Ron and Seamus started laughing uproariously. "He looked just like McGonagall!" Ron said as he grabbed his side, Seamus nodded in agreement. "How scary is that?" Elian laughed softly as Harry stormed off.

"Harry!" Elian called after her brother, laughter still in her voice. "Don't be sore! It was just a joke!" Harry's middle finger unexpectedly shot up. "Harry James Potter! You are so going to pay for that!" She then ran after her brother and tackled him.

"Get the fuck off of me, Elian!" Harry yelled up at her, she then punched him hard across the mouth. "What the fuck did you do that for?" The four other teens ran over to them.

"There was no need for your rude response! It was totally uncalled for, Harry!" Hermione and Ginny nodded quickly in agreement. "Do you ever think before you act?"

"Do you?" he responded causing Elian to slide off of him. "Well?" Ron looked at Seamus in confusion, who by the way looked just as confused as Ron.

"Eli?" Ginny whispered softly as she knelt down next to her friend. "Are you okay?" she asked, Elian nodded slowly.

"You're right, Harry. Most of the time I don't think before I act…but, that's just how I am, you know. Apparently it's in my blood." Harry chuckled when Elian said this. "On both sides." She continued.

"Mates, I think we should get back up to the castle…. Like now!" They looked at Seamus concerned. "This is no time to look concerned! Well, it is..." Harry stood up, pulling Elian with him.

"Alright, Seamus. What's going on?" Ron asked, looking around. Seamus quickly pointed up at the castle. All five teens' eyes were wide as they took in the sight of Death Eaters swarming the castle. "It's that damn Malfoy's doing! He's let them in!"

"No… there's no way…" Elian whispered disbelievingly as she slowly and unconsciously started running towards the castle. 'This can't be happening! There's no way Draco would let this happen here of all places! There's no way he'd let this happen at all!' She could feel her brother and friends right behind her.

Once the five of them walked into the entrance hall, they could hear screams from down in the dungeons. "Harry, what are we going to do?" Ginny asked fearfully as he held her tightly to him. Elian looked back at her brother and Ginny, then at Ron and Hermione, who were also in each others arms, she suddenly felt all alone and tears started forming in her eyes.

"I don't know Gin…I honestly don't know." Harry whispered as he lightly kissed Ginny's lips, catching her by surprise. Ron averted his eyes and glanced over at Elian who stood silently sobbing.

"Why don't you guys head up to the Common Room and see who is up there…" she said softly as she turned to face her brother, who shook his head.

"No, what are you going to do all by yourself?" he asked, Ginny gently slipping from his arms, then walked over to Elian, a look of slight comprehension on her face.

"You're going to look for him aren't you?" Ginny asked her, her voice barely a whisper. Elian shook her head violently. "Then why do you want us to go?" She smiled at Ginny reassuringly.

"I'm not going to him…and he's not coming to me. I want to do something to help in a war that I've had no idea has been waging since my brother was born… that I should have been a part of…That's why I'm doing this." She replied Harry scoffed loudly as did Ron and Hermione. "Look, I don't expect you to agree with what I want to do…but I want you to understand!" With that Elian quickly hugged her brother and ran off towards the dungeons.

"Elian, come back here right now!" Harry yelled as he started after her, Ginny quickly grabbed his arm. "Ginny! Let go of me! I have to stop her!" Ginny closed her eyes slowly and smiled serenely.

"She knows what she's doing, Harry…after all she is Sirius' daughter." She said calmly, Harry sighed angrily. "Harry, if you don't let her do what she thinks is best right now, in this moment, she's going to believe you don't think she's capable of handling Voldemort or the Death Eaters." Hermione nodded in agreement, while Harry and Ron scoffed.

"Sisters… see, I told you Hermione, more trouble then they're worth." Ron said smiling slightly. "Let's get up to the Common Room. Elian's right, we do have to see who's up there, plus we kinda need reinforcements you know…" Harry nodded reluctantly in agreement, and then followed Ginny, Hermione and Ron up to Gryffindor Tower.
