Harry Potter and the order of phoenix

By Maddy

Chapter 24

It had been a month since Sirius' trial. He had got so many sorry letters that he might as well have been Father Christmas. Harry was heading towards Muggle Studies with Ron and Nicola; Hermione was at a head prefect meeting she would be there when the lesson started though. (I know they don't mention them in the books but what the heck?) The walked into the muggle studies classroom, which was full of, excited babbling. Today they were going to use the Internet for the first time.

Petunia walked in smiling clearly as over excited as the others. She was wearing robes which she had taken upon wearing and was now keeping her blond hair out, it reached mid back. "As you all know we're using the Internet today. First of all could you all please but an Internet screen up? To do this you press the blue 'E' with the ring going around it. Then type in www.google.com in the address bar. You're going to use the Internet to look up any thing about the muggle world. But I want it typed up on the computer so yes that means you have to come here after school. I want at least three pages in size 12 font. Now get to it."

Three minutes later Neville put his hand up. "Professor Evans I don't know what's happened but look." The whole class turned Hermione looked back disgusted while the male members carried on looking. "I thought I had put a Internet lock thingy on this. Oh well don't worry Neville just press the back button and go back to what ever you were doing."

Petunia rolled her eyes, she knew she shouldn't have let Fred and George put the locks onto the computers. She got out Lord of the rings one of her favourite books that had so many dog-eared pages it might as well have been a library book. "Oh and before I forget," she said looking up "don' just copy from the internet and print it off I can tell. I may be a mere muggle but I can tell."

The class looked at her but carried on reading. She started humming while reading apparently in a rather good mood for no particular reason.

The bell rang. "God lord is it that time already? You can all go I'll close down and save every thing for you." The class got up and left annoyed that the time had ended all ready.

As Eleanor went through the pages they had been on she was very surprised. The computer station that Hermione had been working had FBI files up. Hermione had somehow broken into the FBI. Later she found someone had been researching cures for madness and loss of memory on the NHS this was Neville's station she thought he would look up muggle gardening. Most other stations were quite normal, football, Buffy the vampire slayer? That she wouldn't guess, muggle divination, muggle sports, muggle books. Petunia sighed she had tried doing this with other classes and she always ended up getting people comparing muggles and witches and wizards and magic folk always came up top.

They never stopped to notice the fact that it was muggles who invented the steam engine, if they didn't how did they get to Hogwarts before that? Muggles invented electricity, though magical folk didn't use electricity it interfered with magic and such they could learn from it. Petunia came up with the conclusion that witches and wizards would not be able to live without muggles. With that she started writing.

The Gryffindor common room was unusually rowdy today Fred and George were determined to leave 7th year with a bang after all it was June only 3 weeks and school would be over. Hermione, eagerly waiting the end of year tests which were next week, was deducting houses points every five minutes but eventually gave up due to the fact that they'd be in minus figures by the end of the day.

"Hermione, could you please give us back those points?"

"No Fred, I will not."

"How do you know I'm Fred?"

"Because George is over there shouting I'm George the magnificent. If you don't tell your other half to shut up I'll take 200 points of Gryffindor and I'm not joking."

"You're no fun."

Hermione smiled but went back to her studying. Suddenly there was a huge crash. Hermione looked up. "200 hundred points from…. Voldemort?"

Indeed in the middle of the common room was Voldemort looking around the room. Pupils were screaming trying to get out of the room. Voldemort was laughing harshly at them sending out Avada Kedavra at them as they were climbing out of the portrait. "Oh god." Muttered Hermione. "Harry?" she looked around she couldn't see Harry.

"Hermione I'll find him." Said Nicola immediately turning into a moth. Hermione looked around. There was a gaping hole in the wall where Voldemort had got in. Hermione had now stood up surveying the room. Her normal senses going off line. 'I'm stuck in a room with a dark wizard who kills muggle borns for tea.' She frowned 'if this is the way I'm going to die, I'll do it with dignity.' She was about to walk towards Dumbledore when she felt a tug at her robe. She looked down to see Crookshanks. She could have jumped for joy. She quickly got a piece of parchment and wrote

The Gryffindor tower is being attacked

Hermione

She gave the parchment to Crookshanks and said "you have secret passages just for cats take this and go to McGonnagal or Dumbledore in fact go to the first teacher you find."

She looked down to the cat and smiled 'at least if I die I'll have tried to save others.'

A moth flew up to her and changed into Nicola. "He's under the invisibility cloak I don't know what he's doing just muttering about pain, I don't know what to do."

"Tell him that people are being killed down here and that oh I don't know. Don't show Voldemort that he's scared." Nicola smiled, changed into a moth and flew off. Hermione's next thoughts were 'where is Ron? I'm going to die in a room full of people that I don't know that well as one is a moth the other in great pain but where the hell is Ron?'

***

A moth came up to him he swatted it away he was in far too much pain to mess around with annoying insects. The moth turned into Nicola. "Get down those steps now."

"But he'll kill me."

"Like he's tried to do since you were born. Why aren't you being a true Gryffindor?"

"Because I'm not a Gryffindor."

"Harry don't mess around with me get down those steps now! All of the people down there have done nothing absolutely nothing and they're being killed cos they're trying to escape."

Harry sighed, "If you're going to die Harry you might as well die a proud death instead of waiting on your bed with your invisibility cloak over you waiting to die."

"I could just wait for the teachers."

"How d'you think they'll get here? They don't know. I've even tied flying out the window to get help it won't work. He's put a spell over them."

Harry frowned "I guess I should the only reason he's here is to kill me."

"Well I guess you could put it that way but-"

Harry took the invisibility cloak off, got off the bed and started to go down the stairs. Nicola changed into a moth again and followed him.

***

Hermione was still standing sill in the room the rest of the house running around. "Where is Potter?" Voldemort demanded.

'Harry, oh god he's going to be killed. Crookshanks hurry up with the letter or the house and I are going to be dead.'

"I'm here." Said Harry coming down the stair cases.

"Too stupid and noble for your own good Potter." He pointed his wand at Harry "Avada Kedavra." A green shot when flying towards Harry's heart.



That's where I'm leaving you all in suspended animation. Oh well I've never given you a cliff hanger and this is probably the only one you'll get in this one so complain to me all you want. I'm hoping to get 100 reviews by the time I finish this story, I'm going up to chapter 30 and then it's finished.

I wrote this in Hermione's POV for an unknown reason. Where is Ron? I have absolutely no idea I'll come up with one later. I know Harry's being a bit of a wimp in this chapter but he has a right to be every one has a lil bit of Neville in them
