Chapter One
Moody Had The Right Idea- Hip Flask


The sun rose slowly over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry, although Harry didn\'t notice this because the Hogwarts dungeons lacked windows (as do all dungeons, Snape\'s quarters yielding no exceptions). The sun wasn\'t the only thing rising slowly that morning. Harry woke up to the sound of Snape puttering around in his study. Harry groggily sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes.

\'What time is it Sev?\'

\'Time for you to grab your invisibility cloak and head back to bed, your bed. I don\'t see how you can sleep so well, and so much.\'

\'Well I don\'t see how you could be up so early after last night,\' Harry said with a smirk. Harry stood up and walked over to where his cloak was so carelessly dropped on the floor last night.

\\Who ever has time to worry about the morning after during the night of?// Harry smiled to himself. He magicked his clothes clean and put them on. While he was tying his shoes, Snape walked over to where he was sitting and kissed his forehead.

\'I love you Harry, you know that?\'

\'I know Sev, I love you too. I wish it didn\'t have to go on this way though. But as long as I get to see you, I wont complain.\' Harry wrapped his arms around Snape\'s waist.

\'You better hurry up and get going, it\'ll be time for breakfast soon.\'

\'Righto, see you in class today… Professor.\' Harry grinned as he slid on his invisibility cloak and headed for the door.

\'Brat!\' Snape shouted as he heard the portrait open and then close. \'I do love you though.\' He sighed as he went back to work preparing for the double Potions class later on that afternoon with Slytherin and Gryffindor.

~~~

Harry walked into the boy\'s dormitory and took of his cloak. As he did, Seamus heard the door open and turned around and greeted him.

\'Mornin\' Harry, blimey, how can you get up so early, look at you, already dressed!\'

\'I\'m just a morning person I guess, heh.\'

\'Well, I\'ll see you at breakfast then!\'

~~~

\'Harry, I really don\'t like it when you sneak off on your little trips to you know who!\' Hermione whispered as Harry took a bite off a roll.

\'Don\'t bother Hermione you know he loves him. You\'ll never get him to quit.\' Ron looked at Harry. \'Just be extra careful, that\'s all. You just have to wait till the end of this year, then the two of you are free to do as you please.\'

\'Yeah, I know Ron. And thanks Hermione, I know you care, but Ron\'s right, I can\'t -I won\'t- quit seeing him.\'

\'It\'s simple Harry, just don\'t get caught!\' Ron said with his mouth full.

\'Git\' replied Harry. The three of them laughed. But at a neighboring table, there was anything but laughter.

~~~

\\Damn that Potter! He saw him again last night, I know it!// Thought Draco angrily.

\'Draco, hand me the butter\' said Pansy Parkinson.

\'Get your own damn butter, I\'m busy.\' Draco hissed angrily. Pansy scowled and Draco went back to thinking.

\\It\'s just wrong! I know what I must do about it though.//

Draco stood up and walked over towards where Harry, Hermione, Ron were sitting.

\'So Potter, still making friends with the wrong sort, eh?\' Draco\'s eyes flashed suspiciously towards the seat that was now occupied by the Potions Master. Harry seemed to be the only one to see this.

\'Seeing as how I don\'t hang around with you voluntarily, no, I am not making friends with the wrong sort Draco. I suggest you get out of here, now.\'

Harry turned his back to Draco to face his friends and they kept talking.

\\Perfect Potter, keep your backed turned, that\'s right.// Draco thought as he pulled out a small vial of an unidentifiable liquid and drained it into Harry\'s goblet of pumpkin juice. He smiled to himself as he walked away.

~~~

At the head table, Snape\'s attention was being somewhat kept by one of the Professors. He glanced occasionally in Harry\'s direction, especially when he saw Draco approach. \\This cant be good.// He thought. \\Draco looks determined. Yes this is definitely bad.//

Snape watched as Draco and Harry spoke. \\Good love, just ignore him. Wait, did Draco look at me?//

Snape kept a close eye on Draco; he hadn\'t left when Harry turned away. \\Why?// Snape\'s view was partially obscured by Granger\'s mane, but he thought he saw Draco do something with Harry\'s goblet. \\Damn!//

~~~

As Ron and Hermione laughed, Ron muttering something along the lines of \"bouncing ferret\", Harry raised his goblet to his lips.

\\Yes! Harry, drink it…//

\\No Harry! Don\'t drink it! Damn, there\'s nothing I can do! How suspicious would it be to stand up and shout, \"don\'t drink it Potter!\"//

Harry downed his goblet, wiped his mouth and said, \'That\'s unusual, the pumpkin juice is a little bitter today.\'

\'No its not Harry,\' said Hermione.

Harry looked at Hermione, and then at Ron, who nodded his head, agreeing with Hermione.

\'Then…\' But Harry didn\'t finish. Almost immediately, he clasped his throat. Gasping for air, he fell backwards onto the hall floor. Everyone near by heard the thud and turned to see what it was.

Right before Harry finished his juice, Snape had quietly made his way down from the head table, and made himself look like he was casually strolling out of the hall. So when Harry fell to the floor, he quickly walked over.

\'Miss Granger, what\'s going on?\'

\'I don\'t know! Het fit finished his pumpkin juice, said it tasted bitter, then…\'

\'Mr. Weasly, take him to Madame Pomfrey, immediately! He\'s been poisoned.\'
