This is my first ever Harry Potter fanfic, so forgive me if it totally sucks. I thought of it after reading the summary of another story, but it has a completely different plot, so I am not stealing at all. I hope you like this story:)
Chapter One
Harry, Hermione, and Ron all walked into the great hall excitedly, knowing that Dumbledore was going to make a big announcement.
They sat down in the seats that they have sat in for the past few years at Hogwarts. They didn't touch their food while waiting for Dumbledore to start speaking.
They heard quiet whispers as the Headmaster walked to the front of the large room.
"I would like to make a very important announcement," he said, gaining everyone's attention. "Because the grades of most of the students are raising rapidly, we, the staff and myself, have decided that it might be nice to put computers in the library."
There were a lot of sighs of relief, because at least half of the people thought that something horrible was going to happen.
"But, the computers have been set up to be used only for research and communication with other students. There has been a chat program set up on each of the computers, and it is only accessible to students currently attending Hogwarts." the Professor said with a kind smile. "But if I find out that the program has been used for inappropriate things, I will be forced to disable it."
There were many gasps throughout the room, and disappointed looks.
"One more thing, you must have an average grade of C+ to use the computers for anything other than research." The headmaster had smiled once again, and sat back down to continue eating his dinner.
At Dumbledore's last comment, Ron began complaining to his friends.
"So I have to have an average grade of C+ to chat, huh? I think that I would rather talk to people in person that keep my grades that high," he said, leaning his head into his fist.
"Ronald, are you really that lazy? Couldn't you just try a little bit harder so you can have a little fun with these computers?" Hermione asked, sounding so annoyed at Ron.
"How is it lazy to go across the castle to talk to a friend about something?" Ron asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Well, I could tutor you if you want?" Harry, who hadn't said anything since dinner started, said.
"Harry, not to be rude or anything, but your grades are almost as bad as mine," Ron said, trying not to offend his best friend.
"Well, I could study, because I am not lazy, and then teach you what I learned in a very simple way," Harry explained, finally beginning to eat some of the food on his plate.
"Sounds simple enough, but we will be so busy studying that we won't have time for anything else. We don't want to end up like Hermione, do we?" the redhead asked with a questioning smile.
"Ronald!" Hermione shouted in annoyance. "I am sick and tired of your obnoxious comments!" She raised her want to his face with her nostrils flaring, and was about to cast a spell on him, when she felt the wand being pulled from her hand.
She turned around, to see McGonnagal standing there with a stern look on her face, holding up Hermione's want with a tight grip.
"Miss Granger, I would expect this sort of thing from Mr. Weasly or possibly even Mr. Potter, but you?" the professor said with fury in her eyes.
"Did you hear what Ronald had said about me?" she asked defensively.
"Yes, but that is still no excuse for strong magic," the professor said. "Five points from Gryffindor."
"Great, Ron. You caused Gryffindor to lose points. Nice move," Harry said angrily, because Ron had already lost many points so far during the year.
"Well, Hermione is the one that raised her wand at me. Technically, it is her fault."
"You should have known not to provoke her. You know bloody well that she is sensitive," Harry said, turning back to his food.
The rest of dinner went rather quietly after the big scene that they had created.
In the commons room later that night, they decided that they wold definitely go to the library after classes, to see the new computers.
Author's Note!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that chapter kinda sucked, but it was kind of an intro. I promise the next chapter will be much more eventful and longer! I hope you enjoy it so far:)
