N.E.W.T. week

As the months ran into that of summer, I had another dream one night. It was the same one as over vacation but this time Icould see the faces. It was Neville, Luna, Harry, Fred, George, Hermione, and Ron. What I didn't get this time was any voices. It seemed as if the focus shifted away, being able to focus on one thing at a time.

My lessons with the various instructors had exhausted themselves out, but Firenze was still trying to help me focus on my abilites. I hadn't had a dream that serious in quite sometime. I'd had little visions, what people would be wearing or eating so to say.

I woke up and found that Hermione wasn't in our room. In fact, her bed didn't look slept in at all. I didn't think anything of it until I'd gotten to breakfast and seemed as if they'd all not been there. Looking around I decided to go off in search of Snape who was busy getting ready for this weeks N.E.W.T. exams.

I opened the door to his office and he eyes me wearily. Something happened.

"What is it? Where are they?" I cry out. The feeling of dread washing over me. I watch as he stands and sighs making his way over to the shelf, reaching for his wand. Before he casts a spell we watch as a wide-eyed Draco joins us. He's panting and out of breath, his neat hair now a mess. His breaths working on becoming even as he sees the two of us looking at him.

"They're all safe. They should be arriving shortly." he simply says before gesturing for us to leave.

"What happened?" I ask him once more.

He shakes his head and mouths 'not now.' Gettting the hint I grab Draco's wrist and look around the corridor to make sure it was empty.

"Follow me. Wait a few minutes and meet me in the infirmary. If something happened, that's where we'll find them." I say to him quickly.

"I could have told you that. Go, now." Draco says seeing some of his 'friends' coming donw the halls. I try to brush past them before I'm stopped by Parkinson once again.

"Well, well, well. Looks like you've entered the den. Just what are you doing down here?" Pansy asks, eyeing me.

"Nothing for you to worry about, Parkinson. Excuse me." I say trying to push past, having her trip me once again. Out of instinct I reach for my wand, but shake my head. I ahd more important fish to fry at the moment.

In a bed was an unconsious Harry, Ron in a bed, Luna staring out of a window, and Neville petting his toad Trevor in a chair. I walk in sitting next to Fred and George by Ron's bed seeing he was awake.

"What happened?" I asked them.

Exchanging looks, they remained silent. I searched each of them for an answer and after what seemed to be awhile I hear the door to the infirmary open and shut. Turning around I find Hermione walking in followed by Draco.

"Tell her." Hermione said sitting by Harry's bed with Draco in suit.

"What's the ferret doing here?" Ron hisses.

"He's not the enemy, but you're making yourself one. Now tell me, what is going on?" I demand. I was sick of the games. I'd thought we made a pact to not lie to one another.

"Well you see, we were in the Ministry." Luna finally sang out.

"The Ministry?" I ask confused. What in the world were students doing in the Ministry?

"Harry had a dream last night, they had Sirius. We'd wanted to wake you but we took some from the DA and-" Ron began to explain.

"Wait, what's the DA?" I ask turning around to look at Draco who shrugged. I looked to Hermione next who looked down at Harry guiltily.
