Chapter 14

"Misters Potter, Weasley and Longbottom I do so hope you have you have a good reason for being out after curfew."

Snape moved out of the shadows in front of the frightened Gryfindor's.

"Well….I'm waiting"

"Er…well…Malfoy." Snape's eyes flashed

"And pray tell, how are you going to blame your misdemeanours on the Malfoy twins this time?!"

Chris's brown eyes flashed with anger but he fell silent.

"Well if that is all you have to say then 50 points from Gryffindor . . . . EACH…..for Potter and Weasley"

"100 POINTS! BUT SIR! PLEASE!"

"SILENCE!" Snape seemed to grow more sinister with that one word.

"You will also serve detention on Friday night with Hagrid…..is that clear!"

Both boys nodded scowls on there faces

"As for you Longbottom" Neville squeaked and pressed himself back against the wall.

"10 points from Gryffindor for your stupidity in being anywhere near these two miscreants, you will also be at my office 8pm tomorrow… Now bed all of you!"

"Dray looks…its Quirrell!"

Rin was right the nervous turban headed teacher was darting from shadow to shadow. The two boys looked at each other identical evil grins on their faces that would put the Weasley twins to shame. They snuck out from their hiding place and crept after the teacher all thoughts of Potter gone.

"What the hell is that idiot up to…? Ha the prat walked into a door!"

"Draco shut it do you want your motor mouth to get us a detention!...that's the forbidden third floor corridor" he pulled Dray into an alcove where they could see better.

"Bloody hell look at the size of that dog!"

Quirrell had managed to get into the locked room and had come face to face with a massive black three headed dog, with vicious red eyes and row after row of razor sharp teeth.

Quirrell sent a stunner at the growing beast but it had no effect, all three heads lunging as one at the shaking professor who only just managed to slam the door shut in time to save his skin.

"Well, well Professor Quirrell what a surprise to find you here"

"P…P...Professor S…Snape!"

"I wasn't aware you were on duty tonight Quirrell" Snape looked at Quirrell with obvious glee at finding him sneaking about.

"F…forgot … m…my attendance l…list" pointed to his classroom that unfortunately for Snape was only two doors down.

"Well then you best get it, I'll walk with you" Rin couldn't help but grin as Snape led Quirrell away.

"Ha now that was 10 times better than seeing Potter humiliated."

Draco looked deep in thought

"Rin… did you see the trap door the dog was stood on"

They started walking back to the dungeons discussing what could be underneath it when some one coughed behind them making both boys stop dead.

"And pray tell why are you wandering the corridors so late at night and might I add totally passed curfew!" Alizarin gulped

"Er professor McGonagall ….how nice to see you"

The boys backed away as the teacher seemed to swell with indignation and anger.

"DETENTION! Both of you!... Friday night with Hagrid! And 50 points from Slytherin!"

"So Longbottom is coming here? Why?" Draco looked up at his mentor with obvious confusion. "He's nothing but a thick klutz Sev."

"Draco your stereotypes and prejudices will be your downfall….now I said dice that flobberworm not mash it… start again"

Snape waved his want and the offending worm vanished as Draco sulkily got another worm and started the slimy task again. Alizarin who had finished his task smirked at his friend.

"Why did you invite Longbottom Sev?" Alizarin sat on the desk beside Draco.

"your Grandfather thinks and me and Lucius agree, that you need as many ally's as possible at Hogwarts, one day Rin you are going to have to create a third side in this war. As for Longbottom, his mother was of Elvin heritage and was one of your aunts closest friends, she fell in love with Frank Longbottom right in this school and married him after graduation but as he was not of Elvin stock Neville was born just a wizard with no Elvin blood very similar to what happened to James. The boy is ostracized in his own house. Offer him friendship and support and you have a potentially loyal ally who with the support of friends could be a very strong wizard."

Draco smirked "Longbottom?...a strong wizard?!"

Rin hit him lightly "you're a prat! Sev is right Neville could be a good ally, plus he's in Gryffindor, we treat him nice and the idiots carry on treating him the way they are, then we have a spy on Chris and he would have access to info on Lilly and James too"

Draco didn't look convinced "are you trying to tell me that Klutz could pull off espionage?"

"Yerh what Neville lacks is confidence not talent Dray"

"But couldn't we use the Weasley twins as our spies at least there fun to be around!"

Rin laughed "no, everyone knows they are out friends and Chris and Ron don't trust them, Neville will be a good secret spy as no one would expect it from him."

"Fine… I guess that makes sense but it doesn't mean I have to like it!"

"You never like anything involving Gryfindor's!, what time is he due Sev?"

There was a knock on the door "it seems now, Draconis let Mr. Longbottom in"

Neville walked in looking very scared.

"You…you wanted to see me…s…sir?"

"indeed Mr. Longbottom please sit" Rin moved up on the desk so Neville could sit next to him "Now Mr Longbottom I have asked you here for two reasons, one is your abysmal taste in friends, Mr Potter and Mr Weasley will never except you and you will never come into your full potential . The second reason I have asked you here is your even more abysmal potions grade… I believe I have the solution to both of your problems. I believe you know the Malfoy twins, they have agreed to be your tutors, if you get to know them you will find much better friends ." Rin grinned at Neville

"Yerh were not quite as bad as you may think but I would suggest not broadcasting our involvement to your Gryffindor friends as we're not the most liked up in the lions nest"

Neville looked like he was going to cry

"You really want to be my friend?...but don't you hate Gryfindor's?"

"Yes!" Rin elbowed Draco and glared at him

"Only certain ones Nev, so what ya say…we'll get that potion grade up for you and show you just how friends should act towards each other."

"I…yes…please"

Dumbledore's blue eyes sparkled as he looked at the two Potter Elders' before him.

"So both Malfoy boys have detention with Hagrid on Friday as well as Chris and Ron, my plan is to pair Chris and Alizarin up for the detention. If as we suspect that Alizarin is Harry then the charms put on him should start to fade with the close proximity to his blood brother.

James scowled "I do not see why we are trying so hard to prove the boy is Harry its not like he's anything special and to be honest I don't want an elf in my home again!" Lilly looked at her husband in shock but Dumbledore just nodded sadly

"Well James my boy the thing is Chris is not showing any of the skills we expected him to be showing by this age where as Alizarin is top of his class and had excellent control of his magic, there is always the possibility we chose the wrong boy all those years ago"

"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY! THAT CHRIS IS NOT THE BOY WHO LIVED BECAUSE THAT'S JUST INSAIN!"

"Please James calm down I'm just saying it is a possibility and needs to be looked into."

Lilly looked really upset "so Harry maybe the boy who defeated Voldermort?...is there anyway to prove it?"

"There is one way…..now listen carefully….."

Ok that was it for today I'll try and update again as soon as I can please read and review and tell me what you thing. I love all your questions and suggestions so keep em coming

Love ya
