Chapter 5

Harry's Hearing and a Badge

Hermione woke me up…shaking my shoulder and making my body shake like an earthquake.

"Come on, Hannah, it's time for breakfast." she said, shaking me harder until I shot up.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." I said, waving her off and looking out the window…it looked like the crack of dawn. "What time's it?" I asked.

"Seven." Hermione said while Ginny got up.

"The hell-?" I started, checking my watch before groaning. Hermione was right "Whatever happened to sleeping in?" I asked.

Hermione rolled her eyes "Oh, come on. You can wake Ivy up, then. She's normally in bed until nine."

I groaned and stood up, toeing on my fuzzy slippers "Fine, but if Ivy kills me for getting her up, I'm haunting you!" I called out, heading into Ivy's room and slamming the door "IVY, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED BEFORE I SIT ON YOU!" I shouted.

Ivy threw a pillow at me, which got me in the face. "Not so loud." she muttered, turning over.

I smirked "Well, good morning, sunshine." I said, giggling.

Ivy covered her face with another pillow "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who sent you?" she said, her voice muffled.

I smirked "Mione." I said simply "It's breakfast time." I shrugged.

Ivy grunted (or was it snored?) and pulled the pillow tighter over her face "I'll be up in two…maybe three hours." Ivy said.

I threw the pillow in my hands at her "No." I said "Mrs Weasley said now."

Ivy groaned and shot out of bed "Ugh! Fine!" She said, slipping on a sweater.

I groaned "Awe, man!" I said "And I was gonna threaten to tell Harry you wanted to kiss him."

"Han, not in the mood." Ivy said bitterly, hugging her sweater "You should really share my room, that way you can stop yelling at me for sleeping in." she suggested, heading out the bedroom door in her pyjama bottoms.

I smirked at Ivy's morning grouch "Oh, someone needs a joke this morning. And the one I'm thinking of is a doozy worthy of Fred and George." I said, tearing down the stairs, yelling "HARRY! SOMEONE UP HERE IS DYING TO GIVE YOU A BIG, FAT JUICY KISS! GUESS WHO IT IS!"

Ivy ran up behind me and grabbed my arm when I was on a landing, throwing me to the wall "Not in the mood." she growled, walking down the rest of the stairs, running a hand through her short hair.

I rolled my eyes and followed her "Someone needs a hug." I said aloud "Or Harry to kiss them." I add, giggling as I entered the kitchen.

"I'm not a morning person in the summer." Ivy said, entering the dining room, where Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George and Ginny were already seated.

"Still!" I said, smirking at my brother "Hey, bro. You hear me yelling?" I asked.

Harry nodded as Ivy walked to the seat across from him and sat down, putting her head in her arms.

"You look awful, V." Harry said simply.

I turned to him with a "No shit, Sherlock." look "No shit, Watson." I said (hey, I wasn't going to call my brother Sherlock…that's me!) "Didn't you hear her? She's not a morning person. Hey, Fred, George." I added, nodding to the twins.

"Hey, guys." Ivy muttered grumpily.

"Someone needs to snog Blaise." I said, rolling my eyes.

Ivy glared at me.

"Hey, it's better than snogging Harry." I said, making her grumpy look fade "I hear he's no good…he hasn't even kissed a girl yet! Unless…one of you girls wants to-?" I offer.

"SHUT UP, HANNAH!" Harry shouted, belting me one over the head "Stop trying to set me up!"

I smirked "I could always set you up with Daphne or Astoria Greengrass." I pointed out.

Harry glowered at me.

"Oh, shut up, Hannah!" Ivy snapped, getting up and leaving the kitchen without another word.

"Someone's PMSing." I muttered before turning to the twins. "That thing I said about Harry never kissing a girl was funny, right?" I asked Fred.

Fred grinned "Damn straight, it was hilarious! Ivy's just not in the mood for jokes." Fred said, taking a bite of food from the plate Mrs Weasley set in front of him.

I grinned "Thanks, Freddie." I said proudly, tucking into my breakfast "So…Mrs Weasley." I said during a mouthful of toast.

"Don't talk with your mouth full, Hannah, dear." Mrs Weasley said.

I swallowed "So, Mrs Weasley." I started again "Why've we been woken up at farmer's hours?" I asked.

"I'm going to the Ministry, Hannah." Harry said to me, taking a sip of orange juice.

I paled and dropped my fork, looking over Harry's outfit that Mrs Weasley must have picked out. He looked ready for the hearing. "That's today?" I squeaked.

"Yeah." Harry said, getting up "I guess I'll see you all later."

I got up at the same time, hugging Harry "Good luck, Harry." I said, kissing his cheek.

Harry kissed my other cheek "Thanks, sis." he said before leaving with Mr Weasley.

When I heard the door slam, I finished my breakfast without another word.

After breakfast and the dishes were cleared away, I put my head down on the table and groaned "Ugh, how am I going to keep my mind off that trail?" I asked.

"Why don't you go talk to Hermione and Ivy upstairs?" Ginny suggested.

I nodded and sat up "Yeah…yeah. And while I'm at it, I can check and see if Draco wrote me yet today." I said, standing up and hugging Ginny "Thanks a load, Gin." I said, heading upstairs.

Ginny nodded and finished eating with Fred and George and Ron.

When I got upstairs, Ivy was looking at a roll of parchment.

"Hey." I said, sitting next to her. "What're you reading?" I asked "Are you reading my mail?" I accused blankly, making a grab for the parchment.

"Actually it's mine." Ivy said bitterly, pulling it away and crumpling it up.

"What?" I asked, looking around the room for Draco's owl.

"It's nothing." Ivy said, and in my peripheral vision, I saw Ivy ripping the letter into confetti and throwing it to the floor.

I looked around to the window and saw Aurora pecking at the window.

"Someone not like what the letter say?" I asked "What'd Blaise say?" I said, heading over to let Aurora into the house.

"It wasn't Blaise." Ivy said bitterly, petting her mini owl June from her spot on the bed.

"Then who?" I asked "It couldn't have been a family letter, or you'd have gotten Maria." I said, nodding to June.

"Don't worry about it." Ivy said simply, continuing to pet June as I took Draco's letter off Aurora's leg.

"Ok." I said, unfurling the letter and reading it.

Dear Hannah,

Don't miss me so much, love. It's only another couple of weeks till I see you on the platform.

We're going to be getting our Hogwarts letters in a few days, who knows…maybe your handsome ass boyfriend will get a Prefect's badge. *pause for groan/sigh/laughter*.

I'm with Blaise today, we're going to hang out in Diagon Alley. You want anything? Mother gave me a load of money to blow with Blaise on ice cream and stuff. It's a good excuse to spoil my princess a little more. *pause for eye roll and giggle*

Blaise says hi to Duff and that he misses her *eye roll* the lovesick fool.

See you on the Platform, Hannah (maybe with a shiny new Prefect's Badge.). I love you.

Yours,

Draco.

I smiled and turned to Ivy "Draco's with Blaise today. Blaise says hi and that he misses you." I said, smirking.

"Aw!" Ivy said, her eyes lighting up, before letting her face fall "Please tell me you didn't tell Malfoy about this place."

I gave her a 'You don't trust me?' look "No. I didn't. The last letter I sent to him on Privet Drive just said I would be with you. Nothing else. I'm not stupid." I said, picking up a quill.

"Good. Tell him you're at my house. He can't know you're here." Ivy said, picking up a book and starting to read it "And tell Blaise I miss him too."

I gave her a 'Honestly?' look. "No, really? I never thought that with Draco's father being a Death Eater, that telling him my whereabouts would be so dangerous." I said, dipping my quill in some ink and beginning to write "And fine, I'll tell Blaise you miss him, too. And I'll tell him that you hate yourself for waking yourself up from your dreams of him snogging you senseless with your obnoxiously loud snoring." I said, laughing.

"Do that and you'll never see sunlight again." Ivy said, turning to me with a death glare.

I rolled my eyes and smirked "Oh, please, Ivy. Your snoring sounds like a dying moose. Don't think I didn't hear you last night." I said.

"I do not snore and you know it." Ivy snapped.

I glared at her "Yes you do!"

"Do not!" Ivy shouted.

I huffed, my quill making a large blot on the "D" in Dear. "Yes, you do. Don't believe me, go ask Fred and George and leave me to write in peace!" I said, pointing my quill towards the door.

"You're impossible." Ivy said, putting her book down.

I smirked to her back "Yeah, at least I don't snore!" I said "I'm a Slytherin, we're too classy."

June flew onto Ivy's arm and Ivy stroked her feathers.

I grinned "No comebacks, Duff?" I asked.

"Whatever, Han." Ivy sighed.

I stuck out my tongue and started my letter to Draco without another word.

Dear Draco,

You can't stop me from missing you, even if it is for another couple of weeks. And we'll see about the prefect badge. Who knows, maybe your wonderfully attractive girlfriend will get the badge *pause for bigheaded smirk and witty comeback*

Ivy misses Blaise too. She says that she hates herself for waking herself up from dreams where Blaise snogs her senseless with her loud snoring. *Pause for witty Gryffindor remark* (jokes, jokes. Ivy doesn't snore or has dreams about Blaise snogging her senseless [But you never know?]).

Have fun in Diagon Alley. I couldn't possibly ask you for anything. You spoil me too much, damn it! It's not funny, if you're laughing.

Did you get your Hogwarts letter yet? I can't wait to get mine. I can't wait to see your face if I get the badge. I will rub the power in your face so badly, you won't need a facecloth anymore. *pause for laughter or competitive sneer.*See you at Hogwarts, Dray. I love you.

Yours,

Hannah.

Ivy didn't say a word as I tied the letter to Aurora's leg and let her fly out the window to Draco's.

I turned to her after Aurora wasn't visible anymore "What's the matter?" I asked "Worried about Harry?"

"Yeah." Ivy said simply, setting June down.

I nodded and sat on the bed next to her. "Me too. But we'll be fine, no matter what the outcome." I said, finally serious for the first time that morning "And besides…" I said, fighting off a snicker "if Harry is expelled, I can always cheer him up with imitations of you snoring." I said, bursting out laughing and making dying moose sounds.

"You want me to send June after you?" Ivy asked, moving June closer to me.

I flinched and moved back some, remembering the last time June attacked me and Draco in second year "No!" I squeaked, stopping the moose sounds.

Ivy smiled and June pulled back.

I heard the sound of the front door slamming and I tensed, turning to Ivy "Is it-?" I started asking.

"Harry." Ivy asked, closing her eyes and looking into Harry's memories. She scolded…and then she smiled.

I gulped. "Well?" I asked, biting my lip and dropping the quill I was holding.

"He's coming to Hogwarts." Ivy said, smiling wider.

I gave a little scream and started to run downstairs, yelling "HAAARRRYYY!", refusing to stop until I jumped into his arms and hugged him, nearly tacking him in the process.

"Whoa, Hannah!" Harry said, nearly falling over backward.

I giggled and jumped down off him "Sorry. I guess I got a little carried away. Still don't know my own strength." I said, hugging Harry normally "They cleared you!"

"Yeah." Harry said, pulling off me "It got intense down there." I scoffed "Who cares?" I asked "Point is, you're not expelled and you're coming back to Hogwarts with me!" I said happily, realizing something "MRS WEASLEY!?" I called out "ARE OUR HOGWARTS LETTERS HERE YET?" I asked.

"They just arrived, dear." Mrs Weasley said, holding up eight parchment envelopes, Ivy taking hers.

"Thanks, Mrs Weasley." I said, taking my letter and starting upstairs "NO ONE FOLLOW ME!" I said, rushing up to my room and slamming the door.

I ripped the letter open from the left side and something fell out immediately. Something heavier than a piece of parchment.

It was silver and green. It had a snake on it…with a letter "P" in the center of it.

I held it up to the light, checking to see if it wasn't a joke, that it was just paper or something.

It wasn't.

I dumped out the rest of my letter and shifted away the main letter and the booklist, finding a new letter I never saw before.

Dear Ms Potter,

Head of Slytherin House Severus Snape, Headmaster Professor Dumbledore and myself wish to extend our congratulations to you on being made the Slytherin girl prefect for the fifth year.

On September the first, kindly go to the front compartment of the Hogwarts Express, where you will meet your co-prefects and this years Head Boy and Girl, who will give you your patrol schedules for the train.

We shall see you on September the first,

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress.

"Skinner, Fanelli and Faksa." I said, taking the congratulatory letter and the main letter and comparing the signatures.

They were the same. Which meant, it wasn't some kind of joke played on my by the twins…I was really a…prefect. What I had wanted.

I screamed and started running down the stairs, screaming like the sky was falling.

"Well, Han's a prefect." Ivy said when I got to the final landing.

I stopped screaming long enough to look at Hermione "Mione…you…?" I asked hoarsely.

Mione nodded, showing me the red and gold badge with the "P" in the lion.

I screamed and ran down the stairs to hug Hermione, tackling her.

"Harry or Ron?" I asked. "Are they prefects?" "See for yourself." Mione said when I helped her up, nodding to Ron, who's ears were bright red.

"Oh, ickle Ronnie a prefect." Fred said. "Would you like us to kiss you, too?"

"We could curtsey if you like?" George chirped.

"Oh, shut up!" Ron snapped, turning to me "I guess that makes three of us who're prefects. Way to go, Hannah."

I beamed. "Does Mrs Weasley know?" I asked.

Someone came up behind me and hugged me "Yes, Hannah, and I'm so proud of you all!" Mrs Weasley said.

I beamed when Mrs Weasley let go and started upstairs "I can't wait to tell Draco!" I squealed, before pausing "No…wait…I'll surprise him on the train!"

Mrs Weasley smiled and took our booklists (I ran down with it in my hand, along with my congratulatory letter.) "Well, I'll go get your books this year." she said, walking out of the room.

Fred's gaze turned to the badge in my hand and he groaned.

"What?" I asked, shrugging.

"I can't believe my little sister is a Percy." Fred said, gagging.

"What?" I asked. "What's a Percy?"

"A prefect." George said, shaking his head "And we have a Slytherin Percy too. Our plans for Weasley Wizard Wheezes are doomed, Freddie."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I demanded, putting my hands on my hips, my badge hitting the light from the sunset.

Fred nodded "All Slytherin Prefects abuse their power."

"You'd better not, Han." Ivy said, coming over.

I smirked "I won't! I didn't turn evil like I promised in first year I wouldn't, didn't I?" I asked.

Ivy rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Got you there, didn't I?" I asked.

Ivy smirked "You can't say anything about second year, though." Ivy said.

I glared at her "Yeah, yeah, yeah, let it go. You stole my dagger, it brought out the evil side of me. Nobody touches my dagger."

"We will see when we get to Hogwarts, won't we?" Ivy asked, crossing her arms as Mrs Weasley called us into the dining room for dinner under a scarlet and gold sign that said:

CONGRATULATIONS, RON AND HERMIONE

NEW GRYFFINDOR PREFECTS!

And a silver and green sign under that that read:

AND TO HANNAH,

THE SLYTHERIN GIRL PREFECT!

I smirked as we walked into the dining room "Yes, Duff. Yes we will." I said.

A/N: Hannah a prefect! YAY! So...SYOFY time! (submit your own first year)
