As Dumbledore said, the students feet touched down and they all landed in Dumbledores office where Snape was awaiting them.
Professor Snape quietly ushered them all, with the exception of Harry to the Hospital wing to be looked after.
"Thank you professor." Krystal said as Madame Pomfrey looked everyone over meticulously.
"I am simply doing what was asked of me Miss Montgomery."
"We both know that isn't what I'm thanking you for." She insisted, she was I fact thanking him for warning the others of Harry's coded warning, without his help they could've very well died.
He merely looked at her before turning to Cedric. "Diggory, make sure all students get back to their dormitories." He said before leaving.
As one of the few who hadn't been injured to badly except a few scrapes and bruises, Krystal walked over to Cedric and pulled him to the side.
"How did you end up in the ministry tonight?" Krystal asked him.
Cedric looked at her, it had been a while since these two were this close. He wanted to hug her, it had terrified him to see her surrounded by Death Eaters.
"Uh...actually I was on patrols, it was Professor Snape though, Gave me a port key and told me to get to Sirius' place because that's where Dumbledore was and told me to tell him they had Sirius at the ministry." Cedric admitted. "It was a little weird, I wondered why he hadn't just gone himself...and more curious was when I got to Grimmauld place and found Sirius sitting at the table with Shacklebot, Lupin, Tonks, and Dumbledore...I went ahead and told them what Snape had said and we wasted no time to get to the ministry."
Krystal understood.
Then Cedric did in fact hug her, "Why would you put yourself in danger like that...do you know how freaked out I got when I saw you there?"
"I know." Krystal sounded, "Harry got a vision of Sirius in trouble...i told him it was a fake lie , a set up...but Harry wouldn't listen to me, and I get it...He was worried, but so was I, and there was no way I was letting him go by himself." Krystal admitted before pulling away from their hug.
"I-I should get to bed." Krystal said, she could feel that their hug was reawakening old feeling she was trying to push down since getting with George.
Cedric nodded, "Of course...Good night.""Good night."
. . . . .
"Have you read the morning paper?" Alicia rushed out as Krystal took a late seat for breakfast.
"No."
She thrust the paper forward but Krystal was too busy preparing a coffee to wake up more, "just summarize it for me."
"Oh well, you know...clear skies the rest of the week, Gringotts is hiring and...oh yeah, there was this little thing about You-Know-Who- being alive and walking around!"
Krystal placed a look of faux shock on her face and she grabbed the paper as she let her eyes scan the front page.
"This is horrible, that means Cornelius Fudge had been lying this whole time, who knows, he was probably lying about Sirius Black as well..." Krystal said a little loudly, causing many onlookers to listen more closely. "Mark my words I bet Black's an innocent man and was all one of Fudge's tools to keep the Minister of Magic title."
There were a few whispers but no one laughed it tried to argue with her. Krystal smiled inside, she had a plan to get Sirius off people's most wanted list and this was the beginning.
"I'm gonna go write George and make sure he's alright, I hate to think that Voldemort is out there possibly where George is." She lied.
Krystal got up from her seat and made her way up to Dumbledore's office.
In truth she knew better than anyone Fred and George could watch after themselves. What Krystal really wanted to do was check on Sirius.
She walked up to Dumbledores office and she gave the gargoyles the password before they obliged her an entrance.
"Back again Miss Montgomery?"
"I-I just wanted to check on Sirius, see if there's been any change?" She admitted.
Dumbledore smiled, "Sirius is alive and well, last I checked he was resting along side the other members of the Order, this is your last day in the castle, you should be enjoying yourself, you will be back home with Sirius in no time."
Krystal nodded and then went to seek out her friends once more.
"Why don't we go out to the Quiddich Pitch for one final hooorah." Lee suggested, they all agreed before Krystal made her way over to the Hufflepuff table. "We're going to the Quiddich field you should join us." She said before catching herself, "And Cho of too of course."
Cedric smiled at her nervousness and nodded...Seeing her like this reminded him of when she first arrived at Hogwarts.
Krystal joined her friends and the quickly made their way to the Gryffindor changing room where they grabbed some brooms. When they stepped onto the field they found Cedric already out there.
"Where Cho?" Krystal asked as she kicked off.
"She went home a day early, her parents pulled her out as soon as her mother found out what happened last night."
Angelina, Lee, Katie, and Alicia flew around merrily as they ignored the former couple.
"How's Sirius?" Cedric asked kindly.
Krystal nodded with a smile "he's gonna be alright, still sad about Moody though, he was integral to the original sights."
Cedric shook his head, "it's always business with you...Don't you see that even though Moody's gone you've still got the knowledge of what he was going to do, every plan, every action, all of it is within you, there's a reason you're here right, maybe that reason is to be the new leader of the Order."
Krystal shook her head, "it's not that simple."
"Yes..it really is Montgomery." He chuckled, "stop doubting yourself and your abilities, you've got knowledge of the future, put it to use."
The two stopped hovering around and flew a bit before Lee and the girls joined them, they all played broom tag and then when all was said and done it was time to pack it all up before the end of year feast.
Krystal walked up to the girls rom and couldn't help but look around as she watched her friends talk and get all of their thing packed away.
"Hey Krys, what's up?" Alicia asked softly.
Krystal started tearing up, "This is it...after today we won't all be in this room anymore."
Fresh tears fell down Angelina's cheeks and Katie stepped in and hugged her before Alicia and Krystal Joined.
"We'll stay friends...no matter what." Alicia said.
Kaite nodded.
"You guys I have to tell you all something...something I've been keeping a secret..." Krystal said before filling the girls in on her 'Seer' abilities.
She told them about various things that they'd gone through before her arriving and there was no way she could no and although they were a little freaked out they believed her.
"So you saw fred and I getting together but you didn't see yourself getting with George?" Angelina asked.
Krystal shrugged, "I can't see my own future...otherwise I'm sure I'd of changed a lot of things for a better outcome."
At the feast Krystal felt excited to be ending the year, while it had been rather productive it was also very stressful and eye opening.
In a way she was glad that the Wizarding world knew Voldemort was back so, so much secrecy wouldn't be around next year. And with the prophecy out of the way now there were only Four Horocruxes left.
Marvolo's Ring
Hufflepuff's Cup
Nagini
And Harry
All of these would be tough to come by, Krystal knew Dumbledore would go after The Gaunt family ring alone, simply because of it's connection to the Deathly Hallows.
Then suddenly something occurred to her, next year Snape would kill Dumbledore to keep Malfoy's soul pure in an attempt for Voldemort to get the Elder wand.
As Dumbledore spoke his final words of the year Krystal looked up at him with worry and a lump in her throat.
After the feast they all boarded the Hogwarts Express and Krystal couldn't help but reamin sullen. Her entire mood was effected by the unknown of the upcoming year.And once they reached the train station there was another round of tear filled goodbyes, as Angelina and Alicia would not be coming back next year.
Then she looked over at Cedric and like he usually does he caught her.He smiled and nudged his head as if to call her over.
Krystal smirked and walked over to him."So this is it then?" Krystal asked.
Cedric let out a small chuckle, "I thought I've told you before Montgomery...I don't think this will ever be 'it' for us."
"But you're done." She pointed out.
"Eh..." He shrugged, "Don't count me out just yet...I'm still an Order member, still got a job at Quality Quiddich supplies for now...I'll be around, and always there to save you and keep you out of trouble."
She rolled her eyes but smiled before she gave him a hug. "Thanks."
He sighed, "Any time."
They parted ways and she found her luggage and began looking for a very tall red head...and it didn't take long for her to spot George, she knew he'd be here for his siblings but hoped he'd wait around a bit for her as well.
"Hey there troublemaker," He said with a full smile before pulling her into a hug.
"Hey there yourself." She commented before he bent down and kissed her once, Fred cleared his throat and they pulled apart just before his parents walked over.
"Hello Krystal dear." Molly hugged her warmly, "will you be joining us for the summer?"
"I'd love to come and visit, but I also have to talk with Madame Malkin about getting my summer job back....and I really should check in on Sirius."
"Of course, you know you're welcome around our house any time dear." She said before she went to hug Harry.
"Does she know?" Krystal asked as Mrs Weasley turned to talk with one of her other children..
George shook his head no, indicating he hadn't mentioned anything to her about the two of them dating.
"Well we should probably tell her if you're going to be taking me out and hanging out around the burrow together."
He nodded and took her hand before grabbing her trolly of luggage.
"Oh George..." Molly called out, "will you be home for dinner tonight?"
"Sorry mom, I'm gonna get Krystal home before we head out for our date tonight."
Molly looked from George to Krystal and a slow smile grew along her face. "You two have fun then."
George charmed down her luggage before he apparated them both to Grimmauld place.
The portrait screeched and Kreacher sprang forward to cover it.
"Oh welcome home Miss Krystal, please let me take your things, Master Black is in the kitchen."
George followed the anxious Krystal and upon entry of the kitchen she found a tired looking Lupin and very hungry Sirius.
"Krystal?" He asked as she walked in, he grew more spritely with every step she took.
She hugged him tight.
"He just woke up a few hours ago." Lupin filled her in. "He'll be a hundred percent once he eats a decent meal."
