Red Harry, 100 words. Sequel to Drabbles 24, 28, 31, 34 and 43.


Second year brought a new difficulty for Harry – his fame.

Of course, he didn't care much about fame for its own sake, but it might be handy for promoting the revolution.

The downsides were having people like that annoying Creevey boy always taking his picture, but at least Harry thought Creevey was recruitable. Lockhart, though, was just an annoyance – pulling Harry into the frame of every picture, trying to be a mentor to him, and having no interest in the welfare of the proletariat.

But if Harry could get some publicity for the revolution, Lockhart just might have his uses.
