Chapter 16

A/N: Just came from Adventure Land, what fun! I went in the haunted house 6 times and it became really scary when I realized that they used a pot to make people scared...

I had two charo's ((yum yum)) and won a Liberty (basketball team)) poster. So now I am bouncing of the wall and its almost midnight so I'm going to try and put together some of my hyperactive thoughts write them down and make scene of them for all of ya! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry had not told anyone about Nagina except Ron and Hermione. Professor McMannon and Logan also knew but they didn't know about Nagina.or did they?

Hermione had spent countless hours in the library trying to find information on snakes and the last name McMannon. Ron and Harry finally got her out of there for the Halloween Feast.

"I think I was getting somewhere!" She said even though she wasn't because she was being taken to the feast against her will.

"You will do much better if you come to the feast tonight." Ron assured her and she moaned.

They entered the Great Hall with its usual Jack-o-Lanterns flying around instead of candles. The first years looked around in awe at how the Great Hall looked beautiful with the decorations. Harry, Ron and Hermione sat at the end of the table joining Logan who was talking to Addy.

"Where do you think he is Logan?"

"I don't know. Sorry Addy but big sisters don't have all the answers."

Addy hugged Logan and started to cry. "She is still worried about Gavin?" Harry asked.

Logan nodded. "C'mon Addy cheer up it's Halloween! Have some candy corn or something."

But Addy still sobbed in her sister's chest.

"Addy you've been acting like a Vampire! Walking around at night and barely awake in the day!"

That obviously triggered something in Hermione's head. She nudged Harry. "Remember Seamus said McMannon is Irish and he recognizes her name from somewhere? We can ask Seamus what he knows."

"Ok you go ask Seamus and meet me and Ron in the common room after the feast."

Hermione nodded then got up and sat next to Seamus who was with Dean, Pavrrati and Lavender. Harry watched as Hermione went and asked Seamus, who answered with out a clue. She nodded as Seamus told her everything he knew.

Addy's sobs had stopped and Logan started becoming sucpicious about what was happening around her. She narrowed her eyes and started eating. Addy had a piece of bread. Ginny came over to try and encourage Addy to eat more.

"C'mon Addy the foods great! The pumpkin pie is the best!" She said but Addy ate none of it.

"Eat," Logan said. "Now." So against her wishes Addy ate a piece of pumpkin pie. Harry was surprised at the authority Logan had over Addy. It was like a mother and a daughter not two sisters.

Addy and Ginny left the feast with Faye then Logan left soon after. Hermione had left before Ron and Harry so they rushed out to hear the story.

"He said that every Irish family is like a clan. The name McMannon is strong and royal."

"So McMannon is a princess?" Ron said.

Hermione nodded. "She's a princess in a long line of McMannons. Seamus said you could trace back every clan from as far back as when Hogwarts was created. Now if Professor McMannon is royalty that should make it easier to find something on her. So lets go!" Hermione said about to leave the common room when Logan came in.

"I thought you were in your dorm?" Hermione said.

"No I wasn't. I didn't even leave the Great Hall."

"But I saw you come up here."

Logan yawned. "Sure ya did 'moine. Well I'm going to sleep now." She said and walked up to her dorm.

"I swear that I saw her walk up to the dorm before."

"I bet your just tired and stressed out." Ron said pushing Hermione onto the couch. "you need to relax!"

"I think I'll go up to the dorm now. I am pretty tired I guess. I'll go to sleep."

Hermione looking like a zombie went up to the girls dorm.

"You don't really think McMannon is a death eater do you? I mean, Dumbledore can't make the same mistake can he?"

"I don't know. We don't really have enough proof to say McMannon is a death eater. But you never know. And its not like it hasn't happened before in this school."

"What should we do?" Ron asked.

Within minutes Harry and Ron set out to the library under the invisibility cloak. "is it going to be hard without Hermione?"

"We've watched her do it plenty of times."

"What are we doing again?" Ron said.

Harry sighed. "Looking for information on the McMannon family."

"Oh okay."

"What was that?"

"What?"

"Be quiet!"

Harry had heard voices. "Do you hear that Ron?"

"Yeah. It sounds like." They walked and saw Addy and Faye at the main entrance.

"C'mon Faye! We have to find out where they took Gavin!"

"But we'll get in so much trouble!"

"We must find him Faye, we must!" Addy was on the verge of tears.

"Okay. What can we do?"

"We'll go to the lake and look for clues."

"Alright" Faye said.

The opened the door and went outside leaving the door ajar.

"Lets get to the library before anyone comes."

So they rushed to the library.

"Now, look up anything Irish and the name McMannon."

"Okay."

Harry and Ron set out on different ends of the library. First Harry looked for books that he might be able to find something in. Books like Royal Families of Ireland, Irelands Finest, Family Clan's of Ireland. Harry had no idea that there was a whole section on Ireland he, he wondered if Hermione knew that. Harry and Ron split the books that they found might be useful. They learned quickly that a lot of last names in Ireland begin wit 'Mc' and that each last name was used more then once.

"You know she could be married and McMannon might not be her last name." Ron said.

Harry rubbed his eyes. "Your right." Then he sighed. "Okay we will come back tomorrow, with Hermione!" He slamed the book closed and it exhoed threw the empty library.

"Oh no." Ron said as they heard footsteps entering the library.

"Quick!" Harry threw the invisibility cloak over him and Ron. They grabbed the books and hid behind a bookshelf.

Filch walked in with Mrs. Norris. "Whose there?" He said.

Ron and Harry put the books down on the bookshelf they were hiding behind. Then they started to run. But Mrs. Norris tripped them and the invisibility cloak fell off of them.

Of course since Filch is the oldest breathing thing so it takes him a century to turn around. By the time Harry and Ron got up, grabbed the invisibility cloak filch had not seen them.

They got out of the library panting. "That was close." Ron said under the cloak.

"Lets get back to the common room."

When they were walking back they saw Addy and Faye being reprimanded by Professor McGonagall.

"How dare you be out of bed? Do you know what time it is? You could have been hurt or even worse! I am so disappointed and from my own house! I can't believe it. Just wait until I tell Logan about this!"

"No! No! Please don't tell Logan! She will be so upset! Please tell my grandma instead!"

"Follow me and I will decide." McGonagall said bringing them to her office. Addy looked scared. Harry would rather have McGonagall tell his sibling (if he had one) then a grandparent (again..if he had one!). But of course there were many things Harry didn't know about Logan and one of them was the relationship between Logan and Addy.

After they saw McGonagall with Addy and Faye they rushed to the Gryffindor Common Room. But more Professors where roaming Hogwarts as Harry and Ron turned a corner the invisibility cloak caught onto something and the boys did not notice. To their unfortunate Professor Snape was roaming the halls and came across Ron and Harry walking.

"No what would Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasly be doing out of bed at this hour hmm?"

Harry and Ron stopped dead in their tracks. They turned around and faced Snape who was grinning wildly. Snape took them to McGonagall's office. When she saw Snape with Harry and Ron her mouth dropped.

"What has been going on?!"

Harry and Ron started lying about why they were out at night.

"I am ashamed of all of you! 25 points will be taken from each of you! And you will all get detention." McGonagall said this and Snape's smile grew wider. "You will get the same detention as Logan, though I am yet to come up with something to deal with this. Off to bed all of you now!"

That was that. They walked in silence to the Gryffindor common room ashamed of themselves. When Harry got up to his dorm his invisibility cloak was there. There was no note and he doubted that Dumbledore would have given back to him so quickly. Someone else had been out of bed and luckily not caught.
