A Leader Arises

Chapter 1: The Empire

Disclaimer: this was hard 2 write and the plot is a combined idea from Druggo-frog (read his stuff it's awesome) and me however it was only me who wrote it. Please R and R!! I don't own jackall.

"What have we got today Hazza?" Ron asked lazily.

"I'm fucked if I know. Something to do with fucking Slytherin, of course! Ever since Snape made Dumbledore give up Headmaster, all we've done is stuff that he wants to do" Harry exclaimed.

"Oh well, least there's no more Divination!!" Ron laughed.

"Good one, but I think I'd rather be back to the old way. I mean, even Trelawney didn't deserve to be levitated out her tower window, dropped and then stopped hard 2 inches above the ground. Come on!"

"Yeah I can see what you mean. Oh well, better get to headcount."

Ever since Snape had forced Dumbledore down into the dungeons and locked him there, he had been paranoid about someone going off and warning the Ministry of what had happened. He had even killed all the owls so no one could send messages to anyone outside of the school. So every morning all seven hundred and twenty two students had to go to the entrance hall to be counted and if 1 person was missing, Snape would take 5 people and torture them to the point of breaking every hour. But luckily, no one had been missing yet. After they had all been counted, the Dementors would come and take them all off to their classes. Yes, Snape had found a way of teaching the Dementors to teach a class. So there was no messing about in their classes. They were all forced to go through the classes. The Dementors kept a potion handy so that anyone that fainted was revived. There were also three extra classes, which meant they had to get up at three in the morning and get back to the dormitories at eleven at night, the school was pretty messed up.

lllllllllllllllllllll

Snape was obviously in a good mood this morning because he greeted them with a slimy grin on his face. But this obviously wasn't enough to dissuade him from his usual nastiness.

"Seven hundred and twenty one, seven hundred and twenty two. Very good you may all go to class now," he said greasily.

The Hogwarts trio (Harry, Ron and Hermione) now had to go to Dark Arts room seven (there were seven dark arts subjects) where they taught dark potions. They had Dementor 12 for this subject. Today they were learning how to make a Possessive Potion, which controlled the mind quite like the Imperius curse, but it was like the Polyjuice potion. You put a piece of someone in it and that is who the drinker serves.

Dementor 12 pointed at the board to show the ingredients and then they set to work in silence (after harry had fainted and been revived for the fifth time which was usual in every class but he was stable after the fifth potion).

Today was an unusual lesson because for the first time someone spoke. It was Harry he said "Did you see Snape this morning? I wonder what he was so happy about."

"Yeah I know, what was it all about? Ron whispered back.

But just then they could feel Dementor 12 watching them and they went back to their potion.

After they had left Dark Potions it was time for Curses, which was held in Dark Arts room 3 and taught by Dementor 14.

This class was probably the best class they got taught because it actually involved using their wands, which were usually kept under lock and key in Snape's office.

Today they continued on from yesterday's lesson that was on the Diablo curse which sets the receiver's head on fire. It seemed simple at first but when they all tried it they found it extremely hard.

"Jesus this is fucking hard" said Harry.

"No it's not Harry, it's just not simple that's all" said Hermione successfully lighting the snails head, on which they were practicing, on fire.

"Yes it fucking is, I can't see why they would want to fucking teach us this shit. I mean when would we ever want to set someone's head on fire?" Harry retorted.

"I dunno I could get used to setting Malfoy's head on fire" said Ron dreamily.

"Well that's one use, what else could we use it for?" said Harry.

"We don't know Harry. Just leave it for now and well talk about it at dinner okay, just concentrate on not fainting next lesson okay" said Hermione soothingly. (She had no intention of talking about it at all)

The problem was that at dinner no one was allowed to talk about anything. The only time they got to talk to each other without getting in trouble was when they got to the dormitories of a night and by then everyone was too exhausted to talk anyway.

lllllllllllllllllll

So the next day dawned without much excitement except for Neville tripping down the stairs and landing on his head, before getting up and laughing. They went down to breakfast where they talked about what they were doing that day (it was Sunday, Snape let them have a day of no work on Sunday). Today was different because Snape did something he had never done before, which was let them go to Hogsmeade, but they were still under the supervision of the Dementors which was a "bummer" as Ron put it.

"Something is seriously wrong with Snape if he's letting us got to Hogsmeade" Hermione said that morning.

"Hey, Hermione, who cares, we get away from school, that's all that matters and at least we can buy some Honeydukes stuff" he said with his mouth hanging open.

"Yeah he's got a point Hermione, just stop stressing and just go with the flow for once okay" said Harry softly.

"Alright I will but I just feel"- she started

"Hermione" said Harry and Ron in unison.

"Oh sorry guys, you're right. Let's go to Honeydukes for some chocolate. Hey, my shout" she said while smiling.

"Rock on Hermione, you're the best" yelled Ron.

After they had finished stuffing themselves full of Honeydukes chocolate, they decided to head back to the castle for a bit of a rest and talk.

When they walked past Snapes office however, they heard him talking to someone.

"But master I need them in case the Dementors fail, if the Dementors fail who knows what will happen?" he said slowly and quietly.

The sound of a voice came but they were unable to hear it properly.

"You will, thankyou master you are ever grateful" he said with excitement in his voice. After that they heard him moving towards the door.

"Run" said Harry.

They were just about to go around the corner when they heard Snape say "Stop right there, what do you think you three are doing huh?"

"We were on our way to the dormitories sir" said Ron truthfully.

"Why were you running?" Snape said slimily.

"Because we realised we had forgotten to feed Ron's turtle, and he's going to die because Ronald has been very neglectful the last few days" said Hermione quickly with a sidelong look at the other two

"So we need to go now sir" said Harry catching on.

"Fine whatever, go but if you were doing anything else watch out, understand?" he said coldly.

"Yes sir" they said quickly.

With that they left Snape look very ugly outside his office. They didn't say anything until they got to the dormitories.

"What was that all about guys" said Ron with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Yeah what does he mean by the Dementors failing?" said Harry softly.

"Guys I think its time we did some old fashioned snooping around and look for something we can get Snape with. What do you think?" said Hermione excitedly.

"Good idea Hermione" said Ron and Harry together.
