Hey guys! I'm sorry this is short, but with everything going on I don't know if I could write anymore in this chapter. If I think of anything, I'll add it to this chapter and post it again! Thanks for sticking with me!

Chapter 6

(Thursday)

Harry woke up to his friends arguing who was going to wake him up. He grinned under the covers, snuggling down into his pillow and laid there till they had stopped arguing. He was going to give who ever got him a hard time.

Soon the dorm got quite and the only sounds were those of the floorboards be walked on.

"Harry," came the whisper by his head, it was Rom. "C'mon, it's time to get up."

Harry didn't respond. An arm came down, clamping on his shoulder and shook him.

"Gerrff," Harry mumbled, trying to roll over and stifling his laughter. Ron tried again, shaking him slightly harder than before. "Go 'way."

"Harry!" Ron exclaimed, poking his shoulder. "Don't make me call in the heavy artillery!" The raven-haired boy still didn't move. "That's it!"

There was a thud then something bounced on the bed. Ron was jumping on his bed!

"Ron!" Harry gasped, sitting up and throwing the covers. "How dare you!" He laughed and got up to jump on the bed, next to his red headed friend. They rest of their dorm mates laughed and left the room, seeing that Harry was now up. Ron and Harry smiled, jumping off the bed and onto the floor.

"Better hurry up before…. Malfoy has a fit."

Harry nodded, "I should. Ok, I'll be right down." He made his way into the bathroom, grabbing his robes along the way. Showering quickly and drying off, Harry dressed and left the dorm with his books and book bag in arm to find his blond friend.

When he reached the common room, there was Ron and 'Mione waiting for him. Harry grinned when he saw how close they were standing and holding hands.

As they're backs were to him, the raven-haired boy couldn't help himself. "Awe! Look at the happy couple!" Harry said extremely loud, clapping his hands and bouncing on the balls of his feet. The two holding hands jumped and whirled around, glaring at the now awake boy.

"Harry!" They screeched, trying to swipe at him. He laughed, running to the portrait and climbing out it, with his friends not too far after him as they ran to catch up. He laughed and spotted the Slytherin blond.

"Bye guys! See you after breakfast!" Harry waved to his friends before moving in and out of the students to get to Draco. Ron and Hermione smiled at each other and walked into the Great Hall after them, going to the Gryffindor table.

Draco and Harry entered the Great Hall and walked over to the Slytherin table, where they sat and had breakfast. No one noticed the older, ex-Gryffindor sitting at the head table, talking with Professor Snape.

Dumbledore rose, just as Draco's group of Slytherin was going to leave, to make an announcement.

"Good morning students! I trust that you have all slept well. Joining us today, as a substitute teacher for DADA and as a past professor, is Professor Remus Lupin." The students broke into a hushed whisper as Harry nearly gave himself whiplash by turning his head so fast to look at the table. "Thank you and have a good day!"

Harry grinned and turned back around to look at Draco, "That's why he hasn't answered! He was coming here! Sneaky, sneaky." The raven-haired boy giggled and left the table, going up to the head table near his dear friend.

"Moony!" Harry called, grinning and walking faster to the table where he was swept into a big hug from said person. "I've missed you!"

"I missed you too, pup," Remus said, tickling the boy in his arms and kissing him on the forehead.

Harry pulled back to look at him, and quickly put on a straight face. "You are one sneaky, sneaky wolf…"

The werewolf laughed and brought him into another big hug, "And guess whom I learned that from?"

He laughed and hugged the older man tightly. "Will you come with us though? I would like you too… That way, we both can get make-overs and you can get your special someone."

"Harry! Not so loud!" Remus smiled just as Draco walked up to the table. "Mister Malfoy."

"Professor Lupin." Draco greeted, before turning to Harry. "Come on, we're going to be late if we don't leave now."

"Ok, Draco. Moony, can I stop by your classroom after classes are over?" Harry asked, looking up at his favorite werewolf, the only werewolf he knew.

"Sure, we can talk then." They hugged again and Moony dropped a kiss on his forehead before Harry and Draco left.

'They're cute together.' Remus thought to himself as he sat back down to finish his semi-warm breakfast.

The rest of the day seemed to go faster, now that Remus was around. And so Harry and Draco, along with Blasie, Pansy, Ron and Hermione managed to sit in the library to work on their homework before dinner started.

Harry was bouncing off the walls with excitement, "I can't wait! I haven't seen Moony for a while now! I'm glad he's here!"

The group watched him, eyeing him carefully. They didn't want to get too close and get hurt or something, the way he was bouncing in his seat. Harry grinned to them and went back to his parchment in front of him with Transfiguration questions on it. Ron and Hermione looked at each other and smiled, happy to see Harry smile.

Everyone had quickly finished up their homework and was now sitting, reading quietly. Hermione and Blasie were engrossed in a magical creature book, while Ron was reading a new Quidditch book and Pansy a Charms book. Draco and Harry were sitting close together, looking at another magical creatures book.

Soon, the time came around for dinner and the group left the library to the Great Hall.

"I found out a new magical creature! They didn't have a picture of it, but it sounded so beautiful. I wish I could see one myself." Hermione gushed as soon as they were out of the library.

"Really? What was it called? I may have read it in my book," questioned Pansy, looking over the boys, who were in the middle, at her.

"An Anpyrel," she sighed, clutching the said book to her chest. "They're part angel, part vampire. And they can be anyone, they don't have to have the parents of an angel or vampire, they are just simply there.

"Also, they have wing like an angel but they're black and tattered looking, just a bit though. But they can fly with them, and very well too. Their wingspans can be very big or be very small, depending on how old and how powerful they are. The smallest recorded is 6 feet and the biggest it 12 feet."

Pansy sighed, "Sounds lovely. I think I read a little paragraph about them in Magical Pregnancies. Something about bearing kids."

"Yes, submissive males are the usually the ones that bear the children, but also can impregnate females. And—"

Before she could go on, Draco cut her off by saying, "Hermione, is there a way to detect if someone is this anpyrel?"

"Yes, why do you ask?" She looked at, questionably.

"Oh… just curious, you know. I think it's a potion with the person's blood in it. I'd like try the potion because I am a potion master," he said haughtily, tossing his head to one side and winking at Harry and Blasie. Harry giggled, while Blasie smirked and nodded towards Harry. The blond Slytherin nodded and smirked back.

"Yes, that's right, but the ingredients are kind of rare…"

"That's all right, I'll ask Sev," Draco smirked and tossed his head again to the left.

Hermione snorted and turned away from him, going back to discussing the anpyrel with Pansy. Harry giggled at his two friends antics and went back to talking with Ron about Quidditch. The group made their way into the Great Hall, where upon entering the student's were staring at them. The Slytherin's glaring at the Gryiffindor's; the Gryiffindor's glaring at the Slytherin's.

"I think we should make a stand and a pact." Harry said to them, motioning everyone to move closer. "We should make our own table at the back and eat there, to get over this silly rival. I'm sick of it."

He rolled his eyes, motioning to the other students. Blasie and Pansy looked at the Gryff table, while 'Mione and Ron glanced at the Slyth table.

"That's a great idea Harry! How big of a table?" Hermione, one who is always on top of things, asked as she pulled out her wand to conjour the right size table for everyone to sit at.

"It's got to be big enough for 6 people, but plus the food, so about the size of a small dinning room table. That's not too big, yet not too small, one that seats at least 10 would be okay too." Blasie said, pretending to be smart.

"Thank you captain obvious!" Draco rolled his eyes at him and elbowed him in the gut, while Harry grinned at Blasie.

Blasie, after catching his breathe, said, "I am not captain obvious, I am Blasie!"

Hermione rolled her eyes and looked at Harry, who nodded about the table sized talked about. She smiled and nodded, "Have a seat everyone. I'll call Dobby to get us dinner." They sat down as she called to Dobby, who was more than happy to help. The small house-elf quickly got medium sized bowels filled with the dinner foods and set them on the table.

"Dig in guys." The students sitting at the table thanked Dobby for all the trouble and his help.

Soon the bowels were passed around, everyone filling his or her plate with a little bit of everything. The group was doing just fine sitting with each other and talking, ignoring the death glares in their direction from the other students. Draco and Harry had a good time; spending time with their friends, together and for once they didn't fight.

But dinner ended all too soon and they were forced to clean up. Harry banished all the plates and dishes used to the kitchens and Hermione put the table back while the rest of the group banished their own chairs.

"Well, that was fun." Pansy said to the group as they left the Great Hall. Harry and Draco grinned at her and she smiled back, hooking her arm through Harry's.

"Harry," Hermione called to him. He turned his head to look at him. "We're going back to the common room, are you coming?"

"No, Draco and I had plans for something to do after dinner. Thanks anyways! I'll be up later." Hermione nodded and dragged Ron away, who was sputtering about leaving Harry alone. The group parted ways; Hermione and Ron going up to Gryffindor Tower, Pansy and Blasie down to the dungeons and Draco and Harry went toward the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and teachers rooms.
