Okay, responses.
Scott: okay, a misspelled name is not the end of the world. Also I was already corrected on that, and it should be correct from that chap. on.
Dawndrina: well I am glad you like. Here is more, no Mafalda though, sorry.
AM Bookworm: yeah, I thought that would be the best way to get Malfoy's goat. Also he will write her, but my question is really; about what?
All Roads Lead to Hell: hmm. I hadn't thought of that one. I know what Harry is going as . . . but that's a secret. I had an idea of who Ron would go as (dementor) but . . .
Jack: I cant remember anyplace specific where JKR sets down what house Lily is in. if you could tell me which book and chapter I will be glad to admit that I am wrong.
Okay ya'll because of "All Roads Lead to Hell" we have a open suggestions. Costumes, who as what and why. The only person off limits is Harry. I am pretty sure he is going to win. His costume will scare every ghost, portrait, and teacher (especially Snape).
Okay, enough of that. On with the show.
Harry Potter and the Warriors of Zelcara
Schedules
Harry awoke the next morning with an hour till lessons. He threw a pillow at Ron to wake him, but his friend only continued to snore. Eventually they were all up and at breakfast. Hermione was already there handing out Schedules, and giving Ron an evil eye for making her do it all. Ron was, as usual, oblivious as he dug in ravenously to breakfast.
"Here you go Harry," she said giving him his schedule.
"Ahh, cripes," Harry complained upon seeing Potions first on his schedule. Not only that it was double potions, after that lunch, then charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts. Harry sighed and thought, 'well it could be worse.'
Ron looked over at Harry's schedule and said, "Hey mate, we're not in the first class together, or the next."
Hermione sat down between them and admonished Ron, "Of course not. You don't have Potions this year. And this year we start our mixed classes. We'll have members of all houses in our classes. What did you think would happen when not everyone has all the same classes?"
Ron was sufficiently silenced. Hermione then turned and said, "Harry, you'll never guess who has Potions with us!"
"Who," asked Harry absently. He was hungry and only had fifteen minutes till Hermione would make them leave for potions.
"Neville."
"Neville who?" asked Ron.
"Our Neville," Hermione said sternly.
"How?" asked Harry incredulously.
"How did you get in Harry?" Hermione asked sarcastically. Harry yielded the point. "Strange thing was, when he saw it first, he wasn't terrified. He just got that resolute look, you remember the one from the D.A. The one that says he isn't ever going to give up. He is acting very different this year."
"Yeah, what do you think it is?" Harry asked.
As none had answers they began to pack their things up. Ron had Charms first. Harry called to Hermione once he was out of view, "Uh, Hermione. Can I talk to you about something?"
"About what Harry?"
"Well, about the Autumn Ball coming up. In fourth year I hated the Yule Ball because I waited so long to ask someone that I wound up going with someone I did give a flying knut about. And I don't want to make that mistake this year."
"what are you saying Harry?"
"Well, I guess I'm saying that I . . . uh . . . erm . . . Hermione would you . . . er . . . that is if you don't already have . . . damn it. Why is it I can face three headed dogs, fly circles around dragons, and ride hippogriffs, but I cant ask my best friend to a ball . . . oops."
"Harry, did you just ask ME to the Autumn Ball?"
"Well, yes. I care about you a lot Hermione, and I think going with you would be fun. I . . . er, well. I like you. That is, as more than a friend. I have never really known how to tell you, but I do Hermione."
Harry thought she was going to cry. "I would love to go to the ball with you Harry," she said. She gave him a big hug and pecked him on the cheek. His eyes widened and she smiled embarrassedly and said, "oh, and um . .. . me too, you know about liking you." She blushed and was ready to run. As the began to walk down the hall, Hermione bumped into Harry, and he smiled. He bumped her back and took her hand in his once she got back.
As they approached the dungeon classroom, Neville looked at the only other Gryffindors in the class and smiled as he saw their hands. "'bout time," he said with a wicked smile. They entered the class room and were about to unpack their things when they read the black board:
Potion assignment: Veritaserum
Partners are assigned:
Potter-Goyle
Granger-Boote
Longbottom-Malfoy
They didn't need to read any further to see this wouldn't be fun. But as Hermione looked at Neville she saw an odd expression. It was like the one Harry got when he was chasing after a snitch. One that understood that something wasn't easy, but that he could do it, without a doubt he could do it. Harry was happy to see who Neville was paired with, even if Neville did poorly, at least someone who deserved it would be drinking the potion.
It was then that Snape walked past. He stopped and turned to Harry and Neville, and said, "I want you to know that you are both in this class against my greatest protests."
Neville then looked at Prof. Snape and proceeded to amazes his friends . . .
