Harry Hunting

Chapter Eight

THE RULES

'They are not so much rules, as guidelines.'

Archchancellor Ridcully

The room was small and crowded as the G.S.S gathered for their bi-weekly meeting. Some one had turned on a radio and cheerful music flowed through the room. Over the chatter and squeals of excited fangirls and fanboys you could barely hear some one cough, no one notices, another cough a little louder, still no one pays any attention. Another cough, this time dislocating something in the coughers throat. Still everyone keeps talking and ignoring them.

"HARRY POTTER NAKED."

The room quietens down. Standing in the middle of the room was the self -appointed, because no one else could be bothered. chairmen of the G.S.S. That is the official- unofficial Hogwarts Harry Potter fan club the Golden Snitch Snatchers.

"Right now I have your attention I want to make sure everyone knows the rules of the competition. I have taken the liberty of writing them down, making copies for everyone, and highlighting the important parts. " There is a series of groans as the papers float through the air, and muttering. 'Anal retentive bastard . . . .' They stop when it sounds like a frog with strep throat has entered the room.

"There has been a problem with some people maybe being a little over zealous and running it for other people." Lavender and Millicent don't look in the slightest sorry for themselves.

Lavender stood up and stated to the gathered Potter fans. "And I would have gotten away with it too if was for that darn dog and meddlesome kids."

"Yes thank you Lavender. I want everyone to know the rules and be warned if you break them well I'll transfigure you into Filch's toothbrush and leave you there for a week.

The rules are as follows:

Golden Snitch Snatcher Official Rule Book for the GREAT CHASE, well it's more like a phamplet but you get the idea.

Harry is not to be permanently harmed in any way shape of form, mentally, spiritually, or physically. 'So all those that planned on sacrificing your souls or Harry's to the dark lord, evil overlord, or Snuffles the evil piggy, to gain his or Harry's favours please think again.'

o You have one week to carry out you fiendish plot, and that is one week starting at midnight Sunday morning going through to the next Sunday If you fail to catch him. "You are not allowed to use a time turner to extend you week indefinitely, that isn't fair on the rest of us."

o To win the special dragon skin bound copy of Creevy's greatest uncensored bathroom shots of Harry Potter, fifth edition, you must have proof that you got Harry into the puffy shirt and he stays in it for at least an hour.

Lavender mutters something under her breath about damn three headed dogs.

o If you are caught by a teacher or uninitiated member of the student body in carrying out your plan you are to deny all mentions of the G.S.S and act like you have been obliviated. 'We are not the musketeers.' Any one who breaks the code of silence will be transfigured into one of McGonagalls tampons.

o You are not to sabotage one anothers plans, just because you didn't get to have hot naked sweaty grinding, . . Pulsing, . . .Pounding . . . . . . "

The chairman began to drool and their eyes stared off into the distance lost in their own special world populated by only them and a very sweaty Harry Potter.

"Some one wake them up, before they make a mess."

A more sensitive member cried The chairman had begun to make strange little whining noises in the back of their throat. With that a worried Ravenclaw sent a quick burst of ice water at their head. Not really where is was most needed but it did the trick anyway. With a start the chairman started talking again

". . . . Sex, you shouldn't ruin it for others.

o No one is to be told about this, no unbeliever is to know about what we are doing, they just don't understand, how much we love Harry. And that means no one is to write to their parents or younger siblings about this either. If you break this rule, well I have heard that Hagrid always wanted a soap on a rope.

o If you succeed in catching Harry you must stay with him for less than a month, and we must all see the both of you together as a couple. No polyjuice, no illusions, it must be Harry himself not under the influence of magic or drugs" half the room exhales in disappointment." For at least twenty days."

I think that covers everything. So far there has been no success, and we have all had the opportunity to laugh at the failure of Lavender, Vincent, Millicent, and Lisa"

"He's a wily bugger."

"Thank you Vincent. Now that we have covered the rules I would like to move on with the meeting . now has anyone seen the latest newsletter?"

Authors Note

I have just been going back through the story and decided that there needed to be some set rules for the Harry Hunt. I will have a full chapter for this story up at some point. Probably.

Also I realise I should fix the layout of the story and it's problems, but it all depends on the plot bunnies for my other stories, how lazy I feel and my attention span.

I have in the past a wonderful beta but I have lost their email, if they are reading this or if any one else would like to beta this as well I am eager to hear back.

Please review and tell me if you have any suggestions for the Hunt.
