I was sat reading the morning paper, Azkaban had been broken into and there were several escapees. I read over who there were and dropped my pumpkin juice

"No!" I yelled and everyone looked at me "No" my voice wavered

"Vega what's the matter?" Harry asked as I started shaking and scanning the room for my brother. I saw him at the Slytherin table and jumped up running over to him I grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and pulled him out of the hall.

"Vega! What the hell!" he shouted and I shoved him into one of the alcoves

"Tell me it's not true. Tell me the papers are lying." I stressed

"What are you talking about?! You don't speak to me for months and then you haul me out in front of everyone?" he snapped at me

"I was told not to. You idiot are you really that blind? are you so far up fathers arse that you can't see I was in danger? The moment the Dark Lord returned I knew there would be a target on my back. In the eyes of our family, our heritage I am a blood traitor, the only thing that kept me safe was mother. She can't do that anymore. You-know-who would either have me killed or tortured till I submitted."

"Vega." he breathed

"No, you are the world's shittiest family. Now tell me is it true? Did he really break out those prisoners? Our Aunt being one of them?" He gulped and I shoved him up against the wall "Is it true?"

"Vega let him go." The others came and pulled me off him

"Yes." he answered "I haven't seen her but father sent me a letter."

"We're dead, you realise that? she's fucking deranged, more than he is. They will suck the life out of you, they will break your soul and for what some stupid ideal? You have spent your life sucking up to a man who will be the very death of you and mother. Even now, you work against those who know what's coming, trying to silence us." I shake my head "What kind of brother stops protecting their little sister, when she's needs him the most?" I shake Harry off and walk away.

In our secret class, Harry was teaching us the patrons charm, which was more complicated than it sounded.

"Make it a powerful memory, the happiest you can remember. Allow it to keep filling you up. Keep Trying Seamus." Harry told us and the other Gryffindor who finally apologised to my boyfriend

"Expect Patronum." nothing happened and I sighed

"Hey, look at me." I did "I know right now, your shaken up. But I'm gonna tell you what I know you would tell me. Concentrate." I nodded "You can do this, I know you can."

"Thank you." I whisper. He carried on talking to the others

"A full bodied patronus is the most difficult to produce but shield forms can be equally useful against a variety of opponents." Ginny cracked it and a horse formed "Fantastic Ginny. Just remember, your patronus can only protect you for as long as you stay focused. Focus Luna." she created a rabbit. Okay concentrate flicker through memories and stop, found one. The day that Sirius took me home, I was safe and with someone I trust.

"Expect Patronum." I say and it works blue/while light emitted form my wand and created the form of a doe. Harry stopped and stared at me for a moment then broke out into a smile.

"Well done, Vega." he kissed my cheek making me blush and lose concentration. The moment was short lived though. The room began to rattle, the lights dim and shook the chandeliers. One of the mirrored walls broke and cracked. We held our wands out in defence until hole formed. Harry and Nigel stepped forward then Harry pulled him back there was an explosion and I was hit in the head.

"Argh." I cry out touching my head and then my hands sticky with blood. Harry took my side as the smoke cleared.

"Get them." Umbridge ordered. My brother stormed in and yanked me away from Harry.

"She's injured, shall I take her to the infirmary?" Draco questioned. Umbridge scanned me over.

"No, she'll be fine."

"Are you crazy?" I question "Your attack hit me in the head and I'm bleeding. Refusing medical aid is against the school rules" she scowled at me and gestured for me to leave. I was pulled away.

"You get yourself into some scraps sis."

"Don't talk to me." I huff and was taken to see Madam pomfrey who healed me and cleaned my head.
