The rest of the holidays went well, despite the fact that Draco Malfoy was roaming the halls. Hermione was particularly jumpy because the day after next, Ron was coming back from Egypt. She kept hiding herself in books, of course Harry knew what she was doing, and always tried to help. It didn't work to well, she continued writing, by the end of the day right before Ron's arrival, she had read over 6 books. Harry thought she needed help madly. Or maybe it was just her way of burning off nervousness. He didn't know and so he didn't bother. Instead he stayed in the common room, polishing the newest version of the Firebolt. This was his way of relaxing. He went to talk to McGonagall about Sirius the afternoon Ron was due back. He wanted Sirius to come visit for Easter, though he needed the Headmaster's approval, he had to go by McGonagall to get to the Headmaster's office, obviously his password was no longer Sherbert Lemon!
McGonagall looked at Harry as she said the password through gritted teeth.
"Screws are lose" was the password, obviously poor Professor Dumbledore hadn't caught on to the password that Lupin and Minerva had decided on during the summer holidays. Harry shook his head silently, trying not to laugh, then followed Professor McGonagall into Dumbledore's office.
Walking up in front of Dumbledore, he looked perplexed, or lost in his own thoughts.
"Hello dear lads, how may I help you?" asked Dumbledore, looking at the floor.
McGonagall cleared her throat. "Professor, Mr. Potter has something to request.. "
Harry stepped forward, and Dumbledore finally raised his eyes from Harry's feet, to his face.
"My! You've grown so much in the past year, I remember when you were wee high.. "and he showed with his hand, a few inches off the ground.
"Sir, I'd like to know if my godfather Sirius could visit Hogwarts secretly as Padfoot, during the Easter Holidays?" asked Harry courageously.
Dumbledore nodded, and smiled. "Of course my dear boy, but keep it a secret.. we don't want your friends to find out you have family!" snickered Dumbledore.
"Yes, Dumbledore.. now, Harry must go back to his dormitories.. " said McGonagall.
** When Harry got back to the dormitories, he could hear two voices talking in the common room. Then he stopped himself. Ron, he's back. I'll leave those two to talk for a bit he told himself. Turning around he ran into Draco.
"Malfoy. " Harry nearly spat the word out as though it tasted foul.
"Potter, where's your girlfriend, Granger?" sneered Draco.
"She's not my girlfriend, Malfoy, I told you!" he bellowed.
"Now dearies, not fighting over a girly.. " sat the Plump Lady in the picture frame that guarded Gryffindor Tower.
((What do you think!??! I'm not sure, I don't find it intriguing, but I still continue writing.. anyways, I hope you enjoy up to now!! ())
