Dark Mark

A/N: AU story. Harry is 19 year old and already finished school( he didn't go to Hogwarts). Hermione, Ron, Draco, Blaize, etc. are around 17 or 18. Ginny is in 6th year, so a year younger. This is my first fan fiction, so be easy on me.

Disclaimer: I don't Harry Potter. The owner of the books is J.K. Rowling.

Laughter could be heard from the Head Girl's room, where there was a part taking place in honor of their friend Hermione Granger, receiving the position for the Head Girl of Hogwarts. It was a month or two into the school year but they were too busy to have a party, especially with Hermione studying all the time as usual. They realized with all of them always being busy, they would never be able to throw Hermione a party. They threw a slumber party after classes in the Head Girl's room. Even though classes would start the next day, it didn't stop the girls from getting drunk and staying up 'till the late hours of the night.

" So, any one up for a game of Truth 'N Dare" a tipsy Ginny Weasley asked. It took her a while to say those words.

" No, let's play that game where you go in a closet for 7 minutes, umm...it's called..." Lavender was too drunk at the moment to actually piece the name of the game together.

" You can't Lave...ender. You need...hiccup..boys for that game." Parvatii giggled. It wasn't like Lavender to forget the name of a game like that.

" What do you think, Hermione?" They turned to Hermione, who had the oddest expression on her face. Hermione, unlike her friends was not drunk. She just wanted to leave and crawl under a blanket, somewhere cozy and read her favorite book.

"Uh-oh" Ginny laughed as she tripped over a empty bottle of fire whiskey. The rest of the girls laughed uncontrollably as Ginny continued to lie there and play dead.

" Girls, I'm gonna go to the common room and get some shut eye. You know with classes being tomorrow and stuff". Hermione grabbed her book, a pillow, and a blanket, as she ran out the door.

"But Hermione, you can't leave your own part". All the heard was crazy laughter and shouts of 'I made it. I made it without going crazy'.

" I can't fking believe this. How can we forget the password?" furious whispers could be heard coming under an invisibility cloak which hid three angry wizards in dark colored cloaks.

" We could've made it in that old, good for nothing Headmaster's office. But bloody hell, no! Someone forgot to get the stupid password" the young wizard with the glasses furiously kicked the gargoyle in hope of the statue to open. That hadn't worked for the past few hours that they had been there.

" Hey, don't go around blaming me. I wasn't supposed to get it. It's supposed to be Zabinni." (sp?) Draco Malfoy pointed at his other friend. Blaize not wanting to be blamed for the plan gone wrong protested that none had told him that he was to get the password.

" Shouldn't you know your own Headmaster's password to his office. This is after all your school." The voice was tinted with wonder as to how his best friends could be allowed on the dark side.

" Watch it, don't push. Anyway, I wouldn't know since I wouldn't go to that crazy weirdo even if my life depended on it." Draco looked at his friends like they were crazy for even thinking that he would go to the headmaster for anything.

" Maybe we should try out names of candy. Dumbledore does like candy." Blaize figured it could be since the headmaster had a "sweet tooth".

Another half hour later passed without any success. Finally, they gave up and started to walk away when a cat came out of nowhere, heading towards where the boys were.

" Mrs. Norris! Okay , guys lets walk away slowly." Blaize said in a calm, quite voice, so as not to have the cat hear them. Unfortunately, with all three of them bumping into each other in order to run away, Mrs. Norris heard them and chased after them. It was difficult to run with all three under one cloak and with Flitch and his cat running after them, but somehow with twists and turns they managed to loose their unwanted company.

" Guys, where are we?" the wizard asked his two friends that still went to school.

" In front of the Fat Lady, it leads to the muggle lovers, Dumbledore lovers, Voldemort haters, and to the brave warriors of Gryffindor." the blond haired 7th year said the words as if it was acid and burned his mouth.

" I know the password for that portrait. We could go inside and trash the place. It'll be some kind of message, you know." The other two wizards turned on Blaize with questioning eyes.

" And where did you get the password?" They asked in unison.

" I have my ways" Blaize tried to hold back his smirk but nonetheless it appeared. Blaize muttered the password to the Fat Lady, who looked a little suspicious, since she couldn't see them. The Slytherin boys gagged at the red and golden colored common room, that didn't hold a trace of green. Who didn't like green?

The cloaked figure with the glasses walked around when his emerald eyes landed on a figure sleeping on a red and gold couch with a book over her face. He left the security of the invisibility cloak and removed the heavy book and was shocked at the beauty in front of him. Never had he laid eyes on a girl that looked like that nor made him feel like what he was feeling right now. His heart felt like it was beating a mile a minute and there was butterflies flying everywhere inside of him. No other girl made him feel like this. His eyes roamed over her face taking in her brown hair, closed eyes, her nose and lips. He wondered what color her eyes would be, if it would be chocolate brown that matched her hair color. All he knew was that the girl would be his and she was going with him.
