The Slytherins' Revenge
Summary: Harry tries to discover what the Slytherins' are up too after he notices Draco Malfoy following him around.
Characters: Basically all of Hogwarts
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Never have and never will.
Ummm, I would say that the story is seen through Harry's point of view, but it's really a third person narrative.
Ok, I wrote that story when I was in 8th grade, and I will be in 12th in September, so please do not mind the "childish" style or any syntax mistakes ; I haven't changed anything since I first wrote it. I pretty much put that story up for fun, but still, enjoy!
Chapter One
The Problem
"They must be planning something…" Harry thought as he and his best friend Ron Weasly were walking their long way to the Divination Tower. During breakfast that morning, Harry had considered the Slytherins acting very weirdly, like they were up to something. When Draco Malfoy and his three friends, fat Goyle and Crabbe and ugly Pansy Parkinson, passed in front of the Griffindor table, Harry thought Malfoy was going to do his show of "Harry faints because he sees Dementors" but he was wrong. Draco, like his fellow Slytherins, seemed very interested in him today.
"-Hey Harry! What's the matter with you?
-Er… Nothing Ron. Just thinking.
-About what?" But before Harry could answer, he continued, murmuring. "Not You-Know-Who?
-No, I'll tell you…
-Welcome class, Professor Trelawney said, today my crystal ball told me I would be teaching palmistry. Open your books page 95 and…"
But Harry wasn't listening anymore. He starting to doze off in the sizzling hot room smelling strongly of rose perfume but the thing that was keeping him up was the Slytherins' strange attitude. "Why would they start liking me all of the sudden? Harry thought, Unless they're plotting against me…"
"-Uh… Harry… Are you sure you're all right? Ron asked looking slightly worried.
-What? Oh, everything's all right.
-Okay. Do you want to start then?
-Start what?
-Hand reading, my dear. Hold out your hand, now."
Professor Trelawney was wearing, as usual, gigantic glasses, big necklaces and pink robes that made her look like a bug. Harry held out his hand though he knew what was going to happen next.
"-Oh dear, Professor Trelawney squeaked, you have the shortest life line I ever saw here."
Some students held their breaths, others made small screaming noises but Ron and Harry had to cough to hide their laughing.
When class was over, Harry and Ron went to find Hermione for their next class History of Magic.
"-So what did you want to tell us? Hermione asked. She was carrying a big and heavy bag of books.
- Not now, Harry replied as he saw a gang of Slytherin first years approaching, I'll tell you in class.
- Don't you think they're acting weirdly? Ron said as the gang passed them looking straight at Harry.
-Oh leave them alone, Hermione said shrilly, they're just doing that to look interesting."
In class they seated themselves in the back and while Hermione took notes on Giant Wars, Harry told them his worries.
"-I just don't understand what they're up to, Harry said after he had finished his story.
-Me neither, Ron said, but maybe they're trying to look stupid.
-I don't think so. It has to do something with me but I just can't see what. It looks like my scar and the Dementors aren't popular anymore." Ron almost burst out laughing. "Is there something wrong with me? Harry asked angrily.
-Oh no, Ron lied quickly, Neville fell off his chair, that's all. You're right though, he continued, I don't know what they're up to either.
-Oh, isn't it obvious! Hermione said as the bell rang.
-What?! Harry and Ron said together.
-The Slytherins are jealous of you Harry.
-Wait…, Ron said, first you say that they're trying to look interesting and now you say that they're jealous…
-Well I was wrong.
-…And I think you don't have to be a Know-It-All, he continued ignoring her.
-Fine, she replied shortly, find it out yourselves then if you're so intelligent. I'm leaving.
-Gee, Ron, Harry said after Hermione had left, for once you could have waited. She might've said something helpful.
-Be on her side and go and see her then, Ron said stiffly. If I'm not helping you, don't come and get me because I won't listen. Ron took his bag and left.
-Ron! Harry called out, Hermione!
Well? What do you think? Please review, and don't forget to check my other story, Beyond the Veil, which is, honestly, much better. I write much longer chapters now! Gosh, this one was really short!
Chapter Two will be uploaded next week.
