Disclaimer- J.K Rowling is the smartest woman alive. She would probably be appalled if she read this melodramatic crap. I hope that this doesn't put ideas in any of your heads about what might happen in future HP books because I KNOW NOTHING!!! I don't own any of the characters either... This whole thing is therapy (because I was upset over the character she killed off) I'm just posting it because people told me to...
Harry went upstairs to his, Ron's and Hermione's room. He wanted nothing more than to think of Sirius in peace. He has been so busy thinking about everyone else's problems, schoolwork and Quiddich, that he didn't have any time to think about Sirius until now. Being in his house around Christmas made him miss his godfather more than ever now. It was wonderful to see him so happy after being so miserable about being cooped up in the house for so long. Ron and Cara were in the basement playing around on the Quiddich court. (or at least that is what they said they were doing) and Hermione was helping Mrs. Weasley with the dishes. Harry tiptoed upstairs hoping no one would follow him or disturb his thought for at least an hour.
Harry looked through the photo album Hagrid gave him after his first year, and found the picture of Sirius, Lily and James at the wedding. Sirius was laughing, and Harry's parents were so incredibly happy. All this was taken away. Harry sighed.
All of a sudden, there was another white flash. Harry found himself inside the department of mysteries. He didn't even have to search the rooms this time. The correct door flew open and Harry ran through it. Harry ran towards the dais above the veil. Harry was able to see through the black veil. Instead of the huge cape that was there this time, it was a great curtain made of lace. Harry saw Sirius struggling to climb up the wall as a dog through it.
"Don't worry Sirius", he cried pulling out his wand. "I'm coming to get you."
Harry was about to pull up the curtain, but Sirius suddenly looked up.
"NO HARRY, DON'T!" he yelled almost loosing his footing. Harry was suddenly pulled back and there was another flash of light.
Harry opened his eyes and saw Hermione and Lupin looking at him. Harry groaned in frustration. He knew that somewhere, there was a chance that his Godfather might still be alive. Only he couldn't do anything about it.
"Hi" he said weakly to Lupin and Hermione.
Lupin smiled "Did you have another vision Harry?" he asked.
"Yes, but my scar didn't hurt this time. I don't understand it" Harry answered. "And I think Sirius is still alive."
Lupin looked worried, but Hermione had an expression of wonder on her face.
"Listen Harry" Lupin said putting his hand on Harry shoulder. "I would like to believe that too. Sometimes when you want something so much, you believe it is real. You can't go risk your life for something impossible.
"But my scar didn't hurt this time!"
Lupin glanced over at Harry. "Still, its dangerous" Then he left the room
"Harry. I believe you" Hermione said after she was sure Lupin was downstairs. "But still, I think that you need to talk to Professor Dumbledore. He will be able to tell you what is going on for sure."
Ron, who had a smile from ear to ear ran upstairs. He looked at his two best friends with an even bigger grin.
Hermione gave him a strange look. "What's up with you" she asked.
"I can't tell you yet... Is it ok if I set my alarm clock for 4 in the morning"
Harry looked at Hermione and raised his eyebrows. "Um.... Why would you wake up that early on Christmas Eve? It must be important"
"Professor Insper is coming over. That's all I can tell you."
"Ronald Weasley" he heard his mom call from downstairs "You need to dust out the closet I don't want to see anymore dust bunnies. They're really getting out of hand."
"Coming" Ron answered. "See you" he said waving to Harry and Hermione.
"I have never seen Ronald so excited to clean up dust bunnies before EVER" Hermione said shocked. "Something big is up... Last summer when we were first cleaning the house, Ron ran away scared when he saw the army of dust bunnies come at us"
"I bet it has something to do with Cara" Harry said.
Hermione nodded probably.
Both of them got ready and went to bed. Harry heard Ron and Cara at the doorway.
"Ok sweetie, wake up is at 5 am... trust me, you're going to love where I'm taking you" he heard Ron say.
"Five is REALLY early Ronald, but if you claim that I will LOVE where we're going, it's all good" Cara said giving him a peck on the lips.
"I love you" Ron said
"I love you too" Cara said smiling back.
After one last hug Ron finally came in the room and fell straight to sleep.
Early the next morning, the alarm rang... Ron jumped excitedly out of bed. Both Hermione and Harry woke up with him groggily wondering how on earth someone could have so much energy at THIS hour of the morning. Ron ran down the hall.
"Ah... help!" they heard Cara scream down the hall. "Oh, it's you"
Ron apparently scooped her out of her bed to wake her up.
"Hey guys" she said as Ron placed her on his bed. "Were you rudely awakened at this ungodly hour too?"
"Make sure she doesn't go back to sleep you two" He said looking at Harry and Hermione. "I have a surprise downstairs."
Then he looked back, "By the way, would you two like to join us for an early morning breakfast?"
Hermione smiled "Sure, we're awake now"
"This should be good" Harry said to Cara and Hermione. "I've been wondering what this was since he started making a habit of talking to his mom in secret. He never used to act like this."
"Ok, everyone" they heard Ron call about a half an hour later "Breakfast is ready!"
Harry, Hermione and Cara got up and walked downstairs. Harry's eyes widened when he saw what was downstairs.
"Oh wow!" Cara exclaimed. "You did all this!"
Ron had prepared a breakfast that consisted of pancakes, potatoes, eggs and bacon. It smelled almost as good as Mrs. Wesley's cooking. The dining room was beautifully decorated.
Ron smiled "I had a little bit of help" he said as Harry noticed Professor Insper sitting next to Ron.
Cara was wide awake now
"Ronald, this is wonderful, Can you tell me where we are going?"
Ron smiled "Professor Insper is going to accompany us on a trip to see your mother perform in New York City. Mum wouldn't let us go alone, (or let the twins accompany us)
Cara's jaw dropped. She ran over to Ron and gave him a big hug almost knocking him over. "You are the best boyfriend EVER!"
Harry looked at Hermione. "Wow, that's amazing"
"Yeah, last year he had no clue" Hermione replied.
Professor Insper explained how they would get to NY through a portkey set up in his American wizard friend's house.
Cara smiled, kissed Ron on the cheek "I'm going to go get dressed now"
"Ok" he said smiling.
"Wow, Ron." Hermione said as Cara went upstairs. "Last year you were completely clueless and now you know just what to say."
"Well" Ron said as he began cleaning up the dishes from breakfast. "Just being with her makes me feel special"
Just a mere fifteen minutes later, Cara announced that she was ready to come down.
Cara walked down the stairs wearing the most beautiful silver and blue dress ever. Her hair was perfectly straight and shiny and her makeup was beautifully done. Ron's jaw dropped down to the floor.
The room was silent for a moment when Hermione finally commented.
"Oh that is SO not fair! It took me three hours to get my hair to look like that before the Yule ball"
Harry looked at Cara's three inch heals "How on earth are you going to walk around New York City like that though. In fact, how did you even walk downstairs"
Hermione looked at Harry and laughed.
"Oh I'm not" Cara said smiling "Comfort is a priority"
She swiftly waved her wand at herself. The dress turned into a stylish blue top and pair of silver pants and her painful looking shoes turned into sneakers.
Hermione's eyes widened. "Oh, you have GOT to teach me how to do that spell."
Cara laughed. "oh definitely, if you teach me some of the spells you know"
"Of course" Hermione said with excitement. "We will DEFFINITELY exchange spells over the holiday"
Professor Insper looked at his watch "It's time to go you two. I told Robert 7:00. It's almost that time now". He took a golden watch out of his pocket.
"Here, grab onto this" he said to Cara and Ron.
"See you guys later" Ron said to Harry and Hermione
"Have fun in New York" Hermione said
"Can I go to bed now?" Harry joked
Cara rolled her eyes and smiled "Sure"
Cara and Ron then grabbed the watch and with Professor Insper, they disappeared.
