Chapter Two

Once Harry came to he was in the hospital wing. He sat up and looked around the room and found it was empty. He sighed and was just going to get out of bed when Ginny came into the room. She smiled when she saw him and walked over.

"How are you feeling?" Ginny asked.

"Okay," Harry said." My head hurts a little."

"Madam Pomfrey said it would," Ginny said sitting down on the bed." What happened?"

"Voldemort he was talking to me," Harry said." He wanted me to join him and when I refused he put me under the Cruciatus Curse and that's when I woke up."

"You should tell Dumbledore," Ginny said.

"No," Harry said.

"Why not?" Ginny asked as Madam Pomfrey came into the hospital wing.

"Because I don't want to," Harry said. " And besides it wasn't even bad."

"If you say so," Ginny said.

"Well Mr. Potter you gave us a quiet a scare," Madam Pomfrey said. " Bleeding nose...scar...fainting...first time this year...wonder what's next...anyways let me check that scar of yours."

She moved over to Harry and took the bandage that was on Harry's forehead off. She looked at it and then mad a face before going over and getting a potion form her cupboards.

"Looks like it healed itself up," she said." To bad the rest of you couldn't do that, then you wouldn't have to come here all the time. Here take this potion it will help with your headache, which I know you have."

Harry took the glass and swallowed the potion down. Madam Pomfrey gave him one last look and then sent him on his way. He wondered down the hall with Ginny till they came to the Great Hall and Dean came running over and took Ginny away to talk. Harry glared at him as he walked away and then walked into the Great Hall. He sat down beside Hermione and Seamus and began to eat. Hermione made as much of a conversation as she could, but Harry would just say one-word answers and so she gave up. He finished eating and pulled to his timetable and found he had potions first thing. Standing up he headed towards the common room to get his things. Once he got to class he found Hermione and Ron sitting together and that there was no room for him by the Gryffindors'. He turned to where the Slytherins were sitting and found the only seat left was by none other than, Draco Malfoy.

"Great," Harry grumbled walking over and slamming his stuff down.

Hermione looked over to him and gave Ron a worried look before Professor Snape came into the room. She then looked back over at Harry, who was ignoring her stares. He opened his book to the potion that they would be doing today.

"I would like to stay one thing before you will begin," Snape said. " I don't know how some of you got in this class or how some of you even passed potions last year. I will won't you to do your highest you can or even more for some which I know will be needed. First the person sitting beside you will be your partner for the rest of the year. Do not try and switch because I already know whom you are sitting beside. Some of you I will move on purpose, like you Weasley will move to sit with Thomas and Brown will from beside Granger. Now the potion you will be doing today will take two weeks and will not be counted for marks if its late, different colors or if anything is not right, so I suggest you make it perfect and you will receive a mark in return. You will also be doing research with the person beside you to find out what this potion is and what it is used for. The report is due with the potion and will be two scrolls of parchment. Begin."

Harry groaned again and turned to Malfoy who was giving him the same disgusted face. He then turned to his book and stared flipping through till he came to names of potions and turned back to Harry.

"Potter," Malfoy said. " Open your book, I'm not doing all the work, and you better be good, I don't want a falling mark because you can't do anything right."

"Who said I wanted you doing all the work?" Harry snapped back.

"So where do you want to begin?" Malfoy asked." Well where do you suggest we begin?"

"Don't know?" Harry said as Malfoy rolled his eyes.

"The potion Potter," Malfoy said. " Are you sure you should be in this class, I mean you should know for us to be able to find out what the potion is we need it done or started so we can see what color and stuff it is, so we can start making theories of what it is."

"Right," Harry said.

"Well," Malfoy said.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Go get the ingredient paper off his desk Potter," Malfoy said.

Harry glared at him and got up and walked over to Snape's desk. He grabbed a paper with ingredients on it and walked back to his seat. He found Malfoy already getting out his cauldron and getting some supplies. He took the paper from Harry and walked over to the shelves.

"Oh and one more thing," Snape said." Not one of you have the some potion or some potions are for different things that may look the same."

Harry rolled his eyes and waiting for Malfoy to return with the ingredients. Once he did they started their potions. Well Malfoy did, he just told Harry what to do and how to cut things. Harry sighed when the bell rang and looked at their potion, which was a purple-blue color. Malfoy put the things away and come back to their table.

"Do you won't to meet later at the library?" Malfoy asked.

"But we don't even know where to start?" Harry said.

"Sure we do," Malfoy said. "It's not an antidote, there not as dark as this one, or a draught because they can be any color, but they don't smell like ours, so ours is a straight potion, one of a kind you could say."

"Right," Harry said.

"So meet me at the library after Supper," Malfoy said leaving the room.

Harry left the room after him and headed to the Great Hall for lunch. Ron and Hermione weren't there so he just decided to eat quickly and get to his next class. Which was Defense Against the Dark Arts. Sighing again he got up and made his way to class only to find that again he was left out on the cold for a seat. He looked around and found that the only seat left was by Draco Malfoy again.

"Well isn't this odd," Malfoy said. " Not that I am enjoying this or anything."

"Sure," Harry said sitting down.

"You know I think that they hang around each other too much," Malfoy said. " I mean if you ask me."

"I never asked you," Harry said watching Lupin walk around and explain things.

"I mean they all over each other," Malfoy said." Gross like I want to see that, Weasel and Mudblood. Well I guess there perfect for each other."

"Would you please shut up," Harry said.

"Well," Malfoy said.

"Just shut up," Harry snapped at Malfoy.

"Harry can you please tell me what I was just explaining to the class?" Lupin asked.

"Oh! Ugh!" Harry said.

"Harry answer the question," Lupin said." If you can?"

"Of course I can't, " Harry said. " I've got this annoying ferret beside me that doesn't shut up in the classes he doesn't like, but will annoy me in the classes I enjoy."

"Harry," Lupin said.

Harry then not wanting to make a scene went quiet and just waited for Remus to move on from him. Once the class ended Hermione tried her best to try and talk to Harry down the hall but she just shoved her off into Ron and stormed off to his room. Once there he went and laid down on his bed. He stared at the ceiling wondering why he had just done that. He groaned and rolled over staring at his clock. It wasn't soon afterwards and he was sleeping.

"Harry...Harry..."

"Potter," Voldemort said.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Have you though of what I have offered you," Voldemort asked.

"No," Harry said.

"I will not offer it forever," Voldemort said.

"I already told you I wouldn't join you," Harry said.

"What if I offered you a chance to have your godfather back," Voldemort said." You'd have all the power you want and the one you love most."

"I don't believe you," Harry said.

"Trust me, I can bring him back," Voldemort said. "No," Harry said. " The answer is no."

"I'll give you a week to decide," Voldemort said. " Your godfather alive and well or him dead because you were to foolish to know better."
