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.
