Disclaimer: See chapter one.

Author's note: Wow I'm amazed there are so many people out there that want me to continue this story. A big Thank you to all that left a review and to the ones that are reading this Author's note. One more thing has anyone notice that Hagrid's speech has changed through out the books? Well anyway Hagrid's speech in this story is the same as in the first book (easier to read). Hope you like the chapter it's a nice long one, for my standards anyway.

It had been two weeks since Harry had saved Ron and Hermione. Life for him was starting to go back to normal or as normal as a wizard's life could be. Harry had woken up in the hospital wing a couple of hours after arriving there.

Every one had not asked questions about what had happened to him, which Harry was grateful for. It had been another week before he told Ron and Hermione what had happened (Sirius had received the story six days earlier by telling Harry he wasn't going to let him leave the hospital wing until he did).

Harry's nightmares were getting worse and he had become a common sight in the common room late at night. Not even Neville's snoring could lure him back to sleep. He was forced to go to Madam Pomfey about a sleeping potion. Madam Pomfey had given him a dreamless sleep potion however Harry never received that dreamless sleep promised, all it did was give him a headache for a week.

Harry now stood at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, his back to one of the trees, and watched as a small winged creature tried to attack Malfoy. Harry smirked as the little animal stuck forward its head on its long neck and snapped at Malfoy, making him jump back quickly. Ron was laughing hard beside him and Hermione was looking after their own little winged creature which was called a 'Nocantia', it looked a lot like a dragon except it had a longer neck, very sharp teeth and six legs. That was probably the reason Hagrid was giving Harry's class the lesson.

"Don't poke 'im with that stick Malfoy!" Hagrid bellowed over the class as he tried to help Lavender. Her little creature was turning a red colour while Lavender screamed about it eating her lipstick.

Harry watched as Malfoy grabbed a stick off the ground and tried to push the animal back with the piece of wood; it wasn't working. The nocantia lifted its head and a high pitched noise echoed over the grounds. All the students covered their ears, excepted Harry, who seemed to be the only one not effected by the noise.

"Stop!" Harry commanded. As soon as the words left his month he felt foolish. That however only lasted a second for the creature instantly clamped its mouth closed. Its pale eyes stared at Harry as it swung its head to look at him. Harry swore he could see respect in its eyes.

"Blimey that thing can scream," Ron exclaimed next to Harry. "I thought that my ear drums were going to burst."

"Would you look at Malfoy," Hermione cried trying to keep her laughter back and failing miserly.

Malfoy stumbled back from the small creature, falling over his own feet as if it was twelve feet tall, and not eight inches. Malfoy's face started to redden as the whole class screamed with laughter.

"What's the mater Malfoy to big for you to handle?" Ron yelled over to the fallen boy, as the class roared with laughter. Ron laughed harder and he was soon on the ground unable to stand. Harry smirked but didn't join in with the laughter. Malfoy's paled-eyed Nocantia was still looking at Harry as if expecting another command. Harry could feel more eyes on him and looked around and noticed that he was right, every Nocantia was looking at him with the same expression on their pointed faces. He couldn't stand their gaze he stumbled back a step, his eyes darting from one Nocantia to the next.

"You all right Harry?" Harry looked up to see Hagrid looking down at him. "You don' look so good."

"Fine, Hagrid. I'm fine." Harry lied. Looking up at his giant friend. "Just tired."

The laughter from the class had started to die down and Harry looked around to see all the little creatures had gone beck to their owners and were no longer looking at him.

"Yer still gettin' those nightmares?" Hagrid asked.

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Ron told me. Their worried about you, 'Arry"

Harry looked down at his feet unable to look Hagrid in the eye. His head shot up instantly when he felt a slap on the back. Ron stood next to him holding his shoulder for support, his friend was still laughing hard but that was an upgrade from not being able to stand.

"Bloody hell that was the funniest thing I've ever seen." Ron laughed then he noticed the serious looks on his friends' faces. "What's going on?"

"Nothing Ron." Harry told him.

"Oh blimey the class ended ten minutes ago." Ron exclaimed looking down at his old and battered watch.

"Righ', class put yer Nocantia's away an' head to yer next class." Hagrid bellowed over the class.

The class quickly packed the little creatures in their cages then headed up to the school. Ron, Hermione and Harry followed the rest of their class, but at a slower pace.

"Oh no." Ron exclaimed.

"What?" Harry and Hermione said at the same time.

"We have Divination." Ron groaned.

"You should have dropped it like I did." Hermione said in her best I-told-you-so voice.

The boys just slowed down their walking, which made Hermione frown at them.

"Being late won't change anything." Hermione told them angrily. Thinking that they would make her late for her class.

"Fine." Ron said and they walked at a normal pace up to the castle and their classes. Hermione kept shooting them dirty looks when they would slow their speed down and lag behind.

The intoxicating smell of Professor Trelawney's incense were starting to get to Harry and where pulling him into sleep. Only the memory of what greeted him in his mind kept him from falling asleep right there on the desk. Harry turned his head to look at Ron, his friend was saying something but the words weren't getting through to him, as if there was an invisible barrier between the two friends. Harry felt disconnected to the world, he could see Ron's lips moving but no sound was coming from him.

The whole room was silent not one sound came from anyone. Then a cruel and cold voice cut through the air. Harry's head came up with a snap and he looked around the classroom.

"What would you do?" The cold voice cut through Harry like a knife. "Would you be able to save them all."

The cold voice mocked and teased him, making Harry angrier by the minute.

"Show yourself." Harry mumbled. Looking into the many dark corners of the classroom. It seemed to Harry that the whole room was dark corners. "Where are you?"

"Where would the fun be if I showed you." Cruel laughter filled Harry's head as the rest of the class seemed not to notice anything out of the ordinary.

Harry swirled his head to the left where he believed he heard the voice come from. He saw something move, shadow on shadow. Fear ran thickly through his veins making his stomach flip and his hair stand on end. He couldn't move as he stared at the spot where he believed he could see something.

"Show yourself." Harry was close to shouting. The invisible barrier between him and the rest of the world broke like a sheet of glass, shattering at his feet. The class were staring at him, as he stood at his table his chair flung back. He stood there staring at the spot were he had believed he had heard Voldemort's voice come from. His heat beating fast and his breath coming in gasps. He turned and walked out of the room without a second glance. He needed to talk to the Griffin and he needed to see her now.
