It was a Hogsmeade weekend and the majority of Hogswarts students were excited. The only people who weren't were first and second years along with people in detention and the dream team. The day was sunny and the shopkeepers had just finished polishing the windows as the students came in.

Hermione was fiddling with her wand as Harry and Ron were in a staring contest with each other (there wasn't a great deal to do). Squealing happily Hermione went to the wall (it was a windowless room) that faced the streets of Hogsmeade and said "Shadleine."

"Hermione, it's bad that we have a window because then people can see us. We're in hiding, remember?" asked Harry, breaking eye contact with Ron and rubbing his eyes vigorously.

"Honestly Harry! Of course I remember." Said Hermione in her trademark I-know-so-much-more-than-you-it's-scary voice. "This spell allows us to see people throught the window, but they can't see us. Plus I modified it so we can hear certain groups when we point our wands at them. We can hear everything! I know it's wrong to spy but frankly I'm dying to know what's going on!"

The boys nodded, grabbed their wands and rushed over to the window looking at the street.
Below them lots of students were milling about and Ron caught sight of Ginny with Dean.
"She's still going out with that bloke!" he cried.

"I don't know, she looks pretty angry." Said Harry thoughtfully.

"Lets listen in." Hermione sounded eager.

Ginevra Weasley had the famous Weasley temper. The temper that had come out when she saw her boyfriend snogging Lisa Turpin! Oh yes, faithful Dean who had been so sweet and nice to her was off playing tonsil hockey with another girl.

"What the bloody hell do you mean it isn't what I think it is?" Ginny had been yelling at Dean since before the trip and finally stopped outside the Hog's Head because they couldn't be overheard in the street by it.

"Erm--" And, throughout the trip, Dean's answers had held the same amount of intelligence.
"I run upstairs to grab my cloak and you're sucking the life out of LISA TURPIN! And how the hell did she get into the GRYFFINDOR common room?!"

"Well, you see--"

"Oh, I saw." Said Ginny, her voice shaking with rage. "You know what else Dean? My brothers taught me a few tricks and if I were you I wouldn't be eating any time soon. Or taking a shower, or—well, you won't be able to do anything. I will make your life a living hell Dean Thomas! WE ARE THROUGH!"

Dean nodded meekly and ran off to find something to protect him. Ginny was glad he'd had the sense to not argue. She was afraid she might burst a blood vessel.

"Ha! I knew that git wasn't good enough for my Ginny!"

"Ron, the least you could do is feel sorry for her. I mean, he was kissing Lisa Turpin right in front of her face." Said Hermione.

"I know, I know, and you can be rest-assured I'm going to make Dean pay. You know, I was a little skeptical about this spying, but it's quite fun. Here I thought I would be guilty about invading others privacy."

"Yes, and who knew that Ginny--"

"Shhh! There's Mafalda! She's my cousin you know." Ron shuddered.

"Really, you two don't look a thing alike!" said Hermione.

"Mother's side. Her father's a Squib." Said Ron glumly.

"Oh."

"Yeah," said Harry, speaking for the first time. "And you can't say I look anything like Dudley, can you?"

Mafalda looked around for a respectable child of a Death Eater who could confirm her news. She had spotted Draco and was making her way over there before she caught a snatch of the conversation. It seemed Pansy was telling Draco she was pregnant! This was not a conversation she wanted to interrupt.

Finally Mafalda spotted Balise Zabini. His parents weren't in the inner circle of Death Eaters but they were pretty close. She noted with distaste that he had on maroon shades to compliment his olive skin tone. As nice as they were green would have looked so much better.

"Oh, Blaise! How lovely to see you here." She daintily came up to him whilst talking in a sickly sweet voice. Even though she was younger than Blaise, Mafalda was still rather pretty, and had something of a gift with boys.

"Oh hello, Mel." Said Blaise in his deep, silky voice.

"It's Mafalda. Anyways I was wondering if you knew anything about the, attack, I heard rumors about."

"Why don't we go some where more private, to talk of course."

"Of course, wouldn't dream of doing anything else, Zabini." She batted her eyelashes.
With that Mafalda walked away moving her hips as Blaise eagerly followed her.

Back in the small room at Hog's Head Hermione turned to Ron and Harry. Both of the boys could tell she was worried.
"Attack?"

"It appears so; of course I refuse to go to the lengths Mafalda is to find out any more information."

"Here, here!"

Looking slightly disturbed Ron decided that the easiest way to distract them until they had their daily meeting with Dumbledore would be to listen in on another conversation. After all, Hermione was looking rather faint.

"Okay, here comes Malfoy and Pansy!"

Draco Malfoy was strutting though Hogsmeade with Pansy on his arm. She seemed very nervous about some thing and finally Draco couldn't take it any more.

"Pansy darling, you keep muttering the words child and pickles. Really, what's wrong? You're becoming somewhat annoying, you know."

"Well, remember how a couple of days okay we were in that broom closet?" said Pansy cautiously.

"'Course I do, shall we repeat it?" Draco grinned.

Pansy took a deep breath. "Draco, I'm pregnant."

"WHAT?!" The news was so shocking that it made Draco Malfoy trip.

"You heard me, I didn't stutter."

"I though you used...protection." His voice was lowered to barely a whisper.

"Apparently the Muggle kind doesn't work in Hogwarts."

"Couldn't you have gotten a potion from Pomfrey?"

"She doesn't give those out!"

"I don't believe this, I'm leaving."

"Draco, wait!"

Draco didn't wait, though; he stormed off through the crowds leaving Pansy all alone.

"Well, that wasn't what I wanted to hear." Said Harry with a shudder.

"No kidding. I really wasn't interested in their sex lives, or my cousin's."

"RON!" cried Hermione.

"Still, I can't believe she's pregnant, let alone tells him in the middle of a crowd."

"I think we should stop before we hear any more unwanted information."

Hermione waved her wand to make the window vanish, and the trio lay down on the musty old couch.

Autor's Note: Hello all. If you want a bit of advice while reading my story I would recomend you check out my profile. SOme of you have been asking questions of whats going to happen, I can not tell you that as it would ruin my story! I can however give you that one helpful hint, if your kind enough to lookat my profile. Don't be confused. It will all come together.

SiriusRulz14: Don't have a lot to say to you, your reviews are incrediably nice but rather short. Glad you enjoyed the Peter thing, I was afraid some people wouldn't like it.

Ronkid8829: Its alright Nikki. I am updating as soon as I can. Peter, while I can't answer that but if you look in my profile I will give you a hint. Least I can do for a faithful reviewer!

XBlackMoon-y: You know, its quite sad. The majorty of reviewers are Ron and Hermone fans, not Harry and Hermione fans. They said that would of been a good reaction if hermione actually liked Harry. Personally I find it quite funny.

While, I don't like Ron very much but I did feel bad he was 'attacked' twice. Really though he was getting out of hand! I don't remember what happen in 16, wait a second, here it is. Had to pull it up. While, I think that what Ron was attempting to do was prety bad. Harry has been through a lot and should be allowed to have other friends.

I took absolutely no offense what so ever at your review. TO be honest some I get are a bit harsher then that.

The Shadows: You liked it! That makes me so happy. Aberforth's character varries. In normal life he is extremly odd but in the bar he puts up a front of non-caring tough bartender. This will become important later on.

Yes Herione did lock herself in her room, but Harry didn't know that because he was ignoring her and avoiding her. He did have the map so he might of seen that she was in her room a lot but he didn't know that was the only place she was.

Thanks for the compliments on chapter 38. I really enjoyed writting that and it only comes second to chapter 40 which I liked because parts of it are in a foregin langue. That was very ammuseing to do.

Thanks for reviewing and sorry I haven't written much in your response but I am in a hurry to post 39.

MellyV: Yes it was completely spontanteous branching out into Peter's life. I really liked it though and it was easier to write then the romance. Its harder for me to write romantic sitiuations since I have no personal experince (I'm only 14) other then my boyfriend in pre-school who ate fish eyes. Erm, thats irrelevant though.

I never get bored with people's reviews! Yours are so nice and I am sure you are an intresting person. Really, intresting people are so much fun! Boring people aren't.

My school starts Wensday and I understand that you have been busy. So have I. Fanfiction is so much more active during the summer.

Yes Pansy is somewhat of a slut. I always pictured her that way because what little we see of her involves her hanging onto Draco. It mught just be me but thats the way I picture her.

Of course Snape isn't a nice person, and Diggory doesn't like Harry because somewhere in the back of his mind he blames Harry for the death of his son. Also I read a couple of good evil Diggory fics and liked the idea.
