RED AND BLUE FOR GRYFFINDOR RED AND BLUE FOR MARIO

-----------------------------PROFFESSORS AND PLUGS-------------------------- ---------------

"Ah," the man said as Harry entered the bus "Harry Potter I presume," he said in the tone someone would use when speaking to the Prime Minister or president. "Well you're one up on me, I don't even know your name," Harry said grinning as he sat down by the man. "Oh, excuse my manners, I'm Donnie King, I'm the new Defense Against The Dark arts professor," Donnie King said as he held out his hand, with that motion Harry got a quick glimpse of a red tie with the man's initials on it, before shaking Donnie's hand. "So you're the new professor, I hope you won't be one of those to die," Harry said. "Oh, I'm not planning to kick the bucket just yet," Donnie King said smiling as he released Harry's hand. "The Granger residence," Ernie said.
"I guess I'll see you at Hogwarts eh Harry?"
"Yeah, I'll see you there professor King."
"Call me Donnie, Harry call me Donnie." "O.K Donnie, I'll see you at school," Harry said before getting of the bus. Ernie lifted down Harry's trunk. And set it on the walk in front of a large five story white house, the house looked to clean to be lived in Harry thought as he saw his reflection in the drain pipe. Harry saw the sign by the door, it said: The Granger family, the family that cures teeth as if it was magic Harry wondered how long that sign had been up. He rang the bell, watched as an orange cat with a rather flat face leapt at Harry knocking him over as the door opened. Hermion laughed, Harry tried to glare at her but burst out laughing himself, Hermione pulled the cat of Harry's chest. "Sorry Harry, Crookshanks has been rather over affectionate since I came home after last year." Hermione said as she helped Harry up, Crookshanks was purring as he rubbed against Harry's leg. Ron crossed Harry's line of vision; Ron was looking at an electrical socket, and the plug that was in it. "Hey Ron, Harry's here," Hermione said, Ron looked up from studying the plug; he walked up to Harry. "Hey mate, how'd the summer go for you?" "Well, other then running away from my aunt and uncle's place fine," Harry said. "Harry, you didn't," Hermione said with a look of shock, Harry smiled defiantly "you did."
"Really mate, bet the old codgers were purple with rage," Ron said laughing.
"Ron, that's not funny," Hermione said. -----------------------------------------------Three hours later------------ ----------------------------

Ron was sitting at the T.V watching Mr. Rogers. "The things muggles think of, how did they get so many people into this black box," Ron held up his hand "the Power Rangers, the Men in Black, even the guy named the Pillsbury Doughboy, and that Mario fella, too bad he disappears before we could finish the game." "Don't tell me you've never watched T.V," said a blonde boy, he was Hermione's brother Borigaurd (Hermione's parents have a fondness for long names). "O.K then, I won't tell you."
Hermione and Harry were talking about their O.W.L (Ordinary Wizarding Level) grades, "an O (Outstanding) in Defense Against the Dark arts, oh Harry that's wonderful, all I got was an E (Exceeds expectations)," Hermione said. "That's not bad, by the way what did you get in charms?" "An O, you?"
"Same, how about potions?"
"O again, what did you get?"
"I just barely got an O."
"What about Transfiguration?"
"O, as usual, I'm turning into you," Harry said jokingly.
"It's good for you to have those grades, it looks like we have the same classes."
"Yes."
"Do you have any guess who the next Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is?"
"Yeah, his name's Donnie King."
"The Animagus, the one who can turn into an ape?"
"I didn't know he was an Animagus, but I guess that's him."
"Ah, yes I thought he might be, sooooo, how'd he react to meeting you?"
"He was nice, why?"
"I'd heard he was a gruff man with a temper."
"Oh."
"Could you two help me here," Ron said from over by the T.V Borigaurd was rolling on the ground laughing "I don't know what I did, I just asked him the function of a rubber duck, you guys know dad's interested in that stuff." "Uh, Ron, most muggles know the function of a rubber duck, I think Borigaurd here thinks you're a bit dense mate," Harry said, before he and Hermione began laughing. Ron's face turned beet red as he blushed, Borigaurd regained some of his composer, he sat up, "the, uh function of a rubber duck is to destroy all life on this planet that is unpure," Borigaurd said trying to hide his laughter. "WHAT?" Ron screamed.
"He's joking Ron," Harry said as he stopped laughing, "the real function of a rubber duck is to squrt water when small children have baths, or play in swimming pools." "Oh, I'll have to tell dad."
----------------------------------Three days later----------------------- -----------------------------

Harry was sitting in the sleeping mat the Grangers had given him to sleep in, Ron had the bed in the guest room, Harry was stuck with the floor, Hermione had told him "first come first served." "But I just got your letter this morning," Harry explained. "Excuses, excuses," Hermione said, Harry remembered this well, because it started his days with a an aching back, even the cupboard under the stairs back at the Dursley's was easier to sleep in than this room, and Harry had claustrophobia. "Breakfast," called the voice of Hermione's father, he did all the cooking in Hermione's family, the smell of bacon and eggs wafted up into Harry's nostrils. "Five more minutes mum," Ron said in his sleep, Harry laughed a little at this. "Ron, there's a huge spider in your bed," Harry said, Ron jumped eight feet in the air, hitting his head on the light fixture. Ron was deadly afraid of spiders. Harry knew this, he was feeling rather hungry, and he didn't want all the breakfast to be eaten before Ron got there. "Harry, you have a dark mind," Ron said glowering at Harry, after he had landed of course. "Let's go for break fast," Harry, and Ron walked down to the dining room, plates of eggs and bacon lay in the center of the table. Ron and Harry each took four strips of bacon, and two eggs (they eat like I do, not much [in my opinion]) Hermione though scooped twelve eggs and twenty strips of bacon on to her plate, she sat down, ate swiftly, she probably gained fifty pounds in one meal. And worked it all of as she washed her plate almost to oblivion. Harry and Ron had finished eating, and were talking merrily about Quiditch the wizarding sport. "You know, the Wronskie feint is becoming exceedingly popular, it's easily deduced that it will be used by any self respecting Seeker in any world class game." "Oh, really?" Harry said. "Oh yes, by the way, have you head, Krum broke his wrist, a Bludger, he won't let anyone touch it, says that magic cures might throw of his game, so he's out of the league," Ron said with a look of triumph on his face. "Oh, that's too bad," Harry said, knowing full well how much Ron hated Krum.
"Yeah it is, isn't it?" Ron said choking out the words.
