To yellow 14: Thanks for your review.
To kingdom219: Thanks for your review and I haven't decided when the voting will end. But I'll let everyone know when it's over.
To JWOHPfan: Thanks for your review. I felt that Harry needed friends from the other houses since a lot of the other houses like him because he saved Terry Boots life. In the next chapter I'll have Neville doing something brave and Harry will meet Neville's grandmother who will be nice to him. Thanks for your continuing vote of Harry/Crystal. Also the Gryffindor Seeker does have a hard to pronounce name since he came from Spain. However if you know any Spanish names please let me know so that I can give him a speaking part.
To sjrodgers108: Thanks for your review.
To omega13a: Remus won't be in the story until Harry's second year. I'm talking about a protest of a different furry kind.
To notwritten: Thanks for your review.
To Paladin13: I'm not going to give Harry's two wives but someone just mentioned that and so I added that to the vote.

Chapter 9: Magical Protests
On Sunday Harry had another visit to make with Professor Snape. They continued to talk about Harry's childhood and about how more stressful it had gotten when Harry's powers started to show.
"Uncle Vernon hated me even more," Harry told him. "And I didn't even know why?"
"People fear what they don't understand," Snape told him.
Harry was a little surprised that he used that muggle saying and Snape noticed his surprise.
"You think that I can't use that to make a point, do you?" Snape asked him.
"No, sir," Harry replied. "I'm just surprised, that's all."
When their two hours were up Harry left and Snape headed to the Headmaster's office to report on how things were going. The Headmaster seemed to be pleased that Snape had made progress in helping Harry deal with things.
"But what I'm afraid of is when he returns to that environment," Snape told him.
"Well as long as your watching the house then there shouldn't be any problems," Dumbledore told him.
Snape highly doubted that. Harry needed someone that would allow him to have less stress in his life. He had heard that Crystal was allowing Harry to spend the summer over at her house and Snape had a funny feeling that Crystal's mother would molly coddle him. He had this thought a number of times but he didn't dare tell the Headmaster what he was thinking, the man would put a stop to it. He needed to come up with a plan and soon.
Of course being in Slytherin he would have a plan in no time.
As for Harry he and his friends returned to lessons on Monday. Draco Malfoy was glaring at him from time to time and Harry had a feeling that even though Slytherin had won he was sore at him for associating with people that people like the Malfoy's didn't approve of. Well Harry didn't care, he never had friends before Hogwarts and he wasn't going to give up the ones that he had just to survive in Slytherin.
"What's wrong with Malfoy?" Crystal asked as they left class.
"Don't look at me, there's always something wrong with Malfoy," Harry muttered unpleasantly.
"Well I think we need to get back at him," Crystal told him. "I mean, he makes fun of our friends and he thinks that because he's daddies little boy that he can do whatever he wants."
Harry seemed to like this idea.
"So what's the plan?"
Crystal gave him a nasty smile and then told him of what she had planned. They would do the prank during dinner and Crystal would use one of the spells that her mum had taught her to make sure the prank worked.
"Do you think it will work?" Harry asked.
Crystal laughed at his question.
"Of course it will work," Crystal told him. "My mum wasn't a Charms Mistress for nothing."
Harry nodded; feeling excited about Malfoy getting what was coming to him.
That night all the students were setting, having dinner. The plan was for Harry to start talking to Malfoy letting Crystal do her little part. Harry sat next to Malfoy with Crystal on the other side of him.
"Draco, can I ask you something?" Harry started.
He turned his head away from his dinner.
"And what do you want to ask, Potter?" Malfoy asked. "How you can be better then I because you'll never be better then me."
Harry gave him a sweet smile.
"Of course not," Harry said, ignoring his insult. "I was just wondering if you think that you'll end up on the Slytherin Quidditch team next year."
"Of course I will, Potter," Malfoy said. "All the Malfoy's have been on the Slytherin Quidditch team."
As he answered Harry's question Crystal muttered a few words on Malfoy's bowl and then tucked her wand away. Malfoy returned to his foot but then let out a scream of horror a few minutes later when his face turned into that of a bird. The students burst out laughing and Malfoy had to run out of the Great Hall. Crystal and Harry both snickered at each other, winking. Snape just shook his head.
News that Malfoy had been pranked and no one knew who had done it had spread through the school like wildfire. Snape, himself, thought it had been one sneaking and cunning trick. Of course Lucius came to demand that Snape find out who had pranked his son and Snape lied, telling him that he would. Lucius believed him and left the school.
A week later something strange happened that not even Dumbledore would have expected. Things were starting to wind down because the first half of the term was coming to an end. The students were coming down for breakfast when their way was blocked by all the cats that lived in Hogwarts. When one of the students tried to reach for one it scratched her.
Dumbledore called upon McGonagall at once.
"We need to find out what's going on," Dumbledore told her.
"I'll get on it right away," McGonagall said and then changing into a cat, she was gone.
However things didn't turn out well for McGonagall. She reported that the cats had hissed at her but at least one of them told her why they were doing this. They were protesting how they were being treated by the magical world at large.
"They want full access to the Great Hall," she told him. "And they want fresh fish, not the can stuff that they've been given."
Dumbledore didn't think that his day could get any stranger. Of course that wasn't counting the fact that Crystal had found a dead body.

A/N: Now where did the dead body come from? Well Harry is going to have to find out the answer to that as well as trying to find out for sure if Quirrell is trying to steal whatever is being guarded.
