Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any related works of J.K. Rowling, Scholastic Publishing, or Bloomsbury-whatever. I put this here so I don't get sued, not to give you readers more to look at. I DO own Kate, so I did something. And I don't own Ashadu; he's Jigon's idea for Voldemort's alias. Cheers,

~Lord Voldemort's Heir~

A/N: I'm not very descriptive, I don't think so anyway, so please bear with me, there's a grizzly behind me and he's kind of intimidating lol. Why are you all throwing tomatoes at me? You didn't even start reading the fic! Anyway, this is my first ever fanfic and I'm going to need A LOT of help! If you're confused, or if I make any mistakes, even caPitiLiZation or punctuatio'n, especially speling, tell me and I'll improve. (Or die trying)

Chapter 5: She Was On All of Their Minds

A/N #2: This is kind of a mini-chapter. One of those in-betweens, if you will. Deal with it, k?

A/N #3: Points of view for this chapter are as follows:

Sirius Black Severus Snape Hmmm…I guess it's the Griffindor's POV. It could be Remus's, you really can't tell.

*******************

There's no point in denying it. Sirius thought to himself. You like her, and you know it. You can tell her. Kate was the only thing on Sirius's mind. He couldn't ignore it anymore. He couldn't say that they were 'just friends'. She seemed so real to him; they seemed so real to him. Why couldn't he just tell her how he felt about her? He'd never felt so confused and (could it be possible?)…afraid.

"Hey, Severus, Jan! Come here!" Tom Lestrange yelled across the Slytherin

Common Room. "Look what Bella and I found in the Daily Prophet!" Snape and Jan Avery looked at the short article in the Prophet.

New Anti-Muggle Order in Magical Community

A wizard fashioning himself as Ashadu is the leader of a new, Anti-Muggle wizarding order. This order, called S.P.A.M., short for Society for the Prevention of Antagonizing Muggles, is for the promotion of wizarding blood throughout the country. Minister of Magic Dominic Muldoon supports this stand for the magical community against Muggle antagonists but advises S.P.A.M. and the rest of the wizarding community in Britain to "not get too carried away."

There was a brief silence among the group.

"So?" Tom asked.

"So, what?" Snape replied.

"So, are you guys going to look into this new order?"

" I don't know," Snape said. "How 'bout you, Jan?"

"I think I'd look into it," Jan said.

"It'd be great to get at that Evans Mudblood." Bellatrix added.

"Yeah," Severus said finally. "Yeah, you're right. I'll take a shot at it."

"Great!" Tom said. "Then we're all in?"

"All except Kate." Severus said. "I wonder if she'd like to join."

*******************

Remus, James, and Peter sat in the Griffindor Common Room doing their weekend Transfiguration, Potions, and Muggle Studies homework. Remus sighed.

"Looks like McGonagall really loaded you down, Remus." James said. "I guess it's because, er," He paused. "Because you're feeling off-color." He said quickly to cover up his uneasiness for talking about Remus's reason for not making classes.

"Yeah, but you guys make all the work worth it." Remus said. "Did you finish that Potions essay yet?"

"No, I'm working on it. Sablye wants us to do a four-foot essay on the bezoar. The bezoar! As it we didn't do that in first year!" James complained. Lily Evans came down the stairs into the Common Room from the girls' dormitories.

"I just don't get this Muggle Studies stuff. I might just drop it." Peter whined.

"Here," Lily said to him. "Let me help you." As Lily and Peter worked on the Muggle Studies, James and Remus went upstairs to the boys' dormitory.

"James, we need to talk."

"Sure Moony. What about?"

"About Kate,"
