Hello. I'm back. Really. No, you're not dreaming!
DISCLAIMER: I own Dan, Will, and the nice little plot. That's it. Honest.
chibi-Tenshi ~ Yes, I had to give you a cliffy! Here, a nice chapter to make you happy.
veronik ~ thanks for the support, I'd make the chapters longer if I had more time to write before I got a headache! (eyestrain - I should be getting my glasses tomorrow! Wah!)
ER ~ Oh, you poor confused thing! Honestly, I'm confused about it too!
King Crimson Fan On a Mac ~ Yes, I am evil, proud of it! Thanks!
Anora ~ Thanks!
Kero-chan ~ I continued soon, are you a happy camper now?
(anonymous) ~ *grin* you don't hate me, you're just saying that to make me feel better.
Fair Lady Ravenclaw ~ My my my, you ARE a Ravenclaw! You got the House right! Thanks!

Harry leaned forward slightly and smiled sadly. "More than you'd ever expect," he said softly.
William snorted. "Some answer that is. Spill Potter, what do you know about Harry? HOW do you know him?"
"Oh, we met a very long time ago," Harry said, waving his hand vaguely. "He's very sorry about leaving so unexpectedly and all that, but it wasn't his choice."
"Harry," Minerva began, trying to stay calm. "Do you think we could speak with him ourselves?"
He nodded. "Tomorrow afternoon. It's a Hogsmeade weekend, so you wont need to worry about classes. If I'm going to be honest, and I am, he asked me to come up here and tell you to meet him. He'll be thrilled to see Tom."
Minerva nodded. "And will you be joining us?" she enquired.
Harry shrugged and suppressed a grin. "We'll see."

Ron woke up before Dean's alarm clock went off that morning, and immediately looked to Harry's bed.
He was relieved to see his best friend in it, asleep as far as he could tell. He got up and got dressed, planning on leaving early so Dean wouldn't be able to 'repay' him for turning his robes pink the night before.
"Since when do you get up this early?" someone asked as Ron pulled on his trousers.
Ron jumped, and fell on his butt, tangling his legs in his trousers as he did so. He looked up to see amused green eyes watching him.
He sighed in relief. "Morning Harry. Look, do us a favour and try to be quiet?"
Harry got out of bed and Ron saw that he was dressed already.
"I've been waiting for someone to wake up so I wouldn't have to go to the Great Hall alone and have people sit with me." Ron was glad his friend was using a quiet voice. "But uh, why so quietly?"
"I turned Dean's robes pink again yesterday, and he set his alarm clock for slightly earlier than normal to get up and repay me for it." He grinned. "I got used to it after a few times, and I get up really early all the time now."
"Oh," Harry said. "Well, don't just lay there tangled up, get off your arse and get dressed."
Ron did so.

Minerva was nervous. She, Dan, Will and Tom had gotten up early, with the hope of avoiding Albus and Ginny Weasley, who after the Chamber of Secrets incident in her first year might recognize Tom.
It worked. They were sitting, eating and chatting like old friends (which they were, of course) when the first people up aside from themselves walked in.
"I don't get it, he just pointed something out, and you turn his robes pink. Why?"
Minerva sighed with relief, recognizing the voice immediately as Harry Potter's.
"Well I did it once a few months ago," Ron Weasley replied as the two boys entered the Hall. "And it sort of became a habit. Now I've just got to watch out, because he's gonna hex me first chance he gets."
They sat at the Gryffindor Table, neither even glancing in their direction.
After they finished eating, they went straight to Hogsmeade, as Minerva was free from having to watch which students went. The job had fallen to Ashlee Alderman, the DADA professor, who was quite annoyed by that.
******************************************************
Hogsmeade, 1997
They wandered around all morning, Tom and Dan spending a few too many minutes in Zonko's.
Minerva and Will had avoided the place; after all they had their reputations as Hogwarts Deputy Headmistress and a stuck up Malfoy to uphold.
A shame really, the other two came back grinning evilly, and Minerva was quite worried that she and Will were going to be test subjects for whatever they had bought.
After lunch they continued to wander, until three o'clock, when they went to the Three Broomsticks to meet Harry.
"You think Potter's gonna show up?" Will asked as they walked towards the pub.
Tom shrugged. "Probably not, he's got his own friends to worry about."
They stepped inside and walked towards the back, choosing a table as Will ordered drinks.
They waited. Then, after what had seemed like hours but really wasn't even five minutes, a familiar figure stepped towards them, carrying his Butterbeer.
******************************************************
Hogwarts, 1997
Hermione had joined them at breakfast not long after Harry had seen the quick exit of Minerva, Tom, Dan and Will. They ate, and headed into Hogsmeade, Ron still watching his back in case Dean wandered over.
Harry and Ron spent nearly two hours in Zonko's, and came out much poorer. Hermione had spent that time in Gladrags Wizard Wear with Pavarti and Lavender, each of them buying a whole new outfit.
They had eaten lunch in the Three Broomsticks, before splitting up. Hermione had rejoined Lavender (Pavarti and her sister Padma were on a double date with a couple of Ravenclaw boys) and they were going to just wander around. Ron was heading to the post office with Neville because they both had letters to send, Pig was sick and most of the school owls were busy.
Harry said that he was going to wander around, and maybe find Seamus and Dean. That had discouraged Ron from going with him.
He waited until three before removing the Glamour charm, and heading back to the Three Broomsticks.
He bought himself a Butterbeer and went to the corner, where he knew he would find his four friends.
The second he saw them he realized they had all (except Tom) changed their appearances to look 25 as Tom and himself did.
He walked over to them, put down his drink and sat in the empty chair before speaking. "Hey guys, did you miss me?"
Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'd call that a Cliffy, I believe.
