A/N: Here's the chapter I promised. And, again, I'm sorry for the length of
the last chapter, but I wanted this part to have it's own.
Thanks to Tara; crystal, lily, james, and sirius; Joss: Ahh! Too much writing! The pain! The agony! The hand cramps!; and bAbu grL!
Chapter title is a quote by Don Johnson.
Oh, the next chapter will be longer and should be up really soon, maybe even tomorrow. It's already partially typed so it shouldn't take long.

~"And what's the 'Orb of Tenus'?"
"The Orb is an ancient artifact that suppose to reveal who has the most power. But, it only chooses people on the side of light, so no Death Eaters or even You-Know-Who could ever be in the Order."
"I hate ter interrupt yer, but you got to get going," said Hagrid, looking at his watch. "It'll be dinner soon."~

The next week and a half past by quickly with not much action, something Harry was entirely thankful for. He was finally getting to act like a normal teenager - with Quidditch, detention, classes, and hanging out with his friends. Although he was still reading and researching more defense tactics than a normal teenager, he managed to push the prophesy to the back of his mind. But it couldn't last forever.
The day started normal enough. Harry woke and shuffled off to the library to return the books he bought, before going to breakfast. He never made it there however.
"Hiya, Harry." Hermione was waiting in the Entrance Hall and greeted him too brightly.
"Hello," Harry said suspiciously."What's going on?"
"Now, Harry, I want you to know, no matter what, I'm behind you." She looked nervous. "And so are Ron and Lisa and Professor Lupin and the Prefects and most of Gryffindor House...."
Harry sighed. "What's happened now?" When Hermione hesitated in answering, he pushed past her and entered the Great Hall.
The room, that was filled with whispering before, fell silent as Harry came in. He went over to the Gryffindor table and sat down across from Ron. His best friend refused to meet his eyes.
"What's going on," he repeated.
Meekly, Ron held out a copy of the Daily Prophet.

The Boy Who Lived-Not All There?
By: Sarah Endivia
Recent events have been brought to our attention that suggest Mr. Harry Potter is slightly insane. Potter, most known for his defeat of the Dark Lord, You-Know-Who, has been reported to be the source of the rumors circulating the Third Triwizard Task last June. According to several anonymous subjects, Potter claims that the Triwizard cup was a portkey and that it took him and the other Hogwarts champion, Cedric Diggory, to an unknown site. It has then be said that a Death Eater proceeded to kill Diggory and resurrect the Dark Lord. But how can we be so sure this is exactly what happened?
A source at the Ministry of Magic, who wishes to remain nameless, states that 'Potter has been spreading cock-and-bull stories for several years now. At the end of his third year, he even claimed that Sirius Black, the mass murderer, was innocent.'
Rita Skeeter, a well-known journalist for this newspaper, unearthed facts about Potter last year that do not put him in a good light. Several eye witnesses reported to her that Potter set a conjured-snake on a fellow student during the dueling club in his second year, thus, revealing himself to be a Parselmouth. Since the publishing of her controversial articles, Skeeter has mysteriously disappeared. Is there a coincidence?
This reported wonders why Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, would let such a student attend his school. Could Potter have some sort of control of Dumbledore?
The Ministry is looking into these allegations.
"Oh."
