Planning and Pondering
Days went by and Harry still couldn't put his finger down on the reason Ginny had broken away. Was it because she didn't love him back? Was it because she had another boyfriend already? The possibilities were endless. Harry was going to look into this, but in the meantime Harry had more important things to look into. The dreams about Sirius were getting worse and the cries that he heard in the distance were getting louder. He hadn't the slightest idea of what they were but he was determined to find out.
Harry strode into breakfast on the morning of Halloween. Students were bustling around at their house table. Harry caught Ginny's eye, but she turned back to talking to Luna quickly. Ron and Hermione had saved Harry a seat to his surprise and so he plopped down across from them.
"Hello Harry!" Hermione said gleefully. "Beautiful day isn't it?" Harry looked out the window. It was raining harder then it had the whole year and Hermione burst into laughter. Ron put his arm around her and Harry sighed.
"So what's new, mate?" Ron said stuffing his mouth with a pancake. Harry thought about telling him about Ginny but then decided that Ron would only get mad at him. But there was something he thought they should know about.
"All right, you guys, listen. I've been hearing a strange noise in the distance for nearly the past two months." Harry spoke quietly and chose his words gingerly. "It sounds like somethings yelling, or screeching, or squeeling in the distance."
"Where are the sounds coming from Harry?" Hermione asked, leaning on Ron's shoulder. Harry tried to ignore it.
"The Dark Forest."
Ron let out a squeeling noise as if to say 'I'm not going back in there!'
"But you guys, I need your help! I can't go in there by myself."
"All right fine. What do we have to do now? Follow the cockroaches?" Ron said shuddering.
"No you idiot! Harry's just told us," Hermione said. "Follow the cries!"
"Thanks you guys. I'll meet you in the entryway with my invisibility cloak at 9:00 sharp tonight. No exceptions. Just don't get yourself into detention tonight, Ron."
"Aight mate, we'll be there."
