[ harry gives an exaggerated shrug in response. it's not his fault john's playing a strange game here and threw himself on the floor to avoid touching him.
and now he really can't leave it alone. he waits till john is out of site again then gets up, grabs a random book, and pretends to put it back - rounding a shelf to cut john off wherever he's at now ]
What gives? You fucking with me?
[ of course, he's taking it personally instead of finding another reason for it. people avoid touching him all the time. he's had this game played before. the one where people risk injury just because they think he'll kill them if they so much as let him lay a finger on them. or the one that don't think it's that bad but they cringe away because he'll tire them out when they certainly need to be alert. he's been here long enough now that more of his peers figured it out. the desk next to him stays empty until someone has no other seat left to choose from half the time. unless rogue's in the class - then he'll just sit next to her.
but john knows it isn't that bad... so he's purposely messing him. clearly. he must be. harry thinks he's possibly being mocked right now. he's still smiling, keeping a well-practice friendly sort of tone. curious -- but there's an obvious hint of him being utterly annoyed by this. right in his eyes. ]
