As I was going, I saw harry already in the hall with ron. His face was back to normal. On the other side of the room, I saw hermione being held by that black lady. I just realised she was Bellatrix. I know her, how can I forget that she was the one who killed Neville's parents. I quietly went towards harry's side when someone yelled from behind and I suddenly became visible.

My eyes were widened. I saw the person who did it to find Lucius Malfoy. How does he know about this spell? "Lynn what are you doing here?" Ron whispered, he stood beside me. I looked over at Mr Malfoy who smirked at me. "Do you really think you can wander at my own house and I won't know?" I glared at him. "Leave my friends alone" I said angrily.

"I have my job only with harry potter, you will be taken care after him" He said, still smirking. My eyes went over at draco who just stood there, then at hermione who was wincing in pain and then at other two boys who stood beside me, glaring at them.

"Leave her, why don't you take me? I am also a mudblood" I said to Bellatrix. Draco's eyes were widened, he looked at me. "What the hell are you doing?" Ron whispered to me. "Bellatrix leave hermione. Instead take me" I said. She looked at me, still smiling madly. She suddenly left hermione. And came towards me with her wand pointed at me.

"You are kinda interesting girl, I see!" She said. I kept glaring at her. "Leave her Bellatrix" Harry said. Suddenly the chandelier fell, stopping Bellatrix from doing anything to me. Hermione ran towards us in between. I saw dobby.

"Lynn let's go" Ron yelled at me. I looked at him and then glanced at draco for a second. He mouthed 'go'. I tearfully looked at him and then apparated with others. I looked around, not to find my friends. How can this be possible that I apparated with them but I am at some other place? I looked around to see where I was and I found myself in my room. It's my Gryffindor room.

How did I reached hogwarts? As I got up, I was hugged by someone. I realised it was ginny. "Lynn, are you alright? How did you came here?" I am also trying to find the answer how I reached here. "Gin are you alright?" I said, calming her down.

"I am alright, I am totally fine-" "Doesn't seem like that" She looked down. I faintly smiled and hugged her. Then we went outside. I put on my uniform. As I went outside I met with others. They had their eyes widened, seeing me there. "Lynn what are you doing here?" They all had the same question.

"I am here to help you all" That's the only thing which came in my mind and slowly everyone hugged me. "What happened to your face Neville?" I asked, worried. "Just nothing, Hogwarts is worse now" He replied. "What happened here?" I asked them.

"You will see" Seamus replied. It was the time for lunch and I went with others to the Great Hall. My eyes were widened when I saw Professor Snape sitting on the seat of Headmaster Dumbledore. Did he became the headmaster? I saw some unfamiliar faces.

As I was going towards my table, I was stopped by someone. "Wait right there" I flinched and turned towards the person. "Who are you? I have never seen you here before. How dare you to enter the school without the headmaster's permission?" I looked at Professor Snape who as always had a cold expression. He said nothing.

"Ms Barron, you can sit at your table" Professor McGonagall said. I bitterly smiled at her. "Who was that man?" I asked my classmates. "He is Amycus Carrow, the professor of DADA" Neville replied. "Is he the reason of your injuries?" He nodded. I glared at him and then at Professor Snape.

After the lunch, I went to the his office. "Professor Snape how can you do this?" I yelled at him to find the same man there. "How dare you yell at the headmaster? Don't you have any manners? Should I teach you some?" He said. I glared at him. "Mr Carrow, please leave, I know how to handle her" Professor Snape said. That man left and then I glared at Professor Snape.

"What do you want to say, Ms Barron?" I chuckled sarcastically. "What do I want to say you ask? What is going on here? Why are you doing this? I agree that Professor Dumbledore planned his death by you, and I wasn't against of what you did but how can you turn your own school a mess? How did you became the headmaster?"

"If these are your doubts then Miss Barron you can leave. It's time for your potions class"

"Aren't you going to teach that?"

"Lynn, even though you know everything, that doesn't mean you can talk with me like this" I glared at him and then left his office.

After my potions class, it was DADA so i went to the class only to find that man again. He smirked at me and i returned a glare. I went to Ginny and others. My eyes went on Slytherin table and i found Draco there too. When did he came here? I hadn't even realised it.

"So today we are going to learn how to do the cruciatus curse" I widened my eyes. Isn't this class Defense against Dark Arts? So why is he teaching us the unforgivable curse?

"Excuse me, this is Defense against Dark Arts class so why are you teaching us the unforgivable curse?" He looked at me with a wierd look and then started laughing. "You do nice jokes, little girl. Don't you know this class is Dark Arts not Defense against Dark Arts" I was completely shocked.

"But that's illegal" I yelled. "You can't tell me what's illegal or not. I am the professor and you are just a student so keep your mouth shut" I glared at him angrily.

"You are saying too much why don't you try a curse?" I widened my eyes when he grabbed a first year student from our house. "Use the cruciatus curse on him" He demanded. "Are you mad?? He is an innocent kid, how can you ask such a horrible thing to do to an innocent"

"You dare to use that tone against me. Is there any student who wants to use a cruciatus curse against this boy?" I looked at others, draco who looked at me with worried eyes, but i ignored him. If he had courage, he would have stopped at the beginning only.

"I can do that" Crabbe said with a smirk. I glared at him. "No. If you have so problem with me then why don't you use that spell on me instead of that kid?" I said to Carrow. "Okay then if you want that" He said in a casual tone.

"Crucio!" Crabbe yelled and i fell on the floor with a thud, I winced in pain. I felt my whole body burning. My whole body was paining. "Stop it!" I recognised the voice and looked up to see Draco. He had stopped Crabbe from torturing me.

"Why Draco? This girl has been on everyone's nerves, she needs some lesson" He continued to torture me. I somehow took all the pain. The class was over. As I stumbled, I somehow went out of my class. The same first year boy came to me. "Thank you for saving me" He said, I sat down. "It's okay, I won't like if someone's being tortured in front of me then I will do anything to save that person" I said, he smiled and went with his friends.

I got up but I suddenly felt pain. I stumbled and was about to fall but then someone saved me. I looked at the person to see the tall blonde boy. I avoided his eyes. He pulled me into a hug. I was shocked but then i melted into his embrace and hugged him tightly.

"Please don't ever do such thing again. Do you even know how hurt I felt to see you in pain?"

"I had to do that, I can't let him torture first years" I said to him, he looked at me then caresses my face and kissed my forehead. "But still don't do that again, I.."

"Why didn't you stopped earlier then?" I asked him making him look at me with guilt. "I am sorry..i just can't stop him..or else he might reach out my father"

"Are you saying you are scared to do so?"
