Chapter 4

all the color from Harry's face drained away. He Heard Snape again,

" come on in Potter, I can see you" said Snape. Slowly and cautiously, Harry pushed open the door and walked inside. He could see Snape had the same look of loathing on his face, but he looked a bit more frightening with the fire illuminating his sneering face. Malfoy was looking at him in disbelief, but Harry knew it was slowly turning to anger.

" what are you doing here!" yelled Malfoy.

" I thought I heard something, I just came" Harry lied.

" I see" said Snape wih his usual sarcasm, "tell me Potter, when you 'just' came, how much did you hear"

" nothing much" said Harry vaugely.

" I see" said Malfoy, now that Hary noticed it, he sounded like Snape even though he a drawling tone.

" how much did you hear?" asked Snape more firmly.

" nothing"

" so you lied when you told me that you 'just came'"

" uhhh..."

" when will you learn Potter, that people have a right to privacy!" hissed Snape.

" look, i'm sorry, I just thought it wierd that some people were having a conversation in the middle of the night"

" so that gave you the right to over hear!"

" i'm sorry! And did'nt hear anything much!" said Harry.

" that is not the point, you know how much I would like to kill you Potter?"

" I heard" muttered harry under his breath.

" what's that?" asked Malfoy.

" nothing" snapped Harry. Why did this have to happen? Why did Snape have to see him?

" you heard how much I would like to kill you?"

" no"

" don't lie to me Potter, Dumbledore might be blinded by stupidity, but I can see through you!"

' don't react Harry, ignore him, ignore him' Harry told himself

" i'm sorry Potter, but I just dont believe you, I will have to modify your memory, dont get me wrong" leered Snape. Harry's eye's widened in horror as Snape took out his wand, he decided to give it one more try.

" but I did'nt hear anything!"

" will you tell Potter?"

" tell what?" asked Harry.

" if I find out that Lucius know's or 'anybody' knows, I won't hesitate to kill you"

" I.. I won't tell"

" so you did hear Potter" Hary stared at the fire.

" if you want to be succesful in life, you should learn how to lie better" Snape said smiling.

" get out of here Potter and be thankfull I did'nt really wipe out your memory"

Harry considered Malfoy and Snape stonily. It was best to get out of here. Harry walked off to his room, he had to tell somebody what had happened.

***

the Next few days were worse than Harry imagined. Snape had taken it upon himself to be even more mean to Harry, and Draco and him never used to talk to each other. If in the rare occasion they did speak, they ended up rolling on the floor.

Harry was going to write to Ron and Hermione about what had happened, but Snape was making that very hard. He kept on apparating into Harry's room when he was preparing to write to his friends. But this time, Harry had nailed it, he had written to Ron, Hermione and Sirius. The letter's were safely hidden under the floor, and Harry just had to wait untill Hedwig came back from hunting dinner. Harry stared out of the window, waiting for Hedwig to come back, he knew ofcourse that it was dinner time. But he did'nt want dinner, he would have something when everybody else was asleep. Finally, he saw Hedwig soaring towards the window with a mouse in her beak, but Harry was both surprised and happy to see she had some letters tied to her leg as well.

Hedwig landed on the bed, and then went to her cage. Harry picked up the letter's and went through them, there was one from Ron, Hermione, Sirius and another thin one. It did'nt have the hogwarts crest on it but it was heavy even thought it was thin. Hary eyed in curiously ad then opened it. He looked inside to find it empty. Harry checked the evelope for some kind of letter, but there was none.

He threw the letter away and picked up Ron's..

hey Harry!

I can't beleive, you have Snape and Malfoy staying there! And my eyes almost popped out of my head when you said that Lucius Malfoy visited you! This is really strange. But how could Malfoy be taken away from his father? Do you reckon Dumbledore is taking all the death eaters children away from them? But why Malfoy? It's so obvious that he want's to follow his father's footsteps!

I would like to write more, but Ginny is saying that I shouldn't load Hedwig with so many letter's, she already has Hermoine's and some other one. I'll see ya later!

Ron.

Harry smiled when he read Ron's letter. It was so good to have a break from Snape and Malfoy. He decided to eat first and then read his other letters. When he went down, to his relief, there was no one at the table. Walking quickly to the kitchen he grabbed some crisps. On his way back he passed the guest room, where Snape was staying. He had redecorated it. The curatains were black and he had screemed the windows, the electric fire was a real one and the bright polished furniture was black now. Harry wondered if Snape liked destroying things. Sudenly he had an overwhelming desire to search the room.

Harry did'nt know why he did it, but he did, there were all sorts of magical knick knacks around, sadly there was no diary, like he had hoped for. No clue of his secret affair with Nariccsa Malfoy. It was a bit dissapointing, Harry had to admit. He leaned against the empty fire and studied the room. It was just as he suspected. Nothing interesting.

" hullo Harry" said a voice. He jumped and looked around. He had been caught... again.

"P.. Proffesor Snape?"

" no, Potter, it's Malfoy, I gave you the fright of your life did'nt I?" he said snickering.

" shut up" said Harry warily

" Potter, wait till Snape finds out you've been tamepring around in his own room" said Malfoy smiling.

" I don't think I want to wait untill than happens"

" fine, then I want to ask you something..if you answer me truthfully, I won't tell Severus"

" ok" said harry giving in.

" do you have a crush on Hermione?"

" yes" Harry blurted out. Harry looked at Malfoy in shock. Why had he just said that? How could he have said that to Malfoy!

" why did I just say that?" asked Harry angrily.

" did you receive a empty letter today?"

" yes" said harry slowly

" Snape sent it"

" what was in the Letter?"

" truth potion in the form of gas" Harry paled.

" no!"

" yeah, oh man, this is going to be fun!" Draco said doubling up in laughter.

" it's not funny" sa id Harry, Snape would find out abour many things likekly to get a whole lot of people into trouble.

" you're finally going to get expelled" sang Malfoy.

" how long before this wears off?" Harry asked desperately.

" don't know, why don't you ask Snape, he's right behind you.."
