"Everybody when they talk".
I don't own a thing, so there is absolutely no reason to sue me! Just thought I should make that clear.
Let us have a BIG applause for my wonderful Beta Daesereg.
Previously in The New Trio:
Harry felt good for the rest of the day, no mark, no burden, he could once again walk around with a smile on his face. Sir Harry James Merlin Potter was here to stay!
Chapter 8: Competition.
One week had gone since Harry had started to use the concealing spell, 'Abscondo'. He used it on his wrist every morning, but also on his back, he didn't care what Dumbledore said or thought. And he had had no problems so far, so what could go wrong now?
The whispers and such about Harry had started to calm down now, nothing special had happen and he began blending in with the rest of the student body once again.
The school was nearly back to normal, and there was only one person in the castle that didn't like that. Professor Albus Dumbledore didn't like the word 'normal', it didn't suit him and he didn't want to have it around him.
He decided that something had to be done.
==Hmmm, what to do, what to do? Hmmmm.........Aha!?==
He would have the students do the Ying & Yang project! And not just that, he would make it a competition between pairs. The different pairs (One Ying and Yang) would compete against each other, and the winning couple would get a prize. He would announce it at breakfast next morning, and there was no purpose telling the rest of the staff, it would give them all a nice surprise. Yes he was a genius, a competition it was!
Breakfast next day couldn't come quickly enough for our enduring Headmaster. He made the time go faster by making up questions for the pairs at the competition to answer, and eating sweets.
"Nr 39: 'How many places have you lived in?' Ah yes, that's a good one, hehe. Nr 40: 'What type of wand do you posses?' Nr 41: 'What is your life goal?' Oh, I'm perky today!"
He wrote 50 questions for today's competition and was very pleased with himself, this was going to be fun, at least he thought so!
He sat down at breakfast with a proliferating inexusable grin which made both teachers and students troubled.
[[This can't be good, his eyes are on fire!]]
"Boy and girls, ladies and gentlemen, house elves and ghosts, I have wonderful news for you, we are going to have the Ying & Yang project today. And we are going to make it a competition between pairs, one Ying and one Yang. Each couple will go to separated places of the castle, and get to know each other by asking questions. This will last for the rest of this day and tomorrow morning we'll meet here again and announce a winner. There will be one winner from each year, and they will be given a lovely prize. Professor Snape and McGonagall will call up the pairs and give each couple a note with 50 questions I personally have made. And as you may have guessed there will be no classes today or before lunch tomorrow. So good luck and may the best win!"
That was something the teachers weren't prepared for. Both Professor Snape and McGonagall blinked with astonishment as the headmaster handed them hundreds of notes with questions and one with names of the different couples.
But the 'What the.......' period lasted only for a couple of seconds, Dumbledore had done such things before, yes it wasn't the first time, so they got their act together quickly.
Snape started to call up the pairs and McGonagall handed them the questions and told them where they where to stay for the rest of the day. They started with the first years. Then they arrived at the fourth years.
"Tomas and Finnigan", "Your dorm".
"Parkinson and Sallhouse", "The Charm classroom".
"Lovegood and Wallis", "Greenhouse nr 3".
"Longbottom and Blaise", "The Astronomy tower".
"Weasley and Granger", "The Charm corridor".
"Bulstrode and Patil", "The Astronomy classroom".
"Potter and Malfoy", "Your dorm".
Here both the Professors smirked.
&&Oh bloody hell, just my luck. Now I'm stuck with the dandy oaf for 24 hours. At least I'm in a more comfortable room than the Weasel and Bookworm, the Charm corridor, ha, their in for a painfull stay!&&
Harry and Draco walked quietly toward their dorm; there was no use in complaining. But face it, Harry could have been stuck with one of his ex-friend, and that is something you can call hell on earth.
Draco wasn't so mad about it either; he wanted to get to know Potter. And dig up some dirt for blackmailing, don't forget that!
"Alright, let us get this started. Which place would the gentleman wish to land on; last, in the middle or up first". Harry said vigorously, Draco looked offended.
"First up of course, I'm a Malfoy, we don't loose and I'm not going to let the rodent and the Mudblood win! No, you're going to learn all my answers to the 50 questions by heart even if it kills you".
Harry grinned and sat down at his bed, "Likewise Malfoy, likewise. Nr 1: What is your full name?"
"Draco Benedict Malfoy" Draco said proudly, "Quite a mouthful you got there!" Harry smirked and wrote the answer down.
"Oh shove it, name?"
And then it began, questions after questions were asked and answered, written down and remembered.
"Nr 25: What do you sleep in at night? What is wrong with that man, honestly he's sick!" Harry threw out his arms.
Draco nodded where he sat by Harry's side on his bed where they had gathered after some questions.
"I have to agree with you there Potter, the old twit isn't sane. The answer?"
"Black silk boxers of course, the same as the rest of you!"
"Are you 100 % positive about that? What happened with the shirt?"
"What, not watching me sleep anymore darling, ah I'm feeling unloved!" Harry made puppy eyes, and Draco was a sucker for those.
"Fuck you!"
"Not now honey we don't have time, nr 26: What is your favourite colour?"
Harry got hit –HARD- with a pillow in the face, He would make an excellent caster.
"Green".
Harry wrote it down, "Likewise, but I like dark green".
"Nr 27: What is your relationship with parents?"
Draco became a bit tense, this was starting to get personal.
"You first".
"Eh.......okey. Since I don't remember my parents I guess I don't think about my relationship with them so often. I like them, I'm mean I think they were nice..........well I have some facts that says my father wasn't all nice and friendly, but that was just one time, and he was young........ I, well I don't know them so...."
Draco interrupted Harry after he had awoken again.
"Short Potter, make it short. Are you telling me to remember all that? You can't even remember what you just said yourself. Lets just say your answer is; 'no relationship' and mine is 'okay'".
Harry rolled his eyes, "Alright, alright, don't get all bitchy on me!"
Draco looked at him with arrogance only a Malfoy could posses.
"I don't do 'bitchy'!"
The 4th year Gryffindor dorm.
"Ahhh, Sea..Seamus, ah ahhh, you...you don't....oh yesssss, you don't think we....yes yesss harder......should take a look at the....Mmmmm.....questions soon? Ah..that's good!
"No! (Groan) that can wait, we got lots of, ahh yess do that again! time."
"But we're...ahhhah......sup..supposed to get...to get to know each other!?
"(A long throaty moan) We ARE getting to know each other right now, besides I much mo....oohohohho....more prefer to fuck you at this moment".
"Mmmm, okey".
The Astronomy tower.
"Answer the freaking question Longbottom before I kill you!"
"Oh okey. I..I think it was...oh what's the word.....it was, it was, no I can't say it, it's too awkward.....and I don't...."
"I don't bloody care if it's about you shagging your Grandmother you twit, just answer the question; What is your best dream about?????"
"Oh, I.....I don't know...I don't really remember.."
"ARRG, I'M GOING TO STRANGLE YOU, YOU IMBECILE!"
The Charm corridor.
"Now, concentrate Ron!"
"Alright, alright!"
"Now, where was I, ah yes, my favourite book is named (Latin) Cogito ergo sum. [I think, therefore, I am] and was written by Joan Perry. It's about this young girl at the age of 19 that gets a job in her uncle's shop and there she meets a boy named Henry. We never get to know what the name of the main character is, the girl, but that makes the book more mysterious.
It's a bit of a love story, but at the same time a crime book, debating the human beings need for war.
The main characters talks about the First World War –the book was written by a muggle- and many of their theories are very interesting. I remember this one about humans craving for.........."
Ron fell asleep for the third time that day.
Back to the Slytherin 4th dorm.
"Nr 34: Do you have any pets, if yes; what are their names?"
"A Raven named Claw, you?"
"My Snow owl Hedwig, I'm getting tired of this, can we take a break I fancy some food". Harry leaned up on his elbows and looked inquiringly at his room mate.
Draco did the same, he was quite hungry himself.
"Yeah that's okay with me. I think the old oaf is trying to bore us to death with these questions, and the pairings are totally unfair, I mean Weasley and Granger have been best friends for four years and Tomas and Finnigan have known each other just as long. But we two don't know anything about each other, and don't get me started on Blaise, pore guy got Longbottom, I bet my money that he kills him before this day is over".
Harry laughed, "Yeah, I know what you mean. Now let us gets some food, Dobby!"
The day went quickly and soon it was time for breakfast.
"Good morning Hogwarts, I hope you are all prepared and well because we're getting ourselves one winning couple from each year this lovely morning". Albus Dumbledore announced overly excited.
The great hall had been transformed into what looked dangerously similar to a muggle Quiz Show studio. The four house tables were gone, and different colour lights where everywhere. The staff table where Snape sat with a twitching left eye and McGonagall trying to drown herself in her morning tea, looked like a judge panel with quills and parchments at the ready.
In front of the judge panel where two small tables on platforms standing faced to each other and on them also a quill and parchment. And in front of them again was an ocean of pillows in all kinds of colours with the Ying & Yang symbol on them.
Dumbledore stood at the middle of judge -former staff- table with open arms, a scary grin and the most hideous robe ever (It would be cruel of me to describe it to you, I do not wish to damage your mental health).
&&Who on earth would let the old twit watch Muggle Quiz Shows?? He's going to be my death one of these days!&&
The student body had made themselves comfortable on the many pillows on the floor. Some reporters had also found their way to Hogwarts thinking this was an interesting project and wanted to write something about it. They and the students were at this moment listening to Dumbledore explaining the rules:
"Here is how it works. We are going to start with the first years. One pair will be call up and must answer five questions. When all the first years pairs have be Quizzed the once who answered all the five questions correctly will go to the next round where we will ask them five new questions. At the end there will only be one winning couple, they will win the prize. And so we will go on until we have a winning couple from each year."
With the rules out in the open he clapped his hands and horrible Quiz Show music started to play and multicoloured balloons flouted down from the selling.
"Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the Ying & Yang project competition here at Hogwarts! Let me present our judges today who will sit in the background and watch for any cheating amongst the pairs. We will start with the adorable first years, give a round of applause to Miss Hampshire and Miss Cutwing our first competitors."
The hall broke up in applause and the reporters snapped some pictures.
&&Dear Merlin, help us all!&& (Harry)
#I knew it, he's bloody insane, insane I tell you!# (Draco)
==Oooohhh, this is going to be fun, look at all the balloons, BAALLLOOOONNNNSS!== (Dumbledore)
##I hate my life, I hate my life, I hate my life.......## (Snape)
::Thank God we got pillows to sit on, I'm so sore!:: (Dean)
The competition went well. The two in the pair stood behind each of the small tables on platforms, Dumbledore asked five random questions from the 50 and the two in the pairs wrote down their answer to the question and what they thought their companion would answer. Dumbledore then asked what the answered and they read them out loud.
Then there were the four years turn and the first runners up were Tomas and Finnigan.
"What do you like most about yourself?" Dumbledore asked the first question and the pair made faces of great concentration to find a good answer.
After half a minute the Quiz Show master asked the next question.
"What is your favourite colour?"
The two competitors quickly wrote down their answers. After five questions were asked, Dumbledore wanted for the answers.
"Mister Finnigan, what is your personal answer to question 1?"
"My sexy charm!" Seamus answered with a grin and showed what he had written on his parchment.
"And what did you think Mr. Finnigan liked most about himself Mr. Tomas?"
Dean broke into a sweat, but showed Dumbledore his answer on his parchment.
"Ehh....His friendliness?
"What did you personally answer?" asked Dumbledore Dean.
"My openness towards new things".
"Mr. Finnigan your answer?"
"His hair...............?".
Dumbledore blinked but move on.
"Personal answer to question 2, Mr. Tomas?"
"Blue".
"Mr. Finnigan what did you think his favourite colour was?"
"Blue".
"Your personal answer then?"
"Red"
"And you thought it was Mr. Tomas?"
"Red"
"Personal answer to question 3, Mr. Finnigan?"
"None".
"Mr. Tomas how many aunts did you think he had?"
"Two".
"Your personal answer?"
"Three".
"And you thought he had?"
"One".
"You know, he is only doing this competition thing to get to know more about his students, he likes to think he's in control" Harry whispered to Draco who sat beside him on a black pillow.
"I know", Draco answered back, "but he's not going to get my secrets, remember short answers".
"Personal answer to question 4, Mr. Tomas?"
"Blue cotton pj pants, nothing under".
"Mr. Finnigan what did you think he slept in at night?"
"Blue cotton pj pants with noting under".
"Your personal answer?"
"Red boxers".
"And you thought he wore?"
"Just red boxers".
"Okey last one, your personal answer to question 5, Mr. Finnigan?"
"Her birth name is Solvee, but we call her Sol"
"Mr. Tomas what is Mr. Finnigan mother's name?"
"Something on S......".
"Your personal answer?"
"Vicky, a nickname for Victoria".
"And you thought it was?"
"Rebecca".
Dumbledore clapped his hands together and smiled at the pair.
"Okay that was it, you answered correctly on 2 of 5 questions which sadly means we won't see you again in the second round".
The Gryffindor couple sat down again on the pillows and a new pair was called up. That's how all the fourth year couples went.
One pair mainly answered wrong on one or two questions. And after the all had been quizzed only three was in the second round.
Weasley and Granger got one wrong, Weasley had answered far from what Granger had answered on a Question on favourite books.
Zabini and Longbottom had four wrongs, Blaise Zabini threw his quill at Longbottom at the end.
The three couples who had all questions right was: Parkinson and Sallhouse, Lovegood and Wallis and Harry and Draco.
After round two only Lovegood and Wallis, and Harry and Draco were left. The two Slytherins were first.
Everybody had been surprised when Potter and Malfoy went to second round. No body had ever thought they would have co-operated or even been in each others present long enough to answer the 50 questions.
Dumbledore didn't know if he liked this new Harry who co-operated with Malfoy. McGonagall didn't what to think about this new Harry Potter who talked with Malfoy's. And Snape liked this new Potter who Draco obviously had under his command.
"Welcome to the third round, question 1, What are your parents name?"
"2, Do you have any pets, if yes; what are their names?"
"3, What is your favourite time of the day and why?"
"4, What is your relationship with parents?"
"And 5, What do you know about Muggles?"
The two wrote down their last answers.
"Your personal answer to question 1, Mr. Malfoy?"
Draco showed him his Parchment, "Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy".
"Harry?"
"Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy".
"Your personal answer, Mr. Potter?"
"James and Lily Potter".
"Mr. Malfoy?"
"James and Lily Potter".
"Your personal answer to question 2, Mr. Potter?"
"Hedwig, an owl".
"Mr. Malfoy?"
"An owl, Hedwig".
"Your personal answer Mr. Malfoy?"
"Claw, a raven".
"Mr. Potter?"
"Claw, a raven".
"Your personal answer to question 3, Mr. Malfoy?"
"At Night, it's dark".
"Mr. Potter?"
"Night, because it's dark".
"Your personal answer Mr. Potter?"
"At Night, because it's dark".
"Mr. Malfoy?"
"Night, it's dark".
"Your personal answer to question 4, Mr. Potter?"
"No relationship".
"Mr. Malfoy?"
"No relationship".
"Your personal answer Mr. Malfoy?"
"Okay".
"Mr. Potter?"
"Okay".
"Your personal answer to question 5, Mr. Malfoy?"
"Not much".
"Mr. Potter?"
"Not much".
"Your personal answer Mr. Potter?"
"Some".
"Mr. Malfoy?"
"Some".
"Okey, you got all the answers correct once again Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy. If Miss Lovegood and Miss Wallis answers all the five questions correct once more then we go into a fourth round, but if they make one wrong answer we stop their answering and declare you winners of the fourth years".
&&Yeaaaah, how fun!&&
The competition was finally over, Harry and Draco had won when Lovegood answered wrong on the third question and was now waiting together with the rest of the winners to get to know what they had won.
The reporters had been in heaven when the pair won and wanted to talk to them about who well they knew each other. Harry had sent them his version of Snape's death glare and they backed off, but not before snapping lots of pictures of the fourth year winners.
Ronald Weasley had loudly said his theory on how Potter had manipulated the headmaster and questions, and Hermoine Granger had told to whomever cared to listen on how she was sure Potter had some kind of link all Death Eater had with each other to communicate with one another.
Dumbledore stood once again before the student body with open arms.
"As you all see we have gotten one winning couple from each year, give them a round of applause!"
&&Oh I'm so happy, their clapping for me, I feel so loved&&.
"Each pair will get a prize but the Staff has not yet decided what that prize should be. But don't fear, I will announce it at dinner later tonight. Now off you go, you have one hour before class begins".
They all groaned, battled their way through the pillow ocean and dragged themselves towards their common rooms where they planed to sit down with some friends and gossip over the new and fresh information they had got on the whole of Hogwarts.
"Happy now Princess? You got your 'first up'". Harry asked Draco as he sat down by the black haired teen in the Slytherin common room.
"I wouldn't have expected less!" Draco answered with an air of superiority.
"Of course you wouldn't!"
