Disclaimer: I don't own it. It all belongs to the evil J.K. Rowling, who
decides to kill off the best character ever.... I'm still sad....
A/n: I got 9, count 'em NINE reviews for the last chappie. You guys are so awesome! That brings the total to 43! That's more than my last story got and it had 16 chappies! But it sucked, so yeah. I like this story A LOT better. But, what should you care about that? If you're here, you probably want to read the story! And for you nasty people whose minds live in the gutter... This fic is rated pg. Nothing happened!
Chapter Eight
They were alone in the common room. The fire crackled, the flames slowly dying. It was the only light in the room, because it was late. Everyone was asleep. He was too, she could tell by his slow, regular breathing. She was in bliss. Nothing could be better, lying in his arms. She wanted this to last forever....
But then a thought pricked at the back of her mind. 'You know it's not going to work...' It told her. 'He's going to be put in jail. James and Lily will die, and everyone will believe it was at his hands.' But then, there was a hopeful thought. Maybe she could save him. She had heard that it was on Halloween night, Harry's first, when it happened. Maybe... just maybe... she could keep Sirius from the scene, until they heard from someone else what happened... he wouldn't be accused because he wouldn't have been at their house.
"I'm playing with fate." She whispered to herself. But there had to have been a reason why she was sent here. Why not to fix things? But what if it doesn't work? It has to, she decided.
She slipped out of his arms and went to sit in the windowsill. 'It's good tomorrow- well, today- is Saturday.... I'm going to be tired.' She rests her head on her knees.
Another thought came to her mind. 'You aren't being truthful. He doesn't know that you're from the future.' It was true. But she hadn't told anyone, except for Dumbledore, but she had to tell him. No one else knew. Dumbledore had told her to keep it a secret, but she wanted to tell Sirius. She trusted him. He'd keep it a secret. But he might ask questions. And those she wanted to avoid if at all possible. That was only if he believed her, which was very unlikely. He'd probably send her off to St. Mungo's or something. She sighs. 'Life is difficult.'
She had finally decided to go to bed when a pair of arms slid around her neck. She jumped. She had forgotten Sirius was even in the room. She turns to face him and smiles.
"I want to show you something." He holds out James's invisibility cloak.
"Alright." She takes his hand and they walk out of the common room.

Ginny woke, or came back to reality, when Hermione slid into the seat across from her in the Library.
"Mind if I sit here with you?"
Ginny smiles. "Of course not. Go ahead. Homework?"
Hermione nods. "Snape has given us three feet of parchment on werewolves."
Ginny raises an eyebrow. "Werewolves?"
Hermione answers, "Yeah."
Ginny smiles.
Hermione says, "Then, of course, you know about-"
Ginny looks around and nods. "He's not dangerous or anything."
"Of course not." Hermione goes off into a reverie.
Ginny snaps in front of her face. "Earth to Hermione, this is Ginny speaking...."
Hermione blinks a few times and shakes her head. "Oh, yes, sorry." Ginny is grinning, mischievously, probably something she picked up from Sirius.
"It looks like you and I have the same dilemma." 'We've both hopelessly fallen for a member of the Marauders.'
"What? Do you-" She looks around to see if anyone is listening, "like him too?"
Ginny bursts out laughing. "No, no, no, no, no. That's not what I meant."
"What did you mean then? Why is that so funny?"
"I can't tell you. But you'll probably find out eventually."
"You're going mysterious on me."
"Yep. Now, I need to go talk to Prof. Lupin, and unless you'd like to join me-" She looks at her expectantly.
"But it's his *grins* time of the month, if you know what I mean."
Ginny laughs. "Oh, yes, I forgot about that. Well, I guess I'll just go for a walk then."
"I'll see you later."
"Ok. Bye." Ginny stands up and walks out of the room.
Hermione smiles and looks down to begin working. She picks up a leather covered book marked '81. "Ginny, you left your-" But Ginny's already gone. "What is this anyway? She wouldn't mind if I looked at it.." She opens it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ginny walks through the halls, trying to remember what happened in the little flashback/dream she had. He had wanted to show her something. What was it? 'Oh, yes, it was the passageway that led to the forbidden forest. That must have been how he got in the other night. Where did it open?' She looks around and sees a picture of a little girl and a dog. "That's it!" A couple of first years walking by look at her weird. She doesn't notice.
She runs off to the kitchens to get some food to take to Sirius.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She is facing the portrait of the little girl and dog now. She's trying not to look too suspicious, while trying to figure out what to do now. The dog wags his tail and barks. She smiles, remembering. She looks around, and sees Harry coming up from a distance, but decides to risk it. She gives her best 'bark' to the picture. The little girl giggles and the picture swings open. She is in and gone before Harry walks by. The little girl from the picture looks at him, and says, "Well, aren't you going to bark for me too?" Harry gives it a weird look and keeps walking.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Lumos." Ginny whispers and the tunnel is lit up a little. It's a good long way to the other end. It leads right into the heart of the forest, into a clearing.
When she finally gets to the other end, it's dark, considering she left the castle when it was sunset. She looks around, and doesn't see anyone. "Sirius...." Once again, no answer. She frowns. "I didn't walk all the way out here for you to not be here..." She realizes something. "Or for you to avoid me. I've got food; goodness knows you're probably hungry." She walks off a little way.
This is when she sees a dog lying down on the grass asleep. Deeply asleep. She smiles and walks over there. "I finally find him after thirteen years, and he's sleeping. Sleeping. That figures." She sets the food down near him. She then hesitates a little before running her hand over his fur. "I'll let you sleep." She says, softly. She takes out a piece of paper from her bag and writes a note. She sits there for awhile, hoping he'll wake up, but finally gives up and heads back to the school through the tunnel. Sirius wakes up a while after she's gone, and finds the food and the note. He changes to human form and picks up the note.
