Harryia in Esteemsters Part 1
James is driving his daughters to school; Ginny is riding shotgun, Harryia in the backseat. "Girls, I just want you to know your mother and I realize it's not easy moving to a whole new town especially for you, Harryia, right?" "Did we move?" James laughs. "I'm just saying you don't make friends as easily as… uh, some people." Ginny turns radio up. "Ginny, for instance?" "That's not what I meant… necessarily." James turns radio off. "The point is, the first day at a new school is bound to be difficult…" Harryia turns radio on
and cranks up the volume. Harryia shouts. "Speak up, Dad! Can't hear you!" "Uh, where was I?" James turns off radio. "Oh yeah…" Car arrives at school. "Don't get upset if it takes the other kids a little while to warm up to you." Ginny exits the car, and is immediately noticed by the other students. "Hi you're cool. What's your name?" "Ginny Potter." "Cool name." "Will you go out with me?" "I'll try to help her through this difficult period of adjustment." Harryia exits car. "That's my girl! Wait a minute…" "See you,
Dad." Harryia walks through the crowd; the students are oblivious to her presence. School hallway; Ms. McGonagall, the principal, is giving the new students a tour of the school. "As you can see, our Hogwarts High students take great pride in their school. That's why you'll each be taking a small psychological exam to spot any little clouds on the horizon as you sail the student seas of Hogwarts High." "S.O.S., girl overboard." The girl standing next to Harryia frowns and moves away from her. "Nobody told me
about any test!" "Don't worry. It's a psychological test. You're automatically exempt." "Oh. All right." Mrs. Trelawney's office; Harryia, Ginny and Mrs. Trelawney are seated at a table. "Now, Ginny… what do you see here?" Mrs. Trelawney holds up a photo. "It's a picture of two people talking." "That's right. Can you make up a little story about what it is they're discussing?" "I'm not even supposed to be taking this test. I'm exempt." "You won't be graded." "Oh. Okay, then. Let's see… they've been going out for awhile,
and he's upset because other people keep asking her out, and she saying she can't help it if she's attractive and popular, and besides, nobody ever said they were going steady, and if he does want to go steady he's got to do a lot better than movie, burger, backseat, movie, burger, backseat, because there are plenty of guys with bigger backseats waiting to take her someplace nice!" "Very good, Ginny! Now, Hora, let's see if you can make up a story as vivid as your sister's." "It's Harryia." "I'm sorry…
Harryia. What do you see in the picture, Hara?" "Um, a herd of beautiful dragons flying across the plains." "Uh, there aren't any dragons. Its two people." "Last time I took one of these tests, they told me they were snowmen. They said they could be whatever I wanted." "That's a different test, dear. In this test, they're people, and you tell me what they're discussing." "Oh… I see. All right, then. It's a guy and a girl and they're discussing… a herd of beautiful wild dragons flying across the plains." Mrs. Trelawney scowls and slowly lowers the photo as Harryia smirks. Bell rings. Mr. Snape's class. "Class, we have a new student joining us today. Please welcome Harryia Potter. Harryia, raise your hand, please." Harryia raises hand. "Well, Harryia! As long as you have your hand raised. Mr. Snape chuckles evilly.
