Harry looked out the tower window, the castle courtyard was bustling with activity. Then his jaw clenched as he saw a familiar flash of blond hair. Draco Malfoy. He wasn't alone, flanked (as usual) by Crabbe and Goyle, the trio were being pursued by a group of girls.
Looking closer, Harry saw they were all Slytherins, and the flash of red revealed the various boxes they were carrying. Eager to give him Valentine's chocolates. To mark him as hers, and strengthen a connection with the rich and powerful Malfoy family.
Even when it was so transparent, they still jostled for activity. They still tugged blouses tight over fulsome breasts, or smoothed skirts over wide hips. Some were clearly wearing the most make-up Harry had ever seen them wear. Not that he paid these things much attention.
Something deep inside spilled into anger. A deep loneliness was hard to bear, the years beneath the stairs, and all the time alone in a bustling house where he was ignored. And these.... and these girls were throwing themselves at Draco, as if HE were a prize.
The only consolation, such as it was, he didn't look comfortable with all the attention. Not as a target of suitors, he wanted to be feared, and respected, not ... not this...
Harry ripped his gaze from the fawning women, and was startled to find the rule book open in his lap. A quill already in his hand.
