hundred Galleons to make you look mistaken." "Why?" Snape asked. "You've heard of the carrot and the stick?" Harry asked. Snape nodded. Harry pointed at the very angry beetle. "Behold, a carrot." "And you want no credit?" "No credit, just any blame," Harry said. "Very well." Snape took the jar and strode off. "Why?" Hermione asked. "So she couldn't hurt Hagrid, who was about to admit to having a giant for a mum. So she would stop hurting people, at least so easily. So we wouldn't have to kill her later. And as for Snape, so he might choose to let me modify his Dark Mark. The Headmaster believes in him. In the other time stream, he still chose wrong. On the off-chance he hasn't made that choice, that he really is torn, this is a chance for him to trust me. And if he betrays that trust, I'll have to kill him anyway." Harry and Hermione had their picture taken <strong>by</strong> the photo club, and decided to leave a bit early. As they left the great hall, they ran into Snape. "It was Skeeter," he said. "You do realize what the penalty is?" "She's fined three thousand Galleons and should be sentenced to living for six months without using magic?" "She will loathe you," Snape warned. "I know," Harry agreed. "Still, it was either give her to the aurors or feed her to Neville's toad. Since it was a preventative strike, I thought this best. For now." Snape almost smiled, almost bowed, and moved on. At that point, Cedric came over. "Harry. . . ." "Have you figured out the egg, too?" Harry asked as they moved away from their dates to talk privately. "You know?" "Mermaids? Yes." "But what are they going to take?" Cedric asked. "My guess is Hermione, Cho, and Mandy," Harry said. "I don't think Fleur cares enough about Davies, but I don't see how she could rescue herself." Cedric snorted, but quickly sobered. "I'm worried about that, Harry." "I don't think they'd be in any actual danger, but I don't think we should mention it to them." Harry scowled. "I will talk with the Headmaster about their safety." "You know him better than I do," Cedric admitted. "Thanks." The two shook hands.
Chapter VIII Rita Skeeter's arrest was buried in the back pages of The Daily Prophet, along with the information that she was also banned from reporting until July 1. Harry was glad to know that she was out of the way at least. Harry had rather hoped that Sirius could be sneaked into the castle for at least a visit. Other than seeing Hermione and Luna, Harry most wanted to see Sirius again. Still, Harry was quite happy to spend most of the time he wasn't spending training with Hermione. On New Year's Day, as Harry and Hermione snuggled in the large bed in the Room of Requirements, Hermione asked, "Is there any other news you can share, like about Hagrid being half-giant?" Harry told Hermione the stories of Barty Crouch, father and son (although not how they were currently faring), Karkaroff, and Ludo Bagman. "I never could like Mister Crouch, but I do feel sorry for him," Hermione said. "How much are you keeping from me?" "Quite a lot," Harry admitted. "It's not because I don't trust you, but because the future is a burden. Sharing it with you wouldn't lighten the load for me at all, and I know exactly what I need to do. I promise you, if there was any way that telling you could help, I would in an instant." "I don't like not knowing, but I have to trust you," Hermione said. "I understand," Harry agreed. "Tell me, how does knowing that Snape could die at the end of June if he doesn't allow me to work on his Dark Mark make you feel? Or that the other Death Eaters probably won't even have his chance?" "Like I should be doing something about it, even though I know anything I do would make things worse," Hermione admitted. "I'm juggling about two dozen different eggs, just like that one," Harry said. "Well, one less since Skeeter is out of the way. And I have different concerns about Snape now." "Does all this stop when Voldemort's gone?" "I would think so," Harry said. "I don't think I'll have any more relevant secrets that I would need to keep from you. I should be able to answer any question you have, if I know the answer." "Like how you visited Durmstrang and Beauxbatons?" Harry shrugged. "I taught Defense here and at those two schools for one year each, plus at two schools in North America." Hermione snuggled down into Harry's arms, and listened to his strong, slow heart beat. Harry was quite surprised when Snape gave him a short detention during the first Potions Class after the break, since Snape didn't fall down screaming in pain. He found out why when he came back to the Potions Lab at 3:30. "Potter, be honest with me," Snape said. "You know the Dark Mark can't be removed without killing me, and that if the Dark Lord is truly killed, all of Marked die as well, don't you." "I do, Professor," Harry said. "I didn't know any of the Death Eaters knew." "I doubt if many do, besides myself and Rookwood." "The Unspeakable now in Azkaban? Yes, I can see where you two might figure it out. I can modify your Mark so that when I kill the Dark Lord, you won't die with him."
