Chapter 21- Getting Help
"This is going to be hard for me to tell you but I will do it," said Hazel.
Harry listen as Hazel replayed everything that had happened from the time she left the
Great Hall after the sorting to the present.
Harry felt so bad that he didn't know what was happening when it was happening. After
Hazel was finished she looked into Harry's eyes to make sure she could still she love in
them.
"That dream was really odd." said Harry finally. "You know I could never do such a
thing."
"Yes I know you wouldn't but having Malfoy on top of me when I can't do anything
about it is the worst thing I've ever experienced," Hazel said still holding her breath.
By now Ron was stirring in his bed.
"Oy, Harry you awake?" asked Ron groggily.
"Yeah " answered Harry then he turned back around to talk to Hazel. "OK this is what we
are going to do. You are going to go back down to your room, get dressed for class and
then meet me in the Great Hall. I will talk to Hermione to see if there is anyway you can
get put in a different house but in the mean time take this with you everywhere you go. If
Malfoy even gets a little closer then you like spray this is his eyes," said Harry and he
handed Hazel some Mace that Hermione had gotten Ginny. Then Ron took it as a joke and made Harry hide it so Ginny wouldn't yell at him. "She would kill me but oh not the famous Harry Potter," said Ron the night he made Harry take it.
"You'd better go before some of the others wake up," said Harry.
Hazel crawled out of Harry's bed and was greeted by a very white faced Ron.
"Hi Ron!" she said in her cheery tone.
Ron's mouth was hanging open and he could only wave. Then Harry came out.
"Now remember what I told you."said Harry and he kissed her. "Everything will be all
right." Hazel smiled and then tip toed her way out of the Gryffindor common room and
headed down to the dungeons.
"What was that?!" asked Ron after Hazel left.
"Ron its not what you think," said Harry as he just realized Ron was still there.
"Oh you have no idea what I think," said Ron.
"Look, she came in here in the middle of the night and I can't tell you all of it but I can tell you Malfoy's a dead man," said Harry with anger in his eyes that Ron had never seen
before. "I have to go see Hermione," he said as he changed into his Gryffindor robes.
Hermione had just arrived in the common room when Harry walked in.
"Hermione she told me everything," said Harry.
"What?" asked Hermione sleepily.
"Hazel, she came in my room last night crying and this morning she told me all of what
Malfoy had done. She just left a couple of minutes ago," he said setting down.
Hermione was now awake. "Well what are we going to do now?" she asked.
"We are going to see if Dumbledore will switch Hazel's house," said Harry.
"Harry he wont. It clearly states in "Hogwarts:A History" that no student may change
houses once the sorting hat puts them in their right house," said Hermione.
"But Hazel's not a Slytherin!" yelled Harry.
Hermione set there for awhile. She knew Harry didn't want to hear the truth.
"Well what can it hurt. Let's go to Dumbledore," she said at last.
Harry's face light up. "So you have a plan?" he asked.
"No but we are still going to try," said Hermione with a sigh.
Harry and Hermione walked to Dumbledore's office.
"Peppermint cream," said Harry and the Gargoyle let them in.
"Ah Harry, Hermione I was just about to go see you," said Dumbledore in his usual bright tone but this time it was clouded with a little sadness.
"What did you need?" asked Hermione.
"Well it seems Draco's dad has come out of hiding. He was spotted in Knockturn Alley
last night," said Dumbledore.
"Professor speaking of Malfoy. He has been doing something really bad to a fellow house
student," said Harry.
"Oh?" said Dumbledore. "Could this person be Miss. Holiday?" he asked.
"Yes, how did you know?" asked Hermione.
"Well I have been watching her and I noticed some bruises on her face and while lunch
was going on she was at Hagrids," said Dumbledore.
"Well we were wondering if you could place her in a different house?" asked Harry.
"Sadly I can not," said Dumbledore looking truly sorry. "The hat put her in that house for a reason."
"But she don't act like a Slytherin. She not mean, she don't have any friends in there and
Malfoy can attack her anytime he wants to," said Harry a little bit louder then he meant to.
"Harry I understand your pain but I can't take her out of that house. How ever, there are
ways around that," said Dumbledore.
Harry and Hermione looked at him confused.
"This is going to be hard for me to tell you but I will do it," said Hazel.
