Ch 1 Dumbledore's office
It was a bright sunny day, everyone else was outside the castle, enjoying a free Sunday they earned after a long week at school. Their first week at school. Such a long week. Everyone was enjoying themselves, everyone but Harry.
Harry stood in Dumbledore's office. He stood facing Dumbledore's back waiting for something to happen. Dumbledore had called Harry to his office, but hasn't said anything yet.
Finally, Dumbledore lifted his half moon glasses and smiled. His bright blue eyes twinkled under the moonlight for a moment and he turned to Harry who was staring at him.
'Is there something you wish to tell me?' asked Dumbledore slowly.
'No sir, nothing.' said Harry still staring at him.
'Are you sure?' asked Dumbledore again, looking very suspiciously at him.
'Yes Professor.' said Harry. 'I'm sure.'
'Really? So you're going to leave your poor headmaster here to figure out what you're want to ask him, aren't you. And you are going to laugh at him if he can't figure it out. Am I right?' Dumbledore said.
'What makes you think that I've got something to ask you.' said Harry trying not to sound angry.
'What makes me think you've got something to ask me? What'd you mean? It's obvious, isn't it? This morning at the Great Hall, you were staring at me, I asked Professor Mcgonagall, she reckons you've got a question. Ok Harry, out with it.' Dumbledore demanded.
'Professor, I swear I didn't-' started Harry.
'I've giving you one last chance. What do you want to ask me?' said Dumbledore again, looking really angry. Harry cleared his throat.
'Alright, I'll ask you. But don't tell anyone about it.' said Harry, 'Do you know where I might find the boy's bathroom?'
'Oh, so that's what you want to know.' said Dumbledore as he gave a small chuckle.
'Don't laugh, I've only gone to the girl's bathroom where Moaning Mrytle lives, and the prefect's bathroom.' said Harry again softly. He quickly covered his mouth, he wasn't supposed to go to the prefect's or the girl's bathroom. He had gone in to the girl's bathroom in the second year to brew the polyjuice potion and the prefect's bathroom in the forth year. Dumbledore chuckled softly again.
'Oh Harry, Harry, Harry. You've been here for years, haven't you found out where the boy's bathroom is?' Dumbledore giggled.
'Nope.' said Harry.
'Honestly... Harry, there's no boy's bathroom here at Hogwarts, only the prefects bathroom and the girl's bathroom, and the one that I saw once that disappeared...' said Dumbledore. He paused to think, then his expression suddenly changed. 'It disappeared! What happened to it?' Dumbledore looked really angry. He walked forward to pull Harry's hair.
'I swear I don't know. One minute it was there and it was gone. It was like magic!' Harry yelled, trying to explain as Dumbledore pulled him to his cupboard, threw Harry in and locked him inside.
'There's no such thing as magic!' Dumbledore said angrily, spraying spit all over.
Harry sat in the cupboard for a long time and waited patiently, he wasn't giving in. Finally, when Dumbledore opened to let him out. It was already nine in the night, as on his watch.
'Get out of here, you've dirtied my cupboard. I need to sleep, move.' said Dumbledore as he pushed Harry out and climbed in. 'Don't disturb me, get back to your common room now. You shall not disturb my beauty sleep...musn't have dark rings around my eyes...'
Harry quickly walked out and met Ron on his way back to their common room.
'Harry! Where were you? Pigging out at the Great Hall all this while? Why are you wearing glasses?' Ron asked.
'Ron, I always wear glasses.' said Harry.
'I didn't notice that.' said Ron fiddling with his wand.
'And in case you didn't notice, I just walked out of Dumbledore's office-' started Harry.
'He must be guarding something, something in Dumbledore's office. The philosopher's stone, perhaps?' Hermione's voice came from the stairs behind them.
'Herm-' said Harry but the stairs started moving. The three of them held on to the sides for support. Suddenly there was a loud crash and Hermione screamed. Harry and Ron watched her as she ran down to retrive her books that had fallen off when the stairs changed.
'Harry!' said Ron looking surprised.
'What?' asked Harry, annoyed.
'Do you have that... that scar?' asked Ron pointing at Harry's forehead.
'Ron, what's the matter with you, you're acting very odd.' said Harry.
'Really? What's wrong with that? Besides, I have a stomach ache.' said Ron as he walked off. Hermione came hurrying up a few seconds later.
'Where's Ron?' asked Hermione. 'I thought he was here a few min- and holy cricket! You're Harry Potter, I'm Hermione Granger.'
'Whatever.' said Harry. They both headed back to the Gryffindor common room. Ron was already sitting on the crouch, reading a letter. Neville was walking around quickly, looking very panicky.
'I've lost my toad Hermione, help me look for it... Trevor! Trevor!' Neville said Tearfully.
'Harry, Mum's wrote to me a letter, she's asking you whether you wanted to stay over for christmas this year.' said Ron waving a piece of parchment in his hands.
'But Ron, Christmas is months away.' said Harry.
'Is that a "no"?' asked Ron looking rather disappointed.
'That's not what I meant, I- Ron?' asked Harry but Ron had already walked off.
'What an idiot.' Harry heard Hermione saying, 'Neville, do you remember where you had last seen Trevor?'
'Errr... I saw it sitting on the kettle in my home a few days ago. Hadn't seen it then, and...' Neville was saying. Harry headed to the boy's dormitary.
Harry and Ron was sitting in the great hall the next morning as Professor Mcgonagall gave out the new timetables.
'Awww... Potions today... thought we could drop that.' said Ron to Harry, 'Didn't expect a Outstanding for potions, did you?'
'Well least we've got half a day off.' said Harry. But Oliver Wood popped out of somewhere.
'Quidditch training today, I'm going to train you all up so that you can join my team when you leave school, the Wood United League! Hip, Hip, Hurray! Go Wood United...'
'Bloody hell!' said Ron.
'Wood! What are you doing here?' yelled Harry.
'Sorry, missed you guys so much.' said Wood. 'I've got Angelina, Katie, Fred and George already. Ron, you can be my reserve, Harry, I want you as my seeker. Ginny can be the other chaser. Wow! We'll make the best team in the whole world.' Wood started staring dreamily into the air.
'What about me?' asked Hermione walking towards the Gryffindor table.
'You don't play Quidditch.' said Wood.
'Well... I do now.' said Hermione.
'Wicked.' said Ron.
'Wow, look at the books you are carrying! You must the most-books-quidditch-player in a century.' said Wood.
'In two centuries, you mean. I read about it in Hogwarts: A history.' said Hermione.
'Anyway, see you later, remember this afternoon. Don't be late.' said Wood as he disappeared somewhere.
'Oh no, we've double transfiguration today.' said Neville.
Transfiguration went horribly wrong, first, Harry transfigured his chicken into a pig with feathers, then Ron made his chicken disappear. Neville killed his chicken. Not surprisingly, only Hermione managed to turn hers into a duck.
The walked across the pumpkin patch for care for magical creatures. Hagrid stood beside his hut and smiled at them when they arrived.
'All righ' Harry.' he said waving at Harry.
'Hi Hagrid. Yeah, I'm fine, what's there to be wrong? If there's anything wrong, it will be wrong.' said Harry without thinking as Hagrid continued waving and smiling at him.
'Yeh all righ' then, Harry?' said Hagrid waving at Harry.
'Yes, I said I'm fine.' said Harry. Hagrid smiled and waved at Harry again.
'Training for Witch weekly's most charming smile award? You great brainless oaf.' Malfoy's sneering voice drawled. Hagrid covered his face and started sobbing. He ran back to his hut.
'Hagrid! Hagrid!' yelled Harry but Hagrid had already slamed the door shut. Harry turned back to Malfoy.
'So, it's true, what they said on the train, Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts. This is Crabbe and Goyle, and I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy.' said Malfoy.
'I know that, Malfoy.' said Harry.
'Is it true? Have we met before?' asked Malfoy suspiciously.
'Shut up Malfoy.' said Harry starting to flare up.
'No, I won't. Besides, if anyone cares to notice, some wizard families are better than others, you don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort, perhaps, I can help you with that.' said Malfoy holding his hand up for Harry to shake.
'Get lost, Malfoy.' said Harry. Malfoy sneered again and walked away with Crabbe and Goyle.
'Wicked! Harry, you've met him before? Dad reckons his family is one of the darkest-' said Ron.
'Yeah, I know that.' said Harry, 'What's wrong with you people anyway?'
Ron shrugged.
'Harry, have you seen my prefect's badge? I've been made a prefect, you know.' said Ron.
Harry and Ron ran up to the common room for the broomsticks for quidditch practice. Harry quickly pull out his Firebolt from his cupboard. Ron looked over at Harry and his spiltted into a huge smile.
'Harry, wow! The new Firebolt, how'd you get it? It's the fastest of all.' said Ron.
They walked down and met Hermione and Ginny waiting for them.
'What took you?' asked Ginny. They walked into the quidditch field and found Wood.
'Ok listen up. We have two new chasers, there were only one who's was on out team last year,-' said Wood.
'How'd you know all that stuff? You weren't here last year.' said Harry.
'He wasn't?' asked Ron. Wood glared at them.
'As I was saying, last year, our Ginny was a seeker, she's now our new chaser. I'm your captain. I'll train you all up, but I can't play, Dumbledore just won't bend the rules, like he did a few years back when Slytherin captain Marcus Flint was able to play after he graduated. Ok, Ron can still be keeper. We have two lousy beaters, they won't join our Wood United league after the graduate. And of course our seeker who never fails to catch the snitch, except once in my seventh year.' Wood bellowed.
'Well, he still did.' said Hermione.
'Shut up Herm-own-ninny.' said Wood, 'Herm-own-ninny is one of the new chasers, the other kid is not here, what's his name? The round boy.'
'Sorry I'm late, dozed off, did I missed anything?' said the round boy running over with a broomstick. It was Neville.
'Ahhh... we can't have him! We'll lose.' Hermione screamed.
'Ah, I remember, Longbottom, seems only yesterday, your granny was here riding on her broomstick, and I remember her asking me to let you in the team.' said Wood.
'It sure was yesterday, did I missed anything?' Neville repeated.
'Yes, a girl was taken, by me, as a reserve in Wood United League.' said Wood.
'Wicked!' said Ron.
'Can we start now?' asked Harry, eagerly mounting his Firebolt.
Snap.
'Hi Harry! I'm Colin Creevy, I'm in Gryffindor too!' said Colin holding up his camera preparing to take another picture.
'No taking pictures of our new seeker, I want to keep it a secret.' said Wood.
'New seeker?' asked Harry. Ginny saw Colin, walked over and started talking to him. Harry was able to catch some phrases before Wood ushered him to move along and was sure he had heard, 'Harry Potter Fan Club'.
We were having dinner at the great hall that evening. Harry was trying to make sure he didn't look into Dumbledore eyes again. He didn't want to spend another few hours in Dumbledore's cupboard.
But Dumbledore was too busy enjoying the attention to look at Harry. He sat at the teacher's table doing up spells over the sea of admiring students.
Dumbledore conjured up a Patronus and everyone started clapping. Dumbledore smiled looking pleased.
'Wow. That's really great. I've never seen anyone do that before.' said Hermione sacarstically.
'Really? Harry, have you seen one before? I've never seen, it's really cool, not every wizard can do that, you know?' said Ron clapping as Dumbledore conjured it again.
'Ron, we practiced that during the D.A. thing last year, remember?' whispered Hermione.
'What do you want to see right now?' asked Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling. Ron's hand shot up immediately.
'I want you to make someone appear.' he shouted. Hermione tutted.
'Ok, I'll make your brother appear. Make way everyone, Accio Percy Weasley!' Dumbledore shouted. At first, there was nothing, then there was a scream and Percy came crashing through the wall.
'Excuse me, I was a prefect and head boy of this school, you cannot do this to me, I shall not be treated like that. Some people just don't listen to prefects. I'll make you write lines. I'm the new Mr. Fudge personal assistant and I say that you-'
'Can you make him disappear?' shouted a Hufflepuff Harry didn't recgonise.
'Oh, of course I can.' said Dumbledore, he pointed his wand and yelled, 'Stupefy!' A jolt of red light blasted out of his wand and shot towards Snape instead. The next second, Snape flew and crashed through the wall and disappeared into the darkness.
'Errr... oops... Ok everyone, it's nine already, move it, back to your common rooms, off to bed. I need to sleep.' Dumbledore said and walked off.
Nobody moved, Percy was still talking to himself.
'... wait till Mr. Fudge hears about this. I'm his personal assistant, I used to be Mr. Crouch's...'
'Hurry up, off to bed, I need the hall, I've got ballet practice next.' Snape said emerging from the darkness, 'Get back or I'll deduct points from your houses.'
'Gryffindors! Follow me!' said Percy.
'He still thinks that he's a prefect, that Percy.' said Ron to Harry as they walked back to their common room, 'At least now I don't have to lead them.'
'Is he on talking terms with your dad now?' asked Harry.
'You mean Percy, he came back, right after Fudge- Harry? Is that you? Where were you? We were in the great hall, did you know? Dumbledore was showing us some stuff he could do, oh, you missed it. Where were you anyway? Having detention with Lockhart?' asked Ron laughing.
'What do you mean? I was with you all along. I was in the great hall.' said Harry.
'Wicked! I didn't know.' said Ron, his ears turned pink.
'What an idiot.' said Hermione as she swept past.
