Now.........on with the story!


Harry woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. He yawned and sat up. When he reached over to grab his glasses, ho noticed blood on his pillow. He quickly turned it over so Sirius couldn't see. Harry got dressed and looked for Sirius. He finally spotted him sitting on Ron's bed in his human form.

"Dumbledore wants to see you." said Sirius.

"Okay." said Harry. Sirius changed back into a dog and Harry followed him to Dumbledore's office.

"Please sit down." said Dumbledore. Sirius changed back into a human and they sat down. "I wanted to tell you that your Occlumency lessons will be stopped until you have caught up in your regular classes." said Dumbledore to Harry.

"Okay." said Harry.

"Please wait outside while I speak to Sirius." said Dumbledore. Harry got up and went to the hallway. He grinned to himself and pulled an Extendable Ear from his pocket. He inserted one end into his ear and the other end snaked under the door.

"Something strange happened last night when Harry and I were going back to Gryffindor Tower. Harry nearly walked into Malfoy, who began insulting him. Harry walked towards Malfoy with his wand out. He looked like he was in a trance. Then, his eyes glowed red and he cast the Cruciatus Curse on Malfoy, but for some reason the curse didn't work and Harry was blasted backwards. I looked at him and his eyes were green again and he didn't seem to know what had happened." said Sirius.

"I'm pretty sure Voldemort has a piece of the scepter now. That's the only way he could have possessed Harry without his scar hurting." said Dumbledore.

Harry didn't hear what Sirius said next because at that instant, his shoulder was grabbed by someone who had come up the stairs while Harry had been eavesdropping. Harry turned around and his stomach dropped. Snape was standing there glaring at him.

"What were you doing Potter?" asked Snape.

"Nothing." mumbled Harry.

"Then what's this?" asked Snape, reaching down and grabbing the Extendable Ear from the floor where Harry had dropped it.

"One of the Weasleys' inventions, eh Potter? I thought Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes were banned from the castle. Detention and fifty points from Gryffindor." said Snape nastily.

Harry pulled his wand out and said in a high cold voice, "Crucio." The spell did not work and Harry flew backwards several feet. The door to Dumbldore's office came flying open.

"What happened?" asked Dumbledore.

'I don't know." said Harry.

"He tried to attack me. His eyes were glowing red." said Snape.

He sounded like he was scared. Harry didn't know why. All he remembered was Snape yelling at him and the next thing he knew, he was lying on the floor. Sirius walked over to him and helped him stand up.

"I take it you heard our conversation, Harry?" asked Dumbledore, noticing the Extendable Ear being held by Snape. Harry nodded.

"Very well then. You have a right to know. Come back into my office." said Dumbledore. Sirius led Harry back into Dumbledore's office and sat him in a chair.

"I'm going to be frank with you. Voldemort has been possessing you. He has now had you attack two people. The reason no one has been hurt was because Voldemort cannot make you use your wand against another person." said Dumbledore.

"But how come my scar didn't hurt." asked Harry.

"I believe that Voldemort has realized how to use the piece of the scepter he has. We need to locate the other pieces, and quickly, before Voldemort finds them." said Dumbledore.
