Unanswered Questions

Harry said the password and entered the common room, he found the girls sitting in a corner and sat next to them.

"How was your meeting?" Daphne asked

"Alright, Dumbledore annoyed me and so ddi my brother who tried to attack me" Harry said casually

"What?!" Tracy shouted

"Yeah, I annoyed him enough for him to try and throw a punch at me, right in the headmasters office"

"Bloody lion" Daphne sighed "what happened?"

"I tripped him up and he fell on his face" Harry yawned "then Snape took away points from him and gave him a detention before I left. What about you guys? Anything interesting happened while I was gone"

"Just Malfoy being an idiot" Tracy waved a hand

"What's he been doing this time?" Harry sighed

"He keeps bothering Daphne" Tracy replied

"It's fine" Daphne said "I can handle Malfoy"

"Fine" Harry nodded "but the second he gets too much then say the word and I'll help" Daphne smiled, most boys would have gone off on some rampage, it's nice to have someone who could believe that she could take care of herself.

"Greengrass" A familiar voice drawled

"Malfoy" She spat

"Come now, is that anyway to talk to your future husband"

"I'm not marrying you"

"Of course you are" He laughed "like you could do any better than me"

"I don't know about that" Harry spoke "I've heard that the giant squid in the lake is single again" Daphne smiled at Harry's comment while Tracy started laughing, Malfoy glared at him.

"Nobody was talking to you, Potter"

"The girls were" Harry pointed out "before you came and disrupted our conversation like an attention seeking child"

"Stop insulting me, you're not half as smart as you think you are, Potter"

"Maybe but if that was true then I'm still twice as smart as you are on your best day. Now, if you don't mind, I was having a lovely conversation with two lovely ladies before you interrupted. Off you go Malfoy"

"You can't dismiss me like I'm some kind of house elf!"

"Fine" Harry sighed "I'll dismiss you like some kind of dog instead, it's more accurate I suppose, now shoo. Off you go, shoo, go away" Daphne had placed a hand over her mouth while Tracy was trying to supress her laughter

"This isn't over, Potter" Draco spat

"Of course it isn't, we're living in the same dorm for the next seven years you imbecile" Harry pointed out "human years by the way Draco, not dog years" Harry added, Draco growled before turning on his feet and storming off.

"Harry" Daphne smiled at him "you do realise that now me and Tracy are definitely not letting you go"

"Yeah" Tracy nodded "you're like our very own anti-Malfoy spell"

"Well, I am quite magical" Harry said as he pretended to wipe dust off his shoulders "but if we're being honest, I do it just as much for my own entertainment as I do it for yours"

"Our hero" Tracy grinned

"Nah" Harry shook his head "I'm not a hero"

Harry and Daphne and Tracy had just left defence against the dark arts, a stupid class in Harry's opinion, not because of the subject but more because of the teacher. Professor Quirrell couldn't really do more than stutter and teach theory, but something felt off about him.

The first question that came to Harry's mind is why he kept stuttering? There were potions that could cure that, stuttering may be an annoyance to muggles but it could mean death for wizards as it could ruin their ability to use spells and could cause injury or death in a duel.

The second was the story about how he was attacked by a vampire, if that was true then how did he survive? Vampires can be dangerous and if Quirrell was half as pathetic as he acts then no way in hell would he be able to survive a singular vampire attacking him. There was also something about Quirrell that felt wrong, all of Harry's instincts were telling him to neutralise him.

That brought Harry to another question, why did Dumbledore hire him? Surely he could have gotten a former auror to teach, but instead he chooses the former muggle studies teacher with a stutter and fear of everyone and everything.
