Chapter 4 up! Okay so I took the famous 'No need to call me sir' line from the book..:P But I don't own anything..so enjoy!
Harry was heading towards the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom with Ron. They found Hermione waiting outside. "Hello you two!" she said. "I have a feeling Snape is going to give us a ton of homework," she said resentfully.
As they entered the classroom, they saw Katniss and Peeta sitting there looking very uncomfortable. Hermione flushed behind her bushy hair. "Why are you so excited?" asked Ron looking annoyed. "I'm not!" Hermione shot back. Harry just smiled.
"Hi Katniss, Peeta," said Harry. "Hi Harry!" said Peeta brightly. Katniss just sort of nodded. Harry felt all squirmy inside. Maybe she thought he was stupid.
"How come you guys are here?" asked Hermione.
"Oh I asked Dumbledore if we could just sort of sit here and watch you guys. It all seems very interesting!" said Peeta. Hermione flushed again. "Oh I see. But you took an oath not to tell anyone about magic didn't you?" Katniss nodded.
"We'll see you after class," said Ron. They took their seats a little ahead of where Katniss and Peeta were sitting.
"Ron!" said Hermione crossly. "That was rude!"
Ron shrugged. "Just because it was Peeta," he muttered.
Hermione gave Ron a dirty look and took out her copy of Confronting the Faceless. Just then Snape entered the room. "I have not asked you to take out your books," said Snape closing the door. Hermione hastily put the book back into her bag.
"And you are?" he said gesturing towards Peeta and Katniss. "Um we asked Professor Dumbledore if we could sit and watch…he said it was fine," said Katniss slowly.
"Very well, but make one attempt to disrupt my class and you shall be out," sneered Snape. Katniss looked like she could have punched him.
Harry hid back a smirk.
"So today we will be practicing non-verbal spells," said Snape lazily. "Divide into pairs. One partner will attempt to jinx the other without speaking. The other will attempt to repel the jinx in equal silence. Carry on."
Harry and Ron were quick to form a pair. Hermione easily repelled Neville's jinx without uttering a word, but Snape ignored this. Peeta was watching Hermione with awe, and Katniss was looking a little sour. When Hermione saw Peeta looking, her cheeks turned bright red.
"What does Hermione see in that Peeta bloke?" said Ron. Harry shrugged. Snape was lingering around them.
"Pathetic, Weasley," he said. "A simple non-verbal spell! Here, let me show you how it's done..."
Without thinking Harry pointed his wand and yelled "Protego!"
His shield charm was so strong that Snape was knocked back. "Do you remember me telling you we were practicing non-verbal spells, Potter?" he said, regaining his balance.
"Yes," said Harry stiffly.
"Yes sir."
"There's no need to call me 'sir', Professor."
The words had escaped before he knew what he was saying. Several people gasped. Others, like Ron and Katniss were grinning.
"Detention, Potter. Saturday night, my office," said Snape. "I will not take cheek from anyone, not even the Chosen One."
Later, when they were outside Ron congratulated him. "That was brilliant mate!"
"You shouldn't have said it Harry," said Hermione frowning. "Hermione, he tried to jinx me," said Harry fuming.
Katniss and Peeta came out of the class just then.
"Hi everyone!" said Peeta. "I wish I was a wizard! You guys can do such amazing things! Especially you Hermione! That was great!"
Hermione blushed as red a tomato. Ron looked annoyed. Harry smiled at Katniss. "Did you like it?" Katniss smiled back. "Yeah, it was nice."
Harry felt squirmy inside again. Was he starting to get a crush on Katniss?
Later he spoke to Hermione and Ron. "I feel like we should tell them about Voldemort."
Hermione gaped. "We can't Harry!"
"Why not?" asked Ron. "It's not like they're part of it."
Harry nodded. "We'll tell them tomorrow."
The next day in a free period, the trio explained the situation to Peeta and Katniss. "That's terrible," said Peeta. Katniss shook her head in disgust. "But you must be special right? To survive his curse and everything," she said to Harry.
Harry felt himself go red for some stupid reason. "Uh, well no not really," he stammered out.
Katniss sighed. "This wouldn't be the best time to tell you about where Peeta and I come from. But I will anyway."
Katniss and Peeta told their new friends how it was back in their country. "Peeta and I are supposed to be heading off for our Victory Tour in only a few days," she ended.
Harry was shocked. "Why don't you do something about it?"
"There was a rebellion a long time ago. But the Capitol wiped out an entire district," said Katniss darkly.
"They have complete power over us," Peeta explained. Hermione sighed. "That's what our world is going to be like? The thought scares me," said Hermione.
Peeta just nodded sadly. The five of them sat in silence thinking about how evil had taken over world.
Harry was the first one to speak up. "Hey I have an idea. Something that's fun. Why don't you two try out for the Quidditch team? I'm captain this year," said Harry to Katniss and Peeta.
Katniss looked confused. Harry explained that it was a sport and that you didn't really need to have magical powers, all you needed to do was bewitch the broom.
"Yeah that sounds like fun. I don't mind trying!" said Katniss, and Peeta nodded eagerly. The five teenagers started chatting happily and at that moment, neither Voldemort nor President Snow could have taken that happiness and friendship away from them.
*****Meanwhile back in District 12*****
Mrs. Everdeen was frantically knocking on Haymitch's door. "Open up!" she shouted. Haymitch answered the door, but was obviously very drunk. Mrs. Everdeen shook her head in disgust. "Haymitch we have an emergency! Katniss and Peeta are both missing, and you're sitting here drunk!" she cried.
Haymitch came back to his senses. "They're missing?"
"Yes since the day before yesterday. I thought she would be with Peeta but I don't think anyones there either!" said Mrs. Everdeen.
"Oh those two really will be the death of me. With the Victory Tour coming up…Effie's gonna kill me," Haymitch muttered under his breath. "I'll go over and look around." Haymitch set off next door to investigate. Little did he know that at at that very moment five teenagers were laughing and joking about him.
Heehee what do you think about Haymitch? Chapter 5 will be up soon :)
