Death Threat
A/N. I'm baaaaaaack!!!!! This is story three in the trilogy sequel thing whatdyacallit!!!!! I strongly recommend that you read 'There's No Turning Back' then 'Funestus' before you get your teeth into this because otherwise it'll make no sense what so ever!!!!!
I've turned Draco into a bit of a pansy I'm afraid so he won't be in this story a lot because he is terribly OOC and all Draco-lovers are going to flame me so much my world's going to turn to ashes!!!! What shall I do….should I kill him off???!!!! Now there's an idea….
Read all that…no, didn't think so…anyway…..:}
Chapter 1: Freedom
As soon as he had climbed through the portrait hole he was immediately clapped on the back by Fred and George and approached by Ron, Hermione and Jenny, his friends.
'A whole month solid of detentions!' exclaimed Ron, 'But not a world record I'm afraid. You were only beaten by Fred and George though…well, recently!'
'Thanks Ron,' said Harry grinning.
'Well you did deserve it!,' said Hermione, though not unkindly, 'It was stupid of you, running off into the Forbidden For…'
'Yes Herm, we know,' said Ron, putting his arm around her and leading her away before she go started into the "you shouldn't have done that" lecture again.
'Well, congrats Harry…though I'm not sure why…' said Jenny, smiling at him and Harry felt his knees go slightly weak. Ever since the brief moment in the Astronomy Tower, when they had shared their feelings with each other, they had been going out. Of course the whole school knew, once Harry had stopped denying she was his girlfriend and visa-versa. Now Harry felt increasingly awkward going past Dumbledore, seeing as he had been caught kissing his granddaughter in the middle of the corridor.
'Thanks Jen,' said Harry, 'Want to go for a walk?' he added, though not quite sure why.
'Sure,' she replied.
They walked out the portrait hole, trying to ignore the various whistles from Dean and Seamus, until Jenny finally snapped and told them if they didn't shut up they wouldn't have any teeth left to whistle with!
Whilst they were walking down the corridor, who else but Professor Dumbledore should appear from round a corner. As Jenny greeted him, Harry stared at the floor, wishing his cheeks weren't so red and praying that Dumbledore wouldn't talk to him.
When thy moved on Harry gave a sigh of relief, unfortunately audible by Jenny.
'Really Harry!' she tutted, 'He's not going to eat you, you know!'
'I know,' said Harry, then, changing the subject, he asked, 'What's your middle name?' unable to think of anything better.
'That's changing the subject!' she exclaimed, but let it drop, 'Do you really want to know?'
'Umm…yeah.'
'Well tough 'cause I'm not telling you!'
'Oh, go on!'
'Well…'
'Pleeeeeease?'
'Don't do those puppy eyes at me, Potter! Alright, if you really want to know it's Casidy.' She changed a lovely shade of pink as she stared determinedly at the floor.
Harry gaped at her before realising the name suited her. He changed the subject again.
'Have you noticed that Snape's been looking a lot happier lately?'
'Yeah I have actually,' she said, raising her eyes from the floor and wrinkling her nose.
'Perhaps he got married.'
'Or divorced!'
'He's already married!' exclaimed Harry.
'Nah, dunno, it was just a thought,' she replied, laughing at the shock on Harry's face.
The next day was Friday and, luckily for them, the next day they were allowed to go to Hogsmeade. Although it was only March, the weather was baking hot and students kept staring longingly out of the window…until they were brought back to reality by Professor McGonagall, telling them it was a 'fool's summer and would be raining my tomorrow.'
Their last lesson on Friday was Divination for Jenny, Harry and Ron while Hermione went to Arithmancy.
They said goodbye to Hermione and climbed up the stairs. When they got to the ladder, they stared up in apprehension.
'It's going to be boiling,' warned Ron.
'Mmm,' agreed Harry, 'Anyway, ladies first.'
Jenny scowled at him as she climbed the ladder into the circular room.
Professor Trewlany was there as usual, and, Ron was right, it was so hot in that room Harry wouldn't have been surprised if everything burst into flames before his eyes.
So after Harry's death had been predicted, yet again, thoroughly amusing Jenny and Ron, who hadn't stopped laughing all lesson, it was time for lunch. They met Hermione at the bottom of the stairs.
'So does that mean I'm going to get savaged by a werewolf?' asked Harry, trying to work out what Professor Trewlany had meant, 'Or does it mean that…ah, I don't know! How tragic now I'll never know how I die!' he finished up, giving a huge, fake sigh.
They all laughed as they entered the Dining hall, and continued to talk about what Professor Trewlany meant by 'the moon is your greatest enemy, Harry.'
Because they had Friday afternoons off they decided to go and visit Hagrid. To their surprise they found Sirius there already, looking depressed.
'Are you OK, Sirius?' asked Harry, concerned at this unusual behavior from his godfather, when they walked through the door.
'Yeah, I'm fine,' he replied. Then he caught sight of Jenny and grinned evilly.
Harry groaned inwardly. Sirius had been teasing him constantly about acquiring a girlfriend. Luckily for Harry, Sirius had refrained from saying anything in front of Jenny and he prayed Sirius wouldn't start now. He didn't.
'D'ya wan' some rock cakes? Jus' cooked a batch for Sirius,' asked Hagrid, once they had all sat down.
'Er…no thanks Hagrid, just had lunch,' said Jenny hastily, acknowledging a look from Sirius.
They stayed and talked to Hagrid and Sirius for a while before heading back to the castle, Sirius with them.
'Bye Hagrid,' called Harry as he gave Fang a farewell pat.
They trudged through the front door, moaning about the heat, when suddenly a cascade of water landed on top of Jenny's head. They looked up to see Peeves holding a bucket that had previously been full of water, grinning as evilly as Sirius could.
'I'm melting! I'm mellllting!' Jenny shrieked, turning everyone's attention back to her as she began to shake water over them.
They all collapsed with laughter except Ron, seeing as he had never seen 'The Wizard of Oz.'
'But why would the witch melt?' asked Ron, still horribly confused as they walked into the Dining hall a few hours later.
'Ron, it's just a Muggle fairy tale! Honestly!' exclaimed Hermione, after trying to explain the story to Ron for the third time.
'Oh.'
