The next few days passed by Harry so slow, he thought it passed an eternity. He sat in the Common Room, making his homework at Potions alone, wondering why Lupin didn't answer his letter. A beak was made heard at the window next to Harry. Harry opened the window and Hedwig flew across the room, then settle on Harry's shoulder. Harry took the piece of parchment, and read it in silence.
"Harry,
I must say that I am outrage at the fact that Dumbledore kept this away from you, he talked about him at the Order, but we didn't imagine that he might never talked to you this. Frederik Frowning was a spy of the Minister sent to keep an eye foe Voldemort….unfortunately things didn't turn out that well….Harry this is a big issue, we must meet in the Dark Forest at noon; bring Ron and Ginny too.''
"A spy at the Minister'" thought Harry…… Then Ron and Hermione came in arguing as usual.
-"You are not the boss of me Hermione!"
- "Well someone should listen to what you're saying, obviously you're not!''screamed the girl with anger
- "It is my bussines with whom I talk or what I talk!"
- "GUYS!'' Yelled Harry at them, making them stop, but Hermione still looked furious. He handed them the letter and then Ron spoke.:
- "We should probably get going, let's find Ginny!"
- "Hold on! I'm going to! I'm involved in this issue as much as you do!" said Hermione outraged.
- "Okay then…..come on" replied Harry, knowing Hermione was not in a good mood to contradict.
They walked slowly to Hagrid's hut, Ron made a sign to Ginny who was talking with Neville; and then the four of them vanish in the Dark Forest. Inside all kind of sound and whispers where frightening Ron, giving him cold shivers all over his body. A few trees way from them there was a dark silhouette waving at them. Harry recognized Lupin. He ran to him, followed by Ginny, Ron and Hermione.
"Hi there!" said Harry loudly.
"Shhhttt! Keep it down!" said Lupin in a whisper.
He looked weaker than ever, his face all full of scratches and his eyes looked sad.
"Hermione! What are doing here?"
"I have the wright to be here too! Harry, Ginny, and Ron are my friends and I cannot stay beside!"
"Of course you are….but…..Oh, well , fine!'' he said finally.
"So what is with this Frowning?" asked Harry, sitting down next to Lupin.
"Like I said, he was a great auror at the Minster, and at the time when Voldemort was still alive, before you where born Harry, Fudge sent him to spy on Voldemort, so he became a Death Eater. Alas, he was consumed by the dark force, and he felt attracted to Voldemort's plans, so he became the enemy…Rumors say that one day, he ran off not knowing why, he manage to hide from him many years, until know….he return to Hogwarts…Dumbledore is outraged at this, he fought with Fudge, but the Minister said the Frowning just burst into Fudge's office and demanded to be sent to Hogwarts." He stopped looking at the dark grass underneath him.
"But why?'' asked Ron suddenly forcing Hermione to give him a desgusted look.
"Because he want to revenge on Voldemort and want to protect Dumbledore, although this is a bit…ironic….." she stopped concentrating at something, narrowing her eyes then she spoke looking at Harry. " Oh dear.."
"What?" said Ron.
"Lupin, you don't think that…" she stopped looking at him with the same frightened expression that he was looking at Harry.
"That he might attacked me and Dumbledore , that he's still a Death Eater ?"said Harry incredibly calm.
Nobody spoke…..clearly everybody was thinking at that thought, but then Lupin rose up, so did the rest of them.
"We shouldn't think about that ….but still Harry keep an eye at Frowning. You should probably go then" As Harry watched how his mates walked to the light, he remained with Lupin telling him about the Dragon Silver Tooth .After he finished, Lupin was looking stunned at him, but instead of being happy, Harry saw his revolted expression.
"Don't you dare doing such stupid things Harry! It's extremely dangerous! You could get expelled for stealing ingredients; besides it's not tested….I repeat don't do such foolishness!" he said to him like to a five year old.
Harry lead his head down of disappointment then walked away, catching up with his friends.
" Well, this situation complicates things a bit" said Ginny , holding tight her books, with her eyes wet.
"Are you allright Ginny?" asked her Hermione, attracting Harry's attention.
"Well, no, I'm not! Everything is so……complicated, it's just….I'm okay," she said calming down.." I'm must go study for my OWL'S " then she took the corner in a rush.
"Ginny….." Harry said in a whisper staring at the place she left.
"Harry? Come…Let's go!" said Hermione dragging him….but Harry seemed hypnotized ."Harry!" yelled Ron.
"What? I'm fine, let's go.." then he took off.
"You like her don't you?" said Hermione smiling at him.
"What? No, How could you think something like that?" he said blushing. He gave Ron a look, but didn't show any expression, in fact he didn't seemed to be paying attention to the embarrassing conversation he was having with Hermione.
"Oh, come on ,it's obvious! Isn't it Ron?"
"What?" said Ron looking at them reluctantly .
"Never mind" said Hermione sighing ."Let's go, we have Herbology"
All the lesson Harry couldn't think about something else beside Frowning and Ginny….He tried to make "the Ginny thoughts" go away, but he didn't succeeded.
Amazingly Ron didn't pay any attention to Harry, he just sat and listen to what professor Sprout was saying . After the lesson was over he tried to catch up with Ron, who was almost running.
" Hey, what's the hurry?"
"Err, nothing….habit" said Ron dry.
"Hey what's wrong? Is this about Ginny?"
Ron stopped at the Entrance Door to the castle, facing Harry, with a lot of anger in his eyes, that Harry'd never seen before.
"Look, Ginny is my sister, you may date with her if you like, but only if you really really really really fancy her, I mean…you know!…..So, do you?"
"No, Ron, I don't know, I can't she's your sister." Said Harry trembling in his words.
"So what if she is my sister? Like I said….you can ask her out or something, I know you won't hurt her, but if you will, watch out!" and with that Ron left leaving Harry speechless, staring at the wooden door.
The next thing he knew, Harry was at Hagrid's hut, along with Hermione, Ron and he other Gryffindors from his year.
"Good-afternoon to ya'll!" said Hagrid cheerfully. He winked at the trio, and they response with a huge smile ."Today we will study Nymphs. Parvati and Lavender utter an amazed sound and soon all the class started to pay attention to the professor.
"These wonderful creatures are like humans, but they are spirits of the woods or sea….they mostly live in isolated places, far from civilizations, what I mean is that they do not live here next to Hogwarts. They have incredibly powers, they can transform one's reality into his own reality, forcing him to live with his own dreams, people and wishes…..but…when he comes back to the real world he finds himself confuse, depressed….These nymphs are like drugs they make you feel better, but they're extremely dangerous , very dangerous, so if somehow, you hear them just ignore them, don't pay any attention to them, they can turn your life upside down." He ended with that making everybody look at each other a bit scared. The whole lesson they continued lecturing about the nymphs; Harry looked at the wonderful creatures and just for one moment Harry saw the nymph waving at him sensually. He heard the last word of every phrase tat he read repeating itself or by a female whisper followed by strange, high violins notes. He shut the book, he looked at Hermione and Ron, but they didn't seemed to be affected…He looked at the forest but he didn't saw anything and doesn't even want to see.
