Chapter 66

Today was the day. The day all fifth years took their OWLs. In the Great Hall, house tables were replaced with desks. They were to sit in alphabetical order. Cortney sat behind  Megan Jones a Hufflepuff and a Su Li. Headmistress came in wearing dark pink, with the same stupid smile. She sat down in a chair and drank tea as a giant clock was behind her. An old grandfather clock. Everyone was working hard on their exams. The animagus part was pretty easy for Cortney since she knew all about being one. Towards the end of testing, they heard a boom. Everyone looked at each other. The booming sound came from outside the Great Hall. Cortney looked at Pansy, she looked back. The booming sound was becoming louder and closer. The desk vibrated as the sound became louder and deeper. Umbridge walked down the aisle to investigate. She opened the giant doors, the tiny ball got in front of her and exploded. It was a firework!  There was a swooshing of broomsticks, Umbridge ducked out of the way as the Weasley twins entered the room lighting off more fireworks on their broomsticks. Everyone stood up cheering. Fireworks were dancing off the walls, orange colors everywhere. Fred held a rather large one.

" Ready when you are ! " he yelled to George. His twin gave him a thumbs up and Fred lit the firework. He threw it into the air, making it explode. This firework took shape of a dragging, it charged at Umbridge. She ran as fast as she can in her heels, the dragon was faster. It snapped its mouth over her head. When it was gone, she was covered in sot. The dragon's boom went off, making all the rules fall and break. The twins flew out of the Great Hall, all the students, and staff followed them out. They all watched from the courtyard, cheering. They let off a final firework, this one took the form of a 'W' for Weasley. Professor Flitwick was very happy and cheered along. Harry fell to the ground, Hermione looked behind her and kneeled down to him. Everyone got quiet.

" Sirius," Harry breathed. He sprang up and quickly ran into the castle, he was followed by Cortney, Ron, and Hermione. Harry was explaining what he saw.

" Are you sure? " Cortney asked nervously.

" I saw it," Harry breathed. "It's just like with Mr. Weasley, it's just the same door I've dreaming about

 for months, only I couldn't remember where I had seen it before. Sirius said Voldemort was after something, something he didn't have last time, and it's in the Department of Mysteries! "

" Harry, just listen," Hermione said. " What if Voldemort meant for you to see that? What if he was hurting Sirius to try and get to you? " 

" What if he is? I'm supposed to let him die? " Harry questioned. " Hermione, he's the only family I have left".

" What do we do? " Ron asked.

" We'll have to use Floo Network," Cortney said as they continued to run up the stairs.

" But Umbridge has the chimneys under surveillance," Hemione said.

" Not all of them! " Harry breathed. They ran into Umbridge's office and knelt down to the fireplace.

" Alert the Order if you can," Harry ordered.

" Are you mental? We're going with you,' Ron said.

" It's too dangerous," Harry insisted.

" When are you going to get it through your head? We're in this together," Hermione said.

" That. You. Are," a voice said. They turned to see Umbridge standing in the doorway. Crabbe and Goyle grabbed hold of Hermione and Ron. Pansy grabbed hold of Cortney.

" Sorry," Pansy whispered.

" It's alright, you still my bestie," Cortney whispered.  Millicent had hold of Ginny and Luna. Draco came in with Neville.

" Caught this one trying to help the Weasley girl," Draco said. Harry was sitting in the chair, Umbridge faced.

" You were going top Dumbledore, weren't you? " She asked.

" No," Harry denied. Umbridge smacked him across the face making everyone jump. Snape appeared in the doorway.

" You sent for me Headmistress," Snape said.

" Snape yes, the time has come for answers. Whether he want to give it to me or not. Have you brought the Veritaserum? " Umbridge asked.

" I'm afraid you used up all of my stores interrogating Ms. Chang," Snape pointed out. The students all looked at each other. " Unless you, wish to poison him, then I assure you I would have the greatest sympathy if you did, I can not help you," Snape began to leave.

" He's got Padfoot. He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden," Harry breathed.

" Padfoot? What is Padfoot? What is he talking about? " Umbridge ordered.

" No idea," Snape denied and left.

" Very well. You leave me no choice, Mr. Potter. Now, this is an issue of the Ministry security you leave me with no alternative," Umbridge began. " The Cruciatus Curse ought to loosen your tongue".

" That's illegal," Cortney protested.

" What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him," Umbridge said putting his picture face down. She pointed her wand at Harry. " Cr-"

" Tell her Harry! " Cortney shouted.

" Tell me what? " Umbridge asked.

" Well if you won't tell her what it is, we will," Hermione said. All eyes were on the two girls.

" Where what is? " Umbridge asked with her wand still pointed at Harry.

" Dumbledore's secret weapon," the two girls said together.
