Harry and Hermione rolled off the couch and landed on the floor. Harry pushed his glasses back up on the bridge of his nose. He glanced over at Ron who was laughing so hard that he had to hold on to Lavender just to keep from falling down.
"We shouldn't have done that you know." Hermione stated.
"You mean that you didn't like that?" Harry asked.
"Yes. I did. But we shouldn't have done that when there are people watching us."
Well, I did rather enjoy it myself and I don't care if people were watching us. Are you suggesting that we go some place else? Alone?"
"Harry Potter!" she shrieked.
"What did I say?"
"I can't believe you. That you would even suggest something like that." Hermione got up, smoothed out her hair and stormed out the portrait hole.
"Smooth move Romeo." Ron said.
"Shut up! Like you ever suggested that you and Lav ever do it." Harry snapped and Ron blushed, his face matching his hair.
"Sorry, I had to say that, and I deserved what you said back."
"I'm sorry too Ron. I guess that I'm a little upset right now."
"You know," Ron said. "You really ought to go after her."
"Yeah you should. I really don't want to listen to her cry all night once she sneaks back in." Lavender teased.
"But where did she go?" Harry asked. "There must be hundreds of places for her to hide in this castle."
"Harry, are you that dense? She is in her favorite hiding place." Ron said.
"Where?"
"Harry, Harry, Harry." Ron shook his head and started to pace around the common room.
"What?!" Harry asked.
"Harry, use your brains and think hard. Now, where did she go to find information on the basilisk in our second year? And the info for Beaky's case? And where did S.P.E.W. start and end?" Ron sat down across from Harry grinning broadly.
"The Great Hall?"
"Ugh! Harry! Listen to me! Think REALLY hard! I know you are still thinking about Hermione, but FOCUS! Ok here is one more clue. Where did we get a BOOK so that we could turn into Crabbe and Goyle and in Hermione's case, a cat? I know you know this."
"The Library!" Harry yelled as he sprinted out the portrait hole. Ron stood up and shook his head, chuckled to himself and walked over towards Lavender.
"You see what you women do to us. Turn our heads to completely to mush."
"It is all part of our grand scheme for world domination my dear." Lavender said.
^^^^^^^^^^
Harry ran into the library and skidded to a stop. Madam Pince eyed him menacingly. He flashed a smile at her and started walking past rows of books.
"Alchemy to Anti-theft spells, birds to bones." Harry read off the different rows of books to himself. He finally got to 'Zebras to Zoology' when he heard a noise like someone sniffling. He peeked down the row and saw Hermione huddled in the corner, crying. He slowly made his way down between the bookshelf and the wall. Hermione looked up at him and glared. Harry took a step back and sat down on the cold floor.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked.
"What do you think?" She spat at him.
"I honestly don't know. When I'm around you nothing else matters. You know that. I got caught up in the moment." Harry pleaded. Hermione just sat there, but she wasn't glaring any more. Harry took that for a good sign.
"Tell me what to say."
"Oh me? Tell the wonderful Harry Potter what to say." She said angrily. "Hmm, what shall I tell him to say?" She glared again.
"Hermione. I'm sorry. A thousand times sorry." Hermione smiled and flung herself into Harry's arms.
"I take it that I'm forgiven."
"Yes silly. You are. Now, lets go back. Lavender and I have to explain to you and Ron what went on at that meeting." She said as she dragged Harry out of the library.
"Alright" He said, not quite knowing what he was getting himself into.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Harry found himself sitting next to Ron in the common room ten minutes later. Hermione and Lavender where trying to explain what went on at the meeting that they missed.
"Ok guys. You missed a lot. It's a good thing that I took some notes. So here is what you missed." Hermione said as she pulled out a thick muggle notebook. Ron's eyes bugged out at the sight of that notebook.
"You didn't actually miss that much." Lavender said. "Dumbledor just gave us more detail and some other information that the rest of the school didn't get the other day." Hermione was flipping through her notebook looking for the notes she took. Ron's face looked more frightened as she flipped further and further in to the book.
"Ah ha!" Hermione said as she pulled out a single piece of paper(much to Ron and Harry's relief.) and handed it to the boys.
Meeting notes. 3 June
Warning= do not use magic in public and even be careful using magic at home.
If you get caught doing magic, you could be experimented on my muggle scientists.
Muggles have a reward for the capture of any witch or wizard and our "stuff" animals etc.
WMC is looking for a new place for us to live
The moon(hidden towns with charms)
Atlantis(really exists, much to popular muggle belief)
A new planet, (that is just a few miles from Pluto, hidden with different spells to keep it concealed from scientists.)
The entire magical community will be moving to one of these three locations in the next three months or so.
"Wow." Was all that Harry could say.
"So this is all in a couple months?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, the WMC has been working on a new location for years. The muggles have been getting out of control. Dumbledor said that there is a 75% chance of us living on a whole new world. The moon is second and Atlantis is last." Lavender said.
" Why not Atlantis first?" Harry asked.
"the Atlantians like their privacy." Hermione stated mater-of-factly. "And besides, we would not like it down there. It's all caverns and such. Its damp, dark and cramped."
"Oh, so we will be going to a new galaxy then"
"Probably. It will be much better that here, I hope. But muggle born have a problem. Give up magic or our families." Hermione sniffled and blinked her eyes quickly to stop the tears from falling. Suddenly there was a quiet tapping sound on the window.
"Hedwig's back." Harry said as he jumped up to let her in. Hedwig fluttered in the window and landed on Harry's outstretched arm. Harry hugged her quickly and removed the letter from her leg.
"Thanks Hedwig. Go back to the Owlry and get some sleep." Hedwig hooted and flew out the window. Harry sat next to Ron and read the letter quietly out loud to Ron, Hermione and Lavender.
~~~Dear Harry,
It was great to get a letter from you. And yes, it had been a long time since we last wrote. As for your question about staying with me, my answer is of course! Why do you think that I bought a huge house with acres of land? To farm? So you can use that new broom that I got you. So how is the SunRacer working out for you anyway? I hope it fly's like a dream. Believe me Harry, I have more than enough room for you here. Hey, how about inviting you friends to live with us for the summer too. Well, I don't think that Ron's family would have a problem with him living with me since the house is so close to the Ministry of Magic.
On a more serious note, yes I did hear about the problem with muggles. The minister, Percy Weasly (did Ron tell you, Percy is the minister now?)~~~
"Ron, why didn't you tell us?" Harry asked.
"I honestly didn't know my self. I 'spect that I should hear about it soon though."
~~~Percy told me about when we met at a store. He said that we are going to a new planet that is about one hundred miles from Pluto. The name of the planet is Samhain, after the Druid holiday Samhain, The Feast of the Undead, where they light bonfires to keep the living safe. Percy also told me that the planet is not that big, and that there will be no separate countries there. It will just be one big country with different counties or different states, they don't know yet. The capital is called Lughnasad. Percy said that it is beautiful there now that there are spells up around it to keep in the little heat that the sun gives us. I can tell you much more when you are home.
Well, when school is out, I will be the one to pick you up and bring you home. So tell your uncle that we will just stop by to pick up your stuff at their house. And owl me and tell me what time the train is coming in. see you then.
Your loving godfather
Sirius
Harry looked up at his friends. A grin started to spread across his face. "I'm living with Sirius."

So how did you like it?? I really hope that you liked it a lot. I don't think that I ended it at a bad spot. And I'm sorry that I havn't been a faithful to this story as I should be, it is just that my account is being mean to me and not cooperating with me and what I want to do. Well, as soon as I correct chapter 4, it should be out in a day or two. Thank you for being patient with me and keep reading my story!!!
