"I can't believe this" Hermione whispered once Filch had gone and their detention had finished for the night.
"I know" Ron whispered back "first Snape and all the teachers but now he's even got Filch to like him!"
"What I don't understand is why? What could possibly make him want to befriend Filch? Filch isn't powerful and from what I've heard he's a squib and nobody ever wanted to get to know him"
"That's because his a git" Ron replied "but it doesn't make sense to me either, why waste time on filch"
"Well I have a theory but it is a little bit ridiculous" Hermione looked at the face that Ron gave her and continued "well just hear me out before you say anything. Harry was supposed to be Muggle raised like me but somehow he managed to come to school and perform at a level far beyond any first year should be able to.
In first year he not only befriends Ginny but the two also become hopelessly devoted to each other, he also steals Dumbledore's Phoenix, he may say he didn't but he basically did. He has more elves than a pureblood, some of which he told to work with the other elves who now want to work with him. He also jumped over all the first years at the sorting ceremony and got past all of Dumbledore's traps and defeated Quirrell and killed him, even more impressive is the fact that the rumours say he was possessed by you-know-who. I also find the fact that he lied to your mother at the end of the year to be interesting as well.
In our second year, even though I have to admit I was wrong about Lockhart, he still disrespected him and I know he was behind all of those pranks.
He also for some reason wanted your dad to show the spell on Scabbers and then he ended up becoming revealed as Peter Pettigrew. He also duelled with you two if it was second nature and when Malfoy pissed him off he nearly killed him. Frankly if it wasn't for Ginny then he probably would have, that leads me to the two more things. Why would Lockhart suddenly reveal all of his secrets? Maybe he was forced to and my second thing is Ginny"
"Ginny?" Ron asked
"Yes" Hermione sighed "from what you've told me she's been a big Harry Potter fan since she was a kid then suddenly they meet on the train and become best friends and she's right behind him in pretty much everything from classes to pranks. Then they become boyfriend and girlfriend and Harry acts like he has no other purpose in life other than making her happy."
"That is a bit weird" Ron agreed
"And that brings me on to this year. What's happened so far? So far this year he's managed to overcome the effects of a love potion, take a hit from a Hippogriff and lift Malfoy into the air with one arm. Not exactly normal is it? Rumours say that he was also the one who stopped Lucius Malfoy from complaining and getting Hagrid sacked. And he actually takes Dumbledore himself to court right when half the castle gets damaged when we're in lessons! That's not the only weird things I've noticed.
He's comfortable with Remus being a werewolf, he can go up the girls stairs, everyone and I mean nearly everyone except us two and a few Slytherin's are too in love with to notice everything and no one knows where he lives. Harry Potter the boy who was supposed to be kind and heroic but he's not, he is arrogant, rich, confident and has more secrets than a diary"
"What? You think Harry's dark?"
"No, not dark but something is off. I know he has secrets and there are too many questions for me to answer when it comes to him. I think we should try and keep an eye on him just in case we need to stop him from going dark. Though to be fair I doubt we could physically stop him"
"What do you mean?" Ron asked
"Ron Harry's beat you up twice this year and survived a slap from creature that is half eagle and half horse, and whether we want to admit it or not, he is the strongest when it comes to magic. If anything happens then we should go straight to Dumbledore"
"Agreed" Ron shook his head.
The two walked on, not noticing the spider hanging on the wall besides them. The spider hurried after them, once they opened the room to the common room the spider snuck in. Harry and Ginny had fallen asleep together on the couch, they were covered in a blanket and to anyone but Ron and Hermione the two looked adorable.
Ron scowled and Hermione had to force him upstairs, she knew that if Harry was taken off guard then he'd probably get angry and not hold back. Admittedly she also knew that he was probably never taken off guard, she just didn't want to carry Ron to the hospital wing at night"
As soon as they were gone, Harry and Ginny opened their eyes, both weren't the slightest bit tired. The spider rappelled from the ceiling into Harry's hand.
"I still can't believe you can talk to snakes and spiders" Ginny whispered
"I had to learn if I ever wanted a conversation" Harry whispered "plus they spied on the Dursley's for me, how else did you think I knew my aunt and uncle cheated on each other"
"Yeah but with the ghosts, suits of armour, portraits and spiders you've basically got spies all over Hogwarts."
"True" Harry acknowledged "but I've told them to only bring news concerning me or you, now tell me what you've learnt" The spider relayed his information and Harry repeated it to Ginny. Just before they consider a plan, Stink arrived.
"Hi Stink" Harry greeted him
"Hello master Harry" Stink bowed "Stink has bad news, one of the dragons has escaped and is coming here"
"What why?" Harry asked "which dragon?"
"Lilly sir, the green Hungarian Horntail, Stink believes that she wants master Harry present for her egg hatching"
"Why?" Ginny asked
"The dragons are very smart miss" Stink answered "they know that master is the strongest and protects the youngest one, the Lilly dragon is not feeling well. Me thinks she wants to leave her egg with master Harry"
"Alright Stink get one of those prepared notes from Sirius" Harry ordered and Stink left, Harry and Stink made these notes in case Harry ever needed to leave . "Gin, I'll go and intercept the her after I tell McGonagall, needless to say a protective dragon and her child is not what we want right here and now"
"Okay" Ginny agreed as Harry stood up "be safe" she kissed him goodbye. As he left she laughed at the fact that she didn't even question why Harry had a dragon, she was always satisfied with thinking it was just because he was Harry.
