A Plan in the Shadows

Red eyes got to his feet when Harry kipped up and struck him with a head butt to the face, the two of them staggered back, they shook their heads then ran at each other. Red eyes slid on the floor and tried to kick Harry's legs, but he missed as Harry flipped over him. The two got back to their feet and turned to each other.

Red eyes tried to kick Harry in the face, but he ducked and spun around before hitting Red eyes in the face with a spinning kick, he followed it up with a jumping spinning kick. He jumped in the air and span about two times before the kick connected, Red eyes was pushed closer to the cupboard.

Harry removed the knife from his midsection and rushed towards Red eyes, Red eyes tried to strike Harry in the face with a right hook but Harry ducked and jammed the knife straight into Red eye's heart, causing the whole class to gasp again. Harry, took a step back, he then struck Red eyes with a side kick strong enough to push him back into the cupboard.

The cupboard door closed and the cupboard itself fell back and landed on the ground, the door opened and the class was worried that red eyes was going to come out again. That fear was quickly squashed by Harry who punched Red eyes in the face, and pushed him back in, Harry hit the cupboard door with a locking charm and sat on it. He looked towards Remus who was clutching his sides and the knife.

"You alright Moony?" Harry asked

"Better than you" Moony replied as Daphne and Rose made their way over to Harry

"Harry, oh my god, we need to get you to hospital wing!" Daphne grabbed his right arm and Rose grabbed his left, the two helped him up to his feet

"What about Remus? He got stabbed too" Harry said, a few of the girls in the room swooned at the way Harry cared more his teachers health than his own.

"We'll get him" Theodore Nott said as he and Blaise Zabini helped Lupin up

"Come on Harry" Daphne said, leading him out of the class room "I hope your happy!" She spat to Adrian who watched as Harry was lead out, most of the class turned and began glaring at Adrian

"Adrian" Came Remus Lupin's voice "expect to be punished soon"

...

In the hospital wing, Remus Lupin was in a bed next to Harry's bed. Daphne and Rose sat in-between the two.

"So" Harry killed the silence "that was a pretty good lesson if we forget the part where I nearly died"

"I'm sorry Harry" Remus apologised "I…"

"It's alright Remus" Harry waved him off

"I tried to stop it but you two were so fast and I could barley lock on to him with the speed that you two were moving at"

"Don't blame yourself Professor" Daphne said "I barley registered all that happened until Harry pushed me out of the way"

"Madam Pomfrey said we should be fine soon enough" Remus said as Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape entered the room.

"Remus, are you alright?" McGonagall asked with concern in her voice

"I'm fine" Remus assured her "I'm more worried about Harry"

"What happened to Mr Potter?" Snape asked

"I'll tell you what happened!" Daphne stood up and glared at Dumbledore "You're bloody golden boy tried to kill him!"

"That is a serious accusation Miss Greengrass" Dumbledore said

"Well it's true, because of your golden boy, the professor and Harry are in hospital"

"Miss Greengrass" Snape interrupted before Dumbledore could respond "it would help if we knew exactly what happened"

"I will explain" Remus said, he explained everything that happened in the classroom "Harry shoved his rather violent boggart into the cupboard and then we ended up here"

"Mr Potter, are you alright?" Snape asked

"Fine, Pomfrey fixed me right up" Harry answered "oh, and Professor Dumbledore"

"Yes Harry?"

"I'm cancelling those lessons"

"Mr Potter, please reconsider" Dumbledore replied "those lessons could be valuable for your brother"

"I don't care" Harry replied "I accepted in the first place because I had some hope that my brother wasn't a total idiot, he rather ruined that for me today"

"I thought you accepted for the money" McGonagall interrupted

"What? Oh no, that was just me taking an opportunity to make some money" Harry calmly replied, McGonagall and Dumbledore dropped their jaws while Snape looked away to hide his smirk. "Either way, the lessons are off"

"Mr Potter, please" Dumbledore began "I think…"

"No" Harry interrupted "as of the moment I'm more likely to kill your golden trio then teach them, as enticing as that is, it will also send me to Azkaban"

"Mr Potter, you need to be a bit more forgiving" Dumbledore gave him his best disappointed grandfather look

"Dumbledore, throw away your wand, then let me repeatedly strike you, throw you out a window and then stab you then forgive me for doing so, only then will I forgive my brother."

"Mr Potter, you are being very unreasonable"

"Unreasonable?!" Daphne re-entered the conversation "Because of your golden boy he and a teacher were attacked in a class room and sent to the hospital wing, they could've died! He waited until Professor Lupin was distracted then pushed Harry right at the boggart despite the fact that Harry didn't want to participate, yet you're here telling him off!"

"She makes a good point" Harry agreed "I'm the victim here yet you're telling me off for refusing to teach the boy responsible for me getting stabbed!"

"Dumbledore, enough of this!" McGonagall stopped Dumbledore from replying "It's clear that my lions and Mr Potter do not like these lessons and neither are willing to participate in them the lessons are cancelled"

"Thank Merlin there's at least one functional brain in charge" Harry closed his eyes and relaxed, McGonagall wasn't sure if she should tell him off for insulting the headmaster or thank him for the compliment, so she settled for a nod and left the hospital wing.

Dumbledore eyed Harry one last time before leaving, Snape followed and soon Harry was left with Remus, Rose and Daphne. Harry opened his eyes

"Good, their gone" Harry said "now it'll happen tomorrow"

"Tomorrow, are you sure?" Remus asked

"Trust me I have a plan" Harry replied

"What is the plan?" Daphne asked

"Oh, it's genius." Harry smiled "It's a plan truly worthy of a master tactician, it's subtle and brilliant. Only a mind as great as mind could think of it"
