Another chapter up! Here you are, and thanks to all of the reviewers!

Every other night throughout January and February, and even a bit of March, Dumbledore's Army headed off to do their graffiti. Sometimes they happened to come across a kid who had been tortured by the Carrows. They always helped him or her out. But now it was time for the Easter holidays. It was the last day before classes ended, and the Army's last night to do their duties was fast approaching.

"Come on, we should get classes off today," Sirius whined as he and James headed towards the Muggle Studies room.

"Why, exactly?" James asked, just to humor Sirius.

"Just because." That was Sirius's answer for most things. Just because.

"Guys, over here!" Neville called from the corner seat, where Remus was already sitting next to him. Sirius sauntered over and took the seat between them. James slid into the spot next to Neville.

"So, is Carrow here yet?" James whispered.

"Nah," Neville muttered back. "The bells already rang, and it doesn't look like she's coming."

But then she came, just a second after Neville finished his sentence.

"So," she said, in the nasty tone that she and her brother both possessed. "Today we're going to talk about how Muggles are filthy, disgusting creatures that should bow down to us in worship or die."

James zoned out for awhile, occasionally catching snippets of words, such as "Muggles", "kill", "Cruciatus", and "Filthy".

Then James was brought back with an unpleasant thump. Carrow had started speaking about Muggle-Borns.

"So, in other words, Mudbloods are really Muggles with stolen magic, and they should all either be in prison or put to death." She sneered.

James gripped his wand under his seat. Lily was a Muggle-Born! How dare this woman…

"So," she said, yet again. James figured that she couldn't find any other word to put there, so she just kept saying the same thing. "Mudbloods are dirty and nasty creatures."

"Excuse me?" James heard Neville say from next to him. Carrow whirled around to face him.

"Yes," she said, approaching the desk. "Longbottom?"

"I was just wondering," Neville began, and James put his head in his hands. Neville was going to give some smart-arse comment that would give him another reason to bleed. "How much Muggle blood you and your brother have?"

The class was stunned silent by Neville's comment. Alecto Carrow's face twisted into a gruesome shape, and she took her knife out, one identical to her brother's, and took Neville by his robes out of the classroom.

James crossed his fingers under the desk. Please let Neville be okay, please let Neville be okay…

And the door opened. Alecto stalked in first, a grim smile set upon her ugly features. Neville stumbled in after her. His face was extremely bloody, James noted. Remus quickly got up from his seat to help Neville sit down. But then Carrow opened her disgusting mouth and began to speak again.

"This is what happens when you cheek the teacher," she sneered to them. "Longbottom also has a detention with my brother, Professor Carrow."

The rest of class went by in a blur. Afterwards, the three Marauders helped Neville into the common room. It was very quiet that night, but not in the morning.

Augusta Longbottom was taking the Marauders again, so on the train they were all seated together, even Ginny. Then the paper came out.

James had gone to get the Prophet while the others were seated in the compartment. James came rushing back a moment later, all out of breath.

"What is it, James?" Sirius asked. He was in the middle of a game of Exploding Snap with Remus.

James showed them the headlines.

HARRY POTTER ALMOST CAPTURED BY HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED

"Oh my," Ginny whispered. She took the paper, and began to read aloud.

Harry Potter, age 17, was almost captured by the Dark Lord and his followers. Potter and his two accomplices, now known as Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, (Mudblood), were captured by Death Eaters outside of the small town of Verity, in Wales. They were taken to the Dark Lord's base of operation, where they were recognized. The Dark Lord was not there, but some of his Chief Death Eaters were.

Potter and his friends, Weasley and Granger, managed to escape with the help of a house-elf. They also took with them some of the Dark Lord's prisoners, along with Mudblood Dean Thomas and a goblin.

The members of the Death Eaters present at this time are now confined to the house for failing their master.

"Do you know what this means?" Neville whispered after they had finished reading.

"What?" Remus breathed. He was still having trouble digesting all of this.

"That now Ginny isn't safe," Neville said with a glance at his friend.

"You're right1" Ginny sat bolt upright. "You four have to hide me. After we get to the station, take me home with you. I can Floo to my house from there."

"Alright," James said. And the five of them made their plan to get Ginny out of there. It would be difficult, but with the Marauders there, what could go wrong?
