Chapter 2

"What did you do Harry?" Sirius asked pulling back and slightly dreading the answer.

"Nothing personally, I just wrote a letter." Harry said hesitantly. He got nervous when he saw Sirius look down at the parchment and quill sitting on the desk next to them.

Concerned Sirius looked at Harry and saw how nervous the boy was. Patting the desk next to him Sirius urged Harry to sit down next to him.

"And who did you write to?" Sirius asked.

"Someone who could do something and who said they would." Harry said evasively.

"Harry James Potter you tell me right now." Sirius demanded worried.

"Voldemort." Harry said quietly scared at what Sirius's reaction would be.

"What!?" Sirius gasped breathless. "Harry, what do you mean?"

"I did what I had to. She's not good for anyone. He was the only one I could think of that had the power to get rid of her and soon. No one else was going to do anything, they were to scared of the consequences. But he wouldn't be, and he said he would get rid of her." Harry said.

"And you trust him to do this?" Sirius asked concerned. He saw Harry blush and look away for a moment. "Harry?"

"He should. It wasn't the only thing I asked him, and he hasn't gone back on my second request yet." Harry admitted.

"And what was that Harry?"

"Um… I'm sure you've heard about me and Draco Malfoy dating now." Harry said uncertainly.

"Seriously? That's what you asked for? Permission to date his right hand man's son?" Sirius asked incredulously. "Do you know how dangerous that was? For both you and Draco."

"It was a chance I took. I was tired of the fighting with Draco and I couldn't get him out of my head. When I finally realized that I liked him I was willing to take that chance. I knew that it would be difficult with us being on different sides, but I just wanted a chance." Harry admitted the last part softly. "I knew the danger, don't think I didn't. It took me forever to get the courage to write that part down and send the letter."

"It was reckless of you and you shouldn't have done so. But I guess since nothing has happened yet that is the least of our worries. What did you ask him to do about Umbridge?" Sirius sighed ignoring the Draco issue for the moment and focusing on the one at hand.

"I asked him if he could get rid of her. I didn't care how, I didn't even care if he killed her. At least I only have to deal with Voldemort about once a year directly, I can't take a whole year of her. Who knows if she is doing the same to other students in detention, we don't learn anything, she's stifling the school." Harry replied honestly.

"I'm a bit concerned about this but there isn't anything I can do." Sirius admitted. He glanced down at the paper again. "Were you going to write to him again?"

"Yes, but not about Umbridge." Harry admitted. "I wanted to ask him about tonight. He normally doesn't lie to me to much, he has to much fun bragging. And Draco's admitted to me that Voldemort is curious if he can bring me over to his side. So I figured as pissed as I am right now with him, he might tell me something. I know Dumbledore won't."

Sirius sighed and rubbed his eyes. It was late and he really wished they could have this conversation in the morning, but he figured that it was better for Harry to get this out of the way now.

"Alright, write to him, but I want to look it over." Sirius amended. "Do Ron and Hermione not know about this?"

"No, and I rather keep it that way. Thank you Sirius for being so understanding about this." Harry said with a smile.

"I try, that's what I'm here for isn't it?" Sirius said with a playful smile and ruffling Harry's messy hair.

Harry swatted the hand away with a smile.

"Harry about the door." Sirius said hesitantly. Harry looked up at him hopefully. Sirius sighed, Dumbledore may not like it that he was about to tell Harry, but no one was here to stop him this was obviously bothering Harry and a big concern to him. "First I want to know how you knew about it. How did you know about Arthur?"

Harry looked down at the desk trying to figure out how to answer. "I've been getting strange dreams for a while now, they started sometime in the summer. I keep seeing this door in a long corridor, and there's this strong feeling of want and longing to open the door. But when I get to it, its locked and I'm unable to open it. It's been this way for months. It wasn't until tonight that it changed. I wasn't only seeing his snake attack Mr. Weasley, but it was like I was in the snakes perspective. Sirius that really freaked me out, I have no idea what it meant or how. And Dumbledore won't answer or look at me." Harry said sounding scared.

Sirius frowned in concern and pulled Harry into his side. "I don't know cub, what else happened?"

"The snake went on and saw Mr. Weasley, he was dozing but woke with a start when the snake got close. The snake lunged at him and bit him. I woke up after that and we went for help immediately." Harry said worriedly.

"All I know is that there is something Dumbledore wants guarding is there. There's some sort of information in there that Voldemort wants and Dumbledore doesn't want him to know." Sirius said. "He isn't exactly sharing a whole lot with us either."

"But where is it?" Harry asked curious.

"In the department of mysteries. It was probably the corridor to the department that you saw. Even I have no clue what's back there, few do. And Dumbledore hasn't shared what it is, though I have a feeling I might know what." Sirius admitted.

"You do?" Harry asked surprised.

Sirius nodded. "I once dated a girl who worked in the department. Took forever for her to even admit she worked down there, and even longer to hint at what was down there. I know they work with experimental magic down there all sorts, its where the time turners come from. I have also heard a rumor that's where prophecies are kept. My bet is it has something to do with a prophecy."

"A prophecy?" Harry asked his mind going to Professor Trelanewy and the prophecy she had given him at the end of his third year. "Why that?"

"Your dad once mentioned something like a prophecy to me. It was one of the reasons they went into hiding, at least fidelius charm wise. I have a feeling that was what caused Voldemort to go after your parents, but I don't know what it was about." Sirius informed him.

Harry leaned back surprised. He hadn't thought it was something like that. Though truthfully he hadn't know what it was, maybe something like a weapon.

"Harry whatever happens, and whatever you decide, My priority is you. Always has been always will be, ever since the first moment I saw you and was named your godfather." Sirius told him.

"Thanks Sirius." Harry replied smiling softly.

Suddenly the library door opened and Remus entered with a huff.

"There you two are!"

"Remus!"

"Padfoot, what is with you tonight. Why have you locked yourself and Harry in here together. There are a bunch of anxious Weasley's standing out here complaining that you ran off after Harry." Remus replied coming next to the two concerned. "Is everything alright?"

"They were right outside the door?" Harry asked concerned. He was remembering the twins extendable ears. The conversation he had just had with Sirius wasn't really one he wanted any Weasley's finding out about.

"Don't worry, I put up a silencing charm and locked the door when you started yelling at me." Sirius told him causing relief to flow threw him. Remus looked in concern at the two of them.

"Sirius?"

"You can tell him if you trust him with what I told you." Harry told his godfather. "I think I am going to go upstairs and work on this letter. I need to send something to Draco anyways, he'll probably freak when he see's me gone in the morning."

"Harry," Remus called out just as Harry was about to leave. "This relationship with Draco, is it serious between you two?"

"I really like him strange as it is. For the moment it is serious, though I have no idea if it will last. I hope it does." Harry admitted to both men who nodded and let him leave.

"Harry is everything alright?" Ron asked as Harry came out of the library.

"Fine." Harry replied with a shrug. "I need some time along. I'll talk to you in the morning."

"Mum sent a patronus, dad's going to be alright." Ginny called out as Harry left. He just nodded and continued up the stairs.
