I am very upset with all of my readers that call themselfs Harry Potter fans. I recently got my first
book back from my friend (Grrrrrr, she ruined my book so I made her buy me a new one. AND IT
TOOK FOREVER!!!!!) And I was reading it last night and I found that I was SOOO wrong. I
said before that Rowena had a pet *Raven*, since you know, Ravenclaw, you would think,
Raven, but no. It's a golden *Eagle*. I am so bad, and I am ashamed that none of you spotted
that.

Anyway, the stupid disclaimer. I own nothing, yaddi, yaddi. yadda! JK is all that is good. She
rocks! Please don't sue me! :)

Just a little warning, I skip around a but here. I may leap forward a year in one chapter, or spend
3 chapters on one day, so, yeah, just keep your eyes open, and pay attention to what I'm telling
you , or you may find yourself lost. : )

Thanx again to all of my people that actually read this, like Katie Mare for a while, I don't know
if she's read recently, since my stupid parents took away my internet access for a week (HOW
WILL I LIVE!!) And also to Aislin, cause she is very good to me and reads every piece of shit
that I post, so, thank you very much to the both of you, and all of you other happy people who
read my stuff. You are all awesome. Muchos Gracias!!

God, don't you all love my a/n, they're so much cooler then some people, who barely right
anything, I mean, at least I keep some contact w/ my happy people who read my stuff. You are
the best!!! r/r!!!

HEART OF HUFFLEPUFF

Everything was going smoothly he thought to himself as he paced around his cold lair.
Everything was falling where he wanted it to be. Sure, he knew they were on to him, but they
would never admit, he was Salazar Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts four.

The world was once again turning in his direction. He had his chamber finished, his new spell was
working well, and two more were on the way, and killing curse, and one for extreme pain. You
couldn't go wrong with two great things like that.

All he had to do know was finish it all up. With these new curses that even the great Godric
didn't know about, he'd be un-stop-able. All he needed to do was secure a bloodline, and he had
found his man. That kid wouldn't stand a chance as soon as the Great Snake worked his *Magic*
on him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Helga sat alone in her room work intensively on her new project for Adri. It was the Fedlius
Charm. It should work if she got everything right, but she didn't know.........She needed to figure
out who it was, or what it was that was after him. What ever it was, it didn't stand a chance
against her, she would protect him to the end of the world.

"Helga?"

"Oh! Hello Godric, I didn't see you come in." She said tiredly as she went back to work striving
over her wooden desk writing down everything and anything out of her multitudes of books trying
to get this thing right.

"I heard all of your students say how much they missed you in class today."

"Oh" She said while she continued to work.

"Good thing Rowena finally buckled down and hired some new teachers. The only classes you
miss now are Care of Magical Creatures, and Herbology." He said bouncing up and down on his
toes, just trying to make conversation with someone who really didn't want to talk to anyone
right now.

"Yeah" she said and never looked up

"Yeah, I'm really glad that all I have to teach now is Transfiguration." He said awkwardly

"You lucky guy" she said again without even making eye contact and sounding barely interested.
Then she sat up and turned around stiffly in her chair "You know something Godric, I'm kind of
in the middle of something, I would appreciate it if you would just state your business and go."
She said irritably and looking him strait in the eye

"Oh" He said, though he sounded almost sad, "Nothing, I just wanted to-" But he was cut off
when a crash came from the room next door

"Oh man, not again" Helga said as she quickly got up form her seat and glided into her bedroom,
Godric followed. In there they found Stubble on the floor with a half broken vase over his head
"Stubble!" She cried as she saw it was the vase her mother had given her when Helga had gone
away, just before she had died.

"Don't worry Helga" Godric said bending down to pick up the pieces as Helga came close to
tears, "I can fix it" He said smiling at her. He pulled his wand out and did a quick charm, and the
vase was as good as new.

"Thank you" She said as he handed it to her, "Maybe I should get a cabinet to put my valuables
in." She said with a smile on her worn face. She had been working for so many sleepless hours,
plugging away at a problem that just seemed hopeless. Then when he saw the happiness in her
eyes he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. She was shocked, but gratefully excepted this
forward motion. Then without another word he walked out of her bedroom and out of her office,
never taking his eyes off of her, and leaving Helga alone and stunned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adrien sat alone in the common room. Everyone else had already gone to sleep. The start-of-
the-term banquet and just finished and he had to listen to another sorting. He was in his fourth
year now, and he didn't see why they had to do all of that in front of everybody, they could just
keep them all in that silly little room and have The Four go in there.

That was their official name now, instead of Headmaster, or Headmistress, it was The Four. They
still were the only ones who did the sorting, even though this past year Professor Rowena had
hired many more staff members. Now most of the teachers only taught one class, except for
Helga, she wanted to do both Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures. Since she was the only
teacher for it, Care of Magical Creatures was only on one day, and very hard to get into. Luckily
Adri had gotten into a long time ago, and he had connection with the teacher.

Now, Professor Godric only taught Transfiguration, Professor Salazar only taught Potions, and
Professor Rowena taught both Divination, and Astronomy. She couldn't pick which she liked
more. So, the two witches seemed the more hard working then the two wizards. They had hired
many more teachers for Runes, Muggle studies, Arithmacy, D.A.D.A. and all of the other courses.
Adri still didn't like any teacher as much as Helga.

That night he sat in the common room with only a few candles lit. He opened the windows, and
put out the fire in the grate, and sat alone staring out the window. He gazed across the softly
moonlit land, the purple mountains, the rolling fields, the dark, yet almost glowing forest, the
shining lake. The sight almost jumped at him, like from a painting from a while ago, showing a
more peaceful time. But today was good. There was nothing wrong, that he knew of, and
Hogwarts was getting better everyday.

Suddenly behind him, he heard a noise. He turned his head quickly and caught out of the corner
of his eye and shadow, or something. This happened all the time. He would hear a tiny noise, and
his vivid imagination would start wondering whether there was something actually there. There
never was, but just in case....

"Hello?" He called out as he walked across the cold stone floor. Nothing. "Is anybody there?"

~No~

"Who said that!" he said spinning around drawing his wand

~Nobody~

"I swear I heard somebody say that!"

~Don't swear, it isn't polite~

"What's a voice to tell me what's polite or not! Who are you!?!?!

~Nothing, pay no attention to me~

"I kind of have to, you're talking to me, talk about not polite, you don't just walk away from
something talking right to you"

~But I'm not, I'm just a figment of your imagination~

"If you're a figment, why can't you just go away?"

~I don't really want to~

"Well, I would like for you to go away. See, right now, I'm imagining that a little person blows
your head off so that you get out of my mind"

~Violent are we?~

"Very, now state your business, or get out. Is there a reason you've infested my head?"

~No, not really~

"Then why are you still here?"

~I don't know~

"Would you at least tell me your name?"

~Serpent tongue~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There it is, my Chapter. I tried to make a cliffhanger, but I doubt it worked. Old Salazar is
mixing up some new brain control potions or something funky right?? I liked that conversation. It
was fun to write.

The estimated date of completion is July 12th for this monster. I may just have to sneak on to the
internet and post this baby sometime soon, under my sisters name though. I really want it up, but
don't tell my parents, ok???

Does everybody like my romance aspect???? I'm fond of it. I need to expand on that.

Oh! Just to let you know, since I'm working so tirelessly on this one, I don't think that there'll be
any more other chapters of my other stuff up for a while (unless I get really bored with this one)

Ok, I hope you enjoyed my stuff. It makes me happy to write it. It gives me something to do
over summer. I don't think you can get a tan from the glow of a monitor, but I already know the
downside of sunburns, so I'm not to thrilled to be going back......outside...again.


The 'serpent tongue' is what they called Salazar, just making it clear to all of you who don't pay
attention to anything! Actually that's more me, but yeah, there must be some people like me out
there!

Stupid red spelling error lines!!!


Alrighty, goodnight to you all, I am going to go and plant my butt in front of the tellie (Fun
British words!) and watch some late night TV, since I can't go online, stupid grounded-ness

OH, one thing, I am very sorry If I spelled the Charm the Helga was working on wrong. It's the
same one that Lily and James were under, you know, with a secret-keeper. : )

Bye people, and I shall see YOU in the land of LA!

Remember read my other stuff too!!!!!
