Chapter 30 – Kittens and Phoenix'

Larissa and Colin had taken photo's of the rest of the kittens, and a family photo, with all of them and Snowbelle too, when they went to Hogsmeade, Colin got the photos printed and gave them to Larissa.

Amelia, Catherine, and Emily had loved the kittens, and between them, had come up with the name Alana, for the kitten that was white with ginger patches on her back. Larissa wrote Alana next to the number two. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny had also come to see them, and Hermione had thought of Roo for a little ginger one, with cream flecks in his fur.

So now only two of the kittens remained with out names. She couldn't send her parents a picture of them until they all had names, so she was thinking about it very hard. The male kitten that didn't have a name, was a greyish colour, with a pale ginger tummy. And the female was purely ginger, but had a white tip on her tail. She came up with Nellie for that one, and Wolfie for the other, as he looked like a wolf pup.

She went to the owlery and wrote a letter to her parents.

Dear Mum and Dad,

Snowbelle had her kittens! I've put a picture of them in, they're names are:

Simba (The Little lion)

Alana (White / Ginger patches)

Roo (Ginger / White flecks)

Wolfie (Wolf Pup)

Nellie (Ginger / White Tip Tail)

Aren't they adorable? I love them. Colin took the picture, and got it developed in Hogsmeade, as I think that he must be the only person in all of Hogwarts with a camera. Make sure you show Remus and the others when they're there.

Lots of love

She tied the letter to Nero's leg, and watched as he flew off into the distance. Time really was going fast, they had already had the first April Hogsmeade visit, but you would only really notice the time flying by, when you looked at the kittens, they really were growing fast, just as Snowbelle herself had done years ago.

They had a few more DA meetings, but Harry said that they would only be able to have them a few times every other week, because of study time, and they were getting through a lot in the DA lessons.

The one person who Larissa had wanted to see the kittens but hadn't was Draco, she brought him into the Gryffindor common room, and took him up to her dorm to see the kittens, they were almost a month old, and on occasion, Larissa would bring them down to the common room, Simba loved the attention the most, and Nellie was a little more cautious and stayed close to Snowbelle and Larissa.

Multiple times, Umbridge had nearly caught them out, so Harry was packing as much into the lessons as he could.

It was now nearly the end of May, and they were in the middle of a DA lesson when their was a slight knocking on the door. Everyone backed away, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood there with their wands drawn along with some seventh years.

'Bombarda Maxima.' They heard a sickly sweet voice say, and the wall was blasted apart. Umbridge and her Inquisitorial squad, dragged all of the members to Dumbledore's office. In there, sat a girl sitting in a chair, being questioned by the Minister for Magic.

Larissa saw Cho's eyes widen and she realised that it was Marietta. Hermione was looking guilty, annoyed, and smug. Larissa realised that Hermione must have put a charm, on the piece of parchment.

'See? Proof of what I have been telling you Minister, Dumbledore's Army.' Umbridge said,

'No, it was me!' Harry protested

'How nice of you to shield me Harry, but this piece of parchment clearly says Dumbledore's Army, not Potters.'

'I'm afraid we're going to have to take you Dumbledore.' Fudge said, not sounding sorry at all

'Ah, I thought we might hit this little snag, you see I have no intention of going to Azkaban.' And with that, Fawkes flew up above Dumbledore's head, and they disappeared in flames.

'Find him!' Fudge called, and soon, only the students, and Umbridge were left in his office.

They didn't risk having another meeting, and the rest of the month was rather dull with out it to look forward to.

A/N: I hope you liked it
