At breakfast Severus sits with Harry and hands him a few books, that was stolen from the ministry. "This is all I can find on The Chamber. There wasn't really much."

Harry looks through the books, "Where did you get these books? They are in nice condition."

"The ministry."

Harry closes the book, "You broke into the ministry." Harry whispers.

Severus shrugs. "You said to get the information, so I did."

Harry sighs, "Just make sure you put them back."

"Of course."

Harry sighs and goes back to flipping through the books being careful to not get them dirty. Ginny sits next to Harry giving Severus a strange look, "What are you reading?"

"Just some history on Hogwarts." Harry mumbles.

She tries to read over Harry's shoulder, but he moves away closer to Severus. Ginny glares at the demon but he doesn't really care.

When it's time to head to classes he hands Severus the books for safe keeping and follows Ron and Hermione to DADA. They take their seats and Lockheart comes in smiling happily... fuck him.

He says a few words that to Harry just sound like blah blah blah. Then he uncovers a cage to show Cornish pixies. "Let's see what you make of them!" Lockheart cheers and releases them.

Most of the students run out and Harry wakes a few with Lockheart's book since that's all its good for. Then Hermione makes them all freeze.

"Um... Can you guys help me down." Nevil whines hanging from a chandelier.

They head into potions tired and feeling a little beat up because they had to put the pixies away and Lockheart was no help. Severus looks at Harry, "And what did you get yourself into?"

"Lockheart set Cornish Pixies on us, then ran off." Harry says annoyed.

Severus laughs a little. "You being the shortest I'm sure you were hardly noticeable to them."

Harry glares at him and takes a seat with Ron. He zones out a little as everyone comes in and Severus starts to teach.

The next few days there is no other incidents and the whole thing with the chamber of secrets is not much talked about anymore. Harry read through the books and newspapers Severus got for him, though there was not much about what was in the chamber sadly, and the only real clue was that Hagrid was arrested 50 years ago the last time the chamber was open, some kid named Tom Marvolo Riddle turned him in. Harry of course had Severus take everything he stole from the ministry back. 

when the weekend comes its the Gryffindor's first practice and they go out to the field the same time as Slytherin. "Whay are you guys doing here, we got the field for practice." Oliver says glaring at the other team.

"Oh? Well, we got permission from Professor Snape to use the field, go train our new seeker." He says flashing a note smiling like he won.

Harry snatches it from him wondering if he actually wrote it. "This says we need to share the field. Not that you get it." Harry says a little annoyed.

There is tension between the two teams as they head over to the field begrudgingly sharing, the captains divide the field to make sure they don't trample over each other. Though a few of the Slytherin get in there way annoying Oliver. 

They all land and Oliver goes over to the other captain, "Obviously this is not working."

"I have to agree. how about this, we play a match against each other, whoever wins gets to take the field whenever they feel like it." The other captain says smirking. 

Oliver smiles fully believing in his team. Mostly Harry. "You're on."

They take off releasing the balls fully ready like a real game. Harry circles the field looking for a flash of gold, Draco mirroring him across the field. Harry laughs seeing the snitch fly right behind Draco and Harry gives chase, Draco realizing and is right behind him. 

Severus figures he should go make sure the two Quidditch teams are not trying to kill each other, sure he knew Harry would not be happy if he gave his house team permission to use the field, but Harry being mad is amusing. 

On his way to the field though Lockheart stops him, "Hey Severus, how are you?"

Severus rolls his eyes, "I'm fine?"

"Good, good, so I was thinking about making a dueling club. How do you feel about assisting me? I mean you must be alright at it since Harry Potter hired you." Lockheart says giving him a "award winning smile". 

"And how exactly would I be helping?" He asks not really wanting to help. 

Lockheart shrugs, "make sure the kids don't kill each other, we can duel together to show them how it's done."

Severus thinks for a moment, so in other words, I can beat his ass. Severus smirks, "Alright. I'll help."

"Great! Ill have the first club in two weeks, Ill see you then!" Lockheart cheers in walks away.

When Severus gets to the pitch, he is a little surprised to see they are playing a match. Though it seems a little more aggressive than normal. 

"Hello professor. Just to let you know Gryffindor is winning." Hermione says setting her book down and going over to him. 

Severus nods and sees that Harry and Draco are practically trying to knock each other off there brooms as they chase after the snitch. 

In the end Gryffindor wins but they allow Slytherin to have the field because they obviously need the practice more and tell them they'll be back tomorrow. Harry instead of following the tea right away goes over to Severus, Hermione and Ron glaring at the demon. 

"Why did you give them permission to use the field?" Harry asks.

Severus shrugs, "to annoy you."

"You are an asshole." Harry says and starts heading to the Gryffindor team locker rooms, the other three following. 

"I think you did a good job Harry." Hermione says.

"I can't believe Draco tried to push you off your broom." Ron mumbles.

"I know right, I almost got him off his broom though. I have learned my lesson last year about getting thrown off." Harry says laughing, he goes and changes in a stall away from everyone else. Witch they don't questioned, the twins teased him for it at first but after a while just came to accept it. 

When Harry joins his friend and Severus again, Severus tells them about Lockheart's dueling club, which they want to join only to see Severus put Lockheart down a few pegs... or at least that's what Ron and Harry want, Hermione just wants to watch Lockheart like the rest of the girls.
