Alex, Harry, Hermione and Ron walked down the passage between the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw table.
"Dumbledore warned Fudge this would happen. He's going to get us all killed because he can't face the truth." They continued walking until Seamus called out.
"Harry!" The four of them stopped and turned around. Almost instantly the chatter in the Great Hall stopped to watch them, knowing of their argument in the Gryffindor Common Room at the start of term.
"I er… I wanted to apologize. Now even me mum say's the Prophet's version of things didn't add up. So, what I'm really trying to say is that I believe you."
Harry and Alex smiled at Seamus and he smiled back. They had come to an agreement.
Harry was teaching them Patronus again.
A horse burst out of Ginny's wand. A rabbit burst out of Luna's. An otter for Hermione and a terrier for Ron.
Suddenly the crystals on the light started to shake; everyone started walking towards the mirror.
It smashed and there was a hole in the wall. Alex looked at the hole and Harry pulled her back when Umbridge blew it up.
Harry and Alex stood at the front facing Umbridge, Filch and her 'squad' of idiots. Cho stood alongside them.
Umbridge pointed towards Harry and Alex and smiled evilly. "Get them."
Harry was taken to Dumbledore's office while everyone else was getting given detention slips by Umbridge's idiot squad. Malfoy took pleasure in giving Alex, Hermione and Ron a slip.
"Mudblood." He spat when he gave Hermione his. Ron went to punch him but Alex placed a hand on his shoulder to keep him calm.
"Blood Traitor." He spat when handing Ron his. Ron just glared at him, annoyed by this ferret.
"Ah. A Russo, you shouldn't be here, how do you think your father and brothers would react to this?" Alex glared at him and kicked him in the shin multiple times before the rest of the squad saw and started chasing after Alex. Alex grinned as she weaved in between the DA members laughing and high-fiving them as she ran out of the Room Of Requirement.
Harry, Alex, Hermione and Ron walked along the bridge.
"You did everything you could. No one could win against that old hag." Ron said to Harry after he told us about Dumbledore leaving.
"Even Dumbledore didn't see this coming!" Hermione said trying to get Harry to feel a bit better.
As Harry stopped to stare at the view of misty clouds from the bridge, Alex, Ron and Hermione stopped too. "Harry, if it's anyone' fault it's ours." Alex said lightly.
"Yeah, we talked you into it." Ron said.
"Yeah, but I agreed. I tried so hard to help, and all it's done is make things worse." Harry said in a let-down voice. Alex rubbed his arm gently. "Anyway that doesn't matter anymore. Because I don't want to play anymore. All it does is make you care too much, and the more you care, the more you have to lose."
"How many times do we have to tell you? We're in this together." Alex said, hugging Harry around the neck. Harry smiled and lifted Alex's head and they started kissing.
Hermione and Ron stared at each other. "Let's leave them to it." Ron nodded and the two of them left leaving Alex and Harry to kiss on the bridge.
Alex stood outside Snape's classroom waiting on Harry. As Harry walked out he hugged Alex and they started walking back to the dorms holding hands. They stooped when they heard crying and they turned around to see Fred and George comforting a small boy.
"What's your name?" Fred (Or George) asked.
"Micheal." The small boy said quietly.
"Your hand's gonna be fine, Micheal." George (Or Fred) told the little boy trying to keep him positive.
"Yeah. It's not as bad as it seems. See? It's fading already." Fred added in also trying to make the boy a bit happier.
Harry and Alex walked towards the twins and Micheal.
"You can hardly see ours anymore, and the pain stops after a while." George said.
Micheal continued to cry from the pain of his hand. Alex bent down to Micheal's height and rubbed her hand on Micheal's to try and ease the pain. The five of them were in silence.
"Hem Hem." Alex stood up and turned at the same time. The boys heads all turned and there stood Umbridge at the end of the corridor. Alex, Fred, George and Harry started walking towards her.
"As I told you once before, Mr Potter, Miss Russo… naught children deserve to be punished." Alex glared at Umbridge and placed her hand on her wand in her pocket. Umbridge smiled evilly before walking away.
"You know George…" Alex, Harry and George turned to look at Fred. "I've always felt our futures lay outside the world of academic achievement." George smiled and looked down at Harry and Alex.
"Fred, I've been thinking exactly the same thing." Alex grinned knowing that they were planning something big.
All the Fifth Years sat in their O.W.L exams with Umbridge standing watching them. Alex looked up to see Hermione (Who was furiously scribbling down answers on her sheet, then rubbing them out, only to write them again), Ron (Who seemed confused and bored) and Harry, who was glaring at Umbridge.
The huge swinging thing behind Umbridge was tormenting Alex. She wished Umbridge would get caught in it and get knocked into a wall or die, or something to that effect.
There was a slight bang outside the hall and about a quarter of the Fifth Years turned around to look at the door. Alex and Harry turned their heads back to look at Umbridge who looked confused as to what was going on. There were a few more bangs and by this time everyone had stopped and turned around.
Umbridge walked down the Great Hall (Where the exams were taking place) and when she final got there she opened the double doors.
Alex laughed when she saw only a small sparkler firework appear in front of Umbridge; it lingered inches away from her face before shooting into the Great Hall and exploding, (A few sparks) and whooped. Umbridge took a few more steps forward.
Suddenly Fred and George went shooting past on their brooms throwing fireworks as they went. George cast a spell to make everyone's exam paper fly away.
As Umbridge stepped back into the Great Hall, all the fireworks turned into a dragon and started chasing her. It closed shut at the end of the hall and a few seconds after vanishing; all the notices smashed and fell down.
Everyone ran outside to cheer Fred and George on. A huge 'W' for Weasley appeared in the sky. Alex clapped and cheered along with everyone else but she felt all her energy drain and she sat down on the ground.
Hermione turned around to see her fall and Alex saw Sirius getting tortured by Voldemort, the ball of light that Mr Weasley was helping protect.
This really was war.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Alex were in Umbridge's office crouched by the fire.
"When are you going to get it into your head, that we are all in this together?" Hermione said after Harry suggesteded they got some help while he went to the Ministrey.
"That you are." The four turned around to see Umbridge and her squad.
