Ok, here we go! Harry potter and the beginning of the end, chapter 16!!!
Harry and Ron didn't go to Quidditch practice. They found Hermione (in the library of course). She was as shocked as they were. Harry, though, was again beginning to fell the prickles of anger that always accompanied the mention of Voldemort's name. As far as Harry was concerned, Voldemort had an awful lot to answer for, and not just for his parents and Sirius, either. Neville's parents too, and all the other people that Voldemort had hurt or taken over the years. Sometimes the list seemed endless.
When the three of them went to Dumbledores office, he wasn't in, the same with Professor McGonagall. Ron kicked on of the suits of armour that lined the halls, and it stepped of its pedestal huffily and clanked away.
"Where is everyone?" grumbled Ron.
"Well, well, if it isn't Potter and his mud blood friends."
"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth Malfoy?" asked Harry, pulling out his wand and turning around, "oops, sorry, I forgot, you don't kiss your mother because of her sour expression. You know the one, where she looks like she has a nasty smell under her nose?"
Ron sniggered, and Hermione grinned as Malfoy went pink. He stepped forwards threatenly.
"Don't you talk about my mother that way Potter."
Harry tapped his wand against his side and said, "Shut your big mouth then."
Malfoy stepped forwards and Crabbe, or Goyle? Harry could never tell which, cracked his knuckles warningly.
"I have a good couple of curses for you Potter, I've been saving them."
Harry rocked back on his feet, unconcerned, "Really? I must keep that in mind."
"Hey Goyle," said Ron, grinning from ear to ear,"what's wrong? You look slightly sick."
He was right, Goyle was going green. Very, very green and it was easy to see why. Malfoy's hair was beginning to go red. And gold. And the colours where beginning to swirl, and sparkle, and drop red and gold dust everywhere. Ron began to snigger. Hermione began to giggle. Harry let out one short, sharp laugh, and Draco, seeing the gold dust floating down from his hair, put a hand up to pat it. His hand came away red and gold. He looked from his hand to the three Gryffindors, and then he, Crabbe and Goyle took off, running around the corner, though perhaps a little too late. Crabbes hair was turning the same colour as Malfoys from a charm cast by Hermione, and Goyles was going Ravenclaw colours, from a charm sent by Ron.
As the three rounded the corner there was an explosion of laughing, and a couple seconds later Neville, Luna and Ginny rounded the corner, looking back behind them, obviously watching the three colourful students.
"What did you do?" asked Ginny, gripping Nevilles shoulder to stay upright, as she was laughing so hard.
"Cleaned house," said Harry in all seriousness.
By the time the group got back to Gryffindor Common room the word was out- Malfoy's hair was red and gold and he was leaving a trail wherever he went. He had apparently been to see Madame Pomfrey, but she had either been unable to help, or unwilling, and all the Gryffindor's thought this was hilarious, and Ginny and Ron disappeared for a little while, and returned with arms full of butter beer and food, from, Ron whispered, 'Dobby and co.'.
As the party progressed, Harry grew more and more depressed, though he wasn't sure why. He just couldn't take his mind of what Hagrid had told him. He glanced around at his friends, Seamus was doing a kind of war dance, and no one was watching him. He felt it would be safe to sneak away.
Dumbledore was in when Harry arrived at his office, and answered Harry's questions without preamble. What he told Harry made Harry pace up and down once he had left the presence of the Headmaster. Dumbledore was worried, and if Dumbledore was worried, then so was Harry. He wondered if the teachers knew about the secret passage way into Hogsmead. He hoped so, otherwise... he didn't want to think about it, and resolved to ask the next teacher he saw, even if it was Snape.
Thinking of Hogsmead made him think of Zonko's. Though he was sure it wasn't as good as Fred and George's joke shop, he needed something to cheer him up now, not later. Besides, the summer holidays were coming up soon, and he wanted to visit Hogsmead just once this year.
AN; sorry about not updating. Hehehe, but tell me what u think anyway. ^_^.
