Chapter 2: The First Challenge
Harry thought he was dreaming. Could his wish really come true. "No, it couldn't" Harry thought, "I must be dreaming. A
mushroom could never make my wish come true. And I certainly will not go humiliate myself in front of the entire school to
make a pretend mushroom make my wish come true." Harry looked around the empty common room. He did not know why, but it seemed
a bit odd that there was an explosion, but no one was in there. He shrugged it off, "After all," he said aloud to himself,
"If I WAS dreaming, then that might have been part of my dream." Harry took a glance at his watch. It was 2:30! He was late
to Potions! "Oh no!" Harry muttered, "Snape's going to kill me, or something worse." Harry gathered up his books and ran as
fast as he could to Potions. When he got there, he saw that no one was there. He looked at his watch and shook it. It still
read 2:30. He wondered what time it really was when of all people, Prof. Snape walked into the room.
"Well, well, Mr. Potter, you're certainly early," Snape remarked.
"Early? what do you mean Professor? My watch says it's 2:30. Shouldn't I be late?" Harry asked.
"2:30? Let me see that watch." Harry took off the watch and was about to give it to Snape when it exploded and suddenly
evaporated into thin air. "It seems that whoever gave you that watch knew it was broken and would explode when you took
it off." Snape laughed. It sounded eerie in the empty classroom.
"Well, Ron gave it to me at Christmas and said that it was a present from Fred and George. I didn't know they'd make it
explode if I ever took it off. This is the first day I've ever worn it, after all. I showed it to Ron after I put it on,
and he said it looked nice, and..."
"That's very nice Mr. Potter, but I suggest you leave now. It's still lunchtime and I suggest you should go get something to
eat before it's all gone. And by the way, you don't even HAVE Potions today, so I don't want to see you again until
dinnertime. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Professor." Harry walked towards Great Hall to get something to eat when he bumped into Ginny running worriedly around
the corridor. "What's wrong, honey?" Harry asked.
"oh there you are!" Ginny exclaimed with relief, "I've been looking all over for you. I was getting worried when you didn't
come to lunch. Oh and I have some food for you, everything in the Great Hall has been eaten already." She handed him a bag
with some food in it.
"Thank you so much. I'm starving. But first let's say hello the proper way." Harry moved towards Ginny and kissed her
passionately on the lips. She kissed him back.
"Now, if you don't mind, I have to get to class," Ginny said as she made her way to her Transfiguration class.
"All right, I'll see you later, honey!" Harry called after her. What just happened made him think back to him not being able
to see her for the whole of next year. He didn't want it to happen, but it was inevitable. He ate the food that was in the
bag then remembered that he was supposed to be in Charms in a few minutes. He took all his books and went to the Charms
room. He met up with Ron and Hermione in the class.
"Where were you at lunch Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, Ginny was getting worried when you didn't show up. She went off looking for you, and..."
"Yes, I know all that. I met up with her in the hallway a few minute back. By the way, Ron, that watch that Fred and George
gave me blew up today when I took it off to give to Professor Snape. And for some reason, it was broken, too."
"Oh, really?" Ron said, trying to look innocent, "I didn't know that that would happen. They said it was a gag gift, but I
didn't know they meant it literally!.
"Remind me to owl them to ask them why they gave it to me." Harry said, very stupidly.
"Ok, whatever Harry," Ron said sarcastically. Unsurprisingly, Harry didn't catch the sarcasm.
After Charms, Harry went back up to the Gryffindor Common Room. He heard the same POOF! again and the mushroom appeared in
the same place as it was before. Again, the Common Room was empty because everyone was either outside enjoying the weather
or in class.
"Have you been following the challenge I gave you?" the mushroom asked.
"Of course not. I don't believe that you can change the future or make my dream come true. What should make me believe that
you can, anyway?"
"Well let me show you my ability to change the future. Right now, Ron is in the library with Hermione, studying for the
end of term exams. They have no intention of coming back to the Common Room for any reason. But now in about a minute they
will both come back to search for new quills because theirs will have exploded. In fact, Hermione will have the exploded
quill in her hand. Here they are now."
"I can't believe all my quills suddenly exploded!" exclaimed a very pissed off Ron.
"Mine too! I mean look at them," Hermione held one up, "They're ruined! I hope I have some more." Hermione and Ron go to look
for more quills.
"See what I mean, Harry?"
"Oh, I get it now. So what was the challenge again?"
"For you to run around the school with your pants on your head and at dinner you must take your shirt off."
"Oh, ok. Do you need proof of it?"
"Oh, no, we will get someone to give us pictures of it. Not to worry, it won't be that hard."
"Oh, ok. When should I start?"
"Right now. But remember, you must do it today, or your dream will never come true."
"When will you tell me my next challenge?"
"Tonight at midnight here in the common room. It will have something to do with the Hogsmeade trip you will be going on this
weekend. But enough about that, do the first challenge."
"Ok then." Harry took off his pants and put them on his head. Then he went out the door and started running around the school
like that. He ran into none other that Draco Malfoy on his way down the corridor to go to dinner.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" Draco snickered at Harry in his outfit. Crabbe and Goyle snickered along with him. "It's
a little early for that isn't it Potter. I don't see Ginny anywhere around here to satisfy your pleasure. Is that why you are
going around dressed like that? Save it for her. As for us sane people, we DON'T need to see what you do when you and Ginny
are alone."
Harry ignored him and ran down the hallway. He reminded himself that this was for Ginny and himself, not for anything else.
As he was running down the hallway, he just happened to bump into his worst nightmare- Colin Creevey. And worst of all, he
started taking pictures of him with his camera. "Colin don't!" Harry started, but Colin cut him off.
"Is this the new fashion Harry? I bet I can make a fortune with these pictures!" Colin said excitedly. Harry was in no mood
to play games after seeing Malfoy. He therefore took the camera and ripped it open and took out the film and then smashed the
camera on the floor. He then ran on before Colin could say anything. As he ran into the Great Hall for dinner, everyone
glanced in his direction and did a double take. They couldn't believe their eyes. Here was Harry Potter, one of the most
famous wizards in the world, in his underpants and his pants on his head. And when they thought this was bad enough, they
were even more shocked when he took off his shirt and threw it into the crowd. All the older girls tried to grab it. He then
started dancing the hokey-pokey while standing on the Gryffindor's table. This amused some people, but mainly it just
sickened them The teachers were sitting at their table dumbfounded and Professor McGonagall just about to get up and give
Harry a detention when Ginny ran up and grabbed Harry's arm and led him back to the Gryffindor Common Room. When they got
back, Ginny started yelling at him. He tried to explain about the fuzzy mushroom, but she wouldn't believe him. She told him
she was ashamed of the way he was acting, and that if he ever did it again, then she would break up with him. "What's inside
your pants is for me only, not any other girl! I'm surprised you found the nerve to start trouncing around like that. Now if
you feel like acting your age for just one moment, then you would see how humiliating this is not only for me but for you as
well. Now put your pants on right and get another shirt on then come to dinner if you feel like you can. If not, then I will
bring you another bag of food like at lunchtime. I will see you later." Ginny then left the room and went back to the Great
Hall to eat dinner. Harry on the other hand stayed in the Common Room feeling stupid.
"The things I have to do for love," Harry thought to himself. "Lucky I got Colin's camera before he could get the pictures to
anyone who could give it to the Daily Prophet of whatever. That would kill me if all of England found out about what I did.
I hope the next challenge will be easier than this one. I may as well do it since I've gotten this far. Now all I have to do
is stay up until midnight, even though I feel so tired." Harry heard the voice of the mushroom echo in the empty Common Room
"Don't forget!....."
Harry Potter a lot. Harry is going to be acting very stupid like always, so don't let his stupidity surprise u. Anyway, R/R
