CH 5 The Decisions and surprises

All of them were sitting at the dinner table almost everyone else had left. They just ate their food quickly, they were there one hour after everyone had left. Finally, Dumbledore came back in and sat down next to them, they didn't look up.

"So, what's the matter?" he asked seriously.

"We saw- we saw a prediction" said Rachel sobbing. James gripped his hand around his fork tighter he still didn't know what was going to happen to Lily and him but he knew it had to do with a trader.

"Yes, but as disturbing as it can be, it still is a prediction" said Dumbledore wisely. James had never thought of that, maybe Chranes was wrong.

"Dumbledore, sir I know it's right," said Chranes hanging his head. Rachel busted into tears, Sirius put his arm around her. Lily looked grief beyond words.

"Humm" Dumbledore said giving Chranes a searching look.

"Chranes I want to talk to you, follow me," said Dumbledore getting up.

Chranes looked helplessly around at everyone, James nodded, and Chranes left. A half an hour later everyone went up to the common room and went straight to bed. Everyone in the seventh year, guy's dormitory lay awake. Waiting, waiting for Chranes to return, and when he did they all stood up.

"What did he say?" asked James urgently.

"That, maybe the future is best unsaid" said Chranes looking ashamed.

"So it's true?" asked Remus timidly. All eyes were on Chranes now and he looked uncomfortable.

"Well, the future isn't always clear, but for now, yes" Chranes said looking down. Sirius sat down looking horrorstruck and Peter just gaped at Chranes James stood there wondering what was the prediction about him and Lily. Remus sat on his bed and buried his face into his pillow.

"I-I won't let it happen" said Sirius quietly. "I won't," he said louder.

"Dumbledore said don't worry about it, it's the future and enjoy your last year at Hogwarts!" said Chranes trying but not succeeding to sound more cheerful.

"He's right you know!" said James straightening up. "WE shouldn't worry about it, just put it in the back of our heads and enjoy- life."

"Well that would be hard, but I'll try" said Sirius. "Lets go see the girls" he got up and looked back at his friends "Are you coming?" he asked opening the door. They shrugged and followed in to the girl's dormitory. They knocked on the door softly. Polly answered it,

"What are you doing here?" she asked half asleep.

"We need to talk to Lily and Rachel!" said Sirius.

"Um ok" she was intimidated a bit by five guys standing there.

"Lily, Rachel!" she called turning around. 'Whats and huhs' could be heard over rustling of covers. Lily and Rachel appeared looking tired.

"Let's go down stairs, Lavender is sleeping," Rachel said leading the way.

They all sat down on the couches by the fire. Peter sat in an armchair. James had his arm around Lily tightly and same with Sirius around Rachel. Remus and Chranes sat next to each other. Sirius stood up,

"We have decided not to let this come between us, and having fun this year." He said pacing. "Chranes will this happen this year, or the next?" he asked hopefully.

"No it'll come later" Chranes answered glancing at Peter "I'm sorry about this, I shouldn't have said anything or told you later, that was a mistake I shouldn't of made!" He shock his head, looking down.

"Who's down there?" came Jessie's voice. She looked at Chranes, ran over to him, and put her arm around him.

"I herd what happened" Jessie stated. "Sirius you are right, live your life the fullest, then worry about it when the time comes. Don't worry you'll have a warning when the time comes and Chranes. Mary and I will be by your side." She said standing up.

"Jessie, what about Austin?" Peter asked nervously.

"Well," she said darkening her eyes at the sight of Peter "I won't let him come, it's to dangerous"

"Jessie, I'm sorry at breakfast don't be mad at me!" said Peter beggarly. She turned sharply around at him and said

"It's not that! I forgive you." she said with a smile that didn't light up it was just a painted smile. Then she lightened up when she put her back to him. " I have to get back to Polly and Lavender, they were asking me for makeup tips" she winked and step up the stairs.

"She's a great girl Chranes don't lose her!" said Remus watching her climb the stairs.

"We are just friends but I fell like her brother, guys bother her continually." He said half smiling. "Some guys are meaner then a bother!" he said raising his voice.

"Oh yeah what about Tom?" asked James curiously. Everyone looked over at Chranes, James had told everyone the story.

"Well, her old boy-friend was quite er abusive-verbally. She doesn't have any parents well, no of us really do we were ripped from them, to train. We were promised to be returned to them when we have mastered our training. So, we lack ah parentally love, Mrs. Juliana tries her best but she is our coach not our parent. Well then we found out that Jessie's boy friend was er Voldemont!" said Chranes quietly. Everyone gasped at the name.

"Please don't say that name my ears are ringing!" said Peter and Rachel nodded.

"I thought he was much older then us?" said James

"Yes, well no, you see he spilt him self into two when he was 15 and preserved him self so that he could bring him out when he was needed." Said Chranes sadly.

"Sick man, we had to battle him a couple times, sick sick!" said Chranes shivering

"And you lived, did you kill him?" said Lily shocked.

"No, he is still alive but either he would escape or we would, depends on who's winning. We were made to leave cause Dumbledore put a cruse on us so when we are losing, we appreciate to his office. He knows that we'll keep fighting, we never give up to someone equal to our power. We are equaled to him when we fight together. We only rarely would have to wait, not fight or rather hide. We are ashamed when we do but, we are wiser then that to fight them." Everyone starred at Chranes.

"When do you have to hide?" Sirius asked.

"When Voldemont has all his death eaters, we usually fight he without the death eaters" Chranes explained

"Why would he fight alone in the first place?" asked Remus interested.

"We would catch him off guard when he was alone. However, we would never attack on his back, very cowardly" Chances finished.

"Why aren't you all in Gryiffindor?" asked Rachel.

"I don't know I think the hat can see beyond certain things," said Chranes looking into space. Just then, loud footsteps could be heard, Austin running down the stairs looking wide-eyed.

"What's going on who said Voldemont, attack?" said Austin looking wildly around. Then Mary come out from the girls stairs.

"What's going on?" she asked, then she spotted Remus and she smiled at him.

"Do you guys have dog ears or something?" asked Sirius looking at Mary and Austin.

"Don't worry I was explaining some stuff to them" said Chranes to Mary and Austin. "Go back to bed!"

"I'm staying with Remus," said Mary sitting down next to him. Remus put his arm around her.

"Go back to bed Austin, you need your rest!" repeated Chranes. He stomped back up the stairs mumbling.

"What's the deal with Ed?" asked Peter looking at Chranes.

"He likes her, but he just a jerk, he played with her. He had a girlfriend when he told he liked her." Said Chranes. Mary scoffed.

"Why does he still bother her?" asked Peter interested.

"Well, we don't know, cause she's beautiful, maybe it's cause he broke up his this girlfriend and he's lonely, cause he might be working for Tom. At one point we weren't sure what side he was on!" Mary said disgusted. "Oh, he makes me so mad!" she said clenching her fists. "He's such a jerk! I still think he is working for Tom! Jessie just ignores him though, she's strong."

"You know what Dumbledore told me what he thinks, he said that Tom probably put a spell on Jess to make he like him. However, Jessie is strong and she can fight it so she's having a internal struggle too!" said Chranes looking at everyone. Mary stood up and shock her head "That explains at lot! I have to go to bed, for training tomorrow," she gave Remus a hug then left.

"Yeah, we have to fight each other today, I have to keep my title!" he smiled and walked up the boys stairs.

"Wait, Chranes!" shouted James, Chranes turned around

" Hey weren't you in Divination class today?"

"We decided not to do that class, because we don't need it" Chranes smiled and continued up the stairs to bed.

"Weird people or whatever they are" sighed Sirius.

"You bet" added James. Lily kissed him,

"Well I'm going to bed too," said Lily standing up. Rachel gave Sirius a big kiss then followed her up the stairs.

"You know I'm the only one who doesn't have a girlfriend!" Peter said outraged.

"You'll find one!" said Sirius smiling doubtfully.

"Why don't you all find one for me?" he asked looking hopefully at his friends.

"Doubt that! Why did Jessie and Chranes keep looking at you darkly?" Remus snapped at Peter.

"Wow Remus is it that time of month? Should I get some pads and the shrieking shack?" Sirius asked teasingly.

"Shut up!" said Remus making a pillow out of his wand and throwing it at Sirius.

"Ouch!" said Sirius "That's not a pillow it's as hard as rock!"

"Well, it's filled with them!" said Remus smiling.

"Alright you too!" said James teasingly.

"Sit down James!" said Sirius with a fake push to James.

"Speaking of that, we have to go this Friday, and that's in two day for all you calendar illiterate people. We are going behind Hogwarts!" said Peter. Peter left and went up stairs without being noticed by his fake fighting friends. While James, Remus and Sirius had a massive pillow fight. A little while later, all the boys went back up stairs. James saw Peter in his bed (he forgot to drew his curtains) Remus drew them for him.

"I didn't notice that he left, he hasn't been himself lately poor chap!" they all climbed into bed and put out the light.
