To fred2008: I know but I've done a good job with keeping the reviews separate from the story. Thanks for your review.
To yellow 14: Not writing that in the books was a huge mistake on J.K Rowlings part. It would have made the character of Harry more believable because children that are mistreated by people that are suppose to be their family are always messed up in some part of their lives. They don't have a proper figure to help them develop normally and they usually become just like the people that abused them. Also Dumbledore picked the wrong person to watch over Harry.
Figg had no magic and therefore no way of knowing if Harry was alright. Also I'm not writing that Harry won't go back to the Dursley's but he will spend exactly one month with them. Also we're going to see more of a Petunia/ Snape part, not pairing, where he really makes life for her hard. He hates Lily's sister and he's going to show that when he's around to protect Harry. Thanks for your review and sorry about not answering your question.

To kingdom219: The cats were all the familiars that live with the witches and wizards when they first come to Hogwarts and go home with them. I thought it would be funny to have them protest the fact that their not allowed in the Great Hall. Thanks for your review and your vote.

Chapter 10: Signing Snape's List
"How in the world did a dead muggle get on the Hogwarts grounds?" Dumbledore demanded.
"I don't know, Professor," Hagrid said, "I didn't even know there was a body."
Dumbledore felt the beginnings of a headache. When he had heard that Crystal had found the body of a woman he had assumed that she was a witch but it had turned out that she was a muggle. Why had she been dumped here and was this a tact from the Death Eaters to prove that Hogwarts wasn't a safe place for the students. Heck, if a muggle's body could be dumped here then what next?
"Has the Ministry taken care of it," Dumbledore asked.
"Yes, but I'm not sure if their going to be able to help solve who killed her," Hagrid told him.
"I know, let me know what happens," he said and then dismissed Hagrid.
Word that a muggle's body was found spread through the school like wildfire. The Slytherins, well most of them, were pleased that a muggle was dead. Draco even mentioned that the muggleborns might be next and Harry didn't like that. Of course Harry knew that Draco was talking about Hermione when he turned and looked right at him when he said what he had said.
"Let's get out of here," Crystal muttered, wanting to keep a fight from happening.
Harry allowed her to take him away.
They found Hermione busy looking over her Defense Against the Dark Arts work and she looked up when they approached. Harry and Crystal sat down and looked at her.
"Did you hear about the body that Crystal had found?" Harry asked her.
"Yes," Hermione answered, "And I'm sorry that the woman died."
"Me too," Crystal said, "Maybe my dad will find out who killed her and take her to jail. Of course I would love it to be Lucius."
"Draco's dad," Harry said.
Crystal nodded.
"Well if its Draco's father then he deserves what he gets," Harry told them, "Causing a muggle to die is horrible."
"Well my dad has seen worse, trust me," Crystal told him, "I mean, my dad told me that some of his cases gave him nightmares. I figured that's why he never mentioned them."
"Did you write home and tell your dad that you found a dead body?" Hermione asked.
Crystal shook her head.
"I don't want him to get worried about my safety and I already get made fun of because I don't believe in all that pureblood nonsense. How can I when I'm a half-blood. Anyway, I'm far too cunning to even tell him about the fact that I'm getting teased because I'm a half-blood. I don't want him to think the school condones that."
"I agree," Hermione said, closing her book, "I mean, I don't tell my parents everything. I don't want them to think that students are going to target me because I'm muggleborns."
"What about you, Harry?" Crystal asked.
"I don't write home because my uncle and aunt don't want to hear anything from me," Harry told them, "And that's how I like it."
A week later Professor Snape came around with a list of students that would be staying for the Christmas Break. Harry signed his list at once and noticed that he was one of the few Slytherins that would be spending their Christmas here. Harry heard from Fred and George that Ron was staying as well because Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were going to Romania to visit their son, Charlie, who was studying dragons.
"So are you going to look for Flamel while I'm gone?" Hermione asked after Potions.
"That's the plan," Harry said.
As they headed up the stairs to the entrance hall Harry thought about the Potions lesson. Malfoy was jealous when Snape had given Harry a good mark for his potion. It seemed that, according to their last session, that his mum had been brilliant in them. It made Harry proud that he had another natural talent besides flying. Once he had gotten that good mark Malfoy teased him about staying at Hogwarts for the Winter Break.
"So are the muggles going to give you a comb or something," Malfoy had asked.
Harry ignored him but he saw Ron snickering.
Snape at once told Malfoy to return to his cauldron, pointing out that he had no business talking because his potion was starting to look like something that Snape had thrown up when he was seven. Malfoy glared at Harry and returned to his potion, which was ruined. The next day all the students had left the school, including most of the teachers. Only Professors McGonagall, Dumbledore, Flitwick, and Snape were behind. Harry wondered if Snape stayed behind because he didn't have a family to go home to for the holidays.
Of course things weren't exactly fun for Harry in the Slytherin Common Room. Since only three Slytherins, including himself had chosen to stay at Hogwarts for the Winter Break he really didn't have anyone to talk to. So he spent his time trying to find Flamel and figure out ways to get Malfoy expelled, which were fun to think about even if it didn't work. Harry also started to remember important potions, like the Forgetfulness Potion and the different remedies that might be used if you get poisoned or even really ill.
On Christmas day Harry woke up to a large amount of presents. The first one was from Hermione and it was a box of chocolate frogs. The second one was from Ron's mother, Mrs. Weasley. She had knitted him a green sweater with a silver snake on it and had included a box of homemade fudge, which he had to warm up before eating. Hagrid had given him a wooden flute that sounded a bit like an owl when he played. It was clear that Hagrid had whittled it himself.
Fred and George also sent him candy and the Dursley's had given him a fifty pence piece taped to a note that Hedwig had given him. The pet that Harry had been given as a present had been taken by Crystal so that none of the other Slytherins would try and use her as a potions ingredient. There were only two packages left. Harry opened the first one and saw two books and a handwritten note.
To: Harry
From: A Friend
The first book talks about the making of Horcruxs and how to destroy them and the second was a book of potion and spells. Harry didn't know who the friend was but he was thankful that someone had given him these books. The last gift was a cloak that had once belonged to his father. Harry figured that using it wouldn't be too bad as long as he didn't get caught and he wasn't intending to do that.

A/N: Sorry about the chapter being short but I didn't want to add Harry using the cloak and finding the mirror until next chapter. However Harry will also find out something else that was defiantly not in the book. Stay tune.
