Harry and Ron met in the library, along with fifth years Sam Manson and Tucker Foley. Tucker was a Ravenclaw and Sam was in Gryffindor. Dudley was nearby sorting books. Yes, Dudley Dursely was a wizard. Since he was a muggleborn, Lucius Malfoy the new Hogwarts headmaster had made him a servant like the house elves. Hermione was also a servant and usually worked in the kitchens.
“Any idea why Fudge is allowing this?” Harry asked, “I told him last year Lucius is a Death Eater, and he not only kept him but he made him headmaster!”
“I don’t know, you’d think even Fudge-For-Brains wouldn’t allow this” Tucker said.
“You know what; I don’t know what Fudge will allow anymore” Harry said dully.
“Well Lucius meets with him a lot” Sam said.
“You know you’d get in a lot of trouble if someone heard you” a voice said. They all jumped. It was Jazz Fenton a seventh year in Ravenclaw. Even though they were two years apart, Tucker was dating her. She was the older sister of his best friend, Danny, who was forced to be a Hogwarts ghost.
“Jazz! Don’t do that!” Sam said, “I thought you were Draco-or Blade”
“Sorry, I just want you to be careful. Professor Malfoy has stiff penalties for people who speak badly of him” Jazz said.
“You mean truthfully?” Harry asked.
“Yes, I know, but I don’t want you guys to get in trouble, I’ve seen professor Umbridge slinking around and-“Jazz noticed that Dudley had misplaced a book. “Here, let me” she went over and switched the books around in the proper order and then walked off.
“That girl has eyes in the back of her head” Ron said staring after Jazz.
“Hey pal, watch it, that’s my girlfriend you’re talking about” Tucker warned. Ron mumbled a ‘sorry’ and pretended to be studying, the others followed suit.
“Hello, hello, what have we here?” Harry groaned quietly. It was Blade Darkshadow, one of the Purebloods. The Purebloods were an elite group of students who came from ancient wizarding families. The Darkshadow family was an ancient little-known wizarding family that was mostly Welsh and Greek.
“People trying to study” Sam answered irritably, “Wow, people studying in a school, what a surprise”
“Au Contraire, Samantha” Blade said with a chuckle,”I think there’s a little more than studying going on here. Come on then, I like a good conspiracy as much as the next person”
“Stuff it Darkshadow” Ron muttered, “Keep in mind that I’m from an old wizard family too, even if the headmaster hasn’t decided to ‘favorite’ me”
“It’s not favoritism, it’s purity of blood, while your family consists mostly of wizards, you also like to dabble in the dirty affairs of mudblood lovers” Blade sneered.
“Hey! I resemble that remark” Dudley said, looking away from the bookshelf.
“I believe the term is ‘resent’ you fat idiot” Blade said.
“Shut up Blade” Tucker said.
“Alright then, I’ll inform Professor Snape of your rudeness. You know how much he likes you, Potter” Blade said. He walked off but not before Harry blurted out a comment.
“Yeah, Darkshadow, you go tell Sevvy we said hello” He smirked as Blade looked at him with a shocked expression. He stalked off and Sam gave him a warning glance.
“You’re going to get in big trouble for that” she said.
“Dude that was way awesome!” Tucker yelled, slapping the table,”But Snape is gonna be freakin’ mad”
“And Blade’s going to be smug about it, so is Malfoy” Ron said
“Mad about what?” a voice said. Harry turned around to see Timmy Weevily, a ten-year-old apprentice under Filch. He and his sister Timothia, or Timmie, did chores for Filch, usually accompanied by Cosmo, Wanda, AntiCosmo and AntiWanda, four shape shifting pixie-like creatures.
