A/N: Hi peoples. You know what is the most unpleasant thing ever? It is to be alone in a house. And just in any house in a huge dark one. That is me at this moment. Oi, it is not pleasant. Now, this chappy is really short, but you'll be happy… if you get what this is about.
batbones- I know you read the previous chapter, but you need to review it.
Mandrake Queen- Sorry I didn't answer your review. I guess it kinda blew by me. Why were in the hospital? And I'm dedicating this chapter to you, to prove I'm sorry.
krillball6- Here's the long awaited Ch. 45. Hope you enjoy it.

The year flew by in a breeze. Graduation was a magnificent event for all the seventh years.
"Now, missy, time to go," said one of the wizards to Jacqueline.
"One moment," said the other. She stared one last time at the Great Hall and the four hour glasses that kept track of the house points. This year Ravenclaw won the House Cup and Gryffindor the Quidditch Cup. She sighed and walked outside with the ministry wizards following her with drawn wands. They still couldn't touch her and that was a huge worry to them. Because of that, they were traveling to the island by broom. Jacqueline saw Hermione talking to Ron a few ways away. Walking right behind them was Harry with Rosalin Stratton, a Ravenclaw. She and Harry have been dating for the last two and a half months.
Jacqueline sighed as she was seeing the world for the last time. A tear escaped her eye as she saw the blonde head of Draco. She turned away and mounted her broom.

"Your wand?" said Fudge, as Jacqueline entered the Prison.
Jacqui motioned to one of the wizards. He pulled out her wand and handed it to Fudge. He took it and proceeded to break it. A bright light issued from Jacqueline. When everyone could again see clearly they saw Jacqueline on the floor one of her hands holding onto a table as if of support.
"What was that?" thought Fudge. He looked at Jacqui and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I guess I fell," she said, standing up slowly.
"You dropped something," said one of the wizards.
Jacqueline looked down and saw her pendant there. She frowned and picked it up by the chain. She then noticed that it was split in half. She stared at it with worried eyes. She flipped it over in her hand and then heard the minister say, "Ms. Riddle, follow this man here."
"I'm free," she whispered.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm free," she said and looked up at the minister with bright eyes.
"I… what?"
"Sir, give me another trial. I'll explain everything," said Jacqueline hurriedly.
"Will you give up already?" asked Cornelius.
"Please."
Fudge let out an exasperated sigh and said, "Fine, then promise to leave me alone?"
"I promise."
"I'll arrange something for tomorrow."
Jacqueline nodded.
