PT 3

Harry was trapped, his two best friends stood there in front of him with glazed expressions on their faces and behind him, he froze with fear.

"Ron, mione please, give me it back before Peeves sees us!"

"What? Peeves! Hell Harry catch" Ron threw the box to Harry "we'll see you in the common room in five minuets for an explanation and it better be good, got it? Harry grinned at Ron and disappeared down a corridor narrowly avoiding Peeves much to his annoyance.

"Why its potty wee Potter.. hey watch it Potter!!" he yelled as Harry skidded round a corner leaving a baffled Peeves in his wake "I knew I was scary but that's a first."

Back in the great hall Ginny was still reading and re-reading the paper, she just couldn't believe what she was seeing. Turning to speak to Harry she noticed he was gone "Ron, where did..." but he was gone as well, so, she noticed was Hermoine "Now where did they go?... Colin have you seen Harry?" Colin Creevy who had just arrived in the hall glanced round at the sound of his name.

"What? Oh morning Ginny, no I haven't but Ron and Mione are just outside the hall. They seemed a bit excited about something!" he said as he sat down to breakfast.

"Really? Thanks Colin"

"No prob." but she was already gone "..lem" he shrugged and started to eat.

"Ron calm down. If it is what we think then we have to keep calm or she'll suspect something and Harry will never forgive us" Hermione tried her utmost to calm her friend who could barley stand still he was so excited. Then a thought occurred to him,

"But what if it's not what we think?"

"Then we wait until he tells us, but don't jump to any conclusions"

"About what?" They span to find Ginny smiling at them,

"Nothing Ginny" Ron tried to cover some of his excitement "we were just wondering what Harry was going to say in his letter to Sirius."

"ah. That's why he left the table. So, where is he?"

"um I think he went to his dorm" Hermione answered as Ginny thanked her and ran towards Griffindor tower

"Mione why did you tell her where he went?"

"Because he's had more than enough time to hide that thing and I'm not lying to your sister, besides she'd have found him herself as soon as she went for her bags"

"Yeah I suppose"

"It's just a good thing we brought ours with us"

"Hm, hey Mione wasn't you going to talk to Harry about that book?"

"What? Oh no, well we've got care of magical creatures this afternoon I'll speak to him then. Now I'm going back into the hall I never did get any food"

"Yeah your right" so the two friends made their way back to breakfast.

Harry sat on his bed admiring the contents of the box when he remembered the letter that Hedwig had brought. He recognised the handwriting as Sirius' and opened it curiously, inside was one sheet of paper with a simple message on

'Harry, ministry is not allowing students to stay at

School for Christmas (Dumbledore will explain) and my house is not ready yet so you've been invited back to the Burrow for the holiday (that should surprise Ron not to mention Ginny [wink, wink]) enjoy yourself and write back.

P.S. What's this about a dream let me know A.S.A.P.

That last part was written in a different ink as though added at the last second bet, 'How did he know about the dream?' he thought, but was soon brought back to reality when a sweet voice drifted up from the common room.

"Harry? You up there?" It was then that Harry realised what the letter had said,

"I'm gonna be spending Christmas with Ginny, YES that's perfect" he could hear Ginny walking up the stairs and just managed to hide the box in his trunk when she opened the door

"Harry I've just seen the news about Sirius" she was smiling so much Harry couldn't help but join her

"That's not all Gin!" This statement got her attention

"What do you mean?"

"Well now that Sirius is free I don't have to stay in Privet Drive, I'm leaving the Dursleys!" the next thing Harry knew she was in his arms, hugging him, she was so happy but then she released him, a frown on her pretty face,

"Harry what's that on your bed?" and before he could stop her she had ducked under his arms and grabbed Sirius' letter, her facial expression changed from one of shock to pure joy as she once again threw herself into Harry's arms and stared into his emerald eyes before kissing him with a passion he couldn't help but return.

But as with every time they began to enjoy each other they were interrupted, this time by someone coming up the stairs. Harry groaned knowing exactly who it was "Ron" he sighed but Ginnys eyes seemed to sparkle even more,

"You wait till we tell him" but she was silenced by Harry's finger being pressed against her lips,

"Not yet. Lets wait till after Dumbledore's notice, that way we get to have some fun at his expense lets call it pay back for interrupting our moment together, again!" Ginny's smile turned into a wicked grin and she nodded her agreement before kissing him again just as the door opened.

"Ron do you have radar or something?" Ginny joked

"Look I don't like this any more than you sis, but Mione and I drew lots and I lost" he sighed heavily "Dumbledore wants everyone in the great hall for some big announcement"

Harry and Ginny had to stop themselves from laughing, as they looked around the hall at all the nervous faces and were gratified to see that they included the Slytherin table.

"Attention please" Dumbledore was stood at the head table looking around the hall at all present "As I'm sure you all know by now the ministry of magic have released an official pardon for Sirius Black for any and all crimes he was accused of, because of this myself and the faculty of Hogwarts have been asked to preside over the trial of Peter Petigrew, this however means that there will be no teachers here during the holidays so the ministry has sent letters to all your families arranging for all of you to return home this year!" after the chatter and commotion had died down he continued "As this means that you all have to contact you families and arrange things, tour first classes today have been cancelled" There was a cheer from the Griffindor table(potions had been cancelled) "however I suggest that once you have sent your letters you should use the rest of the time 'constructively" he smiled at them all then left the hall. The noise started immediately, everyone talking to everyone else while getting out their quills and starting to write home. Harry could feel Ron and Hermione's eyes on him just waiting for his reaction but he just sat there calmly with Ginny's arm around his waist, her head on his shoulder.

After about five minutes of this during which Harry could swear Ginny was trying not to giggle, Ron decided to break the tension

"Harry man. I'm so sorry! What a rotten Christmas"

"Oh it won't be that bad" he responded

"Not that bad!! Are you nuts? Fine you won't have to worry about presents cause of all of us, but they'll starve you, you know that!"

"Why? Your mum's never starved me before, why would she start now?"

"She wouldn't but..hang on.." That was as much as Ginny could take, the look on Ron's face broke her last barrier and her laughter filtered out across the hall

"Whats so funny?" Hermione asked as both Ron and herself where intotal confusion now.

"Please Harry tell them" Ginny was now holding on to Harry for stability

Harry could barely keep a straight face as he pulled Sirius' letter out and tossed it to Ron who caught it and scowled at the untidy script, that scowl soon turned to a look of utter delight as he passed it to Hermione who's face went through the same motions as Ron's and when they both looked up to comment on the letter to Harry they noticed that both he and Ginny had vanished.
