A/N I'd like to thank rebekahalana for their amazingly helpful advice which inspired me when writing this chapter. Reviews are greatly appreciated but I'd prefer some in-depth reviews that give me suggestions! (Flames work too)

****************** START CHAP 8************************************************

After the announcement of Dumbledore's fate was made court was dismissed for the day with plans to come back for the next step in a couple of days. Harry returned to Hogwarts and in the Great Hall he sat with his back to the Slytherin table still embarrassed over the events from that morning. He sat quietly eating his food until McGonagall entered the Hall demanding the student's utmost attention. She announced, "Today during an official court procedure Albus Dumbledore was sentenced to life in Azkaban meaning that I have been officially made headmistress. Professor Flitwick is now Deputy Headmaster and I am promoting Professor Burbage to the position of Head of Gryffindor House. I will begin the search for a new Transfiguration professor immediately but until then Narcissa Malfoy has agreed to teach the class. That is all, enjoy your supper."

Everyone continued to eat and although Harry would have preferred to remain silent suddenly the Gryffindors were all asking him questions. Colin inquired, "Where were you today?" and Dennis chimed in, "Do you know why Dumbledore lost his job?" Harry quickly decided to leave and when he stood up he was quickly surrounded by his fellow fifth year Gryffindors, just like the Secret Service. They marched through the hallways and up the ever changing staircases. When they reached the dormitory the boys and Hermione headed upstairs, where they found a pale pink letter lying on Harry's bed.

Hermione gasped and with his eyes Harry asked for an explanation. Hermione quickly explained,
"It's a letter of persuasion called a- well the name is unknown. It's a pureblood tradition typically used during a courtship or when one family needs forgiveness from another. Not much is known about them except that the paper is charmed in order to convince the reader to do a specific thing. In the past it's been used to separate Magical Creatures from their mates."

Harry feeling curious decided to ask, "Will it open on its own?" Hermione nodded and with a grimace responded, "Yes but when it does only the person it is intended for will hear it and no matter where they are in relation to the letter they will hear it." As soon as she finished speaking the letter opened.

In a smooth motherly kind of voice it said, "Harry dear, we love you. You're Ron's best friend. We only took the money because well you know how bad of we are and we needed the money Harry otherwise we could have lost everything. We meant no offence by our actions Harry dear. Please give Ginny and Ron another chance, Ginny loves you. Just take to her on a date to Hogsmeade please Harry dear it would mean so much to her. She really does love you."

Harry left the room to rid his stomach of his supper. The letter made him feel woozy it was like his body was rejecting everything it had said. He went back into the bedroom and his legs collapsed from under him. Luckily for him Hermione and Seamus managed to catch him. They managed to steer him over to the bed to sit down. Everyone looked concerned but Dean was the first to speak up saying, "Are you okay? What did the letter say Harry?"

Harry managed to answer fairly calmly, "I currently feel like I am going to throw up my intestines, it's almost as if my body is rejecting itself. It tried to convince me to forgive them and take Ginevra to Hogsmeade but I feel no need or desire to do either of those things."

Seamus said with his thick Scottish accent, "Well it's fairly obvious what's happenin' matey. You're a fae after all and generally compulsion spells don't work on fae or Veela. Isn't that what this letter is a compulsion charm?"

Hermione nodded, "Okay, I think we need to make sure that he's okay. I'm going to talk to our new head of house. Neville stay here with Harry. Seamus will you please go charm a pureblood into telling you about these? Dean I need you to go to the library if you would." Seamus left and Dean nodded waiting for further instructions. Hermione continued, "Grab as many books as possible on the fae. Bring them to a table, I'll send some labour your way." With that Hermione and Dean left leaving Neville and the now sleeping Harry alone.

********* Meanwhile in the dungeons ***************************

Hermione approached Daphne, "A moment if you will?" she asked politely. Daphne nodded and went to talk to Hermione, who started right away, "The Weasley Family sent Harry a letter of persuasion but his body is rejecting it. Do you think you could help Dean Thomas do some research?" Daphne nodded and called out to the group, "Nott and Zabini your assistance is required, and Parkinson we need you too!" That said the Slytherins made their way to the library.

Now filled with a new kind of confidence Hermione walked confidently up to Professor Burbage. She cleared her throat not wanted to surprise the professor. The Professor turned and asked, "How can I help you?" Hermione smiled, "I'm Hermione Granger, fifth year Gryffindor. My friend Harry is a fae you see, a shadow fae and he was sent a letter of persuasion. I'm quite worried about him because you see his body seems to be rejecting something. He says he feels like he is going to throw up his intestines and he's quite faint." Professor Burbage nodded and quickly they headed back to the dormitory where Harry was peacefully sleeping.
