"Cornerstone,

Cornerstone,

Everybody needs to be hidden."

A cloaked figure slipped past the barriar to platform 9 and ¾. It glided past all families and boarded the train, leaving confused people in its wake. The figure walked the length of the train and entered the one on the left side in front. No one liked to sit up at the front of the train. The figure slipped a wand into its hand from their arm holster and with a few flicks the compartment had wards, and notice-me-not charms.

Once everything was set the person sat and let their hood fall. It revealed a regal looking male. His skin was a creamy milk color and seemed to glow, while his hair was the complete opposite, being a dark black. His hair reached the middle of his shoulder blades and was threaded in a loose braid. His eyes were like liquid emeralds and the pupils were slit like a cats. Over his right brow was a lightning bolt shaped scar.

He yawned and thus showed the glinting fangs and the silver tongue piercing. His gaze opened to a half-hooded state and he brushed some of his bangs behind his ear, showing the one silver loop and the three green studs. A pale hand reached out of the heavy cloak and unclasped the silver snake clasp. The cloak fell away and became absorbed into the clasp. The clasp was then attached to a simple chain looped around his neck.

Now that the cloak was gone it allowed any who, if they could, see his body and clothing. His body was lithe and slim, holding a slightly feminine feel, but also masculine. He was short, barely reaching 5'8". He was wearing a green shorts sleeved shirt that had a hood and fit his torso nicely. Low on his hips were baggy, black cargo pants that dragged on the floor slightly, making the ends frayed and dirty. Attached to the belt loops were silver chains. On his feet were dark green, almost black, colored skater shoes that had silver laces.

"Cornerstone,

Cornerstone,

Everbody needs to be hidden."

Draco bit his lip as he boarded the train he looked at his hand and reread the note. 'You will find me in the front of the train on the opposite side of which you write in plain sight.' He bit his lip again and he gave a start when a hand pressed firmly against his lower back and guided him to the front of the train. He didn't need to look to know who it was. "Blaise, I'm not to sure of this. What if its a trap?"

"Calm down, Dray. Everything will turn out fine," Blaise answered in a soothing tone. The group of Slytherins calmed down at the reassurence of Blaise and continued their way to the front of the train. They reached their destination and turned to Draco and Blaise for instructions. Blaise looked at the note, "The left." They turned to the left and stared blankly at the bare wall.

Draco frowned, "What the hell?"

"Plain sight, Dray."

"Oh." When no one made a move to knock on the wall, Theodore snorted and stalked up to the wall and knocked. A soft enter was heard and the wall melted away to reveal the comparment. Theodore raised an eyebrow but shrugged at the others and opened the door, sealing their fate.

"Once again I'm coaching,

Because we're playing our game."

He did not look at the group who he had allowed entrance. He spoke in a soft whispy voice that would be unrecgonized, "Hello, my Slytherins."

Theodore was the one to reply, "Hello. What is it that you want from us?"

He spoke again, " 'Hitsuzen' A naturally foreordained event. A state in which other outcomes are impossible. A result which can only be obtained by a single casuality, and other casualities would nesscessarily create different results." (1)

"What does that have to do with us?" Theodore asked. He was the speaker of the group when it came to getting answers, so the Slytherins let him do all the talking.

"I have asked myself that question many times, and I have always been given lies and half-truths. While, yes, hitsuzen does exsist it does not control everything. Humans have surprised the gods and fates multiple times with their impredictablity. Albus Dumbledore has surprised fate and has angered them. He destroyed the life of many people and the fates will not let this go unpunished." He slowly turned around and revealed his face to his guests, and allowed his voice to return to its normal soft baritone. "I will be his exicutioner."

Theodore stared at him in shock, "POTTER!?"

"Once again I'm waiting at the wall,

Once again I'm close to the goal,

And I hear your breathing,

And I smell your fear."

Harry smirked, "Yes that is my last name, don't spoil it."

Draco sputtered, "What the hell?"

Harry raised his eyebrow, "What the hell, indeed."

Blaise raised an eyebrow in return, "Why exactly did you call us here, Potter?"

Harry's face melted into seriousness, "Call me Harry, and I called you here because I need your help."

Pansy looked at him, "Why do you need our help, Po-Harry?"

"You all know that Cedric died last year, right?" He recieved nods. "Well, despite what the Daily Prophet has been telling, T-Voldemort has come back, but because of Dumbledore, he did not remember me."

"What do you mean remember you?" Vincent asked, curious and slightly confused. Contrary to popular belief, Vincent and Gregory were by no means stupid, they were actually smart and the picture perfect pureblood, they just had to act.

Harry took a deep breath, "Let's start at the beginning. The night of October 31, 1981. My parents were awake and trying to get me to fall back asleep, but I knew I couldn't, something was going to happen. Babies are more aware then most adults. Something evil was wishing to harm my family. My father had fought for all that was worth, but in the end was struck down by a cutting curse. The attacker traveled up the stairs and into the nursrey room, where my mom and me were. My mom did her best to protect me, but it was useless. She too was struck down.

"A sudden crash from the window sent glass flying, and Voldemort, or Tom Marvolo Riddle, landed in front of me. He took one look at my mother and went into a bloodlust. He fought with all his might but when the attacker sent the killing curse at me, he jumped in its way, shielding me. His last words before taking spirit form, were 'I will protect you.' Then the attacker used the blackest of blackest magic and gave me this scar. The attacker was Albus Dumbledore."

"I can't wait any longer,

Because I know what you're longing for."

The group of Slytherins looked at Harry in shock. Gregory was the one to break the silence, "How does this tie to the fact of Vold-Tom didn't remember you?"

Harry's eyes glowed with hatred. "He captured my godfather and used black magic to block all memories of me, and alter all positive emotions felt for me to become the opposite. The curse traveled through the dark mark and infected all who had it, which included Tom, the creator."

"Cornerstone,

Cornerstone,

Everybody needs to be hidden."

"The only reason why I remember now, is because I came into my inheritance last night. Chances are that everyone who was infected from my godfather has more than likely retained all their emotions and memories. They will be looking for blood, and I will be there right next to them."

"That doesn't explain why you need our help," Theodore stated.

Harry's eyes became half-lidded, "That is trued, but it was vital information that you need to succeed in what I ask of you."

"Well, spit it out! Want do you want from us?" Draco snarled.

Harry leveled him with a stare, "I want you to be my spies and friends."

"Spies?" Pansy shrieked.

"FRIENDS?" Theodore exclaimed, eyes wide. Harry only nodded in response. The Slytherins turned to Draco and Blaise.

Draco cleared his throat, "We will help you. However, I have one question."

Harry raised an eyebrow, "And that would be?"

"Cornerstone,

Cornerstone,

Everybody needs to be hidden."

"Who are your true friends?"

"One."

Harry crossed his arms and his eyes narrowed into slits. "Ronald and Ginerva are definately not even close!" he hissed, fangs glinting eeirely.

"Two."

At that moment a knock sounded. Harry snarled an "enter" out and six people entered.

"Three."

Hermione Granger entered first. Her normally bushy and frizzy hair was know cascading down her back in loose ringlets and the normally darker brown shade lightened considerably. Her eyes were a creamy chocolate color and the pupils were slits. Her skin had darkened to a nice tan and she had slimmed out. She had grown a couple inches, hitting 5' 9".

She was wearing a black pleated skirt that ended mid-thigh and had dark brown, knee length leggings. Her shirt was a simple dark brown baby tee that had an apple on it, and as she stepped in further it revealed 'poison' in scary looking writing. Under it was a black elbow length sleeved shirt. A simple chain with a jaguar charm hanging on it looped around her neck. Black skater shoes with brown laces completed the look.

"Four."

Luna Lovegood swept in next. Her pale blonde hair was slightly longer, and was held up in a ponytail. Her sky blue eyes were still faraway, but there were no pupils in sight. Her skin was pale and she slimmed out considerably. She looked kinda like a pixie with her height of 5'6".

She was wearing a tight, white jacket that was zipped up half way and revealed the powder blue camisole underneath. Her feet were covered in white Uggs, and black skinny jeans were tucked in the boots. A chain with a raven pendent dangling from it hung around her neck. The normal radish earrings were hanging from her ears.

"Five."

Neville Longbottom followed Luna. His body had lost all its baby fat and left toned muscles in their wake. His cinnimon colored eyes sparkled, but the pupils had gron smaller and were now horizontil. His hair became shaggier and now reached to about his shoulders. He was now the proud height of 6'0".

He wore baggy red knee length shorts, a grey T-shirt, with a black long sleeved shirt underneath, on his feet were grey skater shoes with no show socks, and a red beanie was over his head. He also had two small, gold hoop earrings in his left ear. Around his neck was a silver chain with a lion pendant.

"Six."

Nathanial Moon had entered with Neville. He was a dark skinned male that was small, like Harry. He had hip length black hair that was pulled back into a horse tail. His eyes were a intersting shade of brown and red with ocean blue flecks. He was 5'8" and was lithe.

He was wearing white cargo pants that dragged along the ground slightly, causing the ends to be dirty and frayed slightly. Hanging from the belt loops and pockets were golden chains. His shirt was tight, dark blue and long sleeved, a tight black jacket on top of it. Also arounf his neck was a gold chain with the pendant of a wolf.

"Seven."

Seamus Finnigan glided in next. His hair was still as shaggy as ever and the same sandy color. His eyes were a warm light green that had hazel colored flecks int. The pupils were normal, but were thinner. He now reached the height of 6'0" and he had slimmed down slightly.

He wore black skinny jeans, silver chains hanging from belt loops and pockets and a silver chain hung around his neck with a racoon charm. He had red skater shoes, no show socks, and a red T-shirt. On the shirt was a chibi racoon, hiding a trashcan and in block letters underneath it read, 'what trashcan?'

"Eight."

Last to enter was Dean Thomas. He had dark skin like Nathanial but was a little lighter. He had laughing blue eyes that had flecks of red in them. His hair now brushed his shoulders and was as dark as ever, but now sported dark blue streaks. He reached 6'1" and had become more lithe.

He wore baggy, brown cargo pants, tucked into black combat boots. His shirt was a black T-shirt with a dark brown sleeveless jacket. The jacket was left unzipped, and around his neck was a black chocker and a gold chain with a fox charm.

"Nine."

Harry grinned at them, anger forgotten. "Slytherins, I would like you to meet my true friends."

Hermione introduced herself, "Hermione Potter." She gave a small bow before seating herself next to Harry.

"Ten."

Luna stared at them dreamily, "Luna Lovegood." She glided over to the other side of Harry and sat down.

"Ready or not, I'm coming."

Neville bowed, "Neville Longbottom, it's a pleasure to meet you." He sat on the other side of Hermione.

"Ready or not, I'm coming."

Nathanial copied Neville's movements, "Nathanial Moon, pleasure." He sat on Neville's lap, who secured his arms around the smaller man's waist.

"Ready or not, I'm coming."

Seamus grinned at them, "Seamus Finnigan, glad you could join us." He sat next to Luna and pulled her into his lap. Allowing a spot for his boyfriend.

"Watch out, I'm coming."

Dean smirked at them, "Dean Thomas." He slid into the space next to Seamus. Draco shrugged at the Slytherins.

"Don't show yourself."

Draco bowed, "Draco Malfoy." He sat across from Dean.

Blaise bowed also, "Blaise Zabini." He slid next to Draco nad slipped an arm around Draco's shoulders. He was seated across from Seamus and Luna.

"Constantly I'm shouting your name,

Constantly I'm searching your face."

Theodore bowed next, "Theodore Nott." He sat next to Blaise and across from Harry.

Pansy gave a small curtsy, "Pansy Parkinson." She sat next to Theodore and across from Hermione.

"When I finally got you,

We'll be playing 'truth or dare'."

Vincent bowed, "Vincent Crabbe." He sat next to Pansy and pulled her into his lap to allow room for his boyfried.

Gregory bowed, "Gergory Goyle." He took the space provided.

"Cornerstone,

Cornerstone,

Everybody needs to be hidden."

Harry smirked, "Harry Potter, now let's plan."

"Cornerstone,

Cornerstone,

Everybody needs to be hidden."
