Thank you all for the reviews.
Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
(BSC 5 C61) C189 every minute is an hour.
Harry was still laughing after ten minutes. He had slowed down to a chuckle but he was still going. It took another five minutes before he had himself back under control. "It wasn't that funny Harry" Susan pouted a little.
"I think it is" and he almost started to chuckle again. "I was thinking of later tonight. We all know what is going to happen. At least some of it".
"how do you mean Harry" Luna asked softly. Harry looked at her questioningly. "Sorry Harry, It is not like I think about something and just see it. It is what I get through from the future. Also, I might see three things that are the same but all are with different outcomes. Then if I want to tell something I have to look really good at it, because everything I say can be worse later on".
"So I could die in one way and life in another" Harry asked her. Luna nodded and got little tears in her eyes. Tracy wrapped her arms around her and pulled her close. Harry wanted to get up but Tracy motioned him to sit back down because she had it.
Harry nodded and looked on as he sat back. "Tell me, Luna, what is wrong". Tracy asked her softly.
Luna wiped away some tears and smiled at them all. "I have not seen any of your deads yet. I only see some darkness at the end. It tells us the future is not jet set. It is being written as we go on. It might changes every minute but for now, I don't see anything. Lily is helping me a lot and I just wished she was with me sooner. I have seen the death of my mum before it happened. But I could not prevent it from happening".
Harry gave her a hard look. His heart was screaming to take her in his arms and just hold her. His mind went blank as he just stood and did what his heart wanted. Luna clung to him as she really started to cry. For the first time in her little life, she cried for her mum. Harry just held her because he knew the feeling. He had his mum back but it hadn't been so long that he did not. At that moment he knew that the dementors would give her the same memory as he had. The death of their mothers.
All the members looked at it and had a hard time keeping it dry themselves. But after a couple of minutes, Luna let go of him and gave him a deep closed-lip kiss. "Thank you big brother". Harry just smiled at her as he held his forehead to hers.
"Tell us, Harry, what is going to happen tonight," Tracy asked him.
"Tonight will be the night Voldemort is going to stand in front of me. Tonight we will have to get him to show himself to everyone". After he had said it he looked around the common room. Everyone was looking at him with big eyes. "What, you all knew he was back".
One of the boys of Hogwarts just shook his head. "We know Harry but you just said it like it is nothing". Harry frowned "It is still Voldemort you are talking about" the boy went on.
"NO," Harry told him. "His name is Tom Riddle. Just like many of us, he is nothing more than a half-blood. You all know it already. Now in the last couple of years, he did try and kill me on a number of occasions. He has not done it yet and we have been taking the fight to him. According to the family, he is afraid of me and we will make it".
All the members were just looking at him shaking their heads. They all knew he could back up his words when he was mad but this was even for him a little too much. "Stop being so arrogant Harry" Hermione snapped. None of the members wanted to say it but they were all thinking it. "We don't know what he is up to and how he will get us to come to him. The only thing we know is that it is at the ministry".
Harry pouted like a little kid. "Yes, mummy" making the house laugh.
"Prat" and Hermione smacked him on the back of his head.
Harry opened his mouth and looked over at Neville. " O NO, Harry, this is up to you. You deal with her I'm not helping you". Harry pouted again and then laughed a little as he pointed Hermione to the others.
"Thank you, Harry," she said and turned to the others. "You all knew something would happen this year. Umbridge was just a part of it. We all knew he would be getting Harry in some way this year. Today at the exam we were trained by a Death Eater. We were worked to the bone so we knew tonight was the night. Voldemort would not attack A Harry who is well-rested so he was waiting for this day. Now that Harry is dead on his feet". Harry dropped to the floor and did ten push-ups. "I said dead on his feet".
"Sorry" and Harry lay down on his back as he played death with his hands and feet in the air.
Hermione smiled and went on. "Well with Harry dead on his feet. He will get him so he will be better, he thinks he will. That getting him will happen at the ministry. We have found out that there is a prophecy about him and Harry. Only he and Harry can take it so he will need Harry to go down there. We will be going". Harry sat up and looked at her. "I said we all will be going". Harry just nodded as he gave her a fake look of fear. He already knew they would be going with him. They were just too thick-headed to see the danger. "After it, there will be a fight and we will be making sure it will happen at the ministry. If we are lucky, the noseless one will be coming to help his slaves and we can get people to see him" Hermione finished.
The other members wanted to know what they could do to help. Neville took it from there. Well, We are sure that Draco and others will try to stop us in some way. So we will be faking getting out of here. You will have to capture them at some time and give us the chance to getaway. From there we will just see and take it as it comes. After it, we will tell you all when we get back" Neville looked at the clock and nodded. "time for dinner".
It was a little later the house of Hogwarts walked into the great hall like an army unit. Minerva who was sitting next to Zanita only nodded at her. "Yep, they know it will be happening tonight".
#*
Voldemort had been walking from left to right through Malfoy manor for over an hour now. Narcissa was still away so she could get the book he wanted. He already knew it was at Potter castle because he himself had other people looking for it already. It was the ultimate test to see if she was doing it all for him. He knew she was but it was always nice to get the confirmation of it.
But as he walked from left to right he was thinking of tonight. Lucius had found a way to get into the Hall of Prophecies. There was no doubt that it cost him a big sum of gold but he had enough. The only thing he wanted was for Lucius to get his people inside.
He stopped at a table and looked at the list that was on it. Lucius would be going with the carrow twins. Grabb and Goyel would be joining him together with Bellatrix. If it was up to him he would have kept Bellatrix behind but she was the only one who could handle Potter. As he looked at the list he was looking at the steps that were taken. One of his Death Eaters was throwing them all through the wringer during their exams. The last Exam wasn't that hard on the body but it would keep them awake. He knew that their last exam was astronomy. So while they were looking up at the skies he would be sending Potter the image of Sirius who would be tied up in that hall of Prophesies.
By then Lucius would be waiting inside the hall for Potter to come. Somehow he knew Potter would not come alone. Hell, he wasn't going at first. He would be waiting and only step in when he needed to. It was this reason he was sending Bellatrix with Lucius so she could handle it all for him.
As he looked at the clock he saw the time was right. So he called in his followers to send them to the ministry. When they get here he would give them the last instructions and wait at the sideline. It was thirty minutes later they all left and he was making his way to the room to send Potter the image.
#*
Bellatrix had walked out of the Floo. As she followed Lucius she knew what she had to do. It was up to her to tell her sister it was time. Voldemort had said he would send the message around midnight. That would be half into their exam, so it would be a lot later they would get there. While she was looking around she was also looking closely at the Death Eaters around her. Her lessons had been on dodging her spells. She didn't really teach them anything else. So she knew the fight would be longer and in some way shorter. While she walked on her mind took her back to a couple of days ago.
Flashback.
"Alright, kids get here now we have to fight" sounded the voice of Amelia through the Floo. Everyone knew that when Amelia called them they had to come. So they all left the Hogwarts common room and went to Potter castle.
Bellatrix had been standing in the back of the room looking on under a notice me, not charm. Looking at how all the members walked in. Like always they were split up into little groups and escorted to a part of the castle where they received lessons from the family. She was the one who took the friends along. At first, they had been trained by the family. But it didn't take long for Harry to wipe the floor with them. Bella and Daphne soon got to that level too. So it wasn't that long ago that they asked Bellatrix to take over the lessons. They had told her that something happened to make Bella and Daphne as strong as him.
Bellatrix didn't really care she was just glad she could have some alone time with the three of them. Now however she had all of the friends under her wing. So she set them down and looked at all of them. "As you have all heard I'm teaching the other Death Eaters how to fight. You can still take them but it will be somewhat harder. So to make it fair. I'm here now to tell you how they are doing. Lucius always steps to his right. So when you place a spell on him. do the next one right away a little to his right".
While Bellatrix was telling them everything about the Death Eaters she could see how good they all were. Hermione was writing it all down. While Bella and Harry were already thinking of the spells they could throw after the first spell they would have thrown. It was a fire she liked to see and now she knew they could handle the Death Eaters.
End Flashback.
"Bellatrix, don't hang back and get over here now" Lucius screamed at her.
Bellatrix who had been smiling from the memory turned her gaze to Lucius where it hardened a lot. Before Lucius could do something he was hit with a stinging hex to the chest. Slowly Bellatrix walked over to him and looked him in the eye. "Didn't Wittle Lucy ever heard not to piss off Wittle Bellatrix".
Lucius saw Bellatrix looking into his eyes. As her eyes became bigger the fear in Lucius took over. He stepped back and Bellatrix stepped right along with him when he took the step. "Ahhh, Wittle Lucius is very, very, very afraid of Wittle Bellatrix. Can't Wittle Lucy hide behind the Dark Lords' legs".
The fear in Lucius was still big but her words made him mad. "When my Lord hears of this".
"When he hears what" Bellatrix challenged him as she made her eyes as big as she could. Lucius was still stepping back and hit the wall. Bellatrix stepped even closer and placed her wand on his cheek. Slowly she let it slide down and it formed a clear cut over his cheek. "You really think that I would let you tell anything to him. I'm still training you so the choice is very, very easy. Tell him you hide behind him and feel what I can do the next time I teach you something. Tell him nothing and Wittle Bellatrix might like you, and does not kill you, yeT" It was at that moment that she let go of a cackling laugh as she turned around. While she stepped away she let go of a stinging hex over her shoulder while hitting Lucius in the chest again.
"You stupid bitch" Lucius screamed.
Bellatrix stopped dead in her track and turned on her heels. With only three steps she stood back in front of him. Bellatrix smirked when he placed both of his hands over his nose. She had bitten him once before but she would never again. It took her ten minutes with an Aquwamentie to clean out her mouth, almost drowning herself. "What did you call Wittle old me".
The moment Bellatrix smiled at him and used that little sweet baby voice, he knew he was in trouble. "Nothing. I didn't call you anything you crazy bitch". The moment he said it, he knew what he had said. He held his hands tighter on his nose as Bellatrix looked even closer at him. Bellatrix didn't do anything to his face and only lifted a knee between his legs.
Bellatrix smiled while she looked at how Lucius dropped to the floor. She did not hear what he was telling her. She did not know why but he somehow lost his voice. What she did hear was soft but very high and most of all very hurt. But she knew Bitch would be in there somewhere. "Don't let me tell you again" she said as she smiled down at him. Lucius could only whimper and nod as she walked away.
As she walked off she looked at everything. Her little Harry would be here later. He did not know anything about Sirius being Pettigrew. As she thought about it, there was only a handful who knew Sirius was playing Petegrew for a while. It was again at that moment her mind took her back to earlier that day.
Flashback.
She had left Malfoy manor at the crack of day and walked into Potter castle just as the sun lighted up the Peverell estate. The first person she saw was Nolwenn and smiled at the sad look. "Were you expecting someone else this early"?
Nolwenn narrowed her eyes a little. "You know exactly who I wanted to see," She said hotly.
"What I'm not beautiful enough for you, "Bellatrix said as she pointed her finger at her.
Nolwenn sniffed. "Like you would have eyes for me" and Nolwenn placed her arms under her lady parts and lifted them up, wiggling them from left to right.
"If you want to ever see my boobs again you have to stop looking at them, Astoria".
Both of them looked behind Bellatrix and saw Astoria standing there with her mouth open. Bellatrix laughed a little as she looked back at Nolwenn. "I might not have eyes for you but you still look hot by the look Astoria is giving you". Nolwenn blushed a little but still gave her a little smile. "My sister will be dropping by later tonight. Something is up so we are separated to tell you all. Later she will be staying here because our Lord had asked her to do it. We do not know why but he especially asked her to do so". It was now that the two of them looked on as the friends went back by Floo. Before Bellatrix could say something else Harry hugged her and kissed her deeply.
Nolwenn looked at her for a moment. Slowly she waved her hand in front of her eyes but there was no reaction. "Go, I will wait here for her to come back to the living" she waited as she watched the friends leave by Floo. When Nolwenn saw Bellatrix getting back to the living she started right away. "So tonight is the night he will get Harry to get the Prophesy". Bellatrix just opened her mouth but didn't say a thing. "Face it. today is the biggest day of their exams. They have four of them so they will be dead on their feet. So tonight is the best day to have the upper hand".
"You are right. Does Harry already know Sirius is on a secret task?" Bellatrix asked. Nolwenn nodded "So he will think it is real when he is captured".
"Not only does he know about Sirius. Minerva has told them all we had Peter here and that he was locked up in the basement. That was also why they were here just a moment ago. They were only here for five minutes or so but I think they just wanted to make sure it was him".
Bellatrix thought for a moment. "Who else is in the know of Sirius and his task".
"You, Minerva, Amelia and I. I wanted to tell it to Narcissa but Minerva told us she had obliviated her, about that fact. I was there when Sirius took the place of Peter so It did surprise me".
"Don't be, We had to do it to protect her. She is very close to Harry and she really cares about him. She likes to flirt with him but only to make him blush and to prank little me. But she might want to warn him so we had to prevent it. Tonight if it happens harry has to do something and It is something he will not do if he knows about this". "The only unsure thing we have is Bella. She did remember something but not that one thing. She either did and did not tell Minerva or she did not".
"What are you up to," Nolwenn asked accusingly.
"We will tell you all when it is behind us, I promise".
End Flashback.
Bellatrix skipped back to Lucius and made a show of looking at her watch. Lucius placed a hand on his mouth and nose and the other between his legs. Bellatrix smirked at him "Are you afraid of Wittle old me" And she gave him a nasty smile. "Our Lord will be sending his message about this time. So I will go to the Wittle girl's room before he does". And Bellatrix skipped off before Lucius could react to her.
When Bellatrix got to the little girl's room she sent off a message to Minerva that tonight was the night and that it would start in ten minutes. In her mind, she placed a message on her little me. Their connection was getting stronger so she was sure Bella had heard her.

the friends were standing on the highest tower of Hogwarts castle. While they were looking up at the stars they were doing their last exam of the day. Harry was rubbing his head. "Are you hurting?" Bella asked him as she took a closer look at him. Harry didn't answer her but kept on rubbing his head. The others had stepped closer and Bella knew it was time. "He is giving you an image Harry".
Harry just nodded as he kept on rubbing his head. In her mind, she told him and daphne what it is. They knew that the connection between Voldemort and Harry was no longer there. But somehow there still was a connection through the blood he took from him. It did not work mentally but it did hurt Harry in some way. She could not tell it out loud because none knew of the connection between her and Bellatrix. So when the exam was done Harry put up a show in the middle of the common room of Voldemort connecting to him. Even if he did not get the message he knew of the secret task Serius was on. "He has my godfather at the ministry. We have to go and get him".
The house of Hogwarts was looking at him. Harry sounded afraid and that was something they were not used to. They all knew Sirius was his godfather and they were all there when he had done him wrong. When he came into the great hall after the first task of the tournament. They were sure Harry was going to curse him right there and then. After they had gone away they had come back and seemed stronger than they were. This time they saw Harry in a way none had ever seen.
"What are we standing around here for, we have to get him" Harry screamed as he was about to rush to the Floo.
Before he stepped in he was stopped by a word from Bella. "Harry it could be a trap". Harry stopped and looked back at her. "Face it, Harry, we do not know what kind of Task Sirius was on. So he might be caught by Voldemort, or Voldemort found out he is on a task and uses that knowledge to get you there".
Harry stopped and sat down on the ground. "How do we know if it is true or not".
All the others sat down and started to think with him. Sent a Patronus one said. "We can't" Hermione told them. "If we do and he is indeed in the hand of Voldemort, we might get him killed".
"If he really is in the hands of Voldemort he might be dead already," Susan said as she looked at the fire. She just like most of them knew Voldemort would kill just because he could. "I say lets Floo call Potter castle to see if he has said something".
Harry didn't say a thing and just watched as Daphne stepped up to the Floo. On the other side, she saw Lily and she was acting frightened. "Lily have you heard something from Sirius".
Lily was just walking past the Floo when she heard the voice of Daphne beside her. "Sorry I don't have the time right now Daphne".
"That is fine Lily we only wanted to know if you have heard from Sirius".
"No, we have not. We have been waiting for an hour right now. We don't know what he is doing only that he had something to do that was top secret. He also told us he would contact us every night to tell us he was okay. This night he did not and we can't find him".
Daphne pulled back from the fire and looked over her shoulder. "See, he is in danger and we have to get him out of there," Harry said as he looked closely at Bella.
"Still, we have to do it somewhere else. If we want him to know we are coming we have to let one person know". Who some of the other members asked. "Snape," Bella told them. "You have all heard Isabella call him a Death Eater and that is because he is one". The reaction from the members who didn't know or hadn't believed Isabella at the time was priceless. The friends chuckled a little.
Before they could say another thing Neville jumped in. "We can't do anything about him now. We just have to make sure we are gone so he can warn well, you know, the noseless". The looks they gave him told them enough. "Yes, we too, want to take him down too. But I think you can all help us real shortly".
Harry looked at him and then at the others. This time it was Neville who was running the show and they all let him. "I have an idea. We will go to the office of the hook nose bastard and then use his Floo. He will find us and keep us there as long as he can. So if we are not back in an hour, you all have to get us out of there".
As they all walked out Harry stepped next to Neville. "You also know, I did tell Draco to do something too".
Neville just smiled and gave him a small nod. "If it all goes as the way I think it will, Draco will be running to the Noseless one. While Snape will be running to Albus".
"Good thinking".
Neville smiled. "He has his moments," Hermione said.
"Hee" Neville called out as he was dragged away by Hermione.

Minerva was sitting at her office listening to the words in her mind. Somehow the kids didn't realise they were thinking it all out loud. She had a little smile because she knew what was about to happen. Lily had just Floo called and told her what had happened. She had also told her that she had told them they could not find Sirius to make it more believable. As she heard all the plans they were making she walked over to her own cabinet. From the bottom drawer, she took a parchment and laid it out over her desk. Slowly she lifted her wand and pointed it at the middle. "Miss Mini will prank all day long". She gave a little smile as she looked at the Hogwarts castle lying in front of her. When she had seen the map by the Twins she knew immediately who had made it. So on the day, Lily had come back she had her make one for her.
As she sat behind her desk she waved her left hand. A cup appeared and her teapot lifted in the air. It poured on its own and then went back to his spot. She waved her hand again and two lumps of sugar lifted in the air and dropped into her cup. With another wave, she added some milk ad took the cup by the ear. She smiled as she took a sip and looked at the little spots running through the corridors of the castle. She frowned a little as she saw them running to the office of Severus. She did not know why they ran that way and not outside. At one of the corridors they stopped and she could see Harry walking a couple of steps away from the others.
As she looked closely she saw Draco Malfoy talking to Harry. She did not hear them but she did hear Harry talking to Bella and Daphne in his mind. 'I just told Draco where we will be. So he will tell Snape and then he will go to Voldemort. He will tell him we are on our way while Severus can run to Albus'.
Minerva nodded to herself and It was smart thinking. Draco could not go to Albus and Severus had to keep up whatever game he was playing. So for her grandson to use him like that was a masterpiece. She already knew that he wanted to protect him and with this, he made his final days with Voldemort saver than he would ever know.
Minerva looked on, as she saw the friends walk towards the office of Severus. This would not be going good but she could not do anything about it. What did surprise her were Draco and other Slytherins sneaking up on them, instead of going away. Suddenly she saw magic over her map, It was the one thing her map did and the one from Harry did not. She saw that there was magic being used but not what kind of magic.
#*
The friends had walked around the corner when they were cursed in the back. They all heard Stupify but didn't do a thing to get out of the way from any of them. When they dropped down they saw Draco and the others walking up to them. Some of the Slytherins grabbed their legs and pulled them towards the office of Severus. Draco knocked and when Severus opened the door he immediately told him he found them sneaking around the hallways after bedtime.
Harry looked around and played his role wonderfully. "He got Sirius at the place it is hidden" he shouted. The friends looked at him but didn't say a thing. They all knew Draco would attack them and bring them to Severus. Harry had asked it from him. Now it was up to see if the idea from Neville would be playing out.
Severus looked at them and sneered in his normal way. "I don't care about your beliefs. You are just as arrogant as your father and I will not stand for it. I will get the real headmaster and deal with you". It was now that Severus turned to Draco and the others. "You keep them here, tie them up or something until I get back". It was then that he left the office with his robe blowing behind him.
#*
Minerva had stood when she saw Draco sneaking up n her grandson and his friends. But as she was about to leaf her office she turned back and looked at her map again. She saw them going to the office. There she knew something was said but not what. When she saw Severus leave the office she knew she had to make her own way to Albus. Albus would call for the order but she had to keep him from rushing to help Harry. First, some things had to happen or Bellatrix would not be sent back.
With one final look at her map, she saw the others of house Hogwarts making their way to the office. They would get them out of there while she would go to Albus.
#*
Just before the other members of House Hogwarts rushed in to help them Harry hissed at Draco to go. Draco didn't react and only looked around if someone had heard him. None reacted so he walked to the Floo. As he threw in some Floo powder he smiled at the others. "Keep them here I'm going to warn someone".
When he stepped out of the Floo he went to the room where his mother was now staying. He knew she would go to Poter castle but not when. When he got there she had already gone and he almost stumbled back when Voldemort stepped behind him and hissed. "My Lord" and Draco bend at the knee. "Potter is going away from the school. I do not know where he is going but he told Severus that he was at the place it was hidden".
Voldemort looked at him closely. "Why are you telling me this and not Severus".
Draco did love his godfather but now he had to throw him under the knight bus so to say. "I don't know why but he is going to Albus to punish Harry for being out in the corridors after bedtime".
Voldemort knew Severus had to do it. but he did not like the way he did it. Severus had to come to him first then after a couple of hours he had to go to Albus. He would be there at the ministry but Albus was the last person he wanted to see. The only thing he hoped for was that Albus would be late as always. As Voldemort looked at Draco he pointed to the Floo. "You get back to school. I have to take care of an annoying brat".
Draco laughed when he heard Voldemort saying it. He might have asked Harry for help but he still thought he was a brat.
#*
Draco stepped out of the Floo and saw everybody he had left with Potter tied up. "What happened here" he screamed at Grabb and Goyel.
Grabb looked at the ground while Goyel looked at the wall. "We don't really know. We were watching them just before the other members of House Hogwarts blew up the door and attacked us". It was now that Draco looked at the door and saw that it was blown apart. He shook his head and knew Harry had thought ahead like he always seemed to do. As he released the others he was glad he was not where ever Voldemort would be.
#*
Let's go back a little.
Tracy and Luna had looked on with Ginny and Astoria as the friends rushed out of the common room. It would be ten minutes before they would go after them if they were not back in time. On their way, it was Luna who stopped them. They have been stopped by an image she had seen at that moment and took them all into a classroom. "We have to wait another minute or so. Professor Snape will be walking by us in a minute and then we can go and blow out his door. After it we have to go back but it has to be by the second floor".
None reacted to it because they all knew about the gif Luna had. So after they heard Severus walk by them they left the classroom. Zabini lifted his want and shouted Bombarda. After the door had been blown apart Ginny and Astoria rushed in and stun the other Slytherins. While the others were uniting the friends and tieing up the Slytherins. Astoria was kissing Susan. "I was so afraid something happened to you" and she kissed Susan again.
"Get a room you two" Luna said as she looked at them with a smirk. Astoria blushed while Susan stuck her tongue out at Luna. "Alright we have to go now or we are too late".
Luna almost started to run and went up the stairs. "Luna we have to go straight on, that will be shorter".
"No, we don't, if we do we will run into Severus and that will not turn out good" Luna told Neville as she rounded the corner.
"Where do you all think you are going" the voice of Albus sounded from behind them.
This was it again for this time. See you all in two weeks.
Gr Winmau.
