Chapter 2

The rest of the school year went with Harry ignoring the Gryffindors and politely nodding to the Slytherins. The first time he nodded to Malfoy, the blond gaped at him until Harry smirked at him. He had scowled and strolled off away from Harry.

The next time Harry did it, he was surrounded by Gryffindors, and Malfoy nodded back before continuing his path down to Divination with a smug look on his face. This time, it was the Gryffindors turn to gape at Harry. The silence was so thick; you could slice through it with a cutting curse. Then, he was bombarded by questions by his fellow house mates.

"Harry! What the hell was that?"

"You're not best mates are you?"

"You're rivals! What common ground do you two have that we don't?"

"We can still hex the snakes right?"

"Have you called a truce?"

"SILENCE!" Harry roared. They quietened down almost immediately. He fixed them with a cold glare before speaking in an equally cold voice. "It is none of your business what is going on. You just carry on insulting the Slytherins like normal and you won't have to deal with the change. Merlin knows you Gryffindors are too incompetent to understand simple things so all I am going to say is leave me the fuck alone and we will not have any problems. Do not bother me, do not question me and no one will be hurt. Is that clear?"

No one answered and Harry was starting to get impatient. "IS THAT CLEAR?" he repeated, his anger showing. They all gulped and a chorus of 'yes Harry' emanated from them. He nodded his head, satisfied and walked off to his class. Wow, he thought, was I really like that before I opened my eyes?
