A/N I'M BACK!!! I am SO sorry for not updating in almost a month. My life has FINALLY calmed down. I am going back to one a week updates and since I am on spring break I will get at least 2 more updates by Sunday. PLEASE STAY WITH ME! It will never happen again! Life is hectic sometimes. We all have to remember that we have lives outside of fanfiction. I forget that sometimes. I hope I didn't lose any of you. I have review responses at the bottom! It is 2:50 a.m now. I stayed up extra late writing this. I hope you all like it. The part where Harry is on a walk I thought up in my head for myself as I was actually walking under the moonlight...you will see. It was my birthday yesterday April 4th. I also bought a harry potter shirt from hot topic that says Muggle on it. I love it! I saw Hellboy and Ladykillers this week. Both were really good. Anyway...PLEASE REVIEW! Fanart done by my friend will be posted soon. I will let you all know. Her life is hectic too.

Interesting Conversations

~~

Harry didn't know what to do. His world was falling apart. Everyone knew he was a werewolf and he was to be expelled. Dumbledore told him just hours before. How could he be expelled from the place he loved so much? Hogwarts was his home. Dumbledore said that Fudge is expelling Harry because apparently the werewolves are taking sides with Voldemort. Dumbledore told Harry that he would work on letting Harry stay and not be expelled but to Harry it didn't look too good. Harry also asked the headmaster if he could break the news to Hermione and Ron. He agreed.

He was sad, lonely, and in an extremely negative mood after lunch when he decided to just wander aimlessly around and go for a walk around the castle. He wanted to go where it wasn't overly populated. He didn't want to be bothered. Harry didn't really know where he was going. He wasn't even paying attention until the candles around him dimmed incredible. He walked until he was in a corridor with no doors. He turned around as he realized that he was trapped. There was no door in front of him and to the sides of him, and even none from the direction he came from. He was unable to leave.

"Hello?" Harry called. He was about to call again when he thought of something quickly and slapped his hand to his mouth. It could really be a trap. He could not be in Hogwarts at all but instead he could have been captured some how and sent to Voldemort. But how did this happen? It looks like Hogwarts but it couldn't be. . . could it? Harry slowly made his way over to the wall and slid down in a sitting position. He curled his legs under him and put his hands over his head to try and block out all his thoughts and surroundings out. He needed to be brave and find a way out. He had to let his Gryffindor qualities show right then and just as he was about to open his eyes and stand up, he felt a hand on his shoulder. The person had a long black robe on so Harry immediately thought the worst. Harry jumped back quickly with his wand raised as he saw whom it was. He couldn't believe it. Stratus was a deatheater!

"You are a deatheater?" Harry spat in shear unbelief. He tried to hide his disappointment.

"What?" Stratus asked taken aback.

"Why are you here in a deatheater robe?"

"Potter, where exactly do you think here is?"

Harry looked at his supposedly evil professor with an eye raised.

"Potter, I believe I know what you are thinking and it is not true. You are not captured and I am most certainly not a deatheater. This is my hallway and I put a spell on to lock any intruders out and in. I didn't want students trying to sneak in my quarters. Are you alright?"

Harry looked around and let out a big sigh of relief as his divinations professor flicked his wands and familiar Hogwarts doors appeared.

"I'm fine. Sorry for coming into your hallway. I'll just go."

"No wait! It's all right. Something seems to be wrong. Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea or some butterbeer? I have to show you something."

"Um. . .sure," Harry said hesitantly. He was not sure he could trust the man but they were in Hogwarts. Harry followed him into a door, which Harry found it out to be the divinations classroom.

"It is just a shortcut for me. I don't have class for a while. Why don't you sit down? I will be right back. I will get us some butterbeer, unless you want tea that is."

"Butterbeer would be great," Harry said trying to smile.

Harry walked around the familiar room that had changed incredibly since Trelawney left. It was less colors of purple and pink but instead It had more cherry oak and forest green walls. There was colorful paint spattered all over the walls and the couches were tie-dye. There were no desks. It was very bright and smelled of smoke and honey. Harry saw a door that he didn't recognize before. It looked as if it had never been there before. Harry knew he probably should not open it but really . . .what was the harm? Harry opened the door and walked in. There were several paintings hanging everywhere. Harry never had seen so many spectacular works of art. He looked a little closer at what they were and he noticed that some were of him and his friends and others were of Hogwarts. There were several others that he did not recognize. Harry then saw the painting that he had seen many times before. It was now completed. All circles were filled and the background was painted like the night sky. There was a potions vial, a werewolf, a newspaper and camera, a Hogwarts crest, and owl and eagle, an amulet, a cloud and black dog. The inside big circle had Harry's name in it and a big lightening bolt.

"That is what I wanted to show you," Stratus said quietly from the door. The painting entranced Harry. It was clear to him what each thing represented. The camera and newspaper represented the public, the Hogwarts crest stood for Hogwarts finding out, the amulet was for Dumbledore and everything else was self-explanatory.

"You did this," Harry said. It was not a question but a statement. "I have been finding this by accident for a long time. It is finally done."

Harry turned around and looked Stratus in the eyes. They were friendly eyes but Harry could tell they held a deep secret.

"Why?" Harry asked simply.

"I know many secrets about this world Mr. Potter. Some would surprise you and some would relieve you. I get my inspiration and ideas for my paintings from my knowledge."

Harry thought about that but he didn't really understand it. "What do you mean? I don't understand"

"You don't have to understand now. You will understand soon."

Harry could do nothing but except that answer. He turned back around and started observing the paintings. They were so rich in color and full of texture. Harry was entranced. He looked at the one with all the circles and the painting of Dumbledore's amulet. It looked almost identical and as if it was the real one. Harry reached out and touched the canvas almost expecting to be able to take off the necklace and put it on. Of course that did not happen.

"What exactly is that?" Harry asked. "I have never seen it before recently. The amulet I mean. Dumbledore explained a little but do you know anything else? Does everyone know about it?"

"No. . . everybody does not know about it. I wish I could answer your questions but I really cannot. I am sorry," Stratus said.

"I don't understand," Harry said sadly.

"Like I said, you won't today but you will soon."

"Um. . .okay. I better get back. Ron and Hermione are probably wondering where I am."

"Wait a minute. I wanted to talk to you."

"Okay. . .what about?" Harry asked curiously.

"I don't know. You have been in my class this whole year but it seems we haven't exchanged more then two words the whole time."

"Well, do you talk to your other students like this?"

"Excuse me?"

"You have hundreds of other students. Do you ever talk to them?"

"Occasionally."

"Why do you want to talk to me?" Harry asked. H wasn't being rude or hateful. Harry truly wanted to know.

"I am not sure. I think it is because I believe we will be working together a lot in the future."

Harry thought he heard some kind of accent in the mans voice but it was only sometimes.

"Where are you from?" Harry asked suddenly.

"I am from Ireland. Why do you ask?"

"I hear an accent sometimes so I was just wondering."

"Yes, well I am from Ireland. I haven't been there in a while though."

"Do you miss home?" Harry asked.

"I miss some things but I didn't like it a lot of the time. I got a lot of unwanted and undeserved fame."

"You did?" Why?" Harry asked surprised.

"Well. . .I just was born. Because of who my father was I got all this fame from everyone. I could not go outside without being recognized and pointed at. It is good for me to get away from it all for a little while."

"I know how you feel," Harry said quietly.

"I know you do."

They were now sitting across from each other staring eye to eye. "Are you really a seer?" Harry asked after a minute. Stratus said nothing for what seemed like eternity. In reality it was only two minutes or so but it really did feel long. It wasn't time for Harry to know yet. The boy couldn't figure it out. No more clues were to be given.

"Yes," Stratus finally said. Harry was acting a little suspicious but soon he decided to accept the answer to that question and leave.

"Harry! Harry there you are! We have been looking everywhere for you mate," Ron exclaimed bouncing on Harry's bed later that day.

"Harry, do you need any help with your transfigurations homework? I am helping Ron in a little while."

"What is the point Mione? I am getting expelled remember?"

"Maybe you can live with Hagrid?" Ron suggested.

Hermione shot Ron a sharp glare. "Don't talk like that. It isn't official. Dumbledore is still working on it right? When has he failed before?"

"This is Fudge we are talking about Hermione," Ron said.

"Exactly. He is the Fudge who is idiotic, power hungry, arrogant and he doesn't know how to do anything. He is scared. Dumbledore will most likely scare him into seeing his point. They let Lupin go to school here right? Why would they not let Harry go here?"

"Hermione," Harry hesitated, "just give up."

"Am I talking to the Harry Potter I know and love? Harry! Wake up! I have never heard you talk like this before. Where is your positive attitude and faith in Professor Dumbledore?" Hermione demanded.

"I know Hermione. I know. I am going to go for a walk. I know I missed dinner but I will get something from Dobby a little later."

"Are you sure Harry?" Ron asked looking skeptical.

"I'll be fine you guys. I'll talk to you later."

Harry walked in the twilight around Hogwarts ground alone. The sun was unseen but the light was given off faintly. The moon was a blinding white and three-quarters full. Harry sat by the lake looking out on the moon reflecting off the water. It was cool. It wasn't too cold or too hot. It was just perfect for Harry. It was breezy. Harry sat there, as it got darker and darker. Soon the only thing that lit up the sky was the moon and several tiny twinkling stars. Harry thought the stars were amazing. He loved to stare at them as they blinked and twinkled. He stared at them like they were going to do something but of course they didn't move. They would never move. Small hazy clouds slowly slid across the night sky. The only thing Harry could hear was the swaying of the trees, the crickets and the occasional growl from creatures in the dark forest. Harry knew it was probably past curfew but he could not bring himself to get up.

"Potter, what are you doing out here?" Harry heard Snape say. Harry then realized he had fallen asleep. He was shivering, as it had gotten much colder and windier. "Come inside now. The teachers have been looking for you."
