Chapter 11 First Days Always Suck
Harry found himself in the Room of Requirements at 6 in the morning. Right now it was an exercise room. It had a treadmill, mat, and a punching bag. At 7:30 he went back to his dorm, took a shower and went downstairs to wait for Hermione. Finally she came walking down the stairs.
"I think the plan will be over soon. He almost beat my ass last night actually." Harry told her. Hermione had a smile on her face. "Oh yeah be all happy, not like you're the one getting the crap beat out of you!"
Hermione was about to reply but Ron came down the stairs. "Hey guys" he said. He had a forced smile on his face and didn't look to happy.
"So who are the new teachers?" Harry asked. "I wasn't paying attention last night"
"Well the Dueling and DADA teacher are arriving today so we don't know who they are yet. The healing teacher is Madam Dupont. A healer from St. Mungo's" Ron explained. Harry nodded his head.
Hermione grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him out of the common room. Harry glanced at Ron's face and saw the envy on it. 'Damn it Ron! Just admit your feelings so I don't have to pretend to like Hermione anymore!' Harry thought.
As they sat down for breakfast Dumbledore stood up. "I would like to introduce you all to the DADA teacher. Someone who all you 4th years and above should remember. Professor Lupin" Loud applause and cheers erupted from all tables, even a few at the Slytherin table. "And are new Dueling teacher Professor Tonks" Tonks in her normal form stood up. Harry wolf-whistled loudly and Tonks stuck her tongue at him. Harry just grinned in return and noticed all the stares she was getting from the male population.
Soon Professor McGonagall came around passing out schedules. Harry glanced at his

Potions 11:15-1:00 Regular Period
Charms 2:15-4:00 Regular Period
Transfiguration 4:15-6:00 Regular Period
Harry looked over at Hermione's schedule. The max courses someone could take was 10 and that was how many Hermione was taking. Where he had free periods she had either Astronomy, Ancient Runes or Arithmancy. Ron's schedule was basically the same as his except when Harry had Potions Ron had Herbology.
"Oh no!" Harry shouted as he jumped from his seat. "Snape first period. Please Dumbledore say it isn't so!" Harry pretended to sob. "Oh Ron who knows what he is going to do to me with all the freaky things he keeps in his room!"
"It's okay Harry" Ron said. "Um...can I get your Firebolt if you don't get back?"
"Thanks for the sympathy Ron" Harry mock glared at him. "No when I die I leave every thing to Dracie-Poo!" Harry shouted as he waved to Malfoy. "Oh Dracie-Poo I love you!" Harry shrieked in a girly voice. Malfoy was beet red with embarrassment and anger. Many in the hall were laughing. McGonagall had a smile on her face and Dumbledore was chuckling.
Snape was walking by the table. He stopped turned to Harry and sneered at him. "Sit down Potter." Harry put the back of his hand to his forehead and pretended to faint into his seat. "I'll see you soon Potter" with that Snape left, his cloak billowing behind him.
"How the hell does he do that every time he stalks out? Does he like have something living in his cloak that makes it billow out or a charm or something?" Harry asked Ron loudly.
"Actually I think when he walks away his cloak is trying to run away from him!" Ron said. Many in the hall laughed.
After they all finished their meals Harry and Hermione said good bye to Ron and went to Potions. Harry sat down all the way in the back with Hermione. Soon Snape came walking into the room.
"I don't know how some of yo managed to get into this class" here he glared at Harry. "However if you are not working up to par I will kick you out of class. The instructions are on the board. Get to work."
Harry looked at the board and went to the storage room to get the ingredients. He came back and took out his gold scale and bronze cauldron. He made sure he measured everything properly, added everything when needed to be added, with the exact amount that needed to be added, and stirred when needed to be stirred for exactly how long it said. He noticed Hermione was already done and so was Malfoy. Both their Potions were a dark blue.
Harry's still a light blue when Snape came walking by. "What is this Potter. It is suppose to be dark blue not light! It is worthless!" He went to get rid of the potion but Harry drew his wand and did a protection charm on the potion before he could. Snape was glaring at him.
"I didn't add in the three drops of dragon blood yet sir" Harry told him. He added in the three drops and it turned the dark blue required.
"Five points off Potter. Don't go against a teacher like that!" Snape spat. "I want 5 vials on my desk in three minutes. For homework tell me what potion you just made and what it is used for!"
Harry ladled the potion into 5 vials. He cast a Unbreakable Charm on all the vials before he handed them in. "Oops" Snape said as he dropped Harry's vials. However they just bounced on the ground. Harry picked them up and gave them to Snape.
"I figured since the vials were wet it would be hard to get a good grip sir" Harry said cooly as he glared at Snape.
The bell rang and Harry walked out of class. He went to lunch where he and Ron exchanged stories of how class went. Hermione told them she would meet them in Dueling. She said she was going to the Library real quick. Harry turned to Ron.
"Look Ron I'm already getting tired of this plan and we only started it yesterday!" Harry said in an exasperate tone.
"What plan?" Ron asked.
"Okay Hermione likes you but you won't ask her out so she is making me to pretend to be her boyfriend to make you jealous." Harry explained. "So just tell her she shouldn't go out with me because you like her and she should go out with you. Okay?"
Ron nodded his head. "So it was all just a plan?" Ron questioned.
"Yup and all because your so thick" Harry grinned. They got up and went up to their dorms to get their stuff for the next classes. Harry wrapped his wand holster around his right forearm. With a flick of his wrist he pulled it out. Ron gaped at him.
"Wow mate. I wish I got a wand holster!" Ron exclaimed.
"Don't worry. I'm going to buy one for everyone in the D.A." Harry told him. He strapped the other one on his ankle.
"Two wands?" Ron questioned. "I thought that could only happen if your wand snapped and you have proof it did!"
"Yeah well I need it for when I duel Snakeface" Harry explained. Harry wouldn't be able to use it unless he was dueling Death Eaters or Snakeface. Actually Harry planned on using it soon.
They went to the Great Hall which was now covered in cushions with a dueling stage in the middle. All Gryffindor and Slytherin 6th and 7th years were gathering around. Gryffindor on one side and Slytherin on the other. Harry shook his head at the House rivalry. He saw a pretty looking Slytherin from his year talking to an older girl. They were both a little away from the main group of Slytherins like several others were.
Tonks walked in, her usual form up. Harry wolf whistled again. Tonks gave him the finger, which only the muggle borns knew. Basically only some Gryffindors knew. "My word" Hermione could be heard saying. Harry gave her the finger in return while grinning. Tonks smiled at him. "Now, Dumbledore told me I should tell you I'm a metamorphmagus. It means I can change my appearance at will as long as it is the same sex as me. Meaning I can't change into a man." she explained.
She scrunched up her face and changed her appearance into that of an old lady. Then she changed back. "Okay now let's have a practice duel to begin with. How about Harry and..."
"I wanna verse Ferret Boy" Harry said to her. Tonks looked worried.
"As long as you don't kill each other. Malfoy your up" The others all laughed at Tonks knowing Malfoy as Ferret Boy and not correcting it. Malfoy glared at Harry with loathing.
Harry cracked his knuckles. He blew on his finger tips and wiped them against his robe. Then he looked at them carelessly. Malfoy pointed his wand at him and shouted "Expelliarmus" Harry stepped to the side as the jet of light flew by. "Bussato Fuori"(knocked out) Draco shouted. A dark red light was heading for Harry.
Harry pulled out his wand and said, real calm "Blocco" the spell was reflected and hit the ceiling. Harry pointed his wand at Draco "Volare Indietro"(fly backwards)
Draco yelled "Protego" and a shield rose in front of him. However the bright blue jet of light was pushing the shield inwards. Soon the shield now surrounded the jet of light. Draco shouted "Blokk Staver"(block spell), a spell the could rebound most not dark curses, hexes, jinxes or other spells. However since the "Protego' shield was surrounding Harry's spell it was deflected towards the audience, where Pansy Parkinson had to duck. Harry spell and the "Protego" shield hit Malfoy and sent him flying backwards. Harry said "Accio Wand" and Draco's wand flew into his hand.
Many cheered and Tonks was clapping loudly. "See there class. Harry used several advanced spells. He used one of the advanced Block Shield Spells, which he used to block Malfoy's Advanced Stunner. Harry used a more powerful form of Expelliarmus to end the match up. Now the one he used is the most powerful Disarming spell there is. You noticed how the "Protego" shield, the weakest Block Shield Spell, surrounded Harry's spell?" When the class nodded she continued. "The spell was so powerful, the magic of the spell, pulled the "Protego" shield charm around it. Causing Draco's Block Spell to rebound off of the shield" Tonks explained. "Harry I'm impressed the usually doesn't happen with the shield surrounding the Spell. Only for the more powerful witches and wizards"
Harry smiled at her as a pink tinge worked its way on his cheeks. While Tonks explained to them about Disarming Spells and how to use them Harry worked his way over to those two girls he spotted earlier.
"Hello" he said politely.
"Yeah how can we help you?" the one in his year asked.
"I was just wondering what your names were. That's all" Harry told them.
"Well I'm Cassandra McIntyre and this is Blaise Zabini" the older one said as she pointed to herself and the one in his year respectfully.
Harry smiled at them. "I was wondering if you would like to join a club" Harry started.
"What club and why would we want to join it?" Blaise asked suspiciously.
"Well it's a defense club. Kind of like this except more advanced. I started it last year because Umbridge sucked at teaching. We learn a lot of stuff that will come in useful during the war." They nodded somewhat reluctantly. "I'll tell you when the first meeting is. If you don't like it you can leave. I'm just asking that you go to one meeting"
Harry walked back over towards Ron and Hermione.
"What were you doing talking to those Slytherins?" Ron asked.
"I got the first Slytherin members of D.A." Harry said proudly.
"You got Slytherins!" Ron shouted. Everyone looked at him. The two Harry was just talking to looked nervous.
"Listen Ron. How would you feel if you got put in Slytherin. All of a sudden people in the wizarding world don't like you because of you are Ambitious. You get treated differently and your only friends are mostly your own house. I mean sure some Slytherins are just evil like Malfoy, the slimy git, but most turn out that way because of the way they are treated by their fellow students. Remember even Gryffindors go bad." Harry told him. Gryffindors were looking shocked at him except Hermione who was looking proud.
Several Slytherins, mostly the ones away from the main group were smiling at him and the rest of the Slytherins were glaring at him.
"Besides Ron" Harry told him in a whisper. "Look at some of the Slytherins. They are staying away from the main group, like Malfoy and his goons" Ron looked and nodded his head slowly. Harry was sure Ron would come around and notice that it isn't the house that makes the person. It might take awhile but it would work.
The bell rang and they hurried to the DADA classroom. "Alright spit it out Moony. How come you never told us?" Harry asked
"Actually Dumbledoer came to me a week ago begging me to take the post because no one else wanted it." Remus explained.
"Who will teach it on the days you are sick though?" Hermione questioned.
"Either Tonks or if she has class, Dumbledore himself" Remus said.
The Trio nodded and took their seats. They had class with Ravenclaws. Harry was glad there was no Malfoy.
"Now today I just want to go over a quick review" Moony said. "The next time I see you will be the actual first lesson" He asked them several questions which the majority of the class knew. "Okay now let's see you guys up against a Boggart okay?" The class nodded. Harry was afraid of what would come up.
The rest of the class was sitting down. Only Harry was left to face the Boggart. "You ready Harry?" Remus asked. Harry nodded his head and Remus opened the suitcase.
A big shadow flooded out and started to take a shape. There were people walking in chains. Harry recognized the faces. The Weaslys, Hermione, Sirius, Remus and many others. They were being whipped by people in black robes wearing white mask. On a hill cackling his cold high laugh was Voldemort, sitting there triumphantly. By his feet was Harry's dead body. Behind the seen was Hogwarts castle in flames and destroyed.
Harry fell to the ground and Remus had to jump in front of him. They Boggart took the form of a crystal ball.
Whispers went up and down the class. "What was he afraid of? What was that?" they all asked. Remus gave him some chocolate and asked if he was alright. "Do you know what you're afraid of Harry?" Remus asked him softly.
"I'm afraid of Voldemort winning. I'm afraid that if I die Voldemort will take over the world and all will be at his mercy." Harry said quietly. Remus patted his back soothingly.
Soon the bell rang and Harry refused to talk to anyone. He went to dinner where people were whispering and pointing at him. 'Wow. The fastest thing in the world next to light is gossip at Hogwarts' he thought.
After dinner the Trio went in the common room. They sat down and started on their homework they had. Soon Harry nudged Ron and nodded his head in Hermione's direction. Ron getting the drift cleared his throat. "Mione?" he asked. She looked at him. "Don't go out with Harry. He is an ugly git" "Hey!" "Besides he isn't the one that likes you. I like you Mione and I was wondering if you would go out with me?" Hermione squealed "yes" and hugged Ron.
Harry laughed "Way to go Romeo. Hey everyone!" he yelled to the common room. They all stopped and looked at him. "Hermione and Ron are finally going out!" Everyone started clapping and cheering. Harry walked out of the Portrait Hole and shouted for Dobby.
"Yes Master Harry Potter sir?" Dobby asked.
"Dobby can you get us some snacks and butter beer please. Enough for the whole Gryffindor House. Okay?"
"Anything for you Master Harry Potter sir!" Dobby squeaked.
Harry walked back in. People were congratulating them. Even the 1st years who have only been there for a day knew about those two. Soon there were several small pops behind Harry. "Everyone in honor of this moment which has finally come after almost 6 years I present to you food and drinks!" Everyone clapped again as the excited house elves put the food on the tables. However when they all caught sight of Hermione they all squeaked and popped away. Harry thanked Dobby who then too popped away.
"What was that for?" Hermione asked.
"Oh yeah Hermione. The house elves don't want to clean the tower no more so Dobby does it by himself. They don't like the knitted things you leave lying around for them. In fact Dobby collects them. You gotta stop doing that alright." Hermione huffed and started muttering about how they are all brainwashed.
Soon Harry went upstairs. He changed into nice silk pajamas, pulled the curtains around his bed and meditated. He was deep into it when Ron opened up his curtains after the small celebration was done. "Harry?" he asked as he pulled the curtains away. Harry turned to him. His green eyes were rolled up into the back of his head so white orbs met Ron's blue.
A jolt went through Harry as he found himself swimming through a cloud of images of Ron. He kept swimming deeper, he didn't no how to get out. Suddenly he came upon Ron transforming into a chameleon. He was doing it really quick. Harry was so surprised he came back to reality.
"Were you just in my mind?" Ron asked confused.
"I guess so" harry said slowly. "Ron what would you say if I told you, you could become an animagus." Harry said after a awkward silence.
"I can become an animagus? What am I?"
"You can turn into a Chameleon." Harry told him.
"A Chameleon" Ron said dejectedly.
"Ron think about it. You become a small creature that can basically become invisible. Imagine all the things you can do with it! Get out of trouble, escape dangerous situations..."
"...Sneak into the girls dorms!" Harry looked at Ron weird.
"I'm glad you're going out with Hermione man. You really needed a girlfriend" Ron threw a pillow at him. Harry caught it and threw it back. Soon a pillow fight started that the others joined when they came in from downstairs.

All those spells is English translated to Italian thanks to FreeTranslations.com.For the creater of Cassandra McIntyre I hope you don't mind if I used her as that character. If so just tell me and I'll change the name. But I like her as a Slytherin who is different from Malfoy and part of Harry's band, in the future, if it is voted positive.
Chapter 11 First Days Always Suck
Harry found himself in the Room of Requirements at 6 in the morning. Right now it was an exercise room. It had a treadmill, mat, and a punching bag. At 7:30 he went back to his dorm, took a shower and went downstairs to wait for Hermione. Finally she came walking down the stairs.
"I think the plan will be over soon. He almost beat my ass last night actually." Harry told her. Hermione had a smile on her face. "Oh yeah be all happy, not like you're the one getting the crap beat out of you!"
Hermione was about to reply but Ron came down the stairs. "Hey guys" he said. He had a forced smile on his face and didn't look to happy.
"So who are the new teachers?" Harry asked. "I wasn't paying attention last night"
"Well the Dueling and DADA teacher are arriving today so we don't know who they are yet. The healing teacher is Madam Dupont. A healer from St. Mungo's" Ron explained. Harry nodded his head.
Hermione grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him out of the common room. Harry glanced at Ron's face and saw the envy on it. 'Damn it Ron! Just admit your feelings so I don't have to pretend to like Hermione anymore!' Harry thought.

Whispers went up and down the class. "What was he afraid of? What was that?" they all asked. Remus gave him some chocolate and asked if he was alright. "Do you know what you're afraid of Harry?" Remus asked him softly.
"I'm afraid of Voldemort winning. I'm afraid that if I die Voldemort will take over the world and all will be at his mercy." Harry said quietly. Remus patted his back soothingly.
Soon the bell rang and Harry refused to talk to anyone. He went to dinner where people were whispering and pointing at him. 'Wow. The fastest thing in the world next to light is gossip at Hogwarts' he thought.
After dinner the Trio went in the common room. They sat down and started on their homework they had. Soon Harry nudged Ron and nodded his head in Hermione's direction. Ron getting the drift cleared his throat. "Mione?" he asked. She looked at him. "Don't go out with Harry. He is an ugly git" "Hey!" "Besides he isn't the one that likes you. I like you Mione and I was wondering if you would go out with me?" Hermione squealed "yes" and hugged Ron.
Harry laughed "Way to go Romeo. Hey everyone!" he yelled to the common room. They all stopped and looked at him. "Hermione and Ron are finally going out!" Everyone started clapping and cheering. Harry walked out of the Portrait Hole and shouted for Dobby.
"Yes Master Harry Potter sir?" Dobby asked.
"Dobby can you get us some snacks and butter beer please. Enough for the whole Gryffindor House. Okay?"
"Anything for you Master Harry Potter sir!" Dobby squeaked.
Harry walked back in. People were congratulating them. Even the 1st years who have only been there for a day knew about those two. Soon there were several small pops behind Harry. "Everyone in honor of this moment which has finally come after almost 6 years I present to you food and drinks!" Everyone clapped again as the excited house elves put the food on the tables. However when they all caught sight of Hermione they all squeaked and popped away. Harry thanked Dobby who then too popped away.
"What was that for?" Hermione asked.
"Oh yeah Hermione. The house elves don't want to clean the tower no more so Dobby does it by himself. They don't like the knitted things you leave lying around for them. In fact Dobby collects them. You gotta stop doing that alright." Hermione huffed and started muttering about how they are all brainwashed.
Soon Harry went upstairs. He changed into nice silk pajamas, pulled the curtains around his bed and meditated. He was deep into it when Ron opened up his curtains after the small celebration was done. "Harry?" he asked as he pulled the curtains away. Harry turned to him. His green eyes were rolled up into the back of his head so white orbs met Ron's blue.
A jolt went through Harry as he found himself swimming through a cloud of images of Ron. He kept swimming deeper, he didn't no how to get out. Suddenly he came upon Ron transforming into a chameleon. He was doing it really quick. Harry was so surprised he came back to reality.
"Were you just in my mind?" Ron asked confused.
"I guess so" harry said slowly. "Ron what would you say if I told you, you could become an animagus." Harry said after a awkward silence.
"I can become an animagus? What am I?"
"You can turn into a Chameleon." Harry told him.
"A Chameleon" Ron said dejectedly.
"Ron think about it. You become a small creature that can basically become invisible. Imagine all the things you can do with it! Get out of trouble, escape dangerous situations..."
"...Sneak into the girls dorms!" Harry looked at Ron weird.
"I'm glad you're going out with Hermione man. You really needed a girlfriend" Ron threw a pillow at him. Harry caught it and threw it back. Soon a pillow fight started that the others joined when they came in from downstairs.

All those spells is English translated to Italian thanks to FreeTranslations.com.For the creater of Cassandra McIntyre I hope you don't mind if I used her as that character. If so just tell me and I'll change the name. But I like her as a Slytherin who is different from Malfoy and part of Harry's band, in the future, if it is voted positive.
