Thank you so much to my reviewers: jeevesandwooster, MeTaMoRpHoSiS gUrL, FroBoy, and magicslifer (I completely forgot about having them having to be out of school…I mean cough they, er, changed the rules cough) and I'm really sorry if I missed anybody.
When Ginny and Hermione were in their pyjamas, Ginny asked Hermione about the meeting. Hermione glared at her.
"Ginny, you know very well that I can't give you secret information, I swore I wouldn't!" snapped Hermione. Ginny gave Hermione her saddest face. "Ginny, don't give me that look, I want to tell you, I just can't, I'm sorry."
Ginny sighed and settled into her bed. She knew Hermione would tell her if she could, but it still hurt that her best friend was keeping secrets from her.
"So, you and Harry were quite, ahem, busy when I came in," Hermione commented, a smirk playing at her lips.
"Hermione, I can't spill my secrets unless you spill yours," replied Ginny.
"If you're trying to bribe me, it won't work," said Hermione calmly.
"Fine then, let's just get some sleep," answered Ginny, pulling the covers up to her chin.
"Alright then, goodnight," said Hermione, a hint of annoyance in her voice.
Three minutes later, Hermione cracked.
"Oh alright then, spill!" she exclaimed, sitting up in her sleeping bag.
Ginny smiled to herself. Her friend was so predictable.
"You promise to tell me your Order secrets too?" asked Ginny.
Hermione sighed. "I guess, as long as no one and I mean no one finds out!"
"Deal," said Ginny.
"So, how are you and Harry doing?" asked Hermione.
"Amazing, he's so sweet, kind and romantic, I love him," answered Ginny. "I mean, I've loved him since, well, forever, but I never thought he would love me back!"
"Is he a good kisser?" asked Hermione, giggling.
"He's a great kisser," said Ginny, blushing slightly. "Not that I've really had much past experience with kissing, but from what I can tell he's pretty good."
"Ron is good too," said Hermione. "He's so handsome and- oh stop making faces Ginny!"
"But he's my brother, ick!" said Ginny. "I can't believe someone would voluntarily kiss Ron!"
Now it was Hermione's turn to blush. "I happen to love your brother very much."
"Okay, so what about all your Order secrets?" asked Ginny. "Come on, spill!"
"We don't know where Voldemort is, but we think he's been recruiting some Hogwarts members to be death eaters," said Hermione quickly, as though she'd been dying to tell Ginny everything.
"Any idea who?" asked Ginny. "Malfoy?"
"Actually, we don't have any evidence that Malfoy has ever been involved with Voldemort," replied Hermione. "We think he might even join our side, but we'll have to wait and see."
Ginny made a face. "I don't believe that Draco Malfoy would ever join our side."
"People can surprise you, Ginny," said Hermione. "Blaise Zabini, for instance, has decided to join our side, and he's a slytherin."
"Are you serious?" exclaimed Ginny.
"Yes, he approached Dumbledore at the end of the year and joined the Order," replied Hermione.
"Was he at the meeting tonight?" asked Ginny. "Were you, like, hiding a whole bunch of new Order members in our basement or something, waiting for me and Harry to leave?"
Hermione snorted. "Of course not, he's on a mission."
"What kind of mission?" asked Ginny eagerly.
"He's trying to recruit more Order members for us, and he's a spy," said Hermione. "It's very dangerous; I'm quite surprised at the change in him."
"So, who are the death eaters at Hogwarts?" asked Ginny.
"Crabbe is, but we're not sure about Goyle," said Hermione. "We've received some evidence that...well..."
"What? Who is it?" asked Ginny.
"Michael Corner," said Hermione. "We think he's joined Voldemort."
Ginny was silent. She didn't know what to think.
I can't believe it…Michael, a death eater. He seemed alright when I dated him. He's not even in slytherin…this is so confusing.
"Ginny, are you okay?" asked Hermione, worry evident in her deep brown eyes.
"I can't believe it, he…Michael…," Ginny trailed off, lost in her thoughts. "I kissed a death eater!"
"We're not certain that he's joined Voldemort, it could be false information," said Hermione comfortingly.
"No, it's completely true," said Ginny. "He was always asking me about Harry, I thought he was just worried because of my crush on him, but it all makes sense now. He kept nagging me about it, and when I refused to talk about it he broke up with me."
"That's not what you told us before," said Hermione. "You said it was about quidditch. You said that you broke up with him, not the other way around."
"I lied," said Ginny. "I didn't want Harry to think I was still hung up on him, and I didn't want any pity from anyone for being dumped."
"Ginny, you should have told us this earlier!" exclaimed Hermione. "This information would be important for the Order!"
"Why is it important that I got dumped?" asked Ginny irritably.
"Him wanting information about Harry is further proof of him being a death eater!" said Hermione.
"Fine, tell the Order, I don't care," snapped Ginny. "I'm going to bed, goodnight."
"But Ginny, there's one more person I didn't mention," said Hermione.
"Who is it? Dean Thomas?" asked Ginny sarcastically. "Are all my ex-boyfriends death eaters?"
"No, it's Colin Creevey," said Hermione. "I'm sorry Ginny, I know he's a friend of yours-"
"You're lying!" growled Ginny. "Don't accuse my friends of being death eaters, Colin would never get involved with that!"
"We have evidence Ginny!" said Hermione angrily. "I know he's you're friend, but that gives you no right to accuse me of lying!"
"What's the evidence then?" asked Ginny, a dangerous gleam in her eyes.
Hermione glared at her and began to explain "There was an attack on some muggles near his house-"
"That means nothing," said Ginny. "Besides, he's muggle-born, why would he join Voldemort?"
"His wand was found next to the body of one of the muggles," said Hermione.
When Ron got back from the meeting, he found Harry looking over his charms homework.
"Sorry I took so long, I stayed back to ask Kingsley if he knew how Hagrid's mission was doing," explained Ron, sitting on Harry's bed next to him.
"Is he okay?" asked Harry.
"They got a letter from him yesterday," replied Ron. "He says he isn't having much luck with the giants."
"So what happened at the meeting?" asked Harry. Ron always gave Harry information; he said he'd had his fingers crossed when he swore not to tell Harry anything.
"They found one new death eater since the ones I told you about last time," said Ron.
"Who?" asked Harry.
"Colin Creevey," said Ron.
"Are you sure?" asked Harry.
"Almost positive, his wand was found at one of the attacks," said Ron. "It's really hard to believe, especially since he always followed you around and stuff."
"I never paid any attention to him tough," said Harry. "I always got annoyed with him. It's all my fault; I should've given him a chance."
"Harry mate, you can't blame yourself for everything," said Ron. "Anything could've made him do it, maybe it was because he didn't have many friends, or maybe he was bullied into it."
"Ginny was his friend," said Harry. "We could've been too."
Ron nodded. "I guess we all could have made more of an effort."
"Anything else?" asked Harry.
"Not really," said Ron. "We still don't know where Voldemort is."
Harry sighed. The Order had been searching endlessly, but they hadn't had any luck finding Voldemort yet.
"I suppose we should get some sleep then," said Harry. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," said Ron. "And don't you dare have any dreams about my sister!"
Harry snorted into his pillow and fell into an uneasy sleep, still worrying about Voldemort.
A/N: I'm sorry this is very short, but I wanted to get it posted. Next week I might be going away, but I'm not sure yet, so I may or not update a lot next week. The week after that my cousins are visiting from far away. I only see them once a year, so I'm staying with them at my grandparent's house. They don't have a computer, so there won't be any updates that week. I will try to update between vacations though. I'll try to get a chapter or two up tomorrow (technically today, since its past midnight). I'm sorry for the inconvenience to you, my wonderful readers and reviewers.
Also, you will find out more about Colin Creevey, don't worry. And you may be wondering why Ginny and Harry were so annoyed at being left out of the meetings if they still end up getting information from Ron and Hermione. The answer is that they're more mad at the idea of being left out than anything, and they want to ask questions to people like Dumbledore and the aurors, but they can't since they're not allowed to attend meetings. Ron and Hermione could ask for them, but it might begin to look suspicious if they ask too many questions.
Please review, reviews make me so happy!
