Navigating Slytherin Jealousy

"Oh hi Luna," Harry said when he along with Daphne and Tracy ran into Luna in a hallway. "how are you doing?"

"I am fine," Luna smiled dreamily before she reached a hand up and began scratching Harry behind the ear. "how are you kitty?" She asked.

"Little higher." Harry smiled and Luna obliged, causing his smile to widen. "Hmm...kitty is good." Harry hummed as a shiver went through his body.

"That's nice." Luna replied as she continued scratching him.

"She does know that he is not an actual kitty, right?" Tracy whispered to Daphne.

"I am not sure that he knows that he is not an actual kitty." Daphne whispered back just before Luna continued speaking.

"The nargles have been better behaved," Luna commented in an appreciative voice. "whatever spells you have put on my things have stopped them from wanting it I think, though it is a shame that it harms people when they try to touch it." She added, Harry frowned for a moment, not sure if that was an act or if she genuinely thought that but decided not to comment on it even though he did think that she was being genuine.

"Well...they will just have to learn." Tracy said eventually after exchanging a look with Daphne.

"I suppose," Luna shrugged "though it might take them some time, they are not very smart." Luna whispered the last part before she suddenly stopped and pulled out a small bracelet which she handed to Harry. The bracelet appeared to be made of rainbow coloured stones and a green string. "I was told that it was a common thing to give friends gifts so I made this for you." Luna explained.

"Well I love it Luna." Harry smiled and put it on without any hint of embarrassment. "Thanks, I suppose I should try and get you a gift before the next time we meet." Harry added with a thoughtful look on his face.

"That sounds nice," Luna said in her usual dreamy voice though her smile was slightly wider. "I have to go to classes now, bye-bye." She smiled, she did manage to pet Harry on the head before she left, the single Gryffindor and two Slytherin's watched as the young Ravenclaw happily skipped away, all that was missing was a Hufflepuff.

"Come on kitty." Daphne rolled her eyes at Harry.

"You know if you two ever wanted to pet or stroke me then I would be fine with it." Harry joked.

"You sure you wouldn't prefer if your girlfriends did that?" Tracy grinned at him.

"We have more fun things to do and the few times that they do stroke me it is not my head that they stroke."

"Well...he is right about that." A voice snorted just as the group had found a Hufflepuff.

"Hey Tonks." Harry turned around along with the girls and smiled at her, noticing that she was wearing her auror robes.

"Wotcher Harry." Tonks smiled and walked up to him before planting a quick but possessive kiss on his lips, just to mark her territory in case any of the Slytherin girls got any wrong ideas, Tonks already had to share with Fleur and that was her limit.

"Oh...so this is Miss Tonks?" Tracy said as Daphne raised an eyebrow at Tonks.

"Nah, just Tonks." Tonks smiled. "When you say 'Miss' it makes me feel old."

"You don't look it." Harry replied.

"Flatterer." Tonks rolled her eyes but still smiled.

"I am curious, what is your first name?" Daphne asked. "Harry refuses to tell us."

"You have just won major boyfriend points." Tonks mock whispered to Harry who happily grinned. "As for my name," Tonks said as she turned back to Daphne. "classified." She smirked.

"So I suppose that you are here working the case of Umbitch?" Harry asked.

"Yep," Tonks nodded, she either did not notice the way Harry referred to Umbridge or did not care, most likely the second one. "Bonesy saw your letter and..."

"I am sorry," Tracy interrupted with an apologetic look. "but 'Bonesy'?"

"Oh, it's just what I call my boss, Amelia Bones...Bonesy." Tonks shrugged before turning to Harry. "Anyway she saw your letter and sent me and a couple of aurors to arrest the pink toad, I am actually working now." Tonks admitted. "Speaking of, have any of you three seen Umbitch...I mean Umbridge?" Tonks corrected herself.

"Nope," Harry said, ignoring the obviously intentional slip-up. "She wasn't teaching her class today. Haven't seen her all day."

"Right well I have got to go and keep looking and confirm if she has done a runner or not, you know that because of you I have a lot of work now." She said with a mock glare at Harry. "And a lot of paper work."

"Aw you poor thing, how about I make it up to you later?" Harry offered with a charming smile.

"I will hold you to that Potter." Tonks smirked before she planted one more kiss on his lips before walking off.

"So that is 'Tonks'," Daphne said once Tonks was out of earshot. "you were right, she certainly is interesting."

"Yeah," Harry agreed. "she's a lot different from Fleur. Fleur is like perfection while Tonks is like uniqueness, you know what I mean?"

"We do understand, yes." Daphne nodded. "She doesn't seem to mind public displays of affection either, though I suppose that it is fine since you don't mind them as well."

"Who said I don't mind them?" Harry frowned.

"Are you saying you do?" Tracy looked at him with disbelief.

"Oh hell no, I love it, you just shouldn't assume."

"Well Umbitch," Harry said as he arrived in the chamber to find Umbridge still stuck on her chair, though the biggest difference from last time was the fact that she was covered in dry blood, Harry saw that she was missing her toenails and her right ankle looked broken, her face was bruised and her hair was sticky and appeared to have several insects in it. Another difference was the trolley next to her that was full on muggle DIY equipment and surgical tools. "how are we?" Harry asked.

"P...Potter..." Umbridge barely managed to gasp out.
