Last Time:
Harry was struggling after getting a vicious kick to the gut, but he removed the gravity charm he was under … a charm he made to help build strength … and started fighting back …
XXXXXXXXXX
Neville went over and sat next to Ron in the Great Hall “hey Ron … where’s Harry?” the budding herbologist asked as he looked around the crowded room quickly filling with hungry people wanting breakfast.
“he’s coming … can you believe we have to go to classes this morning right before leaving? We’re the only year that has to! It bloody sucks” the red head grumbled trying to change the subject. He was willing to bet that Harry fell asleep in the training room and was trying to avoid the Slytherins as he left the deepest depths of the dungeons. It was the one thing they haven’t got a chance to tell the young herbologist about … Neville guessed about all on his own and knew something was going, but knew they will tell him like always once they got the chance. Not a moment later he saw Harry running passed a startled Draco and heading towards them.
“yeah, but it makes sense, we are the year working on passing our NEWTS. I think it’s only for our year though … the seventh years get a break since they are taking it, at least it’s only half classes” said Neville who smiled as Harry sat down with them.
Harry panted slightly out of breath “hey guys, ready for classes?”
“yeah … are you ok? You look like you just ran a dozen laps around the Quidditch field” Neville asked, he was tempted to check for a fever.
(more like up ten flights of dungeons) Harry thought in exhaustion, he was glad he kept a spare uniform in the lavish bathroom above the training room “had to take a few detours to safely get passed Draco and his goons … ooook, Hermione is clearly still mad” Harry winced as the bushy haired girl shot him a glare from her spot at the table.
Ron frowned “yeah about that, Ginny thinks it has something to do with potions, but she doesn’t know anything beyond that”
“guess we’ll find out … oh I checked Salazar’s study before coming here. Nothing specifically on occlumency” Harry whispered.
Breakfast was a little awkward. Harry could feel Hermione’s eyes boring into his head as if trying to set him on fire and Ron was feeling it too. They quickly finished their meals and went through their shortened classes. The DADA class with Professor Snape was a little scary. Snape was staring at him most of the time … he was sure the professor was beyond pissed about having to take Harry into his NEWTs class and teaching occlumency.
It wasn’t his fault! He wanted to jump up and say ‘I’m sorry ok! Dumbledick is making me do it! Don’t snarl at me!’, but that probably wouldn’t be wise …
Professor Slughorn’s potions class was the last class and it was great. The wizard explained some guidelines to help study and prepare for the NEWTs like the other classes, but explained that Professor Snape would be teaching those in conjunction with the DADA classes. It was also revealed that Harry just barely edged out Hermione for the best potion that was brewed that day earning a small prize in the form of a box of cauldron cakes. Harry was proud of himself for doing so well and gladly accepted the treat …
Victory is sweet!
Unfortunately Harry noticed a certain witch wasn’t happy about this “this is ridiculous. I’m going to talk to her” said Harry as he saw Hermione storm out of the classroom the second class was over.
“yeah we should clear the air before the holidays and since she won’t calm down and talk to us we better start it. Meet you in a second mate” Ron called over his shoulder as Harry took off after Hermione. The red head took a second to steady his heart rate before collecting all of his things. He didn’t know why, but he just can’t focus on anything other than his friend’s big strong hands … it was so strange.
*SMACK* a loud smack followed by horrified shrieks and gasps coming from out in the hall attracted not just Ron, but Professor Slughorn too and they went to see what was going on …
“Ms. Granger!”
“HARRY!”
XXXXXXXXXX
Severus was sitting back in his chair in his DADA classroom. The last class before lunch had just finished though he was relieved he couldn’t shake the feeling that he … missed having Harry Potter in his class and to his surprise he felt no anger to Albus forcing him take Harry in his NEWT classes. Before he could ponder the odd feelings or why he started thinking of Harry as Harry and not Potter or James’ spawn Slughorn poked his head in the room …
“I’m glad I found you Professor Snape. Could you please come to the potions class? There seems to be a problem that only you can resolve involving Mr. Potter and Ms. Granger” Slughorn asked almost pleadingly.
“very well” said Snape a little more eagerly then he intended, but ignored it and followed Slughorn to the potions classroom. He was met with the puzzling sight of Harry sitting in a chair clutching his cheek and staring across the room at Ms. Granger who didn’t seem concerned even though Ron Weasley was glaring at her from his spot next to Harry “explain” ordered Snape.
Hermione shot the two boys her patented high and mighty look “these two could never get the grades they do in potions without cheating Professor Snape. You see these two went looking in the back of the library where old textbooks are and they found a journal belonging to the ‘Half Blood Prince’. The book contained potion tips, recipes and spells. I, of course, told them to give it to you, but they clearly didn’t-”
“that is where you’re wrong Ms. Granger” Severus Snape actually felt a strong sense of smug satisfaction seeing the look of shock on Hermione’s face “Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley handed the book over to me in the first week of classes”
“but that means they copied someone’s personal journal because their grades started going up right after!” Hermione shot Harry an accusing look, but was startled to see Ron glaring ferociously back at her.
Professor Slughorn raised an eyebrow “Harry would you care to explain that?” he wanted to get this straight especially if cheating is involved.
“yes Professor … first off I was the one who decided to return the book. I admit I did make a few notes from the journal, but only on the calculation process sir. I didn’t take any recipes or spells” Harry explained. It was something personal … he knew he’d hate it if someone tried to mess with his grimoire.
Professor Snape looked at Harry intently, he nodded towards Slughorn satisfied that Harry was not lying “why only the calculations?”
Harry smiled despite having Snape looking down at him “it was beautifully detailed sir. The way it was written out actually made potions easy to understand compared to those regular textbooks, which are, frankly, confusing” Harry said and Ron nodded in agreement “who ever wrote it should write textbooks. The potion making process was so detailed and each step was broken down to the point where a monkey could understand it … and then further, so I could” Harry chuckled, but then frowned as he felt something wet and finally moved his hand from his cheek revealing a bleeding cut “ummm … Professor Slughorn my cheek is bleeding again?” Harry stated in confusion. The current potions professor made sure to heal the gash with a simple salve before going to get Professor Snape to resolve this disagreement.
The DADA professor was surprisingly very flattered at what Harry had said though he didn’t show it. Out of the corner of his eye Snape noticed Hermione slip something into her bag during the bloody distraction … a thin razor blade? Is that blade what made the cut?
“oh my! Wait here let me get some more salve” said Slughorn as he rushed over to the cabinet.
Ron pulled out a handkerchief and pressed it against the bleeding cut “this is bleeding a lot for a little cut” he moved the bloody cloth away so the professors could examine Harry’s gash trying to hide his surprise when Snape leaned over to help as he looked at an unashamed Hermione “well … where is your apology?”
“for what? You should never have hidden this from me to begin with and just asked for help studying” she huffed. Harry’s jaw dropped creating another trickle of blood and even the two professors paused to gawk at the witch, but before anyone could say a word Ron exploded …
“FOR WHAT! How about the fact that you slashed Harry’s face open?! At least say that you’re bloody well sorry for that! And as for all those times you helped before, I have this to say, Professor Snape would make a better cheerleader than you would a bloody teacher! You have zero consideration for how other people think! All you’re capable of doing is regurgitating the same crap in the books as if you think we can’t read, telling us what we should do and fanning yourself with your excellent report cards while complaining on how you were wrongly deducted one point on something! You have never helped us! If anything I think you get off sabotaging us so you can stay on top!” Ron finally stopped ranting and everything in the room was silent except for Ron’s breathless panting … the awkward silence lingered until a furious Hermione got up and stormed towards the door.
Slughorn glared at the retreating witch “Ms. Granger!” Hermione paused to look at the potions professor “consider your membership to the Slug Club revoked and for such behavior you will be spending detention Saturday and Sunday with me once the break is done and it will continue until I hear a sincere apology to Harry, is that understood?” the only response he got was Hermione slamming the door as she left “dear Merlin … was she always like this?”
Snape scoffed as he checked Harry’s gash and carefully applied more salve “she was always very high strung and self important. I’ll add a punishment of my own after break … well Mr. Potter it seems your wound has fully healed. Your rather unfortunate streak of luck is clearly still strong. Of course you would get injured minutes after Poppy leaves” Severus said as the young wizard stood up, he didn’t reveal it, but he was fascinated that Harry was taller than him … when did that happen? … and he’s so muscular now …
“I don’t know professor, my luck can’t be that bad since you and Professor Slughorn were still here” Harry said as he gratefully accepted a blood replenishing potion from Professor Slughorn.
“indeed … you should both get to lunch and be ready to leave” Snape said trying to ignore the odd flutter he felt in his chest when Harry said his luck wasn’t bad since he was there …
“yes professor” both Harry and Ron said before leaving. Harry expected a harsh comment about being cheeky like always, but none came … in fact Snape seemed much less hostile than usual and it was a relief. Ever since Mr. Weasley explained what Snape’s life at Hogwarts was like and that the man was a spy for the Order Harry realized why the man acted the way he did … it must’ve been difficult with him being James Potter’s look a like. He never held anything against Snape and just hoped the professor would see that he wasn’t his father … maybe he finally was.
Ron scowled as they headed for the dorm “I can’t believe her! What the hell is Hermione’s deal?” the red head snapped the password at the Fat lady startling her and they went to the common room where they found Ginny and a few other people getting their stuff ready.
“hey guys! Ready to go?” she asked as she was practically bouncing on her tiptoes in excitement for the holiday break.
Harry winced “umm … Ginny … there’s something I forgot to tell you … Dumbles says I can’t go-”
“What? … WHAT?! Why? That’s not fair!” Ginny looked so saddened. Harry was, as far as she was concerned, her seventh older brother. It hurt that they couldn’t spend the holidays together.
“that’s what I said” Ron growled as they sat on the couch “oh and we tried to talk to Hermione”
Ginny still looked sad as she glanced at her red haired brother “and what happened?” by the time they finished explaining what happened Ginny was fuming “I’ll murder her … but first” Ginny jumped up from the couch and grabbed her truck. The two wizards blinked as she pulled out a colorful package with Hermione’s name on it and chucked it the fire.
Ron chuckled nervously as he watched his sister poke the charring package with a fire poker with a sadistic smirk as the present crumbled away “ooook … we better go get lunch” Harry nodded quickly and made a mad dash to shove his trunk back under his bed before following them to the Great Hall.
The meal didn’t last long enough. Before Harry knew it he was standing on the platform giving Ron and Ginny their presents … minus Hermione, Ginny took that present … and waving goodbye to his friends all of which were avoiding Hermione like the plague … even Neville who saw what happened. After the train was out of sight Harry sighed and headed back into the warm castle.
“well now what … I could take my book to the library and do some research I guess” Harry sighed. This wasn’t the holiday he had planned, but he’ll make the most of it. With those occlumency lessons coming it was imperative that he figures out a way around that and he has a theory that might work. The use of wards around his mind might provide the protection he needs. He used wards on his own body to hide his scars, but the mind is far more complicated. It will require reading up on both muggle and magical books on the mind.
Thankfully his cousin Dudley fancied a girl in an advanced anatomy class and bought several books on the subject … his cousin no longer likes that girl and had no use for the books so Harry took them instead of throwing them out as his aunt instructed.
The wizard went up to the sadly empty dorms and pulled his trunk out. He was shocked to see that his grimoire was not there! Harry searched his entire trunk … he found the tools Neville gave him … the anatomy books and some pencils still shrunken and wrapped in his invisibility cloak … but no grimoire …
“what the hell? … I don’t take it out of the dorm so how …” Harry’s eyes closed as he realized who might have taken his grimoire … Hermione. This was a new low … no … no, he will give her the benefit for now.
“dammit … maybe I can retrace it” he pulled out his wand and tapped his glasses telling the frames to release a mini blue snitch. With a simple incantation the blue snitch came to life and fluttered around waiting for Harry. The Gryffindor pulled out some extra parchment, a set of mechanical pencils that were shrunken, his new tools and the shrunken books, which he put in his bag ready to start his research and headed out of the Gryffindor dorm with the snitch in the lead. The snitch took him to the Great Hall and paused in the library, which were all deserted …
Harry frowned as the snitch fluttered up to a space missing a book in the ancient runes section “so the person who took my grimoire went from my trunk to the Great Hall … most likely for lunch. Then snuck into the library to check out a book on runes” a dark eyebrow rose. Why would Hermione want that? She can’t cancel out the runes using a book from the library. Hell Bill Weasley, a professional curse breaker at Gringotts, had trouble! … and Harry has improved since then …
“is my book on the school grounds?” Harry asked and sighed as the snitch spun around in a circle indicating no … so it was most likely Hermione who took it … Harry tapped his glasses and watched the snitch vanish “oh well … nothing can be done about it. If it is Hermione I’ll find out when she gets back so I may as well get working”
After finding a table in the section of the closest to the somewhat useful magical books on the mind he went about unshrinking his things and pulling out his new tools. As he suspected the magical books weren’t all that helpful. He couldn’t help but wonder why there are no books on occlumency here. Salazar’s study he understood, the wizard’s passion was potions, but still there was more information there than in this library even if it was in the form of tiny references …
The anatomy books were much more helpful! He even found a caption that talked about deep meditation as a means of reaching the deepest parts of ones mind and things like hypnosis. If he could reach that state of his mind maybe he could set up barriers that will keep certain parts of his mind safe without it looking too suspicious to Professor Snape. All he had to do was focus on the complex functions of the brain and devise the runes that won’t conflict with them.
Just as Harry felt he was onto something someone sat down at his table … it was Draco and Blaise … and it seems Goyle was right behind him keeping him from getting up to leave …
This suddenly got awkward …
“can I help you?” Harry asked trying to look for a exit that didn’t require threatening Goyle with one of the hidden daggers in his sleeve that he took from the Room of Requirements.
“why are you here Potter?” said Draco without the usual arrogant tone … he seemed to be just curious.
Harry sighed, he never started any fights with them and he refuses to start now “an unexpected change of plans has kept me here for the holidays”
Draco glanced at Blaise before looking back at Harry “and what would that be?”
Harry clutched his chest in mock hurt “why? So you can fix it and get rid of me? Does spending Christmas with me really sound so bad that you want to know all the dirty details of my life and fix my problems? I’m hurt” a snarl or sarcastic comment should any minute now … any second … or not? Harry raised an eyebrow, the Slytherins actually seemed unsure how to respond. Were they really just curious? “to answer your question I’ve been labeled a danger to those around me and told to stay here for protection” he said as he casually went back to reading his books and subtly watched their reactions.
“what? Err … how does that make any sense? You have been nearly killed every year here. You’d be better off sleeping in Gringotts” Blaise scoffed. Harry couldn’t resist a short laugh at the thought of the goblins’ faces if he tried that.
“as hilarious as that would be I’m stuck here, headmaster’s orders” Harry flinched as he realized that he revealed too much. Not in what he said, but how he said it. As in the contempt in his tone when he said ‘headmaster’s orders’, but it was too late. The observant Slytherins heard … even Goyle seemed to notice “oook … well I better go-” Goyle placed a hand on Harry’s shoulder and forced him back down “then again staying seated sounds like a great idea. Glad to see you’re looking out for me Greg” Harry mentally snickered at the flustered look on Goyle’s face when Harry used his actual name instead of Goyle like everyone else.
Draco crossed his arms over his chest “we aren’t done here Ha-potter”
The green eyed wizard pretended not to notice the little slip “so I gathered”
“what happened back at the potions classroom after Granger mutilated you?” Blaise nearly growled startling Harry.
This entire situation was making Harry’s head spin. They really seemed concerned … did he fall into another world or something? Oh well … as long as thy weren’t giving him a hard time he won’t question it “Professor Slughorn healed my cheek, went to get Professor Snape to help clear up a few things-”
“you mean about the ‘Half Blood Prince’s’ journal” stated Draco. The only reason the blonde knew was because Severus Snape was his godfather … not that Harry knew that little fact.
“yeah” Harry mentally rolled his eyes, of course they would know. Slytherins talk “Hermione claimed that Ron and I never gave it to Professor Snape. Once the professor told her we did she still claimed that we were cheating. I explained that potions became easier when I saw the calculations written out and that was it … well I needed to be healed again-”
Blaise held up a finger silently telling Harry to be quiet “hold it. What was Granger’s punishment? You didn’t that she when she apologized”
“and what do you mean you had to be healed again?” demanded Draco.
Harry winced at the Slytherins’ tones, they weren’t pleased and they will most likely not like what he was going to say next “errr … Hermione got detention with Slughorn and she was kicked out of the Slug Club-”
“and with Professor Snape?” Draco asked.
“well Professor Snape didn’t give her punishment at the time. He seemed more focused on applying a salve to my cheek since the gash Hermione made when she slapped me reopened and was bleeding pretty badly” Harry said with a shrug hoping that this will be the end of the questions.
Draco scowled “sounds like she hit you with something that was dipped in a potion to mess with he healing process. That’s the only reason the wound would’ve opened up again. Professor Snape won’t let that go without a punishment. You didn’t answer Blaise’s question. Did she apologize? Not that it should make a difference”
The bitter laugh that escaped Harry’s lips startled the Slytherins “trust me Draco, what she said made a big difference. Her apology was her simply saying that it my and Ron’s fault for not telling her everything. She wasn’t sorry in the least”
It was obvious the Slytherins were fuming at this, but why? Not long ago Draco would’ve been cheering Hermione on, Blaise would’ve ignored it and Goyle cheering with Draco so what’s with the sudden change of heart? Before Harry could ponder the issue further the awkward silence was broken …
“I don’t remember seeing books the complex neural pathways of the brain in the library. These look like muggle books”
Harry blinked in shock and slowly turned to the last person he expected to say that out loud … Goyle who clearly looked like he was kicking himself for saying that out loud “they are my cousin’s. He wanted to toss them in the trash so I took them” Harry said still shocked that Goyle talked about the library … and now the guy had a flicker of disgust at the mention tossing a book in the trash! At least Blaise looked as stunned as him, but Draco was smirking as if he knew Goyle was a closet Ravenclaw “anyway … hey Greg were you in the library after lunch?”
Goyle actually seemed to consider playing dumb, but Draco shot him a look that screamed ‘just give it up already, you’re busted’ and he sighed “yeah why?”
“did you see Hermione here too?” asked a still slightly shocked Harry
“actually yeah. Miss high and mighty was in the Ancient Runes section trying to smuggle a book out with her” Gregory Goyle said finally giving up on the stupid henchmen pretense.
“did she have a medium sized old brown book with her? It wouldn’t look like a library book. It wouldn’t have had a title and there are runes carved in the front cover” Harry asked who was liking this Ravenclaw like side to this Slytherin.
Greg bit his lip as he thought a moment and then nodded “yes. Granger looked pissed because couldn’t open it … guess that’s why she took the Ancient Runes book, which I doubt will help. Books on runes only go over the rune symbols and simple chains, but if the person was creative then a book won’t have the answer written there. That’s a field that requires experience to break complex or creative rune chains. Why do you want to know?”
“no reason” Harry said enough though it was obvious that he was beyond pissed with the news “excuse me” the Potter made a move to shrink his things and get up, but Greg was about to push him back down like before … or try …
First Harry is stronger than the closet Ravenclaw …
Second Harry doesn’t hold back his strength very well when pissed and he was pissed …
Third Harry was taller than Goyle …
All of these facts resulted in a stunned Gregory Goyle being forced to let go of the Potter or risk being lifted and dragged away by the angry wizard …
“oh Greg! You should show this side of you more often. It’s much more pleasant” Harry called over his shoulder as he exited the library leaving three shocked Slytherins behind.
XXXXXXXXXX
Severus Snape frowned as he looked at the bloody handkerchief he managed to slip away from Ron Weasley “lets see what you’re planning Granger” he sneered as he set a cauldron up to start making a potion in the personal lab in the head of Slytherin chamber …
The professor paused to mentally wrestle over a decision before setting up another potion to simmer …
