Oh, you're actually still reading this eh? ::sniffs:: You actually *like* me! Anyway, second part below.
And as I forgot to put it up in the first part, "Harry Potter" and all the other chars are © to J.K. Rowling, unless something else is pointed out. This goes to the rest of the chaps too.

"We'll follow you," Hermione repeated, as Dumbledore never answered.
"You're gong to talk about Sourpu… I mean Snape, right am I, Harry?"
Dumbledore nodded, "You really don't have to, and it's just going to take a couple of minutes and…"
Hermione looked at him, "No, we want to follow you, don't we, Ron?"
"Sure… as long as we don't miss dinner…"
"Is food the only thing that you can think of?"
Dumbledore looked at Ron and Hermione with an amused look, "Children, children no need to fight," he said, for a second forgetting who they thought he was.
Both Hermione and Ron stared at him.
Oh my…
Luckily enough for Dumbledore, Pomfrey walked in, "Ah, you're awake already, I'll go and tell Dumbledore."
----------------------------------------------
"Headmaster?" Pomfrey called out as she walked into the room before Dumbledore's office.
Harry didn't realize that she was calling for him, he still wasn't used to the idea of being in his own headmaster's body.
"Albus?"
Harry looked finally up to the door, realizing that she was talking to him. He sat up in Dumbledore's chair and straitened himself, "Come in."
Pomfrey opened the door slowly, "Albus, you wanted me to tell you if something changed in Harry's current state…"
"Yes, Poppy?" Harry sighed out in relief, he was glad over that he'd been in Dumbledore's office some times before so he at least knew a bit how to behave.
"And, I just came here to tell you that Harry is now awake…"
"That's good… now I would like to speak with him, can you please send him here?" Harry didn't like the idea to walk over; first, he wanted to talk alone with whoever had his body. He wasn't sure, but it wasn't impossible that Dumbledore had his body. Secondly, if he had to walk out, and Dumbledore was not the one with his body, he couldn't get into the office again, since he didn't know the password.
Luckily, Pomfrey nodded, "I'll tell him that, and he should be here soon."
"Thank you, Poppy…"
And with that she walked out.
----------------------------------------------
Dumbledore, Ron and Hermione were on their way to Dumbledore's office, to talk with Dumbledore, well at least it was that Hermione and Ron thought.
On their way up to the office, Hermione didn't let go of Dumbledore's hand, has she held it rather tightly, Dumbledore stroke, with his free hand, some of the black untimely, hair that was for the moment occupying his head.
"You know, mate," Ron suddenly whispered into his ear, "I think that you should ask her out soon, I think she likes you…" Ron continued, glancing at Hermione, "after that you fainted, she couldn't stop worrying, and she even hoped for the classes to end!"
This was new, he'd already figured out that Miss Granger had feelings for Harry, how could he miss that, with that hug? But did Harry actually have feelings for her? That was news, even for him.
Dumbledore nodded shortly.
----------------------------------------------
Harry sat and waited with great impatience, as he finally heard a knock on the door, he almost shouted out 'come in', but to his great disbelief, it wasn't 'Harry' who walked in, rather more a scared Neville and Professor McGonagall.
"Ah… Mr. Longbottom, Pro… err… Minerva, what can I do for you?"
"Albus, Mr. Longbottom here wanted to talk to you about what happened in portions…"
Harry's mind suddenly turned into a maelstrom, should he tell Neville who he was? No, better not, not until he'd talked to Dumbledore.
Harry nodded and gestured Neville to sit, "Will you join us Minerva?"
"No, I just came to take the boy up," she simply answered before walking out the office.
"So, Mr. Longbottom, what did you want to talk about?"
"Sir… I-I… I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about that portion and that I'm sorry if it happened anything to Harry…"
"Ah, you can be calm… Ne… Mr. Longbottom, I just heard from Pom… Poppy that he's alright and on his way here…"
Neville nodded quietly.
"Now, was there something else you wanted to talk about?"
"No sir."
"Ah, then I'm sure that you want to go back and eat something, perhaps a cup of hot chocolate?"
Neville nodded and walked silently out of the office, almost knocking into Dumbledore.
"Sorry, Harry…"
"It's okay, Neville…"
Hermione knocked carefully on the door, "Professor Dumbledore?"
Harry felt relieved when he heard Hermione's voice; this would be hard though…
"Come in…"
First one to come in was Ron, second Hermione, who still held Dumbledore's hand tightly.
"Sir, you wanted to talk with me," Dumbledore said, not quite managing to hide his amusement.
Harry nodded, "Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger, please wait outside…" Harry shuddered, he *really* wasn't used to say either 'Mr. Weasley,' or 'Miss Granger'.
Both of them glanced at each other before looking at Dumbledore.
"Erm, yes… I need to talk alone with 'Professor Dumbledore'," Dumbledore answered, trying to hide a grin that was forming on his face.
Both Hermione and Ron nodded shortly before leaving. As they closed the door, Dumbledore pulled out his wand and put a silence spell onto the room.
"Sir?" Harry asked quietly.
Dumbledore smiled and nodded.
