Harry Potter and the Dream
Chapter 5

Ron was in their common room anxiously waiting to hear what McGonnagal had to say. When Harry and Hermione came in and related the story back to him, Ron had a similar look on his face as Harry and Hermione did when they found out. Ron thought for a minute, "Harry, what was the chance that you would actually buy that necklace? I mean, something seems fishy."

"I know. Next Hogsmeade weekend I'm going to go back to the jewelry store and see where they got it from."

"That's a great idea, mate. The next trip is Saturday, before the ball." Suddenly Hermione's hand flew up and she smacked her head on her forehead. At Harry and Ron's questioning looks, she explained herself.

"I didn't realize that the ball was coming up so soon. I'll need to get some new dress robes when we go to Hogsmeade." Harry looked at her.
"Why do you need new ones? The ones you wore last year were amazing." She blushed.

"I know I'm not the typical teenage girl and into make up and clothes and all that stuff. But Harry, this is our first real date and I want to look nice for you."

"Mione, you don't need to wear those fancy robes, you'll look beautiful no matter what you wear." Harry leaned down and kissed her, but reluctantly pulled apart when Ron started making gagging noises.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Saturday morning, Harry, Hermione, Ron and Lavender met in front of the prefect common room and headed to Hogsmeade together. Harry and Ron were going to the jewelry store to ask about the necklace while Hermione and Lavender went to look for new dress robes and then they would meet back at the Three Broomsticks for butterbeers. It was a good thing they were splitting up because Ron could barely talk to Lavender with out stuttering and blushing. Harry and Ron entered the jewelry store and spoke to the same guy who sold Harry the necklace. "Hello sir, I don't know if you remember me or not, but I bought a necklace here a couple of months ago and I was wondering if you could tell me where it came from."

"I'm sorry son, I got that a long, long time ago. I don't remember." Harry sighed, "That's ok, thanks anyway." Harry and Ron then turned and left the store.

"I'm sorry Harry, you'll figure it out soon."

"Yea, your right. I'm not going to let it bother me thought. I'm going to enjoy tonight with Hermione." Harry and Hermione walked across the street to the Weasley's store to pass the time until they met the girls. Meanwhile, Hermione and Lavender were in a store looking at dress robes, and Hermione sighed in frustration.

"Why can't I find one! There is racks and racks of robes and I can't find a single one I like. Wait a minute, Lavender come here. Is this not the exact color of Harry's eyes?" She shrieked and ran off into one of the dressing rooms. "Wow," Lavender thought. "This is nothing like Hermione usually acts. Sometimes it looks like she just got out of bed and didn't even brush her hair and now she's all worried about dress robes? She must really love Harry."

"Lavender, come here!" Lavender went to the dressing room she was in. When she saw the robes on her, she smiled. "Girl, Harry's gonna be knocked off his feet when he sees you. Now hurry up, I still have to find me robes to wear for my favorite little red head."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry and Ron were drinking butterbeers when Hermione and Lavender came in. Lavender sat down a little to close to Ron and he gulped and reached for his mug. Harry stood up before Hermione had the chance to sit down. "Will you come with me to get some more butterbeers Hermione?"

"Sure Harry" Harry and Hermione just rounded the corner and she opened her mouth to speak and Harry kissed her and her muffled words turned into giggles. "I missed you Mione." She laughed, "Harry, I was only gone for a hour and a half."

"I still missed you though." This time it was her that initiated the kiss and it quickly turned heated when they heard a "ahhem" from behind them.

"Sirius!" they shrieked. "What are you doing here?" Harry asked.

"I heard that Hogwarts was having a Hogsmeade weekend and I thought I'd stop by because I have something to tell you. But the real question here is what were you two doing?" Harry could tell that Sirius was trying to sound mad but wasn't really because of the twinkle in his eyes. Harry, not knowing what to say, started stuttering.

"Well you see, we were kinda, well, me and Hermione…"

"Sirius, Harry and I are going out. We love each other." Harry looked at Hermione with admiration. It took a lot of guts to tell an adult that you were in love at such a young age.

"Well I should say its about time. Hermione, you don't realize how many letters I've got from Harry going on and on about you. 'Mione is so smart and pretty' and 'Mione has such a hot..' Harry cut in. "Ok Sirius, what did you have to tell us?"

"You're not going to believe this. They've found wormtail. They gave him the truth potion and he told the Ministry the whole thing. I'm free, I've been cleared! That's also why I'm in Hogsmeade, tomorrow I'm going to go look for you and me a house. When today's paper gets around, everyone will know that I'm innocent. Harry, you can stay with me now!"

"Wow Sirius, that's great." He reached over and gave him a hug. Hermione did the same, but as she pulled back, her necklace got caught on one of his shirt buttons. When he went to unhook it, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. "Hermione, where did you get that necklace?"

"I gave it to her. Professor McGonnagal told me it used to be mum's."

"Yes it was. A couple of days before she… died, she gave it to me for safe keeping because she felt that something was going to happen to her. She gave it to me to give to you when you were older. But I lost it during the scuffle with wormtail and then they dragged me off to Azkaban, so I never got the chance to go back and look for it. Where on Earth did you find it?"

"I bought it at a jewelry store in Diagon Alley. I had no idea it was hers."

"Well, I'm glad you found it. I was really mad at myself for loosing it. She told me she wanted you to give it to the woman you loved, as James gave it to her." Harry could have sworn he saw his eyes get a little misty. "But it seems that you did, the colors are swirling." Harry and Hermione both blushed at this. Then Harry leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Yea, I love her a lot."

"You two are so much like Lily and James" Just then, Ron and Lavender came around the corner. "What's taking you guys so long… Sirius!"
"Hello Ron" he smiled, "Its good to see you." Lavender, on the other hand, wasn't feeling so good. "Si.. Sirius Black?!?" She had a look of pure fear on her face. Hermione quickly spoke, so Lavender didn't scream.

"Ron, I think you better explain this to her."

"Lav, this is Sirius Black, Harry's godfather. Everyone thinks that he is a murderer, but that's not true." Harry then cut in to tell her the latest of the news. When he was done, Lavender still hesitated, but then she thought that if no one else was afraid of him right now, she need not be. She held out her hand, "I'm Lavender Brown, sorry about before." Everyone released a sigh of relief.

"It's nice to meet you Ms. Brown." Then Sirius turned to the rest of them, "I want to talk more with all of you, but I should probably lay low until word gets around. Goodbye." When he was almost to the door, her turned around and said, "Oh, Harry?"

"yes?"

"I'm happy for you." A huge smiled appeared on Harry's face, "Thank you."

The four returned to the table with the butterbeers when Hermione turned to talk to Harry, "So Harry, no one knew anything about the necklace at the store?"

"No, my guess is that someone found it on the street and just pawned it or something."

"I'm sorry Harry, I know you were hoping that it would tell you something about your parents."

"It's ok Mione, I'm sure Sirius will now have time to tell me a whole bunch of things." She look at him and smiled and he kissed her sweetly. Ron rolled his eyes and Lavender giggled and said, "Are they always like this?"

"Oh yea, it was cute the first couple of times, but when you walk in the common room and see your best friends in a heavy snogging session, it's a little disturbing." Ron waited a minute or two and then started snapping his fingers in front of their faces. The couple pulled apart, blushing.

"Sorry Ron. We should probably be getting back, we have a Herbology exam Monday and I need to study a bit before the ball." Ron groaned.

"Hermione, can't you just study tomorrow like everyone else?"

"Ron, if you don't want to leave, I'll go back with Mione and you can stay here with Lavender."

"I'd like that Ron." Lavender smiled at him.

Ron blushed and said "Ok guys, see ya later."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Harry and Hermione got back to their common room, Harry spoke "Do you want to study in here or in the.." Hermione cut him off by grabbing his face and kissing him. They continued like this for a while until they stopped to catch their breath. Harry had a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I thought you wanted to study?"

"Oh, I do. I just wanted to do that first."

"Mione, I love you so much." They sat on the couch and he wrapped his arms around her and she snuggled up to his chest. They stayed that way for a while until they both fell asleep.
