Work Text:
Beginning of 3rd year, in Diagon Alley five minutes after buying his new pet snake
This one is fertile, mate with her.
Harry blushes furiously as the thought of what exactly Ricky is suggesting flashes through his mind.
"I'm thirteen! I'm not ready to mate with anyone!"
Yes you are, you are fertile as well. Mate with her, before another male comes along.
"I'm not doing that with her. We are way too young, and she is also like a sister to me. I've never even snogged a girl before!"
Foolish human relations matter not, mate with her or I will.
"No! Also I'm pretty sure you lack the parts."
Do not underestimate me, foolish one.
In Diagon Alley meeting Ron outside the pet shop
A rival male, drive him off!
"Ron is my best mate, what are you talking about?"
If you will not do it I will do it for you, fool human! HiSS
"Ricky NO"
On the train to Hogwarts
Ricky is snoozing while wrapped around Harry's shoulders, only his head visible from under Harry's robes, several minutes after having just scared off Draco and his goons.
"Well, I guess he does have his uses," Ron says from his seat at the opposite corner of the compartment.
"He's a right pain in the arse sometimes, but the witch at the pet store says he imprinted on me and wouldn't take him back so not much doing."
"Why doesn't he like me anyways?"
"He thinks you're a rival male or some such, I don't thinks he understands humans yet."
"Well, just as long as he doesn't bite my arse like he did Draco."
They both laugh as what will surely be a long lasting memory.
"By the way, what did you do to Hermione to get her so put out with you?" Ron asks after their laughing subsides.
Harry cringes, "I don't want to talk about it."
At the welcoming feast
You are surrounded by potential mates, why do you not mate with them?
"Because we are still children! Why are you so focused on getting me to mate with someone?"
Your body is ready, their bodies are ready. I do not understand why you resist. It does not make sense.
"It makes sense if you're a human!"
I am not human, and humans do not make sense to begin with. All of you are stupid, overcomplicating everything. Mate with one and be done with it.
"If I mate with one will you shut up about it?"
No. Give me another chicken limb.
In the common room
This one is bleeding, ask her if she requires help.
"Ginny, are you okay? Ricky says that you're bleeding?"
Ginny's face flushes bright red, then she turns and runs from Harry, quickly disappearing up the stairs to her dorm.
Harry frowns.
"What was that about?"
"Honestly Harry, it's embarrassing enough for her that it that it's her time of the month," Hermione says matter of factly, "you don't need to bring attention to it."
Harry buries his now bright red face in his hands.
"Why do I listen to you?"
Because I am correct. Now are you going to mate with this one or not?
"For the thousandth time, no. Are you going to try again? because you know it worked out so well for you last time."
The flash of memory of Hermione pulling Ricky out of her robes and throwing him across the Leaky Cauldron causes Harry to suddenly cringe.
Only a fool gives up after one attempt. If you wish to continue to be a fool, I will take your place as her mate.
Harry groans.
