A/N: Another chapter for you guys, was a little behind on some of the later chapter so chose not to post on the Wednesday and wait till the weekend.
please feel free to leave a review, it really motivates me to keep writing and helps me improve my work.
Enjoy!!
*
By the time Harry had finished his week of evening detentions in ProfessorUmbridge's office, his hand had permanent scratches that read I won't tell lies. They made him want to itch his hand and Harry knew they would scar eventually.
Writing became more difficult for Harry, but he made sure to hide his struggles. He had been trough alot worse and he wasn't about to let a few scratches on the back of his right hand affect him that much.
Eventually he had been able to attend quidditch practice, a new decree had been put out stating that all clubs and groups must be verified and approved by Professor Umbridge before they could form.
"This includes clubs that have already formed Harry," said Angelina, distressedly. "This includes the quidditch team."
Harry made sure not to annoy Umbridge for that week, the foul woman had tried to prevent the team from forming but Professor McGonagall went straight to Dumbledore and he along with most of the professors agreed that the Gryffindor quidditch team should be allowed to carry on as normal.
Ginny had impressed the main starting seven players on the team and Harry pointed out that his girlfriend would be a perfect super substitute for the three chasers and a perfect replacement for one of the two seventh year chasers.
"Are you saying that because she's amazing at quidditch?" Said Alicia Spinnet with a smirk. "Or is it just because she's your girlfriend?"
Harry chuckled. "Both to be honest."
Harry and Ginny had snuck for some snogging time. They kissed passionately in one of the classrooms on the seventh floor.
Harry was busy fumbling with the hem of Ginny's shirt when unfortunately for the young couple, Ron and Hermione stumbled upon them whilst on their prefect rounds.
A stammering Harry and a Ginny that resembled a tomato had put the clothes they had discarded back on and returned to the common room quietly, a little disappointed that things needed that quickly and that they wouldn't get to share a bed either.
"I promise that tomorrow night we will be together." Said Ginny as she kissed Harry chastely on the lips before heading on up to her dorm.
Harry headed on up to the fifth year dormitory, thinking of Ginny's promise.
*
Harry made his way to the Quidditch pitch, his firebolt rested over his shoulder. Their first match of the year was against Slytherin and Harry was nervous, it was Ron's first match on the team and no doubt malfoy and his cronies, along with some of the other slytherins would be finding ways to taunt Ron.
And he was right, as the two teams got ready to fly out Harry clapped his best mate on the shoulder. "Just focus on your game Ron, we know that you are really good."
Ron nodded and Harry hoped that he would have a good game, they were the better side.
"WELCOME TO THE FIRST MATCH OF THE YEAR!!" Lee's voice boomed across the pitch as the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams rushed out. "ANGELINA JOHNSON WILL BE HOPING THAT HER TEAM WILL GET ITS FIRST WIN WITH HER AS GRYFFINDOR CAPTAIN."
Lee Jordan read out the names of each of the players, as Angelina and Marcus flint both shook hands.
"Girls can't play quidditch." Flint spat at her.
"We'll see about that after we kick your arse." Said Angelina glaring at him.
Flint grinned at her before Madam hooch blew the whistle and Angelina grabbed the quaffle first and sent off a pass to Katie Bell before shooting forward into an attacking position.
Harry immediately began searching for the snitch, half an eye looking behind him as he saw Draco pull up behind him, clearly the snarky Slytherin had no chance of finding it on his own and was relying on Harry, despite Harry owning the faster broom.
The Gryffindor stand cheered as they scored first, Alicia spinnet had raced forward to catch a through pass and had thrown the quaffle towards the far hoop, beating the Slytherin keeper.
It was good that Gryffindor had scored first Harry had thought before he raced around the pitch to try and get a different view of the pitch, he winced as one of the Slytherin chasers shots was saved by Ron, who had wandered slightly to his right hoop and had given him more work to do in order to reach the left hoop.
"Weasley is shit," laughed Draco snarkily. "You'll lose this game."
Harry only made a comment to the little twerp once Katie has scored on the counterattack. "How about you shut up Malfoy and let your team do the talking."
Draco scowled at Harry. The slytherins were chanting "Weasley is our king." In an attempt to fluster Ron, but his best mate was holding his own with an excellent save at his far past before laying off a good pass to Angelina.
Harry decided to test Dracos reactions, he gave a fake gasp and dived down immediately, Malfoy took the bait and dived after him.
Harry stretched his hand out at nothing. Just as he felt his fingers skim the grass beneath him, he immediately pulled up with the help of his trusty firebolt, Harry was able to avoid smacking into the ground.
Unfortunately Draco had managed to pull up in time, though he looked a little shaken.
"AND POTTER PULLS OFF A BRILLIANT WRONSKI FEINT AND NESRLY TAKES OUT MALFOY!" Lee Jordan commented.
And then it happened.
A failed bludger strike from George left Ron in a two versus one attack as the chasers tried to race back to the Gryffindor posts. Ron saved the first shot well but the Quaffle bounced into the hands of the other chaser who threw the Quaffle into the exposed hoop.
Harry pulled up besides Ron as his mate tossed the Quaffle back to the Gryffindors so they could restart the play. "You're doing well mate, not your fault, you got the first save just keep doing what you are doing."
The Gryffindor crowed was cheering for Ron, many were surprised at how good of a keeper he was.
Harry could tell the Gryffindor chasers were struggling to score, the beaters in the form of Crabbe and Goyle had doubled down on Alicia Spinnet and had been successful in nearly knocking her off her broom, along with straining her wrist.
"Ginny!" Shouted Angelina towards the Gryffindor bench. "You're up!"
Ginny didn't seem nervous, but determined to win the game, and it showed in her performance when she got the quaffle and sped towards the Slytherin hoops.
"AND THE FEMALE WEASLEY IS IN ONE ON ONE AGAINST THE KEEPER!" Said Lee Jordan.
Ginny aimed at the right hoop and reared her arm back before swerving left around the Syltherin keeper, who on trying to snatch the quaffle had grabbed Ginny's broom instead.
Ginny managed to throw the quaffle into the middle hoop putting the game at forty to ten. The Gryffindor stand cheered as Ginny got her debut goal.
Harry mouthed "get in." To himself as he raised his fist, Ginny had come on and immediately was giving the Slytherin team a massive headache, she was able to draw in the chaser or the beaters attention which allowed Angelina and Alicia to be open to attack.
Ron didn't look as confident but he had made another good save and Ginny, noting that her brother had seen her in position, he reared back his arm and Ginny sped off towards the slytherin end as Ron used all of his arm power to launch the quaffle high into the air.
It sailed down towards where Ginny was and the Slytherin keeper had rushed away from his hoops to try and intercept the through pass from Ron before Ginny could get to it, the Slytherin chasers were trying to track back as fast as they could along with the Slytherin beaters trying to hit the bludgers at Ginny.
Ginny anticipated this and was able to reach out for the Quaffle before swerving out of the way of the keeper and launching a pass to Alicia Spinnet, who had a free open shot at the now exposed Slytherin hoops.
The score was now eight to thirty in favour of Gryffindor and Harry still couldn't find the snitch which frustrated him but also allowed for the team to get more points on the board, the Slytherins were at this point hoping for Draco to grab the snitch and that was something Harry was going to make sure didn't happen.
Then Harry spotted it, the snitch was floating around the Gryffindor posts unknown to Ron and Harry immediately charged after it. Draco chased after him, but he wasn't quick enough to catch up not only because Harry's broom was faster, but because had a large enough head start over Draco.
The snitch darted away to the left and Harry began to swerve after the snitch when he felt someone tug at his broom.
"What the fuck?" Exclaimed Harry as he nearly fell off of his broom. He turned his head around to see Draco grabbing the back end of his broom with both hands, cuasing his firebolt to try and lurch itself out of his grip and this was something that was definitely illegal in Quidditch.
"WHAT IS MALFOY DOING, THAT CHEATING GIT, THATS NOT EVEN ALLOWED!" Exclaimed Lee as the Gryffindor's jeered at Malfoy, even the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws joined in with the jeers at Draco. McGonagall hadn't even reprimanded Lee Jordan as she was also shouting in disgust at Draco's actions.
Harry tried to shrug Draco off of his firebolt, but Malfoy kept a firm hold on Harry's broom.
"Draco what the hell are you doing?" Said Harry.
"You're not getting the snitch Potter." Draco spat at him angrily.
Ginny saw what Dracon was doing and as Angelina put the quaffle into the Slytherin hoop to score another ten poitns for the team, she swooped past and that caused Draco to let go in order to swerve his own broom to avoid colliding with Potter's girlfriend. Harry swore he heard Ginny hiss the words "cheating bastard."
Harry focused on the snitch and darted after it, Draco had recovered and was already trying to catch up with him, but it was too late for him.
Harry's right hand reached out and he closed his fingers around the small, elusive golden ball and the Gryffindors cheered as Lee Jordan announced the scores.
"AND GRYFFINDOR TRIUMPHS IN WHAT HAS BEEN AN ENTERTAINING QUIDDITCH MATCH, THE SCORE ENDS TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY TO THRITY TO GRYFFINDOR!" Announced Lee Jordan.
The Gryffindor team immediately embraced each other.
"Brilliant game guys," Said Angelina proudly. "Especially you two weasleys." She pointed to Ron and Ginny.
Ron blushed but accepted the praise and Ginny beamed as Harry kissed her.
"Eww." Groaned the twins and Ron as the couple locked lips.
The female chasers laughed at Ron, Fred and Georges annoyance and Harry and Ginny separated as the Gryffindor's swarmed the pitch to congratulate the team.
"Potter." Said Malfoy as he approached him.
Harry let go of Ginny as he stepped forward. "What do you want Malfoy? Going to apologise for cheating?"
Draco sneered at him. "You got lucky Potter, you seemed to enjoy saving the Weasley's backsides, Weaselbee had an absolute howler today and a lucky catch is what won you the game."
Harry chuckled. "Need I remind you that we battered you two hundred and fifty to thirty."
"Well that only happened because your blood-traitor whore saved your arse," said Draco. "I saw her parents in the paper, her mum and Dad seemed to be quite pudgy don't they."
Harry clenched his fist. "Don't do it Harry, leave him be." Said Ginny tugging on his arm.
"Scared Potter?" Laughed Draco. "Pity you don't have any parents, they'd think you'd be a disappointment and not worth dying for."
"You shut your mouth Malfoy, unless you want to be beaten to a bloodied pulp." Hissed Harry, a dangerous glare that he sent at Malfoy.
"I wonder why you'd bother with weaslette considering she practically spread her legs for the dark lord in her first year." Cackled Draco. Everyone else was mortified at Malfoys comment, though Malfoy would later regret the comment that had just left his mouth.
That set Harry off, he ripped his arms out of Ginny's grip and ignored the protests of people telling him to either stop or trying to pull him off Draco as he launched himself at Draco, or the cheers from some of the more passionate Gryffindors like Seamus who chanted "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!". His right fist smacked into Draco's face.
Draco flinched and covered his now bruised nose as blood spurted out, Harry kicked Draco, his foot connecting with Draco's gut which caused him to double over in pain. Harry felt satisfaction from each blow he inflicted on the blonde git and he hit him again.
Draco cowered in half fear and half in pain, Ginny dragged Harry away from Draco before he could do more harm and some of the other Slytherins were trying to start a fight but some of their own held them back as McGonagall approached, anger etched onto her face.
"How dare you brawl like common thieves!" Shouted McGonagall at Harry and Draco, even though Draco hadn't layed a finger on Harry.
"He deserved it Professor." Said Harry as Ginny and Angelina released him once he said he wasn't going to beat up Draco anymore.
"You will have detention Potter for the whole week and a hundred points from Gryffindor." Said McGonagall.
Umbridge gave a fake cough behind McGonagall and the transfiguration Professor turned around. Harry dreaded whatever punishment Umbridge was going to give it and his heart nearly dropped when she spoke.
"I think you'll find Minerva that Potter could've done even more damage to young Mr. Malfoy," began Umbridge with a small smirk on her face and Harry dreaded whatever extra punishment he was going to get. "I think it would be best if he had his broom taken off of him along with being banned from playing Quidditch, and his detentions will be with me, starting tonight at nine o'clock Mr. Potter."
Umbridge summoned his broom and walked off with it but Harry stopped her, he knew at that moment that Umbridge was one of the most foul humans despite Voldemort existence.
"Don't come crying back to me when Old Voldy shows up again, acting like you did nothing." Said Harry, venom in his voice.
"You will hold your tongue Mr. Potter or that will be another weeks worth of detentions and amothwr twenty five poi ta from Gryffindor house." Said Umbridge with a her fake sugary sweet voice before she turned away and made her way back to the castle.
Harry made his way back as well, ignoring everyone. He no longer felt any happiness from here win, he didn't even see the blazing look he got from Ginny, instead trudging up to the castle in a bit of a depressed sulk, now that one of his favourite hobbies had been snatched away from him.

Harry sat on his bed the next day, he didn't even want to get out of his bed. The whole world seemed to want to make his life shit and it was doing a very good job of it so far.
There was a small knock at the door, he wasn't in the mood to deal with other people right now.
"Bugger off." Said Harry.
"Not a nice way to say hello to your girlfriend is it." Said Ginny, another blazing look on her face as she made her way to Harry's bed.
"I'm sorry," Said Harry as he opened his arms. "Didn't realise it was you, thought it was Ron or Hermione."
Ginny crawled into his embrace and ran her fingers through his hair. "Unlike Hermione, I'm not going to berate you for beating the shit out of the little twerp," she looked up at Harry with a smile on her face. "I just didn't want you to get kicked off the quidditch team, Angelina is pissed off at you."
"He deserved it," Said Harry. "Especially what he said about you."
"Harry I can stand up for myself," said Ginny. "And you know he's trying to get a reaction out of you."
"And now he knows if he tries again, I'll beat the crap out of him again." Said Harry.
"I know, I just think you need to be a bit more careful, leave him alive for the rest of us to kick his arse at least." Said Ginny.
"I'm sorry I've pissed everyone off, but your family is the closest I've had to my one," said Harry as he ran his fingers through Ginny's locks of red hair. "When he made those comments about you, Mr and Mrs. Weasley and my parents, I felt angry and I wanted to make him suffer like I did."
Ginny hugged him tighter, her boyfriend had a heart of gold a times, but he was also very noble and protective of those he loved, it was here Ginny hoped that the Dursley's would suffer for eternity.
"How bad is he? Asked Harry.
Ginny smirked. "He's in the hospital wing with a broken nose, a fractured cheekbone and a concussion, apparently madam Pompfrey can't use magic on his injuries because of the concussion, so she's letting them heal the muggle way."
Harry Barked with laughter. "He'll bloody hate that."
"Come on," said Ginny with a smile. "Come down and have some breakfast and then we can spend the rest of the day with each other."
Harry smiled "Would that include some top notice quality snogging with my favourite woman?"
"Maybe," said Ginny with a saucily. "It depends who this woman is."
Harry ran his hands down to her waist to cup her firm bottom through her short skirt. "I believe it is this woman."
Ginny grabbed his hands from her arse, though she looked like she had enjoyed the touch, and pulled him off of his bed. The young couple shared a soft and slow kiss that made Harry feel much happier before heading downstairs to the great hall.

Hagrid knew that the mission he and Madame Maxime, the headmistress of beauxbatons, would be dangerous. Bargaining with the giants wasn't easy when he had seen the death eaters outside the cave in the morning, he knew there was trouble.
They had offered many valuable looking items, mostly covered in gold or even diamonds and Hagrid also picked up that they were offering the giants land for them to live on if they were to become allies to the dark lord.
Hagrid knew they had to leave, he shook Madame Maxime awake and they quietly made their way out of the cave.
Hagrid also wanted to bring his half brother, Grawpy, back to Hogwarts he could at least take him to Hogwarts and hide him in the forbidden forest.
Unbeknownst to Hagrid, SCP-1853 was spying on the death eaters as well. The anomaly kept its scope locked onto the head of the giant.
Without a thought or any form of hesitancy, SCP-1853 pulled the trigger.
The gurg dropped dead, the high calibre shot combined with six of the bullets being compacted together was enough to pierce the cranium of the giant's skull and right through its brain.
The death eaters were alerted and were barking orders to find who had killed the gurg.
The other giants in the cave were enraged and began to pile out, their new leader now dead and they turned on the death eaters.
SCP-1853 lept out of it's cover and landed infront of the death eaters, its fist pummelled into the ground as a loud slam echoed through the cave.
SCP-1853 acted quickly, it extended its wristblade on its left hand and sliced it through one of the death eaters necks, beheading him.
The other two threw jets of green light at SCP-1853, it dodged the spells with ease and punched the barrel of its rifle into the gut of the nearest death eater and he pulled the trigger, killing the death eater.
The last one cowered back and didn't even consider apparating away.
SCP-1853 swung it's leg, tripping the death eater sideways. As the death eater fell, SCP-1853 sliced its wristblade through the death eaters stomach, slicing him in two as its lower and upper half were separated by the strong blade.
SCP-1853 looked up at the large giant that towered over him, many others appeared and the one nearest to him swung its fist, trying to grab or pummel the figure into the ground.
SCP-1853 lept over the hand, it's exo-skeleton suit's thrusters boosting him upwards, he spun in the air and launched his foot in a powerful kick into the giants face.
The giant flayed backwards and SCP-1853 bounced off the giant from the kick and reared back its fist with the wristblade extended, SCP-1853 struck its wristblade into the skull of the giant, killing it.
SCP-1853 fired a couple of shotgun shells at the other giant nearest to him, the shell fragments blinding it.
He lept backwards away from the giants as another one fell. SCP-1853 tapped it's wrist HUD and selected the anti-proton collider on his shoulder mounted cannon.
The barrel of the cannon began to glow a faint white as it charged up the anti-proton system, it whirred into life and SCP-1853 aimed its laser guidance system at one of the giant's before firing the anti proton.
The anti-proton collider was designed to fire a small amount of charged anti protons that could damage or destroy the molecular structure of organic and inorganic substances.
There was a loud bang followed by an repulsion explosion as the spherical ball of charged anti protons hit one of the giant's in the chest. The giant in question looked clumsily down at where its chest had once been, now a large gap with only a few strands of burnt flesh and brittled bone that had fallen out.
The other giants were now in fear of the small figure and many retreated back into the cave except for two others, one of them was carrying a large tree trunk and it reared its arms back and smashed the trunk down onto the small figure.
SCP-1853 stood there and launched its fist at the tree trunk that had been sent in his direction, the force of his fist was enough to shatter the trunk and the giant dropped its now broken weapon and both of the remaining giants tried to stomp onto the small figure.
SCP-1853 dodged this and lept onto one of the giants legs and he uses his wristlade to slice through the flesh, he then lept onto the other leg and sliced open the flesh.
The giant tried to use its hands to grab SCP-1853, but the anomaly used its flamethrower on his left wrist to send a powerful, burning hot flame at the giants face.
The giant roared as its face was set alight, its eyes melted along with its other facial extremities before it collapsed in a burnt heap as the fires begun to consume it.
The other giant backed away from the threat but SCP-1853 ran towards it and lept into the air, its foot outstretched as it landed on the giants face, knocking it onto the ground.
SCP-1853 slashed it's wristblade across the giants neck, slicing through its throat before leaving it to bleed out. It lept off of the giant and back onto the ground. It stared at the entrance to the cave and flicked on its night vision so that it could see into the dark abyss.
It spotted Hagrid and Madame Maxime as they exited the cave and cautiously approached the figure.
It spoke to them.
"You are Dumbledore's associates." Said SCP-1853 it's voice emotionless.
"Who are yer?" Asked Hagrid.
SCP-1853 did not answer, instead it levelled its shotgun.
"Get down!" It bellowed.
Hagrid and Madama Maxime hauled themselves to the ground as SCP-1853 began firing at the death eaters that had appeared behind them, a few of them fell as a result of the gunshots but the rest used shielding charms to deflect the shell fragments.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" SCP-1853 Barked the order at Hagrid and Madame Maxime as it rushed onto one of the death eaters and sliced through the death eaters head diagonally with its wristblade.
Madam Maxime side apparated Hagrid out of the area as more giants emerged from the cage and SCP-1853 turned its attention to the new foes that had appeared, it raised its wrist mounted flamethrower and the flames burst out in a long streak.
The death eaters were able to avoid the large flames as there were mostly directed at the giants, one of them fired a killing curse at SCP-1853.
SCP-1853 dodged the jet of green light and fired an ice bomb from its shoulder mounted cannon, which exploded and froze three of the death eaters.
"RETREAT!" Barked one of the death eaters before it's head exploded from one of the high calibre shots from SCP-1853s rifle.
Many of the death eaters began to sue their emergency portkeys or apparate from he area. One of the death eaters however, was unlucky to be hoisted into the air by SCP-1853 before it could flee.
"Where is your leader?" Demanded SCP-1853.
"I-i don't know?" The death eater said in fear.
"Don't lie to me scum." Said SCP-1853 as it's right hand clenched around the death eaters neck.
"You'll never find him." The death eater choked.
SCP-1853 squeezed with all of its strength into the death eaters neck and there was a loud crunching sound as the death eaters neck was crushed. SCP-1853 flicked the head away, the pained and fearful expression still etched on the disembodied head of the death eater.
SCP-1853 lowered its shotgun and surveyed the area, the bodies of the giant's were slowly being burnt to ashes.
A portal formed infront of SCP-1853 and the anomaly stepped through, leaving behind the cave where the giants had once been.
*
"And then 'e began attacking the death eaters with 'is muggle weaponry and killed all them giants, I only just managed to get Grawpy out." Said Hagrid through Dumbledore's fireplace.
"And the figure did not attack you?" Asked Dumbledore.
"No, 'e didn't lay a finger on me or Madame Maxime, yer should have seen it Albus." Said Hagrid. "He were powerful that day, fire shooting out of his wrist practically burnt the giants to ash."
"I thank you Hagrid," said Dumbledore warmly. "You should stay at Grimmauld Place for the next few weeks and then you can return to Hogwarts to teach care of magical creatures."
"I can't wait, I'll see yer later Albus." Said Hagrid before his head dissapeared from the fireplace, the green fireplace going out.
Dumbledore took off his glasses and placed then on his desk before rubbing his eyes, he had a headache from having to deal with the complaints about Delores Umbridge. Despite being the headmaster of Hogwarts, there was little he could do about the current defence against the dark arts professor.
The death of the giant's was unfortunate, he had wanted to make peace with them but Dumbledore knew they would have given into temptation as a result of Voldemort's offer of freedom and their land back, so them dying removed a possible threat as there would still be some giants out there.
He sat down at his desk and began to rummage through the reports he had on how the students had been doing, another one of his duties as headmaster.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter, I appreciate any comments and reviews you wish to send me. A peek there at some more of SCP-1853 in a fight, there is more to come.
