The following days were peaceful. If they weren't in classes, they were flying, if they weren't flying they were snogging. Ginny decided it was the best few days this year. They'd sent a letter to Sirius about Barty Crouch's mysterious illness and quickly got one in return asking them to meet him in hogsmead.

However the peace couldn't last for long. Rita Skeeter's latest article had something to do with that.

Love Potions trauma

By Rita Skeeter

The loving relationship between one Harry Potter (age twelve) and Jenny Weasley (age eleven) is a remarkable thing to witness. However Miss Hermione Granger (Harry's best friend) has something else to say about that. I have discovered that Miss Granger is infatuated with Mr Potter to the point that she has brewed love potions to win not only Harry's affections but the affections of Rupert Weasley, Viktor Krum and Chris Diggory.

'She's so hideous that it's the only explanation that any of them would want to be seen near her' Pansy Parkinson a concerned Slytherin student commented. 'She tried to get me to take one – luckily but mate Goyle drank it by mistake' Draco Malfoy also from Slytherin.

I have come to the conclusion that Miss Granger should be expelled and to never come back to the wizardry world to give this poor wizards any more grief.

Ginny burst out laughing "so who is Rupert and Chris hey?" she said teasingly.

"Yes and just who is this twelve year old Harry dating eleven year old Jenny?" Harry said grinning

Hermione merely snarled and ripped the paper up. "That horrible lying cow" she said throwing the shreds away (which landed on Ron's porridge).

"I did warn you Hermione" Ron said "I told you last hogsmead visit that she'll come up with something"

Hermione merely glared.

It was finally the hogsmead weekend. Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione were following a large black dog to a small cave in the mountains. When they finally got into the cave the dog turned into Sirius.

"Harry!" Sirius cried out giving him a bear hug. "And Ginny my favourite redhead" enveloping Ginny into a hug. "No offence Ron. Hello Hermione" he shook Ron and Hermione's hand. "Now tell me…..is that chicken I smell?"

They sat down together having a picnic (sharing some of the food with buckbeak who was a tad upset that they didn't greet him immediately). Sirius slurped happily from the flask filled with pumpkin juice.

"Slow down Sirius, you're going to get the hiccups" Hermione scolded

Sirius ignored Hermione and burped "pardon me, right so tell me what's going on with Mr Crouch…..the bastard"

"Sirius! Mr Crouch is a ministry member you shouldn't say things like that" Hermione said

"Hermione just then I thought you were Percy" Ron snickered "he's a stuck up git, Crouch,"

"Not just stuck up. He sent me to Azkaban without trial" Sirius snarled "and he sent his own son there too"

After a long explanation of Mr Crouch's life, Bertha Jorkins and the mysterious events shrouding the Triwizard tournament it was time to go.

"Send me some more food will ya? And when you talk about me call me snuffles"

Ginny burst out laughing and Harry smirked.

"Sure thing snuffles" Harry said he was pulled into another long hug from Sirius.

"Take care of that redhead of yours. Your father would be proud" Sirius whispered.

"Bye snuffles" Ginny said winking.

"See ya red. Take care of Harry and make sure 'Mione isn't brewing anymore love potions"

"Oh ha, ha Sirius" Hermione said.
