After Ron had given Harry the signal that he needed to talk to Hermione alone, Harry very discreetly walked instead towards the Greenhouses. He might as well wait for Ginny after all, he conjured up some flowers and to his surprise saw that hey was not the only one waiting for someone in Herbology.

"Hey Neville, waiting for someone?"

Neville jump and looked around. Only when he saw Harry smiling at him did he relax.

"Yeah, sort of" he mumbled.

"I haven't seen you much in the Common room lately, what have you been up to?"

"Umm, well I haven't-er-been-er-I was taking, taking extra Herbology lessons." He stammered but seemed satisfied that his excuse had sounded so "convincing".

"Right," said Harry completely unconvinced. But just then the doors to Greenhouse three opened passing a large group of tired muddy students through its frame.

"Ginny!" Harry said at once when he spotted her red hair in the crowd. He fought his way through to her through the crowd and handed her the flowers.

"Harry! They're beautiful! What are you doing here?"

"Well I got out of class early and I figured I'd come see you."

"That was so considerate of you-"

"Ginny?" Came a dreamy voice. "Ginny are you going to come with me to lunch? I was thinking that maybe we could eat then take a stroll on the edge of that lovely forest."

"Well actually Luna, Harry and I haven't had much time to talk lately and I think-"

"Sure Luna we'd love to meet you there."

"Harry!" Ginny's face was as read as her hair.

"Well," Luna's soft voice seemed to temporarily make Ginny forget her anger. "I'd very much enjoy your company, so I shall meet you there then."

"Where?" Ginny said a little to forcefully then what she had intended.

"Why at the edge of the Forbidden Forrest" She said simply and walk off, her blonde hair flowing behind her... she was truly an angel, if only Harry could run his hands through her beautiful, soft blonde hai-

"HARRY!" Ginny practically screamed, making no effort to keep her voice down.

"Now what is wrong? You know Ginny, I'm getting I'm sorry but I'm getting really tired of this pre-Madonna act-"

SMACK!

"Hey! What the hell was that for? I brought you flowers!" Harry yelled while rubbing the back of his head.

Ginny narrowed her eyes in anger and said in a voice so low and yet so full of rage that every word she said shook with anger, "If you want to go to lunch with Loony Lovegood, you go, alone."

And with that she stormed off towards the castle.

"Ginny," Harry said in a whiny voice. Ginny simply kept walking holding her middle finger up over her shoulder.

After Fawkes left Dumbledore in his room, he flew to Hedwig who welcomed him with open wings, and a carton of chocolate ice cream.

Dumbledore however simply rolled his eyes wrote Tom a Quick note:

Thanks for the letter, can't talk now, I am organizing a big public funeral set to take place tomorrow at noon. Yes Harry Potter will be very vulnerable at this event why do you ask?

-Alby

Hermione who had become accustom to skipping class by now (bad girl), had taken Ron up to her dormitory (though it was difficult considering she had to carry him on her back so the stairs wouldn't collapse). From, there they proceeded to do some naughty, naughty things until the lunch bell rang and poor, poor Parvati who had already puked previously that day found yet another cause for vomiting rolling around naked on HER bed!

----------

Crabbe and Goyle finally got the message that they weren't wanted, so they both agreed it was time for another look. This time they went "goth". Crabbe decided to wear a big black girls T-shirt (but he didn't know that) that said "Miss Unda'stood" on it, black baggy jeans, along with a bar through his nose, complete with the typical black eyeliner, EVERYWHERE on his face. Goyle had a black shirt with the 'Paul Frank' style skull and crossbones that was too small for him and revealed his midriff, his piercing consisted of a belly ring with a cherry dangling from it. He had no pants on. While strutting around the Great Hall, McGonagall asked them 'What in Murlin's beard did they two dung-eating idiots thought they were doing!?' Crabbe, stunned by McGonagall's sudden outburst stuttered something about "expressing themselves" before McGonagall cast a silencing charm on him and gave the two a weeks worth of detentions.

After Harry found Ginny, Neville sneaked away through the crowed of students into the Greenhouse. He looked around and when he didn't see his "tutor" he walked out of the open back door into a garden of strange plants. To his horror he found Professor Snape and Professor Sprout jamming their tongues down each other's throats. Poor Neville just stood there dumbstruck, until Professor Snape saw him out of the corner of his eye.

"LONGBOTTOM!!! GET OUT FIFTY POINTS FROM GRYFINDOR!!"

Despite all the yelling, Neville wasn't even looking at Snape, he had his eyes locked on Professor Sprout. A single tear fell from his eye and he turned on his heel and ran without saying a word.

"Neville wait! You don't understand-" Began Professor Sprout, but Neville was long gone by then. Snape looked at her. "What was that all about? 'You don't understand?' What is going on here?"

"Nothing, it's just... I promised him an extra lesson today and...er... you know how emotion students can get? Especially when death is in the air."

"Oh, yes... now where were we?" He gave Sprout a lusty smile.

"Actually Severus, maybe you should just get your ingredients and go, I have a lot of work to do as it is" Snape looked slightly hurt, but straitened himself and turned to go, pecking Professor Sprout on the cheek as an afterthought.

"Oh Neville, I didn't mean for you to get hurt..."

------------

Harry, despite the fight between Ginny, had chosen to meet Luna anyway, after all he could see the harm (cough idiot cough). He ended up having the time of his life with Luna, once she ran out of weird jokes to tell (most Harry didn't get) she turned the conversation a little more personal. They walked and talked (hey that rhymes!) for the whole lunch hour, they even went a little ways into the forest. Harry had never really liked the forest much, considering he'd almost been killed there more than once, but when Luna kept pointing out certain trees and birds, it seemed to be the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen (apart from Luna herself). They talked about death, their parents, and things that made them laugh. For the first time ever Harry found someone who understood him, he could tell her anything! She was so understanding, and sweet... once you got past the weirdness.

Who needs Ginny?

-----------

Ginny seemed to be thinking somewhere along those lines because the first thing she did when she got back to the castle, was go pee, (but that's not really relevant) and tried to seduce the first boy she came upon who happened to be...

None other than Draco Malfoy. He tried to refuse but that cute little red head was hard to turn down. In the end, he pushed her gently back and whispered in her ear...

"Meet me in the room of requirement next full moon." And left.

Now Ginny didn't know when the hell the next full moon was supposed to be and she didn't even know why the moon being full was relevant but she hoped to god it didn't have anything to do with a werewolf.

Meanwhile in the Muggle World, a tape was circulating...

An eeeeeeeeevil tape...

Made by an eeeeeeeevil little girl. You know the one I'm talking about, you know 7 days till you die unless you copy the tape and give it to someone else. Well this video pretty much old news by now, but for a while, whenever people would receive random video's in the mail from people who didn't like them they watched it! Until pretty much everyone caught on and just stopped watching them (The Dursleys received about eight a week, and it took a lot of therapy to keep Dudley from watching them). But beware... the senders have gotten smarter, they no longer just send video tapes...

NOW they are also hidden on select AOL sample CDs. You have to be alert. And whatever you do...

DO NOT WATCHED RANDOM UNMARKED VIDEO TAPES/VIDEO TAPES THAT ARE MARKED "7 DAYS AFTER WATHCING THIS YOU WILL MOST LIKELY DIE," OR "PLEASE WATCH ME," OR "LOT'S OF FREE PORN ON THIS TAPE" AND DO NOT STICK AOL SAMPLE CDs IN YOUR COMPUTER!!!!

YE BE WARNED insert skull and crossbones here

Oh, and if you HAVE watched this movie and received a phone call in which the caller said "seven days" seven days ago, my deepest regrets, I dedicate this fanfic to you, enjoy it and leave a review before the eeeeeeeeeevil little girl comes to disfigure your face.

Once again, so sorry (better you than me though!).

Badda-Boom-Badda-Bing here we are, the day of the "late" Lavender Brown's funeral. All of the students are getting seated in the black fold-up chairs outside the castle, waiting for the Ceremony to begin. Our dearest Ron was sitting in the front row reserved for "Those who knew her best" as the sign said. Apart from Parvati, who apparently was still fused about the night before as she kept tossing nasty looks at Ron, he was the only one in the row. Earlier that week, the Brown Family had sent an owl stating that they "sadly" could not make is as weather was terrible. It was a pleasant 84 degree day out side, but everyone seemed to accept the excuse as the Browns were probably taking Lavender's death very hard ("ding, dong, the witch is dead!" cried Mrs. Brown when she heard the news...all part of the grieving stage I suppose). At long last everyone had filled in the seats except for the ones in the front row those were still empty. Professor McGonnagal was playing some forlorn tune on a giant pipe organ, but quieted as Dumbledore approached a tall podium set up in front of all the chairs.

When the murmur of voices slowly died down Dumbledore began his long emotional speech. Four minutes in the whole audience was lost hearing only the occasional sob and "finals will be cancelled as one of our sweetest stud-" until his vocal inflexion slowed signaling the end of the speech.

"Now, as tradition at Hogwarts when the occasional students die, the ones present who knew them best," his eyes fell on Ron and Parvati "to carry the casket into the grave, and assist the grave diggers in burring the body... Mr. Weasley? Miss. Patil? Oh, I almost forgot, without magic."

"WHAT!?!" Ron and Parvati had both leapt up from their seats. "Professor, there are only two of us! You can't expect us to carry the body all by ourselves" whimpered Parvati.

"Oh, do not fret you two, you will not have to touch the body...you will carry the body in the casket, speaking of which, I think we should put an unbreakable spell on the casket so no one is to..." He looked into the casket and paused. "Er... Poppy?" He looked up at Madame Pomfrey who seemed to have forgotten her name as she just stared strait forward. This was too much for Dumbledore, he could not contain his rage, and he seized her around the arms and proceeded to shake her violently until her eyes started to bulge. The students just stared blankly having just come out of their trances and or naps to see their headmaster manhandling their nurse.

"WHAT DID U DO WITH THE BODY YOU SICK FUCK, I'M GONNA KICK YOUR FAT ASS IF YOU-"

"ALBUS CONTAIN YOURSELF!"

"I'M GONING TO GET YOU! YOU AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO!"

Silence followed the last comment as everyone was staring open mouthed at Dean Thomas who in the excitement had leaped up and exclaimed ...(well you know what he said).

"Sorry," he grunted, "sorry, please continue." He said sitting down, with his face turning red with embarrassment. Just as Dumbledore was about to resume strangling the school nurse as he had attempted to do before Dean's outburst when suddenly Madame Pomfrey cried out, "SHE'S NOT DEAD!" Dumbledore looked at her in astonishment; his hands still clamped around her neck.

"What?"

"Lavender Brown is not dead, she's been possessing me the last few days!" Squeaked Madame Pomfrey.

Dumbledore stepped back and let out a great gasp of horror, the audience followed his lead, a few adding comments like "Oh lordy!" or "Jumping jillyknickers!" (Dean kept his mouth shut as a precaution).

"Oh my goodness! Come with me Poppy, we need to discuss this. To my office. Everyone! Stay calm, and talk amongst yourselves."

The students nodded. Just moments after Dumbledore left there was a great cloud of black smoke that exploded from the podium, followed by a lot of coughing and gagging, and swearing, then as the smoke began to clear, there was a high pitched cold laughed. Standing before the students, was none other than Lord Voldemort...
