Chapter 5

The Decision

"Well, look at the time. It's nearly past one." McGonagall said looking at the clock on her desk. "To bed for the four of you." And with that said the four of them go up and left. When they go down from the golden stairs, they noticed a door they have never seen before. They walked through the door and noticed the four house symbols on the walls. "What do you think this is Harry?" Ron asked Harry as he was touching the Gryffindor symbol. "I have no idea, but since we are in here we might as well see what it does." Harry answered Ron. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were holding onto Harry as he pushed in the Gryffindor symbol. "Uh… nothing happened Harry." Ginny said looking around all confused. They all stepped outside the door and to there amazement, they were outside the Gryffindor portrait.

"What do you suppose that was?" Ron asked as he was running his hand up and the door as if that was going to answer his question. "I'm guessing it's like a elevator requirement or something just like the room of requirement." Harry said to Ron who gave up looking for an answer on the door. "Password" the fat lady said. "Uhh… Well you see, we just um….got here and we don't um…know the password." Ron said to the fat lady nervously. "Well no password--you may enter." The fat lady said to the confused group. Right before they were about to walk in, they realized why the fat lady opened up, a second year Gryffindor walked up to the side of them and mumbled the password. "OI… you there, what's the password?" Ron yelled out to a nervous second year, "Th…the p…pass…password is mug…mug…muggle." The second year student ran up to the dormitory looking nervous and scared.

As soon as they walked into the common room, as if it was an instant reaction, they retreated to their favorite seats near the fire place. 'So what do you think is going to happen now with us?" Ginny asked Hermione with a questioning look on her face. Hermione really didn't know how to answer this, all she knew was that they were suppose to spend the night at Hogwarts and leave in the morning. Harry and Ron both noticed the look and the girl's faces, "What's up you two?" Harry and Ron both asked at the same time. Hermione and Ginny just looked at each other before answering. "What are we doing? Staying here or leaving?"

This was a good question for Harry; he didn't even know what they were going to do. This was something he really never thought about until now. "Well…umm…I….umm…don't really know." Harry said with a small guilty laugh. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny just sat there with a dumb, confused look on their faces. "What do you mean you don't know! You suppose to know Harry, you're the one who has to go out and kill Vol…Vol…Voldemort, the three of us here came with you to protect you mate. You're like part of Ginny and I family, you're like my brother, who knows what will happen to us if he does you in, especially Ginny. Who would take care of her huh? You're the only one she ever loved Harry and I would hate to see her alone and you not there to be with her. And what about my mum? She is as good as your mother you know!" Ron had to catch his breath after saying all that, and too his surprise, Harry was lost for words.

Harry walked up to Ginny who was clearly trying to hold back her tears. Everything Ron said about Ginny was true, who would be there for her if Harry was killed, and Harry is and will always be her first love. Harry held Ginny close to him kissing her gently on the top of her head. "Your right Ron, I'm the one who has to go out and kill him, that's why I didn't want you guys to come with me in the first place. Ron you are my brother no matter what, and Ginny no matter what happens, I will always be with you in your heart, I love you so much Ginny, I don't want anything to happen to you." When Harry finished Ginny started crying happy tears and started kissing passionately. When they separated, Harry noticed a concerned look on Hermione's face. "What is it Hermione?" Hermione just looked at Harry with a weird look. "But are we staying or leaving? You never answered that question."

"Like I told you before," Harry said raising his voice a little, "I'm not too sure right now. I'm going to bed, I'll let you guys know tomorrow ok?" They just nodded, and Harry gave Ginny a goodnight kiss and went up to the boys dormitory. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny didn't really know what to do; they just sat there just looking at each other. "You know what; going to bed seems really nice right about now." Ron said with a hearty laugh, he got up and Gave Hermione a goodnight kiss and went up to bed. Since the girls were by themselves, they decided to do the same thing.

DREAM--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wormtail!"

"Ye…Yes my L…L…Lord?"

"Have you found Potter, Wormtail?"

"Ye…Yes, He is…at…at…his frie….friends house."

"Good Wormtail, I want you and a few of the death eaters to go there and bring him back to me, if he is not there Wormtail, you know what to do with the extras.."

"Ye…Yes…My…L…L…Lord. Is…tha…that…it?"

"Yes now GO!"

END DREAM-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"NO!" Harry woke up screaming. He knew he woke all his friends but he didn't care as long as Ron was awake since he was the only one in the room who could know of this dream. "Harry what's wrong? Did you see Vol….Vol…Voldemort?" Harry just nodded and jerked his head towards the door, Ron got the hint and both he and Ron went outside to the common room. Harry put his hand on his scar; it was burning so badly it felt like his head was on fire. "How you reckon we get Hermione and Ginny?" Ron asked while looking at the stairs to girl's dormitory trying to figure out a way to get them. "Uh…crookshanks! Crookshanks come here I need your help. Go into the girl's dormitory and try to get Hermione and Ginny's attention and bring them down here." Harry said to the ginger cat, and crookshanks went up to the room just like Harry told the cat to do.

There really wasn't a point for crookshanks to get them, as she was about to start climbing the stairs Hermione and Ginny were already coming downstairs followed by there fellow 7th year friends. "Hey Ron, hey Harry" Hermione gave Ron a kiss but noticed a nervous look on his face, "What's wrong Ron?" Hermione was starting to get nervous; Ginny was also looking at them suspiciously. "Harry is everything ok? Is the Burrow ok?" Ginny asked Harry who just gave a look towards Ron who nodded.

"Well first all I want to say is that I have decided that we should stay for our final year, but right now we have to go back to the Burrow to make sure everyone is alright." Harry noticed confusing faces on there faces and told them the dream he had, "We have to go back!" Ron interrupted. "Hold on, I'm going to send Hedwig to Lupin so he can inform the Order to go there, Hermione I want you and Ginny to go to McGonagall and tell her what I just told you and that I have informed Lupin and we are going to the Burrow for one last day before we start school." Hermione and Ginny just nodded at Harry and went almost in a run to find McGonagall. Ron really felt out of place, Harry was writing the letter to Lupin, Hermione and Ginny went to see McGonagall and Ron was just there and feeling useless. "Harry I'm going up to the olwery while you write the letter." Ron said to Harry who gave him a nod telling him he herd him.

Dear Lupin,

Last night I had a dream about Voldemort.
He asked Wormtail if he has found me and Wormtail said he found me at the burrow. Voldemort has sent Wormtail with a few death eaters to the burrow to bring me back. But Voldemort also said that if I'm not there, he told him to do something with the extras, I think me meant kill them. So please Lupin inform other members of the Order. I, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny are going there as soon as Hermione and Ginny come back from telling Professor McGonagall. We also have decided that we are going to be here for our last year. Thanks.

Harry

'Hmm…where is everyone? They should have been back by now.' Harry thought to himself. Ron, Hermione and Ginny were taking too long, he even knew this. 'Might as well go look for them myself.' As Harry got up to leave to portrait opened and Ginny walked thru trying to catch her breath. "Ginny where's Hermione?" Ginny went over by Harry and sat. "She…she… h…ha…has…disappeared." Ginny said finally getting her breath back. "She said that she was going to the bathroom when we were on our way back from seeing McGonagall—o yeah, she wants to talk to you when we return." Harry nodded and told Ginny why Ron wasn't there neither.

"Ginny, do you still have your coin from the D.A.?" Harry asked while looking for his. "Yes, of course. Remember you said to keep it with us at all times?" Ginny said holding out her coin with a smile. Finally Harry found his coin, "Ginny let's leave and split up and look for them. I'm going to put a spell on our coins so that if one us finds them all we do is put any 3 numbers together and where ever you or I are, the place where they are at, will appear on the coin." Ginny just looked at with a confused look, "Never mind just give me your coin." Harry took the coin and said an incantation, and gave the coin back to Ginny and they both left.
