Chapter 1: THERE IS NO MERCY IN DODGE BALL

"Hey Harry, Ron, Hermione!" Dean came running towards the trio as they enjoyed lunch. They looked up at Dean who was accompanied by Seamus.

"What is it guys?" Harry asked looking up from his plate.

"Well you guys know we're in muggle studies..." Dean started.

"Well we're studying schoolyard games and we got assigned dodge ball" Seamus said.

"Uh huh I remember that game!" Hermione said happily.

"Get to the point" Harry said impatiently... he did not like where this was going at all.

"We need to form a team to beat the Slytherins" Seamus said

"...And we were wondering if you could help us out" Dean said

"Of course we will!" Hermione said ecstatically.

"Great!" They left running.

"We will!?" Harry and Ron said incredulously.

"Yes we will!" Hermione said hotly "honestly! We can help them get a good mark in that class!"

"But Hermione what's Dog ball?" Ron asked.

"Dodge ball Ron... anyways it's this game where you-

As Hermione explained the rules to Ron (Who rather enjoyed the idea of pummeling Slytherins with balls), Harry groaned in protest.

"What's wrong Harry?" Ron looked a bit concerned "is it your scar?"

"No it's not my scar" he said annoyingly "I hate dodge ball!"

"Why?! It's loads of fun!" Hermione said.

"You played dodge ball Hermione?" Ron asked incredulously.

"Yes... back at elementary school I was one of the best" She smiled.

"Hello!!!" Harry waved his arms about.

"Oh yes... sorry"

"I CAN'T play dodge ball... I was always picked last, they always aimed at me, I was always pummeled by balls, they hated me, they always blamed me for everything!"

Hermione opened her mouth to interject but she was cut off

"AND I always took pity on my team mates and lunged to protect them!" Harry said in frustration "and I'm not supposed to do that!!!"

"Well you DO have a tendency to save people..." Hermione chuckled.

Harry shot dagger stares at her.

"Relax mate it's just a game..." Ron said rather taken aback.

"JUST A GAME!?! JUAST A GAME!?! IT'S A BRUTAL GAME!!!!! THERE IS NO MERCY IN DOGE BALL!!!" He stood up

"Harry calm down!" Hermione scolded.

"IT'S NOT MY BLOODY FAULT!!!"

"Harry! WATCH YOUR LANGUGE!" Hermione scolded him once more.

"Er... right... sorry" he sat down blushing, for the entire Great Hall was staring at him in curiosity.

A/N- Yay I finally got around to writing this! I don't know if it's worth it though... tell me if I should even bother with this plot bunny...
