Following Professor McGonagal through the myrad af corridors, Harry tried to memorize the way that they were going. 'Okay, past the portrait of the guy in the jestor outfit, and the one in a--PUMPKIN SUIT?? Who are these guys? At least I'll know my way around. Just follow the crazy paintings.' Finally McGonagal stopped in front of a large statue of a dragon with an alcove to it's right.
"Lunar Eclipse." McGonagal said and Harry watched in amazement as the dragon came to life. Uncurling itself from the slight ball it was in, it spread its wings and sauntered arrogantly into the alcove placed next to it. ((A/N: Now, who does that remind you of?? heehee...)) Behind where the dragon had been, the floor started to drop down into stairs that led to another door, which also needed a password.
Seeing that Harry was just standing there gaping like a fish, the professor shook her head and propelled the boy in front of her down the stairs. Behind them, the dragon lazily slunk back to where it's original position was. In front of the door that had a nest of different serpents entwined together, McGonagal said the next password, "Solar Eclipse," and a huge common room was revealed.
A merrily lit fireplace took up most of the wall across from the door, flanked by a large bookshelf on either side. A circular depression in the middle of the room held two plump midnight blue couches, with matching chairs and a glass topped table to accompany them. Individual desks, most likely for studying, were placed in the corners opposite of the bookshelf wall, and two portraits adorned the walls joining the entrance wall and fireplace. One had a nest of baby gryphons guarded fiercely by a protective mother, and the other was a clutch of dragonettes guarded by an equally fierce mother dragon.
Coming out of said portrait at that moment was Draco and Professor Snape, who looked slightly startled that Harry and McGonagal were back so soon. The professors nodded at eachother, and McGonagal propelled the almost stagnate boy towards the family of gryphons.
"The password to your rooms is 'Sensei no baka.' I believe the Headmaster thinks you would like the meaning of that one." Once inside, Harry glanced around in awe. The room was absolutely huge, with a king-sized four-poster bed in the middle with dark grey curtain hangings and bed-clothes. On both sided were bedside tables with two drawers each, and there was a large oriental looking throw carpet spaning just over the length of the bed and on each side. 'At least my feet won't freeze right when I wake up,' Harry thought unabashed. A wardrobe adorned one wall, with a matching dresser, while a his beat-up trunk was placed on the opposite wall that also had a door. Ignoring McGonagal, Harry went over to the door and was shocked to see a bathroom almost the size of the Prefects', and noticed that it not only had a tub, but a separate stand-up shower. Coming back into the bedroom, he followed McGonagal back to the common room where Snape and Draco were talking.
~^v^~
Talking to Severus about nothing in particular was extremely nice, even if it did mean that Draco would have to stay relatively close to Hogwarts Golden Gryffindor, and Draco was not going to let his chance get away. He almost never got to speak to his godfather in a friendly matter during the summer. Right then they were talking about Quidditch when Harry and McGonagal entered from Harry's room.
Draco looked at the boy who he was going to be spending most of the summer as Severus stood up to talk briefly to McGonagal, before turning to the two boys.
"We will leave you both to your own devices until lunch, which be served in the Great Hall at noon. Professor Dumbledore wishes to speak to you both at that time." Severus said to the two and both of the teachers left through the common room door.
Green eyes met silver, and Draco was the first to look away. He stood up and went into his room to think about all that was going on. 'Grandpa Corren? Why is he coming here? I always thought he hated Hogwarts. His whole family went to Durmstrang. [A/N: I don't think I spelled that one right...]' He threw himself onto his bed and sighed. 'Well, might as well get a little nap before lunch.'
~^v^~
Meanwhile, Harry went into his own room and went over to his trunk. He looked inside and got out a few pieces of parchment as well as a quill and ink. Sitting down at the desk on his side of the common sroom, he started a letter to Hermione and one to Ron.
**Dear Hermione,
How are you doing this summer? I'm alright, mostly because I don't have to be with the Dursleys anymore. I'm staying at Hogwarts, although I wish I could have gone to Greece with you and Ron. Are you having a lot of fun? Not reading books, surely... just kidding. Anyway, have you read the Lord of the Rings yet? I still can't believe you had never read it before! I'm writing to Ron next, so I better finish this up. I'll see you at Diagon Alley for school shopping?
See ya soon,
Harry**
**Ron,
Hey, mate, how has your summer been so far? Sorry I haven't written you these last few weeks, but I couldn't. I wont be able to stay at your place this summer cause of reasons Dumbledore won't tell me. How is Greece? And you brothers? Are you and 'Mione finally together? Anyway, when are you all going to Diagon Alley to shop? Let me know so I can meet up with you and 'Mione!
See ya then,
Harry**
Sighing, Harry picked up both letters and headed to where Hedwig was waiting for him. "Bring these to Ron and Hermione, please, will you girl?" Hedwig nipped at his fingers, grasped the rolled up pieces of parchment in her foot, and flew out of the window. Looking at the clock, Harry saw that it was almost noon, and decided to start heading to lunch.
Out in the common room, Harry saw that Malfoy hadn't come out of his room yet. His coat thing was still on one of the couches. 'Why does Malfoy have a coat in the middle of summer?' Deciding that it was getting rather close to lunch, and he didn't fancy a jaunt past all of the strange portraits alone, he went over to the dragon nest and politely asked the mother to see if Malfoy would come out. The dragon looked at him before flapping her wings once and flying out of the portrait. A few seconds later she was perched once more beside her nest and the portrait opening.
"What do you want, Potter?" Draco asked, sounding tired. He looked like he just rolled out of bed.
"Umm... well, it is almost noon, and I didn't think you would want to be late when I saw your coat was still here." Harry said quietly while thinking, 'He looks kinda cute with his hair down, and not slicked back.'
"Yeah, thanks Potter, I lost track of time. I'll be out in a few minutes." Draco closed the portrait and yawned. 'Okay, maybe the nap wasn't such a good idea. now I'm even more tired that I was before.' He walked over to the mirror in his bathroom, and straightened out his hair. 'What a lovely wake-up call that was too.' he thought sarcastically. 'A dragon roaring in my ear. I'll get Potter for that one.' With that last thought and one more look into the mirror, Draco went to the common room and found Harry waiting for him.
~^v^~
After leaving the boys to their own devices, Severus headed back down to his private workroom. It was, contrary to popular rumour, quite large, clean and far away from the Potions' classroom. Who knows what mistakes could happen in the classroom and he didn't want anything to contaminate his own privatee work.
Walking through the hall, a slight glowing down one of the halls connecting to the one he was walking in caught his eye. 'What is that?' he thought, pulling out his wand. You could never be too careful these days. He glided down the hall until he came to a bunch of writing on the wall. Reading it carefully, he blanched.
When the true dark lord rises once more,
The heir of the Myutsomuii shall help,
The warrior of Artemis.
Two hearts become one,
Old strifes shall mend,
In order for there to be survival.
However, ignorance of this
Shall be had by these two,
And in nature shall they come together.
The words started to dissapear when Severus finished, and he read it quickly a few more times, memorizing it by heart. 'Albus has to be told right away,' he thought, turning down the hall and racing towards the headmasters office, the prophesy running through his head.
TBC...
~^v^~
Sensei no Baka - pretty much means 'Idiot Teacher,' or 'Stupid Teacher.' Hey, thats the first thing that popped into my head, and thats usually what I think about most of my teachers anyway, so I figured why not? Oh, and no, they will not know Japanese like this, but Harry might just be curious enough to look it up. You never know, I don't even know...
NOTE: I'm extremely sorry this took so long to come out. Basically I wrote the last chapter without looking at my notes, so it completely messed me up. I've had to re-write somethings in my notes and then one of those blasted writers blocks came up. yeah, it sucked. Anyway, sorry about spelling mistakes, cause i don't have spell check on my computer. (not even microsoft word!) It is usually hard to catch your own mistakes, at least it is for me.
The next one will be out much quicker! I hope... School is starting again in a few weeks, so time might be pressed. I work well under pressure... Once again, I am SO sorry about the wait. And yes, I have read OotP, but some of the events in this will not coincide with the book. Mainly one big part, if you know what I mean...
To my reviewers!
angel- here it is! I'm glad you like it!!
Lady Phoenix Slytherin- I know, finally updated!
KC- Here you go!
Nabiki- Think of it this way, you have two of the mauraders, one son of a maurader, and one person who is rumoured to be worse than the original mauraders... Lots of fun ahead!
Silver Angel7- yeah, pretty much, it is a mask of sorts. He hides his true emotions and pain that way when he is depressed.
I Dream2- Like I said in my notes, I don't have spellcheck on my computer, but i try to fix all my mistaked when i read through it. Sorry.
Aurora_Angel- You don't need to give advice, just reviewing is great!!
