Such is life; mere boredom for all as they try to find out the true meaning of Life and run from Death for all they're worth. Why don't people ever think that Death might be just a way to eternal and peaceful rest for many world-weary souls? Once one has experienced the horrors of destruction, one can not help but wish for the eternal sleep.

Chapter Eleven

Harry walked calmly to the kitchens after his morning workout instead of deciding to go to the Great Hall today. Today was the day the paper would be coming out with a very revealing article along with some very important letters from Gringotts. He didn't want a confrontation in the Great Hall in front of so many witnesses, especially when some were teachers.

Harry tickled the pear and turned the handle. When he put just stepped into the kitchen, he was immediately tackled at the knees by a very hyper House elf. "Hi to you too Dobby," greeted Harry with an amused smile as Dobby let go and started to jump on the spot. "What is yous wanting Harry Potter sir?" asked Dobby enthusiastically as Harry hummed.

"Can you make me some steamed prawn Dim Sims, a plate of fried rice, some barbequed pork and a bowl of miso soup please?" asked Harry with a smile as the House elves looked at him in confusion. "What is these foods Mister Harry Potter sir?" asked one the House elves in a polite yet squeaky voice. "And hows do we cooks them?"

Harry scratched the side of his head when he remembered that English House elves don't know how to cook Eastern foods. Then he remembered the recipes that he collected on his travels with D in the petshop. "Here," said Harry as he waved his wand and a neat stack of papers appeared in front of them. "Some recipes that I thought you could use." When silence met his statement, Harry looked at the House elves and was a bit stunned to see them staring at him as if he had given them the Holy Grail of Kitchens.

"Umm…are you all alright?" asked Harry cautiously before they all ran for the recipes. Harry and Kai watched the terror that is rapid House elves when receiving new recipes, stunned. Harry blinked when he saw Winky hit other House elves with a frying pan and spatula. "Those is mine!" she screeched as other House elves shouted their own claims. "Those is mine!"

"Errr…I can copy those y'know," said Harry as the House elves all froze and looked at him pleadingly with big puppy eyes. "Can yous do that fors us sir?" they all chorused as Harry took a small step back. "Uhh…sure. Just please don't fight over recipes in front of me ever again." they all nodded happily as Harry waved his wand and many copies of the recipes went to the ecstatic House elves who put them away reverently as some used them to make his breakfast. "Crazy House elves," muttered Kai as Harry nodded in agreement. Harry then sat down as the House elves brought his breakfast to him.

As Harry ate his breakfast happily, chaos reigned in the Great Hall as Granger and Weasley were bombed by hundreds upon thousands of Howlers sent by enraged wizards and witches all over the world. The article that had incensed them so was open on the Gryffindor table, its front page in full view of the world with a big bold headline. FRIEND OR FOE? Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley spied on their 'friend' the Boy-Who-Lived for money and riches.

And if that wasn't enough to ruin their day, they both received letters from Gringotts stating that they were now in debt to Harry and any non-liquid assets would be immediately repossessed. If they could not pay him or they still owed him, then all their possessions would be taken as compensation. Needless to say, it was going to be a very bad day for them both.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Harry waited outside his Potions classroom patiently as he munched on a paper covered sponge cup cake. "Ding dong the witch is dead," sang Harry boredly as he looked around. "Which old witch? The wicked witch./ Ding dong the wicked witch is dead."

"Potter, you have finally cracked," said a voice blankly and dryly. Harry turned his head to see Blaise Zabini staring at him with a raised eyebrow. "You just noticed this now?" retorted Harry as Blaise's lips twitched. "And I didn't 'finally crack' as you so eloquently put it. I was just bored." Blaise snorted as Harry smirked slightly.

They spent the rest of their time waiting for their fellow students in companionable silence until the bell rang. Harry hummed another song as he prepared himself for the inevitable confrontation that would no doubt happen. Blaise looked at Harry strangely as he hummed Waltzing Matilda in his boredom. He had just gotten to 'and he sang as he watched and waited for his billy to boil' when he heard the enraged voice of Ronald Weasley.

Looking up with an innocent and curious expression, Harry was greeted with the vision of a strangely beet root red Weasley and bright tomato red Granger. Weasley stomped towards Harry as Kai poked his nose out. "POTTER!" roared Weasley as the other members of their Potions class came, hoping to see the confrontation. "Weasley, Granger," said Harry with a hint of amusement. "Why do you two look like vegetables? Trying to make a human salad?"

Weasley spluttered as Granger looked at him scandalised and the others muffled snickers, chuckles and giggles of laughter. Then, Granger went up to him and shoved the Gringotts letter in his face. "What is this about?" she screeched as Harry tilted his head and took the letter in between his index finger and thumb. He studied it for a moment before staring at her with a blank face.

"It's called a letter smart arse," said Harry blankly and slowly as if talking to one with a slow, near non-existent mental capacity. "You read it since it is from either important people or stupid annoying people or people who owe someone a lot of money, okay?" Granger's eye twitched as she fumed; slowly turning a more cherry red instead of bright tomato red.

The Slytherins roared with laughter at that as the other houses stared at them before laughing along with them. Weasley's ears turned a bright maroon red as Granger went a deeper cherry red in their embarrassment. Harry tilted his head with an innocent smile as Weasley growled before lunging for him. Many gasped as Harry stayed put; Weasley getting closer, before taking a step to the right. Weasley flew past him and personally met the door as many winced at the 'crunch' of a bone being broken.

Weasley fell to the floor; clutching his bloodied, broken nose as Harry watched on passively. Granger gasped in horror before pushing past Harry and straight towards the moaning Weasley. Harry blinked and tilted his head. "You really should learn how to aim better Weasley," scolded Harry mockingly. "Otherwise you'll be breaking that nose of yours plenty more times and possibly lose more brain cells in the process."

Granger shot him a scathing glare which had no effect as Harry smiled innocently again. Many Slytherins were laughing silently now as they tried to catch their breaths. Granger scowled, whipped out her wand and aimed it as a voice called out. "Granger!" snapped Snape as he came sweeping towards them. "What in Merlin's name do you think you are doing?!"

"Potter attacked Ron for no reason!" exclaimed Granger, trying to use Snape's hatred against Harry in her favour. Snape raised an eyebrow at her before turning to Harry. Harry shook his head. "I didn't do a thing," said Harry calmly as he clasped his hands behind his back. "All I did was move out of Weasley's path and he slammed his own head into the door. I never expected him to be a masochist."

Snape raised an eyebrow at that comment before sweeping into the lab. He brushed past the gaping figure of Granger before stopping and turning. "Miss Granger, take Mr Weasley to the hospital wing," said Snape silkily. "Oh. And ten points off Gryffindor for attempting to attack a fellow student."

The whole class gaped at him except Harry, who trailed in after the Potions Master with an amused smile and hummed again, this time, the Star Wars theme song.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Weasley scowled as Madame Pomfrey fussed over him; poking and prodding him with her wand. "Next time Mr Weasley," said Madame Pomfrey sternly. "Do not pick fights before class. You may miss some important lessons this way." Weasley nodded sullenly as Granger scowled from her spot across him.

Once Madame Pomfrey declared him fit enough to leave, the two left quickly to potions with a note from Madame Pomfrey in Granger's hand. "What do we do about Potter?" asked Weasley to Granger who was thinking furiously.

"Nothing," replied Granger primly. "We do our job and once he's dead, we'll be able to get the rest of his stuff. The Headmaster is the head of the Wizenmagot and as such, he'll be able to get the Ministry to give us some of his stuff."

Weasley nodded in agreement as they both went the rest of the way to the Potions lab in silence until Weasley got a sly glint in his eye and soon dragged Granger into an unused classroom which he shut tightly. When they came back out again, they were all ruffled and red. They never noticed that half their lesson had already passed when they came into the room after cleaning themselves up.

As a result, they lost twenty points for truancy and a public scathing in front of the classroom. They sat down in their seats with red faces when they caught the eye of Harry who smiled at them with amusement written clearly on his face before going back to his potion which was a perfect sky blue colour.

Seething, Granger and Weasley got to work as fast as they could to catch up but it was futile since their potions were only at the third stage when the bell rang; giving them a zero for their work. Needless to say, Granger ran out of the room with an upset face as Weasley ran after her to both calm her down and get away from the mocking laughter of the Slytherins.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Harry sighed happily as he stretched lazily by the lake during lunch. He had paid another visit to the kitchens where the house elves were all too happy to make him something different since they got to use their new recipe books. After taking the basket from them with thankful grin, Harry had went of for the lakeside to get some peace and to avoid the prank that was about to be unleashed.

This particular prank had included one of the twins' newest inventions which wouldn't be sold to the public. It was a unique powder which had to be dissolved in water before it could work. It was also tasteless and odourless which was a bonus. Harry had placed a large sprinkler system in the hall from the doorway to the back of the head table and spelled in invisible and to only work when the hall was about to empty for the next classes.

Harry grinned to himself as he looked around and saw some students scattered all over the grounds. 'Now if Dumbledore pins the blame on me,' thought Harry as he leaned back onto the tree behind him. 'He won't be able to prove it since I'm not the only one not affected by the prank. Such fun this'll be.' With a happy sigh, Harry took out a coconut cream bun and bit into it as he waited for the chaos to begin.

Inside the Great Hall, Snape and Remus felt a chill go down their spine and looked around discreetly. They noticed that Harry wasn't there in the Hall and took it as a cue to get out. Noticing that Snape was about to hall, Remus waited five minutes after Snape had walked out of the side door before following him.

After another ten minutes in the hall, the students all got up to go to class as did the teachers when the sprinklers went off. Many wizard-reared witches and wizards panicked as the muggle-raised witches and wizards just looked up to the ceiling in confusion while some just laughed and started to fill empty goblets to throw on their friends. Not knowing that the more water they get soaked with, the longer they stayed in their new form.

After a five minute shower, the teachers all explained that it was only just a muggle water system that was used in fires and that it had somehow been installed in the Great Hall. After finally calming down the frantic students, they all headed for their classes and when they all went through the hall doors, they all heard a strange 'pop' noise.

With a feeling of dread, they all looked down and many screamed or shouted in disbelief. They all had animal ears, tails or fangs and wore clothing from two or three centuries ago from different countries. Granger ended up being a beaver in a Renaissance styled dress while Weasley was, ironically, a weasel in a bright red yukata.

Many others had appeared as deer, wolves, dogs, cats, tigers, birds, snakes; there was a variety of clothing and various body parts that had been changed. Some looked back to the head table and cracked up laughing when they saw that the teachers had also changed. Sprout had turned into a hummingbird and had little azure blue wings on her back along with some feathers in her hair and she was dressed in an azure blue dress. Hooch also had wings but they looked more like a falcon's and she also had some feathers in her hair and she wore a musician's tunic and leggings from the eighteen hundreds and had a lute on her back.

McGonagall had turned into a feline type creature, most likely a lioness, with a bushy tipped tail and golden brown ears and now wore an African styled dress and her hair was tied up in a braid. Dumbledore had turned into a white rabbit with long white ears, whiskers and a fluffy white cotton tail in a tartan vest and grey slacks. Many laughed as they were reminded of the White Rabbit from 'Alice in Wonderland'.

Many ended up laughing as they went on their way to class and they brought more laughter as the people that were outside at the time came back in for class and cracked up at the new look of their friends and house mates. Harry couldn't help but crack up at the sight that Weasley, Granger and Dumbledore made from the potion as they all scowled.

Harry was still chuckling when he was walking to his Transfiguration class where McGonagall was pacing back and forth in her new look causing Harry to erupt into another set of chuckles that McGonagall heard if the twitch of her ears were any indication. She gave him a stern look before he quickly sat down and waited for the rest of the class to come in as he hummed another song and looked out of the window. 'I wonder how long til the Final Battle comes?' thought Harry in amusement as he turned to look at the array of half-human, half- animal students come in. 'Cause I am getting really, really bored here.'

/You and me both Dark,/ muttered Kai from where he slept as he flicked out his forked tongue in boredom. /You and me both./
