Chapter twelve

That evening Harry came back to the Gryffindor common room and noticed that there were many more people around than he would have thought.

In the distance he could see his fan-girl waving at him. He just wanted to wave back when he noticed Ginny was looking at him suspiciously.

Harry whistled innocently and put his arm back down.

Ginny looked a little annoyed but didn't lose another word about it.

He shrugged and went to talk to Ron because his friend hadn't appeared in the story for too long already.

For a moment he wanted to talk to Hermione too, but she was sitting in a corner doing her prefect duties, homework for herbology, potions, DADA and transfiguration at the same time while writing a letter to her parents telling them that she was still alive.

In fact Hermione was the only one who had had homework in transfiguration because the subject had been taken out of their schedules right from the start, she however didn't seem to care and still did her homework, which McGonagall had given to her after Hermione had been begging her for three days in a row.

Harry sat next to Ron and looked around for a moment and then sighed relieved: "Hey Ron, I'm happy to see that there are no fan-girls around you at least!"

Ron scowled.

"Uh, no, that's not what I meant… I mean, they surely wouldn't fit into the common room… just too many of them… yes, that's it!" Harry explained quickly.

Ron nodded: "Exactly…!"

"Where are they then?" asked Harry.

Ron sighed and there was a kind of awkward silence for a moment until a girl ran to them and stopped totally out of breath.

"Sorry, Ron, I had to stalk your brothers Fred and George too! It was easier while they were at school!" she exclaimed and then added: "So anyway I am a 13-year-old girl with blue eyes and brown hair and I am medium height. And my name is Lora. And I am Ron's fan-girl for this story!"

Harry nodded a few times: "Okay, okay… would you please go to the other fan-girls and leave us to some plotting so the plot can go on?"

Lora nodded too and went away to sit with all the other Gryffindor fan-girls who sat in a corner staring at the men of their desires and looking dreamily.

"Ron, since when are they here?" Harry wanted to know finally.

His friend thought for a little while and then said: "You know, we're at war, so most families didn't want their children to return to Hogwarts, so Headmistress McGonagall decided to permit fan-girls… just to fill them empty space!"

"Isn't that dangerous for them too?" Harry asked and looked towards the giggling girls.

Ron shrugged: "You know that Dumbledore was the only one You-Know-Who ever feared…"

Harry nodded: "But now that he is dead we're screwed!"

"No… well, it was a mistake… Voldemort feared Dumbledore… but he also fears fan-girls… they are a power he cannot control… and he can't bring all of them on his side… even though he tried last year by having his back-story in the book, and a really sentimental one if you allow me the comment!"

"Oh, then everything is ok and long as we're the hotter men around here?" Harry wanted to know and sighed relieved.

"Interestingly it isn't all about being hot… you know, the fact that Snape's on our side helped a lot!" Ron explained.

Harry looked around nervously: "Don't talk about Snape in a bad way… they have their ears everywhere!"

Ron nodded and then fled towards the boys dormitories just a second before one well known English (totally crazily obsessed) Snape fan-girl could throw very heavy things at him.

Harry remained at the common room for a few more minutes thinking about all the things he still had to do.

He could easily destroy the one Horcrux he knew of but he had to do it in a funny way… or at least a heroic way.

And he still had to do his homework.

Harry sighed and went to the dormitory to get his books and do some of the things Professor Riddle had told them to do.

Most of it was very boring. Write about werewolves and how to kill them, Harry wished he had kept his notes from third year at that point.

It seemed Professor Riddle had also set an extra task for Harry.

He thought for a long time but didn't know how to fulfil that task and so he went over to Hermione to ask her for help.

"Hermione, where do I get some poison?" he asked.

She looked at him and frowned: "Why do you want poison? Do you want to poison Voldemort now?"

Harry shook his head: "Of course not! It'sfor homework… my extra task says: Take a poison of your choice and see how long it takes you to be dead!"

Hermione frowned even more: "Harry, please, think a little… again!"

It took him a while to get what she was talking about but then she shrieked: "He wanted to kill me? Wow, that's mean… I'll knock on his door and run away as a revenge!"

Hermione wanted to say something first but then she decided to keep her mouth shut. It seemed to be the best she could do in that situation.

A little later Harry's fan-girl walked over to them and announced: "Harry, I'm sorry, fascinating as it might be to watch you, but I'm switching sides… Professor Riddle seems a little… well, a lot more interesting right now!"

Then she walked off.

Harry jumped to his feet and screamed: "HE STOLE MY FAN-GIRL! THAT MEANS WAR!"

Only a little too late he noticed that Ginny wasn't very pleased with this and waited for him not too far away to kick his butt for being so stupid.

Then she stared at him and swallowed: "Harry, is there smoke coming out of your trousers?"

Harry sighed: "Ginny, I can explain!"

Ginny scowled: "I already know… you're annoyed because Voldemort stole your fan-girl… although you should be completely happy with me as your girlfriend!"

"True, but I can also explain why there is smoke coming out of my trousers!" Harry said triumphantly.

Ginny rolled her eyes but waited for the explanation.

"You accidentally but successfully destroyed another horcrux which was my boxer shorts…" Harry exclaimed and kissed Ginny who was too baffled to do anything about anything.
