Alright this happens to be one of my favorite chapters. Delphine is just great in this chapter. Warning there are a lot of songs in this chapter, and I'm sorry if it comes across as a song fic to those who don't like them. And sorry Merika, but I decided to use a different song for Harry, I wanted a more upbeat mood. But thank you for your info anyway. And before anyone says anything about the fact that one of my songs is to recent for the time frame I'm sorry. I really tried to find a song from the time that fit the mood I wanted but I just couldn't. I also tried to find popular British songs of the time. It was very hard to look them up on line. I ended up using Blur Sweet Song, Josh Groban My Confession (I love this song it's so beautiful. I think it fit's Harry's feelings for Ginny perfectly.) I also mention the New Kids on the Block (Okay, I admit I was one of those teeny boppers that liked this band, but now I don't. I guess this dates me a bit right.) I Could Have Danced All Night from My Fair Lady (Love that movie.) And of course Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (I just couldn't help my self.)
I'm sorry if all my OC's are a little confusing. But they do all have their part in the story, if not in this one than the sequel. Yes there will be a sequel for year seven. Hopefully if I ever get this one finished, It's already longer than I planned. But there is one OC that will no longer be in the story, Ora Ran. Sadly I have cut the subplot that she fit in and I no longer need her. The subplot was not really fleshed out and would have just confused things. I'm a little upset about this because she was one of my favorites. But I'm keeping her on the side lines for later story perhaps.
Thank you very much violet7amethyst for your very informative review. And yes Roan and Amai will come in later. But Amai won't really appear for quite a while sorry. I really like him as well he's so fun to write. His name stands for sweet but mischivevious. And about Harry and Ginny lasting yes that is the plan. Of course I find my stories taking on a life of their own so you never know.
Doughgurl2008 You should be happy because Draco will get over his hatred of protecting Harry very soon. And about Blaise and his crush, well, wait till the end of this chapter and of course the next one. And no professor Flitwick isn't a Hobbit but it would be funny.
Sorry this would have been posted earlier but I was on a ban. I posted a story that I really didn't think was anything worse than some others I've read on this sight. But I guess it was because it was pulled for being over the rating I gave it. So if there is anything that anyone think goes against the rules please tell me and I'll remove it my self.

Chapter 12
Sing me a Lullaby
Harry and Ginny were totally oblivious to what was going on behind them. Their total focus was on memorizing the taste and feel of each others mouths. With slight moans the hands started to gain minds of their own wondering over each others bodies. One of hers left his neck to trace light designs on his back. His fisted in her hair bring their faces closer together.
Finally the need for air caused them to break apart. Bright blue eyes slowly opened and quickly locked with bright emerald green ones.
"Wow." Ginny gasped a bright blush spreading across her cheeks.
"Wow is right." He looked dazed as he tried to get his heart beat to return to normal. "But Gin, what about that other guy you like?" He couldn't help the ache in his heart. Over the summer he had really started to have feelings for the spit fire in his arms.
She laughed slightly. "Harry you silly goose, it's you." She cupped her cheek with his hand.
He was shocked. Part of him couldn't believe that what she said was true. He had been brought up most his life believing he was abnormal by the Dursleys. And when he had found his real home in the wizarding community he still felt a little out of place. He was the famous Harry Potter. He couldn't go anywhere without someone watching him staring at his scar. No matter how he tried he couldn't be normal. He had to be the one of the most powerful wizards. The one that was to destroy the dark lord, the savior of the magical world, and now part elf he just couldn't be normal. But searching her face he found nothing but sincerity. He felt his stomach flutter. With these people he had found friends that accepted him for just being him. He had found the family that he never had. He had found love. He reached up and pulled her back in for another kiss.
Delphine couldn't help but giggle. "Uhm, you two really should think about getting to class."
They pulled apart, blushing.
"Sorry Professor." Harry snickered. He got to his feet helping Ginny up as well.
His mentor and now Professor removed a small silver pocket watch from her robe. "It would seem that class has already started. I'll give you all a note that will excuse you." She waved her wand and a piece of parchment for each of them appeared. "Just show your Professor these and it will all be explained. Now off to class all of you." They grabbed the piece that had their name on it and left the room. "Oh, and Harry, I hope that I'll see you signed up for my class on Saturday. I think you'll like it." She gave him a bright smile.
He smiled back. "I will Professor." He grabbed his sheet and ran off to join the others.
Harry, Hermione, Ron, Kari, Roan, and Ailis all had the same class next. It was Defense Against the Dark Arts. They were surprisingly not late. Actually the Professor hadn't even showed up yet. The group found a table in the middle of the room and waited for the new teacher to arrive.
"I hope that this teacher is better than the last one." Hermione sighed as she opened her book.
"Yeah me too." Harry murmured. He rubbed the back of his hand. Mrs. Weasley had gotten a salve from Madame Pomfrey that got rid of the scar that Umbridge's quill had left. But it couldn't get rid of the memory of the pain he had gone through last year at the will of that horrible woman. He couldn't help but wonder where she had gone now.
Ron and Hermione couldn't miss the look on their friends face. Ron patted his arm and Hermione rubbed his back.
Just then the door in the back of the room opened and their teacher made his entrance. Passing down the middle of the desks he made his way to the front of the class.
"Ooh, he's cute." Kari sighed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco sat near the back of the room. His arms crossed behind his head and eyes closed. He didn't really know what to expect from this new teacher. But anything had to be better than last year. Sure he had joined Umbridge's little squad but he never really liked the teacher. She was an awful bore and he often felt like falling asleep in her class. The fact that she treated them like they were three year olds didn't get past him either. One eye opened when he heard the door to the room open.
"I guess the blighter has shown up." He stretched and made him self presentable for class.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Welcome sixth years. I apologize for being late. I had a slight pressing family matter come up at the last minute." Professor Dale had a large smile on his face. "I am your new Defense against the Dark arts Professor. Now I believe you never really know someone unless you get to know some personal information about them. So let's see. I've lived in Britain most of my life. I've done a little bit of traveling. Greece happens to be one of favorite spots so much magical history. Yes I do have a penchant for magical history. I'm really interest in ancient myths."
Hermione almost jumped in her seat. Harry was pretty sure she was excited about talking to this teacher about everything he knew.
"My favorite food is Strawberries. I can't stand Oysters. And my favorite colors are dark red and green, emerald green to be exact. Now I understand that your last Professor was rather lacking. So please forgive me if we repeat some of what you went over last year. I hope to give you a little more information any maybe open your eyes to some knew insights. And later in the year I plan to work in some of the so called Mythological animals that I have studied through the years."
Again Hermione gave a bit of a jump. Ron let out a soft giggle.
"Now if you would please turn to page 458 I would like to go over Hags. Now could anyone tell me what a hag is?"
Hermione's hand shot up.
"Of course know it all Granger." Draco sneered.
Harry over heard the Slytherin and turned in his seat to send a scathing look at the blond.
"Yes Ms. Granger. Or is it alright if I call you Hermione?"
Some of the girls sighed.
Hermione simply nodded. "The Hag is seen as many things. They are sometimes seen as a spirit associated with the harvest and spinning. It is also thought that some like to torment and eat people. Even thought there haven't been any cases of this in many centuries. But even though they don't eat people they still have evil intentions to them. And often like to sit on someone while they sleep taking away their breath and causing nightmares."
"Thank you very much Hermione." He gave her a radiant smile. "Now could anyone tell me the most well known Hag in Britain?"
This time many hands shot up. "Yes, Blaise." He pointed to the dark blonde slytherin.
"That would be Black Annis."
"That is correct. She is supposed to have blue skin and long white teeth. Can anyone tell me anything else about this Hag? Dean Thomas?"
Dean looked absolutely terrified. "Sorry sir, but I really don't know much about Hags." The boy bowed his head sure that house points were going to be taken away from them this time.
"That's perfectly alright Dean. I don't expect all of you to know about every creature in your book. Just pay extra attention because their might be something pertaining to Hags on the finale exam. Now Harry could you enlighten us a little?"
Harry was now glad that he had all those long talks with Remus during third year. Sure they mostly talked about his parents and their past years at school and the Marauders. Not to mention their many talks about Dementors. But they had also had long talks about some of the creatures that would be covered in their book. "Black Annis is said to live in a cave that she made. Out side the cave is a large oak tree that she uses as a perch to keep an eye out for little children to eat. It is also said that when not in the tree she stands out side her cave on a pile of Human bones. Of course it has since been realized that much of this is fabrication. She does live in a cave with a large oak tree out side of it. But she does not eat little children. This is a story made up by mothers to stop their children from wondering off. In reality she has a real taste for live stock and has been known to pick off the unsuspecting cow or sheep. But just because she doesn't eat people doesn't mean she likes them. She is still not a hag you would like to mess with. She has been known to mislead the traveler and lead them to their death. And if one is unfortunate enough to camp outside her cave they should be prepared for a long fitful night."
"Thank you very much Harry ten points to Gryffindor. Now I would like to go on to how to recognize a Hag and the ways to escape one."
"Wow Harry, that was amazing." Roan patted his friend on the back. "Where did you learn all that?"
"During third year from Professor Lupin. I wasn't allowed to go on Hogsmeade weekends. So I spent much of my time talking to him. He really was quite knowledgeable on many things pertaining to the dark arts."
Professor Dale spent the rest of the class explaining to them the many slight signs that someone is a hag. He also cautioned them again about the ones that often frequented the Leaky Cauldron. Of course those ones where rather mild and not really malicious to humans. Still they were not to be taken lightly.
"Now for our next class I would like you to pick once dark curse and write a simple one foot essay on it. Now I don't want you to consult any other books than this one. I want to see what you have learned over the years. You will not be marked down on this assignment. I've heard some of the stories of your old Professors. And believe me I won't mark you down because that charlatan Lockheart couldn't figure his way out of dark spell if it hit him straight in the forehead." A loud snicker was heard from most of the class. Even the slytherins joined in. "I will see you all later."
"Oh great." Ron moaned as he gathered his stuff to leave.
Hermione patted her friends back reassuring him that it wouldn't be that bad.
Roan couldn't help but laugh. And even Harry bit back a giggle.
The week went by pretty fast and soon it was Saturday already. Most of the students were sleeping in enjoying their first free day of the year. But that was not the situation for Harry and his friends. They had awoken early and were donning their school uniforms.
Harry slipped his arms into large sleeves of his robes and fastened it. "Thanks for taking this class with me Ron." He smiled at his tall red head friend. He wondered if that boy was ever going to stop growing and just fill out his frame some. He had become very lanky over the years. But he had lost some of his freckles helping him to look a little older.
"Sure Harry. I don't think Hermione would let me get of this one. You know now she is. Take any chance to learn something new. And actually I'm looking forward to seeing what Delphine has to teach us." He tried to adjust his robe a little more. But no matter what he did they still hung about three inches to short. "Dam, I've out grown this one as well. And it's one of Percy's old ones." He grumbled and fastened it realizing he'd have to resign himself to short robes for now. "Stop snickering Harry." He chided his friend. "I guess I'll have to write mum. I wonder if Fred and George's old ones would fit. They were a bit taller then Percy. But just the thought of what kind of charms they might have put on those things makes my stomach churn.
Harry knew that the Weasley twins were notorious for casting interesting charms on the items they handed down to their younger siblings. Well mostly Ron since Ginny was a girl and really couldn't wear a boy's uniform. Just the other year Ron had received one of their ties. He decided to wear it one day. Then had to have it cut off because of the tangle charm the twins had cast on it. Poor Ron swore he had kinks in his fingers for a week after ward. Supposedly from trying to unite it as it wound itself into more complicated knots.
Roan exited the bathroom brushing at his spikes with his fingers.
"I swear you use more Hair Loc Gel than Malfoy." Ron groaned.
"Hey just because you don't see any reason to do anything with that mop you call hair. That doesn't mean all of us are that uncaring."
"I don't need to make myself look like a pompous prat. Any way Harry doesn't use any of that hair junk."
The teen ran his fingers through his inky locks. "Tried, it doesn't work."
This caused the Blond Dryad to smirk. "See." He sneered, his full lips taking on a malicious twist very reminiscent of a certain Slytherin. "Any ways, Harry doesn't need it. His hair makes him naturally sexy."
The subject of the conversation started coughing. "What?" He choked out.
"At least that's what most of the girls say. Don't swing that way myself. Sorry Harry, I just don't find you sexy."
Harry felt relieved.
"Nope, I go for Blonds myself."
"Oh so you like Malfoy." Ron goaded.
"NO! Gross don't make me gag. That idiot can go stuff himself. I like girls Ron, Girls." By this time the three of them had made their way onto the landing that connected the girls and boys dorms.
"It's a good thing you cleared that up for us." Hermione laughed.
Roan's head shot around his dark green eyes wide. A blush was starting on his cheeks.
Ginny, Parvati, Lavender, and Ailis stood behind her trying not to giggle. But Kari was already giggling. Actually she was laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach.
"Wouldn't want to think that you went for Flobber Worms or something?" Ginny joked.
Lavender made a gagging motion with her finger.
"I don't know." Kari snickered. "I'm told some Sphinxes are rather good looking."
"Arrhhh!!" Roan threw his hands up in the air and headed down to the common room.
Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan had been sitting by the fire when Roan came stomping into the room.
"What's up with him?" Dean asked the group that fallowed quickly after him.
Roan turned quickly. "Don't you dare, don't you dare answer that." He ordered as he glared at the rest of them.
Seamus smiled his brown eyes sparkling. "Ooh, sounds like something juicy. Do tell please."
Hermione shook her head. "Sorry guys we're going to be late for Professor Evalnphire's class. Are you two going?"
"Nope." Dean answered. "I can't carry a tune to save my life. But Seamus is. He has a wonderful singing voice."
Roan grumbled something. "Alright come on let's go. We can decide who wins the singing contest later."
They arrived at the classroom on the third floor to find Keril and Luna waiting for them.
Ailis ran up and hugged her brother.
They entered the classroom and noticed there was quite a crowd. There was a mix of students from all four houses.
Harry was surprised to see Malfoy lounging in the corner flanked by Parkinson and Bulstrode. Silver eyes lifted to Emerald. The Gryffindor quickly averted his gaze.
"Don't look now mate." But I think that Malfoy is giving you the evil eye."
Hermione gave an exasperated sigh. "Oh come on Ron. I really don't think that he would try that in school."
"Please everyone have a seat. Now first things first take off your robes and ties. Also undo the first button on your shirt." A soft murmur made its way through the students. "This will be the normal way we begin this class. School rules state that all students must wear robes to open classes." She also removed her dark blue robe. She wore a nice blouse with a simple purple velour skirt. "Personally I don't think you can sing so restricted."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco was surprised. It might be possible to actually enjoy this class. He hadn't really known why he decided to take this class. Not many of the Slytherins had been interested. They believed it to be a waste of time. But there had been a few. Of course there was Pansy, and Millicent. A few others were spread out here and there. He was shocked that he didn't see Blaise any where. The list was there for anyone one to see. Even he knew that Potter and his pack were going to be there. He had been certain that Blaise with his fascination with Potter wouldn't give up a chance to gaze. Maybe that's why he had taken the class. The demon inside him was determined not to let his friend get anywhere near his charge. A soft growl escaped him. Why couldn't the two sides of him just agree? Hopefully the one not to protect Potter would win.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The idea of enchanting people with singing is a rather ancient form of magic. No ones really sure where it started. It's mentioned in Homers Odyssey. The Sirens were known to sing passing sailors to their death. What's not well known even among the magical community is that Sirens do not really deserve the status they've gained. Yes Sirens can sing to enchant. They seem to have a natural ability for it. There are very few of them that are not able to sing. But even fewer actually sign to kill. Their songs can have many different effects. But for most human listeners all that is accomplished is to put them to sleep. That is until they are better trained. Most have to be in their mid twenty's to early thirty's until they are fully able to control it. Kari Treble please come forward."
Kari bid her friends' good bye and joined their Professor at the front of the class.
"But there is one thing that all Sirens are good at, judging the amount of enchantment in some ones voice. It just so happens that we are lucky enough to have a siren in our class. Ms. Treble will help me judge all of your abilities for this subject. Now I know that most of you are not going to like this. But you're going to have to sing in front of everyone. I'll have you come up one at a time and pick any song that comes to mind. Now this isn't going to go in any order so nobody has to get anxious when it comes close to their time. You all just get to stew together. Oh and don't worry about trying to focus on enchanting at this time. I have put a spell on this room that will bring out your natural ability if you have it. Later you will have to concentrate or it will just be normal singing."
Harry wondered if elves could be sadistic. It certainly seemed that Delphine had a bit of it in her.
Using her wand she cast a spell on her role list witch would cause a name to light up. That person would be the lucky victim. "Pansy Parkinson."
Pansy's face blanched. She got to her feet and joined the small group at the front. Wringing her hands she glanced around the room with nervous anticipation. She stood shaking for a bit trying to think of a song to sing. Suddenly her eyes focused on someone and the perfect song came to mind.
( What am I to do
Someone here is really not happy.
Put myself on a line,
It seems I never got through to you.
So I wean myself off slowly.
Her voice was sweet and quiet.
I'm a darkened soul,
my streets all pop music and gold.
Our lives are on TV.
You switch off and try to sleep
People get so lonely.
I believe I believe I believe
Everything's out to sea.
I believe I believe I believe
That is the way it should be.
I hope you feel the same.
Everyone is dying
Stop crying now here comes the sun.
I didn't mean to hurt you no no no.
It takes time to see what you have done.
So I wean myself off slowly.
I believe I believe I believe
Love is the only one.
I deceive I deceive I deceive I deceive
Cos' I'm not that strong
Hope you feel the same.
And now it seems that we're falling apart.
But I hope I see the good in you come back again
I just believed in you.)
A few of the girls were sniffling as she finished but most everyone had an ache in their hearts.
Delphine looked to Kari.
"She has the ability. It's very slight right now. But just needs some training."
This is how it went through the rest of the class, each student taking their turn in front. Ron did well with a partial rendition of a popular wizard song by a new group called Macbeth. Hermione sang a soft version of I could have danced all Night from My Fair Lady. She had a beautiful voice. She was actually able to cause many of the students to actually get to their feet a dance. Andrew Jericho, a fifth year Hufflepuff didn't pass when he sang what was supposed to be a version of a song by an American group called New Kids on the Block. It was bad. He ended up shattering the windows. Like Dean had commented, Seamus had a beautiful voice a nice deep Baritone. Even Neville did well. His was a little shaky but Delphine was sure he had a chance. By now there were very few left.
"Blaise Zambini." Delphine called.
Draco was confused. It would seem that his housemate had signed up for the class. So where was he?
"Blaise Zambini?" The Professor took a quick glance around the room. "Zambini?" Again no answer. "No, alright." She returned to the list." Draco Malfoy."
Malfoy's mouth became dry. He really wasn't looking forward to this. He had never been really good with singing. So again he wondered why he took this class. As he made his way to the front He heard a murmur from Potters group. He thought he heard Weasley say something about 'could he be any whiter?' He ignored it though and turned to face the rest of the class. Clearing his throat he began to sing.
( Twinkle Twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high
A ringing sound started to reverberate through the room.
Like a diamond in the sky.)
There was a loud crashing noise as the windows shattered again. A Ravenclaw screamed as she passed out and a couple of other students looked as if they were going to loose their breakfast.
"Mr. Malfoy. Please stop." Professor Evalnphire ordered.
Kari was leaning against a table looking sick herself. She shook her head giving Draco an apologetic look.
He hated to admit it, but he actually felt touched by that smile. She was a Gryffindor after all so there for beneath him.
"Take your seat Mr. Malfoy." It was quite obvious that he did not have the ability. She took out her wand and aimed it at the windows for the second time. "Reparo." The glass flew back into its frames. "Would someone please Ennervate Ms. Green?"
Harry felt butterfly's in his stomach. He knew that he was the only student left. He knew that Delphine expected him to do well in this. He just hoped he didn't let her down.
"Harry Potter." She finally called his name.
"Good luck Harry." Ginny gave his hand a squeeze.
Draco couldn't help but be intrigued. He was curious on how the raven haired young man would do.
Harry could feel all eyes on him as he stepped in front of the class. He felt dizzy, until his eyes caught sight of his friends and locked onto Ginny's. He started to sing the first song that came to mind. As the words came out a couple of gasps could be heard through the room.
(I have been blind, unwilling to see
The true love you're giving.
I have ignored every blessing.
I'm on my knees confessing.)
He started soft and quiet. But the look of pure love on Ginny's face filled him and his voice became stronger.
"I didn't know Harry could sing?" Ron whispered in Hermione's ear.
"Neither did I." But then she really had never heard Harry sing. Except during the rare times they actually sang the Hogwarts school song. And you couldn't really hear any one person during that.
"He has such a beautiful voice." Ailis whispered.
Hermione was a bit shocked as a feeling of love and happiness flowed through her. Harry's tenor voice flowed through her instilling it right in to her heart.
(That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.)
Many of the people who had loved ones in the room where holding each other already. And those who didn't were eyeing some hopeful prospect.
Ron found his hand reaching over and grasping Hermione's of its own accord.
Pansy couldn't keep her eyes off the one that she had sung her song to earlier.
Even Draco Malfoy found it hard to keep his eyes off a certain young Woman.
Ginny ached to hold Harry in her arms. But she could feel each word caress her and hold her in a tight embrace.
Ailis couldn't keep her eyes of f the raven haired man in front of them. But instead of a look of joy she had tears streaming down her face.
(I have been wrong about you.
Thought I was strong without you.
For so long nothing could move me.
For so long nothing could change me.
Now I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am captured by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.)
By now Harry's eyes where totally focused on Ginny her ocean blue eyes staring into his.
(You are the air that I breathe.)
Hermione and Ron were now staring at each other.
Pansy was crossing the room intent on getting to someone.
Ailis smiled sweetly wiping away her tears and tried to pull her eyes away from Harry.
Draco stayed rooted to his seat. But his silver blue eyes stayed rooted to a pair of hazel ones.
(You're the ground beneath my feat.)
Ron cupped Hermione's cheek.
Another hand reached for Pansy's out stretched one.
Ailis didn't notice the Dark green eyes staring at her.
Draco still stayed in his seat. But now his fingers twitched as if he wanted to hold someone.
(When did I stop believing?
Cause I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.)
His two best friends where engrossed in their first real kiss.
So were Pansy and her man, Justin Finch-Fletchy.
Ailis just wanted to hide. And she was too caught up by the boy-who-lived to notice the blond that was reaching for her.
Draco had moved to the edge of his seat. His heart told him to get up and act on his feelings. But the Slytherin in him told him to keep his ass where it was.
(Hear my confession.)
With the last part of his song Ginny was on her feat and in his arms in record time.
"Oh, Harry." She cried bringing her lips to his in a searing kiss.
Delphine stood shocked. She had expected Harry to do well with this. He was after all a direct descendent of the Evalnphire family. And all Evalnphires excelled at enchantment singing. But she had not expected this. She wasn't upset with him. Actually she was very proud. He had been the best of the entire class. She didn't need Kari to tell her that. The young girl seemed rather distracted at the moment any way. She really needed to get things under control before there was one large orgy. She was certain that Dumbledore wouldn't like that.
"Class, class? Please if you could please pull yourselves away from the other so we can get on with class?" The strong clear voice of their teacher effectively broke through the euphoria they were feeling.
"Oh, my." Hermione gasped pulling away from Ron. They both blushed a bright crimson.
Justin and Pansy pulled apart. "Wow!" They exclaimed in unison.
Draco was finally capable of pulling his eyes away from the hazel depths that had so held his attention. Instead they came to rest on his fellow house mate. "Oh Merlin." He groaned feeling rather sick at seeing Pansy entangled with Finch-Fletchy. He was a mudblood after all.
"Mr. Potter, Miss Weasley could you please take your seats."
The two of them were a bit reluctant to break apart. But they didn't want to give everyone a show either. They were luck that the rest of the class was still to misty minded to comment on the fact that Harry's hand had somehow found its way up the back of Ginny's blouse.
"Wow Harry, I didn't know you could sing." Ron cheered as he poked his friend.
"Neither did I."
Delphine explained that the next few classes would allow those that didn't get it this time a chance. Other than that class was over for the day.
Everyone headed back to their dorms to change into their Saturday clothes.
"My Lord, are you sure this is such a good idea?"
"Do you question me Lucius?" A hooded figure hissed.
"No my Lord." The tall blond man bowed at the feat of the other.
"The snake was ineffective. We need another way to break the child. This boy may just be that way. He already has feelings for Potter so will not fight the Imperius to much." The Dark Lord pointed his wand at the stunned and unmoving body of Blaise Zambini. "Imperio."
Blaise jolted to life as words were whispered in his ear.
Okay, I know people are going to kill me now. I'm terrible with cliffhangers. Runs and hides in nice dark deep hole hoping no one has heat seeking bombs.
