The Boy Who Fought: OC X Hermione

Empty

"Sirius, Dad! Are you here?!" Carson shouts, sticking his head out of the fireplace. There is no answer and the house is silent.

"Sirius! Lupin! Hello?" Carson called out, Kreacher the house elf turning up.

"Well, the Marshall boy is here in the fire..."

"Kreacher! Is Sirius or dad here?"

"Master went out and brought the blood traitor with him.."

"You know where he is don't you?"

"Master doesn't tell Kreacher where he goes..."

"But you know?"

"Master and his blood traitor will never return from the department of mysteries!" Kreacher spat out, laughing evilly.

"Carson!" Hermione's faint voice shouted, as a finger pulled him back into the pink office. His head popped out of the fire and he was thrown onto the floor.

"You think you could simply walk into my office without me knowing it? Foolish boy!" Carson looked around the room to see Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Ron, and Malfoy and his goons all crowded around. All their wands were clattered on the floor.

"Accio wand!" And Carson's wand flipped from his pocket into Umbridge's hands.

"Who were you trying to contact?"

"None of your business."

"Draco, would you fetch professor Snape please?"

Draco leaves the room and Umbridge smiles sickeningly at Carson.

"Very well Marshall. I've been patient enough with you."

Draco suddenly returned with Snape and he looked at the scene with zero emotion just like always.

"You wished to see me?" He drawled out in a monotone voice.

"I have caught Marshall here trying to communicate with someone in my fire. I need you to fetch the veritaserum truth serum."

"Well, it appears I cannot help you with this one. I have none." He told the pink toad before Harry shouted desperately, "He's got padfoot! At the place where it's hidden!"

"What? What does that mean?"

"Potter, if I want nonsense shouted at me, I shall contact you."

He leaves the room and Umbridge turns to Carson again. "We've played nicely Marshall, you leave me no choice. Crucio!" she casted, Carson falling in pain. Everyone looked at Carson in shock, some starting to tear up at how much pain he was in and hearing his screams, even Malfoy had a look of shock and another thing nobody could identify.

"If only the dementors I sent had stopped and finished you Potter! You wouldn't have caused this on your friend!"

"You sent the dementors?"

"Of course I did! Someone had to act!"

"Stop! Stop it! Please! We'll tell you just stop! Don't hurt him!" Hermione cried, watching Carson scream in agony as he writhed on the floor.

"Well, well. Now we're getting somewhere." Umbridge said pleased with herself.

"No Hermione! Don't tell her!" Carson shouted through the pain, as Hermione had tears rapidly falling down her cheeks.

"We have to tell her Carson!"

"I'd rather die!"

"Shut up Marshall! Now talk, you silly girl! Who were you talking to?"

"Dumbledore! We were trying to find Professor Dumbledore and contact him. We had to tell him..."

"Tell him what?"

"That it's ready. The weapon."

"You and Mr. Potter will take me to it."

"Alright..."

"Lead the way stupid girl."

As the three left, Ron helped Carson up. "Mate...are you alright?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine."

"Shut up Marshall!" Malfoy sneered, dragging Carson up by the hood on his hoodie.

"God I can't wait to have you all expelled. You've been stinking up the place for way too long."

"Shut up Malfoy! Take a swan dive off the astronomy tower."

Malfoy grinned evilly, before punching Carson right in the gut, causing him to double over. "That's for speaking to me! You know, you're just as bad as mudbloods!" Carson fell right near all the wands and carefully picked his wand up without anyone noticing before staggering back up.

"You know Weasley, it's a shame Potter saved you in the chamber of secrets." He sneered, as Ginny struggled against Crabbe's hold.

"Stupefy!" Carson shouted, knocking all the Slytherins back and everyone grabbing their wands. Goyle went to raise his wand at Neville. but Neville was faster.

"Expelliarmus!" Neville shouted, and Goyle's wand flew right to him. The group all ran out of the room and Carson sent a light to Hermione from his necklace.

The group ran down to Hagrid's hut, meeting up with Harry and Hermione. Both Harry and Hermione looked surprised that they escaped.

"So how do we get to the ministry?"

"Well I'd imagine we fly."
