Chapter 5- Two New Gryffindors

"Potter if we have to be in the same house, fine." Draco said to Harry.

"Fine. Visco, if you ever want to be my friend, forget it. Your father killed my parents. You are just like your father. How do I know you are different?" Harry told Visco.

"You know, Draco you were right. He is an idiot. If you were listening to Dumbledore, Potter I told him I was against my father,"

"You are your fathers son. You will never be a friend of mine." Harry informed Visco.

"Fine! I don't need you."

"Password?" The three boys had reached the portrait of the fat lady hiding the entryway into Gryffindor tower.

"Peachflies," the portrait swung back revealing a large room that was filled with large armchairs and tables. Red and gold velvet curtains hid the rays of the sun.

"Those stairs lead up to the dormitory." Harry said pointing to stair on the left. He then sat down in a large armchair by the fire.

Visco and Draco started climbing the stairs. When they were near the top of the stairs there was a loud bang. The stairs had vanished. In its place, there was a very steep slide. The two boys lost their balance and fell tumbling backwards, hitting the floor with a loud thump.

"Potter!" Draco screamed, his back sore from the fall.

"Sorry, those were the stairs leading to the girls dormitory. Over there is the stairs leading to our dormitory." Harry said pointing this time to the stairs on the right.

"Lets go," Visco said not wanting to talk to Harry any more then necessary. They turned towards the staircase Harry had pointed to the second time.

"Yeah," Said Draco. They walked up the stairs and opened to door at the top.

"This is just like our old room, but with a few changes." Visco said looking around. The room had seven beds, each with red bed curtains. Along one wall had a fireplace with a fire burning.

"This could take some getting use to!" Draco said looking around. He found his bed and sat down. The clock on the wall read five-thirty. One hour until dinner. "What do you want to do until dinner?" asked Draco.

"We could play Quidditch for a little while." Visco answered.

"Yeah, ok." Draco said. They both looked through their trunks and found their broomsticks. "Lets go. When they got to the door they both stopped. "I know Potter was being a jerk earlier, but we should be a little nicer to him. After all we have to live with him for ten months."

"Yeah, ok." Visco said starting down the stairs. "Potter do you want to play Quidditch with us?"

"Visco, I didn't mean that you should be that nice," Draco said. Visco just shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess so. Let me get my broom." Harry said headed towards the stairs. ['Those two', he thought to himself, 'one minute they are fighting with me and the next they are friendly. I think they have lost their minds.']

"Ok," Draco said, "Why did you tell Voldemort?"

"What do you mean? I have not told my father anything." Visco said a bit confused.

"You told him everything I told you not to tell him ... about my father ... me loving Hermione. Need I go on?" Draco said.

"No, no. I really thought that was only a dream." Said Visco.

"I think the Dark Lord has better things to do then listen to the dreams of a sixteen-year-old." Draco reminded Visco.

"Yeah, you are right."

"Ok, tell me honestly why did you tell your father?" Draco asked.

"Fine, I was on a secret mission for my father to spy on Dumbledore. He wanted to 'know the enemy.'" Visco said.

"You're joking right," Harry said coming down the stairs with his Firebolt in his hand. "You are risking death to save him?" Harry pointed to Draco.

"Yes. So are you ready to go?" said Visco, as the three boys walked out of the common room.

* * *

"Wow," Draco said kicking the hard ground to get up into the air.

The Quidditch field was composed of six sticks with golden hoops on the end, three on each side. Each stick stood fifty feet high. The field itself was covered in grass. The boys flew around for forty-five minutes until... "We should probably head in, dinner is in fifteen minutes." Visco said looking at the watch that was on his right hand.

"Visco, I think we should eat with the Slytherin house one more time." Draco said.

"That sounds like a good idea," Visco said as he flew down to the ground.

* * *

Draco, Harry, and Visco entered their domitory and put way their brooms sticks.

"Potter don't tell anyone about us." Draco said.

"Ok," Harry said.

They walked in silence until they reached the entryway to the great hall.

"Potter remember, don't tell anyone," Draco told Harry again.

"If you don't want anyone to know that you are in the same dormitory as me go up half-a-hour before everyone else does. Then we can talk about how we are going to introduce you to the rest of Gryffindor." Harry said.

"This will be fun, missing my dinner to talk to you, Potter. I can't wait." Said Draco. Draco gave Harry an evil look. Visco and Draco walk over towards the Slytherin table for the last time.

Meanwhile Harry looked over at the Gryffindor table to try to find Ron and Hermione. He found them sitting at the end of the table unusually close. Harry walked up behind them, and stood there. After a few seconds they did not realize he was there, Harry looked down at the table to speak. What he saw was Ron holding Hermione's hand.

Ron was taller than Hermione and Harry. He had bright red hair that you could see from a mile away, and freckles. He was the second youngest in a family of five boys and one girl. Hermione, on the other hand, had very curly brown hair that went down to the middle of her back. She, unlike Ron, was an only child.

"Hem, hem." Harry cleared his throat, trying not to yell at them both.

Ron and Hermione looked up at Harry and they both turned bright red and moved away from each other. Ron dropped Hermione's hand, and put his own hand under the table. Harry slid into the now larger space between Hermione and Ron, and started pilling all the food in front of him onto his plate.

"Please pass those rolls, Ron." Harry said without a care that Ron's face was still red. "Thank you, Ron. Hermione, would please pass the pumpkin juice." Hermione passed the juice without looking at Harry. After eating all he could, Harry placed his fork on the plate. "So... how were your classes today?"

"Ok," Hermione and Ron said blushing and looking down.

After waiting one minute without anyone talking Harry said: "Ok, I have had enough of this, Ron, Hermione, what is going on here?" He was sick of the way his friends were acting.

"Nothing," Hermione replied a little to quickly.

"You both are hiding something from me. Ron, can you please tell me what that is?" Harry said trying to push Ron into telling what was going on. "I will not be mad, I promise."

"Over the summer I asked Hermione to be my girlfriend and she said 'yes'." Ron said in a whisper.

"What?" Harry said, even though he knew what he had just said.

"Hermione and I are going out." Ron said again, but just as quiet.

"What? Ron I still can't hear you." Harry said.

"OVER THE SUMMER I ASKED HERMIONE TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND AND SHE SAID YES." Ron yelled. Half the people sitting at the Gryffindor table turned and looked at Ron., and broke into applause.

"Oh, congratulations." Harry said still not believing this. Now two people were in love with his best friend . . . first, Draco Malfoy and now Ron Weasley. "We got two new Gryffindors today." Harry informed Ron and Hermione.

"Really, that's great. Who are they?" Hermione asked, glad that Harry changed the topic.

"Can't say. I think you will find out tomorrow."

"OK. At lease tell us what year they are in." Ron asked, also very grateful that the subject had been changed.

"Sixth, like us." Harry responded looking over at the Slytherin table.

* * *

"If we don't want anyone know we should head up now." Visco said.

"Yeah, let's go." Draco said standing up. They both looked over at the Gryffindor table and then left the great hall.

* * *

Seeing that Draco and Visco getting up, Harry quickly turned to Ron and Hermione. "I think I'm going up to bed. I want the both of you," Harry said pointing at Ron and Hermione, "to be in back in the common room at a reasonable time."

"Yes mother," Ron said.

"Ha, ha." Said Harry and left the great hall to meet with Draco and Visco.

"You're late," Draco said as he heard the portrait open. Harry walked in and found a seat by Visco and Draco.

"Sorry," Harry said.

"So why are we here?" Visco asked.

"You both are here because if any other Gryffindor see you in here they will more than likely not be too friendly. You know how much Slytherins like of the Gryffindors. Well, Gryffindors like the Slytherins just as much. They hate each other." Harry informed them. "Now, do you have any questions about being in Gryffindor?" Both boys shook their heads to say 'no'. "Ok, the rest of the house will be up in any minute, so the both of you should go up to your room right now." Draco and Visco went up the stairs.

Harry opened up his book bag and took out Quidditch Through the Ages. And, the next few hours passed like minutes.

Harry looked up, "Ron, Hermione. You both are back early."

"No, mate. It's ten o' clock." Ron said.

"I told you both to be back here at reasonable time. You both still have to do homework." Harry said.

"That's what we were doing. Hermione dragged me off to the library after dinner." Ron explained.

"Ron, the library closes at nine." Harry said shaking his head. "You know what? I don't want to know. I'm going to bed. Good night Hermione. Ron?"

"I'm will be up in a second." Ron told Harry. Harry turned and walked up the stairs to his dormitory. He opened the door and heard the faint sound of snoring. After putting on his pajamas, Harry got into his bed and closed the bed curtains. He breathed deeply. it had been a very long first day back.

"Harry. Are you still up?" Ron asked after walking in and shutting the door.

"Yeah," Harry said. ['I wonder if he will notice that the two new Gryffindors are in are dormitory?']

"So those two new Gryffindors are in our dormitory, I see." Ron said getting into his bed.

"Yeah," Harry said.

"Who are they?" Ron asked.

"Ron I have already told you . . . you will find out tomorrow."

"Ok, 'night Harry." Ron said yawning.

"Good night." Harry said. A few minutes later he fell asleep.

* * *

"Malfoy! What are you doing here?" Ron said walking into the great hall and seeing Harry sitting next to Draco and Visco. "So, they are the new Gryffindors."

"Yes Ron." Harry said. Harry, Draco, and Visco had woken up very early in the morning and could not get back to sleep. So they had decided to go down to breakfast early.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy, and Mr. Riddle," Professor McGonagall stoped and raised an eyebrow at the name Riddle. "Here are your course schedules. "handing Harry, Draco, and Visco their schedules.

Course Schedule:
