Harry Potter
1
Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting at the Gryffindor Table. Harry glared at Draco Malfoy, for he could see him making fun of him for fainting on the train. He could see Lupin, too, talking to Professor McGonagall.
'Look, Sirius Black, again, in the newspapers!' said Hermione, showing Harry and Ron the front page of the Daily Prophet. It showed a mad man, with long, brown, curly hair and a pale, gaunt face.
'Everyone's going mental over it! That's why Katie Bell has already gotten a detention for it – she was talking about it in the middle of Potions!' exclaimed Ron, his mouth full of mashed potato.
Harry didn't really understand why everyone was talking about it. Yes, Sirius Black must have been a dangerous, dark wizard, but surely, why did everyone seem so worried about it? It's not like he was going to walk through the Hall doors in a flash.
Suddenly, everyone screamed in shock. Harry turned around, just in case it was Sirius Black. But no. It was Fred and George Weasley. They had just set off one of their fireworks by an accident.
'Sorry, we didn't mean to do that!' shouted Fred.
'They should really be more careful!' snapped Hermione.
'They do it all of the time, it is not an accident, whatever they say!' exclaimed Ron.
'Yeah, I don't think that is was an accident,' said Harry, laughing.
'What is so funny!' snapped Hermione.
'Nothing, nothing,' grinned Harry, winking at Ron. He winked back, his long, red hair covering his eyes a bit.
Harry saw this. He looked a tiny bit like Ginny Weasley, his sister. Just as he was going to say this, however, a boy with dreadlocks said it for him.
'Hey, Ron, you look like your sister, Ginny! You should have had a haircut!'
'Shut up, Lee,' grumbled Ron.
Lee Jordan winked at Fred and George, who laughed and winked back, saying, 'I can't even tell the difference!'
