Chapter 17: More fights

********************

A/N the chapters are going to come out a lot slower now because:

1.My S.A.T's are coming up in May I know that's a long time but they give us mocks and they're at the beginning of February.

2.I had a book with a blow-by-blow plot for each chapter and I have unashamedly lost it. I do know the plot obviously but I have to remember parts that were small and I did actually write the plot down months ago and I've sort of forgotten parts I will try and find it. Luckily this story is half way finished, I want to get this finished b4 the fifth book comes out in what I have been told May (when the DVD of the ps comes out

Oh and some one asked what the last chapter had to do with the story. Originally this chapter, which has more fights, and the former chapter were joint but I broke them apart. I like reading long chapters but I can't write long ones. Now onwards and upwards as I frequently say!

Harry was somewhat bored. Ron wasn't talking to him, neither were the twins. Hermione was stuck in the middle and spoke to both of them civilly. At the moment Nicola and Hermione were in a study session for the O.W.L's, which Harry thought, were pointless it was February afterall.

Then in flew Hedwig with a letter. "Hello!" Hedwig gave him the letter and left. She was in a bad mood with him though he didn't know why.

He looked at the letter.

'Dear Harry' it read

'I need to see you tonight. On your own. At 9pm in the shrieking shack.

Snuffles'

Very friendly thought Harry. Feeling bored he got out his History essay and re wrote it.

At 8.45 Harry was out of the main doors and walking down to the Whomping willow. He toughed the knot, which made the willow freeze and climbed in.

After walking down through the tunnel he came to the shrieking shack. He opened the rickety door, which creaked and clearly needed oiling. He strode into the centre on the room and looked around. "Petrificus Totalus!" Harry froze to see Sirius in front of him.

"You should have your wand ready at all times." Spoke Sirius in a serious voice. He took the spell of Harry

"Well I didn't expect to get cursed did I?" retorted Harry

"That's exactly what I mean. With Cedric and the tri wizard cup. He wasn't ready and got killed. Yes, I know it's unblockable but he could of moved."

"I wish you wouldn't bring that up."

"Well I have a lot to discuss. One of which is your relationship with Nicola."

"What about it?" said Harry tersely

"Well, you seem to be a bit to attached to her at the moment."

"Well that probably has to do with Ron and Hermione being a item and then Ron being angry with me because I took Ginny's side and so Hermione is stuck in the middle and just keeps me out of the conversation."

"No, I mean about you telling Nicola about every thing very quickly, she could have been a spy for Voldemort for all you know. Plus how did she become your girl friend?"

"My girl friend? Who told you that piece of crap?"

"You went with her to the Valentines ball."

"Your point?" Harry was already annoyed

"It was the Valentine's ball."

"That's because it's less hassle. Last year I had about 20 people ask be most of which I didn't even know. Nicola is popular as well so we said we'd go together to cut all that 'will you be my date crap.'"

"Right. But she still could've been a spy for Voldemort."

"Can you stop talking about Voldemort?"

"No. Whether you believe it or not Voldemort will be part of you even if you don't want him to be. He's after you and you can't stop it. Open your eyes look how many people are dying and the only person that has a connection with Voldemort is you. We have to use that, but there's nothing to use if you don't tell us."

"Well maybe Voldemort isn't being murderess at the moment so I have no dreams."

"You know he's murderess open your eyes."

"They are and at the moment all I can see is you."

"Then don't be so closed minded."

"I'm not, you are the only person I can see and at the moment I'm tired so I am going."

"You're not going any where."

"Watch me." Harry turned walked through the door and slammed it.
