Dobby popped in with a crack "master Hoggywarts sir, what can Dobby bes doing for yous?"

"Hello Dobby. Could we please have dinner here in our rooms?" asked Hadrian.

Dobby nodded his head enthusiastically "Dobby can do!" He began snapping his fingers rapidly, when he was done he blinked up at Hadrian and Theo and squeaked, "dinners is beings served in Master Hoggywartses kitchen."

"Thank you Dobby," said Theo, "we really appreciate it."

"Oh" squealed Dobby, "Masters Hoggywartses is being mosts welcome. Do Master Hoggywartses bes needing anything else?"

Hadrian smiled down at the house elf, "No, we're good for now, Dobby. We promise to call you if we need anything else."

Dobby gave a sharp nod before popping away. After Dobby left Hadrian turned and kissed Theo deeply. Theo wrapped his arms around Hadrian's neck and returned the kiss. They only broke apart when they heard both their stomachs start to rumble.

They broke apart with a chuckle. "I guess we better go eat," said Theo.

"Yes," agreed Hadrian, "and then we can get back to what we were just doing."

Theo blushed and looked away. "I'd like that," he mumbled.

As Hadrian and Theo enjoyed a peaceful dinner and their rooms Hermione and Ron enjoyed a less peaceful dinner in the great hall.

"Have you seen Harry at all today?" asked Ron.

"Honestly Ron, we were together all day. If I had seen him you would have as well," said Hermione.

"Oh," muttered Ron, "he wasn't in the dorm room last night either."

At this Hermione's head shot up, "what do you mean; he wasn't in the dorm?"

"Well," muttered Ron, "I didn't see him last night; and I stayed up really late."

Hermionie sniffed "you most likely fell asleep before he got back…"

"But, Moine," said Ron as he gnawed on a chicken leg. "He wasn't there when I woke up. His bed didn't even look like it had been slept in, and none of his stuff was there either."

At this Hermione's face took on a panicked look. "Oh, ok then," she squeaked, "maybe Neville knows something." Hermione looked down the table at Neville. "Neville," she called.

When Neville looked over with a frown Hermione put on the sweetest most innocent voice she could muster, "you wouldn't happen to know where Harry is, would you?"

Neville's eyes widened in panic, "I-i d-d-don't know."

"Oh come on mate," said Ron "surely you know something."

Neville scowled at Ron, "I told you I don't know where he's staying."

"Ha," exclaimed Hermione "you said you didn't know where he's staying, that means you do know he has somewhere to stay outside of the Gryffindor dorms."

Neville's frown deepened "Hadrian is my friend, I'm not telling you too anything." With that Neville got up and left the great hall.

Hermione sighed "so much for that, maybe Professor McGonagall knows something."

"Great idea, Moine," Ron enthused, "we can ask her after dinner."

When dinner in the Great Hall had ended and just before they headed off to bed Hermione and Ron found Professor McGonagall in her office.

"Miss. Granger and Mr. Weasley, to what do I owe the pleasure?" asked McGonagall.

"We were wondering if you knew where Harry was?" asked Ron.

"Mr. Weasley as far as I know he should be up in Gryffindor tower with the rest of the lions."

"That's the thing, Professor," said Hermione "Harry hasn't been in the common room at all, his things aren't even in the dorm."

"Well," said McGonagall in surprise, "that is most unusual. I will bring this up at the staff meeting tomorrow morning. The Headmaster and Professors will see that it's taken care of."

"Thank you Professor," said Hermoine.

As the two friends turned to leave, Mcgonagall spoke "Oh and 5 points to each of you for bringing a missing student to a professor's attention."

The Next day Hadrian and Theo woke up curled around each other.

Theo leaned up and kissed Hadrian good morning. "Shall we eat breakfast here, or go down to the Great Hall?"

"hmmm" Groaned Hadrian, "I don't really want to but I think we should head down to the Great Hall."

Theo sighed, "I think you might be right, we can ask Professor Snape for his help after breakfast if we go to the Great Hall."

Hadrian kissed Theo's cheek, "you are right, love. Let's get ready to head down,"

As they approached the Great hall Hadrain spotted Hermione and Ron loitering outside the doors.

Hadrian let out a groan, "they're probably waiting for me, I'll bet that they noticed I haven't been in the common room."

Theo looked around, tugging on Hadrian's wrist, he pointed out a group of seventh years headed for the Hall. "I'll bet we can sneak in with them, then we just have to sit with the Slytherins and we should be fine."

Hadrian gave a determined nod, "good idea."

The boys gave a sigh of relief once they were safely seated at the Slytherin table.

"Why did you two look so nervous coming in?" asked Blaize.

"Hermiones and Ron were waiting for me," answered Hadrian.

"Ah, that would be something to be nervous about."

Theo shook his head in agreement "we would have eaten in our rooms or the kitchen but we need to ask Snape about something."

Blaize eyed the head table "well you better hurry, it looks like he just finished his meal."

Hadrian and Theo glanced up at the head table. When they saw Professor Snape begin to leave they jumped to their feet and started after him.

"Professor Snape," Theo called "could you please wait just a moment."

When Snape reached the hallway outside the great hall he turned to the young couple, "is there something that you need, Potters?"

"We wanted to ask for your help in harvesting some potion ingredients," said Hadrian.

"And you need my help because?" questioned Snape.

Theo and Harry glanced at each other before Theo answered "there is quite a lot and they're very rare ingredients, we wouldn't want to accidentally ruin them."

Snape's eyebrow tilted up in interest, "very well, I have a staff meeting now, meet me in my office in an hour."

As the Professor turned to leave both boys called out a "Thank you, Professor."
