A/N- My computer wouldn't let me upload the story! It was acting all weird! Anyways, luckily it finally worked!

Professor Moody had been sent to watch Harry, Ron, and Draco. He was to make sure they didn't leave the building alone at all times. Also, he had to make sure they didn't come close to figuring out Hermione's past. Dumbledore explained to him earlier that week about Hermione, her parents and where Hermione was now. Moody knew that if Harry, Ron, and Draco figured out the story, they would rush over to Lord Voldemort and get themselves killed. Moody however, now realized that he wasn't only babysitting three wizards. He was watching five. And Moody knew that those five wizards were extremely close to figuring out what was going on. So naturally, after seeing them the previous night, he had to do something to keep them away from there next meeting. And fast.
Through his one eye he spotted Potter, the Weasleys, and Longbottom sitting at the library huddled up. They seemed to be discussing something they didn't want anyone to hear. Something about Hermione, perhaps. As he expected, the minute he walked into the library they stopped talking instantly, and pretended to be reading to themselves.
"Moody," Ginny said acknowledging his presence, "What are you doing here?"
I knew this question would come. "You don't seem too happy to see me, eh?"
"No sir," Neville said, "Just surprised, that's all."
"Ah, well I've come to Hogwarts since I've been offered a job," Moody said, as planned.
The four wizards stared at him waiting for him to go on. When he didn't Harry politely asked, "What kind of job?"
"A teacher, of course," Moody said chuckling. "What did you expect?"
"Er it's just that…you…know all the jobs are taken already," Ron said quietly.
Harry elbowed him and gave him a look. "We didn't know you liked teaching so much Moody," Harry said quickly.
"Yes, I've always been fond of those…creatures. The magical ones. I'll be teaching Care of Magical Creatures, replacing Hagrid."
"Hagrid's leaving?" Harry asked in disbelief.
"Ah, yes, of course he is. He wants to …er…well you know Hagrid." Moody said unconvincingly.
"What?" Ginny asked.
"He has been fired by Dumbledore. I'm sorry; I know how much you all liked him."
"Why has he been fired?" Harry demanded.
Darn, I wasn't prepared to answer this question. "Complaints from students," Moody made up.
By the looks of there faces Moody couldn't tell whether or not they believed him. Neville seemed to believe him. Ginny looked surprised. Ron and Harry were just looking at him in disbelief. "Look, I'm sure if you wanted you could talk to the headmaster about the matter."
"Don't worry we will," Harry said coldly.
"Well then, I better be going. Class starts in 10 minutes, you know. Wouldn't want to be late now would we?" Moody replied.
"We will come to class after we talk with Dumbledore," Harry informed him.
"Oh dear! That can wait! You have all day!" Moody exclaimed. I can't have them talk to Dumbledore until I get there first. To tell Dumbledore the little detail of the story in which I told them. I know, ill just keep them here till class is about to begin.
"Harry, I hear you've got an invisibility cloak," Moody continued.
"It's missing actually," Harry lied.
"That's terrible," Moody said "let me say a spell which will have it come here, now, to us in seconds. Since its missing and I know how much you liked it."
"That's okay Professor. Maybe some other time. As you pointed, out we will be late for class. Ill look for it later. You don't have to go through all this trouble."
"But Harry I insist," Moody said talking out his wand. He muttered some words and sure enough, facing everyone, was the invisibility cloak.
"Thanks," Harry said sarcastically taking the cloak.
"Oh Harry, can I borrow it?" Moody asked. It was never missing. They just didn't want me to suspect anything. That's how they get to the library to meet with each other. This Potter is sharp. Doesn't he know I can see through cloaks anyways? Guess not. Well if I get the cloak, which I will, then they won't be able to hold there secret meetings.
Harry clenched the cloak tightly and brought it to his chest.
Moody stretched out his arms acting as if he thought Harry would just hand the cloak to him.
Harry didn't move.
"Don't you worry now," Moody said grabbing the cloak, "I should get it back to you in a month or so."
"A month?" Ron shouted. "But, Harry…er…we…well we…," Ron stopped. He couldn't give anything away.
"What was that Ron?" Moody said with much interest.
"Nothing," Ginny said, covering up for her brother.
"Well look at the time. Class starts in one minute. I better hurry. Thanks for the cloak Harry!" Moody said running through the door.
"Moody is so…," Ginny started.
"Save it Ginny. We are going to be late," Neville said.
"Well discuss it after dinner," Harry said.
The four wizards then ran off in there different directions to class.

Harry was with Ron and Neville walking through the halls.
"Today's not bad we were outside all morning," said Ron, who was running his finger down a column of his schedule.
"Double Divination is next," Harry groaned, looking down. Divination was his least favorite subject, apart from Potions. Professor Trelawney has been predicting his death for many years now.
"She is extremely annoying," Harry added.
"You should have given it up Harry, like Mione," Neville said.
"I will next year if I don't die from boredom this year," Harry replied.
The bell rang signaling the start of the afternoon classes. Harry and Ron said there quick goodbyes to Neville and set off for the North Tower.
The familiar smell filled the room as they entered. Harry and Ron sat down at table. Harry spotted Lavendar Brown and Parvati Patil, who deeply admired Professor Trelawney, sitting at the table closest to her chair.
"Good day," said the misty voice of Professor Trelawney to Harry. She was peering down at him with the tragic expression she always wore whenever she saw him. "You are preoccupied, my dear," she said in her usual mournful voice.
Ron rolled his eyes. "My inner eye sees past your brave face to the soul within. And I regret to tell that I see difficult times ahead of you. Alas…most difficult. I fear that the thing you thought would happen to someone very dear will come true… perhaps sooner than you think and you must be prepared for what your about to face in the future…"
Ron knew what Harry was thinking for he was thinking the very same thing. "I fear that the thing you thought would happen to someone very dear will come true…"- she was talking about Hermione dying. "You must be prepared for what you're about to face in the future…" – Harry facing Lord Voldemort.
Professor Trelawney swept passed them to the front of the classroom. She began talking about the usual, planets and the stars.
Harry was dozing off, as usual, thinking about what she told him only moments before. She's just an old fraud! She is a lucky guesser! That's all. When in 3rd year she claimed Voldemort was rising and he… he was. She guessed right there .Lucky guess. And in 4th year she sort of implied that I would be facing Lord Voldemort and…I did. Maybe she isn't an old fraud after all. Maybe she really can sense my…inner soul. Maybe, she can help us find Hermione. But my cloak…
"Harry," Ron muttered.
"What?"
"I was saying, my dear that you were born under the influence of Uranus," Professor Trelawney said looking at him disapprovingly.
Harry had dozed off again and he now had no clue what he was supposed to say.
"Er yes I was."
"You figured out how to use the chart then I see. Very good. So, Harry dear, if I were to say you were born under the influence of Saturn, when would you be born?
"Mid-winter," Harry guessed.
"Very good Harry! I knew you would get it!" Professor Trelawney stated happily.
Ron looked at Harry. Harry mouthed lucky guess to him.
Ten minutes later, Professor Trelawney addressed the class. "I'm happy to announce, seeing as you all finally mastered the planets, we will now learn how to tell when someone is lying to you."
The students all muttered to each other.
"Oh Professor that's so useful!" said Lavendar.
"Yes, it is my dears. That is how I know when you really did your homework and how I know when you really understand the material." She glanced in the direction of Harry and Ron.
She really is an old fraud. She had no clue I didn't know what I was talking about.
"Now pair up everyone," Professor Trelawney said.
Harry and Ron naturally were pairs. "Now this skill takes a while to master but I thought it would be a fun treat to try today," she said cheerfully. "Each pair must think of one thing someone said to them, or something they are wondering about and hold hands. Then when I say begin yell out: Me ne dire pas plus de mensonges. I'll give you all five minutes to discuss what you want to ask."
"Harry give me your hand," Ron said imitating her voice.
"Ron," Harry said ignoring him, "Let's ask about Hagrid."
"What about him?" Ron said.
"What Moody said. If he really was fired."
"Er…good idea."
"Okay class, grab your partners hand and clear your mind." Professor Trelawney glanced around the class. "Good. Now close your eyes and when I say begin say the spell with me."
"Begin."
"Me ne dire pas plus de mensonges," the class all yelled.
Harry and Ron let go of each others hands and yelled from the pain that went through there bodies. A moment later the pain disappeared and Harry and Ron looked at each other in shock.
"Moody lied," they said in unison.
Professor Trelawney rushed over to them and now the whole class was looking at them. "It worked for this pair," Professor Trelawney stated. "Did it work for anyone else?"
No one spoke and the bell rang.
Seamus and Dean came over to Harry and Ron after class and asked, "What did you guys think of?"
"We said: Professor Trelawney really can tell the future," Ron said lying.
"And it told us," Harry continued, "No."
The four boys laughed as they headed out of the classroom.
Under the invisibility cloak Moody let out a sigh. This is going to be harder then I thought.
