Chapter 9

Harry sat amidst great boredom during his seventh year potions class as he combined deadly poisonous ingredients, which instantly exploded and blew up his third cauldron of the week, some students and yet another desk.

"Harry Potter!" sizzled poor, tired Snape, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Michael Jackson, "Why do you think you have the right to blow up my classroom every time you enter it?"

"Because I'm bored," Harry replied as he used the corner of Snape's robes to wipe his glasses. That nasty Harry thought he was special.

"So is everybody else here!" roared Snape, who, as a rule, tried to keep everyone as bored as possible, which he was definitely doing, since everyone else was asleep, face first, in their cauldrons. "What makes you so special?" he yelled, spitting in Harry's face.

"Well I'm me aren't I?" Harry laughed cockily; a very boastful boy indeed… "Besides, I can do this!" Harry turned Snape upside-down and somehow made it permanent so Snape was left with his robes hanging above his freakishly pale face.

"That's it!" grimaced poor Snape as the whole stared at his nasty unmentionables, "You're going to Dumbledore for this!"

Dumbledore sat in his office eating chili: he had a new fetish for it and it was beginning to go to his brain. "Ah, spicy!" he yelled just as Snape walked in on his hands with his robes still at his head, "Oh, hello, Snape you know those are the same pants from last time, just thought you would like to know."

"Oh, really? I haven't noticed… I came for a reason, it's the Potter boy!" he hollered, looking at Harry, who was examining his fingernails.

"Potter? Who's this Potter?" asked Dumbledore. He had lost a lot of his memory in a freak snail accident over the summer. Then he remembered his favorite student, "Oh, yes! I have a memo for you! Some dark lard - herm, that doesn't seem right – oh, no, dark LORD. I couldn't read my own handwriting… yes some dark lord wants to see you. Right away: he said something about discussing a murder of some sort. I think."

Harry hoped that Dumbledore's memory was failing him again… how could he read his fan mail if he was dead? Snape grinned.

"No! It can't be!" Harry cried.

"You're right: it can't be it must be for Snape!" yelled Dumbledore.

Snape stepped back. No, the dark lord should be after Harry, not him! That Potter jerk is ruining his life!

Then Snape woke up: it was just a dream. He remembered that Dumbledore was never in any freak snail accident, he'd already changed his unmentionables, and Harry was gone, and all was right with his world. Little did he know that Harry was also having a nightmare while sleeping in Ginny's arms…

He saw Ginny kissing Terry Boot under a great arch of flowers. She was wearing a long white dress. Her red hair had blue violets in it. She looked beautiful. But she was kissing Terry Boot!

"Hello, Chester!" she said when she saw Harry, "this is my new boyfriend, Terry Boot, isn't he great!" And they went back to snogging.

"Oh, how romantic," sighed Hermione, who was in-between the pages of a giant book.

Harry wanted to yell at Ron to do something, but all he could manage to do was meow. Ron was watching a fly, and then he turned into one.

"I told you crumple-horned snorkacks exist!" Luna yelled flying in on one.

Then Draco walked in and everybody cheered. Harry wanted to scratch his eyes out.

"Hello, Harry, your friends won't help you now!" Draco laughed.

Harry hissed.

"They all like me now," he explained evilly.

Harry hissed more.

"I was the one that set this lovely couple up," he laughed. The crowd of Harry's friends cheered and waved flags with Draco's face on them.

Harry hissed and jumped up to scratch Draco, but Draco captured him by the scruff of his neck and laughed.

"You know, Harry, I did this because I like to see you suffer, because at least your parents liked you, even though they're dead!" he explained, and then he threw him at Ginny's feet. Ginny was still snogging Terry Boot.

"In fact, I'm doing you a favor, so go ahead die of a broken heart, be with your loving parents again!" Draco laughed.

"Remember when I had that silly crush on Harry?" Ginny laughed.

Harry stared at her with big, green eyes.

"I'm glad he's gone… I like you now, he was a LOSER!" he laughed then Draco laughed, then they were all laughing. Harry woke up with a start.

He was glad at first, then he began to wonder bout the dream and he suddenly realized what he really knew for a long time… he had feelings for Ginny!
