Chapter 26

D.A. and Animagi practice.

By the end of October everyone had realized that the only class left for Umbridge to see was Care of Magical Creatures and inspect Grubly-plank. She came in all annoyingly and first asked the Professor about her views on Dumbledore and then started nagging her about her teaching ideas for the year and began pestering her about where Hagrid had gone to. Luckily for Harry and the others she knew absolutely nothing.

Umbridge next came over and talked to Malfoy about Buckbeak really making Harry's blood boil.

"Harry relax." said Ginny grabbing his hand. Harry hugged her and they proceeded with what they were doing,

"So Miss Lovegood." Began Umbridge "Would you say Hagrid was a good teacher?"

"Oh most certainly!" said Luna. "He has taught us a lot. I really wish he would come back."

After classes the two bounded couples found themselves again in the secret room trying to master their forms and were getting very close. Neville was surprisingly farther along then the other three and Misa couldn't help but be proud of him.

That day Kisa's head appeared through the fire again.

"Hey kids." Said Kisa "And my son-in-law."

Neville blushed, they hadn't actually realized yet that they were married and Misa was pretty sure that Harry and Ginny hadn't realized that either.

"Mom, is everything ok?"

"Well Albus told us about the two of you and your father is surprisingly happy." Said Kisa

"Snape? Happy?" asked Harry.

"I know it scared me too, but I'm here on a more professional note. Get the others first."

It took a few minutes to round everybody up including Fred, George, and Seamus.

"Finally anyway. First off Molly has forbidden all of her children from joining the now illegal defense group. Ariel on the other hand agrees and disagrees with her. Seamus, Jay. She says she trusts you and hopes that you do what you in your hearts think is right." Said Kisa. "Your father on the other hand thinks it's a great idea, as do I just as long as toad stool doesn't find out."

"My mother is telling me to brake the rules." Said Misa as she sat down in a chair. "Oh why couldn't I have a normal mother."

"Anyway." Said Kisa disregarding her daughter's statement. "Have fun, and don't you dare get caught. Also I have a little idea as to what you can do to her….ask Peeves to through water balloons every time she walks by and ask the Bloody Baron to ignore her and pretty much get the ghost to help out, cause I am sure they hate her just as much as the house elves and the faculty."

"OH YEAH!!" said Fred, George, and Seamus together.

"Alright I have to go. I'm…I have work to do. Bye." And then she vanished from sight.

"Come on we have homework." Ordered Hermione and pushed everybody through their doors.

Misa, Neville, Ginny, and Harry had been fortunate to escape Hermione's evil powers since they had done their homework and both couples ended up in the Come and Go room, which had turned into a fire placed room with two couches and some books.

They again practiced their forms and finally the four had done it right before they passed out.

Harry and Ginny stood infront of a huge volcano with a beautiful Phoenix looking at them

"Hi!" said Harry and Ginny not really knowing exactly what to say.

"I am Plamen… it's Bulgarian for fire and I am here to help you on your way as you prosper with your powers of healing tears and Flaming teleportation, but most importantly I am here as a sort of helper from Fate. Don't ask…"

"ok…" said Ginny "Are you gonna come and do this sort of think a lot?"

"Oh no!" said Plamen. "Once you prosper I will come and see you in real life, until then try to keep it a secret from outsiders."


"Like who?" asked Harry

"Pretty much anyone you don't like…but for now…wake up."

Neville and Misa a woke in a forest overlooking a beautiful clear and blue lake. With them was another Crystal- Lynx.

"Hello Misa, and Neville I am Athena."

"Athena?" said Misa "My Grandmothers name was Athena."

The Crystal-lynx smiled.

"I am Athena Potter-Tinsley. Or I was until I died…You know how Voldemort and his followers cane be, don't you Neville? Tell her…Or when you wake up at least…anyway I am a part of you now and will help guide you and teach you how to use those powers of yours."

"Ok then…Grandma…how is all of this possible?"

"Why don't you ask fate and destiny when you die I'm sure they will be more then happy to answer everything……My job is to help you and I will present my self as a Crystal Lynx to you in real life when you are ready. So go and WAKE UP!!"

Everybody woke up at the same time and stared at one another before sharing their stories.

"Misa come on I need to tell you something." Said Neville and grabbing her hand gently he lead her out of the Come and Go room and they ended up walking back to where the path between their houses goes in two different directions. "What I'm gonna tell you is sort of private so please don't tell anyone."

"Neville, I would never."

"Good." Neville took a deep breath. "After Voldemort vanished a Death Eater named Bellatrix Lestrange attacked my parents and she and a few others….they tortured them for information, but they never gave in…..I'm very proud to be their son….so the reason I got mad was that Bellatrix and those others tortured them into insanity and they are currently residing in St. Mungo's." said Neville and took out a picture showing him as a baby, his mom, dad, and his Gran.

"Oh Neville." Said Misa and hugged him. "I'm sorry, but if were confessing our secrets, here's mine. Misa isn't my real name…or isn't my full name exactly. My real name is Myasthenia Artemis Tinsley, but very few people know that. Not even Eric in America knows."

"Personally I like it." Said Neville.

"Your' just saying that cause you're my boyfriend." Said Misa.

"No! I'm not, but we better go. Classes and the first what ever it is." Said Neville and Kissed Misa.

"Yeah."

The next day as they had decided they told everyone that wrote their names down on a piece of paper about where and when the meeting would be and at 7 after dinner they all found their way to the Come and Go room. Which had everything perfectly made for them.

"Alright. EVERYBODY SHUT UP!!" yelled Ginny from across the room. "Harry, here will be our leader and he will help us. So if you would Harry Potter."

Everyone waited for Harry to speak as he moved forward and stood so everyone could see him.

"First thing I want everyone to know is that this isn't a game, fighting Voldemort …."

"Oh grow up. It's only a name." said Misa…. "Oh sorry continued Harry."

"Like I said fighting Voldemort is not like school. It is the REAL deal. Now I think the first thing we should work on is Expelliarmus."

"Are you kidding me?" asked Zacharias "We learned this our first year."

"This disarming spell has saved me from a LOT of tight situations and in fact saved my life."

Smith did not respond but decided to just look at the room.

"Oh Harry I'm sorry, but we need to do one more thing." Said Hermione "we need a name."

"How about The Ministry Are Morons association." Said Fred.

"Or the MAMA for short." Said George.

"Um…I don't know…." Said Ginny. "How about Dumbledore's army. If Fudge thinks were doing that why not just do it."

"All in favor of Dumbledore's Army say I!"

and everyone shouted "I"

And that was that. For the rest of the month the weekly D.A. lessons continued and nobody suspected a thing. Though things got a tad complicated when the Inquisitorial Squad appeared. With Malfoy and Filch leading the way….figures huh….It got even worse. After winning the first Qudditch match of the year Harry Fred and George got banned because they "EXIDENTALY" broke a few bones in Malfoy's body though no permanent damage was sustained….DAMN!! Hagrid came back soon after and explained to Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron were he was….with all the giants and junk. They then had met up with him by his hut and told him everything….

"Hagrid what are you planning for your next lesson anyway?" asked Hermione.

"Oh it's a surprise and don't worry 'bout me. I can handle my self. That man's already been here." Said Hagrid. "I told her I been away visiting a sick friend."

Hermione's hunch had been right. Umbridge did in fact watch his next lesson.

"Everyone I want you to tell me how many of you actually see a creature in front of you." Said Hagrid and Harry, Luna and one or two other people raised their hands. "Don't worry you can see them. They can only be seen by people who have seen death so don't be alarmed. Now…."

The lesson went rather smooth except wit the constant Hem, Hem.

The 8 were sitting in the secret room thinking of how to deal with Umbridge sticking her big long nose where it doesn't belong.

"Hey. Didn't Umbridge have a hole bunch of kittens in her office?" asked Ginny. "I heard Angelina talking to the rest of the team about it."

Ginny had replaced Harry on the team as seeker and to Harry's surprise was doing a WONDERFUL job.

"So?" asked Luna "How is that gonna…OH!!"

Everyone else looked dumbfounded.

"Ok. She likes Cats so why don't we have a very big cat pay her a little visit?" asked Ginny

"But we don't….Oh my god…Ginny….you are so evil…" said Misa. "I volunteer to put her in her place." and Misa gave a tiny evil laugh.

So that day since Harry and the twins couldn't go practice or fly since Umbridge confiscated their brooms they went into the DADA classroom. Fred Signaled Misa to come in and waited.

Misa came into the room and opened Professor Umbridge 's office door. She then transformed and tried to hide behind the desk, which was extremely hard give the fact that she was a lion with large wings.

A few minutes later Umbridge came in and was about to sit behind her desk, when she let out a scream as she saw Misa.

Misa roared before starting to talk.

"Well Hello Dolores. How are you?" asked Misa.

"D...who are you?"

"Oh…nobody you know, but I know you. You stupid…." Misa was cut off as Umbridge raised her wand. "I wouldn't do that if I were you…if you would know I am a Crystal-Lynx., which makes me magic-proof. So I wouldn't recommend using that….unless you want to be my lunch. Leave everything at this school the way it should be…OR ELSE…" and with that Misa jumped out the window and flew off..

Umbridge had stood there with her eyes bulged out and was staring into the un-known, but she did not know what to do about it.

One night towards the Winter holidays Harry woke up sweating with Ron and Neville starring at him.

"A nightmare?" asked Ron and Harry nodded. "What was it about?"

"I…saw y…your dad…getting attacked by a snake…Voldemorts snake."

With in minutes Harry was in Dumbledore's office watching him talk to the portrait to one of Sirius's relatives.

"Tell them that Arthur Weasley is gravely injured and his children and Mr. Potter will be arriving by Port-key." He then turned to Professor McGonagall. "Would you mind fetching Severus?"

She nodded and left coming back a minute later with Snape. "Severus. I'm afraid the connection is stronger then we thought. You will start the lessons after the holidays."

"yes Headmaster." Said Snape leaving.

The next day Jay, Luna, Misa, Hermione, and Neville were in the secret room waiting for Harry, Ginny, and the others, but they never came. Instead a huge silver Tiger appeared through the window.

"Harry and the Weasley's are here with us. Arthur has been injured. I'll explain it later. I'll see you during the holidays." Came Kisa's voice. "Love Kisa…Or Mom to a few of you…P.S. Misa spend some time with your dad….we've….been…..uh…talking……just do it."

And with that the tiger vanished and everyone stared at the place were the Patronus stood.

"Does that mean that Kisa…and Snape…" Asked Neville

"I don't know." Said Misa "But it'd be totally cool if it did happen…"

"Come on lot. We've got class." Ordered Hermione.

"Fine!!" said Misa and kissed Neville. "I'll meet you guys in charms."

As soon as all the classes had ended the were the first on the train. They got a compartment and sat quietly.

"SO what are you guys planning to do over the Holidays?" asked Misa.

"Oh…nothing much." Said Neville 'Except going to visit my parents'

"I'm hoping that everything goes smoothly over brake."

"Oh you and me both." Said Luna. "Something will happen."

The train ride was great and they had a lot of fun together talking and laughing, but when they arrived at King Cross station they had to part.

Misa began to look a tad gloomy.

"Misa." Said Neville looking strait into her eyes. "I'll see you after Christmas, alright?"

"alright" and Misa kissed him.

The broke apart and Misa watched Neville go and see his Gran, while Misa was being pulled into a hug by her mother and godmother.

"Mom, Aunt Ariel, I CAN'T Breath." Said Misa. The two let go off her and the two women took her and Jay back to Grimmauld place.

'I can't believe this.' Came Neville's voice inside her head.

'What is it?'

'My Uncle…you know the one that tried to "Bring the magic out" is currently giving me the talk after Gran told him about……us….'

Misa couldn't help, but laugh a little as she and Jay went and putt their stuff upstairs.

Entering the room she would be sharing with Ginny she sat down took a deep breath as Ginny walked through the door.

"what is it?" asked Ginny looking at her friend.

"When did you guys plan on telling them about being Animagi?" asked Misa

Reality at that moment had struck her. She didn't even think about it until now. What would they say and how would they take it.

"I…uh…that is…"

"Forget it. Come on. I want to see Uncle Sirius making a fool of himself."

Misa and Ginny ran down the stairs and Misa first attacked Harry. Giving him a brotherly hug. She then got a hug from Sirius and the proceeded to the kitchen.

"So mom." Said Ron looking up from his plate of food. "When are we going?"

"tomorrow." She replied "and no more questions you will see your father soon enough.

'Gin, are you ok?' asked Harry using the bond.

'Sort of…Misa…asked me when we were planning on telling my parents and everyone else that we're Animagi.'

'Maybe we should tell them. I mean Dumbledore knows we tried, but he doesn't know we succeeded. So why don't we tell them tonight at dinner?'

'Great I'll let Misa know.'

After the little late lunch Misa was doing her homework in the room she shared with Ginny when Ginny came in.

"are you really doing your homework now?" she asked.

"I wanted to get it out of the way."

"Your starting to sound like Hermione." Said Ginny.

"Merlin forbid, and I wasn't really doing it. I was actually just talking to Neville."

"listen Misa….the reason I came in is because…well Harry and I talked and….we think you were right and that we should tell them…at dinner tonight?'

"ok." Said Misa looking a bit down.

"Misa what's wrong?" asked Ginny finally sitting down on the soft bed with the maroon and gold sheets.

"N…nothing…I just have a lot on my mind with O.W.L.'s and the career advice thing we need to go and get." Lied Misa. She was of course thinking about Neville, but knew if she told Ginny it would lead to her asking why and Misa blowing of his secret.

"Well alright, but….I also had an idea." Said Ginny. "What if we all get nicknames since Kisa, Sirius, and Ariel are animagi and they have nicknames….."

"Ginny that sound great, but can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

Misa putt down her book and sat face to face with Ginny.

"Is it wrong for me to want my parents together?"

"Of course not. Everyone deserves a happy family."

Misa gave a weak smile.

"Thanks. Come on I want to play Qudditch and I do not plan on being on Ron's team."

At dinner things became a bit tense since Snape had joined them for dinner as did Remus, and Tonks.

Everyone ate peacefully and normally with the occasional joke between them. Finally as everyone was digging into one of Kisa and Ariel's famous brownies Ginny stood up.

"Uh….Harry, Misa and I have an announcement to make." She said and got everyone's attention. "Recently the three of us and Neville took the animagi potion."

At this Kisa glowed with pride while everyone else excluding Sirius and Ariel who shared similar emotions looked startled. Harry stood up next/

"Not to long ago we started to master our forms and have now mastered our forms, though we still need to work on the powers." Said Harry

"What powers?" asked Remus

"What are your forms?" asked Sirius looking exited.

Misa at that moment stood up.

"Ginny and Harry are Phoenixes and Neville and I are Crystal-lynxes."

"and you say you mastered these forms?" asked Snape. "didn't think Longbottom had it in him."

"Does Dumbledore know?" was the first thing that Mrs. Weasley asked.

"He knows we took the potion, but we don't know if he knows that we've mastered the forms."

Kisa smiled at them. She was so proud.

"Well come on…let's see."

Ginny and Harry transformed into the fiery red Phoenixes and flew around the room a bit before changing back.

"Misa come on. Your turn." Said Ariel.

Misa took a step back from the table and transformed into the winged lion and after a huge roar that shook the house she changed back.

"….." was everyone's reaction except Kisa who instead gave a little girlish scream and pulled the three kids into huge hugs.

"I am so proud." Sobbed Kisa as she hugged the three. "their turning out to be just like us, eh Ariel."

Ariel only nodded.

"Well let's hope they get your good qualities not the prank Snape qualities." Said Severus.

"Daddy, we would Never do that." Said Misa with a slightly evil smile.

The next day before the eve they went to St Mungo's. They went up to the something floor and saw Mr. Weasley who seemed surprisingly up-beat for someone who had been attacked by a snake. Misa, Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny decided to go to the tea shop on the fifth floor.

They headed up an d were about to go up to the fifth floor when somebody stopped them…it was Professor Lockhart their former DADA professor who got his memory erased.

"Hello Professor." Said Hermione.

"You know me?" he asked. "Come on I'll show you my room."

He led them to another ward that looked more homey and a tad more private since their were curtains separating the beds.

"Mrs. Longbottom are you leaving already?" came a healers voice. Everyone turned around and saw Neville and his Gran walking towards them.

"Neville, hey mate it's us." Said Ron. 'Who are you here visiting?"

Neville smiled at them but couldn't say a word since his grandmother stepped in

"SO Neville these must be your friends. Harry Potter, The Weasley children Hermione Granger…always a pleasure and Misa Tinsley. Neville talks about you most of all.

Neville looked as if he'd rather be in detention with Umbridge then there wit them and Misa caught sight to what this was leading too. "Yes Neville's a good boy but he hasn't got his fathers talent I'm afraid to say."

She looked down at two beds down the row.

Neville at that moment looked down at his feet turning red.

"What?" said Ron looking surprised. "That your dad over there?...Ouch"

Misa and Harry at that moment both kicked Ron rather hard.

'Why did Harry kick Ron, you didn't tell him did you?'

'No!'

"What's this." Said Mrs. Longbottom "you haven't told them. Are you ashamed. Your parents were great people and gave their lives to protecting this world from him…"

"I'm not ashamed." Said Neville. "It's hard enough to tell your friends that your parents were tortured into insanity. Especially your girlfriend."

Misa at that moment felt really bad for him as did Harry. Why had his grandmother treated him so badly?

"Not ashamed? Well you've got a funny way of showing it." A woman came running over and handed something to Neville. It was a gum rapper.

"Thanks Mum." Said Neville so quietly that almost nobody heard. "I'll see you guys later." Said Neville an he and his grandmother left the ward.

"If only we known." Said Hermione.

"If only he'd told us." Said Ginny "I didn't know." Ron and Hermione said that they did not know either, but they then turned to Misa and Harry.

"I knew." They both said and stared at the other.

"How do you know?" asked Misa.

"Dumbledore told me. How do you know?"

"Neville told me the day we mastered our forms. And Ron could you be any thicker? Couldn't you see he was uncomfortable?"

Ron did not respond as he was cut of by Hermione.

"h…h…how…d…did…it…"

"happen?" asked Harry. "Bellatrix Lestrange happened. She and some others tortured them for information using an unforgivable."

Christmas holidays ended with a blast with Arthur coming back from the hospital, but what really scared everyone was the mass brake out apparently committed by Sirius Black,

"Wow Sirius." Said Ariel as they ate dinner they night before they would return to Hogwarts. "I didn't know you snuck out last night to brake Death Eaters out of prison."

"And what exactly were you two doing last night?" asked Kisa and both adults flushed and quickly changed the subject. "Harry by the way Sevvy is going to teach you Occlumency."

A year or so ago Harry would have screamed and whined about doing anything with Snape, but since Snape had discovered he was a father he seemed a bit more open to his daughter and her friends.

"Oh that reminds me." Said Misa and ran up stairs. She came back down with a huge pile of stuff and handed it one by one to Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Jay.

"What's all this?" asked Ron.

"Your Christmas presents slash souvenirs from America"

Everyone seemed to like their presents and everyone went to bad slightly bummed to have to go back to school with that annoying hag there.

Umbridge had been shaken up by Misa's little visit and was determined to figure out who had done it and how to punish them….

What is Umbridge planning….How will they deal with her….and who will betray the D.A. Cough Cho Chang Cough

Ok it was a bit rushed, but their was a lot of things I didn't really like or wanted to get to quicker, so bare with me and again sorry about the writers block.
