Authors note: Oops. As I was working on chapter six I discovered that I had forgotten to put in some information so here is that information.

McGonagall informed Dumbledore about catching Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle on the third floor after hours. Dumbledore felt that since McGonagall took the note seriously enough to check it out that she should be the one to give out the punishment aside from the house pints taken away. The detentions given were: Draco had to scrub the bedpans, Crabbe and Goyle had to clean out the Owlery.

Crabbe and Goyle got started on their detentions as soon as they could. It was a nasty job.

Draco put off doing his detention for as long as he could. McGonagall had to have someone get Draco from his common room and escort him to the hospital wing to scrub out the bedpans. The whole time he was grumbling to himself about Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Half way through the task an evil grin spread across his face as he remembered the conversation he had with Marcus Flint (a 5th year) and another fellow Slytherin who was a 6th year, Draco still could not remember the boy's name.

'Draco had managed to give Crabbe and Goyle the slip so he could find a couple of fellow Slytherin's for some help with Potter. He finally came across Marcus Flint and another fellow Slytherin. Draco approached the two boys.

"Marcus Flint, right?"

"Yes. What do you want?"

"I was wondering if I could get your help on a matter at hand."

"Why should I?"

"Would you at least listen to what have to say and then make a decision?" Draco asked nicely.

"Okay, I'll hear you out, Malfoy."

"First of all, Potter was supposed to meet me there. He didn't show! Got scared I am sure since he only had a Weasley to back him up so he ratted us out. I want to get him back but need help. I can't have any attention on me since I am already in trouble. I need to lay low for a while. Can you help me? I only ask because you have more privileges than I do at this time."

"Okay, Draco. I'll help you out. Anything to take down Potter."

Draco was very pleased. He asked the other Slytherin if he would like to help. The other boy said that he would gladly help out.

Note: Here is chapter seven, picking up where I left off in chapter six. Enjoy. Review let me know what you think.

Harry was waiting in the common room for Fred, George, Ron and Hermione. Harry sat down on the couch for a while, then in chair and ended up settling for pacing back and forth. He began to think that no one was going to show up when Fred and George came through the portrait hole.

"Okay, Harry what's going on?" Asked George.

"Well, I'm sure you two know about the confrontation with Malfoy. Here's the thing, I never intended on meeting Malfoy. I just had a feeling that it was a trick. I did not want to get in trouble again. I could not take the chance on getting caught out of bed after hours and have all of Gryffindor pay the price. I sent a note to McGonagall, Snape and Dumbledore that there would be students in a certain place at a certain time. I used a handwriting-changing spell and used three owls from the owlery to deliver them. Evidently they got caught and Malfoy is out for revenge. I just know that Malfoy will not just leave it at spreading lies."

"Wicked." The twins said.

"Harry you have to tell us…."Fred began.

"Show us that spell." George interrupted.

"Okay." And Harry wrote done the spell on a piece of parchment and handed it too the twins.

Ron walked through the portrait hole.

"Harry, what are they doing here?"

"I asked them to meet me here. Oh, and Ron I told them. And I think they're going to help."

"Of course we're going to help." Said George

"Anything to make Slytherin suffer." Fred added

"And what exactly do you have in mind?" Hermione asked, "Whatever it is better not cost us house points!"

"It looks like we will be doing this another time." Ron said irritated.

"Uh…no Ron….I asked her to be here."

"Harry, have you lost your mind?"

Hermione wanted to hit Ron but instead glared at him.

"No, Ron I have not lost my mind. The both of you are going to have to deal with each other. I need both of you and your help."

Run grunted a mediocre agreement.

Hermione was beaming. She really felt included now and could say that she had at lest one friend. Hermione was going to do her best not be quite so bossy. Even though Ron always pissed her off with his mean words, maybe it was just the way he reacted to her being bossy. The more friends the better! Besides this is Harry's moment, he is the one putting this together so he gets to boss every one around.

"Oh shoot! Lunch is about over guys." Hermione informed them.

"Oi, your right. We'll have to work on this another time. Until then, we need to try to figure out what Malfoy is up to and try to see if we can defend ourselves against what ever it is." Harry said as they left the common room.

* * * * * * *

Later that night, Harry, Ron, Fred, George and Hermione were at the table with their books, parchment, quill's and inkbottles out. They weren't studying, well at least not school stuff, they were unable to find out what Draco could possibly have up his sleeve. It was difficult trying to plan for the unknown but all they could come up with so far was to not give an opportunity for Draco to do anything. The five of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they did not hear anyone enter the common room.

"What is going on in here?" Demanded Percy.

"What do you think is going on in here, Percy? Can't you see that our school things are out?" Ron replied with attitude.

"Watch it Ron."

"Percy calm down." Fred and George said.

"What is going on?" Percy asked again.

"Studying" offered Harry.

"Put your things a way, it's late and it's lights out." Percy ordered them.

As to not tick off Percy any more than he already was and so that he wouldn't do anything more than yell at them to go to bed, they packed up their stuff and went up to bed. Harry had quietly told the four of them that he would figure out something so that they could work at it more and not be interrupted.

* * * * * * *

Two Weeks Later

Nothing had happened the past two weeks. Harry wasn't fooled one bit; he knew Draco would be doing something and soon. Harry had to so something and knew it was Draco and he was arrogant and thought way too highly of himself. Harry let the other four know that they were to meet him in the common room during dinner.

Fred, George, Hermione, Harry and Ron had gone over all five's class schedule's to see what they can do to try keep it down to a minimum availability and opportunity for Draco to do something. They didn't have a lot of time to figure it out so they went with the basic, for now while working on something better. With how their schedules are, Fred and George would rarely be around but they were going to do their best to help. Fred and George suggested maybe including some higher year Gryffindor's to help. Harry really didn't want too many people to know what they were doing.

When George and Fred weren't around, Ron Hermione and Harry would be together, alert and looking for just about anything. Harry knew that Draco's targets were himself and Ron, mostly himself. On the few occasions that it was only Harry and Ron going to class they were that much more alert and as ready as they could be.

* * * * * * *

Draco paced in the Slytherin common room. He was waiting for Marcus and the other Slytherin. It had been two weeks and nothing had or was happening. This made Draco furious. He knew that he had to calm down, if he went off them, they probably would tell him to piss off and to do it himself. Draco kept pacing the common room floor, when he heard footsteps and voices he stopped pacing and sat down on the couch trying to look relaxed. Draco then looked over to where the footsteps and talking had come from and saw Marcus Flint and other boy. He jumped up, walked over to them,

"So what's going on? From what I can tell nothing has happened or been done to Harry and the Weasley kid. What have you two been doing?"

"Cool it Draco. We are working on it. Since agreeing to help you we have noticed that those two have been hanging around the Wesley twins and that Granger girl. We do have their patterns down though, what routes they take who is there and who isn't. We must be careful not to get caught and well do you want us to just go after Harry and the little Weasley or…?"

"It doesn't matter who is around, Harry must pay for what he did to me. I could care less about the whole lot of Weasleys and who cares about that Mudblood Granger anyway. She shouldn't even be allowed to go to this school."

"Okay, it's settled then. We will start immediately. Oh, Draco we won't be telling you what we are doing. The less that know the better and the greater the chance of not getting caught, but not to worry I am sure that you will know or at least find out what has happened to them." Marcus and the other boy then left the common room. Leaving Draco there with a sadistic grin on his face, and the look of victory, Harry and his friends won't know what hit them.

* * * * * * *

Over the next week at different times a jinx, a hex, a minor stunning spell or a non-serious curse would hit all five Gryffindor's. Harry, Ron Hermione, Fred and George met in their common room during lunch. As they had lunch they talked about what had been happening. Their plan that they had been following was not working. They had hoped that it would deter the person or people.

"How can we protect and defend ourselves?" Asked Ron.

"Don't know. We don't even know what is coming at us. What we keep getting hit with changes from day to day, no pattern or repeating some of it." Harry said.

"If only we had some forewarning so we could not get hit with anything. What I don't understand is how are they able to cast anything without saying something. We never hear anything before one of us gets hit." Ron thought out loud.

"Well, either they're too far away for us to hear, which I doubt. Or they are able to cast spells and such non-verbally. Hold on, Ron why do you say 'they'?" Hermione said.

"Well, it's not actually Malfoy himself. He's a first year; I don't think that he would be able to know some of the jinxes, hexes, minor spells and non-serious curses. If far enough away to cast and not be heard by the target, well Draco is not a strong enough wizard to pull that off. If it's non-verbal casting, I don't see that being possible as non of us have even begun to learn how to do it yet."

The other four just looked at Ron. Fred and George were shocked but yet in awe of their brother and his insight on why Draco was not actually doing this himself.

"Ron that makes sense and I agree with that." Fred, George and Harry all said.

"Ron wow! I am surprised, you have really given this some thought." Hermione complimented Ron, but when on to say, "You're smart, why not apply some of that to your studies?" She was not able to stop herself from saying it. She just hoped that she said it nicely and not in a mean way.

Harry noticed the time and alerted the others to it and they all dashed out of the portrait hole and to their classes. Since they were running late they made it without getting jinxed, hexed, stunned or cursed, and were not late to their classes.

* * * * * * *

That night Ron and Harry were late leaving the common room to go to the dining hall for diner when they heard a noise. Curiosity got the better of the two and they went to see what or who made the noise. They found themselves on the fifth floor; they looked around and saw no one around. They turned to leave when something hit a suit of armor and it came tumbling down as well as a thick piece of wood that was hurling towards Ron's head. Harry pushed Ron out of the way and puts his arms up to protect his head when the piece of wood hit his left arm. Harry heard a cracking sound and was thrown a few feet backwards. Ron jumped up and quickly went over to where Harry had landed.

"Harry, you okay?"

"I'm fine Ron, though I think my arm is broken. Help me up."

Ron helped Harry get up on his feet and they went down to the hospital wing to see Madam Pomfrey.

Madam Pomfrey heard footsteps in the hospital. No one should be walking in at this time of night; everyone should be in the dining hall for dinner. She got up to check it out, and found Ron Weasley and Harry Potter. After looking at them for a moment she realized that Harry had a broken arm.

"Oh dear me. What happened? You can answer that later, first of all let me fix that arm for you."

Madam Pomfrey fixed Harry's arm and then looked at both boys. "You two stay here. I'll be right back." And she stepped out of the room.

* * * * * * *

Madam Pomfrey had Filtch deliver a note for her to Dumbledore in the dining hall. After a few minutes Dumbledore arrived in the hall in front of the hospital wing.

"Poppy, what is it that had you want to meet me right a way?"

"Sir, two students came in and one had a broken arm. Now this is not the first time that I have seen these two, but there have been three others. They had been jinxed, hexed, stunned or cursed non-seriously. But I have had it, there is something going on and I can't seem to get any of them to talk."

"Who are the two that are inside?"

"Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter. Mr. Potter had the broken arm."

Albus went and got Minerva from the dining hall. Once they got back to the hospital wing they opened the door and walked in.

* * * * * * *

Harry and Ron look toward the door of the hospital wing and saw McGonagall and Dumbledore. Ron was scared, and did not want to say a thing. To ensure that he didn't, he kept his gaze on the floor or on Harry. Harry was trying to figure out what to say. Obviously Madam Pomfrey had alerted McGonagall and Dumbledore.

"How did this happen?" Asked a worried and concerned McGonagall.

"Ron and I were on our way to the dining hall when we heard a noise. We went to check it out and ended up on the fifth floor. We looked around and didn't see anyone, so we turned around to go to the dining hall when something hit a suit of armor and it tumbled on down. A thick piece of wood was headed for Ron's head, so I pushed him out of the way and put my arms up to shield my face. It was all I could think to do at the time, it all happened so fast." Harry said. He figured he might as well tell every thing knowing that Pomfrey must have said something to them.

"And you saw no one?"

"We didn't see any one Professor McGonagall." Harry answered.

"How long as has this been going on exactly Harry?" Asked Dumbledore

Harry explained that it all started about three weeks ago. He also told them that Fred, George and Hermione have been victim to the jinxes, hexes, spells and curses.

"Do you have idea as to who is doing this? And why didn't any of you come forward?" Asked McGonagall.

"I do not know who is doing this, but I have a suspicion as to who is behind it. I don't want anyone thinking that I am accusing some one. I have no proof either way so why say anything. At first I though it was just a coincidence to be honest. Without proof what could I really say about it?" Harry replied.

"You two may go. Be sure to get a bite to eat. Minerva, would you please kindly escort Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter to the dining hall. And I want to speak with all the heads of house and the teachers tonight in my office."

* * * * * * *

As Harry and Ron walked into the dining hall with Professor McGonagall quiet talking erupted, most thought that the two of them had been in trouble and more was to come. They quickly took their seats at the table. McGonagall walked up to the high table and let them know that they were wanted in Dumbledore's office right after dinner. She then left to notify the other teachers that were not there at dinner.

"Harry, Ron you two didn't get into trouble and cause house points to be taken away did you?" Hermione quietly but sternly asked.

"No. No one is in trouble and no points will be taken away from any one." Harry quickly told Hermione.

"What happened?" Asked Fred.

"Where were you two?" Asked George

"And why was McGonagall escorting the two of you into the dining hall?" Asked Hermione.

"Ron and I were headed here when we heard a noise…."Harry began

"Don't tell me you two went to go see what it was?" Hermione asked

"We did. Hermione please let me finish. So, we went to see what was going on. We found ourselves on the fifth floor. When we didn't see anything we turned around and something hit a suit of armor and it came tumbling down. A thick piece of wood was hurling toward Ron's head. I pushed him out of the way, used my arms to block my head when the wood hit me. I flew back a few a feet and my left arm was broken. Madam Pomfrey fixed my arm and alerted Dumbledore and McGonagall of the injury, obviously with all of us going to the hospital wing has had Pomfrey wondering and concerned. When Dumbledore and McGonagall asked me what had happened, if we saw anyone, how long it had been going on I had to tell them the truth. But no I did not say anything about Malfoy being behind it. I have no proof! Can't exactly say anything about that now can I?"

"Any thing else?" Asked Hermione.

"Oh yeah, Dumbledore wants to see all heads of house and teachers in his office tonight."

"Dumbledore wants to talk to all the teachers and heads of house, tonight!" Exclaimed Hermione.

"Yes. I heard him say it and so did Ron. Now there will be quite a few looking out for us, and yes when I say 'us' I mean the five of us." Harry replied.
