A/N: I apologize for the late post. I have been celebrating my birthday, which is this upcoming tuesday, and I haven't had a lot of time on my hands. I hope you enjoy this chapter. <3

Draco couldn't stop looking at the ring on his finger. He wore the fifth one on his finger and the other were hung on a chain around his neck, along with the other necklace. It was on the way back to Hogwarts, the train was silent, and he noted that no one but the Slytherins were returning, knowingly he smirked and nodded to Pansy and Blaise, who rubbed their ears thrice, as did he and then no longer communicated for the rest of the trip.

------------

At the school, everyone were seated in the makeshift common rooms, and felt dread fill their bones. "Oh come on guys!" Neville exclaimed, as he eyed Ginny who had rubbed her nose, their tell to begin. "If Harry was here, he wouldn't want us all to be so grim!" He said and stood up, walking over to the entrance of their room.

Seamus stood and glared at Neville. "Well he ain't here! Is he?! He and his little friends! Up and left. And his ex is harrassing us, constantly." Seamus yelled out. He may have helped find the Horcrux but that was for Ginny and Neville, not Harry. And since no one was let in on the plans, well... It was easier to hate people if you held your distance.

"Yeah Seamus... I suppose you're right..." A voice said from the dark corridor of their entrance. Neville smiled and stepped aside, letting in Harry, Hermione and Ron. "OMG!" Many exclaimed, jumping up with wide grins. Seamus' eyes were wide as he stared at the three.

They were dirty and thin, their clothes had holes in them and their hair had grown quite long in the time that they had been gone. "Hey guys." Hermione said and waved. "We need your help." Ron said and everyone nodded eagerly, ready for anything.

------------

Time seemed to pass in slow motion as the large group of students walked down the steps and into the Great Hall in military formation. The death eaters pushing and glaring at them with minutes in between. The Slytherin house already stood in the room, none of them looking back at the group that entered, if they had, they would have seen that it was significantly smaller than the week before.

Snape however, noticed. He also noticed which were gone and took a breath, with his stone cold face and voice he turned to Fenrir and said. "Where are the students." He demanded to know, making the death eaters look at the large groups. "All are accounted for... Sir." Fenrir said with a snarl, hating that Snape ranked above him.

"I can assure you. They are not."

"Some have been locked in the dungeon due to missbehaviour, and talking back. Filch is taking care of them."

Fenrir bared his teeth as he looked at the man. An omnious feeling ran through the room, sending shivers down everyones backs. Harry was standing in front of the Slytherins, wearing a death eater mask, wand in hand and arms crossed. Ron stood in front of the Hufflepuffs, also in a mask, with his arms crossed and a powerful dominance over him, his hair glamoured to be blonde while he wore the mask.

Bellatrix growled as she realized what Snape was hinting at. "I don't care about those useless Gryffindor children!" She screeched and Snape sent her a glare, but the woman had turned to Harry. "YOU! UNMASK YOURSELF!"

She yelled and Harry turned his face to Snape, making the woman huff frustrated. "SEVERUS!" She whined and the black haired man waved his hand for Harry to do as asked.

Harry did and Bellatrix' eyes widened. "You and your lot are supposed to be out camping to find the blood traitors!" She yelled and Harry cleared his throat. "Master Snape called me back here to guard the children." He said, his voice deep and meaningful. The Hogwarts students however, stared at him with wide eyes, having not noticed anyone standing there, before now.

"SEVERUS! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! YOU KNOW THE DARK LORD WANTS HARRY POTTER DEAD!" She yelled at the man who sent her a glare. "Bella. Why don't you go kiss his feet for all I care." Snape said and Bella pouted, before turning into black smoke and leaving through a broken window.

"Fenrir. I want the blood traitors here, now!" Snape demanded and then looked over at Harry, who sent him a smirk. "You. Come up here." He said, pointing to the boy. Harry wasn't sad that they did not recognize him, his hair was past his shoulders by now, and greasy, and he wore many more scars on his face (and on his body, but in this moment that was irrelivant) than he had when they last met.

While Harry walked up to the man, his eye caught McGonagall, who's breath hitched and she stared as he walked up to the black haired man. "What's your name..." Severus said, eyeing Harry. "Yes, it is actually quite unfortunate." Said Harry and sighed. "My name is Harry."

Ron let out a snort and all eyes went to him. "Unmask yourself!" A death eater said and Ron hummed, nodding his head and waving his wand over his face, making it reveal itself and the charm over his hair wearing off.

"Bloody hell mate!" He exclaimed and the Hogwarts students began to whisper among themselves, while the death eaters all raised their wands at him.

"How do you lot breathe in that?" Ron asked, waving a hand before his face. "I don't know Ronald." A masked figure said, stepping forward and unmasking herself, showing the face of Hermione Granger. "It is truly difficult." She said and smirked. "Mate? You about done?" Ron called up to the ravenette, who's eyes shone, a smirk on his lips. "Pleasure to see you again, Professor." He said, bowing to the man before him, before raising his wand at the man.

"Harry Potter." Snape said and eyed the boy, not pulling his wand out. "SEVERUS! Have you lost your damn mind?! Draw your wand!" Some fat man exclaimed and Snape raised his hand at him. "All in due time. I will take care of this, you all go gather the forces." He said and didn't remove his eyes from Harry, who, when all the left over death eaters were gone, sighed and lowered his wand.

"HARRY!" A voice from the crowd yelled out and Harry looked over there with a bright smile. "Hello Dray." He said and the blonde came running up, but didn't reach the boy, being snatched up by McGonagall, pulling him back. A few of the students restraining him.

Harry furrowed his brows and just looked at them all, Draco's scared face and the wands that were now under his chin. "What the hell are you all doing?" He yelled out, just as the doors opened, showing all the Gryffindors, and the Phoenix Order running through. "Harry!" Many gasped and then Hermione and Ron came into view, smiling at the crowd.

Harry however, was far too angry to deal with them at this moment, and Remus noticed this. "Let go of Mr. Malfoy this instant!" He said and pried the students off of the blonde, who gasped for air afterwards, McGonagall still had her wand raised at Severus' head, making the ravenette gulp. "Why should we?!" Seamus yelled, eyeing Draco, who stood still, not daring to move. Remus eyed the Gryffindors as if they were stupid.

"He's Harry's boyfriend and mate!" He said and Dean scoffed. "Malfoy has done nothing but torture us and use Harry's name with disgust ever since he came back! Having prided himself with having used Harry for information!" He exclaimed and Harry groaned, looking at Snape and whispering something to him, to which the man nodded and then Harry walked over to the crowd.

"You're all idiots." He said and Draco turned to him with a loving smile. The whole school looked with wide eyes, as Pansy and Blaise also walked over. "You need a haircut..." Blaise said and grimaced at Harry's hair, making the ravenette let out a laugh. "Nah man! It's hot!" Pansy said and winked at Harry.

"Yeah, means I can braid his hair at the wedding!" She squealed and Harry's eyes widened as he looked at Draco. "Really?" He asked and Draco nodded, holding up his hand and pulling out the necklace with the four house rings in it. "Really really." Draco said and Harry pulled him into a loving kiss, making the students even more confused.

"Also." Harry said, drawing back from the kiss. "NOW SEV!" He yelled and the man erupted into smoke, leaving with haste. McGonagall trying to cast spells after him, and turning to Harry.

"Why?!"

"He has some unfinished business to attend..."
