A/N: Happy new year everyone! Also as allways sorry about gramar.

"Now let's see." Harry said with a dark smirk across his face.

"Okay Weasley from now on you going to act like every other Slytherin. our gong to cast off your family. You will be vile and cold towards them. Treating your brothers, how every other Slytherin does You will publicly shame Gryffindor and be openly hostile towards them. Do you understand?"

She nodded.

"Good. Now go to bed." She did just that.

"Well that is one way to deal with her." Draco said and laughed. Causing everyone else to do the same.

"Well shall we go to bed?" Daphne questioned.

Everyone agreed, so they headed off to their dorm rooms.

The next morning was very entertaining. Wesel and Granger were shouting across the Great Hall. But just the sneer on Weaslet face towards them was perfect. Even more so was Proffesor Umbridge adding to Weasley's detention time, saying Granger can join him and taking 50 points each from Gryffindor.

Life at Hogwarts begun to finally settle down well that was tell Friday.

They were sitting down to breakfast when Weaslet received a scarlet envelope.

"GINEVRA WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU TREAT YOUR BOTHER THAT WAY, ACTTING LIKE A SLIMY SLYTHERIN! I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE DISPOINTED IN ANYBODY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! YOU ARE THIS CLOSE FOR ME BRINING YOU STRIGHT HOME! YOU MARCH RIT OVER TO YOUR BROTHER AND APPOLGISE TO HIM, OR ELSE! I BETTER NOT GET ANY MORE OWLS FROM YOUR BROTHTE OR HERMIONE ABOUT YOU BEING A SLIMY SLYHTHERIN!". Then the letter curled and shrivelled and smoked curling up. But all she did was shrug, laugh and went back to her breakfast.

Everyone had been watching her to see if she would start crying again. But Harry's curse had been doing the trick.

Previously this week Harry had been asked to be Slytherin's seeker and Draco took the vacant Chasers spot. Vince and Greg had become the new Beaters.

But life at Hogwarts had settled back down. Harry for once was having a normal year, at Hogwarts.

So came their second weekend at Hogwarts.

"Harry you want to have some real fun today?" Draco asked.

"Sure, like what tho?"

"Oh the Gryfindorks are having their first Quidditch practice today. We can see how awful Weasel actually is."

Harry laughed "Oh yes that will be fun." So it was after lunch, that the group of Slytherin fifth years, and the Slytherin Quidditch team where on the stands of the Quidditch pitch. There was a great surprise tho, the new seeker of Gryffindor was Granger.

"What's that Weasley is holding?" Taunted Draco. "Why would anyone bother put a flying charm, on a mouldy old log like that."

Harry heard Granger calm Ron down. "Leave it Ron will see who laughing when we beat them."

"Oh really Mudblood" Harry yelled. "You really think a jumped up, little know it all Mudblood like you can beat us." Everyone was shocked, but just then all they Slytherin's burst out laughing, and cheering.

The Gryfindorks looked dumbstruck tho.

"HOW DARE YOU POTTER!" Weasley yelled.

"Leave it Ron will just see who, laughing when we beat them." Hermione said. Causing more laughter.

"Exactly the attitude I want Hermione." Johnson the new captain said.

This led to more laughter from the others.

The Gryffindor's got into the air and began throwing a Quaffle around.

Granger was abysmal her broom was shaking, and she was always dogging the Quaffle. Weasley was just as bad he kept on dropping it, but the one time he caught it, well pushed it away it smacked Katie Bell in the face.

"Sorry." You heard Weasley called in a panicked voice.

Bell nose was pouring blood.

"Good thing their robes are red." Blaise called, and everyone laughed.

The Weasley twins converged on her and gave her a something.

"Fred, George go release the Bulgers and the Snitch." Johnson called.

They went off and Harry saw them muttering darkly.

"Hey Johnson what's with that hair style. Now why would anyone want to look like they have worms coming out of their head." All the Slytherin's laughed.

The Gryffindor girl just ignored it and tucked her hair behind her head.

The practice session did not get any better. Weasley did not save a single goal. Granger never found the Snitch, and Bell nose bleed did not get any better. It appeared the twins gave her the wrong item to deal with it. The twins rushed her off to the Hospital wing. Around the tenth missed goal by Weasley they had begun chanting "Gryffindor are losers, Gryffindor are losers." When the twins and Bell had gone off. Johnson gave the practice up as a bad job. But was bellowing at Hermione for losing the Snitch.

"Well that was amusing." Draco said when the Gryfindorks had gone.

"Oh look." Harry grabbed something leaning over the stands.

"Looks like they won't have a practice snitch this year." Draco chuckled.

With that they headed back inside for dinner.

That night the Dark Lord visited Harry again.

"Ah Harry pleased to see you."

"The pleasure is mine my Lord."

"Let us dispose of the pleasantries Harry, I have altered the plan slightly. First off you may ask friends to assist you. Secondly you will deliver it to me via your new Defence Against the Dark Arts Proffesor. She recently joined the cause. "

"Of course my lord."

Voldermort merely nodded. "Secondly I would like you to create a new Basilisk. You will find al the basic instructions in your copy of Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. I discovered your ability to speak parcel tongue, is blood not through your connection to myself. We are both decedents of the Peveral family, who in turn are decedents of Slytherin himself. We merely come from the lines of separate brothers. If I was you to strength your family line you can create a potion that can give the ability to speak it, to others using a speakers blood. I can provide you with this over the Christmas break. I will eave it to you to decide who you will bestow the honour too, oh and the Basilisk is your to have fun with if you catch my drift."

"Of course my Lord." Harry smirked Darkly.

"Oh and involve whoever you desire."

"Yes my Lord Thank you my Lord."

"Well Harry I will leave you to your sleep."

With that Voldermort was gone, and Harry had another dreamless sleep.

Harry awoke Sunday morning and got ready for the day. Once the rest were up and ready they all went up to breakfast.

As they were eating Harry spoke to Daphne. "You up for a walk after breakfast."

"I would love that Harry." She beamed.

So when they were done they departed from their friends.

As Harry began to lead her up the marble stair case Daphne questioned him. "Not the grouds?"

"h no trust me you will enjoy this."

"Oh now I am interested." She smiled.

So Harry arrived with Daphne at the place the Dark Lord told him where to find the room. He began pacing and Daphne looked at him questioningly. But when the door appeared she gasped.

He offered her his hand. "You coming?" He smiled at her.

When they got in their they were in a room that seemed like a labyrinth of junk. Harry locked the door behind them.

"Harry what we doing here?" She questioned.

"H jut a job for the Dark Lord." Harry said casually.

Daphne gasped.

"Daphne this is between us okay?"

She nodded.

"Oh and there another bit of fun for us to do after. Well it a long project."

"What's that?"

"All will be revealed soon my ear."

"Tease." She giggled.

Harry laughed and pecked her on the cheek.

Harry had a rough idea of where to find what they were looking for, and found it in the end and when they did Daphne gasped.

"That the Diadem of Ravenclaw."

"That it is my dear, this is what we are to retrieve for the Dark Lord."

"Why tho?"

"Oh well it is one of his Horxrcuxes. Before she could ask Harry went on to explain what a Horcrux was.

Daphne was ore struck when he finished.

"Oh don't worry I will tell the others but I wanted to tell you first."

She smiled.

"At first I was not to bring this to him tell Christmas, and tell you guys tell the new year. But he visited me twice once at the start of term with the first plan. Then last night with the new plan."

"So what now?" She asked.

"You will wait with a secret support in the school, while they help me get to him."

"Snape?" She asked.

"No Umbridge." Harry smiled.

"Wow thought she was right in the ministry, and Fudge's pocket."

"Not anymore." Harry smiled darkly.

"Well shall we go?" Daphne asked.

"Of course, my dear." They linked arms and left the room. They watch the door melt out of site.

"Oh and that rom can become whatever we want, so if we want some alone time it can be used for that." Harry went onto explain how the room worked.

They arrived at the Defence Teachers office and Harry Knocked.

"Come in." Came a sweet voice.

Harry and Daphne entered.

"Mister Potter, Miss Greengrass how may I help the pair of you."

"The Dark Lord." Harry said.

"Very well Mister Potter. But be back quick before your missed."

Harry nodded. He took some floo poweder off the jar on her mantle.

"Malfoy Manor."

Harry stepped out of the fire in Lucius office.

"Ah Harry how may I be of service?"

"I have something for our Lord."

"Very Well Harry he is I the cellar." He got up and led Harry there.

Harry knocked. "Enter." Harry did as he was bidden.

"Ah Harry how nice of you to join me, I assume you got what I request?"

"I have my Lord." Harry pulled the Diadem out of his bag and handed it to the Dark Lord."

"Very good, now I believe you deserve a reward."

"Serving my Lord is reward enough."

Voldermort smiled. "You are a perfect Death Eater Harry."

"Thank you my Lord."

Voldermort smiled "Now Harry first of all this is for you." Voldermort handed Harry a book.
Harry looked down at it.

Power and Ability potions unlock your true potential.

"Thank you my lord." Harry said stowing it in his bag.

Voldermort nodded at his thanks. "Secondly I wish to be prepared so if I am incapacitated again, I wish you to take command. All Death Eaters will be informed of this."

"Why me my Lord."

"You may be young but you remind me of my self, no parents raised by Muggles, a Half blood tho there are ways to rectify that for yourself. I will explain another time. You have a lot of power and talent and with me training you Harry, you will become very great. You will go far now that you are on the right side, very far and high up in dead. Oh and well done on your dealing with the Weasley girl."

"Thank you my lord, and thank you for the honour."

"You are quiet welcome Harry. I will start training you this summer. Now quickly back to school before the old goat realises something is up.

Harry nodded and swept from the room.

Harry returned to Hogwarts through Lucius office arriving in Umbridge office.

"Oh yes dear the kitten are quiet sweet and a good cover." Harry heard Umbridge saying to Daphne as he exited the fire.

"Ah Harry your back excellent." Umbridge said.

"Oh you two should take a look through tomorrows Daily Profit I think you will find it most pleasing."

"Of course Proffesor." The pair said, and with that they left returning to their common room.

"You two have been a while." Draco said.

"Things to do you know." Harry smiled mischievously.

"Snogging?" Blaise asked.

"No if it was that we would be gone much longer." Daphne retorted, and everyone laughed.

"So what do we do today?" Draco asked.

"Well we have no Homework as we get it done in the week." Harry said.

So they just spent the day hanging out as friends.

The next morning tho Harry and Daphne checked the Daily Profit. As did the others as Harry and Daphne told them. But they did not have to check further than the front page.

MINISTRY SEEK EDUCATIONAL REFORM!

Speaking on behalf of the Minster of the Magic, junior assistant to the Minister Percy Weasley announces that Ministry seeks educational reform.

Speaking from his office last night Percy Weasley told Daily Profit reports on the growing concerns of the Minister and Fudge of the falling standards of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.

After many out cry's from parents on the growing concerns that Albus Dumbledore is no longer up to the task of running the prestigious wizarding school. The Ministry have decided to appoint a High Inquisitor. This Minister asked defence against the dark arts Proffesor Delores Umbridge. We are delighted to say she as accepted long side her current teaching job says Weasley.

The High Inquisitor will have the power to inspect and remove her fellow teachers if she is not up to the job of teaching. Is one if her many responsibilities says Weasley.

This is not the first the Minister has not been afraid to step in at Hogwarts. As recently as of this summer the Minister, passed educational decree number 30. This gives the ministry the power to appoint a suitable candidate for a teaching role, if the current headmaster cannot find one. This is how Umbridge came to be at Hogwarts, and I am delighted to say she has been an immediate success says Weasley.

Speaking from his Wiltshire manor. Lucius Malfoy says the appointment of the High Inquisitor, is the first steps to Hogwarts having a Headmaster that we can all put our faith into.

Wizengamot elders Griselda Marchbanks and Tiberius Ogden. Have resigned in protests. "Hogwarts s a school, not an outpost of Cornelius Fudge's office." Madam Marchbanks went onto say, "This is a further disgusting attempt to discredit Albus Dumbledore." For a full account om Madam Marchbanks alleged links to subversive goblin groups turn to page 17.

By Betty Braithwaite.

Harry chuckled "Well looks like the old coots days here are numbered." This led to laughter from the rest of the Slytherin fifth years.

As they headed to class hey heard Weasley and Granger complain.

"The Old Toad can't keep doing this to us it is torture!" Weasley moaned loudly.

"I know Ronald it is totally barbaric." Granger responded.

"So let's go to Dumbledore." Weasley said.

Granger shook her head. "No he has enough to deal with. Will think of something, and I have just the idea. Will talk in the Library after Defence with the toad today." Granger said to Weasley. He nodded and the two headed off to class.

"Naughty, naughty Gryfindorks. Think we should see what they are up to before dinner Harry?" Daphne asked.

"I think we should dear, I will grab my cloak at lunch." Harry said.

"Maybe we can get them expelled." Pansy said.

"Oh think what they would do to little miss Mudblood." Draco said. "It would kill her not being able to sit her OWLs this year."

"Very true." Harry said and they all laughed.

So it was that evening Harry an Daphne, where under Harry invisibility cloak lurking behind Weasley and Granger.

"So what are we going to do about the old toad?" Weasley asked Granger.

"Not o loud Ronald!" Hermione scolded.

"Sorry." Weasley muttered. "Now go on."

"Well we are going to take things into our own hands. You know learn it our self's. Because nobody could call the Defence against the Dark Arts. But we should open it up to anybody who wants to join. I been spreading the word to people who I think might be interested, and we are all going to meet in the Hogs head on first Hogsmead weekend. You know it's not that one on the main road."

Weasley nodded.

"Bu who will teach us?" He asked.

"Well me." She said smugly.

"You!" Ron nearly yelled.

"Keep ypur vice down! Yes me."

Weasley looked sceptical. "Wel you are the est student in the year. well your not the best in defence."

"What do you mean!" She snppaed.

"Well not that I like to admit it but Potter is much better then you are."

Granger looke like she had been slapped. "How dare you im much better than the slimy traitor!"

"No he beat you in every exam for defence. When we had a teacher that knew the subject or you bothh sat the exam."

"So you mean one time Ronald!"

"Fine your better then Potter sorry."

"That's better."

"What time are we even meeting them then?"

"Around midday. Our frst hogsmed vist is not this week ut the week after."

"I know when the first Hoggsead vist is. He said sarcasily.

Granger ignored him. "I don't think we should parade what we are doing, as Umbridge would not be happy. I know homework and study groups are allowed but this seems a tad different."

"You think." Weasley responded.

Granger just scowled at him. "Come on Ronald it's nearly time fo dinner."

"Good im staving."

"Your all ways starving." She scolded.

They bickered all the way out the library.

Harry pulled the cloak off him and Daphne when the two were out of site.

"Was thinking Hogsmead is a bit early this year." Daphne says.

"How come?"

"Well it was on the 19th last year. I remember it very well."

"How come." Harry teased.

Daphne looked offended. "Relax I remember why, it was our first date." Harry kissed her on the cheek, and she giggled.

"You are an ass you know that."

"Hey you love me." He chuckled.

"That I do." She hugged him.

The pair headed off discussing what they could about the Gryffindor duo.

They reach the Slytherin table and sat down tell the others about what they heard.

"We tell Umbridge and she can get someone in there and see if the pair go through with it." Draco said. "She would do something like ban all cubs and teams. Meaning they would have to grovel to get their team back. We could get their best players banned and worsen their team. Also they would not get permission form their group and we can get the pair of them expelled."

"Draco that is pure genius." Harry said.

"It is what I do. He smirked.

"Sure you should not be a Ravenclaw." Pansy teased.

"Hey watch it you!" He snapped.

Everyone laughed.

"Well what ones of should go see her tonight." Daphne asked.

"Well you and Harry as you heard it. guess me and Pansy should come as well." Draco added.

"You just want to see what she is going to do to them." Theo joked.

"So what if I do?" Draco aid.

"Fair enough." Theo responded. Which led to laughter from everyone else.

So it was after dinner they headed up to the High Inquisitors office.

Harry knocked and a sweet coming came through the door.

Harry stepped in and the others followed in.

Granger and Weasley looked up and scowled at them.

"Back to work you two. Keep writing I must respect my betters."

The scowled and went back to writing with jet black quills. The quartet heard sounds of pains escaping the pair.

"How may I help you four tonight?" She asked in a voice of genuine niceness.

"May we speak to you in private Proffesor?" Harry asked gesturing to the Gryffindor pair.

"Of course. You two better be writing when I get back I will know if you stop or pause." She said in her sicking sweet voice. With that she followed the four Slytherin's out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"So what can do for the four of you?"

"It more for what we can do for you." Harry said darkly.

"Do gone on." She smiled.

So Harry did.

"Oh thank you I will be sure to deal with this properly." She smiled at the four.

"Well we better be getting back to our common room." Harry said.

"Very good. I am shocked to know of you true loyalties Mister Potter, tell this summer I thought you were one of Dumbledore's men."

Harry laughed. "Well I am the good little Slytherin aren't I?" The other three and Umbridge laughed.

"We'll I better be getting back to the Mudblood and the Blood Traitor you three run along."

Which the Dark quartet did.

"You know." Harry said looking up from his book, Daphne had her head laying in Harry lap. They were in the fifth year private area alone.

"What's up?"

"This ritual?"

"What about it" She Questioned.

"Well it's strange it can send any number of people back to a certain point in time, to relive their lives. But is sort of Alchemy to go back you have to sacrifice another. But it would not matter as they would relive their lives. but the only people who would have knowledge of the future is people who have used this ritual. Never know could use it so we can have been friends since first year."

"Would be fun, but I love you Harry and it does not matter." She smiled

"Very true." He kissed her on the forehead.

"You know I miss cuddling you at night Harry."

"I miss cuddling you at night to Daph."

"So why don't we use the room this Friday night? We could make it so just e can get in and no one would notice the room."

"You now Daph that not a bad idea."

She smiled. "So is that a yes?"

Harry nodded.

"Yay" she exclaimed.

Just then all the others came in.

"Oh look at the love birds." Tracy teased.

"Oh shut it you." Daphne said all though she was not convincing with the broad grin on her face.

So came Friday night and Harry and Daphne had just locked the door to the room of requirement. The pair had changed into their pyjamas and had gotten into bed and cuddled up.

"Harry?"

"Yeah Daph?"

"You got any plans for after Hogwarts?"

"No not really maybe see the world with you by my side."

Daphne beamed. "I'd love that. But what about work ad future prospects?"

"Well the Dark Lord will rule the world he would still need a Minister of the Magic or someone to govern each country. I wouldn't mind doing that. I think he hinted at me doing that for him anyway. But I guess I would not working in the Department of Mystery's sounds fun. But what about you Daph?

"Well Travel the world with you." She giggled. "Spend my days growing old with you, get a ob and have a family."

"Sorry did not know you wanted to know that far ahead."

Daphne laughed.

"Another thing I want to do." Harry voice darkened, "Kill them scum the Dursley's and Dudley and his little gang."

"Harry I will be by your side when that happens if you want."

"Harry eyes filled with tears. "Daphne you have no idea how much that would mean to me."

She hugged him tight. "Harry it's aright I know you had a dark past with them. You told me of the suffering. I understand and they will get what they deserve. Pain and a lot of it, then death."

Harry slowly stopped crying as she whispered words of comfort to him.

"Thank you Daph." He smiled up to her.

"It's alright Harry. Hey we Slytherin's take care of our own don't we." Harry laughed.

With that they chatted casually tell they fell asleep in each other's arms.

So Came the day of the first Hogsmead visit of the year. Harry and Daphne had gone off to spend the day together.

"So where to my dear." Harry asked as they walked arm in arm.

"I don't know how about the tea shop." Harry looked at her in shock. Then seeing the look on her face the pair Burst out laughing.

they just spent the day enjoying each other's company. Go between shops and laughing. Before they headed back they decided to have Dinner in the village they had already had lunch, in the village but wanted to spend as much alone time as possible.

It was strange joining the so called dark side willing and wanting to, brought him his most normal year ever. He realized it was all because of him being in the wrong house brought him all his problems. If he just accepted the sorting hats decision in first year, his life would have been much more normal.

So came night and the fifth years where settling into bed. They knew on Monday the new educational decree would go up in each common room. Umbridge told the Dark Quartet after Defense on Thursdays lesson. They of course told their friends. but Umbridge needed someone else to catch them at it first, and someone owed her a favor, so it would all soon go into place.

A/N: Please review! Hope you all enjoyed.
