Chapter 5: Back in the common room

"What is going on with him!?" Lavender Brown screamed in the Gryffindor Common Room, "He took off ten points just because I was playing tag!"

"He took twenty points from me and George for joking around", Fred said.

"Ten points for laughing" "Ten because of chatting with my friend" "Thirty for playing Hide-and-seek!" "Five points for losing!!!!!" "Ten for winning!!!!!" "QUIET!!!"

Everyone stopped talking and saw Hermione was scowling at them all. "Shut up everyone! I think I've come up with a plan!" "Well, what is it?" asked Dean Thomas. "Let's go tell a teacher! If we tell how he's been acting so badly, they might report him to The Ministry of Magic. And then", she gulped, "He might get suspended!" "That's the most stupid idea anyone could think of, Hermione!" Ron told her nastily. "Sorry. I was only trying to be helpful". "Well you know what, I give up! We all thought of lots of ideas and they were all no use!"

"Wait Ron! I think I have a good one!" Harry said, who's been waiting for everyone to say that they gave up to tell them his plan.

"What is it? And it better work!"
