~ A/N: I'm so. sorry. I hate it when people do that to me but I couldn't resist! _ Please forgive me! Sorry this chapter is SO slow and boring but it is needed to join one part to another.basically Ginny realises who James is. * Evil laugh *

On with the story.(

They entered one by one in a line, dressed in their bright scarlet robes and the symbol of the phoenix brightly shiny as though it were alive. Roger (the minister) stood and welcomed them one by one; he did not notice Harry shifting nervously next to him as the first member came u to shake his hand.

"Minister." Greeted Dean first and Harry tried to hide in the shadows.

"Dean Thomas (I think)! A pleasure to see you again! May I introduce you to a new friend of the family's James? James, this is Dean Thomas."

* Damn! What the? He's introducing us? No way! I've got to get out of here quick! But how? How? *

"Uh. I. uh. Mr. Thomas." He nodded then turned to the minister. " I'm sorry but I won't be able to stay for this. my.err. friend is uh. waiting for me at my seat. and I have to go. thank-you for everything." He nodded and started to turn away.

"Why not invite your friend up?" Said the minister and Harry stopped dead.

*NOW WHAT? *

"I'm afraid that wouldn't be possible sir, I must go."

"My offer still stands, anything you need."

"And my answer still stands sir, forget me." He said in a quieter voice and walked off.

Hermione heard a man's voice talking to the minister.

"Hey Ron," She whispered tugging his sleeve.

"What is it Herm? He asked.

"That voice, does it sound familiar to you?"

Ron frowned and thought.

"Maybe, why do you ask?"

"He's talking to the minister, I just thought I knew the voice from somewhere. that's all." But she knew it was more than that, the voice was so familiar.

*If only I could place it. *

Her thought was cut off by Ginny walking over to them.

"Hey you guys, the guy in the cloak up there just declined to seat in the top box with us, he said he had to meet a friend but when the minister invited the friend up too he said no."

"We were just talking about that guy, weird huh?"

"Maybe he just has to meet his girlfriend and do something that he doesn't want us to see." Said Ron with a grin.

Just then Harry walked pass them trying to get to the exit of the top box, which they were blocking. He brushed passed Ginny and walked put not noticing that as soon as his skin and her skin met Ginny had gasped in shock. ~~~~~~~#######~~~~~~######~~~~~~######~~~~~~

"What's wrong Gin?" asked Ron noticing his sister tense up.

"No.Nothing." stammered Ginny as she place her left hand on her right shoulder's forearm. (Does that make sense???)

"Tell us Gin it could be important you know." started Hermione.

"It's nothing, I just. you see when the guy walked pass the brushed pass me and when he touched me my. my mark tingled."

"Your mark?" Exclaimed Hermione.

"Tingled?" Questioned Ron, " What do you mean? Did it hurt? But our mark's haven't be active for. since. you know."

"Maybe we should ask the minister what he knows about the guy, I mean what ever made Ginny's mark 'tingle' can't be good news."

"Yeah, good idea Herm, lets go."

They pushed their way through a few other members and stood infront of the minister.

"Ah! A pleasure to meet you! You two are Weasleys I guess, and you must be Hermione Granger, a pleasure!"

They smiled and nodded but did not leave and hung around until the other members shook hands and took their seats. Then they explained the situation to the minister and asked for what he knew about the man.

"O. I'm afraid I just met him under an hour ago so I don't know much."

"Then why did you invite him to sit in the top box?" asked Ginny.

"O. Well. you see, I'm not really meant to say, bit since you're the order I guess, well. he saved my son from being attacked. you'll have to ask my son about him, I don't know much myself."

They nodded and the minister called over to Andrew.

"Andrew, will you tell the members here what you know about James, it could be important."

Andrew frowned, "Sure dad, I don't know much though, we only talked for about 5 minutes.."

"Just tell us what you remember, that's all, what did you talk about? Was he trying to get information from you?" said Ron.

"First tell us how you met." Said Hermione.

Andrew relayed the story from his P.O.V. then he answered Ron's questions.

"Nah, he wasn't trying to make me talk 'bout anything, it was more like forced conversation till he found mum and dad, but even when he found them he didn't realise who they were till we came here, he looked really shocked when the announcer said who dad was."

"What did you talk about?"

"Quidditch mainly, o yeah, and he went to Hogwarts too. he was on the team there, they won 3 years while he was on it. amazing huh?"

"Did you ever see him without his hood on?"

"O, yeah, when he helped me, his eyes were really weird too."

"How old did he look?"

"Um. I dunno. I guess around your age, nah maybe a bit older, not much though."

"We better check the area for dark magic just to be safe." whispered Ron to Hermione who nodded, and they set off.

Ginny asked Andrew, "Do you think you could do me a favour?"

"Sure."

She took out her wand and conjured a blank sheet of paper.

"Point your wand at this and say 'Visagio' while thinking of James's face.

"Sure, Visagio!" he exclaimed and a picture slowly formed on the paper. When the image stopped swirling Ginny took a look.

*Important * (A/N: Just to clear some things up, 'the mark' is the mark of the Phoenix, which you get when you enter the older, they think when the mark 'tingled' it meant that something bad was around but in actual fact it was trying to reveal Harry. Secondly, I don't know ANY Latin so I'm trying to reframe from using spells, if you know any words that may be useful please tell me!!!

She gasped and muttered an excuse before exiting the top box.

~~~~#####~~~~~####~~~~#####~~~~~####~~~~#####

*First I save the ministers son then I get invited to the top box THEN I see THEM again! I don't believe it. *

"Maybe I should just leave now, that way no one for sure will realise who I am." Harry muttered silently to himself not aware of a fiery red head, standing right behind him.

"Not planning to desert us again are you Harry?"
