Ch 4
Harry and a few others, including Viper and Draco, in the Great Hall gaped. "Ryder?"
Ryder looked at Harry and Viper. He grinned. "You weren't expecting me were you?"
Harry laughed. "No, I was expecting someone like Snape."
Ryder smirked. "Always expect the unexpected…"
Harry also smirked, "…and always hold a secret in plain sight."
This was spoken in an under tone. The only other that heard was Viper. Ryder continued up to the Head table. Dumbledore leaned to him when Ryder sat in his seat. "You know Mr. Potter?"
Ryder nodded. "I met him over the summer and we have become friends."
Dumbledore nodded and went back to his breakfast.
Viper and Harry were talking. Then Professor McGonagall came up. "Here Marie. This is your schedule."
Viper took it and looked it over. Harry looked over it and grinned. "It's exactly like mine."
Viper smiled "Good."
She then whispered to Harry with an evil grin on her face. "We have potions with Ryder first today. How about we make it something to be remembered."
Harry grinned back. "Yes, and I know thee perfect thing to do. We are going to give the Weasely twins a run for their money."
He then leaned in and whispered his plan to Viper. When he was done she smirked. "Its time to introduce Hogwarts to 'Night Viper'."
Harry also smirked and nodded. They then left the Great Hall to get their prank ready.
Harry and Viper were the first ones to enter the potions classroom. They took out their wands and waved them in the air. They then took their seats. The classroom soon filled up. Professor Ryder was the last person to walk into the room. He stood up front and started talking. "Hello. I am Professor Ryder. Now, my rules in the classroom are as follows: No talking when I am and always follow directions. The potion we are doing today is…"
Ryder stopped when there was an explosion. Ryder rolled his eyes when the room turned pink and everyone in it turned lime-green. Ryder himself turned multicolored. There was another explosion, Draco stood up, and started to do a jig while singing 'I am a little teacup'. Another explosion went through the room and two cauldrons near the front spouted multi-colored sparks. Letters formed in the air spelling: Hope you enjoyed!
Yours truly,
Night Viper
The words exploded and everything went back to normal. Draco sat down blushing and at glared Harry and Viper. Ryder came up to the grinning Viper and Harry. "Even though it was a good show 'Night Viper', I will take 25 points from Griffindor for the interruption of my class. Oh, and Mr. Potter see me after class."
When Ryder finished speaking a small amount of pain shot through Harry's right arm. Harry nodded. Ryder went back up to the front. "Now as I was saying before I was interrupted, the potion we are doing today is the Draught of Ruin. Can anyone tell me about this potion?"
Draco immediately raised his hand and Viper snickered. Ryder nodded at him. Draco started speaking. "The Draught of Ruin is a poison. It almost immediately kills the person by attacking the heart. It is also untraceable."
"Very good, Mr. Malfoy. Ten points to Slytherin."
Draco smirked at Harry and Viper, who in return just rolled their eyes.
The class went by quickly and soon ended. The bell rang and everyone gathered their things and left. When Harry and Ryder were the only ones left, Ryder closed the door and put a silence ward up. He then turned to Harry. "I have a job for you, Oidhche."
"What is it?"
"It is for both you and Viper, but I wanted to tell you first. I need you two to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic. In the Department of Mysteries there is a prophecy. I need you to get it. The Dark Lord has tried to send in some of his deatheaters but they have all failed. Because of this I am sending in you and Viper. Tell her and you will do the job tonight."
Harry nodded. He then turned and left.

A/n: Earlier I had that Viper transferred in as a 6th year. I have changed that, so she is now in 5th year. The story takes place in Harry's 5th year. It will have some elements from the Order of the Phoenix.
