The next O.W.L was History of magic and I had my potions exam. I found Harry after I was done my exam with Hermione and Ron. Apparently Harry had fallen asleep during his O.W.L. and he had a dream that Voldemort  was torturing Sirius in the Department of Mysteries. He was in a panic talking Hermione that he had to go there but Hermione was skeptical.

"Harry You-know-who may be trying to lure you into the department, it could be a trap," she said.

"No... We have to go now. Hermione he could be dead he's the only family I have left other than Eliza fine if you won't help me I'll do it myself," he said as he started to march away.

At this point Ginny and Luna arrived and we explained what had happened. They immediately offered to help whatever way they could.

"Harry listen it's just I don't want you to get hurt or caught or killed," said Hermione seriously. "How about this we use the fire in Umbridges office to check if he's at headquarters then if he's not there I will do anything I can to help you... Please!" Said Hermione practically begging Harry.

"I'm with Hermione," I said. " we should check Harry you know I love Sirius to but still it could be a trap you know-" I fell down and tried to resist a oncoming dream. Close my mind, close my mind, close-

"Let's see if you'll talk after this-" said Voldemort.

"I'll never talk- ARGHHH," screamed Sirius as he was overcome with pain.

"Where is it?" Asked Voldemort.

"No," screamed Sirius as he slumped forwards.

"Sirius!" I screamed as I woke up.

"Hurry up we have to go now we need to check the fire how can we check the fire-" I screamed as I breathed heavily. Everyone was staring at me as I stood up.

"It's impossible to get in there," said Ron.

"Well the thing is... When you live with Fred and George... You get to thinking... anything is possible if you've got enough nerve," said Ginny with a smile.

"Ron you can create a distraction, me and Luna will guard the hall, you Hermione and Eliza will go into Umbridges," said Ginny as we planned.

"Okay, I'll tell her Peeves is smashing up the transfiguration department its miles away from her office. Come to think of it, I might actually tell him to if I meet him on the way," said Ron.

"Good," said Hermione to Ron.

"We'll tell people that someone's set off a load of Garroting gas down the hall," said Ginny looking to Luna and then Hermione.

Hermione looked extremely surprised at how fast Ginny said that  so fast without a thought about it.

"Fred and George were planning on doing it before they left," she said with a shrug.

"Harry, Hermione and me will go under the cloak into the office," I said.

"Right, well even if we do everything, I don't think that'll buy us more than five minutes at most-" said Hermione.

"Five minutes is plenty of time," said Harry. "Come on let's go," said Hermione.

"What?! Now," shrieked Hermione.

"Yes now," I said.

"Hermione Sirius is being tortured RIGHT NOW-" screamed Harry.

"I- all right Harry go grab the cloak," said Hermione.

"We'll meet you in the end of Umbridges hallway," I said.

Harry was back minutes after he left.

"Got it, ready then?" He said as he got in our tiny circle with us.

"Alright you guys all go and start tipping people off and away, Ron find Umbridge, we have to wait till the coast is clear," Hermione said and with that the other three left and we got under the cloak. I squeezed Harry's hand tightly and smiled slightly. I was also extremely nervous about Sirius.

"Harry, are you sure you're okay you still look pale," said Hermione as she turned towards us.

"I'm fine," said Harry.

"Are you?" Asked Hermione towards me.

"Perfect," I said though it was a lie. I was still shaking slightly and my heart was beating out of my chest from nerves.

We heard Ginny convincing some people about the gas. We moved past Ginny and Hermione whispered.

"Good one... Don't forget the signal," and we walked on.

"What's the signal?" Asked Harry.

"A loud chorus of Weasley is Our King," said Hermione.

Harry put Sirius's knife in the crack of the door and it cracked open. We walked inside and saw Umbridges office. The creepy kittens on plates all watched us enter. Harry pulled the cloak off of all of us.

" I'll stay by the door you guys talk to Sirius- if he's there," said Hermione obviously seeing Harry's rage between the gap of words.

"Harry get it set up," I said as I looked around the window.

Harry got floo powder put it in the fire and as emerald green flames shot up he shoved his head into the fire and shouted "number twelve Grimmuland place,"

"No ones here," said Harry.

"Where's Sirius Kreacher?" Said Harry madly.

"Where's he gone? Where is he?" Harry yelled. I stuck my head into the fire and looked at the house elf. He looked very happy.

Kreacher was laughing.

"I'm warning you Kreacher! What about madeye? Lupin? Anyone?" Bellowed Harry. I was panicking now as I watched Kreacher we were running out of time.

"No one here except Kreacher," said the elf with a happy laugh.

"Where is he?" I said angrily as the elf walked away from us.

"Master does not tell poor Kreacher where he goes," the elf.

"But you know!" Screamed Harry.

"Master will not come back from the Department of Mysteries," said Kreacher laughing.

The elf ran away.

Harry was about to scream and I could tell but then I felt something pull me back from the fire. I looked back and saw Umbridge staring down at Harry and myself as she dragged us from the fire.

"You think that after two nifflers I would let another foul creature enter my office without my knowledge?" She said maliciously. She was pulling my hair back so much that I was staring at the ceiling.

"Take his wand, hers to, and hers!" She barked at someone.

Someone reached in my robes and pulled my wand out of my chest pocket. I heard a noise near the door and knew Hermione was struggling to keep her wand.

"I want to know why you were in my office?" Said Umbridge as she let go of me and threw me backwards but grabbed the front of my robes and held me still. I watched as she questioned Harry.

"I want to know why you were in my office?" Said Umbridge as she gripped Harry's hair tighter. It looked painful and I winced slightly.

"I-" said Harry it seemed like he was struggling to breath. I ran forward to try to help him but Umbridge pushed me back. "Not now missy," she said.

"I was trying to get my firebolt," said Harry.

"Liar!" Shouted Umbridge. "Your fire bolt is under strict guard in the dungeons as you know full and well Mr. Potter. You had your heads in the fire with whom were you communicating?" She said now looking at me slightly and gripping my robes so tight that I was standing on my toes.

"No one-" said Harry I saw him try to pull away from her.

"Lies!" She bellowed. Umbridge threw Harry against the desk and turned towards me. I looked and saw Hermione pinned against the wall by Millicent Bulstrode. A Slytherin girl who was big and burly.

A large commotion sounded from outside and a few Slytherins entered the room each gripping Ron, Ginny, Luna and surprisingly Neville who was held by Crabbe in a stranglehold and looked like he was near suffocation. All of them had been gagged definitely.

"Got them all," said Warrington as he shoved Ron through the doorway.

"That one," he pointed a finger at Neville. "Tried to stop me from taking her," he pointed a finger at Ginny. She was trying to kick a large Slytherin girl in the shins who was holding her. "So I brought him along too," he said.

"Good, good," said Umbridge pleasantly. She watched Ginny struggle before saying "Well, it looks like Hogwarts will soon be a Weasley-free zone?" With a laugh. Draco laughed too.

"Or Umbridge free," I muttered. The other six of us laughed. Umbridge looked like she would strangle me right there.

"So Potters you stationed people to distract me so that you could talk to someone. Clearly it was important, who was it? Was it Albus Dumbledore? Or maybe it was The breed Hagrid or Minerva Mcgonagal but I hear she's still to I'll to talk to anyone?" She said I glared at her as she motioned for a Slytherin who had just entered to take me. It was a boy and he put his hand around my neck and almost strangled me. I kicked him as much as I could but it was no use, stuggling only made it harder to breath.

"It's none of your business who I talk to," said Harry.

"Very well I offered you the chance to speak freely Draco fetch Professor Snape," she said in a falsely sweet voice. Draco left the room sneering.

I stared at everyone around me. Rons lip was dripping blood onto the carpet as he struggled,Ginny was trying to stomp on the feet of the girl who held her arms behind her, Neville was growing more purple as he pulled at the arms of Crabbe, Hermione was trying to throw Millicent off her, Luna stood limply at the side of her person and stared at the window looking bored. I reached my arm ad the person behind me and tried to punch them but I failed again and he grabbed my arms. Harry stood being held by Umbridge.

"You wanted to see me Headmistress," said Snape as he looked at all of us struggling indifferently. I took this as a chance to fight and bit the arm of my person as hard as I could. I heard a gasp but nothing else as the person hit my chin and I bit my lip with my mouth from the suddenness of this action . It was bleeding.

"I would like another bottle of veritaserum as quick as you can please," she said as she glanced at Harry.

"You took my last bottle to interrogate potter. Surely you didn't use it all I told you three drops would be enough?" Said Snape.

"You can make more cant you?" Said Umbridge sweetly.

"Certainly it takes one full moon cycle to mature so I'll have it ready for you in a month," said Snape.

"A month? I need to interrogate potter now I've just find him talking to some person in my fire!" Bellowed Umbridge angrily.

"I have already told you that I have none. Unless you wish to poison potter- which I assure you I have the greatest sympathies with you if you do- I cannot help you. The problem is most venoms act to fast for much truth telling," said Snape.

"You are on probation! You are being deliberately unhelpful!" Shrieked Umbridge and Snape left without a word.

"He's got Padfoot! He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden!" Screamed Harry at Snape.

"Padfoot? What is Padfoot? Where it it? What does he mean Snape?" Asked Umbridge hopefully.

"I have no idea," said Snape as he left the room. Wether he knew what we were taking about or not we'll never know but he definitely knew who Padfoot was.

"Crabbe loosen your grip on Longbottom a bit if you suffocate him it will be a lot of tedious paperwork, and I'm afraid I will have to mention it in your references," said Umbridge.

"Very well, very well. I am left with no alternative... this is more than just a measure of school discipline.. Yes, this is a issue of ministry security........ Yes, yes," muttered Umbridge as she twiddled her wand in her fingers and paced around the room.

"The cruciatus curse ought to loosen your younger Mr. Potter," said Umbridge.

"No professor it's illegal," shrieked Hermione.

"What Cornelius doesn't know won't kill him-" said Umbridge.

"He never knew I ordered dementors after Potter last summer but he certainly was delighted at the chance to expell him," said Umbridge.

"It was you?" I shouted breathing heavily and trying to run toward her but I was still being chocked.

"Somebody had to act," breathed Umbridge.

"Cru-" she shouted.

"No-" screamed Hermione. "No Harry Harry we have to tell her!" Hermione shouted in a cracked voice.

"No way!" Shouted Harry.

"We have to Harry... She'll force it out of you anyway-" Hermione winked at me. I suddenly realized what she was doing. "What's... What the point?" She breathed.

And with that Hermione began to cry weakly into the back of the big girl in front of her robes.

"Well,well,well-" said Umbridge triumphantly as she gestured for Millicent to let Hermione go. She did at once and Hermione took a minute to catch her breath as Umbridge went on "little miss question all is going to give us some answers. Come on then girl, come on!"

"Hermione no!" Said Ron as he got choked. It was barely understandable.

"I'm sorry everyone but I can't stand it!" Sobbed Hermione into her hands.

"That's right girl now who was Potter talking to just now?" Asked Umbridge as she threw Hermione into a chair.

"Well, he was trying to talk to Dumbledore " said Hermione.

Ron froze as he eyes were wide, Ginny stopped trying to stomp on her captors feet, Luna looked pleasantly surprised.

"Dumbledore? You know where Dumbledore is then?" Said Umbridge.

"Well no. We tried the leaky cauldron, and the three broomsticks, even hogshead," sobbed Hermione.

"Idiot girl, Dumbledore wouldn't be sitting in a pub when the whole ministry is looking for him," said Umbridge. She looked very disappointed.

"But we needed to tell him something important," wailed Hermione.

"We wanted to tell him the weapons ready," said Hermione.

"Weapon? You've been developing some sort of resistance? On Dumbledores orders?" Said Umbridge.

"Yes and he had to leave before he could finish it but now we've finished it for him and we needed to tell him," sobbed Hermione.

"What kind of weapon is it?" Asked Umbridge sweetly.

"We don't really understand it we just did what we were told by Dumbledore," she wailed.

"Lead me to the weapon," commanded Umbridge.

"I'm not showing... Them," she said as she pointed through her fingers at the Slytherins.

"Alright- well take just you me and Potter, let's go shall we?" She said and they left the room. We had no clue what to do but suddenly spells flew across the room and the only people left standing were us four.

"Alright," I said as I looked at all of them. "They took the three of our wands let's get them then we'll go find those two and rescue them... If we can find them," I said as I grabbed our wands.

"Everyone alright?" I asked.

"Fine," said Ron.
"Okay," said Neville.
"Yep," said Ginny.
"Wonderful," said Luna.

"Does anyone have any idea where Hermione would have led them?" I asked.

"I saw them head towards the forbidden forest through the window," said Luna airily.

"Alright let's lock them in here," we left the room and I grabbed Harry's cloak and knife. With one last glance we left.

"What's happened why are we in there?" Asked Neville as we walked own the hall towards the staircases.

"Sirius black- Harry's Godfather is being tortured by Voldemort at the Department of Ministries. We had to check if he was in the house... Got caught," said Ginny as she gestured to us. Neville looked slightly confused but was calm and walked with us still. We each had our wands in our pockets and being armed felt much better.

When we got to the entrance of the school we ran across the lawn towards the forest.

"Get behind me," I said.

"No you get behind me," fought Ron.

"No, Ron I'm okay on here," I said.

"I'm older than you its my job to protect you guys Neville take up the back, you three in between us," ordered Ron.

"Oh stop that Ron we can all walk in there just have your wands ready," said Ginny.
