A great amount of Harry was extremely amused by how various people were reacting to his current clothes. The Hogwarts students and staff mostly reacted to it with groans of exasperation and the like, with more than a few muttering about how they didn't need the confusion about themselves that he caused. Other students of the school, of the mostly male persuasion, couldn't look at him without blushing ever since the morning's performance with Natsumi. It was especially hilarious to hum snitches of the songs, see them space out, before they flushed and looked utterly embarrassed. From what he heard, Ehren was caught in a bit of a stunned, spaced out state and nearly missed her first class.
Interestingly, Snape gave him the slightest smirk, though there was also the look of nostalgia that was on said Potion Master's face which the teen suspected had to do with how much he looked like his biological mother.
Meanwhile, the other schools had their own reactions to "Heather", which only increased his amusement. Krum had stared at him for some time before sighing with a red face, shaking his head, and raising a mug filled with coffee towards him in salute. Something that got a nod from Harry himself as the teen could appreciate how well he took it. The various boys of Durmstrang who had been flirting with him were also embarrassed, with some shooting glares at him…
Glares that soon vanished as often, Sveltlana would say something with a smirk that would cause the students in question to become even more red and slump some. As if they were about to be executed, which… if Sveltlana was anything like her mother, and Harry suspected she was, was not far off. Of course, he had asked the Russian girl about how it was that she had figured him out so quickly, which he had recognized. Sveltlana took a deep drag of her cigarette, smirked, and leaned in before speaking, "I was raised in Roanapur, which is in Thailand. My Mother sometimes took me to other ports when I was younger as did my Father." Then, she had smirked some, "You are good, da, but not quite that good yet."
Very slowly, the normally black-haired teenage boy had nodded with a chuckle, accepting that.
Though there was that Hungarian witch, Kamilla or something, at times gave him flustered glares as if his existence somehow insulted her. All Harry did was smile back at her and giggle, or flip his hair, which only made her more flustered. Other times though, she gave a smirk towards Pansy, which angered the Slytherin, especially when she commented that Harry was still a better girl than "Certain Slytherins", which Pansy seemed to take as an insult. Something that the teenage wizard had suspicions in regards to considering some of the rumors that he had heard.
Of course, that left the Beauxbatons crowd which had… interesting reactions of their own. Like with Durmstrang, the boys had been more than a little flustered at the reveal, and some of those not there for the initial one had flirted with him before either he told them or others had about his actual gender. It was similar with Argalia, who seemed inordinately amused by all the attention being paid to them (of course, Harry did have his limits and there was no way he was willing to dress in a two piece when suggested by said lance). Madam Maxime had turned to Dumbledore with a hurried conversation, which the old wizard just chuckled at before she leaned back with a befuddled look on her face at something that Albus had said.
With the girls though, it was a mixture of reactions. Some of them, like their Headmistress, had seemed utterly befuddled at what he was doing. Others, such as Isabella, seemed more amused than anything else. It did not fail to catch Harry's attention that most of those in that group were the very same that were members of Colombe's fanclub. A few of the girls glared at him with angry looks, as if he was insulting them by just existing or doing what he was. In their case, he just winked and smiled before doing a pose, which only got them angrier… and flustered.
And, of course, there were those like Fleur who were confused, and somewhat flustered by what he was doing. More than one had been muttering about how it was that he pulled off being a girl so very well. Something that made him internally snicker at what they were saying.
It was all so very amusing after all, not just to him but the two weapons of Astolfo as well, Sumiko as well from the few glances he had caught of the Kunoichi with a grin as she enjoyed the chaos.
But, as Harry made his way towards the Great Hall for lunch, he blinked as he heard his name called out and turned to find Fleur making her way towards him, "Good afternoon, Fleur."
The Beauxbatons Champion took a deep breath and nodded towards him, "Good afternoon to you as well, 'Arry." For a brief moment, something like confusion came over her face before she sighed and her shoulders slumped, "Are you doing zhis because of what I said?"
Lips twitching, Harry's response made her blink, "Actually? Only a little bit is because of that." He then flipped his hair over his shoulder in a way that made Fleur's eyebrow twitch, "I mean, you did say that you could make a better boy than I could make a girl."
For a second or two, it looked like Fleur had bitten into a lemon before taking another breath, "Zo, I…" She gestured at him with a confused look, "Why?"
Hum escaping him, the crossdressing wizard tilted his head some before he began to tick off on his fingers, "Well… firstly? It amused me to do so, especially due to all the looks." Second finger raised, "Not to mention, it lets me blow off a little bit of steam due to the First Task. Third…" Another finger came up, "I'll admit, part of me wanted to show off at you."
Blinking at that, Fleur furrowed her eyebrows with an unsure look on her face, "Zhow off?"
Just nodding at that, Harry chuckled a little, "Fleur, while I may be a boy, and thus not understand everything about girls? I was raised in a girl dominated household." A small snort escaped him in amusement as he shook his head, "It was me, my Mum, and Hoppou at first along with Shiromizu. We've been joined by Blackie Smokie and Seiko since then, which made me even more outnumbered."
Very slowly, the part Veela frowned at that, "I zee…?"
Only shaking his head, Harry continued to smile, "Fleur, there was also the fact that outside of school? I mostly hung around the shipgirls that were my physical age. Off the top of my head, I often played with Hibiki-Chan, Inazuma-Chan, Ikazuchi-Chan, and Akatsuki-Chan. Not to mention Fubuki-Nee, Yuudachi-Nee, Naka-Nee, and many more. And that is not getting into how many aunts I had. We could be here through lunch before I finished naming off all the girls who were basically friends, sisters, and aunts to me. I could count the men and such that I hung around with growing up with one hand, among them being the three who were basically my Uncles in Uncle John, Goto-Oji, and Yonehara-Oji. Other then them? Maybe some of the crews of Hibiki-Chan and the others. But… yeah, mostly grew up around girls."
There was an odd look at that bit of information, "Zo, you mostly hung around with girls? When growing up?"
With a hum, Harry nodded at that, "Pretty much? I mean, like I said, out of school I mostly hung around girls and grew up with them. And even in school, I hung around with Natsumi-Chan. So even if I don't fully understand girls, I probably know more than most boys."
Right then, Ehren spoke up having walked up with an unsure look on her face, "Ja, I see, but… um…" The German dagger blushed a little and gestured at him, "About what you're doing, why…"
Understanding on his face, the crossdressed wizard only nodded, "Why is it that it seems like I'm not bothered?" Part of him noted that there was a portion of Ehren's expression that seemed off, as if she was fighting something. And Harry suspected that he knew exactly what that something was considering her history, "Why should I be?"
He felt amusement as that seemed to bring up Ehren short alongside Fleur. Slowly, Laura leaned out from behind her friend, "Uh… you're a guy? And wearing girls clothes…?"
Chuckles escaping him, Harry shook his head, "Exactly why it doesn't bother me." At the looks, he sighed some and leaned a bit to the side, "They're clothes, guys, nothing more and nothing less. Yes, they're girl clothes and I am a guy. But it isn't like they're some sort of virus where by wearing them I'll transform into a girl because I'm doing so. Nor will I suddenly only be attracted to guys because I'm wearing girl clothes. Doesn't work like that outside of a bad hentai doujin. They're just clothes, that's all. I'm still me under my clothes, my wig, and makeup."
Mouth opening, Fleur paused for a moment as she furrowed her eyebrows while the others looked confused at the last bit, "But…"
Just shaking his head, the normally black-haired wizard smiled at her, "Fleur, once upon a time a girl wearing trousers would get people worried that, maybe, she would suddenly like girls. Tomboys wearing boy clothes would cause people to tut about it and wonder if she wanted to be an actual boy and such. In the end though? Look around when you're out and about and you'll see plenty of girls walking around in jeans and other forms of pants. Some of them wearing clothes that would, once upon a time, have been only for boys. Yet they're not suddenly turning into a guy because they put on a pair of trousers or what have you. It is the same for me."
Continuing, Harry patted himself on the chest, "I'm a guy, Fleur, one hundred percent male. The clothes that I wear don't change that. I'm comfortable in both my skin and my masculinity, that I am a boy. Hence, I don't need to worry about that fact nor do I need confirmation of it, to prove to myself that I am a guy. And so…" Spreading his arms, he smiled some, "I'm not bothered by wearing girl clothes, a wig, and makeup. Because it doesn't change the fact that I am a guy and that is all there is to it in the end."
Now thoughtful, Fleur considered that fact and, from the corner of his eye, the wizard noted that Ehren also seemed very deep in thought about what he had said. The French Champion slowly nodded at that, "I zee…" All of a sudden, her eyes went wide and she flushed some, "Do you expect that I do the zame…? And dress as, um…"
Unable to help himself, the crossdressed boy chuckled, "Dress up as a guy?" At her slow nod, he hummed and rubbed his chin, "Well, you would make for a very good Bishounen…" The teen ignored the utter befuddlement on the faces of those who were listening, but then shrugged a little bit, "But no, I don't expect that you do that."
Glare appearing on her face, Fleur frowned at what he had said, "Iz it because you Zhink that I cannot do it?"
However, to her surprise, Harry shook his head, "No, I'm pretty sure that you would be able to pull it off, Fleur. Like I said, you would make for a good Bishounen in looks. But there is more to crossdressing or crossplaying like I am and do than just dressing up in clothes of the opposite sex. There is also the mental aspect, in being comfortable with it. Hence, I would never ask it of someone who is not comfortable with it."
Bullish look coming over her face, the Beauxbatons student took a deep breath, "I will ztill do it!"
For several moments, Harry looked her in the eye before nodding some with a smile, "Very well, but wait for a few days since I have some business outside of Hogwarts for the next few days."
Ehren blinked at that in curiosity, "You have some business outside of Hogwarts?"
Lips twitching, they wondered some at the soft smile that came over his face even as they blushed, "I do, starting tomorrow." Then, Harry shrugged and turned back to Fleur with a small smile, "But if you want, I can give you some tips when I get back. Such as a proper wig and the like as well as how to wear one properly?"
Utterly befuddled at that, Fleur slowly nodded, "Oui? I suppose zo…?"
With a nod, Harry considered her for a few moments before smirking as he turned, "Hmm… Hogwarts Host Club, there's an idea… Now, how to rope the Weasley Twins into it…" It went without saying that those there were confused as he began singing to himself, "Kiss, kiss fall in love~"
Frown on her face, the Beauxbatons student turned towards Ehren and the others, "Does… anyone know what 'e is talking about?"
All she got, however, was shrugs of their own confusion.
Giggling as she walked beside Harry into the Great Hall, Teruzuki's smile widened as he continued to sing, "Are you really going to do that, Harry-Chan?"
Only humming as he rubbed his chin, Harry gave a small shrug, "Well… it is an interesting idea. And I would like to see the reactions…" His smile became a grin as he glanced at the Weasley Twins, "Besides which, due to what happened last year I have an IOU from Fred and George for anything I could want~"
It went without saying that said redheads had a shudder and looked around in fear, while in the Timor Sea, Revina perked up with a grin.
His grin widening some, Harry chuckled a little, "A very interesting idea and I wonder who else I can rope into it…" Suddenly, he became thoughtful, "Hmm… maybe donate any proceeds to charity? There's an idea…"
The rest of the day passed as one could expect with the teenage wizard and the male of the two weapons of Astolfo leaving various people befuddled and confused about various things. All the while, Harry continued to roll the idea that he had around in his head. It would need some work, and he would also need to convince a number of people as well. But… it was not impossible, and it would be kind of fun as well.
As the days classes ended, however, Harry also talked with the various Professors as he was taking that Friday off for a long weekend. Something which they understood as, while he could have taken Monday off, he had not. And he was ahead in his work with most of what was going on being review, hence leaving school for a long weekend was not much of a bother, especially considering why he was doing so. They were not quite sure what "Materializing an Installation" was at first, but after an explanation had no issue with it.
Meanwhile, at the same time he spread around that he had urgent family business that he needed to cover.
With that done, Harry retreated back to the Head Boy's and Head Girl's quarters for "Practice" with Argalia and Melissia. If he was going to head out for a long weekend, he wasn't going to do it without a large "Bang" as it were. And the way he was choosing would certainly be that, and extremely amusing.
Sitting on the couch, Natsumi tilted her head a little as she watched Harry breathing in and out, some shirt a little damp from sweat as, to either side, the two pink-haired weapons were also grinning. Biting her lip, the Kitsune watched as Harry went back into doing the routine that he had been practicing with Argalia and Melissia. They didn't have much time even with the use of a time turner, but they had practically had it down to an art right then.
Briefly, the Kitsune bit her lip as she watched Harry launch into another routine, skin shining due to the sweat, '… It is a crime that he looks so good like that.'
Inside her, Tamamo licked her lips some, '{Indeed, but then that is Our Harry after all…}'
Not too long after, Hermione had just sat down when she paused as she reached for her food. For a few moments, she stayed like that before looking around with a narrowed eyed gaze and then turning towards Ron, "Ron… where's Harry?"
Glancing at her, the redhead frowned and looked around himself with a frown, "Er… no idea actually. Where is Mate?" Feeing a tap, he turned to find Ginny pointing, "What is it?"
Just raising an eyebrow, his sister pointed again, "Um… are the Duckies recording for some reason?"
That caused Ron's, Hermione's, and Neville's heads to whip around to find that, sure enough, the three Destroyers were doing exactly that with smiles on their faces and giggles between them as they whispered. Groaning, Hermione pinched her nose, "Oh God… what is he going to do now?"
Ron shrugged a little bit with a slight smile, "With Harry? Probably something that will amuse him while causing confusion and befuddlement."
Head laying on the table, the Light Cruiser groaned, "That is what I'm afraid of…"
Moments later, her worse fears were realized as Harry appeared, strutting into the Great Hall with a black wig on and wearing a sailor school uniform that bared his midriff, which more than a few stared at. The skirt, too, was a little bit short, though he had on leggings. One of the twins, meanwhile, wore a red shirt with brown sleeves and a beige skirt along with brown leggings. The other one wore a purple vest-like shirt with detached sleeves and a darker purple skirt along with white, knee-length socks.
It took a few seconds, but Hermione facepalmed, "By Davy Jones' pale, hairy nuts, are you bloody shitting me?"
Unknown to her, beside her Ron blinked as he felt an ancient presence in his mind actually pause at what his female friend had said to his great amusement.
Right then, however, the music started up as the three began to dance right there in front of the Great Hall and all three schools. Said dance mainly involving holding their hands above their head and opening and closing them as they swung their hips from side to side. Movement which made their skirts swish and caused more than one of the guys there to flush.
Harry, meanwhile, had the largest grin on his face as the three Duckies moved around to record, "Do-do-do-oo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah~"
All three began to sing as one, "We wonder are you ready to join us now? Hands in the air, we will show you how. Come and try, Caramell will be your guide…"
Various students just stared at the scene being played out in front of them with Fleur just boggling some. Ehren, meanwhile like earlier that day, had her mind just crash at the sight of Harry, Argalia, and Melissia singing a very familiar song to anyone who spent any time in the non-magical world. Every time her mind tried to restart, it crashed again.
Which was when Dumbledore shuffled behind Harry and the other two… and began dancing alongside them as Minerva at the Staff table laid her head on the table with groan… not helped when Flitwick started dancing a little at said table commenting that it was pretty catchy.
