I'm sorry its taken me so long! I'm trying to write faster! I haven't finished this chapter yet...I just am going to put what I've written so far on. Thanks for your reviews...I think its great the way you offer me advise, I'm trying to incorporate it into my work, I am only an 'amateur'(I quote) so this is basically my level I think. Thanks to all my reviewers and I hope you will continue to read my story as I write it, but as I said on my starter page I am really busy with IS4 (year 11 in England) and I've got end of year tests coming up so wish me luck. By the way good luck Stéph for your IB2 exams! And thank you again.

Harry sat down on the wet grass next to Hermione and Ron frowning at their failure of finding the glass globe. 'What are we going to do now?' asked Hermione. Harry had tried to explain everything that he could remember about the night in the Death-Eaters castle so that they could understand how important the globe was.

'I dunno, 'Mione.'

'Are you sure that this is what Voldemort- Oh Ron, grow up- is after?'

'Well they definitely didn't want me to have it. I seem to get everything they want don't I? The philosophers stone, the prophecy and now this... they are just too damn stupid, you'd think that after loosing the other stuff they would protect the globe better.'

'Yeah, you must be a magnet for You-Know-Who's tools.' Ron winked at Harry.

'More like a....ahhhhhhhh!' All three of them jumped as a giant tentacle reached out from the water and slithered before Harry's feet like a snake.

'What the..?' Harry reached forward and to look at the tentacle, his mouth hung open in disbelief. Slowly he picked up the small glass globe from the Squid's slimy tentacle and held it up for Ron and Hermione to see. As soon as the globe was taken the tentacle slithered back into the depths of the lake unperturbed.

'That was so strange.' Ron's mouth was still open in shock.

'Well then...that was, erm, interesting. I've never seen the squid do anything like that before.' Hermione took the globe and dried it off on her cloak. 'I wonder how it knew we were looking for it.'

'It must have seen it was mine or something when I came out of the lake.' Harry suggested.

'How could it do that if it was in the middle of the night, it is smaller than a snitch and you were thrown out of the lake?' Hermione looked at the globe and ran her fingers over its smooth surface and then continued 'and how would it not break? Maybe it has an unbreakable charm on it.' She added thoughtfully.

'I dunno Mione.' Harry shook his head 'it doesn't really matter anyway does it? I mean, I've got it back I don't think it matters how the squid found it.'

'Yes, I suppose your right...but still it wouldn't have hurt to work it out.' Hermione went back to examining the globe 'I think that you ought to go to Dumbledore, he will know what it is and what we should do. I will look in 'Rare magical objects and their uses.' To see if I can find anything.'

'Are you sure you-know-who really wants this? I mean will he come to Hogwarts to get it?' Ron looked around as though he expected Voldemort to come running out of the forest towards them.

'Come to Hogwarts? Don't be so stupid Ron, do you think that Voldemort will just stroll into Hogwarts when the only person that he truly fears is the headmaster, I think not.' Hermione said whilst frowning at Ron, wondering if he had any brains under that thick mat of ginger hair.

'Well sorry but I am just trying to...' Ron started.

'Oh fucking hell not again. You two just go on at each other all the bloody time, it is really starting to annoy me!' Harry picked up his bag, snatched the globe from Hermione's grasp and walked back to the castle. 'Doesn't matter what the bloody situation is it always ends in those two fighting. Why cant the get it over with and just shag each other.'

'Talking to yourself pot-head? You know that cant be a good sign, even in the wizarding world.' Drawled Draco's voice from the top of the steps.

'Oh its you Malfoy...don't you ever fuck off? Or did you get bored with your thick friends and decide to come and make stupid remarks at me?'

'I do fuck off, but generally in the shower.' Draco sneered 'but not with my "thick" friends, apart from Pansy, she always livens up the show'

Harry noticed how he didn't even blush at this statement.

'Right...anyway Malfoy you happen to be in my way so move.' Harry walked past Malfoy and felt a hand brush up against his arse. Harry shivered at his touch but managed to hide it from Draco 'what the fuck? Don't put your hands on my arse you stupid git, I don't know where they've been.'

'Sorry you paranoid shit-head, I didn't do it on purpose, why the hell would I touch you of my own free will?'

Harry didn't even bother to say something back, but just walked through the doors into the castle.

Harry could feel the warmth spreading from his toes upwards as he was greeted by a furious fire in the Griffindor common room. He sunk into one of old, comfy chairs that surrounded the fire and let the heat sweep over him. Harry had a strange sensation that someone was watching him. he looked around the deserted common room and then fell back into his chair, ignoring the feeling. Harry looked into the fire, half expecting to see Sirius's head to pop out and for him to have his magnificent smile that lit his face. But Sirius did not come, Harry leaned over to the fire as if to look for Sirius amidst the flames. He once again picked up his bag and walked away from the fire with tears burning in his emerald eyes. The dormitories were deserted when Harry entered. Wondering why no one was here he looked at his newly repaired watch that had once belonged to Sirius and saw to his horror that he was thirty minutes late for potions. He quickly change into a new set of robes, slung his bag over his aching shoulder and then ran out of the Griffindor tower making the fat lady protest about how students treat her with no respect for her well being. As he stepped into the cold dungeon he heard the familiar sound of Snape's drawling voice and the hiss of bubbling cauldrons and then...

'Potter, how dare you come into my lesson so late, detention and twenty points from Griffindor. Now take a seat and get on with your potion.'

Harry started to move towards Ron and Hermione who were looking at him cautiously but waving for him to sit next to them. 'Ahh, Mr Potter I think I see an available seat next to Mr Malfoy over there. Quickly now sit down, do not disturb my class anymore or it will be a weeks detention.'

Grudgingly Harry walked over and sat down next to Draco. Harry swung his bag off his shoulder and onto the floor, brushing Malfoy's thigh accidentally.

'Oooh, on touching terms now are we Potter?' Draco sneered 'Next we'll be fucking and I will be calling you Harry!'

Crabbe and Goyle laughed at Malfoys joke and then gave Harry threatening stares as if to say 'Touch him again and you'll die.'

'Fuck off Malfoy.'

'Mr Potter, I wish you to not use that type of language in my class, even though I know how difficult it is for you to control your tongue, in any circumstance.' Snape narrowed his eyes and Harry knew he was remembering the memory that was running through Harry's own mind at that very moment.
Snape had once caught Harry and Cho making out in the store cupboard on the third floor. He had given both of them detentions for a week and taken off a shit load of house points from both houses, but mostly from Griffindor.

'What's this Potter, something I should know about?' Draco grinned 'Got anything to do with Cho, because from what I heard you fucked then broke it off, is this true pot-head?'

'If you did not hear last time you pathetic inbred I said fuck off!'

'Mr Potter that will be detention tonight and tomorrow I think.' Snape smirked.

'But sir...'

'No excuses Potter.' Snape sneered at Harry and then stalked off to go and torment the other Griffindors. 'Go and get the potion Har.. Potter, be quick, we need to add the caterpillar when it turns turquoise.'

'You get the potion, I'm not your slave.' Harry said

'Oh and wouldn't I enjoy it if you were... now just go and get it before you fail us both.'

'Fine, it will be like a breath of fresh air getting away from you, even if it is only for a minute.'

'Watch yourself Harry, you're so sharp, you might cut yourself.' Harry glared at him and walked off.
