Pranks and Prefects

The meeting started, Draco was utterly furious, not just by what Potter had said. But also because the others were still trying not to laugh, ten minutes after he had said it, and the fact that Pansy looked disappointed that Potter had chosen the blood traitor over her. After the meeting ended, Harry and Ginny were the first out, they went back to their compartment where the twins were waiting. They closed the door and fell to their seats laughing.

They told the twins what had happened and they joined them laughing, even more so when Draco walked by and walked as far away from Crabbe as possible, Harry quickly got out his two way mirror and contacted Sirius who was there with Remus. He told his two role models what happened and Sirius had given a laughing Remus the mirror, Harry was very sure that Sirius had collapsed laughing.

"We're proud of you Harry" Remus said through the mirror "that was truly brilliant. Padfoot agrees but he laughed so hard he literally turned into a dog, now, sorry to ruin the moment but I should let you know that a concern has come up. We have received news that Dolores Umbridge is the new defence teacher.

She may not be a death eater but she is as good as one, it's widely known that she despises all none pureblood beings. In fact she's behind most of the anti-werewolf laws that the ministry currently enforce." Harry and Ginny growled, they could have sworn they heard Sirius growl as well.

"Yes" Remus continued "she's also widely hated throughout the ministry, it appears that the minister is fond of her for some reason. She's likely here on behalf of the ministry, be careful what you say around her, one wrong word and she'll be convinced your conspiring against the ministry."

"You'll recognise her" Sirius showed his face again "she'll be the one dressed in pink who looks like a toad"

"Padfoot" Remus replied "don't say that, that's offensive….to toads"

"Yeah: Sirius snorted "point is be careful"

"This woman" Harry replied "would you say she's smart?"

"Not really" Sirius and Remus responded at the exact same time

"Excellent" Harry smiled "the best idiots are the ones you can prank, what's even better are the ones you can use"

"What?" Remus said before having a sudden moment of realisation "Harry James Potter, you are a genius"

"Thank you" Harry smiled "I like to think I got it from mum and you" Remus blushed

"What about me?" Sirius asked

"Well I clearly got Dads looks but who do you think I inherited my skill with girls and pranking from"

"Ah that's good" Sirius exclaimed "I'd gladly be known for giving you that. But seriously what did you mean by ones you can use"

"We got to go" Ginny spoke once she saw the castle "Remus can explain it to you"

"Fine" Sirius replied "Harry I want you to try and have fun this year, remember that life is nothing without a bit of fun, Ginny I'm assigning you with the task of looking after my godson"

"So keep doing what I've been doing" Ginny cheekily replied

"Good girl" Sirus smiled "see you guys later"

Soon everyone arrived at the great hall, the foursome sat with Neville. Dumbledore stood up, he looked at Harry who smiled at him as if nothing had gone wrong. Dumbledore was admittedly a bit angry, Dumbledore was certain that Voldermort had returned but Potter never joined him in telling people. He couldn't work out why he didn't want to tell people, he didn't look too shaken up and Harry seemed like the type to do something about it.

Dumbledore began his speech, he noticed that Potter looked quite bored, halfway through he was interrupted.

"Hem, hem!" Someone coughed, a woman with curly hair stood up. She walked from the head table and stood in front of Dumbledore.

Harry and Ginny took in her appearance, she was wearing so much pink that even a five year old girl would be sickened by it. He noticed the disgusted looks she was getting from the head of houses, and frankly Harry couldn't blame them if half of what he had heard about this woman was true. Harry looked at her wide hips, small eyes and massive jaw, so did Ginny.

'Toad' They both thought at the exact same time. Remus was always one for accuracy. The toad began her speech but Harry and Ginny ignored her, by the end of it they looked up to see many people were doing the same thing or at least wishing they were somewhere else. At the end of the speech Dumbledore dismissed everyone.

"First years with us" Harry and Ginny called, they lead the first years to the common room and told them where they were stating and the rules of Hogwarts.

"Now remember" Harry spoke "if you ever need any help with anything, like homework or if there is any trouble then you can come to us two if you can't find a teacher. We'll deal with it for you and help you as best as we can and tell the teachers on your behalf. Any questions?" A few raised their hands

"And before anyone says anything, yes, he is the real Harry Potter" Ginny spoke, she was quite amused when most of them put their hands down. They answered a few questions before sending the first years off to sleep. They went out of the common room and went to the room of requirement, the elves were preparing a room for married couples for them and the two had decided to stay in the room of requirement until it was ready.

While those two were having their 'pre-sleep ritual', another two were heading towards McGonagall's office. They knocked and upon hearing permission to come inside they did. McGonagall was busy preparing her lesson plans when she heard a knock, then inside came none other than Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley.

"Can I help you?"

"Professor" Ron spoke first "we were wondering something" When he didn't say anymore McGonagall spoke

"Mr Weasley, I can assure you that mind reading is not one of my many talents, so it would be beneficial for you to tell me what has brought you to my office"

"Well miss" Hermione spoke next "we were actually wondering about the prefects"

"Yeah" Ron nodded "why does 'perfect potter' get the prefect position and how on earth does my sister get chosen over Hermione?"
