On Monday Krystal walked into her potions exams with the utmost confidence. Next to D.A.D.A, Potions was her favorite subject, the thought of taking various things and creating something astounded her, and the things they created could lighten your mood, heal you, curse you...all of this done by her own hand.

Professor Snape wasn't there but it didn't faze her, Krystal went about her exams perfectly, and for once she felt like she could confidently admitted that she knew she got an Outstanding.

With the end of exams came the stress free sighs of the students as well as the looming gossip of Hagrid literally being chased off the the Hogwarts grounds by Umbridge and some Unknown "helpers," the same ones that sent four stunning spells straight into the chest of Professor McGonagall.

Not to mention the scene Harry caused earlier with his "fit" that he managed to brush off as fall asleep and having a nightmare.

"I just overheard Parvati telling lavender that Harry's collapsed during his exam." Hermione approached Krystal worriedly.

"It's the connection, he hasn't been doing his Occlumency." Krystal growled in frustration. "I have to talk to him, I must know what he's seen."

Hermione, Krystal, and Ron took off to find him.

"There he is," Ron pointed up at the top of the marble staircase

"Harry!" Hermione said at once, but it was Krystal who was bolting up the stairs, only she knew the severity if the latest "dream."

"I have to talk to you now." Krystal said as calmly as she could before she grabbed his hand and dragged him along the first floor corridor until they found an empty classroom.

"Who was it?" Krystal asked frantically once they were all in there, "what did he show you?"

"It's Sirius, Voldemort's got Sirius!"

"It's a lie." Krystal disagreed.

"Krystal I've seen it!"

"Damn it Harry, trust me when I say that I've seen this" Krystal shouted, then looked around to make sure no one in passing had heard her. "This is a a lie that Voldemort planned for you to see so that he can lure you to the ministry of magic, it's you he wants not Sirius."

"Harry I really think you should listen to Krystal." Hermione suggested.

"No, no we've all heard her say on multiple occasions that her abilities aren't as trustworthy as they once were, and I will not risk losing the only family I have on the off chance that she's wrong."

Harry's words hurt.

"Krystal are you okay?" Ron asked gently as he noticed her sudden sadness.

"Yeah, no he's right, l-let's make sure this whole thing is real and not some well devised plan to lure Harry to the ministry."

"We have to get there, but how?"

"G-get there?!" Ron asked

Things escalated quickly when Hermione began calling Harry out in his "Hero complex." but everyone shut up when Ginny and Neville walked in, Luna (who was originally there as well) was no where to be seen.

"We recognized Harry's voice," Ginny confessed, "what were you yelling about?"

"Never you mind." Harry sounded grouchy.

"They're going to help us." Krystal sighed.

Everyone looked at her, "look if we're going to do this we best get it over and done with, no need in prolonging the inevitable."

"I want to make sure first, I won't let any of us risk our lives if it isn't true!" Hermione stood her ground.

"Fine." Krystal got out before she began instructing Ginny and Neville to take watch of the corridors to make sure no one came up to Umbridges office. Ron was to inform Umbridge that Peeves was destroying the transfiguration room to lure her away and Krystal and Hermione would be standing watch as well.

The plan set off in no time and just like Krystal had read so long ago, Ron had gotten Umbridge out of her office before Neville and Ginny took their positions.

Harry, Krystal, and Hermione entered the room and Harry set off through the fire, Kreacher of course answered but to Krystal pleasure he was much more informative.

"Master Black had stepped out with mister Lupin." Kreacher informed Harry.

But before any other words could be exchanged Umbridge barged in with Ron, Neville, Ginny and her Inquisitorial Squad. Millicent Bulstrode tried to squish Hermione straight into the wall as she pinned Hermione against the wall with her back while Gertrude Yaxley held roughly onto Krystal's arms as she stood behind her.

Umbridge shouted and questioned Harry about who he was talking to, Harry refused to tell her so she called Snape for assistance.

"I would like to use another bottle of Veritaserum as quickly as you can please." Umbridge insisted upon his initial arrival.

"You took my last bottle...surely you didn't use the whole bottle."

She flushed, "you can make more, can't you?"

He then told her how it would take a full moons cycle for the potion to mature and that he would have it ready for her in a month.

"You're on probation!" Umbridge shouted at Snape.

"He's got Padfoot!" Harry shouted, "he's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden!"

Everyone remained silent with the exception of Umbridge who quickly began to question what a Padfoot is.

Snape declined that he understood what Harry was babbling about and left. Krystal knew that he understood and he would warn the rest of the Order.

Umbridge had reached her breaking point, in frustration she readied herself to perform an illegal Cruciatus curse all while confessing to sending the Dementors to attack Harry all for the sake of Cornelius Fudge.

Krystal caught Hermione's eye and motioned toward the Forbidden Forest before mouthing the words 'Hagrid's Brother.'

"Just tell her Harry!" Hermione shouted as she quickly understood what Krystal was trying to tell her.

Everything stopped and Umbridge rounded on the now fake sobbing Hermione.

"He was trying to speak to professor Dumbledore." She quickly lied, Hermione knew it was the one thing Umbridge would literally kill for information on. "We wanted to tell him... it's ready."

"What's ready?"

"The weapon." Hermione said swiftly. "You see, he had to...well he had to leave before it was finished and n-n-now we've finished it for him."

"Lead me to the weapon."

"I'm not showing them." Hermione shrilly threw out there, she knew there was no way this would work if anyone other than Umbridge joined them.

After some persuasion Umbridge settled on just having Hermione and Harry come along.

After Krystal knew Umbridge was far enough away she did the one thing she had been wanting to do since she found out all about Gertrude and her evil two faced ways.

Krystal let her head fall forward as if in defeat and a couple of Slytherins snickered merrily, that is until she roughly threw her head back, she heard the undeniable sound of a nose being broken and soon her arms were released.

Everyone seemed stunned but it didn't take long for the Gryffindors to do whatever they could to get free. After the tousle Krystal performed a full body binding curse on each of the Slytherins now writhing on the floor. "Petrificus Totalus."

Krystal filled them in on Hermione's plan and they all ran as fast as they could to reach the forbidden forest.

When they reached the edge of the forest Harry and Hermione were walking out. "how did you get away?" Harry asked.

"A couple of old fashion hits here and there." Krystal said.

"Not to mention a few stunners, a disarming charm, Ginny got Malfoy with a bat bogey hex, and Krys got them all with body binding curse." Ron filled them in proudly.

"So we have to get to London." Krystal said, and unfortunately we don't have time to get to the brooms." Krystal panted, she was extremely out of shape these days. "We'll take the Thestrals."

No sooner had the words left her mouth than had a few of them sauntered over in curiosity.

"There are only two." Harry noted.

"We'll need four." Ron said.

"Their are six of us." Ginny pointed out defiantly.

"You're not coming!" Ron scolded her.

Suddenly Harry scar pricked and he knew they were running out of time. "Do what you want but we still need more."

"They'll come." Neville filled them in. "They're attracted to the blood that you two seem to be covered in." He pointed to Harry and Hermione. "Here come more now!"

Neville showed the girls where the Thestrals were and they all mounted the reptilian winged horses. Ron and Harry did the same and soon they were off.
