Harry Potter and the Dark Defenses
Chapter 6 ***Truth Be Told***
Harry sat at a desk in the room that was now his own. As soon as he had returned, Dumbledore had shown him the way to the staff quarters, which was right in the entrance hall behind the staircase. It basically opened the same as the door to the Slytherin common room.
Now he was waiting for seven o'clock and Ron's arrival.
Sighing, he got up and decided to go walk around the grounds. And go say hello to Hagrid.
Smiling at the thought of the half giant, he left the room.

Just as Harry stepped out of the staff quarters Ron came in through the large, double doors.
"Hello Harry."
"Oh, hello Ron."
Ron grinned. "Not expecting me?"
"Well I was going to go see Hagrid to take up the time until you got here but since you're here I guess I won't." Forcing a smile, he headed towards the Great Hall, knowing that no one would be there.
They walked in silence and sat down at the Gryffindor table.
Ron looked at him and asked, "So, where've you been all these years?"
Harry smiled at his old friend and replied, "First I want you to promise me that you won't do anything crazy when I tell you."
"Crazy? Why would I do something crazy?"
"You'll find out when I tell you."
"Oh c'mon Harry. It can't be that bad.
Harry gave a little bark of laughter. "Ron, nothing can be worse than what I'm going to tell you. But first promise me that you won't do anything crazy."
"Why are you making me promise?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Just because. You promise? Either promise or I'm not telling."
Ron frowned.
"Harry…"
"Promise, Ron."
Looking grumpy Ron growled, "Fine. I promise. Now will you tell me?"
Harry nodded.
"Of course. I just hope your ready to hear it."
"We won't know till you tell me."
"Good point."
"Tell me already!"
"By Merlin, your testy nowadays."
Ron glared at him and Harry smiled and held up his hands. "Okay, okay. Calm down. I'll tell you."
Taking a deep breath he began to tell what he had told Draco and Hermione the night before.
A/N: Mwaahaha! A cliffie! ^^ I couldn't help it. It fit so well! And I'm evil. Hahahaha!
Next Chapter: Ron's response and maybe, MAYBE, Harry's first class. Either that or the Sorting Ceremony. I'm unsure at the moment. We'll just have to wait and see.
