'thoughts'
A few weeks had passed since the second task and things had gotten very quiet. But they had a plan to get one on Granger and the Weasel. They had it coming to them. That where having a contact in the media came in helpful.
Harry was slightly uncomfortable with their plan for Hagrid, but how he viewed Slytherin and Harry friends made Harry not care all too much. He had been rather cold with Harry the more the year went on.
So it was on one sunny Saturday afternoon, the Slytherin's and Harry where circled in the grounds talking to a betel with spectacle markings.
"Me and Harry overheard Weasley and Granger talking about drugging Victor Krum with love potions. Also how she used beauty potion on herself. All in an attempt to get Harry to crawl back to them."
Harry snorted "Like I would ever go back to being friends with them idiots."
The others laughed at this.
"But I can confirm it as fact Miss Skeeter."
"Well now on to the 'dirt' on the Oath." Draco said smirking with the others.
"Well I was mauled by a Hippogriff in our first ever lesson. In his first ever class as well. "
"I got a nasty bite off a Flobber Worm" Vince spoke up.
Harry smirked at this.
"Harry you got to have loads of dirt on him." Pansy spoke up.
Harry breathed in. "Of course I do."
"Go on spill it." She said.
"Well keep me anonymous all tho he will know it me." He smirked.
The all nodded and the betel flapped it wings. Everyone including Harry smirked.
"Well where to begin." He said. "Well just after midnight he tried to turn my cousin into a pig, only giving him a pig's tail. After this in the morning he used illegal magic to speed up a muggle rowing boat. He had and raised an illegal dragon egg in his cabin, that I and another where forced to help smuggle out of the school. Well up the astronomy tower. he made me and Draco go off on our own in the Forbidden forest at night for a detention. He was in Knockturn alley trying to get Flesh eating slug replant to put on the school cabbages. He was falsely expelled for opening the chamber of secrets, but he was raising an Acromanchula in the school. What is still in the forest. He found it a mate and now there is a hoard of them. It told it family to eat me and the other person I was with. We were lucky to escae but a charmed car showed up to save us. Third year you know of his transgressions. This year he has bread an illegal hybrid of Manticore and Fire Crab. He has named Blast Ended Screwts. They are vicious savages. Hagrid is kind hearted, but he is too dangerous to be around students. Let alone teach us." Harry concluded.
"Yeah we all fear Hagrid and we are scared of him." Pansy said.
"He is too dangerous to be around us. But Dumbledore seems to trust him to much." She added.
"Oh and if you insult him he will attack you. That is insult Dumbledore. That why he gave my Cousin the tail because my uncle insulted him." Harry said.
"You see he too dangerous!" Daphne blurted out.
The beetle flapped it wings three times they knew this as a sign of thank you and it flew off.
The group smirked and headed back to the castle for lunch.
A week passed and the first article was released. At the Slytherin table the group was listening to Pansy reading her copy of Witch Weekly.
"Looks like little miss know it all secrets out." Tracy smirked
The others nodded just then a gaggle of owls landed next to Victor Krum. As he read his face went more and more sickly. "Um Harry vay I borrow that?" He pointed to Pansy magazine. Pansy nodded and look at him apologetically. After this Krum handed it back and looked broken. "Vank you for bring this to light." With that he left the Great Hall.
As breakfast went on, a flock of owls landed in front of Granger. As she opened one letter a scream of pain was heard. She scooped up her letters and bag, and ran from the hall her eyes flooded with tears. The Slytherin table burst out in laughter.
Time passed and Harry went off to History of Magic, whilst the others went off to Transfiguration. Harry just ignored everyone in it but Ron was scowling at him, along with a few others. Well that was tell they fell asleep. After this he met up with the others in Ancient Runes. He sat down next to Daphne smirking. Granger walked in late puffy eyed, and her hands heavily bandaged.
"Well little miss Mudblood looks hurt." Daphne muttered.
"Why yes she does Daph." Harry said back.
Hermione shot the pair a filthy look.
Harry and Daphne sniggered.
Class passed relatively as normal, except Granger was sobbing as she could not hold a quill without causing pain to herself. As did the rest of the day, that was tell potions started.
Harry and the Slytherin's where all ready waiting when the Gryffindor's showed up.
"Hey Granger, did your boy friend brake up with you, why was you crying at breakfast."
Weasley scowled.
"Or did he find out about the drugging." She said cruelly. Harry and the other Slytherin's laughed.
"Oh it seems you don't know why you are getting all this hate a Mudblood deserves." Pansy taunted.
"You might find something interesting in there." She threw a copy of Witch Weekly at her feet.
"WHY YOU LITTLE PUG!" Weasley yelled.
"Furnunculus!" Weasley yelled.
"Expelliarmus." Harry said lazily.
But the force of it still knocked him down and his wand flying.
"Weasley 50 points from Gryffindor for use of magic in the corridor's."
There was an up roar from the Gryffindor's but Weasley's was heard. "Why you slimy greasy bat what about Potter!"
Snape face turned dark and angry. "Right that ten points from each of you so 80 and an extra 50 from you Weasley. Also a months' worth of detention including weekends starting tonight, my office 7 o'clock. Oh yes and Potter for defending a fellow student five point to Gryf." He saw the look on Harry face. "Oh five points to Slytherin." harry and the Slytherin's smirked at the looks on the Gryffindor's faces."
"Now inside all off you." They all went in Harry and the Slytherin's elated the Gryffindor seething with rage.
As they took their seats Snape started talking. "You will find you're your blood poisoning antidotes, how you left them last time. At the end of the next class we will test them or at least some." He looked at the Gryffindor's with a dark look in his eyes. Harry and the Slytherin's sniggered. They heard Longbottom whimper and a few of them gulp in fear.
Suddenly Snape strode of to the back of the room. "What is this reading magazines in class. That is 50 points from you Weasley and 50 from you Granger. Also your detention has been increased from one month too two months Weasley, and Granger you will join him for them two months. But of course Granger has to keep up with her press cuttings." He began to start reading.
"GRANGER DANGER!
Well here we are with a situation I thought I'd never see. Well at least hope I'd never see. Who would have thought a girl in a dress could make a mess, and be so beautiful to him. it seems like his eyes where transfigured, something deep inside had changed. But it was something more. Something far worse. Love potions and beauty potions. Yes of course love potions are banned at Hogwarts, and I am sure Proffesor Albus Dumbledore will be investigating this further. This could have damaged Mister Krum Quidditch carrier, being obsessive about a girl. Yes some silly little girl named Hermione Jean Granger, slipped Victor Krum a love potion. She also used beauty potions. What of course are not banned at Hogwarts, but love potions are. But there was a reason behind this, it was a plan between her and Ronald Bilious Weasley, to get Harry Potter the Boy who lived youngest tri wizard champion ever leading in the tournament to come back to them. Yes after the betrayed him, and shunned him and want to get him back just because he proved he can find new friends that a far better than them. Yes this was all over heard by Harry Potter and Daphne Greengrass. It was a good thing this was discovered for what would have happened to Mister Krum. Also Harry Potter quotes "Like I would ever go crawling back to them. I hate them" This is a normal response in my opinion and I am sure, most of the wizarding community will agree with me, if not all of them. But let us hope for the best for Mister Krum, and hope he finds someone more worthy of him. I wish al the Champions the best of luck in the third and final task.
By Rita Skeeter (special correspondent)
Granger and Weasley where burning with embarrassment. The Gryffindor where burning with rage.
Harry and the Slytherin's where barely concealing their laughter and joy at the humiliation Weasley and Granger where suffering through.
"Well, well, well now I know who stole from my stores. That is detention for the rest of the school year for the pair of you. Also another one hundred points each from Gryffindor. But I am sure your head of house will also come up with a punishment and our head master. You will be lucky not to be expelled."
This was two much Harry and the Slytherin's laughed loudly and coldly. Snape smirked. "Begin" Snape strode away without another word.
Class passed in relative silence from one half of the room, who were all burning with rage for different reason. Some for the amount of points lost, some for how the pair had been treated and some angry with what Harry had done, and helped with.
At the end of the class Snape spoke up "Mister Potter I require a word with you after class." Snape said in a tone he talks to the Slytherin's
Some Gryffindor looked delighted but Harry knew he had nothing to fear.
When the last person had left and the Dungeon door had shut he spoke.
"Mister Potter I would like to begin with an apology."
"For what sir?"
"In the past I have not been to fair on you. In truth I have been cruel and awful. In truth I saw you just as your father, but in truth your nothing like him. maybe it was because you were in Gryffindor maybe it because of how you look so similar to him. but I would like to say I am sorry."
"It is no problem sir, and in truth the sorting hat wanted me in Slytherin."
Snape lips twitched. "Well let us hope it still does in September. "
"yes sir let's but I think it will."
"I must agree."
"I can see you were not the bad influence, but it was more Weasley and in part Granger. You yourself seem to be not much of a rule breaker. Or more the way a Slytherin would bend the rules to reach their goals."
"Thank you sir"
"You are quiet welcome. Now comes something else, in my time here I gave myself a title known as the half-blood prince. Due to my mother's name and being a half blood. But I think he needs a successor." Just then Snape pulled out four old potions books.
"These where mine and my mothers with notes I have added. Please take good care of them they are yours now. Any little spells in there you want to know the effect of please ask me. Also when a new book is on the list I will give you my copy as well. Just don't bring them to class. In case of certain lions getting a look at them." Harry took this to meaning as you can show Slytherin's.
"Thank you sir."
"You are quiet welcome Po- I mean you are quiet welcome Harry." He said correcting himself. "You may leave." Snape smiled at him. Harry nodded and left.
Harry left and Daphne was waiting for him.
"Hey Harry." She said hugging him.
"Hey Daph." He said hugging her back.
But at dinner something surprising happened.
"So what did Snape want?"
"Oh wanted to give me some books, and apologise about how he treated me."
"Wow that is a shock for Snape." She said.
"Yeah it is." Their hands entwined and they went for a walk around the lake.
after a while they decided to go up to dinner. But half way through something surprising happen Harry told them about the story with Snape, and where please to hear it. As it meant he saw Harry as a Slytherin. But then Proffesor McGonagall came to see Harry.
"Potter I would like to see you in my office tonight, after the dinner please."
"Of course Proffesor."
"Very well Potter I will see you then."
After dinner Harry bid farewell to his friends and headed up to McGonagall's office.
Harry knocked on the door. "Enter please."
"Ah Potter come in. sit please."
"Potter I will make this brief. We all know what is going to happen in September. So it is probably for the best you get used to having class with the house we all know you're going to end up with. What do you think Potter?"
"I think that is for the Best Proffesor."
"Very good Potter also for the rest of this year, how would a private room sound to you so it does not loom suspicious we have offered Mister Digorey one and the other two champions, so they have private area the practice and prepare."
"I would quiet like that Proffesor."
"Very good Potter your belongings will be moved there. I shall show you the way to it now."
She tapped a blank time table. "Your new time table. I shall give it to you in your room."
"Thank you Proffesor."
"I had to speak to Proffesor Snape. Personal I expected him to be difficult but he was most willing more than willing really. For your room you may set your own password, also you may invite people in. So there is no need to worry about that Potter."
Harry nodded.
"Well Potter shall we go there now?"
"I think that would be wise Proffesor."
She nodded. "Potter I am sorry for how you have been treated this year but that article may have been a bit extreme. But I am not going to punish you."
Harry had to bite back a retort, he did not say much accept. "Okay Proffesor."
"Come then Potter." She stood up and led him through the castle. They arrived in the same corridor as Moody's classroom.
"Potter." She said to a portrait of a wizard in emerald robes. That he had gone passed any times.
The room had a living area with four doors coming off it. "These are normally for guest's potter or the head boy and girl if they want one."
"Thank you Proffesor."
"You are quiet welcome. I am sure within the hour the house elf's will be bringing your belongings down to you."
"Thank you Proffesor." She handed him a piece of parchment. "Your new time table."
"Thank you Proffesor."
She nodded. "Well Potter I will leave and let you get settled. Also I will tell Hubert to come and see you about your password."
"Thank you." He said and she nodded and left.
Harry sat down in one of the green leather arm chairs by the roaring fire. He thought to himself 'this is going to be much better.' Just then Hubert appeared in the portrait over the fire.
"Mister Potter, what would you like your password to be?"
"Champion please."
He nodded. "if you want to change it please ask me to come see you in here."
"Of course." He said Hubert nodded and left.
Just then a crack happened and Dobby, Winky, and another house elf appeared. "Harry Potter sir!"
"Hello Dobby."
"Young master." The other elf bowed.
Winky said nothing.
"We must be putting your belongings in Harry Potter bedroom." The elf said.
"Thank you Dobby."
"We be leaving nothing of yours behind we made sure."
"Thank you Dobby."
"But if Dobby has he will throw himself in the oven."
"There will be no need for that Dobby."
"Thank you Harry Potter sir, if anything is missing please call Dobby."
"Of course Dobby. Could you get me some Sandwiches and Pumpkin fizz please Dobby?"
"Of course Harry Potter sir. I shall bring it when your things be in the bedroom."
"Thank you Dobby."
The elf beamed and they went to work.
After they left within seconds Dobby was back.
"Thank you Dobby."
"Dobby is all ready to serve Harry Potter."
Harry smiled at the elf.
"Dobby must be going Harry Potter."
Harry nodded and with a bow and a crack he was gone.
Harry sat down in and arm chair and opened his new time table.

Harry read it over and saw what his new week would look like. He was glad he already had his homework done for this week, so he did not have to rearrange. He ate the food and drink he asked Dobby to bring up. Then he decided to look around his room.
He saw off the other three doors there was a bathroom had a huge bath tub. It was like a swimming pool with hundreds of different taps. Harry was looking forward to testing it out. There was also a library/ study area and a training room. He decided he would get an early night and went to bed. It turned out his room had a very large plush bed with green silk hangings. At the sight of it Harry smiled to himself and got ready for bed. The next day was Saturday and a Hogsmead day, he went down to meet his friends for breakfast, and to tell them what happened the previous night.
"Morning Harry." Pansy said to him. she was the only one who was up yet. Other Slytherin's nodded to him. in reality he was not Gryffindor's champion he was Slytherin's champion.
"Morning Pansy you okay?"
"Yeah you sleep well in that hovel."
"Well I slept well but it not a hovel."
"How so?" She smirked and looked confused.
"Well I got a private room tell the end of the year." He said lowering his voice. Palceing a finger to his lips.
She smirked. "Well at least your away from those scum."
"Yeah I am. To bad they did not just move me to Slytherin." He smirked.
"Yeah. We all know what is going to happen."
"Funny McGonagall and Snape said the same thing."
"Well at least she knows where you truly belong and not one of her cowardly lions."
Harry laughed.
"Well is that all she wanted?"
"Not quiet."
"What else was it then?"
"Why don't I show you." He handed her a piece of parchment.
"What's this?"
"Take a read."
"Wait why have you got a copy of our time table?"
"Stop acting like a Gryffindor and think." He smirked.
Her eyes widened in understanding. "Oh you're with us full time."
"Yes." He said.
"Well good you're with the right people full time."
"Yeah I am."
Just then the rest of them arrived and where pleased with Harry news. Daphne was ecstatic and flung her arms around Harry.
After breakfast they all walked into Hogsmead but Harry and Daphne separated from the rest. They had decided to go on a date today. They came to a restaurant known as the Dragon's Plate. Just as he went in he saw a shaggy back dog, as large as a bear.
"Hey Daph you know how Sirius Black is innocent?"
"Yeah. Why you ask?"
"Well I told you he is my god father. Oh and I think that is him over there." He pointed to a dog heading off towards the mountains. It was going through back streets.
"Well Harry we could stay here what it near to impossible to get a reservation for."
"Yeah will stay here."
She laughed. "No I want to come on one of your adventures. But let's do it in a more Slytherin way."
"Yeah."
"Also Harry Potter could get a reservation anywhere if he wanted to." Daphne smirked.
"Is that why you love me?" He teased.
"No I love you because of your personality, and you're not bad on the eyes."
"Thanks." He smirked and smiled.
"I saw an opportunity to take it after you where betrayed by the ones you thought as friends. because I have loved you for years." She pulled him into a long kiss.
"fair enough" He teased poking her in the side when they broke apart smirking.
"Hey!" Harry just laughed again.
"Come on." She took his hand and they snuck off after the black dog.
They followed it along tell they came to a stile what led out of Hogsmead and a path up into the mountains. They tripped and stumbled all the way along before they saw the dog despairing into a cave and they followed it in.
"Sirius?" Harry asked as the dog transformed into his god father.
"I must say Harry I did not think you noticed me, when you when you are with a young lady."
Harry burned with embarrassment, Daphne sniggered at this.
Sirius sat down on a rock, and Daphne pulled Harry down on one opposite. She rested her head on his shoulder.
Sirius smirked. "Your better than your father he did not get a girlfriend tell seventh year."
Harry just ignored him.
"So what house are you in?"
Daphne smirked at this. "Slytherin mister Black."
Sirius looked shocked at this.
"Even less like your father."
"Well Sirius I should be in Slytherin but I asked to be in Gryffindor. But I will most likely be resorted into Slytherin in September. But don't tell a soul."
"Mam the word. But why if I can ask?"
"Dumbdlore orders not to let other students find out."
"No not that why will you be resorted and why would you want to?"
"Well your whole house turning on you and finding true friends in Slytherin will make you realise a lot."
there was an awkward silence after this pronouncement tell Sirius spoke again.
"So Harry there a few things that I wanted to tell you."
Sirius went on for an hour saying how there was someone trying to kill him and to be careful. Harry just barely paid attention. Eventually they bid Sirius good bye and they followed them back down the mountain, in search of a newspaper. He did say one thing to Daphne tho.
"You are not what people think a Slytherin is young lady." Harry and Daphne had to fight back laughter. But she smiled politely at him and said "Why of course not were not all evil."
Sirius smiled back and with that they had started down the mountain.
When they were back in the village Harry rolled his eyes. "Well that was a pain. Sorry Daph."
"It's fine my fault really I wanted to go on an 'adventure'." Harry laughed.
With that they decided to actually get something to eat, but went to a café in Hogsmead. After that they enjoyed the rest of the day in peace.
When they arrived back at the castle Weasley tried to cause problems as normal.
"Oi!"
Harry and Daphne just ignored him and continued up the marble staircase.
"ARE YOU DEAF!" he yelled after them.
Harry turned around and looked board. "Sorry Weasley I just ignore scum."
"Then why do you pay attention to the one on your arm?" He said back.
"Wrong words Weasley. Stupefy!" He went flying down the marble staircase and slammed into a wall.
Granger ran after him. "Stupefy!" She crumpled on the floor at Daphne spell.
They walked over to them, and revived them taking their wands first.
"Now Weasley what did you want?" Harry smirked.
He plunged into his robes for his wand.
Looking for this Harry teased. Weasley lunged for it Harry booted him in the stomach back to the ground. "At my feet where you belong you dog!?"
Granger was about to go for her wand but Daphne wafted it teasingly. "Sorry Mudblood no wand for you." Harry laughed.
"You won't get away with this. You think your so much better getting your own place, and getting moved classes." Weasley spat.
Harry laughed. "Oh that what this is about. But I know I am better than you." Daphne laughed.
Weasley burned red. "Oh Weasley it be so much more fun if you had the brains to fight back. You to Granger." Harry tossed Weasley's wand at his feet. Daphne did the same to Granger's wand.
"I am going to have to wash my hands when we get to your room Harry." She put a lot of emphasis on your.
"Why is that Daph?" He questioned playing along.
"Touching a Mudblood's robes and wand."
Harry laughed coldly and they waked away.
Before Weasley and Granger could do anything Harry and Daphne where gone.
Harry and Daphne did not get into trouble for what had happened, due to the fact Weasley and Granger had been told not to antagonise Harry and his friends. But they were stupid enough to show memories. Well they had to but they should have been smart enough to stay quiet.
(Time skip!)It was May 24th and Harry had been told to meet Ludo Bagman down on the Qudittch pitch that even at seven for information on the third task.
"So Harry what do you think the task will be?" Daphne asked. It was him, Daphne, Pansy, Tracy and Theodore in Harry living area.
"No idea."
Everyone laughed.
Just then Draco bust in. "I got it!" Draco sounded excited.
"Got what?" Pansy asked.
"Information on the task dung brain." Everyone but Pansy laughed, she just sulked.
After the laughed had died down Draco finally spoke. "Well it's a maze. You have to get past a number of obstacles. Apparently the oath is providing a number of creatures."
All the girls paled. "THAT OAG GOING TO GET YOU KILLED HARRY!" Daphne screamed.
The others nodded but Harry looked calm. "Not as long as I act logically."
"Or act like a Gryffinbor." Tracy said jokingly.
Everyone laughed.
"Yes or that." He smiled back.
"Well going on." Draco said. "By obstacles I meant spells and enchantments. Also there something that is not against the rules."
"What's that?" Harry asked
"Well let's say it not very noble." Draco responded with a smirk on his face.
"Go on." Harry said smirking himself.
"Cursing, jinx or hexing other champions."
"Oh my that will be fun." Harry smiled darkly.
"Well let's get practicing." Theodore said.
Harry nodded and they all got up to go to the training room.
That evening Harry had headed down to the Quidditch pitch, they had eaten in Harry living area. When he got to the Quidditch pitch not to his surprise he found hedges. He listened politely and left quickly. Ludo Bagman tried to off him help but Harry quickly shook him off. Harry did see Moody heading in the direction of Hagrid's hut but Harry ignored it. When Harry got to his room Daphne, Pansy and Draco where waiting for him.
"Well?" Daphne asked.
"Obviously Draco was right." Harry said.
Draco smirked. "Was there any doubt?"
"No there was not. Thanks Draco I owe you one all of you."
"Of course you don't what are friends for?"
The girls nodded.
"True thanks." Harry smiled.
The others nodded and smiled back.
(Time skip!)
Today was the 24th of June and Harry woke early. To his surprise Daphne was waiting for him in the living area.
"Oh morning you."
Daphne smiled widely. Yes, she may be known as an ice queen around Hogwarts but really wasn't like that well not to her friends and fellow Slytherin's that was, she giggled. "Morning Harry."
"So going to wait for me to have a bath, or just came to say morning?"
"Wait for you of course."
"I will be quick then." And he was he was ready within ten minutes. He and Daphne linked arms and headed down to the Great hall.
"So Harry nervous?" She asked caringly.
"A little but it mainly because I know what creatures the Oaf would provide."
"That true, well just don't get yourself killed. But if you don't win I am braking up with you."
Harry looked shocked, but he was just acting. "Kidding." She said.
"I know" And he kissed her on the cheek.
They eventually arrived at the Great hall and Harry was greeted by a cheer of all tables but what. The Gryffindor's booed and hissed as he went to sit down.
"So Harry what you going to do in Flitwick's class read again?" Draco asked.
"I guess nothing better to do."
Just then Snape came over "Potter I have been asked to deliver a message to you the Champions do not require going to class to day their family have been invited to visit."
"Oh okay sir."
"Your family may not be coming but I do believe someone has come to visit you." Harry looked confused as did everyone else. Harry just nodded and Snape strode off.
"What was all that about?" Harry said.
"No idea Draco responded with."
Just then everyone had to start to go to exams and Harry said bye to his friends. When the hall emptied Harry got up and headed towards the antechamber nervously. When Harry got to the room he saw a tall man with blonde hair but by his eyes he could tell who it was. This man must be Daphne father. Harry went over to the man.
"Hello sir." Harry held out his hand.
"Please Mister Potter call me Douglas."
"Of course Douglas but only if you would call me Harry."
"I believe young Harry we have a deal." He smiled at him.
"So Douglas what can I be of assistance with?"
"Not much Harry I would just like to meet my Daphne first boyfriend."
"First?"
"Oh yes Daphne has never had a boyfriend I assume you have never had a girlfriend." He smiled.
"You are correct their sir."
He smiled. "Would you walk with me Harry?"
"Of course sir."
Harry and Douglas headed out of the anti-chamber ignoring the cold looks he was getting from Flure and what her family was imitating. Also from the Digorey and how Mister Digorey was bad mouthing him.
They eventually made it to the lake and started a long walk around it. "You know Harry Daphne talked about you a lot."
"Really Douglas?"
"Yes Harry. She been really done in she could not speak to you before this year. She wished you had been in Slytherin where it would have been so much simpler for her if you were in Slytherin. she talked about how a Mud sorry I mean Muggle."
"Please Douglas I know my mother was Muggleborn, but the word Mudblood does not offend me."
"Very well Harry a Mudblood and a Blood Traitor was all ways with you, and corrupting and tainting your thoughts. But after they abandoned you she got one of her best friend to approach you and help you, well they all wanted to any way but they saw it as a chance to save you."
"For that Douglas I am eternally grateful."
He smiled again. "I hear how you may be resorted in Slytherin in September, I think this seem to be the best fit for you. After everything Daphne told me about you this year and in years gone by, you seem like the perfect fit. Also meeting you in person has confirmed that for me."
"Thank you Douglas, I assume you now the sorting hat wanted me in Slytherin in the first place?"
"I do Harry and I see how a filthy blood traitor and half bread corrupted your thoughts, with biasedness."
"Yes Douglas you are quite right."
"Harry do you intend to marry Daphne some day?" Douglas suddenly said.
Harry burned with embarrassment "Kidding Harry you are way too young to think of that."
Harry smiled. "Well Harry I must be getting on good luck today. I look forward to having you stay for the summer."
"Thank you Douglas."
"You are quite welcome Harry"
They bid farewell to each other shook hands and Douglas left.
After this Harry decided to head up to the castle, all tho it was far too early for lunch. But Harry decided to go to the kitchens to get something to eat. All tho he had never been there before Vincent and Greg had told him how to get in. Of course they would know where and how to get food.
As soon as Harry entered the kitchen by tickling a pair in a portrait of a bowl of fruit. In a basement off a door in the entrance hall. He was tackled by some small thing. "HARRY POTTE SIR!"
"Oh Hello Dobby." Harry said almost in a board tone he had forgotten all about him being here.
"Harry Potter is truly great sir he promised to visit Dobby and he did." The elf exclaimed delightedly.
"Okay Dobby can you let me up." The elf obeyed.
"Dobby can you get me some food and drink." The elf nodded and ran off. He was back quickly and gave the food to Harry. Dobby beamed at him. Harry thanked Dobby and quickly left. Harry went up to his room and ate and drank. He finished just before break and Daphne soon came into the room and sat down next to Harry on the sofa.
"So Harry how has your morning been?"
"Interesting your father came to see me."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Why was that?" She asked him.
"Well wanted to meet his daughters first boyfriend." She burned with embarrassment. "Also how you talked about me since the end of first year." She burned even more. "Oh and if I had any intentions of marrying you." She was blood red at this point. "Noted the marriage part was a joke on his part." She laughed at this and eventually returned to normal.
"But it is true Harry I have liked you since first year."
"Sorry if I listened to the hat I would have noticed you."
She smiled. "Its fine Harry we are together now."
"Yeah."
"So the others in the library?"
"Yeah they need to read up on the Goblin wars."
Harry smiled. "So why aren't you there?"
"I don't need to be I am far too smart." Harry laughed.
"And I wanted to be with my first boyfriend as my father so kindly put it." Harry laughed again but hugged her.
They sat just talking tell the end of break tell the bell rang and Harry walked her to History of Magic, and headed off. Really he had no clue of what to do.
As he wandered the school aimlessly a voice gruffed at him "Potter a word." It was Proffesor Moody. Harry walked into his office.
Harry walked into his office and sat down.
"Potter are you prepared for this evening?"
"Of course sir."
"Just what I wanted to here."
"Now you know you don't have to play nice in their right?"
"Of course sir I do."
He smiled. "Good I want to see you win and remember to show them that if this was real life they would not play around lie you will."
"Oh sir I won't play around I just will not do anything to lasting."
Moody smiled. "That is the way to go Potter."
"Thank you sir."
"No problem Potter would you like a cup of tea?"
"No thank you sir. But much appreciated."
Moody nodded. "Well Potter off you go then be prepared for tonight. Oh and remember CONSTANT VIGALANCE!"
Harry nodded and left.
Time passed and Harry was at Dinner and the task was to begin soon. Eventually Proffesor Snape approached Harry.
"Potter I have been asked to escort you down to the Quidditch pitch now."
"Of course sir" Harry got up and everyone at the Slytherin table cheered.
"You Better win Harry." Yelled Daphne.
"Thanks Daph."
Everyone was wishing him luck and followed Snape.
"Good luck Potter your mother would be proud."
"Thank you sir."
Snape did something strange he smiled at Harry.
They eventually arrived at the Quidditch pitch and to his Surprise Cornelius Fudge was there.
"Harry my dear boy." Fudge called.
"Hello Minister. How are you this evening?" Harry said shaking his out stretched hand.
"I am Very good Harry I am filling in for Barty Crouch tonight who is well, I cannot say too much but he is missing."
"Oh Minster I hope he shows up soon."
"You and me alike my boy."
Harry nodded and just then Dumbledore and the other headmaster arrived. Victor, Flure and Ceric came down at the same time but at different moments.
"Champions gather around." Dumbdlore called out, which they did.
"Well here we are the third and final task." Ludo Bagman said loudly and cheerfully. "This task is very different as you know you have to get through the maze and reach the cup first. Whoever does will be awarded full marks. As you know there will be obstacles, and other challenges to get past but you will be entering due to the position in the standings, you will be entering two minutes ahead of the person behind you in the standings." Harry thought this meant he had a six minuet head start.
"But there is another catch." Harry smirked knew what was coming.
"You can try eliminate other champions." All of them but Harry gasped.
"All legally that is so know unforgivable and what not. But do try and be honourable and shoot up red sparks if you defeat a fellow champion." All of them nodded Harry nodded playing along.
"Also you can with draw from the task by shooting up red sparks."
They nodded again.
"Well any questions?"
No one had any.
Well very well go and have your last minuet preparations.
At this point the stands started filling up. tell eventually they were packed to bursting. It was at this point Ludo Bagman voice boomed over the crowed.
"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the third and final task of the Tri Wizard tournament!"
The applause was like cannon fire, with the nose the crowd was making.
"The champions will enter the maze based on their points they are on. As Mister Potter is on 89 points he will be the first to enter the maze." Cheering erupted from the stands. With the usual quickly stifles booing and hissing.
"Second to enter the maze will me Mister Krum who is on 62 points. He will enter two minutes behind Mister Potter." More applause followed this.
"Third to enter the maze will be Miss Delacour who is on 57 points. She will enter the maze two minutes behind Mister Krum." Applause followed again.
"The last two enter the maze will be Mister Digorey who is on 53 points. He will enter the maze two minutes behind Miss Delacour." Polite slightly stifled applause came next.
"At the sound of the whistle Mister Potter may enter the maze." Ludo Bagman raised a whistle to his lip and blew. At this sound cheering erupted from all sides and Harry charged into the maze with his wand out.
The second Harry had entered the maze the noise outside was completely cut off.
As harry turned the first corner he thought to himself 'Why am I doing this and why do I not just fly over this thing.' Harry smirked to himself. 'Or this.' He raised his wand "point me." His wand spun in his hand but pointed to a hedge. "Oh no what ever will I do. Oh wait. BOMBARDA!" He blasted a hole through the hedge. He kept doing this with a combination of the four point spell and Bombarda. He knew it would slow him down but after the first hole he decided to fix them as he went along. As not to help the other champions. It was when he was nearing the middle already he heard the whistle blow for the first time since he had entered. He knew Krum had now entered the maze. He blasted one final hole and saw a silvery gleam in the distance. He ran to it as fast as he could and grabbed it. The feel of triumph racing through him. Before a hooking sensation in his navel dragged him away.
