Wolf, Witch and Forks
AN: Harry's POV is used in this chapter. It is going to feature Harry and Paul's first Quidditch game at Hogwarts with Neville having a major part later on in the chapter. Slytherin Quidditch Team is going to be the main focus in this. I am following the book and movie chronology as I want to make this story an easy read so no massive side plots which are very hard to get right.

Chapter 10: An Eventful November
Harry
3rd November 1991 Slytherin Table, 8:30 AM Breakfast
"We are still getting weird looks…" Theo whispered. Ever since Halloween, two days back; Harry and his friends were receiving unwanted attention from the Hogwarts student body.
"Just ignore them…" Tracey said with an irritated expression. The four first-year Slytherins were sitting at the far end of the Slytherin table closer to the Professors.
"Trace is right! How do you think we both dealt with Parkinson" Daphne hissed, as Harry asked, "Do you want us to prank the pug?" Daphne and Tracey both started giggling at Harry and Paul's nickname for their unpleasant roommate.
"No need Harry. Paul already has hit her with his signature hair fall jinx twice. Poor pug might not make it through one of your pranks." Daphne said with a devilish smirk. "Daph from your face I can tell that you have pictures? Right?" Theo inquired with wide eyes.
"Oh, I do! Two galleons per photo" "Come on! Give us the friends and family discount?" "Fine! Four galleons for you Theo". Harry laughed at his friends' antics before saying, "Theo! Daph is running a business here, our resident Ms Skeeter! needs the money." Daphne narrowed her eyes at him as Theo mocked her,
"Harry, Daph is not Skeeter, she is Skeeter's pet photographer Bogo!" "Tease me all you want! Don't come running back to me when I sell your embarrassing pictures for a profit." Daphne huffed. A horrible realisation struck Harry and Theo at once as both started begging for forgiveness.
"Daph! You do have the poor lads whipped!" "Wait a few years Trace! I have big plans for being the chief supplier for the Harry Potter fan club!"
"Greengrass! You wouldn't!" Harry shouted terrified. "Huh...you should have thought about it before calling me, Skeeter!"
"Sorry Daph!" he apologised to for the tenth time as they moved out of the Great Hall where Paul, Hermione, Neville and Ron joined them. The Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff first years had the morning period free so Bella, Blaise and Padma were not at breakfast. Harry heard Paul asking Tracey, "What did Shrimp and Theo do this time?" "Called Daph, Skeeter and Bogo."
Hermione who hated the gossip columnist in question chastised Harry and Theo further, "You Idiots! That horrid woman is a stain on journalism!"
"Trace thanks a lot for that! Now, who is going to stop Hermione's lecture on Ethics!" Theo grimaced as Hermione smacked him on the back of his head. "Ouch… you could have caused brain damage!"
Hermione smirked, "As if there is a brain in there!" Everyone laughed when Theo muttered, "I walked right into that one!".
Ron to their surprise then requested Daphne, "Padma and I have a junior chess tournament in Hogsmeade at end of the month…. Daph, can you click some photos…I want them as a Christmas gift for my parents"
"Of course, Ron! I will ask my club in charge professor Babbling and my parents to write me a permission slip for Hogsmeade, my first official tournament! How exciting!" Daphne looked elated her previous anger forgotten. Tracey chipped in happily, "I can also ask professor Sikander if I can be the student reporter for the Hogwarts Herald, Daph! We can both be the official Hogwarts Press at the event!" Ron thanked them sheepishly.
Harry couldn't resist, "Daph, Trace! If you are covering chess tournaments, do you also do Quidditch games? I am afraid to ask your price?"
Tracey and Daphne as one gave him a Hermione like slap on the head, "Ooh… Theo is right you girls are so violent!" "Shrimp it's Padma and Bells rubbing off on them!" Paul sympathised. The girls glared at Paul and him.
Neville who was silent for the entire time then said in a shaky voice, 'Neville needs a confidence boost!' Harry thought as he heard him say, "Can you all come to the GHS Biannual Plant Exhibition… I am taking part… its next weekend it's okay if you are busy…"
Tracey gasped, "Oh how can I forget! Nev, you know that I am also a member of GHS, right? I will be there obviously!" "I thought you quit…after you got into the school newspaper team…" "No! don't assume things on your own" Tracey ran ahead after an angry scoff. Daphne and Hermione followed their friend as Daphne shouted back, "Neville, we are going to be there!"
Paul then muttered stupefied as he put a hand on Neville's shoulder, "Girls…" with the rest of the boys shaking their heads in bewilderment.
"You should have said something before! Do you need any help? Ron and Theo are pants at Herbology by the way" "Oye! Potter" "Hey!'
Neville gave a joyous smile as he shook his head. "I was just nervous… it is not as fancy as a Quidditch game or a chess tournament…"
"Nev… my friend, if Bells can get me to buy two sickle worth of tickets for her MDA Nutcracker Recital starring Malfoy! of all people, GHS would be a blast!" Paul said with a grin. As they reached the greenhouses for Herbology, Theo hmphed "What was Pince thinking making Malfoy the Prince? Peacock already has a massive ego! He should be cast as a rat at best!"
"Bells has been practising her role of Clara or was it Marie… who cares… for two months now! Pig and I are under strict orders from her to not tease Malfoy about Ballet…" Harry said frustrated.
Ron grinned, "I am sure we will have plenty of material after the show." All of them shared knowing smiles. Neville though to their glee informed them, "The MDA puts up Swan Lake before the summer break. First years get to play cygnets or pages, Malfoy would be a baby swan for sure!"
"Nev you are a genius… Now I just need a way to bribe Daph for the photos" Harry thought out loud.
"Good luck with that! Daph is not going to come around that easy. Bells must have also got to her like you two" Ron commented sagely.
"Hmm…" Harry sighed.
7th November 1991, 6:30 PM, End of Slytherin Practice, Quidditch Pitch
"We are going to crush Wood and those scaredy-cats tomorrow!" Marcus Flint repeated to his team. 'So typical!' Harry thought with a grimace at Flint's hate speech against Gryffindor. His teammates were only listening with half an ear and were more engrossed in their own side conversations. Flora and Hestia Carrow were the only girls on the team and played chasers along with Flint. Adrian Pucey and Cassius Warrington the beaters this year with Miles Bletchley as the keeper, were all third years.
Flora giggled as she noticed his expression, "Ooh is ickle-Harry-kins planning Flint's murder in broad daylight?"
"No, sister dear, Harry-kins is too sweet for that" Hestia interrupted before he could respond.
"Yeah, I am an angel, can you both do me a little favour and off Flint for good!" Harry played along.
The Carrow twins both were the dark and cool Slytherin version of the Gryffindor Weasley twins. Both of them had midnight black hair with striking amber eyes. Hestia was also a member of the Duelling team whereas Flora like her namesake 'the Roman goddess of flowers' was the vice president of GHS and could give Neville a run for his money when it came to plants.
The twins cackled, "Oh my! Flo, baby snakes grow up so fast!" "Yes, Tia! Harry-kins do you know why Flint is hating on Gryffindor so much these days?" Harry shook his head in negative. Flora shared a vicious smirk with her twin before saying, "Coz Alicia Spinet chose Terence Higgs over his ugly mug. They were introduced by Katie Bell who is apparently in MDA this year with Higgs. Flint is so jealous that it's not even funny anymore."
Harry's eyes widened, 'Marcus Flint likes Alicia Spinet!' he thought in amazement. He unconsciously blurted, "You are joking!" "Of course not! Who do you think we are, the Weasley Twins?" Hestia mocked.
"Actually Tia! This year the twins are looking good? Fred Weasley surely has put on some muscle" "I am more of a George fan, have you seen his hands" Harry was not sure how to respond when Adrian Pucey put a hand on his shoulder and whispered, "Harry-kins When you hear 'Girls talk' like that, run ASAP!"
Adrian Pucey was a tall boy for his age, he had short brown hair with sea-blue eyes, the girls even Hermione always sighed when they looked at him at the meals to Paul and Harry's confusion. He had heard Sylvia Cooper a fifth year Slytherin that Pucey was right on the top with Cedric Diggory, whatever that meant. Miles and Cassius both were purebloods with aristocratic features, blond hair and light eyes. 'Flora is right, poor Flint might be the worst looking on the team'. Harry thought as he looked up at their captain who had crooked teeth, beady eyes and a large unflattering black mole below his chin.
Miles, now approached their group and rolled his eyes at Flint, "Marcus needs to stop this! Already everyone thinks we are evil incarnate!"
Cassius spoke in a very gentle tone from beside Miles, "I think we should just keep quiet. I don't want him hurting Katie…"
This was news to Harry, Cassius Warrington worried about Katie Bell was even more absurd than Flint's crush on Alicia Spinet. 'Do all Slytherins secretly like Gryffindors!' he thought horrified. Harry asked, "How do you know Katie Bell?"
A blushing Cassius answered calmly, "Katie plays Gobstones with me on the weekends… we are both on the school team…"
Before Harry could say something to Warrington, Hestia teased him, "Harry-kins, wait a few years then you will know why poor Cassey here is red as a tomato!"
"Tia's right! Your little group has so many cute girls and boys! They will definitely grow up to be gorgeous women and men!" Flora added.
"Why do you all keep calling me Harry-kins! it sounds so childish!" Harry complained after which everyone started laughing around him except Marcus who was busy scribbling something in his diary.
Miles sobered first, "Harry-kins, we are snakes, we love driving people up the wall. It is better than what Lahote calls you, Shrimp was it!"
"You are so cute Harry-kins, so much better than Nott" Flora giggled after she pulled his right cheek as if he was three-year-old. "Oye! Theo is my friend!"
"That's what we like about you, the Hufflepuff loyalty towards your Friends! I examined Smith during my Healing Class under Pomphrey's supervision, the nasty rash you and Nott gave him on the arse" Hestia said with a smile.
"How do you know it was me and Theo?" Harry asked shocked. "Please! you both were snooping through the Slytherin common room bookshelves which I maintain and the book on minor curses was missing, I am more impressed that you both pulled it off without getting caught, unlike your lion gang who mauled the poor kid to near death."
"He should have thought before insulting Hermione!" Harry shouted before putting a hand on his mouth. The older students continued to enjoy teasing him for a while. This behaviour he had not seen in the common room where all of them were silent statues with blank faces.
"I like this version of you all, in the common room, everyone seems so distant" Harry commented after getting a lot of ribbing from his teammates. Miles scoffed before saying, "Snape is always lurking in the shadows, I am more interested in keeping myself out of trouble…" Flora nodded before saying with unexpected bitterness, "The Bat just keeps judging me and Tia coz our aunt and uncle both are convicted death eaters, such a hypocrite!"
"Hypocrite? You mean Snape was a Death Eater!" Harry's jaw dropped in shock. "Harry-kins no need to have a heart attack, it's an open secret. I think everyone in Slytherin has a death eater relative or a parent. You being the sole exception" Adrian said patting his shoulder.
"How is he allowed to teach children?" "Our Headmaster vouched for him during his trial and when Albus Dumbledore says you are innocent then the world listens" Hestia answered ominously.
"At least everyone hates Snape," Harry said with a dry tone. Cassius nodded, "Um…Hmm, except baby Malfoy and his cult, no one really likes him. He is a strict teacher, knows his stuff but Merlin! he gives our house a bad image"
Others agreed, as Marcus for the first time in a while shouted at them in rage, "If the ladies' luncheon is over! Can we rediscuss tomorrow's strategy!"
Flora was not pleased, "Calm your tits! Merlin! Higgs and Spinet have got your knickers in such a twist. If I hear one more time that how you are going to smash Gryffindor tomorrow, I swear I am going to hex your balls off."
Hestia followed her sister chewing into a very pale Flint, "Flo! Is so right, take rejection like a man and stop hurling your dragon dung at us and the lions. I am a chaser on the team, not your agony aunt!"
Harry and the other boys on the team were gobsmacked as the twins had done what they wanted to do for the past two weeks, Shut Marcus Flint up for good. Then Hestia turned towards Harry and said, "Harry-kins that's how you deal with sexist pigs. Ladies luncheon! My arse! As if boys don't gossip!"
With that Flint just managed to croak, "Practice is over…"
The Slytherin team was filled with interesting personalities and Harry was glad that he was a part of it.
8th November 1991, 10:00 AM Quidditch Pitch
"Wizards and Witches Welcome to the first game of 1991 Hogwarts Quidditch season! I am your host this cloudy morning, the one and only Lee Jordan joined by my slimy snake friend Graham Montague" Harry heard the Gryffindor commentator announced in a cheerful voice.
"Lee, snakes are not slimy! Stop spreading misinformation! Today's match is between rivals Slytherin and Gryffindor!" Graham was less enthusiastic in comparison.
"Is it always like this?" Harry muttered nervously. Miles though heard him, "Calm down Harry-Kins the worst-case scenario you get killed today, the best is that you catch the snitch."
"Huh… so much for calming me down!" Miles just laughed it off.
"The Gryffindor Team is making their way on the pitch, Seeker Cormac McLagan, Keeper and Captain Oliver Wood, beaters the Twin terrors and my and friends Fred and George Weasley! and our new chaser trio Alicia Spinet, Angelina Johnson with the youngest Gryffindor chaser in a century PAUL LAHOTE!"
Harry mounted his broom on Marcus's signal, "Returning Chasers the Carrow twins and Flint, Beaters Pucey and Warrington with Keeper Bletchley followed our youngest seeker ever HARRY POTTER!" Graham bellowed monotonously.
Harry felt the blowing wind on his face as he flew up to the centre of the field. Paul waved to him from the opposite side which he returned with equal enthusiasm. Madam Hooch whistled, "I want a clean game!" With that, the Quaffle was tossed which Angelina grabbed quickly. Harry was searching for the snitch as he heard the commentary.
"Gryffindor in possession, Johnson passes to Spinet and she just threw the ball to Lahote? Lahote sure is fast on that Cleansweep Seven. Lahote takes the SHOT! He SCORES! 10 points to Gryffindor!" The Gryffindor Stands roared in excitement as Flint barked at Miles.
"BLETCHLY! YOU CAN'T EVEN BLOCK The FIRST YEAR!" the game continued with Gryffindor in the twenty-point lead due to the excellent first performance Paul was putting; Hestia and Flora were no less but Wood was just a better Keeper compared to Miles. Harry noticed all his friends in the stands gathered together waving a combined banner with his, Paul and Theo's names on it. Despite being from different houses they somehow managed to find seats together. Daphne was continuously clicking photos with her camera. Bella, Blaise and Padma waved at him when he flew nearby while Hermione and Neville who were sharing a pair of omnioculars wished him good luck. Ron was sitting on the Gryffindor team bench whereas Tracey was writing something down.
He also observed Flint glaring at the Gryffindor stands and not paying much attention to the Quaffle which the Carrow twins were handling, it was more of a duo than a Slytherin Trio at the moment. Then Flint did something which shocked everyone on the pitch as he went and grabbed the Beater's bat from Adrian's hand.
Flora came up to Harry's side as the game seemed to come to an abrupt pause, "He is going to get fouled for it" She hissed with narrowed eyes. Harry and Flora witnessed with horror as Flint banged the bat on the incoming Bludger and directed it to the Gryffindor stands and not the opposing team.
Hestia and Oliver shouted from across the field simultaneously, "FLINT! What the BLOODY HELL is wrong with you!" "FLINT YOU UGLY BASTARD!". The Weasley twins rushed towards the Bludger which progressed with lightning speed towards a brunette Gryffindor girl who was stupefied in shock on the spot as the other students scrambled to safety. Harry moved closer for a better look and realised that Flint's target was none other than Katie Bell.
Gasps filled the pitch as Madam Hooch was trying in vain to halt the Bludger with her wand. But when the steel ball was about to collide with poor Katie, Cassius to Harry and everyone's disbelief came in the way and a sickening crack resounded across the pitch before Cassius fell from his broom, and landed with a thud on the Gryffindor stands. Katie's scream broke the unbearable silence after a few seconds, "CASSEY!"
Madam Pomphrey with Professor McGonagall and the other upper-year Gryffindors dashed towards where an unconscious Cassius was lying at a painful angle with Katie sobbing loudly at the devastating sight.
Madam Hooch had called a Time out and ordered Flint to the bench where Professor Flitwick and Sprout were waiting with dark frowns. The Slytherin team was now a member down as they did not have a reserve beater. After a few minutes, Lee announced, "Cassius Warrington! Becomes Gryffindor's favourite Slytherin! MARCUS FLINT goes BONKERS! What a Game, folks!" "Mr Jordan!" Professor Babbling scolded. "Sorry Professor!"
Graham though agreed with Lee, "A very dramatic exit for Cassius and Flint going berserk might cost us the match! The burden now lies on our Seeker Harry Potter"
The whistle sounded again as the players retook their positions with Theo replacing Flint and Paul ended up catching the Quaffle. Now three first years were on the field. The game continued as if the previous episode had never occurred. Harry was scouting the grounds for the elusive snitch when suddenly his broom gave a terrible jerk and then it began to shake vigorously.
Theo and Paul were both heavily involved in scoring goals while his team was trying to cover up for the missing beater. Harry wanted to cry for help but he knew no one was paying attention. Then all of a sudden, his broom stopped completely when he thought he was going to fall to his death.
A nearby audience tower interrupted in chaotic shrieks, "Professors QUIRREL! SNAPE you are BOTH ON FIRE!"
Harry was about to go near the tower and check what all the fuss was about when he caught sight of the golden blur near the grounds. McLagan had also seen it and to Harry's disadvantage, the former was closer to the Snitch. Lee erupted, "SEEKERS have spotted the Snitch! McLagan is inching closer! Woah! Potter on his Nimbus 2000 is not far behind"
Graham continued, "POTTER JUMPED from his bloody broom! Potter CATCHES THE SNITCH, SLYTHERIN WINS 320 to 230"
Harry felt exhilarated, as his team hoisted him up in the air with Paul also joining them. His best friend shook his hand, "CONGRATULATIONS Shrimp! Be ready next time Lions would win!"
Theo also gave him a pat on the back and a fist bump with Flora pulling his cheeks, "Harry-kins I knew that you were special!"
His friends came down from the bleachers with Tracey, Padma and Hermione wrapped him immediately in hugs but Hermione whispered in his ear, "We need to talk in private later" Ron, Blaise and Neville congratulated him while Bella tightly hugged him before saying, "Harry stop pulling…stunts like that!" then she also used a hushed tone like Hermione before, "There is something weird going on…" the suspenseful tension was cut when Daphne excitedly shouted, "Picture time! Say SNITCH" "SNITCH!"
10th November, Noon, Hospital Wing
"Cassey, I got your homework from the professors but please Don't stress yourself!" Katie warned before the second year Gryffindor got up, as she saw Harry approaching Cassius' bed.
"Hi, Harry! I was just leaving. Bye Cassey!" Katie gave Cassius a light peck on the cheek before leaving. Harry controlled himself from laughing at Cassius's beet-red face.
"So Casseeeey… enjoying yourself? You were asleep when I visited after the game." Harry grinned, 'Flora and Hestia are such a bad influence' he thought as Cassius replied in his usual gentle voice, "Harry-kins, I can only handle the Twins at the moment. You don't need to join them."
"Ok… Ok jeez, anyway hope you got the news that Flint is suspended till the next term and Hestia is the interim captain for the year" Cassius's eyes darkened at hearing Flint's name. "Yes, Miles told me yesterday"
"When is Madam Pomphrey discharging you?"
"Tomorrow evening, but I can't play quidditch for at least two weeks." "that's not bad. Slytherin's next game is in January…."
"Yea… I guess." Their conversation was cut short when Madam Pomphrey brought Cassius's lunch tray. She shooed him off with a flimsy excuse that the visiting hours were over.
10th November, 7:00 PM, Abandoned Classroom 1C
"I think we overdid it a bit…" Bella said embarrassed.
Paul was having none of it, "It was the right decision! if Pads and Mione had not set, the bat and the stuttering git! on fire, Shrimp would be splattered on the ground!"
Harry was shell shocked to learn that two of his professors were cursing his broom. Hermione asked frustrated, "Ugh… though it can be either of the two or both! I personally think it is Quirrell!" Ron countered, "Snape loathes Harry! Quirrell though can't hurt a fly!"
Others except Padma agreed with Ron as Harry gave Hermione and Padma a questioning look, "Mione, Pads why do you both think Quirrell is behind this? Snape hates my guts, he would surely like me dead!"
Padma answered, "That's simple while Quirrell was directly concentrating at your broom from the start, I caught Snape muttering the spell only after he glared at Quirrell"
"Pads is right, but we decided to use the bluebells charm on both their cloaks, just in case if our hunch was wrong." Hermione nodded.
Harry and the rest of the group were flabbergasted at the astute deduction made by Hermione and Padma. Theo was first to say, "Damn! You both are good!" Blaise was next, "Nice spy work" With Neville and Tracey nodding in agreement before Daphne asked, "Hmm… so how are we going to deal with this?"
His friends started discussing defence strategies ignoring Harry as if he was not in the room. He was now annoyed at their over concern, "Will you all shut up! We are not going to do anything! This is very dangerous; Snape was a Death Eater and maybe Quirrell was one too! You all are going to stay away from them! I don't want anyone getting hurt because of me. Promise Me NOW!"
"HARRY!" "SHRIMP!" the protests soon died down but the atmosphere was still tense when they all decided to reluctantly leave for dinner.
15th November 1991, 11:00 AM, Hogwarts Greenhouses
"This is like a carnival!" Paul said looking like a kid in the candy store. Harry, Bella and Paul were exploring the Gardening and Herbology Society or GHS Biannual exhibition which was being organised at the Greenhouses. It was surprisingly a clear day for an otherwise chilly and dark November. Harry saw Professor Sprout acting as the supervisor and welcoming many guests from outside the school.
"I hope Neville wins! As a first-year he managed to grow a Flitterbloom, that is a fourth-year plant!" Bella said.
"Don't remind me! I had to share my dorm with that green octopus for two months! God was it awful!" Paul groaned.
Bella ignored him as she asked Harry, "Have you seen the rest of the gang? I know that Daphne is helping Tracey with something and Pads is sleeping in today"
"Not yet, but I guess Hermione must have dragged Theo and Ron to the herbology bookstalls, Blaise must be filling himself with those fresh pumpkin pasties which I saw him eyeing earlier."
Bella smiled as they made their way inside Greenhouse Number One, where first-year and second-year students were exhibiting their projects.
Tracey and Daphne were at the entrance of the greenhouse handing out brochures, "Morning Harry, Paul! Bells" Tracey cheerfully greeted them as Daphne who had her camera around her neck handed them some brochures.
"Nev! Is in the back of the Greenhouse! His stall is so popular you can't miss it!" Tracey informed them. Daphne was about to say something when Flora Carrow approached them.
"Harry-Kins! It is so good to see you! And you brought your little friends!" Flora was dressed to impress in a professional-looking blazer and pencil skirt with heels. She was wearing a vice president badge on the lapel.
Paul then teased him, "HARRY-KINNNS, that's a good one!" with Bells joining in "it sounds so cute" Harry hmphed and gave Flora his best glare, "Enjoy the exhibition. Longbottom is the one to watch out for this year! Merlin! to grow a Flitterbloom successfully in a boy's dorm! It's bloody amazing!" Flora said before pulling Harry's cheeks as usual and saying goodbye.
Harry was beyond embarrassed but he noticed Daphne was also giving Flora dark looks, 'Daph! Is my true friend, unlike Paul and Bells!' he thought as they made their way inside. He met many first-years with who he shared classes. Millicent had a stall on carnations that were not even in season! Then there was Lilith Moon selling her home-grown Lilies, her stall name was even more ironic Lilies by Lily.
Paul pointed out that Neville was the only Gryffindor first year in GHS as the club was more popular with the other three houses. Soon they reached the back where Neville had a large plant with tentacles on display that was attracting quite the crowd!
Neville spotted them first, "Harry! Paul! Bella, you made it! Meet Lancelot!" "That thing has a name!" Harry asked with a dropped jaw.
Neville though was unfazed as he started describing the Flitterbloom's properties in detail. Bella then asked, "When will they hand out the prizes?"
Neville answered, "Judging was already done early in the morning! Professor Snape, Sprout and renowned herbologist Lydia Spore! is the guest judge!" Harry had never seen Neville act this confident.
"Octopus should win! It is like a baby Devil's Snare!" Paul commented. Neville then started pointing out that both plants belonged to the same family but were a lot different.
"Devil's Snare requires special licenses! Flitterbloom is way easier to handle. What impressed the judges, was the fertilizer I experimented with to grow Lancelot! You need a very specific condition for it"
"Nev! I hope you win, All the best." Harry said after shaking hands enthusiastically with Neville.
Neville Longbottom became the only student in Hogwarts History to win the GHS Exhibition's coveted Blue Ribbon for seven years straight.
AN: I wanted something fresh for Neville. I actually loved writing about the Slytherin team and inserting Carrow Twins in to diversify it. In canon, they are always the antagonists so some tweaking was done. Thank you all for reviewing the last chapter and following this story. It motivates me to write more every week.
