"Hey! We're baaaaack…Thanks to all who commented-hope you enjoy the newest batch of craziness (or scariness, whichever you prefer :-). Be prepared for more death (but not Harry yet, of course!), more predictions, and much, much more lightening.
Thanks again everyone, and remember, comments always appreciated!"
Prediction #3:
After two very confusing days Harry was glad just to be having a nice and normal DA meeting. He couldn't remember why they were still hiding if Umbridge had left but he was sure there was a good reason. After all, he was Harry Potter, and he always knew what he was doing.
"Why are we still called 'Dumbledore's Army' if Dumbledore turned evil and then was eaten by a giant three headed dog?" Neville asked as they all gathered in the Room of Requirement.
"Well," Harry answered, "I just got the shipment of DA sweatshirts in the day he died so it's too late to return them." He began handing said sweatshirts out.
"Come on everybody," he urged, "put your sweatshirts on."
"You know," Hermione commented to them as she shrugged hers on, "it would have been much cheaper if I had just made us all sweatshirts instead of you ordering them all."
"No thanks," Ron shivered thinking of the hats and socks that Dobby now wore.
"Don't worry about it Hermione," Harry hurried to add, "we wouldn't want the house elves not to get their freedom."
"That's true," she mused.
Just then Harry's ex-girlfriend Cho stormed into the room, her face streaked with the cascade of perpetually falling tears that ran down her face. In the distance they all could have sworn that they head the sound of thunder rumbling morosely somewhere close by.
"Cho," Harry gasped, "I thought you and all of the other members f the Ravenclaw Quidditch team were killed by Voldemort!"
"They kicked me off the team just an hour before he came to kill them all," Cho explained her lower lip quivering dangerously, "they said that my endless and unstoppable crying was overdone and that they were keeping from playing properly." She blew her nose loudly.
"That's horrible," Harry felt a few tears leak out of his own eyes. After all, Harry himself had been through a great many trials in his few short years of life. So many hardships that had made his life-
"Harry," Hermione said sharply, "are you brooding on your tragic past again?"
"No," Harry muttered mentally adding Hermione being mean to him to his list of trials that he'd suffered through.
"Besides," Cho cut in, "I've had a more tragic life." Harry's eyes narrowed and he gave her quite an evil glare.
"No you haven't," Harry argued. Then he went on a rant that lasted several hours detailing every sad thing that had ever befallen him. When he had finished all but Cho had fallen asleep. Cho was balling her eyes out.
"I've decided to quit the DA and leave Hogwarts," Cho sobbed, "and then," she took a deep breath, "I'm going to kill myself!" Again Harry distinctly heard something that sounded like thunder.
"But why would you do that?" Harry gasped, thinking how horrible it would be for him if his ex-girlfriend killed herself. Why did these things always happen to him? He didn't hear Cho's long rant, which she herself sobbed through.
Just then, Dumbledore's brother came in. Lightning silhouetted him as he stood framed in the doorway. Harry and Cho gasped in surprise.
"I'm here to take you away," he said holding up a straight jacket.
"No!" Harry cried shrilly waking everybody else up. "I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy!" He repeated this in a singsong voice until Ginny hit him over the head with her broomstick.
"I'm here to take Cho Chang away," Dumbledore's brother clarified pointing at the sobbing girl. "She's suicidal and we have to make sure she doesn't bring any harm upon herself."
"Are you some kind of psychiatrist?" Ron asked.
"No I just own a mental hospital," he pulled the straight jacket over Cho and dragged her out of the room. "See all of you soon!" He called as he left.
"I wonder what that meant?" Neville pondered aloud as he waved bye-bye to the nice man.
Predictions:
- the DA continues
- Cho becomes suicidal
- we will meet Dumbledore's brother at some point
