POTTY WEE POTTER
(A/N : This is my 8th Harry Potter fic. I do not own Harry Potter. )
Chapter 8
A speck of mud flicked up splashing Ron's lip and he groaned. 'Harry really did come back from that meeting with crazy ideas.' He thought to himself as they crept through the tunnel between the Shrieking shack and the Whomping willow tree. Dumbledore would have known they were in the grounds within minutes (and probably would have acted as if he didn't know anyway) but Snape, Harry decided, he could sneak by.
"Much further ?" Luna asked from the back of the group. Her hair was tangled in cobwebs and her expensive shoes were covered in mud and insects. She was not used to this. Ever since she had got the job as editor of the Quibbler she had lost her interest in adventure. But if it was a choice of life or death what choice did she have.
"No not much." Harry muttered from the front of the single filing adult wizards. He hated returning to the tunnel. The last time he had used it he had been in it had been walking side by side with Sirius. He remembered the night vividly, certainly not as well as the night in the department of mysteries, but he could remember that he was happy. That he had found a link to his parents and had thought that he would have been leaving the Dursley had filled him with joy but this trip only filled him with sadness.
Ron too hated the tunnel, but for very different reasons. Cobwebs occasionally touched his face and his reaction made Ginny laugh from behind him. Ron hated spiders but the same thought kept creeping into his mine. At least it wasn't Aragog's lair.
Hermione on the other hand loved the idea of returning to school she had already been planning secret trips to the library in her head although she didn't think she would be able to get up to it without Harry stopping her. Their life's were of course on the line.
At last they arrived at the exit. Two Familiar face's stared back at them and for a second Harry feared Trelawny had double crossed them until he realised who was stood with her. It was Hagrid. The half-giant was beaming, a huge smile that stretched from ear to ear, his huge moleskin coat still wrapped around him. He hadn't aged a day.
"Best be quick 'arry" He muttered through the wind. Autumn had truly arrived and the Whomping willow's leaves rattled around the grounds like drunken cows. He offered Harry his hand and pulled him from the hole. Harry stared at the castle. He was home again.

"We got Flitwick distracting Snape but that still doesn't buy us much time." Trelawny announced as the group made their way through the entrance hall doors. Harry was surprised at how many teachers we're helping them and for a moment wondered how many more were helping until he saw the hourglasses. Slytherin were winning by about three inches of stones. Trust Snape to be cheating.
They made their way slowly down the dungeon stairs and walked down the corridor until the reached a room with 'CLOSED FOR HAZARD' written on the door. Ron gulped.
"It's not Dangerous in there is it ?" He asked Trelawny and to his surprise another familiar voice.
"Not unless you think Ghosts can hurt you," Nearly Headless Nick said from behind the group making everyone but Luna jump. "The new headmaster is making all us Ghost stay in here until the exorcist arrives in May. I don't mind, it's just Peeves keeps throwing things."
Harry groaned. Peeves had not him it so much trouble. Hermione smiled.
"Well at least we can catch up on the Hogwarts gossip."
