"No wait," Harry said frowning, as he started look through the book, "you guys got together exactly a week after me and Ginny got together," Harry asked Hermione and Ron.
"Yeah, and it's 'Ginny and I' Harry,"
"Well, it seems we have three winners," Harry said, ignoring the latter statement.
"Who?" Lavender asked.
"Well it's Emma, Vickii and Katia Diaz!" Harry announced, smiling. He remembered when they placed their bet. They were in the 5th year triplets and were very popular, and each were in different houses. Emma, the oldest, was in Ravenclaw, Vickii in Gryffindor and Katia, the youngest, was in Hupplepuff (sp).
"We can meet up with them in the Great Hall for dinner," Ginny said, looking at the group.
"Yeah," Parvati agreed speaking for the entire group.
"But in the mean time," Harry said, "do you wanna play a game of chess, Ron?"

"Congratulations, girls! You all are the proud owner of the pot of 80 Galleons, 10 Sickle and 9 Knuts!" Harry said, presenting Emma, Vickii and Katia with their winning.
"Cheers, Harry!" Vickii replied, smiling.
It was after dinner, and Harry had met up with Vickii in the Great Hall during dinner, and asked if she and her sister could meet him in the Transfiguration classroom after dinner.
"Er – if you guys don't mind me asking, how did you know to bet on exactly a week after Harry and Ginny got together?" Dean asked, eying Katia with great interest, well, more than the others that is. Katia smiled flirtingly at Dean. (A/N sorry, Katia! I couldn't have helped myself! I hope you didn't mind!)
"Well aside from the assuming that Hermione and Ron may get the lovey-dovey vibes from Harry and Ginny," Katia started, "let's just say we have a lucky hunch!"
"You're last name is Diaz, right?" Hermione asked, looking at Emma, Vickii and Katia with increased interest.
"Yeah," Emma answered.
"You all are not, by chance, related to the famous Seer, Gabriella Diaz?
"Yes, we are. She's our mum. And unlike Professor 'What's Her Name', we actually have The Gift of Foresight," Vickii said, smiling with pride. Katia was too busy flirting with Dean to notice where the conversation was going.
"Hmmmmmmmmmm. That interesting," Hermione muttered.
"Well, cheers, Harry! We have big plans for this money," Vickii said, "We're planning to start our own band!"
"We like to put the Weird Sisters out of business!" Emma said smiling.
"Really? Cool!" Ginny, Lavender and Parvati exclaimed.
"Can we hear one of your songs?" Ginny asked.
"Sure!" Katia said, finally being obvious to the world around her, "Just pass back here at 8 o'clock! Professor McGonagall actually gave us permission to use the classroom to practice in!"
"COOL!"

"Are you guys ready!" Emma asked, putting her long honey brown into an 'I didn't care' ponytail. She was the lead singer and one of the two guitarists, Katia was the second. Vickii was the drummer. They learnt that for the other instrumental sounds, other bands used magic.
"Okay, this song is called 'Stupid Girls,'" Vickii said, "but be warned, there are some serious swear words in this song. If you don't like the swearing, block your ears (A/N or in your case, skip the song.),"

Stupid girl, stupid girls, stupid girls
Baby if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Go to Fred Segal, you'll find them there
Laughing loud so all the little people stare
Looking for a daddy to pay for the champagne
(Drop a name)
What happened to the dreams of a girl president
She's dancing in the video next to 50 Cent
They travel in packs of two or three
With their itsy bitsy doggies and their teeny-weeny tees
Where, oh where, have the smart people gone?
Oh where, oh where could they be?
Baby if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
(Break it down now)
Disease's growing, it's epidemic
I'm scared that there ain't a cure
The world believes it and I'm going crazy
I cannot take any more
I'm so glad that I'll never fit in
That will never be me
Outcasts and girls with ambition
That's what I wanna see
Disasters all around
World despaired
Their only concern
Will they fuck up my hair?
Baby if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Interlude
Oh my god you guys, I totally had more that 300 calories
That was so not sexy, no
Good one, can I borrow that?
Vomits
I WILL BE SKINNY!
(Do ya thing, do ya thing, do ya thing)
(I like this, like this, like this)
Pretty will you fuck me girl, silly as a lucky girl
Pull my head and suck it girl, stupid girl!
Pretty would u fuck me girl, silly as a lucky girl
Pull my head and suck it girl, stupid girl!
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, stupid girl!
Baby if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl

It was a week after the meeting with Emma, Vickii and Katia, and Ginny could be found studying in the library, when she noticed that her DA coin was beginning to grow hot. 'Was there going to be a DA meeting?' she wondered. She decided to pass by the Gryffindor common to find out what was going on.
When she arrived, she noticed that Hermione, Ron and surprisingly, Neville was sitting in a deserted corner in the Gryffindor common, looking very worried.
"What's going on?" Ginny asked, setting her books down on the free armchair, next to Hermione, "Do you know why my DA coin suddenly decided to become warm?"
Hermione quickly explained about Harry going with Dumbledore on some 'mission', about Draco Malfoy and how he and Snape may be up to something that involved the Room of Requirements, the Felix Feicis and that she, Ron and Neville were using the Marauder's Map to keep a watch to Malfoy, who had mysteriously disappeared from sight.
"And Harry said to – to tell you goodbye, Ginny," Hermione finished, she eyes filled with tears. Ginny felt as if something cold just slipped down onto her stomach. It chilled every bone in her body.
What if something terrible happened to him? What if she would never see him again? Without a proper goodbye. What if it was a trap set by some Death Eater is killed both him and Dumbledore. Like killing two birds with one stone.
No. Don't think like that! Ginny said to herself.
"Come on Ginny. Harry told us to keep an eye on things," Ron said, "and I reckon that Malfoy is in the Room of Requirements if he's disappeared on the map."
.¸¸.·´¨»
.¸¸.·´¨»
«´¨·. ¸¸.
When Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Neville arrived outside the Room of Requirements, they found Luna Lovegood waiting for them. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, playing with her chain of Butter Beer corks.
"Do any of you know why the Room is refusing to open?" she asked in her dreamy voice.
There was a quick run through on what was happening tonight and what was suspected to happen.
"But before we do anything," Ron started, as he pulled out the bottle of Felix Felicis from his pocket, "Harry left this for us. It's his lucky potion; he said that for us to take it, just in case. So, Cheers!"
Each took a careful measured gulp of Felix.
"Okay," Ron said, "Hermione and Luna, you guys should go and hide out near Snape's office. And me, Ginny and Neville would stay here and wait for Malfoy when he comes out. Alright? We'll keep a watch on you by using the Marauder Map. Good?"
"Yeah. Come on Luna. And remember everybody, be careful,"
.¸¸.·´¨»
.¸¸.·´¨»
«´¨·. ¸¸.
There was complete silence between Ron, Ginny and Neville as they patrolled the seven floor. No one dared speak a word. Hoping to be able to hear if anything's happening in the Room of requirements.
After what felt like hours, a soft pop was heard. The group spun around to find a large oak door had suddenly materialized on the wall. They approached the door carefully, with wands drawn out.
There was a soft creak, and you had have seen to white blond head on Draco Malfoy. But, before Ginny, Ron or Neville could have reacted, Malfoy spotted them. He smirked at them.
"It's has not been a pleasure meeting you, Weasley, Weasley and Longbottom. Goodbye," and with that, he threw a black powder into the air, and darkness engulfed them.

Hermione and Luna ran down the corridors and down the twisting passageways leading to the dungeons, to the Potion's Master office.
There was silence within the chamber, but little did they know, the Potion Master was waiting impatiently for the attack to begin. Finally, he would have his revenge on Dumbledore.
And hidden in the shadows, Hermione and Luna waiting for their moment to come.

"Ron! Neville!" Ginny shouted, panicking slightly. It was not everyday you were swallowed up by darkness, now were you. Ginny tripping on her own feet, and fell into some one.
"Ginny?"
"Ron?"
"Neville? Where are you?"
"I'm her -" Neville started, but was cut short. You could have heard the door creaking again, and there were footsteps. Like rats, crawling down a sewage. The soft hitting of feet against the ground
"Lumos!"
"Incendio!"
They tried everything but were not able to bring light into the pitch-black darkness. There only hope was to try to feel their way out.
After many trips and slips, they were able to find there way out of the corridor. Lucky, they were able to find Professor McGonagall, Professor Lupin, Tonks and Bill patrol the 6th floor.
"Bill!" Ron shouting, sprinting down the hall way to his oldest brother, the others were not far behind.
"Ron, Ginny. What are you doing here?" Bill asked, his handsome face reflected the same worry that was on Ginny's and Ron's.
"Death Eaters! In Hogwarts," Ginny said, clutching the side of her chest.
"What! Ms. Weasley! What in this world are you talking about!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed.
"There's no time to explain," Ron started, "but here's the proof," and he handed Professor Lupin the Map. At the first glance of the Map, Lupin turned a deadly pale.
"They're right," he said, and for the first time, worry with laced into his voice\, which was normally so calm.
"Seriously, Remus," Professor McGonagall said in a pleading voice.
"I'm afraid so," he replied, "come on. We'll need to get some help. There're no time to explain. If we move fast we may be able to beat the Death Eaters to it. They're headed towards the Astrometry Tower,"
"I'll go get help," McGonagall said, walking away from the group, through a solid wall pretending to be a door. No one even made a comment about McGonagall knowing one of the school's hidden passageways.
"You three, it makes no sense sending you to your common rooms because you may most likely sneak out again to help," Professor Lupin said, beckoning them to follow him, "we'll try to head off those Death Eater, and alert the other Order members on the way,"
.¸¸.·´¨»
.¸¸.·´¨»
«´¨·. ¸¸.
Professor McGonagall, on her way to find help for the other Hogswart's teachers, bumped into Professor Flitwick.
Literally.
"Sorry, Filius," McGonagall said, helping Professor Flitwick to his feet, "are you alright?"
"Yes. But what is the rush Minerva?" Flitwick asked, dusting off his robes, looking up at McGonagall.
"Oh, Filius. Death Eaters are in the castle, somehow they entered the castle. Can you go and tell Snape that they are standing towards the Astronomy (sp) Tower? And after, can you come and help? Remus and the others are heading there to try and head them off," McGonagall said all in a rush.
"Of course," Flitwick said, and he hurried towards the dungeons.
"I'm getting to old for this," McGonagall muttered to herself, heading towards Professor Vector's office.

«´¨·. ¸¸.
Hermione and Luna sat guarding Snape's door, half hidden in the shadows in the dungeons.
Suddenly, footsteps could have been heard, thundering down the stairs. Hermione and Luna pushed themselves closer to the wall so they could not be seen.
It was Professor Flitwick. He was shouting something Hermione and Luna could not understand. They saw when he rushed into Professor's Snape's office.
First, you could have heard their voices, after a few seconds, thump and there were complete silence from inside the office.
Luna and Hermione looked at each other for a second and nodded and walked towards Snape's office door, with their wands held tightly in their hands.
Just in case.

.¸¸.·´¨»
«´¨·. ¸¸.
"Professor Snape?" Hermione called out, as she and Luna walked cautiously into the dark office.
In the back of the room, their saw Professor Snape, but Professor Flitwick was nowhere to be found. Professor Snape, Hermione noticed, was a bit paler that normal. At the sound of Hermione's voice, he looked up, and you could have seen the dark circles that surrounded his eyes, and his face held no emotions what so ever.
"Granger! Lovegood!" he said, in a dead sort of voice, "Take Professor Flitwick is the Hospital Wing, he seem to have passed out. Hurry, hurry! What are you waiting for!"
Hermione and Luna rushed towards Professor Flitwick unconscious form, and Professor Snape rushed thought the door before Luna or Hermione could have said another word.
They both looked down at Professor Flitwick, wondering what in the earth would happen next.

Professor Snape ran up the flights of stairs, his black robes bellowing behind him. Finally, he arrived at the entrance of the Astronomy tower. Neville Longbottom tried to run through the door, but was refused entry, and as thrown backwards, clashing into a statue of Eric, the Oddball.
'Idiotic Boy," Snape muttered to himself, and ran through the barrier and up the stairs, when the true battle was taking place.

"Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.
"Severus…please…"
Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore.
"Avada Kadavra!"
A jet of green light shot from the end of Snape's wand and hit Dumbledore squarely in the chest. Harry's scream of horror never left him; silent and unmoving, he was forced to watch as Dumbledore was blasted into the air – for a split second, he seemed to hang suspended beneath the shining skull, and then he fell slowly backwards, like a great rag doll, over the battlements and sight of sight…"

A/N Hope you like and that you were not confessed by all the different scene changes! I will continue with Ginny finding Harry and whatnot in the next chapter. I'm not all that good with the action writing, I'm better with humor and some fluff. There may be some errors, sorry.
And I have a strange feeling that some one might flame me for that song. I hope I'm wrong about that.
REVIEW! They make me wanna write!
