Chapter 8

A scream was heard…the portrait of the fat lady was slashed.

"It was obviously Sirius Black" said McGonagall.

"Okay this calls for the whole school to have a slumber party in the great hall in case it really was Sirius Black!" Dumbledore announced.

"Harry do you think it was just a coincidence that not only was the slashed portrait in front of the Gryffindor common room but it also happened to be the ugliest and most annoying portrait as well?" Ron asked.

The next defense against the dark arts class…

"Sit down and open your books…yes learning this subject does involve having to open a book and study!" said Snape, taking out a slideshow projector.

"They saw wizards are smarter then muggles, eh? Well we're a bit behind in technology!" said Harry, eyeing the projector.

"Where's Lupin?" asked the kids.

"None of your damn business! Now who knows the difference between a werewolf and an animagi? Yes, Miss Granger?" asked Snape.

"Werewolves can't control their transformation and animagi can!" said Hermione.

"Excellent! 283938472982857945857472672628298698603822864 points from Gryffindor!" said Snape.

"But—but—but—but—

"No buts! Everyone write me a 2983932858734873874586548372278427428484648642824642842842642 word essay on how to detect werewolves and then compare it to your teacher, Lupin—not that I'm trying to hint anything or anything! Now piss off!" said Snape.

A paper crane flew to Harry, Harry caught it and inside found a picture of himself being shocked by lightning on his broomstick! Harry looked at Malfoy, with a surprised look on his face, "Whoa! Talk about hidden talents! You can draw well and have learned the art of origami! Hats off to you Malfoy!" Harry said, "Wait! I have a quidditch game on soon? Thanks for reminding me! If you hadn't then I probably would have forgotten to practice and would most probably end up losing for Gryffindor! You're a real pal! So when's the next time you can tutor me in origami Malfoy? How about Thursday?"
