Harry Potter and the Secrecy Within
I do realize that I did not include the Great Feast in the first chapter and there is a reason for it but I will hold that off until later.
Chapter 2: The Unknown
As Hermione stalked off towards the girls dorm she heard Harry shouting counter curses to the curse she just hurled at Ron.
"What was that," Ron gasped, "She just broke like 12 rules."
"I don't know Ron, maybe shes just been overly stressed, like all the stress she's had since First year has finally caught up with her."
"Weird most definately weird."
Hermione reached the fifth girls dorm and suddenly collapsed at the door. Ron and Harry heard the loud thud as Hemione hit the floor. They both rushed towards the girls staircase and it immediately collapsed into a slippery ramp that could not be walked up.
Ron swore under his breath and Harry performed the "Wingardium Levosia" charm on himself and floated above the ramp up the girls staircase. He found Hermione rolled up in a ball by the fifth years dorm.
She looked up into Harry's eyes and just from the look on her face clearly shown that she had no idea where she was or what ust happened.
Forgetting that he still held the "Wingardium Levosia" charm on himself he used it on Hermione and he slid down the stair hitting Hermiones head on the wall twice trying to maintain his hold on her with the charm.
Ron had his wand drawn as Harry glided down the staircase with Hermione in tow.
"Hermione what's wrong? What happened?" Ron managed to spew out over his rising emotions.
At that same moment Ginny came skipping down the girls stairs happy as could be until she saw Harry and Ron milling over Hermione.
"Oh.......," Ginny gasped, "What in the world happened?" She noticed Hermione had a swollen knee and was bleeding from the head.
Harry conjured a strecher, levitated it, and ran as fats as he could with it to the hospital wing.
"My Merlin, what happened to this girl?," Madame Pomfrey shreeked.
"We don't know, she collapsed on the girls stairs in the tower," Harry said.
"You never do bring good news Mr. Potter."
"Sorry," Harry tried with a weak smile.
"She's not too bad but she'll need to spend the night."
"May we stay," Ron asked eagerly.
"Not tonight you two should be getting back to your tower it's almost curfew."
"Alright, but we'll be here tomorrow as early as possible." Ron said as he looked at Hermione one last time before Madame Pomfrey shut the curtain surrounding Hermiones bed.
"What was that all about?" Harry asked Ron as they entered through the portrait hole after giving the Fat Lady the password, Orange Pops.
"What are you talking about?" Ron said blushing slightly.
" 'May we stay' please madame Pomfrey we'll be quiet, just intil she wakes up." Harry said mocking Ron.
Ron walked up the stairs quietly followed by Harry and finally when they reached the fifth years room Ron walked over to his four-poster bed and threw one of his bed pillows at Harry.
"Hey...." Harry shouted.
"Go to bed." Interupted Ron.
"Fine but we'll settle this in the morning," joked Harry.
The next morning when Harry woke Ron was not in the room nor in the common room. Hermione was there how ever and she told Harry the same thing she said she told Ron that she was not ready to answer questions. Harry told eher that was fine with him and that she could tell him if and when she was ever ready. Hermione and Harry climbed out of the portrait hole and walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Hermione spotted Ron at on end of the Gryffindor table piling his plate high with sausage and eggs.
"Hi," Ron spewed through a mouthful of toast and orange juice.
"Hi." Hermione said cheerful but that was all she said until a conversation was started by Neville ten minutes later.
Ginny arrived right when Neville started talking about his toad, Trevor. Ginny nearly spewwed orange juice half way across the Great Hall when she over heard Neville say that he wanted to take Ginny on a private walk later that day to the edge of the Quidditch field and maybe talk under the bleachers. Ginny blushed a color close to that of fushia when she heard Neville mention the bleachers, where everyone knew anyone that was a couple made out nearly every night.
Harry also over heard Neville saying this and felt and angry pull from the pit of his stomache and mumbled under his breath, wand pointed at Neville, and said the words he thought would never come across his lips for a fellow Gryffindor "Accio wand" and Neville wand slipped from his robes without him knowing.
"Great," Harry thought when he reaches for his wand he will find nothign and get "F's" for all of his classes to day and he won't be able to open the private section under the bleachers known to the students as "Make out central. I'll leave it on his pillow for tonight maybe he'll get the point that he is not to be with Ginny."
Harry slid quietly from the boring conversation of the Gryffindor table to the Head table to speak with Hagrid. Hagrid was done with his breakfast also and invited Harry to come down to his hut to see the new creatures he got for their next Care of magical Creatures class.
"Hagrid!!!" Harry stampered as he walked into the pen behind Hagrids hut. "Don't you remeber what happened last time we had hippogrifs in class?"
"Now 'Arry Malfoy will not be in my class today. He caused enough trouble last time I 'ad one and this time 'i'll be no different."
"What do you mean Malfoy won't be in class today?"
"I made sure 'e would be kept busy with Flinch today 'e was given detention for an "overdue" library book that was taken out in 'is third year. And plus 'Arry it's not a 'ippogrifs it's an Unknown."
"Thats the name of it: Unknown?"
"Ya bet 'Arry. When it was discovered no one knew a thing about it until 15 years later and it got the name Unknown because no one knew anything about it."
"I see." Harry said still a little confused but disregarded it without a single care.
Harry saw the rest of his year coming up over the grass to Hagrids hut so he knew it was time for class.
"I forgot my book," Harry mumbled. Then his eyes lit up again. "Accio Care of Magic Creatures book." Harry bellowed.
In Gryffindor tower Harrys Care of magic Creatures book sturred and then raised off Harrys desk and out the fifth years window towards Hagrids hut. Harry raised his arm and caught the book with ease. Hagrid laughed and told Harry they didn't need their books today so Harry simply reversed the spell with a banishing charm he had learned in second year.
The rest of Harry's year showed up just after he banished the book.
Hermione and Ron were bickering as usual.
"Good things were back to normal," Harry though.
As Harry walked towards the pen again he felt a strange feeling overwhelm him the one that he felt only when he was in Treawnleys presence. He fell hard and fast to the ground. The Unknown saw this walked over and revieled its true form to Harry....a silver stag just like Harrys patronus.
