A/N: Thanks for a bit of help on this The Lady Luthien

Harry laid awake and thought of what his decision should be. Finally, he fell asleep without a decision.

The next morning Harry was awoken by Snape. "GET UP! You stupid fool!" Snape snapped at Harry. " Breakfast will soon begin and you, won't be down there yet! Get to it! Get up! Get up!"

Harry did as he was commanded. He looked down and realized he hadn't gotten changed out of his robes from the night before. Quickly he smoothed his uniform to hide some of the wrinkles. Then, harry realized he no longer had to take orders from his professor. Harry was the Dark Lord, if he wanted that is. And in this situation being the Dark Lord seemed to be more appealing.

"No." Said Harry turning around.

"You bloody beast! Get to breakfast!"

"I don't have to listen to you at this current time and place when no one else is around, for I'm the Dark Lord." Harry quickly decided, not feeling like listening to Professor Snape.

"Oh. Go to breakfast before class." Snape said not knowing what to say. "The lesson is hard today. OH, wait, we are meeting with Voldemort. Now, hurry up. You need the food for... um... strength."

Harry left the room and walked to the Great Hall. He spotted Draco and silently sat across from him. Petunia was on the opposite side of the table busy chatting with her friends.

"Yes." Harry whispered.

Draco stared at Harry but then realized what he meant. " This doesn't change anything, does it?"

"No, just that your friends with the D.L." Harry whispered. " No one else knows it but you from the students. No one."

Just then Petunia spotted Harry and squealed in delight for spotting her boyfriend awake and seemingly in a great mood. "Hey Harry!" She whispered in his ear. Then kissed him on the cheek.

"Hey hun." Harry said grabbing a waffle and standing up. "I'll see you later, Draco. Gotta run!"

Harry sped off, walking quickly. Petunia followed quickly assuming she should follow because she hadn't been said goodbye to. Harry turned around to find he was being followed.

There goes my free time ,thought Harry. Oh well, she loves me. Someone really loves me and I think I might be falling for her.

The two were almost out of the Great Hall when Dumbledore began a quick but serious speech.

"Attention, All students MUST return to their dormitories immediately. The teachers are to lead them back and lock the portraits. Then, meet in my office. Now, get to it, quickly. There are no excuses!" His words echoed throughout the school because of the spell he had used to make his voice louder. He removed the spell and left to his office.

The students and professors quickly ran to the common rooms. The professors locked the portraits with an incantation that could not be broken with the password or the spell Alohamora. In the Slytherin Common Room no one but Draco, Petunia, and Harry were left. The rest were in the Dormitories.

" Harry you're going to Hogsmede with me, right?" Petunia asked.

"Yah. I guess. If you give me another kiss." Harry replied playfully.

" OH Harry, you're so childish!" Petunia giggled and began to pull him closer so she could kiss him on the lips.

"You have an audience!" Draco laughed realizing Harry was starting to like Petunia.

" Sorry Draco. I can't resist. She's too cute!" Harry said leaning closer to Petunia for a kiss.

"OH Harry!" Draco said and went up to the boys' dormitory to sleep.

What's going on down in Dumbledore's office?, Draco wondered leaving for dreamland.

"Okay, now the meeting will begin." Dumbledore, well, began. " We've all known Voldemort is again rising. He was spotted a week ago seventy miles away." A few surprised gasps from the staff erupted. " Now, I have sat and thought. What are we to do? We can't do anything but keep a look out and keep the children as safe as we can." Dumbledore was interrupted by Snape.

"What if he is here in the school now?"

" Good Question." Dumbledore replied. " We can't do anything now. Just let us keep watch and remember our spells.

"Are we to warn the children?" Professor Arathorn questioned.

"No. We must only do so if it comes to the extent that the children must be sent home. We don not know where Voldemort is at this current time. He might be near the school. He might not be. The children will be missing many classes to be taught defense spells. I will call them, years and houses mixed. First years are too young. Therefore, they must be with older wizards or witches at ALL times. Snape and Arathorn, the new D.A.D.A teacher will be helping me. As of that, tomorrow and the next few days of Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes will be canceled."

"Have you talked to the ministry?" Asked Hagrid.

"Yes, I have talked to the ministry. They approve of this plan. They say whatever it takes to keep the children safe." Dumbledore said. " Are there anymore questions?"

"I have one. There was a rumor that He Who Must Not Be Named was looking for an equal. Is this true?" Asked Professor Arathorn, engaged in her newly assigned job.

"Yes. He might have already found one, but I am not positive." Dumbledore said gravely. " Go get ready for your classes. The rest of the day will start in twenty minutes. OH and don't forget to relock the portraits tonight at nine. Protect the children as much as you can." Dumbledore grabbed Snape on the way out.

"I know you'll keep a watch out. I can trust you." Dumbledore whispered.

Snape smirked after leaving the room. Lord Voldemort would be in the castle. Would the children be safe? For now... Snape gathered some things from his office and prepared for class.
