Chapter 6- Darn They're Still Weird
The next day, Harry woke up and prayed that everyone was back to their original selves. He got out of bed and saw Ron, Dean and Seamus getting ready to down to breakfast.
"Hey guys!" said Harry.
They turned around.
"Don't talk to me, Potter," Ron snapped.
Darn he's still weird, Harry thought.
"Fine," Harry snapped at Ron. He turned to Seamus and Dean. "Can you believe him? I dunno what his problem is."
"That's cuz you're the one who has problems and not him," said Dean.
"Yeah," Seamus added.
"And don't go talking to them either, Potter. They hate you too," said Ron.
"Oh whatever," Harry said annoyed. "Just leave me alone."
"We sure will," said Ron.
"And if you ever talk to us again, we'll beat you up," said Seamus.
Ron, Seamus and Dean left. Harry sighed and got changed and walked down to the Great Hall. Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle ran up to him.
"Hey Harry! How's it going?" Malfoy asked.
Why is Malfoy talking to me? Harry wondered. He was sure Malfoy was pulling a fast one.
"Um, ok I guess. But I have to ask you something," said Harry.
"Sure go ahead," Malfoy said.
"Don't you hate me?" Harry asked.
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle started laughing.
"Hate you?" Malfoy asked. "Harry I don't hate you at all! You're my pal and my god! Me and Crabbe and Goyle practically worship you and are in the process of building a shrine of you in our dormitories!"
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle bowed down and began worshiping Harry. Ron stomped up to Harry with Hermione following closely behind.
"Hey they're bowing to Harry! Is he a king?" she asked dumbly.
"I bet you like this don't you Potter?" Ron snapped. "Huh? What are you talking about?" Harry asked.
"Now you have people from great rich wizarding families like the Malfoys worshiping you," Ron snapped.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were jealous," Harry said calmly.
Ron glared at him and stomped away.
"I think he hates you," Hermione said.
"No duh," said Harry. "What the heck...?"
Professor McGonagall had walked into the Great Hall with her hair down and in a mini-skirt.
"Hey guys! McGonagall finally got the guts to put her hair down!" Ron yelled.
"That's right Mr. Weasley," Professor McGonagall said happily.
"That outfit is not appropriate for school," Fred said to George. "According to rule number 35 of the Rules of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry any skirts in the school must be as long as your knees."
"Yeah and that skirt shows too much skin," George added.
"Yeah, way too much WRINKLY skin!" Percy said in a hillbilly voice. "Hahahahahahaha!"
"Oh man I really messed things up. I'd better get outta here before they figure out I did it," Harry said to himself.
He ran out of the Great Hall and stayed in his dormitory for the rest of the day.
*+*+*+*+
It was Thursday and Harry was walking to Potions when Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle walked up to him.
"Hey Harry!" they said.
"Uh, hi guys," said Harry.
"Would you like to sit with us in Potions today?" Malfoy asked.
"Sure," said Harry.
"We like to sit as far away from Snape as possible. He's such a loser," said Malfoy. "Right Crabbe and Goyle?"
"Yeah we despise him," they said.
Harry was amazed that Crabbe and Goyle knew big words like despise but he kept that thought to himself. They walked into the Potions room. Professor Snape was sitting at his desk.
"Ah, Harry. You're here! It's so wonderful to see you. Please sit down and make yourself comfortable," Snape said smiling at him.
Snape waved his wand at a chair in the front of the room and a bunch of pillows came on it.
"Wow thanks," Harry said, rearranging the pillows in a way that it would be comfortable for him.
"Harry, Harry, Harry. It's my job to make sure you're 100% happy in my class," Snape said.
"Guess we'll see you later then," Malfoy said.
They walked to the back of the room and sat down. Ron, Seamus and Dean walked in.
"You're in my seat Harry," Ron snapped.
"Yeah move it loser," said Dean.
"Or we'll move you," added Seamus.
"Sorry guys, but Snape gave ME the V.I.P. seat and not you. So you'll have to sit someplace else," said Harry.
"I'll get you for this Potter!" Ron snapped at Harry.
He stomped away and Seamus and Dean followed him. Hermione and Neville walked into the room.
"Where's my seat?" Hermione asked.
"Out there!" Ron said pointing out the window.
"Ok!" said Hermione.
She skipped toward the window and opened it. She was about to jump out of it but Neville grabbed her arm.
"No Hermione. You're seat is precisely over there next to mine," he said pointing.
They sat down.
"Is everyone here?" Snape asked. "Good. Today we're going to learn about Polyjuice Potions. Who can tell me one thing you need for a Polyjuice Potion?"
"I know!" Hermione called out. "Butterbeer?"
"No Miss Granger. That's wrong," said Snape.
Neville raised his hand.
"Yes Mr. Longbottom?" Snape asked.
"You need a hair from the person you're turning into," said Neville.
"That's right! 100 points for Gryffindor," said Snape.
Snape asked questions about Polyjuice Potions for the rest of the class and Neville answered almost all of them (Harry answered a couple and so did Ron). By the end of the class, Gryffindor had over 1000 points. Harry noticed that Snape never looked at any of the Slytherins or asked them any questions once throughout the whole class. After Potions ended, Harry met up with Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle in the hall.
"Man Snape was tough today," Malfoy said.
"Actually I didn't think he was that bad," said Harry.
"That's cuz he loves you," Ron snapped from behind him. "Oh lookie here, Potter's a teacher's pet!"
Dean and Seamus laughed. Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle looked appalled.
"How dare you speak to Harry in such a way!" Malfoy yelled.
"Yeah, he's way better than you 3 put together," said Crabbe.
"We'll see who's better than Harry once I kick his sorry butt!" Ron yelled.
He began fighting with Harry. Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle joined in to help Harry and Dean and Seamus joined in to help Ron.
"What's going on here boys?" a voice said from behind all of them.
The fighting stopped and they turned around and saw Professor McGonagall staring at them.
"Professor we were just--" Harry began.
"That's ok boys," she said. "Please continue whatever you were doing as long as no one gets killed."
She walked away and the fight started up again. Eventually Harry, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle got the upper hand and Ron, Seamus and Dean ran away.
"We'll get you next time Potter!" Ron yelled as he ran.
"Yeah!" Dean and Seamus added.
Harry said good-bye to Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle and went back to his dormitory and fell asleep after a long crazy day.
The next day, Harry woke up and prayed that everyone was back to their original selves. He got out of bed and saw Ron, Dean and Seamus getting ready to down to breakfast.
