I took one exam after another. I had no time to talk to anyone because of my over packed schedule and Umbridge's constant nagging.. Because I didn't have astronomy one night I sat out one the skirts of the lake looking up at the stars that some other students were being examinated on. I could hear the knock on Hagrid's door from where I sat. I turned and stood, looking over at the hut. I watched in horror as Hagrid fought being taken into custody before running off. When a stunning spell him McGonagall I sprinted toward her crumpled form. With some effort I managed to get her inside. Madame Pomphrey was running toward us as I walked through the door. She immediately went to support McGonagall's other side as we walked her unconscious body to the hospital wing.

"Will she be alright?" I asked nervously.

"Yes, she will be fine, don't you worry. Now off to bed with you young miss." she shooed me out.

I sat by the lake hidden behind the trees completely exhausted after my last examinations. I didn't want to be found at this exact moment. My head still throbbed slightly from the attack on my mind that had happened in the middle of one of my exams. It hadn't broken through at all though so it wasn't too bad.

"There you are." Malfoy told me "All inquisitors are to capture any suspicious persons IMMIDEIATELY."

He walked with me as we walked toward the castle. "You know..." he started, "You could always trade up on boyfriends from that Weasly boy. Dump him and I'll take you." He began playing with my hair. I didn't have the patience to yell at him or stop him so I just kept my eyes on the castle. He took my expression and silence as feminine shyness, not absolute rage and kept a constant stream of flirting comments as we entered the castle.

Upstairs someone had gruffly captured Luna, Ginny, Ron, and Neville. I looked at the way the guy who had her had a hold of Luna and immediately stepped in. "I'll take her Crab." I gruffly took Luna from him, trying to hide that the only one to receive a bruise from this gesture was him. "Stay calm." I whispered to her and she calmed within my looser grasp. I gave Luna to another of the inquisitorial squad and listened to the interrogation.

Snape was soon called and ordered to produce truth serum. When he told her frankly there was none left and, unless she wanted to poison Harry, he had nothing to offer her he turned to leave.

"He's got Padfoot." Harry shouted at him. "He's got Padfoot in the place that it is hidden." I looked up at him wide eyed.

"What what does her mean?" Umbridge shouted.

"I haven't a clue. Potter if I wished to have nonsense shouted at me, I would feed you a blabbering beverage." Snape walked out.

"Well...I guess I have no choice."

She started babbling on about having no choice and how the minister would understand if she used crucio on Harry.

Hermione went into hysterics, talking about trying to contact Dumbledore and a weapon.

Umbridge's unending curiosity made her order for Hermione to take her to the "weapon". Hermione insisted they go alone. She agreed to it. Agreeing only to take me and Harry, ordering the others to watch over the prisoners.

I started to get the gist of Hermione's "plan" as we tramped through the forest. *Hmm...the question is will it work.* I thought to myself. Umbridge was having an even harder time than Harry and Hermione as we trampled through the forest. It took absolutely all my concentration to keep from bursting out laughing at how comical she looked.

Hermione was being purposely loud as we stomped through the forest. I joined her game, talking unusually loud for even me. Harry tried unsuccessfully to shush us.

"Who are you?" a centaur appeared right on cue. "I asked you, who are you, human?"

"I am Dolores Umbridge!" she shouted, "Senior Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic and Headmistress and High Inquisitor of Hogwarts."

"The ministry?" he asked as others began to join him.

"Thats right! So be very careful! By the laws laid down by the Department of the Regulations and Control of Magical Creatures, any attack by half breeds such as yourselves..."

"What did you call us?" a centaur roared.

Umbridge continued to accidentally throw unknown insults at them. Finally they lost their temper and shot an arrow at her. Furious she threw a choking curse at Magorian.

Cracking the centaurs charged at us. We were all swept up. I remained silent as they questioned what to do to Harry, Hermione, and I.

Hermione tried to reason with them, only making them more mad. Suddenly Gwarps large form broke into the scene.

In all the confusion we darted toward the castle.

"So...what now?" Harry asked.

"Thats what we were just wondering." Our friends came stumbling out ahead of us as we left the forest. They looked a little beaten up but overall they looked fine. I slipped away as they discussed how to get away.

I ran up to the dorm and shoved a note for the twins to give to someone to give to Dumbledore into the shoebox.

"I'm going with Harry. By the time you get this it will be too late to tell me no.

Sammay Evans"

I ran back outside and made it back to the group just in time to jump on a thestral and take off after them. We flew at an unimaginable speed. I sat up enjoying the feeling of flight. When we landed Luna and I were the only ones to show grace as we jumped off. Ron showed the least grace and fell off. We all crammed inside the tiny phone booth that was used as the visitors entrance of the ministry of magic. It spat nametags at us as we dropped

The phone booth stopped and we all ran out. Harry ran us downstairs. We came to a circular room with tons of doors. We opened one.

"No, this isn't it." Harry stated.

The next room had a sunken floor and a raised dais in the center. On the dais there was an archway. Harry and I stood together in front of it. There were voices coming from it.

"Harry...let's get out of here." Hermione whimpered.

I was as entranced by it as he was. Finally something broke my daze. "Come on Harry, remember what we're here for." I tugged his arm breaking his daze. "Let's go."

We ran to another door, but this one was locked.

"Come on, let's go to the next one." Ginny insisted.

We got to the next door.

"This is it." Harry was ecstatic.

"What...are they...?" Hermione asked.

"'They're...brains..." I looked at the jar up-close. "Gross." I stared at the things.

We continued through the room and came to a room full of orbs.

"This way, he should be right down here." They sped through the rows, eyes frantically darting back and forth.

"I...I don't understand....he should be right here..." Harry stuttered, frantic.

Laughter echoed around us and suddenly shadows appeared around us. I pulled my hood up so my face was hidden in shadow, and stood beside Harry.

"Hand over the prophesy Potter." a blonde man looked at us.

The conversation took a turn and soon Harry was trying to distract them while Malfoy ranted.

"Now!" Harry yelled.

We sent spells at the shelves, causing them to come crashing down, then we ran. I ran without realizing where. Before I even knew what was happening I was completely alone. I dodged through a door. Two death eaters following behind me. The room was a dead end. I spun, ready to duel them.

"Petrificus Totalus." I yelled pointing my wand at one.

"Avada Kadabra." The other screamed at me.

The spell hit me square in the chest. Somehow because of my mind link with Harry, it did noting to me. I stumbled and then stood straight. The death eater turned and fled, completely terrified by the fact that I was still breathing.

Suddenly my brain shuddered and pain shot through it.

"Damn it..." I crumpled and curled up clutching my head.

I layered walls along the barrier of my mind. They had been destroyed when the killing curse had hit me.

Suddenly the voices entered my mind and so did the pain.

*KILL ME!* both voices screamed.

*NO!!!!* I flooded the last of my reserved energy into Harry's mind and shoved Voldemort's mind out of Harry's. My energy was gone. I fell into unconsciousness.
