Chapter Three - "Dumbledore, Snape and new found talents"
'First day back at school, doing actually work,' Harry thought 'Wonder what I'll get stuck with today?'
Ron, Harry Neville, Dean and Seamus awoke almost like clockwork.
Ron was dressed first and ready for his prefect duties. The others took their time
"Harry, Harry, Harry!" Ron called urgently.
"Yeah?"
"Snape. He is outside the commonroom, waiting for YOU!" Ron replied and then dashed off to breakfast.
That was when Harry awoke. SNAPE, outside, waiting for him.
'Crap,' Harry thought 'I was supposed to see Dumbledore last night.'
Harry dashed to his bag, found the video and dashed down to the common room. Lavender and Parvarti were standing near the hole, too scared to go out. Harry walked out and he met the sneering face he knew all too well. Snape turned and strode off with Harry not too far behind

"Fizzing Wizzbee"
The stairway he had travelled up three times before, twice in second year and once in fourth year, appeared in front of Harry.
"Go." Those two letters Snape uttered sent chills up Harry's spine. Harry walked up the hard, stone steps and knocked on the door to Dumbledore's office. It opened without a sound.
"Tea, Butterbeer, coffee, pumpkin juice, water or would you like a Sherbert Lemon?"
Harry jumped. He turned around and found Dumbledore talking to him with wand at ready.
"Umm, a Butterbeer please." Harry said politely.
Daumbledore waved his wand and two Butterbeers and a bag of Sherbert Lemons appeared. He gave Harry a Butterbeer and kept the Sherbet Lemons and the other Butterbeer for himself.
"Sit." Dumbledore said " Now first off, I believe you have a certain video. Is that so?"
Harry nodded. His mouth couldn't formulate words.
"May I borrow it?" Dumbledore asked.
Harry took a sip of his Butterbeer and spoke as he passed the video over.
"Sure, but there are a few things I would like to know."
"Fire away!"
"I was wondering why my parents made that video and how the Weasley Family came into it's possession."
"I cannot answer the first question until I have watched the video." Dumbledore paused for a long time. Almost as if he was trying to stop himself from half crying, half laughing "But how the Weasleys came into it's possession? I believe Arthur found it among his misused Muggle artifacts. Many muggles found it highly unusual that it always showed the program they hated with a passion." Now Dumbledore was smiling again.
"Was there anything else you needed to talk to me about Professor?"
Dumbledore sat back in his chair, occassionally taking sitting sips of his butterbeer. By this time Harry was very bored, so he was amusing himself by talking to Fawkes. It seems that Fawkes had learnt some English over the Summer. After what seemed like days, Dumbledore spoke.
"Harry, I have reason to believe that many strange things are going to happen this year at Hogwarts. I want you to remain as safe as possible. Also, the minute anything happens let me know. I am here to help you."
With that Dumbledore got up and opened the door for Harry.
"Now run along. I believe you have a gamkeepers lesson to save."
As Harry walked passed Dumbledore, Dumbledore silently slipped two pieces of paper into Harry's pocket.

It was almost 10pm. Harry, Ron and Hermione were the only ones left in the common room. Well actually there was one other person left in the common room. Nathaniel White, a 6th year prefect known for his extreme good looks.
"Harry." someone whispered from the stairs.
Harry looked up and saw Neville. Harry waved him over.
"Have you got that spell?" Harry asked.
"Yep!"
"Let me see it!" Hermione butted in.
Neville handed it to Hermione.
"What's this spell for?" Hermione asked in what seemed like a nice tone for Hermione.
"Well, umm," Neville was stalling "It is to try and find out what my Australian pen pal, Hannah, looks like."
Ron stiffled a cry of anger whilst Hermione hid behind the piece of paper Neville had handed her. Harry was the only one with out an emotion.
"Shall we begin?" Harry asked.
The four Gryffindors walked into the centre of the room where Nevillebegan the spell.
"Picturesque Letternoi." The spell was performed but something was not right.
Hermione looked up and screamed. Nathaniel ran over to see what he could do to help. Then the room went silent.
