A/N - Thanks for all the reviews everyone!!! I'm so happy now! Lol.

I'm going to try and make the chapters longer, the last few were a little short because i was a bit difficult writing them, i wasn't quite sure what to put so i just wrote what came to my head (which wasn't a lot)

As before: Keep on reading and enjoy!


When Harry returned to Hogwarts, in the early hours of the morning, he did not go to the dormitory. Instead, he stayed in the common room and he began to make a list of all those that had came to the DA in his fifth year and began to plan everything. He decided to only let those who had came to the DA meetings two years ago, so that there weren't too many people. Luna and Neville were at the top of his list, they had enjoyed the DA most and had helped Harry and the others against death eaters twice. Harry decided that, along with him, there would be Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville and Luna that would teach the others, because they were the ones, in his opinion, that knew the most about fighting. He was going to wait until the morning to ask Ron and Ginny their opinions, then he would send the letters out to find out who would be arriving for the meeting later that week.

Harry was still busy working when Ron came down in the morning, he told Ron his ideas and Ron thought that it was a great idea, and, so, began to help Harry. Eventually, they decided that owls wouldn't be the safest way to deliver these letters, and called for Dobby.

"Harry Potter wants Dobby, sir?" Dobby asked, as he appeared on the table in front of them. Harry held out the letters in front of him, all of them neatly written using some help from his wand.

"Dobby, could you deliver these for me?" Harry asked. "I know there's a lot, but it's quite important. I want you to wait for a reply from everyone as well. I can get some help from the other house-elves if you want."

"Dobby will do whatever master asks him to do," said Dobby, smiling. "Dobby needs no help, Harry Potter, sir, Dobby has had much harder tasks than this with his other master, terrible tasks as well! Dobby will go now!" Dobby took the letters, there was a loud crack and he disappeared.

Harry had been so busy arranging the DA, that he had almost completely forgotten about what he and Hermione had saw in the dungeons. He told Ron what they had saw.

"What the bloody hell do they think they're doing bringing him in here?!" Ron bellowed. "He's a Death Eater! He almost killed Dumbledore! And Me! And Katie Bell!"

"Almost," said Harry, calmly. Ron looked at him, bewildered. "I was up there, Ron, and Malfoy started to lower his wand but then the death eaters arrived. He never wanted to kill Dumbledore, and he wasn't going to, before the death eaters arrived, he told Dumbledore that if he didn't, Voldemort would kill his family, and he didn't want that. He had no choice." Ron sat in silence for a few moments before speaking again.

"Are you actually standing up for Malfoy?" Ron asked, his voice was still quite loud.

"Yes," Harry replied. "Ron, lets face it, he's just like us now. His dads in Azkaban, his mum has gone missing and Voldemort is probably after him. This is the best place for him to be."

"His dad deserves to be in Azkaban, he was a Death Eater," Ron said.

"Yes, his dad does," said Harry. "But, in our first few years at Hogwarts, i think that Malfoy was only showing off about Voldemort and the death eaters, for attention. But when he was given a task by Voldemort, he couldn't do it, which shows that he has been on the wrong side all along."

Ron stared at Harry, with a confused expression on his face. He waved his hand in front of Harrys eyes.

"Is that really you, Harry?" he said.


When Hermione and Ginny joined the two boys in the common room, Harry told them about the DA and also everything he thought about Malfoy. They all agreed, even Ginny, that they were going to see Malfoy after breakfast and started to make their way down to the kitchens. The house-elves in the kitchens, what there was left of them, were extremely glad to have someone to help. Ron ordered a full english breakfast, with at least two of everything, while Hermione, who didn't want to overwork the elves, just asked for some cereal. Hermione, who was still working on S.P.E.W. actually took a few of the elves to the side to talk to them, however, they ignored her and carried on working.

"You're wasting your time, Hermione," said Ron "They don't -" Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed his breakfast being carried across and didn't speak another word.

Eventually, the four friends finished their breakfast and left the kitchens with many cakes and other treats. They went down many corridors, until they eventually reached the dungeons and the corridor that led to the Slytherin Common Room.

"Parsletongue," said Harry. As they reached the stone wall. The wall opened and all four of them stepped inside. The common room was exactly the same as when Harry had been here in his second year. It had rough stone walls and there were many round, greenish lamps hanging from the ceiling. The sofas and most other items in the room were green, to match the Slytherin colours. They suddenly noticed a small figure on a sofa by the fire. He sat up quickly as he noticed the new arrivals.

"Potter!" Malfoy exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" He no longer looked tired, or a mess. His blonde hair was neat and tidy, and his robes were no longer ripped or dirty.

"Thought you might like a visitor, or four," said Harry. He threw one of the cakes that they had received from the kitchens and threw it to Malfoy. The four friends sat down on the comfy sofas and looked at Malfoy. "What happened to you, then? Me and Hermione saw you come in."

"It's none of your business, Potter," said Malfoy.

"Why aren't you with your pal, Voldemort?" Harry asked. Malfoy seemed to cower when he heard the name and said nothing. "I was there, that night on the astronomy tower, i saw you and Dumbledore. I saw you lower your wand."

"If you were there, why didn't you stop me?" Malfoy asked, obviously not believing the story.

"Dumbledore cast a bodybind spell on me, i was under my invisibility cloak and couldn't move," Harry said, still feeling slightly ashamed that he had watched his good friend and mentor die. "I saw you lower your wand before the Death Eaters arrived, you weren't going to do it."

"Get out!" Malfoy exclaimed, angered by the memories and the thought that Harry Potter had seen the weak side to him.

"Where did you go? With Snape?" Hermione asked.

"I said, Get out!" Malfoy shouted,

"You know that the Death Eaters killed my parents Malfoy," Ginny said. "You were on the wrong side, now you're on the right side."

"I'm not on anyones side," Malfoy muttered. "Now get out!" He yelled, pulling out his wand. Harry got the point, he stood and left the common room, his friends followed him.

"Before you even ask, i left because i'm going to wait until he's thought about until i say anything else," Harry said as they walked away, knowing his friends would ask him something about it


The four friends returned to the common room and found it empty. The rest of the Weasleys spent most of their time with Mcgonagall or Moody. Ron knw they were planning something, but didn't know what and wasn't allowed to join them.

"How far did you get in the library?" Hermione asked, not wanting to give too much away in front of Ginny.

"I've got a list of items," Ron said. "But the problem is tracking them down. It's easy to locate them, but the ones we're looking for are somewhere else, and nowhere else."

"It doesn't matter if you can't find where they are, as long as we know what they are," Harry said. "He would have hid them in places that were, well, important to him, like the cave. As long as we know what it is, it should be easy to look for."

"Why can't i help with this?" Ginny asked, slightly irritated by the fact that she wasn't able to join in with this conversation. "And don't you dare say i'm too young Ron!"

"I told Dumbledore that i wouldn't tell anyone, and i'm not going to," said Harry. "Sorry Ginny,"

"Fine, well, if you're all busy with this, i guess i'll go somewhere else," Ginny said. She stood and stormed out of the common room.

"Anyway, Harry, you said that the horcruxes will be somewhere important to him, right?" Hermione said. "Well, i need you to think about all the places you saw in the penseive last year."

"Well, there was the cave, The Gaunt House, but those have already been found," Harry said. "There was the riddle house, but he wouldn't put two so close together, would he?"

"We'll have to check," Hermione said, quickly scribbling down what Harry was saying.

"Then there was the orphanage," Harry said, trying to remember everything from his lesson with Voldemort. "He came to Hogwarts twice as well, you don't think there could be one here, could there?"

"It would be too risky," Hermione said.

"Not if he hid it somewhere only he knew about," Ron said, thoughtfully. "Like the Chamber of Secrets."

"We wouldn't have done!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Ron has a point, there aren't many people who can speak parsletongue, is there?" Harry said. "And he came back to Hogwarts that second time, even though he knew that there was no chance of getting a job, maybe that was just an excuse to get into school and into the chamber." Hermione shook her head.

"I don't know, it doesn't seem right," she said.

"It's a possibility, right it down!" Ron said, Hermione began writing. "Right, where else, Harry?"

"I can't remember," Harry said. "I'll have to look at the memories Aberforth gave me, i should be able to find something out." He turned to leave, but suddenly there was a loud crack, Dobby had returned.

"Dobby!" Harry exclaimed. "Did you deliver them all?"

"Yes, Harry Potter, Sir," Dobby said.

"Who can come?" Harry asked. Dobby took a piece of parchment and began to read from it.

"The people that are going to come are Miss Luna Lovegood, who says she would love to help teach, Mr Neville Longbottom, who says the same." Dobby said. "There is also; Colin and Dennis Creevey, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, Cho Chang, Lavender Brown, Angelina Johnson, Padma Patil, Parvati Patil, Susan Bones, Katie Bell, Hannah Abbott, Terry Boot, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Lee Jordan, Ernie Macmillan and Alicia Spinner."

"Wow, that's almost everyone!" Ron exclaimed. "What about Fred and George?"

"They said no thankyou, they are now in the Order of the Phoenix and do not have enough time for both," Dobby said.

"Thanks, Dobby," Harry said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a galleon. "Here, have this, buy yourself some nice socks," He threw the galleon to Dobby, who wasn't sure what to do.

"Dobby cannot accept this, Harry Potter, sir," Dobby said. "It is too much!"

"No, it isn't Dobby," Harry said. "You don't have to spend it yet, do what you want."

"Thankyou, master," Dobby said, bowing. There was a loud crack and he vanished.

"So, Harry, when is this DA meeting?" Hermione asked.

"On Friday," Harry replied. "The day after tomorrow," suddenly realising that they had a lot of work to do before then.
