Harry woke up that morning and danced around to the tune of "Hakuna Matata" from The Lion King, making Ron and the other pure-blood wizards confused, and Hermione, Seamus, Dean were amused. [1]
"What's that dance you're doing, mate?" Ron asked.
"It's Hakuna Matata from The Lion King." Harry said.
"What the bloody hell is The Lion King?" Ron asked.
"It's a movie." Harry said.
"What is—?" Ron started to ask, but Hermione cut him off.
"It's like the moving pictures but it's longer." Hermione said and she was trying not to laugh at Harry's dance and karaoke segment; she was amused but didn't want to make fun of him.
"Why are you doing that, Harry?"
Harry picked up the green, purple, and orange book and grinned, showing her the title that clearly read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
"This will prove that me and Dumbledore aren't liars. But I am worried—" Harry began to said, but stopped as Neville came into the room.
"About what?" Hermione asked.
"Nevermind." Harry said. He was about to say that he was worried about Neville and how he would react to Barty Crouch Jr. since he was one of the Death Eaters who tortured his parents in madness, but Dumbledore swore him to secrecy after he found out the truth last year.
"That was definitely my toughest year. Tied for second year." Harry said.
"I'm sorry, mate, for saying that your name was put in the Goblet. I freaked out because you got every opportunity; Quidditch, saving my sister, getting an expensive broom (the Firebolt), being the Boy Who Lived, fighting V-V-Voldemort not once, not twice, but three frickin' times, getting the Marauder's Map, winning the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor, and obviously, being in the Triwizard Tournament last year."
"It's okay, mate. Can you forgive me for being jealous that you were a Prefect." Harry asked.
"Yes." Ron smiled.
The two hugged and an amused Hermione smiled.
Mr and Mrs. Weasley came into the room.
"Morning." they said, as they grabbed coffee.
Harry assumed they were clearly disturbed that the rat spent 12 years hiding with them and sleeping in their sons (Percy and Ron)'s bed. Percy also came in, walking the separate direction, but he also looked disturbed as well, and Harry saw a haunted look in his face, like he was disgusted or something.
"Wait until Fudge and Umbridge find out Voldemort returned. Their faces will be shocked." Harry said.
They reached the Great Hall and the couches were already assembled. The staff table were filled with a bunch of food, including cheeseburgers, ice cream, French fries, and other things.
"Why didn't you—" Fred began.
"Tell us our idols—" George continued.
"Were living with us last summer?" Fred finished, and the two gave the Golden Trio an angry glare.
"Because where's the fun in that?" Harry said with a smile.
Everybody laughed, even Fred and George.
Hermione looked at her list of questions for Goblet of Fire, which was empty but it was sure to be filled with questions.
She looked at her questions for Prisoner of Azkaban, which were trivial things like "Why was Hagrid's first lesson about hippogriffs?", important things like "Why did Fudge talk about Sirius and Pettigrew in a public place?", "Why did Sirius wait until the summer before third year to escape from Azkaban; why didn't he escape before then?", "What did Dumbledore mean when he said that Trelawney made two real predictions?", "Why didn't Fred and George know that Pettigrew was sleeping in Ron's bed?", "How did the Malfoys not know that Sirius was innocent when Lucius married Narcissa, a member of the Blacks, and Sirius was disowned from his family for being a Muggle sympathizer?", and "What is Sirius and Lupin's Patronus form?". The answers were "Because Hagrid is a strange individual and likes strange creatures.", "Probably because Fudge was drunk and wanted to explain the truth to Rosmerta.", "He didn't have any incentive as he believed that Harry wasn't told the truth.", "We don't know this one, but hopefully we find out.", "Because they didn't know about Pettigrew, so they just assumed it was a mistake.", "Because they didn't pay attention or because Voldemort didn't tell them about Pettigrew.", and "A dog and a wolf, since a dog is Sirius' Animagus form and Remus is a werewolf."
"So, how many on the list did you do this year?" Tonks asked.
"Three." Harry said.
"That's less than I thought. You did twelve already." Remus said.
"What about the calming draughts?" Remus asked.
Hermione finished dotting down her notes. There were seventeen chapters that would need a calming draught: from The Scar to The Beginning. There were twelve breaks, the most of any book.
Hermione shared the notes and the professors nodded their heads.
The group went into the Great Hall.
"The next book is about Harry Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts and is called Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." announced Professor Flitwick.
"Or as I call it, the year of Voldemort's dramatic return." Harry said to Ron, Hermione, and their group and they all snickered or snorted.
The Riddle House
Harry and everyone else turned away from the mention of the name 'Riddle'.
"Great, this is about Voldemort." Harry groaned.
[1] At this point, the timeline takes place in November of 1995 and The Lion King was released in June of 1994, which meant Harry didn't see it until the summer before, and must have caught Dudley viewing or something and was intrigued and so, he watched it with him.
