            Harry instantly pulled out his wand ready to do anything to Malfoy if he didn't let his godfather go.  "Harry, no, don't!" Hermione cried.  But it was too late.  Harry had already put a stunning spell on Malfoy and he fell to the ground face first.  Just then, Professor McGonagall came rushing over to the commotion, a very stern and angry look on her face.  She looked at Harry's wand then at Malfoy who was face down in a pool of his own blood.  "Potter, my office! NOW!"  She was furious and the way her hair stood up, Harry knew he wouldn't get off the hook this time.  Hermione was about to undo the spell when Malfoy suddenly got up!  She looked behind her and saw Crabbe and Goyle all laughing hysterically.  Malfoy untied the dog and he ran away full speed whimpering.  "Come on Granger.  I thought you would have known better, that was not Harry's godfather.  Besides, this dog was too clean to be him anyway!"  Malfoy said looking up and down Hermione in his ever most, ever popular, famous flirtatious tone.

            "WHY YOU DIRTY, NO GOOD, PRAT!  WHAT KIND OF JOKE WAS THAT!  YOU, YOU-"

            Harry had heard all this from behind him and now the anger was boiling up inside him.  'It was all a joke.  A joke!"

            "Come on Mione, just leave him."  Ron started.

            "Yea, Mione, you wouldn't wanna get hurt!"  Malfoy said in a singsong mimicking voice.  "Face it Weasley.  You know nothing about protection.  First of all you wouldn't have been friends with Potter and so she could be the safest she can, you'd hand Mione to me."  He continued pulling Hermione's arm toward him.

            "UGHH!! YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING, SON OF A-"

            "MIONE! Stop. Let's just go.  Alright?"  Ron stopped her by grabbing on to her waist so she wouldn't go beat Malfoy to a pulp, although, he thought 'I would have very much liked her, er, it.' 

   

Back in the common room, everyone was sitting glumly.  The sorting, as usual, was very interesting after listening to the words that the sorting hat had once again changed.  The phrase that caught Harry's ear was still lingering in his head.  Tis the year your loved one comes near, so be prepared, you'll be in for a scare.  What did it mean?  Harry had no idea.  Why was it so haunting to him?  He still had no idea.  Hermione still had on a face that would scare away a giant.  She was too furious knowing that Malfoy wanted her.  Ron, on the other hand, was getting too tired of listening to nothing so he decided to perk up a conversation.  "Ey, Harry, did you know we have a class one fighter in this very own Gryffindor house?"

"Shut up Ron." Hermione mumbled.

"I can't hear you, what did you say?  Son of a what?"  Ron was now teasing her and she was becoming red to the cheeks.  Ron and Harry both erupted with laughter.

"I didn't mean that, I was going to say 'son of a death eater'.  After all, isn't that what he is?"

"Yea, yea," Ron said in-between laughs.  "So, mate, how did McGonagall treat you this time?  Some ice cream, maybe some chocolate frogs?"  Ron was now rolling on the floor with laughter.

"150 points from Gryffindor." Harry mumbled.  Now Ron stopped rolling around and stared at Harry with an open mouth.

"I told you.  You should have never taken out your wand.  You could have just let me untie that poor old dog."  At this, she closed the book on her lap and started up the stairs to the girls' dormitory.  Before she could leave, Harry added quietly:  "And I'm back to Occulomency [ is that how to spell it??? ] with Snape."  Hermione stopped dead in her tracks.  "Harry, you're not having any more dreams, are you?"  she said with concern.

"No.  Dumbledore said it's just a good way to help me stop my anger and in case he did become even more powerful,  I wouldn't be able to leak out any information to him."

"Dumbledore did not say that!  Well, at least that way.  He just wants to keep you safe Harry.  So another accident like last year wouldn't happen."  Hermione said soothingly.

"See? That's what I'm saying!  He knew I was having dreams, that's why he tricked me!"  Harry stormed up to the dorm without saying another word.  Now, he had another worry on his mind, tomorrow, he would start taking more extra classes with Snape.  He would never be able to talk to Sirius now, wherever he was!
