Ron, Hermione, Fred, and George were holding their breath as Harry put his cup back down.
After smacking his lips a bit at the odd aftertaste Harry chuckled to himself and started humming as he got up. Harry glowed a blue, pulsed bright white before fading. The twins and Ron looked at each other with a smug look of accomplishment.
On the other hand, Hermione, was given a puzzle. Why did it fade from white when it should have turned to gold, before fading? It always gave 3 colors. Just like it did when Ron tried it, blue, pink, and gold. Blue being the potion activating, pink for the passion he felt, Gold was the finalization color. This train of thought brought a blush to her face as she thought back to her first kiss. With a quick look at Ron she sighed, then turned to watch what Harry was going to do.
By now the Great hall was silent and everyone could hear him singing. A few of the muggle-borns smiled at the song, while a couple sang along.
"I'm gonna be a mighty king"
He hummed as he passed the Hufflepuff table.
"So enemies beware"
Harry sang as he passed Ravenclaw.
"I'm gonna be the main event"
He stop at the Slytherin table
"Like no king was before"
He look back to see Snape glaring at him. He shrugged and made his way down the table.
"I'm brushing up on looking down"
He stopped behind Malfoy who turned and sneered at him.
"I'm working on my-"
Harry cocked his hand back and slapped Malfoy.
The echo of the smack stopped everyone's singing. Professor Snape and McGonagall stood up.
"POTTER!" the Professors shouted in unison. Snape was enraged, yet another Potter to cause harm during a prank. McGonagall was in utter shock and angry that one of hers would do such a thing unprovoked.
"50 points from Gryffindor, and Detention with me, for a month." Professor Snape snarled.
"Hem, hem." Professor Umbridge batted her eyes and smiled as she stood. "I believe I, shall take those detentions. He already has one with me to night as well as all of next week." Umbridge said in a sickly sweet voice.
Professor Snape look ready to explode. "I don't think so! Potter has assaulted one of my students! From my house, which I am the head of! " He growled.
As everyone was watching Snape and Umbridge no one but Malfoy and Zabini saw Harry pick up a steak knife.
"Free to run around all day" Harry continued. He then preceded in getting on top of the table, effectively grabbing everyone's attention once more.
"Mr Potter, get off that table, this instant." Professor McGonagall said angrily.
"Free to do it all my way" Harry continued to sing.
"Mr Potter if you don't stop this right now you will be expelled." Professor Umbridge said calmly with a smile.
"Kings don't need advice from little horn-bill for a start."
Harry snorted.
"Of course, how could we forget Prince Potter needs attention." Professor Snape sneered.
Harry smiled lifting the knife up as if examining it.
"Oh I just can't wait-."
He said before dragging the knife across his throat deeply. Screams erupted all throughout the great hall as the knife dropped and his blood began to soak his front, no one heard Harry say "to be king." When his body crumpled down on to the table he was engulfed with a golden glow.
Ron, Hermione, Fred, and George gasped. Hermione started shaking her head, silently screaming no. She could have tried harder to find something else to cheer him up. Ron, didn't know what to do or how to react, with his mouth gaping, he felt like it was all his fault. He's the one who poured it in his juice. The twins, sat frozen is fear and utter shame as their minds yelled at them that it was their potion that did this, their the one who suggested they give it to Harry. It was only suppose to be a prank. Neville wishing he had said something, fainted at the site of Harry's uniform becoming soaked in the bravest of reds.
