The trio entered Gryffindor tower to find a large group of students huddled around the fire.

"What's going on?" Harry asked some first year nearby.

"Ginny Weasley's got a dog!"

"WHAT!" Harry dug his way through the throng of people to find Ginny in the center, all were cooing over the dog and stroking it.

"Aww! Isn't he adorable?"

"-so well mannered,"

"What's his name Ginny?"

"GINNY!" Harry seethed.

"Oh, there you are Harry. I've been looking for you,"

"And doing a pretty good job sitting there mind you," he snapped.

"Oh, Harry," she got up and tugged him through the crowd and pulled him into a corner, beckoning Ron and Hermione over too.

"GINNY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!" Ron shouted.

"How did you know Sirius was here?" Harry whispered.

"Oh, Ginny!" Hermione added, sighing.

"-CRAZY LITTLE GIRL! HE COULD BE KILLED! W-"

"Dumbledore brought him over. He can't change back Harry, so it's okay!"

"WHAT IF SOMEONE FOUND OUT! GINNY I-"

"No it's not! I think Malfoy knows he's Sirius!"

"And so what if he does? There's no way he can prove it! He can't change back!"

"MUM AND DAD SHOULD DISOWN YOU FOR BEING SO STUP-"

"RON SHUT UP!" and she slapped him.

She turned back her attention to Ginny while Ron sat there, clutching his face, and incredulous look plastered onto his pink face.

"So he can stay?"

"Yeah!"

"Just wander around the school without trouble?"

"Yeah!"

"ARE YOU MAD!" yelled Harry. The common room stared at him.

"Letting one of the Marauders back into Hogwarts, even as a dog!"

Ginny did something Harry thought he'd never see Ginny do.

She grinned evilly.

"You guys, this is our year. The year we whip Slytherin back down with the rest of the humble houses and make Gryffindor shine! Stand out! Be noticed as 'The' House!"

"And with Hogwarts number one prankster on our side, sorry Fred and George," Ron muttered bowing his head in respect for the two fallen pranksters, "but Sirius was first, we could tear this place apart!"

Harry and Hermione stared at the two Weasley's, their bright red hair and pink faces glowed eerily because of the fire.

"Oi! Snuffles!" Ginny called. This was a side of her Harry had never seen before, he still stared bewildered at her. The dog came bounding out of the crowd. "You ready to reek havoc on this place once more. In memory for the fallen Marauder!"

The dog howled in agreement.

"THIS PLACE IS GOING DOWN!" shouted Ginny.
