There For You
Chapter 4: Voo-boo
Author's Note: Hey, guys! Thanks for the reviews! You're all so nice! Well, I got one review that wasn't nice but oh well! It was an easy one to ignore. Anyway, I'm not going to promise a day for updating the next chapter but it'll be up as soon as I can get it typed! I have tons of science homework this weekend though so I can't promise one this weekend but I'll try! I think this chapter will make you all laugh! At least I hope it will! Enjoy!
Harry walked back to the common room after speaking with Dumbledore with a huge smile on his face. He happily told the Fat Lady the password and went inside. Hermione was ensconced in a very large book about Arithmancy while Ginny and Ron were concentrating on a game of chess. Ginny stared hard at the board and slowly made her move. Ron looked up as Harry sat beside Ginny.
"Hey mate. What'd Dumbledore want?"
"He asked if I wanted to start up the D.A. again!" Hermione's head snapped up from her book and Ginny gasped.
"We're having the D.A. again? Oh excellent!" Ginny exclaimed. "When do we start?" Harry told them the conversation with Dumbledore and at the end, they were all grinning at each other.
"That's so exciting! And it will be so much easier without hiding it from Umbridge and worrying about keeping it a secret," Hermione said. Harry nodded in agreement.
"Where're we having it?" Ron asked. Harry wrinkled his forehead.
"Good question. Dumbledore didn't say. I guess he'll put that on the notice on Friday."
"Well no matter where it is, I can't wait! It was so fun last year and it really helped everyone out!" Ginny said.
"Yes, Neville was actually doing well last year," Hermione added. "He was absolutely determined to do everything." Harry grinned.
"I can't wait for the first lesson."
* * * * *
On Friday morning, Harry woke up a little early and quickly dressed. He ran down to the common room and went straight to the announcement board. The sign was displayed right in the middle for everyone to see. It explained what the D.A. was, told in bold letters that it was taught by Harry Potter, the days that students could attend and where. The directions to the Room of Requirement were written on the notice and Harry smiled. He really enjoyed having that room for the meetings. There were three sign up sheets underneath the notice: one for third and fourth years, one for fourth and fifth years, and one for sixth and seventh years. Harry was the first in the common room so no names were written on it yet.
Harry sat on the couch to wait for the others to go to breakfast. He pulled out his Quidditch planning notebook and estimated where the middle was. He folded the corner to mark the page and titled it 'D.A.' He made a section for each group he would be teaching. He wrote down Patronus under the sixth and seventh year section and thought about what to have the other groups do. After about half an hour, Ginny came down. He stood up and pointed at the sign.
"Look! It's here!" Ginny went to the board and read the notice. She smiled and hugged Harry.
"It's wonderful! There's a sign up sheet and everything!" She rummaged through her bag and pulled out a quill. She neatly signed her name on the top line of the fourth and fifth year list.
"There. I'm the first one signed up!" Harry grinned happily.
"I've already started planning the first lesson for each group so I know what I'm going to begin with."
"Good idea." A moment later, Hermione came down the stairs and immediately noticed the sign. She grasped and ran to it.
"That's a great sign!" She skimmed it quickly. "Oh that really is beautiful." She took Ginny's quill and jotted her name down. Ron came down and they showed him the sign. He wrote down his name.
"Alright, let's go eat." Ron took Hermione's hand and they all walked to the Great Hall. Hermione headed to one side of the table but Ron stopped her.
"No, I want to sit on this side today." She looked at him strangely.
"Just humor me. You'll see why." He pulled her down his desired side. She rolled her eyes and followed.
Everyone was chatting while they waited for breakfast to appear. Harry noticed Ron watching the door.
"What are you looking for?" he asked.
"Just wait." Harry raised his eyebrow but left Ron alone. A few minutes later, Ron grinned and sat up a little straighter. The food appeared and he put some eggs on his plate. He took a couple bites and took something out of his pocket while he chewed. He got Hermione, Harry, and Ginny's attention.
"Ok, now look at Malfoy but not so it's obvious," he whispered. They all carefully looked at him and Ron's eyes moved down underneath the table.
"Draco Malfoy. Purple," he whispered. Suddenly, Draco's hair was bright purple and the Slytherin students around him began laughing. Hermione gasped and Harry and Ginny snorted, trying to cover their laughter.
"Ron, what did you do!" Hermione hissed at him. Ron was doing all he could to not fall over.
"The twins gave me a voo-boo doll thing for Christmas to use on Malfoy," he choked out.
"Voo-boo?"
"Whatever those things are. Fred and George said that's where they got the idea."
By this time, most of the Great Hall had seen Draco's new color and were laughing at him. Ron proceeded to give him purple eyebrows and a matching moustache. Draco didn't know why they were pointing at him and Pansy Parkinson pulled a mirror out of her bag, a look of horror on her face. His eyes grew to the size of saucers when he saw it and he touched his hair angrily. He stood up quickly and stalked out of the room. Before he left, he gave Harry a look of hatred. Harry just laughed harder. Ron collapsed forward onto the table, tears in his eyes. Ginny was shaking with her hands over her face. Hermione just watched them worriedly.
"Ron, if they find out you did that, you're going to be in so much trouble! I can't believe you did that! Who knows what he's going to do now!"
"Oh calm down Hermione! I don't care what Malfoy does! That was too priceless! He looked kind of like a magician!" As Ron said this, he dissolved in a fit of laughter again. The corners of Hermione's mouth lifted slightly but she forced herself not to laugh. She shook her head and bit into her toast.
Draco wasn't seen in class the rest of the day. Ron had a satisfied smile on his face the whole day. Hermione couldn't help but smile too. It was stupid of him to do but she had to admit, it was funny. Of course, she didn't tell Ron that. In Potions, they heard Pansy whining to a Slytherin girl.
"I just feel soooo bad for Draco! He's been in the hospital wing all day! Poor thing!" Ron chuckled to himself and Hermione wrinkled her nose in disgust. Harry highly enjoyed his Malfoyless day. Care of Magical Creatures went well and Potions wasn't nearly as awful as usual without Malfoy there to laugh at him with Snape.
That evening as they left the Great Hall from dinner, they saw Malfoy quickly walking down to the dungeons. His hair was still purple and Ron, Harry, and Ginny burst out laughing. Hermione smiled but controlled her amusement.
"I wonder why Madam Pomfrey didn't fix his hair," Hermione said.
"Maybe the twins made it last forty-eight hours like the makeup Ginny has," Harry suggested.
"Probably," Ginny said.
"That's the funniest thing I've ever seen. I will never forget that moment." Ron closed his eyes and replayed it in his head. He grinned and Hermione lightly slapped his stomach.
"Oh shut up about it already. You did something funny alright?"
"I knew you thought it was," Ron said. She rolled her eyes and they walked into the common room.
Author's Note: That makes me laugh too. Malfoy with purple hair. Oh how funny that would be. Anyway sorry it was short again. I'll take a little longer on next chapter to make more happen in it and not have it so short. Thanksgiving break is coming out and I have a week off so hopefully I'll be able to get out 2 or 3 chapters then. By the way, I'm taking the driver license test on Monday! Ahhh! I'm nervous! I really hope I pass! I have a car and I want to start driving it BY MYSELF! Hooray!!!!! Ok, now for the thank you's.
