Twisted Paths

Author's notes: Okay I'm finally putting up Part Six….

Part 6

"Harry… Ron…" Hermoine started from the door and saw the boy's fighting she stopped short. Once she had gotten control of herself she then took some action. "Neville stop standing there looking like an idiot go and get Ms McGonagall and tell her to come up NOW!" Hermoine yelled. After Neville had left she stood between the two boys.

"What's going on?" Hermoine asked but got no reply.

"Your going to tell me on the count of three or you'll have to tell it to Ms McGonagall…" She tried again. Harry and Ron glared at each other.

"What's going on here?" Ms McGonagall asked sternly. Harry had only seen Ms Mc Gonagall look that angry once before, when Harry and Ron had missed the train to Hogwarts in their second year.

"He started it" Ron spoke up immediately.

"I did not you did!" Harry said in protest.

"You threw the first punch" Ron retorted.

"You're the one who wanted to be more like ME" Harry responded.

"BOY'S!" Ms McGonagall yelled, "You two have detention's and also 5 points taken off for fighting." And with that she left the room.

Hermoine's eyes darted towards Harry and Ron as if wondering what was going to happen next. Harry soon got tired of this and stormed out of the room.

"Leave me alone Herm" Ron automatically said, and then storming to his bed. Hermoine sighed and went down to the common room.

"Hermoine, what happened?" Fred asked after seeing Harry run right past Sirius, George and himself. Hermoine just shook her head.

"Is Ron being pigheaded again?" George spoke up.

"And Harry… It's like he blames everything that happened on himself," Hermoine explained.

"I knew it!" Sirius explained giving Hermoine the shock of her life having not noticed him before.

"SIRIUS what are you doing here?" Hermoine asked, once she had calmed down.

"I'm free didn't Harry tell you?" Hermoine shook her head.

"Between feeling sorry for himself and beating Ron up he didn't have the chance."

"HE WHAT?" Came a chorus of voices.

"Beat Ron up…. I'm not quiet sure of the story but it had something to do with Ron saying he was like Harry now and then Harry overreacting." Hermoine explained.

"Yeah that sounds like Ron" Fred said nodding. George shook his head.

"I can't believe what Ron said would cause Harry to hit him…"

"Maybe Harry's trying to distance himself from his friends because he's probably blaming himself for your parents death" Sirius thought out loud. Hermoine nodded in agreement.

~*^*~

Meanwhile Harry was wondering around the corridors. He had to admit that he hadn't wanted to hit Ron; it just got too much for him.

"Potter, missing Weasly and Granger I see." Harry flinched when he recognised the voice.

"Malfoy, surprised to see you with out Crabby and Goyle" Harry pointed out. Draco turned a little red, "Not so tough are you? Without your goons by your side"

"Stuff it Potter"

"Make me"

"Boys its not a good option as Prefects to be fighting…" Professor Dumbledore said with a bemused grin on his face.

"Sorry Professor." Both boys mumbled.

"Wait a second POTTERS a prefect????" Draco exploded.

"MALFOY'S A PREFECT????" Harry exploded with that realisation a second later.

"Yes and you two will have to learn to get along… or else…." Professor Dumbledore added as an afterthought.

"Who's the second Gryffindor prefect professor?" Draco asked calmer.

"Ms Granger is" Draco flinched, "And Mr Potter I will be telling her tonight" Harry nodded and couldn't help but snicker at his archenemies face.
