It was just another seemingly normal day for Harry. He was walking along with Ron and Hermione to Transfiguration, as Ron and Hermione talked while Harry just thought to himself quietly. He was just thinking that he hadn't had any arguments with Malfoy today and didn't think anything of it, maybe he would be left alone for today...
"Hey! Hey Potter! Turn around and face me like a man and not a poof!"
Harry closed his eyes and sighed, speak of the devil. "What do you want Malfoy?"
Malfoy scoffed and when Harry had turned around to face him, he gave Harry the signature sneer. "Well I was walking down the corridor happily until I saw your gayness walking this way."
Harry's anger flared and he snapped icily " So you're really that homphobic against gay people that you just pick a fight with them?"
Malfoy rolled his eyes and sneered back "I'm not homophobic, I just don't like you."
Harry's anger was nearly boiling over when he snarled "If you're not homophobic, then why argue with me?"
Malfoy rolled his eyes yet again "I thought I told you stupid, I. Don't. Like. You. Duh!"
And then Harry snapped. He didn't remember flying at him, he just remembered punching every inch of Malfoy that he could. He didn't register that everyone else could have been watching, it was only until Ron dragged him off Malfoy that he realised everyone was watching.
Malfoy - wincing slightly - stood up next to Pansy and Blaise while Harry stood with Ron and Hermione.
Harry straightened his robes before saying curtly "I'm walking away Malfoy, next time, I won't."
Malfoy merely stood there watching him, so Harry turned around and walked away. It wasn't until he head running feet and felt someone jump onto his back causing him to fall to the ground did he realise that Malfoy wasn't letting him go so easily.
So he did what he thought best, fight back.
It wasn't until McGonagall blasted them apart with a spell and snarled furiously at them both to see Dumbledore did they both think "shit!".
