"On my signal, unleash Hell" ~ Russell Crowe in "Gladiator"
A copy of the Daily Prophet rustled nosily as Blackfoot read out loud a frightening story, which she wasn't making up, or exaggerating like she had a habit of doing.
" ' The magical community must remain clam, even though these are hard times, we must be careful, we don't know who is on our side and who's on the other...." Her voice dropped to a low whisper as she read the most startling part of the paper. " Oh no."
" What, what is it?" A first year girl asked, eyes wide.
" The Ministry is recruiting 7th years to join the army of wizards to help fight." Blackfoot said. Silence followed for a few minutes, then Blackfoot got up, put down the paper, and walked out of the common room and over to Professor Mcgonagall's office.
Talons and Rapsidy wondered what she was up to so they followed .
" Professor?" Blackfoot asked, knocking on the Head of Gyrffindor's door.
Mcgonagall opened the door, looking grave and depressed. " Yes, Weasely?"
" I've come here to tell you that, I'm willing to join Dumbledore's side, and to help fight Voldemort." Blackfoot said, in a severe voice.
Mcgonagall looked shocked. " Oh, my, my do you know if your parents will mind?"
" They won't care, trust me. Dad'll make me join if I'm not careful enough." Blackfoot lied.
" All right, I'll send an owl to Fudge that you're willing to join." Mcgonagall said, Blackfoot was about to walk out of the room when..
" One more thing Weasely, thank you."
" Sure." Blackfoot said, sighing, she knew Rapsdy and Talons where going to be ticked off once she told them. Blackfoot walked out the door.
" What am I doing?" Blackfoot asked herself.
" Exactly what we want to know. What were you doing?" Talons asked.
" You'll see later." Blackfoot said.
" What wrong?" Rapsidy asked. " And don't say ' that's for me to know' because I won't buy, now tell me, what did you do?"
Blackfoot sighed, the letter saying that she was now part of the war, was in her hand, as it came in Mcgonagall's office.
" I'll show you in the common room." said Blackfoot, lying through her teeth again.
In the common room...
" Okay we're in the common room, now tell us." Talons said.
Blackfoot showed them the letter.
" WHY ARE YOU IN THE ARMY?!" Rapsidy shouted.
" Because, I'm doing this to gain my family's trust again, they're still mad at me for broom flying without a license."
" So, you think that you'll get back to your family, by getting yourself killed?!" Talons said.
" That's a chance I'll have to take." Blackfoot said coldly. She grabbed a small bag stuffed in some clothes and the letter and Apperated out of the room and over to the training base Knowing that she had just made the biggest mistake of her life.
