Hermione's POV
"We have to save Sirius! I'm going to Ministry to save him, and you all should stay here, away from Voldemort and the Death Eaters and danger." Harry said frantically.
'Why are we trusting Kreature's word?'
"Harry, we're coming too," Ron said fiercely.
'He hates Sirius and would lie about Sirius going to the ministry.'
"But it's dangerous. You might get hurt or worse."
'He could be working with the Death Eaters. He does hate muggleborns and muggles.'
"You're our friend and we don't abandon our friends," Neville said with confidence he didn't have last year. Guess the DA improved his confidence. Good for him. He needed that.
'The Malfoy's are related to the Blacks. They could have told him to lie.'
"Yeah! No matter what you say, we're coming too." Ginny exclaimed.
'This could be a trap to kill Harry.'
"Ok fine, let's go. We don't have much time."
'Sirius isn't stupid enough to go out and You-Know-Who isn't stupid enough to accidentally send the vision to Harry, especially after what happened at Christmas.'
"How will we get to the Ministry?" Ron asked.
'Harry's told Snape and he must have told the order by now. Even he's not that cruel to let Sirius be tortured. Right?'
"By flying of course," Luna replied. She was a weird girl with a good heart. Always spouting some nonsense of BIlbering something or Snortgles. Those creatures don't exist.
'The order is more experienced than us and they'll be able to save Sirius better than us. We would be in their way.'
'Look,' said Ron 'you might be able to fly without a broomstick but the rest of us can't sprout wings whenever we-'
'If Harry goes, he'll be in danger.'
'There are ways of flying other than with broomsticks,' said Luna serenely.
'And if Sirius is there then he can handle a few more minutes of torture for Harry. He's proved he can do the impossible for him.'
"How? On your Kacky Snorgle or whatever it is?" Ron asked.
'I can't let Harry go.'
"The Crumple-Horned Snorkack can't fly," Luna said as if it should be obvious to everyone. "But they can, and Hagrid says they're very good at finding places their riders are looking for," Luna said, pointing to an empty part of the forest
'He won't like it, but I have to.'
Everyone turned to look there.
'Yes!' Harry whispered, moving towards there.
'Is it those mad horse things?' said Ron uncertainly, staring at Harry. 'Those you can't see unless you've watched someone snuff it?'
'Yeah,' said Harry.
'How many?'
'Just two.'
'Well, we don't need them.' I said.
Everyone looked at me.
"Look, I understand you don't want to go but I and the others are going," Harry said.
"No, you're not," I said firmly.
"I have to Hermione! Didn't you hear Kreature? Sirius went to the Ministry. He'll be in danger. We have to save him! He's my only family left!" Harry said frantically.
"We can't trust Kreature. He hates Sirius and is probably lying about him going to the ministry."
"We still have to check."
"It could be You-Know-Who's trap to lure you into the Department of Mysteries."
"Then why didn't Sirius himself answer the floo call?"
"Kreature could be working with the Death Eaters. He hates muggleborns and muggles. And the Malfoy's are related to the Blacks. They could have told him to lie and Kreature would have happily done that."
"But we all know how bad Sirius wants to get out. He might have given in to the urge and have been captured by the Death Eaters."
"Sirius isn't stupid enough to go out especially after what happened at the train station."
"And if he is there? He'll die and it'll all my fault."
"You've told Snape and he'll tell the Order. They'll save him if is there."
"I don't trust him. He is a Death Eater."
"Dumbledore trusts him so he must be trustworthy. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he won't help you or have you forgotten first year?"
"He doesn't like Sirius and he might let him suffer."
"Nobody except You-Know-Who is that cruel."
"And Bellatrix Lestrange." Neville piped up quietly.
"Yeah." I agreed.
"By the time the Order gets there it might be too late."
"He can handle a few more minutes of torture if is there. He escaped Azkaban for you, Harry."
"Look, we've wasted too much time arguing, we should go."
"I'm sorry Harry."
Taking out her wand and said Incarcerous.
"Hermione let me go. I have to save Sirius. He's my only family left. I have to save him. Hermione, please. Let me go." Harry struggled.
"It's a trap Harry, you have to understand. Until you do, Stupefy."
Harry fell limp in the ropes.
The others raised their wands at me.
"You're not Hermione. You must be a death eater under Polyjuice." Ron said, snarling.
"You attacked Harry; the real Hermione would never have done that," Ginny said.
"Tell us something that only the real Hermione would know," Ron demanded.
"In our second year, we brewed Polyjuice potion in Myrle's bathroom."
Satisfied, Ron lowered his wand.
Ginny and Neville looked confused but copied Ron and lowered their wands as well.
"You brewed Polyjuice potion in your second year?!"
"You brewed one of the most difficult potions in a bathroom?!"
"But why did you attack him?" Ron asked, gesturing towards Harry who was stunned in my ropes.
"He was going to rush to the Ministry, into what I'm 90% sure is a trap, and do something irrational. I had to stop him." I replied.
"Let's go make sure Snape has alerted the order." Ron decides.
"Wait a minute. Will someone explain what the fuck is going on here?" Neville said suddenly.
"Yeah. I think we should know what going on if we are going to be involved, Harry." Luna said, agreeing with Neville.
Oh right. Neville and Luna don't know what's happening.
"Well, Sirius Black is innocent and was framed for the murder of Peter Pettigrew and the 12 muggles." Ron blurted out.
"Yeah. And he didn't betray the Potter's to You-Know-who. Peter Pettigrew was the real secret keeper and Sirius was a decoy." Ginny continued.
"Peter was a rat animagus and blew up the street, cut off his finger, turned into a rat and escaped, framing Sirius for his murder," I said, taking over from Ginny.
"Peter then lived with us as Scabbers, my rat, for 12 years," Ron said, shuddering at the memory of his old pet.
"Eventually, Sirius found out about Pettigrew's whereabouts and escaped Azkaban to kill Pettigrew, not Harry," I told them.
"But Professor Lupin transformed into a werewolf and Pettigrew escaped," Ginny said.
"And now, Sirius is on the run from the Ministry of Morons," Ron said.
"Ron!" I reprimanded.
"What? It's true." He protested.
"And what about the order you were talking about?" Neville asked.
"Should we tell them about the order?" I asked uncertainly.
"We should since they are involved with Harry and will be involved in his adventures," Ginny replied.
"It's the Order of the Phoenix, a group made by Dumbledore to fight You-Know-Who during the first war and now since he's back Dumbledore started it again," Ron explained.
"So, are you part of the order?" Luna asked.
"No, mum says we're 'too young' to join," Ginny said, clearly showing everyone what she thought of that.
"I say that's total bullshit," Ron said.
"Language Ron."
"We've been through more than some of them," Ron said angrily.
"They weren't possessed by You-Know-Who himself and survived!" Ginny exclaimed.
"They should let at least Harry join. He's been through more than they can imagine." I said.
"We've reached the Snape's office," Luna announced.
