The Karma of Love Chapter One-The Good &Bad news

Harry stayed at the edge of the lake, thinking about something. He does not know how to tell the truth to his bestfriends: Ron & Hermione.He knew that they'd never accept it. He look at the watch that Hermione gave to him in his 17th birthday and read that it is already 7pm,so he went back to the castle. While walking along the corridors he met Peeves the poltergeist pranking on Eddie Carmichael &Owen Cauldwell."Peeves! Stop that now! Or else!" Harry commanded pointing his wand at him.

"Oh look its Potty wee Potty who is now a young man, run along as fast as you can or else he'll kill you with his wand!" Peeves said while swirling in circles. "Look Peeves I am not joking" He said, now erupting in anger. Before Harry could curse him, he vanished. Harry continued walking to the common room. He said the password (Merlin) and went through the portrait hole. He saw Ron and Hermione doing their homeworks."Harry where have you been? What took you so long to go here?"Hermione said closing her ancient runes book."Um"before Harry could speak Hedwig came with a small parcel. Harry took the parcel and hid it in his robes."Oi, what is that?" Ron said."Nothing"Harry replied. "Forget about that just finish your homework"Hermione said scribbling a few more lines in her potions essay. After finishing their homework they went to bed.

The next day Harry & Ron woke up at 7:00am for their Quidditch Practice. At the field Harry, who is the captain, waited for their other members to come. After 10 minutes the whole team is complete, Ron (keeper), Ginny, Romilda, Parvati (Chasers), The Creevey Brothers (beaters)&Harry (seeker) went up in the air and started their practice. Harry saw that Hermione was in one of the Quidditch stands with an omnioculars in her hand, he waved at her. Hermione who was watching Harry through her omnioculars waved back to him. Harry, who was staring at Hermione, did not notice that a beater was 4 feet away from him."Harry! A beater is right behind you!" Before Ron could say this Collin Creevey was able to hit the Bludger."Good hit, Collin!"Harry shouted. After that they went down and directly went to the Quidditch Captain's room to talked Quidditch tactics."Dennis, Collin can you manage to do the Dopplebeater Defence and the Bludger Backbeat on Wednesday next week?" Harry asked. "We will try our best, Captain!"They replied in unison. "For the Chasers, I want all of you to do the Woollongong Shimmy, Hawkshead Attacking Formation, Porksoff Ploy and the Reverse Pass. Do you think all of you can do it?" He said. The chasers nodded. "And Ron, You will just practice blocking goals and the Double Eight Loop" He said to Ron."Ok, everyone we will do all of these Wednesday next week." Harry said to all of them. Ginny raised her hand. "What will you do, Harry?"Ginny asked. "What do you mean?" He replied." I mean us doing all of these things and you just looking for the snitch," Ginny said."Oh, I'll be doing the Wronski Feint" He replied. Everybody was speechless. "Your dismissed, you may go now," Harry said and all of them went.

After Ron and Harry changed they went out of the changing room and joined Hermione for breakfast. "You've been doing great in your practice"Hermione said."Thanks"Harry replied."Yeah, all those things he wanted us to do are a bit nerve wrecking" Ron said while trying to get bacon from Harry's plate. "But its for the team, anyway, I am doing the Wronski Feint that's harder than all of those things I let you do, combined." Harry said not letting Ron get his bacon."Well, just stop talking about Quidditch, Dumbledore will tell us something."Hermione said. "Can I have your attention, please!"Dumbledore said. "Barry Ryan, the Irish team keeper who is now the head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports will be here in our school until the Year ends. He will be observing our Quidditch matches and he will choose 4 lucky players to join one of the Professional Quidditch teams of Britain,"Dumbledore continued. "This is your big break, Harry, I know that you'll be chosen" Dean who was next to Harry said."Well, I don't really want to be a Professional Quidditch Player I want to be an Auror"Harry replied."Oh, okay"Dean said.

After breakfast the Trio went to visit Hagrid."Ah, good to see you three again,'Arry, Ron and in and let's have some tea"Hagrid said. "No need, Hagrid we just finished our breakfast"Hermione replied."Well.then let's just sit down and talk"Hagrid said. The trio went in and sat."So, what've you 'bin doin' lately?"Hagrid asked."Well, um, nothing really just studying" Ron answered. "Well lucky the two of you its only the N.E.W.T.s you'll worry about?"Hagrid said. "What do you mean two, Hagrid?"Hermione asked. "Well didn't he tell ya?"Hagrid replied. "Who he?" she asked."'Arry of course!"Hagrid replied. "You didn't tell them, 'Arry?"Hagrid shouted. "Tell us what? What the bloody hell are you talking about, Hagrid? Have you gone mental?" Ron said. "Never mind" He replied eyeing on Harry.

They arrived in the common room. And did their homework. Harry sat near the fireplace clutching his hands. "Is there anything bothering you, Harry?"Hermione asked while Ron and her sat with him. "No,……….I mean yes" Harry said. "It's about the thing that Hagrid said right? About the thing you suppose to tell us?" she said."Well, I…hang on how'd you know?" He said. "I can see by the look in your eyes" She replied."Well, it's hard to tell you about this and I knew you'd never understand." he asked. "We'll always understand you, Harry." Ron said."Ok, I will tell it to the two you that…I am part of the war and I will have to battle Voldemort (Ron whimpered)"Harry said. Hermione was bursting out tears, she leaned her head in Harry's shoulder and cried." But why?"Hermione whispered." It's about the prophecy that Professor Trelawney made about me and Voldemort (and again Ron whimpered). Dumbledore told me he will show you the phropecy, soon"He said. Silenced went upon them, Hermione continually cried on Harry's shoulder which is now wet with her tears. "Don't worry, mate we will give you all support that you need" Ron said patting Harry's back."Thanks!"Harry said.

It has been 3 days since Harry told his two best friends about the war and phropecy, and the two of them have accepted the whole truth. It was the day before Hermione's 17th birthday, Ron and Harry were planning for a surprise but before planning for a birthday surprise they went to practice.

Everyone did their Quidditch Tactics well so Harry dismissed them early. While the head boy (Harry) and the prefect (Ron) were patrolling the corridors they were talking about their gift to Hermione" What will you give to her?" Ron asked. "Remember the parcel Hedwig gave? It contains the gift that I will give to her." Harry replied. "What is it anyway? I bet it isn't a book by the size of it" Ron said."Oh, you'll just find out when she opens it" Harry answered. When they passed by the trophy room they saw Malfoy along with Crabbe and Goyle bullying a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff."Stop, that Malfoy! Or I will deduct 10 points from each of you" Harry said."Yeah, for Pete's sake Malfoy you're a prefect and you still bully younger students." Ron said."Oh, look it's the amazing duo ready to save the day let's go now or we might die!"Malfoy said running away from the two of them. After patrolling they went in the boy's lavatory planning for their birthday surprise to Hermione.
