HARRY POTTER AND THE MYSTICAL HERO
by Hikari Mirai
LAST TIME ON HARRY POTTER AND THE MYSTICAL HERO--
Hermione shook her head. 'Am I the only sane one here?' she thought, as
she watched Carlotta run around in horror for thinking. 'I have to be.
Otherwise, I'm not Hermione Granger.' She saw Atalanta scream in horror
and hid under her bed when Katarina came in with a blow dryer. 'I have
to be. I just have to be.'
Chapter Nine
It was Potions after breakfast, and Ron found himself dreading about actually getting up that morning. Atalanta, Carlotta, and Katarina never liked Potions, but didn't understand why all the students except the Slytherins hated Potions. Well, they're in for a surprise.
Hermione, Ron sat in the back, far away from the front of the room. Every Gryffindor was there, except for Harry, and the honly free places were at the front, which Atalanta, Carlotta, and Katarina took.
It wasn't until the very last Slytherin sat down when Professor Snape barged in. He eyed the rows of Gryffindor before saying, "And where has Potter gone to? Too famous to get to Potions lessons?"
"Uh, actually, sir, Harry got a large book dropped on his head and somethign else I don't know, and Madam Promfrey won't let him out." Atalanta answered politely.
"Five points for Gryffindor for not bothering to raise your hand." Snaped said in a feirce tone.
"Kay." Atalanta answered, shrugging.
Snape glared at the brunette, but said nothing. Instead he said, "Today we are going to make a potion."
Carlotta rolled her eyes. Snape didn't seem to notice, and he contnued.
"It is called the Semper Endormant. Does anybody besides Miss Granger know what it is?"
Snape watched as all his students besides Hermione look blankly at him.
"What am I teaching?! A bunch of boneheads? I'm sure you all have something in those little heads of yours. Use it." Snape said softly.
Atalanta flipped through her Potions book, and stopped at a certain page. With a look of triumpht, she raised her hand.
"Yes, Miss Hunters?" Snape asked icily.
"The Semper Endormant is a potion that puts you in an eternal sleep. You'll never wake up." She answered indiffrently.
"Three points to Gryffindor." Snape said relunctantly. "Next time, you better not look it up at the last minute or you'll never get points."
Atalanta shrugged again before she started to doodle on a spare peice of parchment.
The list of ingredients is on page 210." Snape snapped, and all the students flipped to the page and started the potion.
FOr thirty minutes, the students made their potion, Snape was observing each cauldron, critizing the Gryffindors and praising the Slytherins.
And it quickly got annoying. Ron found himself wishing he had at least broken his leg so he could get to the Hospital Wing, and take his sweet time walking back after his leg was healed.
Hermione on the other hand, was working feverishly, hoping she didn't screw up her potion, and double checking eveything.
The only person Snape didn't mention was Hermione. He couldn't critize her potion, it was absolutely perfect. But he wasn't about to praise a Gryffindor any time soon.
Nothing exciting happened, until Pansy Parkinson screamed.
"Parkinson, what is it?" Snape shouted.
"Professor Snape...the stupid potion book bit me!" Parkinson screamed. "I swear it did! It was like it had teeth!"
"Don't be silly Parkinson!" Snaped barked.
Malfoy, who was seated next to Parkinson, backed up his fellow Slytherin. "It did, Professor! I saw it!" he said frantically. "The book did bit her!"
The Slytherins around Parkinson agreed, some were looking scared, and others were indiffrent about it. At least the book didn't crawl like a crab like the Monster Book of Monters did. They may be Slytherins, but they did had some sense. Not alot, they barely had sense, but enough to know it was probably nothing compred to the biting book from third year.
Snape was loosing his patient. "I can assure you, potion books do not-!" he was cut off by his own scream of pain when Parkinson's potion book bit him.
***
Madam Promfrey let Harry out that night to dinner, and Hermione and Ron told him about the Potions class.
"...and Snape picked the book up and it bit him! He *screamed*!" Ron finished. "He went ballistic and took off 20 points from each house! Including Slytherin! I think he's gone mad!"
"Snape is acting strange isn't he? Honestly, I wasn't really expecting him to tkae points off of Slytherin before he retired." Hermione interject.
"Potions class sounded exciting." Harry said.
"And he gave Atalanta and me detention because our potion was...some kind of icky green color, and Katarina got it for asking him if he was mental!" Ron whined. "Why couldn't I atleast lost Gryffindor points instead? Have I broken a school rule adding too much powdered beetles?"
"ROn-I think Snape gave you detention because he was mad." Harry. "I know I'd be andry if some book bit me, but giving people detentions for adding too much of something into their potion is a bit much."
"That's what I told him. I only got detention too." Hermione said. "He was being quite biased. Then Professor London came along to drop a letter for OotP, or something like that, and Professor Snape was so mad he nearly hexed her!"
"But she hexed him first." Ron finished. "Then we got the rest of the peirod off, and Professor London gave us a bag of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans! A bag each!"
"THen Professor Jerison popped out of nowhere and gave us Chocolate Frogs! Just because she said she wanted too! ANd if we didn't except it, she started to abuse her power!"
"Mind you, she looked like she was enjoying herself."
Harry let all the stuff Hermione and Ron sink in. Biting books and professors giving out free junk food? That's new.
"Here Harry. Atalanta didn't want her bag of Bertie Botts Every FLavor Beans, so you can have it!" Ron said, giving a small bag. "But she did want a knut. I swear, it's like Carlotta's rubbing off on her!"
"Ron, they have been firends since they were eleven. Besides, Atalanta doesn't want the knut. She's using it against Carlotta." Hermione said, jerking her head to the direction where Atalanta and Carlotta and Katarina were. Atalanta was holding the knut above Carlotta's head, telling her to do something, and Carlotta ran out of the Great Hall, followed by her two friends.
"I don't want to know what Atalanta has planned." ROn said stiffly. "If we're lucky, we'll have the Gryffindor Common Room in tact."
"What I'm worrying about is the dorms!" Harry muttered. "Remember that time when Carlotta rigged a bucket to pour water on you at three a clock in the morning?"
ROn's ears went pink. "Don't remind me."
"Katarina has an alarm clock that screams like a banshee four in the morning." Hermione commented. "Atalanta's licks people silly."
"Licks people silly?" Ron asked, looking disgusted at the thought. "When's the last time it brushed it's teeth?"
"Oh, I think about four nights ago." Hermione answered indiffrently. "Breathe smells though."
Just then, the doors to the Great Hall opened, Draco Malfoy stuttered in, looking disgruntled. Ginny Wealsey also came in, she was rather pink, and kept shotting glares at Carlotta, who was dramatically hugging a bronze knut like a lost love. In other words, Carlotta was acting like an idiot.
Muttering under her breath, she sat down next to Ron.
"What happened Ginny?" Ron asked.
"Oh, I ran into Malfoy, and to-tripped." Ginny answered huffily. "And the n Carlotta started to shoot out streamers in an adjacent hall, with wierd symbols on it."
Ron shook her head. "YOu should watch where you're going! I'd take a shower if I ran into Malfoy."
"I know, I would too." She said nervously. "But I was just too-uh-hungry."
***
Hermione was back in the dorms that night, not only with Atalanta, Carlotta, and Katarina, but with Parvati and Lavender.
Carlotta was searching under her bed for something, when she said outloud, "Why do people carve out names of couples onto beds?"
Immedietly, Lavender and Parvati went over to see. "AJ+Padfoot." Lavender read. "Oooh, do you think they make a good couple?"
Hermione stared at the carving. DId this mean that Sirius had a girlfriend who named AJ? Or was it her initials? Nickname?
"How old do you think this is?" Katarina asked.
"The carving looks old. Maybe this particular couple left Hogwarts years before?" Hermione suggested the truth.
"DO you this Padfoot person is hot?" Parvati asked, giggling.
"AH! Attack of the female horomones!" Carlotta shouted, diving under her bed. Atalant followed suit wimpering, and Katarina shook her head.
"Why would he want ot be hot? Why not cold instead?" Katarina asked, oblivious to what Parvati meant.
Parvati scowled. "What are you, an idiot?"
Carlotta let a fustrated yell from under her bed. "Don't be stupid, Parvati! I'm the idiot around here! How dumb do people get these days??"
Parvati's scowl deepened. "Shutup, Thems."
"Kay!" Carlotta answered cheerfully. There was a loud thud, followed by an "ow!". "Ooh, look! I found a spider!"
"Spider?" Atalanta asked, as her head poked out from under the bed. "Where?"
Parvati glared at Atalanta's head, then stormed out of the room, Lavender quickly following her friend.
"She's moody." Atalanta said. "But who cares about her? Where's the spider, Baka-chan?"
".... What does *baka-chan* mean again?"
Atalanta sighed. "You are an idiot."
"No, duh!"
Atalanta and Carlotta started arguing about something, then it changed to scissors, then flashlights, then windows, and so on and so forth.
Hermione shook her head, and started to look through the pages of the book 'Mystical Hero' again. Many of the pages were blank, or smudged badly, or ripped out. So far she looked through half the book, and only found 6 pages that seemed untouch and readable. Besides the first two pages, the rest were like in a diffrent language or something.
Flipping rapidly to the pages in the back, she stopped at the last page, where it said in big bold print:
A.J
+
Padfoot
Below it was the same foreign writing from the previous pages.
Narrowing her eyes a bit, Hermione asked. "Carlotta, er, what did you say was on your bed again?"
"A carving of 'AJ + Padfoot'. Why?" Carlotta answered, ending the arguement with Atalanta.
Hermione showed her three roommates the book. "That's why," Hermione answered. Carlotta and Atalanta stared at it, with a strange expression.
"YOu know...it looks like our secret code, Bakayaro." Atalanta said in a small voice.
"Freaky..." Carlotta answered.
Katarina tilted her head to the side. "It does?"
"You wrote the code! YOu oughta know!" Atalanta snapped. "I beleive it's one of the lastest codes we made."
"Codes?" Hermione asked, interested.
"Damn, shouldn't have said that." Atalanta muttered. "Er, anyways, why don't you read it, Bakayaro?"
"I like that name for some reason." Carlotta said. "Oh right. Umm..it says...'Useless information you just found I thought I should add.'"
"If you could read this, you could read the other pages! They should be in the same code!" Hermione said excitedly.
"Man, why does it have to be that code it's written in?" Carlotta whined. She flipped through the book and stopped on one page. "DO you think it's also using the number number code? Or it's just plain regular numbers?"
"I could never tell with the number number code." Katarina said, shaking her head. "Brillant idea, if we knew if we are using it or not."
"We could always highlight the number numbers when we write them! Youguys have a highliter, right?" Atalanta suggested.
"Yellow, but it won't show much on the parchment." Carlotta answered. Katarina nodded too.
"...so that means we can actually read the book!" Hermione muttered to herself. She turned to her roommates and said, "How is it that the codes are the same?"
"Beats me." Katarina answered. "I used a computer and some dingbat fonts to create the code. YOu know, when we send emails to each other. But recently, Atalanta found a way to make fonts, and wal-la! New, simpler computer code! BUt the problem was how to get them on our computers..."
"Well, I got into alot of trouble doing it, but I succeeded!" Atalanta said. "Ever since the simpler code, we've dumped that one. We're improving them all the time, and the problems is remembering what the improvements are. I'm surprised we remembered that one. Hadn't used it in ages."
"YEah, and the book looks older than us." Carlotta said, poking the book. "We'll translate, but only for a certain cost."
Carlotta got an evil look on her face. Hermione asked anyways. "What?"
"I wanna a knut!"
Hermione couldn't help but grin. It was cheap, but maybe she'll find out something about the book...?
***
Hermione told the boys of what happened in the Girl's Dorms, leaving out the unimportant ramblings.
"SOmething's going on." Ron said. "HOw can they have the same code? Isn't the muggle comtraption newer than the book?"
"Sure looks like it, doesn't it?" Hermione answered. "But if theose girls have the same exact code, then we'll be a step further into finding out where it came from!"
"YOu think something about this book is important?" Harry asked uncertainly. It was clear he wasn't very fond of the book that dropped onto his head.
"Harry, even in the wizarding world, random books don't drop on random people's heads suddenly, unless someone is up to something." Ron answered.
Carlotta came up and dropped the book on the table along with a notebook.
"This book is creeeping me out." she stated. "You know the last page with useless information right? It *changed*. Instead of 'AJ + Padfoot', it's Jannis Avery vs. Gaia."
"Changed?" Hermione asked. "Well it's a magical book...isn't it?"
"Yeah, right after Atalanta was looking through some graduation books. In one graduation book, there was a note about to some person called Gaia, saying about the perfect time to plot revenge against another person called Avery." Carlotta answered stiffly. "Noticed a pattern, Miss Bookworm? Or do you need more clues?"
WHen Hermione didn't answer, Carlotta continued.
"We ran into Professor London in the library. Somewhere in the
conversation she is rather fond of learning about werewolves, vampires,
ghosts, astrology, and muggle science books. When she left, the last
page said 'Teranika London likes to read about some dark creatures, and
science books.' Ring a bell?"
"It states useless information, when the current hold learned about
something..." Hermione said quietly.
"That's not all of it. THere's about 8-10 pages before the last page
that's blank. Everytime the useless information disappears from the
last page, it appears in on of the blank pages." Carlotta continued.
"So, am I being too paranoid, or what?"
To be continued...
