Previously in The New Trio:

Harry carefully opened the door to the classroom, there was nobody outside.

¤¤Thank god¤¤.

He sneaked down the dark hall leading to the great hall. He was late, everybody had already gone in to the hall, and he was the last one.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

Chapter 6. The Mark.

Harry stood outside the Great Hall; he calmed his breathing down, pushed the huge doors open and walked in.

The moment the doors were open the whole student body turned around to see if the person they wanted to see had decided to show his face. They were in luck.

The whole hall went silent, they all sat there and stared at him. Harry was quite uncomfortable, they were staring at him like they were trying to figure out the mystery that was Harry Potter.

¤¤Wow, well done wonderboy! Couldn't I have arrived earlier? That would have spared me from making a big entry when I'm the one everybody is taking about¤¤.

Harry lifted his chin and put his arrogant mask on, he wouldn't let them think he was afraid or embarrassed. He walked gracefully towards the Slytherin table like he had all the time in the world and sat down on the table nearest the professors, Draco sat nearest the door.

When Harry walked past Draco he saw that the blonde looked at him in wonder, not in disappointment or accusation like everybody else. Harry felt relieved, though he didn't know why he cared, this was Malfoy for crying out loud!

Harry sat down and started to eat like nothing had happened, it had started to become a habit now. Everybody looked at him like he was about to jump up any moment to declare his alliance with the Dark Lord. Or kill someone for his own entertainment. Look at the new Slytherin for three seconds and then look down again at their cold food, it was everybody's new hobby.

Harry did a good job hiding his wrist from curious eyes, he ate quickly and left the Hall before any brave Gryffindors could come and asked about his wrist.

The door closed with a click and the whispers started.

^^Did anybody see his Dark Mark?^^

^^He acted like nothing had happened, if he was innocent he would surely have stepped forward to show us that he didn't have any dark mark^^.

^^He wore long sleeves to hide it, I'm sure of it, he's a Death Eater^^.

^^Probably He-who-must-not-be-named's right hand^^.

The rumours were many and creative. Snape wanted to stop these crazy kids, but Dumbledore stopped him, he told the professors there was a staff meeting after the meal. Snape still remembered Harry's words from potions, "You might want to speak with professor Dumbledore before you do anything drastic. I believe that if you get it your way now, you might regret your doing so later after the staff meeting today".

**What does that little brat have to hide?**

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Harry went directly to Slytherins common room, what he didn't know was that someone was following him. His follower wanted answers and he wanted them now.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

"Sit down, sit down" said/ordered Dumbledore, all the professors sat down in chairs or sofas. Snape made himself comfortable in 'his' chair, a forest green leather chair which stood in a dark corner of the room. Here he could listen to everything being said without letting anyone see his expressions.

"Like you probably have heard there are rumours going around school about young Harry Potter. Are these rumours true you ask me, well yes and no".

Many professors saw it fitting to raise a eyebrow here.

" However, it's nothing negative. Mr. Potter has like the rumours say a mark on his left wrist, but it's not a dark mark. It's rather the opposite. Harry Potter has received a gift, a unique gift, a gift he can not say no to". Dumbledore told them beaming, though everybody just looked at him with a questioning look on their faces.

"I don't quiet understand Albus" said McGonagall, Dumbledore turned his twinkling eyes towards her and smiled.

"I shall explain; Our dear Merlin have left this world, but not before doing like he pleased. When Merlin whom is our God was about to leave for his resting place he left something of himself down here on earth. When he 'died' half of his magical powers would be given to another wizard whom was worthy the powers. And this lucky wizard is our Mr. Harry Potter. He is now a half God, he has two marks to witness he's the chosen one. One of the marks is one his left wrist while the second is on his upper back. I discovered this when Mr. Potter managed to come out of the trance professor McGonagall put him under. He's now very powerful, this would make him immune against many spells. You could throw a body bind on him and he would only raise an eyebrow.

This is something unique we are witnessing and we have to protect him from the press and other that want to test his powers. If this gets out he will have no chance to have a normal life. He will have the press breathing down his neck 24/7 and he will never get a normal job.

So you understand that we have to keep this a secret, I suggest that we keep us the rumours that he has the Dark mark. This is for the best, we will not comment the case and Mr. Potter will keep quiet, the Mark will never be showed and the public will just believe it was a false rumour.

I will find something to hide the mark he has on his wrist. Oh and there is one more thing I have to tell you; Mr. Potter can talk to Merlin. He can communicate with Merlin through the mark on his wrist. This can be very good for us; he can ask Merlin how to win against the Dark side! But I have to ask you to keep an eye on this boy, I don't want him to use this ability in public that will only cause more questions. So is there anything you want to ask me about?" Beamed Dumbledore, no one said a thing they all just stared at there boss like he just announced that he wanted to become the new Miss Universe.

"Well if you don't have any question you may go, have a lovely day!" The professors stood up and walked out of the meeting looking like mummies.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

Harry stood before the Slytherin common room door and said "Sata". The stone wall opened up and he walked in, to Harry's relief there was nobody there. He collapsed into a soft forest green leather chair before the sparkling fireplace. Harry felt drowsy, he closed his eyes to rest them for a moment, but after a few minutes he was soundless asleep. He didn't hear that the door went up and that his persecutor came towards his chair. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Harry was sleeping when Draco walked in to the common room, in Draco's eyes was this the perfect moment. He sneaked like a hunting tiger towards where Harry was sleeping to get a look at his arm.

***Did he really have the Dark Mark?***

Draco lent over Harry to get a better look.

***Damn it, he's using his arm as a pillow, I can't see anything***.

Draco walked around the chair and tried to drag Harry's arm away from his head. But it was easier said than done, Harry was surprisingly strong when he was unconscious.

*** Oh come on! Move your big head, let me see that hand!***

Draco was beginning to get frustrated, and if you knew Draco you knew that this was a very bad thing. He cursed Harry head under his breath and pulled his arm as hard as he could, which made Harry start to wake up.

***OH SHIT! Fuck! Bugger! Damn! Salazar! Darn! Wanker! Well done blonde, now he's waking up! Where to hide, where to hide? Wait, I'm a Malfoy, I will not hide from Potter, I practically own this room!***

Harry yawned and then groaned, there was nothing comfortable in falling asleep in a chair.

¤¤My back, my poor back¤¤.

He sat up and stretched his arm, mind you he only stretched the arm without the mark, to Draco's frustration who sat in a chair beside him.

When Harry saw Draco he lifted himself up gracefully and looked towards him.

"What do you want Malfoy? Came here to get a look at my wrist did you? Thought you would find out before everybody else. Or did you come here to watch me sleep and think of different ways to humiliate me?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow, Draco suddenly felt warm.

"You know it's so nice to have someone stare at you while you're sleeping" Harry said his words dripping with sarcasm.

Draco frowned.

"Starting to sing my song Potter? You know sarcasm is my language. But don't be so pleased with yourself, I didn't come here to watch over your beauty sleep, I just wanted to get some rest". Draco said with an arrogant smirk.

It was of course a lie, but Draco was a master so he though Harry wouldn't see through it.

"Oh I see, you were just resting, but tell me why didn't you just go up to your far more comfortable bed in the dorm?" Harry asked innocently.

***Oh shit, busted!*** But a Malfoy never gives in.

"It's not that comfortable in the dorm, it's pretty cold, but down here it was so I of course chose to rest down here where it's warm. Are you to stupid to understand that Potter?"

"Is that your final answer Malfoy?"

Harry was grinning from ear to ear.

¤¤Lala Lala, Malfoy is caught in the act, Malfoy is caught in the act!¤¤

Draco looked at the new Slytherin as if he was a run away psychopath.

***WTF***.

"Yes well, if that is your final answer then why doesn't it look like you have closed your eyes for more that two seconds".

Draco blinked ***Potter is starting to freak me out, what is he on about?***

Harry just continued his questioning.

"And why pray tell is there a hill of books in your chair? If you at all wanted to get some rest then you would have taken the books out of the chair wouldn't you, it isn't very comfortable to sleep on hard pointy books have I heard". Harry sent Draco an innocent smile, but his green eyes were glowing with mischief.

¤¤Mooohhahahahah¤¤.

***Oh fuck, he's good, damn it. Well I no wonder why he ended up in the serpent house***.

"You disgust me Potter, stop sticking your long nose in other peoples business, there are consciences, there is little you can do when you wake up with one less body part!"

Draco sent Harry a angry glare and stormed out of the common room. Harry sat and watched the door slide into place again. A catlike smirk smile crept over his face and he started to laugh quietly. Draco's pupils had enlarged when Harry told him about the hill of books behind him, it was a valuable moment.

¤¤Bulls eye¤¤

Harry Potter: One. Draco Malfoy: Nill.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

Harry went to bed early that evening, but he didn't sleep, he could risk to have Draco, Goyle or Crabb looking at his arm while he was asleep. If they got to know what he had on his wrist then the whole would know after an hour. And how was he supposed to get out of that delicate spot?

He could almost hear the awful questions:

"How did you get it?"

"When did you get it?"

"Did it hurt?"

"Why didn't you say anything, I would have told everybody right away if I was accused of being a Death Eater. You could have ended up in Azkaban; everybody would have been shocked if the rumours about you being a Death Eater had leaked out of Hogwarts".

Yes Harry could just imagine the annoying questions. He would have to explain it over and over again. Maybe he could have just told them; no comment, no comment. Or it's Albus Dumbledore's fault, he made me do it, I wanted to tell the public but he would have cursed me if I did. It was so hard to keep it a secret, but I had to do it if I wanted to live, Dumbledore is a powerful and cruel wizard. Hehe, that may work.
