Life
Harry Potter dreamed.
************************************************************************
The rest of the week went by without any major incidents. Today was the day Harry had been looking forward to anyway; their first flying lesson. Harry had found it easy enough to call the broom up into his hand. He and Malfoy glared at each other as both their brooms hit their hands at the same time. Ron's broom flew up and smacked him directly in the face. Harry laughed as Hermione uselessly begged her broom to move.
Harry was soon disappointed because Neville had gotten himself injured. Madam Hooch had taken him to the hospital wing making sure to state that anyone who was caught flying would be expelled. As soon as they were out of earshot, Malfoy and the rest of the Slytherins started laughing. They kept on making fun of Neville while some of the Gryffindors defended him. Malfoy, while laughing, happened to see Neville's remembrall, and picked it up.
"Look at this!" he shouted in triumph, "Longbottom forgot to remember the only thing that lets him remember." The Slytherins laughed at his stupid joke. "I better put it in a safe place eh, Potter?"
"Give it here Malfoy," said Harry. He, having fought to many evils in the world lately, wanted just one good thing to happen today.
"Tough luck Potter!" Malfoy shouted jumping on his broom and taking off, "what's wrong Potter, afraid of heights?" The Slytherins started laughing again. Harry picked up a broom and prepared to kick off, when Hermione snatched it from underneath him.
"I'll not allow you to get in trouble because of him," she scolded. Harry got up slowly, nodding in agreement. She started to smile, but frowned when Ron threw Harry and broom and he was flying before she could do a thing. She had to admit to herself though; he was a very good flier. Everyone watched as he leveled himself with Malfoy, who was more than a little surprised, and they started trading threats. Malfoy seemed to be getting nervous and definitely freaked when Harry charged him. He dodged and then threw Neville's ball.
Malfoy watched as Harry sped after the ball, then he landed not wanting to be caught. Harry zipped after the ball and dived at it when it started arcing down. He caught it just before it hit the ground. He jumped off the broom, did a few summersaults, and ended standing up, quite dizzy. The Gryffindors cheered for him but soon stopped.
"Harry Potter!" Professor McGonagall's yell drowned out the cheering. Harry didn't know what to think. Malfoy started snickering. All he thought of as she led him off was how disappointed Sirius would be.
************************************************************************
Hermione was sitting on the couch in the common room the next day. She hadn't seen Harry at all after the incident. Unknown to her, Harry had spent the rest of yesterday learning a new subject. "I tried to stop him, I did the best I could," she keep telling herself. Then she saw Harry and Ron come down from the boy's dorms, but they were.excited not disappointed.
"Harry?" she asked, not needing to state the question.
"She made me seeker!" said Harry happily.
Hermione's eyes opened wide, "what!"
"Harry is the new Gryffindor seeker!" said Ron, "isn't it great!"
"First years." she started to say.
"That's the thing, Harry has special permission," said Ron, "and they're getting him a new broom too. I think we should eat." Then Ron added quickly, "to celebrate the fact that something good came out of it instead of something bad."
"I am hungry," said Harry. So they headed down to breakfast.
As they were eating Malfoy 'happened' to pass by. "Eating our last breakfast Potter?"
"Shove it Malfoy!" said Hermione, surprising everyone, and making Harry laugh.
"Now, now, now," began Malfoy, "just because you'll miss your boyfriend doesn't mean that you have to blame it on me. He was the one that flew up after me in the first place."
Before any of them could comment, owls started flying in. There were a couple of owls carrying a large package in, and they left it right in front of Harry.
"Oh, by the way Malfoy, Thank you," Harry said grinning as he picked up the package and the letter, "without your help I wouldn't be getting this gift." Then Harry, Hermione, and Ron got up and walked out of the great hall. Malfoy stared after them in disbelief. From afar, Anthony grinned, now he would have to find himself a place on his house's team so he could compete with Harry.
*********************************************************************
A week or so later found Harry in the dreaded potions class. He was in the process of writing a note to Hermione, since it was too dangerous to talk, and she was doing all the work anyway. Ron was helping, or more like getting in the way of, Hermione when Snape barked at Harry.
"Potter, one point for not participating," He said. Then he turned to see what he could yell at Neville for. Harry unknowingly had risen to his feet, but Hermione tackled him before he could advance on Snape. Snape turned, hearing the thud, to see Hermione on top of Harry, both lying on the floor. They quickly got up, red faced. "Well, Miss Granger here seems to have a slight control problem," said Snape raising an eyebrow, and grinning evilly, "ten points.each." Then, as he turned around, everyone, including Ron, started snickering. The Gryffindors in the room stopped quickly, though, losing twenty points isn't something to be laughing about.
Harry finished to note quickly handing it to Hermione before starting to act like he was doing something useful. She read it and almost laughed out loud. Harry basically had written about how bored he was, and that he was planning to curse Snape. She looked at him with a sorrowful look and handed the note back. He read it and rolled his eyes, she had written a sarcastic response on how sorry she was that he was bored and that she doubted he could catch Snape off guard. Hermione laughed to herself, while Ron was looking back and forth between them. He had a look that said 'am I missing something?'
"No," whispered Harry half-smiling. 'Well Hermione, I might not be able to curse Snape, but this potion sure will' and he pulled out a brittle test tube. He lightly tossed it and watching it explode on Snape's back. Snape turned around and glared at Harry, but his glare started to disappear. As the potion soaked into his skin, he started smiling uncontrollably. The class soon burst out laughing as Snape took away ten point from Gryffindor, still smiling.
After potions, they all headed to lunch. A few people congratulated Harry on his way. Harry sat down and absentmindedly fingered the small sword-shaped amulet around his neck, and found himself sitting in his private bubble at the bottom of the lake.
"Oh, great," Harry said to himself.
"Hello Harry," said the spirit, "what are you doing here?"
"Well, I didn't really mean to, but it is relaxing to be here," said Harry.
"Angry, is not the only emotion you're feeling lately," said the spirit, slightly grinning.
"What!" exclaimed Harry, "How."
"I was speculating, it seems I was right," the spirit smiled at Harry.
"I have to go," said Harry nervously and he grabbed the pendant, finding himself at the edge of the lake.
************************************************************************
Harry walked down a hall, not really caring where he went. 'She is right' he said to himself, 'I do have something else on my mind.' Then he shook his head. 'What are you thinking!' he scolded himself, now taking in his new surroundings. He slowly started to find his way back. He had been walking a while when he heard some voices up ahead. As he moved closer he recognized the voices as Anthony and Tracy's.
"So, you and Harry have known each other long?" she asked.
"Yeah, really long," said Anthony, "but not nearly as long as Hermione has known him. From what I gather she was the first kid to ever be his friend."
"They have known each other that long," she said and started snickering, "and they still don't know?"
"No," said Anthony, sounding amused himself, "they don't, but they should figure it out soon."
"Oh well," she said, "lunch is almost over, we should get to class." They left then and Harry quietly followed them for awhile before heading to his next class.
"I wonder what they were talking about?" Harry asked.
"Who?" said a voice beside him. He turned his head quickly to see that it was Hermione.
"Anthony and Tracy were saying." then it hit him. 'No, that can't be it' he thought.
"What were they saying?" asked Hermione, shattering his thoughts.
"I. I can't remember that well," he lied.
"Yeah right Harry," she said, but she let it drop. She asked about his disappearance during lunch and he again tried to brush the question off. She then bothered him about it for the rest of the day.
