Lily Black

Chapter 56: Ministy

A few minutes after Snape left, Harry and Hermoine left with Umbridge to go somewhere. I had no clue what their plan was but I was coming up with one of my own. We needed to get out of here.

"So, I hate the silence so I am going to talk if you don't mind. Nothing big, just reminiscing. Hey Ron, Luna, Ginny, Nevile remember what Harry showed us how to do so long ago? About our greatest weapon?" I said hoping they got the message.

"Yes I do." Ginny said. In one swift motion I reached down to my boot where I kept my wand, pulled it out and broke free of Draco's grip. The others quickly followed. Before I knew it spells were flying everywhere.

"Great plan Lily." Ron said once we had stunted them all.

"Thanks." I said. "Let's go find Harry." I said running down the stairs. We ran through the castle to the bridge that connects to the forest. We saw Harry and Hermoine running towards us.

"How'd you get away?" Hermoine asked.

"Lily, she came up with a brilliant plan." Neville said.

"So how are we getting to London?" Neville asked.

"Look, it's not that I don't appreciate everything you've done, all of you but I've got you into enough trouble as it is." Harry said, pushing past us.

"Dumbledore's Army '''s supposed to be about doing something real. Or was that all just words to you?" Neville asked.

"Maybe you don't have to do this all by yourself, mate," Ron said.

"So how are we going to get to london?" Harry asked.

"We fly, of course." Luna said as if everyone knew.

"Fly?" I asked worriedly.

A few moments later we were standing in front of nothing.

"Guys do you see anything?" I asked.

"Nope." Ginny said.

"You will only see them if you have seen death.

"Trust me they are there." Harry said, helping me onto something. I felt I was on something but I could not see it.

A few moments later we were all off and flying on what Harry called thestreals. We flew and flew until we finally arrived at the ministry. We landed them then ran inside. We went down the visitors entrance and started running.

We kept running until we got in the elevator and went down to the department of mysteries.

"This is it." Harry said while walking to the door at the end of the hall. When we walked in there were crystal balls everywhere.

"Lumos." I said and so did others.

"Ninety-two, Ninety-Three." Harry said. It seemed he was looking for a particular shelf.

"He should be here." Harry said when we got to a opening in the shelves.

"Harry. It's got your name on it." Neville said, looking at a crystal ball.

Harry walked up and grabbed it. A whisper came out of the crystal ball and mumbled something I could not hear.

"Harry!" Hermoine said. A man in a mask appeared walking towards us.

"Where's Sirius?" Harry asked,

"You know, you really should learn to tell the difference between dreams and reality." Said the masked man. He waved his wand and the mask disappeared revealing Lucius. I took in a sharp breath. If Lucius was here it was likely Bellatrix was not far behind.

"You saw only what the Dark Lord wanted you to see. Now, hand me the prophecy." Lucius said.

"If you do anything to us, I'll break it." Harry warned. An evil cackle laugh rang out. I knew that laugh. I took in another sharp breath as Bellatrix Lestrange stepped into the light. I quickly took a step back bumping into Hermoine. Hermoine angled herself in front of me, hiding me away. Ginny did the same on my other side.

"He knows how to play. Itty Bitty Baby Potter." She said.

"Bellatrix Lestrange." Neville said.

"Neville Longbottom is it?" She asked. "How's mom and dad?" she laughed. I shifted slightly. "Oh look, it's my play thing. Would you like to have more fun?" She asked me. I whimpered and backed up farther.

"Let's all calm down. Take a breath Lily." Lucius said looking right at me. I let out a shaking breath. "All we want is that prophecy." Lucius said.

"Why did Voldermort need me to come and get this?" Harry asked.

"You dare speak his name? You filthy half-blood!" Bellatrix yelled.

"It's all right. He's just a curious lad, aren't you?" Lucius asked. "Prophecies can only be retrieved by those about whom they are made. Which is lucky for you, really."

"Haven't you always wondered what was the3 reason for the connection between you and the dark lord?" Lucius asked, shifting closer to us.. "Why he was unable to kill you when you were just an infant? Don't you want to know the secret of the scar? All the answers are there, Potter, In your hand. All you have to do is give it to me? Then I can show you everything."

Death eaters got closer all around us.

"I have waited fourteen years." Harry said.

"I know." Lucuis said.

"I guess I can wait a little longer. Now. Stupefy!" Harry called, knocking Lucius back. We took this opportunity to start throwing spells at the other death eaters.
