A/N- howdy y'all! thank you so much for your continued support, and for sticking around this long. I am hoping to finish up fourth year here soon because I have a lot of new stuff in mind. Hopefully we get to finish it all haha, but again, thank you for reading, and please let me know what you are thinking. I know it's been rough lately with the Elle and Draco storyline, because there are so many things I want to do, but a buildup needs to happen first.

also, I will be releasing a new story later this week (hopefully), so be on the lookout for that!

On with the show... or.. the reading!

Adrian looked visibly perturbed.

"What do you mean 'Be our Harry Potter'?"

Adrian stared at the two children in front of him, waiting for a response.

"We mean, We get rid of Harry and you take his spot." Ron said. This made Adrian hesitate for a few more moments. You could visibly see the wheels turning in his head trying to figure out what they meant.

"How would that even work? I don't have the power he has. He's the boy-who-lived."

"It is very easy to..." Hermione paused, "Transfer some power from Harry to you." she finished. Adrian was slowly buying into the idea.

"What about Harry, isn't he your friend?"

"He's no friend of mine." Ron said, turning his back to Adrian and crossing his arms. The mention of Harry made Ron visibly upset and the pouting was very awkward for Adrian and Hermione to witness.

"Geez, what happened between you two?"

"There are some... harsh feelings that Ron has for Harry. I'll explain later." Hermione said as Ron was still turned around, having his 'fit'. Adrian wasn't going to question it any further. He would get his answers in due time.

"What do you or I get out of me doing what you want?" Adrian asked.

"Well," Hermione started, "If you join us, you will get your reputation as a good person back. By joining the Golden Trio, people will see that you've changed, you are now a child of the light, the only hope for the wizarding world."

"Harry will still be there-"

"Let me finish!" Adrian threw his hands up in surrender, letting her have her way. "What we would do is we would transfer some of Harry's power over to you, so that you can convince others to follow you. Make you look like the chosen one without even flicking a wand." Hermione was interrupted by Ron.

"Then, we are going to kill Harry-"

"Woah woah woah-" Hermione started

"Wait WHAT?!" Adrian exclaimed at the same time. He could not believe what he had just heard. Why did they want to KILL Harry? Sure, there may be some slight beef between Harry and Ron, but not worth killing him over.

"Why do you want to take such a drastic measure?" Adrian asked.

"Yeah, I did NOT agree to this!" Hermione exclaimed, growing more frustrated by the second. Adrian didn't mind killing Harry off, he was never a fan of the guy, but he had to have a valid reason for taking such measures before he actually went through with it.

"Hermione, if you must know," Ron started, "Both you and I have never liked Harry. To be completely frank, I think he's a slimy git who is too obsessed with the fact that he doesn't have any parents." Adrian and Hermione nodded their heads in agreement, motioning for him to continue. "Noting this, and the fact that he gets everything he ever desires out of pity and fear, I'm not very fond of him anymore. It is safe to say that if we can convince others that Harry is not necessary, he won't be missed when he is gone."
