Chapter 12 Only the good die young

Harry ran out of the Common Room as fast as he could. I need to talk to someone, Harry thought carefully shielding his mind. I can't talk to any of the Marauders because they won't believe me. I know. I'll talk to Dobby. With that thought in mind Harry raced down to the kitchens.

Hermoine glanced around the table and saw the Lady Marauders and most of the Marauders except for one… Harry.

"Ron," Hermoine started, "see if you can contact Harry again."

Ron closed his eyes and concentrated, but finally said, "I'm sorry, but he has completely blocked me off."

"I'll have to start without him and fill him in later," stated Hermoine. She then told the group about the prophecy made.

"Well," asked Lavender, "what do you think it means?"

Ginny spoke up and said, "I think that the four heirs are here now. Harry is obviously the heir of Gryffindore. Ron would be for Hufflepuff. Hermoine for Ravenclaw."

"But that still leaves Slytherin," said Neville.

"Well since James can turn into a snake," said Luna, "I would bet it is him."

James thought for a little bit and said, "I hate to disappoint you, but I don't think I am the heir of Slytherin."

"But how do you know?" asked Lavender.

"Because," stated Hermione, "the last heir of Slytherin,"

"Was Voldemort," finished Ron. Many around the table flinched at the name. They were still not used to hearing, let alone saying his name.

James spoke up then and said, "I know I am not the son of Voldemort, but I also know he did have a decendant." James then gave a brief description of Trelawney's prediction.

"Well then whom could it be?" asked Neville.

"I don't know," answered Hermoine.

Meanwhile, Harry reached the picture of the fruit and was about to tickle the pear when he heard someone coming. Harry was about to turn back when he saw who it was, Cho Chang.

"Oh Harry," said Cho a little startled. "I didn't expect to see you here. We really haven't had a chance to talk this year. Care for doing some catching up while we get a snack?"

Harry didn't know what to say. He thought about what Hermoine might say, but then he remembered what had happened and said, "Sure."

Drake walked back through the Main Hall with Pansy and was about to find his friends when Ginny walked up on them.

Drake could see hurt in her eyes and realized what it must look like to her. He quickly stated, "Pansy, I would like to introduce you to my girlfriend, Ginny Weasley."

Pansy looked at both of them, while Ginny stood there shocked. Girlfriend, thought Ginny, but I figured from the way they were walking together he didn't want anything else to do with me.

Drake then said, "That is of course if she accepts."

Harry and Cho were catching up when Cho asked, "So how is Hermoine? I hear you two make a perfect couple."

Harry felt hurt that Cho brought up Hermoine. He then told her what he saw in the Common Room.

"I can't believe she did that," said Cho. "Tell you what. Why don't you forget her for a while and met me outside tonight?" Then Cho got up and gave Harry a kiss on the lips.

Harry returned to the Common Room and was headed upstairs when he was stopped by Hermoine.

"Harry," said Hermoine, "we've been looking for you all day. We have something important to tell you."

Harry glared at Hermoine with a very angry look on his face. "I saw you two today. I can't believe you did that. We're through Hermoine. Go back to your ferret, Malfoy."

With that Harry went up to his room and shut his curtains. He then locked them so he wouldn't be bothered that night.

Later that night Voldemort and Wormtail were waiting by their fire in the Forbidden Forest when two hooded figures approached.

"It is done Father. The love potion mixed with the Impervious Curse worked perfectly," said the first hooded figure.

"Well," hissed Voldermort, "now we have a great prize. My greatest enemy, Harry Potter," who then lowered his hood, "is in love with my daughter, Cho Chang," who then lowered her hood. "He will do whatever you command of him my dear. Now that two of the Heirs of Hogwarts are together soon we shall claim Hogwarts and all of the world will tremble."
