"Whoa!" Delphine gazed at Harry's cloak, amazed at its ability, "I've heard these existed, but I never saw one before!"

"How could you? The people wearing them were invisible!" Harry teased as they left the common room.

"And, your father gave this to you?" she asked as they snuck down the hallways.

"It was given to me during my first year here. But yes, this was his."

Harry stopped talking after that. Delphine could tell right off he didn't liking about his parents, so, she got onto another topic, "You know, you never told me where we were going tonight. So, where are we going tonight?"

They stopped just before the courtyard outside in the pitch black night.

Harry unfolded the cloak and explained, "I was talking to Hagrid today; he said he needs some help with some creatures he's capturing for the upcoming semester."

Delphine looked a little nervous, "Hagrid? I dunno Harry; I'm not really a 'people person'. Hell, I still have a hard time talking to you!"

He looked back at her surprised; he'd always figured that boys were always nervous around girls, not the other way around. Still, he shrugged it off and wrapped the large cloak around them both.

Delphine grabbed onto her side, accidentally bumping into Harry. They looked at each other for a split second, and then began to run across the lawn. After the long way down the hill to Hagrid's, they were soon knocking on his door.

After a couple knocks, Hagrid answered with lots of rope piled over one shoulder, "'Ey Arry! Yer on time!"

Harry took the rope from Hagrid and turned to Delphine, "Thanks Hagrid. This is Delphine Waldgrave; she'll be helping us tonight."

Hagrid shut the door behind him and bent over far to shake the girl's hand, "It's nice to meet ya Miss Waldgrave! I 'ear yer teachin' 'Arry 'ere a great deal about potions!"

Delphine shook his giant hand shyly and squeaked, "As much as I can Professor Hagrid."

Hagrid laughed as they followed him around to the back of his bungalow, "Oh there's no need to be callin' me 'Professor'. Justcall me Hagrid!"

He bent over a giant trunk and pulled out a gallon sized container with bluish-silver liquid inside. Curiously, Harry asked, "What's that?"

Before Hagrid could answer, Delphine stated, "It looks like pelgent-glue. Professor- I mean Hagrid, what are you using that for? That glue is specially made for rare creatures like-"

"Like Erumpents perhaps?" Hagrid said with a grin, "I like this gal 'Arry! She's bright as'Ermione!"

Before they got even further ahead of him, Harry interceded, "Hold on, what's an Erumpent?"

Hagrid chucked the container of pelgent-glue into Delphine's stomach as he walked ahead of them into the Forbidden Forest, "An Erumpent is similar to a rhinoceros. 'Owever, its skin is so thick and strong that any magic 'eading its way will reflect off of it. And not only are its 'orns sharp, but the fluid produced from 'em can make any living thing explode!"

Harry tried to keep all the ropes balanced in his arms, "And we want to find this thing?"

Hagrid stopped behind a great oak tree and lowered to their level, whispering, "Well, they are known to be peaceful creatures. It's only when they're bein' provoked that they're at all dangerous! Besides, I've come into contact with Egbert before!"

Taking the container from Delphine, he mouthed to them silently to stay there. As he went to a plain of grass thirty feet away to lay down the glue, Delphine smiled at Harry.

"He really does love mystical creatures, doesn't he?" she commented in a whisper.

Harry shook his head as he watched his giant of a friend, "More than anything else in the world. If I knew it'd work, I would've talked him out of this before we even came into the woods. But, knowing Hagrid…"

"I understand," she remarked, "Someone I knew was like that. He loved his job; he obsessed over it every minute of every day. Nothing could part Dee from working; not a thing."

Harry watched her face go from memorable, to almost heartbreaking. But, before he had time to comfort her, they both heard an odd noise. It sounded like a deep growl. Frantically, they looked from behind the tree to where Hagrid had been.

He was still there fortunately, but he wasn't alone. He had a great pile of carrots in his outstretched hands and began softly calling to the Erumpent, "Ey Egbert! I've got some nice carrots for ya! 'Arry, as soon as the Erumpent's stuck, you two come out and tie him up good!"

Harry nodded to Hagrid, trying not to upset Egbert. Delphine and he watched as the Erumpent approached the glue spot slowly and carefully. Egbert hesitated, and began drawing back just a little. But Hagrid wouldn't give up; he moved closer to Egbert and encouraged him. Finally, they met in the middle.

However, he Egbert gnawed on the carrots, Hagrid tried to move his feet, but couldn't. Both he and Egbert were stuck in the pelgent-glue.

"Oh no!" Harry whispered. Taking the rope, Harry went out to help tie up Egbert and get Hagrid out of his mess.

But just then, Hagird yelled out, "LOOK OUT 'ARRY!"

Without hesitation, Harry leaped from his spot, losing the rope. When he landed, it didn't take him long to realize that his right arm was stuck a few feet from Hagrid in the Pelgent-glue.

"What was that for?" Harry screamed at Hagrid, trying to free his hand from the glue.

With a look of great terror on his face, Hagrid pointed in the direction of the trouble. Harry's eyes almost popped out of his head. There, only a few meters away from him, was a Lethifold

A Lethifold is much worse than a snake. This one looked about twenty feet long with dark green scales along its back. As it slithered, it made to trail whatsoever. Harry gasped as its mouth opened wide, revealing two more mouths inside the biggest one.

Harry tried to reach for his hand, but his right-hand pocket was too far. He struggled with all his might as the Lethifold charged. But suddenly, Delphine jumped in front of them, holding her wand high.

Suddenly, Harry heard two words he hadn't heard in quite sometime, "EXPECTO PATRONUM!"

A brilliant flash went through the entire forest. Covering his eyes, Harry struggled to see what was happening. Gaining focus, he saw what looked like a phoenix. Looking out ahead of the phoenix, he could see that the Lethifold was quickly retreating away.

A moment after, Delphine's patronus disappeared, and she lowered her wand. There was stillness for a long time.

Afterwards, she quietly cast the spells to free both Harry and Hagrid from the glue. They silently tied up Egbert and dissolved the rest of the glue. Later, after Harry and Delphine left Hagrid's hut, Harry motioned her to get under the cloak as they enter the building.

However, Delphine refused with the shake of her head. Harry sighed and pleaded, "Come on! What are you waiting for?"

But, Delphine gave Harry a look that put all questions and arguments aside. He could tell by her stare that she couldn't go in just yet. So, Harry nodded understandingly, and left her in the courtyard alone.

As he put on the cloak, he looked back at her. He could see her walking over to the gardens, wand in her hand just in case. She'll be alright, Harry thought to himself. And he knew she would be; after the performance she put on that night, he could tell there is a lot more to her than meets the eye.

Walking along the tall rose bushes, Delphine looked behind her to make sure no one was around. Quickly, she went to the center of the bushes and stopped in front of the fountain holding a sculpture of the four founders of the school.

Going up to the pool of water flowing from the spouts above, she gripped her wand in her left hand nervously. As though unable to take whatever she was feeling at that moment any longer, she put her wand to her temple and uttered an unknown incantation. Then, a small blue light flashed out of the wand and the pool of water turned a deep silver shade.

In a swift motion, Delphine flicked the blue flash from her temple into the silver pool. The blue faded into the silver, and as she lowered her wand, the silver turned back to the crystal blue water.

Putting her wand away, she looked bitterly into the water. Finally, she walked back into the castle.

Every night, without Harry's knowledge, she came back to the garden and used the pool as a Pensieve.

Then, two weeks later, Delphine left the Gryffindor Tower in the middle of the night.

She tiptoed all the way to the astronomy tower without seeing Mrs. Norris or Filch.

Climbing all the steps, she finally made it outside to the top of the astronomy tower, where she could see all the stars in the sky. Taking a breath of the cool breeze hitting her face, she closed her eyes in delight.

Then, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. It was the same piece of paper that she had copied out of the Defense against the Dark Arts, Level 12. For a little while, she sat and studied the paper.

After she was done, she got up and put the paper back into her pocket. Then, she took off her sweater and threw it aside. Her green willow and dragon heartstring was in her hand tightly as she raised it high and commanded, "Waddiwasi!" (A very powerful summoning spell).

With great force, a small purple jar flew toward her at great speed. As it sped towards her, she moved her wand, causing the jar to fall to the ground softly. The lid of the jar opened and out flew a demon beetle (a poisonous black and yellow beetle that can be deadly depending on the bite).

As the beetle began to fly directly towards Delphine, she narrowed her eyes to an evil look with a grin. Again, she raised her wand; but this time, she said something that she had learned from the piece of paper, "CRUCIO!" (The Cruciatus Curse; used to torture and cause great amounts of pain. If a wizard used this on another human, they would be sent to Azkaban).

A great orange flash flew from Delphine's wand. The perfect aim hit the beetle, stopping it all together and throwing it to the ground. It struggled on the ground just to live as Delphine continued to hit it over and over in a constant flash. After a few moments, her eyes turned red and she was consumed in the power of the torturing spell.

Suddenly, breaking her trance, something hit her, causing her to fall. Dropping her wand, she hit the concrete hard. She looked over at the beetle, which was gasping for air on the ground. Then, she was amazed to see it floating into the air, and then put into the purple jar and shut with the lid.

As it fell slowly to the ground, she realized who it was. She grabbed her wand and with a swift move, pointed the wand in a spot and slid the invisibility cloak off of Harry. She lowered her wand and sat up, looking at a very unhappy Harry.

He aimed his wand at her and warned her, "You'd better explain what your doing messing around with deadly spells quick or I'll take you to Dumbledore!"

Dusting herself and getting up, she replied, "Harry, there's no need to be rash! I promise you; I'm not evil!"

Delphine tried to get Harry to lower his wand, but he wouldn't. He moved forward slowly, backing her against the balcony of the tower.

"Then why were you using one of the three most deadly spells known to wizards on that beetle? Practicing for the main event? Ah, it makes sense now! You don't ever talk to anyone; but suddenly you start talking to me this summer. I bet you arranged you being my tutor so you could get close to me; to gain my trust, which you did by saving my life along with Hagrid's! You probably sent that Lethifold on us that night! You're really working for Voldemort! That's it! You're the new henchman for Voldemort!"

By this point, Harry was holding her by the throat with his wand at her head. Becoming enraged by the sight of her, he threw her to the ground. Delphine coughed and gasped for air, looking back up at Harry hopelessly.

Harry looked up at the stars, wondering why he hadn't seen this from the get-go. He'd been played by a teenaged girl. Of course Voldemort knew he couldn't resist the charms of a girl; it was the perfect plan.

Looking down at his supposed enemy, he saw something that he didn't expect. Delphine was letting honest tears drop to the ground. Seeing this, obliviously Harry had rambled on a false accusation.

He began to walk towards her, but she put her hand in front of her to stop him. He froze. Clumsily and frightened, Delphine picked herself up and grabbed her sweater, running inside from the Astronomy Tower.

She didn't deny Harry's accusations or explain herself; but from the look on her face, Harry knew he was wrong.

The next morning, Harry didn't see Delphine in the common room at all. He went to the Great Hall, but she was still gone. Finally, he went to the Potion's dungeon. Inside, Harry saw a cauldron out and a few papers. It was the potion's exam. It had all the directions on there; it read:

Please fill out the following pages to the best ability you can. Leave the papers here and they will be taken care of. Your score will be posted a week from today.

After the test, Harry looked all over the campus for Delphine. He checked all the classrooms, the library, the courtyard, the lake. She was gone. Days passed and there was no sign of her. Fed up with it, Harry headed for Professor Dumbledore's office.

Bursting through the great door of his office, he went up to his desk very impatient and demanding.

"Professor Dumbledore-" he started.

Dumbledore stopped him before he could speak. Knowing what he was worried about, Dumbledore looked at Harry through his half-moon glasses and said, "You are here because of Miss Waldgrave, are you not?"

"Yes. Where is she?" Harry could care less about lectures now. He had to talk to her.

Rising from his desk, Dumbledore walked around from his desk and looked around his office, "She has taken a week off to go and see her family. Don't worry, she will be back Saturday."

"Oh," Harry wasn't satisfied with this answer, and he felt he had to be honest with someone, "Professor, there's something I have to tell you. It's about Delphine; I think I scared her."

Dumbledore chuckled and replied, "Teenagers these days; the way you act around each other is like ridiculous lost little love-sick puppies!"

Appalled and in shocked, Harry stood up for what he believed, "I am no 'love-sick puppy' professor. I just acted too rash. I wanted to apologize to Delphine. I think she hates me."

"Oh Harry," Dumbledore went to the Hogwarts yearbook section in his office and picked out a book, "She's fine. Don't worry about it; you can talk to her when she comes back. I think you will find in that time, she will open up to you about things."

He opened up one of the yearbooks. Harry saw that it was the book from his forth year; the year he was in the Triwizard Tournament. Dumbledore opened the book to a page and leaned over to Harry, "There is a lot more to this mystery girl than you know about Harry."

Peering onto the page, Harry saw a picture of Delphine in her forth year. He gasped he was so shocked. In the moving portrait, there was a completely opposite Delphine. She had on makeup, her hair was well kept and in big bouncy curls, and she had a big smile. It was obvious from her robes that she was a popular girl, because in every picture he saw she was surrounded with people. And her name was not written as Delphine, it was Dellie.
