Harry thought about the Deathday Curse all through dinner. Had Voldemort already found out how to do the Deathday Curse, and he was just biding his time to use it on Harry? Or had he never even heard of the Deathday Curse?

Harry looked down at his supper and put some spaghetti on his fork.

Of course… he could be searching for the book right now, He thought as he lifted the fork to his mouth.

"Harry?" Harry turned his head to his right. Ginny was sitting there.

"Yes?" Harry said.

"I said, do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me on Saturday?" Ginny replied.

"Uh… sure." Harry thought for a moment, and then said, "Oh, I'm sorry Ginny, I can't. I'm meeting someone that day."

"Who?"

"Er…" Harry thought if she should tell Ginny that he was meeting Sirius, Remus, and James. Ginny had met James and Sirius that previous summer, but…

"I'm meeting uh… SiriusRemusandJames," He said quickly.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm meeting Sirius, Remus, and James," Harry said softly. "I'm going with Ron and Hermione."

"Oh." Ginny looked down at her own plate.

"I can try and see if you can come too," Harry said quickly. Ginny cheered up after that.

Dear Remus, Sirius, and James,

I have a big favor to ask you. Can Ginny Weasley come too? You met her this summer, so she already knows about you. And-

"What'cha writing?" Ron said, coming up behind him.

"A letter to Sirius, Remus, and James," Harry said. "I'm going to go see them this weekend. They said that you and Hermione could come, but I need to ask about Ginny."

"'kay," Ron sat down next to Harry and got out his homework. While Harry kept writing, Ron did his homework, and occasionally helped Harry write the letter.

The final draft of the letter looked like this:

Dear Remus, Sirius, and James,

I have a big favor to ask you. Can Ginny Weasley come to meet you with us? You met her this summer, so she already knows about you. She's Ron's sister. And she's really nice! I already filled her in about you guys, so she pretty much knows about everything we'll be talking about.- You should probably know that Ginny is Harry's girlfr- Shut it Ron! Anyway, can she please come!- Harry doesn't want his wittle Ginny to feel weft out!- Ron-

What's going on? Hermione, tell your boyfriend-Hey!- Not to interrupt me while I'm writing!

Hello! What's up? Hello Ginny- Kissy Kissy Kissy! I wouldn't be talking Ron! Well, he's gone. Anyway, please reply quickly!

Harry

Ginny J

Hermione

(Ron would've signed here)

P.S. Now I know how you feel.

Harry went and found Hedwig, and she flew through the window and out into the night…

The next day, Harry got a letter from James.

Dear Harry,

I'm writing this while everyone is asleep so I won't be disturbed. I suppose that it is all right that you take your girlfriend to meet us. I just hope that she is trustworthy. I will see you on Saturday, and the next day you will be competing in a Quidditch match. Sirius and I will be in our Animagus forms, probably somewhere near the forest. Remus won't be able to make it after all. I hope that you are all right.

James

That Saturday, Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny went to Hogsmeade. They had about an hour before they were scheduled to meet Sirius and James, so they went to the Three Broomsticks and got Butterbeers, then they went to Honeydukes and got some of the newest fudge. At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, they all walked up to the mountain cave. Near the top of the mountain was a black dog, waiting for them.

As Harry helped Ginny up the last rock before reaching the cave, Sirius changed is form.

"Hello Harry," He said, eyeing Ginny a little suspiciously.

"Sirius, this is Ginny, I believe that you have met before." Ginny held out her hand and shook Sirius's.

"Sirius! Get in here! Someone might see you." Shouted James from inside the cave.

Harry and the others walked into the cave that was lit by a fire in the middle of the floor.

"Hello Harry, Ron, Hermione," James said, coming out of the shadows. "And I presume that this is Ginny." James added, looking at Ginny and smirking.

"Yes, this is Ginny," Harry said, motioning to her.

"Yep! Ginny is Harry's girlfri-" Harry punched Ron in the shoulder to shut him up. James's smirk widened.

"So, why did you ask us to come up here?" Harry said, interrupting the akward silence.

"Just wanted to see how you were doing." James said. Harry hadn't known James for very long, after all, he had been a Death Eater for most of Harry's life, but Harry could still tell that James wasn't being completely truthful.

"Any news?" Harry asked.

"Uh, well. Not really," James said.

"What do you mean not really?" Ron asked. "Has anyone died lately. Has there been any Muggle torture?"

"Well, yeah," James said. "But, I seriously don't want you worrying about that now. It's not your problem.

"So, Harry." James said, turning to him and frowning slightly. "How are you?"

"Fine," Harry said. "Just a little nervous about tomorrow's Quidditch Match."

James nodded.

Sirius, who had been sitting in the corner, said, "Has anything weird been going on? Anyone suspicious at school."

"No, nothing weird's been happening." There was an awkward silence between them.

"Where's Buckbeak?" Hermione asked after a moment or two. James tossed his head toward the back of the cave where an enormous Hippogriff was crouched. All of them rushed over, except Ginny, who had never seen a Hippogriff before. Hagrid had only shown one class the Hippogriff, and after that ended up in disaster he spent the rest of the year teaching about flobberworms. Harry led Ginny over and showed her how to bow and wait for Buckbeak to bow back. A minute later they were all stroking Buckbeak who even rolled over so they could rub his stomach.

"Harry," James said after about ten minutes, "Could I have a word with you outside?"

"Sure." Harry walked after James out into the bright sunlight.

"Harry," James said again. "We have had some news about Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters."

"Okay."

"Well, did you hear about the attack against Muggles last week in France?" Harry shook his head. "Well, about fifty tourists were killed on a sunny beach in southern France. After a bunch of us asked the witnesses what happened, they started talking about a bunch of men in black cloaks that went around blowing up things with sticks. Then they shot the Dark Mark into the air and left." James sighed. "From our knowledge, Voldemort was not with them, just Death Eaters searching for amusement." James gave a short and angry laugh before continuing. "But there's more news about Voldemort, some of our sources tell us that he's getting stronger, perhaps even stronger than he was before you escaped him as a baby. The other news is that he might have someone posing as a spy at Hogwarts. Dumbledore has been notified, and he believes that no teacher would act as a spy. Do you have any idea who could be?"

Harry thought for a moment, looking over the vast countryside.

"Well, a few of the Death Eaters have children that go to Hogwarts, perhaps it's them." James nodded.

"Keep an eye on them," James said. They were silent for a moment.

"Well, we'd better go back inside," Harry said. "They'll start to wonder where we are."

When they had returned they found everyone else patting Buckbeak still.

"So, who's the Quidditch match against tomorrow," James asked.

"Slytherin," Ginny said, patting Buckbeak's beak. "We're ready for them though."

"So you're on the Quidditch team too?"

"Yeah," Harry said. "Ginny plays Keeper. And she's really good at it too."

Ginny turned a brilliant shade of red. James smirked and raised an eyebrow.

At around half past three Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny left and went down to Hogsmede. They stopped for one more butterbeer before they returned to Hogwarts.

A.N. Okay, I'll try and get the next part up as soon as I can. Maybe I'll even have the next part up by tomorrow. MAYBE!!!! I'm not making any promises!!!! In the meantime, please review!!!!!!!!
