At the breakfast table the next morning, Harry sat down and helped himself to some food.
"What do we have first?" Harry asked Hermione. Hermione pulled out her schedule and looked it over.
"We have... Herbology with the Hufflepuffs-"
"With Dudley," Harry groaned.
"It shouldn't be that bad," insisted Ron. "It might even be funny."
"Then we have Care of Magical Creatures with the Slytherins"
Ron made a face and swore loudly, resulting in several first years looking in their direction in alarm. "Ron! Watch your language," hissed Hermione while she reached over to grab a piece of toast.
"Hermione! Nobody cares, you know. Also, it's good to see that you are eating," said Ron watching Hermione as she took a bite of her breakfast.
"I've decided that there are other ways to defend elf rights rather than starving myself to death," replied Hermione.

Harry, Ron and Hermione made their way towards the greenhouses, where Professor Sprout was teaching the lesson. Harry noticed in mild amusement, all of the Hufflepuffs standing as far away from Dudley as possible. Dudley looked as...well...large as ever, with his specially made black wizard's robes hanging loosely around him, resulting in him resembling a baby hippopotamus.
Harry was suddenly distracted from his Dudley- gazing when he noticed Professor Sprout working with the most hideous looking plants he had ever seen.
"What the heck are those?" he heard a fellow Gryffindor ask, looking slightly nauseous.
"Bubotubers. You shall squeeze them and collect the pus for today," replied Professor Sprout, ignoring the revolted looks that the students, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff alike, shared.
As the teacher spoke, Dudley suddenly started to pale. He had obviously not expected his first class at Hogwarst to be so... hands on. Suddenly, he started to rock back and forth on his feet, looking dizzy. Then he looked around, slightly dazed, closed his eyes, toppled over, and landed with a thump on the ground.
Sorry...I know its short, but I've been really busy lately and its the best I could think of. If there are any suggestions/ideas, I would be delighted to try to incorporate them into the story. Also, feedback is always welcome. Now, please review! C'mon... it wont take long...
