Chapter 1- There Is Hope

"Just tell us who the culprits are" said Pius.

Mabel had looked around as though she were mad. There are three girls sitting behind the accused benches, one nicknamed Angel looked to her; she had grey eyes, pale skin, blonde hair sorted into two ponytails one on each side of her head, and she often wore fighting dresses.

Then she looked to the one sitting next to her, who was Lotus;grey eyes looking almost black, silky black hair, light brown skin, and wore tight fighting clothing. No one knew of Lotus' real name, so it remained a mystery.

Lastly, she looked at the one next to Lotus. Her nickname was Cora;she had blue eyes, pale skin, blonde curly hair the came down her back, and she wore fighting dresses with tights.

"Answer correctly, and you will not go with them" Lucius had said to Mabel.

Mabel then shut her eyes.

"She's going to" whispered Cora.

"She wouldn't" said Angel.

"You say that now" mumbled Lotus.

"It was Cora, Angel, and Lotus" said Mabel.

"YOU BITCH" yelled Cora going for Mabel.

"Cora" said Angel going after Cora.

"I should cut your tongue out" said Cora choking Mabel.

"Please, Cora...it's me, Mabel" said Mabel.

"You aren't Mabel anymore Granger! You're nothing, but a low down traitor" said Cora as the aura's had grabbed her, and pulled her off.


5 months later

Cora, Angel, and Lotus sat on the benches in the enchanted room in the Dungeons, appearing as though there was actually light. Other prisoners were playing games, Cora and Angel then heard a familiar sound.

The sound of a soft voice speaking outside the gate.

"I hope she isn't here to see us" said Lotus.

"Are you alright Cora" asked Angel looking at Cora, who was squinting her eyes towards the gates.

"Is that a coffin" asked Cora.

Angel and Lotus turned their attention to where Cora was looking, and then over the loud speaker came "Prisoners eight hundred and forty three, eight hundred- forty four, and eight hundred forty-nine please come to the office at once" said a dainty voice.

"I never thought I'd hear Umbridge speaking our numbers, did you Lotus" asked Cora.

"No, I find it rather suspicious" said Lotus.

"The only way we'll find out is by going to the office" said Angel hopping off the bench, and facing her friends.

Lotus followed behind Angel, after she'd gotten up. Cora reluctantly got up from the bench, and followed Lotus and Angel.

"I've come to inform you three of the death of one of our friends" said a voice coming from a hooded figure.

"Oh thank-" "Lower your hood" Cora stated, interrupting Angel.

The figure's hands were shaking, as she lowered the hood.

"Why Granger, it's been so long since we've seen you" said Cora.

"I understand you are not glad to see me-" "I'm infuriated by the sound of your heart still beating" said Cora interrupting Hermione.

"Cora, come on...let's here her out" said Angel.

"Will that be, before or after we gut her like a fish" asked Lotus looking at Hermione.

"Ladies, please" came a voice from the shadows, then a man came into the light.

"Look Lotus, the Minister" said Cora.

"We've only come to inform you of a death of your friend Dalianna" said Pius.

"Pardon" said Angel, now looking slightly angry.

"Young Dalianna had a run in, with quite a few snatchers...unfortunately she's dead" said Pius.

"Unfortunately" said Cora.

Pius waved his hand in front of the coffin, and the lid popped open revealing a sheet covering. Hermione went to it hesitantly, and then unveiled what was underneath it.

"Dalia" said Lotus seeming to have been struck with a wave of disbelief.

"Now, I know this may be hard to accept-" "You allowed this to happen" yelled Cora pointing her finger at Hermione.

"Me-" "Yes, you went and said we destroyed the muggle village...they were after Dalia, and you said you were the brains of the group" said Cora.

"I-I didn't know" said Hermione.

"Leave, you have no right to even call Dalia a friend after what you did" said Lotus.

Hermione left along with Pius, and the three friends all looked to the pale face of their dead friend.

"They'll pay, I'll make sure of it" said Cora turning around, and beginning to walk.

"Where are you going" asked Angel.

"To get ready for the funeral" said Cora.
"We should follow her" said Angel to Lotus.

Lotus still seemed slightly stunned.

"Lotus" said Angel.

"Oh, right...let's go" said Lotus following after Angel.

After they'd all gotten ready, and had gathered they stood looking at the coffin being buried into the ground. The readings muffled by the rain, Cora was more distant then the rest. Seating herself on a boulder underneath a tree, away from the rain.

"But there will always be hope, when all else fails...look to those who surround you, and learn from your mistakes" said the man.

It goes to where Lotus is standing looking at the coffin being lowered into the ground.

"Aye, Ms. Silent...we've got to go, we're going to Hogsmeade" Dalia had said.

"Why go again? None of us ever get our slips signed anyway" said Lotus.
"I know a secret passage" Dalia said mischievously.

Then it was to Angel staring as they began to put the dirt onto the coffin.

"I bet you, if you flipped your hair more often you'd have that guy you've been obsessing over already" said Dalia.

"I don't believe if constant hair flipping, especially since I have ponytails" said Angel.

"Oh come on, your adorable side-tails aren't stopping you from flipping your hair" said Dalia.

Finally, on the boulder far away and distant was Cora. She stared down at the scene, from the high place she sat on the hill.

"Nothing so bad, you have to fight" said Dalia.

"I beat up Parkinson, those Slytherins won't mess with me anymore...I hate Slytherins" said Cora.

"I know a Slytherin killed our older sister, but we shouldn't hurt them" said Dalia.

"Well, somebody needs to be punished...and at the moment, it will be Parkinson" said Cora.

Back at the coffin, the dirt continued to cover it. They each sat in separate cars, Cora sits in her car being driven by a man in a hat. Then the man in the passenger seat is Pius.

"You, and your friends would've been better off leaving the Death Eaters alone" said Pius.

"You're right Minister" said Cora.

"I'm sure if you're good over the next week or so, you'll be let out early" said Pius.

"Of course...but you know something Minister" said Cora.

"What" asked Pius.

"I never do learn my lesson" said Cora taking out a knife, and stabbing the driver.

"Coraline" said Pius.

"Au revoir, Minister" said Cora braking the back seat's back window, and hopping out of it.

A popping sound comes from the car, and then the car explodes. Cora places up her hood, and conjures up a long thin briefcase.

"Hello my baby, did you miss me" asked Cora taking a sword out from the briefcase.

In A different language, single letters went down the sword. First an H, then a E, then a L, then another L, then a F, then another E, then a A, then a T, then another H, then a third E, and lastly a R. Spelling out the word; HELLFEATHER.

"I did miss you" said Cora, then placing the sword in a holder on her back.

She snapped her fingers, and her combat clothing popped onto her.

"Wonder how well Lotus, and Angel did" said Cora to herself as she walked down the hill that was going to lead to the Prison.

From where Cora could see, there were two cars coming. They weren't close by each other, but they were coming to the dungeons.

Next, Angel sat in the car with her hands tied behind her back. She, however didn't have to do much besides bang on the back seat door until she fell out and began to roll out and down a hill.

At the bottom of the hill was supposed to be poison ivy, but was changed by a spell to pillows.

"What would you do without me" said Cora.

"Just untie me" said Angel.

Last, but not least was Lotus who sat in the back of another car and her hands tied behind her back. She also had a cloth tied over her mouth, but she'd gotten the rope around her feet loose and had made it so she could choke the drive. While she sprayed the pepper spray in the face of the passenger; which she'd hidden in her bra for the longest of their time in the prison.

As the driver stopped breathing, and the passenger continued to hold his eyes. Lotus opened the door, and was about to get out when the passenger grabbed her foot. Which she then kicked him in his nose, and while he gripped his nose. Lotus hopped out of the car, and when the passenger looked forward the car crashes into the one Angel had been in.

"Damn Lotus" said Cora once she'd untied the rope around Lotus' hands.

"What did you do anyway, to cause that much damage" asked Angel.

"Choked the driver with my legs" said Lotus getting the cloth from around her head, to cover her mouth.

"What caused them to tie you up like that" asked Angel.

"The passenger tried to touch me, and I slapped him" said Lotus.

"Well you sure showed them" said Cora.

"Did you use all your pepper spray" asked Angel to Lotus.

"The passenger wasn't letting go" said Lotus.

"You think they'll have some Death Eaters coming down" asked Cora.

"If we're lucky" said Angel taking out her gun.

"Oh, how I love grand beginnings" said Cora.
