AN: I have now figured out how to delete anonymous reviews. Do not use my stories for your illegal store front.
For the rest of my readers, those reviews on HME were there that long only because I was fighting with technology and didn't figure out how to delete them until today. I do not condone such things. If you don't know what is being discussed, you do not need to know.
We got the line back. :)
Chapter 4
"Harry, I once again do not appreciate being maneuvered into acting a certain way, even though you are in Slytherin now. I appreciate you following me when Draco pulled me aside, but I would have appreciated it a WHOLE Lot More than Doing IT INVISIBLY!"
Hermione had pulled Harry aside into an unused room up on seventh floor, as she wanted the ability to yell at her brother as best as she could. She had marched him as soon as possible, steaming mad, pacing back and forth across areas of the hall as she had heard that there was a room up there to be found sometimes. She was just happy that she had found it today.
Harry backed up and raised his arms.
"Hey, hey, I am sorry. I will get you the same thing that I got you last time to make up for it, the time you went on a date-ish thing."
"You think that I will be alright with that?! Harry James Potter, just like when you were in Gryffindor we two stuck together, we had better stay sticking together. Visibly. I don't want you backing down now that you are in the Snake Pit, you immature brat!"
"Okay, I get it, you want me there not just for you to know I am there, but for whoever else is with you to know that too."
"Exactly. Now you had better apologize and promise to do better."
"Didn't I apologize already?"
"Not good enough."
"Arg. Can you please forgive me for my immature attitude of cowardice towards my classmate? I promise to not go invisibly next time."
"Fine. Better. Now will you help me coerce Ron into the library for actual study and not just plotting? We have those extra things that we are supposed to be looking up in those books from home anyway. The price is two whole days of you not leaving for chess with Ron or flying unless you can't get out of it."
"We will go down for meals? Please?"
"Yes, I promise we will go down for meals."
"Yes," said Harry as he fist pumped the air.
"Blaise, is what we're doing the right thing? I mean, this is totally not what my dad would want."
"Going against Umbridge like this? Joining with the Gryffindors? The Hufflepuffs? The Ravenclaws? Joining a rebellion against a ministry worker? Who is torturing us? Which part are you talking about?"
"All of it."
"I have a question, Draco, are you wanting to uphold what you think your dad would want you to, or do you want to uphold your family values as much as you believe in them, and how many of them have been proven false so far?"
"What would your advice be?"
"Find out what are the absolute proven facts, and go from there."
"Umbridge is banal. He wouldn't care either way if we are discussing her a person. Joining with Gryffindors, only if it would benefit him some way. Hufflepuffs, same, if not held more gingerly. Ravenclaws, he's more neutral towards. Joining a Rebellion? (Snort) He's part of a rebellion against the Ministry, and wishes for me to join afterwards. He doesn't like the torturing part, but seems to hold it as a lesser thing than leaving."
"Didn't the Dark Lord already equate leaving to him was to be a traitor and to be punished with death?"
"Yes."
"How much is he with you joining a rebellion against the Ministry, and how much of it is doing as little as he can so he doesn't get your whole family killed? I don't know much of the situation, but I can't see any proper parent wanting to put his child in a location where he gets tortured on a daily basis like Potter has."
