Chap 6
Harry woke up to a bright sunny day. The rays were almost blinding. He walked down the stairs to the common room and then to the Great Hall. Karrot seemed to have regained her appetite during the night. He found her eating a plate full of bacon.
"Morning sunshine." She said after swallowing. "I didn't expect you to up at this time."
"Huh, what time is it?" A puzzled Harry yawned..
"About 6:30." She said while picking up another strip.
Harry groaned and sat down by Karrot. He would still be asleep but he had the same nightmare as before. But this time it was a bit clearer. Prof. McGonagall came over to the two of them looking as if she had just waked up.
"Here are your new timetables." She yawned as she went back up to the High Table. Harry glanced down at his table. They had Defense Against the Dark Arts first two classes. He kept looking at his table for a long time. They only had potions twice now, double classes but, still only twice. It took him a long time before he noticed that more people were streaming into the hall. He turned and saw that Karrot was now replaced by Ron and Hermonie.
"It's about time that you moved, I thought that cobwebs were about to appear if you didn't move soon." Ron said.
"Where did Karrot go?" Harry asked looking dazed.
"She left almost a half an hour ago. We met her in the common room." Hermonie explained while scooping herself some oatmeal. "She was working on some. blue parchment. She wouldn't tell us what it was but said to watch Malfoy during breakfast when the post comes."
Just that moment, owls began streaming into the room. Neville's regular package of forgotten things, Malfoy's box of sweets. Then the three of them saw the blue parchment drop on to Malfoy's box. He opened it up curiously, then, water squirted out of it right into his face. The whole hall rang with laughter. Even some of the teachers joined in the laughter.
A minute later the water ran dry, and Malfoy ran away wet. They finished their breakfast, and headed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts where Karrot was sitting down next to the door.
"Did it work?" She asked excitedly, "It wouldn't work at home because everyone there knows about it." "Yeah it worked!" Ron exclaimed. At those words an evil smirk spread across Karrot's face that made Harry feel like he might be the next target. "What was it anyways?"
"Water parchment. I need to adjust it some more but when it's perfect, It'll be my key to destruction. " Karrot said proudly.
Prof. Lupin and Prof. Toyamatto came strolling down the hallways and unlocked the door. The three of them sat down as the rest of the Gryffindors entered the room.
"Don't unpack your books." Prof. Toyamatto commanded. "Line up and follow me. Rea- uh. Prof. Lupin, follow at the end of the line."
She led them down the hallways, pass Peeves, thru the Great Hall, and outside in to the heat of the late summer. The sun was blazing hot and Harry felt as if he was about to melt into a puddle. They were led into the Quidditch pitch where there was an aquarium filled with.
"Grindylows!" Prof. Lupin exclaimed. "Now, all of you will be taking turns facing the creatures. You will have the Bubble Head charm placed on you so you may breathe. If you think you must go over the spell to repel them, please follow Prof. Toyamatto."
Neville and a few of the girls went to be re-toughed the charm while Dean went to face the Grindylows. Harry couldn't help but laugh when he saw all the Grindylows tackle Dean and pin him to the ground. After being rescued, he went to learn the spell again. Harry was the next to go up against them and did quite well, so did Hermonie and Ron. Karrot was the last student from the class to face the creature of the water world. Karrot used the weirdest spell Harry has ever sawn. He didn't hear what she said because of the fact that she was under water, but it blasted the five Grindylows through the glass wall and hit Ron in the gut.
"Ron!" Karrot yelled as she ran to her red-headed friend "I'm so sorry! Are you O.K?"
"Yeah. I just need to learn to breathe again." He joked.
