NOVEL WEB Chapter 40: Pact
Cho was looking at the couple while casually eating. She'd thought for a while and realised Harry was probably the best bet for her. All of her previous boyfriends weren't rich or romantic enough for her, they figured they could get some snogging if they just brought her some roses and chocolates.
That wasn't enough for her, she needed someone capable of worshipping her, she needed to feel like a princess. Harry was perfect, he was rich, handsome, famous, powerful and he everyone knew how he worshipped his current girlfriend.
Fortunately for her Weasley wasn't anything special, she had second hand things and Cho was much better looking. She was also older, something she knew Harry would appreciate, all she had to do is bat her eyes and occasionally touch his arm. Soon he'd have doubts about Weasley, then she'd capitalise and be the new queen of Hogwarts.
Corner was looking at Ginny and Potter, sure Potter was powerful, even an idiot could see that but that's the only way he was better. Sure he was richer but that doesn't mean Corner was poor, he was good looking but so was he. Yet all the girls fawned over him, none of them would give the other boys any time because they were too busy hoping Potter would notice them.
Perhaps he could help those girls by relieving Potter of his girlfriend, it'd be good for Potter to branch out. Famous people have multiple girlfriends, or so he's told. Besides, Weasley wasn't that bad to look at, if Potter got angry then she'd probably be able to hold him back and Micheal would be known as the boy who someone had dumped Potter for.
Cho had eventually got back to eating when she noticed that it was nearly time to leave was so focused she didn't see Harry had snuck a look at her, Harry had noticed she was looking at him. Despite only socialising when he has to, Harry had heard rumours about Cho, apparently none of the other girls liked her apart one or two but the boys loved her.
Not like Harry cared but he always took notes of potential threats, whether it's spells that can be used against him, boys looking at Ginny or girls that took an interest in him. Harry wasn't one for rumours but he valued loyalty a lot, he'd give Cho a chance but he'd get rid of her as fast as he could if she made Ginny doubt his loyalty.
"Gin" Harry whispered "did you notice Cho looking at me?"
"Yeah" Ginny whispered back "I'm glad you're not as thick as most boys, they'd either miss it or turn into drooling messes" Harry had to hold back a laugh
"I don't normally care for rumours but you know about the rumours surrounding her"
"You mean how she's high maintenance and when she has someone in her sight than she'll likely end up snogging him all over school"
"Correct, ten points to Gryffindor" Harry joked, the student body than became very curious when ten points were added to Gryffindor's total. "Oops, ten points from Gryffindor"
Harry figured out early that as the heir to Hogwarts he could do things that other students could, including apparate, get into rooms without passwords and give or take away points. He kept these secrets to himself, and never used them, it's not like he needed them with the amount of points he got anyway.
"I just wanted to let you know that 'if' she approaches then I'll give her a chance and if she tries anything I promise I'll…"
"I know Harry" Ginny interrupted "you don't want to judge her like how everyone judges you but you're worried that she'll try something and I'll end up thinking you've cheated on me or something. Don't worry Harry, even if I found you two kissing I know you wouldn't do anything to betray so I'd hear you out before coming to a conclusion. Don't get me wrong, I'd hex her but I'd hear you out at least, and we both know that I'm the only person who knows when you lie"
"Thanks Gin" Harry smiled "you know how important trust is to me and I'd never betray yours"
"Thanks Harry, the same for me" Ginny replied "I'd better tell you know, I've noticed Michael Corner looking at me"
"I know" Harry sighed "I can't blame him you look brilliant"
"Thank you sweetie" Ginny kissed him on his right cheek "here's hoping he stays away, from what i understand Sirius, the twins and the entire quidditch team are now keeping everyone away"
"That is nice" Harry chuckled, he was quite glad that those he considered family would do this for him.
"Yeah and if that doesn't work then you show off a little bit and scare him off"
"Yes dear" Harry kissed her on her cheek, causing two particular Ravenclaws to start plotting.
