Harry stepped though the large oak doors and down the stone stairs and through the lawns as he made his way to the greenhouses. Previously before this Harry wrote a note to Ron and Hermione telling both of them to meet him after class in the second Greenhouse. At the bottom of both notes he wrote, 'I had a dream.' He knew first and formost Hermione would be intrigued by the last line, and Ron would just be wondering what it was about but they both would follow through and meet him as soon as they could.
Harry went though the stiff lawns with throughts buzzing though his head. The night before he had a dream about Ginny and he wasnt sure how to figure out what it ment. He was worried something was going to happen to her. He knew it was more than a dream, he just didnt know how to put it in context and understand it.
With his cloak flapping in the wind behind him Harry reached Greehouse 2. The Greenhouses were normally left unlocked so he walked right in. Thankful no one else was there studing or what not, Harry walked slowly into the room. It would be a few minutes before Ron or Hermione arrived so he needed something to do, to take his mind off his dream. Walking over to a book case Harry found his book he used for Herbology last year. Going to the next volume up he would NEWTS. Taking it off the shelf he began to glance though it and freshen his mind up with things with the year. Sitting down on the top of the table, Harry started to read.

Ron walked towards the fat lady, grumbling loudly about Professor Snape. Hogwarts most unliked teacher had kept him late after he spilt the entire contents of Malfoy's cauldron. It wasn't like it was on purpose, just because the greasy Slytherin had insulted his family again, and he knocked the the thing over before Harry managed to grab him was no reason for Snape to make him stay after and wash all the desks.
He hoped to find Harry in the common room, he had a lot of complaining to do after all. A quick look around and he saw that his best friend was no where to be found, he did locate a note though. Harry had another dream.
Forcing himself to forget his anger with sname he made his way out to Greenhouse 2. Harry was much more important that staying late with Snape, he was his best friend after all, and Harry's dreams normally ended up resulting in something rather important.
After making his way across the grounds, he pused open the door and stepped into the greenhouse. It was clear why Harry had chosen it. It was far from the other students, and it would be disasterous if they over heard.
He was amazed that he was here before Hermione. He was sure that she would have rushed over the moment she got the note. He soon spotted Harry, and walked over to the table, and sat down in the seat beside his friend.
"No one died this time, did they?"
Harry's dream of his father getting attacked by a snake was still strong in his memory.

Hermione was walking down to the greenhouses, in her hand she clutched Harry’s note, ‘a dream,’ was what was going through her mind, “Harry had another dream.” The last time it had been a foretelling of something to come and also a trick, if he was having dreams again they had to know which it was, a prediction or a trick. Either way they could not take the chance of being over heard anywhere and Harry’s suggestion of the greenhouse was a good one, no one ever went there unless it was for class.
She raced out the oak doors of the castle and walked briskly to he greenhouse, she didn’t want to attract attention by running there, though truthfully that is what she wanted to do, that was how eager to know what the note meant she was. A few minutes later Hermione was at the greenhouse door, she pushed it, knowing it would be unlocked, and walked in. the smell of warm, freshly tilled earth and mulch filled her nose when she walked in, but it didn’t bother her any, and there she found Harry seated on a desk and Ron was standing nearby. “Ron!” Hermione called as he blurted out if someone had died in this dream. “Hi Harry,” she said more calmly and gave Ron a look. “Tell us about this dream. When did you have it?” she took a seat on a table nearby and waited for Harry to expound on his dream.

She had to use that tone didn't she, like she knew what he was thinking. He looked over at her, a muddled smile on his face that was somewhere between concern and annoyance. Any normal sane person would think the worst and then ask it and not pe rational and want details like when.
"Only you would be praticle about this"

Looking though the Herbology book, Ron soon walked in. He seemed a bit worried about what the note was about and all, but seemed a bit comical in his tone although his look was quite stern. Soon after Hermione arrived seeming normal as ever. She of course wanted to know what it was about but of course when. Ron made a comment about her as Harry smirked in Ron;s direction.
Closing the NEWTS herbology book he pushed it aside. Putting his hands behind his back, he sat in high stature as he darted his eyes from Hermione and Ron as he began.
First answering Ron's question he said in a serious tone, "No Ron, No one died but.. it is 'bout Ginny." he said as he paused and went to Hermione. "I had the dream last night. I woke up and told Ginny all 'bout it. She was in the Common room luckily. She already knows." he said as he paused again, as he started with the description of his dream.
"Well, There isnt much to say. It was short and not much happened." he said in a confused but as normal of a voice tone as he could get it. Looking at Hermione he knew her face would speak of how she felt. He was stalling and Hermione never liked that. "Well... I.. All I remember.." Harry said trying to find the right words to say. "All I remember is seeing Ginny in a corner of a very dark room crying her eyes out. It looked like she was crying for a long while before I arrived." while he talked his eyes went back from the two catching every expression. "It seemed like she saw me or something, All she kept saying was the letters D. A. She kept saying them over and over again. 'DA DA DA" Harry mocked as a look of confusion fell over his face. "... and then I woke up and my scar was hurting for a good five minutes after."
He didnt know how either of them would take the dream- there wasnt much to go off of. Ron might be taken back- due to the fact it is his sister. Hermione might be at a loss for words, there really wasnt much to go off of and who knows if she could figure it out.
Harry sat in silence as he waited for a responce from either of his friends.

Hermione looked at Ron, matter-of-factly, “Yes, someone has to be.” She looked back at Harry, flashed Ron another annoyed look and then waited for Harry to tell them all. “Ginny?” Hermione said alarmed, she looked at Ron. They all remembered when Ginny had been taken by the basilisk, and what is had done to Ron. Harry was stalling, why was he doing that? If it was important he should jus tell them, not unless it was that bad. She tried not to show it but her face said exactly what she was thinking. “DA?” Hermione said; her eyebrows furrowed in thought. “DA DA DA,” she repeated to herself, “And then your scare hurt?” Hermione was thinking. “What did Ginny say?” Hermione asked, interrupting her own thoughts for a second.
She got off the table, “They could be initials? D and A maybe? Or maybe directions. It has to be a warning, but what is the question.” Hermione’s eyes went from Ron to Harry and back again, the intensity on her face.

He was lost somewhere between listening to Harry and sending Hermione more annoyed looks when he heard the name 'Ginny' escape his friends lips and he was immediatly brought to attention.
"Ginny? What happened to Ginny?"
He commented, almost interupting Harry, who was contuing with his explaining.
"Wait...why was Ginny crying...It better not be whatever boy she is liking these days...I will get them if they are."
Color was flooding his face, and by the time he was done with is ranting the tips of his ears were as red as his Gryffindor scarf, a sure sign he was worked about about something. He was breathing rather loudly in result of his mood when he looked over at Hermione, not calmed by the fact that that she still taking this so logicly.

Harry waited. His eyes marching back from Hermione to Ron. Both of them looked as distressed as he did. All three of them did not know what to make out of the dream. Hermione was the first person to speak up.
Listening Harry answered, "Yeah, my scar felt like it was freshly cut or something." Harry said as she cringed a tad. Adding on he said, "Im as confused as you are. All she said was 'DA, DA, DA" Harry sat quietly as he had no clue what to make of his dream.
Hermione thought of two things, Initials or directions. "That could be a possibility. But who's initials? Could they be places? Or People?" Harry thought outloud. He didnt want anything to happen to Ginny, no one did.
Ron finally spoke. His face went red as he went on about, maybe it being some new person she likes. "Ron, That is doubtful. Why would my scar hurt over someone Ginny likes? I has to be more.... and we need to find out what it is." Harry said worred.
"Ron, as Ginny been acting weird? Any odd plains, Any odd owls?" Harry began to ask. It would be doubtful Ron knew every detail about his younger sister, but he might know something and not even understand that it could be a lead, to something.

Hermione looked at Ron, he had obviously not been listening, she would talk to him later. “Right Harry. That is all she said? Think, are you sure?” she furrowed her eyebrows in thought, trying to decipher what the dream could mean. “Thank you Harry,” Hermione said when he told Ron that his scar would not have hurt over some boy Ginny liked.
Harry asked about Ginny if she had been getting any strange notes or owls. “Last year we would have taken this up in our training for Dumbledore’s Army,” Hermione said thinking out loud. “That’s it!! That could be it!!” she cried. “Think…Dumbledore’s Army…D…A.” she said with a smile. “That might be it. But why?” she asked, sitting on the tabletop again, she looked at Ron and Harry.

He lookver over at Hermione when she said Thank you. Its not as if he wasn't listening, he heard the part about Ginny crying, though things after that did get a bit blurry. He didn't need to know anything else though, someone had done something to her and when he found them he was going to turn they yellow or make their teeth grow, or something he could do with out Hermione having to come and corect it.
"She got a package from mum that turned out to be from the twins, sent stink bombs off and she smelled up the whole common room for days. Thats about it though"
His face wa still red and he still wanted to blame someone for his sister's troubles when pratical Hermione pointed out that D.A. could stand for Dumbledore's Army.
"Of course! Makes perfect sense, that means she needs our help."
He looked back at Harry, wondering if there was more that he hadn't told them yet. He was currently considering watching his sister every second until they figure out what was after her.

Listening to Hermione and Ron voice their opinions Harry spoke up. "Of course she needs our help. If I was in a dungeon of some sort I would want help too. Do you think it is only Dumbledore’s Army, or something taken off of that?" Thinking Harry added on to his thought. "I could be wrong, Ginyn could just be saying she needed help, but wouldnt she just say 'Help Me' in stead of DA?" Harry thought outloud.
"That was all I remember. It was a very vage dream. Nothing other than what I told you already." Harry said with confidence as she jumped of the table and leaned his back up against it.

Hermione looked at Ron as though he really was getting to her, but Harry took the words right out of her mouth… “Of course she needs our help,” he chimed in. Hermione listened to Harry, “No, I think we are right in thinking that she means Dumbledore’s Army…it could be to show us how important it is? Or maybe how much help we are going to need,” she said cautiously. “It’s okay Harry; we will keep watch over Ginny very carefully from now on. We can’t let her know of course, she wouldn’t like us follow her like that.”<br>
Hermione walked over to Harry and placed a hand on his shoulder, “From now on you have to keep a book and quill by your bed, in case there are more dreams. You can make note of them and then read them back to us.” She looked at Ron for a little support.

He glanced over at Hermione, knowing that Harry had just managed to speak before her. One side of his face wrinked slightly in a stressed tense expression. He knew that his mind when a little wonky when Harry's dreams involved his family. He was looking at Harry when Hermione tried to offer their friend some support, and he caught the glare that she gave him, silently saying he needed to the the same.
"Hermione's right Harry, you have to make sure you remember everything from your dreams. Maybe someone is after Dumbledore's Army now."

Hermione smiled as Ron caught on to what she was trying to do, “Ron’s right Harry, we have to be very careful. You keep a journal of your dreams so we can go through them later.” Hermione was impressed Ron seemed to have woken up a bit, his suggestion about someone being after the members of Dumbledore’s Army was plausible. “How would they know?” she asked, “If that is what she was trying to tell us, then how would Voldemort know who was a part of it? Who was there that day? Shacklebot, Fudge, Dumbledore, who else?” Hermione racked her brain trying to remember who else had been there. “The only other people who would know who the members are, are the members themselves.” She looked from Ron to Harry.

His gazen went from Harry to Hermione again, who finally seemed to be looking at him with something other than frustration. He knew that when situations came up he didn't always think clearly, but he got there eventually. When Hermione asked how they would know, he gave Harry a cooked smile, trying to think. How would anyone know about DA? Then Hermione said something that gave him an idea.
"Maybe he knows about them from the memebers, like you said. He read Harry's mind before"

Hermione thought, and then shook her head, “No, it could be from reading Harry’s mind, we knew when he was doing that, Harry dreamt about him. No, it has to be some other way. Harry who else was there in Dumbledore’s office that day? I know I am missing someone.” Hermione put a finger to her lips and began to tap, “Let’s see there was, Professor Dumbledore, definitely not; Fudge, possibly all you would have to do is say boo and he’d spill everything; Umbridge, no one’s sure what happened to her so she is a possibility; Professor McGonagall, but she’d never tell; Marietta Edgecombe and I don’t know if anything was said to her mother; Kingsley Shacklebolt, that grey-haired fellow and Percy,” she said looking at Ron. Harry had told them all about that day and she felt terrible to have to bring up Percy since the Weasleys were not really speaking about him since all of this.

He glanced over at Hermione when she meantioned his brothers name. It was true that the Weasley family was not exactly getting along with Percy these days, but he was still family. He then looked qickly at Harry, who seemed to remain quiet for this part of their conversation.
"Percy would never do anything that might hurt Ginny, even if he is being a prick. Its someone else, it has to be. Maybe V....He-Who-Can-Not-Be-Named, is reading Ginny's mind or something, but its not Percy."
