Harry sat, or laid rather, quietly under the bush near Hagrids hut. Since he nearly lost Sirius to the veil he has taken to develop his animagus forms and achieved three of them.
And since he happend to change into one suddenly during rather lively argument with Severus Snape, they managed somehow to make kind of truce and understanding between them. That and Harry-the-tiny-cobra needing to warm his snaky body had taken to curling around Snapes wrist under his long sleeves .

Startled he felt himself being lifted and looked at by onyx eyes of potion master.
Who shaking his head minutely gathered his wayward hissing student and put tiny snaky body around his own neck.
-Stop complaining brat. I just came back from meeting with one maniac and it's enough for now- he absentmindedly petted smooth and small hood. -You should be inside anyway- they both got into the dungeons Severus Snape managing look even more menacing with a snake peeking from collar.
