By The Light Of The Fire
Ten minutes later Ginny emerged into the Common Room with Ron and Hermione on her tail. All three of them looked worried and couldn't wait to hear what Harry had to say. All three of them wanted to barge in on him and ask all sorts of questions, but they found that they couldn't. They would have to listen to the details first, and then jump to any conclusions they might have later on.
Ginny sat down on the couch next to Harry, while Ron and Hermione conjured up two armchairs and sat across from them. "Are you ready to tell us while we're all here now?" Said Ginny soothingly, while stroking Harry's left arm slightly, as if to comfort him.
"Yes. Please don't say anything until I've finished. You might not get it at first."
All three nodded and Harry began to tell them what happened. About the how the word "Sugarplum" or the ruffling his hair, could have triggered the Map to change drastically. What exactly happened to the Map, and what he saw afterwards. And how Voldemort's name was written on it. Harry told them of the location in the moors, and how he thinks Voldemort is hiding there. But Harry had no idea as to how the Map gave him this information. All of that, was still a mystery.
"Well," started Hermione, "The only way I can think of how the Map changed, is that someone charmed it to do that."
"But, Hermione, I'm the only one who's seen it in almost two years. No one knows the password. Well except for Fred and George, but they're in Diagon Alley and I bet they have nothing to do with this." Harry explained.
"Harry, you are forgetting four other people." Ron informed him. After he said this, a strange look came across Harry's face. "What exactly are you saying Ron?" he asked.
"I think you know exactly what I'm saying Harry. Your father, Sirius, Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew have access to the Map as well. After all, they created it."
Ginny spoke up. "But it doesn't make any sense. James and Sirius are, well, dead, and Lupin and hopefully not Pettigrew, are no where near Hogwarts grounds. But, then again, Pettigrew is under Voldemort's orders, so he might have something to do with it. I just don't get how he got to the Map, while it's been in Harry's trunk for months."
"I was thinking that too. But you know Voldemort, he has his ways." Harry replied.
"Hang on," cut in Ron, "Why would Voldemort want us to know where he is?"
The four sat in complete silence for a moment.
"It's a trap."
Everyone looked in Hermione's direction. "What else could it be?" she asked. "This is exactly what happened in our 5th and 6th years. Harry got tricked into thinking Sirius was hurt, and ran right into Voldemort's trap. Then last year, Harry went looking for the Half Blood Prince, and again Voldemort caught him. He's just up to his old tricks again."
"I don't care what he's up to. I've got a plan. I'm going there and that's final."
"No, you are not!" Ginny yelled. "Hermione is absolutely right, and you could get hurt." Tears filled her eyes as these last few words escaped her mouth.
"Gin, it's okay, there's no need for getting all upset. And I'll be fine. I always am."
"How do you know this time will be the same?" she asked through tears.
"I don't. But guys, think, if every time something like this happens, and I don't go after him, then that's one more time he wins, one more time he gets stronger, and one more time he isn't defeated."
No one had an answer for that.
