CHAPTER 3

Harry was livid at himself.

"Why the bloody hell, did I have to touch that clock ? I should have realized that it would fall, such as my luck ? thought Harry bitterly.

As if to dampen his mood further, Cho came by from a door. When she saw him, she muttered something indistinctly, gave him a look as a woman would look at a garbage dump and hurried away. Harry thought he heard her saying something like " toad and goat" !!

Harry kicked open the door to the portrait in frustration. The weather seemed dark as if to match his mood. He went up to the Fat Lady and muttered the password " Voldemort ". Dumbledore had insisted on using it so that everyone could get accustomed to his name. However many people still flinched.

Today, the Fat Lady peered at him and said " Harry dear, you're looking miserable. Are you all right ?"

" Yes, I'm all right" said Harry weakly, forcing a smile on his face.

The Fat Lady gave him a concerned look and slid open to let him through. Harry climbed inside to see Ron and Hermione.

" Hi Harry " said Ron.

"Hallo Ron, Hermione" said Harry walking over to them and sitting down.

"You look worried, Harry" said Hermione " Are you all right ? Has anything happened to you ?"

For a second, Harry would have wanted to tell them about the pairings, but he thought dully " it would be wiser to tell them about detention ".

"Well" grunted Harry. "I got put in detention by Filch ".

"Oh, oh" said Hermione " Why"

" What do you have to do and when " said Ron looking sorry. " I broke a clock" said Harry bitterly " And Filch put me in detention. I have to help him clean the whole castle "

"Oh, Harry, that's the worst form of detention " said Hermione

" I know" grunted Harry.

"Well" said Ron in a false voice " Me and Hermione will just go, OK Harry"

Harry grunted, " OK " and watched them go.

He perfectly knew what those two were up to. They were going to snog again.

Harry wondered what to do. He didn't want to stay in the common room for so long. Finally he decided to visit the Owlery.

He was walking down a passage when suddenly Filch came up.

" What have I done now? " said Harry suspiciously.

" Well" said Filch, looking dismayed " I came here to tell you that you're let off the detention"

Harry was amazed. " Why"

"Well, a girl came up and told me that she had done it and she deserved the punishment "

Harry was about to say " But it's not true ". When he said " Really, what was the name of that girl "

" Want to know everything, don't you " said Filch sarcastically " Well you won't, goodbye" and he strode off.
