Don't own anything just the plot, Amber and her owl. I hope you enjoy the story.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day Zelgadis decided that we should learn a few of the more powerful white magic spells and started teaching spells like the ratilt. In class we were also learning more and more spells. We also found that Lina, Zelgadis and Amelia were teaching us more spells then they were to the class. Spells that they weren't going to teach the class either.

"You want us to say what?" half the class said. While us girls were half smiling.

"Bras?" Harry and Ron told us.

"What about them?" Hermione asked half smiling.

"Would you two like to wear one for a day?" I asked them innocently. They both turned and glared at me.

"I'm sorry to tell you guys, it doesn't affect us very much," Hermione said smiling.

"Yes now everyone lets do this," Lina said glaring at everyone.

"Are you sure that Lina and Hermione aren't related," Ron asked, which got Hermione to glared at him as the class started the spell.

"Damu Bras!" the class said. Well half of us did, the other half, the guys, snickered their way through it. Again Lina glared at every boy that was there. By the end of the class the guys finally were able to do the spell, well they were able to say it without snickering.

We were now in the great hall finishing dinner. Most of the boys were still talking about DADA class. Hermione and I were up towards the teachers table while Harry and Ron were closer to the door. Hermione and I were working on homework when we suddenly could hear, feel, Ron and Harry daydreaming.

"Probably about Quidditch," Hermione started until an image flashed through our minds, it was Hermione and I.

"I didn't think that they did that in Quidditch," I told Hermione. She just shook her head and we were about to dismiss it until another picture came up, this time it was us in min-skirts.

"HARRY, RON!!!" we yelled at them as we picked up the closest thing to us, books, and threw them.

Two satisfying smacks filled the air as the books hit their targets. I had thrown the divination book while Hermione threw her ever popular "Hogwarts; A History."

"Dang Hermione, what an arm," Lavender said.

"Man maybe you should be on the Quidditch team," Pravit added.

"Why are you throwing books at Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter," Snape said coming up behind us.

"Uh...um…the…book, just slipped," Hermione tried to say while Snape just eyed her.

"Were they day dreaming?" Xelloss said suddenly popping in right next to us.

"GRRR….Go away!" I yelled at him.

"How do you know that they were dreaming?" Hermione asked.

"Now that is a secret," Xelloss said and tried to kiss Hermione only she punched him, knocking him back a few feet.

"Way to go Hermione!" Lina called out. Xelloss and Snape just stood there a little shocked. Hermione picked up a book that was on the floor and glared at Xelloss. Xelloss in return just gave her a small smile, like he knew another secret.

Harry and Ron were rubbing their heads while holding the books in their other hand.

"I'm going to the common room," I growled, not feeling all that well. It wasn't long before Hermione joined me. We were just sitting on the couch when Harry and Ron came in.

"Here is your book, Hermione," Harry said holding out the book.

"Oh thanks!" Hermione said with a slight blush on her cheeks. Ron didn't say anything to me he just handed me the book.

"Boys will be boys Hermione," I told her. She nodded in agreement.

"You didn't have to hit us with the books you know," Ron told us a little grumpy.

"Well it was our fault Ron," Harry said to Ron.

"That's for sure," Hermione and I said. That got a small smile out of them. We were all sitting on the couch talking when the Slytherins walked in. The tension rose in the room as the Slytherins glared at us and we glared back. Even though we were in the same room we didn't speak to each other. We whispered among our selves and glared at each other. Malfoy was the only one that would speak to us, well to me.

"Still hanging around those trouble makers?" Draco asked me.

"No inbreeder, I moved on to real trouble makers, like convicts, werewolves and monsters," I answered.

"Oh and here I thought that these three here were the convicts and monsters…oh wait I'm sorry Granger isn't a monster. It would be a disgrace to the monsters to call her one she's a MUDBLOOD," Draco spat out.

"I would watch it Malfoy," Harry and Ron yelled at him. I wanted to hit Malfoy so much.

"You know Malfoy you are an insult to the wizarding race," I told him.

Malfoy just sulked back to join the rest of the Slytherins. "Good one Amber," Harry said smiling.

"Thanks," I replied as Ron and Harry started to play a game of chess. Hermione and I were working on homework and again finished early. I looked up to see that the Slytherins were as far away from the Gryffindors as they could be and still be in the same room. Harry and Ron were still playing chess while other Gryffindors were doing homework. Hermione was now reading Hogwarts; a history while I was reading a science-fiction book.

"I wonder how much longer they are going to be in here," I asked Hermione.

"Don't know," Hermione answered.

"I hope It's not long," Ron added.

"Yeah," we said together.

It was silent for a little while then out of the blue Pansy grabbed "Hogwarts; a history" by the corner. She started shaking it in front of Hermione. Hermione was getting ticked because a book was getting damaged and as she tried to get it back a small note fell out. I opened it and found Hermione's writing inside. "Dear Harry, I know I couldn't say this to you in person but I…" It started but Hermione hadn't finished but I know what she was trying to write.

"I knew it! I knew it!" I said jumping up and down getting looks from everyone in the common room.

"Help" Hermione suddenly called. I looked down at her. She had Millicent sitting on her while Pansy was pulling her hair. I shoved the note into my shirt then grabbed the forgotten Hogwarts; A history. I hit Millicent upside the head, barely fazing her so I hit her again. This time it successfully knocked her off Hermione.

"Grr…how dare you Blondie," Millicent said as she came at me. Hermione was now pulling Pansy's hair. I punched Millicent, she in turned scratched me. She then went to grab me but I moved just in time and used her own momentum to knock her to the ground. In doing that I also scratched her, plus knocked her head into the floor.

"Go Amber, Go Hermione!" we suddenly heard Draco yell. We all turned to see Draco behind the couch. "Did I just say that?" he questioned surprised himself. We had all stopped, Hermione and Pansy were at each others throats while I was sitting on Millicent's back.

"Yes, I mean I can understand you cheering for Amber but Hermione?" Ron said.

"Yeah and you even called her Hermione," Harry added. Millicent, Pansy, Hermione and I just went back to fighting. We fought for a little bit longer until Ron tried to stop me, while Harry tried to stop Hermione. Harry only succeed in popping a few of her buttons while I punched Ron. Hermione was now holding her shirt shut and Pansy scratched her and Hermione returned the favor. Next Lina walked in and instead of stopping the fight she started cheering for us.

Then McGonagall walked in. "Miss. Parkinson, Bulstrode, Granger and Lanobi!"

We stopped, Hermione was now sitting on Pansy while Millicent and I were wrestling on the floor. Millicent had my legs while I was half sitting on her.

"LINA you didn't stop this!!!" McGonagall yelled.

"I was going to," Lina said sheepishly.

"WHEN? Before or after they destroyed the room?" McGonagall questioned. Then added while Lina just looked at her sister. "10 points from all of you for fighting."

I didn't think things could get worse but they did. Professor Snape walked in.

"And you boys didn't try to stop it?" McGonagall continued.

"We tried…" Harry started but Ron cut him off.

"They would have killed us," Ron said holding his cheek. 'Dang Amber you have a deadly right hook,' I just glared at him, as McGonagall grumped off complaining as she walked off to get Madame Pomfey.

"How could you two?" Snape grumped, as we all moved. The Slytherins to one side and Gryffindors to the other. Hermione and I were nursing our injures as were Pansy and Millicent.

"Sorry Professor," Pansy said.

"I mean to Granger even," he continued. It was clear that he wasn't even including me in all of this and I was wondering what I had done to be on his good list.

"But Professor it wasn't just the Bookworm it was also Blondie," Millicent said growling. Snape glared at all of us and Millicent. He said something under his breath. Then louder he yelled. "Detention for you all for a week with me, and Lanobi I would like to speak with you now."

We were all in shock. "Yuck, detention with Snape," Ron said.

"Wonder what Snape wants," Harry also questioned. We just all looked at each other and shook our heads. McGonagall came back in with Madame Pomfey trailing.

"I can't believe this, of all those that would have started a fight. Didn't expect it to be the girls or Miss Granger." She was mumbling.

"They started it. I mean look at the book it's spine is broken," Hermione said softly. Both teachers looked her while she was still holding her shirt shut. Madame Pomfey was tending to Pansy at the moment.

"ummm…Hermione that might have been when I…" I started but Hermione just looked at me and I shut up as Madmae Pomfey turned to Millicent. Snape then looked at me and then started out.

"Well you know McGonagall only said we couldn't use magic, we didn't use any," I said joking as I stood to follow Snape not waiting for Madame Pomfey to check my cuts.

"Well that's true," Harry agreed as I walked out. All three of them looked at me sadly.

We walked off and into a deserted class room.

"Lanobi, I have a question, where are your parents? I would have asked you earlier but Lucius Malfoy has been keeping annoying close track of me," he said once we were inside the classroom. I was shocked. Why would one of my professors be asking about my parents especially right after I had gotten into a fight. He just stood there waiting for me to answer.

"They….are…dead professor," I finally answered him barely above a whisper as I looked at the floor.

"Dead?" he said shocked. "When, where, how!" he suddenly yelled grabbing me by the shoulders and pushing me against the wall.

"At.. at…at...the beginning of the summer. An hit and run car accident," I told him.

"No…Aden, Marie," he muttered with his head down. He also let go of me and his arms were at his sides.

"Umm… Professor how do you know my parents?" I asked confused, as I tried to remember what I could of my parents friends. The only British friend that I could remember wasn't a teacher at Hogwarts, and I met him at the end of my third year.

"I was friends with them," he said with his head still down. We stood there neither one of us talking for a long while. I was thinking of everything my parents had said, or written as I tried to wipe some of the blood off my face when it suddenly hit me.

"Serverus?" I said more to myself then anyone, remembering the letter I had read on the train to Hogwarts.

"What?" Snape said startling me.

"YOU KNEW! YOU WERE THE ONE! YOU KNEW! YOU KNEW!" I screamed at him after a moment getting louder with every word.

"I was the one that your parents got most of their information from yes, but I knew what?" he asked stepping back.

"You know that Draco is my cousin! Uggg….why did you pair me with him! He is…" I started as I pointed my finger at his chest.

"SHHH! Of course I knew. I paired you two up so you could get to know each other," Snape snapped.

"Oh yeah, I don't even want to know how he would like to get to know me!" I growled back at him rolling my eyes.

He looked at me then said. "Why do you think I gave him dentition? He is such a blundering idiot at times, I think that it runs in the family."

"Great now I'm destine to be an idiot!" I said throwing up my arms.

"No, you are different, just like your father and mother."

"Thanks I think," I said again rolling my eyes.

"Lanobi tell me has Lucius contacted you?" Snape suddenly asked after a long moment.

"Yeah at Christmas, didn't you hear the howler that Draco got?" I asked looking at him.

"Missed that," he said looking slightly confused.

"Lucius told Draco to stay away from me, that's all I heard. Like he listened to that," I told him. Suddenly Snape did something that I had never even heard of him doing, he smiled, and muttered, "He's never been a very obedient boy, but also doesn't help when you land in his lap." I half glared at him. Like I wanted to be in his lap.

We just stayed there in silence for a long time before I spoke up.

"May I go professor?"

"Yes," he grumped returning to his normal self. I started walking back when Pomfrey caught me.

"I don't understand this," she went mumbling on as she quickly cleaned and bandaged the scratches. I just waited for her to finish so I could go back to the Gryffindor common room. Once Pomfrey finished I walked into the common room and was glared at by Millicent and Pansy. Hermione, Ron, and Harry were sitting by the fire.

"What did Professor Snape want?" Pansy asked half growling.

"Family matter so it's none of your bee's wax," I replied. They just continued glaring at me. I shoved past them to Harry and the others.

"Family matter? But your parents are dead," Harry said.

"What? When how?" Ron asked while Hermione was just shocked.

"At the beginning of summer, when my parents came to get me at the train station, they were hit by a car. Spent the summer with my aunt and uncle here in England." I told them not really wanting to talk about it any more.

"Sorry," Ron mumbled looking at the floor while Hermione hugged me. Harry could see that I didn't want to talk about it so he started to talk about Quidditch.

"I don't see what he sees in her. I mean she is just a stuck up, stupid, blond bit… I bet she is a mudblood just like most of Gryffindor," We heard Pansy spat suddenly.

"You know that makes two of us!" I yelled at her confusing her beyond no end. Hermione was smiling while Harry and Ron were chuckling. Luckily Draco was out of the room at the moment.

The next morning we got the best news we had gotten in a while, the Slytherins were going back to their own house. Even the fat lady was happy to get rid of the Slytherins. Even though this was wonderful news I didn't leave the common room that day, thankfully it was a Saturday. Just curled up on the couch and did some homework. Part way through the day Hermione came and sat next to me. We were the only ones in the common room.

"Here I'm sure that you'd also enjoy these now," she said as she sat next to me with a big box in her hand.

"Huh? What are you talking about Hermione?" I asked some what confused.

"Oh I just have a feeling that you probably feel like I do," Hermione grumped. I smiled and nodded.

"I guess so," I said as we sat in silence for a second before I started wondering what was in the box. "Hermione."

"Yes," she replied looking up from starring at the fire place.

"What's in the box?"

"Chocolate, the cure for everything," she said smiling brightly as she opened the box. It was filled with lots of milky brown chunks of chocolate.

"Where did you get this! You are a life saver!" I told her as we both dived into the chocolate.

"Mum sent it to me, thought that I would like it," Hermione replied around a piece of chocolate in her mouth. "Bless your mum. I've been craving chocolate for so long." She just smiled as we both chowed down on the chocolate.

A little later the portrait opened to let in one solitary guy.

"Hey you two," Gourry said as we both turned to see who had walked in.

"Hi," We both replied then turned back.

"What cha eating," he asked as his hand reached for some of the chocolate that was in the box.

"Chocolate, and no touch," I said glaring at him with a fire ball in my hands. He just backed off and sat in the middle of common room.

We calmly went back to eating the chocolate and it wasn't but a few minutes later when Harry, Ron and Zelgadis walked in.

"Gourry??" Zelgadis asked confused as to why he was sitting on the floor in the middle of the common room. Next they were pushed out of the way Lina, Amelia and Professor McGonagall. .

"Granger, Lanobi, what did you do to Mr. Gabrive?" McGonagall questioned looking at a dumbfounded Gourry.

"We just said no chocolate," Hermione and I replied calmly. McGonagall shook her head.

"GOURRY!" Lina yelled at him. While Zelgadis and Amelia just looked at him. He was still sprawled out in the middle of the floor shocked.

"What did you do to him???" Harry said as he backed up a step.

"Yeah," Ron added while McGonagall was just shaking her head.

"Nothing," I said.

"GOURRY?" Lina yelled while Zelgadis was now shaking his head at Gourry. "TRYING TO GET THEIR CHOCOLATE?" Lina yelled preparing to fireball him.

"Ummm…. Is it allowed for teachers to blow each other up?" Harry asked.

"YES if they are marranggenally mad at each other," Lina replied.

"You know for a second there I thought you were going to say that you were married," Ron said chuckling.

"No, why would I say such a thing?" Lina said turning a bright red while holding Gourry's mouth shut.

I just hung my head saying, "It wasn't a dream, dang it wasn't a dream. I really did see them in a class room making out."

"WHAT?" everyone turned to me.

"A little bit ago I saw those two making out, snogging, in the Transfiguration class room.

"WHAT?" everyone said expect for Lina and Gourry who were both bright red.

"I though you locked the door," Gourry said.

"What I thought that you….oh why do I even bother?" Lina said back sitting next to Gourry.

"When did this happen?" Amelia questioned.

"Are you two really married?" Zelgadis asked. Lina just nodded. That through both of them into a flurry of questions, of when, where, why they hadn't been invited and so on.

"Wait just a minute! You two were doing what in my class room?" McGonagall suddenly asked startling us all.

"We were…."

Harry and Ron soon joined us and were sitting on either side of Hermione and I. Harry next to Hermione and Ron next to me. Ron unconsciously started for some of the chocolate.

"I wouldn't if I were you" I told him and his hand flew back fast.

"Sorry habit." Ron replied.

"Umm…let's get out of here before they blow up at us," I suggested as I grabbed more chocolate. The three of them nodded and we sneaked past the fighting siblings and teachers.

"Thanks for the Chocolate Hermione," I told her.

"No problem," she replied then held the box out, "You guys want some?"

"Are we going to end up like Gourry?" Harry asked timidly. Hermione and I giggled a little and shock our heads. Relived Harry and Ron took some. We walked the halls for a while, with me a step behind Harry, Ron and Hermione, when we stumbled upon something we shouldn't have.

"How could you let such a monster be here Albus," a man said to Dumbledore.

"He is helping, Cornelius Fudge ," Dumbledore replied calmly then continued. "If it wasn't for him some certain people would not still be here."

"Just watch him," Fudge grumbled then walked off and directly into Harry, Ron and Hermione as they turned the corner. I was still around the corner and looked on to see what would happen. Harry was about to apologized but Cornelius Fudge, the minister of magic, wouldn't let him.

"Well, well, if is isn't the famous Harry Potter. Had any fainting spells, or do you just save those for the press?" Fudge spat. Whoa what did Harry do to this guy? I wondered.

"Still think that you-know-who is back? Oh have you had any interesting conversations with any snakes lately?" Harry didn't even filch he just glared at Fudge. Apparently more happened last year then I know.

"You have no idea Amber," Harry said to me and I could feel his pain as he remember the year before.

"Dang Harry I sorry," I thought back.

"Hey leave him alone Fudge!" Ron suddenly said springing to Harry's defense.

"Why don't you shut up you red-headed git Weasley. Just like your father an idiot, messing in muggle or wizarding business when you shouldn't be," Fudge told Ron. That set Hermione off.

"Hey why don't you leave both of them alone! You will never understand what Harry's gone through. PLUS WHAT'S WRONG WITH MIUGGLES!" Hermione said raising her voice in the last part of her sentence also glaring at Fudge.

"You stay out of things you wouldn't have any understanding of You Mudblood," Fudge spat. That got Harry, and Ron mad but they weren't fast enough. "You are all just tro…."

"FIREBALL!" I yelled hitting Fudge. Fudge was now trying to put out the fire on his robes. Four heads turned my direction. "Whoops, I didn't mean to do that. I was just looking for my candy," I said innocently holding up a fireball candy. "Sorry sir," I told him as he glared at me to walk off to the hospital wing.

"Nice shot Amber," Ron said as we headed to the library.

"Thanks"

"But why?" Harry asked.

"Yeah he didn't say anything about you," Hermione added.

"I don't care if he is the minister of magic, he has no right to insult you guys like that. I know I don't know or even understand completely what happened last year or the years before that nor could I ever really hope to, but not even I believed a word that Rita COW wrote," I said.

"Not even about Harry's dangerous fainting spells?" Ron asked. I shook my head.

"Or even that I was a scarlet woman, because supposedly I was playing with Harry and Viktor's hearts?" Hermione questioned.

"OH you mean that was true!" I said teasingly.

"AMBER!" she yelled at me glaring.

I just returned the smile and said. "She shouldn't be a reporter for the Daily prophet, she should be a reporter for a tabloid."

"Well one thing she wrote last year was true," Harry said as we walked into a crowed of students.

"That Hagrid is half giant? Well of course just look at him. He is a big guy and one of the sweetest ones I've met. Rats scare me more then Hagrid," I said. Once I had Ron stopped causing Harry to run into his back, while Hermione hit Harry's and I just looked at the three.

"Did I say something wrong?" I asked as we were once again alone in the hall.

"We've had our share of rats,"Hermione said sighing. Harry and Ron just looked at each other.

"Snape, I have the right to talk to my son when ever. There are several things that I need to…." We heard a voice approaching us.

"That's Lucius Malfoy! What is he doing here!" Harry said to us. I did the first thing that came to my mind and that was to change forms. I was now in Harry's arms as a fox shaking. Just in time too, Professor Snape and Lucius Malfoy came around the corner. I looked at my uncle for the first time and was shocked. "He looks a lot like my father!" I thought as I growled at him. I already had Hermione slightly glaring at me, but at the moment I was more worried about my uncle. Harry softly petted me trying to calm me down but it wasn't working all that well. "You mean that is what your father looked like?" Hermione asked as she stood closer to Harry also trying to calm me down instead of growling at me.

"Yeah, only better hair style, same color though, blue eyes, and nicer attitude," I told them.

"Look Lucius I don't know where he is if he isn't in the Slytherin common room or in classes," Snape said. They hadn't even noticed us yet. Lucius just glared at Snape and Snape matched his glare. There was silence for a moment until Snape, who was facing us, finally realized that we were there.

"What are you three doing here?" he growled at us. I growled right back. Harry put an hand over my muzzle to quite me down. Snape walked up to us leaving Malfoy across the hall.

"Since when did Hogwarts decide that foxes were acceptable pets?" Lucius questioned us.

"Since never now get it out of here," Snape snapped.

"Y…yes professor," Hermione stuttered as we turned and half ran back to the common room. "Oh I forgot I was going to get a book," Hermione said as she hurried back to the library leaving Ron, Harry and me being carried in Harry's arms. "You know Ron I bet Hermione rather be where I am," I told him. Ron just smiled back at me.

"I think you are right," he replied as we walked through the portrait.

"What are you two talking about?" Harry suddenly asked.

"Nothing," Ron said as he sat on the couch. I jumped down from Harry's arms as he joined Ron.

"You know Amber it's lucky that you thought of that so fast. Other wise I'm sure we would have gotten into a huge mess," Harry said. I just nodded getting lost in my thoughts.

Later that evening once most of everyone was already asleep Harry, and I were the only ones in the common room. I had finished studying but it was that time of the month and unfortunately this made me very clingy and want to cuddle, with any guy, well almost any guy.

"Grrr," I said but what I didn't know was that I had unconsciously changed into a fox again and was now sitting next to Harry.

"What's wrong silver?" he asked as he raised his arms inviting me to sit on his lap.

"Nothing just annoyed about life," I told him as I curled up on lap.

"Ahh," he replied as he went back to studying. He started to stroke my back absentmindedly as he read a book. I was very content, who wouldn't be? I was sitting in a good looking, and yes Harry was very good looking, boy's lap. Not to mention the small fact that he was the famous boy that lived, not that I saw him as that any more he was my friend Harry. More then half of the Hogwarts girls would have loved to be in my spot. One in particular would kill me if she knew where I was. Not that she would admit this, being as stubborn as she was. "Stupid female hormones." I heard, but didn't really register.

"Hey Harry," that one voice trickled to my sleepy ears. "CRUD!!!!" I thought as I lifted my head.

"Hi Hermione," he said looking up from the book but still was stroking my back. I don't think he realized what he was doing.

"Uh Harry," Hermione said glaring and her voice was deadly. Hermione said glaring at me "AMBER!"

"Uhh excuse me, I've got to go," I said jumping up and next to the two. She was glaring at Harry and Harry had no idea why. I ran up the stairs only to run into Ron.

"Hey Amber, why the hurry?" he asked grabbing my shoulders.

"Ummmm, trying to stay away from Hermione's wrath at the moment. I would stay on her good side for a few days," I whispered. Ron just looked at me confused. I just looked at him then turned to go to my own room. Hermione came up just a few minutes later.

"Hermione?" I called from my bed.

"Yes?" she grumped at me.

"Sorry."

"Don't worry about it," she said getting into bed. "It's just stupid female hormones." I just laughed and drifted off to sleep.
