I've been having trouble writing this chapter! I've been having tons of
writer's block, but I was recently inspired with what to do in the next few
chapters. But I need this as an introductory chapter sort of thing.
I dedicate this chapter to Congerking, A-man, Silver Angel, and LittleEar BigEar's sis! Thank you all for being the only people to review.

Chapter 10:
"Harry! Harry!" Lily shouted towards Harry.
"Sorry, Professor," Harry answered her sheepishly. Harry was worrying about. well just about everything. All through breakfast and lunch he could feel a pair of eyes from somewhere boring into him. And Harry was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable. And the unease must've been starting to show on his face because he could see his mom stealing nervous glances at him during Charms.
Lily continued on with the rest of the lesson glancing worriedly at Harry.
"Harry?" she asked still looking worried after the class was over. "May I speak with you after class?"
Harry nodded and waited for everyone else to leave before approaching her desk.
"Is something wrong?" she asked him voicing the concern that she felt for him.
Harry hesitated. He had a bad feeling. Everything had been so good; until school started. He was starting to feel anxious like someone was watching him. And it was one of those constant feelings. He wondered for a moment if he should tell his mom, but he didn't want to worry her anymore.
"No," he answered trying to sound honest. "There's nothing."
Lily looked at him unconvinced.
"Okay, I'll see you later than," she told him.
"Bye," he said and ran out of the room.
Waiting outside the door was Ron and Hermione.
"What did she want?" they asked at the same time.
Harry laughed and Hermione and Ron both blushed causing Harry to laugh even more.
"Well?" Hermione asked annoyed.
"Nothing," Harry answered.
"There had to be something," Hermione insisted.
Harry could feel eyes pressing against his back, like he had this morning. He turned around sharply and looked around the corridor. There was nothing.
"There was," Harry answered still looking around the corridor. "I'll tell you later."
They walked on to the Gryffindor common room. Charms had been the last class they had had that day. They were about to go to the common room when Harry decided to take them to the library instead. When they were safely in the library, Harry dragged a confused Ron and Hermione into a corner.
"She was just worried about me," Harry told them.
"And that's something you can't tell us in the Charms corridor? Or the Gryffindor common room?" Ron asked.
"No. Well, I just don't want anyone to get suspicious," Harry answered looking around starting to feel paranoid. Hermione nodded her head to show that she agreed with Harry making him feel slightly less paranoid. "If they find out that." Harry started but let the sentence trail off.
"I think you're being a little paranoid," Ron told Harry. Harry did feel like he was being paranoid. But he almost felt that he had a reason to.
"He's right, Ron, Harry needs to be really careful," Hermione told him.
"Fine, can we go to supper now? I'm hungry," Ron complained.
Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "Sure."
They walked out of the library. They were followed by a soft thumping noise. Hermione stopped walking abruptly.
"Do you hear that?" she asked. The noise stopped.
Ron and Harry shook their heads and headed out of the library towards the Great Hall.
"I think you're getting paranoid, too," Ron told Hermione.
They entered the Great Hall and took a seat next to Ginny.
"Hey, where were you guys? I didn't see you in the common room," Ginny asked as a way of greeting.
"In the library," Hermione answered.
"Oh," Ginny replied. "You guys missed out on some really cool stuff!"
"What did we miss out on?" Ron asked interestedly.
"Fred and George put out some of their joke shop items! And, oh it was hilarious!" Ginny said laughing.
Ron laughed and Harry was on the verge of laughing when he remembered that he wasn't supposed to know anything about the Weasley Wizard Wheezes.
"Anything else?" Ron asked Ginny.
"Nope. Wait! There's an early Hogsmeade weekend for some reason. I can't remember what. I was in the middle of reading it when Neville accidentally ate a canary cream. It kind of distracted my attention," Ginny told them.
"That's great!" Hermione said excitedly.
"Yeah!" Ginny said happily.
They ate the rest of their dinner and left the Great Hall.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the mudblood and the weasel," said the cold drawling voice of Draco Malfoy. He looked over at Harry and added, "And their new little friend."
Hermione glared coldly at Malfoy. While, Ron reached into his robes and grabbed his wand. He was just about to hex Malfoy, except for the fact that Harry and Hermione were struggling to hold hid arm down.
"Let go!" he yelled angrily at them.
"Don't, Ron!" Hermione moaned sound nervous. "You'll get in trouble!"
Malfoy's eyes flickered back over to Harry.
"What's that on your head?" he asked looking curiously at the scar.
"Nothing," Harry said letting go of Ron to flatten his bangs nervously. Lightening bolt shaped scars weren't common in his world. They probably weren't common in this world either.
"Leave us alone, Malfoy," said Hermione still struggling to keep a hold on Ron.
"What's going on?" came a voice from the doorway. It was James.
"Nothing," answered Malfoy.
"Go to your dorms," James said coldly to Malfoy.
Malfoy was reluctant to go, but he left grumbling anyways.
James stared at the three of them for a moment, obviously deciding what to do.
"Follow me," James told them finally.
James led them into a deserted classroom. He looked into the hallway and made sure that no one was in the hallway. Then he shut the door to the classroom.
He looked directly at Harry and said, "Be careful."
"I am being careful," Harry told his father.
"Don't spend too much time around the Slytherins, especially Malfoy. They're bad news. The whole lot of them are Death Eaters," James sounding far more serious than he had in the past few days that they had known him. "They might start to pick up on things."
Harry didn't really know how to respond to what James was saying, so he nodded his head and let James continue with what he was saying.
"I've spent a lot of time catching Death Eaters," James said sound more and more serious by the second. "Malfoy might tell things to his father and we don't want them getting suspicious about you."
"Have they found away to get me back yet?" Harry said feeling hopeful and sad at the same time.
"No," James said. "I'll ask Dumbledore about it. And make sure when you talk about it that you make sure no one else is listening or even around."
They nodded their heads and left the room. James stayed there for awhile to make sure that no one knew that they were in the room together.
James nervously walked back to the teacher's rooms about twenty minutes after they left. He sat down on the floor and looked at the trunk he brought. He sighed and opened the trunk. He dug through his robes, photo albums, and other things. He stopped when he found what he was looking for. He hesitated and pulled out the Marauder's Map and the Invisibility Cloak. He set them out and decided that he would give them to Harry tomorrow. They needed to keep Harry safe at all costs.
Meanwhile. Harry, Ron, and Hermione headed back to the Gryffindor common room. They walked in silence for several minutes.
"Professor Potter is right," Hermione told them in barely a whisper. "You need to be careful."
Ron nodded his head in agreement.
"I know," Harry answered quietly.
They walked on to the Gryffindor common room. Hermione went up to the girl's dorm. Ron and Harry walked up to the boy's dorms. Harry got ready for bed and fell into an uneasy sleep.
Another Meanwhile. Voldemort's supporter returned to the owlrey to send him another letter. The Death Eater had heard many strange things today. His bad feeling about Harry Potter had worsened after all the things he had overheard. He knew he should have waited until Voldemort had replied to the first owl, but the Death Eater knew that he needed to get this information to Voldemort as soon as he could. He knew that the strange things he had heard had to be told to Voldemort. And he couldn't waste a single second. He watched the owl fly off towards Voldemort. Then he yawned, as he became sleepy. He turned around and started towards his dormitory.
