Ever since Harry had called him on the two way mirror, Sirius had been rather worried about how things were going at Hogwarts. Harry had told him when they last spoke just a week ago that the fireplaces were constantly being monitored by Umbridge since she had arisen to the role of headmistress after a new decree was signed placing her as the head of the school, rather than Minerva McGonagall who was the deputy headmistress. Owls were also being intercepted by members of the Inquisitorial squad, meaning that any suspicious mail was being withheld for screening.
The ministry had basically turned Hogwarts into a prison almost, he had heard that much more firm and strict rules were put in place, Harry was hoping to get an interview done with the father of a girl called Luna Lovegood, Sirius knew Xenophillius and he was a good man who would definitely allow for Harry's truthful statement to be put in his newspaper, he just hoped Harry wouldn't get in too much trouble.
He felt the mirror vibrate and heat up in his jacket pocket, he pulled it out and answered the call and his godson's face appeared in the glass.
"Hey Harry, how are you?" Asked Sirius, it appeared that his godson was still in his bed and he thought he could.make out Ginny Weasley's sleeping form in the bed next to him.
"Depends what you're asking?" Said Harry with a grin. "If you're wondering about my love life, it's going splendidly, if you are asking about my school life, it's been pretty shambolic."
"I see, I assume that woman in your bed is Ginny." Said Sirius.
"Yes it is Sirius." Said Ginny's sleepy voice as she turned to the mirror with a sleepy smile. "And morning to you as well."
Sirius chuckled at this remark before his expression turned serious, no pun intended. "What's Umbridge up to now?"
"Well I'm going to Hogsmeade and meeting up with Luna, Hermione and Rita Skeeter for my interview." Said Harry.
"Be careful of her Harry. You don't know what her game is." Said Sirius
"It's fine, Hermione apparently as information about her that if leaked to the press, would end her career." Ssid Harry.
"Well that's good then," said Sirius offhandedly. "Dumbledore contacted me, he wants Snape to teach you occlumency, just giving you the heads up on that." Said Sirius as he watched his godson's expression turn very sour.
"Of course it's with him," Said Harry and Ginny could only nod in agreement. "Where did he run off too then?"
"Don't know," said Sirius. "Though apparently he is in hiding courtesy of an organisation that wants to help with dealing with Voldemort."
"Like the order?" Harry whispered curiously.
Sirius shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, but he trusts them and I don't think he'll be returning until the end of the year once Umbridge is gone."
"Well, nice chatting with you Sirius but Ginny has to go and I want to say goodbye." Said Harry.
"You must be worth a lot to her if she's willing to sneak into the same dorm as her brother to sleep with you," he said before raising his eyebrow. "You aren't by any chance doing that."
Harry was about to answer after blushing furiously when Ginny spoke for him. "Don't answer that Harry, leave Snuffles in suspense."
Harry turned back to Sirius and simply waves goodbye before his face disspeared from Sirius's communication mirror.
That was a point that Harry had raised though, who or what was this organisation and why did they want to help them, what motive did they have?
*
Harry placed the mirror into his beside draw as he turned to Ginny, she had propped her head up on a pillow, facing him with a look of love as he cuddled back into her.
"Don't go." He said playfully as he. burrowed his head into the part of her exposed breast.
"I won't yet, but perhaps I should spend sometime making sure you aren't all tense for your interview." Said Ginny as she slipped her hand into his boxers and Harry's breath hitched as her soft fingers wrapped around him, he did have a rather bad case of morning wood and it was much better if it was her hands that solved the problem rather than his.
She gently pumped him with her fingers trailing over his shaft as her thumb rubbed over the tip, rubbing over the sensitive underside of the head causing Harry to groan, thank god he had set up privacy wards.
He kissed Ginny passionately and she rolled over him so that she was on top, straddling him as she continued to jerk him off expertly with her hand.
Harry moaned as her other hands cupped his balls, tickling and fondling them as she continued to pump him to his climax. He finished in her hands with a groan as she kept up her ministrations until he was completely sated.
"I love waking up to that." Said Harry as he gave Ginny a long, deep kiss as he held her close.
"I know you do, I have to go now though." She said quietly.
"I love you." Said Harry, holding onto her hand before she could get up.
"I love you too." Said Ginny, before sneaking out of his dormitory.
When he heard her shut the door quietly, he let out a tired sigh as he collapsed back onto the bed, he felt cold and snuggled into the spot on his bed where she had just been.
*
The day in Hogsmeade so far had been really good Harry thought as he and Ginny wandered the streets of Hogsmeade in the spring weather, there were making their way to the three broomsticks where Hermione, Luna and Rita Skeeter would be. Even though it was valentines day, Ginny said she always found valentine's day to be pointless, a day where you allegedly spend quality time with your partner.
"It's not how relationships should work where there is one day in the whole year you do stuff with your other half, everyday should be special to a couple." Said Ginny as she circled her arm with his as they strolled down to the three broomsticks. Harry could only agree as they reached the entrance.
He entered the pub with Ginny by his side and he scanned the area, trying to find the three women he was looking for.
"There." Said Ginny pointing at where Hermione was.
Harry approached Hermione, Luna and Rita Skeeter who had all ordered drinks for themselves.
"Sorry I'm late." Said Harry as he pulled out a chair for Ginny before plopping himself down on one too.
"Jenny Wealsey," scoffed Rita skeeter, clearly mispronouncing her name on purpose giving Ginny a look as if she was dung on the bottom of her shoe. "Surely you could do better Potter."
"Unless you want to spend a nice long stay in Azkaban Rita," began Hermione, glaring at her. "I suggest you keep your trap shut about topics that aren't related to what we are here for today, especially if they aren't true."
Ginny smiled her thanks to Hermione as Rita Skeeter huffed. "Alright little miss perfect, what am I even here for anyway?"
"Well, Harry here is going to give you an interview on what happened last year when Voldemort returned and you are going to write down every thing he says, the truth and not some made up or slightly altered version of what he said, got it?" Explained Hermione.
"The daily prophet wouldn't allow it to be posted, its run by the ministry anyway silly girl." Said Rita Skeeter, rolling her eyes at Hermione.
"That's why Luna is here, because her dad owns the Quibbler and it will be published in that magazine instead." Said Hermione.
"Fat chance of anyone reading what comes out of the Quibbler these days and believing it." Said Rita Skeeter in a mocking tone.
"I don't care, you stick to our agreement." Saud Hermione defiantly.
Rita rolled her eyes again before turning to Harry, her quill in hand and a sheet of parchment infront of her, Hermione had confiscated her special quill as it tended to write a false version of what someone said.
"I can give you the names of the death eaters if you want," Said Harry confidently. "I wasn't the only one their at the graveyard."
"I would love them," said Rita Skeeter as she eagerly wrote done on her sheet of parchment. "Let's see, a great bold headline: Harry Potter names Death eaters among us: then a big photograph of you underneath. Disturbed teenager, survivor of you-know-who attack, caused outrage yesterday by accusing prominent members of the wizarding community if being death eaters..."
Rita Skeeter frowned, as though her rapturous writing had been brought to a skidding halt, she turned to Hermione. "But of course, little miss perfect wouldn't want that would she."
"That is exactly what little miss perfect wants," Said Hermione with a smirk. "As long as what you put down has the truth in it I think that's would be good enough."
"Very well." said Rita Skeeter as she took a sip of her drink.
"Ready to tell the truth Harry?" Asked Hermione.
Ginny grabbed Harry's hand in support which made him smile. "I suppose."
"Fire away then Rita." Said Hermione, as she fished a cherry out from the bottom of her glass.
*
Luna had told Harry that she wouldn't know quite when his interview would be published but that it would probably be within the next week. Harry was bubbling with anticipation about what people were going to think of it.
He had to push those thoughts aside as he was making his way to Snape's classroom because of his Occlumency lesson was tonight and Harry wasn't looking forward to it in the slightest.
"Enter." Came Snape's voice when Harry knocked on the door. He entered the classroom and found that all the stools had been moved off to one side and their was a small chair in the middle of the room.
"Take a seat Potter and we will begin." Said Snape, motioning to the chair, Harry took his seat as Snape carried on. "Occlumency is the study and development of the ability to resist attacks on the mind from an art known as Legillimency."
"What happens if someone attacks your mind?" Asked Harry.
"You refer to me as sir or professor Snape, we are still in school." Said Snape abruptly.
"What happens if someone attacks your mind, sir?" Asked Harry again.
"If successful, they could read it, manipulate it, control it." Said Snape pausing as he pulled a memory from his head and placed into what looked like Dumbledore's pensive before focusing back on Harry. "Dumbledore believes that these visions that you are having could become more sinister and dangerous if the dark lord discovers the connection and uses it to plant false visions or control your mind."
Snape stood infront of Harry now, his other hand resting over the one that held his wand as it pointed directly at the ground. "I will attempt to penetrate your mind, you will resist control."
"But how will I do that?" Asked Harry.
"By keeping me out, Legillimens!" Said Snape as Harry felt a powerful force that began to invade his mind, he was brought to a memory of himself, Ron and Hermione one afternoon on the train ride back to Hogwarts at the end of last year.
Harry strained but was helpless as Snape eventually stopped and pulled back out of Harry's mind.
"You made no effort to resist me Potter, your mind is like an open book and the Dark lord would be able to feast upon this information if he ever discovered your pathetic Occlumency." Said Snape, giving Harry a scathing look.
"Well perhaps if you told me how I could attempt to block out your attacks." Harry retorted.
"I have told you, you are to force me back out using your mind and your magic, control yourself Potter," Ordered Snape as he rounded his wand on Harry. "Legillimens."
Harry felt the same painful assault on his mind as he groaned yet again, trying to push out Snape without any instruction.
"Come on Potter, resist it." Said Snape as he saw Harry's face contort in pain.
Harry felt he could do nothing as he felt Snape invade his memories, he found himself moving towards the mysterious door on level nine of the ministry of magic.
Snape relented and Harry felt himself gasping for breath as Snape sneered at Harry.
"What's in the department of mysteries?" Asked Harry.
"What did you say Potter?" Sneered Snape.
"I said, what's in the department of mysteries, sir?!" Asked Harry, glaring at his potions professor.
"Nothing of your concern." Said Dnape calmly.
"You're wrong, I keep having visions of that door, Voldemort has something there and he wants it." Retorted Harry.
"Potter you will drop the subject immediately!" Ordered Snape.
Harry had already had enough of these lessons and he had only been in the room for twenty minutes. "I'm not bothering with these lessons, you don't even know how to teach me the subject without getting past your pathetic hatred for me because of my father."
"You are spineless as well as arrogant Potter, just like your father." Sneered Snape.
"My father was a good man, the less can be said about you!" Harry spat at Snape before abruptly slamming the door behind him as he practically legged his way back to Gryffindor tower.
When he exited the portrait hole and into the common room, he found Ginny, Hermione and Ron waiting for him. He sat down and rested his head against the bottom of the sofa, his eyes fixed on the dying embers of the fireplace.
Ginny moved herself into Harry's lap, running her hands through her hair as Ron asked how badly his lessons with Snape were.
"He didn't even try to teach me how to block his attacks on my mind, he just said to bot let him in." Said Harry.
"Maybe it's one of those skills where you have to keep doing badly to get better," said Ron. "Like repeated mind invasions until your mind adapts to block him out."
"No, Occlumency isn't like that Ron," said Ginny. "By the sounds of it, Professor Snape just took joy in attacking Harry's mind."
"He saw the visions of the entrance to the department of mysteries as well," Said Harry as they all listened to him intently. "I asked him what was kept there but he told me it was none of my concern."
"The department of mysteries is sort of a separate body of the ministry, even though it is considered a department, it is in fact an international group of sorts, so whatever is kept in there is of key interest to Voldemort." Said Hermione.
"Which would be why you know," said Ron in a hushed voice. "The Order are guarding it."
"Well no one wants to me what it is exactly so I wouldn't know." Said Harry in a slightly annoyed tone.
They all lapsed into silence before Harry and Ron separated from the girls to make their way to their dorm, though Harry's caught Ginny's eye and winked at her as she dissapeared from view.

"The dark lord will see you now Lucius." Said Wormtail as he stood outside of the throne room of the old mansion.
Lucius nodded and stepped inside to find the dark lord sat down, facing him. There was no nagini by his side anymore and Voldemort had been thoroughly pissed off from finding out his loyal pet had died so much that the three death eaters that were in the room were all wiped out as a result of Voldemort's rage, he had shredded through their bodies with his magic leaving mutilated corpses in his wake.
"Lucius," Said Voldemort curtly as the Malfoy patriarch got on one knee and bowed before him. "You may stand."
Lucius got up and stood before the dark lord. "What is it you wanted to speak to me about my lord?"
"I am very impressed Lucius, I was worried that the task you and Bella had would be too great, the SCP foundation have proven a difficult opposition, despite being mere muggles." Explained Voldemort. "One of their anomalies in particularly has proven to be more than just an annoyance."
"Who would this be my lord?" Asked Lucius curiously.
"It is designated as SCP-1853," said Voldemort as he held out his hand and a large sheet of parchment formed in his outstretched palm. "I need you and a few death eaters to gather as much information on it as you can, their is a facillity at the top of Scafell Pyke in which it is usually contained in."
"I will get on it immediately my lord." Ssid Lucius as he bowed one last time before exiting the room.
Voldemort turned to the roaring fire as he though to himself, the death eaters at containment area 25b had perished which he had expected. However, SCP-1853 hadn't shown its true power yet was capable of defeating a powerful anomaly with ease.
He had setup multiple surveillance charms in the site with the assistance of many of his death eaters, which had allowed him to begin with the plan in the first place.
He had other plans though, the department of mysteries would soon be infiltrated, and Voldemort would be able to discover a way to defeat the boy-who-lived, his sworn enemy would die either by his hand, or someone else's, He just hoped he would see it.

The influx of mail whilst tucking into his breakfast at half nine in the morning on a Sunday had at first caught Harry of guard, owls swooped in from the roof of the great hall and dropped tons of letters for him.
"That's a lot of mail there," Said Hermione with a raised eyebrow. "Wonder what their reactions are?"
Harry nodded. "Only one way to find out." He opened the first one, Luna had gotten up from the Ravenclaw table to join them.
"This person thinks I'm deluded and should keep my trap shut." Said Harry, tossing the letter onto the table.
"You mind if we..." Said Ron, motioning to the other mail.
"Knock yourself out mate." Said Harry flatly as he opened up another letter himself.
Hermione, Ron, Ginny and the twins had all gathered around Harry as they began to open up more letters, some were full of admiration for Harry speaking out against the ministry's blatant incompetence for not listening to him, others were of a mixed opinion about the situation, they weren't a fan fo the ministry burrowing their ideology into hogwarts, but they also didn't think Harry was telling the truth. And then there were people who told Harry that he should be in the permanent spell damage ward of St. Mungo's hospital for magical maladies.
There were also some very illuminating pieces of mail, or so Harry found when he opened another envelope and pulled out a pair of red lacy knickers, he immediately put them back in and sealed the envelope tightly, blushing furiously as he did so.
Ginny raised an eyebrow at him, thankfully no one else had noticed though she gave him a sly wink before opening another envelope.
After that incident, he was thankful here were no more over the top gifts in his "fanmail." Luna informed him that her dad was having to reprint copies of the Quibbler as it was going viral over the latest article.
Unfortunately, the sorting of the mail had brought enough unwanted attention that Umbridge had made her way over to where Harry was sat.
"What is all this commotion about Mr. Potter?" Asked Umbridge, eyeing up the large amount of open envelopes suspiciously.
"What is it illegal for us to receive mail now?" Asked Fred sarcastically.
"You will keep your mouth shut Fred Weasley unless you wish for a weeks detention." Said Umbridge before turning back to Harry clearly still waiting for an answer.
"It's people's response to an interview I did in Hogsmeade." Said Harry. Lying to Umbridge would not work and probably get in more trouble, besides everyone was now listening intently at what was unfolding.
"A what?" Umbridge asked in a confused tone.
"An interview, where I get asked questions and I give an answer." Said Harry in a mocking tone.
"What were these questions about Mr. Potter?" Asked Umbridge.
"Well since the daily prophet won't publish the truth about Voldemort returning last summer because you are leaning heavily on the daily prophet, I decided to do an interview with the Quibbler about it." Said Harry, loud enough for everyone to hear him clearly.
Umbridge snatched Harry's copy of the Quibbler and opened it to the page with Harry's interview on it, she assessed as her face turned into one of absolute rage.
"There will be no more Hogsmeade trips for you Mr. Potter," Said Umbridge. "And any copies of the Quibbler that are found will result in the students in question being expelled from Hogwarts!"
She stormed off from the great hall and Harry looked a little defeated at first until he saw the devious smirk coming from Hermione.
"If there is one thing that Umbridge shouldn't do to get people to not believe you Harry, it's banning the Quibbler." Said Hermione.
Harry realised just how spot on Hermione was over the next few weeks, he saw edges of the Quibbler in many of the students cloaks, or other books such as the useless defensive magical theory having the article stuck inside it.
Umbridge had a decree signed in order to allow her to search any student she thought had a copy of the Quibbler, as well as expelling anyone who was found guilty of owning the magazine or a copy of the article. However, the students of Hogwarts seemed to always be one step ahead of her, charming pages with the article to be blank or have something completely different on it.
The twins had begun a series of pranks on members of the Inquisitorial squad, Ginny had joined in with some more creative ideas and some rather nasty ones that made even Harry wince, he remembered her saying something about Malfoy's underwear being quite tight and constricting around his privates. Harry laughed the next day when he saw the signs of the snarky git being in extreme pain because of it.
The teachers had been showing their support to Harry, in ways that wouldn't be suspicious to any members of the Inquisitorial squad or Umbridge herself. Some of these had included Harry recieving sixty points to Gryffindor from professor Sprout in herbology one afternoon for passing a watering can to her during the lesson. Flitwick had given him a small box of sugar mice at the end of his lesson before quickly running off to help another student.
Ginny had also taken the opportunity to deliberately interrupt him in the boys dorm shower one evening, she had snuck in with invisibility cloak.
"What are you doing in here?" Asked Harry quietly as his girlfriend in only her underwear and one of his shirts pressed herself against him.
"Thought I'd come visit you," said Ginny as she felt his erection brush her flat stomach and she gasped playfully.
"You happy to see me then?" She said as she grapsed him gently, her fingers wrapping around his shaft.
"Very." Said Harry as he leaned in to kiss her deeply.
He had gapsed and moaned at the foreign touch on his manhood and had whipped off the cloak from her body as the two made out in the shower whilst she jerked him off till he climaxed and finished over Ginny's hands.
All in all, it was a very good few weeks for Harry, alot of people now believed him and he hoped this would be the start of the fall of Umbridge.

"Lights out!!" Ordered the head Azkaban security guard as the dementors patrolled past the cells of all the inmates, it was a normal routine evening for the guards of Azkaban.
What they hadn't expected was the massive explosion to rip through the wizarding prison, causing powerful vibrations that caused many of the guards to lose their balance.
Many of the cell doors opened as inmates broke free, attacking guards or attempting to flee from the prison through one of the exits.
There were large amounts of in-fighting, between the inmates, guards and dementors as all hell broke loose in Azkaban.
Many death burst into the room and began to duel the auror guards as a patronus was sent out to the auror department at the ministry of magic for reinforcements.
"Grab our fellow brothers and sister!" Shouted one of the lead death eaters. "Kill anyone that doesn't have the dark mark!"
The volume of green jets of light that came from the wands of the death eaters lit up the whole prison in its deadly green colour as inmates and aurors fell to the ground.
There was a small squad of death eaters that were solely focused on pressuring the dementors, the dark lord had requested that the dementors be captured as part of his ever growing resources.
There were loud pops as more and more auror reinforcements began to flood the wizarding prison, taking out stray death eaters and inmates whilst the majority of the death eater force were able to use charms portkeys to escape before they lost anymore of their allies.
"Inform the minister that a large number of death eaters, along with the dementors of Azkaban, have escaped," Said the lead auror in a very concerned tone. "This isn't good."
One of the aurors meanwhile, made his way through the prison and checked around quickly to make sure no one was listening in before pulling out a small radio device from his pocket, an SCP foundation emblem was inscripted onto it.
"This is MM-2 reporting to the 05 Council, there has been a large breakout at the wizarding prison of Azkaban, requesting that all sites be put on high alert." Said the auror.
He was a member of the recently formed Mobile task force Delta-nine, which were most commonly referred to as the "magical maniacs" and were positioned in several areas of the wizarding world as to assist with monitoring and alerting the 05 Council of any possible breaches of secrecy. Since Voldemort had returned, the magical maniacs had been fully mobilised into the wizarding world, taking up more active roles as to provide the SCP foudnation with as much intel as possible in order for them to ascertain any possible security measures.
"Jackson!" Called one of the other aurors, Jackson stuffed his radio back into his pocket before making is way back to his team. "We are to assist with clean up, Scrimgeour is going to want a report."
"Got it." Said Jackson as he followed his fellow auror, it wouldn't be long before the news of the breakout reached the general public.
A/N: Not too much of the SCP foundation will crop up for now, the next time they do the real shit begins.
