The week passed very quickly for Harry, and didn't even notice it was Hogsmeade weekend. He really wanted to get the D.A. started again, but the most important thing that was on his mind was that Dumbledore has not been in school for a week and he was getting worried.

Professor McGonagall assured everyone that he was alright, and that he would be back soon, but Harry, Ron, and Hermione knew more details. A couple of days ago Harry received a letter from Lupin explaining the situation about Professor Dumbledore.

i

Dear Harry,

I hope you are all right. I just wanted to tell you not to be alarmed with Dumbledore's surprise disapearinse. He is here with me right now but I cannot explain the situation to you over the letter. Meet me at the Shrieking Shack at 12:00 pm when you go to Hogsmeade.

Best wishes,

Remus

P.S. Send the very best wishes to Hermione, Ron, and Ginny! /i

Harry couldn't wait to see what Remus had to say.

"Let's go Harry, we have to meet Remus in an hour and a half and I want to get some candy!" exclamied Ron

"All right, Let's go!" said Harry

"So Harry, did you tell anyone about the D.A. meeting yet?" asked Hermione

Harry stopped dead. After all this commotion with Dumbledore, Harry totally forgot about the D.A.

"I'm so dumb!" yelled Harry

"Calm down will you," said Hermione pulling out a coin out of her pocket " Remember this, I programmed it to keep in track of meetings. I already made plans for a meeting at 3:30 at the Three Broomsticks"

"You're good," said Ron looking at Hermione

"Thanks" smiled Hermione

"Thank you so much!" said Harry as they lined up in front of the list Filch was holding so that he could make sure that everyone is accounted for. Once the list was looked over, Harry and his friends headed towards Hogsmeade.

As he entered the village he smelt all different sorts of odors. Flowers were flowing in the breeze; purfume from shops got to Harry's nose. He loved coming to Hosmeade, and he especially loved Honeydukes. He loved to get candy and then pig out on them in the common room with Ron. It was the best!

"Guys, Hurry up! We're going to be late!" said Hermione as she hurried up towards the broken down building that they called the Shrieking Shack. It was supposed to be haunted, but it was just a cover up Sirius, James Potter, Remus, and Peter Pettigrew used to keep people away from the shack. They saw Lupin standing there waving at them.

"Hello! Hello! How are you?" he said

"We're good and you?" asked Hermione

"Alright, but we're really busy at the you-know-what" Lupin replied looking at Harry

"What exactly happened?" asked Harry

" Apparently," he said in a hoarse whisper " There is a traitor inside Hogwarts, After he saw the message on the wall . . ."

"How do you know about the message?" asked Harry

"Dumbledore told me," said Lupin " Dumbledore left in a hurry to go to the order."

"Where is he now?" asked Hermione

"I can't say, he will be back soon though," said Lupin

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out.

"I got to go," said Lupin and he apparated.

Hermione, Ron, and Harry turned and ran down towards the village as screams from students echoed all the way to Harry's ears.
