Thanks to Arwen-Evenstar-Elf, happyyellowgirl, and Lady Silverhawk for reviewing!
Lady Silverhawk Sorry that it seemed a bit choppy, but it was my first chapter, and my first time every trying something like this. But thanks for telling me, and I will try to avoid the choppiness in my future chapters!
To all of the people that have already read my last chapter that had the dance thing… I decided to take out the dance classes, and just keep the languages, you can reread it and it will make sense.
I forgot to mention in Chapter four that Hermione and Ron are the Gryffindor Prefects.
Now a little recap from last chapter…
"ugh! this is just infuriating! What did Regulus have that could have been a horcrux? Do you remember anything at all? Anything Sirius might have mentioned?" Hermione asked in a frustrated voice, looking up from a thick book.
Harry thought for awhile, "Actually, there is something, but it belonged to his dad. It was the large gold ring that had the Black crest on it. I remember Kreacher was going to steal it, but Sirius got it back, telling me whose it was."
Hermione's eyes flashed excitedly.
Harry gasped, "That can't be a horcrux can it? Ugh! It's worth a try! Let's go ask McGonagall if we can go take a little visit to Sirius' house!"
Also, this is the last chapter for awhile, more details at the end.

"Professor McGonagall!" Harry said, as he and Hermione burst into her office to see McGonagall grading papers.
"Mr. Potter? Miss Granger? Anything I can help you with?" She asked in her typical firm tone.
"Remember last year when Professor Dumbledore had those meetings with me that I couldn't tell you about?" Harry asked quickly. "He left me with very important information on how to defeat Voldemort."
"Hold on Potter." McGonagall said. She quickly put a silencing charm on her office. "Continue" She said.
"Well, I can't really explain it all right now, but its very important that I go back to Sirius' house!" Harry said flustered.
"Mr. Potter you know very well that I can not allow you to take a trip to his house in the middle of the school term. Also, it wouldn't be safe." McGonagall replied.
"Professor! We really need to! Please! This is actually more important than school! Couldn't you send some people with us? Its crucial!" Hermione said.
After McGonagall heard Hermione say that it was more important than school, she was convinced.
"Only on one condition, I will ask some of the Order to accompany you. Also, for the time that you are gone, I will make sure to get the work from your teachers, and you must be able to catch up and finish any and all the homework assigned during the time you are gone. Do you understand? Do not tell this to any one else." McGonagall replied.
"How about Ron? Can he come with us?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, I think Mr. Weasley may go with you. I will inform you as so as possible, I understand you kids wish it to be very urgent, I will try. Please be careful. Now, go back to the Gryffindor common rooms quietly please." McGonagall said, with a hint of worry in her voice, and went back to grading her papers.
Harry and Hermione McGonagall's office excitedly, and went to find Ron.
They found Ron sitting by the fire in the Common Room, gazing into the scarlet flames.
"Ron!" Harry and Hermione exclaimed at the same time. Harry motioned for her to explain, while he took a seat at one of the couches and watched.
After Hermione explained it all to Ron.
"Wow! Cool!" He said, grinning, but the grin faded as he remembered something. "But Harry, I thought Dumbledore already thought about the other Horcruxes. Remember? The diary, the ring, something from Slytherin, something from Hufflepuff, something from Gryffindor, something from Ravenclaw, and You-know-who himself."
"Oh" Harry's face fell in disappointment.
"But I could have sworn—wow." Hermione said, falling into a deep thought.
"And maybe Nagini." Harry said.
"Well we better go tell Professor McGonagall that we don't need to go to Sirius' house any more." Hermione said.
"Maybe tomorrow, right now it's too late." Harry said, disappointed that he didn't think of what Ron did.

"Mr. Potter? Miss Collier?" McGonagall called after them after Transfiguration.
"Yes Professor?" Crystal asked.
"I assume you know that next month is October. Professor Dumbledore left a note containing many things that were necessary, and other items. His main goal was unity. We will be having a Halloween ball, and you will be in charge of it." McGonagall said.
"Oh, ok." Crystal replied.
"Please turn in a draft of any notes you may have on the Halloween ball, each Friday. Thank you, that is all." McGonagall finished.
"Thank you Professor" Harry said. "Crystal, you go first, I need to talk to her."
"Ok, I'll wait for you outside." Crystal replied, and walked out the door.
"Uh, Professor, about what Hermione and I talked about the other day, we remembered that we don't need to go anymore. We were mistaken; Ron pointed something out to us. Sorry if you went to any trouble already." Harry said.
"Very well Mr. Potter. You may go then." McGonagall said with a tired voice.
Harry went outside and joined Crystal, they began discussing.
"Let's meet tonight after dinner, at 8:00 p. m. to discuss more ok? See you then!" Crystal called back and ran off to her final class of the day.
At 7:30, Harry was already done with dinner and waiting for Crystal in the Head's common room.
After a few minutes, Crystal entered as well. "So let's get started a little bit earlier then I guess." She said.
"Ok!" Harry replied.
"Well, it is obviously going to be a costume ball, so I think those not in costume shouldn't go in." Crystal said.
"Ok, That sounds good to me. For center pieces, I was thinking a pumpkin filled with candy?" Harry suggested.
"Sure." Crystal replied.
The night went on very successfully, and the pair finished all of the things needed for the ball that night.
"So since we can no longer have Hogsmeade trips, let's ask Carla's Costume Cravings and Harold's Halloween Hut to come to Hogwarts and sell costumes!" Crystal said.
"Good idea!" Harry replied.
"Ok, I'll turn this into McGonagall tomorrow, and contact Carla and Harold. Night then Harry!" Crystal said.
"Night."

IMPORTANT NOTE! So, as I was saying, this will be the last chapter for awhile. I will be continuing it later, but that is much later, because I have decided that my other Fanfic, Crazy Little Thing Called Love will be the prequel to this story. So basically, CLTCL is what happens, before Harry goes to the Dursley's house. When that Fanfic is done, I will continue with this one. Some of CLTCL will be in this Fanfic as well, but from a different point of view. However, for those that are in both stories, I'll post them at the same time. I am very sorry, but I just thought it might be better this way, because this Fanfic would be the sequel. Do you get it? Well, sorry again! However, I might update sometimes just because something may come into my head, and I want to post it. So please stay with me and read my other Fanfic Crazy Little Thing Called Love! Once again, very sorry. Thanks!
Even if I do update, it might take a bit long. (Even though my current updates are pretty long.)
Actually, I will be posting the Halloween Ball sometime. But after I finish my summer project! I am so dead for that project. Ha ha.
With all of that out of the way, please review with any ideas or suggestions you may have! The more ideas/suggestions, the faster I can update! Thanks! And sorry! again, yeah I know.
