Chapter 7 The Gringotts break-in, almost
"Harry get up…!" said Ron. Harry rolled over.
"What..?" he asked
"We need to go eat breakfast, we have herbology first thing to day." said Ron
"Mmm ok" said Harry getting out of bed. Ron stifled a laugh
"What..?" asked Harry changing into his robes. "Don't like my p.j's?"
"Um..yeah..there funny..". Said Ron laughing again
Harry grabbed his bag as he walked towards the door, Ron following closely behind.
Harry turned around and eyed Ron suspiciously
"What?!" asked Ron
"Nothing..nothing" said Harry walking out the door
"AHHHHHHHHH DIE HARRY!" yelled Hermione jumping on Harry's Back
"What?!..Ack! HERMIONE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Harry yelled. Hermione had taken out some lipstick and was smearing it on his face.
"THAT WAS FOR LAST NIGHT!" she yelled getting off of him.
Ron was on the floor doubled up with laughter.
"I suppose you where in on this too?!" Harry yelled at him
"Well I knew about it." Said Ron. Harry stood up and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Hermione you're a nut!" yelled Harry
"Thank you!"
"I'm going to go wash up,…" said Harry going back into the Boys room
* * *
"Ron pass the toast please" asked Harry
"Here"
"Thank ya"
"Oh look the mails here!" said Hermione as a hundred owls flew in overhead.
"Oh look it's Hedwig!" yelled Harry as she alighted on his shoulder and dropped letter and a copy of the Daily Prophet. Harry recognized the writing, the letter was from Sirius. It read:
Dear Harry,
How are you doing? I'm fine but I was reading the daily prophet today and it says there was another attempted break-in at Gringotts! Says there's been a lot of suspicious activity going on and with all this you-know-who business going around, everyone's getting kind'a jumpy. Well just thought I let ya know. Do you think I could visit you some time? I'm sure Dumboldor wouldn't mind but the rest of the school might get a little freaked. I could come as padfoot. Right back soon!
From Sirius
When Harry looked up to get the Daily Prophet he realized Ron and Hormone has been reading over his shoulder.
Hermione was just staring wide-eyed at the letter, and Ron was looking kind'a concerned.
"Wow that's weird.." he said
"Yeah.. I wonder what they were trying to steel?" said Harry
"Look at the paper." Said Hermione. Harry picked it up and flipped to the article.
"It says they were trying to open vault 264….oh my gosh! THAT'S THE VAULT RIGHT NEXT TO MINE!" yelled Harry
Hermione and Ron's jaw's both dropped
"Do you know what's in the vault next to yours?!" asked Ron
"NO! Its not mine!" said Harry
"Oh sorry, not thinking" said Ron
Hermione rolled her eyes. But then Harry heard someone call his name; he wiped around and saw Cho waving at him. He got up and ran over to the Ravenclaw table and kissed her on the cheek.
"How ya doing'?" he asked
"Good thank you, and you?" said Cho
"Fine!"
She smiled "Good!" she said "But did you hear about the Gringotts break-in?"
"Yeah" Harry said but then lowered his voice. "The vault that was almost broken into was right next to mine!"
Cho looked at he with wind eyes
"Wow…. that's scary!" she said
"Yeah,…. sorry I got to go I have Herbology!" Harry said kissing her on the cheek and running off towards the Gryffindor table
"Bye!" Cho yelled

Harry finally caught up with Ron and Hermione as they were walking towards the greenhouses.
"Where were ya?" asked Ron
"Talking to Cho" he said. Ron elbowed his stomach
"How it going' with her" he said raising an eyebrow
Harry looked at him, and then elbowed him in the stomach
"How's it going; with HER" he said looking at Hermione
"Alright alright, that was stupid" said Ron as he swung open the greenhouse door
"You guys are so stupid" said Hermione with slight amusement in her voice.
As they walked in side they came upon some very beautiful plants, they where brightly colored and had what looked like berries of some sort on there stems.
"Hello everyone!" said Professor Sprout "Today we will be collecting berries off the Mustriongos Friusa" she said pointing to several plants on a table. "It's a very rare plant found only in the tropics. The berries are used in many antidotes as well as potions giving to animals suspected of being animagus. The berries are located on the stem of the plant and are in bunches of about 5 to 6. Over on that table are some thongs for getting them, be careful the Friusa is very protective of its berries! I would suggest putting on your dragon hide gloves!"
"Great the first day back and we're already plant food." Said Ron picking up some thongs and getting his gloves
"Well this is better than potions with Malfoy." Said Harry
"Oh shut up both of you and help me get these berries!" yelled Hermione
