Neville sat on a bench on Hogwarts ground. He had been extremely quiet as of late. Since Bellatrix was out he had been working much harder on his study's and barely did anything else besides going to the D.A.
"Neville, are you alright?" Emily asked him. Neville just nodded. "I know your lying."
"How?" Neville asked her.
"It's this little power I have." Emily told him.
"Right." He mumbled unconvinced.
"Are you sure your alright? You seem a bit distant..." Emily told him.
"Who cares?"
"Everyone."
"Right."
"Well I care, you don't seem yourself after.... She escaped." Neville nodded.
"I'll kill her." Neville said. "She did this to my parents, and I'll kill her." Neville seemed to be determined.
Draco saw his father at Hogsmeade. "Father... what are you doing here?"
"Your to come with me." Lucius said grabbing Draco by the arm. Draco looked around and saw Crabbe and Goyle's father doing the same to their son.
Draco, Crabbe and Goyle were pushed into the center of the circle of people in black cloaks. Then a red head was forced into the circle, and into Draco's arms. Draco recognized her as Ginny.
"Ginny." He breathed.
"Don't kill me." She said softly. Two other girls were pushed into the circle, one was Hufflepuff and the other was a Ravenclaw; Draco couldn't recognize The Hufflepuff, the Ravenclaw had hair like Luna's which worried Draco, but once she looked up he recognized it wasn't Luna. A man, that the Death Eaters bowed down to stood in front of the six teens.
"Goyle, kill her." Goyle got his wand and said.
"Avada Kendavra!" The girl died instantly. Next was Crabbe, he did the same to his girl. Then Voldemort ordered Draco too. He saw a thresal to the right of the Death Eaters, where there was a opening. Draco threw Ginny down to the floor. Voldemort smirked. Draco walked up to her, his wand extended towards her. He stood above her, and picked her up, he grabbed her by the waist and got himself and Ginny on the thresal.
"Hogwarts." Draco said to the thresal, who flew avoiding the curses and jinxs of the death eaters. As they arrived at Hogwarts grounds they stopped at Hadgrid's Hut. Draco got off and then he helped Ginny off of the thresal.
"Thanks." Ginny said.
"No problem."
"Why'd you do it?" Ginny asked him.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean why'd you save me, you could have become a death eater."
"I didn't want to." Draco told her and walked away. Ginny walked after him.
"Why not? I mean... I had always thought since your father..."
"I'm not a fan of my father." Draco told her. "Or my family period."
"I had always just assumed..."
"You should learn not to assume things."
"Well you did call Hermione mudblood, did you not?"
"I was taught to live life like that, I was never allowed to form my own opinions."
"Are any of us allowed to?" Ginny asked him.
"Yea well it was worse for me, if I disrespected my father he put crucio on me."
"Merlin's beard."
"Yea... But I knew my father was hiding something from me in basement so this summer I finally had enough guts to walk down there."
"And?"
"Well surely you know the rest..."
"You mean...Kellie?" Draco nodded
Harry and Cho's date hadn't gone good in the least. After a talk with Hadgrid Harry found Hermione.
"How did the date go?" She asked before they arrived at a table.
"Badly." He said. Harry could have sworn he saw Hermione smile, but when he took a double-take, she seemed to have a straight face. Then Hermione told Luna, Rita and he what exactly her plan was. And the interview began...
After Hogsmeade Harry and Hermione sat down to eat in the great hall. "So Harry how did you date end so badly?" Harry explained it to her, and Hermione explained what Harry should have said.
"And you should have also told her how ugly you think I am."
"But I don't think your ugly." Harry told her. Hermione smiled at him.
"Sure you don't..." She said, Ron plopped himself down at the table before Harry could respond to Hermione. "So how was your date with Emily?" Hermione asked Ron.
"It was not a date...was it?" Ron asked Hermione who just shook her head at Ron.
The next day Harry had gotten load of mail about the quibbler interview.
"Ron found a letter with a photo. "Wow." Fred, Harry and George looked over.
"Oh yea now I could masterb- Why hello my sweet Katie." Fred was cut off as he saw Katie coming over. Umbridge came to talk to them Ron hid the photo in his pocket.
"Now why, Mr. Potter do you have all these letters?"
"Is it a crime to get mail?" George asked.
"Watch yourself Mr. Weasley. Now Mr. Potter."
"I did an interview, read it for yourself." He said handing her a quibbler magazine.
Later that day the quibbler magazine was banned, with decree number Twenty- seven. Harry came face-to-face with Draco. "Thanks Potter." He said, with what seemed great strength and left.
"Thanks?" Harry whispered to himself in confusion.
Hermione, Ron, Emily, Ginny and Harry were in the library.
"He said thanks, Potter; isn't that a bit strange?"
"He has been hanging out with Loo-Luna." Ron corrected himself as he saw Emily's stare.
"That's not it." Ginny said. Ginny hadn't told anyone about what had happened. "On Valentine's day, he saved me. And he told me about his life."
"Saved you from what?" Ron asked Ginny.
"Death Eaters." Hermione's eyes widened
"Merlin." Emily said.
"He was supposed to kill me, so he could get the Dark Mark, but instead of converting to a Death Eater like Crabbe and Goyle did, he saved me, we used a thresal to get out."
"Well then..." Harry said. "So he's not bad."
"No, not completely. He's still a git but, he's not evil." Ginny said.
"Okay that's good...I suppose." Ron said. "Did he touch you in any suggestive ways?" Ron asked Ginny, who just rolled her eyes.
During a Occlumency lesson Harry and Snape heard a scream they found that Trenlaway was fired, and Dumbledore found a new teacher, Firenze. Hermione seemed to not think it was a good idea Dumbledore hired Firenze, as it seems that Hermione had the idea that Umbridge would be out to sack him also.
Dobby came into the Room, not too shortly did Malfoy. "She's coming!" Dobby said.
"Who is she?"
"Umbridge." Draco said. Luna looked at him in confusion. Several people looked at Draco ready to raise their wands.
"He's fine you guys." Ginny said walking in front of him.
"He's Malfoy for Merlin's sake!" George said.
"What happened?" Harry asked Draco.
"She knows, don't know how. She got a squad of Slytherin's coming, I followed Dobby." He said. Harry nodded.
"Well RUN!" Harry told the D.A.
"I have to capture someone, she'll suspect." Draco said.
"Then catch me." Harry told Draco.
"No Harry, not after your last detentions." Hermione said.
"You and Ron have to go, your prefects."
"He can catch me then." Ginny said.
"You could be banned from the team." Harry said. "I'll take the punishment. Just leave." The others nodded and ran. Shortly after Harry ran.
Draco shot a jinx at him. "Tripping jinx, Potter!" Draco said proudly. "Hey professor - PROFESSOR! I've got one." Umbridge ordered Draco to get the others. He checked the girls bathroom and saw pretty much what looked like all the girls from the D.A there.
"Where is he?" Hermione asked him.
"Dumbledore's office." He told Hermione "Listen you have to get to your common room, make sure you don't seem like your out of breath." Hermione nodded.
"What's going to happen to him?" Katie asked.
"I don't know..." Draco told him, as the door opened again, they were all relieved to see it wasn't a Slytherin, but it was Kellie.
"Kellie?" Draco, Hermione and Ginny said at the same time.
"Well I am an auror, aren't I?" She said. She gave a invisibility cloak to Hermione.
"How'd you get this, it's Harry's..." Hermione asked her.
"I am an auror." She told Hermione. "Okay lets see, Ravenclaw's should be fine to get to their common room. So let's see that you, and your friend that ratted you all out, and Luna." Kellie said, and sent them out. "Hufflepuff's...she taught them a simple spell that would keep them invisible. Go." "That leaves you Gryffindor's, see if you can all fit in the cloak." Katie and Lavendar couldn't fit. "Okay I'll escort Katie, and Lavendar; you'll be fine." She said and escorted them.
She then went back to the headmaster's office. Where she put the unfreezing spell on. She saw Kingsley look at his watch then look back at her with a slight smile.
"Oh go on what's the cock-and-bull story this time? Potter's got a twin does he?" After a couple other things Fudge said Percy started laughing. Harry felt as though he could have kicked him. He also noticed that Kellie was trying very hard not to hit Percy.
They forced Marietta to say how long they'd been having these meetings, and Harry was shocked that she was lying. Dumbledore took the blame as the parchment Pansy had found said "Dumbledore's Army."
"No!" Harry said. Kingsley gave him a warning look and Kellie took him by the shoulder.
"Let him take the blame." She whispered to him.
"Well Shacklebot, Dawlish, Nightstorm take him to Azkaban."
"I'm afraid that's where we have a bit of a snag." Dumbledore said, "You see I'm not going to allow you to take me there." Dumbledore said.
"Do you really think you can take on Dawlish, Shacklebot , Nightstorm, Dolores, I an percy- okay well he'll be back soon enough." Fudge said as he realized he had ordered Percy to send the news to the daily phrophet. Harry swore he could have heard Kellie said;
"I wouldn't doubt it."
"Enough of this take him!" A silver light flashed around the room he felt someone take him to the ground, after all the flashing was done. Harry got up and saw Mcgonnagal was the one that took him down.
"Are you alright." Dumbledore asked.
"Yes!" She said, getting up, dragging Marietta with her.
"Unfortuantly I had to hex Kingsley and Kellie also. They both preformed well. Kingsley with his memory modification and Kellie with her freezing spell. Thank them both for me, won't you, Minerva?" She nodded.
"So long, act as though we haven't spoken. Lay back down on the ground." Dumbledore told Harry to study as hard as he could and he was gone with a flash of fire. They ly back on the ground and got up mere seconds after Fudge.
The next day Decree number twenty-eight came out announcing Umbridge was their new headmistress. They were talking about Umbridge when Draco came up from behind them.
"Don't scare me like that!" Hermione said, Draco just smirked.
"But it's just so much fun." Hermione glared at him. "Anyhow to the point", he pointed to a 'I' below his prefect's badge.
"What in Merlin's name is that?" Ginny asked. Draco felt his mouth dry out as she looked at him. He regained his posture and explained.
"Umbridge made a squad, we're allowed to dock house points... give detention...you get my drift... watch out, mostly just Slytherin's." Harry nodded. Draco turned to see Pansy coming over, Hermione noticed a bruise on his jaw.
"What happened?"
"None of your buisness mudblood." Hermione looked at him strangely. Ron saw Pansy, and took out his wand.
"Stay away from her you ferret." Ron said, Harry and Ginny noticed Pansy now too.
"Five points for your wand pointed at him, and another five points for calling him a ferret." Hermione glared at Pansy.
