Thank you to everyone that actually REVIEWED last chapter (which was a total of about 4 people) as for the people that didn't...well, lets just say I'm not too happy with you at the moment :P

I would apologize for the lateness of this chapter, but its your own fault if you didn't review. I had writer's block for a while, and the lack of reviews wasn't helping.

Anyway, this will probably be the last chapter before Harry Potter come out! I'm seeing it at midnight, and I'm SOOOOOO excited-but sad. Harry Potter has been my life for 8 years, and I'm so sad to see it end. But I know the magic will live on forever. I cried so hard when J.K. Rowling said: "Whether by book or by film, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home." I mean, I'm tearing up now just writing it. :(

This chapter is dedicated to the few people that reviewed last chapter, and J.K. Rowling, my hero, my inspiration and the person I owe my childhood and most of my happy memories to. I x3 you so much JKR! Thank you!

Also, check out my other story, House of Liars(Which you don't have to know about Pretty Little Liars to read, just the plot will be loosely based off it) and my onshot, Haunted.

Well, I am extremely tired so I better post this before I pass out. REVIEW!

Chapter 18: House of Sibuna
Hermione's POV

I tossed and turned in my bed, trying to fall asleep. Classes started up again tomorrow, and I needed to be well rested. But I had way too much on my mind for sleep.

Finally, I decided that sleep was hopeless, so I grabbed a book and went downstairs to the common room to read.

When I reached the bottom of the steps, I realized that someone was already in there.

Ron. He was sitting in his usual chair, staring into the fire. He must've been really deep in thought because he didn't even notice I was there until I sat down in the chair opposite him.

"Hey." he said, glancing up at me.

"Hi."

"What are you doing up?" He asked.

"I couldn't sleep." I replied. "Too much on my mind."

"Like what?" he asked curiously.

I squirmed uncomfortably in my chair. He was what was on my mind. Why hadn't he brought up what happened at the Yule Ball? Was it because he regretted it?

"Forget it." I said. "Look, can we talk about the giant elephant in the room?

"Elephant? What?" He asked confusedly.

I shook my head. "Never mind, weird muggle saying. I mean, we need to talk about something."

"What?"

I looked at him in disbelief. How could he not know what I wanted to talk about?

"The Yule Ball." I replied.

"Oh..." he said, looking uncomfortable. "Well...what's there to talk about?"

I groaned. Typical. "Do you really not know? Or are you just that stupid?" I snapped. He was really ticking me off. What did he mean, 'what's there to talk about?' What ISN'T there to talk about?

"Well excuse me!" Ron said angrily. "Not everyone can be as smart as Miss Hermione I-know-it-all Granger!"

I glared at him. "Don't call me that!"

"Then don't call me stupid!"

"I wasn't calling you stupid, stupid, I was asking if you were stupid, which you just confimed!" I replied angrily.

"See? You ARE a know-it-all!"

"Shut up!"

"Well I thought you wanted to talk?"

"Not anymore!" I said. I stormed back up into my dormitory and flopped into my bed.

Yeah, like I got any sleep after THAT.

Nina's POV

After an "official" Sibuna meeting with Patricia, we "officially" decided to include Harry and Nina in the club. It was my job to tell Harry, and, Fabian's job to tell Hermione. He had even volunteered to tell her. Why did he want to be the one to tell her so badly?

Anyway, I was looking around for Harry after classes when I felt someone accidentally slam into me. I whirled around and saw it was Harry. Just the person I was looking for.

"I need to talk to you." we said at the same time, then laughed.

"Me first." We both said again.

"I bet mine's more important." said Harry.

"I seriously doubt that..." I said. "But, go ahead."

"Okay, so you know how you can't remember the ball at all?" He asked.

"How could I forget?" I joked.

"Well, did Fabian ever tell you what happened at the ball?"

"...I got kidnapped?"

He shook his head. "No, I mean before that. Like, did he tell you what you guys did?"

I frowned. "He said we danced. And that we had fun. But nothing else. Why?"

Harry glanced around, as if to make sure no one was listening. "Well...he'd kill me if I told you this, but..." he hesitated. "You know what, I probably shouldn't."

"Noo, tell me!" I begged. What was he going on about?

He grinned evilly. "Nah. I don't think I will..."

"Why not? Pleeaasee tell me!" I pleaded. Then I gasped. "Wait a second...you set me up! Nothing important really did happen! And if it did, you weren't going to tell me anyway because you just wanted to make me squirm!"

Harry shrugged. "Maybe I did...And maybe I didn't. Or, maybe I wanted you to ask Fabian if he forgot to mention anything. Anything important. Anything that he's really bummed out that you don't remember. Anything Amber would freak out about if she knew. Anything-"

"Okay, okay, I'll ask him!" I interupted. "Unless you'll tell me?"

"No." he said flatly. "Ask Fabian. But don't tell him I told you to ask, he'd murder me... So what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Oh...right!" I had momentarily forgotten about Sibuna. I took a deep breath and launched into an explanation about it, and asked him if he wanted to join.

"Cool." he said. "I'll join."

"Great. Your initiation is tomorrow evening, after dinner."

"Initiation?"

I laughed. "Don't worry, its not bad. Just meet us in the entrance hall after dinner."

I hurried over to the other side of the common room where Fabian was sitting.

"Harry agreed," I said, sitting down next to him. "How about Hermione?"

"She did too." said Fabian. "Now we just need to find something for them to sacrifice."

"Well, Hermione will be easy...I could just grab a random book and she'd be like 'Noooo, please! anything but that!'" I grinned.

Fabian laughed. "Yeah...Harry, however, will be more tricky..." he glanced over at Harry, who was in the middle of a game of exploding snap with Ron. "It can't be anything too important, like his cloak...but it has to be something important enough."

"Well, we'll figure something out." I said. I looked at Fabian. "So...is there anything that you haven't told me about the ball?"

Fabian went pale. "Errr...nope." he said, not meeting my eye. "Why? What have you heard?"

"Oh, nothing." I said casually. "Just curious." Okay, now I really am curious...what happened that Fabian's not telling me about? Was it bad? Did we fight? Or maybe it was good, but he just didn't want to tell me about it? I snuck a sideways glance at him. I really wished I could remember the ball...

The following evening, after dinner, Fabian, Amber, Patricia and I met up with Harry and Hermione in the netrance hall after dinner.

"Ready?" I asked them. They nodded. "Okay then, let's go!"

Fabian and I led them to a spot we had picked the previous day. It was a clearing on the edge of the forest that you couldn't see from the castle, and way too far away from Hagrid's Hut to be spotted. In the center of the clearing was a large cauldron, courtesy of the House-Elves in charge of cleaning out the dungeons.

I walked up to the edge of the cauldron with my wand out, and whispered an incantation. Flames spouted up from the edge of the cauldron.

"Okay," I said as we stood around the cauldron in a circle. "To be in Sibuna, you have to sacrifice something, and say an oath."

"Sacrifice what exactly?" Hermione asked. I nodded at Fabian, and he reached in his bag and pulled out a book and a photograph. He handed to book to Hermione, and the photograph to Harry.

"What? But this is my signed copy of Hogwarts, A History!" Hermione sounded distraught. "I can't sacrifice this!"

"It has to be something important." said Amber. "Just ask Fabian."

Fabian grimanced at the memory. "I still can't believe you made me burn that. My signed copy of The Solar System Is Your Friend. I waited in line for five hours to get that signed." he grumbled.

"I can't sacrifice this." Harry said, holding up his photograph.

"What is it?" I asked. He walked over to me, and held it out.

I looked down at it and gasped. "Is that...?"

He nodded. "Yeah."

It was a picture of his-my-our parents. They had their arms around each other and were laughing. I felt tears well up in my eyes.

"Fabian." I said, and waved my hand for him to come over.

"Yeah?" he whispered.

"This picture...its of my parents." I whispered. "The first one I've ever seen."

"Then Harry doesn't have to sacrifice it." he said. Harry and I looked at him greatfully. "It's too important. When I chose it, I didn't realize..."

"Why not?" Amber demanded.

Fabian, Harry and I glanced at each other. We were going to have to tell them about Harry and I being siblings at some point, but I didn't think now was the time.

"Err...because it's of Harry's parents, and...it's too important." said Fabian.

"Well then what is he going to sacrifice?" Patricia asked.

I looked Harry up and down. "How about his Griffindor scarf?" I suggested. "Being in Griffindor is important to you, right?"

He nodded. "Yeah, okay."

I grinned. "Alright everyone, back to your places!"

Everyone went back to standing in a circle. "Harry, Hermione, drop your sacrifices in the fire." Amber instructed.

After a moment of hestitation, Hermione stepped forward. "I'm sorry!" she whispered to the book. Then, sheilding her eyes with her empty hand, Hermione dropped the book into the fire, letting out a little whimper as she did so. She stepped back into her spot with a pained expression on her face. Harry snickered a little bit and Hermione scowled at him.

"Harry, your turn!" said Amber. Harry stepped forward and dropped his scarf into the fire.

"Okay, repeat after me: I, Harry Potter, being of sound mind-"

"I, Harry Potter, being of sound mind-"

"Promise to protect the secrets of..." I glanced at Fabian.

He shrugged. "Anubis house and Hogwarts?"

I nodded. "Okay. Sorry Harry-Let's start over. I, Harry Potter, being of sound mind, promise to protect the secrets of Anubis House and Hogwarts school, and stand by my fellow club members: Fabian Rutter, Amber Millington, Patricia Williamson, Hermione Granger, and Nina Martin."

He repeated what I said, and Hermione did the same.

"These are our sacred vows." I said. "Let no man-or woman-tear the assunder."

Fabian lifted his right hand up to his eye. "Sibuna."

"Sibuna." repeated Hermione, mimicking the motion.

"Sibuna!" said Amber excitedly.

I looked around at them and smiled. "Sibuna."

Okay, if I get at least 7 reviews, I'll update next week. If not, well, I'll make you wait even longer than last time. PLEASE REVIEW!
