"Indeed I could." Harry nodded. "But then again I have been doing that all my life. I mean help the Dursley's and get abused, save the school in first year and get the Dursley's in return plus hatred the next year, save the school in second year and in return I get people to realise that I am not a mass murdering heir of Slytherin, it seems to me that whenever I help people it is me who suffers for it. Yes that might sound childish or whiny or whatever but quite frankly I am far out of shits to give about people that turn on me in a moments notice. Besides let's say that I do teach people, that will just bring Umbridge's ire on me. Why would I do that?"
"But...you...you really wouldn't help?!" Hermione said as she and Ron looked at him with disbelief.
"I have very few people that I care about in this school, I have no problem helping them but I am not about to start a 'club' or...whatever the hell you are suggesting and start teaching everyone."
"I can't believe it!" Hermione said as she glared at him. "First you cost me my arm and now you are refusing to help and..."
"Oh honey," Harry shook his head and tutted his teeth while also wondering if he sounded cool or funny when he said 'oh honey'. "I did not cost you your arm. You know damn well why you lost the ability to use that arm and you know damn well that it was because you did not listen to me. Which brings me to another reason for not helping, people like you two."
"What is that supposed to mean?!" Ron demanded as he joined Hermione in glaring at him.
"Oh I am sorry, is it not obvious?" Harry asked while raising an eyebrow, he turned to Hermione. "First of all I don't see much point in going to this thing when you and the people I teach are unable to listen to simple instructions such as 'don't mess with what isn't yours' or 'you can not read this'." Harry turned to Ron. "As for you, when I became an animagus Kingsley had went through the effort of discreetly registering me only for you to cock it up and let the whole school know."
"Like you cared," Ron scoffed. "you've been showing off about the fact that you can turn into a tiger for ages."
"Yeah Ron but that was me simply me making the best of my situation I found myself in. if it wasn't for you then I could have kept it a secret trick in case I am ever attacked. But I decided that if people knew then I might as well enjoy it." Harry said as he stood up. "I am not about to start an illegal group only for you to blurt it out and get me in trouble. You two go and do whatever the fuck you want, but me, I am going to simply enjoy my year as best as I can and that's it." Harry said right before he picked his stuff up, he was about to walk off when Ron spoke again.
"You coward!" Ron snarled. "You don't deserve to be in the house of the lions!"
"Well I am a tiger so I am debatably better than a lion." Harry shrugged. "I am what I am, I am not about to change just to keep you happy."
"I don't care what you say! You are..."
"Ron," Harry interrupted. "must we really do this? I mean you know you're no match for me, I mean you've seen the memory of me fighting that Apophis guy in that memory, I am smarter than you and I am better than you, I don't really know what you hope to achieve." Ron growled after his face turned red with anger, he threw a punch at Harry, hoping to knock out a few of his teeth. Unfortunately for him Harry saw the punch coming a mile away, Harry jumped back to avoid it before he struck Ron with a right hook to the face. Ron stumbled back far enough for Harry to whip his wand out and hit him with a body bind. "No." Harry said when Hermione looked like she was about to move. "I'd recommend you stay still Granger unless you want to be next." Harry raised his wand in the air and sent a loud alarm sound from it. He kept it going until many Gryffindors came down to see what was happening.
"Harry? What the hell is going on?" Dean Thomas asked. "What was that noise?" He and the other Gryffindors did not look happy at being disturbed and woken up.
"I do apologise but I needed some prefects as Weasley over here thought it was a good idea to throw a punch." Harry said. "Somebody might want to go get McGonagall." Harry suggested.
"I'll do it." Katie said before she walked out to go get McGonagall.
"He tried to attack you?!" Fred and George asked at the same time with disbelief, they knew that Ron was not the fastest learner but they were pretty sure that he had been paying attention when they watched the memory of Harry fighting Apophis so they could not quite understand what caused him to try and punch Harry of all people.
"Let me go Potter!" Ron said as he tried to move but the body bind was too strong for him.
"Let me think...no." Harry replied before he put him under a silencing charm. "How the hell are you three related to him?" Harry asked Ginny and the twins.
"Tell me what happened." McGonagall frowned.
"Ron was being an idiot." Harry replied with a small shrug which did not seem to help improve McGonagall's mood. He could tell she was not exactly happy, though he was not sure what bothered her the most. The fact that Gryffindors had been fighting and she had been called to deal with it or the fact that Umbridge had discovered that something had happened and insisted on coming with her to deal with this, that is why Harry, Ron and Hermione found themselves in McGonagall's office with Umbridge and McGonagall.
"Mr Potter that is not helpful." McGonagall said as she glared at him.
"It seems to me that it is the Weasley boy who is at fault." Umbridge said.
"Dolores please, I can deal with this on my own." McGonagall said in a tired voice.
"I would not mind if she stayed." Harry said, shocking everyone in the room including himself, he suddenly felt very dirty and like he needed a shower. "I mean to be honest Professor I was rather worried about bringing this matter to you, especially after all the times in the past when you have ignored me, quite frankly if you weren't Gryffindor head of house then I would have gone to someone else."
"Harry!" Hermione gasped as McGonagall looked at him with a dropped jaw.
"Oh I am sorry, I did not know that personal or differing opinions were a punishable offence."
"They are not," Umbridge said, either uncaring or forgetful of the fact that she was here to punish those with an opinion different to the Ministers. "what happened Mr Potter?"
"These two came into the room and demanded that I start up a group to teach people how to fight and got angry when I refused." Harry answered.
"That's a lie!" Ron shouted.
"Why would they want you to start such a group?" Umbridge asked while narrowing her eyes at Ron and Hermione.
