Okay I'm sorry this chapter has taken so long but I hope you like it.
There are a few words in here that might need explaining.
The word Necto for the Unicorn is latin for: to tie up, bind, fasten. And yes the reason for that will be explained later actually a lot later like in the sequel but I needed it here for back story sorry.
Thanks everyone for their reviews and just know that this story is not dead just taking its own sweet time in letting me write it. Of course if my muses would just whisper it faster in my ear it might get done faster.

Okay okay, I'm only barrowing them for a little while now will please not eat me Fluffy? No alright there is only one thing for me to do. RUN LIKE HELL!
Chapter 14
The Hunt
Inside the castle the power surge had been felt. It had rattled the walls of the sturdy building. In the Great Hall goblets had exploded and a few of the large windows had shattered. The teachers were now trying to calm shaken students and heal the few trifle wounds that had occurred. But at the Gryffindor table there was one set of students that was shaken for a different reason.
Ron was pale. "You don't suppose?"
"It had to have been." Hermione answered.
"Harry." Kari gasped.
"But so much power." Keril stated. They could tell the blast had originated from a bit of a ways off. But the raw power that had slammed into them had been immense.
Ginny sat with her arms wrapped around her. Tears were streaming down her face. "It was Harry." She sobbed. She quickly got to her feet and ran out of the Hall.
"Wait Ginny where do you think your going?" Roan called after his friend as the rest of them chased after her. They caught up with her just outside the door.
"Ginny, what do you think your doing?" Her brother asked.
She was looking franticly every which way. "I need to find him. He needs me." She cried. "I need to find him." She slumped as she let herself be pulled into Keril's strong grip.
The incubus ran his hand through her fiery locks. "Shush, calm down. We'll find him." He consoled.
She fisted her hands in his shirt leaning her forehead against his chest. Her tears soaked the grey silken fabric.
Ailis came forward tears also in her light blue eyes. She started to rub the girls back reassuringly. "Yeah, we'll find him." She soothed.
Ginny gasped for air as she tried to stop her crying. "Yes, I need to calm down." She chanted to herself. "Me being upset will only upset him even more." She took in another breath her entire body shuddering. She closed her eyes and thought about her handsome boyfriend. His beautiful green eyes smiling at her as they so often did. She envisioned his coal black hair and how it felt to run her fingers through it. She laughed as she remembered how he would pout when she messed it up even more than it already was. Then he would give a futile try at smoothing the unruly mass down. No matter how hard he patted it just wouldn't lay flat. Not that she minded. She loved the way his hair had a mind of its own. It was one of the things that made him so alluring, so down right sexy. She had loved his hair ever since she had first met him back in his first year. Even then she recalled thinking that it wasn't possible for someone to have such black hair. A large smile spread across her face.
"You calmed down now?" Ron asked.
She nodded. "Yeah, let's go find Harry."
Roan scratched the top of his head. "That's all well and good, but where do we start?"
Ron, Hermione and Ginny all looked at each other. "The Hospital Wing." The three of them said in unison. With that the group headed off to find their part elfin friend.
Poppy had been a bit shocked when a tall man that she didn't recognize had burst into her ward. But it didn't take her long to recognize the small form he held in his arms.
"My goodness. And just when I thought that he might make it one year with out being brought to the hospital wing. Bring him over here." She motioned to a bed near the window. She started to bustle around searching for the potions she thought she might need. "So what is it this time? Broken bones, he get attacked by some strange creature again? I swear I see him in here more than any other student."
Sirius smiled. The woman sounded exasperated. He knew that it was all for show. He knew the woman really did care for the green eyed Gryffindor. How could she not after all the times she had to take care of the boy. "No, nothing that drastic this time just some out of control magic. He hasn't fully finished going through his wizarding puberty."
"Really, but his birthday was in July, one would think." Then she remembered what the head master had told her about Mr. Potter. "Well, I guess considering the circumstances it's to be expected. Here, have him drink this." She handed him a cloudy blue potion. "It will help him gain his strength back quicker. Um, sir, don't consider me rude. But who are you?"
Draco was shocked. Surely Madame Pomfrey could recognize Sirius Black? He had only been the most wanted man in the wizarding world since their third year. Sure he had cleaned up quite a bit. One could even say he was handsome. But he wasn't totally unrecognizable.
"Oh, sorry, I'm Sirius Black, Harry's Godfather." He gave a slight bow to the witch.
This shocked Draco even more. He had expected the man to make up some story. Not come strait out and tell the truth. But Madame Pomfrey didn't seem upset at all. Actually she seemed excited.
"His Godfather, oh dear." She smiled brightly. "This is just great does Dumbledore know?"
The man smiled. "Yes the headmaster knows. He's the one that got in contact with me telling me that Harry was in need of help. I've been detained for many years and have not been able to be with him. But I plan to spend every moment I can with him from now on." He looked at the sleeping figure of his godson. "No, I lost him once before and I don't plan on letting that happen again." He brushed some of the boy's hair from his face.
The witch watched the affectionate touch. "This is just wonderful. Now Harry won't have to go back to those horrible muggles. I never really liked them. I don't care about the protection magic. I don't think they took care of the boy to well. He was always so skinny I wonder if they fed him enough. You make sure to put some meat on those bones of his." She stated sternly. "I'll leave the two of you alone, but what about him?" She pointed to Draco. "I know how much those two don't get a long."
Sirius shook his head. "No, its okay let him stay. I don't think you'll have to worry about anything." He sent the boy a knowing look.
"I won't harm Potter." Draco stated and he meant it. His Protego demon side wouldn't allow him to harm his charge.
"Very well." She left the room.
Sirius pulled out a wand and transfigured two small stones into chairs. "Have a seat. Oh and can I have Harry's glasses." He took them from Draco. "Hmm, I think he's going to need new ones. I'll have them ordered straight away."
The demon was cautious but took the seat that was offered to him. "Where did you get a wand? I would have thought they broke yours when you were sentenced to Azkaban."
The man laced his fingers together resting his chin on his joined hands. "They did. But Dumbledore thought it would be handy if I acquired a new one. So I stopped at Olivanders before I came here."
"But wasn't that rather foolish, the old man remembers every wand he's ever sold and each person." Surely the man with the half moon shaped pupils would recognize the escaped convict.
The Animagus snickered. "Nope, he didn't recognize me at all."
The blonde's mouth fell open. "But how, I don't get it. You were the most wanted man in the entire Wizarding world. Well except maybe for You-Know-Who. How can nobody recognize you?"
"Ah, that's where you're wrong." He waved one slender finger. "There are still those out there that do recognize me. You for instance and Harry, and I'm sure his friends will have no problem. Not to mention Dumbledore. No not everyone has forgotten, just most of them. You see that was the way she planed it. That's what she told me after all."
"What, who planned it?"
"Lady Gelena. She's a high elf and Maiden of Avalon. Not to mention Harry's Grandmother."
Now Draco was totally shocked. "You mean Potter is part elf. And not just that but he's related to a high elf and Maiden of Avalon?" But that would explain a lot of things. How The-boy-who-lived was so powerful. Not to mention how he could throw off the imperious curse. It was very hard to control an elf magically. One needed a potion to accomplish that. And even then it had to be a very strong potion to get through their mental defenses. Or you would have to have some sort of connection to the elf. Draco remembered the stories he had been told about the Dark Lord controlling Potter last year. The Scar was the only way he could have possibly accomplished that.
"Yes, Harry is part elf. And believe me I was as shocked as the next person." He took Harry's small hand in his fingering the ring on the boy's finger.
"So what about you, how did you come back?"
Sirius sighed. He knew it would come to this sooner or later. And he would have to repeat it to Harry when he woke up. "I did die, I think. Actually I'm not quite sure where the veil leads. I floated in what seemed like oblivion. There were voices all around me, but I never saw anyone else. The only thing I saw was Harry's face in my mind over and over again. I had the feeling that I had let him down. The only feeling I felt was despair. Deep down I knew that I had failed him. If left him alone again after all he'd been through. And knowing Harry I was sure he would blame himself. I tried but I couldn't find a way to get back to him. Time didn't seem to pass. I had no idea how long I was there. But suddenly I felt another presence and that's when I saw her. At first I thought she was what the muggles call an Angel. She had long silvery blond hair and large blue green eyes. Those eyes reminded me so much of Harry's same shape and all. She smiled and cupped my cheek with her hand."
Flash back
"Are you the one they call Sirius Black?" Her voice was soft and crystalline.
"Yes, I am he."
"Finally I have found you. I have a favor to ask you. I know that you want to see your friends Lily and James and believe me I don't blame you. If you stay here much longer you will be sent to be with them. But I must tell you it really wasn't your time to die yet."
He was shocked.
"I can take you back you know. To the world you left behind. Please don't look at me like that. I am a member of the High elf council, and a maiden of Avalon. The later gives us certain gifts. If it was not the person's time to die and if it hasn't been that long we are able to raise a person from the dead. But it has to be their choice and only for a good reason. And this is a really good reason. I know a young boy who would be very happy to see you and really could use you there right now." She knew he would know who she was talking about.
"Harry?" He asked hopefully. Oh how he wanted to see his dear Godson again. He meant more to him than anything. Sure he wanted to see his lost friends. But he knew they would understand and would tell him to return to Harry.
"Yes he is such a sweet child. But he's so confused right now and needs the backing of someone he loves. I wish I could be there for him. But I'm afraid that it is impossible for me to leave Avalon for long periods of time even if it is to be with my Grandson."
He gasped. "You're Grandson? But I thought. You mean Harry is part elf?"
"Yes, he just found out this summer. He is a direct descendent of my family line, a very distant grandson."
He was sure if he could have fallen he would have by now.
Tears pooled in her eyes. "I wish I had known this before. He would never have been sent to those horrible relatives. But it wasn't until he started to come into his elfin heritage that we found him. But believe me I won't allow him to be alone anymore. That is why I've come to ask you to return to him. He needs you now more than ever. I will make it so that most will not even remember who you are. There will be those that need to know. And of course there are some of certain races and those with a strong emotional attachment to you. But it shouldn't be a problem for you to be around him in your human form everyday."
Now he began to cry. She had just granted every wish he ever had. "There was no need to even ask. Being with Harry right now is the only place I would want to be. And I will protect him no matter what."
"Thank you." She waved her hand and a bright light surrounded him. As it faded he found himself on the floor of Dumbledore's office.
"Ah, welcome back Sirius. I believe we have a lot to talk about." The ancient mans blue eyes sparkled with joy.
End flash back.
He told Draco everything as he remembered it.
"But now I have a question for you. And you better answer me truthfully because I won't think twice about mangling you if you have any ill intentions towards Harry. But why are you of all people protecting him? I've heard the stories. You two hated each other. Not to mention you're a Malfoy and the son of a deatheater one of Voldemort's inner circle. So why protect the Dark Lords greatest enemy?"
Draco growled. He explained how over the summer that his Protego Demon lineage was revealed to him and how it went from there.
"So you need to Protect Harry because he's you Charge."
"Yeah, that's the basis of it."
"Hmmm."
The door opened and in rushed Harry's group of friends. Hermione, Ron, and Ginny were in front Luna not far behind. The four of them stopped dead in there tracks as they saw the man sitting next to their friend. But unfortunately the rest of group behind them couldn't stop fast enough and the result was a domino effect toppling them into a pile on the floor.
Sirius couldn't help but laugh. He wasn't surprised at their reaction. He didn't think that Gelena would erase the memories of Harry's friends. It would have made things far too awkward.
The group of seven teenagers tried to untangle themselves.
"Here let me help you." The ex prisoner pulled Hermione from the pile.
"Sirius, but how could it be."
He sighed. "Let's get this mess figured out and I'll explain to you all at once."
After some sorting and much story telling latter they all understood how he had come to be there alive. And why Malfoy was there.
Suddenly a strong burst of magic swept through the room and the cabinets and beds started to shake.
"No, no mother." Harry started to moan and thrash on the bead.
"Harry, Harry." Serious called to his godson. "Harry." But no matter what he did the boy just writhed and shook.
"Mother, no!" He cried.
"Harry!" Ginny wailed and she grabbed her boyfriend. "Harry please calm down. You're going to hurt yourself." She could now see bolts of energy trailing all over his body. But it seemed her words were getting through to him. "Please Harry darling for me." Tears fell down her cheeks and dropped onto his face. "I don't want to loose you. I love you." She placed a light kiss on his forehead, and then his lips.
Slowly he stopped shaking and the energy that was raging through his body calmed down. "Ginny?" He whispered. His arms wrapped around her pulling her close so that she lay on the bed next to him.
"Harry!" She brought her lips to his in a mind blowing kiss.
Sirius arched an eyebrow eyeing the rest of the teens. "When did this happen?" He questioned quietly.
"It started this summer. But they only just admitted it about a week or so ago." Hermione explained.
"Ah, I see." He turned his attention back to his Godson and his Girlfriend. Who were now engaged in a full fledged snog session "Don't you think we should interrupt. They might not like the idea of us watching." He wondered if it was too late to give Harry the birds and the bees talk. He watched the couple for a bit longer and decided it was probably a waste of time. He didn't think Harry would do anything stupid. But it was quite obvious he loved this girl very much. They actually reminded him of James and Lily in a way. Harry with his jet back hair that was always messy and Ginny with her russet locks flowing in waves and slight curls down her back. The only differences was that Lily's hair had been darker and Harry wasn't quite as tall as James. When he noticed a wayward hand snake up the back of the girl's shirt he decided it was time he stopped it. After all he didn't want to be privy to an all out shag. Not that he wanted them to shag, they were too young. Of course Harry would probably argue that fact. He was ready to hear 'I am sixteen you know.' Sure his godson was sixteen but he wasn't ready to let go of the over protective Godfather mode yet. "Excuse me, you two, but there are other people in the room."
"Oh shit." They heard Harry hiss pulling away from the redhead vixen.
Ginny giggled. She sat up and adjusted her blouse so it sat better.
Harry peaked around his girlfriend to glance at the other people in the room. "Uh, hi guys." He greeted. He had a sheepish grin on his face. He squinted trying to focus on everyone.
Ron's face was as red as his hair. Sure he was fine with his sister dating Harry. But the two of them snogging right in front of him was something totally different.
Hermione was trying unsuccessfully to stifle a giggle. She couldn't help herself. Ginny had a self confident smile on her face. That girl wasn't afraid of anything. But Harry looked as if he was about to pass out.
Kari was laughing giving them two thumbs up.
Keril shook his head and smiled. His arm was around his sister. Ailis had her face buried in her brother's chest.
Roan had created a sign that read snog'ometer, 10.5 in bright red letters.
Luna fidgeted with her butter bear bottle cap necklace. She didn't seem bothered at all.
On the other side of the bed Draco wore his trade mark smirk.
Sirius stepped into his godson's line of sight. "I see there are some things that have progressed while I was gone."
Harry had almost forgotten about his Godfather. "Sirius!" He cried as he tried to jump off the bed so he could hug the man. But his legs gave out under him. They felt as if someone had hit him with the Jelly Leg curse.
Sirius bent quickly to catch him. "Oops careful you used a log of magic earlier. I'm sure you'll be a little woozy for a while."
Green eyes filled with tears. "Sirius." He threw his arms around the older mans neck.
His Godfather pulled him in tighter. Tears were now streaming down his cheeks. "Harry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"No Sirius, it's my fault. If I had kept my head on straight and gone to Dumbledore and not raced in to things none of this would have happened."
The ex-convict grabbed Harry by the shoulders and pulled him away. Not enough to pull the boy from his embrace, but enough to look him straight in the eye. Bright vibrant blue bore into tear streaked jade. "Now you listen hear Harry. You did nothing wrong. You thought with the thing that powers you the most." He placed a hand on the left side of the boy's chest. "Your heart. It is the thing that gives you most of your power. I noticed it back in your third year. You didn't think twice about coming after Ron. Instead of only thinking about revenge for you and your parents against Pettigrew, you thought more about what would happen to Remus and me. And you have always been there for your friends and others along the way. In that way you are so much like your mother. She didn't care who needed help she was always there for them. Yes Voldemort used this against you. And you came out flying. You were able to direct your group and hold your own against a large group of Death Eaters. That is more than many Aurors. I was the one that got myself in trouble. I got to cocky I took Bellatrix for granted and paid the price. Your mother always used to say I was to thick headed for my own good and this time it not only hurt me but the ones I love. I left you alone and blaming yourself but it isn't your fault. Your heart is what makes you strong never forget that and never change. Because someday it will be what saves you and brings you strength when you need it the most."
Harry smiled and pulled godfather close again.
Sirius ran his fingers through the boys moonlight streaked ebony hair. Wait a minute, moonlight streaked, it was the middle of the day. He lifted his fingers letting the silken threads fall through the gaps. Sure enough, there where silvery white strands mixed in with the pitch black threads. "Uhm, Harry, don't look now, but I think you're getting grey hairs."
"What?" Green eyes looked at him incredulously.
"I'm not kidding. Take a look for yourself." He transfigured a glass into a mirror and handed it to Harry.
Sure enough the silver streaks were mixed in with his black hair. "Bugger, how did this happen?"
Hermione fingered a lock. "It's not grey, it's white, silvery white."
Ginny brushed some bangs from his face. "What could have caused this?"
"It's his elfin magic." Delphine answered as she entered the hospital wing.
Sirius was confused. "Excuse me, who are you?"
She laughed. "That seems to be a common question."
"Don't worry Sirius, she's okay." Harry reassured the man. "This is Delphine Evalnphire."
"Pleased to meet you, you must be Sirius Black."
He just nodded and shook her hand.
Pleasantries aside she got down to business. "With this last magic surge Harry tapped into some of his Elfin magic. Gelena did say that there could be some changes. The elfin line that Harry comes from is predominantly the fair haired kind."
"So this is permanent?" Harry was worried.
"No, I don't think so. Just try to imagine yourself with black hair again and it should return to normal."
He closed his eyes and after a little while the silver darkened to black. He sighed, "At least it wasn't pointed ears."
Delphine didn't take that as an insult. Gelena had told her about the boy's fears. And she couldn't blame him. Being the savior of the wizarding world people probably stared at the poor kid all the time.
Ron laughed. "Yeah, could you imagine that?"
"Ron." Hermione warned.
"I mean, what if you and Ginny get married someday. Your kids might have pointed ears. That would just be too funny."
"RONALD WEASLEY!" Sirius roared. He could feel his godson shaking in his arms and the splatter of warm tears on the back of his hand.
Ron was abashed. Right away he knew what he had done was wrong. He could see the quivering form of his friend. "Gods Harry, I'm sorry." He stepped forward but was stopped by Roan who just shook his head.
"Harry?" Sirius questioned worry imbedded in his voice.
The part elf stood. His legs were still a bit shaky but they held his weight. "Sorry, but I need to go." With his head still bowed he ran from the room.
"Harry!" Ginny called running after the guy she loved.
"Ron, you shouldn't have." Hermione chided and ran after her friend.
Ron stood their dumb struck. He really hadn't meant anything by what he said. He was just kidding around. But sure enough he spoke without thinking and that always got him into trouble. He knew Harry's emotions were on edge already. What with his elfin heritage, not having his wizard puberty under control yet, oh and let's not forget the sudden return of Sirius. And didn't Malfoy say something about Blaise Zambini? He was shocked from his thoughts when someone back handed him knocking him to the ground.
"What the hell?"
A very pissed off protego demon stood over him. "Weasley you idiot. You are blooming lucky that I know hurting you would only hurt Potter later. Or I would beat the shit out of you right now." Draco surprised even himself with how protective he had gotten since the bond had been completed. But he couldn't control himself. He gave one more warning growl and ran out of the room after Potter.
"You really made a hash of that one Ron."
"Shut up Roan."
Harry ran out of the hospital wing. He stopped for a little while and then turned to the right heading up the stairs. Wiping at his eyes he made it to the landing before his legs gave out under him again. Grabbing the banister he tried to pull himself up but the damn appendages just wouldn't cooperate. "Hell." He grumbled. To make things worse his sight got a little blurrier and the world started to spin.
"Harry?" Ginny sat down next to him placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Ginny, believe me I can understand if you don't want to see me anymore." He couldn't meet her eyes.
She grabbed his cheek forcing him to look at her. "Now listen here Harry. I don't care what happens but I will never stop loving you. And if someday we do get married and our kids end up with pointed ears I'll love them just as much."
He searched her eyes but all he saw was love and truth. Crying he flung his arms around her and pulled her into his lap. "Ginny I don't know how I've gone without you for so long." Running a finger down her cheek he kissed her lips lightly. "I can't believe that I've looked past you all this time. How could I have missed such a gem?"
She smiled. "Easy, I was your best friends little sister." A giggle escaped her lips as she rubbed her hand around the back of his neck. "You tried to see me as the little sister as well." She gasped as he slid a hand down her side. "I'm just glad that you got past all that." And with that they joined in a heated kiss.
"Oh come one get a room and bang her already." A snide voice called from the bottom of the stairs.
"Malfoy." A girl's voice hissed. "You bloody bastard."
Then the sound of the wind being knocked out of someone could be heard.
"Did you have to elbow me in the stomach Granger?"
Harry couldn't help but laugh hiding his head in the crook of Ginny's shoulder.
Hermione made her way to her two friends. "Harry are you okay."
"Yeah Hermione, I'm fine just needed to get away."
She rubbed his back. "I understand. That was wrong of Ron. He didn't mean anything by it he just didn't think."
He lifted his head and gave her a weak smile. "It's alright Hermione. I know he didn't mean it. That's just Ron. It was more me than anything. It's something that I've worried about all summer. I hate being watched already and if those silver streaks had been permanent or I had gotten pointed ears could you imagine how people would stair. I guess I'm just a weak fool for even thinking about such things."
She patted his arm. "No Harry you're not weak. I don't think any of us can know what you go through every year being placed under the microscope. It's enough to cause anyone to be self conscious. But just remember no matter what we will always be there for you."
He nodded. His eyes closed, he just rested for a little. The something dawned on him. "Has anyone seen my glasses?"
Ginny couldn't help but laugh.
Draco just watched the three friends. He should just leave. He had done what was needed of him, he had protected his charge. But something else kept him there. The hate he had felt for the smaller boy was quickly disappearing. It was been replaced by a familiar need, one he had not felt since his first year on the train. He had wanted to by Potters friend then. It seemed that his demon blood was determined to make him try again. It would make things easier when it came to protecting his charge. But could he get along with them? Sure he didn't really have anything against Potters new friends accept that most of them were Gryffindor. But he had a long animosity towards Weasley, Granger and Potter. Then again there was that possibility that Sandhyra had been right. And this entire time the only reason he hated them was because he was jealous thatPotter chose Weasley in the first year, and later made friends with Granger. Could he get along with the three of them? Could he give it a try?
"My Lord." The elder Malfoy bowed in front of the other man.
"What happened Lucius?"
"My Lord it would seem that the plan with the Zambini boy failed."
"And why did he fail?"
The other man hesitated. "It would seem that someone interfered."
Suddenly the other man rounded on the blonde. "Cruccio.!" He called. Lucius cried as he writhed in pain. The evil man held the spell for a few more minutes. When it ended the tall man fell forward falling on to his hands and knees. "You should know better Lucius. I know very well that your son was the one that interfered. Did you not tell me that this summer you discovered that he was a Protego Demon?"
"Yes my Lord. I'm sorry, I believed that if my son was to serve anyone it would be you."
"Tsk tsk, you of all people should know that a Protego Demon can not choose their charge. Your son has good tastes though. He has chosen a very powerful wizard to protect. But he makes things difficult."
"I'm sorry my Lord, I will deal with my son."
"No, no need. We will deal with him later. I will not allow anyone to get in the way of my greatest desires." The tall man sighed. "But now Lucius let us speak of our other undertaking. Have we found her yet?"
"No my Lord the Unicorn still evades us."
The menacing man steepled his fingers. "Well then let us...LOOK HARDER!" His voice had started out calm and composed but by the end he was seething with anger. He needed that Unicorn if his ultimate plan was to work. But she was no normal Unicorn. True she was pure white and beautiful but instead of having a white spiral horn hers was pure smooth silver. But this hunt was made very complicated. Because this bread of Unicorn could do something that no other Unicorns can do. They had the ability to change form. More importantly they were able to morph from Unicorn into human. And their prey had done just that throwing them off her track. They had fallowed her hoof prints to the very edge of the Forbidden forest before they changed into those of a small human leading out of the forest towards Hogwarts. So now the Dark Lord and his servants were relegated to looking for her right under the old codger Dumbledore's nose and that of the Boy-who-lived. But he had no choice her breed of Unicorn was very rare and it would be months before they found another Necto Unicorn. He needed this Unicorn if he was ever going achieve his greatest desire. "Find her Lucius. Or there will be hell to pay. And believe me Satan will look calm compared to me."
Lucius bowed again. "Yeas My Lord. I will get a hold of our contact on the inside." He kept bowing slightly as he left the room.
The Evil man waited for the door to close before he smiled wickedly. A picture of what he wanted came into his mind. "Mine." He whispered.
Harry awoke to Ron shaking him the next day. "Come on Harry wake up. We have Quidditch tryouts today remember."
"No Ron, you have Quidditch tryouts. I'm not on the team anymore." He pulled the blanket over his head.
But Ron was having none of this. He pulled the blanket off his friend laughing heartily. "Of course you are Harry. You're the seeker again. Delphine just stopped by with a letter from Dumbledore and McGonagall putting you back on."
This got the Raven haired teens attention. And he sat bolt up right in bed. "I'm back on?"
Ron handed him the letter.
Green eyes scanned over the delicate handwriting of the headmaster. And as he read his smile became brighter and brighter. "Woo hoo!" He cried. "He got it revoked. My life time ban has been revoked." Throwing back the blanket he jumped out of bed. He was ecstatic. He got to play Quidditch again. He rushed into the bathroom and got ready. Then he and Ron met Ginny in the common room and headed down to the Pitch.
A loud volley of cheers greeted them as they entered. "Hey hey Gryffindor, Hey Hey Gryffindor." Jack Sloper and Andrew Kirke held up a sign that read 'Welcome Back Harry.'
Harry turned to Ron. "How long did you know about this?"
"Actually Delphine told me yesterday. She was so excited she couldn't hold it in."
Ginny smiled and hugged Harry. "I told you they'd let you back on."
"So who's going to be the new Quidditch Captain?" Jack questioned.
"Harry will be of course." Ron stated.
Harry opened his mouth to say something but Ginny interrupted. "Actually Ron, I think you should be the new Captain. You know quite a bit about Quidditch."
"Me, but Harry has been on the team a lot longer." Her older brother was flabbergasted.
"Really Ron, it's perfectly alright." Harry agreed. "I think you would make a wonderful Captain."
"But I can't take it away from you. You've been on the team since you're first year, it should be yours."
Ginny sighed. "Fine, how's this. Ron is the Captain and Harry is second Captain. He'll take over if Ron can't do it. And you can run ideas past him is that okay?"
Her brother seemed to contemplate this for a while then smiled. "Alright, I guess that's okay, if it's fine with Harry."
The seeker grinned and nodded his head in agreement.
"Is that okay with you Jack and Andrew?" The two beaters nodded.
"Well, now that that's settled." Ron clapped and rubbed his hands together. "Let's get these tryouts started."
A couple of hours later they finally had their new Chasers. Ginny had of course been chosen, and a third year boy name Shreriden Briggs. Surprisingly enough their other Chaser was Ailis Beazel. She was so quiet normally that one would not have expected it, but the girl was killer on a broom. She had flown loops around Ron who had become quite a good Keeper over the summer.
Ron was so excited he couldn't stop talking about their new team. He was certain with Harry back as seeker, and their three new wonderful chasers that those Slytherins didn't stand a chance.
And so with that they headed back to the Gryffindor common room.
