Gryffindor Gossip

"Whoa." Alicia Spinnet said the next day as she sat at the Gryffindor table at lunch.

"What is it?" Angelina asked as she looked up from her lunch.

"Look who just came in looking ten times better than usual." Alicia gestured to the entrance to the hall, Angelina looked to where she gestured and her eyes widened when she saw Harry.

Harry calmly walked in, this was his first appearance in public since the first task. Thanks to that plus the ritual that had fixed his eyes so he no longer needed glassed he was able to get a lot of attention, including some very flattering look from many girls.

"Hey girls," Harry grinned as he sat next to the two. "what's up?"

"Don't 'what's up' us, look at you." Angelina laughed. "I mean the new hair and no glasses, you look great."

"Oh stop it, I'll blush." Harry smirked, he looked down the table to see Katie Bell grin at him and give a thumbs up which he returned with a grin and a wink which caused her to smile before she began chatting with her friends.

"You look brilliant Harry." Alicia said. "Is this part of the 'new you'?"

"Yep," Harry nodded. "have you two heard about the ball yet?"

"Yep," Angelina nodded. "McGonagall made all of Gryffindor practise dancing this morning, we were thinking about going with Fred and George but we're both still mad at them."

"Your anger on my half is lovely," Harry smiled at the two. "I personally could think of better things to do than dance but as a champion I have to do the opening dance."

"Oh poor Harry, you'd rather take on another dragon wouldn't you?" Alicia joked.

"Actually no," Harry replied. "I did good against a dragon and ended up nearly killing it, imagine what would happen if I did great with a girl."

"Oh, hoping to get lucky?" Angelina raised an eyebrow.

"I wouldn't object if it happened." Harry replied with a smirk. "Any of you two interested?" Harry asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Down boy." Angelina said as Alicia lightly slapped him on the head. "Sorry Harry but I don't see you that way."

"Me either." Alicia replied. "You're like our younger brother."

"Hey incest is wincest." Harry joked, earning another slap, this time from Angelina.

"Look if you can't get a date and one of us can't then we'll ask you and go as friends." Angelina asked.

"Friends with benefits?" Harry asked hopefully, earing a slap from both girls this time. "Alright, alright, I was joking." Harry said as he rubbed his head. "That's what I get for messing with girls that are chasers, bloody brilliant arm strength." He said.

"We'll take that as a compliment." Angelina smirked.

"As well you should." Harry replied. "Oh wait entertainment." Harry said as he gestured to Ron who was walking towards Fleur Delacour.

"Oh this'll be something." Alicia said as nearly everyone in the hall looked in the same direction.

"Uh...hi..." Ron said to Fleur, when she looked up from her breakfast he suddenly found it even harder to speak. "Um...I..."

"Yes?" She asked in a bored and irritated tone as she looked at the drooling boy in front of her.

"I...just...you know...the dance...dance...bodies...your body...nice...dancing...with music...and food...music...dancing..."

"What?" She asked, wondering if he had been affected by something beyond her allure.

"I just..." Ron turned, ready to leg it but stopped when he saw Harry standing in front of him. "What are you doing here?!" Ron demanded.

"I do go school here you know." Harry said as he walked past Ron and stopped in front of Fleur. "Hello Miss Delacour, I hope I am not interrupting you." Harry said as he gave her a small bow.

"No, no you are not." She smiled at him, she looked at him and saw him smile back at her.

At first she had dismissed him as just a little boy, trying to hold on to his fame. But after the first task she was proven wrong, not only did he cause the most damage to his dragon, which happened to be the most dangerous of all four dragons, despite being the youngest but he also performed such a powerful display of magic. She could practically feel the power coming from him then.

He then dealt with the bushy haired girl and this red haired moron in such an easy manner. It was Veela instinct to always go for the strongest male available, she knew it was very unlikely for her to end up marrying this boy but it was still good for her Veela side to approve of him.

Plus the fact that he could clearly resit her allure unlike most of the school made him incredibly desirable along with the fact that he was looking incredibly attractive with his messy short hair and bright green eyes, his attractiveness had increased now that he no longer wore those glasses and now she was able to take a better look at those gorgeous green emerald gems that he called eyes. She was pretty sure that they came with their own allure as she found it hard to focus on anything but.

"How wonderful, I am sure that you have heard of the upcoming yule ball?" Harry said, waiting for her response.

"I am." She nodded, pleased with where this seemed to be going.

"Do you have a date yet?" Harry asked.

"I do not." She replied.

"In that case I would like to ask you if you are willing to attend the ball with me? I am sure that you'll agree with me when I say it would do wonder for school relationships." He said, giving her a charming smile that would not be out of place on the face of James Potter.

"Well...I must accept...for school relationships." She said with a smile. She had to accept, for the school obviously.

"Wait hang on! I was going to ask her!" Ron objected.

"Yes but by the time you would have finished asking her the ball would have finished, besides I doubt that the lovely Miss Delacour would be happy dancing in close proximity with a stuttering baboon whose breath smells like slugs." Harry replied, earning giggles from Fleur.

"Oui, that is true." She said as she stood up. "Perhaps, Mr Potter, we can go discuss our date in private." Fleur suggested.

"It would be my genuine pleasure." Harry smiled, he would have offered her an arm but she was on the opposite side of the table and neither of them were going to climb over the table. She began walking with Harry walking after her, Harry sent a wink to the chasers before he followed Fleur out of the hall.

"Damn," Angelina said. "we said no so he goes after a Veela instead."

"Just like him," Alicia shook her head as she spoke in a fond voice. "always above and beyond people expectations."
