Read on and find out:) Oh my god just saw Jack and Martha's wedding in home and away……sooooo sad! Poor Peter! Okay sorry Ill shut up! Lol! Talk 2 ya later:) :)

The next day at around noon Harry was in the common room catching up on some homework with Ron and Hermione when there was a tapping at the window. All three jumped a little with the fright before Harry got up and found a small grey owl standing on the sill with a letter clasped in his beak. He indicated for the owl to follow him up to the dormitory in order to let him in. Harry pulled down on the handle and opened the window back as the little bird hopped in and dropped the letter on the floor. Harry looked at it perplexed before bending down to attain the letter and read it. As Harry stood up the bird was gone. After a few seconds glance around the room, Harry closed the window and hurried downstairs to his friends.

"What was all that about?" Ron asked as Harry ran down the steps to the common room.

"That was the weirdest thing that I ever experienced here guys. Firstly no bird would come knocking on window that you can't open….or least not in my experience and secondly…..they always wait for a reply."

"What……and this bird didn't?" Hermione asked as Harry resumed his seat next to her at the table.

"No…..he dropped it on the floor…..it was like he had never been trained or something…."

"Come on then who is the letter from Harry?" Fred asked as he and George rushed over upon hearing the conversation. Harry looked up and smiled a little before unsealing it. He took it out of the envelope and read……

"Dear Harry,

I haven't seen you around much lately so I hope that that is not a bad thing. It would be nice to catch up with you so why don't you come over to my place at around 7:00 and we can have a chat. Looking forward to seeing you then.

Hagrid."

"Hagrid!" They all said in dismay.

"What would Hagrid want with you Harry?" Fred asked puzzled.

"I don't know Fred. I mean he always asks for Ron, Hermione and I…..never just me…."

"Ya that's what I mean mate. It's all a bit odd really isn't it?"

"Harry are you actually going to go? I mean…..it could be a trap!"

"A trap? Oh leave it out Hermione……"

"Excuse me George but your twin just said two seconds ago that it seemed odd!"

"Ah I was just having a laugh Hermione……"

"Even so…..this is not like Hagrid…."

"Well……I expect its something he wants to ask me or tell me in private…"

"Are you serious? You are actually going to go? Harry……"

"Hermione what could possibly go wrong?"

"That's just it Harry. We don't know. Just be careful mate."

"Oh not you aswell Ron! Stop worrying you guys. Ill be fine."

At 6:45 Harry and his three friends were walking down the main corridor after dinner. Harry was on his way to see Hagrid whilst Ron, Rob and Hermione were trying to convince him that there is safety in numbers.

"Would ye just stop it? I am not taking ye with me. If Hagrid wanted all of us to go he would have said…."

"That's just it Harry! How do we know he just didn't forget to mention us? Or more to the point as Hermione suggested…..how do we know it really is Hagrid beckoning you out of the castle this time of night?"

"Beckoning me out? Ron he wants to talk to me okay? Why can't you just let it go!"

"Because it doesn't feel right Harry…..something just doesn't make sense…." Hermione said anxiously as they all suddenly stopped walking. Harry who was in front turned around and said assuringly to her…

"Hermione I appreciate your concern. I do….but there is nothing sinister going on here. Now just go back to the common room or something. Ill be back soon. Don't worry Ill be fine." He smiled a little at them before exiting the castle. His three friends stared after him uncertain that they made the right choice in staying behind.

"This doesn't feel right….." Hermione breathed as she continued to stare after him.

"So what can we do Hermione? You know how obstinate Harry is. He won't let us go with him…."

"Ya I know Ron….okay Rob I need you to do me a favour….."

"You want me to go after him don't you?" He asked with a small smirk.

"No. I need you to run up to the common room and get Harry's letter. Then take it to Remus and see what he thinks. Make him aware of our anxieties okay? If I know Remus and I think I do he will want Dumbledore as well as James and Sirius aware of the present circumstances."

"Oh right so I get to do all this running while you and Ron just stand here admiring the view?"

"No of course not! Ron and I are going to Hagrids…."

"We are?" Ron asked in dismay.

"Yes we are now come on. Time is of the essence. Rob are you sure that you know what to do?" Hermione asked authoritivly before she and Ron left.

"Yes of course now go will ya?"

"Alright…..see you later."

Meanwhile back at home Arielle had decided to take the law into her own hands. She and Ryan were in the sitting room as she revealed everything she over heard the adults discussing last night.

"You were eves dropping? Oh Arielle I am ashamed of you!" Ryan said shaking his head. She looked at him perplexed with a slight smile as she asked……

"Why……"

"After everything you said to me about how ignorant it was to listen to other peoples conversations…"

She stood up in front of him and reprimanded him in an anxious tone.

"Ryan this concerns my brother okay? There is some fruit and nut job out there with a strong desire to kill him! And nobody seems to understand the significance of his awareness of the situation. So I have to…."

"Airs you aren't a witch yet. You could get seriously hurt you know? Why don't ya say to your parents first?"

"You really are more cracked than people give you credit for Ryan! Hello, what have I just said? They don't want him to know! Therefore it's my sibling duty to protect him…."

"Or scare him half to death….." She stared at him maliciously with her hands on her hips.

"Why am I even telling you this? You clearly don't get the importance of it…."

"No Airs I do…..I am sorry but I just don't want you to get hurt….."

"Ryan how am I going to get hurt? I am just going to go the common room and tell him. Ill be home before they miss me but still just in case something happens…..I need you to cover for me."

"Airs……" She bent down in front of him resting her hands on his knees as she implored him to help her.

"Ryan please…..I need to do this cant you understand that? He's my big brother. He is the only I have….the only one I want. I don't think I am asking for much okay? If anyone asks where I am just say that I am in my room. Please Ryan please….." He sat there with one elbow supporting his head for a few seconds. He stared into her teary chocolate brown eyes as he finally said……

"Go on then Airs….but only coz its family!" She smiled broadly at him before standing and kissing him on the cheek and saying……

"Thank you Ryan. You are the best!"

"Ya……and don't you forget it. So do you know what you are doing?"

"Yes of course I do! I am a Potter after all Ryan. Besides I have seen mom and dad to this loads of times…." She caught some floo powder in the container resting from the mantelpiece. She turned back to Ryan and said…..

"Are you going to wish me luck?" He nodded and smiled sadly before saying…..

"Good luck Airs…." She reciprocated it as she stepped into the fireplace.

"Thank you Ryan. Gryffindor common room!" she shouted throwing down the powder and vanished.

Arielle landed in the middle of the common room where students who were studying or doing their homework looked up and started whispering. Fred, George and Ginny saw her and instantly ran over to her. She stood up and smiled at them as they returned it with look of puzzlement.

"Airs what are you doing here?" Ginny asked quietly.

"Is Harry here?" she asked urgently.

"So you couldn't of written to him you had to visit him? That's touching Ariel….."

"George this is not funny okay? It's important that I talk to Harry now where is he?"

"He's not here….he went to see Hagrid….."

"He went to see Hagrid? Oh man this is bad……" She ran out of the common room with Ginny and the twins anxiously in tow.

"Ryan where is Arielle?" Lily asked as she came into the sitting room.

"Ughhhhh…..she's up in her room Lily why?"

"No she isn't Ryan. I heard the floo portal being activated so where did she go?" Ryan stared at the floor as Lily sat down next to him and gently said….

"Ryan its okay sweetheart. I won't give out to you but I need to know where she is."

After a few seconds deliberation Ryan finally consented the information…..

"Okay…..now you have to realise that I did try and stop her but you know Arielle she is so head strong at times……."

"Ryan where is Arielle?" She asked anxiously.

"She went to Hogwarts….."

"HOGWARTS?" Lily exclaimed jumping up.

"She went to tell Harry that Peter was on the lose…."

"Oh my god……JAMES! JAMES GET SIRIUS JAMES!"

"Lily what? What is it?" He asked as she ran out to the kitchen.

"Arielle has gone to warn Harry about Peter…..James you have to get Sirius and get over there James…..I cant…..I don't want anything to happen to my little girl James….."

"Shhhh Lils its okay? Ill get Sirius and well go but you have to stay calm okay? Here……" He removed his mirror from his pocket and placed it on the kitchen table.

"Here alright use this is so we can be in constant contact. Don't worry Lils….we will find her…."

"So you didn't ask me to come and see you then?" Harry asked as he drank some more tea inside Hagrids cabin.

"No arry I didn't. Bedsides I would have invited Ron, Rob and Hermione too…."

"Ya that's what they said….."Harry replied pensively as he stared at the ground.

"Still though….twas nice ter see ya all the same arry!" He said smiling. Harry returned it slightly as he said…..Ya…." Hagrid looked at him anxiously as he asked….

"Are you alright arry? You don't seem yourself……"

"Oh no I am great thanks Hagrid." He replied in a mock cheery tone with a smile.

"I spect tis something that's going coz I ran into Sirius last night and he didn't seem himself either…."

"You ran into Sirius last night?"

"Aye that I did Harry. I was coming out of the broomsticks and it looked as though he was going in but….to me he didn't look like someone who knew whether they were coming or going…."

"How do you mean Hagrid?" Harry asked intrigued.

"Well….he just seemed a little on edge…..as though something was bothering him…..or even frightened him…."

"It would take a lot to scare Sirius….." Harry said half laughing as Hagrid smirked.

"Ya that's true Harry…..Do you want some more tea?"

"No thanks Hagrid. I better be going anyway. Hermione and the others will be worried."

"Alrigh Harry. Ill see ya round mate." Hagrid said as they stood up and smiled.

"Ya…..thanks Hagrid. See ya….."

"See ya arry…."

Harry began walking back up to the castle. As he walked past Hagrids pumpkin patch he got the fright of his life when Hermione and Ron jumped up.

"Harry there you are. Thank god…."

"Ya we thought that you were gone….Ron exclaimed.

"What are you two doing here? Well apart from giving me a heart attack that is…."

"It was Hermione's idea mate. She didn't believe that Hagrid wrote you that letter."

"Well you were right Hermione. He didn't….."

"What….." She exclaimed in shock.

"You are kidding!" Ron breathed aghast.

"Well then who did?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know…..oh wait hang on a minute….."He felt his mirror vibrating in his pocket. As he took it out he saw his mothers reflection in it.

"Mom……since when do you use this?" He asked amusingly.

"Harry this is not funny now listen to me please. Have you seen Arielle?"

"Arielle…..no why would I have I seen her?"

"Because she flooed to Hogwarts to talk to you…..your father and Sirius have just gone so contact them to see where they are. Where are you by the way?"

"Down in Hagrids but we are going back to the castle now…."

"Which way are you going? Don't tell me that you are going to pass by the whomping willow!"

"Well….."

"Harry whatever you do DO NOT pass by that tree…."

"Why mom what's going on?"

"I have to go Harry but please do as I ask and for the love of god contact Sirius and your father….."

"Mom…….mom…….mom….She's gone….."

"What was all that about?" Ron asked.

"I don't know. Something weird is going on you guys. First I get a letter from Hagrid but it transpires to not be from him, then Arielle floos here to talk to me and now mom warns me not to pass the whomping willow by….."

"Hey isn't that Arielle?" Hermione asks pointing to four figures approaching them.

"Ya……" They run up to them as Arielle runs to her brother.

"Oh my god thank god you are safe Harry!" She exclaims throwing herself into him. He embraces her as he looks at the others confused.

"I don't know she wouldn't tell us mate….." Fred stated.

"She said something about having to warn you…." George replied.

"Arielle what is going on? I just had mom on to me there warning me not to pass by the whomping willow……"

"Oh Harry she is right! We can't…..its Peter…..Peter Pettigrew. He's alive Harry! He's alive……he injured Sirius last night….blew him half way across Hogsmeade. Thankfully he's okay now though…."

It took them all a few seconds to register who he was and why its such a shock that he is alive.

"Okay well come on Airs we need to get you home…."

"Harry he could seriously hurt you! Don't you get it?"

"Ya of course but……you are not a witch Arielle and its more fruitful to get you to dad and Sirius…"

"Are they here?" She asked perking up.

"Yes they are here! They came to get you….."

"Well contact them…..tell them where we are…..tell them we know….."

"Airs….."

"Please Harry……I don't want to pass by the shrieking shack…..he's staying there…..please…." She asked with a fresh batch of tears streaming down her face.

"Aww hey come here……"

"Harry would you just do it please?" Hermione ordered. Harry stared at her and removed his mirror.

"Sirius…..Sirius……Sirius are you there?" He called fretfully.

"Harry what the bloody hell is going on mate? Where is Arielle?"

"She's down here with us….."

"Down where? And who are you with?"

"I was down in Hagrids but now I'm half way up the hill of the whomping willow…..Ron, Fred, George, Ginny and Hermione are with us….."

"Well what about Rob?"

"I don't know he wasn't with them….." Hermione took the mirror of him as she said…..

"Sirius….Rob went to get Remus…..but that was half an hour ago….."

"Oh man this is such a state…..Im here with Albus and James, Minerva and Snape…..we are waiting for Fudge to get here……" Harry grabbed the mirror and asked…..

"Sirius is it true that Wormtail attacked you last night?"

"Yes but how did you know?"

"Arielle told me….."

Arielle……but how did she know….."

"Harry go back down to Hagrid and tell him the situation. Its not safe for all of ye to be out. Peter is dangerous okay? He has a wand son….."

"But dad…..there's safety in numbers and I am not afraid….."

"Harry listen to me mate! Pettigrew is not to be messed with. Now please do as I told you. This is no time to asserting your courage. If he got to Arielle….."

"I wouldn't let that happen….."

"Harry please! This is serious. Go back to Hagrids and wait for us to come and get you. Its already dark. You shouldn't be out. Go on get going. Ill talk to you later."

"But dad……he's gone….."

"So now what?" Ron asked.

"Well I guess we have to go back to Hagrids……you heard what dad said….."

"But Harry mate you were right in what you said. There are safety in numbers…."

"Yes but Fred…..dad is right. Arielle wouldn't stand a chance if he caught her. She has to be my main concern at the moment……"

"My my but doesn't this look like a cosy party. Do you mind if I join you?"

They all stood in shock as a voice unfamiliar to them spoke from behind. They slowly turned around to find a small, chubby little balding man wearing a worn looking suit. He had a devious grin spread across his grotesque face.

"You are Peter Pettigrew aren't you?" Harry asked nervously.

"And you are Harry Potter….I know you are because you the spitting image of your father…..been a long time since I have seen him Harry. How is he doing?" He asked walking around the semi circle they had formed so that he was standing closer to the willow.

"What do you care? You ratted him out to Voldemort! You are nothing more than a dirty, conniving blood sucking traitor!" Peter's face turned sour as he shouted….

EXPELLIARMUS!" Harry went flying towards the bottom of the hill; at the edge of the pumpkin patch.

"HARRY!" Hermione and Ron shouted as they ran after him. Peter laughed heartedly.

"Three down…..three to go….." Arielle hid behind Fred as Peter grinned.

"So…..twins…..I know just the spell for you…..tangulta…"

Fred and George fell to the ground with ropes tied around their bodies. He laughed again before saying….

"I don't believe in hurting women the same way as men so Ill go easy on you….."

"Like to see ya try you filthy rodent!" Ginny seethed.

"Oohh haven't you got a right nasty tongue on you for a lady. Never mind I have just the spell for you…."

"You leave Ginny alone!" Fred and George shouted.

"And what are twiddle Dumb and twiddle Dee going to do about it? Hmmmmm Silencio!" He smiled happily as he turned to Arielle and said…..

"Now if I were you Id come with me quietly my dear…."

"You touch me and Ill kill you!"

"I would like to see you try though I have to admit that I admire your veracity. No no come come now…." He shoved his wand back into his pocket as he caught her by the wrist.

"NOOOO! HARRY!" She kicked him hard in the shin. He grimaced in pain as she shouted and tried to get away.

HARRY! HELP HARRY! AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Peter caught her again and slung her over his shoulder. Ginny tried to help her but Peter just pushed her and she banged her head off a rock.

"Arielle! Come on George we have to try…..ARIELLE!"

"Put me down now you creep! HARRY! REMUS! REMUS HELP ME!" She screamed as Peter lowered her into the whomping willow. Remus saw her and gasped at the sight. He was about to go after her when Rob pointed out the others to him.

"Oh my god…..Fred, George…..Ginny? Ginny are you alright? Ginny?"

"She cant talk Remus…..Pettigrew put a silence charm on her….."Fred said despondently.

"Oh god okay…..Rob go find the others. Where are they?" He asked the twins.

"Harry put up a good fight. He was the best one of us…..but he was just too strong. Pettigrew blasted him down to the bottom of the hill." Fred replied with a small smirk.

Remus rubbed his chin momentarily before sighing and saying…..

"Okay…..untangeleto…." Fred and George were free. They jumped up happily and ran over to Remus who was bent down next to their sister. Harry, Ron and Hermione approached them.

"Alright? Where is Arielle? And what happened to Ginny?" Harry asked anxiously.

"Pettigrew on both counts mate….."Fred said

"Harry are you okay? Fred and George told me what happened…."

"Ya Im alright Remus. He knocked me out for a few minutes and the balance was a little off course but…I am okay now thanks…." Remus smiled at him as he, Ron and Hermione walked away.

"Alright…..okay….Ginny if you can hear me you are going to feel a tingling sensation in your throat but its nothing to be worried about okay? Its just the sensation of your voice returning okay?"

She opened her eyes and nodded. Fred and George beamed with excitement.

"Yes! She's alive!" Remus smiled up at them.

"That's always a plus……Noisensio!" Remus aided her in sitting up as she began to cough.

"Ginny…..Ginny are you okay? If I had known I would have brought you some water…."

"Its okay…..I'm okay….thank you Remus…" He clasped her shoulder as he smiled and said…

"No problem…..Fred and George are going to take you back to the castle now okay? Just get Madam Pomfrey to assess you but I am sure that you are fine. Nevertheless….its better to be safe than sorry."

"Ya…."

"Okay Ill see you later…."

"Hey how's Harry?" She asked anxiously.

"Harry is fine. He is just having a sit down until he regains his balance. Go on and Ill talk to you later….."

"Remus where is she? Where is Arielle?" James asked urgently as he, Sirius, Albus and Snape arrived.

"Peter took her into the shack….."

"James I did not let him do anything okay? If you must know he cursed all of them before kidnapping her!" Remus exclaimed in a justified tone.

"Who is all Remus?" Albus asked.

"He silenced Ginny, tangled the twins and cursed Harry….."

"Where is Harry?" Sirius asked concernedly as he looked around.

"Well he was here a minute ago….." Remus replied as they looked towards the shack and back at each other in disarray.

"Oh no…."Remus said before James charged through to the entrance saying….

"Cant take your eyes of him for a second!" He was followed by Sirius and Remus. Albus and Snape stayed up there waiting for Peter and Fudge.
