Disclaimer: None of it is mine okay?! I admit it!
A/N: I was really disappointed that I had only a few reviews for my last chapter.. I just hope that I'll get more reviews here.
The next morning, Harry, Ron and Hermione were making their way to the Great Hall when Hermione noticed that Harry was about two steps behind them.
'Harry, you alright?' she asked him worriedly.
'Of course… I'm fine' he replied, giving her a half-smile and went back to his moping.
This is all my fault, he thought to himself. Everything! Everyone's dead because of me! I did it! Its my fault! Mine!
'Mine..' he didn't even notice that he said this aloud.
'What's yours Harry?' asked Hermione once they were in the Entrance Hall.
Harry looked at his two best friends who were looking at him weirdly. He muttered some words that were incoherent to them and went off in the direction of the tower.
'What was that about?' asked Ron
'I don't know… I don't think he wants to be bothered right now. Let's have breakfast first then.'

Meanwhile Harry was sitting in the common room with his head in his hands and thinking.
Why does this always happen to me? That's the third parent figure that I've lost so far! I know that people close to me will die! I think I'll just stay away from everyone else… That's it! I'll do just that!! Then no one will get hurt or killed!
As he made up his mind on that, he stood up and started running towards the kitchens. He needed to see Dobby.

Harry went down to the corridor that lead to the kitchens and was about to tickle the pear when someone came up from behind him.
'Hello Harry. What are you doing here?' said a voice that reminded him of…
'Ginny! What are you doing here?' Harry asked, surprised.
'Oh, I was just sent to look for you… Hermione is a bit worried. Didn't you notice the time? Its about five to twelve. You've been gone for about three hours.'
'Oh… I just decided to take a stroll near the lake.'
'Um… okay then Harry… whatever you say…'
Just as she was about to go, Harry called her back.
'Hey Gin.'
She looked at him quizzically, 'Yea Harry? What's wrong?'
Harry opened his mouth and suddenly thought against it, 'Nothing… sorry… forget I said anything.'
'Alright…' she said uncertainly and walked off. She didn't even notice that Harry slapped his forehead with the palm of his hand.

'Hey Harry, where've you been? Dumbledore announced the DA his morning' asked a quizzical Hermione as Harry made his way into Gryffindor Tower again.
Harry looked at the red and gold Persian carpet that covered the majority of Gryffindor Tower and said, 'Nothing… I just went down to the lake… that's all.'
Harry didn't really intend on telling them that he'd been moping and the fact that he went to see Dobby.
Ron looked at him for awhile and said, 'Right… You know.. Hermione and me-'
'Hermione and I, Ron..' Hermione cut off suddenly
'Right.. Hermione and I,' insert Ron's nasty look at Hermione here, 'here will always be there if you want to talk to us you know…'
'Yeah… We know you're really down about Sirius' death and all but really!' Hermione gave a sudden exasperated sigh, 'You don't need to avoid us all the time!'
Harry looked at Hermione sadly and said, 'Ah Hermione… If it were only that easy..'
'Harry… don't go all Dumbledore on us now! We're serious!'
Harry looked away. He really didn't want to talk about anything just yet. 'Fine.. But not now okay? I don't feel like talking about it yet.'
The trio suddenly looked to the portrait hole where Professor McGonagall appeared. 'Mr. Potter, Professor Dumbledore would like to see you now.'
Harry looked at her quizzically, shrugged and followed her out of the portrait hole.
Professor McGonagall didn't say anything to Harry all the way to the headmaster's office and when they arrived there she gave the password, turned to him and said, 'Okay Mr. Potter, Professor Dumbledore just has something to say to you and all I want to say is don't do anything harsh and please do not think its your fault.' She just gave him a brisk nod and went away.
Harry looked surprised when she said this and went up the moving spiral staircase leading up to the headmaster's office. he knocked on the door and went inside. Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk and stared at Harry for awhile before asking him to sit down.
'Umm.. Professor? Why did you call me here?' Harry asked curiously
Dumbledore looked penetratingly at Harry again for awhile before answering. 'Harry, I'm afraid I have some grave news.' Dumbledore looked kind of sad and continued, 'Remus Lupin has been captured when he was on duty for the order.'
I know it's short and not good at all but review and I'll write more anyway!
