Chapter 3 "To be a Hero"
You decide to run for it. Better to be alive than late, you reason. Running through the frammiliar corridors of Hogwarts, you keep your eyes ahead, as good seekers do. The blurs and whizzing noises around you seemed welcomed, for you do not want to know what Snape will do once you jump into his class a whole ten minutes late. You almost fear going to class. And to think that you were so excited about handing in your near-Hermione-level homework.
After more running without stopping, you arrive at the door to the dungeons and stop to breathe before you run into the lion's den. Controling your breath, you hold your head up high and open the door as quietly as possible.
"Ah, Mr. Potter, what a pleasant surprise. I did not expect to see you here since you find yourself too godly to arrive in my class at the scheduled time." Snape said, venom dripping from every word. You do not look down in shame, he cannot get the best of you. "I am sorry, Professor, I will never be late again." You say in your most honest and humble tone. You will not let this fickle man get the best of you. You are Harry Potter! Defeater of the dark lord! You can handle a lowly potions teacher who is going through his mid-life crisis at age 35. He glares at you, shooting imaginary darts of poison. "Sit down, Potter! Fifteen points from Gryffindor for your lack of ability to read the time." Snape spat. You look around the room and see your red haired best friend in the fourth row, mouthing for you to sit next to him. You smile slightly and take your seat. "Now, as I was saying before I was interrupted... The cure to the plague was actually discovered by a witch..." He droned on.
"Where were you this morning, Harry?" Ron asked after their hour of misery had ended. "Thanks for waking me up!" You snap back! You are terribly irritated with Ron for not waking you up if he knew that you were still asleep. Ron looked guiltily at the floor as they continued to walk to Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Professor Remus Lupin was back in Hogwarts after no other teacher accepted the position. You love his class, not only because DADA is what you excel in, but Remus treats his students well. You are happy for him and his new wife Birdie.
"Good morning, class!" Professor Lupin greets his Gryffindor and Hufflepuff sixth years. "Today, we will learn about defense against a Black Waterloop. It is a giant plant like monster with large fangs and long curly vines that can crush a brick wall..."
After class you and Ron walk out with the rest of the class. Then you see her. You haven't really noticed her all day and she looks ravishing, as usual. You go up to her and smile. She smiles back at you as you reach over to hold her hand. "Hello Harry" She whispers to you. "Hello ............
Ginny." Go to chapter 6
Hermione." Go to chapter 7
*Sorry, about the Mrs. Birdie Lupin, I just HAD to put that in!*
