Chapter Three - Find Me a Patronus Statue Cont.
Small warning: Ron is obsessed with swearing in this chapter. He's says the S word, A word, and the word 'bastard'. If this offends you, please don't read.
Harry woke up the next day, eager to search again. However, he had Double Potions and Double Divinations. "Great, a full day with the Slytherins." Ron and Harry walked down to the dungeons.
Harry and Ron arrived early, which was unusual, especially at potions. However, he met Draco Malfoy at the Potions entrance.
"Oh look, it's Third-Place Potter. Losing to two girls are you?"
"Shut up, your fat ass-" Ron punched Malfoy.
"Ha! You are pathetic, both of you. I have found out you still have no points, Weasel."
He turned back to Harry. "Or is it you still miss your godfather? Sirius, wasn't it?"
"SHUT UP, OR I SWEAR I'LL HEX YOU!"
"Oh, I'm so scared..."
"Get away! Just go! Ahh! WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE? Rictusempra!"
Draco flew backwards, and ran off.
"Load of shit, I'm telling you-"
"Ron! What's with you and swearing?!"
"Sorry... but Draco Malfoy is being a bastard-"
"RON!"
"Sorry... ass-face..."
"Augh!" Harry stormed out of the room.
He went into potions and sat in the back with Hermione, Neville, and Seamus. Ron sat two rows up, avoiding Harry as best as he could.
Professor Snape walked into the room. "Raise your hand if you are in your house Scavenger Hunt..."
Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron all put their hands up. For Slytherin, Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and a sixth year whom Harry did not know had their hands in the air. Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones, Justin Flitch-Fletchley, and Zacharias Smith all played for Hufflepuff. When everyone saw who was playing for Ravenclaw, they giggled. It was just Padma Patil and Luna Lovegood.
It took everyone about 2 minutes to notice that Ginny, Luna, and Padme shouldn't be here. "Yo, what are they doing here?" shouted Goyle.
"That is not your business... Now, you, playing will get an automatic "Exceeds Expectations" on your NEWT if you get at least 3,000 points... You three can get out now."
The rest of the class was it's usual, boring self. Divination wasn't much better.
"Time to read your fortune... one of you... Harry! You... will... find what you seek!"
This raised Harry's hopes. Would he be second place in the scavenger hunt this week?
Ron, Harry, and Hermione proceeded up the astronomy tower stairs. Harry went up toward where he saw Ginny, while Hermione and Ron went to the left corridor. Harry found an odd looking door, he whispered "Alohomora!" and it opened. There, he found a small book, and a hole in the wall that would fit a mouse.
Was he supposed to transfigure this book into a mouse. He tried it, "Snufflifors!" and the book went in and threw out a statue of a small, clear stag. "Yes, a patronus statue!" He ran down the corridor, and ran up the grand staircase, running... running...
"Wendelin the Weird!"
The fat lady slid over her frame, and soon Harry was back in the common room. "Awesome, Potter," said Fred. Again, he tapped his wand on the board:
1. Harry Potter, 800 pts
2. Ginny Weasley, 600 pts
3. Hermione Granger, 500 pts
4. Ron Weasley, 0 pts
Hermione waited for either Ron or Hermione. He heard footsteps, and soon Ron came in yelling, "Yeah! I found it!" George grinned a small grin:
1. Harry Potter, 800 pts
2. Ginny Weasley, 600 pys
3. Hermione Granger, 500 pts
4. Ron Weasley, 100 pts
Hermione came in, dissapointed. "Well, still third place. I'm not out of it yet, neither is Ron. We'll beat you two!" And the four of them gave a high-five.
