When Starr got back to the common room she was glad to see the twins sitting by themselves next to the fire. Mez was curled up in a ball at George's feet.

"Hello beautiful." Starr said picking up her cat and taking its spot on the floor.

"Awe you just called me pretty!" Fred cooed.

"No she's mine! Get your own." George teased putting his arms around Starr.

"You mean there are more than one of her?" Fred said raising his eyebrows. "And I though Hogwarts had trouble with just us. Just imagine what it would be like with two Starrs."

"Utter kayos" George said placing a kiss on top of Starr's head. Fred and George laughed but stopped when they realized Starr wasn't laughing with them. The nervously looked at each other then down at Starr, who was staring at her cat.

"You know Mez is just going to keep sleeping no matter how hard you stare him down." George informed her and Starr smirked a little.

"Sorry. I was thinking about that letter." Starr said looking very confused. "The letter said take good care of her. but I always thought Mez was a boy. I mean that's what they told us at the pet store. But know that I look at her… its true. Mez is a girl."

"And that's a big deal why?" Fred asked looking at her sideways.

"Because I've had her since before school starts and it takes a mysterious letter to get me to see I was wrong about her." Starr said then looked back down at the cat. "And not to mention the letter said she was very special. But all I've seen her do is chase after Crookshanks, eat and sleep."

"You know if I didn't know what you were talking about, I'd think you would be talking about Ron." Fred said and Starr laughed.

"You are bad." Starr teased she then looked up into George's eyes. "You know I don't have a boy at the moment."

George gave her a mischievous smile. "And I don't have a girl. What do you say we get together and have some fun after the DA meeting."

"Count on it." Starr said with a wink and headed up the stairs. "See you at the meeting."

"Think of the happiest thought possible!" Harry told every one in the DA room. Starr thought hard. The happiest moment of her life. A smile crept across her face. She knew what it was.

"Expecto Patronum!" Starr said and a glowing fog the shape of a leopard erupted from her wand. She giggled as it leaped over George and bounced across the room. Harry smiled proudly over at her.

"Very good you're the first one to get it down." Harry said patting her on the back.

"Haven't you heard…I'm what most people call brilliant." Starr said with a smile.

"Well then since you have so much brilliance maybe you could help me and show some of the others how it's done." Harry said with a smirk.

"Well I guess they are all worthy of my Brilliance." Starr said sarcastic. "Well except for this one. He's not worthy."

Starr put her arm around George who looked at her confused. "Wait, what am I not worthy enough for?"

"Nothing babe." Starr said wit ha wink at Harry. "Your doing wonderful."

Harry smirked and walked over to Cho who was doing a very good job. He talked to her for a moment before he started back towards Starr. He paused in front of Lavender deep in thought.

"What we really need is a boggart or something. That's how I learned, I had to conjure a Patronus while the boggart was pretending to be a dementor." Harry said as if trying to figure out how to get one.

"But that would be scary." Lavender squeaked.

"So would facing a real dementor." Starr informed her. she winked at George who had almost perfected his Patronus. She decided to move on to some one else when she saw Seamus trying very hard to perfect his. The silver mist almost had the shape of a small fox. She then moved on to Ginny who had just produced a big silver horse.

"Sweet Patronus." Starr said with a smile. Ginny shrugged and then smirked at her friend.

"I heard yours is sweet too. Lets see it." Ginny said and Starr happily produced her Patronus. Hers chased Ginny's around the room and the girls laughed as they watched them. The door behind them opened and closed. Starr looked around the room and to her surprise saw a very familiar House Elf.

"Dobby?" Starr asked as the elf made its way to Harry. Starr fallowed wondering what the old Malfoy house elf was doing at Hogwarts.

"Hi Dobby!" Harry said sounding surprised to see the elf. "What are you…what's wrong?"

"Dobby?" Starr asked standing next to Harry. The elf gave a low pitiful sigh at the sight of her.

"Miss Black?" Dobby said in surprise. He hesitated before turning to Harry. "Harry Potter, sir…Harry Potter, sir… Dobby had come to warn you…but the house-elves have been warned not to tell…"

The elf ran headfirst into the wall and Starr shrieked. "Dobby, stop that this instant!"

She and Harry had been the only ones in the room to see Dobby in this behavior.

"What's happened Dobby?" Harry asked finally getting a hold of the elf. Once more he have a worried look over to Starr before he spoke.

"Harry Potter…she…she…"

"Who is she Dobby?" Starr demanded and the elf squeaked. That's when she realized the elf was scared of her. Harry gave her an odd look.

"Who's 'she' Dobby?" Harry repeated Starr's question. Realization crept across Starr's face and Harry realized who she was thinking.

"Umbridge?" Harry asked. Dobby nodded and most every one in the room gasped.

"What about her? Dobby…She hasn't found out about this…about us…about the D.A.?" Harry asked and soon knew the answer as the elf tried to hurt its self again. This time Starr stopped him. The elf seemed surprised by her actions.

"Is she coming?" Harry asked as Starr struggled to keep the elf from hurting its self.

"Yes, Harry Potter, Yes!" Dobby screeched and Starr's eyes grew big in horror. She looked up at her cousin. She then looked around. No one moved.

"What are you waiting for…Run!" Harry demanded and everyone started to race in different directions. Starr handed Dobby over to Harry as she grabbed both their things and headed for the door.

"Dobby... this is an order… get back down to the kitchen with the other elves, and if she asks you whether you warned me, lie and say no… and I forbid you to hurt yourself!" Harry demanded as he put Dobby down out side the door. Starr quickly shut it behind them as she handed Harry his stuff and told the house elf goodbye. Dobby muttered a farewell before disappearing.

"There's a men's restroom at the end of this corridor. I'll go that way. You find the closest place to hide and stay there." Harry said. Starr raced to an unoccupied classroom door when she heard Harry yell out. She turned around to see Harry lying on the floor and Draco walked up to him with a smirk on his face.

"Trip Jinx, Potter." Draco said happily. "Hey professor…Professor! I've got one!"

Starr felt a sharp pain in her back and realized Umbridge had jinxed her while walking around the corner behind her. she smiled to herself and brought Starr with her to see who Draco had gotten. His eyes widened when he saw Starr with her.

"Where did you catch her professor?" Draco asked but Umbridge ignored his question.

"Its him!" she said happily. "Excellent, Draco, oh very good… Fifty points to Slytherin! I'll take him from here…Stand up Pottter! Draco you take this one and fallow me."

"But Professor. I don't believe Starr had anything to do with this group. She's my cousin and has been with me when the meetings have supposedly gone on." Draco said defending Starr.

"Well she wasn't this time Mr. Malfoy. But if you feel that way. I'll take them both. You check the boys restroom and Miss Parkinson can check the girls." Umbridge said taking Harry and Starr to the headmaster's office. Starr and Harry didn't look at each other the whole way up the stairs to Dumbledore's office. They both knew this wasn't going to be good for either of them. Starr and Harry pulled free of Umbridge's grasp the moment the door shut behind them.

"Well." Fudge said with almost satisfaction in his voice. "well, well, well."

"These two where on their way back to Gryffindor Tower." Umbridge said. "The Malfoy boy cornered him, while I got this one. Malfoy insisted that his cousin had nothing to do with this but I am not for sure. She was caught only feet away from Potter."

"I must remember to tell Lucius. He wont be to happy to hear about Starr, but his son will make him proud." Fudge said shaking his head at Starr. "Well Potter…Miss Black…I expect you know why you are here?"

"No." Starr and Harry said together.

"So you don't know why you are here?"

"Uh that's what we just said wasn't it." Starr said bitterly. Dumbledore gave her a warning glance but said nothing. Fudge looked suspiciously at the two kids in front of him. It was obvious that he did not believe them at all.

"So you have no idea why Professor Umbridge has brought you to this office?" Fudge asked. "You are not aware that you have broken any school rules?"

"School rules?" Harry said shaking his head. "No."

"Or Ministry decrees." Fudge asked getting angry.

"Not that I'm aware of. But there are so many to keep track of. I'm sorry if I have by accident." Starr said with an innocent look. Fudge glared at the girl. Then he looked over at Harry who shook his head. He knew they were hiding something.

"So it's news to you is it. that an illegal student organization has been discovered within the school?" Fudge asked eying Starr.

"Yes it is." Harry answered annoying Fudge further. He had wanted Starr to answer. But the fact that Harry had mad his suspicion grow.

"I think, Minister," Umbridge said from behind Fudge. "We might make better progress if I fetch our informant."

"Yes, yes, do." Fudge said eying the children once more hoping to see any sign of worry upon their faces. But both kids looked innocently up at him. He glared at the likeness of them. They almost seemed to match in every aspect of the moment. The girls eyes didn't even looked surprised to see her friend Marietta with purple pustules formed in the word SNEAK across her forehead. Marietta didn't seem to want to talk even with Umbridge egging her on.

"Oh very well, you silly girl, I'll tell him." Umbridge snapped. "Well, Minister. Miss Edgecombe here came to my office shortly after dinner this evening and told me she had something she wanted to tell me. She said that in I proceeded to a secret room on the seventh floor, some times known as the Room of Requirement, I would find our something to my advantage. I questioned her a little further and she admitted that there was to be some kind of meeting there. Unfortunately at that point this hex cam into operation and upon catching sight of her face in my mirror the girl became too distressed to tell me any more."

"Well now." Fudge said looking some what kindly towards Marietta. "It is very brave of you, my dear, coming to tell Professor Umbridge, you did exactly the right thing. Now, will you tell me what happened at this meeting? What was its purpose? Who was there?"

Marietta refused to speak and Starr chanced a glance over at Harry who had done the same thing. They smirked at each other but their smirked quickly faded as soon as they had appeared. Umbridge told them about how she knew about the meeting at the Hog's Head in October, but then informed them that Starr was not one of the kids who had attended it.

"Then why is she here?" Harry asked bitterly.

"I found her watching from behind a plant while Draco had you cornered." Umbridge said proudly.

"I was helping out my cousin Professor Umbridge. I never realized that was a crime." Starr admitted and it wasn't a lie. She just wasn't helping Draco.

"You were doing no such thing. Mr. Malfoy didn't even know you were there!"

Umbridge retorted. " Any way the purpose of Potter's meeting with these students was to persuade them to join an illegal society, whose aim was to learn spells and curses the Ministry has decided are inappropriate for school-age…"

"I think you'll find you're wrong there. Delores." Dumbledore said with a smile. Starr backed away from the group looking quickly around for a way to escape. For the time being there was nothing to be seen. She caught eyes with Dumbledore and blushed a little when she realized he had noticed what she was doing. He gave her another warning look. Then she saw Umbridge pull out a piece of parchment. She knew what it was the moment she saw it. It was the list of names of every one who was in the D.A. and Starr's name was the very first one on it.

"The moment I saw Potter's name on the list, I knew what we were dealing with." Umbridge said proudly.

"And look who's name just happens to be the first on this list." Fudge said eying Starr, who stood tall and emotionless. "Starr Light Black. I see you have turned out to be like your murderous father. Emotionless. You are a fool child."

Starr shot daggers at him with her eyes. Harry grabbed her arm and Fudge smirked.

"Awe, I should have guessed you two were involved. You were so much alike with your innocent looks." Fudge said with a laugh and Starr and Harry looked at each other in surprise. He didn't know they were cousins, but he had known Sirius was Starr's father. Fudge looked back down at the parchment then back up at Dumbledore. "By Thunder. See what they have named themselves. Dumbledore's army."

Dumbledore snatched the parchment away from Fudge and looked some what amused by the sight of it.

"Well the game is up." He said with a smirk. "Would you like a written confession from me, Cornelius… or will a statement before these witnesses suffice?"

Starr and Harry looked confused at each other but it didn't take them long to realize what Dumbledore was doing. He was taking the wrap for all of the students on the paper. Soon there was a streak of silver light that filled the room. Starr and Harry were forced to the ground by some one but she couldn't see who. It wasn't till the dust floating around the room started to fade away that she saw it was McGonagall.

"Are you all right?" Dumbledore asked them

"Yes." McGonagall answered for them all.

"Unfortunately, I had to hex Kingsley too, or it would have looked very suspicious." Dumbledore said in almost a whisper as the others go to their feet. "He was remarkably quick on the uptake, modifying Miss Engecombe's memory like that while every one was looking the other way…thank him for me wont you Minerva?"

"Now they will all awake very soon and it will be best if they do not know that we had time to communicate…you must act as though no time has passed, as though they were merely knocked to the ground, they will not remember…" Dumbledore continued and Starr and Harry shook their heads.

"Professor Dumbledore…" Harry began but was interrupted by Dumbledore.

"Listen to me Harry, you must study Occlumency as hard as you can, do you understand me? Do everything Professor Snape tells you and practice it particularly every night before sleeping so that you close your mind to bad dreams… you will understand why soon enough, but you must promise me to close your mind." He then turned to Starr. "There are questions still to be answered about you before the world can know your connection with Harry. Even if most of them were old enough to know of it before. You will understand soon enough but you must listen to the Malfoy's until then and give them know knowledge of Sirius."

Dumbledore disappeared and Starr stood confused looking at the spot where Dumbledore once stood. She wondered why she should still listen to the Malfoys but the answer soon came to her the moment she left the office. Standing in front of the gargoyle was Lucius with an angry look upon his face.

"Starr…" He said then angrily looked away. "I thought it was a good idea to have you go to Hogwarts but now I see I was wrong. Pack your things. You'll be returning home this evening."

Starr looked down the hall to see Fred and George peeking out from a hidden passageway. They started toward her but she held up her hand as her eyes seemed to glow green for a spit second. An invisible barrier formed in front of the twins causing them to bounce back. Harry stared at his cousin in surprise. He had never seen her do anything like that before. That was when he realized that Starr had secrets of her own. One of them was being way stronger than she let any one else know.

"Ok Lucius. I will go." Starr said with no emotion at all. She walked with him down the hall as the barrier disappeared but the twins still seemed to be guarded from Starr. She left that night with out even a goodbye to any one. And they didn't hear from her for a long time.
