"H-harry?" Ginny gasped.
"I know! I mean, I don't know. Oh you know what I mean!" Harry exclaimed frantically.
"Harry? I get the feeling that this isn't.. good." Harry winced.
"YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD SOMEONE!" She yelled angrily. "This must be some Death Eater trick, I'm almost positive of it!" She said a little more softly.
"I know! I know! Sheesh! We all make mistakes! But I couldn't tell anyone, and, unfortunately, I don't think Death Eaters did this." Harry winced at Ginny's face.
"Who then?! Who did it?"
"Er." Harry shifted nervously. "What were we doing before we got sidetracked by my unusual appearance?"
"Don't try and cha-." Ginny started.
"Oh yes! The invisibility cloak!" Harry exclaimed.
"I said don't try an-."
"Now where did I put it?" Harry said loudly. He then disappeared into a back room. "Here ya go." He said once he had returned and he handed Ginny the silky material. "You can do it." As he said this Harry's head started to fade a little and become transparent.
"Harry! Your head!"
"Oh shivers, the charm wore off!" Harry glared at no one in particular as his head started to match his body. A wicked grin crossed his face. "I wonder if I can walk through walls."
Spoke too soon. He began to sink into the floor.
"Harry, think solid." Ginny said frantically. Harry shut his eyes.
"Solid, Solid, Solid!" Harry chanted. "Holy fluffy! My feet are stuck! Unsolid. I mean."
Harry trailed off. He was basically a living ghost, what the snuffles? He pulled his feet out of the roof with a huff. Now solid.
"Well, Harry, why don't you just go, you can go through walls or something." Ginny suggested.
"Alright."
Harry gulped.
~*~*~*~*~
"Did you see those feet? I didn't think there was a ghost around here with them sort of shoes on." Peter told Lily. He'd always had a little crush on the fiery red head.
"They look like Professor Harry's." Lily said.
"I know."
"Well, lets get back to the Common Room."
"You go. I'll be there soon."
Peter walked up to Harry's room. He knew that it was situated where the feet had come from. He gave a clumsy knock on the wall/door.
"Come in." Said a feminine voice Peter recognized as Professor Ginny's.
The door opened by itself and Peter stepped in. Ginny looked rather distraught, her eyes were suspicious, her skin was pale, her hair was ruffled, and her pale skin was flushed around the cheeks. It was the first time Peter had been in the office.
"Oh, Mr. Pettigrew. Can I help you?" It was obvious, though, that if he just killed himself she'd be happy all the same.
"I was wondering why there were feet coming from the roof underneath your rooms." He said in a bewildered way.
"Oh, it was just a ghost, Moaning Myrtle." Ginny said. Did Moaning Myrtle wear boots?
"Oh, OK then, I'll just get back to the dorms. See you."
Peter left.
~*~*~*~
"Where's Peter, Evans?"
"Peter is on his way, Potter." Lily retorted.
"Thanking you!" James jumped up and hugged her. Eeeeek! She was just hugged by James Potter! He raced out the door.
"Peter!" James yelled as he raced out the portrait hole where Peter was just about to say the password. "The Map, it's gone! Have you seen it?"
~*~*~*~*~
Sirius stared at the space next to Lily that James had occupied only seconds before. James Potter, Prongs, Marauder and Sirius' best friend just hugged Lily Evans, the 'flower'.
That was weird.
"Maybe you just misplaced it." Peter said as he and James came back into the room.
"Yeah, we'll have another look."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Did you get it?"
"No! It wasn't there."
"Harry, it had to be there somewhere!" Ginny exclaimed. "The others cant see our names!"
~*~*~*~*~
"Here it is." James exclaimed. Sirius looked over at him.
"It was under your pillow?" Sirius asked, eyebrows raised.
"Yup, Jamesie needs it to keep him company!" Sirius said in a sing song voice.
"I solemnly swear I'm up to no good." James whispered the password. His eyes scanned the paper and he jumped up and exclaimed "Holy shit!"
"What?"
"Sirius, there're two of you."
"What, no there isn't!"
Sirius looked over James shoulder. It was true, one of him was in Dumbledore's office, the other was where he was now. "Maybe the Map is malfunctioning." Sirius suggested. "Look at the two dots in the Defense office."
There were two Smudged names in the office. They could just make out 'Ginny We' the rest was smudged beyond comprehension. And 'Harry P'
"I thought Ginny was Ginny's last name. And why would they be smudged, and I thought Harry didn't have a last name. And then there's the fact that two Sirius Blacks are running around. Did you know Professor Reid's name is Sirius?" James said. "Remus told me."
"it is?" Sirius asked. "Cool!"
"Yes, but maybe he IS Sirius Black, because I cant see him on here anywhere else." James said. "I'm confused." He added. "Lets go see Dumbledore and see if it really IS him."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"They're getting closer by the hour. Harry can feel it, and Harry isn't wrong when it comes to Death Eaters. His connection with Voldemort has made sure of it." Sirius Black told Albus Dumbledore.
"Well, where is Harry?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
"I don't know! With Ginny I presume."
"Can you go get him?"
"No need."
Sirius jumped and Dumbledore turned around, startled.
"Harry! What happened to you? Are you OK? More importantly, are you dead?"
Harry had just appeared through the wall, he was see through and looking very grim.
"I'm fine, and no, I don't think I'm dead. But I am being wiped out of any existence at all, looks like the Death Eaters will get their job done for them, by my own mother." He stated.
Sirius eyes widened. "This doesn't happen! I remember you teaching, and I remember Ginny and I teaching, but this never happened!"
"Well, looks like we've messed up royally. Why can't we get anything right. and how come whenever we make a mistake, it goes way beyond a mistake and turns the world upside down?"
"Oh dear." Dumbledore stated. "This cant be good. You can't just stop showing up for classes, and you most certainly can't go to them, and I don't think I want to live if you're never born."
"Well, we're sure in a pickle then." Harry muttered dryly.
Two shell-shocked teenagers opened the door.
"No, now we're in a pickled toad, it's worse than a pickle." Harry added calmly.
James, and Sirius were standing there, looking at Harry in disbelief, they'd heard all of that.
"Shit."
"Woah."
"Huh?"
Was the reaction.
"Problem?" Harry asked.
They stared. Just then McGonagall came in. Harry buried his head in his semi-transparent hands. "Crap."
*~*~*~*~
Remus opened an eye slowly. Where was he? A chilly breeze was running over him and he shivered. He could see the moon through what looked to be tall, gangly trees. The forbidden forest?

OK, I know it isn't the best chapter. sorry? Anyway, hope you liked it just the same. See ya. REVIEW!!! PLEASE!!!
