Amber hated tests. Loathed was probably a better word for her hatred towards them. Sitting through her O.W.L.s were torture to her but at the same time, she was enjoying the fact that she was now free to do whatever she pleased.

Amber, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had all been walking the grounds when suddenly, Harry's scar started to hurt. He fell to the ground and Amber rushed down beside him. After about a minute, Harry looked up at Amber.

"Sirius."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Harry, he could just be playing with your mind." Harry stopped dead in his tracks and looked at Hermione.

"Sirius is in trouble Hermione, and I'm going to go get him. Now, the only way we can get there is by floo."

"Umbridge has all of the fireplaces under her watch."

"Not all of them."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amber, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had Ginny, Neville, and Luna all creating a diversion for them so they could get to the ministry. Apparently they didn't create only well enough and Umbridge burst through the door.

She and other students all had Amber, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, and Luna all in their grasp as Umbridge sat Harry down infront of her. Draco was had a firm grip on Amber's robes but when he saw the look in her eyes, he let go slightly.

"You were going to Dumbledore, weren't you?" Umbridge asked. She had been constantly on the look-out for children who even said 'Dumbledore' when he left.

"No." She slapped him.

"Fine. I suppose to Cruciatus Curse well help."

"That's illegal," said Hermione from behind the desk.

"What Cornellius doesn't know won't hurt him." She turned the picture of Fudge on her desk down and walked back to Harry. Just as she was about to curse him, Snape walked in the door.

"You called for me, Headmistress?"

"Yes, Severus. I need the Veritaserum."

"My apologies, but you have used all of mine in stock, the last on Miss. Chang. You could poison him altough, I would have the greatest sympathy if you didn't." He smirked. Snape turned around and walked towards the door.

"He's got Padfoot! He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden," Harry burst.

"What? What's Padfoot. What's hidden? What's he talking about, Severus?"

"No idea." And he walked out the door. Umbridge picked up her wand again.

"Tell her, Harry!" Hermione shouted. Umbridge jumped.

"What? Tell me what?"

"Well if you won't tell her, then I will. Dumbledore has a secret weapon, in the Forbidden Forrest." Umbridge smiled and led Harry and Hermione out the door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They had been gone for what seemed like hours. Ron had gotten the rest of them out of the hands of the Slytherins and they were now by the bridge. Amber was pacing.

"Where are they?" She kept muttering under her breath. Just then, they saw Harry and Hermione running from the opposite side of the bridge.

"So, how are we getting to London, Harry?" Neville asked.

"Look, you've all been... great but, I've got to do this alone." He began to walk on. Amber grabbed his hand.

"We're in this together, remember?" She smiled. Neville asked his question again.

"We fly, of course," Luna said, smiling. She then led them to a part of the forrest and started petting what seemed like the air. Harry, being able to see whatever was there too, helped Amber get on one and got on the same. There was something solid under her keeping her up.

"What is this?"

"This is a thestral," He said, "They can only be seen by people who've seen death." And with that, they were up in the air.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I've been here before..." Harry said as they walked down the dalk hall in a room full of crystal balls. Amber lit her wand as Harry began looking up and down the shelves.

"He should be here."

"Harry, he's not there..." Amber walked up towards Harry and grabbed his hand. "Come on, lets go before something happens." Amber was about to pull him around but the sound of footsteps made her turn back around. Realizing that it was just Neville, she calmed down.

"Harry, its got your name on it..." Harry let go of Amber's hand and walked over to the prophecy that Neville was holding.

"Harry Potter..." Amber wiped around and put her hand over her heart. Lucius Malfoy stood before her, much taller than she. Harry walked over and put one arm defensively in front of her. Malfoy began to talk to Harry but Amber had a hard time keeping up. She was drifting off in a different world. She could definetly feel that something terrible was about to happen. Her thoughts were suddenly cut off.

"He knows how to play," A high, chilling voice said, "Itty... bitty... baby... Potter."

"Bellatrix Lestrange," Neville said raising his wand a bit higher.

"Neville Longbottom, isn't it? How's mum and dad?"

"Better now they're about to be avenged!" He was about to curse her when Harry caught his arm. Amber began to drift in her thoughts again. She look around and noticed that more and more Death Eaters began to gather around them all.

"Haven't you always wanted to know the secret of your scar?" Malfoy asked.

"I've waited fourteen years..."

"I know."

"I think I can wait longer. Now!" Everyone shot stunning spells towards the Death Eaters and began to run. Amber shot spells here and there at everything she saw move besides her friends. Ginny then shouted a spell and the crystal balls came tumbling off the shelves. Everyone ran to a door that had randomly shown up.

Running through the door, Amber started to fall towards the ground. She heard something crack as she hit the floor. It was a blank room. There wasn't much in there besides an empty archway.

"Get behind me!" Amber went behind Harry, wand at the ready. Soon before she knew it, she was in the arms of a Death Eater with a wand at her throat. Lucuis Malfoy was back again trying to get Harry to give him the prophecy. All of the sudden, Sirius was standing in front of Malfoy.

"Get away from my godson." Sirius punched him in the face. Regaining some of her strength back, Amber kicked the Death Eater that was holding her in a place that would hurt in the morning. She ran over to Hermione, who had been freed by a member of the Order, and grabbed her hand. They began to run. Amber saw Harry give the prophecy to Neville, but as soon he grabbed it, he tripped and dropped the prophecy. It broke into tiny pieces. People, Order members and Death Eaters alike, were fighting all around her. She and Hermione didn't know where to turn. Feeling a hand on her elbow pulling her back, Amber and Hermione were pulled behing a boulder by Tonks.

"Avada Kedavra!" And Sirius was pulled back into the empty archway.
