Disclaimer: not gonna repeat it...

A/N: This chapter is pretty lame and boring, but it has to be there. I'm ill and tired, and I couldn't write it better. In other words, this chapter sucks so bad. It's from Harry PoV.

Reading Minds

Hagrid's feeding a Thestral, when Harry, Ron and Hermione sprints at him. Hagrid roll his eyes and shoos the Thestral away and takes a look at the Unicorns that are standing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Hi Hagrid! What are you doing?" Hermione looks at the Unicorns and tries not to fall over when she runs to Hagrid, because the ground is wet by the rain. Harry's following the Thestral with his eyes, when it runs back to the Forest. Hagrid notices Harry and speaks to free the tension "Ah, well, I was just giving those some food after pulling you to the Castle. But you three shouldn't be here at this time of night. C'mon, lets go inside."

They all go into Hagrid's Hut, to have some tea and to talk.

Fang, Hagrid's dog, barks at Ron first, but then lies his head in his lap when Ron sits down next to Hermione and across Harry. Hagrid fills their cups and starts the conversation asking about their summer. Hermione tells about hers first.

Viktor Krum, who she had met in their fourth year, when the Triwizarding game was held in Hogwarts, had visited her. He spent two weeks with Hermione and her parents. While Hermione was telling about it, Harry couldn't help himself to snicker when he sees Ron's expression change every time, Hermione just mentions how much she had fun with Viktor. Hermione did tell Ron and Harry about his visit in summer, when they all met at the Grimmauld Place but Hermione didn't tell any details then. And now, it seems to be too much for Ron to hear about it from Hermione, face to face. When Hermione stops, she looks little upset about Harry laughing and Ron staring at her with disgusted look on his face.

"What?" Hermione asks angrily.

"Alright, you three, calm down. So Harry, how was your summer?" Harry falters for a minute, before answering.

"Well, it was like the other summers. Spent a month with Dursleys before Tonks and Moody came to pick me up to the Grimmauld and well, um.... we met Hermione and now we're here. At Hogwarts again." Harry really wasn't in a mood of telling him how was his summer. He spent thinking about Sirius, his godfather, who had died right before Harry's holidays. Harry has blamed himself of his death. Being so careless, believing in some stupid house elf. He just thinks, that Sirius would be still alive, if it wasn't him, who messed it all up. Ron cuts his thoughts.

"Well, that was only a short story of our summer. At the Grimmauld, Bill and Charlie took us to see Fred and George's new joke shop. It's just blood brilliant. You should see it some day. We played some quidditch, and I got trained a bit better, so I can now give the best I can at tryouts for this year. I try for the keeper's position." Ron keeps on telling about the summer, but Harry drifts away in his thoughts.

Sirius had been like a best friend to him. Last memory Harry has, is a picture of his shocked face when he went through the veil in the Death Chamber, caused by Sirius' own cousin Bellatrix. Harry thought that Voldemort had Sirius in the Department of Mysteries, when he saw a dream where Voldemort was torturing him. But it was a trap to Harry. Voldemort made him to believe like that, so Harry would go there to get the prophecy for him, which was about Harry and Voldemort. When Harry noticed it was a trap, it was already too late. He, Harry Potter, sent his godfather, Sirius Black, to his doom. And now he was gone. Harry bury his head into his hands. Hermione, Ron and Hagrid all look at him worried but before Hermione could ask if Harry was OK, they all jump when they hear an awful noise from the outside.

"What was that?" Ron asks.

An ear grating scream outside, make them all go to the window, but they can't see anything 'cause it's so dark. Hagrid takes his crossbow and before he opens the door he turns to say something to the trio.

"You three stay inside! I tell you, you're not coming outside. Clear? And I mean it Harry."

No matter what Hagrid says, all three goes out right behind him. Hagrid tries to lighten the area up with his torch. Ron's jaw drops when they see a black rock-like lump on the ground, just ten meters away from them.

"What the heck is that?" He asks.

Hermione shakes her head and Harry just stares at it. He goes closer, but Hagrid stops him and grabs his shoulder. The black figure stands up.

"What are you?" Hagrid roars at it, but gets no answer.

It turns to see all of them better. Harry walks closer, feeling like it's important, or he is supposed to go to it. The figure take few steps forward and Hagrid still roars at it.

"Show your face!" But it doesn't listen to Hagrid.

"Why do you make me feel like this?" Harry doesn't know what is it that he feels, but it feels strange. Then He stops and so does the figure.

"What creature are you?" Harry still asks, but knows he's not gonna get the answer.

The creature reaches its hand closer to Harry and Harry doesn´t back off. He frowns, 'cause of something he hears. Or doesn't hear. He can't figure out which is it. He feels an air stream going by him and then, like out of nowhere there is an arrow in creature's arm. It doesn't make a sound, or Harry doesn't hear anything. It just yanks the arrow out of its arm and stares at Harry. It turns around to see something. Harry looks at that direction and sees Snape and Dumbledore few meters away from them. The creature turns back to Harry and like talks to him.

We'll see soon.

Harry can't hear it, but those words are inside of his head, but no one said them. Harry looks at Hermione and Ron and when he turns back to the creature, he sees nothing. But then, above him, he sees it floating, doing something with its hands. A bright light blinds Harry and makes him close his eyes and fall to the ground. There's only a white light. Nothing else.

For a moment Harry thinks his blind. He stands up to his feet and looks up in the sky. But there's nothing there. Hermione and Ron are both still sitting on the ground, but Hagrid's talking with Snape and Dumbledore. Harry walks to them first, he wants to know what did he just see.

"Professors, what was that?"

"Potter. Why am I not surprised to see you here in the middle of the night?"

" Severus, it's not the time." Dumbledore says to Snape while he's taking a close look at the arrow, Hagrid shot at the unknown creature.

"Well, Hagrid, I think I leave this to you. I ask you to give this to Professor Ewerlost. She knows the Dark Creatures better than I or Severus does."

"But Professor Dumbledore -"

"Harry! Take Ms. Granger and Mr. Weasley with you and go to your common room. I talk to you later."

"But -"

"Immediately!" Dumbledore isn't gonna tell Harry anything, so he has no choice and he leaves with Hermione and Ron back to the castle.

"You bloody hell scared us mate!" Ron says with a shaky voice.

"What do you mean, Ron?" Harry has no idea what is he talking about.

"Going right at it, you stupid!" Hermione says angrily.

"You know it could have killed you, Harry!" "It wasn't going to kill me."

"Yeah? And how do you know?"

"What are you mad at me for? I just got this feeling that I was supposed go to it. I can't explain it, but it made me feel something, I have never felt before." Harry says, receiving an interesting look from Hermione, but he tries to ignore it. Harry didn't know he would scare them that bad. He just wanted to know what the creature was.

When they're near the doors of the Castle, they hear the scream again. Harry listens to it carefully.

That's not the same kind of scream as it was earlier. There's something - sad? Gosh, why am I even listening to it? Forget about it! He says to himself when they run up the staircase to the Fat Lady and through it, to the common room. It's empty. Everyone's sleeping. Hermione goes right to the Girls Dorm leaving Harry and Ron standing in the common room. Harry stares into the flames, which are already fading away. Ron taps him on the back.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just.. nothing. Lets go to sleep. I'm tired." Harry didn't want to admit to Ron, what he was thinking about. The flames... they brought back the memory when Harry was talking with Sirius. Sirius' head was in the fireplace and his body at Grimmauld Place. Harry changes into his pajama and dive into the sheets.

"Goodnight Harry."

"Night, Ron." Harry drifts into a deep sleep when he thinks about the words he had in his head. Like the creature was talking to him, but he couldn´t hear anything.

"What are you?"

A/N: I know.. it's stupid. I should have written it better, but I'm just so god damn tired right now. Next one is, again, from Syra's PoV.
