BMS: As they're 11 It probably doesn't matter but this just feels like it should be a Harry/ multi to me. Daphne/Pansy both w/ maybe Tracy too. Just putting it out there.
Response: Okay your right, I am not doing anything with pairings yet. They are too young. That will not come until the third year. Maybe the summer beforehand. But as a for him having more than one girlfriend at the same time. I don't think that will happen. A couple of reasons for this, In a Pureblood society would that be accepted from a young man. Also, I don't think that is Harry. He is respectful of his friends. Dating all three at the same time is just disrespectful I have plans they may change they may not. But thanks for the Support.
Pokémon Guest: Am I going to have Voldermort be the good guy?
Response: If I told you that it would ruin all of the books. So I don't think I could tell you that.
It was a cool Saturday afternoon. whilst Harry and Tracey were by the lake, something much different was happening up in the Gryffindor common room. It was a very cluttered room. With collapsed armchairs, study materials and homework parchment were scattered around with a large roaring fire in the centre of the chimney.
"RONALD!"
The whole room went silent.
"What Percy?" Ron asked.
"You are to come with me now!" He snapped.
"Why?" he asked in a bored tone.
"Don't you give me that cheek!"
Fred and George hoisted him up by the armpits. Then dragged him out the common room. As he a girl from the Quidditch team spoke loudly.
"Good, maybe they will be able to straighten that little idiot out."
Ron scowled as he was dragged out.
"You never saw us." Fred said to The Fat Lady; a large woman in a pink dress, on a portrait.
She gave them a pointed nod. Normally she would not allow such a shenanigans. This time, however, she knew the shame the boy was bringing to Gryffindor. The three brothers dragged him down to the fourth floor, going through many secret passages. They opened up a mirror and dragged their brother through it.
"Now little brother! How can you have been so stupid!" George yelled at him.
"What could you possibly mean!?" He yelled back.
"Ronald you know perfectly well what we mean! You and your little friends have gotten us so far into the negatives. By the love of Merlin, it is a new house record. No, that not a good thing. You have brought shame on the whole family. I asked our Mother to let us deal with you. Now if you cause us any more issues." Fred cut him off.
"We will let the rest of the house deal with you and your little friends." He said darkly.
"But it's them dirty snakes." He whined
"Don't take the bait." Percy snapped.
"But Potter..."
"From what I can tell, it's only you and your little friends he does not get on with. Just because he won't be your friend. Just drop it he does not like you. You're the one going around trying to attack them and keep getting your butt handed to you. I would back off if I was you, you already have detention with Snape until Christmas. So it is best you just avoid antagonising any Slytherin's." Percy said.
"Bu..."
Fred interrupted. "Or if you have to don't get caught."
Ron smiled.
"But with your brains little brother, that is impossible." George said.
Ron scowled and opened the mirror and stormed off.
"Well, we tried to help him." Fred said disappointedly.
"Weasley!"
Ron turned around and saw Oliver Wood, with two other fifth years and a second year named Cormac McLaggen the Gryffindor seeker. Two-fourth year Alicia Spinet and Angelina Johnson Gryffindor chasers. Along with another second year, Katie Bell the third and final chaser on the house team.
"What Oliver?" He snapped in an angry tone.
"Wow someone has no manners!" Alicia said.
"What can I do for you?" He asked in an angry tone.
"Oh don't worry we are here to set you on the right path." Just as he said this. Dean, Seamus and Liam stepped out from behind the group as well.
The older students raised their wands. "Guys a little help?" They shook their heads and looked sad raising their wands to him as well. Ron let out a scream of terror as ten jets of light hit him and everything went dark. The ten students looked at him with a look of distaste and headed back to their common room.
"I appreciate you taking house pride over friendship." Oliver said nodding to the three first years.
"He not really a friend. We just stick with him, well he's an ass and has a nasty side best to avoid it, but us three don't want anything to do with him anymore." Seamus said as the other two nodded.
"I think that might be for the best. Well at least tell he learns to wise up a bit." Oliver looked at them.
"So, never then." Dean said. As the three walked off when they had reached the common room to get on with some homework.
"Yeah, that's about right." Oliver said.
On their way back to the common room the three Weasley brothers found him passed out. Fred and George walked on but Percy levitated him and took him up to the hospital wing. He knew this was no Slytherin attack. But by their own. Percy had to admit at least them Slytherin's stuck together and were all decent to each other. Maybe that's why they have won the house cup and Quidditch Cup, the most times in Hogwarts history. Maybe Gryffindor needed to take a leaf out of the book of snakes. But he knew his house would never do anything the Slytherin's did.
The next day was Sunday and seeing as though it was Tracey birthday, Harry had hoped what he had owl ordered for her yesterday would come in time. Everyone of the first year Slytherin had gotten Tracey something she seemed to be in a much better mood since yesterday. Harry had told her that what he got her should be arriving today. When she asked him what it was he just gave her an evil smirk.
"Harry Potter! Now if you got me something dark and dangerous I will."
"Fall in love with him." Theo teased.
"No, I will fucking curse you into oblivion."
"That's fighting talk young lady." Harry teased poking her in the ribs.
"Shut it junior."
When they got to the great hall. The post had started to arrive. Harry saw a single white Owl fly in, and Harry smiled to himself.
When it landed in front of Tracy, she was shocked.
"It's got nothing." She said a little confused.
"Why, Happy Birthday Tracey. Its a girl" Harry smiled.
"Oh, Harry it's beautiful!"
"Its a girl by the way. Obviously he meant the snowy white owl.
Oh, Harry, you're amazing." She exclaimed Harry was sitting next to her and she pulled him into a side on hug. As well as quickly kissing him on the cheek.
"Well, I don't know about that." He teased.
She punched him in the side. "Shut it you, if I say you're amazing. Then it means your amazing."
"Why yes mam." Harry teased and the others laughed.
The rest of Tracy birthday passed very casually them all hanging out and playing games. But what really made the day was the rumours they heard. Apparently, a huge mixture of Gryffindor had cursed Weasley. Because now he was in the hospital wing. But it had apparently been most of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Along with a few others. Even a few first years were involved apparently.
(Time skip!)
It was Monday evening and Harry was down on the Quidditch pitch with Flint, waiting for the rest of the team.
"Now Harry a few of them might be a bit sceptical, about a first year being on the team. But don't ignore them, show them your skill. Maybe a pimple jinx or two to shut them up."
"No stunning spell?" Harry asked in a sad tone.
"Wait you can do that? That's a fourth or fifth-year spell."
He nodded.
"Well yeah go ahead. If they piss you off."
"I might take that free pass." Harry smirked.
When the rest of the team had arrived none of them seemed to complain about the first year joining the team. They all welcome Harry happily and treated him as one of them. Well, that was all except for Montague who said Harry had to prove himself before he would accept him. Instead of cursing him Harry decided to just do it. Rashly cursing someone was not very Slytherin, it was more of a Gryffindor thing. And prove himself Harry did by the end of it Montague was treating Harry like a brother. There was a sort of Brotherhood feel to the team. Where if one of them had a problem they all did. If one of them was attacked, then the whole team would come after you. They would hunt down anyone doing harm to one of their own. True this was a Slytherin thing altogether, but some Slytherin's who were united outside the common room. Hated each other inside. This was extremely rare for a Slytherin to hate each other. Sure they had disagreements, but they all got over it in the end.
(Time skip!)
Time passed at Hogwarts and Harry awoke on October the 30th and realised he had been at Hogwarts for two months nearly. The castle felt more like home than Privet Drive ever had.
"Morning Harry." Daphne called, as Harry entered the common room.
"Morning. Breakfast?" Harry asked.
She nodded in response and they headed up to the great hall. Daphne latched onto Harry's arm. In a sign of friendship. When they got to the great hall they found it deserted, they were the only two up yet, they decided to sit down and food appeared.
"Hey, Harry?"
"Yeah Daph?"
She took a deep breath. "I know this is not my place. But I was wondering are you sure you want to go to the feast tomorrow. You know it is the anniversary of your parent's deaths and all. I could stay in the common room with you?"
"Actually that would be really nice. But are you sure you don't want to miss the feast?"
"By what my sister has told me, it more of a holiday to please the mu... I mean Muggle-born's. To make them feel 'welcome'. The old fool loads it out with sweets and everything. It's pathetic, it is not a time for that. It's pathetic it's about remembering the dead. Not begging for sweets."
"I totally agree. Oh and you know I don't care about the word Mudblood. Yes, I know my mother was a Muggle-born. But at least she tried to distance herself from the Muggle world. Also apparently she was nothing like Granger. She was one of the few decent ones. According to Professor Snape. But honestly, I have no problems with that word. She's gone where it can't affect her. I can't disappoint them. True I miss them, yeah but I don't at the same time now that I have amazing friends. It just you can't miss what you don't remember. Yeah, I wish they were still alive. But if they where I probably would have never had become such great friends with you."
"Well, I don't know you still might have been a Slytherin. You definitely belong with us." Daphne beamed.
"Even if I were raised by hot-headed Gryffindor's?"
"Even if you were raised by hot-headed Gryffindor's." She smiled again. "Anyway what our first class today?"
"We don't have class till 1:30. We have charms."
"Then why the hell are we up!"
"Hey, I am always up around now. But I don't know about you." He poked her in the side.
She pouted. "You're mean to me."
"No meaner than I am to anyone else in Slytherin."
"So not very."
"Exactly."
"God Harry I still can't believe you are up at this time every day."
"Stop complaining or I will see to it, you are sent to live with the Gryfindorks."
"But I would miss you too much." She pouted.
"Well, I suppose I could think about it." He teased.
"Oh shut up. When will the others get up."
"Around 12."
"What!"
"Yep."
"So I have you all to myself tell then." She smiled slyly.
"I guess."
As they had finished eating she dragged him off. When they left the Great Hall Weasley came in with Longbottom in tow. Harry tripped Longbottom as they walked passed, and he fell into Weasley.
"Oh, Harry your so mean." Daphne laughed coldly as she saw the two boys fall. Longbottom whimpered and Weasley scowled.
"I learnt from the best."
"Who Pansy?"
"Well, she okay. But you can be very, let's say creative."
She giggled actually giggled.
"Oh, you certainly know, how to flatter a girl."
"Wait you're a girl?" Harry teased
She slapped him around the head playfully, as they headed up the marble staircase.
"Oi! That may be a joke you can use on Millie but not me. I actually have style. You have some taste, however, Pansy and I need to give you a proper lesson."
"Give me a break that was my first day in the wizarding world."
"Well, I suppose you did well then."
"Yeah at least I don't have the rags the Dursley's gave me."
"Yeah, that's true. God how did they fit you. You described your cousin as a baby hippo."
"Honestly that still eludes me."
"He will probably be like a baby whale when I get home." Daphne laughed.
They had wandered up to the seventh floor. Neither had said where they were going tho. They walked to the corridor for the room or requirement and stopped. Harry wandered up and down three times and the door appeared. They entered and the door slid back into stone.
"So what spell shall we do today dear?" She blushed slightly, but recovered her self almost instantly.
"Well let's do one of the more questionable ones." She said in a sly tone.
"Sure sounds fun. Which one."
"Bone breaking curse."
"That could be useful. When 0ayback time comes for the Dursley's."
"My, my, my have I turned Harry Potter dark."
"Maybe." He poked his tongue out.
Harry went and got the dummy. "Okay, it will turn red if we cast it correctly."
Daphne nodded. "Okay, the command is, Brandusbrakus."
Harry nodded in response and went over to join her.
They took turns in practising in, but it kept fizzling out. Around 10 Harry had finally got it right and cast it successfully a few times. They had entered the room around 8:30. Around 11 Harry had helped Daphne cast it successfully as well.
"Well, that was fun."
"Very much so." Harry responded.
They sat in the room and chatted about Charms, and how Flitwick was actually going to let them try something today. Even tho they could all do it. Because it was very basic for what they had been practising. Around 11:45 they headed down to Lunch. They got to the great hall at 12 and sat down. The others came in around 12:15.
"Where have you two been?" Pansy asked the two.
"Practising." Daphne said plainly.
A few nodded in acknowledgement whilst the others just sat down. At 12:30 food appeared.
"Problems in the lion's den." Harry nudged Draco, who smirked.
To Harry and his friends who could see, were disgust by, Weasley eating like a pig. Even his two new lackeys Granger and Longbottom looked slightly appalled. A lot of Gryffindor was giving them distasteful looks. Around 1 they went down to the Dungeons to get their bags. For their only class, they had that they had that day, besides Astronomy at midnight. They got their bags and their book and headed up to the Charms classroom.
"Ah, Slytherin come in, come in." Professor Flitwick squealed excitedly as they walked in. Harry sat next to Tracy at the front of the room.
After he took the register, he asked one from each pair to come collect a feather each. Harry went to get their feathers. He went through the wrist movement again.
"Okay now everyone give it a try."
"Wingardium Leviosa." Rang throughout the room. Everyone got it right on the first try. Even Vincent and Greg.
"Oh well done." He squawked. "Ten points to Slytherin each. Also as a special treat, you may all leave early."
They all politely thanked Professor Flitwick and left quietly.
(Time Skip!)
Harry, Pansy, Tracy and Daphne were in a deserted common room. The three had insisted they stay with Harry instead of going to the feat. What Harry really appreciated. They told him to think nothing of it.
The school house elves had sent them some food. The four sat around chatting, eating and playing exploding snap. They were talking about how Draco had finally put Granger in her place. When she called all Slytherin Pureblood's inbred bastards. That was the final straw for the little know it all. She had been insulting them for a while with Weasel. But Weasel and Granger occasionally tried to hex or curse them, which they always deflected. It was quite pathetic really. Longbottom was normally with them but never did anything. He was too much of a coward but still, got hit with relation for association. How he got into the house of the brave as beyond the Slytherin's.
Draco had said, that Granger did not belong here. Just like all the Mud-blood's. also that Weasley was just used her for her brain. She had taken off crying and none had seen her since. Whilst they were romancing about this a loud crash was heard from above.
"Stay in here." Harry said. "No need to act like a Gryffindor. Or maybe be a Hufflepuff and go find what made the noise."
The girls smiled and nodded.
About an hour later the guys came in. saying how a Troll had gotten in and it was in the Dungeons at first. But it had gotten into the first-floor girls bathroom and attacked Granger. To Draco's delight. After he had said this food appeared in the common room. Apparently, they were to finish the feast in here. Harry went off with Theo to get food. He was suddenly in a really good mood. He had his first Quidditch match the day after tomorrow.
(Time skip!)
Flint had gone to wake Harry up at 7:30. Well, he was shocked to see Harry was up already and had showered.
"Right, Harry come on we as a team are going up to the great hall."
It was 8 and they entered to cheers that drowned out the boos from the Gryffindor's.
Harry was nervous. The news of him being a player had leaked out. Somehow but no one but Slytherin knew his position. There were idiotic Gryfindorks who said they would be running around underneath him holding a mattress. This just made Harry laugh. Whilst all of Slytherin said he would be brilliant. Even Higgs who was the former Seeker. Who was now reserve and saw Harry performance and knew Harry was much better.
"Harry you have to eat something." Whined Pansy.
"I am not hungry."
"Just a bit of toast." Tracy pleaded.
"I am not..." He was interrupted.
"Potter I must insist that my house players eat." Snape said.
Harry instantly started eating bacon and drinking orange juice.
(Time skip!)
Marcus and Wood had shaken hands. Well crushed hands. It appeared Marcus one. As Wood was massaging his hand. Flint may not be the best the looker but he was strong. Maybe he had a bit of troll blood in him.
"And there off!" Jordan, the Weasel twins friend yelled through the magic microphone. He was closely being watched by Professor McGonagall.
"Here are the mighty and noble Gryffindor's led by captain Oliver Wood. With Johnson, Spinet and Bell as Chasers. The twin bludgers Weasley and Weasley and Seeker McLaggen. And here comes the slimy Slytherin's."
"Jordan!"
"Sorry Professor. Led by captain Marcus Flint playing Chaser. Vaisey as Keeper Adrian Pucey and Montague as the other two Chasers. Derek and Bole as Beaters. Finally Potter as the Seeker." He said in a bored tone.
The game was going well the Slytherin team was leading 80 – 20 when Harry saw a glint of gold. He went chasing after it when he McLaggen yelled at one of the Weasley twins. He had taken their bat and tried to hit a bludger at Harry but took out Bell. This led to yells of rage from the Gryffindor's
"McLaggen give him back his bat and go after Potter!"
"Well, You're not setting a very good example!" He yelled trying to swing another bludger. This time taking out Wood.
"Potter has caught the Snitch. Slytherin wins 230 – 20." Jordan announced in a distraught tone mixed with anger.
"McLaggen strode over to Potter."
"Give us a rematch!"
"Fuck off McLaggen!" Marcus said.
"You caught the snitch when I was talking."
"That your problem." Harry said whilst smirking.
He swung his fist for Harry. He dodged now he had his face right up to his. Harry stood his ground. Holding his hand. A way of telling the team not to intervene. Well not yet anyway.
"What is all this!" Madam Hooch snapped.
"Oh, McLaggen is complaining how I caught the snitch when he was talking. Then he swung a punch at me. Also, he demands a rematch."
"Dirty filthy snake." Was shouted from the back of the Gryffindor crowds.
Harry wagged his tongue like a snake. To roars of laughter from the rest of the Slytherin team. Wood and Bell had been taken up to the hospital wing.
"Detention for a month McLaggen and 50 points from Gryffindor. I will be speaking to Professor McGonagall about this you mark my words. Oh, here she comes now."
Harry was led off the pitch by his team-mates.
The victory party lasted late into the night. Harry with the rest if the first year boys entered their dormitory at about 1 am.
A/N: Thanks for reading. Sorry I could not resist slipping in that Star Kid Hufflepuff joke. I promise the only Star Kid Hufflepuff reference. Unless you liked it. I know this was not the best but I just thought it would be best to get this out. I can't write Quidditch games. Hopefully, I will improve. Please Review! :)
