Chapter Eight; Draco Malfoy
Sorry that I didn't update very much yesterday, I was pretty busy. So here's the next chapter, and I hope you enjoy it! Once again, thanks for all the feedback!
Harry and Ron couldn't remember what time that they had finally fallen asleep. They had been so full of wizardcorn (which resembled popcorn but was different colors, and it took them one whole week just to finish one piece since it was rather large) and butterbeer, that made them extra rambunctious. Lily had to constantly remind them to settle down (they had had a pillow fight that caused feathers to scatter around the room) so that they wouldn't wake Tobey up, who was sound asleep inside his crib.
Of course Lily knew that they didn't mean to behave so wildly. After all, even though Harry had always been extremely smart for his age ever since he started nursery school, in the end, he was still a little boy, and he was just laughing and playing like all children do, and so was Ron. Although Ron was a little unruly from time to time, he was still a very nice little boy, and he shared Harry's love for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies.
Lily smiled as she entered the living room just about ready to say goodnight to the boys, but then realized that both of them were now passed out in front of the television, (Ron snored heavily) safely snug inside their sleeping bags. She quickly and quietly turned off the television before turning off the light and headed back into her own bedroom to go to bed. The next morning Harry woke up to Cowboy licking his face as he stood over his master wagging his tail eagerly.
"Eww! Yuck! Doggie drool!" Harry exclaimed as he wiped his face with the black of his sleeve and slowly sat up. He rubbed his eyes and sniffed the air.
"Hey Harry, I was wondering when you were going to get up." Ron said as Harry opened his eyes and realized that his friend was already wide awake and sitting at the breakfast table with a stack of flapjacks in front of him. "Your mum really is the best! Pumpkin juice, chocolate chip pancakes, and maple syrup, what more could a guy ask for?" he questioned before he poured his syrup on top of the pile and started cutting into them and began to eat.
Harry grinned before he slowly got to his feet. "I dunno," he began. "I smell bacon." He said as he walked down the hallway and headed for the bathroom while Tobey picked up his sippy cup (that was full of orange juice) and threw it at Ron's head before starting to squeal with laughter and giggles.
"Ouch!" Ron yelled before he started to rub it and tears welled up in his eyes. "That hurt,.." he said shakily through a lump in his throat while Tobey continued to squeal and clap his hands. "Mrs. Snape, Tobey hit me!" he cried while starting to blink his tears away as Lily gave out a rather large gasp.
"Tobias Elliot Snape!" she scolded before she hurried over to the highchair and grabbed him smacking him from the behind. Tobey started to wail as tears started rolling down his own cheeks. "You have to learn not to throw things at people and keep your hands to yourself!" she scolded while he continued sobbing hysterically before she took a deep breath and sighed heavily. "I'm sorry Ron, he doesn't know any better.
I know that he's just a baby, but I still have got to teach him right from wrong. I went through the same thing when Harry was a baby." She explained when all of a sudden the toilet flushed and a few moments later Harry came out of the bathroom.
"What happened?" he wondered while Tobey continued to cry.
"Not much, except for the fact that your brother's being a bad little boy again." His mother told him. "Could you please watch him for me while I finish making breakfast?" she asked him as Harry nodded with agreement and after that things went much smoother. Once Tobey finally calmed down, it was time for his nap, which meant that Harry and Ron had a little bit extra time to play together before Mrs. Weasley picked him up and took him home back through the fireplace.
Harry couldn't wait until he would see him again on Monday. He enjoyed the rest of his weekend, but he also really loved charm school, and his teacher, and his new classmates. Which Harry found that he grew to have more and more friends who wanted to play with him at recess. The following week they started learning about the difference between a wizard and a warlock, and Professor Snyder announced that they would be going on their first fieldtrip to a muggle theater where they would be seeing a real live magic show.
Harry couldn't wait, especially since it would be done by his favorite magician David Copperfield. He loved charm school so much that he didn't think that nothing would ever change his mind to think about it otherwise. That is, until one day at lunch. Harry and Ron were sitting together talking and laughing as usual, when suddenly a new kid that neither of them had ever seen before walked over to their table with a very sly grin upon his face.
"Hullo Potter, we meet again." He said as Harry narrowed his eyebrows and glared at him.
"First of all the last name is Snape." He began. "And second of all, what do you mean that we meet again? I've never seen you before in my life." He finished.
"Sure you have, don't you remember last year at Disneyworld?" the boy asked him when all of a sudden it occurred to Harry where he had seen him before.
"Wait a minute," he began. "blonde hair." He realized. "You were that kid who was waiting for the bus with me and my parents at the bus stop!" he exclaimed.
"That's right. I was being homeschooled for the longest time, but then my mother, God bless her soul decided that I needed some friends my own age. That's how I met Crabbe and Goyle." He explained.
"Who?" Ron questioned when suddenly the boy's grin vanished as he quickly turned to look back at him.
"I wasn't talking to you." He muttered under his breath before he looked back over at Harry. "I can't believe somebody like the great Harry Potter is hanging out with a penniless simpleton such as this." He said as Ron sadly hung his head and started to turn his head away from him. That had done it, Harry's anger had now reached its boiling point. That's when all of a sudden he leapt out of his seat and tackled him to the ground.
Ron gave out a loud and astonished gasp while he scooted to the edge of his seat and peered over the table gaping his mouth wide open at him. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" The whole room was practically chanting now as a crowd of students gathered around them.
"What in the name of Albus Dumbledore is going on in here!?" Professor Perry exclaimed while he entered the room and started pushing his way past the chanting and screaming students.
"Say that again!" Harry screamed at the boy in which he had just given him a bloody nose and now had his hand raised up into the air above him. "I dare you!" he hollered as the boy burst into tears and Professor Perry gasped while placing his hand on top of his chest.
"Mr. Snape!" he scolded as Harry suddenly glanced up at him with a very worried and nervous expression on his face. "What is this foolishness!?" he exclaimed as Ron suddenly got to his feet.
"Please sir, don't get mad at Harry. This kid insulted me, he was only trying to stand up for me!" he cried.
"Silence!" Perry snapped. "I don't care what Mr. Malfoy has done. Mr. Snape, you're perfectly aware that violence is not the answer. I'm afraid I will have to make you stay after school today for a detention, and I will have to inform your parents about this immediately!" he exclaimed. "And as for you Mr. Malfoy, you better get yourself to the urgent care facility right away. Hopefully this will teach you not to bully any of your fellow classmates from now on." He said before he quickly hurried out of the room.
