Sure enough they were back in school and Harry was with Cho right now when Hermione called him out.
"Harry!" Hermione said.
"What?" he asked.
"Hagrid's back." she said.
He looked at Cho then back at the other three.
"I'm sorry."
Then they started running to his hut.
"I'm going to ask you one last time. I'm ordering you to tell me where you've been."
"I told you. I've been away for me health."
"Your health?"
"Yeah you know, a little fresh air."
"If I were you, I shouldn't get too used to being back. In fact, I mightn't bother unpacking at all."
Then she left and the other four went inside.
"This is top-secret, right? Dumbledore sent me to parley with the giants." Hagrid said.
"Giants?" Hermione asked.
"Shh." he said.
"You found them?" Tracey said.
"Well, they're not that hard to find, to be perfectly honest. They're so big, see? I tried to convince them to join the cause.
But I wasn't the only one that
was trying to win them over."
"Death Eaters?" Harry asked.
"Yes. Trying to persuade them to join You-Know-Who."
"Did they?" Tracey asked.
"I gave them Dumbledore's message. Suppose some of them remember he was friendly to them. I suppose."
"And they did this to you?" Harry asked.
"Not exactly, no."
Then Fang started barking after seeing Hagrid put steak in his eye.
"Oh, go on, you have it, then, you dozy dog. It's changing out there. Just like last time. There's a storm coming, Harry, Tracey. We'd all best be ready when she does."
The next day during breakfast Neville was ready the paper and read about Bellatrix Lestrange getting out of Azkaban.
"Dumbledore warned Fudge this could happen. He's just going to get us all killed if he doesn't face the fact."
Then Seamus appeared and looked at the four of them.
"Harry. I uh, I wanted to apologize. You know and me mum. What I'm really trying to say is that, I believe you." he said.
A few hours later they were done with Dumbledore's Army for the day when Harry and Tracey saw Neville.
"Neville?" Harry asked.
"Fourteen years ago... a Death Eater called Bellatrix Lestrange used the cruciatus curse on my parents. She tortured them. But they never gave in." Neville said.
Then he looked at them.
"I'm quite proud to be their son."
"Well we can make them proud Neville." Tracey said smiling.
A few days later they were working on a patronus charm.
Tracey could already make one so she was following Harry around to help check in on everything.
"Make it a powerful memory, the happiest you can remember. Allow it to fill you up. Keep trying, Seamus." Harry said.
"George, your turn now." Tracey said.
"Expecto Patronum!"
"A full-bodied Patronus is the most difficult to produce... but shield forms can also be equally useful against a variety of opponents." Harry said.
"Wow, that was really good." someone said when they saw Ginny's.
"Fantastic, Ginny." Harry said.
"Just remember, your Patronus can only protect you for as long as you stay focused. So focus, Luna." Tracey said.
"Think of the happiest thing you can." Harry said.
"Expecto Patronum. I'm trying." Neville said.
"I know. It's good. This is really advanced stuff, guys. You're doing so well." Harry said.
"Expecto Patronum!"
Then they heard something and stopped.
A bit of the door was open and Tracey walked over a bit.
"I'll make short work of this." Umbridge said.
"Bombarda Maxima."
Harry grabbed her and moved them.
Malfoy pulled Cho out and Harry frowned.
"Get them!" Umbridge said.
Harry, Tracey, Ron and Hermione were sent up to Dumbledore's office.
"Been watching them for weeks and see, Dumbledore's Army. Proof of what I've been telling you right from the very beginning, Cornelius. All your fear-mongering about You-know-who. ...never fooled us for a minute. We saw your lies for what they were: A smokescreen for your bid to seize control of the Ministry." Umbridge said.
"Naturally." Dumbledore said.
"No, professor. He had nothing to do with it. It was me." Harry said.
"Most noble of you, Harry, to shield me, but as has been pointed out... the parchment clearly says "Dumbledore's Army," not "Potter's." he said.
"Auror Kingsley. I want you to take Dumbledore to Azkaban." Fudge said.
"Ah, I thought we might hit this little stab. You want me to do, what was the frees, come quietly? Well, I have no attendant of going." Dumbledore said.
"Enough of this! Take him!" Umbridge said.
Dumbledore winked and then Fawkes came while he put up his hands and then he was gone.
"Whoa. Uh, you may not like it minister, but you can't deny, Dumbledore's got style." Kingsley said.
