So everyone, here is Chapter 9!

"Should we tell Hermione?" asked Harry.

"We should tell Dumbledore first, just to make sure" replied Ron as he started towards the stairs.

"Ummm . . .Ron . . .Can I change first?" asked Harry looking down at his sleeping clothes.

"I think that would be best," said Ron looking at Harry with a grin.

Harry got changed and followed Ron toward Dumbledore's office.

"Wait! This doesn't look good," said Ron

Harry looked and saw a magical barrier between the gargoyle and the stairs behind it.

"Let's go see Professor McGonagall,"said Harry as the hurried toward her office "Wonder what happened to Professor Dumbledore?"

"I wonder too," replied Ron as they saw Professor Mcgonagall's office up ahead.

"What is the matter boys because I am in no mood right now!" said the Professor as they entered.

"Hermione's in trouble!" splurted out Ron

"What?" asked Professor McGonagall

"There was a poem written to Harry on a wall talking about Hermione!" said Ron

"Show me immeaditly!" she replied and ushered them out the door.

She followed Ron and Harry to the blank wall. Ron did the same spell and the poem appeared. The Professor read it and looked completley terrified.

"Does Miss Granger have any enemies?" asked the Professor

"Only Malfoy.. . Wait . . .It couldn't have been him" said Harry

"What is it Mr. Potter?" she asked

"Last night after everyone went to bed, I was sitting by the windowsill and I saw something come out of the Forbidden Forest, and enter into the castle. I was about to go check it out, but then I fell asleep," said Harry remembering every little detail.

"I will tell this to Dumbledore, thank you boys, just watch over Miss Granger and do not tell her of this" she said and hurried off mumbling something

"Professor!" yelled Harry

"Yes, Mr. Potter?" she asked

"What happened to Professor Dumbledore's office?" he asked

"I can't tell you just yet, all I can tell you is that some-one did brake into Hogwarts last night and was looking for some-one" the Professor replied.

"I thought Hogwarts was surrounded by spells so that no-one could have broken in!" said Ron

"I was thinking the same thing Mr. Weasley, but what I think is that a teacher or student went outside, into the Forbidden Forest, and then came back in," said Professor McGonagall " But I am in a hurry, good day boys".

Professor McGonagall turned and walked down the stairs.

"We will watch over Hermione?" asked Ron to Harry

"Yes, we will," said Harry with a serious look on his face.

"Oh NO! Classes they start in ten minutes, and we have to get to potions!" exclamied Ron.

Harry and Ron grabbed their books and ran toward the Potions classroom, and they got their two minutes before the bell rand. They took their seats next to Hermione.

"Where were you two all morning?" asked Hermione

"We had to ask Professor McGonagall something, that's all," said Ron looking at Harry who nodded his head up-and-down.

"Alright, if that's all" she replied softly and went back to studying her pictures of the escaped Deatheaters.

Harry looked over her shoulder at the different convicts. Suddenly he felt a little weird and woosy.

(Flashback)

Harry was in a graveyard. There were hooded people all around him and Cedric Diggory. He heard a cold dark voice "Kill the spare". Harry watched as a jet of green light hit Cedric and watched as he crumpled to the ground, dead.

(End of flashback)

"Harry! Are you alright?" asked Ron

Harry looked at Ron then at the worried face of Hermione. He was shaking all over, and his scar was burning.

"What happened?" asked Harry

"You got all shaky, and kept mumbling Cedric . . .No Cedric!" said Ron.

"Harry, you need to go to the Hospital Wing!" said Hermione.

"I went back to the graveyard in my fourth year. I went back to when Voldemort killed Cedric," said Harry as he watched Ron flinch at the name Voldemort.

"Is this the same thing that happened back on the train?" asked Hermione.

"Yes!" said Harry feeling a little better " I think I'm going to stay for class"

Harry couldn't believe the words he just said. He was going to stay for his least favorite class. Harry just didn't want to get extra homework for getting out of class, and if Draco Malfoy found out about his flashbacks, Harry would get made fun of. It didn't really matter much to Harry since he had something on Malfoy's dad, Lucius. Lucius Malfoy was a Deatheater, and Harry knew about it. But since the Ministry thinks Lucius is a good man, Harry wouldn't be able to explain it.

"But Harry, you have a Qudditch Match tomorrow, what if you get a flashback when you're playing!" exclaimed Hermione.

"I'm fine, Hermione, don't worry" replied Harry.

"Are you two done with your childish talk?" asked Professor Snape.

"Yes . . .sir" replied Hermione not looking up at the Professor.

"Good, now if the class has anything else to say," he looked around at the class " Apparently not . . . we will coninue with our Polyjuice potion."

Harry got out his ingredients and started working. At lunch the mail came. Hundreds of owls swooped into the Great Hall. It seemed like all the sixth years got a letter, even Harry. He opened up the letter and found that it was his O.W.L.S grades that he took last year.

"No wonder im in Snapes class, I got all the classes in need to become an auror," said Harry looking down at the paper in his hands.

"I got the classes for working at the ministry!" said Ron

"WOW! I got classes for either becoming an auror or a medical person, or something, they wrote so badly on my paper" said Hermione squinting at the paper to make out the words.

"Look up at the staff table, Professor Dumbledore's not there!" said Harry

"What happened?" asked Hermione looking worried.

Harry watched as Professor McGonagall stood up and taped on her goblet. The Great Hall became silent.

"The afternoon classes for today are cancelled due to an incident that I cannot say yet, enjoy the rest of your day" said the Professor and she walked out of the Great Hall in a hurry

Harry, Ron, and Hermione got up and walked to the Gryffindor common room, and got their scarfs. As they were coming down the steps Ginny and Neville stopped them.

"Can we come along too?" asked Neville

"Sure, we'll wait for you down here" said Hermione.

"Thanks" replied Ginny and hurried up the stairs.

After Neville and Ginny came back down, all five of them took a stroll outside. They sat by the edge of the lake, but nobody talked. Harry and Ron really wanted to tell Hermione about the poem, but watching Hermione smile and the fish swam in the water, they didn't want her to panic. Or would she? Hermione was strong, and brave. She never let Harry, Ron, Neville, or Ginny down. Suddenly she spoke up.

"Ready for the Qudditch match Harry, Ron, Ginny?"

Ginny was made chaser this year, Harry was the seeker, and Ron was the keeper for Gryffindor's Qudditch team.

"I think we're all ready, right?" asked Harry to Ginny and Ron

"Right!" they replied.

"Well that's good, because it's against Slytherin" said Neville.

"Why is it always against Slytherin?" asked Ginny

"I don't know, but Harry can knock Malfoy off his broom for us!" exclamied Ron

Everyone laughed and continued talking until the sun started to set, and they got up and headed back towards the castle.
