Chap. 13
Hello Mr. Anderson
Disclaimer: We own nothing. Well okay we do own Hannah, Harvey, Maya, and Leo. Otherwise we don't own anything. So don't sue us.
Starz: Harry Potter was a wizard.
He really did like his lizard!
He had black untidy hair,
But he really did not care.
Harry Potter was a wizard.
He really did like his lizard!
Sapphire: What was that? Turns beat red with embarrassment
Starz: My poem I just made up. Don't you like it? I'm going to call it Harry Potter.
Eowyn: lizards? WHAT!? Why not blizzards, or gizzards?
Sapphire: mumbles something about no imagination when it comes to titles Oh I didn't know that. -.-;
Starz: Yeah I like it. Do you want me to say it again?

Sapphire: NOOOOO!!!!!!! I have heard it already. So on with the story.
Starz: NOO!!!!! You didn't let me finish my poem.
He had black untidy hair,
But
Eowyn: WE DO NOT NEED TO HEAR IT A TON OF UNNECCESSARY TIMES. So please, stop.
Sapphire: I have heard enough to last me a lifetime.
Starz: But you didn't let me finish I'm almost done.
But he really did not care. See it didn't take that long. I thought you liked it.
Sapphire: Well... On with the story.
Eowyn: Too bad I didn't write any of it. But I'm an author all of a sudden. Kinda cool, huh? All I have to do is type some stuff and... never mind.
The next week, Hogwarts decided to have a huge sorting feast. Lots of food was involved and extra tables were conjured. Harvey ended up in none other than the Gryffindor. Jasmine was sorted into Hufflepuff. And everyone else from the famous French school was sorted just before the food came out.
It was hard to talk to Harvey now a days. He was still very upset about Corrina Varens' death. Over the very few days that he had known her he had become very close to her. Not so close that he would be able to get over his little crush on Maya, but close enough for it to really hurt him.
Harvey had been haunted in his sleep every night since that fateful day that Corrina had died. Over and over again he saw the look on her face when she heard those words. Even though it was the second time she had heard them that day. She still looked scared almost petrified. That look of heart-stopping fear had stayed with him ever since she died. It was proving VERY difficult to forget.
There had been a very small funeral for her in France, her home country. Something offended Harvey. She didn't seem to deserve much more than that tiny funeral for being a loyal friend and saving him. He hated every minute of that pitiful ceremony. Especially when he spoke to Corrina's parents.
Flash Back
"Are you Harvey?" A woman with a thick French accent asked him.
"Yes....." he answered uneasily.
"You knew my Corrina? What happened?"
"I knew her...." he started. "She was with me when the Death Eaters broke in. They were after me. She and I were the last ones to get to the portkey. She was in the way of the 'avada kadavra' spell. It was meant for me..."
"It is not your fault Harvey--"but she was cut off by the screams of a hysterical father.
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! SHE'S GONE BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU STOLE MY LITTLE GIRL FROM ME! WHAT DID SHE EVER DO TO YOU? I'LL KILL YOU!" the man screamed. Several other men were restraining him.
While he had expected a hysterical response from Corrina's parents, Harvey hadn't been prepared for that. He stood, eyes wide, tears threatening to fall, when he found his voice.
"I would have done anything to save her! It's not like I wanted anyone to die! It's not like I could have known they were coming...I would have done anything to save her, but I couldn't stop them. She was my best friend. My only real friend..." with that he broke down on his knees and began to cry.
The man stopped struggling and his eyes became softer. He understood now what had happened. His brave, wonderful daughter had done what she thought was right. She had saved another person from facing death. He would never stop missing his little girl, but he would never fail to be proud of her either.
End Flashback
Harvey stared out the window as the last details of the memory faded to mist. The cloudy sky outside Gryffindor reflected everyone's mood. He began to wonder if that was Leo's fault though.
"Harvey, are you in there?" Hannah said, gently tapping on his head with her fingers.
"Obviously, if you're talking to me," he replied more coldly than he meant.
"Whoa, no need to ice me lil boy," she said. She was starting to get annoyed.
Hannah noticed that he had changed a lot since Corrina died. He was cold inside and he never wanted to talk to her anymore. They always talked. It was beginning to make her think that maybe, he couldn't handle it on his own. She was planning on writing a note to their parents, but she dismissed that idea as quickly as it had come. If anyone would tell Harry and Hermione what had happened that day, it would be Harvey.
Just then Leo and Maya entered the room. Parchment and books were piled in their arms. Gloomy expressions made up their countenances as they strode to Hannah and Harvey.
"Guess what everyone? We have homework to do! That's right, all of the teachers sent up their assignments to the towers. Maya and I got stuck carrying yours too, since you didn't come to the Great Hall for supper," Leo said to Hannah more than Harvey. He didn't want to say a lot to Harvey since Harvey was still sort of unstable.
"Oh great, so now I get to fail Snape's class in .front of you too?" Hannah whined playfully.
"See, that's where you're wrong. You've got one of his best students at your side," Leo said full of his ego.
"Yeah, Maya's great isn't she?" Hannah said. She knew what he meant, but couldn't resist the teasing.
"Well, yeah.... I guess. Oww," Leo replied. Maya 'accidentally' dropped three books and a roll of parchment on his foot.
"Come on guys, we have lots of work to do," Maya said. She did not apologize.
"May as well get started I guess," Hannah sighed. She grabbed the books and parchment on Leo's foot and pulled him to one of the desks in the corner. Maya was already setting up when she motioned for Harvey to come join.
Even if he was unstable, Harvey still liked Maya. It was like holding a Hershey bar in front of a chocoholic. He was there in two seconds flat helping Maya with anything and everything he could. In three hours, they managed to go through three assignments. Hannah did a spelling and grammar check, Leo did an answer check, Harvey did a reference to books, and Maya did a lot of the work itself.
When everyone was finished with the homework, they decided to go see Dobby. Harry's strange house-elf friend was sure to hook them up with some after studying food. And dinner was long past. They snuck down to the kitchen and Dobby greeted them with open arms.
"Harry Potter's children? Dobby would be delighted to help! Dobby always helps Harry Potter. Weazy's daughter? Dobby is so delighted to help! You're their friend good sir? Then Dobby is glad to meet you as well!" The house elf shouted in delight. He may have been old, but he was still Dobby. And he was still generous with the sandwiches.
When they finished the sandwiches, Dobby took the tray and told them to leave before they got into trouble. They thanked the little elf and headed back to the dorm only to be cut off by The Rat.
"You people are sneaking food? Well, gee, I guess I better tell on you so I can be mean." He stared at them for a response. Maya stepped forward and slapped him before anyone could stop her.
"You smurfing smurf!! I could smurfing kill you right now, you little smurf!!"
Harvey jumped forward and grabbed her hand that was going in for another strike. "NO! You don't want to touch his head. It's greasy."
Maya jumped back and looked at The Rat with complete and utter disgust. "Yes, he does seem to be a stranger to shampoo. And conditioner for that matter."
Eowyn: Alrighty then. I wrote the last couple paragraphs. I have earned my way as an author!
