A/n: Geez… ff.net is driving me crazy… so I tried to update the new chapter and it put it where chapter one was supposed to go. But, after 12 hours or so, it finally fixed it. I'm so happy! Anyway, (a/n: GESD…. I said it right, ne?) on with the chappie!

Sirius is reading the disclaimer today.

Sirius: *clears throat, reading from a piece of paper* She doesn't own anything. Not the characters, not the title, and not me, thankfully….

Me: What was that?

Sirius: ^__^;;; nothing…..

Chapter Three

She walks very slowly to the common room, thinking aloud about what's happened.

"Why me? I mean…. I'm ecstatic that I get the chance to save them…. Harry will have parents. And, hopefully, Sirius won't….." She stops, not happy about the fact that, if it doesn't work, she'll have to watch him die again. And she doesn't want to do that.

"Won't what?" She hears a voice from behind her say.

After quickly recovering from the shock that someone was following her, she whips her wand out, turns quickly, and points it at her pursuer. He steps out of the shadowy corridor into the moonlight streaming in from the window.

"Oh, Sirius… you scared me to death…." She sighs in relief and returns her wand to her pocket inside her robe, where she always keeps it now, after the incident with "Tom" her first year.

He grins. "You have quick reflexes."

"That's….. nice…"

"Are you going to finish your sentence now?"

'Lovely…. What do I say now? I can't tell him he's going to die young….' "Maybe, maybe not. Have you been following me?"

He mocks her, still grinning. "Maybe, maybe not."

"You know what?"

"What?"

She takes this time to get a good look at him. He is tall. Nearly a head taller than her. He has a mysterious aura around him, like you can't tell whether to trust him or not. And his hair, jet black, of course, nothing less, falls down into his blue eyes. Eyes full of laughter and amusement, no hint of Azkaban there. So different from the eyes that had glanced in hers every once in awhile, back during summer and Christmas, that seemed to be hiding his sorrow and anger that would never leave… So different, and yet, the same….

She steps towards him. He cocks his head slightly. Softly, she says, "You're positively… irritating…"

He looks disappointed for a second, but comes back with, "I try, my dear." He walks off toward the Fat Lady's portrait.

Ginny frowns. "Men…. Not good for anything…. They'll all be waiting for me when I get there…. Might as well take a detour to the kitchen first." She turns around and walks off in a different direction.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ginny walks back happily, chocolate chip cookie in hand. She's ready to face anyone, or anything, except…. "Ugh! I don't know the password! I'm such an idiot! I should have followed Sirius earlier." She looks up at the Fat Lady. "Let's see… it's 1977…. Groovy? Hehehehe. People don't really say that, do they?"

The Fat Lady wakes up. Still sleepy, she says, "Ah, Lily. You don't know the password? Well, I'll let you in- just this once. Don't tell anyone, alright?"

"Alright. Thank you." She steps inside the common room, trying hard not to laugh. "I don't really look like Lily, do I?" she says to the three, plus the rat, that she knows are sitting in there.

"Not really, but your hair is almost the same color. Are you related or something?" James says.

"No, I don't believe so." She sits down on one of the poufs.

Right after she answers, Remus says, "How did you know our names? It's obvious that you weren't here last year."

"Umm…." She looks around the room, nervously. It's eerily lighted; the only light is coming from the fireplace and a couple of candles on the other wall. "What if I told you that I couldn't answer that?"

"Why not?" A squeaky voice, coming from Peter, says.

She shivers, noticing how unusually cold the room is. "I'm… not… allowed to."

James comes back with, "Who won't allow you?"

"Dumbledore."

"Sirius said that you asked Dumbledore about time traveling. Are you from the future?" Remus says accusingly.

'Ok… think fast….' She laughs. "Future? Are you kidding me?" She notices that Sirius has been silent since she walked in- very odd for him- so, she directs a question toward him. "Sirius, did you see a time turner around my neck at the train station?"

He looks up at her. "I wasn't exactly looking for one." Slowly, he says, "Who's Harry, why doesn't he have any parents, and… what's going to happen to me?"

 *******************************************************************

Awww…. Can't you just imagine what his face looks like when he says that? So cute… It's 7:37. I'm really tired. *nods* I had this dream last night that I went to the movies and Sirius was being played by this really ugly guy, and I freaked out. It was a nightmare….. ^__~ Umm…. Anything else? I can't remember, it's too early…. Oh yeah… sorry… the chapter seems short.

Shoutouts:

Porphyrophobic Grape: Yeah, I like to think of myself as accent free too, but I do have one compared to my friend from st. louis. She talks 100 mph too. I talk slowly. I know the chapters were backwards…. Stupid ff.net... but thankfully, it was fixed. I'm glad you're hooked on my story!

xxSimarilBladexx: I finally got to watch the whole thing! I got it on Tuesday when it came out, but I didn't have the chance to watch it, because I had homework. *glares at evil teachers* Who's your favorite character from lotr? I'm a Strider fanatic, but I also think he's an idiot because he should marry Eowyn. She just seems right for him…. That's just what I think, anyway. (I like Legolas too ^__^)

KeeperOfTheMoon: No problem! If I didn't read your story, where would I get inspiration from? Ziata hasn't updated hers in an eon, and yours is better anyway ^__^. I'm glad you like my story!

BishounenzAngel: Hi. Did I mention that I like your screen name? I know… I tell nearly everyone that, but I mean it. Thanks for reviewing!

Neni Potter: Umm… I'll let you decide on the "love at first sight." I love this pairing too! It's impossible, (especially now) but I love it so much! I go for all the impossible pairings. I like Remus/Hermione too. I used to read a lot of Draco/Ginny, but I don't like that pairing as much as this one. I hope you liked the chapter!

Sirius-sexy-lady: It made you cry? Wow. That's awesome. But I wasn't trying to make you cry. I don't think I've ever done that before. ^__^ You are so sweet! Thanks for the email about the virus, too. I would never had known. Ttyl!

Killer Angel: Thanks! You're so sweet! Luv ya! ^__~

HPFanFicLuvr: I'm on your favorites list? Cool! I'm glad you like it!

Cursed4Life: Well, you're lucky, coz I'm not gonna stop this story. I have fun writing it. ^__^ Of course I do, because it's the best pairing in the world! *nods* I hope this was soon enough 4 ya!

LuciusIsPimp11: Hehehe. It's almost funnier hearing the stories about the screen names than the screen names themselves! Lol! I'm glad you like my story ^__^
