Chapter 7

Sneaking Into Hogsmade

Ginny woke up and found out that it was near lunchtime. She dressed and woke up Hermione and Susan.

"Wake up you sleepy heads. It's near lunchtime."

"Let me sleep." Grumbled Susan. "It's still so early in the morning."

"Morning? Early? It's near lunchtime."

Parvati came in. "Still sleeping. What time did you go to sleep yesterday?"

"4 o'clock in the morning." Answered Hermione who was already dressing.

"Ginny, is that how late you came back?"

"Yep. And they decided to stay up and wait for me."

"So spill girl, how was it?"

"It was weird. I never thought that Draco would ever be nice. But I did have a great time." And Ginny told her all about it.

"Well, sounds like loads of fun."

"It was. But can you promise not to tell anybody about this?"

"You have my word. Now come on, we need to go downstairs."

They went downstairs and found Harry, Seamus and Ron downstairs talking.

"How's my sleeping beauty?" asked Ron, putting his arm on Hermione's waist.

"Fine, thank you." Replied Hermione, kissing Ron. He kissed her back. They fell back on the couch, still kissing.

"Please, not in public, you're gonna make me puke." Said Ginny, closing her eyes.

Everybody laughed.

Hermione blushed and let go of Ron. He did the same.

"Now that they decided to finally let go of each other, who's up for lunch?" said Ginny.

"Me." Yelled the gang.

Together they went to the Great Hall. Immediately Ginny began piling food on her plate.

"Ginny, didn't you eat yesterday with—

"Shh." Susan shushed Hermione.

"Eat with whom? Where? When?" said Ron.

"Nobody." Ginny said quickly.

"Come on, tell us." Urged Harry.

"Did I say eat? I meant—

"She didn't eat yesterday because she's going on a diet." Said Parvati, rushing to the rescue of Ginny

Ginny shot her a "Thank you for saving my skin" look.

"You're not fat." Said Harry to Ginny

"I know. That's why I'm not going to come through with it."

"Okay." Ron said doubtfully.

"Now if you will excuse me, I have to—Susan's voice drifted off because Malfoy and his thugs had just approached the table.

"Potter, Mudblood (Hermione), Weasel, New girl, Weasel— Malfoy looked at Ginny with an "I'm sorry for calling you that." look. She nodded.

[A/N: Should Ginny and Malfoy be together? Please vote since I still haven't made up my mind on whether they will break up or not. Need more votes! And your votes will determine whether they will stay together since I will total up all the votes and the side with the most points will win (Duh)]

"If you have nothing to say, then go you son-of-a-b— Hermione said when Ron nudged her and pointed at Malfoy. He seemed to be looking at Ginny and not noticing what Hermione was saying.

Harry, Seamus, Susan, and Parvati noticed this too. Susan and Parvati looked at each other, silently praying that Malfoy wouldn't say anything that would give away Ginny.

"Get out of here and get gone." Ron said, causing Malfoy to stop staring at Ginny.

"Whatever Weasel. "He looked at Ginny. "There's your Daily Prophet. There's something in it that might interest you.

"Just leave." Said Ginny, opening her newspaper. She found that there was a note inside. She now understood what Malfoy meant. Ginny pretended to scan the newspaper while she put the note in her pocket. She would read it later.

Malfoy left without another word.

"What the hell is going on?" swore Ron. "I think that Malfoy dropped something on his head because he actually only said one insult to Hermione."

"True. He seemed to be preoccupied about something." Said Harry thoughtfully.

"He was? Well, maybe he's finally cracked." Said Parvati.

"Yeah."

"Ginny, why was Malfoy staring at you?" asked Ron.

"No he wasn't. Why would he?"

"Dunno."

Harry noticed that Ginny was reading the newspaper. "Anything good in there?"

"Nope."

"Then why did Malfoy say that there was something in the paper?"

"Who knows? Maybe he was just being paranoid."

"Ah, there's Lavender, I gotta go." Said Parvati and left.

"I gotta go too; Dean wanted to tell me something." Said Seamus and left.

"Do we have any plans for today?"

"Nope."

"We can sneak out to Hogsmade."

"I guess."

"So are we going to go?"

"Okay."

The group finished their lunch and was heading out of the Great Hall.

"Hermione Susan, I need to talk to you two." Muttered Ginny and pulled them away from the boys.

They went to an empty classroom.

"Malfoy gave me a note." Said Ginny, opening the note. She read it out loud.

Meet me by the Quidditch pitch today at 9 o'clock in the evening. You know the rules, don't let anybody see you.

Love,

Draco.

"Ooh." Squealed Susan, "I wonder what he's got planned."

"You're forgetting something. Ginny, will we have to distract the guys again?" Asked Hermione.

Susan stopped jumping up and down. "Again? I think I'll die of embarrassment if I have to go through that again. I mean, it is okay for Hermione since she and Ron are a couple, but me and Harry? I don't think so."

"Well, you could be. I mean, Harry did mention that he liked you."

"He does?" Susan's spirits lifted. "But then, he probably doesn't anymore after that stupid kiss."

"It wasn't stupid." Protested Ginny. "You just overdid your flirting a bit. Even though he didn't seem to mind and nobody in the Common Room noticed me. They were all to busy watching you."

"You saw that?"

"Yeah, I stayed back a bit cause it was so funny when you were flirting."

"It wasn't funny on my side."

"True."

"So how are we going to distract them?"

"I'll think of something."

"But it can't have anything to do with flirting." Warned Susan.

"Oh all right. But it would be easier if we—

"No."

"Just—

"No."

"Flirt?"

"NO!"

"Okay, okay. I'll think of something else."

"Good."

They left the classroom and joined Harry and Ron who were looking for them.

"Where were you?" Ron demanded.

"None of your business."

"Yes it is—

"It's about girl stuff. You wouldn't understand."

"Yeah. Come on. Let's go."

"Do you get the feeling that they're not telling us something?" Ron said to Harry.

"They do seem to be more secretive than usual."

"Yeah. Hey, are we still going to sneak into Hogsmade?"

"Maybe we shouldn't." said Hermione.

"Just to get a butterbeer?" Ron made a puppy dog face and looked at Hermione.

Hermione looked away. "Oh fine, just for a butterbeer."

"YES!" Ron jumped into the air.

A couple of Ravenclaw first years looked at Ron and giggled.

"What are you looking at? GO!"

The girls cast a frightened look at Ron and started walking very fast the opposite way.

"ugh." Scoffed Hermione.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing, if you can't see it yourself, then I can't help you."

"What did I do?"

"DO YOU HAVE ANY MANNERS AT ALL?"

"Duh, of course I do."

"Well, use them."

"Wha— Ron cast Harry a confused look. Harry shrugged.

"Oh my god." Hermione shook her head.

"If you want to say something, then say it cause I can't read your mind."

Susan and Ginny looked at each other.

"Is this how it always is between them?"

"Yep. It used to be worse but now since their secret is out, they have to act like a couple, a task that they're failing at."

"That's for sure."

Nobody said anything for a minute, everybody just listened to Hermione and Ron fighting.

"Uh, guys?" Susan said. "Are we going to Hogsmade or not?"

Hermione and Ron stopped fighting. "Yeah, come on. Lets go to the one-eyed witch."

"Why?"

"That's where the passage is."

"Oh."

They went to the stone witch. Harry looked around; making sure that nobody was in the hallway except him and the gang. He got out his wand, tapped the witch and said "Dissendium." The statue's hump opened and all of them got in.

"Ugh, what is this place, it's so dark." Complained Susan.

"Lumos." Ginny's wand lit up. The rest did the same.

"Now where do we go?" said Hermione.

"Just start walking. When we arrive, we'll be in the cellar of Honeydukes."

"Okay."

They began walking. They walked in silence for quite a while.

"My feet hurt." Complained Susan. "How much longer is it to Hogsmade?"

"Just a little bit longer."

They walked in silence again until they found the trapdoor. Harry opened it and went through first. Next did Susan with Harry's help. Then Ron, Hermione and last of all, Ginny. After all of them were through, Harry closed the trapdoor behind them. They sneaked out of the cellar and soon got out into the little cheerful streets of Hogsmade.

"See, there's nothin' to it." Said Harry.

"Well, I have to admit, it was easy."

"Yeah. Let's go to The Three Broomsticks."

"Sure."

"Great."

"Okay."

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go."

They trooped to the Three Broomsticks. Inside, they found a table and ordered 5 butterbeers.

As they drank, they chatted a bit about everything.

When they were finished with their drinks, they went up to the Shrieking Shack. After a while, they went back through the passageway and into the castle.

"Where were you?" asked Parvati when they entered the common room. "I looked for you in the library but I couldn't find you."

"Oh, we were just out for a walk."

"A Walk?" said Parvati with raised eyebrows.

"Why were you looking for us?" put in Harry.

"Travis and Ricky wanted to know when the next Quidditch practices will be."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." said Harry. "Tell them that it will be tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 o'clock. It will be like that from now on.'

"Okay."
Since Harry didn't have anything else to do, he went upstairs and rummaged through his trunk. In 5 minutes, he found what he was looking for. An ancient mirror. He said sirius's name into the mirror and waited. He had never done this before so he was slightly nervous. He waited for a minute and then gasped. Sirius's head was in the mirror.

"Hey Harry, how are you doing? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, how are things there?"

"Pretty good. My mission is almost done."

"Mission, what mission?"

"Oh, it's just that I'm trying to find Snivellus and bring him back to quarters."

"Have you found him yet?"

"I'm very close."

Something was bothering Harry but he couldn't remember what. Then he had a stroke of brilliance.

"Sirius, you need to be careful because Voldemort had Snape find you and kill you. That's what I heard on the night when I had the vision."

"Really? Well, could you tell me all about the vision?"

"Sure." Harry explained everything.

"Hold on, Bellatrix said that I was in Diagon Alley? Strange."

"Why did she say that?"

Sirius was hitting himself on the head. "Oh I remember now!"

"What?"

"Dumbledore captured her and put her under a spell."

"So that's why she was acting so weird."

"Yeah. Now onto more important subjects."

"Like what?"

"Like how many detentions have you gotten this year?"

"None."

Sirius looked hurt. "None? Oh come on, you need to get a least a couple of detentions. Need any ideas for pranks?"

Harry laughed. "no thank you, you know that I don't play jokes on people."

Sirius looked sad. "unfortunately no. but why don't you it's so much— Sirius stopped speaking since something got his attention.

"What is it?"

"Harry, I have to go now."

"Okay, bye."

Sirius's face disappeared.

Harry went back downstairs and played a game of chess with Ron. Once again, they were so preoccupied that they didn't see Ginny slip past them.
Ginny went down to the Quidditch pitch where she met Draco. Together, they sat on his broom and flew around. They talked and flew around for a while until it was time to go.

"Thank you for the wonderful evening." Said Ginny.

"My pleasure."

And then Ginny did something that completely took Malfoy by surprise. She kissed him. After 5 minutes of making out at the entrance of the school, they went their separate ways.

When she tried slipping back into the Common Room without anybody noticing, she was less lucky.

"Ginny, where have you been?" asked Ron.

"At the library doing my potions essay." Ginny lied.

"Oh, okay then. But the library is closed already."

"It is? Did I say I was at the library, I meant I was in the kitchens, getting some food. I skipped dinner so I got hungry."

Ron still looked uncertain.

"Come on, lets go someplace quiet." Said Hermione mischievously and before Ron could protest, she pulled him out of the Common Room.

"I'm going to bed." Ginny declared.

"Night."
