FINALLY done, double-length chapter! The biggest one yet for HW at 27k words. Hope it was worth the wait!
Summary: Daphne Greengrass is the true ideal of a Pureblood Lady. An elegant woman who turns her nose up at the thought of anything vulgar... Harry doesn’t buy it.Read the Chapter HERE!

READ THE CHAPTER FIRST :)
Excessive A/N: Alright, gents. How did you feel about this one? This was a long one, even AFTER I scrapped Daphne’s bit several times and started over. There was a couple ways I wanted to go, and a few of them dissatisfied me. Hopefully the final product was enjoyable!
I wanted Daphne to feel different and intriguing from the ‘usual’ Witch in this universe. The next best choice for how it could’ve gone was the ‘Occlumency’ route. Where she was actually just insanely good at hiding it all along, and Harry having to go full mind palace and perhaps having literal mind sex with Daphne to reveal her true nature.
I’ll add that; Despite the last bit of Daphne at the end, she’s going to rebound a bit and have her own unique charm in sexy scenes. I wanted to add another scene to emphasize that, but this was already way too long.
I also NEVER EVEN GOT TO TRACEY. Despite the fact that I so arrogantly declared that this chapter would include Tracey, Pansy, and a good chunk of Slytherin Witches! Next time, I guess!
End of Chapter Poll Notes!
So my original plan was going to cover SLYTHERIN in this one, and then jump to the Yule Ball and some publicity in the next chapter but... we only managed DAPHNE in 27k words... so... This Poll will probably be TWO chapters ahead lol. But we're discussing the Yule Ball.
Option One: Yule Ball (Show off)
He’s not champion, but goes to the ball anyway (Fleur’s date, IF she’s required to have one) Benefits of this would be public teasing. Girls trying to ‘act modest’ at the dance while blatantly taking as much liberty as they can; Grinding/teasing. As Harry goes further with more partners, things escalate ridiculously. (Onlooking witches get jealous while wizards scorn Harry)
Meanwhile, McGonagall(And maybe some other female staff), who has been investigating the pregnant Gryffs, has a sudden realization(?)
This one is obviously more leaning toward blowing the top off the 'discreet' idea we've had thus far.
Option Two: Host his own ‘Ball’. Witches only.
Since he’s not champion, he’s not required to go. So he decides to skip and host his own private ‘dance’ with the girls instead. Fleur will probably ditch the ball altogether or leave as quickly as possible to meet up with Harry. Probably will take place in the club, so expect stripping and teasing, into sex on stage.
As for the teachers, I could go either way. McGonagall would notice if all of the pregnant Gryffs didn’t show up to the ball, but might think they were sparing themselves exposure. She wouldn’t notice a single individual male student missing, BUT it’s Harry Potter. She might connect the dots from there, or at least grow suspicious to him in particular.
Either way, I’d like to give some time to some minor or ‘skipped’ characters. Right now, I’m looking at the Carrow Twins in Slytherin.
