SKK, I will try to work on detail and spelling. I think this is going to go 1 through 7 (I'm thinking of leaving out year two because there isn't much you can do with 12 year olds). This story is continued under what if (not sure about Reviewers choice).
Trinity day: I'm try to use and not and, but it is a bad habit that just comes naturally. Tell me if I don't improve in using it less.

$$$ Chapter ten: Potions class
$$$
Seamus woke the next morning to find Romulus already awake and he looked at the picture of the sleeping people in the mirror.
He woke them up and went to take a shower. They only looked around when they heard voices.
"Throw a shoe at it!" Neville said and Harry took off his shoe and threw it at the book that was still on the ceiling.
"Stupid book! How did it get up there in the first place?" Harry said when the book still didn't move.
"Seamus got bored and stuck it there!" Romulus said as he tried to stand on his bed but it was too far away and the top was in the way.
"I will get it from my bed!" Harry said as he climbed on the top of his bed.
'Where were you last night anyway?" Neville asked curiously.
"I was doing my homework, the transfiguration essay in the library." He said as he tried to pull the book from the ceiling but it didn't want to move.
"You worried us! Seamus was up jumping on my bed till about 12:30 in the morning." Romulus said.
"Sorry, pass me a ruler of something!" Harry said.
Romulus handed him his ruler and Alexander woke up.
"Ooh, what did you and Lilac get up to last night?" He chuckled.
"What makes you think we were together?" Harry asked him as he loosened the book.
"You both went missing last night, what other proof do you need?" Seamus grinned, his wet black hair falling in his face and a towel round himself.
"I was not with Harry last night Alex! I was in the astronomy tower, looking at the moon and stars." Lilac said from behind and surprised Alex, Neville, Seamus and Romulus but Harry had seen her there since he was looking at the door's direction.
Sirius, James and Remus knew they should leave it and the picture disappeared, though no one noticed.
"I saw Lilac when I was doing my essay and she was going to the fat lady's portrait." Harry said as he gave the corner of the book that was stuck a hard tug and fell over the top of his bed, landing with a loud THUD on the hard floor!
He moaned and got up slowly. "Come on, let's neaten you up!" Lilac said as she helped him stand up straight.
She straightened his tie and fixed his collar for him, She went to his bed, took her shoes out from underneath it and left the room.
"I'm ready for breakfast!" Romulus said as he finished doing his own tie and then putting his other set of robes over the uniform.
$$$
After breakfast, they had their first flying lesson, lunch, double potions, and then the evening free.
They all arrived at the flying lesson out on the grounds and there were about 40 brooms set out. (Big year or what?)
"Hello Potter, I don't believe we have met yet, but I guess this means that the boy who lived is at Hogwarts, I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy. Come with me, don't hang with riff raff like this!" A blonde boy said and held out his hand to Harry after giving a dirty look to Seamus.
"I don't like you calling my friends riff raff, Malfoy. And I can decide for myself who I want as friends, definitely not you!" Harry said and he and Seamus walked to 4 open brooms where Romulus went next Seamus and Lilac next to Harry.
"Put your one hand above your broom and say clearly: 'UP!'" Madam Hooch said and they all followed her instructions, only Seamus and Harry's broom went up the first time they said it and Lilac's on 3rd try while Romulus went up after about 5 tries.
When they finally mounted the brooms, Madam Hooch said they must go up on 3, Darlene was a little over enthusiastic because she went up on 2 and couldn't stop rising.
She eventually fell and a sickening crack was heard from her wrist.
"If I catch anyone in the air when I come back, they will be expelled faster than you can say Qudditch." Madam Hooch warned and took Darlene inside again.
Before anyone could do anything, Malfoy ran over to where Darlene had fell and picked up her Crystal star necklace.
"Ooh, look what clumsy face dropped. Where should I leave it for her?" He said and soared up into the sky where he threw up the locket and caught it again.
Harry jumped on his broom and soared up before anyone could stop him and so did Seamus.
"Give it here Malfoy, before I knock you off your broom!" Harry called as Seamus did loops on his that attracted gasps from the girls.
"Take this first!" He said as he threw 4 speedy black balls that looked like mini bludgers at Seamus who hit them away.
They zoomed to Malfoy who dodged them and they went back to Seamus who some how was whacking them with a small tree branch.
Malfoy threw the locket up and yelled "Catch Potter!" Harry dived for it and caught it right before it hit the ground.
Mcgonagall came rushing into the grounds as he caught it and Seamus was battering the balls with the now ½ a ruler.
"Come down here this instant!" She called to Harry and Seamus and Malfoy who was already on the ground sniggered.
She dragged them off and up the stairs where she opened the door to Professor Novato's DADA class and took out a boy called Oliver Wood.
She took them to an empty class and said to him: "I think we have a new beater and seeker for you wood."
His eyes lit up and you know the whole story so I won't go over explaining Qudditch and all that stuff but the Weasleys weren't on the team.
They arrived at the potions lesson 10 minutes early to plan their prank and set it out and slowly the class arrived.
When the professor walked in, Seamus had to hold back his laughter and astonishment at how accurate his father's description of him was.
He had shoulder length greasy, slimy black hair, pale skin, and a huge nose.
"Settle down, settle down!" He said unnecessarily as the class was already quiet, Seamus guessed that if anyone spoke, including himself, they might burst out laughing.
Once at his desk, he took register first and started calling out names.
"Andorra" He called and the Latin girl raised her hand and said: "Here!"
He paused at the next name and then called out "Black".
"Here" Seamus said innocently.
He seemed to have a sly grin on his face when he said: "Lupin" and a look of the deepest loathing was given to Harry when he said Potter.
He seemed to smile when he called out the name: "Snape." So it must have been his son that was sitting in front of them. He had the same greasy hair, a large hooknose that was already the same size as his fathers, and was very white skinned.
When he finished the list, he started speaking:
"I am professor Snape, potions master of Hogwarts. I am not here to baby you, I'm here to teach you potions..."
"No hey!" Seamus whispered so Snape couldn't hear.
Snape carried on babbling about potions while Seamus took out his ruler. (YES! THEY DO HAVE RULERS IN THE WIZARDING WORLD)
He pulled it back and then let the one end go so it silently whacked the boy on the back hard with it.
He yelped loudly, which caused Snape and the rest of the class to look at him. By the time their heads had turned, Seamus was sitting on top of his ruler and looking at him curiously.
"What is wrong?" Snape asked the boy.
"Something hit my back father!" The boy whined.
"You are a student here and will address me by the name professor Snape, do you understand that?" Snape said firmly.
"Yes sir!" He hung his head in shame as Snape turned around and carried on teaching.
After he finished babbling, he wrote instructions on the black board and everyone started making their shrinking potions in pairs, Harry and Lilac, Romulus and Seamus.
"Pass the dragon liver please Lilac." Harry whispered when it was right next to him on the left and she was on the right of him.
"Get it yourself Harry!" She whispered back.
"Please!" He said and she sighed and stretched over him to get it but he moved it over, so she leaned further over.
Eventually, she was stretching to get it and tried to snatch it from his hand but fell on top of him.
He was holding back his giggles as she got up and he handed it to her.
She passed it back to him and he looked confused.
"You wanted it!" She hissed, finding it harder to hold back the laughter.
"No I didn't, we don't need dragon livers!" he grinned and she sighed and they went back to making the potion.
Later in the lesson, he poked her in the side and she looked up.
"What?"
"Nothing!" He replied and she slapped his arm playfully.
"Miss Kales, I would appreciate if you and Mister Potter would save your flirtatious behaviour for somewhere else, such as out of my classroom!" Snape snapped at them and the class sniggered.
As the lesson ended, professor Snape set them homework and told them to put a vial of their potion with their name on, on the shelf nearby.
Seamus filled up his vial and 'accidentally' spilled it on Snape's (Jnr) robes and clothes, which shrank immediately and he pulled them off without realizing what he was doing, after a few minutes, they stopped shrinking but were the size of dolls clothes and Snape was standing there in his underwear.
"Everyone except Mr Snape! Potter! Kales! Detention tonight with me!" He called and they sighed as they put their vials (Seamus's refilled) on the shelf, packed up, as everyone left and Snape's back was turned, Harry threw a shrivel fig that hit him on the back of the head.
He turned around but Harry was already gone and Lilac and Seamus who had watched were roaring with laughter. Wile Romulus didn't seem too happy that he had done that to a teacher.
Every Gryffindor boy went down to the common room after putting his books up in the dorm except for Romulus Harry and Seamus who stayed in the dormitory while Lilac was going to join them after putting her books down and Romulus heard a voice from the mirror.
He picked it up and saw Sirius and Remus who had just got home from work while James was upstairs with Lily.
"Hello! How was your day?" Remus asked and Seamus grabbed the mirror away from him and spoke while jumping on his bed.
"Me and Harry are both the youngest people to be on the Qudditch team in 100 years!" He said excitedly and Seamus and Remus were both overjoyed as Remus went to tell James and Lily.
"We also went to potions and Harry and Lilac got detention from grease pot!" he said and Sirius and Remus (who had returned) were roaring with laughter.
"What for?' he asked him.
Seamus did a perfect imitation of Snape's voice: "Miss Kales, I would appreciate if you and Mister Potter would save your flirtatious behaviour for somewhere else, such as out of my classroom!" and this sent them into more laughter, even Romulus was laughing while Harry looked offended.
"We weren't even flirting, anyway, we got detention for some reason because you poured shrinking potion on Snape jnr's robes."
"You got him back by throwing the shrivel fig at his head didn't you?" Seamus asked and Sirius and Remus were battling to breath they were laughing so much.
"No, I think I have a way me and Lilac can tonight." He grinned.
"Where are you going Harry?" Romulus asked when he saw Harry stand up.
"Common room, then dinner, detention, why do you ask?" He said suspiciously.
"No reason!" Romulus called after him.
He walked down the stairs thinking about how long he could keep what he was really doing a secret.
Pavarti and Lavender who were sitting at a table, giggled as he sat down the couch near to the fire.
They moved near to him on the floor and pulled him down with them.
"You want to play matchmaker?" Lavender asked. (A game I extracted from 'I am living' where one person gives a topic, another from the topic and the people give a match for the person.)
"Sure!" He said and Pavarti decided on the topic.
"First year Gryffindor boys." She said and Harry gave the name:
"Neville Longbottom!"
"Fern Pettigrew." Lavender answered.
"Patrick Finnigan!" Lavender gave the next name.
"Lavender Brown!" Pavarti grinned and Lavender blushed.
"GO LAV!" Harry shouted startling some people and Lavender threw a cushion at him.
"I have a good way to get him back and he has to answer this...Harry Potter!" Pavarti grinned and Harry looked like he had been slapped.
Luckily, Lilac was ready to go and, much to Pavarti and Lavenders disappointment, dragged him away and out the portrait hole.
"What was that about?" She asked curiously as he took her arm in his and they made their way upstairs.
"She wanted to know who I had a crush on, how long do you think we can keep this a secret?" He asked as they walked along the corridor.
"As long as possible because they will hate me for dating the cutest boy in the year before they even met him!" She said and they went into one of the empty classes.
"No, the guys will never speak to me for stealing the most beautiful girl in the country from right under their noses." He said and then pushed her up against the wall and latched himself to her neck.
"I thought we had a deal!" She pushed him off.
"Which one?" He asked as he let her go, picked her up like a princess and spun her round.
"You don't do that because it leaves bruises, and I make up for it with this!" She said as she pulled him into a kiss.
"Sorry!" He replied when they pulled away.
"It's okay, its not that I don't want to tell..." She replied.
"Its just way to embarrassing, we are going to get whistled at where ever we go, some people might even try to split us up and even if that happens when we do tell, at least we will have a stronger bond and be able to trust each other more." Harry said for her.
"Yeah, I was thinking the 4th year ball would be soon enough, we don't say anything, just turn up together." She smiled.
"That, or sooner." He said smiling back as they left the class to go to the grounds.
"Where are we going?" She asked as he pulled her along.
"I want you to meet a friend of mine." He said as they went to Hagrid's hut and Harry knocked on the door.
"Whose there?" A deep voice answered and a dog barking could be heard.
"Harry!" He called back and the door opened and a man twice the normal person was standing there.
"'Ello 'Arry whose yeh lady friend?" he smiled.
"Hagrid, this is my friend, Lilac. Lilac, this is my friend Hagrid." Harry said as Hagrid ushered them inside.
"'Ello Lilac!" He smiled.
"Hello Hagrid!" She said as she sat down.
"I was wonderin' when yeh would introduce ma Arry, I ave seen yeh too walkin' round the grounds." He said as he boiled the kettle.
"You- you have?" Harry stuttered, hoping he didn't know their secret.
"Yah, there is no need to lie to ma, I know ya are more than friends!" He smiled sheepishly as he put a mug of tea in front each of them.
"What do you mean?" Lilac asked, pretending to be confused.
"Oh, come on you two, I saw you last week, you were kissin' behind one of the trees." He said and Harry blushed before taking Lilac's hand in his.
"Please don't say anything!" He begged Hagrid.
"Don't worry, I won' tell, I just don't why ya won't say anything to anyone, not even Seamus an' Romulus who ya have known all ya life!" He sighed
"We will tell them eventually, I am worried they wont understand or get jealous, one of the disadvantages of going out with the most beautiful girl in our year." Harry kissed Lilac's hand and she giggled and blushed.
Hagrid sighed "A charmer already, you're dad was' 'bout 13 when' he discovered his wild streak, but lost a lot of it when he met ya mum." He grinned.
"He won't have to lose it for me, I like a wild boy, anyway, he isn't wild around me, he is a gentleman." She grinned.
"Sorry we can't stay long, we have to quickly eat dinner, then go to detention that Seamus earned us with Snape." Harry sighed and stood up and then pulled Lilac up.
"I won' even ask, I will see ya soon!" He said as he led hem out the door and as they approached the castle, they were unaware that they could be seen and they let go of their hands, but not before someone saw.
