Returning to the Burrow, following the aftermath of the fight between SCP-1853, SCP-106 and the SCP-001 instances that showed up, was completely out of the question for the Weasley's, Harry and Sirius. They had no choice but to spend the rest of the Christmas Holidays at Grimmauld Place, the Burrow itself had suffered serious structural damage and likely would take a while before it was safe to live in again due to the fighting that had took place.
The residual radiation that was given off by the 'annihilating' nature of SCP-1853's new weapon was one of the main hazards, as well as severe environmental damage as well as the Burrow having recieved severe damage to its structure.
SCP-106 had been declared neutralised, something that pleased the foundation a fair bit, SCP-106 had been a tricky anomaly to contain and despite not being able to research it, it was better that it was destroyed rather than allowing it to be controlled by Lord Voldemort.
The rest of the Christmas holidays were still somewhat fun in Harry's mind, considering they had just been attacked a few days ago by a very dangerous and hostile Keter class anomaly whilst at the Burrow.
Due to the nature of Grimmauld Place, and it not being known to many, the SCP foundation had moved the security team and stationed them at Hogwarts for the foreseeable future, it made sense to have a further increased security detail at Hogwarts.
Once back on the Hogwarts express, Harry, Ginny and Ron found a compartment for themselves whilst they waited for Hermione, Neville and Luna to join them.
When Hermione found them, she was immediately badgering them with Questions.
"What Happened at the Burrow?!" Hermione asked worriedly as she sat down next to Ron.
"We were attacked by some anomalies after Christmas had passed." Explained Ron.
"But you have protections around the Burrow, right?" Asked Hermione.
"Yes we do but I think Bill said we would need some more once we are allowed to return back to the Burrow, the Foundation have offered for us to stay in protective custody at one of their facilities but Mum wanted us to stay somewhere familiar in all this." Said Ginny.
"We all had to be evacuated during the attack, SCP-1853 showed up for a bit and it looks like he's got a new weapon." Said Harry.
Hermione raised an eyebrow and Harry explained that it seemed SCP-1853 was now using a brightly glowing blade.
"It seemed to just make things didssapear when it struck them." Ssid Harry.
"I've heard about such things in muggle science," said Hermione. "There are things that can completely annihilate matter that exists into nothingness."
Neville and Luna entered the compartment during Hermione's somewhat dumbed down explanation of Anti-matter, they had similar questions about the Weasley's and Harry's well being but were thankful that none of them were hurt.
Eventually the train arrived at Hogwarts and made their way to the great hall for the welcoming feast, once again they were subjected to a search by foundation security which lasted about fifteen minutes, every student was searched but no one was detained for any suspicious items.
"Feels more and more like a prison at times." Said Harry quietly to Ginny as he snaked an arm around her waist.
"I know what you mean." Said Ginny. "We've had this for a few months and we still aren't used to it."
The welcoming feast was held for the students who had returned, which consisted of most of the students as many wanted to go home for the holidays, it was still as boisterous as ever and Harry found he enjoyed it as well.
He noticed that Draco Malfoy wasn't at the Slytherin table, something he pointed out to Ginny.
"Strange of him to not be there," commented Ginny. "He wasn't even on the train, but he may not have gone home for Christmas."
"He's been avoiding everyone it seems like," commented Ron. "Not that I'm complaining but he won't even antagonise other students."
As the feast ended, and the five Gryffindors were later joined by Luna, they were stopped by Slughorn.
"Could I speak with you a moment Mr. Potter?" Asked their potions professor.
"We'll see you later Harry." Said Ginny as his girlfriend went with Ron, Hermione and Neville to the Gryffindor common room whilst Luna broke off form their group to head back to her own common room.
"What is it you want Professor?" Asked Harry.
"Well I was hoping that I could run a sort of ball up in my office since everyone was away for Christmas and I wanted to invite you, Miss Granger, and Miss Weasley. I do love to invite some of my ex students as well." Said Professor Slughorn.
Harry thought for a moment, the memory that Slughorn may have on Voldemort's horcruxes could still be valuable. However they did know that Voldemort had made some Horcruxes and that a few were already gone, the positives were that a fancy dress ball would involve Ginny being in some absolutely amazing and sexy attire, which was always a huge bonus.
"Sure, I'd love to come." Said Harry.
"Very good, I'll send a note later when I have the date and time." Said Slughorn as he bid Harry goodnight.
When Harry made his way back into the common room, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Ron were waiting for him at their usual spot by the fireplace.
"What did Professor Slughorn want?" Asked Ron as Harry sat himself down next to Ginny.
"He wants us all to go to this party of his he is having with the slug club and I assume some ex students." Said Harry.
"Sounds like fun." Commented Neville.
"I think it would be best if we go since I am supposed to be getting information on Tom Riddles history through him." Harry whispered.
"Well if we are all invited, we might as well go." Said Ginny.
Eventually they all headed up to bed, getting a good night's rest.
*
Draco had never felt so alone throughout his life since he started Hogwarts, yes Crabbe and Goyle were always with him like bodyguards, but with how he had distanced himself from them he now realised he never truly had anyone who could help him.
Since taking the dark mark and being informed of his task, Draco had felt a sense of pure dread on his task, as much as he despised muggles and muggleborns and wanted to show those filthy blood-traitors where there loyalties should lie, he didn't want to start sending a bunch of death eaters to murder children.
And some of the horrific ways Voldemort had described how he could had made him vomit his own guts up, anomalies that could torture, ones that focused specifically on children and would bash them into piles of sweets.
He focused on conjuring the room of requirement, making sure that no Foundation operatives saw him. He entered the room of requirement and made his way too the vanishing cabinet.
The plan was ingenious, which didn't surprise Draco since it was Lord Voldemort who had come up with such a plan. There was another vanishing cabinet within Borgin and burkes shop in Knockturn Alley.
The dark lord believed that if they could repair the vanishing cabinets counterpart in Hogwarts, that they could enter the castle undetected and strike with the anomalies that the death eaters had captured.
Making his way into the Room of Requirement he traced his steps to where the vanishing cabinet was located, there were all sorts of items stacked in large piles, almost hill like structures that Draco had to make his way through to reach the vanishing cabinet.
He found the cabinet and opened the doors, it was a simple empty space with a wooden slab that someone could stand on, Draco took out an applied he had and bit into it, he then placed it inside and closed the doors.
When he reopened it a moment later, the apple was gone.
"So can the apple return back?" Said Draco to no one but himself as he felt his dark mark flare up. He hissed slightly before it dissipated.
He opened the door to the cabinet and found that there was nothing there. The cabinet was a one way system at the moment Draco guessed, he could send items but not receive any through the cabinet.
This was something that would take time, he made his way back to the entrance, being gone for too long would arouse unwanted suspicion.
*
Harry began finding himself absentmindedly studying the marauders map on several evenings, he hadn't forgot the looks Draco had given him and he felt that he would follow in his father's footsteps as a death eater.
Ginny had been woken up one night when she snuck into his dorm room, it was six in the morning when he had used the lumos charm along with some privacy wards, his eyes staring at Draco's name as it moved through the seventh floor.
"You still watching him?" Asked Ginny.
"I know that Malfoy is up to something." Said Harry, not taking his eyes off the map.
Even Ginny was beginning to get a bit frustrated with Harry's antics, he was up a fair it of the night trying to find out what Malfoy was doing, though she was surprised that none of the patrol guards had caught him out of the Slytherin common room after curfew.
Ginny snatched the map out of Harry's grip, Harry flicked his head round so fast that Ginny swore Harry would have a bout of whiplash.
"Give it back." Said Harry sharply.
"Well that's no way to talk to me, considering you are keeping me up at night with this," Said Ginny, motioning to the map. "It is clear that whatever Malfoy is doing, you wont be able to find through the map, so give it a rest and get some sleep."
She put the map in the draw and turned away from Harry as she tried getting some sleep, Harry felt somewhat hurt but also felt guilt that he had pissed Ginny off.
He spoke with Sirius on the mirror during his lunch break in a quiet corner of the library.
"I'm not sure what to say Harry," began Sirius. "It's obvious he's working for Voldemort but there are certain areas of Hogwarts that may not be visible on the map."
Harry furrowed his brow at that and Sirius shrugged. "I think you should at least apologise to Ginny, she is clearly a bit annoyed at your antics."
"I guess I should." Said Harry, sighing in defeat.
"Listen pup," began Sirius. "I know it's not great but I think you need to leave things be, if Draco is up to something, the foundation guards will find out soon enough and they'll deal with him."
Harry knew Sirius was right and he was resolved to apologise to Ginny after her lesson, especially since it was potions.
He waited outside the class for her and she gave him a small smile and a peck on the cheek as he walked with her.
"I'm sorry about last night." Said Harry, his emerald green eyes meeting her own choclatey brown eyes.
"You shouldn't keep yourself up at night deliberately thinking it will solve everything, you can't do everything yourself now matter how much you try." Said Ginny thoughtfully as she pulled Harry to oneside.
"I just have a feeling that whatever he's doing we have to stop." Said Harry.
Did you talk with Sirius about it?" Asked Ginny.
"Yeah and he said that same areas of Hogwarts don't show up on the map which is where Draco could be dissapearing off to." Said Harry.
Ginny seemed to be deep in thought, somewhere in the castle that wasn't on the map.
Then it clicked.
"The room of requirement?" Said Ginny.
"Well there's only one way to find out." Said Harry.
*
"So you're telling me," began Ron later that evening as Harry checked on where Draco was on the map. "That Malfoy is buggering off to the room of requirement at night."
"Yep, and he seems to do it on the regular, I think he knows the patrol schedule as well because he slips past them with ease apparently." Explained Harry.
"Are we really sure that Malfoy is doing anything evil?" Asked Hermione.
"He definitely has the dark mark, I've not seen his right arm even once, he's always keeping it covered, not only that but what reason does he have to use the room of requirement." Said Harry.
Before anyone could respond, Harry spotted Draco on the move. "We need to go, Draco's on the sixth floor."
The four of the squeezed under the invisibility cloak and meandered there way to the room of requirement, they spotted Draco pacing outside where the Room of requirement normally was and watched as a large set of oak doors appeared.
They hurried in after Draco before the doors could shut and found themselves in a large room filled with mountainous piles of god knows what, books, chairs, odd bits, statues.
"This must be things that vanishing or go missing." Whispered Hermione.
"This way." Whispered Harry as he led them under the cloak where Draco was heading to.
They followed Malfoy until they found themselves looking at a large, old wooden cabinet that Draco was placing a bird into, they watched as Draco shut the cabinet doors and waited.
Harry moved closer, but accidentally knocked a wooden crate which sent several items flying at them, they ducked out of the way, though Harry and Ron were now visible whilst Hermione and Ginny remained under the cloak thanks to their shorter heights and sizes.
Draco whipped around and store when he saw Harry and Ron, the two Gryffindors legged it as Draco caused them, firing stunners and other hexes to try and immobilise them.
Ginny and Hermione followed, ditching the cloak as their cover was clearly blown.
As Harry and Ron ran for the exit, Harry's swished his wand and sent a pile of chairs and tables toppling in the path behind as to block Draco.
They burst through the doors, Hermioen and Ginny not far behind them as they shut the doors, the oak doors dissapeared, clearly Dracos instructions to prevent other intruders.
"We have to tell Dumbledore." Ssid Harry.
The four made their way quickly to Dumbledore's office, Harry gave the password and the gargoyle let them up the spiral staircase to Dumbledore's office.
"Enter." Called the headmaster as Harry opened the door.
"Ah Harry, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Asked Dumbledore.
"Malfoy is up to something in the room of requirement." Said Harry.
"Is he?" Asked Dumbledore, his eyebrow raised.
"Yes," said Hermione. "He was using this cabinet and putting things inside it, though we were discovered before we could find out what he ws truly doing."
"I have suspected that Mr. Malfoy has been up to something all year, however there is no evidence to suggest he is doing something suspicious, do keep in mind that I can't go interrogating him." Said Dumbledore
"But surely you can do something Professor?" Asked Harry.
"I'll have some patrols in thr area of the seventh floor, though I cannot directly interfere, that would be Severus's job and I do not think he will take kindly to you throwing accusations around." Said Dumbledore.
Harry wasn't particularly happy as he left Dumbledore's office but he did have to agree with his point as he made his way back to the Gryffindor common room.
*
Draco was pissed, simple as that
Now that the stupid specky git known as Harry Potter had messed with his plans, it was going to take longer than originally planned for him to get the vanishing cabinet working.
It had been hard sneaking away at night or during the quieter times of the day just to get to the seventh floor, as a prefect he could move around nearly anywhere and he could use the badge as a way to remove any seeds of doubt or suspicion.
*
He didn't have much time, he knew that his parents were under pressure if he didn't succeed, there lives could very well hang in the balance.
He darted into a small broom closet as he let a patrol of Foundation troops pass by, he had learnt the dissolusion charm before the start fo the year, however those muggles had kit that would allow them to see him, besides you could see a faint shimmer in a person vision when using the charm.
Draco paced outside the room of requirement, causing it to appear as he snuck inside.
Even after that evenings attempt, things weren't looking good, the main problem was that organic items wer being affected by the broken cabinet, the apple he had put in came back rotten, the bird he had used was dead, either the travel was causing significant, fatal damage or the time process was too long and it was causing them to die of asphyxiation.
As made his way into the great hall for an early breakfast he locked eyes with him.
Harry bloody Potter.
The two had locked eyes simultaneously and Draco felt his hand twitch, Potter was the main reason for this whole shit, he needed him gone.
He ducked away from the great hall.
Harry excused himself and before Ron, Hermione and Ginny could catch up, he was gone.
"This isn't good." Began Ron. "We need to find Harry fast."
"Ok," began Hermione. "Ginny check near the seventh floor and grab the marauders map if you dont see Harry or Draco there, Ron head up and check floors four five and six and I'll check the rest."
They all nodded and split off as Ginny raced as fast as she could for the seventh floor.
It didn't take long for her too find no sign of Harry, so she made it for the Gryffindor common room, passing by Neville who was coming down the stairs.
"No time to explain." Said Ginny hurriedly as she grabbed the map and scanned for where Harry was. She found him on the second floor bathroom which lead to the chamber of secrets.
She raced down to the floors Ron and Hermione would be checking, they had to get to Harry as soon as possible.
*
Harry followed Draco under his invisibility cloak, he had to make sure no one followed him as he pursued Malfoy who was making his way for the second floor, a rather odd place Harry thought.
He ducked past students as he found himself in the deserted corridor that led to the second floor girls bathroom.
"Why are you upset?" Asked a female voice Harry recognised as moaning Myrtle, the ghost that inhabited these toilets.
"You wouldn't understand." Said Draco, his voice hoarse and sad.
Harry peeked in to listen as Draco leant against a sink, looking at his reflection, he saw fear and regret in Malfoy's eyes.
"I would if you told me." Said Myrtle.
"JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME!!" Shotued Draco, whipping round and sending sparks from his wand.
Harry burst the door open and disarmed Draco before he could do anything.
Draco gripped his wand as hard as he could as he felt try to leave his hand, he lept to the side as Harry threw a stunner.
Draco charmed the door shut and set it to lock so that no one could get in as he recoevered and gripped his wand tightly.
Myrtle had retreated to a corner as she watched Harry raise his wand.
"I know what you are up to Malfoy, you don't have to do this." Said Harry.
"You don't understand Potter, always getting in the way, always being a piece of shit." Spat Draco.
Harry saw movement and fired a blasting hex which blew up a sink, causing water to spew onto the floor.
Draco dodged it and fired off a bone breaking hex at Harry's arm, Harry raised a shield to block it and dived away from a blasting hex fired again.
"STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!!" Cried Myrtle as the two kept fighting.
Harry ducked behind a stall as Draco fired powerful and dangerous hexes at Harry, this was not a student brawl, it was two grown wizards fighting, both to hurt and neither pulled any punches.
Ginny, Hermione and Ron had met up and dashed for the bathroom, they heard explosions and all sorts coming from the bathroom.
Hermioen tried unlocking the door but it wouldn't work, Ginny fired a bombarda curse but nothign happened.
"Something is shielding the door." Said Hermione.
"SOMEONE GET OVER HERE!" Shouted Ginny down the hall.
A few guards ran over.
"Harry and Draco are fighting, one of themselves going to hurt the other." Said Hermione.
One of the guards pulled our a block and strapped it to the door before fitting a small black device to it.
"Move back!" They ordered as they pushed the students away.
Harry blocked another bone breaking hex as he rolled to the floor, avouding a blasting hex which blasted chunks out of the wall.
Moaning Mrytle was still crying out for them to stop as Draco hit Harry with a cutting curse to Harry's left arm, causing a shallow cut to form on Harry's arm.
Harry fired off his own hexes as he tried to use his arm, the cut was long and went all the way down his forearm.
Harry found himself losing his cover as Draco rounded on him, his wand was knocked out of his hand and yanked Dracos own wand but that was flung away before he could react.
Draco swung his fist at him and Harry parried before kicking Draco in the shin.
Draco lept at Harry but was thrown off of him by Harry's superior strength.
Straight into the path of his own wand.
Draco grabbed it and swung round, the next curse on the tip of his tongue.
"Cruci-" He hissed.
The door was suddenly blasted open, a loud explosion rocked Harry's ears as he ducked his head, fire and smoke billowing as two foundation guards stormed the room, there rifles raised, both aimed at Draco.
"On your knees! Now!" The nearest one barked at Draco and Harry.
Both obliged as they were dragged up onto their feet.
*
Dumbledore paced his office, a look of anger on his face, McGonagall was stood beside him with a look of fury as Harry stood before them.
"What did you think you were doing Potter?!" Demanded McGonagall. "Attacking anothet student!"
"He attacked me first!" Harry argued back.
Harry had pleaded saying that Draco used spells that were dark and unsafe to be using on another student, but Snape said they were no witnesses.
"It is Mr. Malfoy's word against yours Mr. Potter, both of you attacked each other and I will not tolerate," began Dumbledore. "I told you to leave the boy alone whilst I sort out the matter."
"HES TRYING TO GET DEATH EATERS INTO THE SCHOOL!" Shouted Harry.
Dumbledore and McGonagall were shocked at Harry's shouting, Harry himself felt very small all of a sudden.
"Do you even think that stopping Malfoy like this would help, if his family are in danger then attacking the boy would be sentencing his mother and father to there death." Said Dumbledore.
"Yeah well they are both death eaters." Said Dumbledore. "Both you and Draco will recieve a month's detention, and you will have it on Saturday evenings with Professor Snape, Mr. Malfoy will also undergo a similar punishment."
Harry left the office and felt tired, he felt like he couldn't be arsed anymore, no one was fully listening, even some of his friends like Hermione thought his accusations were a little far-fetched.
He slumped down onto the sofa in the Gryffindor common room that same night, he was ignoring Hermione as she practically chastised him.
"But you shouldn't have con-" began Hermione.
"Shut up Hermione," said Ginny, her head turning to face the bushy haired girl. "The last thing Harry needs right now is a bollocking."
Harry as surprised to see the two Gryffindor girls arguing, Ginny was glaring daggers at Hermione and Ron pulled her away as she turned away, they normally got on so well together that it hurt to see them fighting over him.
"Don't worry about her." Said Ginny. "I think she realised that she needs nag you less rather than more."
Harry nodded as he rested his head against her legs, he didn't feel like doing anything but watching the embers of the fireplace. He needed to stop Draco or at least damage the vanishing cabinet beyond repair.
Eventually he made his way up to his dormitory after giving Ginny a goodnight kiss, though instead Ginny dragged him up to his bed and whispered for him to be quiet as she laid her herself down on his bed with him.
After placing some privacy charms to prevent anyone from hearing them, Ginny straddled Harry and teased his growing erection with her thighs, her hands placed firmly on his chest as she leaned down to kiss him.
Harry was engulfed by Ginny's flaming red hair as she ground against him, his hands moved to the hem of her Hogwarts shirt and he began to unbutton it, revealing her simple black bra.
When her bra fell away, Harry began to softly touch, rub and stroke her breasts earning a few moans from Ginny as she pulled herself down him and undid his trousers and removing his boxers. His erection sprung out and she gave him a wink taking his cock by her hand and practically engulfing down her slender throat.
Harry let out a hiss of pleasure, the sudden movement so quick that he was caught off guard. He let out a moan as his hands rested on the back of Ginny's head, running through her flaming locks of hair as her head bobbed up and down, her mouth pleasuring him greatly.
Ginny pulled away after about a minute and Harry was slightly dissapointed but grinned when Ginny put her bra back on and shimmered down so that his cock pressed against her chest.
She tucked his member behind the strap and into the tunnel that was Ginny amazing tits, the sensitive flesh earning a groan from Harry as Ginny pressed her tits together and massaged his cock with her breasts.
Harry groaned as Ginny took the head into her mouth, her breasts were large and perky enough that it was East for her to give him a titjob and Harry's erection was long enough that she could get a good inch or two into her mouth, the warmth of her lips over rhis cock combined with her titjob only made Harry groan in pleasure.
The sight of Ginny pleasuring him like this was hard for Harry to keep himself from climaxing at the sight, nevermind the amazing sensations and pleasure from her mouth and tits.
"I'm close." Moaned Harry.
Ginny gave him one last long suck before extracting her tits and mouth from his cock before rolling on top of Harry, straddling him. Harry performed the charm quickly with his wand, before tossing it aside as Ginny lowered herself onto him and they made love. Their bodies joining in a night of fiery passion.
A/N: slightly shorter chapter, nearing the end of the half-blood prince now. I apologise for this taking nearly a month to upload, I've had a lot of coursework lumped at me so I'll try and get another chapter out before the end of November at the latest.
Peace.
;)
