When Ginny's second year came Harry and Ginny wrote to each other nearly every day. They loathed to admit it but the twins were right, they were basically an old married couple. They told each other everything with the exception of one thing, Harry's research on horcrux, Ginny knew nothing of what her best friend was doing. To be fair Harry didn't even know what he was doing, it was just Dumbledore had mentioned Horcrux and how the diary could possibly be one before backtracking his statement and Harry needed to know if this could help him defeat Voldemort. He wasn't stupid he knew that he was the one to defeat his parent's murderer. He just hoped he had the power too. So as quick as Ginny's second year it came it went, third year had a bit more drama. Sirius black had escaped Azkaban. Harry knew Sirius's story but there were far too many inconsistencies. For one what would he gain from joining Voldemort? Power, well he had that, money, he had that too and he and James were practically brothers, Peter Pettigrew on the other hand was a rat, literally. That was how Harry James Potter came to the conclusion that they must have swapped secret keepers. He smiled fondly as he remembered how he tracked the rat down, according To reports Sirius Black was trying to get in to Ron Weasleys dorm room and just what happened to be his preferred pet? A rat. A rat who had lived uncommonly long according to all three of Harry's Weasley friends. So he began to plan, he wrote to Fred and George and told them to kidnap the rat and floo over to his home where he and Amelia Bones were waiting.
The look on Peter's face when he was caught was priceless and when Amelia learnt how a mute boy whom everyone thought knew nothing of the magical world had somehow done what the ministry had failed well. She was shocked to say the least. With Harry's testimony they arrested Peter for crimes against magic, being an illegal animagus, murder and were trying to arrest him for a very slim case of child abuse. After all he had lived in disguise with children for the best part of thirteen years. Sirius had come forward and after a trip to st Mungo's was welcomed back with humble apologies and open arms. Harry was just glad that Sirius didn't judge him for his decision not to speak. If anything he loved the fact that his godson was so unique. So yeah it was safe to say that Harry was happy, he had a wonderful godfather, and an aunt who he was pretty sure had a thing for Remus and three amazing friends. Little did he know that everything he had come to trust would soon crumble. After all Voldemort wasn't the only one out to hurt the chosen one.
