Ch. 2: The cheer
Harry got to his compartment to find that Neville was now accompanied by Ginny, Luna, and... Cho Chang? What was she doing in their compartment when she was usually with a group of giggling friends? That's when he realized that he had just seen some of those girls in the compartment full of lunatics. After blinking several times he sat next to Neville and noticed, to his horror, that both Ginny and Luna were wearing badges. "Please take those off", he asked them feeling worn out. Ginny laughed and took it off, but Luna seemed like she hadn't even heard the petition.
Cho suddenly asked: "Where were you?"
Harry felt a bit uncomfortable after what had happened the year before, but replied: "I was looking for someone named Ashley, but the compartment where he was is full of insane students, including him. There was no way I could talk to that guy about stopping giving badges when students were literally attacking me."
Cho giggled before stating: "Yes. My class has made a club. They call it the Prince Harry Club, but I don't know if I'll join. They do seem a little crazy..."
"A little? One of them cut my hair! He could have chopped my head with that spell, but it seems that he didn't even think that!"
Cho laughed again, but went silent very quickly. "I'm starting to think that you don't like the club?"
Harry looked at her incredulously: "Well, for starters I never even liked being famous from the beginning!"
"Do you want me to talk to Christina about dissolving the club?"
Harry looked at the girl and nodded: "Yes please. I might even kiss you if you do." Ginny giggled at Harry's response, Luna raised an eyebrow, Neville reddened, and Cho blushed.
"I'll go talk to her then. I'll come back to tell you what she says." With that Cho left the compartment, her long black hair swinging gracefully behind her.
Cho did come back, but to Harry's horror she came back with Ashley. Ashley quickly kneeled in front of Harry, making Harry glue himself to the seat trying to somehow be far from the blue haired Ravenclaw with no luck. Ashley grabbed Harry's hands with teary eyes: "Do you really want to disband us after all our efforts! We love you, Harry! We do this for you! We will live for you and we will gladly die for you! So the answer is no! We will make this club the biggest in Hogwarts history!" Harry kept pushing Ashley's hands away with a horrified expression. He even looked at Cho as if asking how she could do this to him. The Asian girl shrugged.
"Ashley, please leave my hands alone. Just get away from me."
Ashley straightened himself and started to jump up and down: "Harry knows my name! And he called me by my first name! I am so happy!" Then he kneeled again and took one of Harry's hands. "I will treasure this day forever and ever." After this Ashley kissed Harry on the cheek and left the compartment. Luna, Cho, and Ginny were laughing and even Neville seemed to be having difficulties trying to supress laughter.
Harry suddenly blurted in disgust: "The only reason why I called him by his first name is because I don't know his last!" The others laughed even more and Luna fell to the compartment's floor holding herself. "Stop that! It's not funny at all!"
At that moment Ron and Hermione arrived. Harry was relieved to only see the Prefect badges on them, and when Ron gave him a questioning look about the laughing students Harry shrugged.
Ron sat down and shook his head: "It seems that several students have gone mental! There was a 5th year, I think his name is Ferrer, he was exclaiming that he got a strand of your hair. He was telling everyone actually, but I didn't believe it." The four that had been laughing broke up laughing again. "Have they gone mental too? Including my sister?" Harry nodded. "So... Is it true? Did Ferrer actually get a strand of your hair?"
Harry buried his face in his hands. Ferrer was probably the one that could have chopped his head off. "Yes. Someone did cut a strand of my hair. Satisfied?"
Ron was shocked, but Hermione looked worried. "I just hope that things won't get out of hand with this club... One thing is suddenly worshipping you, but to cut a strand of your hair? That is almost psychotic. I will speak to McGonagall about this as soon as we get to school."
"I hope McGonagall can disband that club and put the students under control. Like Ron says, it's almost like everyone has suddenly gone mental!", stated Harry decisively.
Cho, who had stopped laughing got up to leave the compartment, but looked at Harry with a smile: "The next time just call him Quidgley. That's his last name. I'm sure it will tick him off. It always does." She winked at Harry and left.

In Hogwarts Harry was relieved of not having any strange encounters with odd fans and soon got off the carriage pulled by Thestrals and went into the school like everyone else. He could see that there were indeed many students wearing the awful badges and he hoped that they would eventually stop wearing them. Soon he was in the Great Hall and was able to sit down. Everything seemed normal and soon he was able to listen to the Sorting Hat's new song and see the sorting of students, applauding those that got into Gryffindor.
After the sorting Dumbledore got up to welcome them to the new school year and remind them about all of the things that were prohibited. Everything definitely seemed normal and Dumbledore introduced them to a new DADA teacher. It was an Auror by the name of Clotilde Bosch. Well, at least an Auror couldn't be like Umbridge. He was very hungry and already wanted the Headmaster to simply let them eat when Dumbledore suddenly said that some students that had introduced a new club had owled him during the summer to ask for a special spot for a special cheer before dinner.
Harry grabbed the edge of the table as he heard Dumbledore's words and shook his head afraid of what would come. Many students were looking at each other and suddenly there was a light effect in the room and everything went dark before light appeared before them again. There, in front of all the tables of the Great Hall was a group of students, mostly girls with some strange pom pom looking items in their hands that twinkled in all of the colours of the rainbow. The students had somehow transfigured their robes to be mini robes, showing a forbidden amount of skin that seemed to be exciting the Hogwarts male population, except for the teachers of course. Harry thought he would faint when he saw that the cheering squad included Ginny!
Ron's eyes seemed to be about to go out of its sockets. "I... am... going... to... kill her! Just look at what she is wearing! I do hope she is wearing knickers!"
The cheerleading squad started to dance to some strange, but fast paced musical melody. The dance was quite err... provocative and sexy. Even Harry found himself looking at the tempting amount of skin being exposed in front of him, although he did notice some of the teachers being horrified. McGonagall had placed a hand on her chest and looked like she would explode any second. Snape's face was also priceless and Harry wished he had a camera with him. He even wondered if Snape was being affected by the skin exposure too. Every male was after all being affected, except perhaps for Dumbledore and Flitwick.
As the dance was ending the group of students did some acrobatic performances in which the insane guy called Ashley seemed to be an expert. Ashley wasn't wearing a mini robes set, but had indeed transfigured his robes into some spandex black pants and so had done the few boys dancing.
The dance ended and the students made different poses and started cheering:
HIS EMERALD EYES ENTICE ME
THEY MAKE ME WILD AND STRIKE ME
HIS RAVEN HAIR HAS NO COMPARE
HIS CREAMY SKIN TEMPTS ME AT NO ENDS
HE IS HARRY!
WE LOVE HARRY!
WE-L-O-V-E-HARRY!
WE-L-O-V-E-HARRY!
YAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
The students transfigured themselves to form the exclamation: 'WE LOVE OUR PRINCE HARRY!' Then they returned to their human shapes, transfigured their robes back to normal, and returned to their tables as the Great Hall went into silence. How did they manage all that transfiguration Harry didn't know.
Harry was already under the table with Ron and Seamus trying to get him out to no avail. If he had been hungry the appetite had certainly dissipated and he just wanted to die on the spot.
Dumbledore chuckled before standing up and announcing that they could start eating, but Harry wouldn't come out from under the table. The Slytherins were having quite the laugh fit in their own table and Harry expected Malfoy to humiliate him in every way possible during the next weeks or even months.
