Harry was peacefully sitting in the Room of Requirement. It had a table with three comfy chairs beside it. Two of the chairs had binds. He drummed his fingers quietly on the table and took a sip of water from a glass that just appeared.

Ron came in first. He looked grumpy and sat down in one of the chairs. He put his arms on the armrests almost automatically, and was quickly bound to the chair. He didn't bother to try to free himself.

A minute later Hermione came in and Ron tried to jump up. He hadn't known she was coming. Unfortunately for him though, he was bound down tightly.

"Hello everyone. Haven't seen you for several days. So, let's talk about our problems!"

"Oh, come off it, Harry," said Ron irritably.

"We have bigger problems then this stupid messed up love triangle. We need to do some detective work." Hermione and Harry looked at Ron strangely because he hadn't told him what he had found out.

"Okay Ron. Before we can work together we need to work out our problems." Said Harry. It was taking every ounce of his strength to be calm and forward about this. "Otherwise it's going to be extremely difficult to do any sort of detective work."

"Fine, then. I don't want to date Hermione since the feelings aren't mutual. Hermione and Harry obviously like each other so you two might as well get together."

The other two were stunned at Ron's maturity, though he did seem rather angry. Both gave him questioning looks but he just sighed.

"There is some sort of secret weapon and it's hidden in the forest." He said, changing the subject. It worked.

"How on Earth do you know that?" asked Hermione, grabbing the arms of her chair and becoming bound to it.

"I was talking to the portraits."

"You were...talking to...portraits?" said Hermione breathlessly. (She was now struggling against the bindings on her chair.)

"Yes, Hermione! In case you didn't notice I wasn't talking to either of you!"

"So you struck up a conversation with a portrait?" said Harry, raising his eyebrows.

"Yes, Harry!"

"Just out of curiosity, Ron, what picture were you talking to?"

"Erm...that doesn't matter. The point is that there is a secret weapon hidden in the forest and we need to know about it. After all, if you follow the patterns, Harry is going to be attacked in June."

"So you think that this weapon will help Harry defeat Voldemort?" asked Hermione. Her hands were rather red and she had given up the fight with her chair.

"Yes."

"And you found this out by striking up a conversation with a portrait?" Harry repeated.

"YES, HARRY! Are you with me or not?"

Harry and Hermione nodded meekly, though both were wondering why Ron was acting so differently. Normally he would be the last to think of something like this. Suddenly Harry remembered the scene in the kitchen.

"That was what Dumbledore was talking about!" he cried. Ron gave him a pitying look as though he was a bit dim. Hermione nodded eagerly and then the trio headed to the common room. Each made the journey in silence, wrapped up in their own thoughts.

Unfortunately for Ron his exclusive 'sources' showed up before they managed to reach the portrait hole. However, Sir Cadogan wasn't the only one there because Ginny was, too. She appeared to have returned from vacation early. She was pacing in front of the Fat Lady and muttering obscene things under her breath. Sir Cadogan seemed to be trying to get her to talk. Ron ran up to her.

"Ginny, what's wrong?"

Authors Note: I love you guys! 150 reviews just blows my mind! I was so excited. As a reward you guys may choose what happens in chapter 36. You have two options and while I can't give to much away I can tell you some things.

Choice one involves teachers and some Slytherians as well as mental health issues and eaves-dropping.

Choice number two which my beta came up with is a bit more complicated. It involves threats, black-mail, and hiding instead of a more sebatical type trip.

Now it is completely up to you guys but if you choose choice two I will have to re-work chapter 35 as well delaying my updates. Choice one however will require me to do some reading from the lexicon and make sure that I get a certain name right. It also will show some of the storys rating as it is slightly suggestive.

Both are great choices and I leave it in your hands.

My wonderful beta reader has told me how to get past the door on J.K. Rowlings official site and get past the dartboard and safe. The excert is really cool and I can tell you how to get in if you want. I think it describes the new DADA teacher or Marge's new husband. Whats your guess?

The Shadows: That was quick. Glad you understand and I hope that you feel more refreshed soon. Thank you so much for being my 150th reviewer and responding so quickly as I posted the latest chapter.

SiriusRulz14: Heres the update you can't wait for! Thank-you for being a constant reviewer and I am sorry that I did not review the most recent chapter in your story but my computer was messed up.

Snizel: Oh great bearer of odd name I assure you that I have no intention of ever stopping writting. In fact I would rather enjoy becoming a jouranlist when I grow up. Thank you so much for the compliments, they are some the nicest I have ever received.
