AkiretheGoddess –
I got mine at l:45 a.m. but I had to sleep that night cause I was going out that evening (the 16th). So I started at like 8:00 a.m. and read until 5:30 p.m. the I finished it the next day in like 2 hours. So, It took me like 10 ½ hours give or take. I almost dried at parts too. I was totally heart wrenching. I did cry during OotP when Sirius died, but then I was totally furious. He is my fave character. I luuuuurve him!
goddessa39 –
I don't know if I really like that whole idea of Remus and Tonks, but thanks for the support and the review…I'll think about it.
Professor Rose -
I have a question. I read the LoTR books but I don't remember them at all. I saw the movies and I really thought Gandalf died. What happened, cause I don't remember?
Your friends says? What about you? What do you say? Did you read the book? Because (not to be rude or offensive or anything) from the sound of your review, I have my doubts. Boring? How was it boring? I mean with the whole Sectumsempra thing and the Malfoy thing… Boring? Thanks for the review, though and keep me posted about that HBP forum thing. K?

Now On with the Chappie…..
Last Chapter…
Remus cleared his throat. "The position did look very suggestive, Harry, especially after Fred's comments before."
Harry quirked an eyebrow. "Sure, whatever. Anyway, what did you need, Moony?"
"You all really didn't put anything into my drink?"
"First off, that isn't what I said. I said I didn't put any Denken Serum in your drink." Remus looked stricken. "But no. None of us put anything in your drink. Promise. Marauder's honor!"
Remus smiled. "You look so much like James, right now. You act like him a lot too. And Draco, you are acting an awful lot like Sirius, lately." Harry, who smiled at the first comment, looked at Draco who looked back. They looked back at Remus, who laughed, and, shaking his head, left the room.
Chapter 20.5 – Revenge, Assignments, and Sophistication
(the other half kinda…not really…well some more any way)
Alone once again, they locked and sealed the door and Harry knelt on the floor to retrieve the box in which the Book resided. He opened it and wrote 'DRACO MALFOY' out in an elegant hand (that sound odd…hmmm…o well). This done, he shut the book and turned to the person in question. "Malfoy, repeat after me."
"Malfoy, repeat after me." Draco said with a smirk.
"Malfoy is a prick."
"Malfoy is a…Hey! Shut it, Potter."
"Sorry. Couldn't resist. Anyway. Repeat after me…I, Draco Malfoy…"
"I, Draco Malfoy…"
"…STOP! Wait a minute." Hermione cried. She stood and shoved both boy to their knees. She then grabbed both by the wrist and touch their hands, palm to palm. "Ron, get over here." Ron complied. She pushed him down and she knelt as well. She waved her wand and it hovered directly over the middle of the circle of their hands. She continued. "Alright, Draco, Harry, Ron, we are now going to make an Unbreakable Vow. Harry will lead. If any of us break this vow, we die a horribly painful death. Are you all prepared to Vow loyalty to the Marauders?"
They nodded. "Harry?"
"I Vow to always be loyal to the Second Generation Marauders, Hermione, Ron, and Draco, to the point of death if necessary. I will never betray and important confidence or secret. This does not however include ridiculous petty things or something dangerous that could cost someone their life. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!"
The other three followed, replace names as necessary. It was the first time any of them had heard Draco use Harry first name. What none of them noticed was the door opening again and Remus looking in. "Guys I forgot to–" He stopped. An Unbreakable Vow. "Holy Shit."
They trust one another more the we ever did. Remus thought sadly. If we had and we had thought to do something like this, Harry would still have a father and Sirius would never have gone to prison for a crime he didn't commit.
After they felt the magic surge that passed through them subside, the four just sat back on their heels and stared at one another. Remus cleared his throat. Four head snapped to look at him, four face filled with shock and a little guilt. He smiled softly at them all. "I forgot to tell you. I got a new job."
"What!" Ron, Hermione, and Harry all jumped to their feet.
Remus grinned. "I am going to be teaching Ancient Runes and you'll be getting a new and permanent DADA teacher."
"Who?" Draco asked, standing.
Remus' grin broadened. "Well," He said with his old Marauder smirk. "You'll just have to wait until tomorrow in class…And no, the individual in question won't be at the staff table."
"Fine." Harry pouted, then grinned. "Oh Moony…Please don't check back with us tonight. Yes I know you do a magic check on us every night around Midnight to see if we are in the castle."
Moony raised an eyebrow. "Well I guess I can skip one night, but if you do anything drastic, I may be forced to call…Sirius."
The four of them grinned and promised they would behave. Remus smiled and left. Draco, Ron, and Hermione eyed Harry questioningly. He grinned. "I do believe we are all going to Hogsmeade. Do you agree?"
Hermione favored him with a suspicious glare. "Why would we do that?"
Harry smirked the Malfoy Smirk.
Draco cringed, "Uh-Oh…whatever is coming out of his mouth next is going to be insanely obscene or will have an obscene double meaning."
Ron glared at him. "How the fuck do you know that? I'm his best friend and I couldn't say that with any amount of certainty."
"That would probably be due to the fact that you are you and also rather dumb. Did you look at his face? He's got the Malfoy Smirk plastered all over his face."
"There is some place I need to go… I never liked big chains, but I…What?"
The three stared at him in shock. Draco opened his mouth to speak, shut it again, swallowed, then turned to Ron. "Did I not tell you whatever came out of his mouth next would be obscene?" Draco turned back to Harry. "Do you realize how kinky that sounded, Potter?" He smirked and raised an eyebrow. "You don't like big chains? What about whips? Or handcuffs?"
Ron's jaw dropped and Hermione flushed scarlet, but Harry just flirted right back much to Ron complete horror. He lowered his eyelids slightly and smiled (seductively). "Which do you prefer?"
Draco, who had been drinking from a glass of water, choked. He looked at Harry who smirked again. "Well, well, well. You aren't afraid of anything are you, Potter?" He favored Harry with a genuine smile and laughed. "I'm not quite sure you are entirely straight, Potter. You rose to that bait very well, when Weasley here probably would have puked."
Ron did indeed look like he was going to be sick. He still didn't like Draco and to see him and Harry practically flirting…Erlack! Gross (I Hardily disagree I would probably be right there with Hermione drooling over the two of them, because that's what she was doing)!
"I have no comment." Harry murmured and grinned. He looked expectantly at Ron, who reacted just as he had thought. Ron fainted dead away. Harry and Draco both burst out laughing. Once Harry got himself under control, he turned to his girlfriend. "Herm, you don't find that little…exchange, for lack of a better word, appalling?"
"Judging from the shade of Scarlet she turned when I asked you about the handcuffs, she definitely didn't find it the least bit disagreeable." Draco grinned.
Hermione blushed faintly and murmured, "No actually, I thought it was quite sexy. If you two ever do decide to, what did I say earlier…Oh 'be gay together' I hope I am around to watch." The teenagers looked at her with mild shock, then looked at each other then back at her. "Or," She said, grinning now. "we could fulfill Fred wildest dreams and have a threesome."
Harry chuckled and shook his head. "I have something I wanna do in the village and I thought we could go to that little club. You know, the one with the Chinese décor and the hot music? What's it called?"
Draco smiled. "Silver Dragon"
"That's the one. What do you two say? I don't think Ron will be coming to anytime soon."
Draco nodded, but Hermione looked anxious. "Harry. That sneaking out of the school! That's a little more dangerous then pranks. We would get in Soooo much trouble!"
Harry sneered. "Hermione, darling, I have used an Unforgivable on a human being and watched him writhe in pain. I listened to him scream. And you think sneaking out of the school is dangerous? I could go to Azkaban if anyone found out what I did to Snape."
She nodded, gravely then smiled. "Okay then. I'm definitely in the mood to dance!"
Harry went to find Remus and explain what happened.
"Why did he faint, exactly?" Remus asked suspiciously.
"Um…He found out I'm bisexual. Oh and" He trailed off in an mumble Remus couldn't understand.
"And what…?"
"And Malfoy and I were flirting with one another. So he kinda fainted."
Remus just stood there with his mouth open and stared at Harry. Finally, he shook himself and said, "But aren't you dating Hermione?"
"Oh yeah. So?"
"So? What did she say about it?"
"She wanted to watch if Malfoy and I ever fucked."
"What! Hermione did?"
"Yeah, that our join us. It was quite funny actually. Considering who it was from."
"I am just going to pretend we never had this conversation. I really don't need to know this much about your sex life. Although, Talk to Sirius. You two can compare. I think you are turning into just as big a man-whore as he was."
Harry smiled smugly. "Definitely!"
Remus shook his head again. "I look in on Ron in a little bit."
"He was out like a light and probably won't wake for several hours. When he does tell him, we went to Sliver Dragon and we'll tell him about it tomorrow. Thank, Moony. I owe ya one!"
He turned and went to change for their trip to Hogsmeade.
