Hey again. Thanks to Raven of the Night and Skyler who reviewed. Keep
'em coming. I just absolutely, totally love reviews!!!
Disclaimer: I can only wish that I owned the rights to Harry Potter cos then I'd have loads of money and I'd be able to write just for fun and not have to go to school, but alack I am not JK Rowling and therefore I do not owe anything but the plot so please don't sue. (Man could I be any more long winded?)

//: mental conversation between Harry and Draco ://
.:: Chapter Three ::.
"Great! We HAVE to go back! Most people think we're dead for Merlin's sake!" Draco fumed as he stormed into the Department of Security,
Four heads looked up at him and he turned on his friend. "How the HELL can you be soon calm about this?"
"Because Draco, we have a job to do and so we'll do that, as we always have done." Harry replied and then said, "It can be as bad as our worst case scenarios anyway."
The blond wizard just glared furiously at him and then took a seat at the round table where his fellow members of the department were seated, all four of them.
Harry spoke to them, "We have a new assignment. We're going back to Hogwarts." Jaws dropped all around them. "I know it's supposed to be impenetrable, but Percy wants it completely checked out, and added with our latest security gadgets."
Harry sighed, all four had been in their own schooling at Hogwarts when Draco and Hermione had been a couple. It was impossible to miss their break- up too. Draco had hoped that when the two of them had took on Voldemort the last time that it might bring her back to him if all she was scared about was the commitment and the struggles of the war. Harry was not so lucky. Severus had made it clear afterwards that it was a completely stupid thing to do. When Harry had needed him the most, Severus had followed Hermione's example and broke off their secret relationship that no-one but himself, Severus, Draco and Albus knew about.
"We are to arrive there are six o'clock and by tomorrow noon, I want to have found that the sky, the lake and the Forbidden Forest have been completely covered. I'm going into the forest with Draco."
"Sarah and I'll take to the water." Kevin said.
"Leaving Mikey and me the sky," Jonesy concluded.
"Good that's settled. From what I can gather we'll be there until at least Christmas." Harry said.
"We need all the standard gear ready for the port-key and made sure that it works this time." Draco said and they all burst into laughter.
"Draco you're such a fool, I can't believe we trekked all the way into the heart of the African jungle and then found out the equipment didn't work!" Sarah grinned at him.
"It wasn't my fault!" Draco defended himself.
"It never is." Jonesy smiled. Draco pouted.
The group separated and went about the different tasks for their arrival at Hogwarts.
Harry found himself at his desk, sorting out the necessary paper work from their last mission and the newest one. The fire sparked and Percy Weasley's head appeared. "Harry, I need a word."
Sighing Harry walked out of his office and into Percy's, not bothering to knock.
A raised eye-brow. "Come off it Perce, I knew there was no one other than you in here. I'm under enough stress as it is."
A Sigh from the Minister, "And I must add more to your stress load." Harry stayed silent and waited for his friend to continue. "There's been a report of a Chimera pack rampaging through the Isle of White, accompanied by a group of wizards. I need some of your team there to stop it."
"You do realise that it will cause me to take some of my team of the Hogwarts case. Jonesy and Mikey can get to Hogwarts tonight while the other three and myself deal with all the paperwork and rubbish that the Ministry insists on having." Harry said and received a nod.
"Ok, I'll inform Albus of the slight change of plan. Will you and the rest of the team be there tomorrow? For breakfast perhaps?"
"We'll be there, but we'll be working." Harry smiled. He walked towards the door and then turned, "Don't try anything with me or Dray, we don't need any more complications in our lives. This assignment has already enough of them." Percy nodded and Harry returned to his department and informed them of the new plan.

"So how do you feel about returning?" Harry asked the only female on his team.
"Nervous. I left Hogwarts knowing I was an outcast Ravenclaw and I'll return knowing that I'm a member of the shadow police." Sarah said.
"Yes, a very important member of the shadow-police." Draco grinned on her other said. "So what about you Kevin? Nervous too?"
"Of course, everyone knows about that crush I developed on Professor Vector."
"Well you should be in luck, you left school seven years ago and so no one'll be there that knows about it, least the students won't know about it." Harry tried to console his friend.
"And what about you two?" Kevin asked.
"Hermione may be a teacher, she may be engaged to Victor Krum, but I know that I have great friends who stand by me through the ice and the fire." He paused, "Literally." They all remembered that incident.
"Severus and I are over, I know that. I know that I still love but I also know that I always will, I just have to accept the fact that he couldn't stand to be with me as much as I wanted him. Voldemort was just a stupid excuse to leave me." Harry said bitterly.
"I wonder how everyone will react to seeing us again." Sarah said.
"Harry and I are practically dead to everyone. No one really believes we're still alive." Draco said.
"Yep, we're dead but still kicking." Harry grinned.
"The Lives of the Living Dead, I present to you Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy!" Kevin made a silly movement with his hands.
"Well at least we're not the Undead." Draco grinned.
"Course not." Sarah said.
"Watch out, Chimera ahead." Harry warned.
So that's the end of this chapter, remember to REVIEW peeps!
