Disclaimer – Sadly, J.k. Rowling still owns Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy both. Talk about being greedy. I asked my lawyer.. Miss. Kitty, what I would have to do to get atleast Draco… well.. the answer wasn't pretty. On with the story

LINE! LINE!

"You said it again!" Harry said backing away from the group of people.

"What's wrong with mag… "the 'm' word'?" Tonks said.

"Uncle Vernon says its not real. He's gunna yell again!" He said, looking around to see if his uncle was near.

"Don't worry Harry," Snape said. "You can say it anytime you want here. You won't get into trouble."

Harry's tummy rumbles "…"

"Let's get you some food shall we?" Hermione said. To her pleasure the boy nodded.

While Hermione carried Harry, Tonks levitated the leg-locked Severus, and the injured/lazy Ron off the train and towards the castle.

LINE! LINE!

Back at the castle, Hermione led Harry, Ron and Tonks who was still levitating Severus, (now unconscious from hitting the door, the ceiling, and what not) down to the kitchens to get some food.

"Where are we going?" Tonks asked.

"To the kitchens of course!" Hermione replied

"But this is a dead end." Tonks objected

"No, it isn't. Have you ever been to the kitchens?" Hermione inquired although she already knew the answer.

"No…Back when I was at Hogwarts the kitchens were off limits to students and very few knew where they where." The woman replied.

"They still are" Ron put in

"Oh..." Tonks said. She knew the trios were troublemakers but she didn't know exactly what they did.

"Come on Tonks. Dumbledore knows we come down here." Ron said encouragingly.

"Why not…" Tonks said as they approached the portrait of the pair.

"Oh, could you leave Professor Snape out here? Please. We don't need him giving any more detentions then usual." Hermione asked as she tickled the pear. It giggled and swung open revealing a very bustling kitchen.

The house elves, having just finished dinner were now cleaning up the dishes that the students had used. Dobby was the first to notice Hermione walk in with Ron and little Harry.

"Miss Granger! Mr. Weasley! Dobby is glad to be seeing you! Who's this? He looks familiar but Dobby does not know. Dobby does not know."

"Dobby, this is Harry. He's four." Hermione said not knowing how to explain to the elf what had happened without freaking him out.

"We just stopped by to get some food. We missed dinner…" Ron said, his stomach growling.

"Yes, Yes. Dobby will get you food." The elf scurried around the kitchens gathering a variety of different foods and loaded it on a tray.

"Miss Granger, what would you like to drink?" Dobby asked from across the room.

"A thermos of tea and a vas of apple juice please." The girl said.

When Dobby came back he handed the drinks to Ron and the tray of food to Tonks who had been in silent shock the whole time.

"Thank you Dobby. I wish we could stay but, we need to speak to Dumbledore."

"Oh yes yes. Dumbledore great man. Nice seeing you again. Enjoy the food." Dobby replied bowing and going back to his work.

LINELINE!

As they walked out of the kitchen Hermione summoned a sippie cup for the boy to drink from and filled it with apple juice. When she handed it to Harry he accepted and said thank you. Very polite child. Hermione thought to herself.

Ron took a swig of tea and passed the thermos to Tonks who was nibbling on a grilled cheese. Tonks denied and the tea was passed to Hermione. While Hermione had the tea Ron took the advantage to eat. Off the tray he took a bratwurst with ketchup and mustard for himself and a corndog for Harry who took it silently. Tonks got thirsty and levitated the food try while she poored herself a cup of tea holding her wand between her teeth; the tray wobbling horribly in fear of tipping over.

Once Ron finished he gave Harry a piggy back ride so that he wouldn't have to listen to the young boy complain once they reached the stairs.

Hermione smiled and now, being free of drink and Harry took the liberty of eating. Select-fully she chose corn on the cob, an apple and a hamburger with mayo. Harry laughed at the girl as she tried to balance the food in her hands and eat at the same time.

"Wha' you 'augh'ng at?" Hermione said with her mouth full. After swallowing she laughed too at herself.

Tonks, who had been her silent sneaky self kept an eye out for anything suspicious. Though the others could not hear quite as acutely as herself nor where they trained to hear little details they all stopped as footsteps could be heard around the corner. The four of them hid behind a suit of armor (Tonks, who had never liked Severus, "accidentally" left the professor outside the kitchen.) Minutes passes as they waited only to discover that a group of first-year slytherins where heading towards the dungeons after exploring the castle.

"That was close." Ron said setting Harry down. They had made it to the second floor and were near Dumbledore's office.

"Anyone know the password?" Ron said looking towards Tonks and Hermione.

"Nope" Tonks said.

"Not a clue" Hermione said "Start naming off muggle sweets. That's usually what they are."

"Jolly Rancher"

"Lemon Drop"

"Chocolate covered ants"

"…."

Darkie – Umm..What are some other candies J.K. would use for Dumbledore's password

Jessy – Not a clue

Reader – Hey Arent Jessy and Darkie the Same person

Other Reader – No, not really. Their alter egos.

Reader; Oh

Darkie – Oh I got one!

Jessy – What is it!

Darkie – You'll see!

"Jingle Joys" Ron said

"That's not a muggle sweet or a wizard sweet you airhead" Hermione said

Just then the stairs started spiraling upwards towards the headmaster's office door.

"What was it?" Tonks asked

"Air heads. I can't believe I didn't think of it before. Well we're here." The staircase had stopped moving and they now stood just before the door to Dumbledore's office.

Without knocking Tonks opened the door and walked in. Hermione and Ron who was again carrying Harry followed.

"Miss Granger, Mister Weasley, Tonks. Hello." Albus Dumbledore said as the group entered his office. "Ah, I see that you've found Mister Potter. Well, looks like we have a problem don't we!" the man chuckled to himself and stroked his beard at the enigma.

"Grandpa!" Harry cried in delight running up the man and hugging his knees
