Harry took Neville and Hermione into the dorm and asked Seamus for privacy.

Seamus muttered good-naturedly the entire time he was leaving, but left in a relatively good mood.

“Severus has given us permission to use his rooms for our research.” He said.

Neville’s eyes widened. “Even me?” He asked.

Harry nodded. “For once. He got an order. To let the Hopefuls use his room. That means you, too.” He said. “Just nobody touch anything. He'll know.”

Hermione smiled. “Still, that’s safer than here, where anyone can walk in or be listening in. There is such a thing as recording spells. And the only spells to detect them are Dark.” She warned.

Harry nodded. “So I’ll probably learn one sometime.” He mused.

“Well, until you do, this is the best option we have. Thank him for me.” She said.

Harry grinned. “Which one?” He asked.

Hermione thought for a second. “Both.” She decided.

Harry smiled. “Will do. We're heading to Gringotts tomorrow, with the cover that we’re expanding my wardrobe, so I will come back with books and clothes. I’m also grabbing a book on prophecies concerning the Selwyn line, because the wording in my mother’s journal about me and Tom seems off.” He explained.

Hermione nodded. “People have faked prophecies before, it’s best to look into it further.”

“My thoughts exactly.” Harry agreed.

“Alright, I’m going to go get ready for bed. You two get ready, too. We have a busy day tomorrow. Defence and Potions and Charms all in the same day.” She muttered, shaking her head. “It’s madness!”

Harry and Neville watched her go in amusement, then got their things ready and headed for showers.

“What do you think you'll find about the prophecy?” Neville asked, as they both got under the sprays of water.

“Honestly, I hope I find that it's true, and Dumbledore just gave her false details, because if the whole thing is false, Tom went after and killed my Mum for no reason. And he tries not to do that. If Dumbledore goaded him into killing an innocent Witch, he’s going to be so angry.”

Neville sighed. “Yeah, probably. Most of his followers won’t care much, though.” He pointed out.

Harry rolled his eyes. “Most of his followers are mad anyway.” He muttered. “That’s why Tom has to rule them with an iron fist.”

“You have to do what you have to do.” Neville agreed, nodding.

*****

Harry and Severus stepped up to the counter. “We need to see Ragnok, please.”

The goblin nodded and went to get him.

When he got there, Severus nodded to him. “Harry would like to get an inheritance test done, then needs to see the Selwyn vault for artefacts.”

Ragnok nodded. “Just a moment.” He drew out a length of parchment. “Prick a finger. This one will need three drops.” He explained. “Standard procedure for the Selwyns, they need the four-generation test before access can be granted.” He told Severus.

Severus nodded. “Smart.” He said as Harry's parchment filled.

They looked over the parchment.

It read:

Harry's eyes widened and Severus cursed, running his finger down the page.

“Dumbledore must never see this.” Severus muttered, looking over Harry’s grandparents.

“I'll say! Look down here! I'm Lord Gryffindor!” He pointed out.

Severus saw the line and snorted. “I’m not surprised in the least.” He said.

“Well, at least we know it's me. I'll never tell, so Tom’s cover is safe.” Harry said.

Severus sighed. “We need a copy of that.” He told Ragnok.

Ragnok nodded. “Of course.” He made a copy and handed it over. “You wanted to visit a vault?” He asked.

Harry nodded. “Yes. Whichever Selwyn vault holds the artefacts. I think the information I got before said it was 785.”

Ragnok smiled. “That sounds right, My Lord. This way.”

Harry’s eyes met Severus' in shock at the formal address.

Severus shook his head. “Lord Gryffindor. He was counted as Goblin Friend. They will respect you unless you give them reason not to for as long as you hold that title.” He explained.

Harry just sighed and followed the goblin to the cart.

The ride down (and down) to the vault was exhilarating, and Harry was winded when they finally stopped. He grinned and got out on wobbly legs.

“I'll wait here.” Severus said firmly.

Harry laughed and went into the vault, looking around. “So how am I supposed to find the books I need?” He asked the goblin.

The goblin pointed at a bookshelf. “All of them are there, in Alphabetical order. The Selwyns were very organized.” He said.

Harry huffed. “That gene skipped me.” He muttered, seeing the book he wanted most on the top shelf. He cursed under his breath and tried jumping for it. After three jumps, a hand reached out and plucked it from the shelf.

Harry turned to see Severus, holding out the book to him with an amused expression.

He grinned sheepishly. “Thanks.” He turned back and got the second book from a middle shelf. “This is what we need.” He said.

Severus chuckled. “Good. Let’s get back up and get you to Madame Malkin's. You need new clothes, too.”

Harry sighed. “Yeah, if only for appearances.”

They took the cart back up and said their goodbyes, then left.

Time for more clothes shopping.

*****

Harry got back to Hogwarts just in time to put his things away in the drawer Severus had set aside for him and rush to dinner.

He sat down between Neville and Hermione and Hermione asked, “Got them?”

Harry nodded. “Got them.” He confirmed.

“Tomorrow?” Neville checked.

Another nod. “Tomorrow. After breakfast.”

Hermione and Neville nodded their agreement and they all settled in to eat.

After dinner, Draco came by and stopped behind the Weasley twins.

Harry smiled, leaning back a bit to watch.

“Oi! Weasleys!” Draco said sharply, smirking when they faced him warily. “Heard you wanted to talk?” He asked much more nicely.

Fred and George nodded excitedly.

“Then follow me. I know just the place.” He purred, then turned to wink at Harry.

Harry had been very glad the day before when he had mentioned the twins wanting to talk to him and Draco had seemed receptive. Interested. He shot Draco a thumbs-up as the blond turned to lead the way.

Murmuring started up.

If a Weasley and a Malfoy were going to become friends—or more—what other unlikely alliances would follow?

Things were shaking up.

And Harry seemed to be at the heart of it all.
