-Chapter Twenty-one-

Waking early the next morning, Harry stretched his arms above his head and arched his back. Giving a content sigh, Harry curled back up against his mate and lazily traced patterns on his chest. Feeling the arm around his waist tighten, Harry glanced up and gave his dominant a shy smile.

Chuckling, Voldemort ran his fingers up through Harry's hair and said, "Good morning my beautiful. Did you sleep well?"

"Wonderfully, I've never slept that good before in my life." Harry admitted dropping his head back onto Voldemort's chest.

"That's wonderful, however we're going to have to get up. It's nearing eight o'clock and your classes should be starting soon." Voldemort said.

Groaning, Harry rubbed his face into Voldemort's chest and gave a soft, "Do I really have to go to my classes?" Looking up, Harry gently placed a kiss against his mates chest and added, "Don't you want me to stay here and keep you company?"

Taking a deep breath, Voldemort said, "I would love for you to keep me company all day today, but I need to go back and have a meeting with both my followers and your parents."

Laughing Harry said, "You cringed when you said you had to meet with my parents. Are you afraid of them?"

Giving a growl, Voldemort yanked Harry up so they were face to face and said, "I am not afraid of them...I'd just like to be able to have a fairly good day since our mating was last night."

"Me too, it would be even better though if we could stay here all day." Harry said persistently.

"Stop that imp. You need to go to classes so that the old fool doesn't start to look for you, and I need to get back to the hideout to get the meeting with both my followers and your parents over with." Voldemort said slowly sliding out from beneath Harry to grab his pair of boxers off of the floor.

Dropping back against the bed, Harry arched his back and rolled his neck around. Looking up at his mate through his half closed eyes, Harry asked, "Are you going to come back later tonight?"

"Of course. Nothing will keep me away from you now that we've mated." Voldemort said slipping his robes onto his body. "What classes do you have today?" He asked sitting back down on the edge of the bed.

"I have DADA at 9:00 until 11:00 then I have Potions from 1:05-until 3:05 and that's it for today."

"What is your full schedule?" Voldemort asked pulling Harry across the bed to lean against him.

"Monday and Wednesday is DADA and Potions, Tuesday and Thursday is Charms from 9:30 to 11:00 and after that is Transfigurations from 3:00 to 5:00, and Friday I have no classes." Harry said snuggling against his mate.

"Good. You can expect me to be here with you during most of the time that you are free." Voldemort said gently untangling himself from Harry's hold. "Now get up and get dressed."

Pouting, Harry gave a deep sigh and crawled over towards his side of the bed. Reaching down, Harry popped open the lid of his trunk and pulled out some new clothes and his books for both of his classes.

Groaning, Voldemort turned his eyes away from Harry's swaying bottom and said, "I shall be back later today, most likely around three o'clock."

Pulling his clothes and robe and tie on, Harry stood up cradling his books and divided notebook/binder to his chest. "My class doesn't get out until 3:05, like I said, but I'll be down here as soon as class is over." Harry said tilting his head up towards his mate.

Dropping a soft kiss against Harry's lips, Voldemort forced himself to pull away and disapparated before he could become distracted by his mates full lips and soft body.

Fluttering his eyes open, Harry stared at the spot where Voldemort had been standing. Shaking his head to clear it, Harry slowly made his way out of the bedroom making sure to shut the doors behind him.

Walking up the stairs and down the passageway towards his fathers office, Harry nibbled at his lip wondering what his father was going to say about last night. Stopping at the wall, Harry hissed out the password and stepped out into his father's office.

Looking up from his desk, Severus gave a slight smile and said, "Ah Harry, I was wondering when you were going to be up. Draco was looking for you last night."

"Oh...what did you tell him?" Harry asked.

"I just told him that you were busy." Severus said making a face. "I'd rather not have to think about what my sixteen year old son does while with his older mate."

"Don't worry father...now we're even. I don't want to have to think about what you're doing with mum or my other father." Shuddering at the thought, Harry shook his head and added, "I'm going to go to breakfast I'll see you later in class."

"Alright I shall see you later, and don't forget to find your brother." Severus said going back to the book in front of him.

Stopping before he made it out the door, Harry turned back to his father and said, "Where's Tiger? I know that he was with you last night."

"I left him in my room for today. I will get him for you after class today." Severus said without looking up from his book.

Nodding, Harry turned back and continued out of the room.

Making his way out of the office and towards the classroom door, Harry opened it slightly and glanced out to make sure that the hallway was clear. Stepping out into the hallway, Harry barely made it two steps when he heard Draco call out his name.

"Where were you last night?" Draco asked after catching up with him.

"I was in my room...why did something happen?" Harry asked glancing back towards the way he came from. "Where did you come from? You weren't just down the hall." He added.

"I just came around the corner...now don't change the subject, why didn't you come down to dinner last night?" Draco asked.

"It's personal." Harry said blushing.

"Alright you're the second person that blushed when I asked where you were. What is it?" Draco asked stopping and placing his hands on his hips.

"Look I'll explain it to you later. After potions don't leave the room. It's not exactly safe to talk about it here in the hallways." Harry said looking towards one of the ghosts floating down the hall towards them.

"Alright, but I expect to get a straight answer from you then." Draco said starting to walk again.

"You will...although you may not want to hear it." Harry said casting a wicked grin towards his brother.

Giving a roll of his eyes, Draco grinned and said, "Well we shall see later then."

Walking in silence, the two made their way into the great hall and over towards the Slytherin table. Sitting down next to each other, they were immediately assaulted by a loud screech coming from behind them.

"Drakey why is he sitting at our table!" Pansy shrieked as she dropped into the open seat beside Draco.

"I'm sitting here because I want to Parkinson." Harry said sneering at her. "Now if you don't mind, we would like to eat in peace."

Looking from Harry to Pansy, Draco grinned and said, "I think that about covers it."

Turning to the dishes of food in front of them, Harry and Draco placed eggs and bacon onto their plates.

"Harry, where's Tiger? Did you leave him in your rooms today?" Draco asked ignoring Pansy who was trying to get his attention by rubbing herself against his side.

"Yeah, he's in the bedroom. I didn't think it would be a good idea to bring him to classes today. Especially while we're in potions." Harry said.

"Of course. You don't need him eating any of the potion ingredients." Draco said pushing at Pansy's hand that was creeping towards his thigh. "Pansy keep your hands to yourself!" Draco hissed shoving her hand away from him.

"I suggest that you listen to him Pansy. I'd hate to have to hit you with a dangerous spell." Harry said after leaning in so that only she and Draco could hear him.

"Don't you threaten me Potter!" Pansy spat. "I'll be happy when my lord destroys you."

Giving a hum, Harry said, "We shall see if he is going to destroy me when the time comes."

Giving a snort, Draco looked up towards the clock and said, "We should get going to DADA Harry. The class starts in ten minutes."

Nodding in agreement, Harry tossed his napkin down onto his empty plate and stood up grabbing his books.

Walking out of the room, Harry ignored the whispers and looks coming from the other students.

"Do you have any idea what we're going to be taught in class today?" Draco asked trying to make conversation while tossing glares at the other students.

"No, I haven't talked to Remus about that." Harry admitted. "I'm sure it's going to be something useful though." Harry added.

"Yeah, nothing like the other DADA teachers that we've had." Draco said.

"Yeah, Remus hasn't tried to get anyone killed or wasted our time with useless things." Harry said as they reached the door to the DADA classroom.

Leaning against the wall outside the door, Harry gave a groan when Hermione and Ron came storming up towards him and Draco.

"Harry why were you sitting with the snakes and where were you last night?" Hermione asked tapping her foot on the floor.

"I was sitting with my friend and I was in bed last night...why where were you?" Harry asked sneering at her.

"I was where I was supposed to be. Now tell me the truth; where were you last night...and don't you lie to me Harry James Potter!" She nearly screamed.

"That is enough Miss. Granger." Remus said stepping up from behind them. "And twenty five points from Gryffindor for harassing a fellow student."

"But Remus Harry wasn't in his room last night! He never came back to the dorms yesterday!" Hermione whined turning to face Remus.

"Twenty five more points from Gryffindor for calling a teacher by his first name, and another twenty for tattling on a fellow house mate." Remus said crossing his arms. "Now everyone in the classroom before I take more points."

As the other students scampered into the room, Harry grinned at Remus and slowly made his way into the classroom.

Moving towards the Slytherin's side of the classroom, Harry and Draco took a seat at the first desk that had both seats open.

Taking a seat on his desk, Remus looked at his watch then towards the door. While they waited for the rest of their peers to show up, the students quietly talked amongst themselves. About three minutes later a bell went off and the door swung shut by itself signaling the start of the period.

"Alright it's time to begin. First off welcome to your sixth year of DADA, for those of you that made it into the class, secondly, you are here to learn how to defend yourself. If you don't wish to learn I recommend that you leave now. I will not tolerate disruptions in my classroom." Remus said, still sitting on his desk. Opening his mouth to continue, Remus was cut off when the door opened and a student walked into the room.

"Ah Miss. Parkinson, thank you for showing up...unfortunately you're late. So I will ask you to leave my classroom. Also you will serve one nights detention with Mr. Filch tomorrow evening and ten points from Slytherin for being late."

Scoffing Pansy said, "You can't do that just for me being late."

"Actually Miss. Parkinson, I can. Now leave my classroom before I add to your detention and send you to the headmasters office." Remus said.

"Fine!" Pansy shouted spinning on her heel. Yanking open the door, Pansy stormed out and slammed the door behind her.

Turning back to the class shaking his head, Remus said, "Alright, now that that is over let's get on with today's lesson. I recommend that everyone be ready to go outside for every other class. One class I will teach you a spell and about it, then the next class we will go outside and practice the spell. Every night you will write a short paper, five to six inches of parchment, about the spell. If you don't write the paper you don't to practice the spell."

Hopping down off of his desk, Remus turned and made his way around the desk and to his blackboard.

"Today we are going to talk about the Confringo spell. Can anyone tell me what type of spell this is?" Remus asked looking around the room. Ignoring Hermione's frantically waving hand, he turned to the Slytherin side and said, "Mr. Zabini what is it?"

"Confringo is a blasting curse, it is a dark purple color, and anything that the spell hits explodes." Blaise explained.

"Correct fifteen points to Slytherin." Remus said nodding his head. "The Confringo, as most spells, hexes, jinxes, and curses can be repelled with a simple Protego."

Before Remus could continue with his lesson, a snort came from the Gryffindor's side of the room and Ron was heard saying, "Of course a Death Eaters kid would know what that spell does."

Turning towards Ron, Remus said, "Excuse me Mr. Weasley? Is there something that you'd like to share with the entire class?"

"Sure." Ron said tossing a glare towards the Slytherins. "I said that the only reason Zabini knows what that spell does is because he's the son of a Death Eater."

"Mr. Weasley I will not tolerate that kind of slander against your classmates, twenty points from Gryffindor. Now gather your books and leave my class. Until you learn to respect your classmates you are not going to step back into my classroom."

"You can't do that!" Hermione shrieked jumping up from her seat.

"Actually Miss. Granger, I can. Now unless you both would like to lose Gryffindor more points, Mr. Weasley out, and Miss. Granger back in your seat." Remus said crossing his arms.

Grumbling, Ron grabbed up his books and stormed to the door turning red as he heard the Slytherin's snickering at him.

"Alright. Since everyone is acting up today I am going to tell you all this once and only once. I am not going to tolerate disruptions in my classroom. You are no longer children, you are young adults that will soon be entering the real world. As you've already seen, if you come in late you will lose house points and be kicked out of my class for the day. If you disrupt my class you will lose house points and be tossed out of my class. Finally if you slander or insult another classmate you will lose points and be tossed out of my class until you decide to act your age. Everyone is well past the age of acting like children with petty name calling and insults." Remus said.

Looking up towards the clock as the bell rang again and the door sprang open, Remus said, "Remember what I told you about my rules and don't forget your assignment due next class. You're dismissed."

As the students started to pile out of the classroom whispering to each other, Harry slowly gathered his books. When he was the last student in the room besides Draco, Harry made his way up to the desk.

"That was different Remus." Harry said leaning against the desk.

"Yes well I am a little biased." Remus admitted. "For one Mr. Weasley and Miss. Granger for hurting and upsetting you Harry, and secondly Miss. Parkinson for constantly hitting on my friends mate."

Grinning Harry said, "You're the best Remus."

"Yes thank you Professor Lupin. I'm sure Sirius appreciates this as much as I do." Draco said.

"You don't have to be formal with me Mr. Malfoy, Remus is just fine." Remus said patting him on the shoulder.

"Then I insist that you call me Draco...I mean we will be practically family soon." Draco said.

"Of course Draco. Now I'm sure that you two have things to do, and I have a class of first years to teach in five minutes. I shall see you both later." Remus said making his way over to the door. Opening the door, Remus allowed Harry and Draco to leave the room then stepped out to allow the group of first year Slytherins and Gryffindors into the room.

Walking down the hall, Harry tossed a grin towards Draco and said, "At least we don't have to worry about them in DADA and you know Potions will be a bad class for them."

About to answer, Draco was cut off by Professor Dumbledore coming around the corner.

"Ah Harry, I was just looking for you. I wish to have a word with you after your last class today. So as soon as you get out of class please come up to my office."

"Of course Professor." Harry said trying to hide the sneer that wanted to spread across his lips.

"Good, good. Now if you will excuse me I have many things to do before then." Dumbledore said as the twinkle in his eyes seemed to triple.

Giving a strained smile, Harry discretely grabbed a hold of Draco's sleeve and pulled him down the hall past the headmaster.

When they finally got far enough away, Harry let go of Draco's sleeve and slowed his walk down.

"What's wrong Harry?" Draco asked brushing out the kink in his sleeve.

"Nothing, he just gave me the creeps today." Harry said glancing behind them. "It was nothing. I'm going to head up to the library to get the assignment done. Are you going to come with or are you going to do something else?" Harry asked.

"I'll come with you. Parkinson is going to be in a foul mood after getting kicked out of class. That will be the one place that she won't be since she doesn't know about the assignment yet." Draco said.

"It's gonna stink when you go back to the common room then isn't it." Harry said grinning.

"It's not funny Harry!" Draco whispered harshly as they made their way into the library and towards one of the empty tables.

Setting down his books, Harry pulled out two pieces of parchment and handed one to Draco.

"So five or six inches. That's easy, it's only a few sentences." Draco said pulling out one of his quills then opened his DADA spell book to section "C".

Giving a grunt of agreement, Harry quickly started to write out the answer to the assignment.

Within twenty minutes they both finished and shut their books. Placing their finished assignments into their binders, the two sat there for the rest of the hour reading through their book pointing out spells that they thought would be useful and jotting them down.

"Ready to head down to lunch?" Draco asked packing up the rest of his things.

"Yeah, I think I need a full stomach when we get to potions." Harry said grinning. "Although I don't think that it's going to be as bad as it has been."

"Yeah, no more 'accidents' or angry potions masters...well none happening to you anyway." Draco said grinning.

"Do you think Weasley is going to cause any problems in class?" Harry asked as they walked down the stairs right outside the library.

"No, not with Professor Snape anyway. He doesn't have the guts to do anything." Draco said as they made their way into the great hall and over to the Slytherin's table.

Grinning Harry said, "Yeah that's expected though. With Remus though I think that everyone was surprised."

Placing some food on his plate, Draco said, "Definitely. I was surprised when he kicked Pansy out of class, but more so when he kicked the Weasel out and took points from the house."

"I think everyone was." Harry said taking a sip of his pumpkin juice. "I'm just hoping that it's not going to cause any problems for Remus." Picking up his fork Harry quickly made through his way through the food on his plate.

"It shouldn't, they were disregarding the rules so he rightly punished them." Draco said.

"That's true." Harry said finishing off the chicken on his plate.

"Hungry Harry?" Draco asked watching as placed more food onto his empty plate.

"Starving. I feel like I haven't eaten all day." Harry said.

Chuckling Draco asked jokingly, "You didn't get yourself pregnant did you?"

Coughing as the food in his mouth slid down the wrong way, Harry took a gulp of his drink to get it unstuck. Giving a sigh when he could breath right, Harry turned bright red when he remembered what Draco had asked him.

"Oh god, was that where you were last night?" Draco asked going wide-eyed.

Mumbling out his answer, Harry scooped up his books and quickly made his way out of the great hall.

"Harry wait!" Draco called following quickly behind him. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that."

"It's not that." Harry said giving him a strained smile. "What if I am. What am I going to do?" Harry asked freaking out.

"Don't worry about it. We'll talk about this later after your meeting with the headmaster." Draco said giving him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Let's just focus on getting through Potions class right now."

"You're right. Besides I'm probably not." Harry said giving an uncomfortable chuckle as they stepped into the Potions classroom.

Nodding to Severus, both Harry and Draco took the first desk on the Slytherin's side and sat down.

As soon as all of the students were in their seats, Severus made his way over to the door and shut it himself. Turning around to face the class, Severus gave them his best glare which made most of the Gryffindor's lean back in their chairs.

"This is your sixth year of potions. If you don't wish to be here, or for some reason, are in the wrong classroom leave now." Stopping to allow anyone to leave, Severus continued after a few seconds. "Since none of you wish to leave let me continue with the rules. If you make a potion wrong and waste any ingredients you will spend two weeks in detention with either Filch or with myself...and trust me you won't like that. If you blow up any cauldrons you will be thrown out of my class and given two weeks detention or, if the explosion is severe enough, you will be thrown out of my class for good. If you wish to leave do it now."

Sneering when no one left, Severus made his way around to the blackboard and tapped it with his wand. "You will be doing The Draught of the Living Death, it will take you the entire class so get to work. It can be found on page 256 of you textbook all the materials are listed, so don't screw it up."

"Draco why don't you go and gather the ingredients and I'll get the cauldron and other materials that we need." Harry suggested after flipping open the book. "We need Wormwood, Asphodel, Sopophorus beans, and Valerian roots."

Nodding, Draco made his way towards the ingredients cupboard while Harry went over to the side table where the cauldrons, silver rod stirrers, flask, and silver daggers were located. Grabbing one of each, Harry made his way back over to the desk and sat them down taking a second to return them to normal size.

As he returned to his seat, Draco carefully set the ingredients down on the table and asked, "Okay, so what do we need to do?"

"First we need to get the juice out of the Sopophorus beans,we need five full flasks of the juice. The book says that we should crush them with the flat side of our dagger." Harry said reading straight from the book.

"Alright, so we need something to catch the juice in first. Hold on." Draco said pulling a piece of parchment out of his notebook. With a flick of his wand, a plate with a bowl connected to it to catch the juice was in front of him. Casting another spell the plate was quickly sterilized and ready to be used.

"Good idea." Harry said placing two of the beans onto the plate. "The book doesn't say how much liquid is inside of the beans, but it does say that there is a lot in there."

Picking up the dagger, Draco carefully crushed the end of one of the beans and watched as a rush of liquid rushed out and into the bowl.

"Dang, that looks like it will be about half of a flask right there." Harry said when the bean was finally empty.

Quickly crushing the other bean, Draco waited until the bowl filled then carefully emptied the contents into the flask.

"It was. Two beans is one full flask." Draco said. "Do we need to add all of the liquid together or can it be added separately?" Draco asked glancing towards the book.

"The book says that it's best to empty the flasks in separately. So add that one and I'll crush two more beans." Harry said placing two more beans onto the plate.

Carefully pouring the liquid into the empty cauldron, Draco watched for any signs that the cauldron had been tainted.

"Okay, I'm ready for the next flask full." Draco said setting the flask down onto the desk.

Working together, the two quickly got done with adding the liquid and made their way onto the next step.

"Now light the fire under the potion. It has to get hot while we crush the Wormwood, and chop the Valerian roots." Glancing down at their materials, Harry said, "We need to get a mortar and pestle to crush the Wormwood."

"I'll grab it." Draco said making his way over to the newly changed material station.

"Has he always done that?" Harry asked while he worked on chopping the roots.

"Yeah, it's his way of making sure that we're paying attention to what we're doing." Draco said dropping the Wormwood into the mortar.

As he chopped up the roots, Harry said, "The next part is to add in the ground Wormwood while stirring the warmed juice."

"Alright you stir while I add in the Wormwood." Draco said moving over to their cauldron.

Picking up the silver rod, Harry gently started to stir the potion seven times counter-clockwise while Draco gently shook the powdered Wormwood into the potion. After the last counter-clockwise stir, Harry gave it one last sharp clockwise stir.

Stepping back, they watched as a constant thick blue steam started to rise from the potion.

"So far so good." Harry said. "The Asphodel needs to be crushed into a fine powder as well." Harry said as he chopped up the rest of the Valerian root.

"If I remember right then these two ingredients need to be added at the same time. Right?" Draco asked without looking towards the book.

"Yep that's right." Harry said after looking at the book. "Alright the roots all chopped up and ready to go in."

"So is the Asphodel." Draco said tapping the pestle onto the mortar to get any of the Asphodel that stuck off.

"Alright so lets pour them in then stir it up." Harry said. Gathering the chopped root up onto the knife, Harry gently moved it so that nothing fell off.

When Draco had the mortar even they both tipped their ingredients into the potion and watched as it started to bubble.

Grabbing the silver rod, Harry quickly gave the potion three and a half counter-clockwise stirs, one, clockwise, and then three and a half more counter-clockwise. As soon as he stopped on the last stir the potion started to change colors until it was a deep, dark purple.

"Great everything looks to be..."Draco started to say but was cut off by a thick puff of smoke pouring through the classroom.

"Mr. Weasley Miss. Granger, are you so incompetent that you can't follow simple directions in a book?" Severus shouted as he made his way over to their desk.

"But Professor we did everything according to the book!" Hermione said with wide eyes.

"Apparently not, Miss. Granger, or else your potion wouldn't have reacted as it did. Clean up and get out of my classroom. Miss. Granger you will be serving detention with Filch starting tomorrow, and Mr. Weasley your detention starts tomorrow with me." Severus said sneering at the both of them.

When they just continued to sit there, Severus shouted, "NOW! Before I increase both of your punishments!"

With wide eyes they both worked quickly to clean up their stations and gather their things.

Chuckling, Harry and Draco turned back to their potion while listening to Hermione and Ron practically run around to get done quicker.

"The last step to the potion is to turn off the heat and add the chopped Sopophorus beans,but they have to be the ones that we took the liquid from." Harry said flicking his wand to extinguish the fire beneath the potion. Pulling the used beans to him, Harry chopped them up and dropped them into the potion.

A few seconds after the beans were added into the potion, the color changed again into a light shade of lavender. Picking up the silver stirring rod, Harry started to stir the potion and with each rotation the color of the potion grew weaker and weaker until the potion was as clear as water.

Giving Draco a grin, Harry closed his book and started to gather up the dirty materials they had used for their potion.

Picking up the tools, both Harry and Draco made their way to the sink in the back of the room and washed them up quickly.

Moving back towards the front of the room and to their station, they sat down and quietly talked until Severus made his way to the front of the room.

"That's it, time's up. Stop what you are doing and start cleaning up your stations if you haven't already. I will be coming around to judge if your potion is even close to passing. If it is then next class you will have a free period while the ones who failed have to complete their potion again. If you fail to finish the potion you fail for the week. If you fail both potions this week you will not be allowed back into my classroom."

Sweeping down the aisles, Draco and Harry continued to talk as they listened to Severus berate quite a few of the Gryffindor groups and tell one or two groups of Slytherin's what they did wrong.

When he reached their table, both Harry and Draco looked up towards him.

"Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Potter, while this is an odd arrangement of partners I commend you on being the only group to perfectly complete this potion." Severus said after staring down at the potion.

"Thank you professor." They both said at the same time while hiding their smiles.

Moving over to his desk, Severus pulled out a small box of vials then made his way back over to Draco and Harry's desk. Tapping the cauldron and then the vials with his wand the potion lifted out of the cauldron and carefully poured into the vials.

"This potion will be sent to the ministry to be used in emergencies." Severus said moving the box back to his desk. "The rest of you could take a lesson from Mr. Malfoy...and his partner, for their ease at following simple directions. Now all of you finish cleaning up and get out of my sight. Oh and for the ones that failed this potion I expect a three foot essay on why you failed this assignment." Sneering at the students, Severus made his way back around his desk and dropped down into his desk chair ignoring the students as they piled out of the classroom.

"I actually got a compliment from you...hell must be freezing over." Harry joked from his seat at his desk.

"Don't push your luck imp, or I might have to pair you with one of the Gryffindors during a future class." Severus teased.

Grinning at his father, Harry was about to say something when he suddenly made a face. "I've got to go. The headmaster wanted to see me after my last class got done. I should be back in a little while." Harry said slowly pushing himself up from his chair.

"Alright, but be careful in there Harry." Severus said.

"I will. I'll be back after I'm done talking with him." Harry said. "Is it alright if I leave my books here?"

"Of course Harry." Severus said nodding his head.

"Thanks." Harry mumbled. "I'll be back shortly." Making his way out of the classroom, Harry ignored the other students as he made his way up towards the headmasters office.

Mumbling the password, Harry waited for the stone gargoyle to move before he made his way up into the headmasters office. The first thing he saw was the same sheet of paper that the headmaster had been reading the other day just laying out on the desk.

Frowning slightly, Harry said, "Headmaster you wanted to speak with me."

"Oh yes Harry thank you for coming right up. I wanted to speak to you about the changes that you mentioned to me earlier, and the fact that you've been lying to me." Dumbledore said losing the twinkle in his eyes.

"Lying to you? I don't understand professor." Harry said discretely moving towards the door.

"You know what I mean Harry. The fact that your family is different than what you originally thought." Giving a sigh, Dumbledore ran his hand through his beard and added, "It's a shame that I have to kill you now. Your child would have made a wonderful pawn."

Baring his elongated fangs, Harry took a large step backwards and reached for his wand but wasn't quick enough.

Dumbledore pulled out his wand and with a sharp flick of his wand, hissed out, "Avada Kedavra."

As the spell hit Harry, Dumbledore gave a grin and watched as Harry tumbled forwards hitting the desk before he slid backwards and onto the ground.

As Harry felt the darkness surround him, he grabbed a fistful of the papers underneath his chest and pulled them with him as he slumped backwards onto the ground. The last thing Harry heard was the door to Dumbledore's office slamming open against the wall and a loud snarl that echoed throughout the room.
