantly watched and she’s going to think you’re insane!” Harry scolded himself.

Harry looked at the bushy-haired witch with a concerned expression, he was expecting her to explode at him and call him a creep or to call Dumbledore and tell him about his ideas.

“You know…That would be great, you know? If muggles and magicals got along, I’m sure both of them could create amazing things!” Hermione said with a shy smile.

Harry’s eyes widened, he didn’t want to believe that what he heard was real, but if he heard correctly, it sounded like Hermione wasn't weirded out about his ideas.

“Wait…You don't think I’m creepy or scary?” He asked her with a curious look.

Hermione remained in silence for a few moments, she hid her face and then looked at him with a blush on her face.

“Please don’t hate me, but…I saw you once getting close to the forbidden forest, please don’t think bad of me, I was worried something could happen to you, and then, I saw you feeding the unicorns,” she confessed with a shy expression.

Now it was time for him to blush, that’s something he had been doing since his first year, for some reason, unicorns were interested in him.

“Oh…Fuck,” he said, completely embarrassed.

Hermione would’ve scolded him for his language a different time, but now, she just giggled, and he joined her after a few seconds of deep thought.

“Yes, it’s true…For some reason, the unicorns like me,” he told her without looking at her face due to the embarrassment.

“It’s because they think you’re pure of heart and you mean no harm to them, I’ve read a lot about them if you wish…One day, I can tell you everything I know about them and—” She was suddenly stopped by Harry.

“Is that a date invitation, Miss Granger?” Harry questioned her with an amused look.

He wanted to ease the tension and make her feel more comfortable, he was expecting her to look at him with an annoyed expression, but instead, she gave him a furious nod.

“I know someone like me shouldn’t even think about dating someone like you, but—” she couldn’t finish as Harry suddenly moved towards her.

“Yes…Let’s do that, I would love to spend more time with you, a date sounds great, Hermione,” Harry’s tone was serious.

There was nothing that could imply he wanted to play with her, never in her life had she seen someone as serious as he was right now, it's always a risk to expose your feelings to another person, but Hermione decided to give it a chance, so, in the end, she nodded.

“I can’t wait for it…Maybe I can join you at your table during our meals? It’s only forbidden during great announcements, but any other day you can sit at another house’s table…” She was a bit shy, but Harry found her to be cute.

“There’s nothing I would like more than that, Hermione, seriously,” he nodded at her.

And she nodded back happily, the grin on her face was something Harry never wanted to forget, that was a smile he wanted to keep on her face, considering the current political climate, the danger in which muggle-borns were in just because they existed was a real reason for her to be constantly worried, if he could ease those worries from time to time it would be great.

“I would love to speak with you more, Harry, but…” She said with a weak smile.

“You have to see Neville, right? Go ahead, he needs you,” he grabbed her hands before he encouraged her to see her friend.

She didn’t know she managed to get away, but as she slowly left this part of the castle, she couldn’t help but constantly look back at the emerald-eyed wizard, it took her some time, but after some minutes, she was finally gone.

“Well, well, Potter…I thought you were scum, but now I see that you can do even worse, seriously, Granger?” Asked a blonde wizard with a smug expression.

He was accompanied by two dumb wizards, Crabbe and Goyle, and they were smirking at him as if they were planning to do something fun.

“Yeah, Malfoy, I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to tell your mother that I’m changing her for something better,” Harry told them with a smug expression.

This caused Malfoy to become angry, and now they had their wands out, they thought he was going to do the same, but in fact, years of this experience have taught him something, Snape is always around when these three stooges appear in front of him.

Somehow, he’s not around when they’re about to attack, but he magically appears when Harry’s about to defend himself, well, that ends now, either they act on their words and they get punished, or he exposes them as nothing but cowards, even though they outnumber him, there is no in between.

“Don’t you dare to speak of my mother like that again, Potter!” Malfoy sneered angrily.

“What? It’s not my fault that your father can’t give her what she wants, you can’t blame her for looking for a real man like me!” Harry mocked him again.

Draco was completely enraged right now, he wanted to hurt Potter in a way he had never wanted before, however, he couldn’t do anything yet, he was a Slytherin, and he was cunning, he needed to be patient before his godfather appeared and saved the day, Potter needed to get his wand out.

That was the deal he had with his godfather, every time he decided to face Potter, he needed to wait until Potter gets his wand out, and then, Snape would appear and punish the other wizard, it’s perfect, it always works, but not today, somehow Potter has gotten ahead of himself after he gave that speech in the great hall.

Someone like him is nothing but a background character, he’s the heir of a ruined house, and all the important families know that there’s nothing left of the great wealth the Potters used to have, making his title as Lord Potter nothing but a courtesy that holds no power.

“So…Are you three planning to attack or not? I’m getting tired of this,” Harry said before yawning.

The three idiots were looking at him with confused expressions, things weren’t supposed to happen in this way, Potter is never calm.

“What? Are you waiting for your boyfriend Snape to come and help you get me in trouble? Come on Snape, I know you’re hiding somewhere!” Harry spat angrily.

He waited for a few moments, and nothing happened.

“Just as I expected, just like your students and the rest of your house, nothing but a bunch of cowards, all of you support a maniac when the true reality is that we as magical people must be united to reclaim what’s ours…The muggles are out there making amazing things while we’re hiding like cowards in this boring, stagnant world!” Harry said with an angry tone.

He decided that they weren’t worth his time, so, he slowly walked off, but not before spitting close to their feet, showing his true feelings about the house of the snakes, and then, coming out of the shadows, there it was, Snape.

“What was that?” Snape asked with a confused expression.

No one had any idea of why Potter acted like that, he either consumed something or was going insane.
