Chapter 5: The Search

Hermione's POV

We looked a long time for James because Harry kept pushing Ron and me to it but finally he stopped because we saw people going to the Hogsmead Carriages.

We met up with Venus again and she asked us if we had found James but we all just stayed quiet.

We had to go to Hogsmead to meet with Sirius and Lupin so we just kept walking. In the distance I heard something.

"James!" It cried, "James! Wait!"

A girl with long red hair and bright green eyes like Harry came running up to us. Venus smiled at the girl.

I saw Harry staring and I was to. I just couldn't belive it. It was Lily, Harry's mother!

"Who are you?" asked Ron.

"What?" she asked, "Oh, I, uh." Suddenly Lily was jumped.

"There you are! I was worried sick! I thought you had gotten lost or h-" he cut short his sentence when he noticed us staring at him.

"Oh! Hi! My name is James! Who are- WHAT THE HECK!!" he had spotted Harry who was slowly slumping up against the side of the carriage.

"See, I told you James and his friends were here!" said Venus. We all suddenly heard Harry yelp as someone grabbed him from behind and pulled him behind the Carriage. Then we heard,

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO SIRUIS! GET OUR SELF KILLED!" We ran around to see the older Sirius rolling with silent laughter. He then looked up and instantly caught sight of Peter.

"YOU BASTERED!" he yelled as he jumped Pettigrew. I pulled off Sirius and quickly everyone was shoved into the carriage.
