Marital Machinations

Harry and Ginny made their way to the prefects compartment, inside they saw that Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil were the Ravenclaw prefects, Hufflepuff had chosen Hannah Abbot and Ernie Macmillan. They were surprised to see that the Slytherin prefects were Draco and Pansy but they hid it well.

'No way Snape would've chosen them' Harry mentally called to Ginny

'Probably the ministries doing'

'No doubt, wonder how many galleons Lucius got set back.'

'Quite a few I'd imagine, it's a shame, I was hoping Daphne was here'

'You and me both. I would've enjoyed conversing with a Slytherin who can do more than say their house name and whine when things go wrong. Come on, when they try to get a reaction act calm and don't get emotional'

'Got it, a target that doesn't get angry isn't a fun target.'

'Preciously' Harry and Ginny sat down, Malfoy and Pansy looked towards them.

"Well look" Malfoy drawled "if it isn't Potty and the Weaslet"

"Actually" Ginny smiled "it's Potter and Potter to you"

"What does that mean?" Pansy demanded

"This" Ginny showed Pansy her ring "I became Mrs Potter last year" Pansy's disappointed look was not missed by anyone

"Whatever" Draco shrugged "tell me Potter, when you could've had any girl you wanted, so why did you decide to have one that was born in a gutter? I mean her bloods pure but other than that she doesn't have much going for her" Everyone looked at Harry and waited for a reaction, to the outside observer he was quite calm looking. Ginny however could see the images in his head, there were several but they all ended with Draco getting killed

"Well Malfoy" Harry calmly responded "firstly I'd say because she's good looking, you can't argue that as I saw you looking at her at the Yule ball" Malfoy paled slightly when Pansy turned on him

"He what?!" She shrieked "I was his date but he was looking at her!" Malfoy was about to point out how she was looking at Potter but then Potter, the male one, decided to continue talking.

"As for her blood I don't really give a damn if she's a pureblood or not, and in response to your gutter comment, I'd like to remind you that I'm heir to the Potter and Black family. That means I could buy you and your father twenty times over and then still be able to buy your mother for a night" Everyone's jaw dropped.

"Though I wouldn't do that, partly because I'm married to Ginny and feel sorry for your mother for being related to you and your father, poor woman, but mostly because buying you two would be a great waste of money. In my personal opinion I think you're both overpriced, but my point is that as my wife, Ginny could do the same. So to summarise Ginny is a talented, good looking, rich witch who is kind enough to grant you the privilege of breathing the same air as her. Whilst I am a rage machine who has nearly killed you twice before, I'd advise thinking carefully about who you chose to make enemies with Draco. You may have a lot of money and a good name but I'd like to remind you that don't stop curses or fists…just saying" Harry shrugged

The whole compartment was in silence, Draco didn't respond, he couldn't respond. The other prefects were halfway between shock and laughing, Ginny was closer to laughing. Harry looked at Malfoy with an amused expression.

"Harry" Pansy spoke "you know I come from a very respectful family" Everyone raised an eyebrow "we're very rich, richer than the Weasleys at least, you know I'd make a better wife than her"

"While I appreciate the offer" Ginny could sense immense discomfort coming from him "I vowed to love Ginny and only Ginny so I don't think I could accept your offer, Draco might, lord knows he needs a good snog. I'm sorry Crabbe dumped you by the way"

"What?!" Malfoy shouted "he never dumped me"

"You dumped him?" Harry asked curiously

"No I didn't dump him!"

"So you're still dating?" Harry asked, everyone else was trying their best not to laugh "well as fun as our love lives are, I would rather start this meeting so me and my wife could go back to our compartment and enjoy a nice snog" Harry leaned closer to Draco

"I'm sure Crabbe would do the same for you if you asked nicely" He whispered, just loud enough for everyone to hear. He gave Malfoy a wink, and turned to face Ginny who had actually clasped a hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing.
