PG

Disclaimer:I don't own Harry Potter, the only thing I own that is Harry Potter is the five books, and a new pencil case, lol.

Chapter Two: First Day Back

Harry got up refreshed the next moring. He hadn't dreamed about Sirius that night, but he was zooming away on a broom trying to catch a snitch. The it hit him.

Quidditch.

It, wasn't-canceled, was it?

It couldn't!

And even if it was, how would they arrange the teams?

Harry just shook his head, his long hiar tickling his face. He looked at his wristwatch.

6:01.

He sighed and got his Shower Bag. He got a towel, his tooth-brush, tooth-paste shampoo and soap. He wondered were to go, when he saw a small room with the words : BATHROOM labled on it.

There were five seperate shower stalls. Harry got in one, and began to wash.

---

Harry came out of the shower, feeling much more refreshed. His hair was clean and wet. It tickled his face. Draco Malfoy sneered at him, as he went to get a shower. He was wearing a green bath-robe.

Ron was in bed still, snoring loudly. So was Smith. Theo Nott was already awake, writing something in a pale blue book. Harry grinned and and snuck his wand out of his old robes. He whispered 'Sonorus.'.

Theo was watching him in intrest. He grinned widely. Harry nodded and shouted (so it sounded much more louder) ''GET UP EVERYBODY! NOOOWWW! FIRE!''

Ron snorted and sat up bolt-right.

''Wha? Were? Harry?Wha?'' he said, wildly.

Smith sent a pillow his way. Harry dodged and threw it back. It hit Smith on the head. He got out of bed and glared at Harry.

Ron also glared at Harry, but then grinned. Smith and Ron, got out their Shower Bags and went through the door labled BATHROOM.

Harry just stayed silent. Then he burst out laughing. Theo grinned and stuck out his hand.

''Theo Nott.'' he said.

''Harry Potter.'' Harry said shaking his hand.

Harry stared at his timetable.

DOUBLE POTIONS

DOUBLE CHARMS

TRANSFIGIRATION

Double Potions.

Double Potions?!

HOW?

Life was bad.

Ron sat down on his right. Hermione came into the Great Hall and sat on his left. She had bags under her eyes.

''Did you sleep well last night?'' asked Harry.

''No. One of the girls snores. Really loudly.''

Ron grinned.

''How did you sleep?'' she asked.

''Fine,'' Ron answered, ''Until the morning.''

Harry grinned. Ron told her about how Harry woke them up. Harry told them that he'd made friends with Theo Nott.

---

''Today, we'll be brewing the Polyjucie Potion. It is a fairly complex potion, and if it is properly brewed, will give you the apperance of another person. I wouldn't expect any of you to complete it to my satisfaction.''

Snape sneered at Harry.

''Especially...some...people.''

Snape flicked his wand, and the chalk started to write the ingredients.

''We will only be brewing part of the Potion today, as certain ingrediants need to be picked at certain times.''

---

Potions wasn't that bad really. Harry had got the basics right, with Hermiones help.

Charms was fun. They were learing how to make tea pour it self. Neville caused a few laughs, by pouring tea all over Professor Flitwicks head.(''Sorry Professsor! It was an accident!'')

Transfigartion was a hard. They were turing chairs into sofas. Hermione managed to do. Harry always ended up with a chair with a cusion.

''Potter! I asked for a sofa, not a cusion!''

On Tuesday, they had Defence Against The Dark Arts, with Professor McClaggan. The class came early, to get good seats.

''Come in! Come in!'' he boomed. His yellow eyes were flashing excitedly.

''Well. Fifth years! Wonderful!'' he yelled.

He called the register. He didn't look up when he said Harry's name.

''Well class. I've went over the records of your other teachers. Well, I'm fairly dissapointed. Professor Quirell, a man with two faces. Lockheart, a lying show-off. Remus Lupin, great teacher, and a good friend of mine. Moody, Death Eater, but it wasn't even him. My best mate he is. And Umbridge, well I'm not going to say anything...I hope this year, I'm a satisfactory teacher for you all. I certainly hope so. I remember whe I was a fifth-year...great time...but now, we've got to learn, the war is upon us. This year we'll be covering Dark Creatures, curses and a History of Evil. Such as Grindewald...But...as it's your first lesson today, I though we'd do something fun.''

He smiled and got out his wand.

''Ballonas Jioupi!'' he yelled. About twenty-five balloons come popping out of his wand. They were all red.

''Now... you all have one balloon each. When I call your name, you'll all come forward. You'll each try a spell on the balloon, and see if it pops, gets destroyed ecetera.''

He called through a list of names. Hermione performed a tricky little spell, which caused it to expand and pop loudly, covering the in confetti.

''Very good Miss.Granger.'' smiled McClaggan.

He called out a few more names and then...

''Mr.Potter.''

''How many spells can I use sir?''

''As many as it take to destroy it.'' said McClaggan, smiling.

Harry could feel everyone in the room staring at him. He looked up at the balloon. He made a decision.Pointing his wand at it, he waved his hand, and yelled,

''Iligo!'' he yelled. A thin layer of ice covered the balloon.

''Infendio'' he said. A roaring flame shot out of his wand, hitting the balloon with full force. And before the ballon could shrivel up, he yelled,

''Mellowe!'' A thin crack found it's way around the balloon. It boomed loudly.

''Well done Mr.Potter!'' said McClaggan his yellow eyes shining.
