Chapter Thirty-three
The Thestrals
"O.K.... please tell me on how you expect to do this?" asks Ron, while getting into his pajamas. "Well, I just figured that maybe if I concentrate hard enough, maybe even try and write a spell, I can be able to see inside of Voldemort's head without him knowing." Say Harry while looking through the mirror that Sirius gave him. "Do you think I should call him up and tell him Ron?" "Who? Sir--" "SHHHHH!!!!" Harry said while covering up Ron's mouth. "Don't say his name, or else the mirror will call him!" He took his hand off Ron's mouth. "Oh yeah.... Sorry..." Harry wrapped up the mirror again and put it at the bottom of his trunk, under his cloths and books. He knew he and Ron should try to get into Voldemort's head tonight, but he and Ron had big tests coming up, and they couldn't risk getting bad grades on them. "So...when do you think we should try to get inside his head?" Ron asked while putting all his books that were on his bed in his trunk. "Why don't you just say Voldemort? It wont kill you!" Harry snapped, his temper rising. "You don't know that it won't kill me!" Ron yells, "And don't get upset over nothing! We have more important things to do! All year your temper has been going overboard! What's with you?!" Both of them just stared stonily at each other. "I'm going to bed, we can try and look in..." Ron hesitated for a moment, and then finally said, "Voldemort's head tomorrow." Then Ron turned of the light, and went to sleep.
After an hour or so, to make sure Ron was really asleep, Harry turned on the light on his night table and walked over to the window. Then moon was bright and full, but wasn't strong enough for Harry to be able to see the grounds below. Harry could vaguely make out Hagrid's hut. All he saw was a little light coming from one of the rooms. Then, in the forests next to Hagrid's hut, Harry noticed something moving in the moonlight. It went right over towards Hagrid's hut. What in the world is that?! All Harry saw was that it was big. Not huge, but big enough for two, or even three people, to get on it. It looked like an animal of some sort, but he didn't know what kind. I need to go down there and see what that is! What if it tries to hurt Hagrid?! Harry grabbed his invisibility cloak and headed for the dormitory door. Wait... He thought. I need to get Ron and Hermione. So Harry went over to Ron's bed and woke him up first. "Ron! Ron!" Harry said in a low whisper. "Wake up Ron. There is something over near Hagrid's!" Ron sat up and rubbed his eye. "Huh? Wha ist arry?" Still half asleep. "Get up now Ron! Come on! We need to get Hermione! "Huh? Oh, okayyy." Ron says while yawning. Harry grabbed Ron's arm, pulled him out of bed, and dragged him over to the girl's dormitory stairway. As Harry and Ron almost reach the top of the stairway, a loud alarm sounds, and the stairs folded down and turned into a slide. "Whoooooa!" Ron and Harry both say as the slide down the stairs. "I'm up! I'm up!" Ron cried as they reached the bottom of the stairs. "Hurry Ron! Put this on!" Harry yelled as they went under the invisibility cloak. Pretty soon they hear footsteps coming from both stairways.
All the girls were soon at the top of the stairs, and the boys at the bottom. "Who tried to come up here?" asked one of the girls named Janie. The girls started walking down the stairs. Once Harry and Ron saw Hermione, they went over and tried to talk to her. "Hey! How come we don't have an alarm like that on our stairway!" asked George. "Because girls are more trustworthy than boys!" snapped Janie, glaring at Fred and George. "And because we aren't the ones who are going to put those stupid joke stuff in your beds! Like some people I know." All the girls started giggling. "But who did it?" asks Neville. "How about-" Hermione started talking but Harry interrupted her. "Hermione! It's us! Harry and Ron! We have to talk to you!" said Harry, in a low whisper. "What did you say Hermione?" asked Janie. "Umm, I think we should just forget about it, it was probably Peeves, or something, lets all get back to bed." Everyone agreed, and so they all went back up to there beds. All except for Hermione. "Aren't you coming?" asks Ginny. "Yeah, I'll be up in a little while, I'm just going to look over my notes really quick before my tests tomorrow." "All right, but you really need sleep..."says Ginny as she walks up stairs. "I know, don't worry." When Ginny left, Harry and Ron got out from under the invisibility cloak to talk to Hermione. "So it was you guys who went on the girls staircase?" Hermione says while shaking her head. "You new that would happen. You tried to come up before, and the same thing happened!" "We forgot ermione, sorry. Its just that Hermione! Sorry!" Harry says. "Its just that we saw something going over to Hagrid's hut, and I thought we should go check it out. I thought you might want to come. Do you?" "What was it?! Do you know?" asks Hermione, her eyes opened wide. "No, that's why we need you!" They all went under the invisibility clock and went out of the Gryffindor common room. They headed downstairs and out the main doors, and headed for Hagrid's. When they came to his hut, they took off the cloak and Harry knocked on his door. Hagrid answered.
