Harry Potter and the Legacy of the Light: A Harry Potter/The Dark Is Rising Sequence Crossover

The CONDENSED EDITION -- Chapters Eleven Through Seventeen
By: Gramarye


HARRY: Of course we have Potions as our first class, just to start off the snarking straightaway.
DRACO: Ha ha, Potter, you suck!
HARRY: Eleven chapters -- y'know, I was wondering when you were going to show up.
DRACO: Just to prove how awful and nasty Slytherins are, I'll insult the dead.
HERMIONE: You're not nearly important enough to this story, so bugger off.
DRACO: Ooh, I'll get you next time, Potter!
RON: Heads up, all, it's everyone's favourite quasi-reformed Death Eater!
SNAPE: Grar, Longbottom, why aren't you cringing and wetting yourself yet?
NEVILLE: Bite me, greasy git.
SNAPE: .......
NEVILLE: ........
SNAPE: ...........
NEVILLE: ..........
GRYFFINDORS/SLYTHERINS: The HELL?!
SNAPE: ....er, yes, well, right, I think I'm going to go and be over here now for a bit GET TO WORK ALL OF YOU!
HARRY: Yes, Neville, why aren't you cringing and wetting yourself yet?
HERMIONE: Honestly, Harry, didn't you read "Town and Gown"?
MRS FIGG: On a related note, welcome to Defence Against the Dark Arts, the class which never fails to give new meaning to the term 'equal opportunity employment'.
RON: Hey, what about Quidditch?
HARRY: Not yet, we've got to meet another minor character.
NATALIE McDONALD: HelloI'llbetakingoverColinCreevey'srole!
HARRY: Uh-oh.
NATALIE McDONALD: Hermione'sjustthebestestandprettiestandsmartestpersonevershe'ssocool!
HERMIONE: Yes...well, on that note, I think it's time for a creepy and ominous dream sequence.
WORMTAIL: Boo.
HARRY: Gah!
WORMTAIL: Harry, I am your...no, wait that joke's been done to death.
HARRY: *wakes up*
RON: Now that you're awake, Harry, let's see if I've got this straight -- either someone injected Skele-Gro into Neville's spine this summer, or he's evil.
HERMIONE: Ron, you'll pull a muscle one of these days if you don't stretch before you make those leaps of logic.
HARRY: Look, do you have a better explanation?
HERMIONE: I'm sure that you'll be getting one soon enough from Will.
WILL: *reshelves books omnisciently*
HARRY: Hermione's worried about Natalie and Ron's worried about her, so I'm just going to stay put and OW DAMN IT MY SCAR!
WILL: You're...not the only one...in pain here.
HARRY: What do I do?
SNAPE: Interfere in my business, as usual.
HARRY: Bite me, greasy git.
SNAPE: *throws Harry against a wall*
HARRY: ...but it worked for Neville....ow....
HERMIONE: Harry, no time to be unconscious, we've got plot to reveal!
RON: And Neville's still evil, I think!
WILL: No, he's not.
HARRY: Huh?
WILL: Mr Potter, didn't you read "Town and Gown"?
NEVILLE: I'm not evil, I'm misunderstood.
WILL: And then there were four and all that, but now it's time for me to demonstrate my magic and remind you of why I'm in this story in the first place.
RON: STUPEFY!
WILL: *yawns*
RON: *crumples*
HARRY/HERMIONE/NEVILLE: DAMN.
RON: *comes to*
HARRY: Just in case you'd thought we'd forgotten about Quidditch, Ron's on the team and Colin's a reserve, so we can get on with things.
RON: And Mum's invited you home for Christmas, too.
DUMBLEDORE: But you can't go because I said so.
HERMIONE: Since I stayed at Hogwarts too, Harry, let's sneak up to the Astronomy Tower and pointedly not snog!
WILL: Thank heavens I didn't walk in on any snogging.
HARRY: So what do we do up here?
WILL: Sing carols, of course.
HARRY: Oh.
WILL/HERMIONE: 'Hark how the bells jingle all the first nowell the angels we have heard on Christmas day in the morning!'
HARRY: Awesome.
WILL: Care to pick the last one, Miss Granger?
HERMIONE: If you don't mind the eerie significance of the carol I choose.
WILL: Sometimes I think my entire life is one big, massive eerie significance.
HARRY: What?
WILL: Oh, go back to sleep.
WILL/HERMIONE: *sing an eerily significant Christmas carol involving watchmen and metaphors*
WILL: Well, I hope you have a happy Christmas, at least.
HARRY/HERMIONE: Happy Christmas, Will.
GRAMARYE: Enjoy it while it lasts, my poppets.
