Generally, I am a Harry/Ginny shipper. I prefer to stick to Cannon pairings. However this is not a Harry/Ginny fic. *gasps* Harry is a spoiled prat for a while in this story, and I don't feel that the Harry/Ginny pairing works. This is Harry/Daphne Greengrass. Please read and review. :D
"Hey Dudley?"
"What Harry?" answered Dudley Dursley warily,
"Shut up." The boy sing-songed, Dudley rolled his eyes, choosing to ignore his irritating cousin,
"Hey Dudley?" Harry asked again, Dudley looked pointedly in the opposite direction. "Dudley?" The seven-year old boy repeated, "Dudley, Dudley, Dudley, Dudley, Dudley, Du-"
"What!" Bellowed the infuriated cousin, Harry grinned a wide, gap toothed smile,
"Shut up." He chirped. Dudley banged his head against the car window. Mrs Dursley turned around,
"Don't make me come back there!" She berated, Mr Dursley merely shook his head, keeping his eyes on the road. Finally the car pulled up outside the school, the car door swung open.
"Bye boys! Have fun!" Called Petunia Dursley, the two boys set off towards the school gate, hardly sparing Mrs Dursley a second glance, the woman sighed, placing a hand on her heart as she did so,
"They grow up so fast, don't they Vernon?" The woman said, Vernon Durlsey grunted in affirmative,
"Little tykes..." He said, before the doting Parents drove off.
"Dudley?" Asked Harry,
"shut up." Said Dudley, Harry opened and closed his mouth several times,
"That's my line!" He finally cried indignantly, Dudley snickered in response,
"look, it's Piers! Oiy, Piers!" Yelled Dudley, after spotting his friends, the scrawny boy ran over to them.
"Hey Dudley, Harry." The rat like boy said, beady eyes flickering around, "what are we doing today?" Harry and Dudley glanced at each other and shrugged, suddenly, Harry grinned, leapt forward and hit Piers on the arm,
"Tag, you're it!" He yelled, before sprinting off, Dudley close behind him. Piers yelled out in frustration before running after them. The boys ran around the playground happily, many more children joining the game, until the bell rang, signalling the start of class.
The children filed in, Harry and Dudley taking their usual spaces at the back of the classroom, on the front row, sat a small, round boy with wide brown eyes. As the class settled down, Harry, Dursley and their friends pulled out their Spit Ball straws, laughing quietly. Harry and Dudley began to whisper a chant, and slowly, the rest of their friends joined in,
"Neville Longbottom
Smells really rotten
and he belongs in a zoo
His grandmother's fat
He looks like a rat
And he's too dumb for Year 2"
As the rhyme came to a close, the boy in question was pelted with spit-balls. Neville Longbottom blinked back tears, silently wishing that the teacher would do something. She didn't.
The class finally ended, and the boy dashed outside, hearing Harry and Dursley jeering at his fast retreating back, their cronies tittering behind them. It wasn't long before they gave chase after the round boy, it didn't take them long to catch him.
Augusta Longbottom picked up her grandson after school, the boy had a black eye and a split lip, "Fighting again?" She asked disapprovingly. Neville didn't respond, eyes burning with unshed tears as she drove him home.
Hope you liked, please review. What house do you want Harry to be in, and who do you think he should be friends with? All houses welcome, bar Gryffindor. I was thinking of Harry having a group a bit like the marauders, so, who do you think he should be friends with?
:D
