Chapter 3

(Hogsmeade station)

After the train stopped, Harry, Hermione and Neville had got off and started to go to the carriages. The other students had seen them, Ron had gone over to them. "Where have you two been?" He said, ignoring Neville. Of course, how can you ignore anyone the size of a freaking bull moose is beyond me. Harry and Hermione just looked at him like he had lost his mind.

"Hermione?" Asked Harry.

"Yes Harry?" She said.

"Question; was it our shift to watch over Weasley?"

"No, I don't think it was."

"Neville? Do you work for Weasley?" Neville, whose hair was now in a ponytail. Shook his head as he glared at him. "I don't work for you! So, why in the Bloody blue Hell we should tell you about where the hell we've been? And don't lie saying you were concerned, you're asking for Dumbledore. Aren't you?" Ron was about to berate Neville and Hermione when they both glared at him.

"I had said if you bother us again. I'd feed you to Hagrid's spiders. Hate to be a liar." Ron was getting scared and left so fast, there were skid marks.

"Well, that was easy." Said Hermione, they got into a carriage and took off for the castle.

(Hogwarts)

The carriages landed and the ring bearers got off then head into the castle only to be stopped by 'Lubey McGreasey' himself, Severus Snape. Harry rolled his eyes, "here we go." He sighed, "what now 'Greasey'?"

"Again you…" He started.

"And again, you run your damn mouth. Thinking you can't be touched. You're Teflon, Eliot Ness, well neither can I. Compared to me, you are garbage. You are nothing but Dumbledore's cock-sleeve. Admit it, you are nothing more than that!" Snape was getting mad, "what's the matter, Severus? Truth hurt, you can't get a woman, you don't have any friends and the only thing you can do is play the victim." He walked around Snape, "oh poor little Sevy, the Marauders just pulled harmless pranks and called him names so he would destroy the only 'true' friend he had and she married his main rival."

"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING BOY!" He screamed that was until he saw Harry holding up a diary. He opened it up and started to read from it. It told of his mother's friendship with him and what ended it. He tried to snatch it away from Harry when he was kicked in the nuts.

"I guess I do know something huh Professor?" He said, "Let's go guys." So they walked into the castle and went to the Great Hall.

(Great Hall)

Harry, Neville and Hermione had gone to their table and sat down. "You said, you think that something big is going to happen and you are going to be involved in it Harry." Said Hermione, "do you have any idea what it'll be?"

Harry shook his head, "no." He sighed, "but it's going to be dangerous." Then they had seen a new teacher that Dumbledore had hired as Defense Against the Dark Arts. He was a man in his mid-50s to early-60s, dressed in black robes, a shirt, cargo pants and boots. He had thinning red hair, a hazel eye and a magical one, scars all over his face and his left leg was fake as well.

Dumbledore had told the students that there wasn't going to be any Quidditch that year but there was a reason. He told them about a tournament that was going to happen that year, a tournament that people could die in. Harry just sighed and nodded his head. "That's it," he said. Hermione and Neville looked at him.

"The Tri-Wizard Tournament?" She said, Harry nodded.

"Yep,"

"We got your back brother." Said Neville as he grabbed his shoulder. Hermione kissed Harry on the lips. Snape had seen that and stuck his nose into their business.

"POTTER! GRANGER! LONGBOTTOM! 100 Points and Detention with me!" He screamed.

"May I ask what for?" Said Harry.

"I don't need a reason!"

"Oh really? I think you do." The ring bearers stood up and walked over to the head table.

"SIT DOWN OR I'LL MAKE SURE…!"

"Bluffing, cause if we leave, we ain't ever coming back. We'll open up the biggest can of worms this country has ever seen. The Minister will be destroyed and the people with call for your head." Snape started to gulp, "Al will excommunicate you and basically throw you out of Hogwarts and deliver you to the DMLE just to save his own ass. All because you wouldn't let anything go. Come on guys, let's go." Dumbledore paled as 'Moody' spoke up.

"Sit down boy!" He said, "everyone needs to take their lumps!"

"And you should know 'Fugly'. I've been taking my lumps, for 14 fucking years! Don't Tell Me What I Need To Do! You Should've Stayed Home A Been A Family Man!"

"Potter Sit Down!" Said Snape, "You're Not Going Anywhere!"

"Fuck You, Snape!"

"SIT DOWN OR I'LL…"

"YOU'LL WHAT? YOU WANNA GO, BITCH? LET'S GO!"

"Please I'll…"

"What? Kill me? You were a coward during my father's time and you're a coward now." Snape glared at Harry and Harry glared back, not backing down. Who was going to blink? Snape 'blinked', "come on guys." They were about to leave when Dumbledore spoke up.

"What do you want?" He said.

"You already know Albus."

"But I can't…"

"You're the Supreme Mugwump! Or are you lying?"

"Alright, I'll do it. I'll free Sirius and Severus, I will have to fire you as potions professor and head of Slytherin." Snape and Malfoy were in shock.

"But…" Snape said, "you're just going to give in to his demands?"

"He leaves, we lose. That happens, I'll make sure you go to Azkaban and stay there!"

"You can do that! We Had A Deal!"

"And you were supposed to let things go. Let me guess that was Potter's fault?" He looked at Harry. "I'll have a new head of house for Slytherin in by next week."

"Let me make a suggestion; Sirius." Said Harry, Snape paled. He and Draco were praying that he wouldn't take that suggestion, Dumbledore nodded.

"Alright, we'll stay." Said Harry, with that they sat back down.
