Chapter 10: Harry's Godfather

A few days later I still had not found time to talk to Lupin. Harry was out of the hospital wing. The holidays were fast approaching which meant another trip to Hogsmeade.

"Last call for Hogsmeade!" Filch yelled.

Kids piled into a line to get past Filch.

"I wish Harry could come with us." Ron said as we walked to Hogsmeade.

"I know me too. He should be able to see this." I said.

"So what is going on with you and Geroge?" Hermoine asked while she was examining a piece of candy at Honeydukes.

"I don't really know." I said laughing.

"Can we not talk about that please?" Ron asked.

"Right, sorry. Where should we go next?" Hermoine asked.

"Oh the shrieking shack!" Ron said.

"Ok." Hermoine said, walking to the path towards the shack. When we went there it was on a small island close to shore. A wall was around it so no one could get to it.

"It is meant to be the most haunted building in Britain. Did I mention that?" Hermoine asked.

"Twice." I said.

"Well do you want to move a bit closer? To the Shrieking Shack?" Hermoine said.

"Actually, I am fine here." Ron said. I wanted to tell them that it was not haunted that Lupin would go there to become a werewolf but then they would know the truth about him.

"Well, Well. Look who's here." Draco said. "You two shopping for your new dream home? Bit grand for you isn't it, Wasle-bee? Don't your family sleep in one room?" Draco asked.

"Shut your mouth, Malfoy." Ron said.

"Not very friendly. Boys I think it is time we teach Weasel-Bee here how to respect his superiors." Draco said smugly.

"I Hope you don't mean yourself." Hermoine said.

"How dare you talk to me! You filthy little mudblood!" Right as Draco finished his sentence a snowball hit him right in the face.

"Who is that?" Draco asked.

More snowballs hit them.

"Don't stand there! Do something!" Draco yelled.

Crabbes pants got pulled down all of the sudden and he fell over into the snow. Draco was being dragged by his feet. His feet dropped and they all ran over the hill falling all over each other.

"Harry!" Hermoine called.

Harry took off what seemed to be a cloak of invisibility.

"Bloody hell, Harry. That was not funny." Ron said as we all laughed.

"It was kind of funny." I laughed.

"Let's go get a butterbeer." I said as we walked back to the town.

"How did you find us?" Ron asked.

"Fred and Geroge gave me something called "The Marauder's Map.'" Harry said.

"The Marauders what?" I said stopping.

"The marauders map." Harry said again. "It show-" Harry started but I cut him off.

"Hogwarts and anyone with names." I said as we started walking.

"Yes, how did you know?" Harry asked.

"Oh um...My dad heard something about it along time ago." I lied but it was not a complete lie. They just did not need to know that my dad, Lupin, Harry's dad, and Peter made it.

"Those weasels! Never told me anything about a Marauder's map." Ron said annoyed.

"Harry is not going to keep it. He'll turn it over to Professor McGonagall. Aren't you?" Hermione said.

"Sure, along with his Invisibility cloak." Ron said.

"Oh look who it, Madame Rosmerta. Ron fancies her." Hermoine said.

"No I don't!" Ron said.

"Professor McGonagall!" Said Cornelius Fudge.

"Cornelius!" Said McGonagall.

"Allow me minister." Hagrid said, opening the sled door. He broke it off of course because of his size.

"Oh, Hagrid." Fudge said.

"Sorry About that." Hagrid said.

"Rosmerta, my dear. I hope business is good." Fudge said, walking closer to her.

"It'd be alot better if the Ministry wasn't sending dementors into my pub every other night!" She said,

"We have- We have a killer on the loose." Fudge said.

"Sirius Black in Hogsmeade!" She exclaimed. "And what would bring him here?"

"Harry Potter." Fudge said in a low voice.

"Harry Potter?" Rosmerta asked.

They went into the pub quickly. I looked over at Harry who had disappeared. We all looked at the ground and saw footprints in the snow leading up to the door.

"Harry!" Hermione said.

We got there right as the door closed. "No underage wizard aloud today!" Said a head as we opened the door.

"So rude." Hermoine said.

"Thick heads." Ron said, closing the door.

"Thick heads? How dare they!" One head said.

"What should we do?" Hermoine asked.

"Just wait for him to come out." I said walking over to a bench to sit down.

A few minutes later we saw footprints walking away from the pub.

"It must be Harry!" Hermoine said.

We followed the footprints to a rock where they stopped. Hermoine walked closer and took off the cloak.

"They trusted him!" Harry yelled.

"Who?" Ron asked.

"My parents trusted Black!" Harry yelled.

"He turned them over to Voldemort!" Harry yelled.

"He was one of their bestfriend! He is my-" Harry started but stopped. "He is my godfather." Harry said. Hermoine and Ron gave a little gasp. I already knew all of this. I felt bad that Harry had to find out this way.

"When he finds me I am going to kill him!" Harry said. This took me back.

"Harry you don't mean that you're just angry!" I said. I could not let him kill my dad.

"Why are you diffinding him!" Harry yelled.

"I am not! I am just saying you are not going to kill him. You're just saying that because you're angry!" I yelled back.

"Harry, I think she is right." Ron said.

"We should go back to school." I said walking away.
