----Chapter 10----
"I thought you left…for good" Harry said
"I did, but I came back to talk to you."
"Why? What do you want to talk to me about?" Harry said getting a little scared.
At this he turned around to show his blonde almost white hair, his blue eyes so light they looked like the sky and his pale skin. "What else would I want to talk to you about Potter?" Draco said. "I snuck in here to tell you that going over to the dark side was not my idea, I tried and I tried not to join but my father sent 'Volde' to my house and gave me the mark while I was half awake at one in the morning."
'That's mean' Harry thought. 'But he's mean to me so he deserves it.'
"When I woke up the next morning, I realized that I had the mark, because my father had told me what happened. I wanted to kill myself, and then Dumbledore came and talked to me and told me that I couldn't attend this school because he thought that I would tell Voldemort stuff against you such as where you are etc. etc. But really, if anything I was going to lie but then Dumbledore said that to protect you he kicked me out. I wanted to tell you this but I couldn't." Draco said looking sad
"Okay then, then why did you tell Voldemort about me getting sick?" Harry said
"That wasn't me!" Draco said
"Then who did?" Harry said getting a little pissed off
"My father, I was there and I found out and when I went home my father asked me what I found out about you, I said nothing but he read my mind and told." Draco daid
"Okay but then why did you send me a picture of me and Hermione kissing?" Harry said
"Well…I wanted to try and get a note to you but I didn't have any parchment, so I took a picture and wrote on the back of it but it must have been my invisible ink."
"What did you write on the back?" Harry asked
"I'm sorry" Draco said
"Really, its okay you can tell me what did you write?" Harry said
"I wrote 'I'm sorry' I was sorry that this happened to you." Draco said
"Listen, you need to get out of here, I have a class coming in, in like three seconds, drop me an owl or something, just leave, for your sake so you won't be killed." Harry said pushing him.
No sooner had Draco jumped out the window out of Snapes old office, the second years started to come in. When the bell had rang, he introduced himself told them what they were doing and then to get started. No sooner had he finished, a second year girl had walked through the door, a Gryffindor no less. Harry looked around to see that there were desks available but no more partners. Harry motioned for her to come over to him.
"How come you were late?" Harry asked in a hushed voice
"I'm new to this school, I just got here the other day and I never had this class before so I was looking, sorry."
"Its okay, I won't write you up or anything, now, do you know anybody in this class that you could pair up with, even if they are already with someone?"
She scanned the room, her long brown hair moved slowly as her head searched the room, and her big brown eyes scanned, until they came back to looking at Harry and said, "Not that I see, I'll do it alone if you wish."
"No, seeing that you're new here I'll help you out for today." Harry said. He motioned toward a desk, sat down and started instruction as to how to make the energy potion, such as how to cut it, how to stir, follow directions, when he saw that there was only five minutes left, he told them to clean up and put their cauldrons in the closet.
Harry said to the girl, "I never found out your name,"
She said, "Rose" (A/N: this is not my name)
"Well Rose, if you want to, come back here tonight, and I'll help you out." Harry said
"Sure, what time?"
"7:00?"
"Sure, see you there." And she left
Harry cleaned everything up so he could tell the first years how to make the potion just as he had with Rose, but there was no actual stuff to show it on. When they came in the normal introduction came and then he started to tell them how to make the potion, cut the ingredients, what it meant by clockwise stir, counter clockwise stir, etc. When class was over he sat at his desk to take a breather. Then he gathered his stuff, locked the door and headed for his room.
When he entered, Dumbledore was sitting in the study section just staring at the wall. He turned around to face him. "Hello Harry, how was your day?"
"Long…" Harry said
"Harry, we found a visitor on the school grounds, who was not allowed, Draco, and I was wondering if he found you at all." Dumbledore said seeming to get right to the point.
"Yes, he did find me, scared me half to death that he was going to kill me."
"May I ask what he said?" Dumbledore asked
"Yeah he said that becoming a Death Eater was not his idea, that when he was half asleep he got the mark against his will, he said that he sent me that picture, because he had no parchment so say 'I'm Sorry' on it so he took the picture and wrote on the back, however he wrote it with his invisible ink so nothing showed up."
"He said the same thing to me, except I didn't know about the picture. However I would still like to keep you in here, just in case he slips. I know you don't mind."
"I don't." Harry said.
"Well, since you look tired, I'm going to let you get rest. Bye."
Harry couldn't answer since he already collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
When he woke up it was 5:30 p.m.. He showered, changed and headed down to the Great Hall where Ron and Hermione were already sitting there. He sat down and started to fill his plate. Before Ron and Hermione could ask he told them about his day. Hermione leaned over and whispered to him, "What are you doing after dinner? We haven't met in such a long time"
Harry said "I have to help a student, she's new and doesn't know anything, so that will take about half an hour, so meet me in my room at 7:30-7:45 I should be there." Ron hadn't noticed their whispering since Dean had started talking to him.
Ron continued to chat about his day as did Hermione to Harry, and Harry looked down at his watch and saw that it was 6:58 he had to be down in two minutes and he forgot his keys in his bedroom. Quickly Harry rushed off. By the time he got downstairs he was five minutes late and Rose was standing outside the door waiting. "Sorry, I forgot my keys."
"It's okay" She said
Once inside, Harry had given her a little bit more help than what he had done during class and more like the one he gave in the First years class so by the next time she had class she would be able to do it by herself. Once she had everything down she said, "Thank you so much, you took time that you could use to hang with your friends to spend it with me, no other teacher has done that to me yet."
Harry blushed and said "Well, I know how it feels. I didn't get this class at first and then I had one of my friends help me."
"Why didn't you ask your partner?" Rose asked
"Because I was always paired up with this kid Draco Malfoy, and me and him never got along, he always called me Potter." Harry said. Rose laughed at the way he said Potter.
"So are you like a legend or something?" Rose asked
"Yeah, there is this really dark lord, He-who-must-not-be-named, he was against my parents, came to my house when I was little, killed them, tried to kill me and didn't succeed, and I have a scar to prove it," He lifted his hair so she could see the scar, "So for the last 16 years of my life, he has tried to get back at me and kill me." Harry said
"Wow, so he like really strong?" Rose asked.
Harry nodded and said "Yeah, and he couldn't kill me so that's his mission in life, to kill me and the ones that I love, so I'm always afraid to go too far into a relationship, especially with my girlfriend"
"Who's your girlfriend?" Rose asked
"Hermione Granger," Harry said.
"Wow she must be really lucky." Rose said,
"Why is that?" Harry asked
"You must be the hottest boy in school and you're sweet." Rose said, she kissed him on the cheek, "Thanks again," and left.
Harry sat there dumbfounded for a few minutes, then he cleaned up, gathered his things, locked up, and headed up for his room, when he glanced at his watch it was 8:10. 'Shit I'm late, man I cant believe I spent more time cleaning up than tutoring her.' He got in his room as fast as he could and as soon as he did he started to apologize, but no one was in there. Instead there was a note on the bed.
-
Harry,
If you ever want to say hello to your girlfriend again, come to the Astronomy tower at 8:20.
-
Who the hell would do this to him?
He grabbed his wand and ran up to the Astronomy tower to find Hermione bound to a chair, and a person standing next to her. Who?
"Hello Harry," the person said.
Oh yeah, I'm obsessed with time, notes, the word 'etc.' and mysterious endings, sorry but
PS. My name is not Rose, my conformation name is but not my name.
