HARRY POTTER STORY: Lions in snake den

Prologue Part 1

After saving Sirius Black from certain death both Harry and Hermione used the time turner that Hermione was using throughout the year to go back to the point in where they first left to help Sirius, Ron was baffled as one second they where gone the next they reappeared. Ron then said "wait a minute where did you both come from" Harry and Hermione both looked at each other and Harry replied "what do you men mean mate" Ron brushed it off as he thought that is was a side affect of one of the potions Madam Pomfrey gave him.

As soon as Dumbledoor was informed of Sirius' escape he asked Professor McGonagall to get him both Harry and Hermione.

"Mr.Potter and Miss Granger the headmaster would like to see you before you both leave for the Hogwarts Express, the password is Toffees". Both Harry and Hermione thanked the professor and when straight to the headmasters office "what do you think Dumbledoor wants from us" Harry asked Hermione "I don't know Harry could it be something to do with Sirius" both were think that wasn't the case as it was Dumbledoor who gave them the idea to save Sirius in the first place even thought his way of communicating was quite cryptic. Harry and Hermione arrive at the Headmasters office and both said Toffees the door opens and they quickly saw Dumbledoor sitting down eating what seemed to be licorices. "Ah Harry's boy and Miss Granger thank you for seeing me just before you leave care for a lemon drop" whilst saying this there was some sort of twinkle in his eyes something both Hermione and Harry caught on, "no thanks professor we're both alright" Dumbledoor looked at them and proceeded to tell them "Harry I have heard from professor Lupin that you are now able to produce a patronus charm which itself is a N.E.W.T level charm I am incredibly proud, as for you Hermione you grades themselves are extraordinary and I hope you can keep up the good work you produce l day in and day out." After finishing what he wanted to say he put on a grandfatherly smile "Thank you professor" both Harry and Hermione said "Right It's best time that you both head off for the train have a good holiday and don't get into too much trouble"

After that Hermione and Harry arrived to where the train would pick the student up to take them back to kings cross station unfortunately due to them spending so much time talking to Dumbledoor about things which in their minds wasn't too important they where unable to find the compartment in which Ron was in as a result they settled for one which was empty. Whilst on the train going home Harry was in a deep sate of mind trying to figure out if what he done was either right or wrong should he have let Sirius kill Peter or should have they used a spell to apprehend him and stop him from Turing back into a rat to escape. Whilst Harry was in his state Hermione was in her own what people didn't know is that when going back to live with her parents they would quickly give her muggle work to prepare her for GCSES as they thought going to a wizards school would not help her in the future out loud she was saying "What will they make me do this time? Why can't I just have one normal summer? Will they send me to a private school again?" At the same time Harry finally snapped out of his thoughts but then started to say to him self "Will I be treated like a house elf again? Hopefully I won't pass out like last year? How many beatings will I receive?" What the two friends didn't realise is that the compartment door was slightly open

15 minutes earlier

So Draco what will you be doing over the holidays, "Well Father and Mother are taking me to Greece what about you Daphne?" "Similar to you I am also going on holiday abroad with my Farther, Mother and younger Sister however we are set to be going to France" Whilst talking Draco and Daphne meet up with their fellow house mates these being; Blaze, Tracy, Theodore and Pansy after meeting up with their friends they went to find a compartment to sit and talk as they where all previously separated whilst walking they see a slightly open compartment and what they saw was two out of the three Golden trio before Draco could enter they heard Hermione say "Will they send me to a private school again?" The Slytherin friends looked at each other in with a confused look but that look quickly turned into both shock, horror and intrigued when out of the Golden boys mouth came these few sentences "Will I be treated like a house elf again? How many beatings will I receive?" After hearing that the group of Slytherins quickly left quickly and found a empty compartment. 

"What they bloody hell are they talking about?!" Draco questioned when all of his friends were inside and the compartment doors where closed properly, Theodore was the first to speak "In regards to what Granger said I have heard of these place called private schools which are supposed to be for prestigious people parents pay high price for there children to go there to get an education" Blaze then said "Then the reason to why her parents are doing this is why exactly" Daphne then said "because they probably believe that Granger won't get a high paying job when she finishes Hogwarts, however what I am also interested in is what Potter said" Tracy then chimes in saying "Yes I have to agree the Golden Boy is usually all happy yes he gets angry but I have never heard him saying things like that what are your thoughts Draco" 

For a while there wasn't a sound until Draco finally said "Well if he said that then it's obvious that he is getting abused not only that but It also gives the impression that his relatives hate him as well as his magic however we can only speculate.  However if we want to prove this we best follow Potter and see what his relatives have to say to him when he gets off the train in the mean time I will message my Farther about the information we just found out Daphne you might want to do the same as both of our Father's have a lot of power in Wizengamot" Daphne then says "Okay I'll do that right now"

Back with Harry and Hermione once they finished talking to themselves they talked to each other in regards to past adventure and hopefully no new once's but the end they decide that they would it sleep the rest of the journey.  When the train arrived both got up and went to get their trunks Hermione got hers first and the Harry followed before going to there separate families they said their goodbyes and promised to write to each other whenever they could.  Unbeknownst to them was that Draco and Blaze where following Harry and Daphne and Tracy was following Hermione.
