Not alone

~ part three

The next morning found Harry alone at the slytherin table. He'd successfully managed to do what he set out to do. The problem was he'd not slept and was questioned by his house as to why he'd not been in his bed. He knew most of them didn't care, they were death eater spawn. The only two that he knew cared for him (besides his gryffindore friends) were Blaise Zabini and Millicent Bulstrode. They're the only slytherin's to make friends with his gryffindore friends. Harry stared at the gryffindore table, not realising Blaise and Millicent snickering. When he turned around and saw them staring at him he blushed like a tomato. He didn't say anything but he knew he'd have the mick taken out of him later.

He turned to the gryffindore table as saw ginny staring at him a though converting a message to his brain. He didn't quite understand but he didn't have to as she walked over. She received many confused glances but she ignored them. She walked over to Harry and nodded "thanks potter I owe you one."

"What did I do?"

"Let's say I have prongs son to thank for taking care of some people you wouldn't know anything about that would you?." Harry smiled "not at all weasley just remember to watch your back some attacks can be urm... brutal. Just don't bleed" ginny looked at him confused and twitched her eye then scowled. She lent forward "this doesn't make us friends you know but I guess I will refrain from killing you..." Harry laughed. Suddenly her eyes turned cold "don't rise to the bait potter, it's what they want," and with that she walked off.

Harry didn't have chance to wonder what she meant as he was on his feet in under a second. Malfoy had walked up to ginny and slapped her leaving everyone shocked. Harry walked up to Malfoy "what's your problem?"

"You, you potter"

"Well you know what If I'm your problem fight me and leave everyone else out of it." Malfoy pondered this got a second before hitting and missing Harry.

He'd dodged out the way "oh just join our side potter!"
