Chapter 20 -

Text(Great Hall)

Harry Potter was living the dream as January came to an end. One would think that being sorted into Slytherin would be a nightmare for the Boy Who lived, but Harry walked into the dorm with confidence and bravado that wouldn't look place in the dorm of their fiercest rival Gryffindor and within a half a year he'd was the undisputed leader of the First Year Snakes and arguably one of the most influential figures in the dorm.

Every morning he woke up and, if he wanted to, could walk down to the common room and have some fun with the girls in his year. Before the break, that meant he'd have a cute girl waiting for him on the couch. Now that meant he would be brought to their room, and he wouldn't leave until he dumped at least one load in their pussies.

It was the Carrow twins who took the first plunge during their second week back and while he was confused when they brought him over to the girl's section of the dorms, he wasn't going to say no and when they asked him to extend the silencing charms to the room to their left, he was intrigued. The dirty glare from Pansy he got during breakfast told him all he needed to know about why they had done that. Ironically, Pansy never turned them in. He would learn during his second romp with the twins that the night before their first attempt, Pansy snuck Draco into the dorm for fun and the Carrows couldn't sleep because of her fake moans of pleasure.

The girls were talented at a lot of things, but charms were not one of them and it drove them nuts, so they decided to get payback. The tacit approval of the Carrows actions caused Julie and Lilith to join in on the fun and now the only morning he wasn't having sex with somebody was Saturday which was when he had breakfast with Megan and Hannah.

"So Harry. What are you going to do about Valentines Day." Blaise Zabini smirked as the duo spoke while Harry relaxed on his favorite couch in the common room

"Good question." Harry shrugged. Valentine's Day wasn't something he thought about much but with the number of witches he was with, he didn't know what to do.

"It's funny, this is the first time since I met you that I actually pity you" Blaise teased. Harry would have to come up with something for all the girls and leaving even one out could be a headache

 "The fact it took this long is pretty impressive" Harry shrugged.. He knew that his fun would eventually bite him in the rear but the fact it took this long wasn't a big deal.

"And you have a plan don't you." Blaise smirked.

"Yep." Harry replied nonchalantly.

"Is there anything you haven't planned for." Blaise snorted.

"Admittedly what happened at the party caught me off guard, but I got lucky. I may not get so lucky next time." Harry admitted. In one fell swoop he nearly lost two of his main girls and there was nothing he could do about it.

Blaise chuckled, "And now you have to use that luck to find a way to get something to keep all the girls you have without offending anybody" Blaise smirked..

"That's a problem most guys wouldn't mind at all." Harry said with a big grin on his face.

"You'd be amazed how boring most male wizards are." Blaise replied with an eye roll.

"You'd know better than me." Harry said cheekily.

"Prat." Blaise replied at to the cheap shot at Blaise's mother having 7 husbands with his father being the first of the group.

"Damn Right" Harry smiled enjoying the mini war of words. He'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy having all the girls he did, but having a friend like Blaise was a beautiful thing.

(Scene Skip)

Harry walked into the Prefect Bath ready to start his week and when he saw Tonks and Susan in bikini's he was immediately on guard. "Morning girls." Harry smiled before summoning his wand and quickly transfiguring his outfit into a pair of trunks.

"Morning Harry." The girls said back.

Harry knew the girls were planning something, but he needed to play along until he figured out what that was, "You girls look lovely as always."

"Thanks." Susan blushed with Tonks smiling.

"So. What's the big plan for Valentine's day." Tonks asked curiously.

"That's for me to know and you to find out." Harry teased back.

"I see. Can I get any hints." Tonks probed.

"No." Harry said quickly turning her down.

"Fine." Tonks pouted though in truth she'd be disappointed if Harry gave in so easily.

Harry knew something was wrong since Tonks was very much the teasing type and she wasn't the type to give up so easily, "So how's class." Harry asked curiously. Tonks was a seventh year and with N.E.W.T's coming up this was going to be tough.

"Good. There's way too much homework. If I didn't have an alarm set every morning I'd have probably slept through this meeting."

"Well I'm glad you made time for me in your busy schedule." Harry smiled.

Susan frowned, "What am I chopped liver."

"Not at all. Honestly seeing you is becoming one of the highlights of my week Susan." Harry said smoothly.

"Really" Susan blushed.

"Yep. I've known Tonks since I was a kid and meeting a girl like you who's so down to earth is awesome. Hell, Megan and Hannah are pretty cool also." Harry said bluntly focusing on the other two puffs who had recently become part of his life.

"What about them do you like." Tonks asked curiously.

Harry internally smirked because now he knew what was going on, "Megan's cousin is the captain of the Holyhead Harpies and yet she's incredibly cool about it. If anything, she hates it which I can appreciate."

Tonks smirked, "I call bull on that."

"No it's true. Do you have any idea how many letters I got from random people over the years while we were in hiding. My parents taught me to read and write by reviewing the letters I got from people and then sending responses." Harry groaned.

Susan was stunned, "You're joking"

"I wish. Imagine being 3-years-old and having your parents look at 100 letters sent to you when you've been in hiding for two years or being five years old and spending two full days replying to people who wished me well during my birthday. I got used to it but man it wasn't easy." Harry smiled.

"That would do it. When Gwen first started making a name for herself people would bother her constantly asking for autographs." Susan mused.

"I bet. I'm glad I'm getting to know her and Hannah too." Harry replied.

"What do you think about Hannah." Susan wondered.

"I know she probably wouldn't want me saying anything but between us she's a top tier beauty. She's going to make some guy very happy one day." Harry mused.

Tonks shook her head before waving her hand to dispel the Disillusionment charm hiding the girls who looked at Harry with big smiles and massive blushes on their faces, "Harry, the only guy I want to make happy some day is you." Hannah said as she sported a black one piece that showed off her curves quite nicely and revealed her High C cup breasts. While she was a bit curvier then Susan was, her breasts weren't far off her red-headed friend.

"Same here Harry. The fame is annoying, and I've met a lot of guys who just wanted one thing. I'm glad that you're not one of them." Megan smiled. Megan was in a black keyhole bikini suit that showed off part of her C cup breasts and let Harry see her very fit body. 

"I see." Harry smiled as the two girls walked into the bath.

Tonks and Susan moved away to allow Hannah and Megan to take their place. "So. You actually think I'm a top tier beauty." Hannah smiled as she sat next to him.

Harry smiled before wrapping his arm around her stomach having no shame in squeezing it affectionately, "I don't think so Hannah, I know so and it's a privilege to be chosen by somebody like you" Harry said firmly.

"So where do I rank on the Potter tier list." Tonks teased deciding to mess with him since he ruined their fun.

"You don't. You can change your appearance so it's cheating." Harry countered

'Prat." Tonks smirked and the girls all laughed at her.

"So. What about me Potter?" Megan wondered.

Harry chuckled, "Being an athletic girl you're a different kind of beauty from Susan. The suit works marvelous for you" Harry replied as his arm made his way to her stomach.

"Good to know. So when can I get in on these baths." Megan wondered.

"I want to join too. I don't want to be left out." Hannah said firmly.

Harry looked at Tonks and Susan who simply sighed, "Fine. You guys can join." Tonks said with a bit of annoyance. The girls caught them this morning otherwise right now she and Susan would be fucking Harry right now.

"Now that we've established that, let's enjoy this bath. It looks bloody amazing." Megan smiled.

"And it feels better now let's just enjoy ourselves." Harry smiled. He was slightly annoyed to not fuck Tonks or Susan but seeing Hannah and Megan was worth it.

(Scene Skip)

The interesting week continued as Harry walked into an empty classroom Tuesday morning and found Lavender sitting down with her usual papers and pads, but unlike their typical interviews, Lavender was in her uniform and Fay Parvati and Hermione came along, "I thought this was a private interview."

 "It normally is but thanks to a certain red headed idiot we have a few more people." Lavender pouted.

"Explain." Harry replied.

"We had a break after our last class, and he noticed that I wasn't headed towards the common room and asked what I was up to. Hermione interjected saying that they were going to study so Ron dismissed it. Hermione quietly asked what I was actually up to quietly and I told her I was going to do my weekly interview with you. Hermione asked to come along since she was curious about it and Fay and Parvati joined in." Lavender answered. Originally she used this time to fuck Harry but in case anybody asked questions they actually decided to start a Q&A column for Witch's Weekly where she'd ask questions from readers and then he'd answer them. They'd still fuck afterwards, but it at least made a proper excuse.

"I see." Harry smiled. The cover they used to prevent this type of thing was coming back to bite Lavender.

"I've read the Q&A's and they're quite fun. So what sort of reader questions do you have." Fay wondered.

Lavender frowned because this was going to be a steamy one and she would've really liked to be alone with Harry for it "Let's get started." Lavender replied as she revealed the questions list for this week. Since Valentine's day was soon it promised to be an interesting one. She looked over them and to the shock of the girls her eyes widened and as she continued she started to blush.

"Is everything okay Lavender." Fay asked with a wry smile.

"Yeah." Lavender stammered as she focused on Harry. "First question. Since Valentine's Day is coming up, what would Harry Potter's ideal girl be? Out of privacy, I won't say the submitters name." Lavender said but the idea that Astoria Greengrass submitted something was shocking considering she was the sister of his fiancée.

Harry smiled, "I don't actually have a type." Harry smiled.

"Bull" Fay said quickly.

"It's true. My cousin and somebody I've known since childhood is a Metamorphmagus and because of that I've gained an appreciation for all different types of girls." Harry replied.

Lavender smiled before writing it down making sure to not reference Tonks or her special gift, "Alright. Do you have a preference for older or younger girls and how young is too young." Lavender chuckled. This girl Romilda Vane was something else. If she remembered correctly there was a Ravenclaw in their year named Emma, maybe they were siblings.

Harry chuckled because this was a nasty question, "If they could've attended Hogwarts with me they have a fair shot." Harry replied calmly. Giving a limit younger would be rather unfair given his relationship with Tonks so this was the best way to answer it

"Alright." Lavender mused. It was a fair answer and most importantly one that didn't get him in trouble

Harry took a deep breath because this was getting tricky, "These are something else." Harry said unsure of what would happen next. Blaise chuckled about him being prepared all the time, but these questions would really get him in trouble if he wasn't careful

"Yep and now for the next one…well this should be fun. Have you heard of the Holyhead Harpies and if so, who's your favorite player." Lavender asked. The fact Gwenog Jones was asking was a surprise.

Harry smirked, "It would have to be Sasha Ekland. The striker who joined a few years ago." Harry smiled.

Lavender had to hold back a giggle, "Okay then."

"These are all wild questions." Fay said in disbelief.

"Yep but now I need a bit to think because the questions left are all things I'm afraid to ask." Lavender admitted.

"Why."

"See for yourself." Lavender frowned.

Hermione looked at the questions and her eyes widened, "How could somebody ask that."

Now Harry was curious, "What's the question."

"Harry that's enough." Lavender said firmly.

Harry rolled his eyes since Lavender typically didn't mind asking more interesting question, "Fine." Harry conceded.

Lavender wasn't happy but there wasn't much she could do, "Well the only questions left are things I can't and won't answer so I guess we're done." Lavender frowned.

Fay could see that it bothered Lavender and decided to offer a solution, "How about we ask Harry questions, and you can pretend they were submitted."

"Fine just keep it clean." Lavender frowned.

Fay smiled, "What do you think of athletic witches Harry." Fay wondered. Was it selfish? Yes? Did she care? No.

Harry smirked, "I think athletic witches are awesome. Truthfully I think that one of the dumbest things a lot of wizards do is not take care of your body." Harry answered.

"I see." Fay smiled.

"Real subtle Fay. Why don't you just strip for Harry now and see if he approves" Parvati said with an eye roll.

"Only if Harry wants me to." Fay replied quickly to Parvati's shock.

"I was kidding." Parvati gasped and Hermione was stunned.

 "I very much like the idea but there are two problems." Harry replied.

"What are those?" Fay wondered.

"First, I'm still in the middle of interviewing Lavender and since you got a question. It's only right that Parvati and Hermione get one too." Harry smiled.

"What's the second problem." Fay pouted.

Harry smirked, "I don't think I'll be okay with just a simple show." Harry said with a grin on his face.

The three girls besides Lavender blushed and of course Lavender was calm, "So Parvati, Hermione, which of you wants to go next."

"I will." Hermione said bashfully before deciding to ask a question, "You said before you didn't really have a type but surely there's something you don't like in a girl. If so what is it." Hermione asked timidly.

Harry smiled, "A snobbish attitude." Harry replied honestly.

Hermione blinked, "Huh."

"I told you guys before that I can appreciate a girl no matter what they look like. Hell, my belief is that for every girl out there, there's at least one guy who will look at them and think they're the most beautiful girl in the world. However, the one thing that nobody is willing to tolerate is a bad attitude."

"Really." Hermione wondered.

"Yep. When we first met on the train, Daphne told me that people used to call her an ice queen. It didn't take much to realize what they meant by that."

"Oh yeah. She was notoriously hard to approach for anybody and while she was pretty, she looked like she was more likely to hex you then kiss you." Lavender pointed out.

"Exactly. You can have the prettiest face in the world but if you have a bad attitude that all goes away."

"I see." Hermione contemplated.

"Yep. If we're being honest your attitude early on wasn't exactly the most pleasant thing either" Harry said calmly. He didn't spend much time with her but in class she was always trying to answer everything, and it drove quite a few people wild."

Hermione frowned, "Lavender told me as much after what happened on Halloween. I'm working on it now."

"I've noticed but that's my point. You could have a body like Lavender's but if you have a bad attitude nobody will like you." Harry said calmly/

"I see" Hermione said taking it into account.

"Now we save the best for last." Parvati replied with a smile.

"Go ahead." Harry said calmly.

Parvati took a deep breath, "If you had been put in Gryffindor instead of Slytherin, is there a chance that the four of us would be as close to you as Daphne Lyra and Tracey are."

"You realize I can't exactly put that in the paper." Lavender deadpanned.

"Sorry, I couldn't' resist." Parvati blushed.

"Whatever." Lavender chuckled.

Harry smirked because this was an interesting one, "I'm going to say no but not because I wouldn't like the idea, it's because Ron would get in my way." Harry answered with a grin.

Lavender snorted, "No surprise there. He acts like a jilted lover when it comes to you."

"That's amusingly accurate." Harry replied finding that hilarious.

"Sounds like there's a story to that." Lavender asked curiously.

"Most people only know that Ron approached me when we got off the boats. What most don't know is that he was actually searching for me on the train also." Harry smiled.

"You're joking." Fay gasped.

"I'm not. I used a few privacy spells to prevent people from bothering me Daphne Lyra and Tracey on the trip up. Since Tracey has a sweet tooth, she wanted us to be able to listen for the sweets cart and I made it so we could listen outside.

One of the first things I heard was that Lyra's brother was looking for me but so was Ron."

"Oh Merlin." Lavender groaned.

"Yep. While Lyra was apologizing since Draco said some stuff that wasn't too pleasant. Ron told Draco that I was destined to be his best mate, and he should get lost." Harry said recalling the day.

"He actually said that." Lavender said in disbelief and the others were stunned as well.

"He did. It was sad and pathetic but that speaks to my issue. Ron wouldn't have given me time to do anything with anybody else and that would've sucked."

Fay smirked, "Well we're here together and Ron is nowhere to be found so why not make up for lost time."

"Seriously Fay." Lavender sighed.

"Look me in the eye and tell me that you don't use the interviews as an excuse to have 'quality time' with Harry." When Lavender looked away that told the girls all they needed to know."

Parvati smelled blood and decided to give Lavender a taste of her own medicine, "Okay Lavender time for you to answer a question. If we weren't here right now, what would you be doing with Harry."

Lavender realized the jig was up, "Right now Harry would probably have me bent over this desk and pounding me into a second or third orgasm." Lavender admitted.

"Lucky bitch." Fay smiled alongside Parvati as Hermione blushed.

Hermione was in shock, "You guys actually."

"Have sex in here, yes. He actually does answer questions but once that's over he bends me over this desk and makes me scream his name. So are we going to keep talking about it or are we going to actually do something."

"Well why stop tradition." Fay smiled but just as she reached for her shirt Peeves the Poltergeist appeared.

"Oh my such naughty students. Peeves should tell everyone what he saw." Peeves teased.

Harry smirked, "You could, but then I'd tell the Baron that you annoyed me Peeves. We wouldn't want the Baron getting angry"

Peeves looked in shock, "Potter is no fun. Peeves just wanted to play."

"You can play all you want Peeves but not with me." Harry smiled.

"Fine." Peeves frowned and he flew away.

"How did you get Peeves to behave. He always pulls stuff on people" Parvati wondered.

"The Bloody Baron is the Slytherin House ghost and the only person Peeves respects. It's a very nice benefit of being in Slytherin." Harry answered

"Either way. He killed the mood." Fay sighed.

"Yeah." Lavender admitted.

"Maybe next time." Harry shrugged.

"Next time." Hermione squeaked.

"Yup. Lavender interviews me every week and this was actually quite fun." Harry replied.

"Sounds like a plan." Fay smiled.

"Agreed and maybe next time we can ask some of the questions Lavender didn't want to ask." Parvati smirked.

"Alright but for now let's get back to the dorms." Harry said calmly though internally he was annoyed. He was about ready to have quite a bit of fun, but Peeves ruined it completely. He'd make good on his threat to contact the Baron later so the foolish ghost knew not to ruin his fun again.

(Scene Skip)

Harry walked into the locker rooms where Cho would be waiting just to find Marietta dressed in a blue sweater with matching jeans and some black boots. "Sorry Potter but Cho already left. Whatever plans you had for her are over." Marietta replied with a haughty grin.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Harry said nonchalantly.

"Save it Potter. I was able to convince Roger to tell me why he let Cho take care of the captains duties so I know you've been meeting up with her after these practices." Marietta scowled. She had to blow the captain to get the answer and while his size was decent, he was a quick shot making the experience far less enjoyable than she cared for.

Harry sighed, "I don't see the problem."

"The problem is that you're a Slytherin and I don't want any dirty Slytherin's near my best friend. She's a sweet and innocent girl and I won't let you sabotage her"

Harry smiled, "I respect the fact that you're looking out for a friend, but you have a few things wrong."

"Oh."

'First off, I find Flint's tactics to be deplorable and the idea of a female seeker beating him is hilarious, so I won't do anything to screw her up. Second, Cho knows exactly what she's getting into with these meetings. That's why she's doing them.' Harry smiled.

Marietta grit her teeth before taking a deep breath, "In that case how about a deal."

"Oh?" Harry asked with a smile on his face.

"My mom is high up in the Ministry and while she isn't quite Lucius Malfoy, she's definitely in the upper tier."

"So." Harry deadpanned.

"So. If you agree to leave Cho alone. I'll make sure that you have a cushy Ministry job waiting for you once you graduate. It won't matter how many N.E.W.T's you get. You'll be set for life." Marietta replied.

"That's an intriguing offer Marietta." Harry paused to see her smile, "If I was a loser like Ron Weasley." Harry scowled.

Marietta frowned, "So what do you want."

"You to act like an actual friend. Cho enjoys spending time with me. If you were her actual friend you'd be happy for her.." Harry replied.

"Cho deserves better than you." Marietta frowned.

"Oh? What makes you say that" Harry replied.

"Because anyone with a brain can see how many of the Slytherin girls your involved with. Cho deserves to be the only one a guy focuses on not one of many."

Harry shrugged, "I agree"

"Huh." Marietta blinked.

Harry smiled, "If the day comes that Cho finds somebody that she feels is more worthy of her than me, I'll back off. Until then, I'll enjoy my relationship with Cho."

Marietta was about to respond when a voice interrupted them, "And that is why I've chosen Harry." Cho Chang said happily as she appeared from the shower area dressed in a blue shirt with the Ravenclaw eagle on the side in silver and some black legging.

Marietta was confused, "How long have you been there."

"The whole time Mari. I was going to get undressed and then hide in order to surprise Harry. Then you had to show up." Cho pouted.

Marietta winced, "So you heard the whole thing huh."

"I did and all I can say… is thank you." Cho smiled warmly.

"Huh!!?" Marietta said in shock while Harry simply chuckled.

Cho walked over to her best friend with a smile, "You went to the Boy Who Lived, somebody who's as close to teflon in the magical world and told him off for me. That's what a true friend would do." Cho smiled warmly.

"Cho's right. While I can't agree with what you tried to do, I respect the fact you tried it." Harry admitted..

Cho grinned, "Besides as far as worthiness Harry's shown me time and time again how worthy he is of me. Maybe I can… convince you to."

"Nope. Don't even finish that sentence Cho" Harry stopped firmly.

"Oh come on Harry. You don't think Mari is cute."

"CHO!" Marietta blushed as she realized that her best friend was already in Harry's net and now Cho was trying to recruit her.

"She's a lovely girl and as much as I'd probably showing her what I can do. She's made her feelings clear."

"Oh come on Harry. One look at your dick and."

"Cho." Harry said firmly.

"Fine. Just go and leave me all horny for another week." Cho pouted.

Harry smirked before walking over to Cho and smacking her ass, "Consider it punishment for the stunt you pulled, and I shouldn't have to tell you which one." Harry said with a wry smile on his face.

Cho smirked, "Pretty smart for a snake."

"See ya Cho." Harry smiled as he turned to leave the two girls to talk. He should've been more annoyed at the case of blue balls, but he could take a day off.

(Scene Skip)

It was Valentine's Day at last and Harry was all smiles as he walked into the Great Hal. He got his answer to the question of what the Slytherin girls would do when he was relaxing on his chair right after class the day before. Isabella walked up to him and gave him a book and told him very specifically not to open the book until he was alone. When he did, he saw photos of all of his Slytherin girls in lingerie posing for him but to his admitted shock Gemma Farley, the Fifth year Prefect was also on the list. She had lightly tanned skin with blonde hair and forest green eyes and from the looks of it was another member of the High C club with a thin waist and very nice legs. Walking into the Hall, it was like any other Friday and unsurprisingly Lyra and Daphne had a seat between them for him. Walking over, he was all smiles because today was about to be fun. "Happy Valentine's Day girls." Harry smiled.

'Thanks" the group all replied, and everyone settled in.

"So Potter. Any big plans for Valentine's day." Theo smirked. Just like Blaise, Theo wondered how Harry would manage this.

"Nope" Harry smiled nonchalantly.

"Is that so." Theo replied.

"Yep. Today's actually going to be pretty easy for me." Harry replied with a grin.

"In that case I pity all the girls who are attached to you Potter." Pansy scoffed.

"And I pity you because the one guy who fancies you made his feelings very clear when he tried to go after Daphne." Harry countered causing everyone to snicker.

Pansy blushed, "That was his father's doing."

"True but the smile Draco had when he said it was telling." Harry countered.

Pansy was instantly on the defensive and she didn't like it, "Wha-" Tell him Draco." Pansy protested.

Draco was about to speak up when a group of owl's carrying the same square packaging appeared. The first O.W.L flew to Lavender and dropped the box in front of her food. The same O.W.L went to Susan Bones, Tonks, Cho, Daphne, Lyra, Tracey, Flora Carrow, Julie, and Lilith.

Harry left little doubt as to who sent the packages when he said, "Can a House Elf summon a large plate of bacon." Harry smiled and moments later a large plate with enough strips of bacon for all the owls appeared. One by one the owls flew over to Harry who fed each owl before they pulled away.

Everyone was stunned but now the question was, what did Potter get the girls, "Open it already." Pansy insisted.

"Nope." Daphne smiled instantly aware of what Harry was up to.

"Agreed." Tracey smiled.

"This is not a gift for the public. Harry merely used a public venue because it was easiest." Lilith replied.

"Exactly." Daphne confirmed and looking at who was involved none of them opened it.

Harry could only smile because opening the gift would actually be quite bad. While the gifts for his Slytherin girls were individual, besides the Carrow twins since they actually shared a room, the ones to Lavender and Tonks contained multiple presents because he didn't want Dumbledore or anybody else knowing just how many girls he sunk his fangs into. Off to the side he noticed Weasley slip away to talk to McGonagall, 'What's he up to.' Harry thought to himself. He watched slowly as Weasley walked up to the Professor and said something just for McGonagall's expression to sour.

"100 points from Gryffindor and another month of detention Mr. Weasley." McGonagall shouted out loud.

"What did he do this time." Daphne groaned..

"Who knows, who cares. Let's just finish up breakfast." Harry smiled nonchalantly. Ron's antics were pathetic at this point, and he didn't care.

Everyone nodded and the girls put their presents to the side as they finished eating. What Harry sent would remain a mystery and Harry didn't mind showing off a bit more.

• This chapter is meant to solidify his harem and while not all of the girls had fun. It shows that Harry has quite the group of witches.

• Sasha Ekland is a reference to Mary Goodnight one of the bond girls from Man with a Golden Gun. Her actresses name was Brit Ekland and I figured I'd add that.

• Marietta looking after Cho is not a bad thing by any means and is a reminder that not everyone is okay with Harry being Harry.

• What the package is for Valentine's day will remain a mystery." Harry smiled.
