Chapter 2: The "Strange" Dream
"Harry, Ron look at this!" bellowed Hermione as she read the Daily Prophet. "What, Now! We already did our homework and you know it!" Ron screamed down from the sixth year's dormitories. The two boys reluctantly came down to the common room. Harry grabbed the Daily Prophet and said, "Oy, what'd Rita get on me this time?" But as Harry's eyes scanned the page, realization of what he was reading downed on him. He just couldn't believe what he was reading! Sure, Harry had gone through "some" changes but people paying for pictures of him. This was a bit too much. Ron snatched the paper out of Harry's hands and scanned it rapidly. He then drooped unconsciously into the armchair behind him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When he awoke, he found Hermione in hysterics over his state. Harry had apparently gone to get ice from the kitchens for Ron's head (according to Hermione that is.) "I had the strangest dream," Ron said. "I dreamt that Harry, Draco, The Twins, and I were wanted for pictures in the Daily Prophet. Weird, huh?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On his way to the kitchens, Harry found something, well, rather, someone, far better than ice. It was Draco Malfoy, and judging by his expression. Had no idea what had happened. "Hey, Potter." (The two never understood why, but they still addressed one another by last only), "What are you doing skulking the corridors without Granger and Weasley?" asked Draco in a rather dramatic voice. "You mean you really don't know?" asked Harry. "Know what?" Harry feeling it better to get out of the corridors said, "You'd better come with me." Harry led him into Gryffindor tower, where Hermione had Ron lying on the floor. Ron was telling Hermione of His "strange" dream. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You were nagging on me and Harry to do our homework! But, when we were done, you beckoned us down stairs. We then read the paper and Rita Skeeter wanted pictures of me for the Daily Prophet's Most Eligible Young Bachelor's." "Rita's a dumbass to want pictures of you Ron!" Draco broke in. "Your the Dumbass, Draco! She wants pictures of you too!" Ron screamed back. "RON!" Hermione screamed as she punched in the stomach. "It wasn't a dream."
