Harry Potter and the Woes of Harry Potter

"What? What?" asked Hermione, Ginny and Ron frantically looking at the screen,

"There!" said Harry, jabbing at the screen and leaving fingerprints all over it, "read it!"

"The Woes of Harry Potter. Harry Potter meet fanfiction. Fanfiction meet Harry Potter. What problems does Harry encounter while online?" read out Hermione. Her eyes grew round. "It's a fanfiction about us reading fanfiction!"

"Cool!" said Ron and Ginny said, "Let's read it!"

They clicked onto the first chapter. "Reviews v. Hits," said Ginny and began to read it out loud.

""What are you doing, Harry?" Hermione Granger asked, coming up from behind Harry.

"Oh, hey Hermione, I'm just about to upload my story onto this fan-fiction website you showed me," replied Harry."

The Golden Trio listened to Ginny, their mouths getting further open. When they had got to the end of chapter one, Harry and Hermione turned to one another.

"That really happened," said Hermione, "I remember that!"

"How'd the author know?" asked Harry, "do you reckon someone's spying on us?"

"They must be," replied Hermione, "shall we read chapter two?"

Everybody agreed and Ron read out 'Rita Skeeter is WHO?'

""What are you going to do?" asked Hermione, "Have you done all of your homework?"

"Yeah, Ron and I copied yours earlier," said Harry, distractedly as he typed in a website, "I'm going onto that website again and see if there's any good stories up about me and Ginny and how I defeat Voldemort,""

"Haha!" chortled Ron, "that sounds exactly right- us copying your homework!"

"Not anymore," replied Hermione and read on.

They soon got to the end of chapter two and then read chapters three through eighteen. As the story progressed, the four of them got more and more scared about how this fanfiction author knew exactly what had happened.

When at last, the story was over, they sat back against their computer chairs.

"That was really good," said Ginny,

Hermione nodded her agreement and said, "It was funny as well."

"Shall we leave a review?" asked Harry,

"Yeah," consented Ron, "what shall we say?"

Hermione took the keyboard and began to type out a review. The others read as she typed.

"Great story, well done. The four of us enjoyed it and we laughed a lot. Just imagine if that was what really happened!"

Ron sniggered as Hermione pressed send.

"Good one, Hermione!" he said,

"Yeah. Now, who is this mystery author?" said Harry.

He clicked on the author's profile and scanned her details.

"I-confuse-everyone…is a teenage girl from the West Midlands in England," stated Ginny,

"A Muggle?" asked Harry,

"I'm assuming so," said Hermione,

"Then how'd she know?" mused Ron,

"That will remain a mystery," said Harry, "I don't think we'll ever find out."

Thanks to Queenlover, Silver Sailor Ganymede, bruisedpapaya, where-my-heart-resides, Nixinox (no I just used the first AU ideas that popped into my head. Some of them are based on stories I've seen or read but only in general), CherryIzzy, korrd (I put a bit of time travel into the marauders chapter), the-geek, Ashley (I don't know why so many people reviewed it and it's not a fanfiction self help as far as I can take it), I am a banana (erm... I'm going to rely on artistic license for this one), HGShipper, meowcat00, Andromeda 'Andy' Black, Piella and oranges.

Sorry I couldn't resist. Reckon it came out ok?

Review please. Constructive criticism is gladly received.
