A/N: P

VI.

Things were hostile the next day in classes. The Gryffindors felt betrayed and Ron was just stirring up even more trouble then that which stirred it's self up.

Harry, Ginny and Hermione were under constant surveillance by the Slytherins. They protected their own and did not want any casualties on the first day. The rest of the Slytherin house was excited about their new housemates. Ginny had spent a lot of time down there over the years and Harry was getting to be a constant, never did you see Draco without Harry nearby. Draco was protective of his small boyfriend and wouldn't let him get hurt by anyone, whether it was a Gryffindor or an angry Slytherin.

Ron was up in the Gryffindor common room rallying up the Gryffindors. He went on about how those evil Slytherins had brainwashed Hermione and how Harry was obviously working for the Dark Lord now. Then he went on to say that his sister was possessed at one time by Tom Riddle, and she was just as bad. He blathered on about all the things that had happened over the years, how Harry would never let anyone go with him when he finally faced Voldemort…but would come back alive every time. No one survived the Dark Lord unless they were working with him.

The sad thing was, everyone believed him. And it wasn't just because of the fear tactics. Ron's lies made sense to someone who didn't know the truth or know Harry very well. The small boy generally kept to himself.

This began the plan to storm the Slytherin house…and to hell with hurting them Ron said, you had to completely wipe out the scum before they could hurt them first.

Over in the Slytherin commons planning of another type was taking place. As a group they had decided that the sooner Lord Voldemort was out of the picture the better.

Harry said he had tried to use magic to kill him plenty of times...and it never lasted long if it did work. He explained the bond between them and their wands before falling silent. It was quite a problem, no one knew how to get rid of that monster.

"Harry, you said you've tried using magical ways to kill him…but what if we used muggle? I mean…he can come back if you AK him…but not if you cut his bloody head off…" Hermione said, frustrated.

"I know it would be harder to do…we would have to work together and…"

"Then bind and destroy his soul. But there are ancient rituals that can do that." Blaise cut in. "we've been studying ancient magic…and the time before Grindewald, the dark lord before him, they managed to bind his soul. If we can't find that spell then we can write our own. The magic we use nowadays is nothing like theirs. We would have to cast a circle and stuff…call upon the gods but if it would work…I'm willing to try it."

"Those are all good points…" Draco said.

"But the prophecy does say that Harry has to kill him. Would you be able to do it Harry? There is a difference between wanted to hurt a person and actually physically being able to do it. With magic you just want it…point and shoot. With the way we would have to do it you would need to physically be able to kill him.

"I know…" Harry said quietly. "He has ruined my life…I hate him…and, and I think I could do it. Especially if that would get rid of him once and for all."

"So we have an idea…all we need now is a plan…"

The decision-making went well into the night; they chose Halloween as the day to execute their plans. In memory of Harry's parents. They wanted it all over before Christmas so the wizarding world could celebrate without fear of finding a family member dead under the tree.

But sadly this left them with a very short time frame to work with. They had two weeks to either find, or create the spell. And get the weapon to kill the Dark Lord, and be ready to perform the spell. But they also had to put their affairs in order, just in case. But it was the plan to go in kill him, bind the spell and at the same time cast a spell on all those with the mark. Putting them into a deep sleep and apparating them all to the Shrieking Shack where they could take care of them.

The next topic to discuss was Dumbledore…while they didn't want to live under the tyranny of Voldemort, living under Dumbledore wouldn't be much better. He was slowly killing their race…someone would have to take command and discredit the old man. Unless they could find some other way to take him and his order out of the picture.

"I say we kill him along with Voldemort." Theo spat.

"Its one thing to kill the Dark Lord…and another entirely to get rid of Dumbledore." Pansy pointed out logically. "If we were to do it, we would have to make it look like an accident…or…or-" she grinned. "Or we let Voldemort do the job for us!"

"How though?" Hermione asked…considering the proposition.

"Well last time we found out that between Dumbledore and Voldemort, Dumbledore would win by a hair."

"So we have to weaken Dumbledore before he goes. We could poison him to slowly deplete his magical resources, and then trick him into coming to save Harry and have him bring the whole order. The death eaters would take out the key players for us and then Dumbledore would fall and Voldemort would be weakened I'm sure, then we could kill him, bind the soul and apparate the death eaters to the shrieking shack."

"Take them all out at once…it's brilliant!"

"Not only that…but we'd be free." They all smiled.

"Enough planning for tonight…we can start finding that spell tomorrow, or creating one. It would certainly be less conspicuous if we built it ourselves, but we don't know if it would work..."

"I'll sleep on it and we can figure it out tomorrow." Hermione said standing sleepily.

Everyone traded good nights and headed off to their beds.

By the way...I SWEAR I'M NOT DONE THE STORY...I do not know who would suggest such a thing looks around suspiciously dives under desk goodday.
