Hey it's me :) thank you for all your reviews they were lovely big grin I looked at all the answers to my question and I mixed some of the ideas up slightly, you all get a cookie hands them out happily.

This is my next chapter I told you it would be up at the weekend Lol but this time its been betaed shocked face honest Nathali is amazing!! Everyone give a big round of applause!

Ok that's all from me enjoy chapter 9

The next few weeks flew past for everyone involved. The announcement of the new teachers had really hit Alizarin hard, that day in the hall had been the first time he had seen the four adults since he was five years old and memories seemed to hit him like a sledge hammer. He had memories of playing with Sirius and Remus who, admittedly, never left him out, memories of his mother being loving with him then changing as soon as James entered the room, memories of his father's hatred towards him. But the one memory that hit him the most was the night that had changed his family forever.

flashback

A tiny black haired baby was playing cars with two other babies, both with flaming red hair.

"Darling, aren't our children just perfect?" James went over and picked up the little black haired boy, "Hey Prongslet how about me and you go and get you some dinner?" The baby giggled and cuddled into his daddy. Before James had gone more then three steps towards the kitchen the room shook with an explosion as the wards fell.

"LILLY IT'S HIM, TAKE THE BOYS AND RUN!!...I'll protect Milly!"

Lilly grabbed the baby Chris off the floor then took Harry from James, the prophesy that Dumbledore had told them only a few weeks ago swimming in her mind;

The boy with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches.

The strongest of three, to be marked as equal.

He will have power the Dark Lord knows not.

Black and white must combine, ying and yang, two parts of one soul.

The boy with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.

This prophesy was the reason she had to leave her little girl sitting on the floor when the darkest lord in a century was about to burst in. The fact was, she could only carry two children and she had to protect the boys.

Lilly ran with the two boys up to the nursery where the escape fireplace was, she through the green powder into the fire and screamed when the fire remained just a fire. She placed the two boys gently on the floor and continued to try to get the floo to work knowing it was their only escape.

"You can't escape, stupid girl!"

She moved quickly in front of the two babies.

"You can NEVER have my children!"

She quickly shouted "EXPELLIARMUS" but the Dark Lord just stepped aside and stupefied her. The Dark Lord turned to the two babies, the little redhead was crying but the smaller baby was just looking calmly up at the man.

Voldermort sneered.

"A baby could never defeat me! Now which of you should I kill first?"

He aimed his wand directly at the smallest quiet baby and whispered "Avada Kedavra."

The green light sped towards Harry, the curse the exact green of the baby's eyes, but as it neared the baby, a bright silver light surrounded him. The Dark Lord's eyes widened as the curse bounced back at him "I will be back, Harry Potter!" The curse hit and the Dark Lord's body disintegrated into ash. The room started to shake and parts of the roof started to fall, one of them slashing the red head baby's cheek making him scream. But the baby that had saved them all was unconscious, a bleeding lightning bolt mark on his forehead.

It was only a few minutes later that people started to rush into the room reviving Lilly. Dumbledore walked to the two babies and picked up the crying Chris.

"The savoir, our Boy Who Lived, Chris Potter!"

What no one knew was that when Dumbledore had revived James in the lounge he had placed a spell on him which would ultimately change Harry's life.

end flashback

It was now Halloween, Draco and Snape had not let Rin out of their sight, Snape even accompanying them to Dumbledore's private lessons in case he tried anything else. But what had annoyed Alizarin the most was his defence lessons as they confused him, Professor Black seemed to treat him better then anyone else in the class (it was only the Slytherins in his defence lessons) yet it was James Potter that scared him, he treated Alizarin just like he had Harry when he was younger except he never touched him now. Alizarin sighed and shook his head, shaking himself out of it.

"Come on Dray it's the feast, I don't want to be late."

"Now Alizarin, you know very well a Malfoy can't go out in public looking anything less then perfect."

Rin laughed, forgetting his worries from before. "If you don't come now then I'll just go with out you!"

"Ok...ok I'm ready! Merlin. You really give no heed to the fact I have to be perfect!"

Rin laughed again, "You look fine now come on big head."

"Wow, Rin you actually got Dray here on time…I'm so impressed." Blaise smirked at the two. "Hey Dray, is that a hair out of place?" He looked so innocent as he said it.

"WHAT...WHERE? Somebody hand me a mirror…NOW!"

All of the Slytherin first years cracked up at the display.

"It's ok Drakeipoo! You look perfect, their just teasing you." Pansy linked her arm through his. It was common knowledge that Pansy was determined to be the next Mrs Malfoy, but it was Draco's look of horror at the prospect that caused the laughter to raise a decibel.

Rin pulled Draco down in to the seat next to him, still giggling even though Draco glared at him.

"You look fine Dray; honest…..you're such a Drama Queen."

The feast was fantastic but Alizarins attention was on what two Ravenclaw girls behind him were gossiping about.

"That's right! Her own brother! He called her all sorts of names just because she didn't get into Gryffindor. Then when Hermione tried to defend her that Weasley boy said- and get this-…. he said 'Mind your own business, you jumped up know-it-all mudblood!"

"Merlin, did he really say that?"

"For sure, honest, it's true; they've both locked themselves in the bathroom on the second floor. They're really upset."

Alizarin was about to turn around and ask them some questions, not really caring that they would know he was eavesdropping on their conversation, but the doors to the great hall slammed open.

"TROLL! .. There's a T...Troll in the Dungeons!"

"Prefects, escort your houses to their common rooms."

Alizarin grabbed Draco's arm "Amelia is in the bathroom, she doesn't know! Dray we have to go …and anyway the Troll is in the dungeons, there's no way I'm going down there."

Draco blinked at him as the thought processed then he nodded and followed his Prince. Over the last few weeks he'd actually started to like the two Ravenclaws even if he didn't agree with Rin's friendship with his former sister.

What the two Slytherins hadn't noticed was two other boys slipping away on the other side of the room, but as they ran Alizarin noticed them and pulled Draco behind a statue.

Ron was standing in the middle of the hall looking disgusted, "Can you smell something?"

As Chris sniffed, a foul stench floated down the corridor, it smelt like a mixture of old socks and a never cleaned public toilet. Ron started spluttering pointing down the corridor.

Shuffling around the corner was a horrible sight. It was twelve feet tall, its skin was a dull, granite grey, its great lumpy body, like a boulder with its small head perched on top like a coconut. It had short legs thick as tree trunks with flat, horned feet.

The troll stopped next to a doorway and peered inside, its long ears waggling, making up its tiny mind, and then slouched slowly into the room.

"Quick Ron the keys is the lock we can lock it in!" Chris shouted, grinning at his brilliant idea.

As Ron went to move forward to lock the door, Rin shot out of his hiding place.

"Stop, you fool! That's the girls' bathroom! Do you want your sister killed?"

Chris shook his head as Draco joined them, but all four of the boys paled drastically as two high pitched screams were heard.

Tee hee what a cliff hanger Lol what will happen next :P even I'm not sure as I've only written half of the next chapter. Ok another question for you all.

In the flying lesson (which is going to be all first years) what do you think should happen? :) let me know what you think.
