Thanks for the reviews people. Some questions were asked and I just like to say actually read the story before you ask questions the answers are all in there.
Sorry it's taken so long for me to update but I've been sick hopefully I'll be updating more regularly in the future.
Chapter 5: Not all Slytherins are bad
Dear Mr. Harry Potter
My name is Amelia Bones and I am currently the Senior Director of the Defence Departments within the ministry of magic. As you no doubt know Voldemort has spies inside the ministry. I am not one of them, he has realised already that I am an enemy, as the daily prophet printed so graciously about the attack on my family.
This letter is not to tell you what you already know but to tell ask for your help. I know that Dumbledore is back in position but I also know that he is old and idealistic. He wields great power and influence but so do you. After your bravery in the face of adversity last year many people are willing to back you.
I want to form a partnership with you Mr. Potter. You have information and insight that nobody else has and we have information from the first war that you may indeed find useful. As well a resources you don't have. There is also the information stolen from the hall or prophesies that rumour has it concerns the future outcome of this war.
I would like to schedule a meeting with you as soon as possible. Please owl back
Yours faithfully
Senior Director
Amelia Bones
Looking over the letter for what must have been the 12th Harry pulled a plank piece of parchment closer to write back a response.
Dear Madam Bones
I'm delivering this message to you the only way I know of that is completely safe. Please meet me at the Hogshead bar at 11:30 this Tuesday night. I am interested to hear what you have to say. I would also prefer it if you didn't tell anyone of this meeting though I do understand that you will need to bring a guard with you.
I'm sure Susan will love seeing you again so soon
Harry James Potter
Sealing that letter with the lightning bolt seal he had bought custumal made Harry looked around the common room. It was completely deserted, save for him and he could not hear any movement from the stairs.
'Dobby' Harry called and with a pop the house elf appeared.
'Yes Harry Potter Sir?' the elf asked happily his big eyes watching him.
'I have a favour to ask of you, can you please deliver a letter for me?' Harry asked. 'It's very important that this letter does not get intercepted at all.'
'Harry Potter trusts dobby to carry an important message. Dobby will not disappoint Harry Potter sir.' The elf squeaked happily and Harry smiled.
'Yes Dobby I trust you a lot more than I trust Kreature. This letter has to get delivered to Senior Director Amelia Bones. Can you make sure she's alone and make sure nobody else reads it deliver it straight to her.' Harry handed over the letter with a nod and a pop Dobby was gone.
Sitting back Harry thought about what he had just done. Hopefully Madam Bones wouldn't consider his mentioning Susan in his letter as a threat. He would have to talk to her to organize for her to come along with him. He would have to make sure that he could bring a decent deal up to the table. Especially since there was something he wanted quite a lot.
'So how is everything in Hermione study land? I haven't really been able to talk to you since school started.' Harry asked as he relaxed back on the blanket he had conjured for their picnic. The Great Lawn was quiet as he and Hermione ate their lunch. Ron who had liked the idea of food had disappeared again so they were left to themselves.
'Oh I've become my own land have I?' Hermione smirked raising an eyebrow. 'I've been having fun. I know you were a little worried that I would become all school and hard work being with Antony but I'm not.'
Harry smiled she could read him so easily. Then again they had been best friends for over five years now. 'I now that, for one you're here with me and second I've seen you become closer friends with some of the other high achievers. Padma seems to love arguing with you.' Harry laughed and Hermione giggled.
'Oh I don't know she seems to be able to compartmentalize her life well. Nearly to the point of split personalities, she has quiet a vicious funny side too.' Hermione sighed and paused. 'I'm worried about Ron something is up with him.' Hermione asked looking at Harry as if he held all the answers.
'To be completely honest Hermione I'm worried too. You know how I'm doing healing training with Madam Pomfrey?' she nodded 'Well you might have noticed that Pansy wasn't at classes yesterday, she's in the hospital wing after being beaten raped then beaten again. It was horrible and Madam Pomfrey wouldn't have let me help but we needed to get her ready for transport so that she could get taken to St Mungo's. Anyway, I told the girls last night after practice to just watch out because Pomfrey said that savage attacks like that never just happen once.'
Thinking back Harry shuddered at his friend's cruelty.
'Please that slimy bitch would have disserved it.' Ron sneered as he got changed after practice.
'Ron, I don't ever want to hear you say things like that. Apologise for it.' Harry snapped at once removing his attention from the shaken girls.
'Get fucked you know she's a hussy. If she got slapped around a little then it's her fault.' Ron roared back. 'And who are you to talk you whipped little faggot! With all those stupid little bitches swooning all over you like your some type of god!'
'How can you say that to Harry? After all he's been through for you, and for the rest of our family! Honestly Ron how long until you grow up!' Ginny yelled. 'And you wonder why mum prefers him over you.' that was a low blow if Harry ever heard one.
'Like you can talk! The reason you're popular is because you've been sleeping around with anything with a dick!' Ron yelled and Ginny's wand was to his throat in an instant.
'Take that back you pathetic, vial piece of shit.' Ginny sneered and Harry moved curiously to grab Ron.
'Ginny lower the wand, he's out of line but killing him will lower you to his level.' He waited till she begrudgingly lowered it and took a step back. 'Ron it's best if you just go. We'll talk about this later.' You're lucky, you're not on A team or I'd suspend you from the first game.' Harry warned darkly.
'Whatever you're a pathetic captain anyway.' Ron sneered, storming back off to the castle slamming things as he went.
Recounting it to Hermione Harry couldn't help but shake his head. 'Honestly I'm considering replacing him.'
'He's not the same person he used to be. Then again neither are you or I.' Harry raised an eyebrow at her and she laughed. 'Oh come on Harry you know what I mean. We have never been able to just sit out in the sun and openly chat about anything before. And yes I know that that had as much to do with my bookworm way as much as you're extreme secretively.'
Poking his tongue out at her he couldn't help but laugh in agreement. Things had changed and they had each changed. Maybe Ron's wasn't a change for the better like theirs seemed to be.
'You know I was only secretive because you were such a nosy know it all.' He teased and she made a fake gasp slapping him playfully.
'Oh really well I think it was because you're a stupid cootie riddled boy.' Hermione tried to keep her face straight before bursting into giggles.
'Oh really, I thought you were suppose to be smart? I hate to break it to you but its girls who have cooties everybody knows that.' Harry smirked jumping up and running away as Hermione gave chase.
Sitting out on the edge of the ninth floor terrace Ron watched as his two supposed best friends made fools of themselves. He didn't need them, especially not Harry, as far as he was concerned Harry could go kill He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named then go drown in the black lake.
The git had weaselled his way into his family. Even his own mother was completely taken with him. It was better last year when everyone avoided Harry like the plague. Percy had been Ron should have just ditched him. He couldn't do it now though people would kick a fuss.
Not to mention he would probably get kicked off the Quiditch team not that he was even really on it as he kept getting reminded. Ginny took every chance she damn well could to rub it in his face.
Well at least that stupid bitch Parkinson wouldn't ruin everything, in fact she would never do anything again he had made sure of it.
Not even perfect Potter with his healing training could undo what he had done. He had out done Harry Potter. Even if he couldn't gloat about it, he still knew. It would be his little secret.
Leaning over Ron looked at the ground below before rolling off to stand safely on the balcony. Time to rejoin the idiots of, Hogwarts School of Magical Melodrama.
Katie Bell was looking through books on the goblin wars of the seventeen hundreds when strong arms wrapped around her waist. Feeling the gentle kisses placed along her neck Katie's eyes fluttered and she tried not to moan.
'How was your morning?' Harry asked pulling away enough for her to turn around. Hearing the whispers from the gaggle of girls that were always herding after him she sighed. It was annoying that they were noticed so much more than any other couple. It was frustrating to know that every girl wanted her man.
'It was good but this afternoon will be perfect.' Katie smiled and Harry grinned kissing her gently on the tip of her nose. He was so affectionate all the time, but yet he never smothered her. Lavender had said that he must have had a very steep learning curve with Cho.
'You're right, are you ready to go or are you in the middle of something I don't mind waiting.' Harry said releasing her from his arms and propping himself up against the other wall or books.
'I still have a little bit left to do on my history of magic Goblin wars of the seventeen hundreds. Do you mind waiting around. Or I could just finish it off tomorrow.' Katie said and Harry shook his head.
'Its fine I'll go do some of the research that McGonagall keeps telling us to do and as soon as your finished we'll go.' Harry smiled kissed her on the forehead and left.
Turning back to her work she couldn't help but listen to the harsh whispers that surrounded her.
It was an hour till they were free of the library and walking around the lake. The sun was still high in the sky and with Harrys arm around her she felt warm and content. They were playing a muggle game twenty questions that Harry had proposed so that they could learn about each other.
'What's your favourite hobby?' Harry asked.
'Flying, what's yours?'
'My favourite hobby would have to be teaching.' Giving him an incredulous look he started laughing. 'Hey don't look at me like that. It's a great feeling to see people achieve things that they never thought they could.'
'I guess you're right, ok my turn. How many girls have you dated?' he looked a little hesitant to answer but sighed.
'Other than you, I've been on one date with Cho Chang and it was a disaster.' Harry shrugged. 'What about you?'
'Other than you two George when I could get him away from Fred, and Andrew McMullen.' Katie confessed.
'Ok my question, have you ever had sex?' Harry asked.
'Yeah I have. And you.'
'No, it's your question.' Harry said.
'Do you like being bought up in the muggle world?' Harry gave a bitter laugh.
'Well I like knowing about muggle things and that but my uncle and aunt aren't exactly the nicest muggles around. Maybe one day I'll tell you about them. What's a wizarding household like?' Obviously his guardians were a touchy subject so she'd leave it.
'Well I don't have any muggle experience to base it off but its lots of household magic, lots of potions. At the moment lots of rules and barriers. We had people coming through putting up a bunch of magic wards and things.' Katie sighed. 'I hope their fine I'm sure they will be. My dad knows his stuff, so does my mum.'
'I'm sure they'll be fine Katie.' Harry reassured her. Being held in his arms always felt secure, nothing could hurt her. Not with Harry protecting her.
Stretching up to meet her lips to his Katie knew exactly what she wanted. Licking his bottom lip for entrance Katie deepened the kiss sliding her hands up his corrugated chest she couldn't help but get excited.
Feeling Harry pull away she made a grab for his belt pulling him closer while grinding up against him. He didn't fight anymore lifting her up against him as he assaulted her neck with savage passion. Taking his shirt in her hands she ripped the buttons apart, he could fix it later.
'I need you now!' she breathed in his ear gently tugging on the lob with her teeth.
'Anything' was the only reply before warm hands cupped her breasts massaging them through the fabric of her bra.
'Oh Merlin don't stop.' Katie whispered and Harry smirked against her neck.
'Come on we need to move to the forest of we'll get expelled for this.' Harry smiled taking her hand and running into the gentle shade of the tall oak trees. Conjuring a blanket Harry laid down resting on his elbows to look up at her.
'Are you sure about this?' he asked gently and she nodded. He was the virgin, she should have asked him. Looking at her the way he was she knew he was ready. He was always ready. Stepping forward Katie lowered herself down to straddle him.
'I want you, Harry.' Leaning forward to kiss him Katie felt a giddy excitement as his hands gripped her ass pulling her tightly to his pulsing crotch. Their lips locked again as Harry let his hands travel up her shirt pulling the garment up as he went. Pulling apart Katie raised her arms as he slide off her shirt only to moan as he attacked her chest with hot open mouth kisses. Reaching up she unclipped her bra bearing all to him.
'So beautiful' Harry breathed out when he pulled away to look at her. Disappointed that he stopped kissing her, Katie ground her hips into his crouch.
'I need you so bad, Katie please' Harry moaned. Slipping back onto his legs Katie unclipped his belt and undid his pants sliding them down to reveal his wholesome plaid boxers. Without the restriction of his pants she could see the bulge of little Harry clearly. He easily kicked off his jeans.
'You have too many cloths on' Harry murmured and gently flipped us both over. The feel of Harrys hands removing her skirt as his lips worked there magic to drive her crazy.
Wrapping her arms around his neck Katie sucked on his adams apple as his fingers traced patterns and memorised every detail of her body. The feel of her now naked body against him made her wish she had ripped his boxers off with his pants but he was already getting rid of the useless material.
'I need you in me.' she breathed and he nodded positioning himself fully on top of her and looking into her eyes before guiding himself in with a moan. The warmth and presser that engulfed him as he entered her was almost too much for him to handle but something snapped in his mind and he just let his body react to her feel.
Every touch and moan spurring him on every shudder and gasp sending him closer to insanity. The sound and feel of their bodies' coming together as they moved was frantic and needing.

'Did you hear?' Hermione asked Ron and I as appearing at my side as we made our way down to the breakfast on Monday morning. I was late this morning ditching my morning workout in favour of sleep after the S.S meeting last night. Duelling was going to take a lot of practice.
'That depends what's the word?' Ron said with a grin. Whatever was up with him seemed to have passed.
'A bunch of fourth years were found overdosed on drugs. Their getting treated in the hospital wing, I heard the teachers talking they think it has to do with the Parkinson attack.' Hermione gushed out.
'Why do they think that?'Ron asked.
'Because, drugs would explain some of the magic and mental damage done to Parkinson. Also they are so close together. And they don't have any other leads.' I told him picking up on why Hermione had been in a rush to share it with them. Nodding her head Hermione linked arms with us and we kept walking.
'So what are the teachers going to do about it?' Ron asked.
'Were going to be doing even more prefect patrols and I think they're going to add two new prefects to every year and house. So Harry you'll probably be added.' Hermione smiled nudging him in the ribs.
'Na, I have enough on my plate, if they ask I'll tell them to ask Neville. He's got a good head on his shoulders.' I smiled at her and she smiled back. And he was nearly me
'He's getting really good in training isn't he? I think Luna is a good influence on him. A weird influence but still a good one.' Hermione smiled and I couldn't help but laugh.
'Like our influence on you?' Harry asked and Hermione smirked.
'No that influence is all bad.' At her words Harry shot her a look of mock outrage that cracked up his two best friends.
'Come on I'm starving.' Ron smiled and Hermione grinned.
'Ron, you're a bottomless pit.' Hermione laughed and they made their way into the great hall.
'Hey Susan can I have a word?' it was Tuesday morning in care of magical creatures and Harry knew this would be the best time to talk to her about his plans. Leaning against a tree with her eyes closed Harry noted that she looked fairly worn out.
'Sure Harry what is it.' Susan asked in her usual quiet voice. Looking around to make sure no one was paying attention Harry leaned against the tree next to her.
'I'm meeting your aunt tonight at 11:30, with the things that happened in the summer I thought you might like to come and see her again.' Watching Susan's face light up Harry knew he had made the right decision.
'Yes that would be great. But where are we going to meet her?' Susan asked.
'Just meet me at the library after last class and I'll tell you all you need to know.' Harry grinned and returned to the lesson where everyone was completely oblivious to their exchange.
'Harry , ain't planning on starting no illegal clubs tonight are ya?' Abaforth smirked as Harry and Susan walked into the nearly disserted bar.
'Not tonight, a round of drinks on me tonight.' Harry smiled and the few drunks in the pub let out a few drunken shouts, and grunts.
'I thought this was suppose to be secret.' Susan whispered.
'Were hiding in plain sight. They're not going to be thinking about illegal clubs their going to be thinking about they saw Harry Potter with a new girl. It's part of the plain.' Harry smiled and she huffed.
Abaforth grinned and gestured to the back room, Harry gave a nod dropping a small bag of galleons on the bar. They walked into the back room and Harry saw the Senior Director. Amelia bones was a sticked looking woman but she shared the same basic features as Susan. Harry guessed that Susan's mother must have fitted to the same mould as them too. There were two aurora's that Harry had never seen before with her, both stone cold expressions.
'Hello Senior Director Bones' I smiled and she raised an eyebrow.
'Mr. Potter, how nice it is to finally meet you.' the woman stood up and Harry extended his hand to her.
'It's nice to meet you too. Susan's talked highly rather highly of you.' Harry smiled trying to brighten her overly serious mood as they shock hands.
'Yes she does like to talk a lot.' Madam Bones agreed. Not exactly the reaction he wanted but it could have been worse.
'I'll give you two a moment. I need to discuss some business with Abaforth.' Harry smiled stepping back and giving the Auroro's a once over before levelling.
'Susan what are you doing here. It's too dangerous for you to be out of the castle.' Amelia scolded her niece.
'Aunty Amel I'm safe with Harry besides I know the shortcuts and hidden passage ways into the school. It's not like we walked out the front gate. And Harry gave me an emergency portkey anyway. He's thought this over aunty.' Susan told her aunt trying not to roll her eyes.
'Yes I still don't like that he brought you. What exactly does your being here accomplish for him.' Amelia bones asked raising an eyebrow.
'I told you about last year, this year the training is more intense. Anyway, if something happens to Harry then I can still take the information back. I'm not a main target for Voldemort, but some of the others are. Also Harry knows your all I have know. He knows I don't want to be alone like he is.' Susan told her aunt.
'I still don't like it. And I don't like you being in any war business either your too young.' Amelia said.
'I'm older than Harry, but when the worlds in trouble you all expect him to carry it on his shoulders. He was eleven you know. The first time he had to fight Voldemort when he was living in another's body. He was just eleven.' Susan said. 'He'll be back in a few seconds.'
'Just warn us if anyone odd comes in.' Harry said to Abaforth before returning to the back room.
'Alright I believe we have business to discuss.' Harry said putting down a tray of butter beers.
'Yes we do.' Amelia agreed. 'I know that you have a low opinion of the Ministry. That's why I'm proposing a deal between you and I not you and the ministry.'
'And who would know of this alliance?' Harry asked.
'Only a select number of staff on my team and the people in this room.' Amelia said.
'I want the names of all the people.' Harry said.
'If you give me the names of all of your.' Amelia bartered.
'No that's not going to happen. You already know too much. That's another reason why I Susan, she's not news to you.' Harry said.
'Then why should I give you the names of my people?' Amelia asked leaning forward in her chair eyeing him critically.
'Because you're the one that needs me. I have money, power and influence greater than anything you can offer. Not to mention my team is safely out of reach inside Hogwarts walls. Whereas, yours are in the outside world, they can be more easily swayed.' Harry said matching her gaze.
'Very well, I'll give you the names. Put like you said Hogwarts is a warded bubble, what good would having their names be?' Amelia asked leaning back in her chair.
'Aunty does it look like we're in Hogwarts right now?' Susan asked before Harry could speak. Amelia gave her niece a sharp look and Harry smirked.
'We have our resources, now tell me what do you want out of this deal.' Harry smiled and relaxed back to hear what the Senior Director had to say.
The wind was cold as we made our way back up to school. Harry was nerves about being caught outside the wards so we didn't go back the same way we had come. That's why we're walking to the shrieking shack.
'You know, you did really well tonight. I didn't know you knew so much about all these laws and stuff.' Harry said surprising her.
'It's a good thing you didn't talk like that while we were negotiating and thanks. You were really good too.' Thankfully my blush was hidden by the dark. Katie was really lucky to have grabbed him so quickly. Every girl at Hogwarts wants to be with him, even me.
'Well I think I'll bring you along to all of my ministry negotiations.' Harry said and I smiled.
'Good thing you've got me then hay?'
'Yeah I guess it is'
'It's not safe to be out this late you know' I smiled leaning against the side of the corridor as I watched Professor McGonagall stare blankly out a window. 'If I meant to hurt you, you wouldn't have been able to do anything.'
'Well Mr. Potter I guess it is my lucky day. Detention for you tomorrow night for leaving Hogwarts grounds and sneaking up on a teacher.' She gave me one of her small grandmotherly smiles that told me she was serious but understanding.
'Dumbledore has his ways and I have mine. How are the fourth years?' I asked and she sighed.
'Healers took them away after dinner. You know, you can come to me or any of the teachers for assistance if you need it? You don't have to save us on your own.' McGonagall said.
'You've already fought your battles; you have to let us fight ours Professor. Don't worry though I'm not alone.' I smiled at her and she nodded a stricken look overcoming her face.
'We should have done more, every year some twisted test of evil was thrown at you and we watched doing nothing because Dumbledore said he was protecting you.' She turned to face me then with a look of determination. 'I don't want the other students to suffer as you did. This war is going to be bad enough without some deranged little hooligan running about the school attacking students.'
'You'll catch the student don't worry. The prefects are taking their jobs seriously. Even Malfoy has been trying to find out who it is even if he is using his thugs to do it. You might not see it because your time is so divided but everyone is stepping up. Even the first years are trying their best to stick together and make sure nothing happens.' I said and she nodded.
'You have the best of both your parents Harry, but at the same time you are completely different. You've grown into a hero for so many people. I've seen it while teaching you, now go to bed before I add to your detention.' Professor McGonagall smirked and I walked silently back to the common room.
So what do you think? Reviews are always nice people I like them so send them please if anyone has any thoughts on what they want to happen next send that thought in too even if you think it sucks just tell me I can handle it. XD
