Chapter V: Colorful robes and backward Gryffindors.
7:30 the wake up call wake all who were sleeping. In the boy's dormitories Harry, Lucius, Crabbe and Goyle rolled out of bed. Lucius grabbed his clothes and ran out and headed for the bathroom. Two seconds after he left the dorm he screamed. The guys heard him and rushed out to see what the matter was.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?" asked Harry.
"No I'm not alright. Look at my robes," said Lucius.
They froze when they saw that they were hot pink. Just then Harry remembered that James and his friends were sneaking in to their common room to dye their robes, 'all of them'. He hurried back to their dorm and began to look for his robes. They were all at the bottom and when he pulled them out they were all purple and orange.
"POTTER! AGH YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!" screamed Lucius.
"What? It wasn't me I swear," said Harry. For a moment he forgot that he meant was James.
"No not you Harry. James Potter. This is his work I know it. Agh, God I hate them, all of them. The Marauders will die!" screamed Lucius. He tossed his robes to the ground and pointed his wand at them. "Mutation."
He looked at his robes and they were still hot pink. The spell didn't change them back. Just then Snape was at the door.
"What's with all the yelling? I can hear you all the way from the common room" he asked.
"Look what James and his freaks that are his friends did to our robes," said Lucius. He kicked his robes and tried the spell again, but it still didn't work.
Snape quickly went to his trunk and searched for his robes.
"Oh my God it's salmon!"
"You got fish in there?" asked Crabbe.
"No. M-my r-robes are the color salmon," said Snape.
"I can't stand for this. We got to get even with them. It was terrible that they got us at the Welcoming Feast but now this. Severus how much longer till the potion will be ready?" asked Lucius.
"I finished it last night. I will put it in their goblets during breakfast," replied Snape.
"Good," said Lucius. "It's payback time."
-In the Great Hall at the Gryffindor table-
"What is taking him so long?" asked Ron. " Do you think he forgot about us?"
"Ron, Harry wouldn't forget us or breakfast. Something must be delaying him," replied Hermione.
Ron looked down at his plate of sausages and began to pick at them.
"Hi Ron."
Ron looked up hoping to see Harry, but instead he saw Emmett carrying a stack full of books.
"Oh hi . . .Emmett," said Ron.
"Can I sit here?" he asked.
"Actually I'm saving this seat for my friend Harry," began Ron and then Hermione poked him in the arm.
"Oh for goodness sake just let him sit there," said Hermione. "Harry can always sit next to me."
"Okay then. Sure Emmett you can sit there."
"Thanks."
Emmett was really happy and sat his books down and took a seat. He dished his plate of sausages, eggs, and bacon, and began shoving it all in his face.
"Who exactly is he?" asked Hermione.
"Emmett Brown," Ron said and then he lipped out Lavender.
She looked at him and she would have never guessed that he was Lavender's dad. She then looked at his stacked of books. One of them caught her eyes, it was Hogwarts: A History.
"You have a copy of Hogwarts: A History," said Hermione.
"Yeah, this is one of my favorite books," said Emmett.
"Mine too. I have read it like five times."
"That's nothing. I've read it twelve times. I keep that book with me all the time," said Emmett. He then whipped his face with his napkin and stuck out his right hand. "I'm Emmett Brown."
"Hermione Graves." She took his hand and shook it. "I've never met anyone whose likes to read as much as I do."
"Oh great, I'm surrounded by two nerds. Harry where are you," said Ron to himself.
Just then Harry walked in, followed in by Lucius, Crabbe and Goyle. He spotted Ron and Hermione over at the Gryffindor table and he went over to them.
"Hey you guys," said Harry.
"Hey Har--Oh my God what happened to you?" asked Ron.
"I forgot to hide my robes last night," said Harry.
"Well how come you haven't changed them back to black," asked Hermione.
"I've tried. Nothing has worked."
"Hey Parker. Nice robe," laughed James.
"Yeah, it brings out the color in your eyes," laughed Sirius.
"Don't pay any attention to them. Sit down and eat," said Hermione.
He took a seat next to her and suddenly everyone was staring at him.
"What's the problem?"
"The problem is that you're sitting at the wrong table. You should join your colorful house mates," said Remus.
"Well Ron and Hermione are my best friends and the last time I check she was a Ravenclaw. So, if guys don't mind I'm going to stay right here and enjoy my breakfast," said Harry.
Harry grabbed his plate and began dishing up his meal. He was eating his potatoes when he felt someone tapping his shoulder.
"Um excuse me. I know that you don't know me, but I know how you can change your robes back," said Emmett.
"How?"
"Well you need to . . ."
Emmett was about to tell him but Lucius came by and pushed him out of the way.
"Hey Parker what are you doing over here? Don't you want to eat with us?" he asked.
"Not today Lucius. I want to spend it with my friends."
"Okay then but let me give you some advice. I respect your friends but not the houses they are in. The plan is still going on, but if it fails because you told them. Well let's just say don't even bother being friends with me." He begins to walk away but then stops. "Oh and stay away from geeks like Brown. Geeks like him don't need any friends. They are meant to be alone. " And he left.
Harry looked back towards Emmett and he was leaving the table with his piles of books. A few minutes latter Snape came into the Great Hall. Harry saw him giving Lucius the signal that the mission was complete.
"Hermione, what ever you do don't drink the juice. Don't ask any question, you've just gotta trust me," whispered Harry.
He looked over at Ron and saw that his goblet was still on the table. He pretended to reach for the bacon and he 'accidentally' pretended to knock Ron's goblet over.
"Oh I'm so sorry," said Harry.
"That's okay, I'll get some more later," said Ron and then he licked his fingers.
Snape joined with Lucius came over to the Gryffindor table and stopped in front of the Marauders.
"Hey Potter, I hope you like to write," said Lucius.
" Yhw?" (Why?) said James, but he realized that he didn't say the same word that he wanted to say.
"'Cause you'll be needing to. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah," laughed Lucius.
" Tahw did uoy od ot mih? Yeh, tahw did uoy od ot em?"(What did you do to him? Hey, what did you do to me?) asked Sirius.
"You're bright enough to figure it out your self," said Snape. "Payback is a bitch."
"Well I guess we'll be seeing you all in class. Later," said Lucius and he and Snape laughed all the way back to the Slytherin table.
" Os Yrrah, tahw od ot meht?" (So Harry, what did they do to them?) Ron covered his mouth.
"Ron, did you drink your juice?" asked Harry.
Ron shook his head.
"Then how did you get it?"
"Get what?" asked Hermione.
"Snape made a backward potion for the Gryffindors. He mixed it into their drinks," said Harry.
" Ho tihs, Yrrah nehw ouy kconk ym telbog revo, eciuj tnew lla revo ym danh dan I dekcil ym reginf," (Oh shit, Harry when you knock my goblet over, juice went all over my hand and I licked my fingers) said Ron.
Harry and Hermione look at each other with a confuse face.
"How is he going to communicate with us?" asked Harry.
"If I remember correctly the library will have a book that should help us," said Hermione.
"What is it called?" asked Harry.
"It's called "The Book of Languages". I used it once on Viktor so that he could speak fluent English. So I'm thinking that we can use it on Ron," she said.
" Neht yhw era llits gnitis ereh? S'ereht a koob ni eht yrarbil htiw ym eman no ti. (Then why are we still sitting here? There's a book in the library with my name on it) said Ron.
Ron got up and they got the idea that he wanted to go. So they got up as well and before they left Professor McGonagall handed them their schedules.
"Ugh, Divination with Professor Trelawney," said Harry and Ron.
"Oh look Harry, we have Transfiguration together," said Hermione.
"Yeah and look here Ron, we have Double Potion with Professor Matson," said Harry.
When they were done looking at their schedules, they hurried off to the library. Inside the library was pack with Gryffindors. They were all looking for ways to get ride of the backward potion.
"The Book of Light, the Book of Legs, ah here it is, the Book of Languages," said Hermione.
She opened the book and began flipping through the pages until she got to the spell that she needed.
"Ingles," said Hermione. "There, that should last for about two hours."
"Thanks Hermione. I owe you big time," said Ron.
9:00 drew near and Harry and Ron headed off to the North Tower. On the way there they accidentally ran in to Lily.
"Oh I'm sorry. We are so sorry. My friend and I are new here and we don't want to be late to our first class," said Harry.
At first she didn't know how to respond since a Slytherin has never apologize to anyone, especially to a Gryffindor, and she as never met a guy this cute.
"Hu, hu s'erehw ruoy tsrif ssalc" (uh, uh where's your first class?) she asked.
"Uh, wait one moment." Harry grabbed his wand from his robe, "Ingles. Now can you repeat your self."
"I said, where's your first class." She was shock and amazed that she was able to talk normal. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We're heading to the North Tower for Divination," said Harry.
"You're in luck, I know a short cut," she said, "and by the way, I 'm Lily Evans."
"Harry Parker."
She looked down the hall and around the corner. Nobody was there. She went to the wall and said, "Dugbog."
The wall came to life and started to rearrange making a new corridor.
"At the end of the corridor you will end up underneath the class room."
"Thank you," said Harry and Ron as they hurried down the corridor.
When they got to the end of the corridor it began to disappear and soon there were no longer a corridor. They climbed the sliver rope and entered their first class.
"Welcome to Divination 6th years. I am Professor Trelawney for all those whom forgotten my name. This term we will be working with the tarot cards and later I will teach the symbolic meaning of your dreams. This is very exciting. Now I want you to pair up and read your partner past, present, and future. If you need some reference then look in your books on page 10 through page 15, or just raise your hand and I will come and help you."
She passed out a deck of cards to everyone and then she set them to work. Harry and Ron paired up and Harry began to read Ron's life. First Ron touched the deck, next Harry shuffled the cards; after that he took the first three cards from the top and putted them face down in one pile. He grabbed three more cards and putted them in a second pile right next to the first one. Grabbing three more for the last time, he placed them next to the second pile.
"The first pile represents your past, the second pile is your present and the third pile is your future," said Harry.
He picked up the first pile and began to flip them over.
"First card is the 5 of pentacles. According to the book is that you live in poverty and that you show is in materials and in spirit."
He looked at Ron and Ron's cheeks were red.
The next card was the King of pentacles. "You have lots of energy, ideas and you're very stubborn."
And the last card was the Hermit. "At one time in your life you needed to spent some time alone."
He set those cards aside and picked up the second pile.
"The Fool. You will have a life choice in your hands. The Hanged Man, um, something will be delayed. The King of cup, ooooooh, you'll find love."
"Who? Does it say who?" asked Ron.
"Sorry no," said Harry and he continued. "For your first card in the future is the 4 of wands, marriage. The 8 of pentacles, a satisfaction of work well done and you'll be rich!"
"YES!" cried Ron.
The last card in Ron's future was the Ace of Swords. The book told Harry that Ron will face an unexpected challenge and that was his opportunity to use his mind and power.
"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" asked Ron.
"We'll find out when the time comes," said Harry. " Now do me."
Ron took a hold of he deck of cards and did the same to Harry. Harry's first card was the Moon
"Dangerous discovery or unforgettable memories. The Chariot, you are on the right path. The Ace of wands, whoa Harry, this said that something was about to begin."
"Probably something that involved with Voldemort. Come now, tell me my present," said Harry.
"But Harry, doesn't that worries you?" asked Ron.
"No not really. It happened in the past. It has no meaning to me," said Harry.
"But we are in the past," said Ron.
"I know that we're in the past but- nah come now, tell me my present," said Harry.
Ron picked the second pile up and began.
Harry had the Fool and the Hanged Man like Ron but when Ron flipped the last card his face went white.
"Uh-it's the um-"
"Come on, spit it out," said Harry.
"It's the D-death card," said Ron.
"I-I'm going to d-die?" asked Harry.
Professor Trelawney was helping the group next to them when she heard that. She left the group and quickly went over to Harry.
"Ah the Death card. A very serious card indeed. I knew something was ill about you when you walked in here. I did. I was just hoping that I was wrong and here's the proof. Poor boy, and my predictions are never wrong." She saw that another group needed her help and she went over to help them.
"Okay Ron am I going to die?" asked Harry.
"Well we all know that Trelawney is never right, and the book says that the card either means that something is going to end or a new cycle begins," Ron read "If you were going to die than all of your future cards will be blank."
Ron grabbed the cards and slowly turned them over. He was relieved to see something.
"It's the 5 of wands, a mock battle and minor power struggle in various opponents are testing one another. The Knight of swords, dashes forward on a changer. You must battled powerful obstacles. And lastly your third and final card, it is 7 of swords; a sneak that is trying to get away with something or ripping you off. Boy you have a lousy future with all that fighting," said Ron.
"You can say that again. I think that my whole life is fighting Voldemort," said Harry.
"Don't say his name. You know that I hate it when his name is being said," said Ron.
"Sorry."
The class was soon over and they headed off for their next class. Ron has Herbology with the Hufflepuffs and Harry has Transfiguration with the Ravenclaws.
"Well bye Harry and say hi to Hermione for me," said Ron as he left Harry in front of the Transfiguration classroom.
Harry went into the classroom and seated himself next to Hermione. Everyone stared at them and began to talk quietly.
"Okay students, today we will be learning the most difficult spell ever. Its called Mindse. The way it works is you get an object, like these wooden blocks that are on your desk. You think of something that you want it to be and then cast the spell. Your wooden block will turn into the thing you were thinking of," said Professor McGonagall. " Now off you go."
"So Harry, how was Divination? Did Professor Trelawney tell you that you're going to die?" asked Hermione.
"We did tarot reading and I got the Death card, and you know Trelawney," replied Harry.
"Yep. So the Death card. How long do you have to live?" Hermione joked.
"Ha, ha very funny. Don't worry the cards says that I don't die. Mindse," said Harry and his block turned into an hourglass.
"Mindse," said Hermione and her block became a picture of the three of them.
"Well done Miss Graves and Mr. Parker. 10 points for Ravenclaw and Slytherin," said Professor McGonagall.
Once the class was done with the spell Professor McGonagall began her lecture on the powers of the mind.
