The Potter Problem (Drarry)

Chapter 17

* I know, I suck. But here ya go*

Ginny Weasley sat in the library going over simple levitation charms with a group of first years. They were trying to show her the wand motions, but she just couldn't get it. It seemed like since she lost her memory, she couldn't do anything even remotely close to magic. Not even a simple hand motion! She sighed, frustrated, and stood up. Excusing herself, she left the library in search of something to eat. She walked down the hall, turning the corner, only to be pulled into a closet with the door slamming shut behind her.

"I didn't do it I swear!" He said staring into Snape's cold eyes. Snape watched him intently, a look of malice in his eyes.

"Get out." He growled at the poor, terrified second year, who bolted out of the room.

"Damn it!" Snape yelled, slamming his fist on the table. The bottles of Veritaserem shook with the force, a small amount of the valuable liquid spilling onto the smooth table. Snape sighed, grabbing a rag to wipe up the small mess. They were already running out of Veritaserem, and they hadn't even gotten through half of the student body yet. He put the remaining Veritaserem in the cupboard, spelled it shut, and headed for a meeting in Dumbledor's office.

"I believe we should punish the student body as a whole, if a certain.... Method, isn't working." Umbridge spoke haughtily. She twisted the hot pink ring around her finger. "Maybe another professor should take over instead?" She continued, glaring at Snape before turning to smile sweetly at Dumbledor.

"Umbridge... You are a newer staff member here. I believe it would be best to leave this process to someone more.. accustomed to working with children." He said in a rasping voice. He smiled, but his eyes challenged her.

"Well, why don't we see what the Minister of Magic thinks of this, shall we?" She asked.

"Very well, you are excused." Dumbledor dismissed her, ignoring the indignant huff she gave as she left the room.

"Snape, how much of the potion is left?"

"Not enough, sir. We need to find a way to make more potion quicker than it is being produced right now." Snape said grimly.

"What if, and this is just a thought, we employed some of your more successful students to brew the potion during their free time? They could be rewarded with an extra trip to Hogsmeade or it could take place of their science classes." Dumbledor suggested.

Snape didn't like the idea of kids missing out on his class, but he admitted he needed extra help brewing the potion. He told Dumbledor he would go through his records, and come back with a list of names soon. And with that, he left, his robes flapping behind him, determined to find out who did it to the Weasley girl.

"Steady. Keep your focus on the objective, what you want to happen. If you are thinking about something that isn't the spell, it won't work. This is a simple charm that works well for stunning, so don't be afraid to put a lot of power behind it. Fred, George, you're up." Fred and George stepped up, getting into stance and readying their wands.

"Harry, when do we-"

"Stupify!" George was knocked back by the force of the spell, hitting him square in the chest. He groaned, standing up from the metal grate to give his laughing brother a scowl.

"You bloody twat." Fred laughed, getting back in line with his brother as Neville and Luna got into stance.

"Alright, on my count. Three, two, one.. Go!" Harry said, watching as Neville flew backwards and hit the floor.

"Hmm. That was not as exciting as I was expecting." Luna said simply, walking over and reaching out a hand to help Neville up. He gave her a crooked smile, and grabbed her hand, standing up. She smiled back at him and they rejoined the line.

"Very well done, everyone. That's all the time we have for today, so meet back here Thursday and we will work on disarming spells." Said Harry, and the class broke off into conversation. Harry walked over to join Neville and Luna, who were discussing (much to Harry's amusement) which plants helped in the growth of mythical creatures. "Really nice job today you guys. You are both coming so far along." They smiled at him as he left to find Hermione. They had something serious to discuss.

"Have you heard of the muggle story Peter Pan?" Harry asked, looking over at his favorite blond.

"No?" Draco gave him a strange look, closing his potions book and looking over at Harry.

"Well, it's this fairytale where a boy named Peter Pan comes to a window chasing his shadow, and he and some kids fly to Neverland and fight a pirate. So what if for Halloween, we went as Peter and his shadow?"

Draco thought for a moment, before smiling. "Hey, that's kind of cute! Wouldn't people catch on? I mean it's kind of a couples costume." Harry thought for a moment, before shaking his head.

"Well, not many wizards know the story, and if they do, I don't think they would think anything of it." Draco nodded, he could see Harry had a point.

"Well, can I at least read the story?" Harry smiled, an idea forming in his mind.

"How about we watch the movie?" Harry suggested. Draco furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Harry in confusion.

"Harry, what's a movie?" Harry flicked his wand, and a television appeared above the fireplace, and a remote on the table.  "What the hell is that?"  Harry smiled again. Snuggling up to Draco and picking up the remote. With the click of a button, the T.V. clicked on, and the images appeared. Draco's face lit up, and Harry snuggled closer. Draco wrapped his arm around him and Harry rested his head on the blond's shoulder. And for once, he felt truly, genuinely, happy.
