Ravenclaws House I

" Professor! Professor, wait up!" Harry called. Dumbledore turned around, and stopped. Harry caught up to him, and said, " Sir, were you serious? You mean to go to the Forest?" he asked him, looking up at him. Dumbledore looked surprised. " Yes Harry, don't you? The only way to get the horcrux is to go to forest, and we need that horcrux gone! Don't you agree?". Harry hesitated, then replied, " Well, it's just..never mind. Yes I do mean to go.". Dumbledore nodded, and said, " Alright then, let's go back to headquarters, and we can decided what to do there.". Harry nodded, and looked back around at everyone else. They sighed, and nodded reluctantly.

They all sat around the kitchen table, snacking on the crackers Hermione had gotten out.

" I fink dat e would o and practice spells or de rest." Ron said with his mouth full. Everyone looked at him, and rolled their eyes. He swallowed, and repeated, " I think we should go and practice spells, so we have some more good ones for the forest. If we have to go, that is.". Harry nodded, and agreed, " Yes, Professor, maybe you could help us? You know more spells that we do.". Dumbledore smiled broadly, and nodded his consent.

" Diffindo!" Ron said, and the pillow he was pointing his wand at, ripped in half, making feathers fly everywhere. " Good job, Ron." Hermione said. They had been practicing for the last two hours, and Harry could tell they were getting rather bored of it. The spells they had been doing were all charms they had done before. " Alright then, let's take a brake for the day." he said, and everyone nodded their agreement. Ron and Hermione went off for a walk, Dumbledore went to his room, but Harry and Ginny stayed in the room. Ginny smiled at him, and sat next to him on the cushions.

" So, Mr. Potter, how have you been?" she said teasingly. " Well, I've been...a little busy, really. I haven't seen my girl-friend in forever." he replied, with a smile. Ginny looked shocked, " I thought was right there, the whole time.".

" Yes, but I haven't spent much time with you, Gin.." Harry replied, a little more seriously. " Hey, I have an idea, why don't we go out. Like...on a date.". Ginny looked at him, surprised. " Harry, we have to go to the forest. We don't really have time to go out." she sighed. Harry groaned. " Well, why don't we go as soon as we get back from the forest, and get the horcrux.".

" Yes, right after we destroy another part of Voldomorts soul, we can go to out!' Ginny replied, with a teasing look on her face, but concern still in her eyes. Harry pulled her close, and gave her a hug.

Three days later, they were ready to leave for the forest. They all where very nervous as they ate, and got their wands. Everyone gathered in the entry way, and looked at each other. " Ready then?" Dumbledore said cheerfully. Harry nodded. " All at the same time then?" Harry asked.

" Yes, let's go. On the count of three. One...two...three!" and Dumbledore was gone. Harry followed quickly.

When Harry opened his eyes, he saw he was right outside a large, dark, forest. Dumbledore was already there, waiting for them. Ginny, Hermione, and Ron all got there, about ten seconds after Harry did. Hermione looked at the forest worriedly, and Ron was trying to look tough.

Ginny was standing next to them looking at forest, almost seeming as if she was sizing it up.

" Should we head on in, then?" Dumbledore asked.

" Ready as I'll ever be." Harry replied.

They headed into the forest, slowly. As soon as they stepped in, it went immediately dark.

" Lumos" Harry said quietly, and a light came from the tip of his wand. Everyone else did the same, so it wasn't so dark.

The forest was creepy, every time there was a noise, Ginny, who's hand Harry was holding, jumped. Harry squeezed her hand, and smiled at her.

They were walking, following Dumbledore. " Sir, where are we going?" Hermione asked him after a while.

" I'm following the path, my dear."

Harry looked down, and was surprised to see a line of stones, going into the distance.

All of a sudden, a large man jumped out of the trees. Immediately, everyone pointed their wands at him.

" No stick." the man grunted. Harry looked at his friends, and they all were staring at the man also.

" What do you want?" he asked him. " And we don't have sticks, we have wands."

" No stick. Just shoe." the man replied. Just then, a second man jumped from the tree, but this one looked different, more neat.

" Oh, please excuse my brother. He is a little..." the man seemed to be struggling for a word.

" stupid. He's stupid. Anyway's, what he means is, you have to race him, in order to get past. If he wins, we get to kill you. If you win, we let you past without any more trouble. If you turn around, we'll leave alone, but you'll probably run into something else."

Everyone stared at the man, with shock. Everyone but Dumbledore, that is.

" Well, who is the fastest of us then. Certainly not me. Which of you?"

They four looked at each other, then at Dumbledore.

" Harry." Ginny said after a minute.

" Gin I-" Harry began, but she cut him off.

" Harry, you know your the fastest, so stop it."

Harry glared at her, then nodded slowly.

" Alright, I'll do it." he said.

" Alright then, the race will start as soon as you're ready. You'll start here at this tree stump, and finish at the large stone house. You'll find it, don't worry." the brother said.

Harry sighed, and nodded. " I don't what they were talking about, I haven't seen any really bad creatures, these two don't even count. If I lose, all I have to do is tie them up, and we're on our way." Harry thought to himself.

" Alright, I'm ready," then looking sideways at the gruff man, " if you are, that is."

" Okay then, lets start then." the other brother said.

" Get ready...get set...go!"

Harry took off, and was running as fast as he could, trying to get to the house, that he couldn't see.

He was running, and his blood was pumping. All of a sudden, he stopped dead in his tracks.

He had just come up to a hill, and over it, he saw about five giants, just sitting there.

" I'm such an idiot!" he said to himself. " Of course it couldn't be that easy, just follow the stones, no!"

He looked down, and saw that the stupid man was running to a opening, in a tree. He didn't come back out, so Harry guessed that it was a secret passage.

He ran down the hill, quietly avoiding the giants. As he got nearer to them, he realized they were sleeping. He ran as quickly, and as quietly as possible, past them. As he got nearer to the tree the man had gone into, he started to slow down a bit.

When he reached the tree, he stopped completely. Harry looked inside it, and saw nothing. He stepped inside it, and still see anything.

He decided that he must have seen wrong, so he started to step out, but realized he couldn't.

Just as he started to pull out his wand, a saw something on the ground, and redhead to grab it.

As soon as he picked it up, he felt the familiar feeling of a portkey.

As soon as he landed, he looked at the thing in his hand, and saw that it was a bright red bracelet. He pocketed it, and looked around. It was another part of the forest, the stones were on the ground, going around a few trees.

Harry started running again, and after a few minutes, saw a small house, in the middle of a clump of trees.

Harry sighed, and pulled out his wand, knowing that he had lost. He ran up to the house, and looked around. He didn't see the man, or his brother. His scar was tinigling, but he ignored it.

" Strange." he muttered.

" Hello Mr. Potter." a cold, high pitched voice said.

Harry whirled around, and saw Voldomort, standing beside the two brothers, who where starting to turn back into themselves.

A/N I re-did the last part on this, and I'm still re-doing the other one. Thanks for reading everyone!
