Childhood Friend (A Harry Potter Fan-Fiction) Book 2 Harry Potter X Male OC

Chapter 5: A Letter You Never Want To Recive

At the Gryffindor Table, Hermione as her nose buried in Gilderoy Lockharts Travels with Trolls. Ron runs gobs of Spellotape over his broken wand, shakes his head grimly.

"Do you fancy Lockhart?" I asked Hermione

She took her head out the book and glared at me. "I do not"

I shrugged. "Whatever you say...Mrs.Lockhart" I smirked.

She closes the book and hits me with it.

"Ow!"

Harry laughed as Ron looked at his wand.

"Say it. I'm doomed." Ron said

"You're doomed" Harry and I said in unison

Then a flash of light flashed at Harry and me, the light blinds me. I blink and find a small boy standing before Harry with a camera.

"Hiya, Leon, Harry. I'm Colin Creevey. I'm in Gryffindor too."

"Hi, Colin"

"Hello, Colin. Nice to meet-"

"They're for my dad— the pictures. He's a milkman, you know, a Muggle, like all our family's been until me. No one knew all the odd stuff I could do was magic till we got my letter from Hogwarts. Everyone just thought I was mental." The boy said nervously and fast

"Imagine that." Ron says

"Say, Harry, Leon. D'you think your friend could take a photo of me and you guys standing together? Ya' know, to prove I've met you guys?" Colin says

We both glance at Ron. He looks positively homicidal. Mercifully, just then, owls stream into the hall.

"Post is here!" Dean announced

One after another, the owls swoop gracefully down, clutching letters from home. All except one, who plops beak-first into Ron's soup. Errol.

"Bloody birds a menace"

"Hey, I love Errol!" I said defense and pet Ezekiel

"Oh...no." Ron said scared

"Heads up, everyone. Weasley's and Elliott's gotten themselves a howler." Seamus said

"Go on, Ron. I ignored one from my Gran once... and it was horrible." Neville says

Ron looked pale I still was confused. Clutched in Errol's and beak is a damp red envelope I was holding mine watching Ron. Ron hands was shaking, he takes it, opens it, and Mrs.Weasleys voice thunders, sending plates and spoons rattling and my eyes opens wide.

"RONALD WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED! YOUR FATHER'S NOW FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK AND ITS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME!"

"Oh, and Ginny dear. Congratulations on making Gryffindor. Your father and I are so proud of you." Her voice was softener. Ginny was sitting a bit apart from us, she looks up shyly, then returned to a small black book she was scrabbling in. I watched the envelope rip itself to pieces, then endures howls of laughter from other house tables.

"Look at it this way. How much worse can things get?" Harry says reassuring

"I know, Hermione drooling over Lockhart"

Hermione glared at me and I smiled

"I do not like Lockhart"

"I do not like Lockhart. Because I love Lockhart, he sooo dreamy, and ugh his smile is so-"

She hits me in the head with the book

"Ow!!"

"Maybe, if I hit you again, you'll become smarter"

I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
