DISCLAIMER: the word muggleborn wouldn't have been used if I owned Harry Potter I would have used First Generation Magical after confirmation that the person was a First Generation Magical through Gringotts Blood Tests. Scary Goblins and their love of Blood Magic make me happy.

Warning: A.U, Slight Dumbles bashing, Existing Slash Couples. No Harry Pairings Yet! If you don't like a slash Harry don't mention it. Please. Pretty Please. I dunno if his pairing will be slash, but it'll most likely be my own character if it is. Seamus and Dean belong together, Neville and Luna should be together and Romione is happening in this fiction.

Making them All Pay

or

How Harry Fixed his Life

Harry was having the worst day in his life, or rather the worst day that he would allow himself to think about through the soporific effects of the Goddess's Magic. It was time for the end of the year examinations. The very dankness of the castle on that spring day seemed to agree with him. Divine Cheering Charm or not, Harry was going to have a very, very bollocks day. It started out fine enough, he had done a little last minute studying. He had proceeded to go to breakfast, only to discover that they didn't have his favourite sausage. That was fine though, so he ate and then went to retrieve his quill for his first test. Someone had jinxed his ink-pot though, it dried up in seconds of being touched. That was fine, he knew the wetting charm and used it fairly often. So he walked to the exam site, the transfiguration classroom. It was a third year examination, but he promised himself to treat it like an OWL that year, so he did. Writing the practical, which was an essay on 'What exactly is the art of Transfiguration?'. He overwrote it by two feet, but he felt he had included every possible answer within the essay. Smiling as he did the practical he had managed to do everything perfectly. It helped that his godfather was the examiner instead of McGonagall. He just placed you in a positive attitude, he'd even heard the Slytherins praising his teaching skills and the aura he had around him.

Next was Charms, which was an easy examination. He even got extra credit for knowing how to use charms in enchanting. It was extremely fun. The essay portion was to write a theory of how the cheering charm worked that differs from the current theory. He had a good time making a plausible, yet different, theory of the cheering charm. It included endorphins and the use of psychology which was sure to tickle the Part-Goblin charms master. He knew about muggle sciences, and often used them in his own theories which are often printed in magazines such as Charms: An Experiment in Magic, and Today in Charms. If the wizarding public knew about the uses of the science in the theories they would revolt, which was why Harry told no one that he recognised the terminology from Psychology Today; instead the boy-who-lived said that it was from an ancient and forgotten tome that he had read, which caused Hermione to laugh for hours on end. Justin only smirked at the pure-bloods who were nodding along with what Harry said, knowing what wizards usually thought about psychology or any muggle knowledge. Blaise had once even said, "What do muggles know? They can't even levitate a feather," rather dismissively when Justin had brought up a muggle subject. He then was very disappointed to learn that Justin wouldn't kiss him until he apologised, as he had insulted both Justin and Hermione's parents.

The Examination afterwards, Runes, was a breeze as Babbling simply said, "You get an O, I have watched you work and you would get an O in this examination. You probably would get an O on your newt right now if you took it." She sighed in a long-suffering manner, "Why didn't you just go up to 7th year level when I told you to? You could have been done and apprenticed to me by now."

Harry smiled at the beautiful professor and simply stated, "I wanted to work with Hermione, and it's a good thing I am. That lust enchantment was the last thing we needed happening every day." The professor smiled at him and waved him out of the class. He was oblivious to the glares of every fifth and sixth year there, only pausing to nod at Hermione who smiled at him.

As he walked out the door Hermione glared at the assembled and disgruntled group, causing all of those around to cower in fear as she held up a familiar block of wood, missing only one rune. "Who wants me to cause you and the person next to you to have indiscriminate sexual intercourse?" Pausing for a reply, for which none was given, "That's what I thought. Try to hurt him and you get to go have sex with Bulstrode, got it?" The fearful nods where all she needed to smile and look down at her examination. She quickly started, using Harry's methodology which she had learned from him in order to have no repeats of the lust enchantments. She also had an index, similar to Harry's and she had enchanted all of her clothes to resist magical attacks and interventions. They were also self repairing, resizing, and had a temperature charm on them. 'Life is good,' she thought to herself, 'life is very, very good.'

The final examination of the day, Potions. Hermione, Ron, and Harry; all holding their unbreakable vials of potion with small smiles, were still smiling as they were subjected to tripping jinxes. Their vials, which would have broken, were safe as well as the potion. Snape looked at the trio, and then looked over to Bulstrode, who was standing with her wand out and a dumb expression on her face. "Bulstrode, fifty points from Slytherin for jinxing classmates," waiting for the gasping to subside he continued, "This is a deadly potion if made incorrectly. If these three hadn't been carrying unbreakable vials they could have died. Count yourself lucky I haven't had you expelled." Sneering at the three on the floor he added, "Get up or I'll deduct points." The three hurriedly handed in three perfect potions, in a perfectly practised manner.

"Thank you professor," Harry, Ron, and Hermione said in unison. They had gotten the simultaneous speech down specifically to creep out the potions class. The speech worked, causing Malfoy to drop his potions vial. Having previously enchanted his vials to make sure none of the more enterprising Slytherins hadn't tried something; however, so his potion was safe.

"Fifty points from Gryffindor for causing mass panic," Snape said with a small smirk, "and twenty points to Gryffindor for using everything you have to your advantage. You are excused Messers Potter and Weasley, Miss Granger." The trio walked calmly out of the classroom, copying the Slytherins approach to movement for extra measure, "ten points from Gryffindor for mocking Slytherin house," was heard as they exited the room.

As soon as they were outside they all started laughing, falling on the ground. They were soon joined by Justin, who had the unfortunate circumstance of asking what was going on.

"Fifty points from Gryffindor for causing... mass panic, and twenty... to Gryffindor for using everything... to our advantage, and then ten... from Gryffindor for mocking... Slytherin house. It's that he knew what... we were doing that was hilarious," Hermione said in between gasping breaths and laughter.

"Wait, you were mocking Slytherin how?" Justin asked the breathless trio of students.

"We were walking," Harry answered, less breathless than the other two.

"How do you walk like a Slytherin?" Justin asked, not expecting the demonstration.

"Like this," Harry said, getting up and sticking is butt out slightly, walking, one foot in front of the other in a way that mad his hips move slightly, "Apparently that is Slytherin house walking." Harry fell again, laughing more, " and... Snape... Confirmed it."

Justin stared at the black haired teen, the ginger, and the brunette, and simply said, "Snape has obviously lost it. Blaise doesn't walk like that at all." Smiling he added, "maybe Malfoy does, but Blaise doesn't."

Harry sobered quickly and said while smirking, "So you look at Malfoy's butt, I don't think Blaise will be too happy. I also don't think Percy Weasley will be too happy about that, but lets leave that thought for later. Kay?" The smirk was wiped off his face as Justin smirked back and pointed his wand.

"Are you so sure about that, Harry? I could say a few words right now," the smirk widened as his said, "RICTUSEMPRA!" The tickling charm shot out of the wand.

Hermione gasped, "Not the light wizards torture charm!"

"Yes! The light wizards torture charm!" Justin laughed evilly after he spoke, "MUWEEHAHAHAHA!"

"Twenty points from Hufflepuff for torture, Mr. Finch-Fletchly," A stern, Scottish brogue beat out, "And five points to Ms. Granger for identifying the Light Wizards Torture Charm!" Professor McGonagall looked at the now gaping students, "That will be all, now go to the library or something." She stalked off to up the stairs.

"Why was she in the dungeons?" Justin asked the other three, "And why did I get points taken off for torture?"
"Why did I get points for the common name of the rictusempra?" Hermione asked in return, "She is clearly overworked."

"Agreed," the other three quickly said.

"Lets go to the library," Harry suggested, "I need to check on a runes project anyway, it's in my bag and the library is the perfect place to check it out. It is for Madam Pince anyway."

The quartet walked to the library, where they ran into Blaise. He had finished his project ten minutes before the trio of Gryffindors and elected to not be in the presence of Draco Malfoy any more than necessary. Necessary being any more than five minutes per three hours. Five minutes per three hours worked, of course, as the times that were necessary to move into the common-room. Slytherins had their own bedrooms out of necessity, otherwise there might be a few deaths, so he didn't have to sleep in the same room with Malfoy. Five minutes from the common-room to his bedroom, Five minutes of pure torture being near the gormless berk.

"Do I want to know why Harry is getting out his Rune equipment?" Blaise asked in a mock-frightened tone, "He isn't going to enchant the room is he?"

"I don't really know," Justin replied, "He could just enchant it to make Malfoy smart. He'd have done a miracle then." Sniggers followed the statement, the noise drawing Madam Pince.

"Harry," she said, her face lighting up slightly, "Have you come up with a cataloguing enchantment? Babbling said you would."

"Yes, I have. I have managed to find a runic array that can be put on the shelves, and then tied to an array on an empty journal," He showed her the empty journal he had brought with him, a black plain black leather book, "the titles will show here, and where they are will be on the opposite page. Its easy to use, even a pillock can use it." The smile that was shown from his pride in his accomplishment was met and possibly outdone by the librarian. This would make it easier to help students by far.

"Is it automatic or manual?" Madam Pince asked smiling at the black haired runic genius, "and how large is the array? When can it be done?"

"It can be done in about two days, its automatic, and the array consists of ten runes each surrounding the central powering rune. I chose sowillo simply because it is the only thing that will not require re-powering several times," Harry explained as his friends looked at him with slight amusement, "It will also catalogue new books automatically, as soon as its on a shelf. It requires no ink, the books are burned into the paper. It will also show where the books are and if they are overdue."

"That is brilliant Harry," Madam Pince said smiling, "Now I am sure that we can get Professor Babbling and Flitwick to do this over the summer. Could you leave a copy of the runic array and diagram here?"

"Of course Madam Pince," Harry said with a smile, "Happy to help."

"Oh lovely, and before I forget. Fifty points to Gryffindor for helping the library," The librarian smiled at the young runes student, "I can't wait to see some of your new innovations next year. Keep on doing what you do best." The kind, encouraging librarian walked over to her desk to check on the returned books. She smiled and whistled a merry tune along the way, throwing off several older students who turned to see out the windows. They made sure it wasn't the end of the world and went on their way, slightly fearful of what made the formerly cross librarian so happy and helpful.

The now quintet of students worked with little noise, whispering softly to each other when asking questions. Neville and Luna found them there, and joined the table. The lengthening charm, cast by Harry and Hermione as they were the only ones who had perfected it, added room for them and then the twins who joined a few seconds later. The homework was passed around, each of the group checking grammar and facts. Ron's Homework got to Harry with a surprise, he had actually worked hard on it. The grammar was still atrocious and as such Harry got out his red correcting ink. He quickly fixed Grammar and handed it off to Hermione for her to check as she finished with his checks. She handed his paper to Blaise who had finished with hers which he handed to Justin after stealing a kiss. It went on and on, papers being passed until each paper landed to the correct person. Harry's, back with few red lines under the sentence, 'He only asked for three feet, not eight,' was a happy occasion. He remembered when he would have had it all splashed with red and thanked the gods that he had gotten the blocks removed. All in all, it was shaping up to be a good year. They were already finishing their 'summer' homework and nothing would stop them from having fun in the sun that summer. Well except when Harry needed to finish an innovation of his. They had all agreed to meet up in the summer to go swimming and do all the things that young wizards and witches did during the summer. After all, it would be the first time for Harry to participate in those things. He wanted so badly to be able to just go swimming and/or lull around in a daze. As they started on their next assignment, which Harry, Hermione, Justin and Luna having finished everything, the quartet of finished students looked at the quartet of unfinished ones and took pity. Getting out the books Harry, Hermione and Justin used they handed the copies to Neville and Blaise, hoping they would finish quickly. Luna simply walked over to the twins, took their assignment and picked out books. The twins, grateful to the friendly blonde, each gave her a hug. It would be a great day for the octet of students, a great day, and they start of a great summer vacation.

A rather short chapter, I know, but I am currently plagued by Plot Bunnies. Horrid Creatures which urge you to start writing a new fiction. I have persevered though and eventually this part of the story, the final part of this year, was born. The next year will be in a new fiction by the title of which I will not say because I don't know. It will detail the three months of summer and how they work for Harry and his octet of friends. Seamus and Dean will also make an appearance at the beach with them. Dean will be kicked out of his house unfortunately by his homophobic parents who will be surprised to learn things about the wizarding world. Thank you. Read and Review.
