It was another trip to Hogsmead and once again Ron and Emma had ditched us to give us some alone time but after what happened down by the lake we didn't mind. The two of us spent most of the day together walking around inspecting all the shops, that was until Ron found us having been ditched by Emma himself. Since the gang ex-Harry of course was all here Hermione took this opportunity to have us visit the shrieking shack and although Ron wasn't so thrilled I couldn't hide my admitted interest.

"It's meant to be the most haunted building in Britain. Did I mention that?" Hermione said as we looked at the house from a distance.

"Twice," I said as she smiled.

"Do you two want to move a bit closer? To the Shrieking Shack?" Hermione said.

"Actually, I'm fine here," Ron said.

"Well then you can sit here as we go at take a look," I said.

"Well, well. Look who's here. You two shopping for your new dream home? After all it is a bit too grand for you, Weasle-Bee? Don't your family sleep in one room?" Draco said as he appeared.

"Shut your mouth, Malfoy," Ron said.

"Not very friendly. Boys, I think it's time we teach Weasle-Bee how to respect his superiors," Draco said.

"Hope you don't mean yourself," Hermione said.

"How dare you talk to me! You filthy little mudblood!" Draco said and I was about to hit him when a snowball hit him instead.

"Who's there?" Draco said as another snowball hit him.

Soon Malfoy and his goons were being thrown around, pushed over and practically bullied by what looked like an invisible man but Hermione and I knew better.

"Harry," Hermione and I laughed as he revealed himself.

"Those weasels! Never told me about any Marauder's Map," Ron said after Harry explained everything.

"He won't keep it. He'll turn it over to Professor McGonagall," Hermione said.

"Sure. Along with his Invisibility Cloak. Wouldn't count on it," I said as Hermione sighed knowing I was right.

"Look who it is. Madam Rosmerta. Ron fancies her," Hermione said.

"That's not true!" Ron said.

"I don't know Ron you might have a chance there," I said mocking him

"Professor McGonagall! Cornelius! Allow me, minister," Hagrid said as he accidentally pulled the door off of Cornelius's carriage.

"Oh, Hagrid...," Cornelius said.

"Sorry about that," Hagrid said.

"Formerta, my dear. I hope business is good," Cornelius said.

"It'd be a lot better if the Ministry wasn't sending dementors into my pub every other night!" Rosmerta said.

"We have a killer on the loose," Cornelius said.

"Sirius Black in Hogsmeade! And what would bring him here?" Rosmerta said.

"Harry Potter?" Rosmerta said surprised.

"Harry!" I said realising he was gone.

"No underage wizards allowed in today! - Shut the damn door!" A few shrunken heads say as we follow Harry in.

"So rude," Hermione said.

"Thick heads," I said closing the door.

I sat with Hermione outside the pub as we waited for Harry to come back out I didn't really have much to say this whole thing between me and Hermione was still new and I didn't know if the cost was us being together now. I did like Hermione a lot and the kiss we shared definitely ment she felt the same way but all this is just not sure yet I guess I will have to ask her about it at some point. I put my hand over Hermione's shoulders as I wanted to keep us warm from all the snow and she leaned into me getting closer. 

"Guy's look," I said as the door opened and then we saw footprints. 

We followed the footprints off to an area out of town that was a stone and I could hear Harry crying as he sat on it. Hermione walked over to him and gently pulled the invisible cloak off of him and asked what happened.

"He was their friend and he betrayed them HE WAS THEIR FRIEND," Harry said.

Harry didn't need to say who he was talking about and I clenched my fist at his words betraying anyone was bad enough but your friends. 

"I hope he comes for me I hope he finds me because when he does I'm going to be ready he does I'm gonna kill him," Harry said. 

It was after we had gotten back that Hermione spoke or more accurately spoke to me I knew she had a question to ask me but a lot had happened.

"So back when we were at Hogsmead and Harry told us what black did you kind of snapped why," Hermione said.

"It's not important but I have issues with betrayal," I said.

"Is this about your half brother we've never really talked about him," Hermione said.

"Yeah, but nows not really the time," I said.

"Look I'm here for you always," Hermione said and I smiled as she hugged me.
