Pyrotechnic Tempers

By Crimson & Chrome 42

Summary— What happens when the staff at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry get fed up with the feud between Harry Potter, his two best friends, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy and his friends?

They lock them in the library for them to work out their differences once and for all—But uh, oh! Ginny Weasley gets locked in with them, what will happen when she's had enough of all the bickering going on?


Disclaimer—I don't own Harry Potter or its related characters (although I wish I did) I don't own anything or anyone else that you might find familiar—so don't sue—I doubt you'd win.


Prologue: Fed Up

"Oh honestly! Why can't they just get along?" exclaimed Professor Minerva McGonagall after breaking up another fight between Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Draco Malfoy and his cronies. "They're now on the same side—Well Draco is…"

"It's just the way of things. Draco and Weasley were brought up to despise each other. And Malfoy is jealous of Potter." Answered Professor Severous Snape, he had also helped break up the fight.

"I don't care!" Burst out Professor McGonagall. "They should at least tolerate each other—or ignore one another, instead of fighting. Fighting amongst our selves is not going to defeat the Dark Lord!"

"You don't think I know this? But there is nothing we can do."

McGonagall's face was pensive. "I wouldn't be so sure of that Severous. I wouldn't be so sure of that at all…"

"What—" Began Snape but before he could get the rest of his sentence out Professor McGonagall was out the door of the staff room and gone.


A.N. This is my first attempt to write a Harry Potter fic, so please be helpful not harmful. This is obviously a short chapter. I'm trying to establish an important part of the plot with this Prologue. There will be more on the setting in the second or third chapter, I hope. Please R&R!
