Another update, but I'm afriad it's kind of short. But, another chapter will be coming soon, because it's almost done. Anyway, here's some thanks and replies:

Dalou28, SpencerReid; Again, thanks for reviewing! I hope will continue to follow my story.

StoogegirlSilva: Thanks for the compliment, it's good to know when I've improved so I can continue to do so. And yes, Duj's reviews are helpful but I can't say I've been lucky enough to get from from DelphianStar. Thorough reviewers rock. About Snape giving Harry the pensive; I don't think it was so random, but maybe it will be explained this chapter. As you know Snape knows Harry is sort of depressed since he's been watching him all that time, and he saw that it was affecting his academic and social behavior. So, he decided to give him the pensieve to store his thoughts in so it would help clear his mind. Whether this was on Dumbledore's orders or not, you'll never know ) I'm not sure if that clears things up or not, tell me if it didn't. Also I'm so happy to hear that you don't think Snape is ooc, because that's very important to me. I look foward to another review!

duj: Thanks for the review. Let's begin;

1)When Dumbledore said it was a 'vacation' it was wordplay. Of course he didn't mean it was an actual vacation, but everyone thought he would be on one and that was his cover story.

2) Yes a fanfic has to be consistent and follow a somewhat logical storyline and such, and if the events in my story don't follow eachother smoothly then that's my fault and I'll do more to try and fix it (Please let me know when it occurs) but as for other things that are small and miscellaneous things that are illogical I'm going to point out no only is it fanfiction, but it takes place in a wizarding world. In the wizarding world there are a lot of things that aren't exactly logical, no? (like Hagrid's snake leash that you pointed out before). That's the least I can say to defend myself, ha.

3) About why Hermione thinks that whole thing was Harry's business. Let's put this in a relatable scenario. Say you were around fifteen, and you had a best friend who was very important to you. And you had a teacher. You didn't like this teacher very much. For somem reason you have reason to believe this teacher was spying on your friend. You think it could be the principle's doing (You like him) but you don't know anything for sure. You let it go on for a while but you start to feel like your a bad friend for not telling your best friend that he's been spied on. Do you see where I'm going with this? How could she not tell Harry, her best friend, that Snape was spying on him? It concerned him so it was obviously his business. See it now?

Okay, to the chapter now.

Chapter 10: Prophecy in the Pot

He was alone. He jerked his wand towards the door, and was satisfied after hearing a soft 'click.' Once he was sure the door was locked, Harry bent to his knees and shoved his pensieve on the small shelf beside his bed. He took a deep breath.

"Alright... let's try this," he said to himself, bringing the tip of his wand to his temple.

Think.

Unwanted memories flooded his mind, but he only wanted to get rid of the ones be was sure he didn't need. Concentrating, he brought his worries to the front of his mind. His nightmares that haunted him in his sleeped surged foward and left his mind, intwining themselves as a silvery substance on his wand. He dropped the nightmares in his penseive, and repeated this two more times.

When he was done he drew back and took a calm breath. It was truly amazing. His head felt so much more clear and serence. It was nice. For once in his life, he inwardly thanked Snape. Kind of. Harry used the same trick to conceal the pensive as he did for Serepius "Severus" the snake. He threw his invisibility cloak over the thing.

Exhaustion fell on him like a blanket. Knowing he woudl be able to sleep well, he rolled onto his bed, drew the curtians and shut his eyes for nice, peaceful, dreamless sleep.

For the next few days, Harry's mood lightened. His mind was clear, his Quidditch performance was great, and none were happier to see this improvement than his two best friends.

"You know, Harry, you've really changed," Hermione said. She sat oppotie from him and Ron in the great hall for lunch. "Feel like going to Hogsmeade this afternoon."

"Yeah," said Harry, digging into his breakfast. "Sure. Ron, you're coming?"

"Yeah, Fred and George might be there, too."

"I wonder if they started selling their merchandise there."

"We could check it out."

"Alright..!" It was like normal. After lunch they walked together to Hogsmeade, searching for Fred and George.

"I don't know if they're here," said Ron, peering around the streets. "Anyway, let's go to Honeydukes." Hermione rolled her eyes.

"I swear, Ron, all you think of is food!" Ron scowled and pulled them off in the other direction. They came in empty handed and came out with chocolate frogs, Fizzing Whizbees, and Bertie Botts every Flavor Beans, particularly Ron.

"Let's go to the Three Broomsticks," Hermione suggested when Ron was done shoveling sweets into his mouth.

"But I'm nearly broke now!"

"That's your fault, isn't it? Please, I'm thirsty!" Harry grinned and nodded; two against one, and Ron was forced to relent. They forced themselves through a thick crowd and pushed open the door of one of the most popular places in Hogsmeade. The Three Broomsticks was moderatly populated. Hermione hit Ron on the shoulder when she realised he was staring at Madame Rosemerta, the 'attractive' waitress.

The trio sat down at a table and waited for their orders to be taken. Absently, Harry looked around. His eyes steered towards the door in the back. The very same door he went in and heard about his Godfather's false betryal to his parents...

"Ah!" Harry yelped, and his hand flew up the the scar on his head. It panged suddenly, but the pain vanished as fast as it had appeared.

"Harry, what is it?" Hermione asked hastily, her eyesbrows knitted together with a look of concern.

"It's-nothing," he said passively. His stomach was still churning just from thinking of Sirius... And wasn't the Three Broomsticks where his prophecy was told? The one that said in the end, it had to be either him of Voldemort... Neither can live while the other survives. His scar started burning and he doubled over.

"Harry!" Ron said, wide eyed. The boy shook his head.

"I have to... er, I forgot something back at the dorm... I have to go get it. I'll meet you back here in twenty minutes, okay?" Hermione and Ron nodded slightly.

"You sure you're okay?"

"Fine," stated Harry, and he got up. He couldn't wait to leave the cursed place. He pushed his way out and threw open the door. Cool air rushed to his face, but didn't quell his throbbing head. He rubbed his temple while he walked back to the castle. Everything seemed like too much, his head was overcorwding. All he wanted to do now was toss a memory or two into his Pensieve.

Harry clambored through the potrait whole and wasted no time going to the Boy's dorm. Inside, he slid to his knees and cast off the invisibility cloak, withdrawing the pensive. He placed his Pheonix feather wand at his head, eyes screwed in concentration.

If he could let it go, let it all go... A vision of Snape popped into his head.

"Giving you this, Potter. Take it. And for Merlin's sake hide it. And do not store any thoughts about the Dark Lord in there."

What would he know?" Harry thought angrily. How woudl he know what it's like have fragemented visions of your parents death swirling in your head all day long? To fake a smile even though you were told of a prophecy that says your fate is to kill or be killed. He wished he never knew of that stupid prophecy. He wished he wasn't born.

A silvery thread was removed from his head, and fell gracefully into the cloudy pot. Harry peered in, and saw Dumbledore's face, repeated everything he heard the night Sybill Trelawney told of the prophecy. He pushed the Pensive back on the shelf, threw the invisibilty cloak haphazardly over the thing, and slammed the door on his exit. He was going to meet Hermione and Ron.
