The next day at breakfast, everyone in Gryffindor was telling the six how awsome it was that they flew to school using Arthur's car. Everyone except Ron and Hermione.
"What's the matter with you all?" She asked. "Don't you get it? They could have been killed. Or worse, expelled."
"She's got a point. Ginny you shouldn't have done that." Said Ron.
"Ginny." Said Seamus. "Is that your owl with a howler?"
Just as Neville taped up his wand, Errio flew down and landed on the bacon. Covering him in greace.
"The bloody bird's a mess." Said Ron.
"It's for you Ron." Ginny said as she gave him the red envilope.
"Why would Mum send me a howler? What have I done?" Ron asked.
Without thinking, Ron opened it and,
"RONALD WEASLEY! FREDRIC AND GEORGE WEASLEY!" Their mothers voice shouted as the holwer took the form of a mouth. "YOU THREE HAVE COMEPLETELY RUINED GINNY! SHE WOULD NEVER PULL A STUNT LIKE STEAL THAT CAR! I AM VERY DUSCUSTED WITH YOU! YOUR FATHER'S FACING AN ACRIETY AT WORK AND AND NOW GINNY WILL NEVER BE A PROPER LADY IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE, I'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME! Oh and Ginny, Harry, Tom, Jerry, I'm sorry you had to do that. Whatever had the barrier blocked up had me wondering sense Arthur and I were stuck on the other side."
The howler then hissed like a snake at Ron and Fred And George before it burned to ashes. Just as another owl showed up. This time it was for Neville. But it wasn't a howler. Just as letter as he opened it.
Neville
McGonagall told me what happened. But don't worry. I think it might have been for the best. Did you make it alright? If anything happened to your wand I'm sure we'll get you a new one. And do make me proud again like last year.
Ever yours,
Gran
One more owl came and dropped a letter in front of Luna. As she opened it,
Hello Luna,
It must have been the Nargles that wanted to keep Harry away from school I think. They could have been the ones who seeled off the barrier to Platform 9 3/4. But we don't know fore sure. But anyway, good luck this year and be careful.
Love,
Daddy.
"Hello Harry." Said a boy who just took his picture with a cammra. "I'm Colin Creevy. I'm in Gryffindor too."
"Hello." Said Harry.
"Hey Harry."
"Cindy." Harry said as he turned to Hermione's sister. "I see you made it in Gryffindor."
"That I did." Cindy said smiling. "And they way you took that car here. Brillient."
"Cindy!" Hermione hissed at her sister. "That was not brillient! That was dangerous!"
"But still brillient"
Hermione sighed.
"Where did I get such a sister?"
Tom and Jerry had been quiet the whole time but they listened to what was going on.
"You think Cindy is alright?" Jerry asked.
"I don't know. But she seems happy." Said Tom.
The first class was Hurbology. The class was in a greenhouse and the teacher was Professor Sprout. Head of the Hufflepuff house. And she was walking in to begin the class.
"Good morning class." She said.
"Good morning Professor Sprout."
"Welcome to Greenhouse three second years. Today we will be repoting Mandrake. Can anyone tell me what Mandrake is? Mr. Longbottom."
"Mandrake, or mandrogora is known for a potion that can save anyone who has been petrified." Said Neville. "But they're also deadly. Their screaming can kill anyone who hears it."
"Very good. 10 points to Gryffindor. Now sense these Mandrakes are only babies, their screaming won't kill you yet. But they can knock you out for sevale hours. Now each of you has a pare of earmuffs so put them on."
The class did as they were told and put on the earmuffs.
"Got them on? Are they in a furm grip? Alright. Now, pull the Mandrake out of the pot."
She showed them by pulling out her Mandrake and it screamed. The class held onto their earmuffs as tightly as they can.
"Then you put it in the other pot and sprinkle it with some soil."
Harry and Tom and Jerry were amazed and shocked. Not only did the Mandrakes hate going out of the earth, they also hated going back in.
By then, Dean Thomas began to feel wolsy and clappsed.
"Mr. Thomas must be having problems with his earmuffs."
"No ma'am. He just fanted." Said Ginny.
"Oh. Just leave him there then. Alright now. Beging."
Everyone yanked out the Mandrakes and they all screamed. Harry and Tom and Jerry watched Malfoy tickle his Mandrake. Only for it to bite his finger. Making them laugh.
"What are you lauhging at scarhead?!"
"Nothing." Harry said smerking.
After that came Defense Against The Dark Arts. And as Harry and Ginny and Tom and Jerry and Neville and Luna had known sense Diagon Alley, Lockhart was the teacher as he walked out from his office.
"Aloue me to introduce you your new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher. Me. Gilderoy Lockhart. Order of Merlin third class. Honorary member of the dark force denfense league. And five times winner of Witch Weekly's most charming smile award. But I don't talk about that. I didn't defeat the Bandon Banshee by smiling at her."
"He's over himself isn't he?" Harry asked Neville.
"I'll say."
"Does he have any wacksperts?" Ginny asked Luna.
"A lot of them really."
"I see you all baught a complete set of my books well done. Now I thought we'd start today with a little quiz. Nothing to worry about. Just to check how well you've read. How much you've taken in."
He handed out parchments to the class. And when he did, Tom and Jerry looked at them.
"Get a load of this." Said Jerry.
"These questions. They're all about him." Said Tom.
"Favorite color. Greatest achievement tonight." Said Neville. "He's really over himself."
"You have 30 minutes. Start."
Everyone dipped their quills into their ink and began to write down their answers. After the 30 minutes, Lockhart looked at the answers.
"Hardly any of you remember that my favorite color is Lila. Except for young Harry Potter. And he knew that my secret ambition is to rid the world of evil and market my own range of haircare potions. Well done Harry."
"I wish I didn't have to read those books." Harry said to Neville and Tom and Jerry.
"Now be warned." He said as he walked over to a red tarp. "It's my job to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizard kind. You may find yourselves facing your worst fears in this room. Know only that no harm can befall you whilst I'm here. I must ask you not to scream for it might, PORVOKE THEM!"
He moved the tarp and revealed cage of blue fairy like creatures.
"Cornish Pixies?" Seamus asked laughing.
"Freshly Caught Cornish Pixies." Said Lockhart. "Laugh at your will Mr. Finnigan. But Pixies can be devilishly tricky little blighters. Let's see what you make of them."
The moment he opened the cage, the pixies flew out and attacked the whole class. Causing chaos in the whole room.
"Come along now! Round them up! They're only Pixies!"
Tom and Jerry tried hitting them with their mallets. But the Pixies were too fast. Until two of them grabbed Tom by his ears and lifted him up in the air.
"Hey! Let me go you little...creeps!"
Jerry managed to get a couple of them. But did very little damage to them.
"How about that?!" Jerry asked as he hit another.
The two Pixies had lifted Tom to the chandelier before they let him go with him hanging by his arms on the polls.
"You just stay there and don't move anywhere!" One of the Pixies shouted at him.
"Let me down!" Tom shouted.
"Get off me!" Ginny shouted as one of the Pixies grabbed her by her hair.
"Ginny don't move!" Said Harry. "Jerry give me your mallet!"
Jerry handed Harry his mallet and then. Harry swang it on the Pixie and knocked it away.
"Thanks Harry." Ginny said as Harry gave the mallet back to Jerry.
By then, Lockhart pulled his wand and casted,
"Pesky Pixie Pester Darmy!"
It didn't do anything. By then, a Pixie snatched the wand and flew to the dragon skeleton.
"Acrioup!"
The wand broke the chain as the skeleton fell to the floor.
Lockhart then ran up the stairs to his office as one of the Pixies tried to take one of his protraits. He tried to get it back. But the Pixie was too strong is it snatched it away.
"Harry. I'll ask you and friends to nimb them back into their cage." He said as he went into his office.
"He's a frod." Said Harry.
"No he's not. You're just jellice." Said Lavender.
"Can we just stop them?" Neville asked.
"I'm on it." Luna said as she pulled out his wand. "Immobulus!"
This time, the spell worked as all the Pixies had freezed where they are.
"Well done Luna." Said Tom. "Can I come down from here now?"
