Harry Potter: Go To Hell

The only classroom he still had his desk at the back of the class was Transfigurations but even there, the rest of the students in the class kept the Unholy duo away from him. Oh, the desk was still there in his other classes but he was no longer being left alone at it. Always one of them would try to sit next to him only to be cut off at the pass by the other students. One of whom would generally take the free seat beside him. His desk in Transfiguration was different in that it would only seat one. So there was no possibility of sharing space with him there.

But still, he was lonely. Not that Granger ever tried to sit next to him in Transfigurations. His desk was too far away from the teacher's desk and unlike Severus, Professor McGonagal rarely left her desk at the front of the room. So how could Granger show off if she was positioned too far from the teacher's eye for her to notice? Therefore, she always sat at the front of the room at the desk directly in front of the teacher's desk.

The only place Harry knew he could go other than his rooms and to class was the library. He didn't play quiditch any more and had no interest in visiting the pitch where once he had fooled himself into thinking he was just like any other boy his age. Nor did he want to just take his broom and go flying.

Ok, that was a lie. He did want to fly. He missed flying. Missed it a lot. But it just wasn't worth the risk. Worth the trouble he'd be in if the wrong person saw him. Worth dealing with his old quiditch team who wanted him to fly with them again now that his name had once again been cleared. Worth McGonagal's snide comments and hissing. Worth Dumbledore's so called gentle admonishments.

Nor was it worth having them both realize he still had something he cherished and plotting as to how they could take it away from him unless he did as they wished. And Harry knew McGonagal was just as guilty of doing that as Dumbledore was. He wouldn't have gotten away with his tactics for as long as he had without her blind and willing assistance and compliance. Because why put him back on the team every year just to kick him off again after the first game if his love of flying wasn't a weapon in their hands? No better to never fly here again then to take the chance of them realizing how very much he loved it and how just because he wasn't on the team didn't mean he didn't still have his broom. He could easily see both of them trying to confiscate it from him.

Even his trips to the library were carefully planned so as to avoid the notice of the Headmaster and his deputy. The last thing Harry needed was to be restricted to only being able to use it when his enemies were lying in wait for him. And he totally knew both would do it in a heartbeat if they could get away with it.

Especially if they thought he'd be miserable because of it. Which he would be since Granger would be policing his reading material and Weasely would be trying to distract him the entire time with something stupid and irrelevant. They probably even bring the trollop along just to further embarrass and humiliate him because of course she'd be hanging all over him making a display out of herself and him in her efforts to convince everyone she really wasn't the harlot he'd called her.

McGonagal would do it because she wanted to punish Harry for what she saw as him acting outside his authority while at the same time force him to deal with and apologize to her favorite students. Harry had no idea she no longer thought Harry was the one needing to apologize. She hadn't tried to talk with him since the Marking or done anything to make him think her attitude about him had changed. So as far as he was concerned she wanted him to grovel to her chosen favorites and he had no intention of doing so.

Dumbledore would do it because he'd totally believe Harry should be able to undo the magic he had cast upon them and because it would get Harry back under the control of his bought and paid for spies. And that was something Dumbledore needed if he was to continue trying to get Harry into a situation he couldn't get out of without help.

 In that thought Harry was almost correct. If Dumbledore realized Harry had marked his little patsies he would be trying to make Harry undo the marking and apologize to them while promising never to do it again. But so far Dumbledore hadn't been in the Castle enough to hear any of the rumors or meet with his children. And so he still didn't know the truth.

Harry had considered using the same judgment spell on them as well as the Trio but he wasn't sure it would work and the last thing he needed was to invoke the old magic of the spell only to have it backfire on him because magic didn't find he had just cause. Or because they completely believed they hadn't done anything for which they should feel guilt over. He had studied the magic enough to know the accused had to feel they had done something wrong for the magic to work.
