5. Finally Getting Harry Potter – Phase I

Draco Malfoy, unofficial leader of Slytherin, walked through the Great Hall, looking perfectly composed as he usually was. He sat down gracefully like usual. He took his napkin and put it on his lap, like usual. He reached for his goblet, like usual. It was a custom in Slytherin house to wait until the "unofficial leader" took a sip from his drink before they could begin to eat.

But then, Harry Potter came through the doors and stumbled to the Gryffindor table. Draco did something very unusual. He grinned madly. His prey was here. He was so concentrated on the task of grinning madly at Harry that he didn't notice all the Slytherins' eyes on him.

The Slytherins all turned towards the Gryffindors' table, looking to see what was so funny. They saw nothing unusual. So they stared harder.

You can guess that the Gryffindors found it rather disturbing that the whole Slytherin table suddenly decided to stare at them. And they replied by the same mean. They stared back. The whole table stared at the Slytherins, except Harry, who, without his glasses, couldn't notice that something was unusual. He was the only one eating.

The Slytherins were sure that the Gryffindors were preparing something strange, seeing that their leader grinned at them. The Gryffindors were sure that it was some evil Slytherin plan and stared back. The Slytherins didn't like being stared back and stared harder. The Gryffindors didn't like the fact that the Slytherins could stare harder than them and stared even harder to beat them.

Soon, it became a staring contest without anyone knowing just why they were staring at the beginning. But since the enemy was staring, they stared back. The Ravenclaws and the Hufflepuffs soon noticed that something was going on. Gradually, they stopped to talk to stare at the two tables staring at each other.

So basically, everybody was staring (except Harry who was happily eating, ignorant of the situation and Draco, who was preparing the next phase of his plan). The Great Hall grew silent. The tension was unbearable. Everybody tried to stare without blinking and they were beginning to get nervous. Some were clenching and unclenching their fist and some others were gritting their teeth together...

So when a piece of orange carrot was sent flying across the hall right into Weasley's red hair, no one noticed. Not even Weasley who was too busy staring at the evil Slytherins. Another piece of carrot was sent flying into his hair. No reaction.

Draco was getting impatient. It wasn't expected that the Weasel was so damn concentrated on the staring contest. So to gain his attention, he decided to send the carrot right between his eyes. (we have to forgive his harsh action, but he badly wanted to get some tonight!)

The carrot broke Weasley's trance. He stared at it on the table. The two previous carrot fell from his head on the table. Another one came bouncing on his forehead. He looked up. It was sent from the Slytherins' table. He didn't need more information. He grabbed the nearest projectile, which was an apple pie and threw it towards the Slytherins. It was all they needed to retaliate.

Soon, as you may have guess, a food fight started.
