Professor McGonagall took Harry and Draco and left them in her office.
"We are sooo in trouble! NO! Father will kill me if he finds out that I was expelled from Hogwarts. But of course, he will probably bribe them to let them keep me, but you, I'm not so sure." Draco said, sneering at him.
"I'm sure that we're not in trouble. Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I am a genius after all." Harry said, smirking.
"So that's what happened. Severus, I hope you will take Mr. Malfoy's consequences into your own hands." Professor McGonagall said as she walked back into her office with Snape.
"Draco, come with me." Snape said snidely as Draco got up and followed him out the door.
"Follow me, Potter." Professor McGonagall said, leading him to Professor Flitwick's room. Harry smiled.
"Excuse me, Professor Flitwick, could I borrow Wood for a moment?" She asked.
Harry grinned widely. Everything had gone according to plan. He was going to be on the Quidditch team, and hopefully, Draco would too, and maybe change into a better person…
Wood came out, looking exactly as Harry had remembered him.
"Follow me, you two." Professor McGonagall said primly, and they walked into a classroom which was empty, other then Peeves.
"Out, Peeves!" She demanded and Peeves swooped out of the classroom, cursing.
"Potter, this is Oliver Wood. Wood – I've found you a Seeker." Professor McGonagall said, with a slight smile on her face.
"Are you serious, Professor?" Oliver asked, bewildered.
"Absolutely. The boy's a natural. I've never seen anything like it. Was that your first time on a broomstick, Potter?" Professor McGonagall asked crisply.
"Yes, Professor." Harry said, smiling with happiness inside.
"He caught the Remembrall in his hand after a fifty-foot dive. Didn't even scratch himself. Charlie Weasley couldn't have done it." Professor McGonagall said proudly.
Wood was beaming.
"Ev-" Wood began.
"However, there is a… bad side of this. The Slytherin team has also found a new Seeker for their team. Draco Malfoy. If we allow Potter to be on our team, they will have to be allowed to have Malfoy on their team." Professor McGonagall said.
"YES!" Harry said aloud accidentally.
Both Wood and Professor McGonagall looked at him strangely.
"Oh, I just remembered something." Harry said quickly.
"Potter, Wood is the captain of the Gryffindor team. He will teach you all you have to know to be on the team." Professor McGonagall said. "I shall speak to Professor Dumbledore and see if we can't bend the first year rule. Heaven knows, we need a better team than last year. Flattened in that last match by Slytherin, couldn't look Severus Snape in the face for weeks…"
"He's just the build for a Seeker, too. Light – speedy – we'll have to get him a decent broom, Professor – a Nimbus Two Thousand or a Cleansweep Seven, I'd say." Oliver said, talking to Professor McGonagall as if Harry wasn't there.
"Yes, yes." Professor McGonagall said.
"I want to hear you're training hard, Potter, or I may change my mind about punishing you." She said suddenly. "Your father would have been proud. He was an excellent Quidditch player himself." She said, smiling.
"I know." Harry said.
"Guess what, Potter? I've been made Seeker of the Slytherin team. And you've been expelled, I'm guessing?" Draco said, sneering as he walked up to them, walking to the Great Hall for dinner.
"Nope. I've been made Seeker as well, for the Gryffindor team. You're welcome." Harry said, grinning.
"Wait, you knew this was going to happen?" Draco asked, bewildered, not paying attention to what Harry had said before that.
"Yeah, of course I did. I'm a genius after all." Harry said.
"Wait, Harry, you made the Quidditch team? And you didn't tell me?" Ron asked, bewildered.
"Well, yeah. I only tell awesome people." Harry said, sarcastically.
"Wait, that's indirectly saying that Malfoy is awesome, you know." Ron said, shocked.
"How did you know? Ron, it's called sarcasm." Harry said with Draco laughing silently.
"I'm touched that you think I'm awesome, Potter." Draco said with mock honour.
"I'm starting practice next week. How about you, Draco?" Harry said, putting emphasis on his first name.
"Me? I'm starting this week! We are so going to beat you when we verse you!" Draco said.
"No, the Gryffindor team is way better now that Harry's on it." Ron said defensively.
"Well obviously, Ron. I make everything awesome." Harry said.
"Modest much?" Draco asked, smirking.
"Hm… let me think about it… well… I don't think so…" Harry said pretending to think.
"You know, we're the youngest house players in almost a century." Draco said.
"Yup, I know. Wood told me." Harry said.
"Okay, I've got to go, bye for now!" Draco said, too cheerfully to be Draco.
Wow… Draco is really different now that he considers me… as not his enemy. He's actually a decent person. It's fun to talk to him. Harry thought.
Hedwig flew down with a letter in his beak.
"Hedwig… I've missed you." Harry said aloud, stroking his feathers.
Harry took the letter out of his beak, and unrolled it.
This is what it said:
Dear Harry,
Please meet me in my office for some urgent business on this Tuesday 8:00 PM sharp.
Do not tell anyone where you are going.
Professor Dumbledore
Of all times… He had Quidditch practice then!
Harry had spoken to Oliver to postpone his first Quidditch Practice until later. And now… the awaited day had finally come.
Harry stood awkwardly at the Headmaster's Office front door.
"Hey kid, what do you want from us?" The griffins that stood there asked.
"Oh, my name is Harry Potter… Um… Did Professor Dumbledore tell you to let me in?" Harry asked them.
"Oh yeah… Go on in then!" They said, and Harry went passed them and opened the door.
Harry fiddled with his fingers nervously as he knocked on the other door to Professor Dumbledore's office.
"Come in." Professor Dumbledore said.
Harry stepped in, and out of nowhere, Sirius appeared, pulling off the cloak of Invisibility.
"Good, it's you." Sirius said, outstretching his arms for a hug.
Harry didn't care if he was 36. He was seeing his long lost godfather who he had thought was dead in… so many years. Harry raced to Sirius and hugged him tightly.
Sirius grinned. "It's been a while since I've seen you."
"Yeah, it sure has been." Harry said softly. "How are you even here?"
"Long story…" Sirius said.
"Now let's get back to business. We need to plan on destroying the Horcruxes. Tell us what the Horcruxes are, and what we can use to destroy them." Sirius said, seriously. (A/N: Aw… I really should have used the really famous pun for that… Sirius said, siriusly. :P)
"Aw… surely you can't be serious." Harry said grinning.
"I am Sirius, and don't call me Shirley!" Sirius said, grinning back.
"Okay, we really need to do this." Professor Dumbledore said, smiling at the pun.
"Okay then. So, the Horcruxes are… Marvolo Gaunt's ring, Tom Riddle, AKA Voldemort's diary, Salazar Slytherin's locket, Helga Hufflepuff's cup, Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem, Nagini as in Voldemort's snake and… me." Harry said.
"Continue." Professor Dumbledore said.
"Okay, you can destroy a Horcrux by Fiendfyre, Basilisk venom, and… I guess also the killing curse, because that's how the Horcrux in me was destroyed. I died. But Voldemort has to kill me." Harry explained.
"You died?" Sirius asked, surprised.
"Well… yeah." Harry said.
"Where are they, Harry?" Professor Dumbledore asked.
"Okay, so Marvolo Gaunt's ring is under the floorboards at the Gaunt's shack. Riddle's diary is at Malfoy Manor. Lucius Malfoy is going to slip it to Ginny, Ginny Weasley next year. The locket is in this cave, Professor Dumbledore knows where it is. The cup is in Bellatrix Lestrange's Gringott's vault-" Harry said.
"Wow, how did you break into there?" Sirius asked, shocked.
"Polyjuice potion, a goblin, the cloak of Invisibility and Imperio. Anyway, the diadem is in the Room of Requirements, Nagini the Snake… is wherever Voldemort is, and I'm right here." Harry finished.
"Okay… so we've got that information… so… which one should we go after first? And… what's our plan?" Sirius asked.
"Well, Sirius, could you learn Fiendfyre? I know it already, but it'd be useful if you knew it as well. And… Professor Dumbledore can get the ring easily, I know that, so we'll do that first. Is that okay with you, professor?" Harry asked Professor Dumbledore.
"Certainly." Professor Dumbledore said.
"Oh… and… the Philosopher's Stone… I'm going to have to go down there…" Harry said.
"Yes, we can not change what will happen too much…" Professor Dumbledore said.
"I don't understand that part very well… why ever not? It will be better… and isn't me meeting Sirius changing a lot of history?" Harry asked.
"Now that, is a story for another time. Why don't you go off now and sleep?" Professor Dumbledore said mysteriously.
Harry said good bye to both of them while wondering, why is Professor Dumbledore acting so strangely? Is he… can he possibly be evil?
But he could feel a big headache coming so he immediately stopped worrying himself over something that he couldn't find out.
