Granger My Love

V - Dueling Club

You will be the one dueling, but harry can also speak parseltounge.

"Another goal for Slytherin! They lead Gryffindor 90 to 30." "Blimey! Astrix's got herself a rogue Bludger." Ron said, "That's been tampered with, that has." "I'll stop it." He took out his wand, "No! Even with a proper wand, it's too risky. You could hit Astrix." Hermione stopped him. "Training for the ballet, Lupin?" Malfoy asked "You'll never catch me, Lupin." he left for the snitch. "Have it your way then Malfoy!"

"Astrix Lupin has caught the Snitch." "Gryffindor wins!"

"Finite Incantatem!" The Bludger exploded, "Are you okay?" Hermione asked, "No. I think my arm is broken." Astrix responded "Not to worry, Astrix. I will fix that arm of yours straightaway." Lockhart said, "Not you." "the girl doesn't know what she's saying, This won't hurt a bit."

"Brackium Emendo!"

"Yes, well.." He took her wrist, it bended backwards "that can sometimes happen...but the point is...you can no longer feel any pain, and, very clearly, the bones are not broken." "Broken? There's no bones left." Harry said, "Much more flexible, though."

"Mr. Malfoy, stop making such a fuss. You can go. Out of my way." "Should have been brought straight to me, I can mend bones in a heartbeat, but growing them back..." "You will be able to, won't you?" Harry asked, "I'll be able to, certainly. But it'll be painful." Madame promfrey responded, "You're in for a rough night, Lupin, Regrowing bones is a nasty business." she haded Astrix a drink, "yuck.." she spat it out, 'What do you expect? Pumpkin juice?"

"kill. kill. Time to kill." "Hello." A voice said, "Dobby?" Harry asked, "uh, what is this? and who is this?" Astrix asked "thats dobby, he's a house elf." Harry responded, "Harry Potter should have listened to Dobby. Harry Potter and Astrix Lupin should have gone back home when he missed the train." "It was you. You stopped the barrier?" Astrix asked, "from letting Ron, me, Astrix through."

"Indeed. Yes, Ma'am." Dobby responded "You nearly got us expelled." "At least you would be away from here, Harry Potter and Astrix Lupin must go home, Dobby thought his Bludger would be enough to make Astrix Lupin see..." "Your Bludger? You made that Bludger chase after her?" Harry asked, "Dobby feels most aggrieved, sir. Dobby had to iron his hands." "You better clear off before her bones come back, or she might strangle you." Harry said, "Dobby is used to death threat, sir, Dobby gets them five times a day at home."

"I don't suppose you could tell me why you're trying to kill us?" Astrix asked, "Not kill you, sir. Never kill you, Dobby remembers how it was before Harry Potter triumphed...over He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. We house-elves were treated like vermin, sir. Of course, Dobby is still treated like vermin." "Why do you wear that thing, Dobby?" Astrix asked, "This, Ma'am? It is a mark of the house-elf's enslavement. Dobby can only be freed if his master presents him with clothes." "Listen, Listen! Terrible things are about to happen at Hogwarts. Harry Potter and Astrix Lupin must not stay here now that history..is to repeat itself."

"Repeat itself? You mean, this has happened before?" Astrix asked, "I shouldn't have said that." Dobby started to look around for something to hit himself with, "Bad Dobby! Bad! Stop it! Stop it, Dobby!" he finally stopped, "Tell me. When did this happen before? "Who's doing it now?" Harry asked, "Dobby cannot say, sir. Dobby only wants Harry Potter and Astrix Lupin to be safe." Dobby responded, "No, Dobby. Tell us, Who is it?"

"Hey, Scarhead, look." Astrix pointed to some teachers and dumbledore going to the hospital wing. "lets go." Harry walked to the hospital wing, "Put him here. What happened?" Promfrey asked, "There's been another attack." Dumbledore responded, "I think he's been Petrified, Madam Pomfrey." "Look. Perhaps he managed to take a picture of his attacker." "What can this mean, Albus?" she asked, "It means... that our students are in great danger." Harry and Astrix looked at each other in fear. "oh this is such bullshit." Astrix said, "What should I tell the staff?" Promfrey asked, "The truth, Tell them Hogwarts is no longer safe." Dumbledore responded, "It is as we feared, Minerva. The Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again."

THE NEXT DAY
February 18, 1992

"Again? You mean the Chamber of Secrets has been opened before?" Hermione asked, "Of course, Don't you see?" Harry asked, "Lucius Malfoy must have opened it when he was at school here. Now he's taught Draco how to do it." Astrix continued, "but we'll have to wait for the Polyjuice Potion to know for sure." Harry said, "Enlighten me. Why are we brewing this potion in broad daylight... in the middle of the girls' lavatory? Don't you think we'll get caught?" Ron asked, "No. No one ever comes in here." Astrix responded "Why?" Harry asked, "Moaning Myrtle." Hermione responded, "Whos Moaning Myrtle?" Ron asked, "I'm Moaning Myrtle, I wouldn't expect you to know me. Who would ever talk about ugly, miserable... moping Moaning Myrtle?" she asked, "She's a little sensitive." Astrix responded, "its almost time for Lockharts class, lets go." Hermione asked,

"hey moony! are you okay?" Harry asked. "yeah, a little tired. thats all." Astrix responded, "i was just wondering, is there any potion to cancel out the whole werewolf thing?" Harry asked, "no.. but there is wolfsbane. it allows me to keep my human brain when im a werewolf, but its hard to make. im learning how to make one right now." Astrix responded, "what are you guys talking about?" Ron asked, "sorry ron, private business." Harry responded.

"Gather round! Gather round, Can everybody see me? Can you all hear me?" Lockhart asked, "Excellent, In light of the dark events of recent weeks... Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this Dueling Club, to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves as I myself have done on countless occasions. For full details, see my published works."

"Let me introduce my assistant... Professor Snape. He has sportingly agreed to help with a short demonstration. I don't want any of you youngsters to worry, You'll still have your Potions master when I'm through with him. Never fear."

"One. Two. Three!" "Expelliarmus!" Lockhart sprung backwards, "that isnt supposed to happen." Ron said, "smart, very smart." Astrix responded "Do you think he's all right?" Harry asked, "Who cares?" Astrix responded

"An excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape... but if you don't mind me saying, it was obvious what you were about to do. If I had wanted to stop you, it would have been only too easy." Lockhart said, "Perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students... to block unfriendly spells, professor." Snape suggested, "An excellent suggestion, Professor Snape. Let's have a volunteer pair. Lupin, Weasley, how about you?" Lockhart asked, "Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells. We'll be sending Lupin, to the hospital wing in a matchbox. Might I suggest someone from my own house? Malfoy, perhaps?" Snape said.
