Chapter 5

Disclaimer: This is craziness; someone said I own Harry Potter. Smacked him upside the head is what I did. I do not own it.

A/N: Thanks for reviewing and doing all that other good stuff. Here is the Fifth chapter Enjoy!

The three friends came down from their laughing high and began to discuss more serious matters. "So what's the plan Harry? Neville asked all traces of amusement gone from his voice and face.

"The first part of the plan is the destroy the Horcruxes. We all ready know where they are we just have to gather them and then destroy them."

"We don't have time to do all of that by our selves." Hermione told him.

"I know that." Harry said, "You did not let me finish." He looked at her and she motioned for him to continue. "We will employ the help of the goblins." Harry said.

"Well that seems ok Harry but the thing that confuses me is to how are we going to get out of school to talk to them." Neville asked him.

"Simple I already have this planned out." Hermione looked skeptical but he just smiled at her and continued. "While you were sleeping dear Hermione I couldn't and so I began planning. Dobby!" Harry shouted.

There was a small pop and standing next to Harry was the House elf Dobby. "How can Dobby be helping Master Harry Potter sir." He asked in an eager voice. Hermione looked murderous and Neville confused.

Deciding to calm Hermione, he reached out and took her hand. "Dobby bonded to me during our second year after I freed him and he didn't tell me so I just learned of it."

"Is it true?" She asked Dobby. He nodded. "Do you want to work for Harry?" Hermione asked the tiny house elf.

Dobby nodded his head again causing his long ears to flap around. "Yes Miss Grangey Dobby wants this more than anything." He told her.

"But I thought that you wanted to be a free elf." Dobby nodded his head no.

"I's wanted to be free from bad masters and work for Harry Potter sir." Seeing Hermione about to ask another question Harry butted in and Dobby let out a small sigh of relief.

"We're getting off topic." Neville was confused so asked how Dobby would help. "Show them Dobby please." Dobby nodded and snapped his fingers.

Behind Harry, the air began to shimmer and move about. Seconds later Hermione and Neville both gasped aloud. Standing behind Harry was Harry. "Bloody Hell what it that."

"Well it's something that both Dobby and I recently discovered. We call it an Air walker."

"That's brilliant what can it do!" Neville asked.

"It is a copy of me that Dobby controls. It can walk breath and say anything that Dobby tells it to. A good invention right?"

"Of course" Replied the Air walker Harry. "Most brilliant indeed Dobby good job."

"It's nothing Master Harry's." Both Hermione and Neville were speechless. "This shall help Master Harry accomplish his goals."

"Thank you Dobby that is all for now." Dobby bowed and vanished with a crack and the Air walker Harry vanished too. "A week from today I will visit the Goblins and convince them to help us and use the Air walker so that no one will know that I have left school."

The two nodded. "Can we get Air walkers too Harry?" Neville asked him.

"Sure but you will need a house elf. Dobby can only manage one at a time. Now part two of the plan starts next week also. Anyone want to guess?"

"We need to do something about Umbridge." Neville told Harry.

"Exactly. We need to get rid of her and convince Dumbledore to put someone from the order into the Defense position."

"Who are we going to get Harry?" Hermione looked thoughtful.

"Someone who is good but also someone who we can control." Her thoughtful expression turned to one of fear.

"What are you talking about Harry? Why do we need to have control of this person?" Hermione hated the idea of being in control of any person actions if it was against their will.

"Who runs the Light side of this war Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Dumbledore." She replied.

"Who has total control of everyone in the Light side Hermione?"

"Dumbledore."

"Exactly!" Harry shouted. Neville already knew were Harry was going with this but stayed silent so that Harry could explain to Hermione. "Dumbledore. Everything revolves around him. Everyone is loyal to him and respect him. I do too but as the light side leader he makes too many mistakes and mistakes is something that we cannot afford this time around."

Hermione still looked confused. "Hermione Harry is trying to say that we need someone who will look at things from our point of view and help us achieve what we need." Neville said to her.

Realization dawned upon Hermione. "So we have to manipulate people form the side lines while still making it seem like Dumbledore's in control." Harry smiled and nodded.

"We can help Dumbledore by discreetly feeding his information. He'll give orders that we give him to everyone and what we want will be done because no one will question any order that comes from him."

"I don't like it but if it has to be done then so be it." Harry smiled and continued.

"Part three of the plan is to raise an army. And this can only work if we get Umbridge out of this school and someone competent into the Defense position. We won't wait until sixth year for Voldemort to attack. We're going to kill him this year so that we can get on with our lives." The other two did not argue with this part of the plan because they knew that it was necessary to have a well trained army to help even the odds against Voldemort.

"And the last part of the plan is to find the Phoenixes."

"Are you sure about that Harry? I mean we probably don't even need them to win." Neville reasoned.

"Your right we probably don't but Dumbledore did say that they were important so I want to find them." Neville nodded in acceptance.

A minute of silence passed. "We need to do something about Ron." Hermione unexpectedly said.

Neville nodded in agreement. "We need to keep a close eye on him to make sure he doesn't screw up our plans by going to Voldemort.

"Who knows maybe Ron will grow up and decide to stay with the light side." Harry said halfheartedly.

Hermione let out an un-lady like snort. "Oh please Harry; people like him will never grow up. He is used to getting what he wants so I think it's better if we just kill him." Hermione said to the two of them.

Harry smiled at her. "We can't kill him yet but I agree with Neville he needs to be watched." Harry looked at the two. "So anyone want to make any changes to my plan. They shook their heads no. "Good then we put the plan into action one week from now. I think we deserve to enjoy this week before we do anything dangerous."

"Well," Neville said when no one had spoke in a while I'll be heading to bed now enjoy your time together." They bade Neville goodnight and he left the room of requirement.

Hermione got up and walked over to Harry. She sat down on his lap, threw her legs over the armrest, and buried her face into his neck. "I love you Hermione." Harry whispered.

"I love you too Harry." He kissed the top of her head and held her tightly.

After a moment Harry spoke. "Hermione do you remember our wedding?"

"What wedding. All I remember was you proposing, I said yes and that was it." Harry laughed.

"I'll give you a proper wedding this time. It'll be the best wedding that anyone ever went to." Harry said to her.

"Well I'm looking forward to it but this time you'll have to meet my parents." Hermione told Harry who groaned loudly causing Hermione to giggle.

"Do I have to?

"Of course Harry they'll love you there's nothing to be worried about."

Sure there isn't." Harry said skeptically and Hermione laughed.

"Where were the two of you last night?" Ron demanded as Harry and Hermione sat down at the Gryffindor table.

"Oh we fell asleep while doing some research in the library." Harry said to Ron who snorted.

"First day back and your all ready in the library Hermione. I expected this from you but Harry?" He shook his head in disgust.

"Why don't you shut up and eat Ron." Harry said. Beside his Hermione was shaking with anger. He rubbed her leg and she slowly began to calm down.

After finishing their breakfast Harry and Hermione left and when they were out of the Great Hall Harry vanished. Hermione stopped walking. Harry ran down the stairs next to her.

"Well looks like the Air walker works perfectly!" Harry said in a happy voice. "No one noticed the difference."

Hermione nodded. She was still angry about what Ron had said. "Hermione?" She looked at Harry. He leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. Harry deepened the kiss by slipping his tongue into her mouth while she did the same.

They backed up against the wall, Harry lifted her off her feet, and she wrapped her legs around him. Her hands gripped the back of his head and pushed his lips into hers more forcefully.

Harry broke the kiss and began kissing up and down her neck. She moaned as he sucked on the skin. She was sure that he would leave a mark. "H… Ha…. Harry we need to stop. He pulled away and rested his forehead against hers.

"Feeling better now?" He asked her in a whisper.

She nodded and he let her down from her position on the wall. "Let's go find Neville and head to class." She said. Harry nodded and the two of them went looking for Neville.

Ron was in a bad mood. The first day of classes went horribly for him. In transfiguration, they were supposed to change their turtle into a tortoise. The only people who managed to do that were Harry, Hermione and Neville. When he asked them how they did it, they just showed him the wand movements and ignored him.

In potions, he had expected Harry or Hermione to pair up with him but they didn't. Harry went with Neville and Hermione went with a student from Slytherin. Ron was left with Crabbe as a partner and they failed because Crabbe hit Ron's elbow while he was adding powered unicorn horn and he added too much to the potion causing it to explode and cover him in red pulsating boils.

Now he was coming back from the hospital wing. Stepping into the portrait hole he was going to make his way up to his bed but stopped when he saw his sister and Hermione talking. Quietly making his way to them, he sat in an empty armchair that was far away enough to avoid diction but close enough so that he could hear the conversation.

"So Ginny how was the first day back?" Hermione asked her best girlfriend.

"It was great Hermione. I had the-" Ginny stopped talking and looked more closely at Hermione. Reaching over to her Ginny grabbed Hermione's shirt collar and pulled it downward. She gasped and squealed like a little girl. "Oh Hermione who gave you that hickey?" Ginny asked.

Hermione's hand shot up to the spot where it was and rubbed. She smiled slightly. "Tell me who the lucky guy is." Ginny demanded.

"I can't Ginny it's a secret and we don't want anyone to know yet." Ginny looked shocked and disappointed.

"Its not Malfoy is it?" Ginny asked.

"Ew gross I would never kiss that abomination!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Is he cute at least?" Ginny asked wanting all the details, she could get.

"Yes you would love him Ginny."

"Oh please just tell me who it is please." Hermione smiled and shook her head no.

"I will find out who he is, you can't keep it a secret forever you're bound to slip up somehow." Ginny said pouting at the lack of information Hermione had given her.

Ron listened in on the conversation with a stunned silence. Someone had laid their hands on his girl and marked her and she was happy about it.

He was seething with rage he would find out who this boy was and kill him but not before he confronted Hermione about it.

Hermione said good-bye to Ginny and left to take her shower. Walking out into the common room, she saw Ron was sitting in one of the chairs facing the girl's dorm. "Hermione wait." He called out to her.

She stopped and turned around facing him. She knew that this was a bad idea but she still waited like he asked. Ron came up to her, grabbed her head, and pushed his mouth onto hers. Taking her surprise as an invitation, he stuck his tongue in her mouth and kissed her harder.

Hermione was repulsed angry and outraged. Here was Ron being Ron and kissing her unexpectedly. It took her a few seconds to recover and she began struggling to get away from him. She drew her fist back and punched him right in the stomach.

He doubled over as the air left his lungs. He did manage to get out one sentence though. "What the hell was that for Hermione?"

"That was for kissing me!" She shouted at him. Ron regained his breath and straightened himself out.

"What do mean, I though that you wanted to be my girlfriend?" He said to her completely unaware of the fact that she just punched him.

"Not anymore Ron. I'm already with someone else and if you touch me like that again you'll regret it." She turned around to leave and the anger that Ron was holding back all night broke free and he grabbed her hand and spun her back around.

Grasping her by the shoulders, he screamed in her face. "Who is it? Huh who's the bastard that stole you from me?" He demanded spit flying from his mouth.

"No one can steal something that you never had Ron, now let me go!" She shouted just as loud as he did. Much to her surprise he did. But then the side of her face exploded in pain.

Ron right as he let her go backhanded her across the face. The force of the blow sent her falling to the floor. Holding the side of her face that he hit, she looked up and saw him advancing on her. She had left her wand on her bed so she had no way to defend herself.

He picked her up again and she flinched as he raised his hand again. But the hit never came. She felt his hand leaving hers and she scrambled back. Ron shouted, a few girls screamed. Their little fight had gathered a small crowd.

She saw Neville holding Ron in a headlock and saw Harry repeatedly punch Ron in his face and stomach.

Neville was awoken by shouts from the common room. At first he though nothing of it but as the shouting got louder he got up. By now, the noise was beginning to wake the others. Neville heard Ron's shouts and scrambled over to Harry's bed. "There's trouble with Ron in the common room." Neville told him.

The two boys rushed down to the common room and the sight that met them made Harry's blood boil. Ron had just hit Hermione and was about to do it again. The two rushed down, Neville pulled Ron off Hermione putting him in a headlock, and Harry punched him in the face breaking Ron's nose. They heard the shouts of a few girls who came to see what the commotion was but Harry paid them no mind. All he wanted to do was kill the person he was punching.

Ginny and a few other girls from their year grabbed Hermione and sat her down in a chair. The other boys were trying to stop Harry from murdering Ron. "What happened Hermione?" She did not answer instead she turned her head and the girls saw the bruise on her face. "Go get McGonagall." Ginny told one of the girls. The boys had finally managed to pull Harry off Ron and dragged his beaten up body and laying it on a sofa by the fire. Harry came over to her and began asking her questions about what happened.

Walking back from McGonagall's office Hermione started crying. Harry wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close. "What's the matter Hermione?"

"It bothers me that I couldn't stop him, and if I can't stop him how am I going to be any help when we fight Voldemort."

"If it will help then I'll train you." Harry told his distressed girlfriend. She smile and nodded. "Good now let's go or were going to be late for class."

One Week Later.

Ron had been in the Hospital wing for over five days. Apparently, Harry had done quite a number on the boy. He had broken several bones and his nose, given him a concussion and four other injuries that Harry did not remember. Molly sent him a howler and when the twins visited they, left Ron covered in red welts that were oozing pus.

Ron stayed away from Harry, Neville and Hermione talking to no one ever since he came back. Ron didn't bother them again.

"Well Dobby has the air walker ready to go so I'm going now." Harry had worn his finest robes and was under the invisibility cloak ready to visit the goblins.

"Be careful Harry." Hermione told him. He nodded but she did not see it and je left. Moments later the Air walker Harry descended from the boy's dorm and they went down to breakfast.

A/N: Yay! Another chapter complete. Next chapter Harry will speak with goblins and start part one and two of his plan. Please review and tell me what you think.
