Juniper stared at Harry, unable to process whatever he had said within the first five seconds.
"What?"
"Voldemort has got Sirius," Harry repeated, still looking terrified. "He's got Sirius, June. We've got to do something!"
"Wait, how do you know if this is true?" Juniper questioned him, feeling that she should be the responsible one this time.
"I saw it. Just now. When I fell asleep in the exam."
Juniper stared at him, unable to say anything.
"Is everything all right?" Angelina's voice came. "Are you okay, June?"
Juniper's eyes darted from her friends, who were eying her worriedly, to Harry, who was still looking at her with a lot of urgency.
"I need your help," June told them, "but there is no time to explain."
Angelina and Alicia exchanged a glance before nodding. "Of course, we'll help," the latter said.
"Now we only have to find Ron and Hermione," Harry breathed, running back to the castle, the three girls following. They eventually followed the duo at the top of the marble staircase.
"Harry!" Hermione said at once, looking very frightened. "What happened? Are you all right? Are you ill?"
"Where have you been?" Ron demanded.
"Come with us," Harry said quickly. "Come on, I've got to tell you something."
He led the five of them along the first-floor corridor, peering through doorways, and at last found an empty classroom into which he dived, closing the door behind Angelina the moment they were all inside, and leanded against it, facing them.
"Voldemort's got Sirius."
"What?"
"How d'you —?"
"Saw it. Just now. When I fell asleep in the exam," Harry explained.
Juniper glanced at Angelina and Alicia who looked very confused, but didn't say anything.
"But — but where? How?" Hermione asked, whose face was white.
"I dunno how," Harry said. "But I know exactly where. There's a room in the Department of Mysteries full of shelves covered in these little glass balls and they're at the end of row ninety-seven . . . he's trying to use Sirius to get whatever it is he wants from in there . . . he's torturing him . . . says he'll end by killing him!"
Juniper winced at this.
"How are we going to get there?" Harry asked them.
There was a moment's silence. Then Ron said, "G-get there?"
