Damaged Raven

chapter 23

"You said 'all Ravenclaw third year boys with girlfriends, raise their hands'" Harry reminded him "I have a girlfriend so I raised my hand"

Michael's jaw dropped, as did Terry and Anthony's, in fact the entire common room had turned to look at Harry with disbelief, not that Harry had noticed since he had returned to do doing his homework.

"You have a girlfriend?!" Several voices blurted out

"You know" Harry said to Delphi "sometimes I doubt that I'm in the house of the intelligent"

"You two are together?" Lisa Turpin asked as she gestured to between Delphi and Harry

"No" Delphi smiled and shook her head "he's like my brother, besides I've met his girlfriend. She's really nice"

"How on Earth did you get a girlfriend?!" Michael couldn't help but say what everyone was thinking

"I looked her in the eyes, kissed her on the lips then I asked her" Harry said in a casual way "it wasn't that hard"

"Who?" Padma Patil asked

"My girlfriend, who else would I kiss?" Harry frowned

"No, I mean who is your girlfriend?"

"Now I could tell you" Harry adopted a thoughtful look "that would make things simpler...on the other hand...nah"

"Oh come on!" One Ravenclaw gossiper begged

"Nope" Harry replied, popping the 'p'

"But why on earth would anyone want to be your girlfriend?!" Corner couldn't help but say out loud

"Michael!" Several girls hissed

"Apparently because I'm good looking" Harry shrugged, not quite understanding it either.

"You?!" Corner couldn't help but say out loud

"Well..." Lisa Turpin coughed "I...can sort of see it"

"What?!" All heads snapped towards her

"What?! I'm not the only one!"

"True" Padma agreed

"What's good looking about him?!" Corner gestured towards Harry

"He's got nice messy hair" Morag McDougal said

"His scars sort of add character" A fourth year added

"He has nice eyes" Lisa said "he also pulls off 'smart' and 'bad boy' better than the rest of you"

"Damn right" Harry said as while he was still doing his homework

"See" Lisa gestured to Harry

"Done" Harry smirked as he sat back and stretched

"I can't believe it" Corner muttered

"Not a good day for you is it?" Harry said to Corner "You got rejected and discovered that a guy with a burnt face is better looking than you. I just want to say...ha" Harry laughed and picked up his work before leaving

"Quick, he's gone" Terry Boot said to Delphi "who is his girlfriend?"

"Oh no, I am not telling" Delphi said as she picked up her stuff "I am not having Harry burn my hair just because you prats need to gossip. All I'm going to say is she is nice, rich and ridiculously good looking." Delphi smirked at them "plus when you boys see her, I promise you'll be jealous of Harry" Delphi smirked and walked off

Harry was walking through the hallways when his ears picked up an unusual sound, he slowly made his way towards it. It was in an abandoned classroom, Harry slowly opened the door and stepped inside when he discovered the source of the noise.
