Chapter 4: The news

Next morning arrived way too soon, Harry could have slept for 12 more hours if Ron hadn't woken him up. He had dreamed again about Sirius falling through the veil and about the will, he wasn't ready to face everyone, he didn't want to. "Harry" came the voice of his female best-friend " are you up yet?? Ron said you just wouldn't get out of bed....whats wrong?". Instead of answering or ignoring her, he simply motionned towards the piece of paper that was on his bed beside him . She walked over and picked it up hesitantly, concern obvious in her eyes "What is this?" She asked before reading. he answered all he could before wiping away more tears "it's his Will.." she looked down again her eyes clouded with sadness "oh." was all she could say. She read through it slowly, not fast and feverishly like she did for everything else when she finished her eyes were slightly teary and she looked down at him. "Harry it's touching, but why won't you come down? We already decided that you'd try to live on with the happy memories of him." "I know but so much has happened since then "he said sadly and explained all he had thought yesterday while looking down at his feet, spontanious waves of anger hitting him. He slowly got up with much coaxing from Hermione and then left for the bathroom Hermione sitting down comfortably on his bed. ten minutes later Harry came out fully clothed but his hair still dripping and his glasses not on his eyes. "Harry you took so long! Oh look at your hair" she broke off giggling, something Harry hadn't seen much in a while,
she had been too concerned about him. "Oh your nice!" he said with a soft smile that came out as a crooked grin. He leaned over her and squeezed the water out of his hair and onto her "AAAhh HARRY!!" She yelled and jumped up knocking into his head with his.

He made his way down to potions, having missed breakfast Hermione was quite grumpy but not with him, they had a nice little water fight resulting in them having to ask Dobby to come by and having to change into a new unform and robes. Now as they ran down to the dungeons both of their hair was messed up and wet not to mention they were both extremely red in the face. They entered the classroom just as Snape was about to close the door and made their way to the back of the class where they still sat without Ron, he wasn't in this class he hadn't gotten a high mark on his O.W.L, a fact Hermione didn't let him live down. hary's mind was on Sirius and the last nights events. Hermione sat next to him taking notes and glancing occasionnaly at him, a habit she had picked up over the summer somehow. The class was just as all his other classes with Snape had been over the last 5 years.
- Snape insulting Gryffindors - Hermione knowing everything -Slytherins getting points just for attending class -Gryffindor losing points just for attending class Yeah the described it right! The class ended and Harry was glad, next class he had was Charms with good old Flitwick.
He was justr about to reach the door with Hermione when Snape stopped them "Next time you decide to fool around before class amke sure the class wont be mine" Harry looked at Hermione expectantly, he wanted to know what it was Snape meant, all he saw was Hermione , his bestfriend...his most smart, level-headed friend blushing furiously!! He decided to ask her "What did he mean?" she looked at him and openned her mouth "You are a boy and even if you've never really heard about this much i would have still expected you to think like one" "huh? Hermione what did he mean"
"Harry" she said with a giggle although still blushing "he thought we were snogging" "WHAT??"he said a little too loudly scaring some first years around the corner "He ...you-me...w what?" she looked down and frowned slightly but Harry didn't notice he was busy looking around at the big group of people standing in a huge circle which he hadn't seen since Umbridge had tried to throw out Treylawney. "what the"
He tried to see over the tops of other peoples heads ' why can't Ron be around when you need him' he thought to himself. Hermione had wiggled and pushed her way through, she had ended up infront of the majority of the crowd what she saw scared and amazed her " Beware the time of War aproaches. Your dear Headmaster won't save you now" was written in snake skin and curled up on the wall with the torthes. "Harry...." she said trying to reach out to him see this" Harry had just spotted it and knowing what the prophecy had said it made him sick to his stomach. Now he knew the time of his fate was coming closer and he knew it would be difficult and he might lose his life to Voldemort or he might murder Voldemort... really he didn't know how he'd do that. "Hermioenwe have to find Ron"he told the girl with bushy brown hair that stood next to him "Sure Harry I guess we should talk to him" She agreed with him even if she didn't know why he needed to see them all together. They met Ron in the first floor corridor and took him up to the Room of Requirement they walked three times in front of the tapestry and thought about a private room where no one would bother them.... "oh there's the door!" almost yelled Hermione. They all walked in and made their way to the sofa's "OK" Harry started " I have been trying to figure out how to tell you a few things and well what with that note on the wall I think I really should just tell you" he paused and looked at their anxious and scared faces "The prophecy Voldemort wanted last year at the department of mysteries didn't crash unheard, Dumbledore is the one who heard it originally-" "Oh my gosh Harry" "Bloody hell" Hermione and Ron said at the same time. "- it basically said that it comes down to me and Voldemort either i kill him or he kills me.... thats how it goes i'm the only one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord" "Oh" was all that could be heard.
