Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anything related to it.
Harry and Ron had gotten separated from Hermione and ended up getting lost which made them a few minutes late to their class. Ron and Harry both push on the over sized door to open it. Once they had it open they both started running in to the room to get to their seats before Professor McGonagall would notice.
"Could you imagine the look on McGonagall if she saw that we where late" Ron said with a sigh of relive.
Just then the cat that was sitting on McGonagall's desk jumped forward towards Ron and Harry and took the shape of the transfigurations teacher.
"Bloody brilliant" Said Ron in a suck up and shocked tone of voice.
As Ron explained everything on why he and Harry were late Harry was busy away counting on how many Slytherins where in his class. He had counted six but three of them were Draco, Goyle, and crabbe and there was only one other guy. Harry also noticed that the two Slytherin girls where sitting next to each other and where in the front row where Harry and Ron's seats where.
"Mister Potter you might have had trouble finding the class but surly you won't have trouble finding your seat see as you friend has already" Said McGonagall with a very strict face on.
Harry started to his seat near the two Slytherin girls. He thought to himself that if any of them looked at him and he got the cold chill he would be able to find out who it was by the end of class. As he was thinking this a paper origami swan that had been enchanted to fly like a real swan landed on Harry's desk. He hesitated to open it thousands of thoughts where rushing into his.
"It wasn't the girls who sent this, and the only other Slytherins that where sitting behind him where guys. Could this mean that . . . no ill just have to open the note and see what it say's maybe it's from someone else." Harry thought very nervously as he picked up the letter with his hands shaking. He opened it and read it in his head the letter said.
"Got you didn't I? I knew the seats would happen like this so I put a charm on this note to fly to you from the back of the room to you half way through class. Sorry for the scare but it would just give it away if I made it to clear any way here is my first hint for you. I'm in Slytherin"
Harry thought to himself in relief "It could be worst this could have come from Draco". Harry was about to put the note in his pocket when it started to burn up and ashes started to fall from his hand. "I guess the person doesn't want anyone to know about this" Harry thought to himself.
"Harry . . . Harry was that another note from that person?" Ron whispered to him being nosey
"Ya but they didn't give me much of a hint this time" Harry whispered back to Ron
"Well what was the hint?" Ron asked curiously
"I'm in Slytherin house?" Harry said questioning if that was really a hint at all
Ron lifted his right eye brow and then went back to his notes that Professor McGonagall was giving to the class. Harry just sat there for a moment thinking and thinking. He then thought to himself hopefully the next hint will be better.
After a few minutes class was over and everyone started to work their ways to their next class. Harry, Ron, and Hermione met up in the hallway so they could walk to their next class together and so Harry and Ron didn't get lost again.
They started walking to their next class when Hermione asked "SO what did the note say"
"Nothing really it just gave me information that I already knew" Said Harry in a disappointed way
"Do you have any idea on who it might be from" Hermione asked curiously while they kept walking
"No but hopefully the next class will have one for me" Harry said excitedly
"Speaking of next class here we are potions with Snape" Ron said from the background.
The three all walked into the potions class sitting next to each other in the first row. Harry quickly counted all the Slytherins in the class this time there were five. Three of them were Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle again. The other two were the same girls as last time. As he was looking back to see them one of the girls from Slytherin smiled at Harry while the other just waved very shyly at that moment Professor Snape walked in.
"We will have no fancy wand waving in here" Said Snape in a strict voice
As Snape continued his inter lecture on why he hates everything Harry was busy way keeping his eye open for clues to who has the secret crush on him.
"Now I want everyone to go and pair up with a potions partner as I write your first assignment on the board and when I turn around you better have someone" Snape said in a very low emotionless voice.
As he turned around everyone was running around getting to their partners. Ron was going over to Harry and just before he sat down some one pushed him out of the way. Ron looked up to see that Crabbe had pushed him and token his seat next to Harry. Ron got back up on two feet and started walking to Hermione. Then Snape turned around and wrote down who was partners with who.
"What the devil was that all about" Ron said confusingly
"Alright now that everyone has their partners your first assignment is to go to the library at some point today and research the origin of the Doxycide potion, one page due tomorrow" Snape said in a non emotional tone "Now open your book to page 10 and start following the formula you will be graded after words"
"Ok so let's start" Harry said
Crabbe just nodded and went on reading to himself. Harry was confused on what just happen but he quickly shook it off and went back to finding the hints. A few hours past and it was time for lunch. The three Gryffindor's met up in the dinning to talk about the day and how it was going so far.
"So did you get anymore hints" Ron asked while chomping away at his lunch
"Nope just the letter" Harry said disappointed
"Well there was that other hint you got in potions" Hermione said smiling in a way that said she knew something they didn't
"Ya during potions where those girls where smiling and waving to me I think I might know who it is" Harry said
"Speaking of potions how weird was that when Crabbe pushed me and took you as a partner?" Ron asked.
"Harry, Ron I don't think you get it but Crabbe." Hermione stared to say but was interrupted when a owl flew right in front of her.
The owl then sat right next to Harry with a note tied to its leg. Harry knew it was the same owl from last night and he knew that the note on its leg had another hint from him. Harry took the note from the owls leg and read it. It said.
"Follow my owl it will lead you to me but you better be quick because my owl will try to escape your sight"
"Harry what's the note say" Hermione asked
"I got to go" Harry said as he quickly stood up and darted after the owl
Harry ran following the owl outside and leading him back in to where the staircases were. He knew one wrong move would mess up his chances on finding out on who this mystery person is. Harry was running as fast as he could but mid way through the chase the staircase he was on changed. Harry turned to look at where the owl was heading. It was the library Harry waited for the staircase to change back and when it did he ran like bloody hell to the library their he looked through book cases and tables to find the owl as he was heading into the restricted section when he turned he saw the owl and the person holding it.
"It's. . . It's. . . you?"
Arthurs Note: ok so cliff hanger kind of because we already know who it is but ya chapter 3 and usually this is when I would say chapter 4 is on its way but it's not ill be taking a three day break.
