Chapter 18
Over the next couple days several things happened. The next day Hermione had come to him to ask him to once again start up the DA meetings, saying that at the next weekend, which was a Hogsmeade weekend, they could all gather at The Three Broomsticks. Harry had wanted to get her off his back, so had agreed half heartedly.
Almost instantly posters had been hanging all through the castle, stating that the DA sign up was to be taking place in Hogsmeade that weekend. All those interested were to get the same coins that had been used the first year.
Meanwhile, Hermione had said that she felt Harry should start teaching them some more advanced spells. Harry had gotten angry and told her that if she wanted to learn these more advanced spells she should start looking some of them up for herself.
Then that evening they had all been disgusted to find Ron passed out, drunk, on one of the sofas in the seventh year dormitory, an empty bottle of fire whiskey dangling from his hand. Harry had walked over, taken the empty bottle and thrown it against the bricks of the fireplace, the leaping flames startling Ron to consciousness again.
The day after that, everyone had been surprised to see Ginny Weasley with a startling new haircut. In place of her long coppery locks, she now had a blunt bob that was longer in the front than the back. It had all been dyed black except for a few streaks of dark purple. Ron had merely grimaced and looked away, Hermione had been speechless at first, and then she had quickly screamed how awesome it was.

Harry looked across from him at the startlingly clear, blue eyes.
'Sorry, I was just in a rush. Here, let me help you.'
On his knees, Harry helped the pale blonde girl in front of him; he grabbed some rolling inkwells, and a few pieces of paper that were loose.
'Thanks, I'm just trying to find someone, and I'm still not that great at finding my way around here.'
Harry smiled and then helped her to stand up, 'No problem. Maybe you should tell me who you're looking for; I might be able to help.'
Harry had noticed it was that Amy girl from the beginning of the year. She had been sorted into Slytherin, and she looked startlingly familiar, he just couldn't place her.
Smiling up at him, she laughed softly and said, 'My name's Amy Dael, I'm looking for a Draco Malfoy.'
Harry's eyes were warm and he said, 'I'm Harry Potter, and I think Draco should be just finishing up his extra credit Transfiguration class. I'll walk with you.'
Amy smile dipped a bit and she said, 'Actually, I think I can wait to talk to him. It's not a big deal, and I forgot, I'm supposed to be meeting my sister.'
As she scurried down the hall, leaving a stunned Harry in her wake, she called back, 'Nice to meet you Harry!'

Draco stared unseeingly ahead of him. Professor Trelawney had never made an accurate prediction that he knew of. Normally she made vague predictions that were self fulfilling, but this time, this time she had scared him. For this time, her prediction had sounded different than any he had ever heard before. Her voice had gone all deep and her eyes had rolled back in her head.
'Someone once lost shall be found.
Someone once hated with new love is bound.
A common enemy shall be destroyed,
But there will be others to fill the void.'
Draco shuddered again at the memory. He was to find someone once lost, that would most likely be Amièe, his sister. He was to fall in love with someone who he once hated, well, that was a long list. But those two weren't the ones that really unnerved him, it was the last one.
He unconsciously went to run a hand through his silky blonde hair, but he found them greased back with the gel that was his Slytherin persona. Sneering at the gunk that now clung to his skin he wiped it off on a tapestry as he passed.
