~*~ I starting to get sick of writing these little note thingys before a chapter I think you all know I don't own any of this, except Melanie and a few inches of Dumbledore's beard! Hehehe!! I awoke with a start, panting for breath, I looked around me, it took me a moment to register where I was, I looked at the clock, it read 2:45, the 1st of September had fallen on a Friday this year, so there were to be no classes today or tomorrow, 'why did I wake up so suddenly?' I wondered, then it all came flooding back, my dream. I jumped out of bed, grabbed a fleecy blanket and started downstairs to the common room, the fire was still burning very dimly, it took me a minute to realise that somebody was still down there, Harry sat in front of the fire, just staring into the flames, "Bad dream?" I asked him quietly, he jumped, startled before turning and nodding. I set myself down in the armchair next to his and wrapped myself in the blanket, "me too, want to talk about it?" I questioned gently, not wanting to push him, he turned to me smiling, "you go first," he said, I shivered involuntary, remembering my dream, "Ok… well, I was at this gorgeous house, and inside there were these two adults a man and a woman, they were playing on the floor with a baby girl who looked about 3 years old, I couldn't see their faces properly, but they all looked so happy, then these shadowy guys came, they yelled at the two adults about something, and then started duelling with the male, the female had picked up the little girl, and put some sort of shield around her baby, then there were these two brilliant flashes of green light and the two adults were dead," I blinked back some tears, "then the shadows turned on the baby, they tried to point their wands at her to kill her, but when they did an electric charge or something would rebound onto them, then they left, disapperated or something, they just left the poor baby there, it was screaming for its mummy, crying, then another man appeared, but this man didn't seem so bad, he shook his head at the sight of the dead husband and wife, before turning to the baby, picking her up, he drew out his wand muttered something, the baby stopped crying straight away and started laughing, then he dissapperated, taking her with him," some tears trickled down my cheeks. I wrapped the blanket tighter around me and looked at Harry, he was staring at me with his mouth wide open in shock, "what?" I asked, "I had the exact same dream," Harry answered, "Oh, what does this mean?" I asked him shakily, "I'm not sure," he replied. "Harry? Dumbledore knows that Sirius is here." I watched him, knowing he was gonna blow up at me. "WHAT?!?!" he yelled, then put his hand over his mouth. "You told him, didn't you? Why would you do that? I need him here! You don't understand! No one understands, Sirius is the only thing that keeps me going, keeps me happy! Now you've taken that away, I won't know where he is anymore, why? Why did you do this to me Melanie?" his eyes burned furiously in to mine, then they softened and he looked at me pleadingly. I sighed. "Harry, I didn't know that Sirius wasn't meant to be there! You guys never told me and even though I understand why you didn't, since you thought I was Voldie's servant or something, but it doesn't mean you can blame it on me, and I know perfectly well how much Sirius means to you." "How?" Harry interrupted, "huh?" I replied. "How do you know how much Sirius means to me?" I thought a moment, I couldn't tell him about the books, but they weren't the only reason I knew, so in truth I wasn't really lying…. "Harry, its obvious, the way you pleaded with him on the plane, I know how you feel." I gulped. "Believe it or not I've partly been through it all, my mother hardly even breathes for me, always off partying, drinking, going on holidays, leaving me with my Aunt Laura, I understand alright Harry, even if I haven't had all the near death experiences you have, the closest thing to a real mother I've ever had is Hannah's mum, she's always been the adult I've turned to. Always. That's what it's like with Sirius isn't it? He is the only adult, that you feel you can talk to about anything, the only one you can trust.  You grew up, not being wanted by the only family you have, and now you find the closest thing you've ever had to your real father, Sirius is like the parent you've never had, and the thought of having him taken away from you, must totally shatter your heart. I'm sorry I told Professor D about Sirius, really I am, I just simply didn't know." I got up and gave Harry a huge hug. He was choking back tears, I whispered in his ear, "If you want I'll go to Dumbledore tomorrow morning and ask him if you can see Sirius before goes back.  And if he won't let you, well, we'll sneak out to see him." I pulled back and gave him a small smile, which he returned, "thanks Mel," he whispered. I grinned back at him, sitting back down in my chair and once again wrapping the blanket around me.  "I'm going back to bed," He got up and walked slowly up the stairs to the boy's dormitory, 'Poor Harry' I though sadly. I sighed quietly, then settled down in the armchair and tried to go back to sleep.
