A/N: Just realised how the song 'One of Us' from Lion King 2 totally suits Helen Beaufleur. She even has the 'Scar on [her] face'. Woah, mind blown moment

It was almost the end of the school year and exams were upon us. I was not so fussed about my exams as they were only internal but the fifth years were having panic attacks all over the place, Daphne had already been taken to the hospital wing twice.

At the moment though, I was in the Room of Requirement, practicing my different jinxes and protection spells with Neville. He was already quite proficient and I was impressed for by the time we finished I was working up a sweat. I nodded to Neville and he grinned back when suddenly the there was a great crashing sound. I turned, as did all of the members, with our wands out to watch at the door shook until suddenly there was a huge explosion and the air was clouded by dust. Through the debris, in the hole stood Dumbridge and the inquisitorial squad. Their grins at finally catching this 'secret society' suddenly turned to gob smacked expressions as they saw I was one of the members. I bit my lip guiltily and watched as Umbridge stepped over the rubble to smile sickly sweet at all of us. I watched as each member of the Inquisitorial Squad chose their own person to take to the Great Hall and I closed my eyes, praying I wouldn't get Draco. Someone took my elbow and started marching me off. I peaked through my closed eyes to see the worst possible person. 'Come on.' he pulled on my arm and I winced, having been hit on the same spot by a flying piece of plaster. I walked quickly and soon we were a few paces ahead of everyone. 'What do you think you're doing Helen?' he glared at me and I looked away, not able to hold his gaze. 'Are you really so stupid!' he growled and I turned on him.

'Hermione invited me and it was a good opportunity to gain their trust if you must know.' I whispered. He pulled away surprised and his grip on me loosened quite a bit. I yanked my arm from his hand and rubbed it as I kept walking. He put an arm around my shoulder as we walked quickly and to anyone who didn't know what had just happened I would have looked like a normal afternoon stroll between a couple. I sighed, looking at the ground until we reached the Great Hall and turned to him as we stopped. 'I'll see you in the common room. Can you explain to the others?-' he cut me off with a wave of his hat

'Of course, now get in there before you get in more trouble.' he smirked slightly at me as he walked off and I stepped into the Great Hall with the other members of the DA.

'Umbridge really did a number on you didn't she.' I winced as Blaise turned over my hand, which had the words I must not disobey carved onto the skin.

'Umbitch' I muttered under my breath and looked up at the others, I spoke louder this time. 'are you guys mad at me?' Daphne sighed and moved to sit on the other side of me.

'No, Umbridge has punished you enough, and anyway, you only did it to get more information. Especially if it let you pass your DADA exam.' I nodded slowly and clenched my fist.

'Does anyone have something for this?' I looked around and saw Pansy nod.

'I do… but I'm not going to let you use it. You deserve to feel the pain.' she sneered at me and my eyes narrowed into slits.

'Skank.' I snarled and stood up, storming out the room and to my room.

I was awoken in the early hours of the morning by a knock on the door. I rushed to it and saw Hermione. 'Herman, what are you doing here?' I hugged her and she took my hand.

'We need to go, Harry saw another vision. We're going to the Ministry.' I nodded and nearly closed the door.

'give me 5 minutes.' I shut the door and quickly wrote a not on some spare parchment.

Potter had a vision. I am going with them to ministry. If a trap tell the others that I cannot reveal my true loyalties yet. H.M.B

I put on some clothes and sent the note before running out to join Hermione.
