Authors Note: In this story, Halloween (which will be in a few chapters) will turn out MUCH different, with no troll attack, for many reasons. One, Hermione is much more confident than Canon!Hermione was, and two, Ickle Ronniekins won't dare mess with any of Harry's friends, all of whom certainly will not be leaving his side at any time. You will just have to wait and see! It's good to be back on FanFiction!
Chapter Seven: The First Ever Movie Club Meeting
Harry Flitwick stuck his tongue out at Potions Master Severus Snape, whose back was currently turned toward him, as he stirred the cauldron twice counterclockwise. It was Friday's potions class, and Harry just couldn't wait for the day to be over already so he could finish the preparations for tonight's movie club meeting. He was so excited!
Finally the bell rang. After bottling up his Swelling Solution, (placing an Unbreakable Charm on it of course) he brought it to Snape, and then gathered his stuff, endeavoring to leave the room as fast as he could.
~~~And now for a Time Skip brought to you by America's favorite fighting Frenchman!~~~
At long last, it was six o'clock, and Harry was currently in the Great Hall, waiting for the others to arrive. All the house tables had been removed, and in their place were numerous couches, chairs, and sleeping bags of many different varieties. There was a snack buffet along one corner, and on one wall there was a magnificent looking television. Harry was itching to get started.
Slowly but surely, the steady sea of students trickled in one by one and a little while later, they all had arrived, sitting down in various locations. Once they were all there, Harry got up and spoke his first words of welcome:
"Right then. Now, let's call attendance so that we can make sure that everyone who signed up is here."
After going through the attendance, Harry began to speak once more. "Right then. Now, I trust that if you came tonight, you have a basic understanding of what a movie is?" There were nods, and some muggleborns gave thumbs up. "Excellent. I am pleased to announce that today's movie of choice is… THE LION KING!"
All the muggleborns who were Disney fans let out a whoop.
"I am not going to tell you what the plot is, seeing as I don't want to give anything away, but let's get started! If you don't feel yourself wanting to watch a certain part of the movie, we have coloring over there, and a reading corner in that area close to where the end of the Slytherin table would be. Now, please sit back, relax, and enjoy one of my personal favorite movies of all time."
At the end of his speech, everyone applauded as he made his way over to the DVD and projector, turning it on.
The Disney logo appeared on the screen, and the movie started.
The purebloods were transfixed, struck into an awed silence, while the Half-Bloods and Muggleborns who had seen the movie before were singing along with many of the songs. Loudly. Some of the muggleborns even reenacted some of the scenes alongside the characters on the screen.
The next morning, the Club members woke up in the Great Hall, happy and content.
Harry couldn't have been happier.
~And now for a Time Skip brought to you by George "I LIKE WAFFLES!" Washington.~
Harry, Hermione, Anthony, and Filius all were congregating in Minerva's office, talking about the movie club meeting last night, which had been a big success. Well, actually, they were debating what movie they wanted to do next time.
"I think we should do Peter Pan!" Hermione exclaimed, clapping her hands together. Harry started nodding furiously, grinning at the idea.
"I second that!" Harry said, high-fiving Hermione while Minerva and Filius looked on in amusement.
"So it is unanimous. The movie next week shall be… Peter Pan!" Filius cheered. "Right then. Now that that is out of the way, let us go to bed!
"Move to adjourn! This session of 'Congress' is now closed!" Minerva chimed in jokingly.
"Ha, ha Minnie. Very Funny." Harry drawled as he made his way upstairs to Ravenclaw Tower, with Hermione in tow.
~Another Time Skip Is Here! WOOT WOOT!~
Meanwhile, in General Washington's Camp, c. 200 years in the past.
Washington smiled, and picked up the pencil, planning on adding the last few finishing touches to the drawing he had been working on for the last two hours. What was taking him so long with this drawing, you may ask? Well, this was no ordinary drawing. This drawing he was going to send to his One True Heir, who existed at least two hundred years in the future.
The drawing he was currently working on was truly a work of art. The drawing showed Harry and six others, all of them dressed in incredibly formal attire, standing in a circular room of a place he knew would be called the White House, with the great American flag flying in the background. General Washington put the finishing touch on the drawing with a flourish, and folded up the parchment six times. He placed it in the palm of his hand, and tapped that hand three times.
The paper disappeared, travelling through the strands of time.
"Be safe, my heir. May your Presidency be a fruitful one, filled with joy and happiness."
END OF CHAPTER
Author's Note: Hey guys! I'M BAAAAAACK! I am currently on a cruise ship (The Oasis of the Seas) right now, using the paid internet service to type this up. So, IK that this was a filler chapter, but I couldn't think of anything else to write. If you have any questions, those will be answered in the next chapter, which will be a Q&A session with the author (me), so don't be afraid to leave a question in a review or Private Message! Oh, and I don't own anything. Only the plot and my OC's belong to me.
