Chapter 7
The New Seeker and the Threat Begins
In October the First year flying class was waiting outside, they had found out the other day that only the 1st and 2nd years had these classes from Lily that day.
Just then none other then Lily Potter herself came walking out with the flying and Quidditch coach Madam Hootch.
"All right, I'll be supervising you in the air and Professor Potter will be marking your flying activities, understand?" Madam Hootch said.
They all nodded then Lily walked up and said, "First hold your right hand over your broom and say up."
"Up," Everybody said together but most stayed down.
Harry's shot right up into his hands.
After awhile of some people not being able to get their brooms to come to them they had to go and just pick them up.
Then Madam Hootch went around correcting people as they mounted their brooms.
Then after she kicked off she got everyone else to kick off.
Harry flew around higher then the others; with his mother's permission he was aloud to go higher then the others.
Suddenly a Slytherin took Lavender's Ruby Pendent.
"Lookie here, Purple's precious pendent.well say good bye," She said then chucked it to the ground.
Lily saw this and got ready to catch it when her emerald eyes went wide and she screamed something.
Everyone looked confused when a black wiz went by them and shot towards the ground.
It grabbed the Pendent then bolted up and slowed down to reveal it was Harry.
Madam Hootch grabbed her heart and Harry got a look of panic on his face.
There was Professor McGonagall storming his way.
"Here Lavender," He said to her handing her the pendent when he didn't here McGonagall's voice but a very angry Lily's yell at him.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" She shrieked at him.
Harry landed and McGonagall said, "Come."
Lily told Madam Hootch to continue class well she went with Harry.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
McGonagall, much to both Harry and Lily's surprise stopped at the Charms Class room and asked, "Maybe I borrow Wood for a moment?
Suddenly a 5th year came out and they walked to Professor McGonagall's office.
"Wood I found you a Seeker."
"WHAT?!" Harry and Lily said together.
Woods eyes went practically starry when he heard that then frowned as Professor McGonagall said, "Well I found one if his mother or father gives him permission, considering first years usually are never aloud to keep a broom let alone play on a Quidditch team."
Wood frowned and said, "But it'll take awhile for the reply to get back.
"No it won't," McGonagall replied then turned to Lily and said, "Well Professor Potter? Will you let your son play for the Gryffindor Quidditch team?"
Wood seemed shocked that the teacher he got along the best was none other then Lily Potter.
"Potter?" He thought in his head then looked at Harry again to see him move his bangs from his emerald eyes and brining into view a very noticeable red lightning blot shaped scar.
After a few moments Lily sighed and said, "Fine."
Harry smiled and Wood looked very excited.
"I'm Oliver Wood, Gryffindor Keeper and Captain. No need to say who you are.your Harry Potter," Wood said to him.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
".And that's what happened," Leo told the rest of the Slytherin first years as they sat in potions class waiting for the Gryffindors to show up.
Just then all the Gryffindors came in and Draco Malfoy said, "Oh! Look everyone it's Pee-wee Potter! The deranged flying ape!"
The whole of the Slytherins burst into laughter and heard the dungeon door open.
They thought it was Snape like normal but much to their surprise a woman's voice said, "10 Points from Slytherin for making fun of a classmate."
They all turned to see Professor McGonagall glaring at them then she said, "Back to your common rooms this instant.we've got a major problem."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"Several students disappeared today," Professor McGonagall said causing all the Gryffindors.first year to seventh year to gasp as they listened.
Suddenly a 3rd year raised her hand.
"Yes Miss Bell?"
"I was wondering if this effects our classes or Quidditch training and matches?" Katie Bell, 1 of 3 Chasers on the Gryffindor Quidditch team asked.
"Yes it does, all Quidditch involved activities will be supervised and the extra class for the 1 & 2 years will be taken off."
Hermione's hand shot in the air and she asked, "What are those teacher's gonna be doing?"
"They will be teaching several classes.since most of us will be busy, also the Minister for Magic will be coming in."
Harry's stomach lowered and he thought, "Great now my dad's getting in on my school life.like mom isn't enough, not that it's bad having her around."
A sudden thought passed through Harry's mind and he raised his hand.
"Mr Potter?" McGonagall asked.
All eyes shot towards Harry as he asked, "How long is the Minister staying?"
"Until the students are found and the culprit is caught."
Hermione looked at Harry and saw the look of worry pass through his eyes as he mumbled in a question form, "Crystal."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
The next few weeks were very odd.
They all got new Schedules that looked like this:
9:00-10:00 - Potions
10:00 - 11:00 - Defence Against Dark Arts
11:00 - 12:00 - Herbology
12:30 - 1:30 - Charms
1:30 - 2:30 - History of Magic
2:30 - 3:30 - Transfiguration
"Hey Harry, where's Hermione?" Ron asked sliding into the seat across from Harry.
"No idea," He replied.
The two boys got up for Potions class.
As they sat down together in the Dungeons Hermione suddenly burst in and sat down with them then let out a sigh of relief.
"Look the perfect match! Potty, Granny and Weasel!" Malfoy said out loud.
Then like yesterday the dungeon doors burst open and they heard heavy footsteps.
Malfoy, thinking it was Snape said, "Too bad we got a carrot, bookworm and four eyes in this class."
"20 potions from Slytherin for 2 insults to 3 people, now keep quite Malfoy," The teacher said.
They all looked over to see not Snape but Sirus Black.
"OK today we're just going to be observing vitirusum (Spelling?). Does anybody know what that is?" Sirus asked looking around
To no one's surprise Hermione's hand shot up but so did Harry's.
"Hmm.Harry AND Hermione, answer together."
Everybody blinked well Harry laughed a bit.he knew Sirus was like this.
Hermione nodded and they both said, "It's the strongest type of truth potion made. It can make you spill out your greatest secret with half a drop of it."
"Very good, take 10 points each for Gryffindor," Sirus said proudly.
"OK, does anybody think they could TRY and make vitirusum?"
All heads. even the Slytherins turned to Hermione who blushed and shook her head no.
Sirus didn't think many could do that, but he was always good in Potions and had taught 2 people some of the most complex potions he knew.
Harry saw Sirus looking at him expectantly.
Harry sighed and raised his hand.
All eyes turned to him with shock and Sirus said, "OK Harry, I want you to come up and see if you can make it."
After 45 minutes Harry going very quickly and with some pointers from Sirus make a clear liquid.
The door to the Dungeon slowly creped open as another man walked silently in.
"Ok, this look like a pretty good truth potion," Sirus said with a smile at Harry.
"I think we should test it," Came the cold voice of Snape.
All eyes turned to him and Sirus walked over to him.
They talked quietly for a moment then Snape turned around and walked out.
"Sorry class, we'll have to do this tomorrow, I've got to take you to Defence Against Dark Arts," Sirus said.
After a tuff day of work they finally got to their last class.
Harry let out a sudden groan of annoyance.
"What's with you?" Ron asked him.
"I don't wanna go to Transfiguration."
"Why?" Hermione asked him.
"You'll see," Harry replied.
They all took their normal seats.and everybody noticed Harry suddenly went from not wanting to be there to bursting with excitement.
All of them were getting weird looked when the classroom went dark.
All the girls screamed when suddenly there was a flash of light and the lights went back on.
The first thing they saw was a man standing at the front of the classroom laughing.
They all looked around and saw they were all different colors.well except one person.
Harry was also laughing his head off but his normal color.
The man frowned and said, "Harry you were suppost to change color."
Harry smirked then suddenly the man was shocking pink with bright orange, green and yellow poladots.
The man looked at himself for a second.
The whole class held their breath waiting for Harry to get lots of points off of Gryffindor.
But instead the man laughed.
"Ok that's enough."
They, including himself were all back to their normal color.
"Hello, I'm your Transfiguration teacher for the time being. Now instead of introducing myself I'm gonna let you all guess."
Harry's hand went strait up in the air and the man said, "You don't count. Go to sleep or something."
Harry made a look of mock insult then lowered his hand.
After a few minutes Parvati went into hystaric.
Harry couldn't help it, he suddenly broke out laughing too.
Semus and Neville who also knew the man started laughing.
"What?" Some people asked.
Parvati, Semus and Neville pushed Harry up to the front of the classroom, all 4 still laughing.
Harry stood beside the teacher for a moment well everybody looked confused.
Hermione suddenly slapped her head then her hand shot up.
"Yes.umm?" The man glanced and Harry.
"Hermione."
"OK yes Hermione?"
"Your James Potter right?" Hermione asked.
"Yes you got the right," Harry, who was still laughing a bit sat between Ron and Hermione.
Ron's eyes bulged out of his head and his hand shot into the air.
"Yes Ron?"
"Your James Potter? The Minister for Magic?" Ron asked him.
"Yes, one in the same, but your to call me Professor Potter.and please don't go handing me your Herbology homework."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
OK I was gonna keep going but I decided to stop there, sorry peeps.
Also I WOULD send people pics of the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Cover but I don't know how to send pics through email.pathetic huh?
Well please review.
