This Chapter:
Now.........on with the story!
"Harry!" he heard someone say.
He opened his eyes to find himself lying on the floor in Dumbledore's office. How did I get on the floor, he wondered. Harry sat up and looked around. Sirius was kneeling next to him with a shocked look on his face, while Dumbledore sat calmly at his desk.
"What happened?" asked Harry.
"Why don't you sit in a chair and I will explain." said Dumbledore. Harry immediately jumped up and sat in a chair.
"Well Harry, I believe that you are the heir of Merlin. Given the unusual events occurring after you were poisoned and what happened just now with the scepter piece, I have no reason to doubt my theory." said Dumbledore.
"I already know I'm the heir." said Harry. For the first time that he could remember, Dumbledore was speechless.
After several minutes of silence, Dumbledore asked, "How did you find out?"
"It was a sort of…..dream when I was poisoned. Merlin took me to a castle and told me, then he gave me his powers." said Harry.
"Might as well tell him the rest, Dumbledore." said Sirius.
"Harry, you are also Gryffindor's heir." said Dumbledore. Harry sat back in his seat, stunned.
"Harry, I think you should go to class now. Stay here Sirius, I'd like to talk to you." said Dumbledore. Harry got up and left. He walked quickly down to the dungeons. He was nearly to Snape's classroom when he heard someone call his name.
"Harry!" He turned around.
"Hey Cho!" he said. Cho raised her wand.
This could not be good, thought Harry. He started backing away from Cho. He wasn't sure what she was going to do.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Malatigue." said Cho.
A beam of purplish-blue light sped towards him. He didn't have time to duck. The light hit him in the middle of his chest and he fell backwards. He lay on the stone floor gasping for breath. Cho walked over to him and smiled wickedly as she raised her wand.
"Avada Ke-"
"Expelliarmus!" Cho went flying across the hallway and his savior came into view.
"Malfoy." gasped Harry.
Malfoy didn't answer. Instead, he pointed his wand at Harry and muttered something. A bright yellow light swept over him, and he could breathe again. Malfoy then extended a hand to help Harry up, he took it gratefully.
"You saved me, why?" asked Harry.
"Cho's a Death Eater and I'm a spy for the Order. I've got to help keep you safe." whispered Malfoy.
"I was at a meeting, Death Eater, that is, and heard Cho's assignment. I don't think she's going to be a very valuable asset to the Dark Lord anymore."
"C'mon, let's get to class." said Malfoy in a louder voice.
Harry followed Malfoy into Snape's class and took a seat with Ron and Hermione, while Malfoy stopped at Snape's desk and told him something. Yet another surprise. Malfoy was a Death Eater spy for Dumbledore and was to help protect him. Snape didn't look very well. Harry wondered how he managed to get away from Voldemort.
"Potter, you are excused. This time." said Snape menacingly.
"Today we will be making a calming Draught. Instructions are on the board." said Snape. He turned around and sat at his desk. Harry got out his cauldron and collected the ingredients. At the end of the period, he had managed to create a potion that was nearly the shimmery pink of Hermione's. He put some in a flask, corked it, and took it up to Snape's desk feeling satisfied.
"Potter, stay here after class." said Snape.
Uh-oh, what did he do now, thought Harry. Hr went back to his table and cleaned up. When the bell rang, he remained seated while everyone else left. When the last person exited the room, Snape closed the door.
"Silencio." he said and walked over to Harry.
"Mr. Malfoy told me about Cho. I must tell you know that that was not the only plan. The Dark Lord has many plans to take your life. Be careful around the school. You don't know who you can trust. You may go now." said Snape.
Harry quickly left the room, his mind reeling. He was not safe in the one place he had thought safe. A voice broke through his thoughts.
"What'd he want?" asked Ron. Ron and Hermione had been waiting for him.
"Nothing." said Harry and walked off.
He wasn't going to tell them what Snape had told him, it would only make them worry more. Ron and Hermione quickly followed him. Their next class was Charms.
