The group of friends ran up the Great Staircase quickly, Harry and Y/N in the lead. The pain on their scars was still there, but subsiding with each passing minute. The steps moved once as they all made their way up another flight, questions being fired at the two cousins.
"Are you two sure," Karan asked frantically, Y/N and Harry not sparing a second glance as they reached the top of the stairs. "Positive," Y/N replied hastily. "We saw it. It was just like with Mr. Weasley," Harry continued. "It's the same door we've been seeing; dreams and all."

None of them said anything as the two cousins sent them pleading looks, silently praying for them to agree. Hermione turned to Ron and Corey, the two boys only holding a blank expression. "She's right," Corey spoke, "We can't leave him."

"—Umbridge has the chimneys under surveillance," Hermione spoke, cutting Harry off. Sofia shook her head as the group of friends started to run down the hallway.
"Not all of them, she doesn't."

"Alohomora."
The wooden door of Umbridge's office unlocked, Harry lowering his wand. He went for the handle, swinging the door open as they started to all file into the room. The group looked around as Y/N and Harry made their way towards the fireplace.
