Whoa, it's been a long time since I updated. Sorry for the wait.

Hours later after much coaxing and encouragement, the Order had gotten Harry to walk again though his mind was still in a state of extreme shock.

They had taken him back to the Burrow where a frantic Weasley family had tried to ask him where he had gone.

Harry never said a word to any of them and silently went upstairs to go to sleep.

Harry tried desperately to force himself to sleep, but everytime he closed his eyes for even a few seconds, that... horrible image came back into his mind, haunting him.

'Venom? Do you think you could make my body go to sleep?'

Venom was silent for a moment and said,'Sure thing.'

Harry suddenly felt immensely drowsy and fell into a well-deserved sleep.

The next morning.

"MONSTER WREAKS DEVASTATION ACROSS DIAGON ALLEY!"

That was the headline of the frontpage on the issue of tomorrow's Daily Prophet. From what Harry could find out, Carnage had slaughtered many of the people living in Diagon Alley and skewered all of the Auror's that had been sent in to combat him, minus Tonks which had left the auror department with a extremelly small amount of working auror's left.

This in turn led to a panic in the wizarding community. One was due to fear of Carnage, for there was little known about him and no one had any idea whether or not he was affiliated with Voldemort. The other was because of the few remaining auror's left to combat Voldemort and his Death Eaters which left people becoming terrified that they were not safe and would die.

'In other words, the Wizarding worlds gone into chaos, and it's partly my fault,' said Venom sarcastically.

'No worries,' said Harry. 'We'll get both Voldemort and Carnage eventually.'

Several weeks later, Harry who was in Platform 9 3/4 along with the rest of his friends boarded the train that would take them back for another dangerous, insane, and possibly high level hormone tension around every corner. Of course, with Venom along for the ride, it's not like this year would be much different from all the other one's, right?

Harry easily dragged his travel trunk around as he searched for a good place to sit. However he found it annoying that everyone seemed to be staring at him in amazement which only served to amuse Venom.

'My, my, you certainly seemed to have become quite a celebrity haven't you, Mister Choosen One?' said Venom tauntingly.

Harry rolled his eyes and said,'Hey, just so you know, I never wanted this fame in the first place.'

"Yeah, I know that, but think of the benefits!'

'What benefits?'

'Hot, young, sexy ladies piling up to go out with yah!'

Harry groaned and rubbed his temples and said,'I'm not going to be actively looking for women until this whole crisis with Voldemort is over, Venom, and that's final!'

"Harry!" a voice cried out.

Harry turned around to see Luna and his other friend, Neville Longbottom walking towards him.

Venom chuckled and said,'Not even that girl?'

'Shut up!' said Harry.

Getting rid of the annoyance he felt moments ago, Harry smiled and said,"Luna! Neville! Great to see you guys again!"

Luna smiled dreamily at him and said,"It's great to see you too, Harry."

"Great to see you too, Harry," said Neville who held out a hand to Harry who gave it a friendly hand shake.

"Had a good summer, you two?" asked Harry.

"I sure did, my gran's been really pleased with me lately," said Neville.

Harry cracked a small grin and said,"I guess our little adventure in the Dept. of Mysteries was pretty well heard of."

"Yeah, I thought she would be mad, with all the publicity, but she was pretty pleased, said I'm living up to my dad at long last," said Neville pulling out a wand.

"Oh, that's good, you've gotten a new wand," said Harry.

"Yeah, from Ollivanders, must have been one of the last one's he sold before he went missing."

Harry saw an empty compartment nearby and said,"We can go over there."

The trio walked over to it and after a while Luna asked,"Are we doing DA meetings this year, Harry?"

Harry thought about that for a moment and said,"I guess so, it helped us a lot during that battle Ministy didn't it? Yes, I definately should do it again."

Neville grinned widely and said,"Great to hear!"

"That's great, Harry, I really did enjoy the meetings, it was like having friends," said Luna.

Harry shifted uncomfortably and Venom said,'Poor girl. Harry I think what she needs is a boyfriend.'

'Are you ever gonna drop it,' Harry hissed.

'Not until you grow some balls and snog her in front of at least 20 witnesses.'

'...I hate you.'

'Ah, I love you too,' said Venom sarcastically.

Meanwhile...

In one of his many hideout's Lord Voldermort smirked in satisfaction as he beheld his new weapons.

After recovering from his fight with Venom, Voldemort had managed to control the change between his normal self and the green monstrosity the OZ potion had turned him into with a special potion to control the change.

Furious at Venom for making him lose many of his loyal death eaters, along with inflicting that terrible injury on him, Voldemort pulled together much of his resources to create weapons to fight him with.

One was a large silver green body suit large enough to comfortably fit his monstrous form. It was constructed by Goblins and made out of specially treated dragon hide. From what his tests showed, the suit was virtually indestructible to all spells and physical damage, none of his giants could even make a dent in the armor! It also had a helmet which was designed to look like a snake but some of his followers had mentioned that it looked disturbingly like the head of a goblin.

Another weapon he had designed was a serpent-shaped vehicle with dragon like wings which was enchanted to be able to fly at speeds three times the maximum velocity of a Firebolt. It was also controlled by Voldemort's mind so he could turn it with ease and summon it back to him if he was knocked off it. For a offensive attack the glider could generate a powerful blast of green fire from the mouth and from the rear in order to incinerate those who opposed Voldemort.

'As soon as I perfect these new weapons, no one will be able to stand against me!' thought Voldemort triumphantly.

Back with Harry...

After an hour or so passed, Ron and Hermione finally finished their Prefect meeting and joined Harry in his compartment.

"Wish the lunch trolley would hurry up, I'm starving," said Ron rubbing his stomach.

'Me too, I've been interested in trying out some magical chocolate,' said Venom.

'Venom... I think you have a problem,' said Harry.

'Problem?! What do you mean, like I'm some sort of chocoholic?!'

'Yes, that's what I'm saying and besides the term actually exists! Sirius once told me that Remus was one once, and they had to send him to Rehap for months!'

Venom blew a raspberry and said,'Big deal, and besides I've got self control!'

'Oh please, you couldn't go a week without chocolate!'

'Is a bet?'

'Yes, yes it is a bet. And if you lose, you get of my case about me and my love life,' said Harry.

'All right then it's settled. And if you lose, you have to ask Luna out on a date!' said Venom with vicious triumph in his voice.

'I see an easy bet when I see one. Your on! And the bet starts... now!'

A few seconds passed and Venom asked,'Is it over?'

'You've got six days, twenty three hours, and fifty five seconds,' said Harry.

'...Oh boy, this might be harder than I thought,' said Venom.

"Harry, you alright?" came Ron's voice.

Harry suddenly plunged back into reality and quickly said,"Yeah, I'm alright. Spaced out for a moment. What were you talking about?"

"Malfoy, he didn't show up at the Prefect meeting," said Ron.

"I know exactly where he is," said Harry. "He's with his Slytherin friends talking about how he's become a Death Eater."

Ron and Hermione let out a groan of exasperation, and Ron said,"Harry, are you ever gonna let go of this wild idea that Malfoy's a Death Eater?"

Harry gave him a look and said,"Ron, he's got "I'm a mini Death Eater" written all over his face. In fact, I'm gonna prove it to you."

"How are you going to do that?" asked Ron with a look of skeptism and amusment on his face.

"With my lucky shirt," said Harry pointing towards himself. Ron and Hermione had a look of comprehension, while Neville had a look of confusion. Luna's face continued to have it's usual dreamy look.

Harry stood up and walked out of his compartment and quickly looked for a hiding place. When it looked like no one was watching him he transformed into his non muscular symbiote costume and turned invisible.

'Normally, I'd use the Invisibilty Cloak, but this makes it more convenient,' he thought.

Harry leaped onto the ceiling and and clung onto it like a spider. Silently he began crawling, keeping his eyes open for any sign of Malfoy.

Spotting his prey coming out of a compartment, Harry looked for a window and waited for just the right moment and then tackled him.

Grabbing him, he swiftly jumped out of the window and landed on the train tracks.

Taking a big leap towards the top of the train, Harry roughly threw Malfoy down hard who seemed rather confused at what was going on.

'Finally, after all these years, Malfoy get's what he deserves!' thought as he made himself visible in his monstrous form.

Malfoy of course let out an extremelly high pitched girly scream and tried to scramble away from Venom who easily pinned him down with one hand.

Growling, he snarled in his best demonic voice,"Tell us, are you a Death Eater?!"

Malfoy started hyperventilating and somehow managed to squak,"No!"

Venom lifted him up and started shaking him like a madman and roared,"DON'T LIE TO US! TELL THE TRUTH!"

Draco whimpered as he lifted up his left sleeve, exposing his dark mark and and said,"Yes."

"Good, now tell us, has Voldemort- STOP FLINCHING HUMAN! Given you any tasks to do, any missions, or plots involving his pathetic squad of bozo's?"

"Yes, he gave me a mission," whimpered Draco.

"What is it?"

Draco gulped and said with what must have been all the courage in his body,"I'm not going to tell you."

Venom was silent for a moment and then without warning, ensnared Malfoy in tentacles and absorbed him into his body.

Venom then procedded to go through Draco's recent amount of memories, starting from when he left the train after 5th year and ending with the present.

'Hmm, interesting,' said Venom.

''Interesting?! Malfoy's plotting to kill Dumbledore and that's all you can honestly say!' yelled Harry.

'Yep,' said Venom.

Expelling Malfoy out of his body, Venom picked the Slytherin boy by the legs and while crawling on the side of the train, threw Draco roughly onto the ground.

Sneaking into another window, Venom transformed back into his human guise as both him and his host went over the memories they gathered.

'Finally, evidence!' said Harry in extreme triumph.

'You do know that without a pensieve, no one will believe you, right?' Venom pointed out.

'Oh, in that case I'll just have to wait until I meet Dumbledore again and ask if I can use his pensieve. Then they'll all finally believe me!' said Harry in a manic tone.

'And they call me crazy,' muttered Venom.

Harry managed to sneak his way back to his friends compartment where Ron asked,"So, did you get any evidence?"

Harry nodded and said,"Yes, and it's all in my head."

Ron and Hermione gave Harry a worried look, wondering if the alien symbiote was starting to have a madness inducing effect on his mind.

At last, the train finally arrived at Hogsmeade station with all the student's getting into the carriages.

A while later, after they were all in the Great Hall and the new student's got sorted, Dumbledore started his yearly speech.

At that moment, Harry suddenly noticed something odd about his right hand. It was still as charred, blackened, and dead looking as it had been when he first confronted him about Snape's loyalty. Of course with all the ensuing chaos on that day he had hardly paid any attention to it, now he was starting to become concerned as to why it was not healed yet.

'I'll have to ask him about it later,' thought Harry.

He continued to pay attention to his speech but nearly yelled out in outrage when Dumbledore announced that Snape had been given position as Defense against the Dark arts teacher while Slughorn would teach potions.

"Well, at least I know one good thing that will happen at the end of the year. Snape will finally be gone!" snarled Harry.

Hermione looked at him and said,"What do you mean?"

Harry gave her a WTF look and said,"Hermione, you did not just say something that stupid, or have you forgotten what happened to all the other people who were mad enough to take that position?! That job has to be cursed, there's no other reason why no one has held it over a year, Quirrel actually died doing it, in fact I wouldn't be suprised if Snape happened to have a little accident," saying the last part with a rather dark look on his face.

"Harry!" Hermione said with a shocked look on her face.

"What? You can't honestly say you like him can you? After all he's done to us? Look I sympathise with him over the fact that he never had a really happy life, but that's no excuse for the way he treats me," said Harry.

Hermione looked away from him while Ron said,"I don't blame you Harry, it would do us all a favor if Snape kicked the bucket."

"Ronald!"

"What? I'm just saying," said Ron.

A while later, the students were all in their common rooms sleeping though Venom was far from falling asleep.

'I'm bored,' said the mentioned symbiote.

'And I'm sleepy. Why don't you just leave my body for a while and go explore Hogwarts for a bit,' said Harry.

'Fine! I will!'

Harry shivered as his clothes turned into a mess of black goo which slid away from him and crawled down the stairs.

Harry looked down and thought,'Uh oh, I need some pants!'

Venom who was now in the shape of tendrils let out a small snarl at the slow speed he was going at.

'Crap, I forgot how slow I am without someone to cling to.' thought the symbiote.

Out of frustration he started going back into the boy's dormitary when he noticed the direction to the girl's dormitary.

'Hmm, I could use a little fun tonight,' thought Venom who if he had a face would be in a che smile.

Harry awoke to the next morning feeling drowsy and said,'So, did you do anything interesting last night?'

No response.

Harry was suddenly alert and thought,'He didn't come back last night?'

Harry got out of his bed and got dressed and went down the stairs to find his fellow male Gryffindors drooling at something which caused him to yelp.

All of the Gryffindor girls from 4th year and above were tied up, gagged, and suspended from the ceiling in what looked suspiciously like Venom's own webbing. But even eye boggling was that they had all been stripped down to their bra's and knickers, which allowed them to be seen by the boys in all their semi-nude lustrious glory!

'OH...MY...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! I.. I.. I can't believe he actually... DID THIS!!,' Harry mentally screamed.

Refusing to let them be seen this way any longer, Harry quickly sent out several Severing charms at the webs to free the ladies much to the men's disappointment.

Rather than getting a thanks, they all ran shrieking up their dormitary, covering their chest's with their arms along with shrieking several dead threat's about the person who did this.

Harry tapped Ron on the shoulder and whispered,"Ron, I think we need to talk."

"Yah think?"

The two walked up the dormitary to avoid being overheard and Ron said in a pained voice,"Harry, please, as your best friend, be extremelly honest with me. Did you do... that to those girls? Please say no, I couldn't-

"Ron I didn't do it, it was Venom!"

Ron gave him a look and said,"But isn't he-"

"I know, but I let him out of my body last night-"

"You let that completely women obssesed creature into the castle last night?! Have you gone completely mental?! Ron yelled.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think, it was late and he wouldn't go to sleep, oh man I can't believe he did this!" Harry exclaimed.

"Me neither, though I have to admit Hermione has done a real good job of hiding that body of hers, I never knew she had those-"

"RON! Focus here!" yelled Harry.

"Right, sorry."

"Now, what we need to do is to find Venom and throw him into the fireplace, I don't care how useful his abilities are to me, this time he's really done it," growled Harry.

10 or so minutes Harry and Ron were at the Great Hall eating breakfast when a slightly red Hermione joined them.

"Oh, uh, hey Hermione," said Harry in what he thought was a friendly voice.

"Harry," began Hermione in a I'm-about-to-blow-up-at-you voice,"I would like a word with your tenant."

"Um, would you like to take to a message?"

Hermione grabbed Harry by his collar and growled,"Don't play games with me, send him out now."

Harry gulped and said,"I can't, I let him out of my body last night and I don't know where he is."

Hermione let go of him and said,"Find him!"

"But my classes will be starting soon!"

Hermione let out three deep breathe's and muttered,"Fine."

After they had all eaten Prof. McGonagall started handing out the schedules for the 6th years.

"So, Potter, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Transfiguration...all fine. I must say, I was pleased with your Transfiguration mark, Potter, very pleased. Now, why haven't you applied to continue with Potions? I thought it was your ambition to become an Auror?"

"It was," said Harry. "But you told me I had to get an 'Outstanding' in my O.W.L., Professor."

"Yes, but that was when Professor Snape was teaching the subject, But Professor Slughorn, however, is perfectly happy to accept N.E.W.T. students with 'Exceed Expectations'. Do you wish to proceed with Potions?"

"Yes, oh! But I didn't buy the books or any ingredients or anything-"

"I'm sure Prof Slughorn will be able to lend you some. Very well, Potter, here is your schedule. Oh, by the way, twenty hopefuls have already put down their names for the Gryffindor Quidditch team."

A few minutes later, everyone's schedule had been passed with Ron looking quite pleased at his.

"Wow, three free periods," said Harry.

"In that case, since it's one now, why don't use this time to find that little perverted parasite," said Hermione with a frown on her face.

Harry put up his hands in self defense and said,"All right, all right, I'll look for him."

As they left the Great Hall, Harry suddenly realized just how big Hogwarts was. And how many places in the castle his symbiote could hide in.

'Uh boy, this might be harder than I thought.'
