The next few weeks everything went downhill. Umbridge was slowly taking control of the whole school and everyone suffered under it. To make matters worse, I kept getting detention. Meaning my arm was getting worse and worse. In fact Draco and I got into bit of a fight because of it, asking me if I was okay, before gently grabbing my arm. But the pain I felt had caused me to pull away from him with a yell for him to not touch me last night. Now here I was on a Saturday sitting in the library with my face resting on the table letting my tears fall onto and empty piece of parchment. I was miserable pushing people away, again. "Hey..." I looked up and saw Draco looking at me concerned. He sat down next to me placing a hand on the table. I reached for it with my own. "I'm sorry for yelling at you…." "It sounded like I was hurting you…" I nodded slowly, "She uses blood quills and whatever the person writes with it appears on them...like a cut or scratch…" I sat up and unbuttoned my flannel shirt showing him my arm. "What….that can't be legal…?" "It isn't...but I can't send an owl to my mother. Umbridge intercepts the letters from certain students or to certain locations." He frowned and looked at my arm. "Were you able to feel it..?" "Well my arm felt sore in certain places...so I guess so…"

Pulling my shirt back on and buttoning it up. "There has to be a way of getting to your mother...what if we leave school grounds….and send the owl…we could try how I'm not sure" I looked at him for a second before smiling as an idea popped into my head. "I do. I know how...we will today… meet me on the bridge near Hagrid's in thirty minutes." I kissed his cheek before packing my things and running off. I ran to the Gryffindor tower trying to find harry with no success. "Where could he be?" "Looking for harry, they took off...they are going to get to the ministry or something...didn't go into much detail…" I turned to Seamus and Dean sitting at a small table. "You guys share a dorm...you wouldn't happen to know where he keeps...a stack of parchment that's all folded up?" "I think I have seen him hide it at the bottom of his trunk…" "Could you grab it for me...?" Dean nodded and got up went to the dorm. "So they actually are going through with their plan…." "Well to be fair after the thing the twins pulled, things just got more terrible...plus he keeps saying something about a Padfoot…" I looked at the Irish boy and frowned hoping Padfoot will be okay. "Here it is. It's blank no idea why he hides it…" I grabbed the parchment and smiled. "Thanks."

After I rushed to my dorm grabbing a bit of money and a whistle I headed down to the bridge and smiled when Draco stood there waiting for me. I jumped onto his back and giggled. He grabbed my legs and carried me. "Where to?" "The whomping willow…" He paused but continued to move towards the tree. I chuckled as he continued to carry me there all the way. "Okay stop here…" I had looked at the map in my dorm. I looked at the tree and stepped closer until it began moving slowly. I took my wand and aimed at the spot indicated on the map. "Knox…" and the tree froze, "Quickly." I grabbed Draco's hand and lead him through the small tunnel under ground. "Where is this tunnel leading to" "the shrieking shack…" He paused in his step before quickly catching up. After a bit of a walk we reached the cracking building. I found an intact window and opened it, considering the doors were barred. I climbed out of it and smiled at Draco who followed. Closing the window after him. We both walked out of the fenced area, actually we ran after we both heard something snap. We laughed as we finally reached the entrance of the fenced area. I held on to him as I caught my breath. He took my hand and we began walking towards the small village.

"We could always hang out after sending the letter. Have lunch or something…" Smiling I nodded excited for today. "Sure I actually had the same idea…" Walking through streets it actually was nice and quiet not being crowded with students. We found a place to mail the letter from, I paid extra to have it marked urgent and delivered immediately before leaving the shop. We than went to the three broomsticks for lunch. We were generally having a good time. Walking back to the castle nearly at sunset we were laughing and smiling. I walked up to the Gryffindor tower to and went straight to bed, feeling more tired hoping it wasn't my condition returning or getting worse. Somebody shook me awake and told me to come along quickly. It was past midnight and all of us were walking to the great hall in our pajamas. I spotted Draco and immediately rushed over before Parkinson could reach him and took his hand. "What's going on…?" "No idea...but apparently Umbridge has something to declare." I looked at him with a frown before we knew it we all stood in the great hall by our house tables. I glanced at Draco before looking ahead where all the teachers stood and then Umbridge, who looked as if she had been dragged through the mud. "This was the final straw, with the authority presented to me I declare that this school will be shut down for good." Whispers erupted around the hall some students even cried. "Once you return to your dormitories you will pack your belongings and leave at dawn, letter will be send to your guardians and parents! This school has done nothing but created trouble in our world"

"BOLLOCKS!" Was all that left me before freezing up all eyes turning in my direction. "Excuse me, Ms. Celestral…" I stared at her and took a deep breath as she scowled into my direction. "I said bollocks…." I began walking towards the front. "The only thing that has caused trouble in our world are the worthless cowards sitting in high places within the ministry! Thinking they know what's happening when they have never spend a day on the field! And a minister who is in BLOODY DENIAL!" Students parted like the sea as I continued walking up to the front of the hall. "Minster who decided to threaten one of his best aurors with her child's education to keep her silent! But there will be no silence! Not from me." Umbridge recomposed herself and frowned. "Your mother is nothing but a Liar who used her supposed deeds during the war to glorify her name…" "My mother to this day dedicates her very life to our world trying to keep it safe!" My voice echoed in the hall as everyone fell silent. "As is our father!" I turned to Tanor and Taylor who walked up and stood beside me. Soon followed by others who shared our fears of losing a parent in duty. "Your parents...yours in particular Celestral are holding on to the past! To a man that no longer exists!" "Just like the blood Quills you used on my daughter don't exist!"

Silence fell once more as we all turned to the double doors finding my mother standing there, furious as can be. "There was no glory in the war, only pain and loss…" She began walking to the front students parting for her before watching her in awe as she walked by. "I had lost my friend! And I just lost my best friend tonight! To the same BLOODY MAN. BECAUSE THE MINISTRY IS MOSTLY RUN BY SPINELESS COWARDS!" Tears, there were actual tears in the eyes of my mothers and I wasn't sure if they were tears of sorrow or rage, perhaps a combination of both. "There are no such quills in my possession…" "DO NOT LIE TO ME DOLORES!" My mother threw a box onto the floor and the quills spilled onto the floor. "You are under investigation for child abuse, illegal use of potions and discipline methods and for putting your hands on my daughter" Umbridge raised her wand but my mother was quicker disarming her before morphing into her animagus form and pouncing on her as a lioness, knocking the woman in pink on her back. Growling and snarling my mother kept her pinned down until two other Aurors came through the doors one of them being Terry and the other from Azkaban. She got off the woman and allowed the others to lift her up and cuff her, before morphing back. "No one crosses me and gets away with it..." They escorted Umbridge out of the hall the students cheering in triumph "Kids go back to bed, Hogwarts will remain open… no need to write your parents of what happened my department already covered it. Now off you all go…" My mother has addressed the hall with her back to us. The prefects ushered the students back to their houses, but I refused rushing to my mother's side hugging her. "What happened...mom who did we lose?" I looked at her as both my father and professor McGonagall stood close. "Pads…" with that she pulled me into her arms before crumpling to the floor on her knees as she cried. I wanted to cry but for some reason couldn't, I simply sunk to my knees next to her and pulled her into a hug like she had done for me so many times as I cried.
