Harry Potter and the Powerful Friendship (Part
10)
"Master I
have something to tell you about Potter."
"Oh? Do tell!"
**********
Something to do with me? Harry thought, as he woke up from his nap in Divinations.
It had been about
a week since the incident with Malfoy and Harry wondered if that was what his
dream had been about.
(Yeah right! Really, like any of us believe you! Except maybe those two dorks over
there. As if, I bet ya a million
galleons that the stars have never
informed you of anything.) Harry heard
Ron mumble from where he was sitting.
{Ron, be quiet.
Just because you don't want to learn anything doesn't mean I want to listen to
your babble!} Hermione shouted in their
heads.
(Now
really,) Ron mumbled. (She's always trying to ruin my fun.)
{I heard
that. And you know that it's not
true.} Hermione complained.
(Oh yeah?) Ron asked (Name one time that you have
actually joined in on the fun, or better yet started it?)
{The Ladriend
Potion} Hermione said smugly.
Harry grinned
[She has you there, Ron!]
(Who's side are
you on?) Ron asked Harry.
Harry thought for
a moment before saying, [No ones. I'm
just the little bird who influences people's decisions.]
"Mr.
Potter!" Harry hear Trelawny say
from above him. "Do you care to
share what you see in the crystal ball?"
Harry just
shrugged his shoulders before saying, "A dog."
Trelawny took the
bait.
"What kind
of dog?"
(A Grim.) Ron suggested.
Harry just simply
said, "It looks kind of like a Grim."
"My poor
child. If you see the grim then you
most surely shall die!"
"Oh
really! Well this grim looks
friendly. It looks like it is licking a
child's face."
"Oh no! We must save the poor child, for the child
shall surely die."
"No
wait! It looks like it is running
towards a big building, the building looks kind of like Hogwarts!" Harry said this while staring intently at
the ball and trying to keep back a grin.
"Oh no! Everyone hide. For death shall surely be
upon us all." Trelawny yelled while
running out of the room.
Harry looked up
from the ball and saw everyone staring at him in surprise. Seeing the looks on their faces Harry just
started to laugh.
**********
(That was
great.) Ron said as they walked slowly
towards the dungeons after lunch.
{I can't believe
that she actually believed all of that.} Hermione exclaimed.
Harry grinned
[Yeah well I heard McGonagall talking to Flitwick and it seems that Trelawny
has hidden herself and she won't come out!]
The three burst
into further gales of laughter as the entered the Potions' classroom.
{So Harry, would
you mind telling us when you overheard McGonagall? As far as I know you have been with both of us since the events
that happened this morning.}
Harry looked
around rather guiltily. [Um, I was
practicing.] He thought timidly.
(Practicing
what?) Ron asked, sounding quite
interested.
Harry looked
around again looking for a way to escape. He knew all to well that if he confessed Hermione would jump down his
throat about it. [Um, Iwaspractisingmypowers.] He said this all too quickly for
neither of the others understood what he had said.
(What?) Ron asked.
Harry took a deep
breath, about to confess when Snape walked into the room.
Harry let out a
sigh of relief as Snape began the lesson and Hermione forgot about him as she
took detailed notes on everything that the professor was saying.
**********
(So Harry, how do
you do it?) Ron asked as he and Harry
worked on their potion together.
Hermione looked
up in interest and Harry quickly made it so just Ron could hear him.
[I was, kind of,
practicing my powers.]
(And it worked?)
Ron said skeptically.
[Apparently
yes. Of course, it may only be from a
certain distance that we can do this. We were eating lunch and I saw McGonagall talking and I decided that I
would try.]
"Potter"
Harry looked up to where Snape stood as he continued talking. "Your potion is way to runny."
Snape sneered. Harry glared at Snape with such force that it sent a chill down
Snape's back.
Snape didn't let
this affect him for he said "Ten points from Gryffindor."
**********
{So Harry, How
exactly did you hear what McGonagall was saying?} Hermione asked him as the exited the classroom.
Harry quickly
decided to change the subject. [You
know we never did talk to Dumbledore after the whole incident with Malfoy. I wonder if we should go talk to him?]
{Yeah, we might
want to. At least we might want to go
talk to one of the professors. I was
thinking that Sirius might be a better decision.}
Harry grinned. He
could tell right away that Dumbledore intimidated Hermione. She was probably scared that she would choke
and say something extremely stupid.
(Okay, we
probably should. Sirius would probably
tell Dumbledore anyways but it is better to tell somebody now then to wait
until Dumbledore calls us into his office.) Ron said this watching the shudder
run down Hermione's back. He too had
picked up on that fact.
Harry looked down
at his watch and said [We probably ought to wait until after dinner though. I don't know if Sirius is teaching a class
at the moment.]
Ron grinned
widely and both Hermione and Harry looked at him wondering what stupid idea had
sparked in his mind.
{Uh-oh} Hermione muttered.
[We're in trouble
now.] Harry agreed.
{I wish that he
wasn't related to the twins.}
[Oh, I know]
(You two stop
it. That's not funny!) Ron said. (Anyways follow me.)
Ron led them down
a few corridors before Hermione recognized where they were going.
{You've got to be
kidding! There is no way that we're
going into Sirius's classroom now.}
(Oh come! It will be fun!) Ron said trying to persuade them. Seeing that persuading them wasn't going to get him anywhere, he
grabbed both of their hands and dragged them into the classroom.
Where Sirius just
so happened to be teaching the seventh year Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs.
"Hullo" Ron
called out upon entering.
Everyone in the
classroom turned to stare.
"Harry here
had something to ask you!" Ron
continued after the other two had muttered hello.
"Couldn't
this wait?" Sirius asked.
"That's what
I wanted to know. Unfortunately Ron's
traits that he got from his brothers seem to have come out in him." Harry said glaring at the twins who had
identical innocent smiles plastered on their faces.
"Don't worry
Sirius, we'll watch the class while you go out and talk to Harry." Ron said. His brothers nodding their heads in agreement.
Sirius sighed,
knowing very well that he was going to regret his decision. "All right Harry," Sirius said as he
beckoned him out of the room.
"Okay so how
many of you know how to play Simon Says?" Harry heard Hermione ask before they left the room.
"So what was
it that you wanted to ask me?" Sirius said, after he had closed the door.
Harry
gulped. "It really could of waited. Like I said, Ron's traits that he got from
his brothers seem to be showing. At least he's gotten more mischievousness in
him. Mrs. Weasley will sure have her hands full!"
"Well know
that we're here you might as well tell me what's going on."
"Well
Hermione decided that we needed to tell an adult what was going on, and we
found out that she doesn't like to talk to Dumbledore so she suggested we come
here."
"Okay, so
talk."
"Why don't
we come back after dinner. It might be
better if Hermione tells what happened since I don't know the details."
Sirius sighed,
knowing he was getting nowhere with Harry. "Fine. Come to my
office. You do know where that is,
don't you?"
Harry looked
insulted. "Of course I know where that is. I've only been there, what? A total of absolutely no times. But we'll use the Marauder's Map."
"Oh,
yes. Of course. The Marauder's Map. I wonder what Fred and George were thinking
when they gave it to you." Sirius
looked down at his watch. "Come
on, let's go see what Ron and Hermione are up to in my class."
As they neared
the classroom they heard a voice of "Uh-uh-uh Simon didn't say!" Which Harry concluded to be Hermione's
voice.
Sirius grinned
remembering something similar that he and James had done.
Upon walking into
the room they burst out laughing. All
the seventh years along with Ron were standing on one foot, sticking out their
tongue, patting their head with one hand and rubbing their stomach with the
other.
Sirius finally
managed to stop the laughter and walked to the front of the classroom. "Alright class you can all sit down
now."
None of the
seventh year students moved. "Sit down." Sirius said again.
One of the
Hufflepuffs replied timidly, "But Simon didn't say!"
Sirius turned to
Hermione. "SIMON!!! Please tell the students that the game is
over."
Hermione sighed,
not wanting to ruin their fun. "The game is over you guys."
"SIMON
DIDN'T SAY" The class roared back.
"Fine," Hermione said quite agitated now. "Simon says that the game is
over."
Harry and Ron
were suppressing silent laughter over the whole thing and trying to make
themselves go unnoticed.
Sirius cleared
his voice. "Alright you
three. Get going while I finish this
lesson."
Harry gave him a
cheeky grin as he left the room.
