Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

"Yes and you've proved to be a constant danger" Snape sneered "fortunately you've only ever attacked Potter who can handle himself, however the argument could be made as to what happens if you direct your anger on some of the more helpless students." Ron paled "I can promise you that we all wished to seriously punish you from the first time you attacked Potter"

"So why didn't you?" Hermione asked

"Ten points for speaking out if turn" Snape replied "and the reason Granger is because each time we did Potter insisted we lower the punishment"

"What?" Ron looked at Harry "why?!"

"Sadly for Ginny you are her brother" Harry replied "if you got expelled then it would make your home awkward for Ginny, you'd be a pile of rage and lash out at everyone and your mum would be furious and that would also affect everyone. And seeing as I can't live there and stop that I don't want Ginny to go through that"

"You noble idiot" Ginny hugged him

"Bull!" Ron exclaimed "you can't actually believe all that?"

"Well then Ronald" Ginny narrowed her eyes "give me a good reason as to why Harry helped you"

"He probably wants me in his debt or something like that"

"Weasley the only way you'd be of any use to me is if I needed a dummy to practice spells on"

"Enough!" McGonagall interrupted "Mr Weasley as a punishment for your fighting you will be placed in detention every day until then end of the year. As a tournament champion we cannot expel you however if this behaviour continues then next year we will certainly not hesitate to do so. You are all dismissed"

And so everyone left, at dinner the twins and Neville sat with Harry and Ginny while Hermione and Ron sat as far away as possible. Ron, as usual was in a foul mood. Potter had just beat him up and got away with it, again. To be fair he wasn't any happier about the fact that the only person he could sit with was just one of the infinite amount of girls who wanted to be with Harry Potter. He just couldn't work put where everything went wrong.

He was supposed to enter this tournament and become famous and respected amongst Hogwarts, but it all went tits up when Potter joined as well. Fleur and Victor immediately hated him and sided with Harry, just like everyone else. Potter had even got the rest of the Weasleys to hate him. His brothers and dad sided with him while he made his mum constantly naged at him.

Ron was supposed to fly through this tournament, win the prize money, be famous and have tons of girls wanting to be with him. In the first task he got eliminated nearly instantly and injured as well while Harry won in the fastest time. Ron to this day is still hearing girls talking about how 'stunning Harry's body is', it's not like Ron's body was fat or anything. He just wasn't a lanky twit like Harry, then in the second task he was completely unprepared, partly because he never won his own egg but also because Potter refused to share his. No sooner than it started Potter showed off and walked on water in front of everyone, Ron was convinced he was cheating; problem was he couldn't prove it. Soon the third task was coming, this would be his last chance.

Hermione sat, glancing between Harry and her food. She felt conflicted, a part of her wanted to be with Harry and the other part said absolutely not. The first part argued that he was handsome, powerful, rich and would greatly benefit her in the magical world. However the other part had recently become much stronger. It struck her that Harry never liked her at her first year, he thought she was a bossy bitch and in her second year he thought she was a bossy bitch, in her third year he also thought she was a bossy bitch and now in her fourth year he still maintains that she is a bossy bitch.

Hermione knows she could have gone about it better but no matter what Harry never fell to her advances, it seems that all girls who aren't Ginny are just second class to him. She was also rather concerned if Harry was still on Dumbledore's side. Everyone knows he's dangerous, he has a pet snake, he's very influential in and out of Hogwarts and it's no secret that he's really powerful. Many people were saying that Harry could be the next dark lord if he wanted to be, the more Hermione thought about it she realized it was entirely possible.

He regularly defies Dumbledore, he nearly killed Malfoy in his second year, he was about to kill Malfoy in his third, he's resistant to love potions, he makes nearly everyone like him and he threw off the imperious curse like it was nothing. Hermione became very concerned, everyone knew that Ginny was the only one who could control Harry. Hermione initially thought it could be transferrable to whoever was his girlfriend or whoever he liked or respected but it became clear that the power solely belonged to Ginny. Hermione felt like she should pay attention to the two and see what happens, if anything of concern comes up she would report to Dumbledore.

"Harry" Ginny spoke softly "could you…" Before Ginny could speak Harry already handed her the tissue she wanted "Ah…thank you"

"We could have so much fun with that" Harry smiled mischievously

"I know imagine us just doing everything together in perfect sync with no words and nobody understanding why"
