"Can you trust him?" asked Ginny the next day. He had been let out of the hospital wing that morning and he wasted no time telling her what had happened the pervious night. "I mean, he killed Dumbledore!"
Harry simply nodded. Snape had told him about the locket, but the images of the tower last year would not stop remerging. They wandered, hand in hand, through the corridors. They walked by a group of Ravenclaw's, including Sinead Tomey.
"Bitch." Ginny muttered as they past them. "She could have killed you."
Again Harry didn't say anything, but felt a little better.
"So…" Continued Ginny. "There's three left?" she asked.
"Yeah," said Harry after a while. "And if we can trust Snape, two of them are here. Which leaves only-"
"Nagini." Finished Ginny.
"I have to find the two here quickly, so I can go and get the final one."
Ginny bit her lip, and stayed silent.
They turned and found them on the seventh floor. As they past a statue of Trolls trying to ballet, they stopped at a door where they heard fairly load moaning. They paused at the door, wondering what was going on. Harry pressed his ear against the wood, and a second later, -
"That sounds like Lavender." He exclaimed.
The yelling got suddenly loader, and then just stopped abruptly. About ten seconds later the door was flung open to reveal a very flustered looking Lavender Brown followed by Zver.
"Harry!" she proclaimed. "Ginny! Hi. We were…what are you doing here?"
"Feeling better Harry?" asked Zver, closing the door. "Quiddich training tonight?"
"Yeah. Definitely. We need a lot of work if were going to catch up."
"Are you sure you're ready to get back on a broom?" asked Ginny caringly.
"Yes. I really-" he broke of when he saw Filch running towards them.
"You!" he shouted at the group. "You, that door! You didn't close it." Harry looked at the door to the Room of Requirements. It had vanished.
"God dammit!" yelled Filch. He turned to Lavender. "What did you do in there? How did you get in? Answer me girl!"
Lavender turned slightly pink. But then said. "I don't know what you're talking about. There's no room there." And then walked away.
Filch stared at her dumbfounded. Then turned to Zver. "How do you get in?"
Zver stared at him for a long moment. Then calmly,
"You heard the girl. There is no door." And with a smirk, and a wink to Harry and Ginny, followed Lavender.
It was then when Harry noticed a wand clutched in Filch's hand. And decided to ask.
"You allowed have that? No magic in the corridors."
Filch hand shook, and he glared at Harry with as much venom as a cobra. "Mind yer business."
Then he stormed off. They heard him walking down the steps, and then a loud hiss from a cat. That suggested to Harry that Filch had taken his bad luck on Mrs. Norris.
A silence past. Then Ginny-
"You are wishing that we were as sexually explicit as they are, aren't you?"
"Of course not." Harry said quickly. "Okay, yeah, having sex in school in pretty cool, and Zver is incredibly lucky. But we have…" his sentenced didn't have an ending.
Ginny's eyes narrowed.
"You can't give out to me." Said Harry quickly. "I'm injured, remember."
"I thought you were feeling better?"
"I just said that for Zver benefit. I'm still really…injured." He tried.
Ginny arched an eyebrow. Quickly Harry hugged Ginny tight. She began to laugh.
"I'm not letting go, until you forgive me." Harry said. They walked together down the corridor, laughing. arry
