Harry closed the door of the awesome room that he found on the seventh floor and he was surprised when he saw the door disappear, but then, he wished for the door to appear again and when he entered, he was happy to see that Malfoy was still unconscious, however, there was no time for him to stay here.

“Hermione’s in danger,” he said with a worried tone before he covered himself with his invisibility cloak and then cast a silencing charm on the thing so it couldn’t make any sound and also no one could be able to hear what he was doing under the cloak.

Harry managed to see a lot of things after putting Malfoy through legilimency, it seems like he and Parkinson were planning an assassination attempt on his girlfriend. He also learned about the unbreakable vow Hermione proposed so people could prove their innocence.

So, it was essential for him to get there as soon as possible. Even though according to the map everyone was in the great hall, people like Parkinson do stupid things when they feel cornered and right now she and Hermione are close to each other, and that made him feel uncomfortable.

“I just wish there was a way to get to the great hall at once,” he said to himself and suddenly another door appeared.

Harry who was still covered in the invisibility cloak came out of the door and he was surprised to find himself being teleported to the great hall, luckily he was invisible for the moment.

Also, everyone was so focused on the scene between Hermione and Parkinson that they didn’t notice some things moving on their own, as for Harry, he was on the verge of coming out of the cloak to kill Parkinson by himself as she was pointing her wand at Hermione, that was a sight he hated to see.

Soon, he moved as close as he could and he was now standing right behind Parkinson, he wanted to do something, he needed to stop her.

“Think Harry think!” He muttered to himself.

Soon, he started to remember what he was doing before Malfoy lost his magic, he felt hatred towards him, he felt frustrated, and most of all, he wanted to hurt him and take what he loved the most and that thing was his magic, Harry was having problems controlling his anger and soon, the memories of the code came back to him.

“If magic equals zero…” He muttered to himself but then his eyes widened after he saw Pansy’s next actions as she pointed a finger at Snape.

“You…You Betrayed me…You saved that git’s arse and you left me here with the wolves…Yes, me and Malfoy did it, we attacked Potter!” Parkinson was desperately pointing her wand at Hermione.

Harry couldn’t believe it, he was able to see the hatred in her eyes, she wanted to hurt Hermione, her hatred towards the muggle-born was unnatural, he had seen that look before, he saw it on Voldemort's face during the graveyard battle.

“NO!” He screamed desperately and luckily the silencing charm impeded anyone from hearing him and soon, the unknown spell came out of his spare wand hitting Parkinson at the right moment.

Harry had to drop the wand to the floor as it was too hot for him to handle right now, but he didn’t care.

“Avada Kedavra!” Screamed Parkinson with hatred.

Harry couldn’t believe it, she said those words in front of everyone, for being a Slytherin, she didn't know how to be subtle. Harry’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted when everyone gasped as they realized something…No spell came out of Pansy’s wand.

“Oh god…” Harry said relieved, it worked.

“Avada Kedavra, Avada Kedavra, Avada Kedavra!” Screamed Parkinson repeatedly with hatred but still, nothing was coming out of her wand.

In different circumstances, she would have been disarmed by McGonagall, however, the fact that nothing was coming out of the Slytherin girl’s wand was alarming the staff.

Seeing his girlfriend safe, Harry decided to get back to the hospital wing as he realized Poppy was starting to move.

“Let’s take her to the infirmary, I need to get back, it seems like Mr. Potter is out of bed and I need to reprimand him!” The nurse said with a stern tone.

Harry’s eyes widened after hearing that, for some reason she knew he wasn’t where he was supposed to be.

“Oh, wait a minute, it seems like he’s back there, he was out of the hospital wing for a minute,” the nurse chuckled and Harry’s eyes widened.

He wondered who took his place as he was clearly still here, he was getting so nervous that he couldn’t help but scratch his neck in response to the situation and then he felt it, it was the time turner and he couldn’t help but chuckle, it seems like it was time to get back in time.

Harry traveled back in time one hour and then waited under the invisibility cloak while he waited for his past self to recover his memories and chase after Malfoy, and as soon as his past self disappeared he took the invisibility cloak and came back to the bed where he was thinking about everything that happened.

“I think I made it,” he said proudly to himself, the fact that he reached a point in which he was able to take magic out of people was something hard to believe for him.

And yet he himself witnessed how he took the magic out of two people, Harry analyzed the situation for some time until he felt the need to get some fresh air, so, he went to a balcony where he stared at the forbidden forest for a few moments, Malfoy’s wand was there.

“So this is the minute I spend outside, I wonder how Poppy can track my location…Could it be the clothes?” He said to himself as he realized that a minute had passed by and soon he came back inside.

He smirked as he knew that at this point, the Harry who was at the great hall was traveling back in time. Harry realized that this had been a very productive evening, so, for the first time in ages, he decided to take a nap on his own with a smile on his face but not before hiding all the things he used for his little adventure.

Sadly for him, he couldn’t sleep more than five minutes as Poppy got inside the infirmary with a sobbing Pansy Parkinson, Harry would’ve been angry in different circumstances for getting his sleep interrupted, however, the sight of the now squib witch was something he didn’t want to miss, Hermione was with them too.

“Mione…What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at class?” Asked the dark-haired wizard with fake sleepy eyes.

“The first class has been canceled Harry, something strange happened,” Hermione said while looking at her boyfriend suspiciously.

“Is that so? Such a shame I know you were looking forward to the start of the term. Did you know Hermione that there’s an interesting story about the start of the term? It was back in the time when Merlin—” Harry tried to distract his girlfriend but she quickly stopped him.

“I know that story Harry because I was the one who told you and Ron about it!” She said with a smug expression.

She hated it when Harry tried to distract her but on the other hand, she was happy that he listened to that story while Ron was doing anything but that, however, this was no time to feel grateful towards her boyfriend, she had questions about what happened and she knew that somehow he was involved.

“Hermione I—” Harry didn’t know why but he tried to defend himself.

“Cut the chase, Harry…Tell me what you did,” Hermione said with a stern tone as she glanced at Parkinson who still wasn’t able to cast any magic.

Harry tried to look innocent but his girlfriend’s look was telling him all he needed to know, they needed to talk.
