Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix

Chapter 23

My Maddy

A/N I'll take this time to tell you that it's eight in the morning and I'm tired and very annoyed that I woke up early, grr when will my mum get my curtains made?

I'm going to say thanks to Prophetess of hearts, googoo4you and acree because you keep on reading and reviewing my story *yay*

This chapter is also base around my favourite character as well so I might write more. All depends on how it comes out.

Harry hadn't been able to sleep much. What if he accidentally told them that they used a time turner to save Sirius? What if he wasn't proven innocent? Harry just couldn't live with that.

Nicola had been constantly reassuring Harry, Ron and Hermione that they would be fine and that they would do nothing wrong. Hermione seemed very calm, considering that she could get into a lot of trouble by using the time turner for non-academic causes.

Harry opened his eyes and rubbed the sleep out of them. His eyes had big bags under them showing that he had missed a lot of sleep. He looked at his clock 5.30. Harry sighed he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep he was anticipating the trial too much.

He took the diary of the Gryffindors out and opened it. Every ones names, there were about 100 in all were scrawled down in different print. Some loopy and elegant while others were rushed and illegible.

He decided to open his fathers after all he needed to work out his gift and he needed some cheering up. Harry picked up his wand and placed it on James' name. A diary, which was actually quite thick, popped out. It was dated up to the 4th August. This entry was quite rushed.

'Me and Lily are going

Into hiding along with

Harry. I guess no one

Would ever think that the

Heir of Gryffindor and the

Heir of Potter would go

Into hiding, but it's the

Best thing to do. We were

Going to use Sirius but

We've changed our mind

At the last minute. We're

Going to use Peter, the

Perfect feint. No one

Would suspect him after

All no one even thinks that

He could even master such

Magic, though they

Probably don't realise that

Peter doesn't have to do

Any thing it only involves

Lily and my own magic.

I'll probably never write

In this diary again until the

Dark Lord disappears and

I don't know when that will

Be. Harry's looking great

And I hope Voldemort is

Gone by the time he goes

To Hogwarts so he can

Have a stable life, play

Loads of pranks and get

Into the Quidditch team.

But just in case I don't

Get through this and Harry

You are reading this I'd

Like to say, never give

Up hope I will be here with

You spiritually whether you

Like it or not. I hope your

Mother is looking after you

With the help of Sirius and

That they don't quarrel to

Much. Tell Sirius that he

Didn't fail me, and that he

Was the bestest friend ever

Along with Moony. I won't

Say that about Wormtail

Because if I'm dead he's

Probably betrayed us but

I don't believe that. If I

Am alive and you're reading

This Harry, you're probably

Wondering what the hell is

Wrong with me but no matter

I'll always love you. But

Don't give up hope

James.

Harry smiled a solitary tear going down his cheeks. He could use this for Sirius' trial, he's have to ask Dumbledore, he'd know. It was yearly six so Harry decided to carry on reading this was the best way to settle his nerves. He opened it up at the beginning.

'This diary thing is really weird

Should I write things like my name

Is James Potter and that I go to

Hogwarts. Then again every in

The Gryffindor family does. My

Life is actually kind of confusing.

I'm the heir of Potter and Gryffindor

So I have to write in both diaries. Or

Should I do it on a rota? Potter one

Day Gryffindor the next? I Dunno.

At the moment I'm 15 and my

Best friends are Sirius (Padfoot)

Remus (Moony) and Peter

(Wormtail.) We're illegal animagi,

Peter, Sirius and myself. Remus

Isn't because he can already change

Into an animal so to speak. He's

A were wolf, but don't tell anyone.

You would never guess that Remus

Was a werewolf he's so calm and

Level headed, he keeps us all on tow.

My girlfriends at the moment is well

No one. Though I'm going to ask out

Lily today. Lily is a fiery red head

With these amazing green eyes. When

She walks in she lights up the room.

Literally. She's great at charms.

Lily is also a honorary marauder

Because she's great at charms and

Helps us with most of out pranks

And then tells us off in a really cute

Way. I'll end this diary entry now.

It's pretty long and you might wanna

Un away after delving into my strange

Mind. One for all and all for one!

That's a muggle quote that Lily's

Always saying. Over and out

James.'

It was now 6.15 so Harry got up showered and changed by the time he got to the great hall it was 7.00 so breakfast was just starting. Harry the only Gryffindor there sat down and put a bowl of porridge in front of him. He proceeded to stir the porridge, but never eat it.

"You know, you can mix that as long as you want but it won't get any thinner." Harry looked up it was Nicola. "I figured that you were probably up early. So I came down. If you ask me again if I think Sirius will be freed I'll hit you over the head."

"Then I'll curse you."

***

(a/n this chapter is longer then usual and the trial hasn't even begun yet.)

Nicola and Harry stayed in the hall making sarcastic remarks to each other. Other houses gradually filled in after all it was Friday and they did have lessons. Dumbledore stood up. "As you all know. Arthur Weasley has decided to look for Sirius Black. Yesterday Sirius handed himself in so he will have his trial today. Harry, Hermione and Ron we will need you to plead for Sirius' innocence." People turned to look at them while muttering innocence?

Harry, Hermione and Ron got up and walked out of the hall with Nicola yelling "Good luck!" from behind them.

***

Unfortunately I decided to end the chapter there or you won't get it till Thursday so I'll post that now. It took me an hour and ten minutes to write that, though I was reading at the same time. Hope you like it, the next chapter will hopefully be posted on Thursday as there is a teachers strike (yay) in the biggest union for teachers in Britain so I will hopefully get the day of if my evil head teacher decided not to be stingy.
