Author Notes: YAY!! I'm so close to my goal!! I just need 6 more reviews!! Only 6!!! I have three more days, since the first day of school is the 14th.. Hmm.. Anyway, Before I continue on with the story, I have to favors I want to ask from my favorite reviewers.. takes a deep breath

PLEASE READ MY TWO NEWEST FICS!!!!!!!!!

Author blinks Heh.. Yes, I've posted "Marhabah, Egypt!" and a partner fanfic to that one is "Bonjour, France!". You should read "Marhabah, Egypt!" first.. I guess. I don't know, it doesn't really matter as long as you read and review both!! PLEASE!!!! I was seriously working hard on those two, and I was hoping I could get some positive feedback on it. I need the reviews to fuel my writing sense!! I'm already experiencing bouts of writer's block, and I need the review medicine! (sigh how corny does that sound…)

So, please review it!! Pretty please?? Hehe.. Okay, I've begged and begged, and I'm sure you get the idea. I'll be eternally grateful if you review!!

He poked at the meat. Not caring that he was butchering it beyond recognition. He was busy thinking about what would happen tonight and when McGonagall would send him the letter about his detention.

"Drake.. You should really eat." Pansy cooed.

Draco narrowed his eyes at her. "You are not to tell me what I should or should not do."

"But Drake--"

"And stop calling me that! For crying out loud, do I look like a bloody plant? "

"W-well no.. but--"

"Then. Stop. Calling. Me. That."

Pansy was a bit miffed, having been treated like this from Draco for quite awhile. She turned her head, and focused her intentions on another unsuspecting Slytherin.

Draco huffed, and glared across the hall. Harry and his friends weren't there. 'They were gone the entire day.' he realized.

'Well, of course, how could you not have noticed?'

'Would you quit doing that?'

'Doing what?'

'Nevermind.'

'You know, Draco, your always so nasty. Is it that ugly girl, Pansy? I know should could put off a few but--'

'Maybe I'm nasty because I want to be. Or its just the way I am. If you don't like it, then stop bothering me!'

'Abso -bloody- lootely Not!'

'And why not?'

'Because I want to bug and annoy you till you chuck yourself off a cliff.'

"WHAT!?"

Silence.

"Oh shit," he muttered softly, "I said that out loud didn't I?"

Keeping a mask of indifference on his face, he acted as if it was absolutely normal to make crazy outbursts in the middle of dinner. The other Slytherins' eyed him warily.

"Would you stop staring, and eat!"

Their eyes immediately turned downcast or away, all not wanting to anger him. He sneered, but looked up when an owl flew down. He angrily took of the letter, and opened it.

Mr. Malfoy

You are to meet Hagrid outside at 9:00. I have spoken with him, and you will go alone to get the necessary herbs, since it will be on the outskirts of the Forest.

Hagrid will be in his hut if you need any help.

Your detention will be over, once you've filled the bag with herbs.

Professor. McGonagall

Still angry, he crumpled the letter and burned it at the table. Feeling especially vindictive, he forgot all about the strange voice and Harry. It was already 8:30, and he wasn't hungry at the moment, so he retired to his room.

"… so when Lucius threw the sock at Dobby, he became free. He tried to hex me, but Dobby had sent him flying down the stairs."

The other four stared at him stunned. Harry had given an unedited version of what happened, neither exaggerating or leaving anything out.

"Blimey.."

"He saved his memory in his diary?"

"Yeah."

"I can't believe my godson had to fight a Basilisk.."

"It wasn't that bad, Sirius.. Really.."

"It wasn't that bad!? A snake fang was plunged into your arm and all you can say was that it wasn't bad!?"

"It's in the past, Padfoot. Just forget about it."

Sigh. "Your right. It's just that I can't believe that really happened."

"Uh, guys? We've missed dinner!"

"Don't worry. Sirius and I will pay a visit to the kitchens and bring some food. You guys just stay here, the rest of the students are busy in the Great Hall. It won't take long."

Sirius transformed back, and followed Remus as he walked out. The three were left sitting on the couch, only the crackling of the fireplace made any noise. Ron turned to Harry, who was staring deeply into the fireplace, obviously lost in thought. Trying to lighten the mood, he leaned back putting his arms behind his head, feigning casualness.

"So, we have only two years left at Hogwarts. What do you think we'll do in the future when we leave Hogwarts."

Harry opened his mouth to automatically say, something along the lines of staying alive and defeating Voldemort, but he knew that wasn't a good way to lighten the mood. He shut his mouth, looking for an appropriate answer. Hermione glanced at both and spoke up, "I might become a professor here at Hogwarts."

"I'd like to try out for the Chudley Cannons!"

"Maybe I could become a professional Quidditch flyer.."

"I've talked with Fred and George. They're making loads with their new joke shop. I have a feeling though, that it wouldn't have happened if someone hadn't donated that money.." he eyed Harry.

Harry blushed but didn't meet Ron's eyes. He cleared his throat while looking at a painting above the fireplace, "So, uh, what do you think the others will become when they grow up?"

"Lavender will probably take Trelawney's job."

"Neville could take Herbology Professor."

"Seamus could probably be…"

"Drunk? Laid? Get some girl pregnant? Minister of Magic?"

"Ron!"

"Haha.."

"What about Colin? He absolutely adores Harry. Maybe he'll have a worldwide fan club--"

"Shut up!"

"Ron! I think Colin will do very good. If you've seen his pictures, he takes very good ones. Like remember our fourth year pictures? He had taken a large group picture of us and some others with Professor Snape."

"Ugh, I remember that. I don't even know how Colin got Snape to be in it."

"Actually, these pictures will good to have. Years from now, we can look back and say, 'oh there's Neville he became a teacher at Hogwarts."

"Hermione's right, Ron. You might say, 'oh there's Hermione she's also a teacher at Hogwarts.'"

"I wouldn't say that. I could say.. 'oh there's the teacher. He's dead.'"

Harry and Hermione erupted in laughs. Ron grinned at them innocently. Just then, Remus and Sirius walked in. They smiled to see the three laughing and joking. As if there was not a care in the world. Remus came in, levitating various trays and goblets before setting them on a table. There was small talk and more eating. Sirius had decided to eat, while he was a dog, ignoring the protesting from the rest. "If someone were to walk in while I was here, it wouldn't be smart." and had promptly transformed.

He looked at the clock. It read 8:55. Draco grumbled to himself, as he heaved himself off the bed, and changed into black robes. He walked out of the dorm and out the school. He approached Hagrid's large form, and followed the light emitting from the oil lamp Hagrid was carrying.

"A bit early, Malfoy. But you must want to get done quickly. I'm sure you know what knotgrass looks like, so I don't need to tell you that. Just fill this bag with it, leave it outside my hut, and your detention is over.."

Draco blinked. That was pretty easy. Nodding his acknowledgement, he set off, hearing Hagrid's door close behind him. He walked towards the Forest, quickly filling the bag. If he got down now, then he wouldn't have to worry about it after he met his father. Finding a large amount of them behind a tree, he conjured scissors and clipped a large amount off. The bag was fairly full by then, so he quickly ran and deposited at Hagrid's door.

'That only took five minutes. Probably couldn't think of anything for me to do.' he thought. Shaking his head, he lit his wand and walked along the forest. His father said outside, but he couldn't possibly mean outside, anyone could just look out the window. 'He's testing me.' he realized. He narrowed his eyes with determination and walked inside. Walking along, he noticed his father standing in the middle of a small grove. His stance showed he was impatient.

"I'm here father." he called softly.

Lucius turned around, regarding his son. Nodding, he motioned Draco closer. "I've come here to deliver something very important." Lucius reached into his pocket, pulling out a thin black chain, with a silver snake on it. It's emerald eyes glittered in Draco's wand light. Draco glanced questioningly at his father.

Lucius raised the chain in front of himself, "Dissimulare" The chain glowed green, before it started to melt into something else. Draco watched, transfixed, as the evil looking chain turned into a golden chain, small golden rings linked together, the pendant was no longer a silver snake , but a phoenix with the same emerald eyes. The only reminder of what it was before.

"I want you to get this into Potter's possession. It doesn't matter how, but you will get it to him. The pendant will do what is needed, but you will make the Malfoy family proud if you accomplish this. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Father."

"Good."

Draco watched, as Lucius touch the ring on his fourth finger, and disappear. 'Must be a portkey.' he thought.

Turning around, he eyed the now innocent looking necklace. "What are you supposed to do?" he whispered to the necklace. The eyes flashed a moment, but otherwise remained unresponsive. Now Draco was faced with a problem. How could he do this? He gritted his teeth, 'I will find a way. I always do.'

Nodding to himself, he set off out the forest. He was unaware that astonishingly blue eyes, like pale sapphires, watched the entire transaction.

The Next Morning

Harry groaned, as he rolled over in his bed. He vaguely wondered how he had gotten into his bad, and had a brief flash of Sirius carrying and tucking him into bed before leaving. Groaning again, he realized that it was already 8:30 in the morning, and Care of Magical Creatures with the Slytherins was going to start. He shot up in his bed, and looked around, fully awake.

The night before, Sirius had shut all the curtains. So none of the sunlight was poring in. 'Ron must've told him about the sunlight thing. I haven't even told them about the whole potion thing. He's such a good friend.' Harry had expected his two best friends to start badgering him about what had happened. Fortunately, they seemed to have come with a mutual understand with Harry's uneasiness and never asked.

Harry got out of bed, and proceeded to wake everyone up. He himself, had changed quickly, and watched his friends looking for missing books and clothes. Remembering the vial in his pocket, he sneaked into the bathroom, applying it on his exposing skin. Satisfied, he pocketed it. He walked out, and laughed at Ron, who was wearing his shirt backwards.

After many scuffles, they were all finally dressed and ready, and managed to make it to the Hagrid's class in time.

Draco and his Slytherins were already waiting at Hagrid's hut. He glanced around, amused, to see the Slytherins first. The Gryffindors had come running across the lawn, being led by Harry, who was breathing quite hard. Hagrid smiled at them, and turned to the class. "Well, now that everyone's here. I'm here to show you all a Plimpy." A few sniggered at this. Hagrid ignored it. "Can anyone tell me what this is?"

Someone from Slytherin raised their hand. "The Plimpy is a kind of fish. It is shaped like a ball with two long, rubbery legs and webbed feet. If you happen to spot a Plimpy with its legs tied in a knot, you will know that Merpeople are around." Hagrid nodded and awarded five points to Slytherin. He motioned them towards the lake, pointing to one in the water. The class chattered about it, and took a few notes.

Draco looked around, everyone was standing copying notes, giving Draco ample time. The necklace was clutched tightly in one hand, while his other hand held a wand. He had a plan, a very risky plan, but it was the only thing he could come up with at a short notice. Slipping behind students, he watched, as Neville leaned dangerously close over the water. Lifting his wand, he muttered a small spell, "Agitare adiuvare!"

Neville let out a scream, his arms flailing in the air, as he fought to keep his balance. He let out a yell as he fell forward into the water. He came up, gasping for air, "HELP!! I CAN'T SWIM!!" The other students, immediately rushed up. Hermione tried to levitate him out of the water, but it wouldn't work. Draco grinned to himself, the spell prevented that until the caster took it off. Neville looked scared out of his wits, when he suddenly disappeared from the surface. A few girls screamed.

Hagrid sent one of the students for help, as others tried desperately, any spells that could aid Neville. No one was keen on jumping in the water, either not knowing how to swim, or to scared to follow. Harry broke from the crowd, going near the surface. Everyone quieted, and stared at him, as if expecting him to pull of some great feat. He looked back and forth from them, knowing that waiting for someone to help was not an option.

"Everyone stand back."

Hermione and Ron rushed forward, the minute everyone took a step back. "What are you going to do?" Harry looked back at them, he looked very sad. "Your still going to be my friends, even after this right?" Both Hermione and Ron exchanged bewildered glances but nodded frantically. Harry turned to the rest of the class, "I'm doing this to help Neville. So don't think.. Otherwise."

Draco stepped from behind the crowd, and watched, beside Crabbe, to see what Harry was going to do. 'All I need to do, is wait for Harry to rescue Neville. Then, I can finally get the necklace to him.'

Harry stepped towards the edge of the water. "Come forth!"

Hhhhhhhhiiiiiissssssss...
