For the next two weeks, Ron was convinced that the person who left the note, and the person Voldemort spoke of in the letter was Hermione. Harry tried to point out to him that Hermione was muggle-born, therefore it was very unlikely that she would be a follower of Voldemort.

"Harry, with all the weird stuff that happens around you, I've learned to suspect the least likely person, and right now, thats Hermione" Ron said when Harry pointed out the prefect badge could have been a Slytherin Prefect's.

"Hermione's a Gryffindor Ron!" Tierney said, defending Hermione.

"So was Peter but that doesn't seem to slow *Him* down" Alex said, then caused the entire Gryffindor table to stare at her when she banged her head against the table.

"Don't ask, muggle movie" Melanie said "Harry's right though, Hermione's not the only Prefect, I mean MALFOY is a Prefect"

"Does Malfoy ever go into the Library? No, come on guys, it's obvious!" Ron said, and they all heard a sob from the other end of the Gryffindor table, Hermione left the Great Hall crying.

"Good job Ron, Troll scene take two" Harry said sarcastically

Alex laughed. "We'll make a marauder out of you yet!' She said Happily

"I'm gonna make sure she's alright" Melanie said, and followed Hermione

"You think everything's Hermione's fault Ron!" Harry said angrily

"No I don't!" Ron said Defensively

"Third year; you thought her cat ate scabbers" Harry said, before Ron could say anything he continued

"Same year, she was trying to save me from Sirius and you got mad at her for-"

"Hold it! Rewind and freeze!" Alex said, and they all stared at her "Scabbers is Pettigrew, Hermione's cat nearly *ate* Pettigrew and Ron got mad at her because he thought her cat ate Pettigrew... DID I MISS SOMETHING?!"

"Alex calm down! We didn't know he was Pettigrew at the Time!!" Harry said

"GRR!" Alex said as everyone inched away from her.

Tierney, Alex and Harry went to go make sure Hermione was okay, Ron didn't want to come, he was convinced she was a death eater. Alex and Tierney went into the girls bathroom where Hermione was and two minutes later, they emerged looking pale.

"Harry come quick" Tierney said shakily, Harry entered the bathroom, and what he saw nearly made him pass out.

Hermione and Melanie were on the floor, unconcious or dead, Harry couldn't tell, they were drenched in their own blood, there was another note, again, written in blood, which Harry had the feeling, was Hermione's or Melanie's.

Potter- They aren't dead, but if you want them to live next time, join me and become a death eater, we will have unstoppable power Lord Voldemort

Harry looked up from the letter. "Get them to the Hospital wing, I have to find Sirius" he said, and left

What if Voldemort was still in the school? What's Ron gonna think now? Harry's mind raced, it had only been a month and a half, and he was already getting death threats! It would be his fault if anyone in this school got hurt, how could he be so stupid? He should leave Hogwarts or something, but harry wouldn't join Voldemort, at times he would think about it but whenever he thought of that, he thought of his parents, what would *they* think?

Harry found Sirius in the trophy room (In his animagi form) scratching up "T. M. Riddle"'s award. "Sirius?" Harry said shakily, he was worried about Hermione and Melanie, not so much Melanie, since he didn't know her that well, but she *was* his friend now

"You okay Harry?" Sirius asked, seeing the look of terror on Harry's face, "Whats wrong?" Harry gave him the letter "Melanie and Hermione! they-" he began, but Sirius cut in, in a very hurried voice

"Harry go back to the commonroom and stay there! Don't touch anything, Voldemort might try to catch you off guard" Sirius said, and ran off
