Disclaimer: I only own what's mine
AN: hey everyone umm...this chapter might have a lot of mistakes cuz I can't exactly type. See the thing is that I was trying out for volleyball and guess what – I sprained my thumb. Yes I know how weird that sounds but monday morning I sprained it and I thought nothing of it cuz I thought the pain would go away but it got worse and I could barely move my thumb. So I asked the coach tuesday what to do and he brought me to the trainer and now I have this thing on my thumb/wrist, which prevents me from moving either. So it's incredibly hard to type. I apologize for it though it really isn't my fault. Now I can't make the team either – actually I think I could've made it if I didn't get hurt but...oh well. Cuz we had 2 sessions a day but I didn't go to the second one cuz I obviously can't really play. The coach told me that I obviously couldn't make the team but that I can tryout again next year cuz they'll be a lot of spots open from the seniors graduating. Well that;s my lovely excuse for my mistakes but whatever.
VERY IMPORTANT!!! I want to know what pairs you guys like. I'm not sure what couples I'm going to end up with but I'm open for suggestions...I personally love one couple - which you'd know if you look at my profile or favorite stories list. I think I want them together because they're the best. But other than that...who should Ginny, Harry, Ron, Blaise, Josh (and the list goes on) end up with? even any of the prefects - if you have a favorite couple tell me and I'll see if it fits in my story. Well that's all for now...
Recap: Hermione woke up early - Blaise and Draco saw her in her pajamas - all the heads and prefects went to Hogsmeade for the day - Kim likes Evan and she told Faith that - Violet and Ray talked about Voldemort and such - Zach likes Liza but she met an older guy that she's going on a date with on Saturday - Mandy and Hannah got in a fight with Justin in the middle - Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione couldn't decide on a store to go so they went to lunch - Blaise, Josh and Draco argued some more about Hermione and then got onto talking about the bet...

Chapter 10 – Interesting Encounters
"So? Oh well, anyway that reminds me. Have you picked the ten lucky ladies who get to visit my bed before break?" Blaise asked Josh.
"Well, I've been thinking about that." Josh said.
"Ummhm...go on."
"I think we need to set the stakes and guidelines before I tell you."
"Okay, guidelines. First of all I'm not seducing some first year or something so she's got to be in sixth or seventh."
"Makes sense."
"It obviously can't be someone I've already had, or a school slut."
"Wasn't planning on it."
"And I'm not sure what we should have for stakes."
"I'm not sure either..."
"Draco, any ideas?"
"Why not just make it simple, money."
"That's too boring though, we need something exciting." Blaise replied.
"Then do something that would embarrass you if you lose."
"Like what?"
"I don't know."
"I got it!" Blaise exclaimed.
"What?" Josh asked.
"Well, which ever one of us loses has to get down on one knee at dinner and propose to Professor McGonagall."
"That's kind of odd don't you think?"
"Sure, but that's what makes it fun."
"Fine."
"Now onto the ladies..."
"Alright, you can sleep with them in any order you want. Wait till I'm done to comment. Andrea Simmons, Susan Bones, Nora O'Connell, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Padma Patil, Hannah Abbot, Riley Jenkins, Beverly Hawkins and I couldn't come up with the last one."
"Granger." Draco said.
"What?" Josh asked.
"I said Granger should be the last one."
"But..."
"Why not? It's not like he's gonna be able to seduce her anyway."
"But Draco, Josh likes her."
"Oh, you're afraid of a challenge Blaise?"
"No, I'll do it."
"Good."
"Alright, Josh, I'm not sure I even know some of the chicks you said."
"I thought you knew every girl in the school."
"So I don't know every girl. Who are Andrea, Nora, Beverly and Riley? The rest of them I know."
"Andrea's a Slytherin sixth year, she's kind of flirtatious but hasn't had sex with like anyone yet, I don't think. Any guy that goes out with her will get a few kisses and make out sessions but not much more, and she loves playing hard to get."
"Well she's a Slytherin so she can't be that hard."
"You'd be surprised. Alright, Nora is a Gryffindor sixth year. She's kind of outgoing and everything but like Andrea she hasn't been that far and she won't."
"A Gryffindor?"
"You said you wanted a challenge."
"I know, I know. Alright who are the last two?"
"Riley's a Slytherin seventh year, I thought you would've known her. She's kind of shy though, only has a few close friends and doesn't really trust anyone. I don't think she's had that many boyfriends, a few at the most. So she's practically untouched."
"I think I know who you're talking about."
"Beverly, or Bev is a sixth year Hufflepuff. She's rather outgoing, popular in her year and tends to date around. Most guys say she puts out but I think that's just so their reputation isn't damaged cuz I've talked to her before and she's never slept with a guy in her life."
"She could've been lying."
"She wasn't."
"Well Blaise looks like you got yourself into some deep shit." Draco commented.
"I can handle it. It's only 3 Hufflepuffs, 3 Gryffindors, 2 Ravenclaws and 2 Slytherins."
"Yea but like you asked for, none of them are going to be easy." Josh reminded.
::::::::::scene change::::::::::
"Why don't we all just go get butterbeers and lunch since that's the only thing we all agree on." Hermione suggested.
"Sounds good." The three replied. The group of friends made their way through the streets of Hogsmeade to The Three Broomsticks. They were seated at a booth in the back near a couple that couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other.
"Gross." Hermione said as they passed their table.
"I know, they've been here for over an hour and they don't seem to be eating anything they ordered." The waitress commented. Hermione blushed because she didn't think anyone would've actually heard that. "Well here you are."
The four filed into the seats, Hermione and Ron on one side, Harry and Ginny on the other, like it always was.
"So do you know what you want? Or should I come back in a few minutes?" the waitress asked.
"Angelina?" Ginny muttered.
"Yes, how did you know?"
"It's Ginny, Ginny Weasley."
"Oh my god, I didn't recognize you. You all look so different since I last saw you."
"How are you and Fred doing?"
"Pretty good actually, I'm just working here because he's always at work during the day and I just sat around at home all the time."
"You should tell him, I'm sure he can take some time off."
"Well I don't want to cut into the business, and plus it helps to have some of my own money. I'm always using his and I feel bad."
"But you live together."
"Still, can you keep a secret?"
"Sure."
"We're engaged."
"Really?!"
"Yea, he proposed just last weekend, it was so romantic. But you can't say anything cuz we haven't told anyone yet."
"I can keep my mouth shut."
"Angelina! Hurry up, it shouldn't take that long to take an order." One of the other waiters said.
"I know, I'm going." Angelina replied.
"Sorry." Ginny apologized.
"Oh it's not your fault, that's Craig, he always picks on me."
"You know that usually means he likes you."
"Yes, but I have Fred."
"Does he know that?"
"Well he's seen the ring."
"Oh my god, where is it?!"
"Calm down, Ginny." She held out her hand and on it was a simple heart cut diamond with a gold band.
"Oh, it's so beautiful. So simple."
"He knew I didn't want anything too fancy."
"It fits you perfectly."
"Gin, not that I'm not happy for Angelina and Fred but can we order already? I'm starving." Ron but in. Angelina laughed.
"Sure you can Ron, what would you like?"
"I want a BLT sandwich with fries and onion rings."
"Okay and what would you like to drink?"
"Just a butterbeer."
"Hermione?"
"Um...I'll just have a butterbeer and the tuna sandwich."
"Harry?"
"Butterbeer and chicken wings."
"Ginny?"
"The pasta bowl and a butterbeer."
"Okay, coming right up." Angelina collected their menus and walked into the kitchen to put in their order.
"Well that was an odd surprise." Ginny said once she left.
"I can't believe they're engaged." Hermione shrieked.
"Now we just wait for George to propose to Katie."
"He won't, he's too scared."
"Well she wants him to."
"He doesn't know that."
"We could tell him."
"Can you two just stop talking about getting engaged or whatever and talk about something more entertaining?" Ron suggested.
"I guess we could." Hermione answered as she never heard Ron.
"But should we really get in the way?"
"I'm not sure, Fred managed fine on his own."
"But this is George we're talking about. He'll probably get her a ring that turns into a frog or something."
"True, maybe we should help."
"I'm starting to agree with Ron, can we talk about something else?" Harry said. But just then Angelina came back with the drinks and food and they all ate happily with minimal conversation.
::::::::::scene change::::::::::
Blaise, Josh and Draco had ordered and were waiting for their food when an unexpected person strolled into the restaurant. He walked over to where the guys sat talking and made himself noticed.
"I thought I'd find you here."
"Hello father." Draco replied.
"I went up to the school but Dumbledore told me you had gone to Hogsmeade for the day, special Heads privileges. Congratulations on making Head Boy."
"Thanks."
"Well, I need to talk to you, alone. Can we go for a walk?"
"But we already ordered, the food should be here any minute."
"Draco."
"Fine, can you guys save my food, don't eat it." He said to Blaise and Josh before getting up and following his father out of the restaurant. Lucius walked down the alley and kept going until they reached a rundown house at the end. He walked inside a motioned for Draco to follow. Once they were inside he preformed several locking and silencing charms on the doors and windows.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Lucius asked.
"No, but can we make this quick because I have things to do."
"Never talk back to me. Crucio." Draco fell to the floor rolling around in pain until his father released the curse. "Now, the reason I brought you here today was to tell you what I discussed with the Dark Lord."
"What would that be?"
"Your son."
"My son?"
"Yes, I know I told you that your son was going to be the next Dark Lord but there have been some changes in the plans."
"Like what?"
"Our Lord has found a spell that will make him immortal with the blood of your son and Harry Potter. Two of his most faithful followers and his enemy. Since he already has Harry Potter's blood in him all he needs is the blood of your son."
"When?"
"The spell will be preformed the night you graduate from Hogwarts as well as your initiation."
"Why so long?"
"The blood needs to be healthy and strong before it can be used."
"Are you going to need to kill the baby?"
"We're not sure yet. The amount of blood he needs is great, it might be too much for the baby to survive without."
"So he'll die?"
"The baby? Yes, he might. But I'm sure that's a risk you're willing to take to give your master immortality."
"Yes it is."
"Good, now there's one more thing I came to tell you."
"Yes father?"
"We have arranged things with Dumbledore so you can visit Pansy every other weekend at the Manor."
"This weekend?"
"No starting next weekend."
"Where will I meet you?"
"We will meet here and then apparate."
"Okay."
"Now that is all, go back to your friends I will see you next weekend." And with that Lucius apparated back to Malfoy Manor leaving Draco alone. Draco found his way back to the pub where Blaise and Josh were sitting devouring their lunch.
"What did he want?" Blaise asked as soon as Draco sat down.
"To talk about the baby."
"What'd he say?"
"I'll tell you when we get back to school, to many people can overhear now."
"Okay. We didn't eat your lunch. Here."
"Thanks." Draco said before digging into his chicken meal.
::::::::::scene change::::::::::
"So Harry, Quidditch season starts soon. Who do you think is gonna be made captain?" Ron stated.
"I'm not sure."
"It'll probably be you."
"I'm already a prefect."
"So."
"I don't know."
"Quidditch captain is elected from the team not the teachers."
"Still."
"You've got my vote."
"Mine too." Ginny chimed in.
"Thanks guys but I don't think I want to be captain."
"Why not?" Ginny asked him.
"I just don't want to be."
"So who wants to go back to the school?" Hermione cut in.
"I do." Harry replied.
"I guess so." Ginny mumbled.
"But..." Ron protested then stopped when he saw the look his girlfriend was giving him.
"Alright let's split the check, 4 sickles each." The four of them each put their money on the table including tip and said goodbye to Angelina before leaving.
The journey back up to the school was normal, they talked about classes, quidditch, and whatnot. But the thing that really got them excited was talking about what events they thought Dumbledore might have in mind for this year.
"We'll probably have a graduation ball or party or something." Hermione said.
"Yea, and maybe something for Halloween or Christmas." Ron added.
"Don't forget New Years and Valentine's Day." Ginny piped up.
"We're not going to have that many balls and parties this year." Harry voiced.
"Well we can dream can't we?" Ginny pouted and Harry gave her a kiss.
They reached the entrance to the school and walked into the entrance hall. Remus Lupin and Tonks were pacing back and forth. When the two saw them they raced over.
"Thank god you're back." Remus exclaimed.
"What's going on?" Hermione asked.
"We have to take you to Dumbledore's office." Tonks responded and then leaned in closer to add, "Meeting of the Order."
"Well what are we waiting for?!" Harry declared and the group dashed up the stairs to the gargoyle.
"Gummy bears." Lupin said and the gargoyle started to move revealing a staircase. As soon as it appeared they were already on it. Once they reached the top they shoved open the door and rushed into the room. Around the table there were all the members of the Order and at the head was Dumbledore with Snape and McGonagall on either side of him.
"Now that we have the last of our members present we may begin the meeting." Dumbledore announced as the sic took their seats. "Severus."
Snape stood and looked down the table. "I have been told something that is very bad indeed..."
