(A/N) Sorry if it took so long to update. It's finally the weekend. My "beloved" sister is back from Phillie and she's being as bitchy as ever. She's absolutely annoying. We pretty much hate each other's guts so she's being a stupid phone hog so I can't use the internet. Anyway. Here's chapter four finally. I promise I'll be able to update more often during my spring break, (YAY!), which starts next week! ^_^ Enjoy.

Big Trouble and Parchment

"Professor Snape," said Hermione in an unusually high pitched voice.

"Well hello Miss Granger, Mr. Weasley, and, ah, Mr. Potter. I should have known." said Professor Snape. "Let's see. Ah, yes. That will be fifty points from Gryffindor and a detention each with Mr.Filch. I shall inform him immediately about your detentions and there is no use arguing, Mr.Weasley," said Professor Snape said and raised an eyebrow at Ron's mouth which was slightly open.

"Professor that's not fair. We were on our way back to our common room when you stopped us," Harry argued.

"Well Mr.Potter. I suggest you get back on your way then. I shall inform you when you will be serving your detentions," said Professor Snape. And with that he turned on his heal and walked back towards the dungeons.

"I can't believe the nerve of him!" shouted Ron after Snape was out of earshot. "That stupid greasy bastard," said Ron under his breath so Hermione wouldn't hear and get on his case about insulting teachers.

"He's a stupid brainless git and deserves to live an eternity with Lockhart. I hate that man more than….than….than Ferret Boy and Parkinslut," said Hermione. Ron and Harry stopped in their tracks shocked to the core. "What," said Hermione in an innocent voce and expression on her face, "it's true."

At this Harry and Ron both burst out laughing. "Honestly Hermione, you've been quite surprising lately. First you laugh at Malfoy, then you laugh at and insult Umbridge, and to top it off you just insulted Snape and he's a teacher," said Ron after his breathing got back to normal.

"Not to mention you just insulted Malfoy and Parkinson," added Harry. "Besides I thought you fancied Lockhart," Harry added.

"Yeah, what happened to that, 'Mione?" Ron teased her.

"Oh shut up, both of you," said Hermione. Harry and Ron put on false hurt expressions and put their hands to their hearts.

"Now really Hermione, did you really mean that?" asked Harry in a falsely hurt voice. Hermione only rolled her eyes in response before starting to walk again. The other two followed suit so they wouldn't be caught by any teachers or prefects patrolling the halls.

"Harry, what do you think Sirius would be doing right now if he wasn't……well……you know……dead…?" Ron asked rather quietly. He knew it was still really hard for Harry to talk about Sirius.

"I dunno," Harry responded. When they finally got to the common room Ron started going up the boys' staircase to their dormitory.

"Aren't you coming Harry? Asked Ron.

"No. I think I'm gonna stay up a little longer," Harry said, "I still have to finish that essay for McGonagall," he lied. The truth is Harry was still deep in thought about Sirius and wanted some time alone to think.

"Ok. G'night Harry," said Ron sleepily.

"G'night Ron," Harry said to Ron's retreating back. He then sat down in one of the overstuffed chairs in front of the fire. He stared into the now dieing flames. He sat there like that for a while. He then decided he wanted to look at the album of his parents and Sirius so he went up to the dormitory and got his photo album from the drower of his bedside cabinet and went back downstairs into the common room.



He sat back down in the same overstuffed chair and flipped through the book to the picture of his parents wedding where Sirius was best man for his father. As he was staring at the picture something caught his eye. There was a small slit on the side of the picture. So small you could barel see it unless you had your nose pressed up against it. (Not that he was doing that. Quidditch had sharpened some of his senses ans sight was one of them).

Harry took the picture out of the book and opened the little slit with his finger nail which wasn't that long. He found a piece of parchment inside and pulled it out, careful not to damage the picture. He unfolded the piece of parchment(which looked brand new so he figured it had a charm on it). He stared at the name of the persn who had written it (for it was a letter) for a very long time before he went to the top of the parchment and started reading the letter………
