After the first prank on Ron time s

After the first prank on Ron time seemed to fly by rather quickly. Harry would go to classes and make sure to do better than Granger in every subject possible and Draco was there to keep the muggleborn know-it-all under control in those subjects where Harry couldn't keep up, which were just a few, namely Potions, History of Magic and Astronomy. That, coupled with the charm on her ink which still no one could figure out how to undo, made sure that Hermione Granger had no time to spy on Harry. Ginny, oddly enough, didn't really acquire much attention, since she was practically unseen all the time. Ronald… well, he was Ronald… he was as thick as a brick. No matter how many times Harry told the carrot top to go away, Ron would still bounce back up a few days later as if nothing happened. But beside those Harry had another problem – the problem's name was Gilderoy Lockhart and by the time Halloween arrived, the Boy-Who-Lived was seriously contemplating poisoning or otherwise getting rid of the idiot.


"Urgh… leave me alone…"- whined Harry, as Neville attempted to get his roommate out of bed.

"Harry, we have classes. Get up, you lazy git." – came the already expected reply.

"Don't want to… It's Halloween… I'm not going out of this room today!"

"Oh, come on! Do you want me to get George?" – Neville threatened idly.

"Okay! Fine! I'm up!" – grumbled the Potter heir as he flung away the covers and crawled out of bed.

Neville snickered at his friend's fear of George. Somehow over the past two months the Weasley twins became like older siblings to Harry and Neville. And while Fred was very fun to hand out with and the one to help them out with their pranks, George was more of a mother hen. Of course that didn't mean that he became a responsible person. But when it came to Harry and Neville, he was like a totally different person. He helped them with their homework; made sure they ate healthily and exercised regularly. He even tuck them in when they went to bed. Obviously no one except his twin and the boys never saw this side of George and if one were to ask Fred about this side of his twin, he'd go dreamy eyed and sigh all the time, probably imagining what a good mother his twin would make for their future children.

"I don't get so important. I haven't missed a single class so far, there is no harm in missing one day…" – grumbled Harry as he went for a shower.

Back in their room Neville snickered quietly and readied himself for classes.


"A duelling club you say?" – asked Minerva McGonagall incredulously – "Are you sure you're up to it?"

It was indeed a lucky day for the Scottish witch. Early in the morning Dumbledore left to visit his sister's grave and thus making decisions was in her hands right now. Unfortunately she couldn't fire the idiot, who was in front of her right now, but it still felt good, no matter that it was only for a little while.

She sighed in relief when Severus swept into the room. One glare from the Potions master was enough to make the coward slink back to his classroom:

"Morning, Severus." – she greeting the younger man –"You're right on time as always."

"Obviously, Minerva." – said the wizard – "Was there something you needed?"

"Nothing in particular. Though our resident idiot proposed an interesting idea…"

"You don't say?" – drawled the man, snorting derisively.

"He proposed to make a dueling club. Of course he wanted to be in charge, but I told him to get lost. Now however I realize that the idea itself is not a bad one. Thus I'm asking you to take charge of it, if there enough children who want to take part."

"A dueling club?" – Severus muttered. He has always wanted to be the DADA professor, but Albus didn't trust him, a former Death Eater, to teach that to children. While a dueling club wouldn't be the same as actually teaching DADA, and it would be additional work load, Severus found that he wanted to do it.

"I'll do it." – he blurted out without even realizing that he said it out loud.

"Excellent." – smiled the deputy headmistress – "Now, how is the children's progress in Potions?"

Professor Snape blinked at the abrupt subject change:

"Well, Draco Malfoy is on top of things as usual, though this year he is closely followed by Mr. Potter." – it was hard for Severus to admit that the Potter spawn was not just a mini-James, but the boy's near perfect marks did a lot of good – "Mr. Weasley, the youngest that is, is doing even worse than Crabbe and Goyle, not that I thought such a thing possible. That know-it-all Granger is still affected by the spell, whoever put it on her. Also I was rather pleasantly surprised with Longbottom. After becoming friends with Potter he apparently found his spine, with his extraordinary knowledge of Herbology, they really work well together. How are your classes?"

Minerva shrugged a bit:

"Also pretty good, well not counting Miss Granger that is. I just don't understand it… why would someone put such a spell on her?"

Severus snorted:

"You don't really get it? All last year she was a bloody menace. Whenever I ask the class a question, she practically jumped out of her seat to answer. It was like she didn't understand that she was not the only student in the class."

Minerva blushed a bit, recalling that she herself was very similar to the bushy haired Gryffindor:

"Well, you are right on that point. But it's been going on for two months now…"

Snape shrugged uncaringly:

"Well then inspect her belongings like parchment, quills… that sort of thing… if there is nothing there, then take her St. Mungoe's."

The Head of Gryffindor blinked a few times and fought down the urge to bang her head on the table:

"Now why didn't I think of that myself?" – she muttered under her breath, but the younger wizard still heard thanks to his keen senses and smirked at the older woman.

Soon the other professors arrived and the meeting went smoothly, it turned out that unfortunately Ms. Granger wasn't doing well in any of her classes, while Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter and even Neville Longbottom were on a roll. Minerva also announced the creation of the Duelling Club and made Severus the one in charge with professor Flitwick as his aid. That was of course done so that Dumbledore wouldn't have the chance to involve Lockhart. Well, Lockhart himself was enraged that his idea passed, but he was not the one in charge. The idiot tried to argue with the decision and so Minerva said that he'd have to prove his skill first and defeat Severus in a formal wizarding duel. Obviously the blond turkey had no guts to do something like that, so the matter was resolved.


While Neville managed to drag Harry to classes that day, the boy flat out refused to go the feast. Instead he accepted Nearly Headless Nick's invitation to the ghost's Death Day party. The twins and, surprisingly enough, Pansy went with him, since it was a more unique thing than a Halloween Feast… that and they didn't want to leave Harry alone.

The party itself turned out to be rather dull and the food was totally inedible and so Harry felt guilty for being the reason his friends came here:

"I'm sorry, guys…" – he muttered as they were going back to Gryffindor Tower – "… I didn't know it would be that boring…"

"Well," – drawled Pansy, as came to the staircase that led to the dungeons – "at least it was interesting from an academic point of view. Don't worry, Potter, as long you do not make your birthday party like that I don't think it matters."

"Yeah, like little Ms. snake said…" – chuckled Fred, earning himself a dirty look from Pansy – "We wanted to keep you company, so we went. No big deal, now hurry up, if we're lucky we can have a snack in the kitchens."

George rolled his eyes at the unoriginal nickname:

"Goodnight Pansy…" – then he frowned at something at the end of the corridor – "You guys, what is that?"

Harry and Fred turned to look and saw the huge puddle of water. Harry was confused and went to have a closer look:

"Shit! We have to get out of here!" – he ran back to Fred and George – "We can take the long way to the tower. If Filch sees us here, he'll kill us."

Fred, who was also quite curious and followed Harry for a closer peek was equally unnerved. Thus the trio ran off back to the Great Hall and took the stairs up to the Tower.


When Neville came back from the Feast, the boys told him all about the water in the corridor, the strange message on the wall and the apparently dead cat hanging from a torch by her tail.

"Enemies of the Heir beware?" – he repeated quietly – "The Chamber has been opened?... It does sound sort of ominous… you guys were really lucky you weren't caught."

George nodded with a sigh:

"That's true I suppose. I wonder… what is Dumbledore going to say about the episode?"

"My money goes on he tries to cover it up." – said Fred at once.

Neville rolled his eyes:

"That's so obvious that even I'm not going to argue. Of course he'll cover it up, as long as no one else saw the cat before he was alerted to the event. However we should really try and figure out who's this Heir and what Chamber they mean… because if someone is up to something serious, I don't think they'll stop with a dead cat."

George watched his friends with a smile, but he was really worried. Strange things always happened at Hogwarts, but not the sort of things that could kill someone… until last year that is. From all the bragging Ron had done over the summer, the twins, along with the rest of the family, were aware of pretty much all the detail of the 'Sorcerer's Stone' fiasco. However they didn't know what happened at the end, when Harry was left alone to face Quirrel who was trying to steal the stone.

'Really, why do these things happen around him?' – thought the older Weasley twin – 'It's like he's a danger magnet. Oh, well… I guess we should be more careful from now, because I'm pretty sure this will not end with just a cat…'

Sau khi prank đầu tiên trên Ron thời gian dường như bay khá nhanh chóng. Harry sẽ đi đến các lớp học và làm cho chắc chắn để làm tốt hơn so với Granger trong mỗi chủ đề có thể và Draco đã có để giữ know-it-all muggleborn dưới sự kiểm soát ở những đối tượng nơi Harry không thể theo kịp, mà đã chỉ là một vài, cụ thể là Potions, lịch sử ma thuật và thiên văn học. Đó, cùng với sự quyến rũ trên mực của mình mà không có vẫn còn một trong những có thể tìm ra làm thế nào để hoàn tác, chắc rằng Hermione Granger có không có thời gian để gián điệp trên Harry. Ginny, kỳ quặc đủ, không thực sự có được nhiều sự chú ý, kể từ khi cô đã không nhìn thấy thực tế tất cả thời gian. Ronald... tốt, ông là Ronald... ông là dày như một viên gạch. Không có vấn đề bao nhiêu lần nói với Harry trên cà rốt để biến mất, Ron sẽ vẫn còn trả lại lên một vài ngày sau đó nếu như không có gì xảy ra. Nhưng bên cạnh những Harry đã có một vấn đề-của vấn đề tên là Gilderoy Lockhart và khi Halloween đến, các cậu bé-người-sống nghiêm túc suy niệm ngộ độc hoặc nếu không loại bỏ của kẻ ngốc."Urgh... để lại cho tôi một mình..."-whined Harry, như Neville đã cố gắng để có được bạn cùng phòng của mình ra khỏi giường."Harry, chúng tôi có các lớp học. Thức dậy, bạn lazy git."-đến trả lời đã dự kiến."Không muốn... Đó là Halloween... Tôi sẽ không ra khỏi phòng này vào ngày hôm nay!""Oh, thôi nào! Bạn có muốn tôi để có được George?"-Neville đe dọa nguyên nhân."Được rồi! Mỹ! I 'm up!"-grumbled Potter người thừa kế khi ông bao la đi bìa và thu thập thông tin ra khỏi giường.Neville snickered lúc của bạn mình sợ hãi của George. Bằng cách nào đó trong hai tháng qua các em sinh đôi Weasley đã trở thành như chị để Harry và Neville. Và trong khi Fred là rất thú vị để tay ra với và một để giúp đỡ họ với trò đùa của, George đã là nhiều hơn một hen mẹ. Tất nhiên, đó không có nghĩa là rằng ông đã trở thành một người chịu trách nhiệm. Nhưng khi nó đến để Harry và Neville, ông đã như một người hoàn toàn khác nhau. Ông đã giúp họ với bài tập ở nhà của họ; chắc họ ăn lành mạnh và thực hiện thường xuyên. Ông thậm chí tuck chúng trong khi họ đã đi ngủ. Rõ ràng là không ai ngoại trừ đôi của mình và các chàng trai không bao giờ thấy điều này phụ của George và nếu một đã hỏi Fred về mặt của đôi của ông, ông sẽ đi thơ mộng mắt và thở dài tất cả thời gian, có thể tưởng tượng những gì mẹ tốt một đôi của ông sẽ làm cho con cái của họ trong tương lai."Tôi không có được rất quan trọng. Tôi đã không bỏ lỡ một lớp duy nhất cho đến nay, có là không có hại trong thiếu một ngày..."-grumbled Harry như ông đã đi cho một vòi sen.Trở lại trong phòng của Neville snickered lặng lẽ và cứ tự cho các lớp học."Một duelling câu lạc bộ bạn nói?"-hỏi Minerva McGonagall incredulously-"Bạn có chắc chắn bạn đang lên đến nó?"Nó thực sự là một ngày may mắn cho các phù thủy người Scotland. Sớm vào buổi sáng Dumbledore để lại để ghé thăm ngôi mộ của chị em của mình và do đó làm cho quyết định là trong tay của mình ngay bây giờ. Thật không may, cô không thể bắn idiot, những người đã ở phía trước của cô ấy ngay bây giờ, nhưng nó vẫn cảm thấy tốt, không có vấn đề mà nó đã chỉ cho một thời gian ngắn.Cô thở dài trong cứu trợ khi Severus xuôi vào phòng. Một ánh sáng chói từ bậc thầy Potions đã đủ để làm cho kẻ hèn nhát slink trở lại lớp học của mình:"Buổi sáng, Severus."-cô lời chào người đàn ông trẻ hơn-"Bạn đang đúng giờ như mọi khi.""Rõ ràng, Minerva."-nói thuật sĩ-"Đã có một cái gì đó bạn cần?""Không có gì trong đó. Mặc dù chúng tôi cư dân idiot đề xuất một ý tưởng thú vị...""Bạn không nói?"-drawled người đàn ông, snorting nhạo."Ông đề nghị để làm cho một câu lạc bộ đấu tay đôi. Tất nhiên ông muốn chịu trách nhiệm, nhưng tôi nói với ông để có được mất. Bây giờ Tuy nhiên tôi nhận ra rằng ý tưởng chính nó không phải là xấu nhất. Do đó tôi yêu cầu bạn phụ trách của nó, nếu có đủ trẻ em những người muốn tham gia.""Một đấu tay đôi câu lạc bộ?"-Severus muttered. Ông đã luôn luôn muốn trở thành giáo sư DADA, nhưng Albus không tin anh ta, một cựu tử thần thực tử, để dạy đó cho trẻ em. Trong khi một câu lạc bộ đấu tay đôi sẽ không giống như thực sự giảng dạy DADA, và nó sẽ là công việc bổ sung tải, Severus tìm thấy rằng ông muốn làm điều đó."Tôi sẽ làm nó"-ông blurted ra mà không hề nhận ra rằng ông nói nó ra lớn."Tuyệt vời."-cười hiệu trưởng phó-"Bây giờ, làm thế nào là sự tiến bộ của trẻ em trong Potions?"Giáo sư Snape blinked lúc sự thay đổi đột ngột chủ đề:"Well, Draco Malfoy is on top of things as usual, though this year he is closely followed by Mr. Potter." – it was hard for Severus to admit that the Potter spawn was not just a mini-James, but the boy's near perfect marks did a lot of good – "Mr. Weasley, the youngest that is, is doing even worse than Crabbe and Goyle, not that I thought such a thing possible.
