Pieces of My Soul

Chapter 2

A quiet night in Hogsmeade is interrupted, ever so slightly, by 5 very quiet pops of apparition. The 5 wizards head toward the shrieking shack. Only one of them was not shaking in their boots about their destination.

"Stop shivering, I already told you it's not haunted." The leader says in exasperation

"I know but, it moves..." came the voice of one Gregory Goyle.

"So do the stairs in Hogwarts, and Hogwarts is haunted itself!" A female voice says.

"Pansy, stop winding him up. We all know Hogwarts is haunted, but we know those ghosts. All he has is stories about just how haunted the shack is." The leader said again.

"I know Dan, but it is kind of hard to not make a joke about it, considering Hogwarts. And Another thing, how did you know about this secret passageway?" she asks, as they all walk up to the broken down house.

Dan, the leader, who isn't fearful of this building, pulls out 5 brooms, School brooms obviously, from underneath something, and passes one to the other 4. "Followed the Weasley twins before they left, during their 7th year."

Pansy asked another question. "Who are you, really? I mean, I've never seen you before in Slytherin, but your entirely too, Slytherin, to not be one…"

Dan grinned at her, and pulled his hood off. In the process his forehead was revealed, but when she took in the features, and lack of on the forehead, she frowned. "You look like Harry Potter, but, you don't have the scar…"

His grin grew. "Seems the Polyjuice potion doesn't do curse scars. Yes, I use Polyjuice potion to look like him, helpful for avoiding certain reasons for why I'm out of bed."

"Slytherin. And you could only be a 7th year…"

"who said I'm a 7th year?" he asked, then looked around and saw that the other 3 had already gotten onto their brooms and went into the shrieking shack via a large broken window on the top floor. He looked back at Pansy. "So, alone again, methinks they're wanting us to get together. Happens a lot."

Pansy pulled her own hood off, showing her blush for a split second, before she flew into Dan's arms, kissing him passionately.

During a break, Dan said, "Draco's gonna kill me."

Pansy smirked. "sure. Right, whatever. I've seen you when rookie trains us. Your good. Very good. Only way Drake gets one past you is if either you let him or I'm distracting you."

Dan smiled. "oh, but what a way to go."

Pansy smiled, but said, "Don't you dare."

"Ok. Now, shall we go in, it's kind of cold."

Pansy frowned. "It gets colder in the common room you know."

"I know, but who said I'm in Slytherin house?"

"Well, you do seem to get in to meet me without needing me to tell you the password…"

Dan grinned. "you got me. So, in?"

"um…"

"Curfew, c'mon, besides, I'm hungry and I'm sure the house elves will be ok if I ask them for a few sandwiches."

Pansy nodded, and both of them took the brooms up to the top floor of the Shrieking Shack.

---ooo000ooo---

Harry entered the common room, yawning widely as he went upto his dorm. He barely remembered to say 'night' to Neville and Ron before he was snoring.

Hermione entered in behind him, and looked to Ron. "Asleep before he's fully on the bed again. Come on Ron, lets get him into bed, he'll get a cramp like that.

Ron looked at her. "You know, I don't exactly like touching other guys…"

Hermione scowled. "help me or your not getting into my dorm tonight."

Ron moved so quickly that Hermione barely registered it before Harry was snoring away in his bed, his clothes in neat piles next to it. Hermione looked amused at this, and said, "Switching spell."

Ron blushed. "I did say I wouldn't touch a guy. A quick wingardium leviosa and Clovis removus does wonders for that."

Hermione frowned. "'Clovis Removus'? there is no such spell."

Ron smiled. "Neville, what did you do on me the other night, when I get bladdered, as Harry likes to say?"

Neville replied, "Clovis Removus." He blushed and said, "I just thought of making "Remove clothing" sound like Latin, and hope the spell would work. Ron was irate about it until he noted that he still had his boxers on after it.

Hermione nodded, "You invented a spell? Nice work Neville. Now come on Ron, you earned a little extra for that handy work."

As the two left, Hermione swore she could hear Neville say, "But I invented it! And what do I get? 'Oh, nice work!' not fair, wish I had a girlfriend."

As she went to the girls dorms, levitating Ron behind her to avoid the anti-male traps, she saw in her peripheral vision Neville leaving the common room, grumbling.

---ooo000ooo---

Neville watched as Ron and Hermione left the dorms. He let himself, wanting a drink, and so left for the Kitchens.

As he neared, he heard something sounding like a pair of students getting all lovey dovey.

Then he heard a voice he would recognise anywhere. Which just confused him.

"Oh Pansy…"

Okay… Avoid at all costs. VIRGIN EARS!!! He shouted to himself, and mentally sang a very loud song to himself, as he passed where he suspected pansy and her lover were. Damn. Looks like someone's using Polyjuice to bag the Slytherin centre-fold. He thought to himself grimly, and continued on towards the kitchens.

---ooo000ooo---

When Neville returned to the common room, he picked a chair and began staring into the fireplace, when he heard the common room portrait entrance open, and heard someone moving. He turned to look and saw Harry take a invisibility cloak off, and walk upto the dorm. Minutes later, he saw a Pink-haired woman walk down the steps from the boys dorm and use the same cloak to leave. Neville was not seen himself.

Okay, Scratch that thought from before… Harry is using Tonks to cover for him, so he can bag the Slytherin centrefold himself… what the hell is going on?

Neville ran up to chat to Harry himself.

---ooo000ooo---

Harry plopped himself on his bed and was about to fall asleep when Neville came in.

Oh great, just when I thought I was free now…

"Harry, I know your awake. What's going on? Why was Tonks up here before?"

Harry got up, and frowned. "What makes you think Tonks was up here?"

"I saw you about half an hour ago, walk into the dorm and fall asleep so quickly we all wondered what was going on in your lessons with Dumbledore. Then a few minutes ago I see you enter the common room, but not from the dorms, and go up yourself. And then I see Tonks come from the dorms. I know about her ability. Why the heck is she pretending to be you?"

Harry closed his eyes and said, "Neville, please accept that I can't tell you. Its between myself, Tonks and –"

"Pansy Parkinson perhaps?" Neville asked, smirking abit.

Harry's look of shock at the 'guess' made Neville think, 'Maybe not.'

"How did you…?"

"Heard you when I went to the kitchens. Recognised your voice. Since I doubt Tonks would take your form, snog the life out of her and return here to tell you before leaving, It must have been you or someone who took Polyjuice. Tell me, other then because she looks great, why are you trying the bag the Slytherin centrefold? Malfoy's going to kill you."

Harry looked around, thinking for a moment before replying. "Well… I can't answer that. But you know I don't go for looks alone Neville. As far as Draco's concerned, I can handle him." Neville nodded then went to his bed. And shot up when Harry asked, "So, who were you going off to snog?"

"Harry!"

"Sorry, couldn't help it." After a few moments, when Neville was about to fall asleep, he heard, "So, where's Ron, Dean and Seamus?"

A/N

Correction to Last Chapters' Authors notes: its prologue (now), not Chapter 1 which takes place near the end. Just changed that 25th oct.

If anyone has suggestions for who the other 2 Hogwarts-Death Eaters are, tell me. And yes, this will be Harry/Pansy. Snape is evil, but not "I hate mudbloods" evil, just "I hate potter" evil. Chapter 5 4 or so will deal with that, dunno, not wrote chapter 3 yet. Again, Spelling mistakes/Grammar? Pm me with a paragraph (or section) quote with suggested correction if possible. Thank you.

If anyone's wondering, why aren't I working on my other existing stories? This one is entirely my own idea, I guess. Theres probably a story out there that uses a similar idea of harry infiltrating the death eaters in this manner, but meh, I haven't read any so allow me the pleasure of believing this to be an original idea.

For those who read If/When I start another but called "Pieces of Me", they're not related. Asof 25th October 05, I'm just planning out Pieces of Me, which is set across the 80's, mostly my own idea's. Based upon characters from a defunct Harry Potter RPG. The names and backgrounds of those characters unless otherwise stated will be taken from the rpg. Working on Birthcharts and so on so I can make sure a baby that isnt around in like chapter whatever isnt in it except if the mother is pregnant at that point. Lots of OC's!... anyway back to this story. (Yes, I know I am doing way toomany stories and a few updates then no updates for a while, but the story-writing muse mood doesn't come often, and when it does, for several stories.)
