[Edited CH14]-The Mission Begins

Harry couldn't stop laughing until he was pushed into the lake as well and now Ron and Hermione were the ones that were laughing. When they stopped swimming, they decided to have a game of Quidditch. Fred and George joined them and Ginny joined too because they needed another player. They weren't going to play with the bludgers or the snitch but only with the quaffle. The team would be Ron, Harry and Hermione. It would be Fred, George and Ginny on the other team. The boys will be the chasers and the girls would be the keepers. They began the game. Harry had the quaffle and he rode pass Fred with George on his tail and Harry passed the quaffle to Ron who was on the other side of the quidditch field. Ron caught the quaffle and throw passed Ginny. Score! Now, Fred has the quaffle passes it to George who fled passed Ron but Harry blocks him. George passes it back to Fred who tried to score but Hermione caught it!


"Good job, Hermione!" said Harry.


The game was now 60-55, Harry's team in the lead. Ron has the quaffle and tried to fly pass Fred but failed. He quickly passed the quaffle to Harry and he flew pass Fred and passed George but Ginny caught the quaffle and gives it to George who scored! This is where the game's going to end, Harry's team need to make one more goal and they win. It then started off with Harry. He flies towards the goal post high above while Ron was at the bottom. Fred went up to try and take the quaffle away from Harry but Harry passes it to Ron who unfortunately got hit on the nose by it. It had started bleeding just as Madame Pomfrey said so but Ron kept going and he threw the quaffle passed the side of Ginny and scored!! They win! Afterwards they went down and Ron would have to make a visit to Madame Pomfrey again.


"Thanks a lot, Harry. That's just what I needed," said Ron sarcastically.


After they visited Madame Pomfrey's to fix Ron's nose, they all decided to take a shower before heading down to the Great Hall to eat. They all ate a lot cuz they were so hungry. When they finished eating, they had a game of wizards chess in the common room. When they were playing, Colin walked up to them and gave them a picture that was most unforgettable. It was a picture of the party at Hogsmead. It showed Malfoy and his cronies with the flower on their heads.

It's Monday!


Harry was getting ready after class for the tryouts to determine the new keeper for the Gryffindor quidditch team. A few mins later, all the other team members arrived.


"Let's get this over with," said Fred.


Harry would call out names one by one while Katie threw the quaffles and they would have to catch it. It was a long night when they just tested 50 people and found no one that was good enough. They still had 20 more people to get through.

"Seamus!" called Harry.


Seamus came up and he seemed very nervous but he tried his best nevertheless. He did pretty well, getting 22/30. Next was Dean. He however didn't do that well. He got scared of the quaffles and he kept putting his hand up so that it won't hit him.


"Neville!" said Harry.


Harry was surprised that Neville wanted to try-out. Neville seem confident, he climbed on the broom and got ready to fly. He flew a lot better then the first time he was on a broom. He did really well as his scores were 26/30. Then it was Ron's turn. He climbed on the broom and caught every single quaffle that Katie threw at him. It was great! Ron was surprised at his own abilities. When they were done testing all the candidates, Harry had a group talk with the team.


"Well, I think that it was obvious that Ron should become the new Gryffindor keeper. He was the only one that caught all the quaffles and also, Neville can be the reserved," said Harry.


"Yes, I agree," said Katie.


The whole team agreed.


"Alright, we have the results of the new keeper and the reserved. It will be Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom will be the reserved!" said Harry.


At night, Fred and George threw a little party for Ron and Neville. It seemed like they took a whole kitchen of food to the common room. They had a fun night, even Remus and Sirius came to join the party. Harry, Hermione and Ron was surprised by Sirius' appearence in their common room. Although Sirius had to be in his animagus form, he found a way to enjoy himself. While everyone was busy enjoying the celebration and each other's company, Sirius and Remus almost ate 3/4 of the food.


"Boy, they must be hungry! Isn't that right Ron?" said Harry.


"......," said Ron.


"Ron?" asked Harry.


"Umm, Harry, he's over there with the pigs...," said Hermione.


"Huh?" said Harry.


"I meant he's over there with Sirius and Remus," said Hermione who was watching the three of them clobbered up all the food that they possibly can.


Afterwards, Sirius and Remus placed some kind of object on the floor and told Harry, Ron and Hermione not to step on them. They listened to their advice and it was lucky they did cuz once a person stepped on the object, it cast a cloud over their head and starts pouring ketchup mustard and uncooked egg for a few minutes. Sirius and Remus started laughing while Fred and George was trying to find out who the pranksters were. The night went by fast when everyone had to go back to their dormitories. Harry said goodnight to his godfather as he left with Remus. Hermione left the party an hour ago saying that she had to finish up on an assignment. By the time Ron and Harry returned to the dormitories, it was 2 am. Ron was completely worn out and same goes for Harry. They had so much fun that nobody realize that tomorrow was the last day before the mission.


Tuesday morning at breakfast, Harry received a note from Dumbledore excusing him, Hermione and Ron from class for the day. Ron was down right happy. Hermione did want to spend the day with Harry but she also didn't want to miss a class and afraid that she might fall behind from a day's work. Ron finally convinced Hermione to spend the day with them. The whole day, wherever Harry went, people that Harry knew or didn't know came up to him and said good luck, we wish you well, we'll miss you, and if you don't make it back, can I have your stuff? Harry replied with a "What??!!" on that last comment while Ron and Hermione shoved that person away.


"They're talking like I'm not going to come back. You two believe that I'll make it back, right?" asked Harry with a depressed face.


Ron and Hermione didn't even think before answering him.


"Of course we believe you'll come back," said Hermione.


"Yeah Harry, don't be ridiculous. You are one of the greatest wizard even better than...than..Voldemort! In fact, we know you'll make it back," said Ron.


"That must have took a lot for Ron to say Voldemort," thought Harry.


"Thanks guys, I really don't know what I'll do without you two," said Harry.


The three of them spent the rest of the day wondering around the school and recalling the many different memories they've had here at Hogwarts.


It was getting usual that Sean hasn't been seen much these days. He wasn't at breakfast, lunch or dinner. Non of the Gryffindors had seen him either. Since Sean wasn't excused from classes like Ron, Hermione and Harry, he should've been in class but when Hermione went to ask the proffessors, they all said that he wasn't in class today. After dinner, Sean was still no where to be seen and Harry went to inform Dumbledore.


"Harry, you should get some rest before tomorrow. We'll find him," said Dumbledore.


So, Harry went back to the common room. He decided to go to sleep early since he'll need all the energy he can get for the mission. Sean never came to bed. Harry forgot that there was one thing that he hasn't tried yet. He turned the switch on his watch and it revealed the murauder's map. Harry took a quick look at the map and thought that his eyes was plying tricks on him. He thought he just saw two Seans on the map but that's not possible or is it...?


"Something wrong, Harry?" asked Ron.


"No, nothing's wrong," said Harry.


"Goodnight Harry," said Ron.


"Night Ron," said Harry.


Harry was to tired to think about something that he wasn't even sure he saw on the map. Harry soon fell asleep.


The next morning, all around Hogwarts seem tense. People were seriously thinking about the mission and the outcome if they fail. When Harry, Ron and Hermione was walking down the hall to the Gryffindor table, they saw that some ravenclaws were crying, some had worried faces and some of them were trying to show sympathy for those that are crying. Harry would be leaving after breakfast, they took their seats at the table. Dumbledore was standing in front of everyone. He didn't seem sad or happy but determined which Harry also was.


"As many of you know, today a group of trained wizard and I will try to stop a disaster from happening. Not many people know about this mission except for all of you here at Hogwarts. Mr. Potter, Prof. Lupin, Prof. Snape and myself won't be here later on today. I must ask that you all be on your best behavior while we are not present. If you have any concerns, please direct them to Prof. Mcgonagoll while I'm gone. I must ask that you all remain as calm as possible, all will be taken care of. There's no need to panic or worry, we will make sure that everything will be alright. Now, lets eat," said Dumbledore.


Dumbledore's speech seem to have calmed everyone down a bit. Those that were crying stopped but still wearing depressed faces.


"Cheer up. Eat something, don't just sit here and mope around. Ron, you should eat something too. I can't believe I just said that to you Ron," said Hermione trying to lighten the mood.


Harry and Ron still didn't touch their food. They weren't in the mood to eat.


"How could you not be sad? How can we cheer up at a time like this? I mean...what if...," said Ron.


"Yes Ron, I'm lying to myself here! I am sad but I'm not going to let it take over me! You two need to get a grip on reality, moping around and dieting isn't something that'll help! Harry, you especially need to eat something so you'll have full energy to fight. Don't lose hope already! The battle hasn't even began and look at you two, is this the way to act?!" said Hermione.

"I'm sorry. You're right, Hermione," said Harry and he took a bite of his eggs.


"Thanks for waking us up. We needed that," said Ron.


When breakfast was over, Harry walked to the front of Hogwarts accompanied by Ron and Hermione. At the front gate, Remus was there waiting for Harry.


"Ready Harry?" asked Remus.


Harry took a moment and said yes.


"Then let's go, everyone else is waiting on the train. Sirius is also waiting for you," said Remus.


"Sirius is going?!" asked Harry.


"Apparently, yes, he wouldn't thought of letting you go with out him," said Remus.


That seem to make Harry feel a bit better that his godfather will be by his side but he also worry that Sirius might get hurt.


"Ron, Hermione, don't worry, Harry will be fine. I'll make sure of it and so will Sirius," said Remus.


"Thanks Remus, good luck!" said Ron.


"We'll wait for your good news," said Hermione.


Harry went and embraced a hug from Ron and Hermione.


"Be careful pal," whispered Ron to Harry.


"We're always here for you," whispered Hermione to Harry.


Harry then walk to the train with Remus.


"Harry, kick You-Know-Who's butt!!!" yelled Ron after Harry.


"Be careful Harry!!" yelled Hermione.


Harry stepped into the train and almost immediately spotted Sirius sitting by the window with a terrorized expression on his face. Harry knew that Sirius never wanted to be anywhere near Azkaban again but now he was going to go there again. Harry could almost imagine how Sirius felt right now. The terror of just think about it gives Harry the creeps.


"Sirius!" called Harry.


Sirius' face immediately lid up at the sight of Harry. They were off to fight evil together.
