I dunno what to say...
Ch. 5:

Harry woke up at 6:45, to find Matthew dancing around the room; all the guys had dared him to start dancing to some muggle CD, Jeff Hill had. At the moment they were listening to 'It's Getting Hot in Here.'
Harry groaned, and jumped off of the bed onto the floor. Nick, Ron, and Neville were still asleep, so he pounded them in the face to wake them up.
"Bloody hell, what is THAT?" asked Ron, annoyingly.
Nick groaned. "They used to play that bloody song at Elbury at 4 in the morning. I hate it!"
Harry shrugged, and went into the bathroom to take his shower. When he came out, Matthew and Chris were dancing to some guy who called himself 'Slim Shady.'
"Potter, come 'ere!" shouted Matthew, and Harry approached him.
"What?"
"I'll give you 1 galleon, if you start dancin' to this song. Deal?" Matthew held out his hand.
"Hell no," said Harry angrily, for two reasons. One: Because he would make a fool of himself. Two: Chris was holding a camera.
Harry, Ron, Nick, and Neville all headed towards the Great Tent. On their way, they met up with Hermione and the rest of the 6th year girls, Morgan included.
Hermione whispered in Harry's ear, "Ron told me you like her." She nodded towards Morgan and continued, "She's going out with that git, Matthew."
"I know, so I guess she's just like Cho," mumbled Harry glumly.
"Well, he's always nice in front of her, as far as I know," mumbled Hermione, and then caught up with a girl that had long, wavy brown hair, Ellie Harris, and Morgan.
"What was that all about?" asked Ron.
"Nothing, let's go." The guys then got some food from the Great Tent, and sat down at a bench. Out of the corner of his eye, Harry saw Matthew and his followers coming in.
"So," said Ron, in between bites, "First class is Defense Against the Dark Arts, taught by... oh crap..."
"What?"
"Mr. Thomas is teachin' it."
"How is that bad?" asked Harry.
"He's just kind-of weird, that's all. I heard 'im playin' guitar last night, and it sounded real lonely, I dunno." Ron shrugged, and started on his eggs.
"Well, he seems all right," said Harry, as the rest of the 6th year boys sat down beside them.
They continued eating in silence, until about 8, when they headed towards the tent, which would be their Defense Against the Dark Arts class. The class was small, since there were only twenty 6th years in all. The only people in the class were Matthew, Harry, Nick, Ron, Hermione, Morgan, and some other girl, named Scarlet.
The class was pretty good, Mr. Thomas, however scary he may be, was a very good teacher, nether less. Most of the time, they just talked about what careers what they wanted, and so Mr. Thomas would know best what to teach.
"Well, Harry, Ron, and me all want to be Aurors, so this is the most essential class for us," said Nick. "We need to learn about defense magic and all that stuff."
Mr. Thomas took notes on everything they said, and for some strange reason, so did Hermione.
"I've always wanted to do something in the Department of Magical Games and Sports," said Matthew.
"Then why do you need Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
"'Cause every bloody ministry employee has to be good in this shit."
"Please, no cussing, Mr. Carter," said Mr. Thomas, dully.
"I actually don't need to take this class," said Hermione bossily. "Though I wanted to get as many classes as I could."
"Right."
"I wanna be a Care of Magical Creatures teacher, so I need to learn how to defend myself against the animals," said Morgan.
"And I'm taking this class, because I too want extra classes," said Scarlet.
So that was their first class, and pretty much the rest of the classes were like that. Harry found it easier to concentrate in potions since the potions professor was replaced, though he still wasn't looking forward to the extra potion lessons he would be taking each Tuesday night. Ron, too had to take the extra classes, but his were going to be Thursday.
Harry was happy, though, because for once in his life, he didn't have homework. He decided to go to the quidditch pitch with Ron, so they could practice. Nick didn't come, because he had decided he wanted guitar lessons from Mr. Thomas, who he seemed to like, opposite of Ron.
When they got to the pitch, carrying their brooms, they found that two 7th years were already there. One of them was Cho, and the other was a boy that with a blonde buzz cut and moonlight eyes. This was Chad Hamilton, head-boy, and if possible, maybe even more popular than Matthew, and probably much nice too.
"Hi, Harry," she said silently, holding onto what looked like a quaffle. Chad was guarding the three posts.
"Hello."
Chad flew down to meet them, while Cho stayed up in the air, blushing slightly.
"You must be the famous Harry Potter," he said politely, holding out his hand. Harry shook it. "And... um... the famous Harry Potter's best friend?" he asked, looking at Ron.
"Yeah," said Ron, embarrassed. "I'm Ron... Ron Weasley."
"So you must have gone to Hogwarts, with Cho. 7th years?"
"Um... no, we're 6th years," said Ron.
"Right. So, do you want to play quidditch?" asked Chad, looking at each of them curiously.
"Yeah, I guess we can play two-on-two," smiled Harry. Chad nodded, and flew back up towards the goal posts. "Okay, Ron, you can play keeper, and I'll play chaser." Then, Ron flew up towards the goal posts. Harry then went towards the middle of the field where Cho was.
Cho threw the quaffle up in the air, and the game began. Since neither Cho nor Harry played chaser, and since both Ron and Chad played keeper, it was very hard to make a successful goal. So after a half hour of playing the score was 20 to 10, Cho and Chad.
They played another half hour, and called it quits, with Cho and Chad winning by 20 points. Chad was a very good keeper.
Harry and Ron walked back to their cabin, to see Nick trying to play guitar. Nick playing guitar was worse than Mrs. Weasley screaming, and that was saying something. They listened to him for a little bit, and then Nick, Ron, and Harry all headed towards the lake to do some swimming.
It was fun, and after that they had dinner, and then stayed at the cabin for the rest of the night. Harry was very disappointed to see Matthew sneaking off with Morgan during the night, and then seeing them kiss on return.
The following week, Harry learned a lot about people from Elbury Academy.
Matthew Carter, Josh Renter, and Chris Lewis, were the probably the most popular kids in school, and they always-played pranks and did stupid dares. They were hot (in the girl's opinions), funny, and everything you would want to be, except they were very self-absorbed.
Morgan Carlson had no idea her boyfriend was a complete git.
Chad Hamilton was pretty much, the new Cedric Diggory, with his handsome looks, and the fact he was Head-Boy. He was also going with Cho Chang.
Nick Parker would be popular, except the fact that he hated Matthew.
