HarryPotter:YearSix-ChapterFour

"Mr. Potter, how did you manage to get into this class?" Snape sneered.

"Lot's of work, Sir," Harry answered.

"Did you bribe the examiners or did they let you slide because of your fame, hmm Potter?"

"Professor, I'm sure if you wanted to see Harry's Owl's exam, you could easily manage to get it," Hermione spoke up.

"Was I talking to you, Miss. Granger? No, I was speaking to Mr. Potter."

"More like insulting."

"Ten points from Gryfindor, Granger."

"Now, we will see if all of you should really be in this, ahh advanced class," He stared at Harry as said this, "Today, we will be brewing the Polyjuice Potion..." Harry and Hermione smiled at each other, They, okay, Hermione brewed it in second year, Snape continued to drone, blah, blah.
They brewed there potions, both Harry and Hermione brewing it perfectly, it actually wasn't such a bad Potions class, Lot's of Ravenclaw, couple of Hufflepuff, many Slytherins, they didn't know, and the plesent absence of Malfoy fron this class, he evidently did not get an outstanding in Potions, they were the only Gryfindors.
Skip to last lesson of the day, Transfiguration. Roll call, lots of Ravenclaw, couple of Hufflepuff and Slytherins and Harry and Hermione.

"Welcome to pre N.E.W.T. Transfiguration, today we will go in depth on Anamagus..." Half hour later, "...I would like at least two feet of parchment on anamagii, what you know about them, different forms people have had, if you know an anamagus, please ask them," blah, blah, "It's due in Monday's lesson, you may get started, now." ~~~~~Bell rings, everyone but Harry and Hermione rush from the classroom.
Harry clearly not noticing the bell, scraching things down.

"Miss Granger, you may go or wait outside, I'd like a word with Mr. Potter."

"Alright Professor," she nudged Harry.

"Huh?"

"I'll be outside, alright."

"Yeah."

"Mr. Potter, now that I have your attention, Congradulations!"

"For what?"

"You are the new Captain of the Gryfindor Quidditich team."

"But I was suspended... Really?"

"Absolutely, schedule with Madam Hooch, I suggest new Beaters, and Congradulations on your O.W.L.'s."

"Thank you Professor, Thank you!" He gathered his things and rushed out in the hall to see Hermione waiting for him and he hugged her.

"What is it, Harry?"

"Can you belive that I'm the new Captain of Gryfindor?"

"Oh my god, Harry Awesome!" she exclaimed, hugging him back, many people around them were wondering, 'What the heck is wrong with those two?'

"I gotta go see Madam Hooch, see if I can have tryout's Saturday, see you in a bit, Hermione."

"It's wonderful, Harry, see you later."

After Harry went to see Madam Hooch, he posted a sign in the Common Room.

TRYOUTS for the Gryfindor Quidditich Team SATURDAY at One O' Clock. Position Open- Two Beaters
Three Chasers Positions filled-Keeper-Ron Weasley
-Seeker-Harry Potter

Any Qustions contact, Harry Potter-Captain.

"Blimey Harry, why didn't you say anything?" Ron asked when he saw the poster.

"Sorry forgot, had to make that poster, have to do homework now." He sat next to Hermione and started work on his Arithmancy, ocassionly asking her a question.

Walking to dinner, Hermione pulled Ron aside and said,

"You missed it, Harry was back to normal for about twenty minutes."

"When he was told he was captain?"

"Yeah."

"I'm glad he's Captain, cause I've got those wretched Prefect duties."

"Ron, Shut up."

"How did he react?"

"I don't know how he reacted to McGonagall, but he ran out of there and hugged me."

"Glad it was you and not me, I mean could you imagine what the school would say?"

"Yeah, they'd probably talk more then they already are, He was happy for a bit, now look at him."

"He seems a little better then yesterday."

"Yeah, guess your right, no wait you are right." Harry walked next to his friends, oblivious to the coversation his friends were having next to him, his thoughts back in the tower with his Transfiguration essay and Padfoot.

Saturday came, tryouts were held and Gryfindor had four new players and a player who played the previous year at a diferent position. The new Beaters are, Neville Longbottom and Oliver's little brother, a fourth year, Louis 'Louie' Wood. The new Chasers are, Ginny Weasley, Angilina's little sister, third year, Alice Johnson and Alicia's little sister, another third year, Joan Spinnet.
Some of those families produce some good Quidditich players, many people were thinking when the results were posted.
Saturday night, Harry talked to Remus in the fire about anamagii, Hermione joined him, both got lot's of information for their essay's due Monday.

A week from Monday, Harry and Hermione got their Anamagii essays back, both recieving top marks. McGonagall commented on returning Harry's essay with a smile she said,

"Four feet of parchment Mr. Potter, I don't think you've ever handed in this much." and to Hermione she said, "Miss Granger, six feet of miniscule writing, my goodness, ten points to Gryfindor for both of you."

***********************************************************************

Besides the good news of gaining twenty points for Gryfindor with their first asignment. Harry's behavior was disterbing (Okay so was Ron's but anyhow), Okay maybe not his behavior so much as his sleeping habits, plus he held Quidditich practices at all kinds of crazy times, including five-thirty in the morning and ten at night. He's always awake before me and Ron, but never goes to sleep before us, why? Plus he seems so fatigued, what is going on with him? Hermione has been wondering for awhile now, plus the Quidditich team seems ready for mutiny, but they've also realized it's the way it has to be to win the Cup.
The question was, is Harry turning into Oliver Wood or just bottling everything up to explode like his many outbursts last year? He hasn't said a thing about last year, but theres probably good reason for that, like keeping your emotions bottled up. Why'd I have to be knocked out? Maybe Sirius would still be alive? Who am I kidding? I don't need the guilt Harry's evidently keeping, too, he needs help. And where has Ron been disappearing to? And just about everyday at that. I'm going to drive myself mad!

That last part was the musings of Hermione, if you didn't already figure it out. Next Chapter will probably be figuring out Harry and a little more about the Ron mystery, any guesses? Take a stab at it, Love the reviews! ears91. : )
