One week later Harry was wandering along a corridor with Hermione and Ron when they caught a group of boys staggering around following random two girls, Harry craned his neck and spotted the top of the girls' heads. He couldn't believe it. One had a mane of fiery red hair while the other had curly black and blue hair. Apparently not so random.

Harry shoved his way through the crowd until he reached the front of the crowd, ignoring Ron and Hermione's frantic calls for him to stop, until he reached the two girls.

"Melanie Potter! You're skirt is way too short!" Harry growled as Hermione and Ron reached him, Ron took a look at Melanie to see what Harry was angry about, then his eyes fell on his own sister.

"Ginevra Molly Weasley! What the hell are you wearing? And you too Melanie!" Ron bellowed, pointing from one girl to the other.

Both girls turned to their brothers, Melanie was wearing her school issued skirt, however it had to be shorter than mid thigh, giving the lads around a right eyeful. As for Ginny hers was only slightly longer.

Hermione however found the situation almost too funny, both boys who happened to be best friends, who were yelling at their little sisters, while checking out the sister of their best friend; and the two sisters also happened to be best friends. Confusing… Yeah a little. Something Hermione found very funny? Indeed.

Ron and Harry both whipped around to glare at Hermione who accidentally snorted with laughter. Melanie and Ginny grinned at Hermione, rolling their eyes.

"I'm sure you wouldn't mind so much if it was 'Mione with the shorter skirt, would you Ronnikins?" Ginny drawled to her brother, eye brows raised as her brother started to sputter nonsense, while glowing a particularly fetching shade of burgundy.

"And Harry dearest, you're not complaining about what Ginny's wearing?" Melanie said smirking at her brothers equally red face, they looked at their brothers with a loom of utter amusement.

Hermione grinned and blushed a little at Ginny and Melanie's antics, until Luna came along the corridor and smiled dreamily at everyone.

"Why don't you two look fantastic?" She said extravagantly, and then grabbed both Melanie and Ginny and wandered away with them down the corridor. Leaving both boys standing there spluttering.

Harry, full of rage, stomped towards the defence against the dark arts class room and up to Remus Lupin who was sitting at his desk. Looking up Remus smiled at Harry, his amber eyes gleaming.

"You have to do something?" Harry stated, as he paced before the man, who was much like a father figure to him, along with Sirius.

"About what Harry?" Remus asked in a tone that made Harry suspect that Remus knew exactly why the teenager was there, and that he also found it a bit amusing. This did not help the situation.

"Melanie, she's really pushing it at the moment. She's making it very hard for me!" Harry said frustrated. "She won't listen to me! No matter what I say! I just need to protect her from the boys! But she won't let me! What am I doing to do if I need to protect her form Voldemort?" Harry near yelled.

Remus had to hold back a laugh.

"Harry, have you seen Melanie's scar?" Remus asked, looking at the teenager with both amusement and respect.

"Well of course she showed it to me," Harry said, not understanding what that had to do with anything.

"It the same as yours, only in a different place, while you have and lightening shaped scar on your forehead, she has one on her collar bone, do you know what that means?" Remus asked, but from the blank look he received Remus guessed the answer was no. "It means that she has the same protection as you do. It means she is perfectly capable of looking after herself, it means you don't have to worry about boys."

"But what if they hurt her," Harry said in a pained voice, he looked honestly upset at the prospect, and Remus believed it did really scare him.

"Harry I doubt any guy could hurt Melanie Lily Potter, I mean she's a strong person, and if they do Harry, with Sirius and I as well as the Weasley boys who have accepted her into their clan, that boy has no hope," Remus said reassuringly to Harry who looked slightly happier at the thought, it was nice to know he wasn't alone in wanting to protect her… Though really he had always known that.

"Would Sirius say the same thing?" Harry asked after a moments thought.

"Oh no Harry, Sirius would be here in an instant searching the school for anybody who dared look at Melanie in a way he didn't like," Remus said with a slight chuckle then smiled as Harry got a look on his face that screamed he had an idea.

"Thanks Remus," He said then ran from the room.

Remus watched him go, shaking his head, a smile playing on his face.

Halloween was nearing and Dumbledore was sitting at his desk thinking deeply, he knew that Voldemort was out, and with every passing day there was news of more deaths and attacks. He knew that Harry and Melanie were needed to bring down Voldemort, but what he didn't know was what he should do. For the first time he just didn't know what to do. Did he allow for the children to go fight, or did they wait unprepared for Voldemort to come to them?

With a sleepy sigh he knew that he would have to let them know, and prepare them for a battle he knew was to come soon. But there were also other things, thing that could help or hinder them in their battle, depending on who got to them first…

The Key would be a vital part of this battle, if only he could tell them that…
