I'm not saying this is real, but here we go
Before Reading: Eairlier in this book what would have happened was that Harry went back to Hogwarts for his 5th year, and Voldemort being back in power, sent Wormtail back to Hogwarts to kidnap Harry on Halloween, and would have succeded were it not for Hermione and Ron stopping him. They caught him, and brought Sirius out of hiding and in Dumbledore's office brought both Sirius and Wormtail infront of Fudge. Sirus' name was cleared, and he stayed on to help Remus Lupin (DADA instructor). Gryffindor won their first match with Ravenclaw (the Weasly Twins are co-captains). After the match, Harry carries Cho to the Hospital Wing, after grabbing the snitch and catching her on his broom, for 8 broken ribs by 2 consecutive bludgers. They become and item and are very happy together, and almost got in trouble with Filch for sneaking out in the middle of the night (multiple times) to meet, but are saved by Sir Nicholas, the marauders map and the Invisiblity cloak. The year seems to be going with out a hitch when a new wave of mysterious attacks start happening around the school. Not just on students (2 Hufflepuffs and Colin Creevy) but as well as on Professor Delacour (Yes Fleur, she was hired to replace Snape who has gone back to Voldemort as a spy). It is now May, and Dumbledore is getting worried because he hasn't gotten a report from Snape in a while.
Chapter 25-30 (have no idea)
Harry woke up early that Thursday morning, he didn't know why, but he couldn't go back to sleep. He went down the common room stairs and sat down in one of the most comfortable chairs by the fire. He sat here, wishing that Cho could be here with him, thinking of her beautiful hair and eyes. He got lost in thought and was only revived by Ron shaking him and Parvati and Lavendar giggling across the room.
"Lets go to breakfast or we'll be late to Defense Against the Dark Arts," said Ron, "I hate not getting a front seat in that class"
"Where's Hermione?" asked Harry.
"Dunno," Ron replied. "Probably studying," he added sarcasticly.
"Why do you pretend to not like her Ron? Everyone knows you do. Are you scared she won't like you back?"
"No, I don't know"
"Well, she does, and everyone knows that too."
"I know, I just don't want to lose the friendship."
"No, you're just scared."
"Maybe you're right. Maybe I'll try to get her alone to talk tonight Anyway, we need to get to breakfast."
Harry and Ron climbed out of the portrait hole and greeted Sir Cadogen with the usual taunts. (Peeves had "accidently" set fire to the Fat Lady, and was being restored in Hogsmeade at the moment) The two of them walked together down to the Great Hall for breakfast, and found Hermione wolfing down food.
"Good morning Hermione" said Harry who then looked at Ron. Ron said nothing and just blushed.
"Oh hello"
"Why didn't you wait for us to come down this morning?" Harry questioned.
"Need to get to the library." Ron muttered somthing under his breath that sounded like "I told you so"
Harry cast a sideways glance at Ron that made him blush again.
Just then, Hermione jumped up, bolted off, and called over her shoulder, "I have to study for exams," as if she anticipated the next quesion, "Save me a seat with you guys in front."
"Ok," Harry called, "I can't believe you didn't even say 'Hello' to her"
Ron banged his head on the table in a way that reminded Harry of Dobby as he repeatedly said "Stupid...stupid...stupid..."
"We better get going, we'll be late enough as it is," said Harry downing two sausages and a roll.
Then somthing grabbed him from behind that made him jump, "Hey, not going to say 'Good morning' to me"
Harry recognized the voice, which mad him relax, it was the voice of the person he had been most wanting to see and hear since three that morning.
"Sorry. Good morning," said Harry as he kissed Cho on the cheek, "I was concerned about other things."
"Oh, so I see I'm not important enough to remember," said Cho sarcasticly.
"No, not that, I just.... uh..."
"It's fine," Cho reasured him as she returned the kiss, "Go to class. Besides, I've got Divination, I'll be late all because I wated for you."
Harry and Ron hurried out of the Great Hall and ran up the stairs and down the hall to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. They were lucky, the rest of the class wasn't there yet, so they got choice seats. They sat togther joking as the class filed in, until Hermione came in and sat next to Ron, who imediatly fell silent.
"Whew, glad I'm not late."
"Yeah... you wouldn't want to... miss a lesson would you?" said Ron timidly trying his best to flirt with Hermione, which Harry could tell, he didn't have much expierience at.
Another familiar voice penetrated the room and instilled silence, "Good morning," it was Sirius. "Professor Lupin will not be here today, he is ill." Everyone knew that Lupin was not ill in the normal sense, all except Nevill, who was either never clued in to Lupin being a werewolf, or kept forggeting, Lupin was out every month, this wasn't unusual.
"Please turn in your books to page 634, Hermione, will you please read the paragraph?"
"Yes," Hermione began reading, "The Yeti is a very interesting creature, it is found all over the world, but is most commonly found in Tibet, but can be found (under other names ex. Sasquatch, Big Foot, The Abominable Snowman) all over the world, from The Black Forest, to the Canadian Rockies. Yeties are one of the largest varieties of demi-humans, standing 10 feet tall, with muscular builds, often weighing over 700 pounds. Their coat color is varies with their surroundings, but the most common colors are white and dark brown. Their only innate magical ability is that they are able to hide themselves very easily from muggles, and are rarley seen by the muggles unless they want to be. All yeties speak Yetish, and some extremely smart yeties learn other languages of creatures in their area (including, on rare occasion, human languages), but this rarley happens because, on average, yeties are very stupid. Despite their stupidity, they have great battle instincts and are savage fighters. In fact, Gehngis Kahn's wizards actually recruited Yeti armies from Tibet (this was when their number was much greater), and they were responsible for much of the conquering in Europe. And it is hypothe..."
"Thank you Miss Granger, that is enough" said Sirius appreciativly, "so, what can we speculate that The Dark Lord used the Yeties for?"
Everyone's hand shot up, including Neville's
"Mr Longbottom?"
"Well, we can expect that he used them as tortures when the... um... the uh..."
Harry knew why Nevill had paused, and Sirius did too. He was going to say "When the Cruciatus Curse was unavailable or inconvienient." But Neville had a bad relationship with that curse. It had been used on his parents to get information about Voldemort's whereabouts, and left them permenatly insane, which caused him to live with his grandmother.
As though to save Nevill from any more trauma, the door at the back of the classroom opened suddenly, and Ginny Weasly walked in, looking embarassed. "Professor Black, can I have a word?"
Sirius beckoned her foward.
She walked to him and he bent over, and she wispered in his ear.
"Yes of course," Sirius' head turned to Harry, "come here Harry," he sounded grave.
"Yes?" Harry wispered.
"Go with Ginny to the Hospital Wing, I'll be in your dormitory after this class is over," he saw the look of skepticism of Harry's face, "Just trust me."
Harry and Ginny left the classroom.
"What's this about?"
Ginny shook her head, she didn't want to say, "Just follow me."
When they got to the door to the Hospital Wing, Ginny said, "I have to get back to class, go in."
"Ok, see you later," Harry said as he passed the motionless bodies of two Hufflepuff third years, Colin Creevy and Fleur Delacour. He saw Madam Pomfrey erecting curtains around a bed, and she motioned him foward.
"I know this will be hard, but it must be done now," she said as she pulled back the curtain.
There lay the motionless body of Cho. It felt as though a giant cold stone had just dropped into Harry's stomach. His first love, his girlfriend, just lying there, still, and he couldn't help.
For the first time in years a tear slipped out of the corner of his eye and rolled down making a water mark on his collar. He fell to his knees beside her bed, lifted her hand and kissed it, another water mark appeared on his collar.
"When did this happen?"
"Just before the first period, she was late for Divination, and was attacked on the way there."
Another stone, another water mark. He thought to himself, "If I had just gone over to her as soon as I got into the Hall, she wouldn't have had to spend time joking with me, then she wouldn't have been late, then she wouldn't have been attacked, and she would still be able to see me and I could hold her, and we could have fun and laugh. But it's all my fault." Another stone, another water mark.
Madam Pomfrey saw the look on his face, "It's not your fault, it would have happened anyway. It's not your fault."
Suddenly, the door to the Hall burst open, and Dumbledore, Hagrid and MacGonagall came rushing into the hall.
"Oh no, this is not good Albus," said MacGonagall with a waver in her voice, "This is the sixth attack, this is really not good."
Only Hagrid had noticed Harry, "C'mere, its aright," said Hagrid hugging Harry, but this hug was different than a normal hug from Hagrid, it didn't crack any ribs, but felt comforting.
"Hagrid, take Harry to Gryffindor Tower, there he will meet Sirius," Dumbledore's eyes flashed at Harry as to say 'I know,' then he continued, "after this period, move all students to the Great Hall, don't wait for Harry, Sirius will bring him to the Hall," Dumbledore's voice was very reasuring, but he wanted to talk to Sirius, "Go."
Hagrid and Harry left the Hospital Wing, but not before Harry had kissed Cho on the forehead. On the way back, the two didn't speak, Hagrid thought it would be best.
When they got to the picture of Sir Cadogen with the fat pony Hagrid broke the silence, "I'm sorry this had ter happen ter ya 'Arry."
"Thanks Hagrid," Harry responded greatfully as Hagrid bounded off, "Bloody Scoundrel."
Harry entered the common room with Sir Cadogen calling challenges after him. It seemed weired, the common room was empty, this was unusual for April, because he had never been in the room in the middle of a spring day without a crouded common room. But, he didn't have time to think about that, he needed to talk to Sirius.
He hurried up the dormitory stairs and when he opened the door, he saw Sirius, but not as he had expected, he was bound and gagged and had been thrown on the floor. He was screaming, but it was inaudible through the gag. The bed hangings had been ripped off and the room was in disaray.
Harry ran to Sirius and ungagged him.
Sirius yelled, "Harry, behind you!"
But it was too late, the door had slammed shut, and a tall man was their in a hooded cloak. The hooded figure drew a wand from the robe, and Harry did as well, but the hooded figure was too fast, "EXPELLIERMUS," he roared. Harry's wand lept from his hand and into the outstretched hand of the hooded man. The man pocketed Harry's wand.
Then a voice from under the hood spoke, it was a voice that could freeze water, a voice that chilled Harry to his very bone and froze him there. "Finally, Harry Potter," the voice growled, "I finally have you right where I want you."
As the man said this he lowered his hood, Harry saw a horror like he had never seen before.
In the very room where he slept, was a man who's name instilled fear into all wizards in the world. A man who's name is Voldemort.
