Ch 10 Hogsmead
The morning of the Hogsmead weekend was upon them and the November air was chilly. Harry argument with Cho had drifted to the back of his mind, while Cho was still raging. As they gathered in the entrance hall while Filch collected there forms, Ginny caught up with the trio.
"Morning" she greeted them.
"Hi Ginny" Harry returned her greeting.
"Ready for your big DATE?" Ron asked his sister.
She responded by hitting him in the arm. But nevertheless it was true, for the first time the three would be separated, Ron with Hermione and Ginny with Harry. The weather was beautiful, but the air was slightly chilly as they made there way to Hogsmead. They had agree to have a butterbeer before parting. They entered and sat at a table and order the butterbeer. They had just settled down and were talking about Quidditch and Gryffindor's winning streak. When Malfoy entered flanked, as usual, by Crab and Goyle. The unusal part was that he also had more people in tow.
"I would like a word with you potter" Malfoy said, loud enough for the whole bar to hear.
"You mean half of Slytherin would like to have a word with Harry." Ron said.
"Yes, half of Slytherin would like to have a private chat with our dear Harry"
"Screw off Malfoy" Harry said, turning back to his friends "I believe we were talking about Gryffindor's Quidditch winning streak." Malfoy turned red "You listen to me Potter, The Dark Lord knows of the extension". He clapped a hand to his mouth as if he'd said something wrong. He left dragging the Slytherin's with him.
"What the Hell was that?" Ron asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Hermione asked, seeing the blank look on Ron's face she continued "he knows about the prophesy."
A stunned silence fell.
"Not exactly" came a new voice to the conversation "He is beginning to guess parts of it, but he knows it's been added to."
"It hasn't been added to" Harry said.
Only Hermione seemed to understand. "Harry your dream!"
Recognition slowly dawned on the faces of the group. Only Neville seemed to have known the whole time.
"Neville how the hell do you know this?" Ron asked.
"Remember my assighnment" Neville replied "I used the package from Fred & George to, well...get some information from the Slytherins."
"What did you find out" Hermione asked.
"Nothing more than what Malfoy just said" he replied, obviously less than pleased, but slowly a smile spread across his face "I can't wait for dinner though"
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Just something that will happen" Neville said. He left the shop smiling and humming to himself. As the 4 watched him through the window they saw him blow a kiss to someone and go over to great her.
"Is that Luna?" Ginny asked. The whole table burst out laughing.
As they left the pub they agreed to put the news of Voldimort to the back of there mind and enjoy the trip while they could. "Neville sure is confident with his new wand" Ginny remarked as she and Harry walked in the direction of the Shrieking Shack. It wasn't until Harry arrived there that he realized the events that had occurred here.
He visibly stiffened and Ginny noticed.
"Harry what's wrong?"
"Have I ever told you the story of how I met Serious?" he answered her question with a question. The pain obvious in his voice.
"No" Ginny responded slowly.
Harry told her the story, sparing no detail. By the time he had described how serious had nearly died he was in tears. Being comforted openly by Ginny. After the story was finished he cried into Ginny shoulder for a long time.
"Well isn't this cute!" came the sneer of Draco Malfoy "Potter and Weasley sitting ina tree what an ugly couple they turn out to be.
"Sod off Malfoy" Ginny said rising and drawing her wand "Or I swear I will kill you!"
Judging by the look in her eyes Harry guessed that she would.
A/N-This is finally the end of the chapter! I didn't like the last chapter much but couldn't figure out how to fix it, oh well. Thanks so much to all of you who reviewed. You have no idea how happy I was with all the reviews I got! I lied, well Fanfic lied, it says that my e-mail but there is an underscore between the 6 and the 1, if you need it get it from my profile page. This chapter is dedicated to whoever has that e-mail. Please keep reviewing I was overjoyed with all the reviews last time but please review this one as well. By the way, there is a great book I would recommend called "Harry Potter and the Mind Mage" great book.
