Chapter 4

Professor Snape got up and went to Sia. He said, "Do not joke like that!" Then, at the same time, Professor McGonagall said, "Snape, she was not lying, I saw it too." Midnight was silent throughout their conversation. She was utterly confused. Her mother? A death eather? Of course this was some kind of joke.

Suddenly, and owl swooped down and left a letter on Mdinight's half-empty plate. Midnight slowlly opened it. The letter was from her father, it said:

Dear Midnight,

I am really sorry to tell you, that You-Know-Who, hypnotized you mother into becoming a Death Eater. I am in a dungeon, for I also have been captured. Death Eaters plan on killing me, for I am a mere muggle. In the dungeon with me is Harry Potter, Hermione Grager, and Ronald "Ron" Weasley. The Dark Lord says that he will kill all of us, but Harry Potter. As you know, if Harry Potter dies, so will the Dark Wizard. You must save me and your friends Hermione and Ron. If you don't, then I will be dead, and your mother will be under You-Know-Who's power forever.

Love James, your father.

Midnighht got up, slowly walking towards Professor Dumbledore. Everyone was staring at her and whispering. When she reached him, she slowly handed him the paper, and burst out crying. Dumbledore read the letter, and sighed. He then said, "Midnight, we cannot save them. Voldemort's dungeon is very heavily gaurded." The Midnight replied, in tears, "But I have to save him! He is my father, I must. If he dies, I will have no parent, because I don't have any godparents. My mother's and father's friends and family hated them after they got married. Only because my mom married a muggle, and my dad married a witch. Please Professor, PLEASE, WE MUST SAVE THEM!"

Ivy came running towards them, she said, "Professor, me, Midnight, Darius, and Ginny Weasley will go free them. Dumbledore turned around and replied, "Very well, you are third years, and Ginny Weasley is in fourth year, I believe you are capable on this journey." Midnight stopped crying, and said, "Thank you Professor, my father's life depends on me, and I won't let him down."
