I am back to post the next chapter! YAY!

PIRATES WAS SO COOL! But why did it have to end in a cliffy? WHY! Now we have to wait a whole year! WHY WHY WHY WHY!

Now everyone, (mostly girls, though) Imagine Daniel Radcliffe as a pirate. No, even better, imagine him in Captin Jack's or Will Turner's clothes! Now, is that hott or what?

On with the story!

----------------------

The next few days passed the same way. The detentions weren't getting any better and the homework didn't stop. The four teens couldn't figure out Danny's dream either, and the news of what happened in Divination had spread very quickly. People, mostly girls, were coming up and telling them it must be a terrible dream and that 'if he wanted to talk' they would be there for him. And when they would say this they would put their hands on his shoulder, some even got the courage to hug him before leaving then Danny would blush madly.

On Thursday, after detention during which the sentence was now on his hand permanently, Harry was walking back to the common room when he ran into Ron.

"Ron, what are you doing?" asked Harry.

"Um, I'm," he stuttered, trying to hide his broom.

"Tell me," said Harry.

Ron explained that he was trying out for Keeper. Harry said it was great, although he was worried that if one of his friends made it and the other didn't what would happen.

"Harry, what's on your hand?" asked Ron, Harry had just reached up to scratch his nose.

"Nothing," he said quickly.

Finally he told Ron and Hermione about the lines.

"I can't believe her! She made the two of you do that!" said Hermione furiously.

"You have to tell someone," said Ron.

"No, I don't want her to know that she's gotten to me," insisted Harry.

---------------------------------

Friday at five o'clock Harry walked into Umbridge's office and started writing lines. Every chance he got he looked out the window to see the tryouts, but after night had fallen he could no longer see.

After he was done Harry walked up to Umbridge and when she touched his hand he felt a deep pain in his stomach. "Hurts doesn't it?" she asked, and then sent him away.

When Harry walked into the common room Danny ran up to him.

"Guess what! I'm Keeper!" he exclaimed.

"What? Really. That's great!" he exclaimed. They walked over to Ron. "So Ron, how did you do?" asked Harry, dreading the worst.

"He did great!" said Danny. "I only stopped one goal more than him, I think the only reason he didn't make it was because the sun was setting during his turn."

"It's fine, I can always tryout next year. A lot of people are graduating," said Ron. Harry nodded.

After Harry had sat down with everyone he explained what had happened in Umbridge's office when she touched him.

"So do you think she's being controlled?" asked Hermione.

"Maybe," said Harry thoughtfully.

"She's horrible and twisted, she is," said Ron.

"Yes she is, Harry I think you should tell Dumbledore," whispered Hermione.

"No, I'm not bothering him with this," said Harry. "Anyway, I'm going to bed. See you in the morning."

He and Ron walked up to bed while Hermione started teaching Danny magic from their second and third year.

-----------------------------------

It was about 11 o'clock, and the common room was empty leaving only Hermione and Danny. It was about midnight when Danny's ghost sense went off, Hermione noticed him shiver.

"Danny, are you okay?" she asked putting down her book.

"No, I think there's a ghost around," said Danny.

"Of course, there's ghosts everywhere." she said rolling her eyes.

"No, I know when it's a Hogwarts ghost, it feels different. This is something I've never felt before, like it's something else, not a ghost or maybe a really strong ghost," explained Danny.

"Well what do you want to do?" asked Hermione.

Danny stood and so did Hermione. "Come with me." Danny transformed into his ghost half and grabbed Hermione making them both intangible then flew through the wall.

Danny landed after about five minutes of flying around the school. Both of them looked around.

"Danny, I don't see anything," said Hermione after a moment.

"Yeah, and I don't feel it any more either," muttered Danny.

Just before he was about to suggest that they fly back to the common room they heard footsteps. Hermione's eyes widened, Danny looked around and found the door closest to them. He grabbed Hermione again and fazed her into the door. Unfortunately, it was a broom closet with little to no room so once he turned them solid again they were both squeezed up against each other.

Hermione was the only one to notice this though; Danny was too busy looking at the door. Hermione felt a blush creep onto her cheeks, her hands were placed up against his chest and their faces were only about six inches apart.

'Wow, he sure is well built. He has to have at least a four pack, if not a six-pack,' thought Hermione, then she mentally slapped herself. 'No! Bad Hermione, you can't think that about you best friend!' Then a voice in the back of her head said, 'Your very hot best friend. Your very smart, hot best friend.' Hermione's blush deepened.

Finally Danny, who still hadn't noticed their awkward position, pulled her out of her thoughts. "Whoever it was is gone," he said turning to face her, then finally noticing that they were only a moment away from kissing. "Um, sorry. I just needed a place to faze into and this was the only place to go," he choked out quickly as he blushed. He was about to move his arm to turn her intangible but noticed that he already had his hands on her waist; he hadn't taken them off when they had entered the closet.

He cleared his throat, turned her intangible and flew with her to the common room in silence. When they reappeared in the common room Danny turned back to normal and they said their goodbyes.

When Hermione lay down to sleep all she could think about was Danny. 'No! I can't have a crush on him, what would it do to our friendship?' she told herself over and over again, but in the end the crush won out. 'Okay, maybe I have a crush on him,' she finally admitted, then added, 'Yeah, along with every other girl in school.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That morning Danny woke up early and got dressed. He walked down stairs into the common room where Hermione was sitting doing some homework. "Hi Hermione," he greeted while sitting down and pulling out some of his homework.

Hermione looked up and blushed a little. "Oh, hi Danny," she said.

After a moment Danny spoke up again. "So, should we tell Harry and Ron about what happened last night?" asked Danny.

Hermione gave him a confused look. "You know, about my ghost sense and how I felt something weird."

"Oh! I don't think so; Harry is under enough stress as it is, with that dream and Umbridge. If we have to, then yes, but not now," said Hermione. Danny nodded and they went back to their homework.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry woke up and looked around the room, it looked like Danny was up already and in the common room. Harry pulled out a quill and paper and started writing a letter to Sirius, making sure to make it as secretive as possible. After re-reading it a few times he got dressed and walked down stairs and just as he predicted Danny and Hermione were in the common room doing homework.

"Hi guys, Danny, why did you get up so early?" asked Harry.

"I kept having that dream," Danny replied leaning back in his chair.

Harry sighed. "I'll be back, I'm going to the Owlery," he said climbing through the portrait hole.

On the way there he ran into Nearly Headless Nick. "I wouldn't go down that way," he said pointing down the hallway, "Peeves is planning an amusing joke on the next person to walk by."

"Does it involve Paracelsus falling on top of people's heads?" asked Harry.

"Yes it does, I think I'll find Bloody Baron, he might be able to stop him. Or maybe your friend Danny, I hear he is half ghost and got a shot at Peeves the other day," said Nick. "Ever since Peeves is afraid of him." Harry nodded and walked away.

At the Owlery, Harry handed Hedwig the letter and told him to deliver it to Sirius. He looked out the nearest window, and a few moments later the door opened and none other than Cho walked in.

"Hi," said Harry quickly.

"Oh hi, I didn't think anyone would be up this early. I just remembered it was my mum's birthday," she said showing him the box she was holding.

She walked over to the window with him. "Nice day, isn't it?" he asked, feeling rather stupid.

"Yes, nice Quidditch conditions. I haven't been out all week, you?" she asked.

"No, not at all," Harry answered.

"Hey, does Gryffindor have a new Keeper?" asked Cho.

"Yeah, my friend Danny, the one who was on the train with me," answered Harry.

"Oh, I remember him. He was nice, sort of made an embarrassing moment really funny," laughed Cho. "Is he good?" she asked as she attached the present to the owl's leg.

"I don't know, I was in detention," said Harry.

"That Umbridge woman is foul. Putting you in detention just because you told the truth, about how- how he died. You were really brave standing up to her like that," said Cho.

Harry smiled. She thought he was brave.

Suddenly the caretaker, Filch walked in. "Aha!" he exclaimed, "I had a tip off that you are intending to place a massive order for Dungbombs!"

Harry put his arms over his chest. "Who said that?"

"I have my sources, now hand over whatever it is you're sending," he said.

"I can't, it's gone," said Harry.

"How do I know you don't have it in your pocket?" asked Filch.

"Because I saw him send it," said Cho.

"You did?" he asked, Cho nodded. "If I catch a whiff of a Dungbomb . . ." he walked out.

"Thanks." said Harry.

"Your welcome, you're not ordering them, right?" asked Cho.

"No, I'm not." assured Harry.

"Good."

Cho finished tying her package to the owl and sent it away. "Bye Harry, I'll see you later."

"Yeah, later," said Harry weakly. He was alone again.

------------------------------------

Harry sat down at breakfast about thirty minutes later, smiling.

"Why are you so happy?" asked Ron.

"Um, Quidditch later," answered Harry.

"That reminds me Harry, do you mind going down with me early to get some practice in before training starts?" asked Danny.

"Yeah, okay." answered Harry.

"I don't think you should, Harry, you're really behind on homework-" started Hermione, but then stopped as the owls flew in and one dropped Hermione a copy of the Daily Prophet.

In the paper it said that they got a tip off that Sirius Black was in London (Lucius Malfoy probably) and they found an article about a break in at the Ministry of Magic. It was Sturgis Podmore, the man that was supposed to be a guard for Harry. They thought that maybe it was a set up, but weren't too sure.

After breakfast Danny and Harry walked down to the Quidditch pitch, and Ron let Danny borrow his broom so he wouldn't have to use one of the school brooms. Danny said he would buy his own soon.

Danny hovered in front of the three rings while Harry played as Chaser, hitting in Quaffles. Danny was very good; he blocked over half of Harry's throws. After a while they both walked back to the school for lunch, then they returned for their real training session.

"Hey Danny, you all right?" asked Fred.

"Yeah, just fine. Worked in a little practice before lunch," answered Danny.

Angelina walked in and began to talk. "Let's go, oh and there are a couple people watching, just ignore them."

Harry had a hunch that he knew who were watching, and sure enough, it was the Slytherin team. "Is that Fenton riding?" asked Malfoy. "Why would anyone put a flying charm on a moldy old log like that? Did you get it from Weasley?" All of the team laughed at Draco's joke.

"Ignore them," whispered Harry.

"Who? I don't hear anyone," said Danny, smiling.

"Exactly the attitude I want, Danny," said Angelina.

The practice started out bad, but they tried their best and by the middle the Slytherins, Malfoy included, couldn't find anything to laugh at. Danny was catching everything the team threw at him.

"Your doing great Danny!" exclaimed Angelina.

The practice continued for another thirty minutes, and many saves from Danny later, the practice ended. But during the whole practice Malfoy wouldn't stop trying to insult the team members and failing. They didn't let him get to them at all.

"How was practice?" asked Hermione when they walked into the common room.

"Danny was great!" exclaimed Harry. "He really showed Malfoy!"

That night they were the only ones left in the common room doing their homework when an owl flew into the room.

"Is that Hermes?" asked Hermione.

"Blimey, it is!" said Ron. "Why is Percy writing to me?"

"Percy, the brother that turned on you guys?" asked Danny.

"Yeah." said Ron opening the letter.

The whole letter was basically to tell Ron to stop being friends with Harry and that Dumbledore was crazy. That and something about reading the Prophet the next day and being loyal to Umbridge.

"Well, if you want to what," he checked Percy's letter, "'sever ties' with me I swear I won't get violent," said Harry.

"Yeah, do you think he wants you to be friend with a half ghost? I might turn on you and become crazy," said Danny rolling his eyes.

Ron took the letter and tore it up. "He is the world's biggest git!" he exclaimed.

They all sat back down and continued their homework, but Harry was staring at the fire. Then suddenly he thought he saw a flash in the middle of the fire, it looked like Sirius.

Harry fell to the ground and sat in front of the fire. "Harry, what are you doing?" asked Hermione.

"I think I saw Sirius's head in the fire." said Harry.

"What, that can't be- Sirius!" she exclaimed as Sirius's head appeared in the fire and this time stayed.

"There you guys are, I've been checking over and over," said Sirius.

"What! Were you seen?" asked Hermione.

"Well, I think a first year girl did, but she probably thought she was seeing things," said Sirius. "Harry, I got your letter and this is the only way I could think of contacting you without sending another letter."

"You didn't say you'd written to Sirius," said Hermione.

Harry shrugged and flashed an innocent smile. Harry was thinking that his scar hurting was just because Voldemort was feeling happy at the time and Sirius agreed.

"That women is evil enough to be a Death Eater," said Ron stiffly.

"Yes, she is a piece of work-you should hear the way Remus talks about her," said Sirius with a smile.

"Does Lupin know her?" asked Harry.

"No, but she did something that makes it almost impossible for him, and all werewolves, to get jobs," said Sirius.

"What does she have against them?" asked Hermione.

"Scared of them probably," said Sirius, "I guess she hates part-humans, always trying to get rid of them and cage them up," he explained.

"Then I guess we should add her to the list of people NOT to tell my secret to," said Danny dryly. "Can't imagine what she'd do to me if she found out," he said, then added after a thought. "Actually, I have some idea, but I still don't like it."

"So, what are her lessons like?" asked Sirius.

"Horrible! She doesn't let us do any magic at all!" exclaimed Hermione.

"Only reading from the book," muttered Ron.

"Figures, it was leaked to us that Fudge doesn't want you trained in combat," said Sirius.

"Trained in combat?" repeated Harry. "Does he think Dumbledore is building an army or something?"

"Exactly, thinks Dumbledore is planning to take over the Ministry," said Sirius.

After a moments pause Harry spoke up again. "What about Hagrid?" he asked.

"Ah, well he was suppose to be back by now," said Sirius. "But I'm sure Hagrid is fine," insured Sirius after seeing their concerned looks.

"But-" started Hermione.

"Madame Maxime was with him. There is nothing to say he's hurt, or perfectly okay either," Sirius argued, but the teens weren't completely convinced.

They also talked about Danny's dream with Voldemort in it, Sirius wasn't sure what it meant either. He said that he would get back to them if he came up with anything and that if Danny kept having the dream to contact the Order or tell McGonagall.

Sirius said his good byes after Hermione said he shouldn't come to their next Hogsmeade weekend. He seemed really hurt about it, but he disappeared before they could say anything else.
