Born From Madness (Harry Potter Fanfic)

143

After an hour, Hermione and Ron soon made their rounds (which Ron had invited Jordan to come over to meet Harry) and made their way to find Harry. Soon they found Harry in a cart with Ginny, Neville and a Ravenclaw they were introduced to as Luna Lovegood. They hadn't even arrived when Ron went telling Harry the whole details of what Jordan did to Malfoy. 

"She was brilliant! He soon kept his mouth shut afterwards. She's going to come around hopefully for you meet her!" Ron said to Harry. 

"I can't believe Malfoy is a prefect," Harry mumbled, "So who's Hufflepuff?" 

"Ernie Macmillan and Hannah Abbott," Ron said, "and Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil for Ravenclaw." 

"You went to the Yule Ball with Padma Patil," Luna said, "she didn't enjoy it very much. She doesn't think you treated her very well, because you wouldn't dance with her. I don't think I'd have minded. I don't like to dancing much." 

Then she retreated behind The Quibbler. Everyone was a bit confused before Ron continued. 

"We're supposed to patrol the corridors every so often and we can give out punishments if people are misbehaving. I can't wait to get Crabbe and Goyle for something..." 

"You're not supposed to abuse your position, Ron!" Hermione told him sharply. 

"Oh, like Malfoy won't abuse it at all?" 

"So you're going to descend to his level?" 

"I would," a voice echoed from behind. Hermione and Ron turned to see Jordan walking up to them, "I suggest making Goyle do lines. It would kill him, he hates writing. Can you imagine it," She lowered her voice and screwed her face in a look of pained concentration, "I... must... not... look... like... a... baboon's...  backside..." 

Everyone burst out laughing at her joke. 

"That's a good one, Jordan!" Luna mumbled between giggles. 

"Oh! Hey Luna! Didn't see you there, how's your dad been doing?" Jordan asked. As Luna and Jordan were having their own conversation, Hermione peered down to see Jordan still clinging to the magazine that even Luna was reading, herself. There was a bad cartoon of Cornelius Fudge with one of his hands clenching around a bag of gold and the other hand throttling a goblin with the caption of How Far Will Fudge Go To Gain Gringotts? Then beneath the cartoon were other titles of articles: 

CORRUPTION IN THE QUIDDITCH LEAGUE: HOW THE TORNADOS ARE TAKING CONTROL? 

SECRETS OF THE ANCIENT RUNES REVEALED

SIRUS BLACK: VILLAIN OR VICTIM? 

"Hey can I have a look at this?" Hermione asked Jordan. 

"Sure," she said, handing it over to Hermione. Hermione opened it as she landed on the article marked Sirius-- Black As He's Painted? Notorious Mass Murderer OR Innocent Singing Sensation? Hermione proceeded to read on about Sirius might be the lead singer of the group known as Hobgoblins and that his real name is actually Stubby Boardman. She then proceeded down to read the article about Fudge and how he was supposedly trying to take over Gringotts. 

"Anything good in there?" Harry asked Hermione. 

"Of course not," Ron blurted out, "Mum says it's rubbish and everyone knows that," 

"HEY!" Jordan shot at Ron before lightly slapping his shoulder. 

"Excuse me," Luna said, losing her dreamy quality to it, "My father's the editor," 

"Oh," Ron mumbled, "Sorry--- it's got some interesting--" 

Ron completely went red in the face as Jordan chuckled.
