A/N Here we go! The Ministry's got somethign big planned... and so do I...

The Griffendors encircled the people in danger. They were most certainly not going to let them fall into the hands of the Ministry of Magic. Harry glanced at Amber It's always someone isn't it? Well, here we go again Amber. At least I'm not the only one who's constantly in the thick of things.

Harry was not surprised when Amber looked at him. Being the lagenamenze she was he knew she'd heard him. She nodded before looking down at the still form of Reamus Lupin. They all hoped he'd only been hit by a stunner.

Draco knelt beside him checking his pulse, "He's just been stunned, don't worry Amber," he smiled in spite of the situation understanding her concerned look.

Innervate said Herminie pointing her wand at Reamus.

He came around a second later and found himself sitting in the middle of a circle of protective looking young people with wands out and eyes alert. With Luscious gone he wondered why.

"What's happened now?" he asked getting to his feet

"The Minister what else," Harry said sarcastically.

"What are you-"

"-This is your last chance to surrender peacefully. If you do not then we will be forced to remove the individuals forcefully," the voice of the representative came through clear and sharp, "You have five minuets."

The diplomat of the group; Amber took a breath and began to speak, "We have not heard any charges placed on them sufficient enough to hand them in to the Ministry, and thus refuse to do so."

Draco saw their determination and was glad he was on their side. He looked to Reamus who seamed deeply troubled about something. He asked, "There's something I haven't picked up on. I understand why they want me but-"

"I know that's what I'm curious about." Reamus answered his unasked questioned.

"Deputy Minister of cleansing they refuse to release them to us," informed the Ministry official.

"Yes, I thought they would, have we identified who we're dealing with?" she queried.

"We know for certain the Werewolf Lupin, The Malfoy boy, Herminie Granger, the Americans Aziza Cano and Emily Charles, and Ronald Wesley."

"What of the others?" she asked pursing her lips.

"The Potter boy and Hursman, should we be concerned with their safety?"

The woman's eyes glittered, "They have refused; so who could say, accidents happen. If it is avoidable then we better not risk it."

"What about the others?"

"They are dispensable," she concluded in mater of fact way, "Do you understand?"

"Yes, Madam Umbrage." He saluted and left her with the information.

Now alone in the office she smiled at a new piece of paper on her desk. It was headed "Magical Cleansing Act" This gave her the power to arrest and confine half-breeds and anyone remotely connected with the Dark Lord. "Soon you will join them Dumbeldor; and all your precious muggle-born brats too." She said sweetly her face twisting with an evil smile.

"Ember we need you!" Amber called and in a burst of flame she appeared hovering over them. Aziza being a transformomargus now looked exactly like Lupin. Harry and Draco had exchanged cloaks. They all were worried about what might happen but didn't have anymore time to consider other options.

"Everyone clear on the plan?" Harry asked sheakely, "Draco?"

"Going with Reamus to Dumbeldor's office," he replied, "We will alert him of the situation and send Ember back for the rest of you."

"Aziza, Amber?" Harry asked

"We're going with you into the forest where we'll be picked up by either the Ministry or Ember whoever comes first." Aziza supplied

"OK, Good Luck everyone else. Let's go you two."

Harry pulled up the hood of his cloak and dodged out of the group with the other two. At that moment Ember took flight with Reamus and Draco. Herminie, Ron, and Emily ran toward the castle.

A/N Well do you think they'll all make it? I guess that's up to me isn't it...?
