The memory ends and I look at the others. My brother looks at the headmaster.
"Did you know, sir, then?"
"Did I know I just met the most dangerous dark wizard of all time? No. If I had, I... Over time while here at Hogwarts, Tom Riddle grew close to one particular teacher. Can you guess who that teacher might be?"
I step closer to my godfather and frown.
"You didn't bring Professor Slughorn back simply to teach potions, did you, sir?"
He looks at me and Harry, he looks down at the bowl.
"No, I did not. You see, Professor Slughorn possesses something that I desire very dearly. He will not give it out easily."
"You said Professor Slughorn would try to collect to me."
"I did."
"Do you want me to let him?"
"Yes."
Harry turns and stares into space, I feel bad. This isn't something he needs to get between.

I was walking through the halls and I had seen draco.
"Draco"
He turns to slowly face me, I walk closer to him. I grab his hand and frown.
"What are you doing out this late."
"Nothing"
"Draco, this is me you're talking to. I know you, you're father has you doing something dangerous."
He glares at me but I step back.
"Look just promise me one thing."
"What is that"
"Promise me that you'll be careful, you won't get hurt or into to much trouble."
"Alexis."
"Promise"
"I promise"
I lean up and kiss his cheek, I step away and walk off. I make it to my chambers and I sit up on the window sill. I can see the waterway from here to the ocean.
"Draco what have you gotten yourself into."

I decided I was going to watch the new gryffindor tryouts. I sit down beside hermione and she smiles.
"So you have a thing for the blonde."
"Oh lord no"
"Hermione this is me your talking about. I can't blame you, he is kinda cute."
"Kinda"
"I'm just messing with you, I have my own blonde."
She looks at me and smiles, she turns towards me.
"Who"
"Okay, so this morning, I'm gonna be putting you all for a few drills just to assess you straight."
I smile at her and turn towards Harry and the others.
"Quiet, please!"
Ginny yells and I smile at the young girl.
"Shut it!"
"Thanks."
He smiles at her and turns back towards the men.
"Alright, um, now then, remember, just because you made the team last year does not guarantee you a spot this year. Is that clear?"
They shake their heads and I glance at him.
