A/N: Heya! Thank you for the reviews! I'd forgotten for a while how nice it was to get reviews...sighs...Anyways, thank you! You guys have put me in such a good mood, that I've put up two chapters! Yay! And I've decided to write another chapter, despite the fact that I've lost my chapter plan! Woo hoo! So chapter 23,here I come...
Just a few notes for a few of my lovely reviewers:
Star Angel: Ron and Harry haven't forgotten Hermione, they're just having too much fun to have even thought about her! That boys for ya! This fic is set in their 7th year, during a very stressful war, so the boys are just glad to get away. They also think that they're the only ones in this other world... Sorry! I probably should have made that more clear!
TariGreenleaf: Funny you should ask about Draco being poor. I guess you'll just have to wait and see!
Brigid of Co.Mayo: Hermione and Ginny are coming! I think they're in the next chapter. I'll just have to check. Either way, they are everywhere in future chapters, so don't fret!
As I've put up two chapters, I need 35 reviews before I update...hehehe...
Chapter 4- Laying low
Harry woke up to the light autumn breeze blowing across his face, and the sound of birds singing. He smiled a yawn, and rolled out of bed, then strolled to the familiar window. The sky was a clear blue, and the sun was a distant figure. The air was cool, and the breeze, comforting. It was the perfect day for Quidditch.
Harry took a relaxed shower, and put on a set of clothes from his wardrobe. Today he chose some ripped jeans, a black t-shirt, and a plain black robe. He ran some gel through his hair, before getting his broom out from under his bed.
He walked over to the window, and without any notice, jumped straight out of it. He kicked his leg over the broom, and floated in mid air, a few feet above the ground. He took a breath of fresh air, before zooming through the heavens again.
He flew around the towers, and over the gardens, he skimmed the top of the trees in the forbidden forest, and flew around the Quidditch pitch. He flew down over the lake, low enough for him to reach the water, and he let his fingers skim the surface. He stopped when he reached the ground, and stepped off of his broom.
Over the other side of the lake, he saw a beautiful figure. She wore a long white dress and robe, and had long wavy golden hair.
Before Harry had a good look at her, she was gone. She flew off over the forbidden forest, and into its dark depths.
Harry returned back to his dorm room. He laid his broom gently down, and collapsed onto his bed. This world was weird. First he's popular, then he has a sister, and now he was sure he had just seen an angel.
Harry thought back to his sister. He really had a sister. He'd always wanted a sibling, but it never seemed possible.
Harry walked over to his desk, and picked up the picture of himself and his Father. He had a family.
Just that moment, the dormitory room door swung open, and in strolled the missing Marauders. They were carrying plates of cakes, tubs of ice cream, and bottles of drinks.
'You're finally up then, sleeping beauty.' Seamus grinned.
Harry nearly told Seamus that he was up before them, but thought the better of it.
'We just thought we'd stock up.' Dead said, from seeing the look on Harry's face.
'Fair enough.' Harry said, and raised his eyebrows. Harry gasped. He waked over to the mirror and raised his eyebrows again. He now knew why his sister looked familiar when she raised her eyebrows. He did the exact same thing. The thought sent shivers down Harry's spine.
'You alright mate?' Ron asked, showing a little concern. 'I brought you up a plate of brekkie, if you want it.'
'Thanks Ron.' Harry said, and grinned.
'So what's the plan for today, Prongsie?' Seamus asked, while opening a tub of lime ice cream.
'No plan.' Harry said, as he tucked into his breakfast. 'I'm thinking we should lay low for a bit, after the whole Filch monster girly Snape incident.'
'You may have a good point there.' Dean said. 'At the moment they have no proof it was us.'
'Exactly.' Harry agreed. 'I say we leave it till at least lunch.'
'Give us time to catch up on the ladies.' Seamus said, slyly.
'Yea, you haven't seen your bird since Friday, have you Paddy?' Dean added.
'I don't think so.' Ron said, hesitantly.
'Well Ron can see her later, because first we have something we have to do.' Harry announced. 'See you later, Wormtail, Moony.'
Harry and Ron left the dormitory, climbed down the stairs, and made their way swiftly through the common room. Harry kept an eye out for his sister, but she was nowhere to be seen. Once they were out of ear shot, Harry explained what he had on his mind.
'I want to find my sister again.' Harry said, purposefully. 'I don't know anything about her. I don't even know her name.'
'Sure, we can look for her.' Ron said. 'I don't think she was in the common room.'
'No.' Harry said. 'She wasn't. And she wasn't outside yesterday. She must be inside the castle somewhere.'
'Talking of sisters, you haven't seen mine, have you?' Ron asked.
'No.' Harry said, shaking his head. 'But I wouldn't worry, she'll turn up.'
'So have you got the map?' Ron asked.
'Of course.' Harry said, and took the Marauders Map out of his pocket.
He rolled out the scruffy old map, and after a few well chosen words, pictures started to appear on it.
Harry read through every name on the map, yet the only Potter inside Hogwarts, was himself. He reread all the names, which was difficult, as they all kept moving. Finally, he gave up.
'It just doesn't make any sense.' Harry said, sitting down on the steps outside the Great Hall. 'Where could she be?'
'Maybe we should go and tell Dumbledore she's missing.' Ron suggested.
'We can't.' Harry sighed. 'I might have misheard. Maybe I don't have a sister.'
'We can't both have misheard.' Ron said. 'She must be your sister. She looks just like you.'
'Well I guess we might as well head back to the common room.' Harry sighed, standing up.
'Yea.' Ron said, looking at the map. 'Well look on the bright side. At least I found Ginny.'
Harry took the map from Ron, and found a little dot labeled 'Ginevra Weasley,' in the library.
'Lets go then.' Harry said, despondently.
'You're not going anywhere.' A cranky voice said.
It was Filch. He was holding a dirty bucket of water, and some cloths.
'You have detention.' Filch grinned, menacingly at the boys. 'Or had you forgotten?'
They looked down at their feet. They had forgotten.
'You'll be cleaning out the trophies, in the trophy room.' Filch said, handing Ron and Harry the equipment. 'And you had better do a thorough job! I wouldn't want a reason to give you another detention, now would I boys?'
Harry and Ron shook their heads, before leaving swiftly for the Trophy room.
When the boys got there, the glass doors to the trophy cupboards were already open. They put down their buckets, took out their cloths, and started work.
An hour later, they were almost finished. They had worked great as a team, and had got through the work faster than they had expected. Now all that was left was a few of the largest trophies, at the far end of the room.
'I think Filch is going soft.' Ron smiled, as he chose a large silver trophy to clean.
'I know.' Harry grinned. 'This hasn't been nearly as bad as I thought it would be.'
Harry looked in the middle of the trophies, and found the large Quidditch cup. It shiny and gold, and by far the largest trophy. He walked up to his large, familiar friend, and began to clean the surface. He read the engravings to himself, as he cleaned.
'Gryffindor.' Harry grinned, reading his house name on the winning trophy. 'Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, Katie Bell, Ginevra Weasley and Erin Potter.'
Harry dropped his cloth on the floor.
'Ron.' Harry said, in a soft voice. 'I think I've found my sister.'
Remember...As I've put up two chapters, I need 35 reviews before I update...hehehe...
