Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

Report Problem

Several long seconds passed before Ron burst out, "That was great! Almost as good as the first time you dealt with that snake back on the train!"

Neville nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's really great to see you stand up to him. Usually he is always talking down to everyone. It's nice to see him get the same back every once in a while."

Harry just grinned and slapped Neville on the back, clearly taking him off guard as the pudgy boy flinched away, but then gave a tentative smile back to Harry as he listened. "Hey, you can do it too. Bad Faith over there is just a bunch of hot air. He has been told his whole life how great he is, but he doesn't actually have anything to back it up."

The two other boys and several of the surrounding Gryffindors who had been eagerly listening in laughed and nodded along. Though if they would ever have the courage to stand up to the bully themselves remained to be seen.

Once the laughter died down, Hermione hesitantly added, "Well, I guess so...But you really shouldn't have threatened him like that. What if a teacher had heard you? You could have gotten in a lot of trouble."

In response Harry shrugged before giving an expression of such intense innocence that no one would ever possibly believe it was real. "Threaten him? When did I do that? I just offered to show him what I learned in transfiguration today. I thought he might have wanted some tips." Unable to hold the expression any longer, he broke down laughing before continuing, "Besides, no harm done, right? You need to learn to relax a little and have some fun Hermione."

If her huff of annoyance meant anything, Hermione wasn't convinced, but Harry did note the small, almost invisible smile she couldn't quite conceal.
