Chapter Two

Harry saw Draco only a few minutes after the Viktor affair in potions class. This was their chance to research some more of the ingredients they needed for the antidote. He was confused. He didn't know what to think. After being enemies for so long it didn't make sense. Draco still wanted to keep his pride so he made no intimation of liking Harry in public. In fact – it was almost normal. The three usually sat at the back of the classroom where they wouldn't be seen but Harry wanted to make the most of this opportunity.

"Ok class" Professor Snape went on "We will be making enlarging potions today as a revision of your past seven years at Hogwarts. This is a simple potion and most of you will be able to make it easily" Harry listened attentively as Professor Snape went over the instructions. When it was time to collect the ingredients from the side of the dungeon Harry and Draco went searching around the room for what they needed for the antidote. Harry was searching as quickly and fervently as possible. He knew why but wouldn't believe it – no it couldn't be. Suddenly a deep voice powered over them.

"Mr Potter and Mr Malfoy, what do you think you are doing?"

"Looking for the ingredients" Harry quickly replied

"I believe they are set up on those tables Mr Potter, five points from Gryffidor and Mr Malfoy – kindly explain what you are doing?"

"We ran out of pondweed Professor Snape"

"Please leave that up to me Draco, but 10 points to Slytherin for diligence"

"Yes, sir" They both gathered their ingredients and sat down.

"How did you go?" Hermione whispered to Harry

"Not good"

"Let me have a go" Hermione walked up to Professor Snape and says

"I believe the effects would be multiplied if you put in Fairy-wings" She said in a knowing tone "Seeing as I have finished my potion I try it?"

"Well, it is very unauthorised, but Draco must assist you"

"Very well Professor Snape, we will gather the ingredients now" Harry watched in amazement as Hermione tamed the teacher.

"Ooowww" Harry said rubbing his arms

"Why did you poke me Ron?"

"Look at Hermione and Draco" Harry looked back over

"What?" he asked

"They are actually talking to each other"

"Yeh" Harry stared back over to them. If only Ron knew

After potions they had Divination. The room was hot and misty like always.

"Three to a table please children" Harry, Hermione and Ron all sat down at a table towards the back. Hermione, after long consideration, and a largly influenced talking to by the professor, had decided for the good of her studies, she must take at least one subject that involved little to no less, this was the best alternative . . . They glanced over to see Viktor Krum on the other side of the room. Harry watched as he stared at her with his laser eyes. Harry got up – he couldn't stand it.

"I'll be back in a sec" He walked over to Viktor scolding

"Don't you lay a finger on her Viktor. I will not stand for it and believe me, I'll know" He walked away proudly and sat back down.

"Harry" Hermione said after a while "Don't make a big deal out of it, it doesn't matter that much"

"I don't want anyone harassing one of my friends"

Trelawny made her way over to Harry's table. Whenever she looked into his palm or her glass ball she always saw his death or Voldemort. After seven years he was getting used to it.

"Harry – the bad spirits have cleared" She said closing her eyes and concentrating on something.

"Love . . . . love is in store for you Harry. I don't know who your lover is . . . . a . . . . . . . oh, that is interesting" Trelawney looked at Harry in disbelief.

"Who?" a voice from the other side of the room yelled "Who Trelawny?" Viktor Krum seemed very interested. He watched curiously as Trelawny tried to make out the words.

"You are not at liberty to know Mr Krum" she finally said

"Trelawny, who?" Harry asked anxiously "who?"

"You will just have to wait and see Harry" she whispered in his ear "You'll just have to wait and see"

As they all filed out of the classroom with more homework to worry about Harry passed Draco in the hall.

"Potter! Potter!" Draco slid towards them. Ron looked very confused – very confused.

"Hey Ron, we should get going" Hermione said dragging him down the corridor

"Draco! Don't do that in front of Ron – he doesn't know!" Harry whispered furiously.

"I know" he said smugly "I can't help it if I want to bring havoc to poor Weasley's insignificant life"

"He isn't insignificant – he's a great friend – something which you'll never be"

"Don't break my heart Harry baby,"

"Just stick to the antidote Draco"

"Okay Potter, we'll get together tonight to work on the instructions – be there"

"I'll be there don't you worry Draco"

"I'll bring some scrolls and ink" They walked their separate ways. Ron watched as Harry came toward them.

"Did you give it to him?" Ron asked impatiently

"Aaar . . . yeh Ron . . . Right on the nose" He jumped up and down like a boxer and they walked to their next class.

"Ron?"

"Yeh Harry"

"Could you wait here a second? I need to try something" Ron waited as Harry and Hermione went down the hall a bit and started talking. He waited and waited and waited.

"Sorry we took so long, could you hear what we were saying?"

"Nah" Ron said quite disappointed. He had a feeling he was being discluded from something. Harry would tell him if anything were up so it just passed straight over his head.

"Hey Ron? You coming?" He quickly caught up to Harry and Hermione as they went into Transfiguration.
