Chapter 28

'Boring' Tanathos whined to himself as History of Magic continued 'this is soooooo boring. We're not learning anything except how to sleep comfortably on the HoM books.'

Tanathos leant down on his book again and glanced around the room. The class was made up of him, Granger; who was taking notes and ignoring Tanathos who was seated only a few chairs away; Theodore Nott; from Slytherin, who was behind him, playing hangman on a piece of parchment with Draco; who glanced up and looked at Tanathos briefly, he smirked at him quickly before returning his attention to the parchment. Susan Bones and Hannah Abbot; both of which had their makeup out and weren't paying any attention whatsoever to Binns, and Padma Patil who was sitting with Terry Boot by the window and were using the light coming through it to make shadow puppets against the wall behind Binns.

Binns himself was completely unaware of the students in the class as he continued on with his lesson as usual.

Tanathos sighed and began to doodle on a spare bit of parchment. He was halfway through doing a little sketch of the Dark Mark when a folded piece of parchment landed on his desk.

Curious he opened it and read:

Hello Harry,

Having fun being all-alone? What happened between you and Granger? And don't tell me nothing, because I'm not that stupid.

Draco

Tanathos smirked before replying

Hello to you too Draco,

What's Nott gonna say about you sending notes to me?

And as for Granger, her and Weasley have decided that we are bitter enemies now.

Harry

Tanathos threw the note back and waited for the reply

Nott is a twat, the only reason I am allowing him to sit with me is because he is the only other Slytherin in the class.

What did you do to Granger and Weasley to make them hate you suddenly? You lot have been friends for bloody ages.

Tanathos laughed lightly causing Granger to scowl at him, still laughing Tanathos winked back at her. She blushed and quickly looked away again.

He then sent a reply to Draco

I kissed her in the boy's dormitory, felt her up, knocked her head against the stonewall and called her a mudblood. As for Weasley I duelled him and he lost – magnificently.

Tanathos heard Draco laugh as he read the note then Draco sent it back.

Is she good? Weasley would have lost any duel – unless it was with Longbottom.

This made Tanathos laugh

She's okay – for a mudblood, tortures well, didn't scream though. By the way, what do you know about Ginny?

He sent the note back, curiosity tipping his tongue. Ginny's appearance at the All Hallows Eve party had caused a lot of questions to be asked in his mind. And he wanted answers.

Draco returned the note and Tanathos read it quickly

She's Weasley's sister. That's all I know. Why did you ask me?

Tanathos sighed before replying. He decided to be blunt.

Come on Draco, I know she has sided with the DL. What do you know?

He tossed it back and waited patiently for the reply

How do you know that? Here is not the place to discuss this. Meet me where we were last night, 2 hours before dinner tonight.

And burn this note.

Tanathos turned around and nodded to Draco who was watching him expectantly. Draco smirked and motioned to the note, Tanathos turned to it and muttered

"Inflamarae"

The parchment burnt up quickly and he then cast "Evanesco" to get rid of the ashes.

The rest of the class went by slowly, but eventually the bell went and Tanathos packed up his stuff and headed to the hall for lunch.

~S~

Once he was in the hall, Tanathos ate his dinner quickly. The note from his father granting him permission to have free range in the Restricted Section was in his pocket and the notebook with the three other books already copied into it waiting in his bag. The three books themselves he was planning on returning today, as they too waited in his bag.

10 minutes after he entered the hall, Tanathos left it again, and immediately headed to the library. He walked swiftly glaring at anyone how tried to approach him. But as he entered the stillroom he slowed his walk and silently made his way over to Madam Pince.

"Hello Madam Pince" he said politely "I have three books to return and a permission slip to use the Restricted Section with no reservations."

Madam Pince looked at him before replying "Come to my desk then, and we'll see if this note is legal or not."

She walked off briskly and Tanathos followed smiling slightly to himself. Once he reached her desk he took out the three books he had borrowed from Blaise and handed them over.

"Mister Zabini took these out. Why are you returning them?" she asked him

Tanathos shrugged

"Blaise and I are friends. He knew I was heading to the library today and asked me to drop them off for him. So I agreed."

"Well okay then. Now this note about usage of the restricted section. Let me see it."

Tanathos smiled politely at her before taking the note out of his pocket and handing it to her.

She took it and examined it

"Tell me Mr Potter. Why would Professor Snape sign a note for you to use the restricted section?"

Tanathos shrugged again,

"I have a potions assignment to do and I pulled the short straw in class about who has to do all the work and get the information out for the class."

Madam Pince looked sceptical before answering "Very well. Come along then. You have until the end of lunch"

"Madam Pince" Tanathos interrupted "I don't think that will be enough time to look through the entire section"

Pince tightened her lips before agreeing "You may return after classes as well then. But then you will have only until dinnertime. Agreed?"

"Agreed."

Pince opened the RS and let Tanathos enter, before shutting it again.

As soon as he heard the door shut he pulled out his notebook and began with the top shelf.

He took the first book down and placed the notebook over it

"Transfi" he muttered and both books glowed blue then faded. Tanathos put the book back and took the second one down. He repeated the process again and again and again.

When Madam Pince came back ten minutes before the end of lunch he had copied every book on the top two shelves and was half way along the third.

"Lunch is almost over mister Potter. You may return after classes okay."

"Yes, thank you."

Tanathos picked up his notebook and left the library heading to DADA.

'Great another lessen where Remus tells us that Dark arts are evil. As if we don't already know!'

~S~

When Tanathos reached the classroom everyone was standing outside. He walked up to Blaise and stood with him and Draco. This small motion caused lots of talking and dark looks to be sent their way. All three ignored them.

"Why are we all out side?" he asked them

"Full moon. And Snape is teaching so he can't cover and the step in is late." Blaise replied

"Ah, okay. Hey Blaise you know those three books you lent me?"

"Yeah"

"Pince has them. But" Tanathos pulled the notebook out of his pocket and held it in his hand

"This little baby has the top three rows in the RS and by dinner shall have it all" he grinned, Blaise looked impressed and Draco was moving his hands towards it slowly. Spotting this Tanathos put it away again

"Tut, Tut. Draco not until it's full. Then you can look." He replied grinning still.

"Okay. Hey here comes the cover teacher. Hey it's"

"Umbridge" Tanathos finished before groaning

As they entered the class Tanathos whispered to Draco and Blaise

"Don't let me lose my temper. I know some nasty stuff now."

Draco sniggered and replied, "If you do – I'll lock the door"

Blaise laughed and said, "Make sure you don't use DA, or Dumbledore will be on your case"

They sat down at the back

"I'm surprised he's not already actually." Tanathos replied quietly

"He's losing his touch that's why. He has no control over a quarter of the school now that the DL's back" Draco answered

"True" Tanathos laughed and Blaise nudged him to be quiet

"Good morning class" Umbridge greeted them. No one answered it.

Umbridge frowned

"Now that wasn't very good. When I greet a class I expect them to answer. Now lets try again. Good morning class."

This time there were a few mumbled responses. Umbridge frowned again.

"Now, this wont do at all" she said in her sickly sweet voice

Tanathos was sick of it already and commented loudly

"Just give up and do your job, woman"

Umbridge looked at him

"Now Mr Potter, that wasn't very polite. I think a detention will do you well."

"No it wont." He cut across her, his temper boiling with just the sight of the woman who he blamed for the reason his fifth year was pure hell.

Umbridge looked taken back

"Why Mr Potter what do you mean?"

Tanathos stood and moved towards the front of the class slowly. He could tell they were all holding their breath and he cursed quietly in Parseltongue.

Most of the class shuddered at the sound of the snake language and Umbridge took a step back from him

"You have no power here, Umbridge."

He snarled at her

"I'm your teacher!" she cried outraged and Tanathos smirked at the note of fear in her high-pitched voice.

"Of course you are" he replied sarcastically

"Return to your seat at once!" she almost shouted.

Tanathos stayed standing "No I don't think I will. I rather like it here, or would if you weren't in the room."

Umbridge pulled out her wand and pointed it at Tanathos who didn't even flinch

"What are you gonna do Umbridge?" he asked, advancing on her, his temper barley in check "Cast Crucio on me? Like you almost did last year?"

This little sentence caused an uproar of whispering from the class.

Umbridge was beginning to shake

"Whats the matter professor why are you shaking?"

Umbridge looked away from him and mumbled a reply. The class couldn't hear it, but Tanathos did. He let out a harsh bark of laughter before answering her

"Inform the ministry? Well why not. They havent fucked up my life much recently. You know with the return of the Dark Lord and everything. They havent really bothered me, so tell them! I don't care!" he snarled at her before continuing his temper near breaking point

"Why not? Tell them that I'm the next Dark Lord if you want!" he was nearly shouting now

"Gone on! Buggar off back to London and tell them that their precious saviour for the wizarding world has turned evil! Go on! GO!"

He shouted at her, Umbridge took one last glance at him before darting to the door. The class could hear her sobs echoing through the corridor. And they cheered and began applauding Tanathos.

He turned to them and scowled at them

"Don't applaud me just fuck off and leave me alone!"

He hissed. The class quickly left the classroom.

Draco and Blaise approached him

"Impressive, very impressive." Draco commented

"Yes very" Blaise agreed "And not one spell cast. Well done."

Blaise handed Tanathos his bag.

"Lets go to the ROR I need a drink and a smoke."

Draco smirked at him before nodding. The three left the classroom and headed up to the seventh floor.

Tanathos didn't make it that far. As soon as the exited the passageway that took them to the fifth floor, Dumbledore approached them.

"Mr Potter, a word in my office please."

He turned and Tanathos reluctantly followed

'After this talk I'll be in the RS, I'll meet you in the ROR later.'

He sent to Blaise as he left the corridor

'Okay. See you later.'
