A\N: Hi! I've been busy for a while but I decided to write a longer chapter as that is requested. One reviewer asked me to explain where this is going. Well this will be Harry's choice between good and evil. He could join the dark side and rule, or he could stay on the light side and keep his friends.



A Big Bump In The Night

Harry was sitting on the train with Hermoine, Ron, Ginny, Neville, and, the Creevys. Denis and Colin spent a lot of time trying to talk to Harry, but when Harry started talking to Ron, Herm, and, Neville, they talked to Ginny. Apparently they had started a new club, and Harry had a bad felling it had something to do with him.

But what made him the most distracted was the pain in his hand. It was a throbbing pain that refused to stop. He had a bad feeling it had something to do with Bridget. Thus through the whole of the ride he was plagued by bad feelings. He was temporarily distracted by somebody coming in the car. 'Oh no, not Malfoy again.' But he didn't have a sneer; he didn't even have his cronies. He turned to Harry and said, "Potter, I would just like to say, I'm sorry. I've been making things hard for you since our first day. Now I know what you feel like and I'm really sorry. My parents are dead, and I'm going to end up with my uncle, a muggle. I just hope you'll accept my apology. "

"I guess that it took a lot of guts to come up here and say that to my face. But why aren't you in the slytheren car?"

"The other slytherens decided I wasn't worthy of being a slytheren because my parents betrayed the Dark Lord."

"Betrayed him?"

"They had been leaking information for years."

"Draco," said Hermoine, "Would you like to sit up here with us?"

"You mean you don't hate me anymore?"

"I know what it's like to be alone with no friends and family. I wouldn't wish it on anyone." Said Harry getting up and moving his trunk, letting Draco sit by him (This will NOT be slash).

The Hogwarts express pulled into the village of Hogshead. The students piled out of the cars. And into the carriages. Hagred's deep booming voice was once again calling the first years over to himself. Harry and his gang packed into a carriage and started toward Hogwarts. It was a full moon and a fell moon was shining over the lake making it look like there was another sky just below them. They all piled out when they reached the castle.

Hogwarts, just as magnificent and beautiful as ever. Professor McGonagal was standing outside the huge doors of the building. "We have been waiting." She said, "Is a Bridget Murphy here?"

Harry's heart fell into his feet as he saw the same girl who had attacked him walk up to her and say, "I am Bridget Murphy."

"Miss Murphy is an exchange student from America. She is going to be attending Hogwarts in fifth year. I hope that you will all try to make her at home. She will now come with me to be sorted. The rest of you are asked to go to the great hall."

As they walked to the great hall Harry whispered to the others that that was the vampire. They all acted as he expected, they panicked.

At the feast Harry noticed that Snape was not at he staff table. Instead there was a young woman in his place. She was a slender blond in a green robe. She was smiling nervously and talking to professor Trelawny. He also noticed that Madame Hooch was gone. And in her place he saw a tall red haired man. He did not recognize either of them from anywhere.

After the sorting Prof. Dumbledore stood up and said, "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. I hope that professor McGonagal has told you about our new exchange student. As you see we have two new teachers. Mr. Lars I. Subick who will be teaching quidditch, and Myra Zinmen who will be teaching potions."(A\N rearrange the letters in the first teacher's name.)

"Now many of you probably are wondering where Prof. Snape is. Well he has been awarded the position of DADA that he has wanted so long."

Snape suddenly walked up to the staff table and sat down on the chair he wanted so much. He was smiling a with a maniac glint in his eye. Harry felt like stabbing himself with a fork.

After the feast Harry was so full that he had trouble staying up long enough to walk to the dorms. He had stayed a little longer than the others so he could talk to Hagred. As he walked down the corador he saw, or rather he felt, something following. He turned around quickly and foundhimself looking into ttwo black eyes.

It was her. Bridget, she was wearing a black clothing and looked very sad.

Harry almost screamed, but she covered his mouth and said, "Do you want to be caught?"

She pulled him into an old classroom and cast a scilence charm and said, "I'm sorry Harry, but I've got to do what father said. Please don't hate me."

"What do you mean?"

"M-m-my father, is Tom Riddle. Pease! I didn't want to have to do this."

She pinned him down against the floor.

"Wait, Harry, if you would join us of your own free will? would you? If you will I wouldn't have to bite you."

"I, will never, join the dark side."

By now she was crying.

"Harry! If you don't join you'll die! Father will kill you! Please don't do that to me. I, I love you."
