A/N: I've returned from vacation and set to work on this right away, almost right away anyway, it is shorter than what you probably expect, but that's due to the fact the teaching is next chapter. I know I said this chapter would have the teaching, I decided to do that next chapter and work something in that is needed early in the story, for it will become a big part later on. So don't be angry the teaching chapter should be up shortly, and I want to thank all my wonderful reviewers, I'll try not to disappoint. Also if anyone would care to read my other story and review, I will make both of the next chapters longer, longer for this and that. The story is called Harry Potter and the Land of Erenda. Erenda is my own created land and will be taking up about as much time as this so, updates may be slightly slower. I'm going to do reviewer responses next chapter, that way can get this one out and begin editing the next, thanks though to everyone who is thoughtful enough to review.

The Unexpected

In the headquarters of the order of the phoenix, two of the members were talking amongst themselves. They had waited until the house occupants had left. It took them much longer than they would have liked, the werewolf barely ever left, and after being rejected the job as defense teacher at Hogwarts they were in a foul mood. It seemed as if Dumbledore didn't trust them as much as he led on, for there was almost always another occupant within the house, the master would not be pleased. The first man was sitting in a large reclining chair, much too big for him and watching his fellow occupant with a spark of malice hidden beneath the façade of innocence and good. The yellow eyes held hidden power and a slight twinkle showed that he was at the moment plotting something. The other man, who sat in a chair that seemed to be a few sizes to small and made more for little children rather than this big man he also sat thinking, or trying to think, but all that he was able to manage was a stupid grin plastered on his face and a lot of none useful thoughts floating through his dismal mind. Besides wearing the dumb look that was definitely not a façade he was fingering a large ring that was on his ring middle finger, he didn't realize that it was supposed to be on the ring finger, and people often got mad when he went around waving his ring in peoples faces, you would too if you thought he was insulting you. Both of these men for they were men had infiltrated the Order, they didn't work for Voldemort nor Dumbledore, and they didn't work for the Core either, which put them in a different group, and the leader of the group had allied himself to someone that had recently disappeared. These two men were of course Korg Grath and Zet Resh, and they like the Core, had twisted and corrupted bodies, they however were part of the recently formed Core Resistance, the leader a cunning individual whose real identity was known by few, she was known as Blythe and had a hidden agenda like most of her followers. It was she who Korg and Zet had been trying to contact, they were finally alone for the first time they had arrived at Order headquarters. Zet got up off his chair and went over to the fireplace, he pulled out a small pouch of what looked like floo powder and flung it in the fireplace, the powder was not the normal color however, it was black with small specks of gold it was flung in and bird appeared.

"Ah. Wrong Number." Korg said stupidly, while Zet just rolled his eyes. The bird looked at them for a few moments and then flew off, a few moments later it returned with its master, clad in black cloth face hidden by non see-through veil. The women looked at them questioningly and before either Korg or Zet could speak she addressed them.

"Korg. Zet. It has been a while. How goes everything?" She asked in a sickly sweet, but angry voice.

"Uh. Good?" Korg asked scratching his chin.

"Idiot." Zet whispered under his breath. "Your highness everything is going according to plan. We have successfully infiltrated the Order and they do not suspect a thing." Zet said in a I'm-better-than-you voice.

"Shud Up! Zet. I'm in charge! Uh. Everything is okay and we have infil, infiltai, gone in the Order." Korg said causing Zet to groan.

"Then may I ask why it has taken so long for you to get back to me?" She asked it coming out more like a hiss.

"Because. Because. Uh I forgot. Why is it again Zet?"

"Because these idiotic Order members never take the time to live a life and leave the blasted headquarters." Zet said and took a breath to continue, but was interrupted by Korg.

"Shadd Up Zet! I'm in charge! The reason is the people here never leave?" Korg questioned and cocked his head expectantly.

"Whatever. Have you found any information about are disappearing Ally?"

"No." Korg said.

"I see." she paused for breath before continuing. "Then why is it that you contacted me?"

"Old Man Lemon Drops, has been having us try to find these three heroes who took on sixteen death eaters. If I'm not mistaken the one looks like a magi, the man fought like one and even dressed similar to one, I was under the impression that there were no more?" Zet asked expectantly.

"This is news indeed. Continue searching for them, but don't forget about the boy, the other three are mere mudpuppies next to the boy, but they could make good allies never the less. Keep me updated, try to contact me in a few months, or if any dire news comes up. Nothing about how good the pepperoni pizza is." The last was said to Korg who looked at her stupidly.

"But it was good. You would have liked it too." Korg said and Zet rolled his eyes again. When they had first arrived they had to learn to live like a normal person and eventually discovered the food that the people ate, he had called her right away and you could say she was definitely not happy, for he had interrupted an important business proposition with Aslio, luckily he had agreed to sign on with the resistance or he would have had to have been killed.

"Who cares about the stupid food? Don't worry your highness you won't." Zet glared at Korg who smiled stupidly.

"See that I don't." Blythe finished the conversation and heard (much to her annoyance) right before ending the connection something about roast chicken.

(Revelations)

The room Harry had received the previous night was in all actuality quite relaxing, yet it was extremely boring as well. The room was big, about as big as the dormitories to his previous dorms, apparently Dumbledore had wanted to give him one of the better rooms. The only unfortunate thing about it was that it was farther away from his office and teaching room than he would have liked. It seemed he had been given one of the empty towers, and although it did give him a nice view of the grounds, it wasn't what he needed. On the bright side at least none of the students would be likely to discover his identity, the teachers wouldn't for that matter either, it was way too far away, and the password Dumbledore had given him had been changed. His password now was in parsel-tongue and as he knew, no one but himself and Voldemort could speak it. With that fact in mind he made the password as simple as possible, like with the chamber of secrets he made the password Open in the snake language. The room seemed not to have been in use for quite a while and the doorway had a painted raven on the door with a badger with a badger as the doorknob. Note the 'had' Harry had made a few changes to the room, most of them included the inside and getting rid of Dumbledore's not to subtle spells, he changed the door however and replaced the raven with a lion and the badger with a snake. The snake was there so that if any students did find his room they would see that it had the two school rival animals together, he did put another raven and badger in the corners of the door as well, but the snake and lion were the most noticeable. He had put his stuff away the night before, including his clothes and relics, he still kept the goggles and made them into glasses ready to be switched to one of the six visions if needed, he packed those away in his robes. He left the rings on his fingers just incase, he had learned to expect the unexpected, you get used to it after living with Sirius and Eidon. He had his lesson already planned out in his head, he probably should have written it down and got the supplies needed ready, but he was too tired, and wouldn't need much for the lesson anyway. He had put on another set of robes, exactly the same to his previous set that he had worn in. As he was leaving the room he heard hissing in the pipes, it was Rehska singing. Anyone else would have found a singing basilisk funny, but as to most people it came out as hissing and sort of made it more frightening. Luckily however he was alone and no one else was listening to her singing. He started heading down towards the Great Hall for breakfast talking to Rehska as he went.

"Master. These chambers are quite nice." Rehska hissed pleasure in her voice.

"I'm glad you settled I so well. And when will you start calling me Harry?" Harry grumbled, he was feeling a bit nervous of getting ready to teach.

"I shouldn't calls you that. You are my Master and I live to serve." She said and continued quickly before Harry could respond. "Besides, it is not safe for me to be calling you Harry. There may be other snake talkers with in this school."

"I've already told you, you are my friend, and besides there's no need to worry, I went to school here for five years, and was the only snake talker here."

"That you know of." Rehska said, clearly making her point known.

"Alright, alright. If you won't call me Harry, what about Darin? At least while we're at Hogwarts.' Harry said quickly.

"Very well master." Rehska sensed that Harry was about to say something, and so beat him to the chase. "Very well master Darin."

"That's a bit better I suppose. You will need to work on it later, alright?"

"As you wish."

"Good. Now have you sensed any death eaters in this school?"

"Ah cutting right to the chase master." Receiving a glare from Harry she added. "Darin."

"Yes. I need to know, most of the people here I knew when I was a student, and I don't know who to actually trust teacher wise, although Severus is a lot nicer to Darin than he is to Harry, wouldn't it be ironic if he found out who I really was?" Harry bit off a laugh, imaging a furious Snape who looked at him with anger and shock, trying not to say something to cause his precious basilisk ingredients and defense against the dark arts job to vanish. Oh would he be angry, or maybe he wouldn't, if he really was a Guardian. Only time would tell.

"Yes. Very funny master." Rehska said hoping he wouldn't berate her again. Fortunately for her he seemed to be busy trying to get one of the portraits to quit following him around, she knew nothing of this.

"What did you say?" Harry asked after a few moments and finally getting the annoying portrait of a jester to leave.

"Oh nothing." Rehska said resuming sliding down the pipes, following the mental link she had with her master to direct her to correctly following him. "As of the moment I'm pretty sure there is only two death eater within this school."

"What! I was almost positive there were none, but Snape here, who are they?"

"The first person who I'm talking about is not necessarily in Hogwarts and while quite a few students smell of the dark arts, none have the mark.

"So it's a teacher then?" Harry asked wondering who it could be.

"No. Like I said they are not in Hogwarts, or at least not all the time, it smells old, but not that old, you will be needing to watch who visit's the school, as they are not here now, I'm not sure who it is."

"I'll take note of that. You said there was another?"

"It grieves me to tell you this, as I know how fond you are of the students."

"So the next one is a student?"

"Yes."

"I feared it was so. Well what house are they from?"

"You do not automatically assume it is from Slytherin?"

"No as I said I might have once thought it a Slytherin, but know in my heart that this is not one."

"Right you are master. I have not been able to pinpoint the exact student and am not even sure which house it is from, but I know it is one of two. I'm pulling unfortunately for the second one. So I will keep a watch on both houses and try to find the student. I will let you know when I believe I know who it is and you can take it from there."

"Very well what are the two houses?" Harry asked already thinking of who it might be.

"The first one is Ravenclaw." Rehska said.

"It makes sense. The crave knowledge the most, and knowledge is a type of power, they must think that Voldemort will win, which one reason I can see a Ravenclaw from going over to that fiend. What is the other house?" Harry asked, but in his heart he knew, it seemed only right for the legacy to continue.

"The other house is Gryffindor." Rehska said silently. Harry sighed and hoped it was from Ravenclaw, but it seemed someone had pulled a Pettigrew.

"Damn." Harry cursed opening the door to the Great Hall. He hissed a quick farewell to Rehska and entered. Like the night before every head turned his way and he had to bite down on his tongue from bursting out laughing. It was hilarious even the Slytherins looked somewhat fearful of him. He gave a silent nod to the Headmaster and went to sit down at the table. He looked around at the students who continued to stare and he glared back at them causing them to turn away he did this to each table, but everyone could notice he glared longer and harder at the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor tables.

Dumbledore also seemed to notice this and realized that Darin had discovered something that must have been bad. Harry had told Dumbledore before he went to bed that he would have Rehska search for any and all death eaters and would let him know in the morning if there were any. Dumbledore sighed realizing that there was indeed a death eater within in his school, he stood up.

"Good morning Professor Blaze. Is there anything you would like to share with us?" Dumbledore asked and Darin looked into his eyes and nodded. Most of the students were looking at Darin and Dumbledore with confusion so he decided to lessen the confusion a bit. "As you know, Professor Blaze has quite some power, and is a professor, what you don't know is that he also owns part of the school. Yes Mr. Weasley it means that he is a direct descendent of one of the founders, and is therefore given more power than even the headmaster, thankfully he has agreed to not use these privileges unless he deems it is needed. He also took it upon himself to find out if there are any death eaters among us." The whole student body shifted nervously looking at their neighbor. "Mr. Blaze would you mind sharing with us your discoveries?"

"Not at all Headmaster. As some of you may remember, I said I was not a death eater and that my snake would not harm anyone, anyone but a death eater that is. She is a special snake and through training can recognize the scent of the dark arts." Harry paused watching a lot of students shift many from the Slytherin table, he resisted an urge to smile. "Dark arts are different from the dark mark, you will here exactly what I have to say about the dark arts in class later. The dark mark gives off an extremely strong scent to snakes, dark creatures in particular, and it is not only Voldemort's (most of the people flinched) mark, but others as well. I would like to say that there are none with a dark mark here, alas that is not the case." Harry watched as the Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff students turned to the Slytherin table, the students at that table sneering back at them. "I do not know if you all forgot what I said last night abut the houses, but I meant it. You are doing it again and I would ask that you stop. Dark Wizards may have been created out of the Slytherin house in the past, but that is not the only house to have death eaters. I would suggest that you quit looking over there at this time. It is not coming from the Slytherin table." Harry watched as eyes widened and mouths dropped, and the Slytherins also seemed to be surprised by this statement, the other houses looked around at each other and then at the teacher table, the teachers though were just as confused as the students and started trying to pick out any student who may have turned bad. "For safety purposes I will not disclose the house where said death eater is, you know it is not a Slytherin and I will tell you now it IS a student. I have been able to narrow it down to two houses and Rehska will be searching for the death eater, I hope whoever you are have a good reason. I shall not disclose which of the two houses, but urge all of you to keep an eye out, and also don't always go accusing the Slytherins for things. I figure that is enough news for the moment, I will see some of you in class later." With that said Harry gave a quick nod to Dumbledore and Snape and left the Great Hall, leaving a bunch of frightened and nervous students behind.

(Draco During Revelations)

Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle had entered the Great Hall early as usual. Draco was using it as an excuse to get away from Parkinson, she took her time getting ready every morning, and it was one of the only times he could be by himself. Not that he didn't like Pansy, it just wasn't in that way, it felt so good to get away from her constant nagging, pushing, and whining. At least now he was alone. Being the first one in the Great Hall had its advantages, one being he could think without any interruptions. One of the girls last night had sworn she saw a basilisk in the girls dormitory last night. She apparently had forgotten all about the new defense teacher. The poor girl was in hysterics, not that he cared, he found it quite entertaining. Professor Snape was sitting at the staff table eating quickly, Draco learned long ago that Professor Snape was on a weird schedule, he especially liked to eat quickly just so he wouldn't have any interruptions, and after eating would be able to freely take points and give detentions by circling the other house tables. Draco didn't find anything about Professor Blaze other than that he already knew, and the more he thought about the less he realized he really did know. Draco was pondering on what Darin had told him earlier, it seemed like a way out, especially after the fighting, but what was the catch? There was always a catch, his father had always told him. "Never agree to something before you know what is needed in return, find out first and use it to your advantage, that is the way of a Malfoy." The more he thought about it the more he realized his father was actually right to that extent, but he was wrong too. Thankfully his father was still in Azkaban and would never find out his thoughts of abandoning his father's bootlicking footsteps, it was just him and his thoughts. Draco was aroused out of his thinking by a snort and a large slam. It seemed that Crabbe and Goyle had finished eating, at least for the first time, and had gone to their traditional arm wrestling, Draco found it so muggle-like. 'Ah well not alone.' Not that he could really tell most of the time Crabbe and Goyle were just dumb brutes and didn't do much, though they did have some good points.

"Knock it off. Can't you see I'm thinking here?" Draco snapped at the two, the two in question snapping their heads up and murmuring a small, "Sorry Draco." They of course went back to what they were doing. Draco sighed irritably watching as other students began piling in. As usual the Ravenclaws were the first of the houses to arrive, followed by part of the Slytherin and then Hufflepuff. The rest of the Slytherins piled in and Draco fervently hoped that no one would talk to him, he saw Pansy start to walk over and quickly dragged a confused Blaise down into the empty seat next to him. Pansy looked at him sadly and then went to sit by Bulstrode. The Gryffindors began entering now and then he saw two of his favorite people. He didn't like them one bit, but at least they could actually converse insults with him. Draco got up and headed over to the Gryffindor table, Crabbe and Goyle following a minute later.

"So the Weasel and Mudblood have finally decided to grace us with their divine presence." Draco bowed mockingly and watched Ron glare at him, while his cronies laughed stupidly. "Oh that's right, I'm sorry your just the poor slaves of your king. Oh of course only one of your being could cause such a disgrace that you actually pay your king to hire you, what the rest of your family not shameful enough." He knew he had hit a button of one Ronald Weasley who was only held back Hermione and Ginny.

"Get lost Malfoy!" Ginny said to him.

"Oh I'm hurt, don't you care about me." He hissed back. Ron seeming to have calmed down and was able to retort.

"Why would we care about a slimy git of a death eater!" Ron yelled the Great Hall falling silent, most having been watching the meeting since the beginning. Ron could have sworn he saw something similar to true hurt in Malfoy's face, but it vanished quickly.

Draco was seething inside, how dare that blood traitor call him a death eater, 'maybe everyone already thinks I am one? What do I do?' Draco had drawn his wand and was about ready to throw a curse at Ron, when someone else started speaking.

"He is not a death eater! How dare you call him that, just judging him by his father! Didn't any of you here what Professor Blaze said last night? He would know if there is a death eater here, and he said there wasn't. So don't go calling people death eaters with out reasonable proof!" Draco looked toward the sound of the voice and saw a Hufflepuff student yelling not at him, but for him. He felt a brief spark of thankfulness go through him, but that ended quickly when she turned to him. Seeing her face now he recognized her as Susan Bones, which would explain how she would know anything about his father.

"And you, what is your problem? I saw everything, you just come on over and TRY to push Ron here over the edge, if I didn't know better I'd say you were looking for a fight. So what is your problem? I know your not a death eater so why do you act like an arrogant brat?" Susan asked. Draco gaped and then just turned around and headed back to the Slytherin table, he couldn't think of anything to say to that, most of it was true. He left not a moment too soon, for soon the students could hear a disturbing hissing coming from outside the Great Hall.

Draco realized at once that the only Parselmouth in the school was the new Professor and Harry Potter, but as Harry Potter wasn't here right now and the voice sounded older, it had to be Darin. A little more hissing was heard and then something that Draco was almost sure was not a nice word was heard. Darin walked in demeanor the same as it was last night, he looked a little angry however and gave a silent nod to Dumbledore and sat down. He glared at each house table, he glared longer at the other three house tables however and just glanced at the Slytherin table. Dumbledore seemed to realize something as well and invited Darin to speak. He began talking about dark marks and how he knew if death eaters were in the school. When he mentioned that there was a death eater in the school all the eyes fell upon the Slytherin table, he noticed Weasley looking at him. He sneered back at him and turned away listening to the rest of what Darin was saying. Draco was then surprised when Darin specifically told the other houses to quit looking at the Slytherin table, and even more surprised when he said that the Slytherins were innocent of that particular crime. He finished by saying that he knew it was a student from one of two tables, he didn't say which however, and Draco thought it made sense. Draco was sure the other houses would gain up on which ever house the death eater was thought to be in, that is what would have happened of it had been Slytherin. He watched as members of the other houses looked at the other houses and then at their own house, nervous looks on most of the students face. He saw that Weasley was also looking nervous and frightened, and kept glancing at his own house members. Professor Blaze finished by saying to not always go looking at the Slytherins for wrong doings, or something like that. He then bid them good day and reminded them about his class before quickly leaving the room.

Draco turned to his other Slytherins and Theodore Nott of all people said the thing that was going through all their minds.

"Well. That was unexpected." Draco agreed, and was once again looking forward to class with Darin, he had defense just this afternoon, he was for once looking forward to it.

A/N: I hope you like this chapter. As said above the things with the two death eaters are a big part of later in the story, neither are discovered until much later however. You can try to guess though if you like, I may narrow it down to one house later. They are both someone who has been mentioned in the book, but I'm not saying if they are more than just mentioned. Next chapter is teaching, it will actually be Harry teaching his first class and the sixth year Slytherin Gryffindor class, so it should be quite long, Fred and George come soon too. I hope you continue to read and review, thanks again.
