'Harry's Thoughts'

Chapter Three:

The next morning Harry and the rest of the boy's in the dorm woke up early. The dorm was filled with excited chatter as they all got ready for their trip to Hogsmeade. Harry pulled on his jacket, done dressing he headed toward the door of the dorm. "I'll be downstairs in the common room waiting" he called out to Ron and Neville who were still getting ready. Seamus and Dean had finish getting dress and followed after him.

"Ok, Harry see you down there" Ron called back to him.

Harry nodded his head and headed down with Dean and Seamus. When they stepped out into the common room, they saw that it wasn't very packed except for a few people sitting around the room, because most of their housemates have already left for Hogsmeade. Hermione and Ginny were already sitting in chairs close by the fireplace, walking over to them and taking a sit on the couch sitting opposite of the chairs they were in. "Good morning Harry" Ginny said smiling and batting her eyes at him. Harry resisted the urge to cringe at her.

He know that she wanted to get back together with him, but after the war he just didn't feel like it. The attraction he felt before wasn't there and he knew it never would be. He hadn't told anyone besides Ron and Neville, that he was gay. He figured it out over the summer last year, when one of the Dursley's next door neighbor's cousin came over to stay; at first it just started out just as talking, and then developed into a friendship that Harry cherished very much. It was the best summer that he had ever had, every time they talked and laughed he found himself growing very strong feelings for him. It was on the day before Daniel would leave to go back home, that it finally dawn on Harry that he might be gay. They were having their usual conversation about anything and everything, when Daniel had stop talking and took Harry by surprise by landing the most amazing kiss that he had ever had on him. The day that Daniel left was the one of the saddest days in his life. He had given Harry the best summer he had ever had in his life. Harry was glad to have known him, for he was the one to have teach Harry to enjoy life and not to live by anyone else rules; Daniel was the best thing to have ever happened to him.

"Good morning Ginny, Hermione" He replied. "You excited about the trip to Hogsmeade" he asked trying to make conversation to distract Ginny.

"Good morning, Harry, Seamus, Dean" she greeted. "Yea, I can't wait to find a nice new robe to replace the one that ripped" she said smiling. "Yea, and I figured I could do some shopping too while she look around" Ginny inputted.

"Well, Ron, Neville and I will probably go to the Qudditch shop after Honeyduck's. I'm also running a little low on ink so I'll probably get some more. How about you Seamus what are you and Dean going to do" He asked turning to look at them.

"Well, we were going to Honeyduck's first then, go look around Fred and George's joke shop" Dean answered. Harry nodded "Cool, what to grab drinks with us after" he asked.

"Sure, sounds good to me" Seamus said.

"Oh, about that Ginny and I won't be able to meet later for drinks" Hermione said. Harry frowned at that "Why?" he asked confused.

"Well, yesterday Mognall asked us to help her grade papers and we agreed" Hermione explained. Ginny huffed at this. "I didn't agree to nothing. You did and then volunteered me against my will" Ginny said testily. She didn't want to help McGonagall grade papers, she much rather spend time with Harry.

"Oh well sorry to hear about that" Harry said. At that moment Ron and Neville came downstairs from the dorm room. "You finally ready" he asked them as they came to join the group.

"Yep, let's get going. I have a craving for some candy, so let's go" Ron said as he headed towards the portrait hole. Neville and Harry shared a look, and shook their heads before following after him. The rest followed after them, and out the portrait hole. Soon they came to the front entrance hall of Hogwarts and Standing at the door was Professor McGonagall, who was looking over all the students who were going to Hogsmeade.

"Hello, Professor" Hermione greeted as they came up to her. McGonagall turned to look at their group "Hello, Miss. Granger. How are you doing this morning" she asked.

"Every well" she answered back and the rest nodded in agreement. "That's good. I hope you have a good time. Also I'll see you and Ginny after you get back, right?" she asked looked at Hermione and Ginny. Shifting slightly edgy "Yes Professor McGonagall. We'll be there." Hermione said and Ginny nodded in agreement.

"Good, well have a nice trip" she said and sent them on their way.

"What did she mean by, seeing you later. I thought ya'll were going to meet us at the three broomstick, after you go shopping" Ron asked confusedly.

"McGonagall asked us yesterday to help grade papers, while you were in the hospital wing." Hermione explained. Ginny cut in "I was unwillingly volunteered for the job" she said frustrated still upset about not be able to spend time with Harry. "I would have much rather spend my time doing something other than grading papers" she huffed.

Hermione rolled her eyes at her "You said that already, Ginny. Many times, get over it" she snapped at her.

Deciding to put a stop to the possible fight that will break out, as they passed through the gates of Hogwarts and into Hogsmeade. He stopped "So, we'll see you guys later and bring something for you from Honeyduck's" he said. Still glaring at Ginny, Hermione turned to him and smiled "Thanks, Harry. I would like that" she said.

Ginny nodded in agreement "Yea, thanks Harry. Bring me back a sugar quill and chocolate frog, please" she requested. Harry nodded at her "Ok, will do". At that they all spilt up and headed toward their own directions. Harry and the rest of the boy's went to Honeyduck's, when they arrived they also split up and Seamus and Dean headed towards the sour candy section while Harry, Neville, and Ron headed towards the Sugar quill's and lollipops section. Harry grabbed a five sugar quills, two for Ginny and three for him.

"What are you getting Ron" he asked as he looked over all the different candy selections.

Ron was looking over the lollipops, before answering him "I think will be getting some acid, bubblegum, and chocolate pops. Do you what some" he asked picking out the favors he had named off. Walking over to him and also looking over the choices, before he noticed that they had blood pops too. He frowned at the name "Hey, have you ever tried those blood pops before" he asked him pointing them out.

Ron looked at what he was pointing to and shook his head "No, I never did. I mean blood pops doesn't really sound to appetizing, does it?" he asked. Harry nodded in agreement. "Anyway, those are mostly for people who have creature blood in them. You know like vampires and dark elves" Ron explained.

Harry looked at him in shock "Really, Vampires come to Honeyduck's to buy blood pops" he never notice that before.

Ron shook his head and chuckled "Well, they don't come in everyday and all, but only if their passing through you know" he explained. At that time Neville joined them after going around to the other aisle to get a bag of Baggotts every flavor jelly beans. "Hey, Nev have you ever tried blood pops before" Ron asked as he walked over to them.

"Well, I haven't but I have a friend from Romania who is part dark elf and he eats them. He said they taste good" he answered. "Why" he asked.

"Well, I just wanted to know what it taste like that's all" Harry said.

Nodding at his explanation "They taste like blood, but there's different kinds. Mostly animal but different kinds, like lion and deer" he explained. "You know you could just try it for yourself" he said. Harry stared at him for a moment, then looked down at them and grabbed three. He handed one each to Ron and Neville who looked at him confusedly. "Well, if I try it then you should too" he said before pulling the wrapper of the pop and staring at it for a few minutes, before popping it into his mouth.

He couldn't resist the pleased moan that escaped him as the rich favor coated his mouth. Sucking on it for a few minutes, he pulled it out of his mouth and licked his lips. "So…how does it taste" Ron asked staring intensely at him. Harry thought for a moment on how to describe the taste to him, before give up and said "Delicious. It tastes really rich, an…and it's like heaven in my mouth" he answered. He looked down at the wrapper in his hand and read the flavor of the pop 'mountain lion' hum he thought 'Tastes pretty good', he looked back up at Ron and Neville and notice that they had finally tried their pops.

"Hum, you were right that taste so good" Ron said as he took a few more licks at his lollipop. Neville agreed as he too sucked on his lollipop. "I have wolf blood. What flavor do you have" he asked Harry and Neville.

"I have mountain lion" Harry answered.

"And I have deer" Neville replied.

"Ok, come on let's go. I have to go get some more ink then we have to meet Seamus and Dean for drinks" Harry said. He grabbed a handful and handed some to Ron and Neville, then they made their way to the cash register. Harry grabbed some chocolate frogs on the way up there, Harry put his candy up on the counter first and let the clerk check it out. "That will be 12 knuts and 3 sickles". He pulled out the amount and handed to him. Ron went next then Neville, soon they were leaving the store and heading down to the supply store to get some ink. It didn't take long, as he bought two bottles of black ink and another quill. Ron and Neville also decide to stock back up on some supplies and bought some ink and parchment.

"All right I think that's it" Harry said as they left the store. "I did want to stop by the qudditch shop and look around, but I don't think we have enough time for that" he said as he saw some of their school mates heading back to the school.

"Yeah, and we still need to talk to Snape" Neville reminded him.

Harry nodded "Yeah, ok so let's go meet Seamus and Dean then we'll head back" he said, and they all headed toward the three broomstick. As they went in they saw that Seamus and Dean were already there and had gotten a table. "You guys go ahead and I'll get the drink. Three butterbeer's right?" Ron asked. Harry and Neville nodded and walked over to where Seamus and Dean were seating and took a seat.

"Hey mates, how was your shopping" Dean asked as they sat down.

"Pretty good, got everything we needed" Harry answered back.

"Us too. We loaded up on candy and prank stuff from Fred and George's shop" Seamus said smiling. Neville shook his head at him "Now don't go getting caught and getting points taken away from our house" he told him. Seamus put on a shocked and offended look "I would never, Nev". Neville rolled his eyes "Yea, right".

Ron walked over to their table and sat down, handing Harry and Neville two of the butterbeer's in his hands. All five of them talked for a few more hours before, Harry stood up from the table "Well, it's time for us to go. We'll see you guys later in the dorm" he said as both Ron and Neville got up after him.

"Ok mates, see you later" Seamus called after them as they head for the door. Dean waved goodbye to them as they left. Harry, Ron, and Neville quickly made their way back towards the school. "So are you going down there by yourself, or do you want us to come with you" Ron asked pointing between himself and Neville. Harry shook his head "No, it would be easier if I go by myself. I'll tell how it went when I get back" he told him.

"Ok, see you when you get back" Ron and Neville left and headed toward Gryffindor tower. Harry watched as they left and sighed deeply before, turning and making his way down towards the dungeons. He was completely nervous about asking Snape to explain whatever is that Dumbledore wanted to keep from him and the others. 'What if Dumbledore sacred him into silence, and he won't tell me. He could just tell me to get lost' he thought anxiously. He kept thinking over the possible reactions of him coming to Snape and asking him this. He was so distracted that he didn't notice that he had arrived at Snape's classroom, taking a deep breath he raised his hand and knocked on the door. He waited a few minutes and no answer came, frowning he knocked again. Still no answer came, he frowned and pushed the door open; he looked around the inside the classroom and saw that Snape wasn't anywhere around. He sighing in frustration he walked farther into the room, he walked over to Snape's desk and saw that his outer robe was thrown over the back of his chair. 'So he is here. He must be in his back Office' he thought and headed towards the dark oak wood door behind his desk.

He lifted his hand getting ready to knock, before the soft muffled sound of voices coming from behind the door reached his ears. A wave of fear went through him 'Maybe Dumbledore came back to enforce, how serious he was on Snape not reveling the secret to us' he thought. Carefully he put his ear to the door and listened.

"I can't believe that Old fool, dared to threaten you. Who does he think he is" Harry heard a familiar male voice say. Harry's eyes widen at how the man described Dumbledore 'I don't think I have ever heard anyone talk bad about Dumbledore before' he thought. He continued to listen in on the conversation.

"Yea, but he did. He made it very clear that he didn't want his little secret out. His Albus Dumbledore… he can do whatever he wants" said the voice whom harry assumed was Snape's

"I don't care who he is. He has no right to dictate those boy's lives. He just can't tell them about this it has so much to do with them" the familiar voice said.

"I know that Remus and You know that, but Albus doesn't. He thinks he has a right to control everyone's lives for the greater good. And if that means not telling those boy's about something as big as them having creature blood in them, then so be it cause it's for the damn bloody Greater Good" Snape yelled. Harry gasped lightly as he heard Snape say Remus's name, 'What were Snape and Remus doing having a conversation with each other. Didn't they hate each other.' Then it dawned on him what Snape just said 'Creature blood. So that's what he didn't want us to know, but what kind of creature has the markings that I saw on me and the others.'

He continued to listen to them. He heard who he assumed was Remus walk over to Snape "You're to stressed. Why don't I give you a massage, how's that sound" he asked his voice taking on a husky tone to it. Harry's mouth drop open at that 'Oh Merlin, Snape and Remus are getting it on' he thought. He couldn't believe this he always thought they hated each other, when did it all change. He was farther shocked when he heard Snape's reply.

"Oh, Remus that sounds nice." Eyes widen at that, Harry backed away from the door. He definitely wasn't going to listen in on that. He turned and headed back towards the door, before he paused again 'But I need for him to tell me more about this creature blood' he thought. He furrowed his brow in thought, before an idea came to him 'Sorry Remy, but you're going to have to wait on getting some' he thought as he continued to the door.

When he reached it and opened it quietly, he knocked loudly on the door before calling out in a loud voice "Professor Snape, Are you in here". He waited for a few minutes, he could faintly hear cursing coming from the direction of Snape's Office. The door was thrown open and Snape stormed out, Harry had to resist the urge to gasp as he saw his Professor's state of dress. His shirt was wrinkled and looked like it was hastily button up cause he missed one of the holes.

"Potter? What are you doing here" he asked in a confused and slightly frustrated tone. Quickly shaking himself of the shock at seeing his Professor like this, he answered back.

"I wanted to ask you about what you and Dumbledore were talking about in the infirmary" he said deciding to be direct in his approach of the situation. He knew he had shocked him, from the way his eyes widen.

"Wha…What are you talking about" Snape stuttered out.

Sighing, then taking a deep breath he replied "I woke up before the others did and I show those marking on us. Then you and Dumbledore walked in and I heard what you were talking about" he paused for a moment then continued. "Look…I know Dumbledore forbid you from telling us about whatever it is, but I would really appreciate it if you told me and the others. It's important cause it concerns us and our lives, so please tell us what it is" he pleaded with Snape.

Snape stared at him for a long time, before looking away and sigh. He rubbed a hand down his face and let out a groan "Ok potter. I'll tell you, but you have to make sure no one else knows that I'm telling you. I don't want Dumbledore finding out that I told you" he said.

Harry nodded his head at his conditions "Of course. So when can you tell us, I can get Ron and Neville down here" he paused "But I'm not sure I can get Malfoy and the others" he told him. Snape shook his head "Don't worry about Malfoy and the others I can get them to come. You just get Weasley and Longbottom" he said.

"Come back down her after dinner tonight. Make sure no one sees you, I don't need anybody sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong" he said. He turned from Harry and headed back towards his Office, Harry doesn't know what came over him but he just couldn't resist calling out to him.

"Tell Remus I said Hi" he said before high tailing it out of there. As he made his way down the corridor back to the main parts of Hogwarts, he heard the distinct sound of Snape yelling Potter. He laughed as he made his way back up to the tower. 'Wait until Ron and Neville hears about this, they'll never believe it'

Well that the end of chapter three. So what did you think, review and tell me. I think I might reedit it what do you think, just certain parts maybe. And before I get any reviews asking why Harry, Ron, and Neville seem so close; I wanted to make a bond between all three of them, because they have a lot in common. Later on in the story this bond will grow and will include Draco, Blaise, and Theo.
