Oh wow, I received so many alerts! (And reviews!)
You guys are awesome
S-Wanderer999: Sirius actually did not get released at the same time/the same way as Bellatrix.
While she tried to kill Harry, Sirius was still locked up in Azkaban. Everything will be explained
eventually so please be patient! (And I do hope you'll keep on reading ;))
As for the parings Fleur will be number 1. I really don't like canon pairings so Harry/Ginny will be
out of the question. She will however play an important part in Harry's life.
kiwi1231&HPfan4eva: Thank you for your votes, Harry/Fleur will be most likely to happen.
immortal6666: Thank you. I realize it's a bit jumbled. It is my first fanfic in English and I have
trouble with expressing what I really mean since English isn't my first/native language.
I do hope that everything will be clearer when I post the next couple of chapters.
Reviews are always appreciated!

Chapter 2: Ain't No Rest For The Wicked
"And I'm back" Harry whispered to no one in particularly. Tired from the trip Harry only wanted to
sleep, however luck was not on his side as he ran into Ronald Weasley on his way to the common room.
"Back from one of your trips?" stated Ron more than asked. Harry signed. "I don't have time
for you Ginger, move." Ron made no indication that he was going to move so Harry simply walked
around him. "Sure, getting your eyes checked at right?, What kind of idiot believes that kind of
excuse!" He was nearly screaming now. "Everybody knows you're a bloody death eater. Not hard to
miss since you have a mass murderer you call a mother." Harry stopped in his track, attempting to
style his hair with his hand. An habit he had whenever he tried hard not to kill someone.
"You know," Harry spat, "You're lucky I'm too tired to curse you."
Deciding that he was the more responsible of the two of them, Harry once more attempted to get to
the common room and get the long desired nap he deserved, something once again stopped him.
Weasley just drew his wand. "Really Ronald, what are you planning to do with that, throw it at me or
something?" the taunted. His hand had already found his own wand hidden in his sleeve.
One move and your dead, give me one reason.
"And what do we have here, a Weasley knowing how to hold a wand?" Harry rolled his eyes.
Nope, now he never was going to get any sleep.
"I hope you weren't hoping to attack anyone with it, were you Weasley?" the blond sneered.
He already had his own wand in his hand and stood next to Harry. "Last time you tried to attack one
of your superiors you spat out snails for an entire week, or so the rumor goes." He laughed. "And
good to see everything went fine Harry. You know, regarding your eyes." His grin grew even wider.
"Yes, just peachy. I actually am this close to collapsing right here on this floor, so if you just put your
wand away Ginger I will forget this ever happened and I can go to sleep."
"Aw come on Harry, he won't get away that easily!" Draco raised his wand. "Let's see-"
"Let's see what mister Malfoy?" Bollocks. Harry turned around to see Snape standing behind them.
"Magic in the school halls is prohibited, you three should know that."
It was obvious that neither of them expected to get caught, judging by the look on their faces.
Harry however was growing only more irritated. He just wanted to sleep.
"Draco was just showing his appreciation to Ronald, sir" Harry said in his probably most forced polite
tone ever. "Really now mister Potter? Appreciation for what exactly?"
"Ronald here," he pointed his head in the direction to where the ginger was standing, "was just
overjoyed to see that I had returned to Hogwarts and everything was alright." Snape raised
one eyebrow. "You know sir, with my eyes and all." Draco tried (and failed horribly) to contain
his laughter. Snape turned to Ron, "Is this true mister Weasley?". "I-, uh- he-I ugh" He opened and
closed his mound several times muttering incoherent words. "See sir, completely overcome with
joy!" Draco managed to say between breaths. "You all better return to your dorms than, we'll
celebrate the return of our great saviour some other time. "
On their way to the common room Draco, naturally, couldn't shut up.
"That look on his face, priceless!" the blond shook his head and stared at Harry. "What Malfoy, going
to confess your undying love for me or something?" Harry smirked. "Of course not you prat!"
The blond pushed Harry. "What did she say? And don't give me that eye crap!"
they were already near the entrance of their common room, so Harry stopped walking.
"Some strange events have been happening." The blond snorted "I know that!"
"Stop interrupting me if you want to learn something stupid!" Draco glared but did not say anything.
"Bella doesn't know details but they are investigating " Draco gave Harry a knowing look and nodded
his head. "She tries to hide it but I know she's worried." Draco laughed. "Aw isn't that sweet! She
doesn't want you to worry~" Harry smacked Draco. "What did I say! Oh god you are hopeless
Malfoy!" the blond only seemed to take it as a compliment.
"Something is going to happen, sooner or later." Harry started walking to the Slytherin dungeons.
"Wait, that's all?" Harry shook his head. "No, we have some recruiting to do." He smiled and Draco
couldn't help shudder. "Don't grin so creepy." Harry laughed "The Weasleys by the way."
Draco stopped moving, "Oi, wait what? Are you kidding me? Oh you prat that is not funny!"
Harry just kept moving "Don't worry, only the ones that show potential." "So no Ronald Weasley
then?" "No you idiot and if you keep continuing like this you will neither. Get your brain out of
the gutter! " Harry said teasingly. "Oi, its late you know!"
"And he learned how to read the time, congratulations!"
Draco continued muttering insults and explanations, Harry was just glad that his bed was finally in sight.
