A/N: Hi there! Long time no see, uh, chat, uh, whatever. Anyway, I'm really sorry I haven't written in a long time! I apologize heartily and beg for your forgiveness. I really need ideas as to what should happen later on. I also want to know, should I change the name, and if so, what should I change it to? This week's polls…Anyway, I promise to write more. The more opinions I get, the more writing I do. Oh, and can someone tell me how to have italics? Please? Thanks! I'll shut up now.

THANKS TO:

Author By Night: Sorry to have left you waiting… Yes, Ginny should have brought him home with her. But do you honestly think he would have allowed that? And Ginny is too shy and her friendship with Harry is too unstable in her mind for her to do that. And after all, she's only fourteen. She does things that make sense to only her. You'll see another example of that in this chapter. *evil grin*

Hikahi: You're right. I do need to change the title. What should it be though? The agony of decisions! (Can you tell deciding stuff isn't my strong point?) Thank you for the compliments. I'm sorry this took so long!

Hermione-Granger62194: *blushes* Thanks! I'm happy you like it. Oh and I had issues with adding things to my fave authors too. But eventually I figured it out. See, when you've just signed in, you click the "favorite author" link. At the bottom of the page, there's a box thing that says "Add author: UserID" Then a bluish box to enter something then a button that says "Add Author" in the bluish box, write the author you want to add's ID. You can find that on their profile page right under their penname. For future reference, mine is 150224

Hazelwand: *blushes bright red* Thank you very much! I love Sirius, too. I also like H/G, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this… Sorry it took so long!

Pyro: Thanks!

Lee Velviet: Collaborating with you would be soooooo fun! We should definitely do that! Once I finish this…Or even a fic that has nothing to do with this one! I definitely wouldn't like SB to be ticked at me either…Thanks for reviewing so much!

NicolaPadfoot: *blushes* I'm glad you like it so much. Very sorry I haven't written in so long! I don't really have an excuse either…besides writer's block. I'll definitely keep you posted.

Dabbler: Yes, I do plan to continue the story. I'm so sorry it took this long! It won't happen again! (I hope…)

Angie: Thanks so much!

Harry Potter and the Trial of Sirius Black

Chapter Six

***Several Hours before the last chapter***

Professor Albus Dumbledore was having second thoughts. As unusual as this was, it DID happen occasionally. He had thought leaving Harry Potter with his relatives was the right thing to do. After all, the boy was safe there. Or so he thought. The letter he held in his hands, however, suggested otherwise.

Dear Professor Dumbledore,

I am writing this letter for two reasons. The first is that I'm worried about Harry and this is what he said to do. The second is that I wrote to Snuffles and told him what I am about to tell you. I thought you might like to know.

To be concise, I believe that Harry's relatives have been abusing him. He even told me, albeit reluctantly. I promised that I wouldn't tell, but I can no longer keep that promise, as I believe he is in mortal danger. He hasn't responded to my last owl, and I intend to go after him. I thought you should know.

Sincerely,

Ginny Weasley

Dumbledore sighed heavily. It was time he did something to right this wrong. He summoned the two best people he could think of for the job.

****

Ginny heartbeat raced as she slowly eased the window open. She waited, listening carefully to make sure no one was on their way to the bathroom. She pulled Harry's Invisibility Cloak on and mounted the Firebolt.

The air was cool, but the feeling of flying at night was exhilarating. Had this been any other time, Ginny would have reveled in it. However, now was not the time.

When Ginny reached Number 4 Privet Drive, she flew over to the guest room window, which, thankfully was partly open. She squeezed through and pulled off the cloak. Tiptoeing down the hall to Harry's room, she set the Firebolt next to the door, leaning against the wall, and covered it with the Invisibility Cloak. Then, she set to work picking the lock.

However, what Ginny didn't know, was that the house had an alarm system. An alarm system which she set off by entering the house through the window. She didn't realize anything was amiss until it was too late.

Ginny heard the lock click and pushed the door open. She hurried into the room and looked wildly around for Harry. The first thing she noticed was a trail of a dark substance that looked suspiciously like blood from the floor to the bed. With some trepidation, she shuffled over to the bed, and steeling herself, pulled back the sheet. Her gasp of surprise at the battered state of Harry was drowned out by a low growl.

"If you so much as move, I'll blow your goddamn head off!"

Ginny's heart stopped. He sounded angry. Slowly she started to turn around, whispering "I'm not going to hurt any-" She was cut off by what seemed to be an explosion. A burning pain shot through her shoulder and she could feel the blood gushing from an open wound. Dizzily, she collapsed onto the floor. Ginny's last thought was the slamming of the door and the click of the lock before she slipped into oblivion.

A/N: My first cliffhanger! I'm so proud! Anyway, sorry it's short, but I have to go to bed now. If you want me to email you when I put up the next chapter, say so in a review. Please review! PLEASE! I'm begging you! I swear to put more up tomorrow. I really don't know where this is going. Any ideas, and I will definitely give you credit for them! Please tell me if I should change the name, as well. Does anyone even read my AN's? Anyway, I'm tired, so I'm off to bed. Ttfn! Be back tomorrow!
