Harry Potter goes to Hogwarts and risks his neck for the sixth time
Hi, all you (well so far one) readers. I'm back. You can either cheer or groan now, I'm not very particular.
Snicket: Oh, wow I actually got a review! I feel so special. Thanks a lot for the great review, and I'm sorry I took your idea. But I am plotting to take over the world so can you really blame me? and did you really think the disclaimer was funny? I thought it was kind of stupid and too long. But anyway thanks!
Now for another disclaimer. Yippee!
Me: I don't own any of the characters. Even (sob, sob) Malfoy. He escaped. Well actually, his Dad showed up with his best mate, Voldemort. But never fear, I will get him back, someday. Hermione are you sure I can't own Harry and Voldemort for a few days, only?
Hermione: No. But why? Neither of them is particularly hot, though Voldemort is kinda sexy.
Me: well if I own both of them then maybe they'll have their final showdown in the secret room behind my bookshelf. That would be awesome. And Hermione you weren't supposed to say that. What did I tell you about staying in character?
Hermione: huh? What did I do wrong?
Me: geez, Hermione do I have to spell it out to you? You did read the script this morning, didn't you?
Hermione: (blushing) well...no. But I didn't read it last time and that didn't seem to bother you.
Me: You weren't in it last time!
Hermione: I wasn't? well I still don't know what I did wrong.
Me: oh for Pete's sake Hermione(drag her out of earshot and I talk furiously gesturing wildly.)
Hermione: Okay, okay. Pretend I never said that first line. In any case King Kazul owns nothing. At all.
A/N I shall now start the story. Yippee. Oh and in one place last chapter I accidently put dementor when I meant Death Eater. Sorry. And just because this is called Mala's Secret I won't necessarily tell you what her secret is. And it's her mom's secret too. If this chapter is kinda weird it's because I was just working on my stupid random plotless story and I'm kinda still in that "mode" and yes the rumors are true. in this chapter we get (drumroll) Harry's first outburst! You didn't think I would leave them out did you?
Chapter 2: Mala's secretHarry gasped and touched his hand to his scar. "what's the matter, Harry?" asked Lupin.
"It's nothing." Said Harry quickly, "er...nice to meet you."
" Nice to meet you too, Harry." said Mala, and her mother nodded.
"Well we better get to dinner." Said Lupin. "Dumbledore, are you staying?"
"No. I have urgent business to attend to." said Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling.
" Right." Said Lupin. He started to leave and Harry followed him. He stopped just out of the door. "Gabby, are you coming?"
"I'll be along in a minute." Said Professor Sielstin. "close the door, please"
Harry closed the door behind him, but left it open a crack. He could just see Dumbledore through the door, and he could hear perfectly. Dumbledore said, "Gabby, are you going to tell him?"
Professor Sielstin shrugged. "I guess I'll have to won't I?" she said. "But I hate to...I have to teach him you know."
"Gabby, it was five years.There's absolutely nothing wrong with that." said Dumbledore. Professor Sielstin's response was so low that Harry couldn't hear it. "Well, you couldn't, could you? You were in hiding." Dumbledore said.
Just then Lupin called. "Harry, come on." and Harry hurried after him. His head was spinning. Had Dumbledore meant him? If so what was it that Professor Sielstin had to tell him? And who was in hiding? Though he didn't know it, what he had overheard cut down a little more of his protective shield.
Lupin turned into a room, right next to the stairs, and Harry followed him. Inside was huge- at least half the size of the Great Hall- and there was a long table like the ones in the great Hall. He could see several members of the order, as well as his best friend Ron Weasley, and Ron's brothers Fred, George, and Bill, and his sister Ginny, and their parents, and a few children he didn't know. When he entered the room Ron waved him over and shouted, "It's HARRY!" Harry hurried over and sat down between Ron and Fred.
"Hey, Harry, good to see ya mate." Said Fred.
"Hi, Harry," said Ginny, who was sitting across from him.
"Hi Ron...Fred...George...Ginny," Harry said "Where's Hermione? Is she here?"
"Naw, she's on vacation...in India apparently" Ron shook his head. "India, I tell you. That's one weird family...now I know where she gets it from."
"RON!" said Fred.
"Sorry, mate," said Ron. "he fancies her, you know," He told Harry in a fake undertone."
"I do not!" Fred insisted. Harry, Ron, and George stared at him. "Well, okay, maybe just a little bit."
"Right, mate." Said George, "Just a little bit. That's why you have a picture of her on your wall."
"Okay, maybe more than a bit." Fred admitted. Changing the subject he said, "So, Harry...what's been up with you?"
Harry shrugged. "Nothing. I've just been...hanging around."
"You've been really depressed, haven't you?" Ginny asked, quietly.
Harry turned to her, surprised, "Yeah, I guess I have. How'd you know?"
Ron laughed. "I don't think you've written more than five words in a single letter to us since the end of term."
Harry felt the anger rising up inside of him. "YOU THINK THIS IS ALL A JOKE, DO YOU?" he shouted, standing up. "HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL RIGHT KNOW? HOW CAN YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL? YOU'VE ALL GOT TWO PERFECTLY HEALTHY PARENTS! NOT ONLY HAVE I LOST BOTH MY PARENTS BUT NOW I'VE LOST SIRIUS, TOO! YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU WITH YOUR PERFECT LITTLE LIVES! I'VE LOST EVERYTHING CLOSE TO A PARENT AND NOW I'VE GOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE PROPHECY TOO-" Just then Harry realized what he had said and that everyone at the table was staring at him. How could they not? He sank back into his seat embarrassed.
"The prophecy?" Ron asked "-but the prophecy smashed, didn't it? Why would you have to worry about it? I mean-"
"I'll tell you about it later," Harry muttered. Ron nodded.
"Harry," Mrs. Weasley said. Harry remembered something she had said the year before about him being as good as a son.
"I think I'll go...er," He realized he didn't know where he was supposed to sleep.
"I'll go show you where your room is, shall I?" said Ron.
Grateful, Harry nodded and followed Ron out of the room. Once they were out of earshot, he said, "So what is this about a prophecy?"
"I'll tell you in a minute," Harry said. "You'll want to be sitting down."
"Okay," Ron said. Harry followed him up two flights of stairs: "The bedrooms on the second floor are for Order members only. All us kids are on the third floor." Ron explained.
"All?" Harry asked. "But there's just us and Ginny...Fred and George are in the order now aren't they? Who else..."
"I'm not telling you anything until you explain about this prophecy," said Ron.
"Oh, right" said Harry. Ron stopped in front of one of the rooms.
"This is your room," he said.
Harry opened the door and the went inside. The room was big and nice, with a big bed, a desk, an antique dresser, and an armchair. Ron settled in the chair, while he sat on the edge of the bed. "okay," he started. "For one thing, the thing that smashed was only the record of the prophecy. The prophecy was made by Professor Trewlaney." Ron gasped. "Dumbledore heard it and he told me what it said."
"D'you...remember it?" Ron asked.
Harry nodded. He had only heard it once, over a month ago, but he had no doubt he would never forget what it said. He recited: "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...born to those that have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."
"Blimey!" said Ron. "So that meant you."
"That's the thing." Said Harry, "It could have meant...Neville."
"the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal," said Ron, "You've got the scar, mate."
"yeah ...yeah, I guess." Said Harry.
"So you have to kill him." Said Ron, slowly.
"yup."
"There's no other way." Said Ron.
"Seems so."
"Gosh," said Ron.
Just then, Mala stuck her head in the door. "Harry, Ron, You've got to come down, something's happened!"
"What?" asked Harry standing up quickly.
"There's been an attack."
A/N Ha! It's a cliffhanger! Well you know what to do, now that you've read it's time to...review!
