A/N – It's short again, but I felt that it was a good place to stop. I know that they're often short, but I update a lot. A lot more than most people do, so please, you don't have to tell me that they're short. I know that they are. That's just something I wanted to mention. And no offense meant.

Draco followed Harry's advice. Almost as soon as he had left, the Prince of Slytherin lay on his bed in a deep sleep, blond hair covering his eyes.
He awoke, startled by a cat. The cat had firmly planted itself on Draco's chest, claws digging into his warm flesh. He pulled the cat away and dropped it on the floor.
He stretched and checked his watch. It was seven o'clock.
He slowly got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. He started up a shower and waited for the water to heat up. He took that time to undress. He showered quickly and then got dressed and walked down to dinner. He finished eating hastily, then hurried up to the Transfiguration class. He only had a few minutes left.
Harry was already waiting in front of the classroom. He had actually gone up there as soon as he left Draco. To Harry's left was a portrait which Draco always passed, but never noticed. As he approached, he saw that Harry was carefully examining the frame. He walked up to Harry quietly and watched what the Gryffindor did before alerting him of his arrival.
"Harry."
"There's a passage through here, however, I can't get the password, regardless of what I've tried. So, I'm guessing to get in, there's something in the portrait, like in the kitchens." Harry explained. "A little further into the passage, there's a room, but it's been blocked off. We can easily get rid of them with our wands however. It shouldn't be too hard."
Harry faced Draco.
Draco took a moment to register all this, then nodded.
"Any ideas on how to get past this?"
"A spell Hermione taught me. It unlocks a secret of something, as long as it isn't a living creature."
"Right..." Draco answered, a little confused, but still on track. "Well, go for it."
Harry nodded and stepped directly in front of the portrait, a couple feet away from its surface. He took his wand out of his back pocket and aimed it at the portrait.
"Revelus taina!"
The portrait shown a violet color, then slowly it faded away, concentrating the color on one side of the frame in a certain spot.
Draco briskly walked up to it and waved at Harry to come over as well.
In the gold frame, there was what looked like a horizontal braid of gold. Draco traced it with his finger to try and find something.
They both jumped back when the portrait melted away, revealing a passage. The passage was awkwardly light. They had both been expecting the typical dark and dreary channel.
The glanced at each other and warily stepped in. They walked in silence for fifteen minutes after which Harry abruptly stopped.
"The room should be here," he said, pointing at the obvious change in the color of the stone used.
"So, which spell?"
"Desaparezca," Harry answered after a few moments. They both walked back to the opposite end of the fairly narrow passageway and brought their wands out.
Draco looked at Harry, and when the latter nodded, he faced the wall and bellowed out "Desaparezcas!" simultaneously with Harry.
The wall broke down. One brick flew at Harry's head. He managed to duck, but it still scratched the top of his head.
Harry cursed loudly as his hand flew to stop the bleeding, to no avail.
"Move your hand," said an annoyed Draco.
He muttered a spell and the wound healed.
"Thanks," Harry said. He stood up and used a cleaning spell to rid his skin of the blood.
"Let's go," he said, moving toward the entrance.
