"Riddle? But that's-" Ron stammered looking at Visco.
"Weasley do you have a problem with my name?"
"No just... Harry?" Ron said turning to look at Harry. "Do you know who this is?"
"Yes," Harry paused, "Voldemort's son."
"If that's what he is, why are you sitting with him? If you have not remembered his father killed your parents, and was the reason snuffles is died." Ron said.
"Sirius Ron not snuffles," Harry sighed, "and yes Ron I am aware of what his father has done to my family." Visco flinched at the word father.
"Then why you sitting with... with him?" Ron gave a disgusted look in Visco's direction.
"Drop it Ron," Hermione said.
"No-"Ron started saying, but then Dumbledore stood up to talk.
Dumbledore cleared his throat, "two students from Slytherin have been moved into Gryffindor. I hope that you all will make Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Riddle feel welcome in their new house." Dumbledore looked in the direction of Visco and Draco, nodded and sat back down.
"No Hermione," Ron said raising his voice, "I will not drop it." Ron stood up, "I don't think I can be in the same room as this murderer right now. I will see you later Harry."
"But Ron you don't understand," Harry said trying to convince Ron to stay.
"Oh I understand. You have just explained everything clearly by sitting with them," Ron turned and walked out of the Great Hall with Hermione at his heals trying to plea with him.
"Great friends you have there, Potter." Malfoy sneered.
"Shut it Malfoy," Harry said in time to see both Visco and Draco walk out of the Great Hall.
Draco and Visco walked out of the Great Hall. Lilly Daisy came running up to them and gave them both quick hugs. She was really excited about something. Her eyes were shining and she had a huge smile on her face.
"Hello Lilly," Visco said.
"Like hi! Oh my gosh I can't believe it! You are like now in the house as me!" Lilly said with great excitement.
"Yes now we are in the same house as you." Visco said.
"What is your first class today, Lilly?" Draco asked.
"Um", Lilly said taking out her schedule. "Potions. I'm really excited, I have always wanted to like make a potion!"
"You will have to watch out for Snape." Draco said getting a confused look for Lilly. "Oh, he loves picking on Gryffindor. But if you do everything right you will be ok."
"Thank you", Lilly said excitedly, "have a great day!"
"Yeah you to", Visco said. Lilly skipped off to Potions, while Visco and Draco headed to other direction for transfiguration.
"You are in a N.E.W.T level class. If you don't take this class seriously you will be moved out of this class." Professor McGonagall said at the start of the lesson. "Today you start learning the basics of making something out of nothing. Repeat these words after me. RAPEREO.
The class repeated her with a loud RAPEREO.
"Remember to say it correctly. I don't expect any of you to get it on the first second or even third try." She paused and looked around the class. It was made up of mostly Gryffindors, but there were few Ravenclaws and just one Slytherin. Everyone was looking up at her rapt attention.
"To make something reappear you need to think about the object you want and say the spell. Before you start one other thing the only way for this to work is for the person saying the spell concentrates on what they want very hard. Because of this I want it completely quiet."
Harry tried and tried but every time he got the same results, nothing. By the end of class no one had gotten anything, not even Hermione who could normal gotten anything she tried on the first try.
On their way down to Care of Magical Creatures, Hermione was going on and on about the lesson and how exciting it was.
"This is the hardest and most advanced thing I have ever tried! I wonder if you can make people come back. Harry? Where are you going? You are going to be last for your next lesson." Hermione said as Harry turned around and headed back to the Transfiguration classroom.
"I have to check something. Please tell Hagrid that I will be late." With that Harry ran down the hall and back into the class he had just left minutes ago.
"Professor can I ask you a question?" Harry asked as he entered the room suddenly making the Professor jump.
b"Yes, Mr. Potter what is it?" Professor McGonagall said.
"Well... um. With the spell you taught us in class today. Can you also make people appear?" Harry asked.
"Well Mr. Potter. Has this got to do with your parents and wanting to see them again?" Professor McGonagall responded.
"No. I just." Harry paused. The professor looked at him and nodded for him to continue. He a deep breath and started talking. "I just want to see Sirius again. I never got to say good-bye."
"Sirius? Sirius Black the murderer?"
"Yes Professor, but he was not... not a murderer. He was my godfather." Harry paused again. Speaking about his godfather was very hard for him to do. He took another deep breath and started again." And a good man. He was innocent. Sent to Azkaban without a trail, that would have proven his innocence." Harry looked down.
"Oh now I remember seeing him at one of the... the-you-know-what meetings. I never knew he was dead when did this happen?" Professor McGonagall asked with much curiosity. She also trying to sound soothing at the same time, but this did not work.
"At the end of last year, but I really don't want to talk about it. Can you please answer my question, Professor?"
"Sorry Harry there is no of doing this kind of magic on any human." Said Professor McGonagall.
"But he is died, nothing can happen to him." Harry said trying to get the answer he wanted, but Professor McGonagall shook her head no.
The fifth year class was now entering the room. Harry slowly turned and walked out of the door.
"Harry? Harry!" Someone screamed. Harry whirled around to see who had called his name. Ginny Weasley was standing behind him. As Harry lifted his face she could see his eyes were watery and deep in thought. She pulled him into a friendly hug and whispered into his ear. "We all miss him, but Harry but it's no good to dwell on dreams and forget how to live. Remember never forget him, he will be with you always, Harry." Ginny slowly pulled away and looked into eyes and gave him an encouraging smile, and walked into the classroom.
"Potter I think you should be heading to your class. I do believe it has already started." Professor McGonagall said. Harry headed outside for his care of magical creatures.
Hagrid had gotten the job of teaching only two years before, still seemed like he had never taught a lesson is his life. He was not a normal teach like the rest of the staff at Hogwarts, as he would bring to class the monsters instead of the normal, non-dangerous magical animal. Harry hoped that this year would different.
In Harry's first year Hagrid had tried raising a dragon in his wooden house. This event was still very clear in Harry's mind not only because he gotten detention for trying to sneak the dragon out with the help of Hermione, but also because that was the first time had been in the forbidden forest. Harry, at the time, had hoped it would have been his last but this was not so.
In his second year Harry along with Ron and Hagrid's huge black dog Fang had gone in the forest one more time, but this time unlike his last had been on their own accord. They followed the spiders just like Hagrid had told them and came face to face with another one of Hagrid's "pets". The massive spider, Aragog, had nearly been their end but at the last minute Mr. Weasley's old car drove them to safety.
"Harry good you are here," Hermione said, snapping Harry back into reality. "Hagrid! Harry's here." Draco sneered and walked over to where the Slytherins were sitting, followed closely by Visco.
"What are you doing over here?" Crabbe said moving away from Draco with a look of discuss on his face.
"Why can't we be here? We are your friends." Draco said in response.
"Were our friends. You both are now Gryffindors. I will not be a friends of one." Said Crabbe moving still farther away, "Why are you still here?"
"We have just changed houses. Its not like we have changed." Draco snapped.
"Oh from what I have heard the reason you changed houses was because you," Crabbe pointed at Visco. "You wanted to betray the Dark Lord, your father. And you", Crabbe turned to Draco and pointed at him. "Because did not want to follow the Dark Lord, you did not want to be a deatheater and serve the Dark Lord like your father." Crabbe turned and walked away from Draco and Visco who looked to stun to talk.
"Everyone be quiet for a moment. Ok. Today I'm going to teach you all about the phoenix. Does anyone know anything about the phoenix?" Hagrid said to start the lesson. He looked around at the class. Half of them were raising their hands. "Yes Hermione?"
"The Phoenix has four magical properties. Their tears have powerful healing powers, they can live to an immense age, by bursting into flames when its body is dieing and raising from its ashes as a chick. Their song brings courage to the pure heart and strikes fear in the hearts of evil. Their last magical property is that they can disappear and reappear at will." Hermione said sounding like she had swallowed a book.
"Good job Hermione, ten points to Gryffindor." Hagrid said, Draco glared at her but then remembered he was now one of them and gave her a quick smile as she look his way.
The rest of the lesson Hagrid told the class about the history behind the phoenix. At the end of class Hagrid assigned the class a three-foot essay on the phoenix.
After lunch the five Gryffindors split into two groups. Hermione said good- bye to Harry and Ron and headed in the direction of her Arithmancy, followed by Visco who did not look too happy with his company. Draco, Harry, and Ron on the other hand headed towards the North Tower for divination. They reached a trap door and looked expectedly up, waiting for something. The trap door opened and a ladder descended from it. They climbed the ladder and entered the small room at the top.
This room was a lot different than the other rooms at Hogwarts. Instead of desks and tables there were armchairs clustered around coffee table that were located all around the room. The air was hot and smelled heavily of perfume. The only source of light came from a large fireplace that was located in the front of the room, all the windows had thick drapes over than.
"Now if you will find your sits we could begin." A misty voice said. A glittery beetle emerged from behind a large armchair at the front of the room. But at a second glance this was a woman. A very thin woman who wore large glasses that magnified her eyes several times their natural size. Around her shoulders was draped a shawl. To add to her completion she wore on her neck to many chains and beads to count, and on her fingers and arms rings and if possible more beads and chains. She was the teacher who taught Divination, her was Professor Trelwney.
"The next few weeeee...." Professor Trelwney stop mid sentence. She fell back against her armchair, her eyes rolled up into the back of her head.
"Professor," someone yelled, but she did not seem to be able to the person. Lavender, one of the few students who took her class seriously, jumped up and ran to Professor Trelwney's side. "Professor, are yo..."
Professor Trelwney started to talk, but in a voice unlike her own:
"A father and his only son, this is where the story and starts and it all ends. Six people will come together, and become friends . . . One shall die in the place of another . . . The second friend shall be loved by many . . . A friend . . . One is a traitor to both friends and foe . . . Gifted with the blood of two enemies . . . The last of the six will have the power to defeat over darkness . . . Time . . . Only time . . . Only time can tell the truth."
Most of the class was now standing around looking at her shocked. Only three people had stayed sited. Ron and Draco stayed because they just did not care what happened to the Professor, and Harry because he was too shocked to stand up. Harry had witnessed this same thing happen at the end of his third year. Professor Trelwney had predicted that Voldemort would rise again with the help of one of his servants. This had come true. Harry knew she had just made her third real prophecy.
Professor Trelwney stood up and gave herself a mental shake. "I wish that none of you repeat anything that has been said in this class room." She said starting off, her voice shaking but everyone knew she was being serious. "If I find that any of you have said a word I will take it upon myself it see that the person is expelled. You may go." There was a rush to get out of the door. Clearly everyone in the room wanted to forget what had just happened.
I do not own any of the characters, they are all J. K. Rowling's except for Visco and Lilly Daisy.
