Oh the embarrassment! My sister was looking at old tapes of when we were
children and there's this one of when her, me and my brother were all in
this play. I couldn't stop dancing along to a song! Not one of us could
stop laughing at me all the way through it! So to escape anything more I'm
now writing this, aren't you lucky ^__^

.:: Chapter Five ::.
In the Entrance Hall of Hogwarts school, students and teachers wandered carelessly about, making their way to different destinations on the Saturday morning.
The Headmaster walked out of the Great Hall and smiled as he greeted the minister for Magic and his wife.
"You're early Percy." Albus Dumbledore said as they walked around the grounds of the school.
"I know, but Penny wanted to see Hermione and I wanted to know how you were getting along with having Harry and Draco back in the castle."
"I won't say that it wasn't a shock. Suddenly Harry was there, grinning and fighting with Draco. I felt like we had gone back in time. But then the fight was more mature than they used to have." Albus paused.
"I know, they have matured quite a lot, but under it, you'll see their childhood selves, if you can say they ever had a childhood." Percy said.
"I owled Remus last night. I believe after the Order meeting he wishes to see Harry." Professor Dumbledore stopped and looked at Percy. "Do you believe that he'll see them? They've made no contact with anyone other than you."
"I don't know Albus. Harry has changed; he'll think his actions through. He's learnt much about the world and the laws of magic. He's created new potions, adapted old ones, created new spells, even a new method of teleportation. Every single task I've set him, he has documented in case he ever needs to recall a fact that may be so miniscule. He has however, become very closed off. Harry keeps his emotions and feelings to himself, I'm not sure if he does want to let anyone from his old life back into the present for fear of renewed pain." Percy finished his speech and the slowly continued their walk. After a pause, he asked, "And how is Severus reacting to Harry's return?"
Once again they stopped, "How did you know?"
"It's not an uncommon topic in that department. Although Harry is closed off to all, he'll be there as a friend and give love advice, he's rather good at it. Severus and Hermione are a topic that isn't necessarily avoided. I've been there when the boys have had everyone in hysterics because of something that Harry and Severus did or that Harry, Draco, Hermione and Ron did. But you're avoiding the question Albus," Percy smiled at the old man.
"Like Harry, Severus isn't one to disclose his feeling, but I don't think he expected to ever see Harry again. At least, not like that without any warning."
"I should have told you who was coming, I thought it would be a nice surprise, I didn't expect it to happen like that."
"Now, now, my dear boy. It was a nice surprise, after you got over the shock. There's no need to apologise." Albus paused. "How is it that Harry has been able to create all these things?"
"He's studied magic. Mixed things together, experimented. I think at one point he even had the muggles around to his and Dray's place to put of a fire that had gotten out of control because of it." Percy replied. "I am amazed but he refuses to tell me all, just in case the information falls into Voldemort's hands."
"Does he still have visions?" Albus asked.
"Yes, but they are combined with memories, of his parents death and the good times that he spent here. Sometimes we see an image from his time as head of department."
"You can see the visions?" Albus asked, confused.
"Yes, they are about a metre off the ground and that width and height. The things that I've seen," Percy paused, "I don't think I'd be alive if it were me who had to put up with it all."
"Well Harry does amaze us all, especially me." Albus smiled. "I'm glad to know that he's finally settled down. I wish I could see him and Severus together though, and Draco happy too. They have all been through a lot." He paused, "Do they wish to rejoin the Order of Phoenix?"
Percy hesitated. "I don't think it would be a good idea. In the last fight they fought against Voldemort, they somehow managed to join their magic together, because of that, they are extremely powerful. To cast a killing curse they would wipe out the whole continent with the magical backlash. Cast it at Voldemort and I believe that they would completely decimate the entire world."
Once again, the Headmaster stopped. "I believe they have done it again. I do not know what to say," he said softly.
"Don't think on it Albus. Even though they cannot that an active role in the war, Harry's connection with Voldemort is still active and we can get information from it. Besides, they have a rather useful spy working for them without the Dark Lord's ranks." Percy smiled. "I think he's a rather high one. The information that I pass on to the Order normally comes from them, and you've seen the attacks that we've put a stop to."
"And the name of this Death eater?" Albus asked.
"I'm afraid they won't tell me. After what happened to Charles Spurler and Severus, they believe the less who know about him the better it is to keep him a secret." Percy concluded. "Time for the meeting I believe Albus."
"Hmm, yes, let's go."
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
In the chambers of the shadow-police, each member was quietly doing their own thing.
Sarah was cooking. Whenever they were on a mission, she cooked and so they had no need for house-elves.
Kevin sat on the table, gazing out the window. //At least now we don't have to worry about Mikey being the rookie that he was. We can concentrate on the actual mission and not on his well being//
Jonesy was in the middle of the room, practicing with a sword. Quick fluid movements he made with the sword.
Draco was sat on a comfortable armchair. His legs folded underneath his body as he edited the first book that he and Harry had written together.
Harry was sat opposite Kevin. His feet on a chair, his left arm supporting his head. Harry had his eyes trained on a potion bubbling gently over a fire, but his mind was back to his own school days, the days living in the Gryffindor dormitories, days pranking the Slytherins and the times he spent with Severus.
In another corner of the room, there was a constant humming. Hundreds of monitors were busy showing all areas of the school, and their department office at the Ministry of Magic. There, the beeping began.
I-N-C-O-M-I-N-G---M-E-S-S-A-G-E
A figure appeared in front of all the technology. The person was clothed in black robes.
"Good Afternoon." He greeted.
"Afternoon," five voices chorused.
The figure looked amused, "And how does it feel to be back at Hogwarts?"
He laughed at the glares that he saw.
"How exactly do you know that we are back here?" Harry asked.
"Voldemort has a Death Eater situated there. I don't know any of the details, I've only just found out. All I know is that Voldemort now knows where you are and that you are still doing something active against him. I believe he has managed to create some kind of trap at Hogwarts."
"Good thing we're here then," Draco said bitterly.
"Anything else?" Jonesy asked.
"Nothing important but a few minor attacks planned."
"Don't tell us about them. We wouldn't want Voldie to get too suspicious that he might have a spy." Harry said.
"That's all I came to say."
"Ok, be careful." Harry said and the image faded.
Sighing Kevin looked back out the window. "Any ideas?"
"No, just remember to keep your eyes open for any signs of dark activity." Harry said.
"Do we think it's someone in the Order or someone just at school?" Sarah asked.
"I don't know. My gut instinct says someone in the Order, but we have to explore the possibility of everyone." Harry replied. "I'm going to Albus' office to wait for him. Tell me if anything else arises or you think you have a lead on the spy here."
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
As Harry passed through the Entrance Hall, he noticed a strange feeling sweep through his body. //Looks like Voldemort has got something planned here//
Using his senses, he pinpointed it to the Hogwarts shield, placed high above the doors to the Great Hall.
//:Dray, there's something funny in the Entrance Hall, can you get someone to check out the Hogwarts School symbol above the entrance to the Great Hall? :// Harry asked.
//: Will do ://
Walking languidly through the corridors, Harry paused as he passed a familiar corridor that few knew about and even fewer ever went through. Sighing he continued.
Before Harry was ready, the gargoyle guarding the entrance to Dumbledore's office was in front of him.
//Now what's the password// Harry thought to himself as he surveyed the statue.
"Feratrittra" he said and the staircase arose.
//Least he's worked out that the sweets passwords were too obvious//
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Harry waited about fifteen minutes for the Headmaster to return to his office.
"Harry," the Headmaster smiled at him, "it's been too long since I last saw you."
"I believe that the last time you saw me was the time you said that you thought it best if we never saw each other again," Harry replied quickly, sharper than he meant too.
Albus shifted uncomfortably, remembering what Percy had said about Harry always thinking things through. "Well, I was upset that you had led your friend into such danger."
"I think it best that we leave the subject," another sharp remark for Harry. //Why is it that everyone believed I was the one who led and wasn't the one following?//
Sighing wearily, Harry continued, "I believe that Voldemort has somehow managed to get a spy in your mists somewhere. I don't yet know who, just that there is one here."
"Did you get this from your spy?" Albus asked.
"Yes, but from the way he said it, I know that he wasn't lying, I hadn't told him that we were coming here and yet he knew that we were here. I trust him Albus."
"And do you trust me to know the name of the particular Death Eater?"
"I'm sorry, but like you try to get spies in his ranks, I worry that he could do the same, the less who know, the better." Harry said. "I'm concerned for his safety. Severus and Charles Spurler were lucky to get out alive. This one has a family and is highly regarded among the Death Eaters. He is an asset, but only because he can do his job freely. He doesn't pass on every bit of information as if he did, Voldemort would become suspicious and might spiked their drinks again with Veritaseurm."
"Very well."
Harry smiled, "I was wondering if you could give me a list of all the known entrances and exits of the castle, plus all the passwords to the castle, especially the ones of the common rooms."
"That would be my pleasure. You are here to do a job."
"Also, if it would be possible, we would like to search all the professors offices and private chambers," seeing the man about to protest, "I know it sounds like we don't trust them, but we've found that it's best if we can complete a completely thorough search of the place we're protecting."
"I suppose I can ask the staff members."
"Thank you Albus."
"I trust that it would be done with the utmost respect for the individual concerned."
"I wouldn't have it any other way." Harry paused. "we're here to help, not cause problems."
"I know, it's just their personal space that I don't think they'd approve of."
"We're not accusing them, just making sure that their rooms are safe and that no one can enter them." Harry explained.
"Is there anything else you need?" Albus asked.
"Not at the moment," Harry said.
"Will you be joining us for dinner?"
"I'm afraid not, we prefer to keep to ourselves. Easy to handle the job. Sarah's a good cook, we don't need the house-elves to bring us anything." Harry said.
"Well if you ever feel like a change, you are all welcome." Harry started to rise from his seat, "And Harry, if you ever need anything else, just come here and I'll be happy to help."
Harry smiled gratefully, "Thank you."
"I'll have the passwords sent down as soon as possible." Another smile.
As Harry walked towards the door, a knock sounded against the door from the other side.
"Come in." Albus said.
The door opened and Harry stopped dead.

Sorry, I love cliff hangers but you should be able to guess who is on the other side of the door. Leave a review to tell me who you think it is AND who you think the Death Eater is ^__^
Thank you's:
Potter-man ~ Like the small cliff-hanger?
Kahil ~ Hmmm, lovely Severus. I'd have to set my Harry and Draco on him so I didn't get hurt .
Jewelclaw Lady Of Wind ~ Sorry I took longer than last time in getting this one out, I was busy.
Artemis Le Faey ~ *hugs reviewer*
Lady Lightning ~ *grins*
Fage of Hyren ~ *blushes* Thanks for the comment about more reviews, it really made me smile ^v^
Skyler ~ Harry and Draco's 'relationship' was just something about nothing really. Just a girl that wouldn't leave him alone and so they pretended to be a couple. I can see them fighting just for the fun of it.
