Hello once agian. Thanks so much to my darling little reviewers! I love you all. I would've gotten this chapter out sooner but, you see, I live in Missouri. for the past week we have been expiriencing the effects of a rather horrendous ice storm. The governor had issued a state of emergency and called in the national guard. I have been, sadly, without power for a while, as have many other people. Now, I have power agian and the snow is melting, thank goodness. Last night alone the temperature was like 3 degrees. Today we had a heat wave of 37!!! Okay, enough of this, you really want to read this chapter as i'm sure.

Disclaimer: As previously stated, I live in Missouri. MISSOURI FOR MERLIN'S SAKE!! Would J.K. Rowling really live in this state?

For my recently turned one puppy who has had to pee in

this terribly cold weather. I'm surprised she managed to

cross her legs for so long because she just refused to go in

the cold. She had to stay out there for like 15 minutes

everytime cause otherwise she'd pee on the carpet.

Chapter 15: Meeting the Dead.

Harry turned around after he watched Ginny run away AGIAN only to find his friends staring at him with mixed expressions. Ron looked torn between anger for Harry hurting his sister and pity foor Harry being a know-nothing like himself. Neville seemed deeply disturbed by what Harry had said about Ginny. Luna was simply looking sad, possibly because Ginny and Harry had fought at all. However, it was Hermione whose expression really worried Harry. There was nothing there! Hermione seemed to have blocked her emotions from showing and resolved to just stare at the boy.

"We'd better go back to the dormitory. We need to get some rest. Tomarrow we have to discuss our plan of attack. All that's left is the snake, and we won't be able to get to that without the risk of facing Voldemort." She said. She turned and began walking back with the others.

Harry began to follow, but got distracted. He glanced out of the window as he walked past and ended up looking out of it. The window peered out of the Forbidden Forest where Harry thought he could see a light.

"Come on Harry." Luna was tugging at his sleeve.

"What? Oh yeah, right." When Harry looked back out of the window, the light was gone. He turned and followed Luna back to the common room.

Harry woke the next morning to find a package on his bed. Hedwig stood beside it, the box of owl treats at her feet. Looking over, Harry noticed Ron had a package as well.

Harry gave Hedwig a treat and then preceeded to tear the paper from the package. A letter he found stated it was from Mrs. Weasley. Hedwig had flown over last night and brought the gifts this morning. Inside the package were various snacks and products from Weasley Wizard Weezes. Harry made a mental note to raid the twins' store before the Big War.

All of a sudden, Pig swooped into the window. The tiny owl glared at Hedwig before dropping the package it was carrying on Neville. Harry woke the two boys and together they proceeded to the common room. Once there, they hooked up with the girls.

"Who's hungry?" Neville asked. He, Ron, and Harry all were. Luna and Hermione exchanged looks that clearly stated "Boys!".

Hermione tapped a coin with her wand and almost instantly, a table at the far end of the room was piled high with plates of food.

After they had all ate their fill, they turned to leave the common room in search of McGonagall. Their first step, they all agreed, was the Headmistress's office.

"Ah, Mister Potter and the crew, how lovley to see you." Dumbledore's portrait said as soon as they stepped into the office.

"Professor." Hermione nodded. "Do you happen to know where Professor McGonagall is?"

Minerva had to run an errand. She will be returning in a few hours." Dumble dore smile and turned back to Harry. "Mr.Potter, I have a surprise for you."

Harry pointed at himself. "A surprise sir?"

"Yes. Harry, do you see that tapestry? Good. Would you please step behind it and walk straight into the wall?"

Harry and the others looked at Dumbledore quizically. Harry, nonetheless, did as he was told. He was surprised that he did not collide with the wall.

Dumbledore turned to the others. "If you will excuse me." And with that, he walked out of his portrait.

Lily and James watched as a dark and messy haired boy walked into the room. Lily grabbed James's hand and gasped. "No, it couldn't be!"

Harry gazed around the room before his eyed set on Dumbledore. "Sir?"

"Harry, meet your parents." Dumbledore gestured to the picture behind Harry.

Harry turned and felt his eyes tear up. He could see his parents in a protrait. His parents. The Lily and James Potter.

"Hello Harry." Lily wispered, the tears running down her cheeks. "Hello darling."

Thanks a bunch to my reviewers from the last chapter. I send you all goast cookies and goast cake!!!

Shannonn14: I loves you! You are so wonderful and you review ALL the time! You darling are what make writers write! Harry's not really trying to be mean, he's really just trying to protect Ginny. You know, that whole noble person thing. What can we really do, he's a boy. sigh

Chatterbox: I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the compliment.

Nihilus1: Well arn't we clever. You'll just have to wait and see won't you:D

Leialover1: Lol. Thank you. You'll find out what... that person is doing with Ginny in... chapter 17 i believe it is. It shan't be that long a wait, I hope ;)!!

Derbyrox: Thanks a bunch for the constructive critism. I'll try and work on that from now on. I know the story's going a little fast and i'm working on that. This is my first fan fic so i was expecting it to. Thanks agian!

Anna: Thanks a bunch. Ginny doesn't really know more then Harry though. She knows nothing about the prophecy and she doesn't really have complete knowledge of the Horcruxes. She does know she wants to stop them though. I guess I really should make that kind of stuff a little more noticable in the story though huh? But don't worry, It'll all come together in a few chapters.

Thanks to you reveiwers! Anyways, i'm not too overly excited about this chapter. Didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but it goes on the path of the story and I sapose I need it in there. Alright, if you haven't already checked it out, i'm writing a humorous story about Lord Voldemort. It's called 'Voldie has Great Hair' if you wanna check it out. So, until next time, lots of love!!

Sarcastic.
