Ch. 4
The first year Gryffindors were all gathered around Neville several days later all admiring the remebrall his grandmother had sent him that morning when Dean and the Weasley twins entered.
Sam who had seen enough of the thing waved happily at his brother while munching on some toast.
"Is that all you're going to eat," Dean questioned.
Sam shrugged. Dean sighed and scooped out a small helping of scrambled eggs and put it onto Sam's plate. "Just humor me kid," Dean requested when Sam sent him a dirty look.
Sam didn't say anything while he ate the eggs, "Can you hand me a Banana Dean." Surprised that his little brother was actually asking for more food Dean happily handed over the fruit.
"So what's on the agenda today Runt," Dean asked using the nickname that the twins had set aside for his younger brother.
"Flying," Sam replied happily.
Dean paled slightly remember what a disaster his first flying lesson had been. "Just be careful alright."
"You know I will be."
"So who do you have it with?"
"Slytherin."
"What? No, no, no, not going to happen. Flying his hard enough without those idiots there making it worse."
"Dean, they don't really bother me that much. You know I stay out of their way, they stay out of mine."
"Oh really is that why I found you being pushed around by those two big guys from your year?"
"It wasn't a big deal," Sam said with a blush.
Dean bit back any comment that he wanted to make about the two overly big idiots.
"Hey guys what's going on," Harry asked joining them with Ron by his side.
"Dean is freaking about Sam having flying lessons," Fred informed the two.
"No he's freaking about Sam having flying lessons with Slytherins," George corrected.
Sam chuckled. He was really beginning to like Dean's friends.
"Relax mate," Ron told Dean. "Harry and I'll be there to make sure nothing happens."
"No offense Ron but that doesn't make me feel better."
"Don't worry. Ron's flown before. He'll be able to watch out for Sam," Fred reassured.
"If you say so."
Later at dinner Dean immediately saw his little brother at the end of the table actually eating again. "Hey Runt, how'd flying lessons go?"
"Well I did pretty good after we actually started the lesson. I got to tell you, I love flying. It's the most fun I've ever had."
"Okay then freak. So what do you mean after you actually got started?"
"Well Neville fell off his broom and broke his wrist. Then Malfoy found his Remembrall that his grandmother had sent him and was going to throw it onto the roof. He took off and Harry took off right after him. Then Malfoy threw the Remembrall and Harry caught it right before it hit the ground. Unfortunately Professor McGonagall saw and I haven't seen Harry since. I think that he might be expelled."
"Not to fear my young friend," George said dramatically taking his seat. "Young Harry is in fact right behind you."
Sam turned around and jumped up to give his friend a hug. "I'm so glad that you're not expelled."
Harry laughed at his friend's enthusiastic greeting. "It's better than that. I'm the new seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team."
"What's a seeker?"
Ron, Fred and George looked insulted. "You mean you don't know what Quidditch is? Dean have you taught him nothing about our world," Fred practically yelled.
"Hey I tried to tell the kid about it. He didn't seem interested. I guess he'll have to watch it to experience the awesomeness that is Quidditch."
"Wait a second I thought that first years weren't allowed to play Quidditch," Ron pointed out.
"They're not. They made an exception and I'll be the youngest seeker in over a century."
"That's so cool."
"Well we'll see you lot later, come on Dean, Lee thinks he's found a new secret passageway out of the school," George said.
"It's probably the one behind the statue of Gregory the Smarmy that we found our first week," Fred said as he and George lead Dean towards the exit.
Soon after the older boys had left Malfoy showed up. "Having your last meal Potter? When are you getting on the train back to the muggles?"
"Wow you're a lot braver now that you have your muscle to back you up," Harry commented.
"I could take you anytime anywhere on my own," Malfoy growled.
"Bring it on," Ron said for his friend.
"Fine then, I challenge Harry to a Wizards Duel."
"Fine, I'll be his second," Ron accepted the challenge for his friend.
"Crabbe will be mine. See you at Midnight tonight in the trophy room. Winchester can be the referee. He's too spineless to actually try to cheat."
"Hey Ron what's a wizard's duel and what is a second," Harry questioned.
"Well, a second is there to take over if you die. But people only die in the real duels. You and Malfoy don't know enough about magic to do any actual damage."
"Excuse me."
The three boys looked up to see Hermione Granger. Sam waved happily; he and Hermione had gotten along fairly well and actually would study together sometimes. Ron growled in annoyance at the girl's presence.
"I couldn't help but overhear what you were saying and you can't do that. If you get caught in the out in the school at night you'll be in trouble and then Gryffindor will lose a lot of points."
"I don't think that it's any of your business," Harry told the girl.
"Sam please don't tell me that you are going to go along with this madness," she turned to her friend in the group.
"I might," he responded.
"Oh come on Sam don't let them force you to do anything."
It was Harry's turn to growl in annoyance. "We're not forcing him to do anything. If he doesn't want to join us that's fine, it's his choice." Hermione just glared at Harry before turning around and storming out of the great Hall.
Later that night when Ron mumbled, "we'd better go now," Harry was more than just a little nervous. Here he was with barely any knowledge of magic going up against someone who had spent their entire life knowing about it.
Harry and Ron were slightly surprised when they met Sam at the bottom of the stairs. "I want to go and support Harry," he told the other two boys. That made Harry smile and feel slightly better.
When they got into the common room Hermione Granger was sitting in a chair at the far end of the room glaring at the three boys. "I can't believe your actually going through with this Harry."
"Whatever, just go back to be Hermione," he responded. "Let's go guys." The three boys climbed out of the common room with Hermione right behind them.
"Sam I expected you to be able to think for yourself. Think about what Dean's going to say when he finds out that you were out past curfew."
"I do think for myself and besides Dean would be proud of me."
"He'd be proud that you were sneaking out to go fight another student?"
"Well I'm not the one fighting. I'm just going to be the ref. But if I were fighting with another student he would probably give me a present."
"Go away Hermione," Ron said losing his patience.
"Fine." She turned around to see that the Fat Lady was gone. "I hope you're all happy. Now I'm locked out, and I'm going with you so that when you're found I can blame it all on you three."
"Shut up I hear something," Harry said.
It was Neville; poor boy had forgotten the password when he got back from the hospital wing.
After explaining that Neville wouldn't be able to get into the common room even if he tried right now the other boy decided to join the others.
"How's your arm," Sam asked quietly.
"Oh it's fine, Madam Pomfrey was able to mend it in no time."
"That good."
"Will you two please be quiet," Ron hissed not wanting to get caught.
When they arrived at the trophy room Malfoy and Crabbe weren't there yet. They waited for fifteen minutes before Ron claimed that Malfoy got scared and decided not to show. That's when they heard the voice of Filch speaking to his cat, Mrs. Norris.
"This way," Harry mouthed to the others. And the all started to creep down the hallway. Filch was getting closer, they could all hear it. Neville let out a frightened squeak and started running, but he tripped and fell right into a suit of armor.
"RUN," Harry cried out over the clanging armor. The five students took off at a run not really knowing where to go. Harry darted into what he thought an empty classroom only to find Peeves the poltergeist. "Oh what do we have here some naughty firsties out for a midnight walk. You should be more careful. You wouldn't want to get caught." He gave an evil smirk before drawing in a deep breath.
"Peeves if you tell Filch where we are I swear I'm going to find your bones and salt and burn them."
Everyone turned in shock to look at Sam. "Yeah right you wouldn't do that," Peeves said with a slightly worried look on his face.
"I've done it before with my Dad." It wasn't a total lie. He waited in the car while his dad did the actual burning though.
"Well you better get going because he's headed this way," Peeves advised.
The students filed out of the room and soon came across a door that looked abandoned. Hearing Filch getting closer Hermione opened the door with an Alohomora spell.
Listening carefully Harry was able to hear the man move away from the door. "Okay guys I think the coast is clear," getting a nod from Hermione and Ron he turned around to look for the other two boys. When he looked up he saw a monstrous three headed dog growling at the two other boys. Harry threw the door open, Ron and Hermione crumbled into the hallway followed closely by Neville. Harry grabbed Sam, who seemed to be frozen, by the sleeve and all of them took off at a run and didn't stop until they were finally in the Gryffindor common room.
It was then that Harry finally let go of Sam's sleeve. "What do they think they're doing, keeping a thing like that locked up in a school," Ron exclaimed.
"Don't you use your eyes," Hermione snapped.
"What do you mean," Harry asked.
"It was standing on a trap door," Sam said still trying to get his breath back.
Hermione didn't allow the others to process this information before going off on the boys. "Well I hope you are all pleased with yourselves. We could have all been killed- or worse expelled. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to bed."
"You'd think we forced her to go or something," Sam commented dryly finally catching his breath.
When they finally started up the stairs towards their room Harry asked Sam, "So what do you think Dean will say when he finds out about this little adventure?"
Sam paled for a second before stating, "Let's just keep this our little secret, for now."
I know that Sam seems a little OOC but this is an AU for Supernatural. I plan on doing all the Harry Potter books with Sam slowly becoming the guy that we all know and love. Oh and Dean will eventually let Sam have some room to grow.
