Chapter 35

The Department of Mysteries

I went to go find Harry after ward. He didn't see me, but I saw him, Ron and Hermione heading into Umbridge's class. I wondered what they were doing, but didn't dare follow them. All of the sudden though, I saw Umbridge heading towards me with the rest of the Inquisitorial squad. She headed into the room. One of the Slytherins went up to me.

"What are you doing here?'

"I-,"

"Get in there," and then he dragged me in there.

"I caught her lurking outside the office," the Slytherin said.

"You were going to Dumbledore, weren't you?" Umbridge pressed at Harry.

"No," Harry answered. Umbridge slapped him on the cheek.

"You called for me?" said a voice. Snape walked through the door.

"Yes, Snape. The time has come for answers," she said, "Have you brought the Veritersurum?"

"No, I'm afraid you used the last bit I had left on the last student. Unless you wish to poison him, I could arrange it with greatest sympathy, other wise, I cannot help you," Snape answered.

"He's got Padfoot," Harry said, as Snape turned to leave. I knew what that meant. Sirius, "he's got Pad foot at the place where it's hidden,"

"What is Padfoot?" Umbridge asked, "What is he talking about?"

"No idea," Snape answered, then left. Umbridge turned back to Harry.

"That leaves with no choice," she said, "as this is an issue of Ministry Security, you leave me with no alternative. The Crussiatus Curse,"

"That's illegal," Hermione said.

"If Cornelius doesn't know, it won't hurt him," she said. Umbridge raised her wand.

"Tell her Harry!" Hermione yelled.

"Tell me what?"

'If you won't tell her where it is, then I will,"

"What is it?"

"Dumbledore's secret weapon," And with that , Umbridge dragged Harry and Hermione out of the office. The rest of the Inquisitorial squad turned on us. Ron pulled out a bag from his pocket.

"Now, we can all solve this without violence," h said. The bag contained some candy. 2 of the fattest Slytherin's mouths watered.

"Want one?" Ron asked them. They greedily took one, and immediately, they started throwing up. I knew what those were. Puking Pastries. Something Fred and George had left behind.

"Let's go," Ron said. Ron, Neville, Ginny, Luna and I ran for it. We met Harry and Hermione on the bridge.

"How'd you get away?" Harry asked.

'Puking Pastries," replied Ginny, "it was ghastly,"

"I offered them it," Ron muttered.

"That was clever Ron," said Hermione.

"Brilliant!" Neville added, "So how are we getting to London?"

"No, look, it's not like I don't appreciate everything you've done," Harry said, "but, I've got you into enough trouble as it is," he started walking.

"Dumbledore's Army was supposed to be about doing something real. It was all just words to you?" Neville inquired.

"Maybe you don't have to do this all by yourself," Ron said.

"So how are we going to get to London?" Harry asked.

"We fly of course!" Luna said.

All of the sudden, I found myself on the back of this invisible horse. I couldn't see it, but Harry and Luna could so it was good. Harry explained to me that Voldemort had Sirius in the department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic. I felt horrible doing this, especially since I had promised George that I wouldn't get into trouble like this. I feel like shit, I thought.

"Why so pale?" Luna asked.

"I'm breaking a very important promise," I said shortly.

In about an hour we arrived in London. We went through this telephone booth to the ministry. Soon, we arrived in the Department of Mysteries. It was so scary in there. The walls were all black and it was dark. We walked through this door into a room that looked like a room full of crystal balls. We heard a noise. Harry headed over to where it came from. Nothing.

"It should be here," he said.

"there," Neville said, pointing up to one ball. It was a prophecy. The one Harry was looking for. He grabbed it.

"Harry," Hermione said, "we're not alone here," We turned around and there was a masked person coming towards us. A Death eater.
