It was Saturday morning, which meant the club was having it's meeting. Missing a meeting of the club was not an option much less anything any member would seriously consider doing. You'd have to be nuts not to go. It also didn't hurt if you actually read that month's selection. For a book club, The Hogwarts Secret Saturday Morning Marxist Reading & Action Adventure Club got a lot of action adventure in between their chapters of Pride and Prejudice or Gone with the Wind.

Neville woke up reluctantly. He stretched and yawned and slammed his hand down hard a split second before the tiny hammer started slamming into the side of the bells on either side of the alarm. Harry, and Ron hated that silver demon as they called it because they liked to sleep in late on the weekends. Seamus and Dean were always up before eight because they jogged around the grounds, played quidditch, and pretty much trained themselves to be ready for any contingency that might arise that would require them to save the wizarding world, again.

They'd been doing it since their first year when Professor Mandelbrot had first recruited them. He was the secret professor at Hogwarts, the real Defense Against the Dark Arts master, and Professor Snape's true rival for that coveted position the not secret Defense Against the Dark Arts post. Professor Dumbledore really could be a meany about dangling carrots before as erm donkeys.

Neville yawned again and stretched his arms. Ron's legs lay where his pillows were. At least he hadn't fallen out of his bed again. Harry lay face down and bum in the air like an ostrich, probably because the world was a mad ridiculous place that every week seemed to want to kill him. Neville didn't envy him that. He looked at the clock. Time for a quick shower, a skim through the new book they were reading, getting dressed and getting out of the dormitory and to the secret tower, which really wasn't so secret it stood in plain sight but what lay in it, no one but the members of the Saturday Morning Book Club knew.

"C'mon Trevor," Neville said to his toad. Trevor loved taking baths. "Time for a soak and then we're off to see if the world needs saving again."

Trevor thought to himself. "That Potter bloke sure has it easy, having to fight one arch-nemesis over and over again. Neville and the reading club have to save the wizarding world almost every other week from certain peril. Once a term really did seem like an unfair walk in the park. And they get to sleep in on the weekends." He croaked at them as Neville walked past.

Ron muttered, "Danish please, and sausage ... I love you Hermione," in his sleep as they walked past. Really, did that boy only dream of food?




What's that? You've never heard of The Hogwarts Secret Saturday Morning Marxist Reading & Action Adventure Club. I would suggest you carefully reread your HP 1-7 and then come back here ... because I made it all up. This is AU. Third year, with a focus on the not-trio characters. And a few of my old creations and ... maybe Godzilla and apes if you're nice. Hope you come back. Tell all your friends. The action starts here.
