Hi everyone! Thanks for the reviews!
Harry woke up the next day bright and early. 'If Luna came back does that mean anyone else has?' Harry thought. 'Or was that a fluke. Was she even supposed to come back?" Harry got up and took a long shower. When he finally came out his dorm room was completely empty. When Harry was finished getting dressed Fred and George came in their hands over their eyes.
"Is it safe to look yet?" George asked.
"Yes." Harry said.
"It is ok for you to come in Luna." Fred said.
"Hello Harry, I made you this necklace. It will help to ward off nargles." Luna said.
"Really, I always wanted one." Harry said putting it on. Harry noticed Fred and George were also wearing necklaces
"Harry, are you ready for breakfast?" Luna asked.
"Hold on let me just get my quill." Harry said looking around for his quill. "I let Ron borrow it last night. He had to have left it around here somewhere."
"Is this it?" Fred asked holding up a broken quill.
"He broke my quill. That was perfect eagle look alike feather." Harry said.
Luna took the quill from Fred. "No Harry this is an actual eagle feather." She said.
"What! He said it was fake. The people don't kill the eagle to get the quill do they?" Harry asked.
"Yes they do. That is why I do not use quill and parchment, parchment is animal skin by the way, I use Muggle pencil and paper."
"Really, do the Muggle items hurt animals?" Harry asked.
"Not that I know of," Luna said.
"Guys I have an idea." Harry said. Fred and George groaned. "What my ideas are not that bad."
"Yes they are." George said.
"Well this idea isn't. I'm going to start 'Stop Wizarding Animal Cruelty program or S.W.A.C. for short." Harry said.
"I'll join" Luna said.
"Me two" Fred said.
"Me three" George said.
"Me four." A mystery voice said.
Harry, Fred, George, and Luna jumped at the mysterious voice.
"Sorry to frighten you. My name is Colin Creevey." Colin said. "Can I have a picture?"
"Sure, hey Colin would you like to be mine, Fred, George, and Luna's personal umm… assistant in my Stop Wizarding Animal Cruelty program? I will pay you for it." Harry said.
"Sure Harry." Colin said. "We better get down to breakfast before class start."
The 5 entered the Great Hall; they went to sit next to Hermione, Neville, and Draco.
"Where is Ron?" Harry asked.
"He started making fun of Neville because a Slytherin jinxed him. So I punched him in the face. He is in the hospital wing." Draco said.
"Are you alright Neville" George asked.
"Yes." Neville said. "It was just a tripping jinx; I think it was meant for Draco."
"Why are they all ganging on you Draco?" Harry asked.
"I don't know." Draco said. "Maybe their all secretly gay and they wanted me as their lover."
"Maybe" Harry said. They all burst out laughing.
"Hey do you guys want to join mine, Fred, George, and Luna's organization. It is called Stop Wizarding Animal Cruelty. When you sign up you get a free set of notebooks and pencils to use instead of quills and parchment."
"Sure why not." Draco said.
Hermione, Draco, and Neville signed up for the club.
"Here is your free…"Harry said and started going into the full speech of joining the club.
Lessons that week went by fast. Only one teacher bothered to ask why he didn't have books.
"Potter, where is your transfiguration textbook?" Professor McGonagall asked
"Why get the books. They barely teach you anything at all. Most of it is about Lockhart himself. I doubt he even did anything in the book." Harry said and left before Minnie could reply.
Soon enough it was time for Defense against the Dark Arts. Harry was not looking forward to it.
"I see you have all bought a complete set of my books, except where is your books Harry? You must have forgot them from reading them last night. Anyway I thought today we should start with a little quiz to see how well you've read them." He said before Harry could answer. He handed out the test.
1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?
What does your favorite color have to do with Defense the Dark Arts?
2. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?
I don't know. Have everyone with perfect hair. I never read your books. The books don't teach us anything.
3. What, in your opinion, is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?
Your greatest achievement to date was being an idiot. Come on this quiz is stupid. When am I going to come across a dark wizard or animal that's going to want to know this crap?
54. When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday, and what would his ideal gift be?
Here is your answer. I DON"T CARE! And for your information I didn't even buy the books. They are a load of crap.
'What a stupid quiz. Really can this guy get anymore full of himself' Harry thought.
"Tut, tut, hardly any of you remembered…" Lockhart started.
"No one cares about your favorite color. That quiz had nothing to do with the Defense against the Dark Arts. And for your information I'm more famous then you will ever be. Everyone knows my name and I'm in the newspaper." Harry said then got up and left leaving a shocked class behind.
'Man that class sucked. I wonder if there will be any pudding during dinner. All great now I'm asking for pudding, Luna has worn on me. I wonder how were going to get the diary. Ginny is a lot tougher this time around. I don't like it. I wonder when my order of animal free pencils and paper will get here. Why is Ron always avoiding me? Man I wish my life wasn't so complicated.' Harry thought, not bothered to look where he was going. He met Colin on his walk.
"Hi Harry, perfect time to find you to. Here is your order for the Animal cruelty program. Here is the list of people signed up." He said handing Harry the list.
1. Harry Potter
2. Fred Weasley
3. George Weasley
4. Luna Lovegood
5. Colin Creevey
6. Hermione Granger
7. Draco Malfoy
8. Neville Longbottom
9. Ginny Weasley
10. Percy Weasley
11. Dean Thomas
And the list went on. 45 people signed up. Almost all the Gryffindors signed up. Some Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws signed up to. One thing that bothered Harry the most was that Ron wasn't on the list.
"Colin did you ask Ron to join my program?" Harry asked.
"Yes. He said he didn't want to sign up, said he didn't care for the animals." Colin said sadly. "Anyway I have arranged for the people who signed to get there pencils and paper by the end of the week. See you later Harry." Colin said before running off somewhere.
Harry went to the hospital wing to find out where Ron went.
"Do you know where Ron went?" Harry asked.
"Yes he went to the Great Hall for dinner." Madam Pomfrey replied.
"Thanks" Harry said then started walking to the Great Hall. He spotted Hermione, Luna, Draco, and Neville sitting at the table.
"Have you guys seen Ron?" Harry asked.
"Yes he is over there." Draco said pointing at farther down the table to where Dean and Seamus were talking.
"Why is he over there?" Harry asked
"He was making fun of me and Neville told him to be nice to me or leave." Luna said from behind Harry. Harry jumped.
"What have I told you about sneaking up behind me? I'll talk to Ron." Harry said.
Harry walked down the table to where Ron was.
"Ron, can I talk to you?" Harry asked
"Talk" Ron replied.
"I mean somewhere private." Harry said.
"Fine" Ron said and followed Harry out of the Great Hall.
"What do you want?" Ron asked. "If your going to tell me that your gay and in love with me you can forget it."
"That is not what I want to talk about and I am not gay. Think of all those disappointed girls there would be. Anyway why are you being mean to Draco and Luna, and why are you avoiding me?" Harry asked.
"Weasleys don't associate with a Malfoy." Ron said.
"Your brothers and sister do and they don't have a complaint." Harry said.
"Well that is them." Ron said.
"What about Luna?" Harry asked.
"Luna is loony no one likes her." Ron said.
"I like her and she is not loony." Fred said from behind Ron.
"Now you are on her side too, just like you are on Malfoy's side. It is ok to choose them over your brother." Ron said then went back to the Great Hall to eat.
"Your brother is starting to tick me off." Harry said.
"Yeah he is starting to tick me off too. Come on lets go eat." Fred said. They started walking to the Great Hall. "So how many people are signed for Stop Wizarding Animal Cruelty?"
"50." Colin said popping out of nowhere.
"Boy your good. Lee Jordan wanted me to tell you to add him." Fred said.
"Got it, 51 people and counting." Colin said then as suddenly as he came he left.
"Man that boy is good." Harry said.
Do not hate me about Ron. The reason he is acting like this will come up in later chapters. Hope you liked it! Review!
