AN: Sorry, it took me so long to update. Seeing as my summer break has started I might be able to update sooner, but I also have a job so I might not. His was written between my exams so it is not too great. I will perhaps rewrite it later if I get too many complains.

This chapter is dedicated to V. L. Crawford as it was from this kind reviewer I got the idea of a bullying Cho Chang and how Luna and Harry should meet. So a thousand thanks to you and I hope you all will enjoy this chapter. (And that it doesn't suck too much:-D)

-Story-

Life at Hogwarts didn't chance much, Harry thought to himself as he walked the halls towards the dungeons. Two weeks had passed since the incident in the great hall and his schoolmates had reacted almost exactly like he had imagined they would. Some had reacted with awe, some with distaste, some hate and others fear. Those who hated and feared him showed it by bullying and trying to harm him, those who looked upon him with awe would act the same way the students had done when he first entered Hogwarts.

The bullying and the point that some students tried to harm him didn't bother him as much as he thought it would. He was scared some times, but every night since the incident at the train, he had dreamed of and learnt more about the creature side of himself. Because of this he felt stronger than he had in a long time. However, the increase in his power and the mystery of his different animal sides where another thing that scared him, but he was not sure how he should tell his guardians about it. Even if he felt stronger and surer of himself he still had the fear that they would abandon him if he was too much of a bother.

One thing that did bother him was Snape. He was acting in a peculiar way, and Harry found it very suspicious. Not once since he had come back, had Snape gone out of his way to make him more depressed.

Harry was so caught up in his own thoughts that he didn't notice the voices before he was right outside the empty classroom. At first he just ignored it thinking it was just a couple of slytherins up to no good. He was after all in their territory. He had all intent to just walk away, until he heard the voice of Cho Chang saying something he had never expected from her.

"I can't believe an idiotic, no brained Blondie like you got into our house. You are such a disgrace. We have warned you again and again but you just won't stop embarrassing us. Going on and on about your stupid non- existing creatures and plots."

He heard a slap and hurried towards the door. He tore the door open and gasped in shock. Cho Chang was standing over a petite girl with almost white hair. She had big dreamy eyes and it looked like she had radishes in her ears. She had a red handprint on one of her cheeks and her dreamy eyes shone of sadness. Harry felt a protective feeling rise in his chest. For some reason, he did not like seeing this girl looking so sad. He might not know her, but it did not seem like a normal feature on her lovely face.

The moment Chang saw Harry enter she changed her facial expression from one of anger to one of adoration and sadness. However, she did not do it fast enough. Harry however decided to pretend he didn't see and get the young girl out of there. He hurried forwards and gently helped the girl up while asking her if she was alright and leading her out of the room. He heard Chang trying to come up with some excuses behind him, but he felt that the girl was first priority, he had no compassion for bullies and decided to end Changs' bullying as soon as he could.

The hospital wing was quite far from the dungeons, but he did not let this stop him. When he was far enough from the room he looked back and almost hissed in anger. Chang was following. He restrained his anger and kept walking and when Madam Pomfrey led the girl to a bed with a distressed Miss Lovegood he decided to wait and find out how she was, and at the same time he would take care of Chang.

"Harry, why didn't you wait, I would of course have taken the responsibility to take my housemate to the hospital wing." The tone she was using was making him sick all mushy and falsely sweet. A part of his brain added that the dreamy girl probably never would sound like that. He shook his head to get rid of those ridiculous thoughts. What did he care how the girl sounded like? He was just waiting to hear how she was, and that was that.

"Would you really? After harming her like this you would really take her to the hospital wing?" he raised his eyebrows at her and felt his stronger side appraising him. For some odd reason it was telling him that they needed to protect that girl and Harry decided to just go with it until he got the chance to talk to his paddy and Uncle Moony.

He watched as Chang stumbled on her words, trying to find some excuse or lie, and coming up with none. "Oh you don't understand Harry, she is just so horrible. She goes around everyday acting all high and mighty spouting bull. A freak like her needs to know her place."

arHarry didn't know what made him do it, maybe it was the wording and how she sounded like his relatives. Or maybe it was his strong animalistic side, but suddenly he had his wand pointed at her and he was threatening her.

"You stay away from her Chang and I mean it. If I hear one word of you in some way or another bothering that girl it will have consequences. And believe me I will find out."

Then he turned around and almost marched over to Madam Pomfrey to inquire about the girl before he left for the dormitories.
