They had finally reached the Ministry. Once again, Harry was walking down the familiar hallway to the Department of Ministries, but this time Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Dumbledore, Mad Eye Moody, Lupin, and Tonks where with him. Once again, Harry was in the round room with so many doors. One again the room revolved. Then, Dumbledore opened the door closest to him. Now, once again, Harry was in the room with the veil and arch. Once again, Harry heard voices from the other side. "Don't you hear them? Don't you? I knew I heard them last time!" Harry shrieked.
"I hear them too!" Luna exclaimed.
"Harry, what are you talking about?" Ron asked shaking Harry to make sure his best friend hadn't lost his mind.
"No, Ron! Look, it must be like the Thestrals…whoever knows someone that died, could hear them!" Hermione assumed.
"Very good, Miss Granger." Dumbledore said with a smile on his face. "Harry and Luna both know someone that has died. Neville too had heard the voices last time."
"So you're saying that the ghosts of the people that died are behind that arch? It's like a doorway to the heavens?" Ron asked.
"No not ghosts, Mr. Weasley, spirits. They have their own world behind there. Just like ours, but for the 'souls' of the ones that passed away." Dumbledore said.
"So, can we go into that world?" Harry asked. "To, you know, meet our, er, loved ones?"
"Only the ones that have seen or known someone die. So…"
"That means we can go see Sirius too! We knew him!" Ron exclaimed.
"But alas, Mr. Weasley, only the people who were closest or family to the person that died could go see him or her. Do you understand?" Ron nodded his head in disappointment. "Good. I'm sorry Ron, but Harry would be the only one qualified. Even if you did go, I'm afraid the gravitational force would rip you apart!" Dumbledore said in a fatherly way.
"But what would happen to Harry then?" Hermione asked.
"Ah, always thinking the right way, Miss Granger! Since Sirius is Harry's Godfather, he would be able to go. The 'other world' is much too complicated for your young minds. Do not worry about your friend; I assure you he will come back in one piece!" Chuckled Dumbledore.
"But what about Luna? Her mother died. Can't she go with me?" Harry pleaded.
"Of course she can!" said Dumbledore.
After everyone exchanged their "be careful's" and "good luck's", Harry and Luna stepped into the arch. Harry felt like he was being thrown around like a ping-pong ball when he felt Luna's hand. He held her back knowing this would be a very scary trip for her. Harry shut his eyes tight hoping Luna couldn't see his face. After about a few minutes, which seemed like hours to Harry, he felt his feet touch the ground. He opened his eyes and was surprised to see he was standing in Hogsmead! Behind him was the arch and from behind it he heard Dumbledore's distant voice: "You have two hours!" Harry couldn't believe where he was. Then, he realized he was still clutching Luna's hand. "Harry, are you okay?" She asked.
"Yea I'm fine."
"Ok, where do you want to go?"
"The Three Broomsticks."
