A Fake, A Fraud, A Phony

(A/N: Okay, so, I've already talked to a few of you and you seem to be wondering what's gonna happen next...hmm...we'll wait and see)

"That's impossible!"Ron said. Hermione nodded."The only way they could come back to life is if they performed the Arias spell. It's really complicated, and only he-who-must-not-be-named has done it,"she said. Harry shook his head.

"Maybe he did it to give me a one last look of them,"he said. Hermione turned to Ron and shook her head.

"But Harry, he wants to kill you. Why would he do that?"Ron asked. Harry shrugged.

At 6:45, Harry walked outside to the Whomping Willow to see it peacefully resting in the shadows. Harry walked a little closer and saw two shadowy shapes standing beside the tree.

"Lumos,"he whispered and his wand lit up. Then, he saw two people he never wanted to see again.

"Potter, you sneak out of the house and over to your friend's house. Now you're coming home,"Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia said.

"No. No, I'm waiting for my parents,"Harry snapped. Vernon chuckled.

"Harry, we forged a note from your parents to tell you to come over here. Now we are going to take you back,"Aunt Petunia said, grabbing Harry's arm and pulling.

"No! Apprevensa!"Harry yelled and out of his wand came a tall and beefy character.

"'Arry? What is it...oh, two again. What you be wan'ing with 'arry?"Hagrid asked. With one finger, Hagrid pulled Harry back and onto his shoulder.

"They're trying to sneak me back."Harry dug his nails into his skin, making red dent marks.

"Muggles?In these 'ere forests?Bloody 'ell! Don't think so!You'd best be off, you 'ruby little pipsqueaks!"Hagrid said and with 2 fingers, flicked Uncle Vernon and then Aunt Petunia out of the Hogwarts grounds. Harry got off Hagrid and thanked him. Harry then ran off to the Great Hall for dinner.

"So, they fooled you?"Ron said, stuffing bun after bun into his incredibly large mouth. Hermione shook her head, poking at her spinach with not much interest. Harry wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, kissing her mouth gently.

"They sure did, and it makes me feel like a pile of cow dung,"he said. Harry looked to his right and saw Parvati Patil staring at Ron, hoping he would look back. Harry noticed this and kicked Ron in the knee.

"Oww! Bloody hell Harry, what is..?"

"Shh...Parvati is flirting with you, you blinded bat."

"Oh,"Ron said, turning to Parvati and winked, waving her over. Parvati smiled and got up, carrying her plate over with her, and sat beside Ron. Lavender took a look from far away.

"Hey hunny,"he said. Lavender looked away, eyes full of tears.

"Bombarda!"Hermione shouted at the floor. She had just seen a lacthook under the table and was forced to open it.

"Hermione! You broke i..."Ron started.

"I know Reparo!"she snapped back and climbed down. Harry followed her. The trap door led them to a room filled with gold and jewels.

"What is it?"Ron asked from above.

"Just the Hogwarts fortune,"Hermione snapped back, letting a handful of gold coins to fall through her fingers. She climbed back up and yanked Harry up with her.

"Did you grab anything?"Ron asked anxiously, his tongue flopping out of his mouth. Hermione shook her head and pointed her wand at the hole in the floor."Reparo,"she mumbeled.

"FYI, Hermione. That's freaking gold down there! Not a whole bunch of pennies!"Ron snapped. Hermione glared at him and sat down."Ron, if you want to be a criminal and a down-right idiot or monster, then go right ahead. Rob your own school,"Hermione growled. Ron looked stunned.

"Fine!"he said and pointed his wand at the floor aswell."Bombarda!"

The floor tiles creaked and squealed and the floor shook. Suddenly, all 4 tables went falling into the floor.

"Harry!"Hermione yelled as she fell through the floor.

"Asmera Comraz!"Harry shouted through the screams of Hogwarts students. Harry pointed his wand and Ron and him so they were flying in the air. Harry dipped so quickly to the hole around them that his contacts almost fell out. He flew down until he saw Hermione falling through the darkness.

"Asmera Comraz!"he snapped and pointed his wand at her so she was flying aswell. Harry wrapped his arms around her and flew back up. They flew up to the Great Hall and looked around. It was a dreary sight. The floor was completly gone except for a few boards floating with one student on each piece. Harry saw frightened Ginny, her legs crossed as she sat on a board and held on to it as it tilted from side to side occasionally. The staff table was floating in the air with all of the teachers sitting on it, their legs dangling off the side(except for Proffesor Flitwick, who's feet were just poking off the side. Dumbledor was standing in mid air, his arms crossed over his chest. He looked very angry.

Harry looked around more and saw Ron sitting on top of a fireplace, Parvati tightly under his arm and Lavender sitting beside her. All of the other students were floating way above Hermione and Harry, including Neville, Seamus, Dean and Padma, Parvati's twin sister. Harry almost burst into laughter as he saw Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle floating upside down in the air, bouncing off walls gently as they floated from side to side.

"Mr. Weasley! You are expelled for 3 weeks from Hogwarts school while we fix the Great Hall! For the rest of you, you will be eating in your bedrooms when you wake up. Mr. Weasley, if you could pack your things and wait by the front door, that would be excellent,"Dumbeldor snapped at Ron and the rest of the students. Ron looked as shocked as ever as he slowly lifted his arm from around Parvati. He looked at Dumbeldor to see if he was kidding, but his face was straight and stern. Ron frowned and flew out of the Great Hall and up to his dorm.

"Ron!"Hermione and Harry called and flew after him. They zoomed into his dorm to see him slamming his suitcase shut and struggling to lift it with him.

"Ron, it'll be okay,"Hermione said. Ron forgot he was mad at her and placed his hand on her shoulder and hugged her and Harry.

"Yeah, I know,"he said and felt tears come to his eyes as the three friends flew down to greet Ron bye.

"See you guys in 3 weeks,"Ron said as he hopped into the horse-drawn carriage and zoomed down the trail to Hogsmead.

Harry and Hermione waved after him, frowning as the large oak doors shut and locked them in. Hermione wiped away a single tear that fell from her eye, and Harry hugged her closer to him, kissing the top of her head.
"I can't believe he's suspended! Ron barely did anything and he gets suspended. Malfoy, on the other hand, does more than two handfuls of bad things, rule breakers, and he gets a lousy 30 minute detention!"Hermione snapped, pounding her fist on the wall. Hermione and Harry walked back into the Great Hall to see the tables with attached benches floating in the air. The staff table had the same thing and the floor boards were starting to come back up.

"Do we get to eat in here still?"Harry asked Dumbeldore. He shook his head."Only occasionally, about 3 times a week,"he said.

Harry woke up the next morning with a sick feeling in his stomach. His eyes were red and his clothes were winkled. He looked to his right and saw Ron's four-poster bed, neatly made with the covers folded and all. He sat up and put in his contacts. Beside his bed on his nightstand was a huge pile of food on a plate and a bottle of pumpkin juice on a platter. Harry took the platter and the bottle and set them on his bed. He sat cross legged and pointed his wand at the platter.

"Winguardium Leviosa,"he mumbeled and soon, the platter was lifting into the air so it was at table-height with Harry. He took his fork and glumly ate his food. Neville and Dean opened their eyes.

"Food!"Neville squealed, waking Seamus up. The three other friends ate their food in a group, talking about today's Potion's test, while Harry sat on his bed and sighed.

The door of the dorm opened and Hermione walked in. Her sleek, shiny hair was loose at her shoulers, passing them and barely hitting her elbows. She was wearing a pair of black jeans, red sneakers and a white T-shirt that had a picture of two broomsticks crossed behind a golden snitch that looked like a skull.

"Hurry up and get dressed,"she said. Harry pulled on a pair of dark blue jeans and a black T-shirt on over his grey long-sleeved shirt. He ran his fingers through his hair and yanked on his Nike's. The two of them ran down to the Great Hall and sat down at a floating table. Hermione pulled out a Daily Prophet newspaper and pointed to the front.
