Umbridge had the Horcrux, nobody slept well that night with that thought on their minds. They were up all night discussing it. Hermione eventually suggests they disguise themselves as workers using Polyjuice Potion. The next day, they were walking through the streets of London, looking for Ministry workers. At the moment all they needed is Hermione's person. She was a dirty blonde, hair up in a tight bun. Purple work clothes Hermione pretended to be looking for something in her bag as Ron tied his shoe. As she passed, Harry stunned her and dragged her back to a building with the rest. Hermione pulled the hairs of each person and then put them in individual flasks.

" Right, remember what we said. Don't speak to anyone unless absolutely necessary. Just.....try and act normal, to what everyone else is doing. If we do that then with a bit of luck we'll get inside. Then-" Hermione began.

" It gets tricky," Harry finished.

" This is mental," Ron muttered.

" Completely," Harry and Hermione agreed.

"The words mental". Ron said. " Come one..we've got a Horcrux to find". Each of them changed into their person. They had to flush themselves down a toilet to get to the Ministry. Harry and Ron went to the men's room while Hermione went to the girl's room. Harry soon found Hermione standing by the fountain staring at it. The fountain had a terrible sight of Muggles being crushed by the boulder.

" Are those-" Harry began.

" Muggles," Hermione continued. " In their rightful place".

" I've got to tell you. I'm starting to freak out a bit," Ron admitted.

" How long did you say the Polyjuice Potion would last Hermione? " Harry asked.

" I didn't," she answered. They walked into a lift. Before the doors closed a man stepped between the closing door and began to talk to Ron. The man was Yaxley.

" Cattermole," he said to Ron. Ron looked at him a bit nervous.

"It's still raining in my office. It's two days now".

" Have you tried an umbrella? " Ron suggested.

" You do realize I'm going downstairs, don't you. Cattermole? " Yaxley asked.

" Downstairs? " Ron asked.

" To interrogate your wife," the man growled. " Now, if my suggestion is correct, the Head of Department needed a job doing. I think I'd just make that priority. You have one hour," Yaxley warned before stepping out of the lift. The three of them grabbed a handle for support as it moved.

" Oh my god. What am I going to do? My wife is all alone downstairs," Ron panicked.

" Ron, you don't have a wife," Harry reminded him.

" Oh right," Ron sighed.

" Level Two," the lift said stopping.

" But how do I stop it raining? " Ron asked.

" Try Finite Incantatum," Hermoine suggested. The lift door opened. " This is you, Ron". He reluctantly stepped out.

" Finite Incantatum. Okay. And if that doesn't work? " Ron asked. Before Hermione could respond, the lift closed and left him.

" I say if we don't find Umbridge within the hour, we go find Ron and come back another day deal? " Harry suggested.

" Yes," Hermione agreed. The lift door opened revealing none other than Umbridge herself. When she saw them she smiled.

" Ah, Mafalda. Tracks sent you didn't he? Good, we'll go straight down," Umbridge said stepping onto the lift, it didn't move. " Albert, aren't you getting out? " Slowly, Harry stepped out of the lift, he turned to see the horrified look on Hermione's face as the lift moved. Harry walked into a room full of witches and wizards.

" Rankhorn," a man greeted passing by. There was a door in the middle of the room, the place on the door read ' Dolores Umbridge Senior Under Secondary to the Minister'. Harry noticed in the hole of the door, was Mad-Eye Moody's eye. There was a second place underneath it, which read ' Head of Muggleborn Registration Commission'. Harry secretly dropped dung bombs onto the floor. They multiplied and ran under a table. It was quiet at first, then the dung bombs made fart noises and let out thick green smelly gas. It allowed Harry to slip inside the office.

" Accio locket," Harry said once he closed the door. Nothing. Harry began to rummage through her files, he found Hermione's information labeled as a threat. He spent a few more minutes, no luck finding the locket. When he walked out the people looked at him causing a man to turn around.

" Rankhorn," the man said sounding surprised. Harry left without saying a word. Harry went back onto the lift, before it moved Ron stepped on soaking wet.

" Morning," he mumbled.

" Ron, it's me," Harry whispered as the lift started moving.

" Harry! Blimey! I forgot what you looked like," Ron said. " Where's Hermione? "

" They've gone down to the courtrooms, with Umbridge," Harry explained. The lift took them to the courtroom, figuring that's Umbridge had the locket. When they got there, the room was cold and had a depressing feeling to it. Harry looked up to see Dementors, staring down at them. Umbridge sat in the judge's chair, as a frightened woman sat in a chair below her. Umbridge's Patronus as a cat roamed around Umbridge.

" Mary Elizabeth Cattermole? " Umbridge asked the woman.

" Yes," She answered.

" Of twenty-seven Chislehurst Gardens. Great Tolling Evesham? " Umbridge asked.

" Yes," the woman repeated. Harry heard a hissing sound in his ears.

" It's here," Harry whispered to Ron.

" Mother of Macy, Ellie, and Alfred? " Umbridge asked. " Wife to Reginal ". Mary looked over to them, she spoke when she saw Ron.

" Reg? " She asked. Harry pushed Ron forward.

" Thank you, Albert," Umbridge nodded before turning attention back to Mary. " Mary Elizabeth Cattermole? "

" Yes," Mary answered.

" A wand has been taken from you upon your arrival at the Ministry today, Ms. Cattermole, is this that wand? " " Umbridge asked holding up a wand., Mary nodded. Harry began to slowly move forward. " Would you please tell the court from which witch or wizard you took from? "

" I didn't take it. I got it from Diagon Alley, at Ollivanders when I was eleven. It chose me," Mary said.

" Your lying. Wands only choose witches and you are not a witch," Umbridge stated glaring at Mary.

" But I am. Tell them Reg, tell them what I am," Mary cried. Harry slowly began to forward towards Umbridge. " Reg, tell them, that I am". Harry took his wand out of his pocket, Umbridge looked at him oddly.

" Albert, what on earth are you doing? " Umbridge asked.

" Your lying Dolores," Harry said as he began to change. " And one must not tell lies-Stupefy! " The spell hit Umbridge square in the chest. The court rose to their feet confused. Hermione grabbed the locket and threw it to Harry. She grabbed Mary's wand and gave it to her. Harry caught the locket and put on his glasses. Everyone was changed back, except Ron.

" It's Harry Potter," Mary breathed.

" It is isn't it? This'll be a fun story to tell the kids," Ron said sarcastically. They began to run when the Dementors escaped. The court began to chase them, shooting spells at them. They stopped at the lift before the doors closed. The Dementors reached them and began to suck at them.

" Expecto Patronum! " Harry shouted. The Dementors went away. Finally, the lift began to move. Soon they exited the lift hoping to not get noticed. Ron stopped to talk to Mary.

" Mary go home. Get the kids. I'll meet you there, we have to go out of the country, you understand? " Ron asked her. " Mary do as I say". Mary kissed him, just as Ron turned back. When she pulled back she was surprised to see Ron. 

" Mary? " Her actual husband asked showing up. " Who's that? "

" Long story. Nice meeting you," Ron greeted. He ran to catch up to his friends.

" It's Harry Potter! It's Harry Potter! " A man shouted. All eyes were glued to them. They began running as spells were shot at them, and they shot spells back. The chimneys were beginning to close. Harry was the first to dove into an open one followed by the others. Once they landed Harry looked over and saw Hermione hysterical as Ron twitched making sounds of pain and bleeding.

" Ron, calm down," Hermione soothed. " Harry! Quickly my bag! " Harry ran over to it and rummaged through it.

" Shh, shh," Hermione soothed.

" Accio bottle," Harry said. The bottle came to his hand, he quickly walked over to Hermione.

" Alright, umm stopper it! " Hermione ordered.

" Hermione, umm," Harry began when he saw Ron.

" Just do it! " Hermione snapped taking the bottle from him. " It's going to sting a little bit". Hermione began putting the liquid on his arm, it began to smoke and heal.

" What happened? " Harry asked. " I thought we were meant to go to the Grimmauld Place".

" We were," Hermione began.  She continued to fix Ron's arm, he had stopped twitching."  We were, we were, but Yaxley had hold of him, I knew he'd seen where we were, we couldn't stay so I brought us here. But Ron got splinted". She gave Ron one more drop of the liquid. She got up to up protective charms as Harry set up the tent.

*****

At the Malfoy Manor, Cortney was in the living room reading the daily prophet. She had her feet up and was eating grapes. In the distance, she heard her mother yelling at Yaxley.

" HOW COULD YOU LET HIM GET AWAY ?! YOU IDIOT! " Her mother hissed.

" I was very close! " Yaxley argued. " I know where they were hiding for a bit! " 

" And where was that? " Bellatrix asked.

" Grimmauld Place," Yaxley answered. " Which doesn't matter. Cause they are no longer there".

" IDIOT ! " Bellatrix hissed.

" I don't see you or your daughter doing anything to help! "  Yaxley shouted.

" I actually do a lot more than you," Bellatrix said. " My daughter is to be giving birth to a baby. That will be raised the in the presence of the Dark Lord with my baby". 

" Leave this house," Cortney heard Uncle Lucius order. Cortney heard the door open and close. Not too much longer her mother and Aunt Nacrissa appeared in the room.

" You do a lot for the Dark Lord," Aunt Nacrissa assured her. " What Yaxely said isn't true".

" You are doing us a huge honor of having a baby," her mother told her. " I will be right aside you, with your new sibling," her mom kissed her forehead.

" Thank you," Cortney said smiling. " I feel like I'm not doing much, but I know this baby is very important to the Dark Lord for some odd reason".

" Probably glad to have a pureblood continue pureblood bloodlines," her mother shrugged. Cortney smiled at them. On the inside, she knew the child was going to be a Half-Blood. She told them they partied really hard in Slytherin one night. A lot of drinking and she doesn't know the after. They accepted the facts.

" Now I know it's early...but would you like to have a baby shower ?" Aunt Nacrissa asked.

" Can I invite my old roommates in Slytherin? " Cortney asked excitedly.

" Of course sweetheart," her mother answered. " Who were your roommates once again? "

" Pansy Parkinson aka my best friend," Cortney began.

" And Draco's ex," Aunt Nacrissa reminded her.

" Draco doesn't have to be there," Cortney huffed. Both of the women laughed.

" Millicent Bulstrode, Daphne Greengrass, Tracy, and Kierra Fletcher, but she changed her last name to Stevens since her mum changed her last name to her maiden name," Cortney explained and listed. 

" I can make arrangements," Aunt Nacrissa laughed. " Think about it more and we'll set a date".
