Harry Leferts
Suave Shadow Cabal Kaiju
There was a look of bemusement on Hanna's face as she looked over Harry, or rather, "Heather", as she chatted with an extremely amused Natsumi. Yes, she had seen pictures of Harry when he cross-dressed, and even video of him having done so. In fact, she had been somewhat amused by said videos and pictures. But seeing it in real life right there in front of her was… actually different.
Really different from when she had seen him in such medium as a matter of fact.
Watching as he smiled, Hanna felt her cheeks heat up as her eyes glanced down at his legs, shown due to wearing a skirt. Part of her could not help but think that she should have felt off by how he looked, even if she did have feelings for him. Yet, for some odd reason… those feelings were still there. For a brief moment, the Heavy Cruiser closed her eyes and imagined her kissing Harry in such a state, and her flush grew even more.
Partially, it was due to the fact that her imaginary self was kissing Harry. But also due to the fact that, somehow, him looking like a girl didn't bother her at all. As if it didn't matter if the wizard was male or female, just that it was them. That was all that mattered somehow, that it was him and not the gender. A fact that made her wonder a little at the changes since becoming a shipgirl, alongside others like how she was not really bothered much by being in a "Fleet".
Opening her eyes, the German Cruiser took a deep breath before releasing it as she softly smiled some, 'Guess that I'll have something to think about later… though Harry does look good right now. Mein Gott im Himmel, does he ever…'
Meanwhile, Natsumi finished her examination of Harry with a hum and a twinkle in her eye, 'Harry-Chan really does pull off the look, doesn't he?"
Hum escaping her, Tamamo gave her a mental nod, '{Indeed, Child, Our Harry most certainly does, as you say, pull off the look.}' A chuckle then escaped her as she shook her head a little bit, '{Though I wonder how much of that is because physically he can pull it off, or if it is because of how he is.}'
Blinking at that, the younger of the two Kitsune frowned a little, 'What do you mean by that, Tamamo?'
Chuckles coming from her, Tamamo gave her a slight smile and a mental gesture, as if waving an imaginary hand at Harry, '{Our Harry is extremely comfortable in his own skin, to the point that such does not bother him. He doesn't need to prove his masculinity to anyone, let alone himself. Thus, when he dresses as a girl, it doesn't bother him the slightest as it might some others. Even a few professional actors that I knew of, whom had spent most of their lives playing as females, had issues when doing so which Our Harry does not. Which is impressive and speaks well of him.}'
Very slowly, Natsumi nodded at that with a small smile on her face, 'True…' Shaking off a few images that entered her head regarding "Heather Potter", and ignoring the snickers from Tamamo as well as other commentary from said vixen, she walked up and gave Harry a hug, "Looking good, Harry-Chan."
Winking at her, Harry grinned back, "Thanks, though a girl must always look good~"
Lips twitching, the Kitsune returned the grin, "True…" Kissing him, she hummed before pulling back and licking her lips, "Mmm… cherry, very nice choice."
A light blush on his face, Harry scratched one cheek and chuckled weakly, "Um, thanks…" Then, he closed his eyes and stretched, not noticing how the others' eyes went directly to him as he arched his back some with a sigh. Moments later, when he opened his eyes, the fourteen-year-old boy blinked some at the blushes at met him before shrugging them off. Instead, Harry grinned some as he motioned for them to follow, "Anyways… we should probably get going since Melissia and Argalia are both waiting for us."
That got him nods as the others followed out of the bedroom and down the stairs. Reaching the bottom, they spotted the two pink-haired weapon spirits practically bouncing around before they spotted him, "Master!"
Melissia then gained a considering look as she looked at Harry coming down the stairs and hummed, "Very nice, Master. Our First Master would definitely be proud."
Even as Argalia nodded and agreed, Sumiko did a double-take and felt her eyebrows shoot up towards her hairline at the sight of the teen she was guarding crossdressed as a girl, '… I thought that they were kidding, but this…' Head tilting to the side, she hummed a little in thought, 'Not bad, though I can see some areas for improvement. But for someone who has not been properly trained, it is very good.'
For his part, Harry tilted his head to the side as he examined the two weapons of Astolfo in front of him in thought.
Both of them, like him, were dressed in old Hogwarts girl uniforms that he had found and, with a little bit of magic and sewing experience, managed to make fit the two of them well and modified them slightly. Glancing between them, Harry hummed as he rubbed his chin in thought. For most people, it would be impossible for them to be told apart. But then, Harry wasn't most people and so smiled as he nodded and towards one of them, "Good morning, Argalia." Seeing them blink, he smirked and turned to the other and nodded, "And a good morning to you as well, Melissia."
It went without saying that both weapon spirits blinked for a few moments before smiling back and returning the good morning. Of course, then Argalia cupped his chin in thought, "How could you tell, Master?"
With a small shrug, Harry smiled and shook his head, "There's a few tells that I caught. Besides which… considering that I crossplay? I know what to look for." That got him nods before he smiled some and clapped his hands, "So! Ready for a fun day~?"
Grins widening, the two pink-haired weapons nodded before Melissia punched her fist into the air, "Alright! Let's go for adventure!"
Now added to the group, they began walking towards the door when it opened to reveal Cathy there. For a few moments, the blonde-haired sword spirit blinked before smiling and bowing slightly, "Good morning, Master."
She then greeted the others including Astolfo's weapons, who replied with their usual exuberance. Eyebrow raising, Harry glanced between them, "You know them, Cathy?"
Lightly chuckling, Cathy nodded with a smile, "Well, not until last night, Master. They are interesting and I can tell that they will be of great help."
Massive grins on their faces, the twins hugged the somewhat flustered French sword spirit, "Thanks, Cathy!"
Pulling back, Argalia gave a wave as they headed out, "See you later!"
Bemused look on her face as she nodded, Cathy shook her head and made her way over to the Map, which was her duty to watch over for the day. Sitting down, she hummed a little as she glanced back at the door and chuckled, "I never would have thought that Master would make such a good girl when dressed up."
Her lips twitching, Sumiko chuckled as well, "Well, he does pull it off well, I will admit." Getting up, the Kitsune made her way over towards the door, only to pause at the sigh from Cathy, "… Is something wrong?"
With a blink, the French sword spirit looked up, "Hmm?" Seeing the question in the Kunoichi's eyes, she shook her head a little, "Ah, just thinking how disappointed that Carnwennan and the others are that Melissia and Argalia are both girls, that is all. They have commented on the lack of boys in the armory after all."
Opening her mouth, Sumiko was about to comment that Argalia was a boy when she paused. Slowly, she shut her mouth and a grin appeared on her lips, "Hmm… very true… Well, I hope that you have a good day, Catherine-San, I shall go and watch over Harry-San and the others…" Internally, the Kitsune snickered, 'It should be amusing… as will when you find out the truth about those two…'
Meanwhile, Brigita just blinked a little in confusion, 'Wonder why Solids make deal of such things… Or why some look like other gender.'
Down in the Great Hall, Ehren sighed some as she sat down at the Hufflepuff table. Looking at her, Laura glanced at Fleur who frowned slightly, "So, Harry wasn't there for your run today?"
Shoulders slumping a little bit more, the dagger shook her head, "Nein, he was not."
Just taking a deep breath, Fleur released a small sigh, "I shall speak to 'Arry later, Ehren. After all, I fear that iz my fault as to why he might not have zhown."
However, she blinked some as she heard Susan muttering as she looked around, "Did you really need to say that you could make a better boy than he could a girl…?"
It went without saying that the Beauxbatons Champion had been confused at similar words from other Hogwarts students. Which did make her wonder just a touch why they seemed at first horrified at what she had said to Harry followed by being dismayed and then simply resigned. However, Fleur just shook her head some even as she promised to check up on Harry, after all he was a friend of Ehren, even if he didn't understand girls.
Turning away from where Eleanor was softly talking with Ehren, Fleur looked towards the doors to the Great Hall thanks to movement and blinked as a Hogwarts student walked in. Part of her was puzzled as the girl was obviously a student that she had never met before. Yet, she was also someone that apparently some of the other students of Hogwarts did, if their double takes and sighs said anything, 'I wonder why they're acting like that…?'
Close to the entrance, Krum blinked a little and turned towards the girl and nodded with a slight bow, "Good morning."
Smile on her face, the girl nodded a little back, "Dobroye utro." She then continued in very good Russian that made eyebrows of some of those in Durmstrang shoot up, "I hope that you are enjoying this fine morning."
Not noticing the narrowed gaze of Sveltana, Krum chuckled some, "Da, I am enjoying it." Placing a hand on his chest, he smiled a little, "I am Victor Krum."
Giggling softly with a slight blush, the girl smiled, "And I am Heather Evans." She then gave a curtsy, "Pleased to meet you, Mister Krum."
Various other wizards from Durmstrang greeted the pretty witch as well. From the corner of her eye, "Heather" noted that Sveltana's eyes widened in realization before the lit cigarette dropped from her hanging open mouth. Then, the Russian witch's grin widened and she snickered some before looking at a Hungarian witch next to her, "Ah, you are very well mannered,"
Lips curling into a smile, Heather hummed a little, "Thank you very much…"
Eyebrow raising, Sveltlana hummed a little as she lit a new cigarette, "Sveltlana, Miss Heather." There was a gleam in her eye as she continued to watch the "Witch" chat with the wizards there, some of whom were hitting on Heather, 'I wonder how they're going to react to the truth…'
Of course, she started coughing at a certain Hungarian commenting within earshot of Pansy that at least some witches at Hogwarts were both good looking and had very good manners that were possibly the equal of her own, unlike some, especially with the pure venomous look said Slytherin shot both the Hungarian and "Heather".
Granted, that was when there was a shout and Heather turned as two pink-haired girls came up, "Melissia, Argalia! Sorry for getting ahead of you." Now, various Hogwarts students blinked and looked at the twins as they had not expected this. Meanwhile, Heather rubbed the back of her neck, "Sorry about that. These are my cousins named Argalia and Melissia, they go to Castle Anthrax."
Almost no one noticed a certain Light Cruiser pause as she came in and give a look to the three "Witches" before sighing and walking off. For his part, Krum frowned as he tried to place the name, "… Castle Anthrax?"
Grin on their face, Argalia nodded, "It's a small school for witches. Our parents didn't want us going to Hogwarts due to, you know… boys and girls mixing." Winking, they stuck their thumb and forefinger out, "Thankfully, Cuz here lets us show up here now that we're old enough we can come and visit on our own."
Various nods met that and, after another minute or two during which Heather was flirted with, they made their way over to the Hufflepuff table and sat down, Heather smiling at Ehren and her friends, "Is it okay if we sit down here?"
Just blinking some, Ehren looked at the redhead and frowned even as she nodded, 'There is something about her… something familiar…'
Bright smile on her face, the redheaded witch gestured for her "Cousins" to come and sit down. Heather then turned back to Ehren and frowned a little, "I hope that you don't mind much, but… is there something wrong?" At the look, Heather waved her hands some, "It is just that you look somewhat down. Homesick?"
Part of Ehren was somewhat confused as to why various older members of her House were looking at Heather and shaking their heads with groans and sighs… including a number of boys laying their heads on the table, 'I wonder why…?'
Right as she was about to say something, Emma spoke up, "That's because she's been down in the dumps for a few days. And not helping is how Harry Potter seems to be avoiding her."
Eyes wide at that, Heather blinked in astonishment, "Wait, Harry Potter is avoiding her?" Frown tugging at her lips, she furrowed her eyebrows, "That… doesn't sound right. I mean, he's a nice guy…" A giggle came from her and the witch shook her head, "And his puns are the best."
As Heather placed some food on her plate, Fleur sighed some, "Zat may be my fault." At the look, the Veela continued, "'E was, how do you say, trying to badger her-" Hearing giggles, she blinked, "I do not zee what iz zo funny…?"
Lips twitching behind her hands, the witch that had sat down had her green eyes twinkle, "Um, sorry, it is just…" She then gestured at Ehren, "She's a Hufflepuff and her House mascot is a badger. And you said that Harry was badgering her… It is pretty funny."
For the most brief of moments, there was a twitch of Ehren's lips before it was gone and she was nodding, "Ja, and, well… some words were said. And I think that he might be avoiding me." Movement at the entry to the Great Hall made her blink at the sight of Natsumi chatting with Regina and others, but no sign of Harry, 'Did something happen…?'
Rubbing her chin, Heather hummed a little bit, "Hmm… still does not sound like Harry. What sort of things?"
With a glance towards the Gryffindor table, the Veela shrugged a little bit, "I… Zaid that 'E did not know how girls think. Because 'E is a boy, you zee."
Her eyebrow raising, Heather frowned at that, "Um… Fleur? You do realize how he grew up, right?" Seeing the blink, she continued, "Harry grew up in a household where he was the only boy. With a Mum, a little sister, and a big sister. Not to mention how he thinks of the various other shipgirls as his big sisters and aunts, the dozens of them."
It went without saying that Fleur's eyebrows shot right up into her hairline at that as she had not expected to be told that, "I see…" From there, the topic meandered a little, but generally the various girls there had no real issue with Heather. Though they did wonder at the looks being sent towards the Hogwarts witch. Giving the girl a once over, Fleur frowned a little, 'Is it because of her looks? Because she is not one who needs the Allure to attract the eye…'
Ehren, meanwhile, was also sometimes giving the girl glances as well. Not just because of how she looked, though she had to admit that Heather was beautiful. But there was a sort of poise around her as she ate with manners that the German bet would impress even her mother. Each movement showing refinement, even as she continued to talk. Internally, a sigh escaped her, 'She would make for a far better wife for Draco than I…'
Of course, when she glanced at the two exuberant pink-haired girls, the dagger spirit had to fight off a ghost of a smile.
Time passed before, suddenly, Heather stood up with a slight bow, "I'm sorry, but I need to be heading to class."
Simply nodding, Ehren gave her a slight bow, "Ja, and thank you for joining us, Heather."
Only tilting her head some, the redhead nodded some as her and the two pink-haired girls began walking towards the doors, only to be intercepted by Natsumi. The disguised Kitsune looked around and whispered something that seemed to surprise Heather, before she grinned and nodded, which made the other girl also grin. A quick whisper with Akizuki had the Destroyer nod and bring out her phone to record as Natsumi tapped her own phone… right before music began to come out.
Frown on her face, one of the muggleborn Hufflepuffs blinked, "Wait, that sounds like-"
Right then, Natsumi began to sing as she brought herself close to Heather, the other girl sliding her arms around the disguised Kitsune, "This was never the way I planned, not my intention… I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion…" She placed her hand on Heather's collar bone and slowly trailed it down with a hooded look, "It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on. I'm curious for you, caught my attention…"
Meanwhile, at the Hufflepuff table, Ehren began to go red as she watched the scene play out in front of her and the three schools. As she glanced at Fleur and those around her, she noted they were also going red and some jaws were dropping… and some boys were muttering to themselves. However, most of her attention was on Heather and Natsumi as the two pulled each other close, faces brushing against each other and lips nearly touching as the Japanese girl sang…
Which was when Heather sang some as she looked at the other girl and licked her lips as she glanced at the rest of the frozen students, "Us girls are so magical…" One hand slid up Natsumi's leg towards her skirt as she grinned a little, bringing her lips close to the disguised Kitsune's neck as said girl craned her head back, "Soft skin, red lips, so kissable…" As Natsumi brought her lips back down, they almost kissed even as the "Witch" continued to stroke the other girl's leg which wrapped around her, "Hard to resist, so touchable. Too good to deny it. " Wicked grin on her face and eyes hooded, Heather looked at the other students as she finished her part, "It's no big deal, it's innocent~"
Finally, they reached the last bit and kissed gently in front of the school before pulling back.
Slumping a little, Ehren rapidly blinked in shock as did the other First Years. They were completely and utterly stunned at what they had just seen and all of them blushing and flustered. From the glance at Fleur, the dagger understood that the part-Veela was feeling much the same. At the same time, Ehren could not help but wonder how Harry would react and why Natsumi was kissing Heather…
Said mind promptly crashed as Professor Sprout walked up and gave the two "Girls" a raised eyebrow, "Mister Potter, please keep from such public displays of affection…" She then smirked a little, "Though most impressive bit with the song, so have three points to Gryffindor."
There were a few beats of silence before Kamilla shot to her feet and pointed a shaking finger at "Heather", now revealed to be Harry, "W-What!? THAT'S HARRY POTTER!?"
Grin on his face, Harry winked, "Hai, hai, Harry-Chan, Little Brother of the Fleet, Desu~" Everyone swore that his clothes turned orange for a second or two before going back to normal. Grasping his skirt, Harry swished it around some, "And you know what they say…" Leaning forward, he continued with a wink and snapping his fingers, people swearing a star flew from the corner of his eye, "No girl can be naturally this cute~"
Very slowly, Ehren blinked while, beside her, Laura had a look of utter disbelief as the unawakened Natural Born stuttered, "I… you mean that… Heather is… and Harry is… that…"
Part of her dagger friend could not help but agree, but the rest was frozen in complete and utter stunned disbelief. And just as she was managing to reboot, her thoughts crashed again as Melissia gave a nod to Sprout asking if they were enjoying their stay in Hogwarts so far, "Oh yeah! My brother Argalia and myself are both enjoying it since Harry is showing us around. He's a lot of fun!" Then, she paused and shrugged, "Oh, and I'm an actual girl if you were wondering."
Bemusement on her face, Sprout only hummed a little, "I see, well that is good to know."
At Ehren's side, Fleur stared in befuddlement and some horror, "Zat was… 'Arry Potter, the whole time. B-but I thought…"
From where she was seated, Susan gave her a look, "That it was a girl?" When the French woman nodded, she sighed, "We warned you… God… this is going to be like last year."
Just nodding, Hannah frowned some before sighing, "Hopefully he won't do it for a full week this year. That was bad enough… and he makes all us girls look bad."
If one was close enough, they might have heard the sound of a tank crashing through a wall coming from Ehren's ears before the dagger slowly laid her head down on the table, especially as she remembered how she considered Harry to be a good candidate for a wife for Draco…
Not to mention that she hoped no one ever found out said thoughts…
Really different from when she had seen him in such medium as a matter of fact.
Watching as he smiled, Hanna felt her cheeks heat up as her eyes glanced down at his legs, shown due to wearing a skirt. Part of her could not help but think that she should have felt off by how he looked, even if she did have feelings for him. Yet, for some odd reason… those feelings were still there. For a brief moment, the Heavy Cruiser closed her eyes and imagined her kissing Harry in such a state, and her flush grew even more.

Meanwhile, Natsumi finished her examination of Harry with a hum and a twinkle in her eye, 'Harry-Chan really does pull off the look, doesn't he?"
Hum escaping her, Tamamo gave her a mental nod, '{Indeed, Child, Our Harry most certainly does, as you say, pull off the look.}' A chuckle then escaped her as she shook her head a little bit, '{Though I wonder how much of that is because physically he can pull it off, or if it is because of how he is.}'

Very slowly, Natsumi nodded at that with a small smile on her face, 'True…' Shaking off a few images that entered her head regarding "Heather Potter", and ignoring the snickers from Tamamo as well as other commentary from said vixen, she walked up and gave Harry a hug, "Looking good, Harry-Chan."
Winking at her, Harry grinned back, "Thanks, though a girl must always look good~"
Lips twitching, the Kitsune returned the grin, "True…" Kissing him, she hummed before pulling back and licking her lips, "Mmm… cherry, very nice choice."

Melissia then gained a considering look as she looked at Harry coming down the stairs and hummed, "Very nice, Master. Our First Master would definitely be proud."
Even as Argalia nodded and agreed, Sumiko did a double-take and felt her eyebrows shoot up towards her hairline at the sight of the teen she was guarding crossdressed as a girl, '… I thought that they were kidding, but this…' Head tilting to the side, she hummed a little in thought, 'Not bad, though I can see some areas for improvement. But for someone who has not been properly trained, it is very good.'
For his part, Harry tilted his head to the side as he examined the two weapons of Astolfo in front of him in thought.
Both of them, like him, were dressed in old Hogwarts girl uniforms that he had found and, with a little bit of magic and sewing experience, managed to make fit the two of them well and modified them slightly. Glancing between them, Harry hummed as he rubbed his chin in thought. For most people, it would be impossible for them to be told apart. But then, Harry wasn't most people and so smiled as he nodded and towards one of them, "Good morning, Argalia." Seeing them blink, he smirked and turned to the other and nodded, "And a good morning to you as well, Melissia."
It went without saying that both weapon spirits blinked for a few moments before smiling back and returning the good morning. Of course, then Argalia cupped his chin in thought, "How could you tell, Master?"
With a small shrug, Harry smiled and shook his head, "There's a few tells that I caught. Besides which… considering that I crossplay? I know what to look for." That got him nods before he smiled some and clapped his hands, "So! Ready for a fun day~?"
Grins widening, the two pink-haired weapons nodded before Melissia punched her fist into the air, "Alright! Let's go for adventure!"

Lightly chuckling, Cathy nodded with a smile, "Well, not until last night, Master. They are interesting and I can tell that they will be of great help."
Massive grins on their faces, the twins hugged the somewhat flustered French sword spirit, "Thanks, Cathy!"
Pulling back, Argalia gave a wave as they headed out, "See you later!"
Bemused look on her face as she nodded, Cathy shook her head and made her way over to the Map, which was her duty to watch over for the day. Sitting down, she hummed a little as she glanced back at the door and chuckled, "I never would have thought that Master would make such a good girl when dressed up."
Her lips twitching, Sumiko chuckled as well, "Well, he does pull it off well, I will admit." Getting up, the Kitsune made her way over towards the door, only to pause at the sigh from Cathy, "… Is something wrong?"

Opening her mouth, Sumiko was about to comment that Argalia was a boy when she paused. Slowly, she shut her mouth and a grin appeared on her lips, "Hmm… very true… Well, I hope that you have a good day, Catherine-San, I shall go and watch over Harry-San and the others…" Internally, the Kitsune snickered, 'It should be amusing… as will when you find out the truth about those two…'
Meanwhile, Brigita just blinked a little in confusion, 'Wonder why Solids make deal of such things… Or why some look like other gender.'
Down in the Great Hall, Ehren sighed some as she sat down at the Hufflepuff table. Looking at her, Laura glanced at Fleur who frowned slightly, "So, Harry wasn't there for your run today?"

Close to the entrance, Krum blinked a little and turned towards the girl and nodded with a slight bow, "Good morning."
Smile on her face, the girl nodded a little back, "Dobroye utro." She then continued in very good Russian that made eyebrows of some of those in Durmstrang shoot up, "I hope that you are enjoying this fine morning."
Not noticing the narrowed gaze of Sveltana, Krum chuckled some, "Da, I am enjoying it." Placing a hand on his chest, he smiled a little, "I am Victor Krum."
Giggling softly with a slight blush, the girl smiled, "And I am Heather Evans." She then gave a curtsy, "Pleased to meet you, Mister Krum."
Various other wizards from Durmstrang greeted the pretty witch as well. From the corner of her eye, "Heather" noted that Sveltana's eyes widened in realization before the lit cigarette dropped from her hanging open mouth. Then, the Russian witch's grin widened and she snickered some before looking at a Hungarian witch next to her, "Ah, you are very well mannered,"
Lips curling into a smile, Heather hummed a little, "Thank you very much…"

Of course, she started coughing at a certain Hungarian commenting within earshot of Pansy that at least some witches at Hogwarts were both good looking and had very good manners that were possibly the equal of her own, unlike some, especially with the pure venomous look said Slytherin shot both the Hungarian and "Heather".
Granted, that was when there was a shout and Heather turned as two pink-haired girls came up, "Melissia, Argalia! Sorry for getting ahead of you." Now, various Hogwarts students blinked and looked at the twins as they had not expected this. Meanwhile, Heather rubbed the back of her neck, "Sorry about that. These are my cousins named Argalia and Melissia, they go to Castle Anthrax."
Almost no one noticed a certain Light Cruiser pause as she came in and give a look to the three "Witches" before sighing and walking off. For his part, Krum frowned as he tried to place the name, "… Castle Anthrax?"
Grin on their face, Argalia nodded, "It's a small school for witches. Our parents didn't want us going to Hogwarts due to, you know… boys and girls mixing." Winking, they stuck their thumb and forefinger out, "Thankfully, Cuz here lets us show up here now that we're old enough we can come and visit on our own."
Various nods met that and, after another minute or two during which Heather was flirted with, they made their way over to the Hufflepuff table and sat down, Heather smiling at Ehren and her friends, "Is it okay if we sit down here?"

Right as she was about to say something, Emma spoke up, "That's because she's been down in the dumps for a few days. And not helping is how Harry Potter seems to be avoiding her."
Eyes wide at that, Heather blinked in astonishment, "Wait, Harry Potter is avoiding her?" Frown tugging at her lips, she furrowed her eyebrows, "That… doesn't sound right. I mean, he's a nice guy…" A giggle came from her and the witch shook her head, "And his puns are the best."
As Heather placed some food on her plate, Fleur sighed some, "Zat may be my fault." At the look, the Veela continued, "'E was, how do you say, trying to badger her-" Hearing giggles, she blinked, "I do not zee what iz zo funny…?"
Lips twitching behind her hands, the witch that had sat down had her green eyes twinkle, "Um, sorry, it is just…" She then gestured at Ehren, "She's a Hufflepuff and her House mascot is a badger. And you said that Harry was badgering her… It is pretty funny."
For the most brief of moments, there was a twitch of Ehren's lips before it was gone and she was nodding, "Ja, and, well… some words were said. And I think that he might be avoiding me." Movement at the entry to the Great Hall made her blink at the sight of Natsumi chatting with Regina and others, but no sign of Harry, 'Did something happen…?'
Rubbing her chin, Heather hummed a little bit, "Hmm… still does not sound like Harry. What sort of things?"
With a glance towards the Gryffindor table, the Veela shrugged a little bit, "I… Zaid that 'E did not know how girls think. Because 'E is a boy, you zee."
Her eyebrow raising, Heather frowned at that, "Um… Fleur? You do realize how he grew up, right?" Seeing the blink, she continued, "Harry grew up in a household where he was the only boy. With a Mum, a little sister, and a big sister. Not to mention how he thinks of the various other shipgirls as his big sisters and aunts, the dozens of them."
It went without saying that Fleur's eyebrows shot right up into her hairline at that as she had not expected to be told that, "I see…" From there, the topic meandered a little, but generally the various girls there had no real issue with Heather. Though they did wonder at the looks being sent towards the Hogwarts witch. Giving the girl a once over, Fleur frowned a little, 'Is it because of her looks? Because she is not one who needs the Allure to attract the eye…'
Ehren, meanwhile, was also sometimes giving the girl glances as well. Not just because of how she looked, though she had to admit that Heather was beautiful. But there was a sort of poise around her as she ate with manners that the German bet would impress even her mother. Each movement showing refinement, even as she continued to talk. Internally, a sigh escaped her, 'She would make for a far better wife for Draco than I…'
Of course, when she glanced at the two exuberant pink-haired girls, the dagger spirit had to fight off a ghost of a smile.
Time passed before, suddenly, Heather stood up with a slight bow, "I'm sorry, but I need to be heading to class."
Simply nodding, Ehren gave her a slight bow, "Ja, and thank you for joining us, Heather."
Only tilting her head some, the redhead nodded some as her and the two pink-haired girls began walking towards the doors, only to be intercepted by Natsumi. The disguised Kitsune looked around and whispered something that seemed to surprise Heather, before she grinned and nodded, which made the other girl also grin. A quick whisper with Akizuki had the Destroyer nod and bring out her phone to record as Natsumi tapped her own phone… right before music began to come out.
Frown on her face, one of the muggleborn Hufflepuffs blinked, "Wait, that sounds like-"
Right then, Natsumi began to sing as she brought herself close to Heather, the other girl sliding her arms around the disguised Kitsune, "This was never the way I planned, not my intention… I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion…" She placed her hand on Heather's collar bone and slowly trailed it down with a hooded look, "It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on. I'm curious for you, caught my attention…"
Meanwhile, at the Hufflepuff table, Ehren began to go red as she watched the scene play out in front of her and the three schools. As she glanced at Fleur and those around her, she noted they were also going red and some jaws were dropping… and some boys were muttering to themselves. However, most of her attention was on Heather and Natsumi as the two pulled each other close, faces brushing against each other and lips nearly touching as the Japanese girl sang…
Which was when Heather sang some as she looked at the other girl and licked her lips as she glanced at the rest of the frozen students, "Us girls are so magical…" One hand slid up Natsumi's leg towards her skirt as she grinned a little, bringing her lips close to the disguised Kitsune's neck as said girl craned her head back, "Soft skin, red lips, so kissable…" As Natsumi brought her lips back down, they almost kissed even as the "Witch" continued to stroke the other girl's leg which wrapped around her, "Hard to resist, so touchable. Too good to deny it. " Wicked grin on her face and eyes hooded, Heather looked at the other students as she finished her part, "It's no big deal, it's innocent~"
Finally, they reached the last bit and kissed gently in front of the school before pulling back.
Slumping a little, Ehren rapidly blinked in shock as did the other First Years. They were completely and utterly stunned at what they had just seen and all of them blushing and flustered. From the glance at Fleur, the dagger understood that the part-Veela was feeling much the same. At the same time, Ehren could not help but wonder how Harry would react and why Natsumi was kissing Heather…
Said mind promptly crashed as Professor Sprout walked up and gave the two "Girls" a raised eyebrow, "Mister Potter, please keep from such public displays of affection…" She then smirked a little, "Though most impressive bit with the song, so have three points to Gryffindor."
There were a few beats of silence before Kamilla shot to her feet and pointed a shaking finger at "Heather", now revealed to be Harry, "W-What!? THAT'S HARRY POTTER!?"
Grin on his face, Harry winked, "Hai, hai, Harry-Chan, Little Brother of the Fleet, Desu~" Everyone swore that his clothes turned orange for a second or two before going back to normal. Grasping his skirt, Harry swished it around some, "And you know what they say…" Leaning forward, he continued with a wink and snapping his fingers, people swearing a star flew from the corner of his eye, "No girl can be naturally this cute~"
Very slowly, Ehren blinked while, beside her, Laura had a look of utter disbelief as the unawakened Natural Born stuttered, "I… you mean that… Heather is… and Harry is… that…"
Part of her dagger friend could not help but agree, but the rest was frozen in complete and utter stunned disbelief. And just as she was managing to reboot, her thoughts crashed again as Melissia gave a nod to Sprout asking if they were enjoying their stay in Hogwarts so far, "Oh yeah! My brother Argalia and myself are both enjoying it since Harry is showing us around. He's a lot of fun!" Then, she paused and shrugged, "Oh, and I'm an actual girl if you were wondering."
Bemusement on her face, Sprout only hummed a little, "I see, well that is good to know."
At Ehren's side, Fleur stared in befuddlement and some horror, "Zat was… 'Arry Potter, the whole time. B-but I thought…"
From where she was seated, Susan gave her a look, "That it was a girl?" When the French woman nodded, she sighed, "We warned you… God… this is going to be like last year."
Just nodding, Hannah frowned some before sighing, "Hopefully he won't do it for a full week this year. That was bad enough… and he makes all us girls look bad."
If one was close enough, they might have heard the sound of a tank crashing through a wall coming from Ehren's ears before the dagger slowly laid her head down on the table, especially as she remembered how she considered Harry to be a good candidate for a wife for Draco…
Not to mention that she hoped no one ever found out said thoughts…
