It was a happy day at the Hogwarts Racetrack. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the crowd was cheering for the person in the lead. Hermionie wasn't really watching the race because her eyes were focused on something that looked kinda weird. It was the Forbidden Forest. Not that it didn't always look weird, but today, it seemed that a whole army of Deatheaters were hiding amongst the trees just looking for flesh, blood, and bone. Figuring it was just her imagination, she turned back to the race. " Popcorn anyone?" Ron said sitting next to Hermionie, and Harry on the silver bench.

" No thanks Ron." Harry said.

Ron held the red box out to Hermionie. She took some. After munching on its sweet buttery kernels, she said " Doesn't the Forbidden Forest look funny today?" She asked.

" No." Ron said after carefully examining it.

" Well, I for one do!" Hermionie said pointing out all of the rustling areas.

" I think it looks ok." Harry said after squinting to get a better look at it. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Ever Feel that you are right when everyone Else thinks your wrong? Spill your heart, with joy and sorrow showing Everyone that you belong *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" Well, I think it looks like an army of Deatheaters are out there!" Hermionie argued.

" Well, I think it looks ok, so let's just forget about it!" Ron answered rolling his eyes.

Hermionie looked at Harry hoping that he would have changed his mind. Rubbing his elbow he said " Sorry Hermionie. But I'll have to go with Ron on this one."

She felt her face turn red, but before she could react, she saw a dark figure moving across the yard in front of the track.

" A DEATHEATER!" Hermionie screamed. She was so scared, that she almost fell over. She ran up to the announcers stand.

A few moments later, on the loudspeaker, everyone heard " We excuse the interruption, but there is a Deatheater on the grounds!" There were screams coming from every direction.

" It's probably gonna get me first!" Yelled Susan Bones in panic. " I'm the slowest!" It was true. The Hufflepuff couldn't beat anybody.

" No! It's gonna get me!" Cried Chester Clearwater. " I'm the slowest!" Although he wasn't, he just wanted to get into the panic.

Harry looked across the stadium. Draco Malfoy looked just as scared as everyone else. Harry wished he could be with him.

FLASHBACK: The year before, You-Know-Who was killed. BUT! His ghost haunted Hogwarts waiting for the right soul to return to its wooden doors. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named found the right mixture in Lucius Malfoy. They thought he was sick, but all of his good soul was drained out leaving only the bad parts, plus, the soul of You-Know-Who. This made him worse than the Dark Lord, it made him solid evil! They thought he was crazy to go out late every night. But he went out to kill. It was probably about twenty killings a night, but he went on. Harry had managed to find out that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was alive in the blood of another, so he took action. He told Ron, and Hermionie. Wands ready, when they met Lucius in the battle chamber, the place he expected them he attacked first sending Ron flying against the wall. Hermionie ran over to see if he was all right.

" You fiend!" Harry yelled at him. Inside, he thought " Oh boy! It's the end! What am I going to do without Ron?" Ron was knocked out cold against the wall. The chamber was only lit by candlelight. The doors opened. The silvery blonde boy gave a shocked look at what he saw. It was Harry with a scared look, staring at Lucius, Ron knocked out against the wall, and Lucius himself with his wand out ready to cast the probable death spell at him. He held up his hand, and yelled

" STOP !!!!!!" He looked up, but still began to make the death curse. He was about to say the last letter of the spell, when the boy jumped on him. Lucius wouldn't stop, so he bit him on the arm. He yelped in pain, and dropped his wand. The boy grabbed it, and pointed it at Lucius. "DETEPTUCEMPRA!" BANG! A large cloud of smoke filled the chamber. Harry started coughing. He looked at the boy who was standing next to the body of his victim.

" Thanks." Harry said with his glassed still fogged up. " You saved my life."

" Anytime." Said a familiar voice.

Harry's glasses de fogged. His green eyes met the boy's cold gray one's. " Malfoy?!" Harry said in disbelief. Malfoy smiled at him for the first time. From then on, they were friends. END OF FLASHBACK
