During the fireworks, I saw Harry collapse. I gasped and looked at Draco. "I have to help him." Draco grabbed my hand and I looked back at him. "I'll help." A small smile on his face. We rushed over to Harry and helped him up and took him to a bench where it wasn't crowded. "Stay here with him I'll be back." I said to Draco as I ran to the infirmary wing. "Hey, Madam Pomfrey, Harry's having a vision again." I said.

She looked concerned and quickly got a bottle out of the cupboard. "This should help bring him out of it." I thanked her and ran back as fast as I could. I handed Harry the bottle and he drank it. Soon he stood up and held his forehead. "Thanks." He said as I held him seeing that he was still a little bit hazey. Ron and Hermione came over and noticed Draco. "What is he doing here?" Ron asked on guard. I rolled my eyes and was about to speak but Harry beat me to it.

"He helped Ally bring me here. I had another vision." Harry spoke.

We rushed up the stairs as Harry told us what he saw. Knowing what I know now about Voldemort it sent chills down my spine. "Don't you think Voldemort wanted you to see it? What if it's a trap?" Hermione asked worried. "And if it isn't? I'm just supposed to let him die? He's all I got left." Harry said sternly. "Knowing him it is a trap but it's still real. He's luring you there so just be careful." I explained concerned.

"Why do you always talk about you know who as if you know him personally, you grew up with me." Ron asked confused.

"Ronald that's such an insensitive thing to say!" Hermione lectured.

"Because I do know him personally. The day during the tri-wizard tournament, the day Cedric died he restored every repressed memory I have of him."

"Ally.. I'm so sorry.." Hermione said in shock.

"We need to use the flu network." Harry said breaking the silence.

He led us to Umbridge's office and used a charm to unlock the door. We quickly went into her office and closed the door behind us, I locked it just in case. I looked around her office and felt angry. "Can I break her cat plates?" I ask looking around her stuff. "No, we can't let anyone know we were here." Harry whispers. "Alright alright. I was just asking." I put my hands up in surrender.

Harry was about to use the flu network without us but Umbridge got into her office and stopped up. She rounded up some Slytherins and had them hold us down. Crab held Hermione, Goyle held me, and Pansy held Ron. Harry was tied into a chair as Umbridge questioned him. "You were going to see Dumbledore weren't you?" She asked getting in his face and trying to intimidate him.

He looks at her for a second before he answers. "I dunno." He says calmly. Umbridge slapped his face, Hermione gasped as Ron looked at her with rage. I was reminded of the time when she first slapped me in the face. I tried wiggling out of Goyles grasp to get to Umbridge. "You bitch!" I said angrily. Ron and Hermione looked at me surprised. Umbridge looked at me just as shocked. "I beg your pardon?" She asked as she walked up to me.

"I said what I said." I kept wiggling.

"Then perhaps you could answer my question since you clearly have so much to say. Were you going to go see Dumbledore?" She asked me looking into my eyes.

"No, we were actually going to go to our initiation to be a death eater." I rolled my eyes.

"Pity.. since none of you are going to speak-" She started.

Snape walked into her office and interrupted. "You called for me?" He asked. He locked eyes with me for a moment as I mouthed the word, 'help.' He looked back at Umbridge and crossed his arms. "It's time for the truth serum." She demanded. "You used up my supply interrogating students. The last of it was used on Cho." He says plainly.

Snape was about to leave but Harry spoke to him in code. "What on Earth is he talking about Snape?" Umbridge asks frantically as if she knew it was information she needed. Snape looked at Harry and then Umbridge, his eyes wide as he talked with slightly more life in his voice. "No idea." He says before he leaves. Harry looked at us worried I locked eyes with him and mouth, 'he knows.'

Anyone who knows Snape's body language would know that what he did just now was a sign that he knows. Umbridge looks around, takes a deep breath, and lets it out. "Seeing as though we have no truth serum left, we'll have to do this the hard way. The cruciatus curse." She speaks calmly as she flips a photo of the prime Minister on its face.

"That's illegal!" Hermione said shocked.

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him." She speaks simply.

"Well, then you wouldn't mind if I use the killing curse on you." I speak still trying to get out of Goyles grasp.

"Don't test me Riddle." She says before walking over to Harry.

"Weasley." I mumble.

"What was that?" She says looking at me.

"Ally let it go." Hermione says worried.

I look at Hermione and sigh heavily. "Nothing." I say looking at Umbridge. She smiles smugly as she turns back to face Harry. "I thought so." Hearing her say that made my blood boil. I felt so enraged I didn't know if I'd be able to contain it. Is this my breaking point for all the bullshit I've gone through at Hogwarts? Is this when I go crazy? No, I can't go crazy. If I do then I'd prove Umbridge and Voldemort right. And they're not right. They're wrong.

A light lit in Hermiones eyes, she got an idea. Umbridge was about to cast the spell but Hermione shouted. "Tell her where it is already Harry! Just tell her!" Umbridge looked at Hermione with satisfaction. She thought we've finally cracked. "Tell me what?" She asks looking at Harry and then at Hermione. "Dumbledore's secret weapon." She said. Umbridge was now fully satisfied as she demanded us four to show her.

We took her to the forbidden forest and I quickly caught on to her plan. She was going to take her to Hagrid's brother. We lured her deeper and deeper into the forest leading her to where Grawby is. "What are you doing?" Harry whispered. "Improvising." She whispered back. "Maybe we can get the centaurs to take care of her?" I whisper.

"That's not a bad idea." Hermione says.

A smile grew on my face as she approved my idea but I quickly hid my smile just so Umbridge wouldn't see it and catch on to our plan. Once we reached Grawby's tree we saw just his rope, he was gone. Somehow he broke free, how are we going to explain this to Hagrid? We all looked around and at each other, we were confused. We didn't know what to do next.

"There's no secret weapon is there?" Umbridge asks pointing her wand at us.

"I've always hated children." She says.
