Chapter 2
RON: -wakes up and yawns- Harry, what time is it?
HARRY: -snore-
RON: Harry? –looks at watch- AAHH! –jumps out of bed and starts getting dressed- Harry! Get up or we'll miss breakfast!
HARRY: I don't care…
RON: I'm starving! Now get up and let's go! –throws a cauldron at Harry-
HARRY: Ow! –rubs his head- All right! I'm coming. –falls out of his bed- Ouch! I shouldn't have gone out last night…
RON: -jumps from one foot to another- Move faster!
HARRY: -starts putting on clothes- God, he's annoying. But his hair looks nice like that. So shiny and- wait, what am I thinking? Ron's my friend and my girlfriend's brother! And a boy! Yuck!
RON: Are you coming already? –bites his nails-
HARRY: Okay, let's go.
BOTH: -go downstairs to the common room-
GINNY: -jumps up and hugs Harry- Someone's looking sleepy…
HARRY: Yeah, I didn't sleep to well…
GINNY: Too bad. –kisses Harry-
HARRY: But I think I'm starting to feel a little better… -grin-
GINNY: -giggles and kisses Harry again-
RON: Will you stop it you two, I'm hungry, let's go get breakfast!
HERMIONE: Is that all you think about? Food?
RON: Right now, yeah!
HERMIONE: -rolls eyes- I don't know what I saw in him in the first place. Probably just his horrendous hair, who could miss that?
HARRY: If you're that hungry, we better go to breakfast. Come on!
EVERYONE: -goes to the Great Hall-
RON: -eyes widen- FOOD! –starts eating, sending pieces of bacon and egg flying through the air-
HARRY: -looks at Ron for awhile- I'm not hungry anymore.
HERMIONE: Me neither. Ron you're such a pig!
RON: -is insulted- Pffthfmunf!
MCGONAGALL: -hands out lesson plans-
GINNY: -looks at her plan- Oh great. I have Divination, Potions and double Herbology. Trelawney, Snape and Sprout. Add a little mustard and you have a salat!
HARRY: -looks at his plan- I have History of Magic, double Potions and… Defence against the Dark Arts! With the new teacher!
RON: -still eating- Wut? Ew eechr?
HERMIONE: Yes, Ron, with Professor Ivanova.
GINNY: She didn't seem like a person who knows much about dark arts or defence against them. I hope she's not like Umbridge. –squeaky voice- "Open page 15 and read the new chapter".
HARRY: -laughs- Yeah, I hope too.
HERMIONE: Let's get going or we'll be late for History. Hurry up Ron!
RON: Last sausage, I promise!
GINNY: -points her wand at the sausage- Incendio!
SAUSAGE: -catches on fire-
RON: -squeal- My sausage!
EVERYONE IN THE GREAT HALL: -looks at Ron funnily-
HERMIONE: -tries hard not to laugh- I think you've had enough Ron, let's go.
THE TRIO: -go to the History class-
History of Magic class.
PROF. BINNS: -floats around-
HARRY: Looks like Binns is still teaching.
RON: Aw, I forgot my pillow!
HERMIONE: -smacks Ron- You should really pay more attention in class. You can't keep copying my notes forever! And besides, sometimes these lessons are quite interesting.
RON: Yeah, like that time someone threw a stone through Binns.
HARRY: -laughs-
HERMIONE: -stare-
HARRY: -shuts up-
THE TRIO: -go and sit in the last row-
PROF. BINNS: Good morning class.This term we will be learning about the 1556 leprechaun revolt.
HERMIONE: -makes notes-
EVERYONE ELSE: -snore-
HERMIONE: Ron! Harry! You can wake up now! The lesson's over.
HARRY: -sleepy- Yeah… we better… -yawn- get going…
RON: -sleepwalks-
HERMIONE: We have Potions next, you wouldn't want to be sleepy around Snape.
RON: -wakes and looks around terrified- Snape? Where? Where?
HERMIONE: Behind you.
RON: -jumps around- Where? I can't see him! Is he under an invisibility cloak?
HERMIONE: -rolls eyes- You're such an idiot.
RON: But you like that, right?
SLYHTERINS, GRYFFINDORS: -stand in front of Potions class-
HERMIONE: Draco's here! I hope my hair looks okay.
HARRY: –smirks- Draco's here! I already forgot we were in Potions together.
RON: -looks at the wall- This painting looks nice.
DRACO: -sees Harry- Damn, Harry. Why do you have to look so sexy with your hair all messy like that? I can't even think of any insults!
SNAPE: -barges in-
EVERYONE: -enters the class and quickly sits down-
SNAPE: -makes scary face- Looks like everyone is still alive… unfortunately. Open page 176. You'll find instructions for the Draught of Living Death. You've got until the end of the lesson. Begin.
HERMIONE: -starts making the potion-
RON: -looks at the ceiling- I never noticed what the ceiling looked like before…
HARRY: -looks at Draco carefully- It's strange how much people can change in just one year…Tonight will be interesting.
DRACO: -looks around the classroom- Idiots. All working so hard on their potions… like it matters. –looks at Hermione- Granger. She's adding components so quickly…I wonder how her hair doesn't get in the way… And Weasley… looking at the ceiling with a stupid face. Guess that idiocy runs in the family. –sees Harry looking at him and smirks- Harry… he's the only normal one out of the "Golden trio." I'm meeting him again tonight… I don't know what I'd do without his help. But I suppose Dumbledore knows what's for the best. Oh shit, Snape's coming and I haven't even started!
SNAPE: -lurks around the classroom- Longbottom!
NEVILLE: -pees his pants- Y-y-yes Professor?
SNAPE: What colour is the potion supposed to be by the halfway stage?
NEVILLE: P-p-purple, Professor?
SNAPE: And what colour is your potion?
NEVILLE: Yellow.
SNAPE: That's right. Yellow. It is useless. –flicks his wand and Neville's potion disappears-
NEVILLE: -cries-
HERMIONE: -whispers- Why does he have to be so strict?
SNAPE: 20 points from Gryffindor for speaking during the lesson.
HERMIONE: What? But I…
SNAPE: 30 points from Gryffindor for speaking again.
HARRY: But she just…
SNAPE: 100 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!
SLYTHERINS: -laugh-
SNAPE: 30 points to Slytherin for behaving during the lesson.
THE TRIO: -stare at Snape-
SNAPE: -gets nervous and sits down-
BELL: -rings-
SNAPE: The lesson's over. Put whatever goo you managed to make into a bottle and then bring it to my desk.
EVERYONE: -puts whatever goo they managed to make into a bottle and takes it to Snape-
RON: Is it lunchtime now?
HERMIONE: Urgh! Does everything you say have to be related to food?
RON: Hey, calm down. I'm just hungry!
HARRY: -backs away-
HERMIONE: That's the thing, you're always hungry!
RON: No I'm not!
HARRY: How can Hermione be mad at Ron? Just look at his face, he looks so confused…so sexy…Wait! There I go again. I DO NOT LIKE RON IN THAT WAY!
HERMIONE: You just don't understand, do you? You're so selfish! –runs away-
HARRY: Ooookay… that went well.
RON: Hermione! Wait! -pouts-
HARRY: Don't worry, Ron. –pats his back- She's probably just a little tired today or something…
RON: But I talk about other stuff besides food, right? –looks hopefully at Harry-
HARRY: Umm… yeah! You talk about lots of other stuff like… um… like… quidditch!
RON: -thinks- Yeah, you're right, Harry! –smiles- Now let's go get a sandwich from the kitchen!
HARRY, RON: -head for the kitchen-
DRACO: -lurks around the corridors- Damn Pansy! I can't even go to lunch because of her. Always hanging around my neck, that hooker... Crabbe and Goyle better keep a good look out for her.
HERMIONE: -is running away from Ron and Harry- "I talk about other stuff than food too". Yeah right.
DRACO: Maybe I can grab something from the kitchen. –turns a corner-
HERMIONE: I should have broken up with him right that moment. –turns a corner and runs into Malfoy-
DRACO: -tries to get up- AAH! GET OFF ME PANSY!
HERMIONE: -falls down again- What?
DRACO: That doesn't sound like Pansy. –looks up- Granger! What do you think you're doing?
HERMIONE: -gets up- Oh my God I ran into Draco! And she called me Pansy. Why did you call me Pansy?
DRACO: -gets up and cleans his robe- I thought she was trying to tackle me again. –disgusted- But it was you.
HERMIONE: It's not like I was planning on running into you, it's all Ron's fault!
DRACO: -smirk- Weasel-boy?
HERMIONE: -sneers- Yeah, Weasel-boy.
DRACO: Nice smirk.
HERMIONE: Thanks, but it's a sneer.
DRACO: Oh, I'll have to try that. –sneer-smirks-
HERMIONE: That still looks like a smirk.
DRACO: What about this. –sneers-
HERMIONE: That's pretty good! And scary!
DRACO: Thanks. But tell me what Pumpkin-head managed to accomplish this time?
HERMIONE: Ron… he just drives me crazy! All he talks about is food and… Wait. Why am I talking about this with Draco? And why is he listening?
DRACO: And…?
HERMIONE: -suspicious- Why are you listening to me and not calling me a mudblood?
DRACO: -laughs- We're all adults here. Voldemort's gone, my father's in Azkaban, why should I call anyone a mudblood anymore? That's something for firstyears.
HERMIONE: -surprised- Wow. And I thought you were an arrogant smug jerk.
DRACO: -thinks- I still am, but now I just don't insult people that much.
HERMIONE: -laughs- Listen, I've got to go now, I promised to meet Ginny.
DRACO: All right, but this didn't happen okay? I've still got a reputation to keep. -smirks-
HERMIONE: As do I. -smiles and walks away-
DRACO: -continues his lurking-
HERMIONE: I think I just had a normal discussion with Draco. Maybe he doesn't hate me after all…-gets to the Gryffindor common room-
GINNY: Hermione! I can't wait to tell you!
HERMIONE: What?
GINNY: Let's go to someplace quieter. -drags Hermione to the girls' dormitory-
HERMIONE: So? Tell me!
GINNY: You know I had Potions and Divination this morning.
HERMIONE: Yes…
GINNY: Well, I think Snape winked at me in Potions.
HERMIONE: -laughs- Snape? Winked?
GINNY: Listen, there's more! In Divination, Trelawney said, that today a person who loves me would give me a sign! And Snape winked! That means he must love me!
HERMIONE: But Gin, most of Trelawney's "prophecies" are made up!
GINNY: But some aren't! Last year she predicted that the next person to come through the door will fall and break an arm and when a thirdyear came, he fell and broke his arm!
HERMIONE: Just a coincidence.
GINNY: But is it? And Snape touched my shoulder when he was checking my potion! Is that just a coincidence?
HERMIONE: Yes!
GINNY: But… but… -sob-
HERMIONE: I think that you should look for more signs. If he really likes you he'll give them. I just wouldn't believe everything Trelawney says.
GINNY: You think?
HERMIONE: Yes. But you can't be too pushy. Wait for him to do something.
GINNY: All right. Thanks Hermione! –hugs her- I've got to go to Herbology now. –leaves-
HERMIONE: -looks at watch- I'm almost late for DADA! –runs-
HARRY, RON: -sitting in DADA class-
RON: Do you think Hermione will show up?
HARRY: Yeah. She wouldn't miss a lesson.
HERMIONE: -runs in and sits next to Harry-
HARRY: You made it!
HERMIONE: Yeah, I was talking to Ginny and the time just flew.
PROF. IVANOVA: -steps out of her office and stands in front of the class-
BOYS: What a hottie!
GIRLS: Stupid bimbo!
RON: -has a stupid look on his face- Whoa! She's hot!
PROF. IVANOVA: Good afternoon. My name is Elena Ivanova. I will be your teacher for this year.
HARRY: -whispers to Ron- She speaks English really well, I thought she was from Durmstrang!
RON: Huh? Oh, yeah. -can't take his eyes of the professor-
PROF. IVANOVA: Since you have been studying Defence Against the Dark Arts with six different teachers, who all, of course, had very different teaching styles, you have not learnt some of the most simple but yet important things when it comes to defence. However, I would like to see what you can do. Please form pairs and come here to the front of the class.
STUDENTS: -start forming pairs-
RON: Hermione, want to practice with me?
HERMIONE: No, I'm already with Harry. –grabs Harry's hand and goes to the front of the class-
RON: -blinks-
PROF. IVANOVA: Does everyone have a partner? –looks around the class and sees Ron- What's your name?
RON: What? Um… Ronald Weasley.
PROF. IVANOVA: Well, Ronald, since you don't have a partner you can practice with me. –turns towards the rest of the class- Everyone, listen up! This is what you'll have to do: one of you will try to hex the other one while the other person has to defend with a defensive spell. And try to use non-verbal spells.
EVERYONE: -start casting spells-
PROF: IVANOVA: -pulls out wand- So, Ronald, try to hex me with a non-verbal spell.
RON: -still amazed by the professor's beauty- What? Yes. I'll do that. Wait. What was I supposed to do again?
PROF. IVANOVA: Hex me, Ronald.
RON: No, I couldn't do that.
PROF. IVANOVA: -puts her hands on her hips- And why would that be?
RON: But you're a girl! And you're pretty! I couldn't do it.
PROF. IVANOVA: -is slightly surprised and smiling- Is that a fact? Then I'll just have to hex you. Get ready!
RON: -pulls out his wand, ready to use a defensive spell-
PROF. IVANOVA: -flicks her wand-
RON: -falls over-
PROF. IVANOVA: -sighs deeply- You were supposed to use a defensive spell, Ronald.
RON: -tries to get up- Whoa! What was that?
PROF. IVANOVA: -pulls him up- That was a simple stunning spell and if you had used a proper defence spell, nothing would have happened to you.
RON: -is dizzy- Wow. She's pretty and smart. She's perfect!
PROF. IVANOVA: Go practice with those boys over there, I have to see how the rest of the class is doing. –starts walking around the class-
RON: -goes and practices with Seamus and Dean-
PROF. IVANOVA: -sees how everyone is doing-
RON: -still staring at the teacher and getting hit by everyone's hexes-
PROF. IVANOVA: The lesson's almost over. I'd like to say a few things. Most of you know know something and can perform easier spells. Some of you are extremely good –looks at Harry and Hermione proudly-. But some of you still need to practise. I want to hold a few extra lessons with those students. We can't go on with our lessons if some of you don't even know how to use a defence spell! So would Blaise, Dean, Ronald, Vincent and Gregory please stay behind. The others may go.
EVERYONE: -gets their bags and leaves-
HARRY: -says to Ron- I'll meet you later in the common room.
PROF. IVANOVA: -waits until everyone has left- So. The five of you need to work a little bit harder if you want to pass your N.E.W.T.-s. That's why I will hold special lessons for you five. The first lesson will be tomorrow night at 7 right here. Don't be late or you'll get detention. All right?
THE BOYS: -mutter- Yeah, yeah.
PROF. IVANOVA: You may go then.
RON: -goes out of the class and leans against the wall- Special lessons with her? That'll be something…
The end. Well, this chapter was a little longer than the last one, what do you think? Any kind of suggestions would be very helpful. )
