CHAPTER SEVEN

The big game was scheduled for this Saturday. Slytherin vs. Gryffindor. Harry was going crazy. He had the team practicing three hours a day. If they couldn't get on the pitch, they would go to a field across the lake. It wouldn't be Quidditch with out pre game hexes. Slytherin was highly targeted because Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and many others had fathers who were recently unmasked as Death Eaters. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were very interested indeed because it was practically a new team, and after the incident with Ron's imbecile Keeper skills. Snape was, as usual, evil to everyone except the Slytherins.

"I thought he was supposed to be on our side" Ron grumbled as they walked out of Potions

"What?" Emma-Leigh questioned, "He has always been mean to everyone but Slytherin." She sounded very confused

"Oh...right… well…uh" Ron tried to speak.

"Don't bother trying to lie to me Ronald Weasley" Emma-Leigh's hair seemed to spark with electricity. Harry, seeing this decided it would be best to tell her what was going on.

"We'll tell you… later. Now isn't a good time. They walked out of the Great Hall and to the Room of Requirement.

"Wow" Emma-Leigh said, "and in the end, one of you has to be the murderer and the other one has to be the victim?" Harry nodded. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Emma-Leigh were all sitting on very comfortable pillows in the Room of Requirement. They figured it would be the best place to be alone. The original trio went to Dumbledore to make sure it was okay to tell Emma-Leigh this very classified information he agreed it would be best, probably due to the fact that she had lots of connections in Canada. She now knew everything that had happened in the last five years, about the Order of the Phoenix (except where it is because only Dumbledore can really say) and the prophecy in which Harry was supposed to fulfil. Emma-Leigh placed her hand on Harry's.

"I'm so sorry. It's not fair that you had to go through all that, and everything you have to do in the future. I'll stick with you every step of the way." She looked into Hermione's big brown eyes, and then moved onto Ron's playful blue eyes, and back again to Harry's serious green eyes.

"We all are behind you." And from that point on the trio became a foursome.


A/N yes I mad the last part sentimental… whatever… I didn't mention Sirius's death because I REFUSE TO BELIEVE HE IS DEAD!
