Zwolftd-
Just get Logheart out. He is an idiot who pound about himself but didn't have anything in his head. Surely that he can't teach anyone or the student. And I hate dumbledore what he think who he is? Just the old man when he will get fired from his position of headmaster? He make harry and the others unhappy cause he doesn't let Harry to resort the house. And why's Theo get much effective about Draco befriend with Harry? Harry's really fragile and innocent. I hate Ron I didn't think he can be this worst. I like the idea that you pairing Oliver with Percy. It's perfect cause one's crazy about academic another one is crazy at sport. I can't wait to see Draco and Harry pairing when they grow up. I think it's really cute protective till next chapter

- So many comments. Lockhart will go eventually. Promise. Like Draco said he is just a grandstanding idiot. He can't teach because he doesn't know enough. Yes, plans are in place for Dumbledore's fall. The only question is who to replace him with. Harry is staying with Severus as a partial protest as well as make it easy for Draco to stay with him.

As for Theo, Theo's father was one of the Dark Lord's oldest supporters. Riddle and Old Nott were schoolmates. the Notts felt replaced by the Malfoys, now Lucius and Draco have betrayed the Dark Lord. Theo is angry because he feels replaced as Draco's friend and that Draco is betraying everything they were raised to believe.

Harry is weak now, but he won't always be. He has a lot of Healing to do. Draco has to walk a fine like between helpful and coddling. He'll learn..

Ron is a bully, he has a temper. Harry refused his friendship and it's making Ron bitter, bitter enough to prevent him from making any friends. Ron is angry because he can't do well, he is angry because his own brothers like Harry better then him.

Well Percy always seems so lonely in the books, he needs someone. They both can be hyper-focused on things like studying or practicing, I think they balance each other. Percy helps Oliver keep up in his studies so he get high enough marks good teams consider him and Oliver helps Percy lighten up and learn to have fun.

It will be a while before Draco and Harry go beyond friendship, they are still twelve and just kids...

Edit: Part 1 takes place in 1991. Part 2 happens in 1992, my mistake.

Hahaha newest take on the first day of year 2, hold on tight!

Chapter 18- A legend, Parseltongue, Seeker vs. Seeker and a rogue Bludger.

Hermione was curled up with Hogwarts- A History again as soon as they reached his rooms…

Harry found Draco and already there, measuring his History of Magic homework. Professor Binns had asked for a three-foot long composition on "The Medieval Assembly of European Wizards."

"I don't believe it, I'm still eight inches short." Blaisé growled, "I'll have to rewrite it." letting go of his parchment, which sprang back into a roll.

"Well, Hermione's done four feet seven inches and her writing's tiny." Draco said pouring over a Potion O.W.L.s guide.

"Where does she find the time?" asked Harry, grabbing the tape measure and unrolling his own homework.

"All the copies of Hogwarts, A History have been taken out," she said, sitting down next to Harry and Draco. "And there's a two-week waiting list. I left my copy at home, but I couldn't fit it in my trunk with all the Lockhart books but I found Harry's."

"Why did you want it?" said Harry.

"The same reason everyone else wants it," said Hermione, "to read up on the legend of the Chamber of Secrets."

"What's that?" said Harry quickly.

"From what I can tell the Chamber of Secrets was…wait I better start at the beginning. You know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago; the precise date is uncertain, by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. The four school Houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. They built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizards suffered much persecution." Hermione stopped to take a breath, "For a few years, the founders worked in harmony together, seeking out youngsters who showed signs of magic and bringing them to the castle to be educated. But then disagreements sprang up between them. A rift began to grow between Slytherin and the others. Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed that magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. He disliked taking students of Muggle parentage, believing them to be untrustworthy. After a while, there was a serious argument on the subject between Slytherin and Gryffindor, and Slytherin left the school."

Harry asked softly, "Is that why Slytherins and Gryffindors don't usually get along?"

"Something like that, most reliable historical sources agree to this point," she said. "Then there is the so-called fanciful legend of the Chamber of Secrets. The story goes that Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in the castle, of which the other founders knew nothing. Slytherin, according to the legend, sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that none would be able to open it until his own true heir arrived at the school. The heir alone would be able to unseal the Chamber of Secrets, unleash the horror within, and use it to purge the school of all who were unworthy to study magic."

Draco rolled his eyes, "The school has been searched for evidence of such a chamber, many times, by the most learned witches and wizards. It does not exist, it is merely a tale told to frighten the gullible."

"Hermione, what exactly does the 'horror within' the Chamber mean?"

"That is believed to be some sort of monster, which the Heir of Slytherin alone can control. I can't say I don't believe there is something. The castle's smells have changed. I smell something old…and foul…and no it's not the Headmaster. Plus there was the hissing on Halloween."

Hermione yelled, "That's it! You heard hissing. Harry heard words. Draco heard nothing."

"Hermione what are you talking about?" Draco asked.

"I think Harry is a Parseltongue like Slytherin."

"No way, Adder can't be. It's a talent only inherited by Slytherin's descendants. My Adder is not related to him. Just because I call him a snake or because he was supposed to be in Slytherin house does not make him a Parselmouth." Draco said hotly.

"What is Parseltongue?" Harry asked curious.

"It's the Language of snakes. Hermione thinks that you can perhaps understand it."

"I think I talked to a snake once. It was at the zoo on Dudley's birthday. The glass in front of his cage vanished. He wanted to go to Brazil. He didn't like how Muggles treated him so he ignored them."

Draco stammered, "You think you talked to him?"

"I don't know. We communicated so I understood him at least. Dudley said I was talking to him."

"If the Monster is a snake…and I can hear it…that…doesn't make me the heir does it?"

"Of course not. You were with me when Mrs. Norris was attacked, don't forget that."

XoooooX

It was the first Quidditch match of the year, Slytherin vs. Gryffindor, Draco vs. Harry, Seeker vs. Seeker.

"Slytherin no longer has the advantage of faster brooms," he began. "No point denying it. But we've got better people on our brooms. Gryffindor now had skill, talent and speed; a deadly combination. We've trained harder than they have, we've been flying in all kinds of weather."

"Too true," muttered George Weasley. "I haven't been properly dry since August."

Chest heaving with emotion, Wood turned to Harry. "It'll be down to you, Harry, to show them that which of you is the better Seeker. Get to that Snitch before Malfoy or die trying, Harry, because we've got to win today, we've got to."

"So no pressure, Harry" said Fred, winking at him.

As they walked out onto the pitch, a roar of noise greeted them; mainly cheers, because Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were anxious to see Slytherin beaten, but the Slytherins in the crowd made their boos and hisses heard, too. Madam Hooch, the Quidditch teacher, asked Flint and Wood to shake hands, which they did, giving each other threatening stares and gripping rather harder than was necessary.

Harry didn't like being against Draco, it didn't feel right…

"On my whistle," said Madam Hooch. "Three… two… one…"

With a roar from the crowd to speed them upward, the fourteen players rose toward the leaden sky. Harry flew higher than any of them, squinting around for the Snitch.

"You alright there Adder?" Draco called from his side.

Harry had no time to reply. At that very moment, a heavy black Bludger came pelting toward him; he avoided it so narrowly that he felt it ruffle his hair as it passed and he could hardly breathe.

"Close one, Harry!" said George, streaking past him with his club in his hand, ready to knock the Bludger back toward a Slytherin. Harry saw George give the Bludger a powerful whack in the direction of Adrian Pucey, but the Bludger changed direction in midair and shot straight for Harry again.

Harry dropped quickly to avoid it, and George managed to hit it hard toward Flint. Once again, the Bludger swerved like a boomerang and shot at Harry's head.

Harry put on a burst of speed and zoomed toward the other end of the pitch. He could hear the Bludger whistling along behind him. What was going on? Bludgers never concentrated on one player like this; it was their job to try and unseat as many people as possible…

Draco cursed, "Bollocks, what it with first matches and things trying to kill you? Bloody Hell, what is wrong with that stupid thing?"

Fred Weasley was waiting for the Bludger at the other end. Harry ducked as Fred swung at the Bludger with all his might; the Bludger was knocked off course.

"Gotcha!" Fred yelled happily, but he was wrong; as though it was magnetically attracted to Harry, the Bludger pelted after him once more and Harry was forced to fly off at full speed.

It had started to rain; Harry felt heavy drops fall onto his face, splattering onto his glasses. He didn't have a clue what was going on in the rest of the game until he heard Lee Jordan, who was commentating, say, "Tie game, thirty points to thirty.'

The mad Bludger was doing all it could to knock Harry out of the air. Fred and George were now flying so close to him on either side that Harry could see nothing at all except their flailing arms and had no chance to look for the Snitch, let alone catch it.

"Someone's tampered with this Bludger…" Fred grunted, swinging his bat with all his might at it as it launched a new attack on Harry.

"We need time out," said George, trying to signal to Wood and stop the Bludger breaking Harry's nose at the same time.

The Bludger ended up crashing and smashing Harry's arm before Wood had obviously gotten the message.

Madam Hooch's whistle rang out and Harry, Fred, and George dived for the ground, still trying to avoid the mad Bludger.

"Forget a team meeting! I'm going to deal with that Bludger myself. The next person or thing that threatens Harry Potter will be destroyed." Draco yelled, "This is for scaring Adder." flames flew from his hand, and then slammed the possessed Bludger so deep and hard into the earth it broke before melting.

"Malfoy! What have you done?" Madam Hooch yelped.

"Eliminating a highly dangerous artifact before it killed a player."

"That shouldn't be possible." she protested.

"Trust me, I've been doing impossible since I was a babe. You got a spare Bludger?" Draco smirked.

"No. We only had one set." Madam Hooch said shaking her head.

"Then we have no choice but to either give the game to Gryffindor or postpone." Draco said with a shrug.

"I vote Postponement since we're tied." Severus called out.

"Postponement would be reasonable." McGonagall agreed.

"I disagree. The Slytherin Seeker destroyed the Bludger in a fit of rage. His team should forfeit." Dumbledore argued.

Madam Hooch glanced at the three authority figures, "A vote of two to one for postponement of two weeks. Malfoy, for destroying the Bludger, you owe us a new set."

"I do not. It was tampered with." Draco said with an air of innocence.

"Can't prove that if you vaporized it." came Ron's sneer.

Draco's eyes narrowed, "Better hope I don't find out you tampered with the Bludger…or you'll never walk again."

Harry flew for Snape, he whimpered, "Papa…it hurts…"

Snape's expression softened, "I'm sure it does." he raised his wand to cast a spell to fix the damage.

Harry saw Lockhart, "Oh, no, not you," he moaned.

"Doesn't know what he's saying," said Lockhart loudly to the anxious crowd of Gryffindors pressing around them. "Not to worry, Harry. I'm about to fix your arm."

"Perhaps my son doesn't know what he's saying but I do. How many times do we have to tell you, don't lay a hand on Harry? Not flesh, not magic, don't touch him." Severus cast a healing charm on Harry's arm.

Harry's pained expression relaxed, "Papa…"

"It's okay Harry. You did okay." Severus ruffled his hair.

"I'm just as tired of you being up there with someone or something trying to kill you…" Draco said holding his arms out.

Harry curled up in his arms, "I feel better now…"

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Troll?

Note: I wonder...should the Ravenclaws walk out at some point?

Hmmm...Harry's a Parselmouth and Draco vaporizes the Bludger...

Who had all of Harry's letters stopped? Who messed with the Bludgers? What are they planning?
