A/N: This chap is mostly filler. And is a bit shorter then the others.

The next one won't be out for at least a week, I still have to write it.

Meetings in the dark

Hermione awoke in total darkness. She could not think what had awakened her. There was no sound at all amiting from her dorm. She was alone.

She was alone.

The absence of Lavender's snoring had awoken her. She was not used to sleeping alone in this room. There had always been Lavender's snoring. She decided to go talk to Ginny. She swung her feet off the bed. She could always talk to Ginny.

"I love you." Draco whispered in her ear.

"I should hope so. Eispecilay after what we just did." She whispered back, giggling.

"You're supposed to say, 'I love you too'."

"You already knew that, so why should I state it?"

"Because,"

"Because what?"

"Because."

"Draco Malfoy!"

"Ginny Weasley!" He mimicked.

They both burst out laughing.

Suddenly Draco put a hand over Ginny's mouth. She started licking it. "Eww! Stop that," He hissed pulling his hand away and wipeing it on Ginny's pillow. "Someone's comeing."

"Are you wacked out or something?" And then she heard it too. But Draco had already scrambled out of her bed and was putting his trousers back on. She scramblued up hissing, "Bathroom now!" Draco scrambuled up grabbing the rest of his clothing, and scurried into the bathroom adjacent to the dorm. The door had just shut behind him when Hermione walked into the room. She looked surprised.

"Ginny, you're awake!"

"Wait! Please don't state the ovious!" Ginny replied sacasticly.

"Ginny, I-"

"You what?"

"I just wanted to talk to you!"

"Well I don't want to talk to you right now."

"Fine. But let me borrow some shampoo. I'm out."

"No." Ginny howled.

"What the hell's wrong? It's not like you're hiding a guy in your bathroom." Ginny tried not to look guity, but she must have failed because Hermione's eyes opened wide. "You're Not!"

Before Ginny could stop her Hermione lunged for the door and opened it.

Ron sat in the common room. It was after three. He had needed to be alone. How could she have just died? This is the first time since it happened that he had been alone. Alone with his thoughts. His thoughts of her.

"If only I could say goodbye…" He said out loud.

"Please don't."

Ron bolted out of his seat and spun around. In front of him was a ghost… of Lavender Brown. She was a ghost!

Ron stood still, he could not tear his eyes away from her. She was as beautiful in death as she was in life. No, more so. He opened his mouth but still could not speek.

She glided over to him.

Through the red and gold sofa.

"Ron, I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you. Dumbledore woudn't let me. I wanted to tell you, I really did."

"Y-You knew?"

"Yes," She was in tears, "I wasn't supposed to know ahead of time, but Trelawnly saw it. And told me. She told me that I would died, but you would find another. I had to die Ron. I had to. You'll be alright. I'm working for Dumbledore now. As a spy. Imagine, me a spy! Me! Death Eaters have killed every other spy Dumbuldore sends. So he thought to send dead ones. The car crash was an accadent. Mother and Father had just sign some papers saying when they died they would become ghosts. I wasn't supoed to be with them when they died. But some drunk muggle hit us."

"Oh, Lavender."

"Don't worry. It's kinda fun actally. I can go through walls. Hehe. I'm not going to haunt you, don't worry. I just had to tell you some stuff. You learn stuff when you die. It's cool. Sorry, of topic, anyway, it's okay for you to miss me, but keep your eyes open there's someone else for you here.

Hermione needs help. She's in troble, but doesn't know it yet."

"How can I help her?"

"You'll know. Anyway, Harry won't live past grauduation if you don't do something."

"What?"

"Can't tell you, sorry." Suddenly Lavender looked off to the side as if listening to something. Her eyes opened wide and she looked at Ron. "I try to see you later, but you might want to go to Ginny's room, like, now. Bye!" Lavender faded from sight and Ron rushed up the girl's staircase.

"Hi, Hermione. Here's the shampoo." Draco said and tried to shut the bathroom door. Hermione put her foot in its path.

"Oh, no you don't. Get your ass out here, Malfoy. Ginny, put a robe on. NOW."

"GINNY!" The three heard from outside as the door burst open and Ron landed in a heap on the gound at their feet.

"What an entrance, Weasley."

"Shut up Malfoy. Wait, what are you doing in *MY SISTER'S ROOM*???!!!!"

"I think that would be obvious."

"YOU ARE GONNA PAY FO-"

"Ron!" Ginny cried, "Stop it! NOW!"

"But-"

Hermione laid a hand on Ron's arm. "Ron, let me handle this." Turning to the two others she said softly, but with a voice lined with steel, "I'm taking 40 house points each. When I file my report, I'll say Draco punched Ron and insulted me. Ginny, you just cursed my cat. Understand? If I catch you guy's doing it again, I WILL put it in the report.  Draco, get out. Now. I'll have a word with you in the morning."

"Bye." Malfoy murmered to Ginny and left quickly.

"Ron, I'll let you take care of Ginny." Good night. Thank you for the shampoo." Hermione turned and left the room, heading up to try and get a few hours sleep.

When the door shut behind Hermione, Ron turned to Ginny and cried, "What the *HELL* do you think you're doing? You just slept with Malfoy. *MALFOY*! How could you? HOW?"

Ginny pulled the sheet tighter about her slim body and shot back, "Because I love him!"

"You loved Harry and Collin too. Did you screw them too? Huh?"

The sound of a slap reverberated though the room. "How could you say that? You loved Hermione for a while, did you sleep with her? What about Padme? Lavender? Wait, they're dead!" She bust out in anger.

Ron stumbled away from his sister. Even though Lavender's ghost had spoken to him not ten minutes ago, he still felt sick. She was dead and his sister had just trown it in his face.

Ginny, relizing her mistake, said a muffled, "oh, god… Ron." And threw her arms around him. "I am so, so sorry." She sobbed into his cheast. "oh, god, I'm sorry."

They stood in silence comforting each other.

After a few minutes Ron looked around the dorm and said softly, "Where's Natosha?"

"Did you bring him?"

"Yeah, he's right here." Natosha said, tugging Harry up to Wormtail. "I don't know what Granger sees in him. He's boring, bigheaded, and a lousy kisser."

"Maybe it's the spell Hun, It suppresses most of his personality. They say you see into a person's soul through a kiss, and his is well… suppressed." Terry placed a kiss on Natosha's brow.

"Boot, you're late." Wormtail snapped angerly. "Explain."

"Flitwick was in the common room talking to Lilith, my fellow 7th year prefect. I had to wait till they went to bed."

"Fine, come on. Let's go somewhere we can talk." Thee four figures walked in silence to one of the many empty classrooms. Natosha paused just outside the door way.

"What is it?" Peter snapped.

"Peeves. Try again." They continued on to another room. This one, though, was empty.

Terry shut the door quietly and went to stand beside Natosha, his arm draped around her waist. "Why is he here?" he asked, gestering torward Harry, who stood motionless with a glazed look in his eyes.

"His Lordship needs the boy's blood for a spell to prepare. Blaine, hold out his arm." Natosha did so, rolling Harry's sleeve past the elbow.

"Make it look natural or else someone might ask questions."

"I was planning to. His Lordship would not trust me, should I botch assignments like this. But he does, so I don't."

"I wasn't the one who botched the hit on Granger's family. They were meant to get the cousin also. Instead, she's here. *And* with powers now."

"What?!" Wormtail squeeked, dropping the knife he was about to slice Harry's arm with.

"They perform lumos et videre on the twenty-nineth using Potter, Malfoy, both Weasleys, and Granger."

"Damn. Muggles are not capable of handleing powers like that. Where did you get that black eye?"

"Granger, sir. She punched me when she returned." Natosha pouted, "Everyone clapped."

"It's okay." Terry said giving her a gentle squeeze. "We'll watch them die. In a blast of lightning that will light the sky. We'll paint the whole world red with their blood. Then we'll take their families, and their family's friends. We'll make the world bow before us and The Dark Lord. I'll give you a crown hewn from gold and diamond. We'll stand on this castle's ruins and laugh. But there will be no one but the ghosts to hear."

They were silent for a moment as they watched the blood from Harry's arm drip into a cup. After a time Wormtail said softly, "Nicely put, Boy. Nicely put."

A/N: I'll most likely have between six to ten more chapters.

On a side note, again, I'm looking for H/H stories that are completed and kinda long. Could you guys recomened any good ones?

Angelic-Babe, HarryHermione4ever, E. C. R. Potter, Phoenix, hermioneharry4ever, a, firechild,

Thank you so much for you're reviews!

Hahn, you mentioned a story called A Quicksilver Eternity Under Amythyst Skies and I was wondering who wrote it. I tried searching for it, but the title's too long. By the way, thanks for your review.

As always,
