The last Harry Potter movie was AMAZING! If you didn't see it yet, you absolutely have to! Like, seriously! It was amazing, epic, sad, happy, awesome, depressing, exciting-you get it. Even though it's the last movie, which I'm super sad about, I know that Harry Potter will live on FOREVER! It also beat out Star Wars to be the biggest film frachise in history! LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER!

Anyway, I was super depressed about Harry Potter when I wrote this chapter, and I was being distracted by Twitter, and I had to help my aunt get ready for her wedding, so I'm not too pleased with how this chapter turned out. But, it is what it is and I promise the next one will be better. And sorry for the late update, I was extremely busy, depressed and distracted(see above).

This chapter goes out to all the true Harry Potter fans out there! It may be the last movie, but we will make sure the magic lives on! This chapter also goes to Katie and Cassy (FELTON! haha ;) ) for helping me with my Potter depression and the next chapter, and for being awesome, and because we have epic meebo and Twitter conversations :)

Annnd, a HUUUUGE thank you to everyone that reviewed! They made me so happy :)

Sorry for the long A/N, but I had a lot to say :P Enjoy & Review!

Ch. 19: House of Suspicion
Nina's POV

"Amber...?" I said cautiously, "What are you doing?"

Amber was sitting on the floor of our dormitory with a caldroun in front of her that she was stirring. A book lay open on the floor next to her. It was lunchtime, and I had forgotten my Divination textbook which I needed for after lunch, so i had come up to get it.

She grinned up at me. "Making a love potion." she said calmly, as if this were perfectly normal.

"Why?"

"For Viktor Krum of course! He needs to realize his true feelings are for me, not Patricia!" She continued stirring. "Doesn't it smell lovely?"

"Amber, you can't do that!" I said, alarmed. "That's breaking about fifty school rules, not to mention making Patricia extremely angry, which can be extremely scary."

Amber shrugged nonchalantly. "It's worth it for true love."

I sighed. "But it won't be true love if you give him that potion. Love potions cause obsession, not-"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. It'll be true love for me, anyway!" she said brightly.

"And how do you intend to give this to him?"

"On a really hot day, I'll offer him a drink, and he'll be distracted by how pretty I am and take it!"

"Amber...it's February. There isn't going to be a really hot day for a while. And this is still a really bad thing to do."

"Oh..." she paused, frowning. "Well then, I'll find some other time to give it to him."

I shook my head, making a mental note to get rid of that potion as soon as I learned the vanishing spell. I grabbed my textbook and hurried back to lunch.

As I rounded a corner, I saw Snape and Rufus conversing in loud whispers. Thankfully, they hadn't seen me. I took a few steps back and leaned against the wall perpendicular to where the were standing, so they couldn't see me.

"...Can't afford to lose his trust." Snape was saying. "If we do that, we most certainly will."

"Well, thats not my problem." said Rufus. "It needs to be done."

"Think again, Zeno. You are acting upon your own desires, while I am acting upon...his." Snape replied angrily. I froze. Could Snape be talking about who I thought he was talking about? If he was, then that was proof that Harry was right about him being a death eater.

There was silence. I peered around the corner, and saw that Rufus had left, and Snape was still standing there, looking...pained. I wonder what that was about...

I turned around and went to lunch a different way. I had no desire to walk past Snape when he looked like that.

When I entered the Great Hall, I ran to where Fabian, Harry, Hermione and Patricia were sitting.

"You will never believe what Snape-" I stopped talking abruptly when I saw that Ron and Mara were also sitting with them. They looked up at me curiously. "-what Snape was saying to some first years! He was so mean!"

Ron snorted. "I can believe it."

I nodded, feeling slightly guilty. "We need to have a Sibuna meeting. Soon." I whispered to Fabian when I sat down next to him.

He nodded. "Okay. When?"

"Tomorrow. While everyone else is in Hogsmeade." I said. "Can you tell the others?"

"Well...about that..." He paused. "I was wondering if...if you'd-"

"We'd better hurry, or else we're going to be late for Divination!" Harry unknowingly interupted Fabian.

Fabian sighed and picked up his books. I did the same.

"Well then. I guess we'll have the Sibuna meeting tomorrow, like you said." said Fabian, sounding diappointed.

"No, wait, what did you want to tell me?" I asked.

"Nothing." he said, not meeting my eyes. "Its not important.

Patricia's POV

The following morning, Nina, Fabian, Hermione, Amber and I stood waiting for Harry to show up by a statue of an ugly wizard with an extremely large nose. Hey, all he needs is greasy hair and he'd be exactly like Snape...

"Where is he?" Nina demanded. "He was supposed to be here five minutes ago!"

"Calm down, Nina!" I said. "He's probably just running a little late."

And sure enough, Harry came hurrying down the hallway a few seconds after I said it.

"Sorry I'm late." he said, puffing to catch his breath.

"Where were you?" Nina hissed.

"Working on my egg clue." Harry said.

"I thought you'd already worked it out!" said Hermione suspiciously.

"Yeah, well, I was just...fine-tuning it." Harry replied. "I'm going to need your help with this clue-"

"Harry, the second task is next week! There's only so much we can do by then!" said Hermione.

"Okay, guys!" Nina said, and we all looked at her. "Let's focus on the meeting first, and then the second task."

"Okay, so what was so important that you needed to tell us right now and make us miss Hogsmeade?" I asked.

"Well..." Nina said, and she recounted the conversation she had heard between Rufus and Snape.

"So, you think they're planning something?" Fabian asked.

"Obviously." I said.

"And thats not all." said Harry. We all looked at him. "Last night, when I was working on my egg clue-" Hermione shot him a reproachful look, but he continued. "-I ran into Moody and he pretty much told me that Snape was a Death Eater."

"So you think he's planning to bring back...You-Know-Who?" Amber asked, looking frightened.

"We don't know what he's planning, or even if it's something bad." said Hermione. "Harry, remember the last time you suspected Snape? And he ended up saving your life? And besides, Dumbledore trusts Snape."

"Yeah, well, Dumbledore trusted Quirrel and he had freaking Voldemort on the back of his head." said Harry.

"But-"

"Hermione, I still think we should look into it." said Harry. "Better safe than sorry, right?"

Everyone nodded except Hermione, who frowned.

"What do you mean, look into it?"

"I think we should break in and search Snape's office."

This statement was met with silence.

"Harry, that's insane," said Hermione finally, "we can't just-"

But she stopped talking abruptly as someone rounded the corner. We all gasped-it was Snape.

"Why aren't you all in Hogsmeade?" he demanded.

"Oh...well, you see, we were just..." Nina began.

"...waiting for everyone to meet us here." I said quickly, before Nina could come up with another one of her crazy lies. "But, now everone's here, so we can go, right guys?"

They all nodded quickly, but Snape looked at us suspiciously.

"Well, you had better get going." he said. "Otherwise, people might think you are...up to something."

He walked away, leaving Harry glaring holes into the back of his head.

"We have to do this, guys." said Harry determinedly.

Fifteen minutes later, Harry and I were under his invisibility cloak, on our way to Snape's office with Amber and Hermione trailing behind us. The plan was for Harry and I to sneak into his office under the cloak, and Amber and Hermione would stand guard. It would look too suspicious if four people stood guard, so Nina and Fabian went back to the common room to wait for us.

When we arrived at the door to Snape's office, I glanced around, pulled out my wand and whispered "Alohamora."

The lock clicked open and we stepped in, amazed that Snape had made it so easy for someone to break in. I shut the door behind us, and Harry pulled off the cloak.

"Okay, so what are we looking for again?" I asked.

"Anything that might connect Snape with the Death Eaters." Harry replied, opening one of the drawers of Snape's desk and rummaging through it.

I opened one of the file cabinets. It was a complete wreck. Things were scattered all over the place, and all of the papers were out of order. I frowned. It wouldn't be like Snape to keep his cabinet in disarray like this.

I turned back to Harry. "It looks like someone else has already searched here."

Harry's eyes widened. "Oh! I forgot! Last night when I ran into Moody, Snape was there at first, and he said that someone had broken into his office! And I saw on the Marauder's Map that it was Mr. Crouch!"

I groaned. "Harry, thats kind of HUGE information to forget to tell us! If Mr. Crouch didn't find anything, then neither will we."

I closed the filing cabinet and started walking towards the door. "Come-" I heard two bangs coming from the wall outside-the signal that Snape was coming.

Harry and I froze, then dove for the invisibility cloak, pulling it on just as Snape walked in the door. Too late, I realized that Harry had left a drawer open, but all I could do was hold my breath and hope for the best.

Snape looked around the room suspiciously, his eyes narrowing when he saw the open drawer.

"Potter." he muttered. Then he spoke in a normal voice. "Potter, I know it's you! Take off your cloak and explain exactly why you broke into my office."

Harry and I didn't move. Snape's eyes, if possible got even more narrow.

"Fine, if you want to play games..." his voice trailed off, and he started walking around the room with his arms out, grabbing into thin air. I glanced at Harry nervously. We couldn't move, for fear of knocking something over, or tripping on the cloak.

But, just as Snape's fingers were inches from us, we heard a voice come from the hallway.

"Oh, Professor Snape, come quickly!" we heard Amber say. "Someone's knocked over one of your potions in your classroom-I don't know what it is, but it's burning a hole in the floor!"

Snape swore loudly, and with one last look around the room, he walked out the door in the direction of Amber's voice.

I let out a sigh of relief, and we hurried out of the room before Snape returned.

We didn't take off the cloak until we were safely in the common room. It was pretty much deserted, except for the few first and second years that weren't allowed to go into Hogsmeade, and Nina and Fabian, who were sitting on a couch by the fire. We started to walk over to them, but were blocked by an angry Mara.

"Forget something?" Mara snarled at Harry.

"Oh-I-er..." the Harry's eyes widened. "Oh! I'm so sorry Mara, I was-"

"Busy? With what?" she demanded, glancing at me. "So busy sneaking around with other girls that you forgot about our Hogsmeade date?"

"No! Mara! It wasn't like that, I sw-" Harry spluttered. I inched away towards Nina and Fabian, having no desire to stand there awkwardly while Harry and Mara fought.

"And not only that, but you've been ditching me for the past week, and blowing me off for everything!" Tears were streaming down Mara's cheeks.

"Mara, I'm so-" Harry reached out to put a hand on Mara's shoulder, but she jerked away.

"Save it Harry, I'm done." she turned on her heel and went up into the girl's dormitory.

Harry stood there in shock for a moment, then sighed and went up to his dormitory.

Nina, Fabian and I watched him sympathetically.

"Maybe we should've included Mara in Sibuna..." Nina said uncertainly.

"No, it's not our fault." I said. "Harry should have paid more attention to her, and not stood her up today."

"I suppose." said Nina. "But he really should be focusing on the second task next week."

"I think I'll go talk to him." said Fabian, and he went up into the dormitory after Harry.

I sat down next to Nina, and a few minutes later, Amber and Hermione came in.

"Did our distraction work?" Amber asked eagerly.

I nodded. "Yeah, thanks. You guys totally saved our butts."

"No problem." said Hermione. "So did you guys find anything?"

I shook my head. "Nope. And Harry left out a very important detail-Crouch searched Snape's office last night."

"What? Why didn't he tell us that at the Sibuna meeting?"Hermione asked.

"He has a lot on his mind, he probably just forgot." answered Nina.

"But still, thats a pretty big thing to forget." I said.

"Give him a break, Patricia." said Nina. "He involuntarily became a champion in a life-threatening tournament, Someone obviously wants him dead because they put his name in, his girlfriend just broke up with him-"

"What?" asked Hermione, jumping up. "Mara broke up with him?"

Nina and I nodded, and Hermione hurried up to our dormitory, probably to talk to Mara.

"I wish Patricia would break up with Krum already." said Amber in a stage whisper to Nina. I glared at her.

"Sorry." said Amber, but she didn't sound it.

"Get this into your thick skull." I growled. "Viktor likes me, not you."

Amber grinned mischeviously. "Not for long!" She got up, ans skipped up to the girls dormitory.

I narrowed my eyes. Amber was up to something, and so was Snape. And I was going to find out what they were.

Like I said, I'm not too pleased with this chapter, but it is what it is. :P The next chapter will be better, I promise! It'll also be the second task :D REVIEW!
