Chapter 1

We all know that Harry took a look at Professor Snape's memories in the 5th book. Harry just couldn't resist another peek. This time he has a few people with him. It's Christmas Holidays and half of the teachers are out. Thankfully so is Snape.
"Ron! Ron, wake up!" "Wha... What is it, Harry. I'm sleeping." Ron looked at his watch. The glowing light showed 3:47 AM Dec. 20. "Ron, I was thinking." "Yeah, and I was thinking about sleep. Now I'm glad we've had this time to share our thoughts and bond. And I'm even gladder that it's over. Now let me sleep." Ron rolled over and pulled the crimson covers over his head. "No, Ron, I was thinking of last year. It gave me an idea." "Tell me in the morning, why don't ya!" "Fine but tomorrow we're going to class." "I'm not even going to ask what that was about."

The next morning Ron bounced down the grand staircase and into the great hall. "Finally! You're here!" Harry placed his fork down at the sight of his friend.

"Yes, I'm here. Now what's with this 'grand idea' that you had to wake me up at 3:40 to tell me about?" Ron sat down and helped himself to a generous portion of eggs and ham. "OK here goes. Last year I looked into Snape's memories."
"Really, what did you see?"
"That's not the point. The point is that Snape isn't here. And that means we can take another look."
"Sounds cool. Good thing Hermione isn't here. She'd definitely have something to say about this."
"True, but she isn't here."
"So... when are we going?"
"Right after breakfast if you want."
"Cool!" Ron shoved spoonfuls of egg into his mouth one after another. Little did they know, that a certain blond haired menace heard the whole conversation. Well let's see whom we can get in trouble today. He thought to himself. Harry and Ron stepped into Snape's office and looked around. Of course, so did the unseen Draco Malfoy.

"Where d'you suppose he keeps his Pensieve?" Ron started to poke around into cabinets and draws. "I think it's in that cupboard there." Harry pointed to a set of doors high above their heads. "Way up there?! No way FORGET IT! I'm not getting up there!"
"Oh don't worry, Ron. You don't have to.
