Disclaimer- J.K Rowling is the smartest woman alive. She would probably be appalled if she read this melodramatic crap. I hope that this doesn't put ideas in any of your heads about what might happen in future HP books because I KNOW NOTHING!!! I don't own any of the characters either... This whole thing is therapy (because I was upset over the character she killed off) I'm just posting it because people told me to…
"What is the matter" Dumbledore asked suddenly appearing like out of no where on the scene. Rosanna began sobbing again. "He..... killed.... Malinda Marsh! He killed my best friend in the whole world!"
"Professor", Mark said looking straight at Dumbledore. "I swear I didn't"
Dumbledore looked deep in thought. He looked at Mark who was very upset. Then, he looked over at Rosanna who was smirking.
"Mr. Evans, I would like a word alone. Minerva, will you please escort Roseanna to the corridor she's supposed to watch." Dumbledore said quietly.
Harry watched Professor MacGonagall grab Roseanna by the arm and gently escort her from the hall. When they were finally alone, he looked at Mark. "Well" Dumbledore said quietly.
"I got lost, Professor. It's my first day here and the stairways keep changing. I heard a scream and suddenly followed it to see what was going on... I thought I could possibly help. Then I saw a girl... dead on the floor. Roseanna caught me at the scene and now I'm going to get expelled at the very least for this. I'm going to have to live like a muggle... I will have to go back to Surrey, get beat up by Dudley Dursley and his friends for the rest of my life." He looked at the floor and was trembling at the thought.
"This" Dumbledore said with a half smile, "Reminds me of another boy who was blamed for deaths of other students. He ended up saving the school from closing and from a lot of people getting hurt and dying. If I am not mistaken, you are very much like this boy... more than you realize."
Harry listened even more attentively. He knew exactly who Dumbledore was talking about. Mark just looked back at Dumbledore. His spirits seemed to rise and he looked less scared of his fate.
"Am I off the hook" he asked hopefully.
"You won't be expelled today Mark. I daresay there will be things that you will need to do this year." Dumbledore said with a smile.
Mark breathed a huge sigh of relief and shook Dumbledore's hand.
Harry saw Professor MacGonagall coming and ran back to his seat.
"I'm sorry I had to leave and take care of business. We will continue tomorrow" she said out of breath.
Everyone got up to leave the room. Harry became deep in thought. How close exactly were he and Mark? He was so glad that everyone was busy asking Hannah about what she heard about Rosanna because it gave Harry a chance to think about how he's going to start up a conversation with Mark. Harry had to find him, he HAD to know if they were somehow related.
All of a sudden, Harry heard a voice and saw a figure running toward him.
"Watch out Harry!!!" screamed Mark as he ran toward him with a book. Mark was very fast and flung his book out hitting something behind his head. Harry turned around and saw Draco who was continuously throwing large stink pellots at his head. Harry grabbed a heavy book from his bag and helped Mark fend off the stink pellets that were coming his way. Mark hit one incredibly hard that it hit Malfoy directly in the face. It spattered all over him and Malfoy ran away screaming. Everyone cheered Mark.
"Wow" said Neville. "That stink pellet was about an inch or so from your head Harry. If it hit you in the right spot, it could have knocked you out!"
"And he was running from across the hall." Hermione added. "And he had the strength to pelt it back toward Malfoy"
Harry then had an idea "See you guys later" he said to Ron, Hermione, Neville and the others. "Mark, please come with me. I have to check it out first, but if we're allowed, I have a proposition for you?
Mark followed Harry back to Professor MacGonagall's room. "Back so soon Mr Evans" she said questioningly.
"Professor" Harry said smiling. "I think we found a new beater"
Mark looked at Harry with his mouth opened wide. "But I'm only a first year." he said sadly. "We're not allowed brooms"
"Mark, I was a first year when I became seeker" Harry told him. "How good is he" Professor MacGonagall asked Harry grinned. "Well, Malfoy flung a stink pellot at me. It almost hit my head. Mark here ran from across the room and hit it away from me just inches before it was going to hit me. Malfoy continued to throw them at us and although I blocked a few, he got most of them. The last one, he was able to knock right back at Malfoy even though it was coming at a high speed."
MacGonagall looked thoughtful. "Hmmm....."
"That's pretty good Mr. Evans" MacGonagall said finally. "Very well" she said taking out a piece of parchment and signing it. "I give you my permission to try out on Friday. Though he sounds better than the current ones we have now, we still have to see if he can fly."
"But I don't even have a broomstick." Mark said "We'll take care of it" MacGonagall said with a smile. "Now, you two better get going to class, you wouldn't want to be late."
Harry's heart sunk. This was his chance to ask Mark what he was dying to ask since he was sorted. "I guess I'll see you on Friday?"
"Talk to you Friday Harry" Mark replied
"Thanks for stopping that stink pellet Mark" Harry added.
They both went their separate ways to their separate classes. Harry anxious for Friday to come.
