Everyone gasped, Harry took the letter, he noticed it was written in blood,

not ink.

"Potter-" Harry read "I got one of your friends on my side. you're next, or

another one of your friends will pay"

Tierney started pacing, talking fast in a different language Harry didn't

understand

"dia coisenuich Harry! AOISH! Doilgheas Harry, dia coisenuich! Harry Aoish!

We're aoish! We're Aoish!"

Harry, who didn't seem as scared as most of them whispered to Melanie

"What is she SAYING?"

"It's Gaelic, 10 years I have lived in Ireland and I still don't understand

it" She said, still looking horrified at the letter

Alex was holding one of the "live" Plushies so tight that it looked like it

was going to die "W-what does he mean, 'I have one of your friends on my

side' I thought Ron and Hermione were your only friends" Alex said timidly

"They are..." Harry said, looking at Ron and Hermione

"Harry you KNOW we would never join you-know-who" Hermione said

"I know, but who would they mean?" Harry asked

"You don't think...." Melanie said, snatching the dieing plushie out of

Alex's deadly grip "That Sirius or Remus-"

"Sirius or Lupin?! Are you Mad? You know how much they both hate Voldemort,"

Harry said, Ron and Tierney flinched "when they found out Wormtail was a

death eater they would have killed him"

"But who would it be then?" Ron asked, then they all looked at the three

girls, Alex grabbing the plushie again

"YOU THINK WE'RE THE ONES?! WE'D PROBABLY KILL YOU KNOW WHO FIRST!" Tierney

yelled

Alex hugged her plushie tighter

"I'm going To go tell Sirius," Harry said, still staring at the girls as

though if he turned his back they would stab him

"We're coming too," Ron said, He and Hermione followed Harry

"US TOO!" Alex yelled grabbing all her plushies and running after them,

Tierney and Melanie trailing behind

"You guys" Melanie said "We helped Sirius out of Azkaban, how can you think

we're with You know who?"

They got to Professor Lupin's classroom where the Aurors, Lupin, and Sirius

were talking, well Sirius was listening, his name wasn't cleared yet and so

he stayed as the giant black dog

"Hey Remmie!" Alex said as they entered, The Aurors were staring at all of

them.

"Uh we were just in Gryffindor tower and we found this" Harry said putting

the note from Voldemort on the table, the Aurors stared at it.

"Where did you find this Harry" Lupin asked

"We found it in the Library pinned to the bookshelves with this" Melanie said

and Handed them a silver star shaped object.

"Alright, you may leave Harry," Lupin said "You three were the ones who found

this letter right?" he said to Alex Melanie and Tierney

"er... right" Alex said hugging her plushies tighter.

"Don't worry, you aren't in trouble, yet," Dumbledore said

Harry Ron and Hermione left, Hermione and Ron kept looking at Harry as though

he would die any second now.

"Perfect huh?" Harry said in a strangely calm voice "I think I'm safe then a

letter, WRITTEN IN BLOOD is sent to me"

"Hermione," Ron said "Why aren't you wearing your prefect badge?"

"Oh um, I don't have to wear it at night, I mean it IS midnight" Hermione said

"You were at the Library earlier tonight right?" Ron continued

"Yeah....." Hermione said slowly

Harry thought he knew what Ron was thinking, yes, that star thing DID look

like a prefect badge, but Hermione was the LAST person to join Voldemort, but

then again, Harry had learned to suspect the least likely person.
