It's Love When It Burns Chapter 27

We decided to sneak back into the school. It still would be hard to explain to one of the Professors or Filch why two students were out of their common room, walking around the grounds of Hogwarts.

"I think we're safe now," Harry says as he pulls off the invisibility cloak.

"Good, even though I think that's totally awesome to have, it does get a little but stuffy," I say to him as I begin to redo my hair.

He rolls his eyes and starts up the staircase.

"So where are you going now?" I ask as I follow him.

"Well, I need to take care of something, but if you want to head back to the common room that's fine."

I got his indication immediately, "Fine, hint taken, I'll see you later Harry," I say with a wave of my hand. He nods as the staircase moves to where I need to exit.

I step off, "Just be careful," I say to him before I turn.

"I will, just need to talk to some specific house elves," he replies with a smile.

I furrow my eyes in confusion but do not ask. If he wanted me to know more then he would have said it.

I watch as the staircase begins to change and Harry is pulled a different way. Once he was out of my sight I begin making my way towards the common room.

I still couldn't shake from my mind what all Harry had told me. To think, that a Professor here had explained to Voldemort how to live forever, such a nasty thought it was. I hope Harry can find the truth, to help bring an end to the Dark Lord once and for all.

I had faith in Harry, like so many others. I knew without a doubt he was the Chosen One to end this war. But I also knew he couldn't do it alone, and I will be there to help him in any way I can. Right now, all I contribute is information from Draco. Harry still believed he had a connection to Voldemort and no matter how much I try to convince him otherwise he still believes the same.

I take the last corner that leads to the Fat Lady, and the entrance to the common room.

I let out a deep breath as I approach her. The Fat Lady and I seemingly got along, but the fact that she tries to sing to me every time still was annoying.

"Ms. Sweary," she calls to me as I approach.

"Hello," I reply politely, "How are you?"

"Never better, would you like to hear the latest song I have been working on?"

"Of course, but I am in a bit of a hurry, but I would love to next time," I tell her.

She gives me a glare and at first I thought she knew what I was doing, but then she smiles.

"Very well, until next time," she tells me.

"Thank you."

I stand and wait for her to open the door but she only continues to look intently at me.

"Is there something wrong?" I ask her trying to fight my impatient mind.

"You need to provide me the password Sweary," she explains.

I so wanted to roll my eyes, she knew I was in Gryffindor, she even knew my name. However I just let out my breath, "Phoenix Feather."

She nods and the picture begins to sway out revealing the entrance of the common room.

I walk through and make my way inside to the main living area.

"There you are!" I hear Hermione shout once she saw me.
