Alright, well this is the one year checkpoint for this story! Exactly one year ago I wrote and updated the very first chapter! Ah, I can't believe it's been a year! Anyways, thank you so much to my reviewers!
Reviewers-
1.) FlyingNargles ~ I'm glad you like it! Thanks for the review!
2.) Reyrayankar ~ I'm glad you think so. : ) I know it's not the greatest, not even close, but I'm glad it's at least okay. I think it's really cliché and the main character is a huge mary-sue. Anyways, thank you for the review!
3.) IisDaWaffleQueen ~ Alright, thank you for the review!
4.) AnneRG ~ It's alright, and I know what you mean. Ugh. Thank god for Spring Break for me though. xD And I've always hated Cho, so I decided to cast her in a bad light. I missed them being together so I decided to make it so. xD Thanks for the review!
5.) .Moony ~ I'm so happy you like it! Thanks for the review!
Now here's chapter 25!
Megan's P.O.V.
I opened my eyes as soon as I reached my destination, Number 12 Grimmauld Place. As soon as the door became visible, I rushed inside.
Mad-Eye met me in the hallway, his wand pointing towards my throat.
"I have to prove it's really you." He grumbled, his magical eye rolling around in its socket. "Use your metamorphmagus powers."
I nodded before briefly changing all of my facial features and changing the color of my hair. I then changed it back to normal.
"Where is he?" I asked quickly.
"Come with me. Sirius is currently with him upstairs." Moody said, leading me to one of the bedrooms in the upper level of the house.
When we reached the room Sirius was just stepping out of it, into the hallway.
"How is he?" I asked worriedly, stepping towards the door.
"I don't know. He hasn't woken up yet and we can't very well take him to a healer at the moment in his condition. Why are you here though? We sent that letter to inform you, not to ask you to rush down here." Sirius said.
I frowned, biting my lip. "I couldn't very well just stay there now could I? I was worried so I rushed out of there. I wasn't learning anything anyway."
Moody growled. "Your education is very important. You shouldn't be risking it like this. Especially with the ministry hag hovering around there."
"Mad-eye, just drop it." I said. "Can I go in and see him?"
"Sure. But he doesn't look his best, we've only cleaned him up a little bit, but we can't do much about the bruises and big wounds." Sirius warned me.
I pushed the door to the room open slowly and stepped inside. It was lit dimly by a candle on the wall, causing the walls to be cast in an eerie glow.
I looked around and saw the bed in the far corner of the room. A figure covered in white blankets that appeared to be spotted with blood. I had a sharp intake of breath and walked over to the bed.
I looked down at the figure and tears welled in my eyes. There were bruises and gashes covering most of what I could see of them. Fighting back tears, I sat beside the bed, waiting for him to wake.
Hermione's P.O.V.
I quickly took the note Megan had received and read over it.
"…we don't know if he is alright, but thought it best we inform you about this incident. Currently he is in the only safe place we have…" I said, reading aloud from the letter. "It's from Mad-Eye… I suppose they're talking about the Order's headquarters. Megan must have left to make sure he's alright." I concluded, looking around at the group.
Harry was currently checking the map to see if she was still on the grounds. She wasn't.
"What if something happens to her? I can't let her leave and never come back. I have to go after her." Harry said, shoving the map back in his pocket and tugging the invisibility cloak from the other. "You all stay here, I don't want any of you to get caught or injured."
Here we go with the hero crap again. "Harry, we're going with you no matter what. Deal with it." Danni said, putting her hands on her hips.
After about five minutes of convincing him, we decided that Ron, Fred, George, Dawn, and I stay while Harry and Danni go to find Megan and make sure she's alright.
As soon as they left I turned to Ron and frowned. "She must be worried sick about him. I can't believe after everything she's been through that this had to happen. If he dies…" I couldn't finish my sentence, choosing instead to wrap my arms around Ron's neck and hiding my face in his chest.
"If he dies she's going to be torn up. She'd sink back into her depression again. And we can not let that happen. I will not allow her to act the way she did after the last time she lost someone important to her." Dawn said fiercely, narrowing her eyes.
"We have to all be there for her after this. She must be worried sick right now." I said, looking around at our small group.
"Anyone want to go down to dinner?" George asked halfheartedly, trying to change the subject to a more cheery one. We all looked down at the last stragglers as they entered the Great Hall.
I shrugged. "We probably ought to. We don't want to be found milling around in the hallway. The old toad will probably make a new decree against it or something."
They all nodded and we made our way down the staircase and into the Great Hall. We took our seats at the Gryffindor table all thinking similar thoughts, all wondering how our friends were doing.
Harry's P.O.V.
It didn't take long for Danni and I to reach the tunnel that led to Hogsmeade. Once In the cellar of Honeydukes, she used side along apparition to get us to Number 12 Grimmauld Place. I quickly walked to the front door and pulled it open.
Suddenly Mad-Eye appeared in front of us, brandishing his wand. "Who's there?" He growled.
"It's Danni and Harry." Danni said holding up her hands to show that she was defenseless. I did the same.
"Prove it. You, Potter, what form does your patronus take?" He asked me.
"A stag." I answered calmly.
"Alright, and you, what is your boyfriend's youngest brothers girlfriend's name?" Moody asked. I personally thought this was an odd question, but didn't voice my opinion.
"Hermione Jean Granger…" Danni answered. "Now Mad-Eye, is Megan here?" She asked.
Mad-Eye nodded. "Upstairs. She's sitting by his bed… we don't know if he's alright yet, he hasn't woken after the attack."
I frowned, worried about both of them before rushing up the stairs, I had to comfort her. God knows she probably needed it.
Ah, really short chapter, I know. And not very well written. Sorry about that you guys. I just got home an hour ago and started typing about forty-five minutes ago… I get distracted easily so it took longer than it should have to type this rather boring and uneventful chapter.
Here's a tiny contest for you guys! I purposely avoided saying who it was who was hurt for a reason. Now the first reviewer to write in and say who they think the mystery person is gets a special shout out in the beginning of next chapter.
I thought it was obvious, but I'm not really sure. So if no one gets it, which I highly doubt will happen, I will just tell you guys next chapter.
Please review in celebration of the one year mark for this story!
Happy early Easter,

(P.S. I'll be updating again before the weekend is over.)
