Chapter 9

By the time Harry reached Gryffindor tower he had worked himself into a towering rage,

"Hello dear, bad practice?" greeted the fat lady happily, as he approached the hidden entrance

"Bubbletubble" he hissed as a reply, very put out she swung forward mumbling about disrespectful students.

"Hey, where've you been? Practice ended over half an hour ago." Ron asked in an annoyed voice, as harry entered the common room, not noticing that harry looked like he was about to hurt something or someone.

Hermione however, did, and scowled as she noticed Ron's tone.

"Harry, what's happened?"

Harry was grumbling to himself, and completely ignoring Ron and Hermione. Hermione was slightly pissed off that he was ignoring her and said in a very Hermione-like-way,

"Well fine if you're gonna be like that we wont waste our breath on telling you what happens to us! No matter how much you beg!"

Harry looked at her and hissed in a very surreally calm voice, "I do not beg."

He looked down to his firebolt still in his hand, and with a flick of his wand sent it off up the stairs to his dormitory, where it safely locked itself in his trunk.

"And, if you don't want to waste your breath talking to me, then why are you now?"

"Because we wondered where you went!" Ron cried indignantly,

"You were annoyed! Why?" Harry questioned

"Because we're your friends!" Hermione shot back at him. Harry looked at them both a small smirk crept onto his face, and he asked in a voice that displayed no emotion

"Are we?"

The emotions that passed over Ron and Hermione 's faces, was a mixture between anger and hurt.

"Of course -" Hermione started but Ron cut across her

"Not, if you take attitude with us! Whats going on potter? First you bugger off into Knockturn alley, alone. Then you buy that awful dagger, and that disgusting hand!"

"It's not disgusting! And Draconis is not awful!"

"Draconis? You named that dagger? Why?"

Harry's right hand was reaching slowly into his pocket of his cloak.

"Because I love Draconis, I carry it with me everywhere! For safety for one, and just so I can feel the weight in my pocket. It's comforting."

"How, harry. How can a dagger be comforting? Especially one that helped commit murder!"

The common room went quiet at Hermione' s words. Harry looked around

"Obliviate!!"

The spells washed over everyone, except for harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny.

"What did you just do?" Ginny asked in a timid voice.

"Erased their memories, it just wouldn't do, to have news, that the great harry potter, saviour of the wizarding world, has committed murder. Just think about how much damage that could do to the order. Their one hope could be going dark! Oh no, what ever shall we do? Oh great Dumbledore how could you let this happen?" harry was imitating a woman crying to Dumbledore for help,

"I'm sorry Melinda but what happened, happened for the sake of the order!" now he was doing a very similar impression of Dumbledore,

"But why?" the woman's voice was back again

"Because it was for the precious Order!" and he finished talking like Dumbledore again by adding a laugh, only this one wasn't Dumbledore 's, it was the same one he had used when he was torturing Kretcher.

Hermione, Ron and Ginny were looking horrified as they listened to harry debate with himself.

"You've gone mad!" Ron whispered, "He's gone completely mad!"

"You know Weasley, you're properly right." Harry laughed again, and walked straight past them up to his bed.

Once he was out of earshot, hermione broke down into tears. Ginny shrank to the floor, muttering,

"He's gone mad, now what's Dumbledore going to do, all our plans, all our hopes. Whisked away because potter's gone Mad." Ron was starring into space.

"Come on we've got to tell Dumbledore." He dragged Ginny to her feet and the three of them left the common room just as the effects of the spell began to subside and the Gryffindor's went back to what they were doing just 5 minutes before.

Watching them disappear from the common room, Harry stood on the stairs, hidden by his invisibility cloak.

10 minutes later they still hadn't returned and making up his mind harry made his way across the common room floor and climbed out of the portrait hole. Walking as silently as he could, Harry made his way down to the dungeons.

'Be ready father, you've got some explaining to do.'

AN: sorry this ones so short, but I just wanted one with harry arguing with the others, I didn't actually realise how short it was till I had uploaded it. Then I thought 'ah! Its so short, the ones before were nice and long!' the next chapter harry talks to Severus, its gonna be a lot of dialogue, so I hope I don't bore people, but once Severus realises that harry isn't so good and pure like he thinks he is and is actually becoming corrupt it gets a lot more interesting, Tanathos makes new friends, and eventually harry is cast away and forgotten about [that's not any time soon though ( sorry, but it's something to look forward to.]

Keep reading and reviewing!
