It was three weeks into the new school year and Hermione had seen neither hide nor hair of Henry whatsoever. So instead of worrying her self she tried her best to act as if everything was normal. That is until she walked into her Defense class and saw him talking with Professor Snape.

"Come on dad let me teach just this once".

"Henry you have nowhere near enough experience to teach this kind of class".

"True but you said it yourself that you need to get some rest, so why don't you just go back to your room and take the nap you so badly need".

"Is there anyway to make you just give up?"

"Nope all you can do is give in"

"God I hate you so much".

"Your only saying that cause you haven't slept in a few weeks".

"True"

"So is there anything I need to know?"

"No but do me one favor whatever you do just keep all of them alive till the bell rings".

And with that Snape left the room happy that he was finally going to get some quiet time to sleep. Henry spent the first ten minutes of class taking attendance and saying everyone's name wrong just for the fun of it (even Hermione's who seemed to have her face stuck in a scowl the whole time).

"Ok as you all heard I'm not much of a teacher really I'm just covering for my dad who hasn't slept in who knows how long. So today instead of reviewing whatever it was he was teaching you yesterday, I figured you could learn about dark curses from America" Henry explained.

"What the difference it's not like death eaters will use American spells when they have the unforgivable?" Seamus asked smugly.

"While we have curses that kind of have the same effect as the unforgivable the US unforgivable are of larger numbers and are just as dangerous and unblock able" Henry began to explain. "There are spells such as Gorgo charm which can turn a man into stone or the Vampir curse which draws the blood out of someone's body. Or maybe that's just not dangerous enough for you since it from America".

"Is there anyway you can show us one?" Lavender pled to everyone's surprise.

"Yeah thanks to a little loophole they placed in the law as long as I'm using a non lethal for teaching purposes I'm allowed to use it" Henry explained.

"So are you going to?" Neville asked genuinely interested.

"Uhh sure Miss Granger, do you mind coming up here to assist me?" he asked. Though Hermione was a bit curious about what he was up to she knew that it was not going to be good on her part.

"Henry what are you about to do?" she asked out of the side of her mouth.

"Solve the problem of how we can hangout without people asking questions?" he replied.

"And how are you planning to do that?"

"Lufian"

Hermione just blinked as she watched Henry lower his wand and for some reason it just seemed so irresistible. Her eyes stayed stuck on his mouth as he talked about something her mind wouldn't let her register until finally their lips finally meet into a seductive yet passionate kiss.

"Finire"

"So as you can all see when under the spell you'd be able to everything you would usually do, its just you'd kind of be stuck wanting to screw the person's brains out" Henry laughed. Well he did until he saw her run out of the room crying and had to chase her all the way to Fat Lady's portrait.

"So am I right in assuming that you're upset?" he asked only to be answered by slamming the entrance door in his face.

"Henry, what kind of an idiot are you?" Snape yelled as he slapped his only son upside the head.

"Why on earth would you even think of doing something that stupid?" Pansy added as she kicked off her shoes and stretched out on professor Snape's couch. (F.Y.I: yes Snape is planning to kill her for it)

After noticing Pansy and Snape were staring at him the whole time Draco added a quick, "Dumbass" to save his own skin.

"What I just wanted her to know how I felt and if I did it wrong well then my bad, but guys I need advice right now not ridicule" Henry sighed.

"Could just forget about her, I can always just set you up with a cute pure blood girl" Draco yawned.

"Well you could always just bring her flowers and beg" Pansy tried.

"Or you could just do what I did, stay up in front of the portrait all night to apologize................then give her the flowers and beg" said Snape.

"There's no way of getting out of begging is there" Henry winced.

"No chance in hell, believe me when I tell you even that might not work. Both women and Gryffindors are abnormally stubborn so you might just have your work cut out for you" Snape explained.

"Alright then I guess I'll go screw myself over then" Henry replied before leaving the room.

"So are you two going to go help him out?" Snape asked smiling as he watched them shake their heads.

"We have no part in this matter" Pansy replied.

"Well just don't get caught then" Snape said with a nod knowing full well they were planning to spy on him.

"Will you just let me in?!" Henry yelled for the fifth time in a row.

"No, as I have said before no password no entrance" the Fat lady replied calmly.

"Ok no more being polite then, Fantos" Henry screamed before running through both the portrait and passage way.

Henry took a look around the Gryffindor common room, the red and gold was a bit over the top but since it wasn't as over done as the Slytherin silver and green he guess it was kind of ok. But that's when he noticed the group of girls staring daggers right at him. From as far as his memory went he had only met two of them personally, Ginny Weasley (who looked the most pissed off) and Romilda Vane (who had offered him a seat in her compartment during the trip to school).

"And just what do you think you're doing here?" Ginny sneered.

"To beg and apologize, oh and nice sneer by the way" Henry replied.

"And give us one good reason why we should let you?" someone else asked.

"Besides the fact that I can out duel all of you without a second thought" Henry said before hearing someone laugh. "How about I take all six of you at once? If I win you guys will not only let me go up there but if this doesn't work you'll help with any future plans I might have".

"And if we win?" Romilda asked already thinking of the possibilities.

"That's for each of you to decide" Henry said with a smile.

Without a moment notice six different spell flew straight at him. Henry wasn't exactly sure what other spells where used but he did notice the rosy color that only the Lufian charm gave off.

"One of you isn't playing fair "Henry shouted as he dived behind one of the couches.

"ltel Demolire" Henry muttered as six beams shot out of his wand and knock two of the girls flat on their backs. But before he could react the couch he was standing behind had vanished into a cloud of dust. Without even thinking he rolled under a near by table and kicked out two of its legs from under it causing it to fall on its side. He then grabbed a nearby piece of parchment and began to rip it up into a crudely made paper doll.

"Onimyuji" he said as he poked at its center. And in a flash of dark red light a man with spiky black hair and a pair of black wings appeared next to him.

"Dark as you may have noticed I kind of need a little help" Henry grinned.

"A little?" Dark said as a red colored spell whizzed past his head.

"Just go disarm them" Henry growled as his friend disappeared in a swirl of black feathers.

"Ester " Henry shouted when he saw Ginny run behind the table. He smiled when he saw the look on her face when she finally realized she couldn't move.

"Labi "he yelled as the girl he now realized was Lavender Brown jumped over the table and tried to hit him with a stunner. Why did I call Dark again he thought to himself before he barely dodged the Lufian charm once again. "Oh yeah that's why" Henry said as it began to rain black feathers.

"Well they're all out cold" Dark said as he helped Henry up.

"Good now clean up the mess while I go sell my soul" Henry joked.

"You really hate apologizing don't you?" Dark said as he watched Henry walk up to the stairs.

"Hove" he said remembering the alarm that was set on the girls dorms. He began to get more and more nervous as he floated up the stairway, until he finally saw the sign on one of the doors marking it as the 6th year dorms. The room was large and circular with 5 beds yet only one of which was currently occupied.

"Hermione" he said as he made his way over to her bed.

"I knew it had to be you" she said as she turned over to glare at him.

"Of course it was me who else do you know that's willing to have a duel in the middle of the night just to work up his confidence" Henry joked.

"The boy who actually tried to offer a dragon a tic tac needs to work up his confidence before apologizing?" she smiled.

"Well you just so happened to be my first" he replied.

"No wonder you're so bad at it" she said as she sat up

"Does that mean I'm off the hook?" Henry asked.

"We'll see" she said before pulling him into a hug.
