Chapter 3... Enjoy!

"Good Morning, Harry"

"Good Morning" Harry replied, yawning.

"Did you know that you speak in your sleep?" I asked.

"I don't know. Maybe I do. I had a weird dream, but I can't remember it well." he replied.

Harry, Ron and I went down for breakfast, and that's where I found the newspaper.

"GRINGOTTS BREAK-IN LATEST"

Investigations continue into the break-in at Gringotts on 31

July, widely believed to be the work of dark wizards or witches

unknown.

Gringotts' goblins today insisted that nothing had been

taken. The vault that was searched had in fact been emptied

the same day.

'But we're not telling you what was in there, so keep your

noses out if you know what's good for you,' said a Gringotts

spokesgoblin this afternoon.

"Harry, what happened at Hagrid's yesterday?" I asked

"Nothing really! we just talked about classes, Snape hating me, Ron's brother Charlie and his Dragons, and..." Harry paused for a second, and I looked at him curiously.

"I completely forgot, there has been a break-in at Gringotts."

"Gringotts?"

"Yeah, the wizard bank"

"I know what Gringotts is, I meant to ask what happened"

"Well, when Aunt Petunia, Hagrid and I went to Gringotts on my birthday, Hagrid had some Hogwarts work to do, and the vault he emptied, I think, was the same that was attacked, on the same day," said Harry excitedly.

"Slow down! Why do you think so? I mean, a lot of vaults could have been emptied on the same day right?" I asked.

"Yeah, I guess, but you should have seen Hagrid's face yesterday when I asked him about it."

There was silence at our table for a minute or two, and then Ron spoke.

"What are you guys doing today?"

"I have something to do, why what happened?" I replied.

"I thought we could play Wizard's Chess"

Harry said yes, and I excused myself shortly thereafter as I still had a mistake to rectify.

I went to the library, hoping to find Hermione, but she wasn't there. I still had some homework to complete, so I decided to do that. The weekend went by quite peacefully. Harry and Ron were busy playing Chess, and I spent most of it at the library.

This week has been pretty peaceful too. I had 4 detention days, Thursday was the last. Thankfully it was with Professor McGonagall. She just asked me to write some lines, and let me go early. The worst ones were with Filch, where he made me clean and polish trophies. Meanwhile, Harry is now the seeker for Gryffindor. Harry and Malfoy had a confrontation during Quidditch class, things happened, and at the end, McGonagall saw Harry catch a Remembrall and made him Seeker.

"What are you doing?" asked Harry. I quickly covered the letter and told him,

"Me? Nothing mate, just writing some updates to my Aunt. She often gets worried about me. What are you doing at this time of the night?" Ron appeared behind Harry.

"We, we were just, we were just going for a walk" Ron mumbled nervously.

"A walk? Ok, let's go." I replied.

"No, no, you need not come," replied Ron instantly.

"I need not come, or I should not come? What's up, guys?" I asked curiously.

"Malfoy challenged me to a duel, at midnight, trophy room" Harry replied.

"And I'm his 2nd" Ron added.

"Oh! A duel? How nice… Do you guys know any spells?"

"No" replied Harry.

"Malfoy's tricking you. He won't be there, he'll probably tell Filch about this. Trust me, this is a trap."

"How do you know?" Ron asked.

"Malfoy boasts a lot. He's an attention seeker, not brave. There's no way he's coming. Plus Harry, why would he challenge you? You're the Boy Who Lived after all!"

Harry gave me a chuckle and said, "Well, there's only one way to find out" Ron and Harry left the tower room, and went down the staircase, only to meet Hermione. I couldn't hear their conversation, but I knew that she disapproved of their late-night adventure. I asked Harry the next day about the duel, and he admitted that Malfoy didn't actually show up. He also told me about Fluffy and how he thinks Fluffy could be guarding whatever was there in Gringotts. I didn't tell him that he was right though!

PS - Chapter 4 will be released, hopefully in 2-3 days.

Also, thanks for your reviews. It's appreciated!
