@m_anthonyharris I love that we've kind of collectively decided that Malfoid's antics are in plain view of the entire school and the only one who doesn't get it is Harry.
Snape:
"Okay, now you are saying he is not actually your boyfriend while he is, in fact, doing everything a boyfriend would."
"He carries your book satchel through the corridors."
"He checks your cauldron temperature so you do not singe your bangs."
"And you put 10 girls in the hospital wing for flirting with him."
"Miss Malfoy, stop being a creepy yandere and just be a good student, will you?"
"Stop attacking any woman that actually just talks to Harry Potter, alright?"
Malfoid:
*(crossing her arms, turning her head with an indignant huff, cheeks burning bright crimson)*
"They were tactical threats to the Malfoy sphere of influence, Professor!"
"The Patil girl was standing within three inches of his personal space during Herbology!"
"That was clearly an aggressive flanking maneuver!"
"And Daphne Greengrass asked him to borrow a quill with obvious seditious intent!"
"I merely applied standard family counter-measures to neutralize the perimeter!"
Snape:
*(pinching the bridge of his nose, robes billowing with sheer exhaustion)*
"You transfigured Miss Greengrass's shoes into live snapping turtles because she asked Potter for the time."
"Madam Pomfrey has been ungluing Ravenclaws from corridor ceilings since Tuesday morning."
"Either drag the boy to the Ministry registry or cease turning my dungeon into a territorial war zone."
"Fifty thousand points to Gryffindor."
