AN: This part is going to be from an observer's perspective.
Four Gryffindors were seen going to a hut which was set up on Hogwarts grounds on the 6th of September at half past 10 in the morning. The boy with black, shaggy hair looked relaxed- he was laughing his arse off, thinking of what was to come. The girl with bushy brown hair was a bit contrite, having realized that he was definitely in danger. The ginger haired and blond boys, however, looked awestruck, as they followed him to the hut.
"Harry, why do you look so relaxed now? You have a duel at 6 this evening! You need to prepare for it!" fumed the girl with the brown hair, as she glared at the black haired boy named Harry.
"Hermione, I said I'm prepared to duel anyone at any time. I'll have to explain how later, but the three of you need to lose the tension before I do so." said Harry, who was placating her wrath.
"Harry, that was awesome! I can't believe you shut down Snape so quickly! Draco wouldn't even argue if he was in your place, right?" said the gingerhead.
"Ron, I think Harry went too far, although I do believe that Snape was out of order for putting both of them in detention. Harry, why did you tick off Snape? It was obvious that you had something crazy planned, but I couldn't even believe my eyes or ears when you challenged him." the boy named Draco replied.
"Because this was my opportunity to speak to Dumbledore! As it turns out, the Sorting Hat couldn't Sort me. In fact, it asked me to choose a House for myself. I chose Gryffindor because you and Hermione were in Gryffindor. As luck would have it, Ron also entered Gryffindor, and I told the Sorting Hat to inform Dumbledore that I would speak to him at the earliest opportunity. Anyway, did you know that there is a room that changes shape in this castle? It's a legend called the Room of Requirement, which will create rooms to fulfill the wishes of any person. I know that it isn't in Hogwarts: A History , and it is actually doubted by everyone." Harry brightly said.
That cheered everyone up, and they asked if they could visit it soon. But at that time, they reached Hagrid's hut and knocked on the door. Hagrid opened it, and was shocked to see the four people that he was expecting later at his doorstep- he let them in, while looking suspiciously at Draco. Harry explained that there was some emergency for Snape and thus class was dismissed early. He further explained that Snape almost gave him and Hermione detention, only to hold Hagrid back before he broke Draco's neck. He had to explain that Draco was under the pressure of his father to be a proper Blood-Purist, while Draco himself pretended as such.
After that, the five of them had lunch at Hagrid's hut, then separated at two in the afternoon. Harry looked pleased about Hagrid's current treatment of Draco. He also seemed like he was preparing himself for his death, despite his own confidence earlier- the other three were concerned that Harry was pushing himself.
When they found an empty classroom and were confident that no one could unlock it (Harry decided to cast a spell on the door to lock it), Harry set up a noise barrier and said "Well, I can't say that hiding things from my friends is a good thing. However, what I am about to do and show you three is extremely personal, and also somewhat humiliating. Please promise me that you won't leak a word of this to anyone- not even your parents."
The three immediately promised to keep whatever they saw, heard, or experienced secret.

At five to six in the evening, The Great Hall was silent- and only held four people. When the Headmaster and the four Heads of House entered, they were shocked to see all of them relaxed and playing a game of rock-paper-scissors.
Harry stood up and grinned amiably. "So, we are gathered here in time for a bit of chit-chat before a good duel. I must say, I didn't expect all of you to come, considering that I am just eleven. Anyway, the duel isn't important- I wanted to ask for your thoughts on many things. So, to start-"
"MR. POTTER! I SUGGEST YOU STAY SILENT FOR A FEW MINUTES! AS IT IS, WE ARE PLANNING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU FOUR GET DETENTION FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS! PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THINGS WORSE FOR YOURSELVES!" interrupted a livid McGonagall, who wasn't in a mood to talk. The other professors were equally livid, and Dumbledore was the only one who still had a twinkle in his eye, dim as it was.
Harry's face darkened. "I was about to say that we could've talked things out, but it seems that you don't intend to use words of peace. Very well then! Hermione, Ron, Draco, CHOOSE YOUR OPPONENTS! This duel is officially beginning!" he snarled, livid himself and not to be reasoned with. Hermione chose McGonagall, Ron chose Flitwick, and Draco chose Sprout. Harry decided that he was dueling Dumbledore and Snape at the same time.
