Chapter 13 Sticking your Nose in other Peoples Business

Harry was awaked rather early. He saw the sun rise in the morning as he sat, fully dressed in the library, reading through a stack of books. The reason, he was trying to find out what could be hidden under the words of the Prophecy.

The doors to the library opened and a yawning Cassandra entered. It was 6:30 in the morning, and she expected to be the first one up. She tripped on the hem of her robe when she saw Harry sitting by the table, reading what looked to be thirty to fifty books.

"Good morning!" he called looking up, smiling.

"HI!" she said, yawning once more. Harry shook his head. And he had thought he was mad getting up this early.

They sat two tables from each other, working silently. Harry continued looking for clues over that weird Prophecy. Cassandra was doing all of the homework they had received.

Half an hour later they all met by the entrance of the Great Hall. Ron looked just awoken, Hermione rested her head on Malfoy's shoulder. Neville had his eyes closed. It could look like he was sleeping, standing up, but he was just trying to reach beyond the fogs from the future.

It was a typical morning mood by the table. And for the heirs, who had spent most of their time sleeping since they hadn't had that much sleep lately, the morning mood was worse then ever. Only Cassandra, who by some unknown reason now was wide-awake, tried to get the others into some kind of conversation. Only she failed every time. When she at last thought of that neither of the heirs was capable of so much as opening their mouths, she quietly went over to the Ravenclaw table in order to go and chat with some of the new girls. She had a rather interesting chat with Iris Blanche, a Ravenclaw in the same year as herself.

The bell soon rang, collecting the other students to class. The heirs thankfully didn't have any class until 10am, when they would have Elemental Magic. Cassandra sneaked of to the library. Ron, the real sleepyhead for the day started snoring in an armchair by the Gryffindor Chamber. Hermione went to take a shower, maybe washing away some of her drowsiness. Draco went out to the grounds in order to practise some Transfiguration. Neville sneaked down to Professor Snape's Potion store, since he was running out of Eucalyptus sap.

Harry strode the familiar corridors, not so sure of what to do. The others didn't seem that social this morning so he walked around, looking at the paintings and statues. When he reached the second floor, he could hear a BANG coming from the Charms classroom. Curiously he sneaked in.

"Now that was really unexpected!" Professor Flitwick squealed. "Boot! Please take Miss Patil to the Hospital wing!"

the Ravenclaw boy nodded and disappeared. When he passed Harry he nodded and smiled.

"What's going on, Professor Flitwick?" he asked. "Are you trying to blow up the whole castle or anything."

"No, no, not at all. We we're practising the ghost formation spell."

"The what!"

"Ghost formation spell. A Charm that temporarily makes the person turn into a ghost, or ghoul."

Harry could slowly believe what he heard. It was as if his brain was working slower then usual.

"How come we never learnt that?" he asked.

"Well, the Ravenclaws seriously asked me to demonstrate it for them, but as you could see, when Miss Patil tried, something happened. I'm not that sure of what."

He turned back to his class.

"Remember, the Incantation is Effingo Phasmalis! We don't want more accidents."

Iris Blanche pointed her silver white wand at herself and clearly said the incantation. Minutes later she was flowing in the air, yet no one could see her.

"Mind if I try?" Harry asked, guessing he knew what he had to do.

"Be my guest young Anemone" Flitwick said.

Harry muttered the incantation. First nothing happened, then he felt himself flow away, like if the wind had snatched him. He steered out from the classroom, hearing the professor squeal that the spell only wore for a quarter, so he should be careful with the walking through walls, thing.

Harry went straight towards the library, where he found Cassandra, reading a large battered book. Moving closer he saw that it was the Ravenclaws old diary. He saw she was adding something to it.

I am really unhappy. The one whom I fell in love with doesn't even look at me. What have I done wrong, why is he not interested. I pray to the sky and god he will one day. My dear, my love. Please notice me, please notice how much I love you. I am so unsure if he really does, well he is...

It all stopped there. Cassandra closed the book and walked away, heading for the Ravenclaw's secret chamber, in order to meditate and pray. Fr what he was pretty sure he knew about, still he didn't accuse the person he thought it all was about.

He felt himself return to flesh and blood. It was like leaving the paradise. Even if it felt weird going through walls and so on. Yet he wanted to know what people did when he wasn't looking. He knew people didn't see him, it was pretty cool being part ghost. He performed the charm again and hurried to see what the others did.

He went to the Gryffindor common room, floating through the ceilings and floors. He there spotted Ron in an armchair. How typical from that Gryffindor. He hesitated before taking a deep breath (know ghosts can't breath, but still he is part human, even for this) and shouted as high as he could.

"RON, GET UP YOU CRAZY SLEEPYHEAD!!!"

His voice echoed and the heir of Gryffindor fell out from the armchair.

"Wicked" he mumbled. "That sounded as Harry, except it was all echoing and stuff. That was weird."

Harry smiled as Ron walked out from the common room, his bag over his shoulder. He knew everyone still was tired, but they had to make out an example in front of everyone else. At least they shouldn't look as if someone had dragged them out from the dustbins.

He then wondered if he might pay a visit at the Potion masters Office. He thought he would manage before the spell would wear of again. Yet on his way, as professor Flitwick had warned him, the spell wore of and he got stuck, by his left foot, in the wall right beside the Slytherin common room. Panicking he threw an Invisibility charm on himself, just in time as Draco and Hermione arrived. Thankfully they didn't see him, but he knew if they got too close they surely would bump into him. Yet they stopped about five yard from him. He sighed relieved. He also could hear every word they used.

"Don't know if this is such a good idea, Draco. I mean, what would they think of me, I'm a Mudblood in their eyes."

"Don't worry about that, Draco said. "If they so much as whisper something against you I'll hung them in the ceiling. In fact, they better get used to this. We are going towards a new era. As heir to their founder at least I expect them to keep quiet. Then I maybe should start building up my reputation as well. You know they think of me as an traitor."

Hermione thought for a moment, before saying.

"Well, at least they can't do something to stop it. I mean, I think we were meant for being together, to heal a bond that has since long been broken."

"Between Slytherins and Gryffindors or Wizards and Muggleborns?"

"Both!"

Harry took a deep breath as they walked past him. He squeezed himself as close to the wall as he could get. When the two of them, finally had said the password and entered the common room, he sighed. The invisibility charm slowly wore of and he once again muttered the Ghost Formation. He wondered how things would occur.

Thankful for once again being released from the wall, he floated into the Slytherin common room, to find a most unusual scene. The Slytherins were all staring at Draco and Hermione. Most of them wore faces of deepest disgust.

"Traitor" many of the Slytherins whispered. Some just nodded, others seemed relieved, one example there was Blaise, who hadn't the same hate towards other blood. Himself he already was half blood.

"There is no crime committed" Draco said so much as staring into all eyes. The old lies may still lie deep into everyone's soul, but hear this. Whatever negative has been told about Muggleborns is as false as the dark lord himself. I don't know what Salazar might have thought about them, but know. Times changes, the magical era is soon to disappear. Can't we at least respect the once who will after us walk on this good earth. What is the real difference between them and us? They are breathing, they are walking the same earth. And they are as good, glorious and foul as anyone of us."

A few Slytherins listened carefully, their souls reawaken. Yet still most of them yawned, disagreed or whispered lies to each other.

Harry shook his head. Draco continued his speech on differences. Some things he said sounded really good, but many things could easily be rejected by a common Slytherin. He knew how unpopular Draco would turn out to become in the house he rightfully took care of.

The quarter passed, yet Harry didn't bother to replace the charm. He was angry, and his anger burnt in his veins. When he knew that the time was soon over he floated over to a darkened corner where his body became itself. He walked up to the scenery. The Slytherins who saw him almost threw themselves into the other direction, frightened of getting killed. Even if they all hated him, most of them feared him, just as they feared Draco.

"Harry!" Hermione said in disbelief.

"What are you doing here, Potter?!" Draco asked.

"Saving what's left of your loyally from your house." He whispered back so that only Draco and Hermione could hear. "We don't need a house to try to cut our throats while sleeping." He explained turning to the spectators.

"I guess you need to look for another heir, Slytherins. Don't it seem as if your beloved leader had gone to the roof."

Many heads nodded in reply. Some of them looked suspicious.

"Well, no more searching. You've found him. If that is what you so long have waited for, here he is, the heir of Merlin, new protector for this house."

Every Slytherin stared at him, looking horrified. Draco walked forward.

"You can't do that, it's my house after all."

Many heads nodded vigorously. None of the Slytherins wanted HIM as responsible heir.

"Fine! Fine! It was just a stupid decision of mine. Go on then Draco! Take care of these snakes if that's what you always wanted. I'll go back to my own place then."

He walked away and out from the common room. He could hear the cheers as he disappeared and a voice yelling "You rot Potter!" It all had gone as planned.

Ever since then, there turned out to become two different sides from the Slytherins. One who favoured Draco, and his way of thinking, thinking Muggleborns weren't that bad at all. It was a very minor group, one of them also had to be Blaise. The other group, the major parts neither favoured Draco, yet they surely hated to see Harry being the head snake.

As for Harry, he went to see how Neville had done, stealing all those potion ingredients from Snape. He arrived just in time for Snape to arrive in the scenery. He had a good silent laugh before the bell rang calling everyone to class. His problem was now, how in the world would he get back, the spell would still be working for another ten minutes.

When everyone turned up to Elemental magic, Harry was still missing. What no one knew was that he was there, in a ghostly form. Ten minutes later he dumped down into the Elemental Magic Master's lap. He sprang up, apologising deeply and explained it as this. He had been in a Ghost Formation Charm for the least fifteen minutes, and from ten of those he had been hovering over their heads. The others laughed at this, Harry felt rather annoyed.

"Could you teach me that spell? I've heard of it, but I still haven't found it in any of the books." Cassandra said.

"Page 312 in the book, Cassie" Ron said surprising everyone.

"How did you know?" she asked.

"Oh I didn't, not until the day Percy came home bragging about it. Yet, the Charm is sparely used since it wears of after such a short time, it's not in such good use."

"Say that to him" Draco said shaking his head towards Harry. Now he finally could understand how that heir had managed to get into his common room without anyone noticing.

Their lesson proceeded in silence, as most of them started wondering. Noticing how easy Harry had sneaked around they wondered if there was by any chance a way to lengthen the time for the spell. It would then be most useful for whatever they needed to do. AS the Elemental class dismissed they once again went in different direction. Neville went to the Greenhouse, to find some herbs that would help him cure the burns he had received from Ron's fires. Cassandra ran out to the grounds, in order to create a neat little storm that could dry her soaked hair, which she had received from Draco, using his powers to summon a dozen rain clouds over her head. Draco and Hermione went up to their rooms, in the Head tower. Ron, who had been sprayed with dust, went to take a shower, before yelling at Neville about his aim. Harry went straight to the Entrance hall, where he thought he could wait for the others.

So down by the Entrance Hall, he conjured a small bench on which he sat down on, picking up the star he once had received from Hermione. He wondered what he would do with it later. Also, that's when his pocket began to purr softly.

He hesitated before picking up the tiny little snake. It wriggled in his hand before going back to sleep. He smiled, that little thing had been one of his birthday gifts as well as the star. It yawned, as he perused it did.

He put it back into the bottom of his pocket. As long as he didn't put anything that might squeeze it, it was fine and never did anything except purr. He found that purr rather calming. Quite soothing. He was half asleep, when the others turned up, seating down beside him.

"Hello sleepyhead!" Hermione said, almost making him fall down from the bench in surprise.

"Hermione, don't do that!" he said, down from the floor. The others laughed, driving a lot of attention.

Cassandra opened the doors to the Great hall, with a simple Charm. "Are you guys coming?" she asked, stepping in. The others quickly followed.

During that day's lunch, the new pranksters made their first real mistake, also for once, the unveiled themselves in front of the whole school. Well, this is how it went.

The three Marauders entered the Hall, and sat down by the Gryffindor table in three different locations. They didn't even look at each other, yet the heirs, one of few who really did know, saw the equal grin on their faces. They all could feel trouble brewing, getting ready to boil over.

Indeed it did. Moments later, they saw that Colin had disappeared from his seat. They wondered what was going to happen. Surely they didn't see the Invisible Colin creep over to the teachers' table, to add some worms into Professor Snape's lettuce.

Everyone's heads turned towards the table as Snape turned into a gassy colour. He looked as if he had swallowed rat dung. Well, you can say he had. Professor Sinistra bent over to examine his table, not noticing Dennis stealing her goblet and switching it into a goblet full of extra-spiced watered chilisauce. When the Astronomy teacher drank, what she thought was her red wine, her face colour turned deep red. Everyone laughed their heads of.

The next victim became Professor Flitwick, who ended up in the air, being levitated up on his chair. Professor Sprout received a flower patch for hair. It all was very chaotic, until the pranksters decided to fool Dumbledore as well. It turned out to be a huge mistake. The old man waved his wand, the invisibility charm on the new Marauders disappeared and an invisible rope tied them up.

"I want to see you three at my office, when we have finished this excellent lunch." He said smiling. Indeed, the headmaster always enjoyed a nice prank.

When the marauders, now thankfully untied made their way towards the Gryffindor table, heads down, the hall was completely silent. Just then, Ron began clapping, thinking how honourable they had been, continuing this glorious side of duty. The hall to began clapping and cheering. This surely became a weird day for the unusual pack of trio.

After this unusual lunch, Harry, Ron, Neville and Cassandra made their way towards Divination. Hermione went straight to Ancient Runes. Harry was not in the misty mood, thinking of that room, to go to the lesson, yet Cassandra forced both him and Ron. Much had changed since they all had stepped into the triangle. Like one thing, Neville was now a fully qualified seer. In main opinion also the best.

The tower was as dimly lit and smelled of perfume. Harry could swear he even saw the clouds coming from the Divination teacher.

"Today, for you dreadful, longing, poor little creatures who have made it this way to the last year of this noble class, we'll begin by rehearsing what you have learnt during these lessons. Now, you all remember where it all started.

Harry sure did. A teacup, and that stupid grim.

And so the lesson went on, they all rehearsed and went through whatever they had done through all the years at Divination. When they all left, the first thing Harry did was to breath the clean air outside the tower. One more year, is all that's left. Only one year left with that woman and her stinking aromas.
