"Do you think he's alright?" Harry heard Hermione's worried voice before he opened his eyes nad remembered where he was.

He jumped whne he woke up, and Hermione and Ron both turned to stare at him.

"Morning.."Ron said quietly, and Harry tried to sit up, groaned, and fell back against the pillows behind his head, a hand over his scar.

"Mrs. Wealsey and I made some pain reduction potion...if you need any.."hermione added quietly.

"Yeah..that'd be nice..thanks Hermione.."Harry said, and she nodded silently, leaving the room.

"Are you feeling any better?" Ron asked, and Harry nodded, glancing over at the door, where he heard Mrs. Weasley and Hermione talking in hushed tones.

"Um..did Ginny get back alright?" he asked quietly, and Ron nodded, staring at Harry curiously, a small grin on his face.

"What..what's the matter?" he asked, and Ron picked the Daily Prophet off of the coffee table, and handed it to Harry.

BLACK PROOVED INNOCENT

Due to a series of complications in the Potter murder case of 1980, The Ministry of Magic failed to notice that the Potter's secret keeper was in fact Peter Pettegriew, who was found yesterday in a raid outside of Little Hangleton. Because of this, Sirius Black has been aquitted of all charges brought against him, and given a sum estimated at 1,000,000,000 galleons for his time spent in Azkaban. When asked what he was going to do with all of the money, he responded simply,"Give my god son 15 years worth of Birthday presents.." In the raid last night, fourty death eaters were killed. Although rumors of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's return have been flying around since the unfortunate death of Cedric Diggory, he was not spotted.

"Pretty cool? Don't you think?" Sirius was standing in the doorway when Harry looked up, a smile spreading across his face.

"Fifteen years, huh?"Harry responded,"How much money does that add up to?"

"Lots, I assure you.."Sirius said, and hugged Harry tightly, sitting down on the couch next to him.

"Harry, here's the pot-Sirius!"she smiled at him from the doorway, and walked over, handing the potion to harry, who drank it, coughing at the taste.

It took Harry a minute to notice that Ron was staring at Hermione, a smile on his face. During Sirius and Hermion's conversation, he hardly blinked.

"Are you feeling better, Harry?" Hermione asked, and he nodded, stading up, and walking over to her, hugging her tightly, and mouthing,"You fancy Hermione!" to Ron, who's ears went pink.

"I do not!" he said indignantly, out loud, and Hermione turned to stare at Ron, her eyebrows raised.

"What are you talking about Ron?" she asked, annoyed,"I was talking to Harry, and..."

"I'm sorry.."Harry said quietly, and she stared at him for a moment, before crushing him into a hug again.

"Harry...you don't have to be sorry for anything.."she said softly, and he looked down.

"I'm sorry..but I can't talk about it yet.."he responded, and looked down, clasping his hands together, and walked back over to the couch, sitting down next to Sirius.

Ron narrowed his eyes in confusion, and looked over at Harry.

"So it's okay to tell my sister, but not us?" he asked, and Harry glanced up at him, confused.

"I-"he started, and Ron walked towards him.

"Ron, leave him alone.."Hermione said quietly, and put her hand on his arm.

"Let go of me Hermione!" Ron exclaimed, and she pulled her hand off of his arm.

"I never told Ginny,"Harry said quietly, and looked at Hermione, who had stomped out of the back door, and slammed it, making the house rattle,"And good going.."he added sarcastically, and followed her out the door.

"Do you kno-"Ron turned to Sirius, and Sirius glanced up at him.

"I do..and I wish I didn't.."he walked into the kitchen, leaving Ron alone.
