(A/N) Flametongue: Sorry for the delay guys, I've had a lot to do lately. I mean, there's two fics that I try to update regularly, this being one of them, and I also have two other fics that I HAVE to update soon!
Anyways, I LOVE MY REVIEWERS!
Some of you have actually been able to guess right about my sin; I'm Lust. When I took the test, I was surprised that I didn't get Sloth as a result, but well, it's gotta be the fact that I DO care what people think about me.
Some of you seem to think that I'm American, because of my writing-style. And I must say that you're quite wrong; I'm mostly Swedish, but also part-Scottish. Imagine that, eh?
A little zebra pointed out something about the name of Greed, and asked why I didn't name him 'Avarice', well, basically because I got the idea of the fact that I got the idea of the names from an anime called Full Metal Alchemist. I was planning on naming the sins with the Latin names, but I changed my mind. I had another idea of using their names in Swedish, but I realized that 'Greed' is so much better for a name than 'Girighet'.
By the way, Synthea alalk, what's wrong with Harry/Tonks?
Chapter 03 – Enter an Ordinary day
Ginny rounded a corner just in time to see Warrington, the Slytherin Quidditch team's new captain, being lunged into a wall by an obviously angry Wrath.
Luna and Sloth caught up with Ginny, and they all noticed that Neville was there too, for some reason he was trying to calm Wrath down.
"No Harry, it's alright, yo-you don't have to-" Neville was cut off.
"'Alright' my –beep-!" Wrath exclaimed as he lifted Warrington up by the throat and pushed him against the wall. "Nobody insults my friends!"
Ron and Hermione just caught up with the others as Ron stared directly at Wrath beating Warrington's head against the wall. His dream had come true, a Slytherin Quidditch player getting his head smashed.
"Neville, are you alright?" Hermione panted as she noticed him standing there.
"Yeah, I…" Neville suddenly noticed Sloth standing next to Luna. He looked from Sloth to Wrath and back again, he repeated this movement before asking, "Why are there two of Harry?"
"Long story." Ginny said.
Luna sighed and walked up to Wrath and just as he pulled his arm back for a punch, Luna grabbed it and said, "Wrath, I have told you over and over that you should control your temper."
"Listen to her, Potter!" Warrington pleaded. "Listen to Loony!"
Wrath squeezed his hand around Warrington's throat. "What did you call her?" He hissed.
Warrington tried to gulp, but it's quite hard to gulp when you can't even breathe. "Isn't that her name?" He managed to ask, weakly.
That was the last drop, the very last drop that made Wrath lose control…I mean really lose control. He spun Warrington around and flung him into the opposite wall with such force that it actually cracked.
Everybody stared with wide eyes as Warrington's unconscious body fell to the floor.
Luna sighed and looked at Wrath with a scolding look on her face.
"What!" He snapped. "He called you Loony!"
"I am well aware of that." Luna said calmly. "But I usually don't care about what people call me."
"So you're saying you wouldn't mind even if people called you a little –beep-?" Wrath exclaimed.
Luna shrugged. "It depends who it is," She said. "I don't think I would mind you calling me your little –beep-."
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at Luna, shocked by her statement.
Wrath began hitting his head against the wall, clearly annoyed.
"In fact," Luna said, crossing her arms. "I believe you might be in need of a little spanking."
Wrath whirled around and glared at her. "I'd like to see you try." He challenged.
"I don't think it would be a problem," Luna said with a shrug. "Since you seem to be reluctant to hurt me."
"What makes you think that?" Wrath asked dangerously.
Luna raised her eyebrows. "You're welcome to show me if you can hurt me."
"Luna!" Ginny hissed, panic in her voice.
"It's alright," Luna said and turned to look at Ginny. "He won't hurt me," She turned back towards Wrath. "Will you?" She asked.
Wrath glared at her, his teeth showing. Luna had a look on her face that no one had ever seen her with before, it was a look that not even Wrath could resist, and it was…the puppy-dog eyes.
"GAH!" Wrath growled before turning back towards the wall and started hitting his head against it again. Luna smiled happily before giving him a firm spank on the butt.
Wrath growled even louder and backed away from the wall before running headfirst into it, as if he wanted to run straight through it; then again, nobody would be surprised if he succeeded.
Suddenly they heard voices coming from around the corner.
"No Michael, I told you; it's OVER!" yelled a voice.
"Hey! Get back here! I'm not done with you!" yelled another voice.
Suddenly Cho Chang came around the corner with her angry boyfriend Michael Corner right at her tail. Michael grabbed Cho by the arm and spun her around to face him.
"Look at me!" He shouted and shook her by the shoulders.
"Let go of me!" Cho demanded.
Wrath looked at the two of them for a second, and then he pulled out a piece of parchment from his pocket and scanned it with his eyes. He smirked and called out "Hey Cho!"
Cho and Michael looked at him.
"Step away from him, will you?" Wrath said.
"I'm not done talking with her!" Michael yelled at him.
Suddenly a Harry that looked very sly came around the corner; Greed. He grabbed Cho by the arm and led her over to where the others where standing. "Better do as he says." He said.
Michael and Cho stared at Greed with mouths open (I trust I don't have to explain why).
"You're lucky, Corner." Wrath said coolly and took out his wand. "You're on the list."
Michael's eyes widened in horror as Wrath lifted his wand and sent some kind of fireball at him, burning most of his clothes, and hair. The fire was short-lived though; when Corner hit the wall the only evidence of fire on him was his burned clothes.
"God dammit Wrath!" Greed exclaimed and tore his hair. "I can't sell his robes if they're burned!"
Wrath rolled his eyes as he walked over to Michael who was still lying on the floor, whimpering. "Just take Warrington's stuff!" Wrath called to Greed before he began kicking Michael in the gut. "He's right behind you!"
Greed whirled around and grinned as his eyes fell on Warrington. "Ah, great!" He exclaimed and proceeded to mug the unconscious Slytherin. "Warrington has always been a rich boy….hmmm nice watch." He said thoughtfully.
At this point, Cho snapped. "Alright, what's going on?" She asked, her head speeding back and forth from Harry to Harry. "Why is Harry beating up my ex-boyfriend? Why is he mugging Warrington? And why is he standing over there at the same time? Why is he standing at three different spots at the same time?" She was firing questions at 50 miles per hour.
"Cho, Cho calm down." Ginny soothed and walked up to Cho who kept babbling about hysterically. "CHO!" Ginny shouted and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Calm. Down." She said slowly as Cho nodded her head.
Hermione turned to Neville. "What happened earlier?" She asked.
Neville tore his eyes away from where Wrath was beating up Michael who was pleading for mercy. "Warrington said something about me being a weed nerd," Neville said, "when Harry heard that he began beating him up." He paused for a second, looking at the three Harry's that were currently present. "What exactly is going on?"
Ginny sighed. "Harry's been divided into seven different persons," She said. "All of them has a personality of a deadly sin."
Cho blinked. "How did that happen?"
And so they began their little tale about what Dumbledore told them about the eye of mischief, and how they had to round up all the sins and put them all in the same place so they could get them back into one person.
For a moment there was silence, but then Neville spoke up. "I'll help."
"Me too." Cho said at once. "After all, I owe Harry for beating up Michael just now." She smiled and turned around to look at the spot where Wrath was supposedly kicking Michael's arse, although the only thing she could see was her ex-boyfriend lying unconscious on the floor; Wrath was gone. "Where did he go?"
Ron turned around and looked at Michael. "Dammit, He's gone!"
"Huh?" Greed looked up from his position next to the now broke Warrington. "Aww, not again!" He groaned as he quickly got to his feet and ran around the corner shouting "Wrath! Wait up!"
Hermione groaned. "There they go again."
"Should we follow them?" Cho asked.
"What's the rush?" Said a voice.
Everybody whirled around to come face to face with Lust. He had a somewhat smug smile on his face.
Ginny crossed her arms. "Where is Tonks?" She asked.
"She's taking a nap." Lust said with a shrug. "She's pretty wild, so I guess she got a little worn out." His eyes suddenly fell on the limp shape of Michael Corner. "Is that Michael Corner?"
"Yeah," Cho said and looked over at her unconscious ex-boyfriend. "Serves him well, the groping git."
Lust gave her a charming smile. "I have to agree with you on that," He said. "He kept me from seeing you."
Cho blushed while Ginny and Hermione both rolled their eyes.
"You look very beautiful when you blush." Lust said as he brushed away a strand of hair that fell into Cho's face.
She smiled shyly and said "Thanks."
"If you two are done flirting," Ginny snapped. "let's head down to the kitchen!"
Lust grinned and raised his eyebrows at her. "Jealous?"
"As if!" Ginny spat.
"Let's go." Hermione said exasperatedly.
Ginny and Cho both grabbed a very smug-looking Lust by the arms as they all made their way down to the kitchen.
"What exactly are the….deadly sins?" Neville asked nervously after a while.
"The seven deadly sins are basically seven bad attitudes," Hermione said. "Sloth over there is the sin of apathy and indifference," She motioned towards Sloth who was lazily being dragged by Luna. ""Wrath is the sin of anger, Greed is the sin of…greed, Envy is the sin of jealousy, Pride is the sin of arrogance,"
"Gluttony is the hungry bloke, right?" Ron said as they reached the portrait hole leading to the kitchen, he proceeded with tickling the pear.
"And Lust is the horny bugger." Ginny muttered and looked around. "Where is he by the way?"
Everybody looked at her and then around the corridor; Lust was gone, and what's more, Cho was too.
"That horny bugger!" Ginny exclaimed.
Sloth raised and eyebrow. "You mean you didn't notice them leave?"
Ginny whirled around and stared at him. "You saw them?"
Sloth shrugged. Ginny groaned.
Hermione sighed. "We'll catch them later." She said before walking through the portrait hole into the kitchen, followed by Ron and Neville. Luna shrugged and dragged Sloth with her into the kitchen. Ginny groaned again before following them.
The kitchen was a funny sight; house elves were running around frantically with huge smiles on their faces, each of them carrying a trail of food.
In the middle of the kitchen, by one of the tables, sat four overweight Hufflepuffs, having an eating contest with the one and…not really only Harry Potter.
"Could we have some more apple pie here?" He called to the house elves that were running back and forth between the table and the ovens.
"At once, sir!" Exclaimed a very happy looking house elf.
"Gluttony, I assume?" Hermione asked as they all came up to the five contestants.
"Yup!" Gluttony responded through a mouthful of chicken. "Have a seat, I'm running out of competition!"
They all looked at the four Hufflepuffs; they looked like they were about to burst from all the food they had supposedly eaten.
"How the hell can you –burp- eat so much without getting full?" One of them demanded, glaring at Gluttony who just shrugged and kept eating.
Ginny frowned. "How much have you been eating?" She asked.
An elf answered as he put a plate of pies in front of Gluttony who happily dug in. "Mr. Gluttony has been here eating all night, Miss!"
Everybody's eyes went wide (excluding Luna and Sloth).
"How the bloody hell have you been able to keep eating without bursting!" Ron demanded.
Gluttony shrugged.
Sloth sighed. "Gluttony's special power is that he has somehow a bottomless stomach," He said. "he can eat how much he want, which is a lot, without getting full, or fat."
The four Hufflepuffs at the table looked at Sloth, then at Gluttony, then back at Sloth again, before their eyes darted back to Gluttony, and after that to Sloth, then they landed at Gluttony before they all passed out from both the shock, and their overfull stomachs.
Hermione looked at Sloth. "Special power?" She frowned. "Do you all have special powers?"
"Yup." Sloth said simply.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US EARLIER?" Hermione shrieked with a volume that was somewhat exaggerated.
Everybody checked their ears to make sure they were unharmed, except Sloth who just shrugged and said "No one asked."
Hermione closed her eyes as she breathed slowly, counting to ten, trying to calm herself. "What powers do you and the others have?"
Sloth sighed heavily; there were so many words he had to use. "Wrath has a somewhat inhuman strength, along with the knowledge of some very destructive spells." He said. "Lust has a very, very, very good stamina, considering he will have great use of it in his lustful antics."
Everybody wrinkled their noses in disgust, except Neville who just looked confused, and Luna who had blissful smile on her dreamy face after thinking about what Lust must use his stamina for.
"Pride has what you would call super-senses; his four senses are twenty times as strong as a normal human's, which gives him cat-like reflexes, almost dog-like sense of smell, he can find a single whispering voice out of a screaming crowd, taste something by just sticking his tongue out in the air-"
"Wait," Ginny interrupted with a nervous look on her face. "If he can hear that well, wouldn't he be able to hear what we talked to Dumbledore about?"
"Well, the thing about Pride is that he only listens for people talking about him, he turns a deaf ear towards everything else, unless they're talking to him."
Ginny sighed in relief.
"What about Greed?" Hermione asked. "What kind of power does he have?"
"He's an illusionist, he's using some sort of hypnosis to make you see things," Sloth said. "I'd advice you to not look him in the eyes. He also has a very high intelligence; he could master a spell within minutes when it would normally take years to learn it. Envy is the only one of us who doesn't have any powers, which gives him another reason to be jealous at the others."
"And you?" Hermione prodded.
Sloth shrugged. "I have quite the blessing, I don't feel pain, I don't get hungry, and I don't get tired."
Ron frowned. "How can you look so lazy and not be tired?"
Another shrug. "I just sleep for the sake of it; I usually don't have anything better to do."
"Well, anyways," Ginny said. "Come on Gluttony, we're going to McGonagall's classroom."
"Aww, but I'm not finished!" Gluttony whined.
Ginny gave him a threatening glare.
"Okay I'm coming!" He said quickly and scampered to his feet.
The house elves all had disappointed looks on their faces. Gluttony smiled at them. "Don't worry guys, I promise that when I get hungry, you'll be the first to know!"
The elves all smiled and bowed deeply.
Hermione rolled her eyes and grabbed Gluttony by the arm and dragged him out of the kitchen, the others hurrying along after them.
(A/N) Flametongue: Sorry if there are some errors, but I didn't have time to check the spelling more than once. Please review!
(A/N) thekecmaster: I hope the errors disappeared now. I don't own Harry Potter.
