"Alright everyone, welcome back." Harry said as he welcomed a bunch of students back to another training session, these students were all fourth years and above. "First of all, I'd...yes?" He asked when he saw Hermione Granger raise her hand.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but I was thinking that we should have a name for this group." She said.
"What? Why?" A fourth year Hufflepuff asked.
"Well, it would give us a sense of unity," Hermione began. "plus it would give us a way to talk about it outside of here without someone, namely Professor Umbridge, finding out about this."
"Well, she does have a point." Blaise said after a few seconds of thinking.
"As much as I hate to admit it, I agree." Draco said, feeling like he might throw up a little at having to agree with Granger.
"Oh, how about the 'Silver Wolves'?" Tracey asked. "We could call it the 'SW' for short.
"Why that?" Harry asked as everyone turned to her.
"Well, first of all if we choose a snake or a lion or an eagle or a badger then the other three houses would complain and say they want their house animal," Tracey began explaining. "so it's a neutral animal that nobody can complain about. Also wolves are pack animals, they help and support each other, that's what we need to do right now. Help each other."
"Plus the wolf packs will always have an alpha in charge," Daphne grinned as she gestured to Harry. "it makes sense. As the alpha Harry's job is to protect and care for us while also keeping us in order."
"Fine, I really want to get this meeting on the way so for today at least we will be called the 'Silver Wolves' and if necessary, we will discuss it more later." Harry said. "Now, pair up guys, let's start with practise duels." Harry said before he turned to Tracey. "Wolves?" He mouthed questioningly.
"What? I like it." She mouthed back.
"And that's another ten points for Slytherin thanks to Harry Potter. " Lee Jordan announced at the latest game of quidditch, the competing teams today were Slytherin and Hufflepuff, and currently Slytherin was willing. "The score is now up 100-30, come on Hufflepuff! You can still get back into the game!" He said hopefully.
"Personally I'm hoping they don't." Tracey said to Harry as the two began flying next to each other.
"They won't!" Harry smiled before spotting Ginny fly up next to him. "Alright guys, go for move one-two-one-three, I'll be 'one', Ginny will be 'two', Tracey will be 'three', got it?"
"Got it." The girls smiled before separating from Harry.
"And Potter has the ball!" Phil Presier, the sixth year Slytherin commentator, said a few moments later. It had been agreed by the teachers (after numerous complaints by Slytherins) that each house would have a commentator representing them in quidditch, which was why there was now four commentators per every quidditch game, which was why Lee Jordan was now joined by Phil for Slytherin along with two other commentators for the other houses.
"He passes to Ginny Weasley who narrowly avoids a tackle and tosses it back to Potter." Fourth year Hufflepuff Andy Carlson commentated. "He looks like he is about to throw it, and he does! But wait! He threw it to Davis! She scores! That makes the score 110-30."
"Oh, the classic one-two-one-three move." Luna Lovegood, the fourth commentator commented. "It was very effective, I'm glad that Harry is the Slytherin team captain, I hope he continues to stay the captain. He doesn't seem to be too bothered by moon-day bugs that are flying around. Plus his butt is very nice to look at." She said in a matter-of-fact voice, causing the other three commentators to look at her.
"Miss Lovegood," Professor McGonagall, who was sat nearby, sighed. "please do not talk about the quidditch players behinds."
"Oh, okay," Luna nodded. "what about his eyes? They're quite dreamy."
"Not that, either." Professor McGonagall sighed.
"Oh look, Hufflepuff has the quaffle." Lee Jordan said, happy to bring the conversation away from whatever this was.
"But Potter steals it away," Presier says in an excited voice. "he looks to score another goal, but wait, what the hell is up with that bludger?"
Harry, whilst holding the quaffle, barrel rolled to avoid a bludger that had nearly taken off his head, but strangely enough the bludger didn't go straight past him and opted to instead change directions and fly back at him. Harry narrowly avoided the bludger, he looked over his shoulder and saw it once again change direction and charge after him, looking much faster than before.
"Tracey! Take over!" Harry yelled before tossing the quaffle to Tracey.
Harry flew downwards, waiting until the last second to pull out of his dive, the tips of his feet had grazed the grass but he had thankfully not crashed into the ground, unlike the bludger that had been following him. He looked over his shoulder when he heard the sound of a crash and saw the bludger had created a small hole in the ground. Harry's relief was short lived as the bludger flew up into the air a couple of seconds later and started chasing after him again.
"Potter actually did a 'Wronski Feint' against a bludger!" Andy Carlson said disbelievingly.
"Yes, yes, that's impressive but that bloody bludger is chasing after Potter!" Presier complained loudly.
"I don't imagine it'll be chasing after him much longer." Luna commented with a smile.
"Why is that?!" He demanded.
"Because Harry has his wand." Luna said before pointing in the direction of Harry. The other three commentators looked at where she was pointing and saw Harry aim his wand at the bludger that was trailing right behind him, a spell shot from his wand and hit the bludger. The second the spell hit the bludger it stopped chasing after Harry and dropped straight to the ground.
"That's lucky." Presier said in a voice filled with relief.
"Yeah, Slytherin nearly lost their best player." Andy commented.
"Yes, but it looks like that's no longer an issue." Jordon spoke next. "And wait, is that...yes, it is? The seekers are going for the snitch! They...oh no!" Jordon cried out.
"Slytherin wins!" Presier cheered.
"Harry, are you okay?" Tracey asked as the Slytherin team all landed on the pitch.
"I'm fine." Harry replied.
"You sure about that, Potter?" John Castle, one of the beaters, asked. "That bludger did chase you around quite a bit."
"It didn't even touch him," Frank Wick, the other beater, snorted. "Potter's an ace at quidditch, what I want to know is what he did to that bludger and why that bludger was chasing him?"
"All I did was hit the bludger with a simple 'Finite Incantatem'." Harry said, 'Finite Incantatem' being a simple spell that is used to end other spells.
"Genius!" Steve Barnes, the keeper of the team, grinned.
"Thanks," Harry smiled at him.
"So your spell cancelled whatever spell was messing with the bludger?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah," Harry nodded. "I think someone wanted me be injured."
"If not dead." Tracey said quietly, but everyone heard her
"Possibly, well...likely." Harry corrected himself. "I do have quite a few enemies."
"What? You think death eaters are responsible for this?" Ginny asked.
"No, I have a feeling someone else is responsible for this." Harry responded.
"Who?" Tracey frowned.
"Give me a moment, I'm about to confirm if my guess is right or not." Harry said as he spotted Dolores Umbridge approaching. "Hello Professor," Harry greeted her in a casual voice. "you're looking a little tired, would you like to sit down?" He asked in a seemingly sincere voice as he began diving into her mind.
"Mr Potter," Professor Umbridge said as she stopped a few feet away, a disturbing and wide smile on her face as her toad eyes looked at Harry like he was a particularly juicy fly that she wanted to eat. "I believe I just saw you take out your wand during a quidditch game, a clear violation of the rules. And if that was not bad enough, you also cast a spell at the bludger, which is school property, another violation. I'm afraid I must punish you." She said, looking positively gleeful about that idea.
"What?!" Tracey and the other members of the Slytherin team blurted out. They would have said more if Harry had not raised a hand, signalling them to be quiet.
"Is that so?" Harry said in an amused voice as he exited from her mind, pushing down the rage and anger he was currently feeling. Umbridge's smile faltered slightly at Harry's apparent disinterest in the situation, but she quickly brought it back up to full force.
"Yes, first, I think about two months of detention for breaking two rules, that would be a nice starting point, wouldn't you agree?" She said, she started giggling before she continued to talk. "Oh, and I am afraid that I will be banning you from quidditch, hand over your broom, Mr Potter." She ordered, holding out her hand expectantly. Harry stared at her and her outstretched hand for several seconds before suddenly looking away from her as he began snickering, surprising Umbridge and his furious teammates. "Mr Potter, what is so funny to you? Do you not grasp the seriousness of this situation?!" She said with disbelief in her voice.
"With all due respect, Professor, I believe I have a better grasp of it than you." Harry said, a smile on his face, though the twitch of his lips gave away the fact that he was trying to hold back his laughter.
"Enough of this nonsense, now hand me that broom!" She said, shaking her outstretched hand as if it would suddenly cause the broom to instantly appear in her hand. "Or else I double your detention!" She threatened.
"Professor Umbridge," Harry said, his gaze locked onto Umbridge as he handed Tracey his broom. "like I said, I believe I have a better grasp on the situation than you." Harry said as he walked over to Umbridge.
Umbridge took a step back when she saw Harry walking up to her, it was but a few seconds ago that she felt in charge. But that now felt like a long time ago, she watched as Potter walked towards her like a predator, his green eyes contrasted against his calm smile and expressed how clearly he would like to squash her, for a moment Umbridge was sure she saw a spark behind those eyes. Potter looked far more intimidating than any fifteen year old had the right to be.
"Professor," Harry said as stopped in front of her, due to the height difference between the two he was looking down at her, something that didn't really bother him, in fact he liked it a lot, especially due to his animalistic side thanks to being an animagus. No doubt his cat, tiger and sabertooth forms agreed with him. "that bludger attacked me."
"Potter, I..."
"As everyone saw, I acted in self-defence." Harry continued, talking as if she hadn't said a word. "Perhaps you are not entirely aware of all the quidditch rules, but using a wand in moments of extreme danger - such as when equipment is tampered with - is allowed. As for my spell, I simply used a simple counter spell, that's easy enough to fix if you're a compitent witch or wizard so perhaps you should get Professor Flitwick to take a look at it. As for my punishment, to punish me is to declare to all students that defending yourself is punishable by either the rules of the school and/or the magical government, neither looks good for you. If you do punish me then I will complain, not just to the deputy headmistress and headmaster, but also to every available newspaper I can find, not to mention the school board. And while we're here I might just find someone in the ministry I can complain to, just for fun. So, I will be joining my team mates in going to get changed. If you still want to punish me then feel free to inform me tomorrow and I'll gladly attend your detentions right after I let the whole of wizarding Britain know that the Minister's right hand woman likes to punish people for defending themselves." Harry smirked before walking off with his team mates following him, leaving a shaken and fuming Umbridge.
"Umbridge tried to kill you?!" A very, very, very angry Daphne exclaimed, the rest of the SW (they still hadn't changed the name) were all in various degrees of shock. For this particular meeting Harry had been sure to gather everyone from every year and house since he wanted everyone to hear what he had to say.
"Yep, she did." Harry confirmed with a nod. "And then when that didn't work she tried to have me punished instead."
"She's been doing that all year." Dean Thomas, a Gryffindor in Harry's year, pointed out with a frown. "She keeps trying to get you in detention."
"I know, the mad woman is fixated on him." Theo said. "And not in the good way."
"It's Umbridge, I would think her being fixated on him in the good way would be much more worrying." Blaise said with a frown.
"Why would she do that?" A first year Hufflepuff asked.
"Because of Fudge." Angela spoke up. "Fudge hates Harry, therefore she hates Harry."
"Yeah, she doesn't like the fact that I refuse to stop with my supposed lies about Voldemort being back." Harry said, looking slightly impressed when there were far less people flinching than before. "Umbridge is obsessed with Fudge, I'm sure if the man asked her nicely then she'd be willing to drop to her knees in front of the whole ministry, strip and..."
"Don't finish that sentence!" Tracey quickly said, looking quite green, as did a great many other students.
"Sorry," Harry said apologetically, grimacing as he did so. "I think my own junk actually shrivelled just a little bit there. Anyway, where was I?"
"Umbridge is a bitch that tried to kill you because of Fudge who is also a bitch." Jet supplied.
"Thanks Jet," Harry said before turning back to the group. "anyway, Umbridge tried to kill me because of Fudge."
"You think the Minister ordered Umbridge to kill you?" Hermione gasped quietly.
"No," Harry shook his head. "I believe that Umbridge acted by herself, partly to make her little 'fudge-cake' happy, but also because of her own desire to get rid of me."
"How do you know that?" A second year Gryffindor asked.
"Mate, I'm Harry Potter. Plus, it's really obvious when you think about it." Harry said as if that was all the answer that he needed to provide, thankfully that seemed to work on most of the students, which was a good thing since Harry didn't really want to start explaining how he began reading Umbridge's mind, not yet at least, he just knew that that would cause tons of problems and make them worried about him reading their minds. "Umbridge is not getting away with this." Harry said with a small grin on his face.
"What are you going to do?" Daphne asked, her eyes lighting up.
"I just need a few things." Harry replied.
"What?"
"I need a group of students, their timetables, Umbridge's timetable, a bunch of Zonko pranks, the Weasley twins, two bludgers, some milk and some jammy dodgers." Harry said in a serious voice.
"Why the last two?" Hestia Carrow asked.
"Because I'm thirsty and hungry." Harry answered honestly.
A.N: Hi guys, hope you liked the chapter, just want to say a few things.
Number the 1: A few chapters ago I asked everyone for a theme song for Harry, I got lots of good suggestions, but I just thought of one. How about the 'head of the table' theme song for Roman Regins? Like, can anyone else just imagine Harry calmly walking to a group of death eaters while twirling his wand in his hand while that music plays in the back ground? Or him fighting Voldemort while that plays in the background?
Number the 2: For those asking me about my other stories, don't worry, I will get around to them. Mostly because my OCD won't let me leave them alone for too long.
Number the 3: I'll be sticking with the name 'Silver Wolves/SW' for the group unless anyone can give me a better one, got the idea from ReaperOfBalance who had suggested something similar.
Now, a while back someone asked me if I could do a fic where Harry uses magic to dissapprove various religions and such with stuff like Jesus was a wizard and all that. I just want to say now that I don't think ever would do fics like that. If people do want to then that's up to them, but it's not the sort of thing that I wish to do. Here are three reasons why:
1) Firstly because I think we should respect all beliefs (providing they aren't harmful to everyone around them), for example religious people shouldn't be going around telling non-religious people that they're going to hell (or say the same thing to people with different religions), while an atheist shouldn't mock religious people and tell them their way of life is wrong or that their god is not real. Honestly, live and let live, that's all I'm saying. Treat each other with respect, be nice, it's not that hard.
2) This is fanfiction that I'm writing. If I wanted to discuss religion then there are better and more effective places where I can do it. I'm here to write stories because I enjoy it, not to make points that I don't believe I'm qualified to make. I'm not an expert on any form of religion, I'm just here to write stories, that it. There's a time and a place, and this is not it.
3) Besides, it'd be kind of hypocritical of me to bash people who believe in god when I am in fact a muslim.
Now guys, it's already past midnight where I am, so I'm going to go sleep. Goodnight, hope you enjoyed the chapter, and feel free to leave a review.
