DISCLAIMER:we dont own harry potter, the young wizards series, or anything related. we just manipulate it a bit.
Chapter 6
"I've heard of her."
Harry, Ron and the whole rest of the room turned around to stare at Hermione.
"I've heard of the series, too. Don't give me those looks, I've only just remembered," she chastised Harry and Ron. They were staring at her with such looks of shock that Hermione suddenly found the intricate patterns of the carpet quite fascinating.
"You probably would have found out soon anyway," she told the floor. "I mean, most people have read the books. For example," she said, her head flipping up to look at Lexie, "Alexis, where does Harry live?"
"Number four, Privet Drive," she answered, as if it were the most obvious answer in the world.
"All right then." Said Hermione, looking pleased. Harry's face was still void of expression. "Maria, is it?" She nodded. "What form does Harry's Patronus take?"
"Oh, a stag." Harry and Ron were in disbelief. How could they know?
"Haylie?"
"Yes?"
"Who are Harry's least favorite teachers at Hogwarts?"
"Severus Snape, Potions Master, Head of Slytherin House, and enemy of both James and Harry Potter, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher, second year, fraud, teenage heartthrob, and all-around idiot." Harry smiled through his incredulity. "Professor Sibyl Trelawney, a Divination teacher who has only made two real prophesies in her whole life, and Professor Dolores Umbridge, Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher, fifth year, Senior Undersecretary to the Minister, 'Hogwarts High Inquisitor'" -she put her fingers up in "air quotes," and Lexie and Maria followed suit- "and Ministry spy."
Harry, Ron and Hermione, as well as everyone else in the room who had read "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," were seething. The trio hated them beyond all belief. She had given Harry and Fred and George, Ron's older identical twin brothers, a lifetime ban from playing on the Gryffindor Quidditch team because Draco Malfoy, Harry's archenemy, had insulted both their families, and they had reacted with "a show of Muggle dueling."
"Damn straight I hate her." Harry uttered through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, it wasn't fair that she banned you at all. Malfoy provoked you, and you were the best Seeker that Hogwarts had ever had for a century. Not to mention the Weasley twins…" Murmured Jordan in awe. Ron glowed with pride. Harry grinned shyly.
"So there's a whole series about us?" Ron asked faintly. "I mean to say, I could pick up a book and find out what I'm like at thirty?" He wasn't shocked anymore; just interested.
"Well-no." Said Jeremy. "Rowling's writing one book for every year and so far, she's only done five. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, respectively."
Harry's face got redder and redder as his name was mentioned over and over.
"Well, I'm going to explore the castle." Proposed Lexie. "It seems a shame that we're sitting here talking when we could be exploring a school of magic. Anybody wanna come?"
"I'll go." Said Haylie.
"Me, too," called J.T. hastily.
"And me." answered Jeremy, just as quickly.
The rest headed up to bed, and the four of them climbed out of the portrait hole, ignoring the Fat Lady's indignant cries of, "I suppose you're going to wake me up again in a couple of hours?"
we're actually on chapter 15 or somewhere thereabouts at the moment, but its all on my computer, and i havent had a chance to put it up yet.
