Whew. Okay, lets start on the (completely true) reasons this chapter is SO
late. Well, I went to my dad's for Easter, and he doesn't have a computer.
Also, I had to re-write the first part of this chapter, because the
previous version sucked.
Please please please don't hurt me!!!
Caz Malfoy ~ Why thank you. And I'm afraid there wasn't much attacking of Draco. And I'm getting to the H/D part, pwomise.
Usagi Serenity Yui Cosmos ~ Thanks. *Blinks innocently* but Sevvie doesn't have a sister. *Smiles*
Fanny chan ~ Sorry. It's late. I know. Sorry. Very interesting, Ron and 'Mione trapped in a room.
LoonyLoopyLisa ~ Now really, not once did I say that Sam was Snape's sister. And I can't tell you what Hagrid's got, it'd ruin the surprise!
Cherry-Bay ~ Sorry 'bout the cliffy. I'm glad you like it anyway. And no, Snape does not have a sister.
TaraAmber ~ Aw, thanks for dropping the pitchfork! And it's a bit longer than I thought, nearly six pages!
TanisaFyre ~ Oh yay! Finally someone who got it right! No offence to the rest of you, offence only to me and my story. You gave me an idea with the ferret thing. Thank you!!!
SparkySparkles ~ *Laughs* Yes, there is Draco. There is lots of Draco, especially for you!
The Demonic Duo ~ Oh, I AM glad that you weren't murdered! Thanks, glad you like!
Sailor Grape ~ A very crazy plan. Sorry I made you wait so long, I really am, and I'm very glad you like it so much!
MorningDarkness ~ I'm sure it's funny. At least, I hope so. I feel a little sorry for Draco though...
Beth Weasley ~ Glad you like the Potions thing!
silver_tears ~ I hate elves too, but they DID take away that scary pitchfork. *Hands you repellent for elves* Does it help?
Icy Flame ~ Thank you thank you thank you! Glad you like Seamus, so do I, but I can never see enough of him!
Obsessed ~ Uh oh. A pitchfork. This cant be good. Well, Yoda didn't train me, and neither did Dumbledore. I'm afraid that it was Snape and Remus. It's not the computers fault, don't kill it! Sorry it took so long!
beautifulelf ~ Thanks! I will get them together, now stop that sobbing and read!
Chapter is dedicated to everyone who has ever reviewed it, because you guys are brilliant! And I am SO SORRY that the chapter was SO late!!!

Harry, Seamus, And The Master Plan
By Silver Wolf
Chapter Nine ~ It's the GRIM!!! RUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!
Looking back, it had been one of Harry's better ideas. Remus had agreed immediately, because it would annoy his sister.
On the other hand, it had been quite difficult to convince Sam that the Gryffindor and Slytherin sixth years were not the spawn of Satan, and that they hadn't been too hard to teach since Harry and Draco had called a truce the year before.
Sam's final and main argument was that she had never taught before, and hadn't the slightest clue of what to teach them.
Harry had remedied that by telling Sam what Hagrid had been planning for that lesson.
When the half-giant had told Harry, Harry hadn't been able to stop laughing for half an hour while imagining the expression on a certain classmate's face. Hermione and Lavender had considered sending him to the Hospital Wing, but Seamus had protested in Harry's defence, saying that white wasn't his colour. Dean had agreed with him, but Ron said they'd colour his straightjacket red. When Harry calmed down, he hadn't spoken to Ron, Hermione and Lavender for three hours.
Harry told Sam this, and when he'd explained the significance, she'd laughed for two minutes, agreed to teach the class, and ran off to the library to brush up on her knowledge of this particular creature.
**********************************************
Hermione had wondered about the expectantly curious look on Seamus's face, and about the knowing smirk Harry was wearing.
Of course, when she'd found out what they would be studying for the next three lessons, she had an awful lot of trouble suppressing her laughter, and Ron hadn't even bothered.
The expression on Malfoy's face was priceless, as was the growing anger and embarrassment as the professor listed all the similarities between it and it's less magical counterpart.
When they'd been given one to look after in groups of four for the lesson, Hermione had joined Ron in laughter as Malfoy was handed a pure white one.
On the other hand, when the professor had grouped him with Zabini, Harry and Seamus, they'd stopped laughing............at least until they saw the identical smirks the Gryffindor boys were wearing. Then they just grabbed their own and were grouped with Pansy Parkinson and Neville.
**************************************************
Draco didn't think he'd ever been quite so embarrassed in his entire life. Not even when he'd been thirteen and caught trying to turn his uncle into a tomato, and his father made him wear a frilly pink dress and a big bow in his hair all through the Christmas holidays.
The insults from the stupid creature didn't bother him. The problem was, Jarvey's are like overgrown ferrets, and theirs was pure white.
Potter seemed to find it fairly amusing, but his and Finnigan's laughter was nothing compared to Weasley, Thomas, Granger and Brown.
Draco decided that those four were up the top of his 'Must Prank ASAP' list, right up there with his uncle, Snape, Snape's wife, Hagrid, Fudge, Pansy, and THAT DAMNED JARVEY!!!
Blaise gave him a worried look as he treated the Jarvey to his 'glare of death'. "Are you okay, Draco?"
"Fine, Blaise," the blond replied through gritted teeth.
Blaise backed away carefully, deciding that his friend wasn't in a good mood. No, it was more like a 'royally pissed off' mood.
**************************************************
Seamus and Harry hadn't really been paying attention to their Jarvey and group, as Ron, Hermione, Pansy and Neville's Jarvey was having a lot of fun insulting Neville, and Pansy had told it top shut up several times. Both she and Neville looked ready to throttle the thing, while Ron and Hermione were listening to something that Sam was saying.
So both of them were quite shocked when Zabini backed into them.
"Oh, sorry Finnigan, Potter. I was so worried about getting away from Draco that I stopped paying attention to where I was going."
"Why were you getting away from Malfoy?" Seamus asked.
"He's a bit pissed off at the moment."
Harry stopped paying attention to them as they continued to talk, and decided to rescue his rival from the evil white Jarvey of doom. Besides, Sam had just told them to take the creatures back to her, but Malfoy was still trying to make the Jarvey burst into flames on the spot by glaring at it.
"You all right there, Malfoy?"
The Slytherin jumped about a foot in the air, and turned to him. "Bloody hell Potter! You scared me!"
"Sorry, I was just going to tell you that it's time to put the demon critter from hell back in it's box."
"Oh."
The Jarveys were returned to Sam, and the students left for their next class. Harry and Seamus shared an evil smirk. Plan A, Phase One was ready to begin.
****************************************************
For the first time all term, the door to Remus's classroom was locked. The sixth year Gryffindors stood outside, waiting for the door to open.
Harry wasn't as patient as his friends. He stepped forward and knocked. There was no answer.
A minute later, they heard someone walking up the corridor, and turned to see their Professor and a large black dog walking towards them.
Parvati screamed. "It's the Grim!"
Lavender slapped her across the back of the head. "Don't be an idiot, Pav."
She blushed. "Sorry."
The rest of the class were holding back their laughter.
"Morning class. And yes, there is a reason for the door being locked. I needed to talk to you all before we go in."
Harry and Seamus glanced at each other, and then turned back to Remus. The werewolf winked at them.
"Anyway, today we're working in pairs, which I've chosen for you. When I open the door, I will direct you to your appointed seats and you will work on the task that is written on the piece of parchment at your table. The pairs are: Hermione and Ron, Harry and Seamus, Lavender and Dean, Neville and Parvati."
Remus unlocked the door and pushed it open, before directing them to their seats.
Harry and Seamus sat down to see not one, but two pieces of parchment on their table, and that one was an envelope.
Harry grabbed it, opened it and pulled out the letter, allowing Seamus to read it over his shoulder.
'Harry & Seamus,
Yes, there is another purpose to this whole odd class set-up.
Moony, Sam and I talked for a bit, and then decided on our course of action.
Ron and Hermione's chairs have an adhesive charm that'll go off when the rest of you move, and they wont be able to move until half way through lunch.
Also, there's a timed silencing charm around their table that will begin at the end of class, and disappear as soon as Moony locks the door, so no one knows that they're unable to leave.
Good Luck,
Padfoot'
Seamus grinned. "Brilliant. That man is a genius."
Harry smirked. "I know. For the first time this year, I can't wait for Defence to be over."
"Felix, how are we going to know what's going on in here?"
"Why it's obvious, my dear Imp. I've got a charm set up in here so we can hear them. We've got to be in Moony's office, but he said that's okay."
"Good. Now, what's this assignment all about?"
Harry grabbed the other piece of parchment and they read it.
'Harry and Seamus,
I've decided to be kind and not make you do anything too strenuous, I was going to give you a task that'd take all month, but I can't be bothered thinking one up.
Now, all I want you to do is write a combined essay on Hippogriffs. No, you CAN'T ask Hagrid, but I can't help it if you want to write to someone you know who owns one, can I?
Hand it in this time next week, when everyone will be handing their's in.
Professor R J Lupin'
Seamus raised an eyebrow at Harry. "What's that last part about? Who do you know who has a Hippogriff that isn't Hagrid?"
"Padfoot. He escaped on Buckbeak, remember?"
"Oh yeah!"
The lesson went by painfully slow for Harry and Seamus.
"All right class, you worked well today. I suggest you leave quickly, as I'm locking the door in exactly one minute."
The class left. Harry couldn't resist taking one quick peek at Ron and Hermione, who were trying to stand up and gain someone's attention, but failing. He grinned, and heard Seamus laugh behind him.
They left quickly.
