Hey guys, I'm alive! Alright so I know I haven't updated in ages for this story but University has been very stressful this year but I actually completed my first year! Yay! So I will try and complete this story but reviews are always nice to see of course. So at the last point we were at, Jack had been clumsy and had fallen out of the elevator with Star to leave Hermione with Umbridge. Harry and Ron had tried to get rid of the rain in Yaxley's office. I herby give you part 2! Cupcakes to all and I hope you enjoy!

"Oh this is just great. What are we going to do now?!" Jack asked loudly as he paced back and forth.

Star was silent inside his pocket for a moment until she poked her head out the side. Her beady eyes scanned the scene in front of her until she spotted something. She gave Jack a sharp poke in the stomach which made him look down. She then pointed to a long corridor so Jack decided to humour her and start there. After all, things couldn't really get any worse.

After walking for a little bit, the sound of stamping came to his ears. He curiously poked his head into a side door to see many people waving their wands in synchronisation as they filed books onto nearby tables. This seemed a good place to look at least. He then looked over at the table to see what the books were about and to his disgust, saw that they were labelled, "Mudbloods & the Dangers they Pose."

"Ridiculous," Jack muttered and the hiss he heard Star make showed that she clearly agreed. He couldn't really see what else of use could be in here until Star decided to jump out of his pocket and scamper through the room while staying close to the wall.

"Star get back here!" he practically shouted as he chased after her.

Never in his life did he think that he would be chasing a racoon down in the Ministry of Magic. He finally caught up to her to see her jumping up and down while pointing at a door. He looked at it and was delighted to see that the door was the entrance to the office of old toad face. Weirdly enough, he saw an eyeball in the middle of it. It was like a magic version of spy camera and although invisible, Jack didn't want to take any risks. Star saw his look and thought to herself for a moment. She then held up a tiny finger in realisation and reached into her fur and to Jack's astonishment, pulled out a large pink cupcake.

"Should I even ask?" Jack asked but Star shook her head as she then had the bright idea to throw directly into the middle of the room. Nothing happened for a moment until a pink explosion erupted, causing panicked yelled and screams as the people ad books were coated with pink dust. Star then started to kick at the door but it took Jack a while to regain his composure to actually help to open the door.

"Honestly, I'm not sure whether I should question where you pulled that cupcake from," Jack said and Star shook her head with a grin.

As he entered the room his eyes wandered around the room. He quickly pulled out in his wand and pointed it at the room.

"Accio locket!" Jack whispered.

Nothing came to his hand as a result so with a sigh, he put his wand back. He knew that he had to do this the old-fashioned way and started to rummage about in the drawers. Star proceeded to do the same but she didn't bother to be tidy about it. Papers were soon thrown everywhere as well as some china plates. He did hate the cat plates and was happy that Star was destroying them but he needed to focus.

"There must be something here that would be helpful. Anything at all!" Jack said.

Truth be told, he would have preferred to find something that could help with the Guardians location. He then arrived at her desk and started to rummage through the doors. Star quickly came to join him, although her idea of helping involved kicking a tea-cup to the floor. She snickered and turned to Jack to see his reaction but she saw that he was holding some paper's in his hand and he didn't look pleased. He then laid them out on the desk and Star could instantly see why he was upset.

They were profile sheets with the picture of the person taped to the front. One was Sirius Black, one was Dumbledore and then to his horror, was of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Star and himself. Theirs however, didn't have a big crossed on their photo so it's was slightly relieving but he knew that they were being hunted. What horrified him the most was that the Guardians details were also in here. Jack started to shake with anger so much that icicles started to form in the room; so much in fact that Star had to scratch him to get him to focus.

"Sorry. I just…miss them," Jack said quietly.

Star gave him a nod and a small smile which was supposed to assure him and it did a little. She then crawled into his pocket and he carefully put in the sheets with her. They would be useful since there were other people on the hunting list; some being family members of his friends throughout the school. He then left the room, but not without freezing it entirely. After all, he couldn't go without leaving a parting gift. With a little touch of frost of course.

As he closed the door behind him, he saw that everyone was recovering from the explosion but the stain wouldn't leave their clothes, not skin.

"Alright, everyone clam down and get back to work," a loud voice yelled.

"Was this some sort of stupid prank?" someone else shouted.

"Close enough," Jack said with a grin as he left the room.

After getting in the elevator again, he had started to consider his next options. He could try and go down to the court rooms to find Hermione and Umbridge but he was at the risk of being defenceless and having just a racoon wouldn't help either. His thoughts were then interrupted as two men who were practically drenched appeared on the next floor.

"Harry? Ron?" Jack asked in bewilderment.

"Please don't ask," Harry grumbled.

"Thank God jack, glad we found you," Ron said in relief. Star stuck her head out of Jack's pocket and could not help but laugh. Jack had a hard time not laughing too as he knew that the spell hadn't gone so well. Harry didn't look pleased at all and Ron glared at Star.

"Star you can't really laugh at Ron when you're a racoon," Jack said but Star responded with a sharp kick to the stomach which made Jack wheeze a little bit.

"Anyway! Where's Hermione?" Harry asked and Jack winced at this.

"She's gone down to the courtroom…with Umbridge," he said slowly, which made the other two gasp.

"How did you lose her?" Ron asked crossly. Jack thought about this as he didn't want to admit that he had tripped and fell and had let Umbridge get away. He was very pleased that Star couldn't talk about this as she would be teasing him till the end of time.

"I'd rather we focus on finding her right now," Jack said quickly which made Star roll her eyes. Ron was about to question him again but Harry stopped him. This was going to be difficult.

They were now on one of the deepest floors of the Ministry. This brought back memories from their last adventure here. The sleek black tils were as shiny as ever and the fact that it still looked creepy was the finishing touch.

"It's cold down here," Ron mumbled.

"Not me this time," Jack said.

He'd be lying if he said it wasn't nice though. He did have to stop himself from making the room colder as he saw all the innocent people being dragged away by guards. Clearly Umbridge's doing, Jack thought with a scowl.

"Do we have a plan?" Ron asked.

"Not at the moment," Harry admitted.

"So what? We're supposed to improvise?!" Jack practically hissed as he didn't fancy being thrown in jail.

Neither of the boys responded to him though as they were now nearing the opening to a giant courtroom. There were a few people in the wooden stands, including Hermione who looked very nervous. There was a woman sitting on the chair in the centre of the room and was looking at Umbridge, who was on the main seat of the court. There was a luminous cat next to her; a Patronus although Jack was surprised that it wasn't a toad. Star shuddered in his pocket and as he looked to her to see what the matter was, she pointed upwards. The boys all followed her finger and their hearts nearly stopped. On the ceiling behind a shimmering shield, was a swarm of Dementors.

"Okay…that would be a problem," Ron said.

"No, there's an even worse problem," Jack said as he held up his hand which started to shimmer.

"Our potion can't be far behind then," Harry said worriedly.

"Mary Elizabeth Cattermole of 27 Chislehurst Gardens, Great Tolling, Evesham?" Umbridge asked as she looked at the papers in front of her.

"Yes," Mary answered fearfully.

"It's here," Harry said suddenly.

"Are you sure?" Jack asked.

"Mother to Maisie, Ellie and Alfred? Husband of Reginald?" Umbridge asked and that was when all of their eyes locked onto her neck, where they saw the locket haning from her neck.

"Oh brilliant. How are we supposed to get that?" Ron asked.

"That's easy. Star, you know what to do," Jack muttered. At this command, Star scurried out of Jack's pocket and into the stand; her little head popping up occasionally. However, looking back on the room, the eyes had now fallen upon them.

"Reg?" Mary whimpered.

"Imrpovise!" Ron hissed.

"Grab him and insult him!" Jack shot back. Harry was quick to do so and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and almost thrust him into the centre of the room. Ron would have glared at Jack for smirking but now wasn't the time.

"I could have come up with better," Jack said with a grin but this was ignored by his friends.

"Thank you, Albert," Umbridge said as her eyes turned to Mary again.

"Mary Elizabeth Cattermole?" Umbridge questioned.

"Yes?" Mary asked as she gripped the sides of her chair.

"A wand was taken from you upon your arrival of the Ministry Mrs Cattermole. Is this that wand?" she asked as she held a wand up. Mary nodded and Jack hated at how terrified she was thanks to Umbridge.

"Come on Star," Jack said as he looked over to the stand. She was right by Hermione now, who had thankfully noticed her and shot Jack a small nod.

"Would you please tell the court of which witch or wizard you took it from?" she asked.

"I didn't take it. I got it from Diagon Alley at Ollivander's when I was eleven. It chose me," she explained.

"You're lying," Umbridge sneered.

Jack was getting more angry by the minute as was Harry. The spell was slowly wearing off so to prepare himself, Jack transformed his wand into his staff at the ready. Hermione was getting ready too as was Harry although Ron was on the verge of stress due to his position.

"Wands only choose witches and you are not a witch," Umbridge declared.

"But I am!" Mary insisted as she looked to Ron, or her husband. "Tell them Reg, tell them what I am!"

"That's it…" Jack growled as his body began to shimmer. This had now caught the attention of everyone in the room as they had started to whisper and point. Hermione slipped her wand out unseen as did Harry while Star, who was right by Umbridge's chair, looked down at him for the signal.

"What on Earth…?" Umbridge said.

"You're lying Umbitch," Jack said as his body slowly started to come into view.

"It can't be!" Umbridge said as she slowly got up.

"And you know that one must tell lies!" Jack yelled as he then fired a blast of ice up into the air.

And that was when everything went to chaos.

Yup, I ended it there. So I hope you enjoyed that! Reviews in exchange for cupcakes please! Bye for now!
