"Morning beautiful ladies," Harry said smoothly, standing behind his sisters at breakfast the next morning.

Bayonetta and Addison both giggled.

"Morning Harry," they greeted him.

"Why are you at the Gryffindor table, Potter?" Ginny demanded from Addison's other side.

"I'm at perfect liberty to eat breakfast where I like, Weasley. Besides, don't you think you're being a bit rude? I say good morning to you and you didn't even say it back before the interrogation started!" Harry told her calmly.

"You did not say good morning to me!" Ginny argued.

"I said 'morning beautiful ladies'. That encompasses you," Harry said, not looking up at her but rather busying himself buttering a slice of toast.

Ginny's mouth fell open, speechless.

Addison and Bayonetta exchanged a knowing look with each other.

"Ooooh…" Bayonetta whispered excitedly.

Professor McGonagall appeared behind them, her hands full of timetables.

"Mr Potter!" she said, surprised. "What are you doing here?"

He grinned at her charmingly.

"Just saying hello to my girls," he told her.

McGonagall looked between the two first year girls and Harry.

"Ah yes," she said. "Your fathers were inseparable at Hogwarts too… them and Mr Pettigrew. Well Potter, I daresay you best get back to the Slytherin table so that you can get your timetable from Professor Snape."

Harry nodded.

"Of course," he agreed. "Bye girls!"

He and his toast disappeared. McGonagall handed the girls their timetables and continued down the table.

"Harry likes you," Bayonetta told Ginny almost the moment that McGonagall was gone.

Ginny blushed.

"Don't be silly. Of course he doesn't."

"Yes he does! He was flirting! We've seen Draco do it before, haven't we, Addison?"

Addison nodded emphatically.

"Bay's right! He likes you!"

"Who likes Ginny?" Colin Creevey asked tiredly, sliding on to the bench opposite Ginny, Anastasia Pascal at his side.

"Harry!" Addison and Bayonetta said in unison.

"Who is Harry?" Anastasia asked.

"My god-brother," Addison told her.

"Harry Potter," Ginny said quietly.

"WHAT?" Anastasia and Colin asked together, looks of shock and mild disgust on each of their faces.

"Harry Potter fancies you?" Anastasia repeated.

"No no! He doesn't!" Ginny denied. "These girls just have it in their heads that he does."

"Well that's a relief if he doesn't," Anastasia said, and Colin nodded.

Addison turned to Bayonetta to whisper in her ear.

"Two sickles that he asks her out by the end of the week?"

"You're on. He'll wait at least a few weeks..."


A/N:

I know Harry is a bit different than we are used to him... but I think he wouldn't have turned out to be the exact same person if he had been raised by his parents... after all, James Potter was a bit arrogant at school, and I kind of picture Harry being more like him if he was brought up by him. I promise our good old Harry is in there somewhere though, and we will see him soon enough! :D Hope you liked it!
