Shitza: WAAAAAAAAAAAH! I am so terrible sorry for the late update again, but once more ideas were slow and I've been ill for some days, which delayed big parts. Okay, I still don't feel well enough, but at least I could start concentrating again.
I have decided to make this up with a double update, which mean that once this is done there will be another chapter straight after. Since this still is my most popular story, or so it seems at the moment, I do want to finish this soon. My goal is before the summer.
WARNING: Some bad language in this, something not recommended in using.

Chapter 39 Fighting for the Future
Fudge had taken one step too far. He and Umbridge had not only started a revolt against the Order, but also broken every single law against Security towards Muggles. Usually war between wizards was held where no Muggles could be hurt, but those rules weren't followed this time. Indeed Moody vomited at the sight of Umbridge playing around with a muggle woman in the air. With a flick of her wand she sent her flying, landing luckily in a bush. She laughed manically.
The Order had been on their usual meeting when all of sudden the room had been blasted and around fifty loyal aurors to the duo had turned up to arrest them. The order had bravely fought back and still stood. Many had fallen, most stunned or knocked out. One had died being blasted through a wall and then having the roof caved down on him. Moody felt really sick. He was more used seeing Death eaters do these things, but Umbridge and Fudge weren't death eaters and so were none of the aurors that helped them. Indeed, most of these everyone knew as friends or companions. Now they were enemies.
Tonks, who was still standing blew two of the aurors wands away with a powerful gust charm. Moody stunned two on his way. During the battle, as the house soon had fallen, they were now fighting openly at the streets, news cameras on them. From a helicopter above every single muggle in the world would be able to follow this.
In the middle of everything Dolores stood like some mighty goddess laughing. By her side stood Fudge, and the little wimp looked more like her puppet then a man of power.
The aurors slowly gained the upper hand of the battle, as a wall crashed down upon a quarter of the members, completely burying them under bricks and wood. Tonks felt tears flow down her cheek since she knew Lupin had been over there, and with a hundred of brick stones over him she would be amazed if he would be fine.
Moody stunned an auror, but was in returned blown backwards by his friends. Tonks turned to see another of the aurors behind her, wands raised.
"It is over, evil half breeds. We have one!" Dolores said laughing evilly.
'We have failed' Tonks thought as someone carried her away.
'We have failed' Draco thought looking at Neville's bed. The Hufflepuff heir was still out cold, yet thankfully alive. Gods knew what could have happened to him.
"Oh Neville!" Hermione whispered crying softly into her boyfriends shoulder. Tears trickled down from her eyes, falling to the floor. By their side stood Sabina, holding her boyfriends hand. The Asian girl looked worried.
Harry and Ron were pacing the room, back and forwards, murmuring curses with every step. Cassandra watched them saddening, tears red from crying. More tears would come, she knew that.
Suddenly a cry came from the window and Eador flew in, closely followed by Hedwig, who looked sort of tired. The two birds landed on their masters' outstretched arms. Both carrying letters.
Eador nibbled Cassandra in the hair worryingly. The Ravenclaw sighed and took the letter, which had been held in the grand birds beak. Harry opened his about in the same time, both gasped as they read the same kind of news.
"Fudge is really going too far in this, not to count that Umbridge too!" Cassandra said. Hermione walked over to her to read, once she too had shared the news sparks seemed to fly from her eyes in anger.
Harry handed Ron his letter, sitting down worried. Draco, now curious from everyone else's behaviour, read over Ron's shoulder. He too shook his fists. There were things that could not be accepted, even in the Slytherin's eyes. And as he had changed as he had did, most for the better, all he could do was to slam his fists into one of the table, making the bottles of potions rattle dangerously.
"Such a wonderful time to start a fight, right!" Hermione said sarcastically. She sighed and looked worried over at Neville's bed. "Now what are we going to do, we can't leave Nev here you know!"
"We know Hermione, but some of us has to. If I would be the one to decide alone I think it would be the best if simply I went over there!" Harry said once more starting to pace around the room. Draco followed him with his eyes.
"Maybe, but we can't let only one handle this. Me and Hermione will follow, the rest WILL stay here, even if that means I will have to tie you up by a chair."
Ron didn't take this too lightly. He rose from his spot, seemed to grow several metres as his rage came. "What do you mean with that Malfoy!"
Draco sighed. "All I mean is that not all of us can go. After all next to Neville it's you who is the best in healing, and also you three have now lost great parts of your magic. I think it's best for all of us if you stay here!"
Cassandra nodded slowly, she fully understood his point. Ron murmured something unheard but didn't complain more. Harry, Hermione and Draco picked up their cloaks, held hands together, and with a flash the magic of three wonderful heirs took them to the specific place they were all needed in.
Tonks sighed heavily, after all it felt like someone had put a large chain around her neck, even if no one had she felt as If the heaven had fallen down on top of their heads.
She sat, completely humiliated in a separate cage from most others, with a sign under saying Metamorphic. The cage was also really small, like something for a dog, not a human. She looked over at another cave where Lupin lay. They had removed everyone from the battlefield, either living or dead. Well, only two people had died in all, from accidents they had caused. One member had had his wand blown on himself (a very powerful blow) and the other had fallen down from a tree (however she managed to do that). All in all, Lupin was fine. But felt like her, like an animal on a worthless zoo.
Around them people treated them like worse then animals, spitting and taunting them as they walked past. Tonks had never in her life felt ashamed by her powers, but now she wished she could be normal. No, what was she thinking, she was already normal. As normal as a person could be.
Two of the aurors passed her cage and headed towards another room. She sighed and sat down.
"God, if you help us out, I promise I'll be a really good girl and never ever say a bad word again, ever!" she whispered closing her eyes.
Does your wish come true? She doubted it. But she didn't doubt for long as with a flash three cloaked teens coughed from all dust that spread. Tonks looked up and laughed victoriously.
"Harry, Draco, Hermione!" she said.
Three heads turned and all three looked equally confused by seeing her in a cage. "Tonks, how on Earth did you land up in there?" Hermione asked as she walked over to her.
"I'll tell you as soon as you can get me out of this thing. My back is starting to hurt." She said tears trickling down her face. The trio nodded and Draco easily destroyed the lock, blowing it up to particles.
Tonks slowly climbed out, and started telling them.
"That bitch locked me and many other "half breeds" into these minimum cages. She said we weren't even fit to be called animals, especially not humans. She was thinking of throwing us all into some kind of exhibition."
"Now that is sick!" Hermione said wearing a look of disgust. Harry went over to unlock other small cages, where Umbridge had taken people like werewolves, dwarves, Muggles, half bloods, veelas and all other sorts of magical or unmagical folk.
"Tonks, and idea where we can find her?" Draco asked seeing this as completely sick and mad. Must touching and horribly was too see that most creatures that had been caught were babies or really young children, probably lured into traps.
Tonks pointed at the door at the very end of the room. I know she's somewhere there, but more I can't say since I have only been in this room. But both she, Fudge and all other aurors walk into that room.
Draco nodded. He pointed his finger at a small piece of dusty cloth on the floor and clearly said Portus. The cloth glowed green at first before the small luminous light faded.
"It will take you to Hogsmeade, from there you can all find you ways home. Good luck!" he said turning to the door. Harry followed him, looking as angry and raged as Ron had done. Hermione didn't look angry, but her insides were boiling.
Slowly they fought their way towards a giant chamber, with loads of cats and luxury.
Umbridge would have a very interesting day to see.
To Reviewers:
ron-and-dragon-lover: I am terribly sorry for the delay, but that was not according to my plan. I think I have never finished a chapter this quick, but I really wanted it done. Hope you enjoyed.
Ps: I couldn't say I'm back on track, but oh well. I've been so busy lately and ideas took so long to come. Sigh…
End Notes: Okay, it was a cliffhanger, but a new chapter will come soon! And I mean soon!
