Operation Fireworks

The following day Bailee got up and got ready for her last OWL which was Ancient Runes. She walked into the depressing classroom and sat down at her desk. She felt like banging her head against the desk until she passed out. Well she kinda got her wish. She began the exam and started reading the questions. Just then she felt a searing in her scar. She inhaled sharply and clenched her fist. She was suddenly aware of the clocks ticking and the sound of pencils scraping against paper. Her scar burned again and the next thing she knew she was back in the room with orbs. Someone was tied to a chair screaming. She ran to the person and saw that it was Sirius. Bailee was about to help him when she saw Voldemort standing opposite of her.
"Crucio!" he cried.
Sirius yelled again. Bailee looked around frantically for something that she could help with, but she had nothing, not even her wand. The room started slipping away. Then she was laying flat on the floor with about a dozen worried faces looking in at her. She stood up quickly. Too quickly.
"Ms. Potter, do you need to go to the Hospital Wing?" The Professor asked.
"Ummm"... Bailee looked around and suddenly felt very self conscious. "Yeah... I think I should." she grabbed her bag and rushed out of the classroom.
The corridors seemed to be closing in on her. She felt dizzy again. She turned the corner and nearly crashed into Ron.
"Bailee!"
"Ron!... we need to find Hermione."
Ron and Bailee hurried through the corridors until they spotted Hermione.
"Ok, what's going on Bailee?" they both said in unison.
Bailee explained to them the vision she just had of Sirius and Voldemort. After she was done explaining they both had stunned looks on their faces.
"I don't even know if it was real... but it doesn't matter we have to go just in case." Bailee said.
"Ok, ok but we need a plan we can't exactly just waltz out of the school" Hermione said.
"Yeah I know." Bailee said looking around the hall.
"We need to contact someone to make sure Sirius has been taken." Ron said "we have to know for sure we can just go to the department of mysteries for no reason."
"Ok... then we need a fireplace so we can contact Sirius. We have to use Umbridge's fireplace, it's the only way." Bailee said.
"How the bloody hell are we gonna get in there?" Ron asked.
"We need a diversion." Bailee said "We need two red headed twins who have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

The plan was set and Bailee, Hermionie and Ron were walking back through the corridors to Umbridge's office. Ginny and Neville were stationed outside her office in case she came back, and Fred and George were getting ready to pull the biggest prank they had ever planned.
Bailee walked up to both of them.
"You sure you guys got this? I know it's a lot of pressure and I asked you really last minute."Bailee asked
"Don't worry a bit Bailee," said George. "We've been waiting to pull this one for a while now." Said Fred
"Ok..." Bailee said nervously.
"Bailee... I won't be seeing you again for a while so you take care of yourself ok?" Fred asked.
"Don't worry about me." Bailee said "after all I am the chosen one." She teased.
Fred smiled and hugged her.
"Be safe!" George called.
"Ha ha yeah right." Bailee called back.
Ok... it was time.
Fred and George walked down the hallway until they saw Umbridge. Bailee saw them tell her something and she hurried off following them.
Bailee, Ron and Hermione hurried down the opposite hallway to Umbridge's office. Once there Bailee took out the knife Sirius gave her that could unlock any lock. She placed it in the lock and the door swung open. She hurried over to the fireplace and took a handful of floo powder.
"On three." Bailee said.
"One" Hermione said.
"Two" Ron said.
"Three!" Bailee said as she threw the floo powder into the fire and stuck her head into the licking green flames.
"Grimmauld place!" She yelled.
Her head spun and suddenly she was staring into the kitchen at Grimmauld place.
"Hello?" She called.
No one answered.
"Helooooo!?" She called again with still no reply.
Suddenly kreature appeared.
"Oh thank god" She said.
"Kreature have you seen Sirius anywhere?" She asked desperately.
"No", Kreature said kindly. "Master went out an hour ago. I do not know where he has gone." He said.
"Did he say anything before he left?" Bailee asked.
But before he could respond Bailee felt herself being pulled back out of the fire. The kitchen slipped away and then she was staring up at the ugly face of professor Umbridge.
"And where do you think you're going?" She asked, a smile creeping up her face. Umbridge grabbed Bailee by the hem of her robes and thrust her into the nearest chair. Still standing, Umbridge had her wand pointed at Bailee. Bailee looked around the room. Hermione was being tightly held by a sixth year girl as was Ron with a sixth year boy. Crabbe was holding Neville so tightly Bailee thought he might choke him to death. Ginny was being held by Pavarti who looked murderous. Then she saw Draco standing closest to her looking worried. He was clutching Bailee's wand looking straight at her. Bailee turned back to look at Umbridge who still had an Ugly smile etched across her face.
"You were trying to contact Dumbledore weren't you?" She said, staring at Bailee.
"No... "
Bailee felt a hot swift pain in her jaw. She heard Ron yell something and the others gasp. She felt blood seeping through a cut on her lip. Bailee glared at Umbridge who was looking back at her. Crabbe stood next to her looking at his fist.
"Don't lie to me." Umbridge said "I thought I already taught you well enough." she said as she grabbed Bailee's hand revealing the nasty cuts spelling I must not tell lies. Bailee winced and looked at Draco. She never told him about her evening detentions with Umbridge. He looked shocked and even more worried. She looked back to glare at Umbridge.
Just then the door to her office opened and Snape walked in. 'Great, just the person I need right now,' Bailee thought.'
"Good Snape!" Umbridge shouted happily. "Did you bring the Veritaserum?" She asked.
"I'm afraid not, It appears you used the last of it to interrogate students." He said. Looking around the room he made eye contact with Bailee. Just then it hit her... he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix. She tried to concentrate her thoughts to allow him to see Sirius and Voldemort. If he did see her thoughts he showed no emotion of it. He turned to leave. 'He's our last hope of saving Sirius' Bailee thought.
"He's got Padfoot!" She yelled. "He's got Padfoot in the place where it's hidden." She yelled again. She silently prayed he would know what she meant.
"Who's Padfoot? Where's what hidden!?" Umbridge shrieked.
There was silence as Snape stared at Bailee.
"No Idea." he stated plainly.
Umbridge turned back round to face Bailee and pulled out her wand.
"Well alright then... If you won't tell the truth then I have no other choice... The cruciatus curse ought to loosen your tongue."
"That's illegal," Hermionie said.
"What Cornellius doesn't know, won't hurt him." Umbridge said as she placed the picture of the prime minister face down on her desk.
Umbridge pointed her wand at Bailee, moving it around as if trying to find the place where it would hurt the most. She stopped at the middle of Bailee's chest. Bailee saw a look she had never seen before in Umbridge's face. She looked insane and murderous. Bailee braced herself for the pain. Remembering what it was like In the graveyard with Voldemort and his death eaters. She remembered how badly it hurt, how she could feel every nerve in her body stinging and aching and burning and how she thought she was going to die. That's when the PTSD kicked in. She relieved it, every moment. She heard Umbridge in the distance shout Crucio. But she hardly felt it. It was like a low annoying ache that penetrated her. But her mind was back in the Graveyard. Watching Cedric die over and over again. Feeling Voldemort Cut through her skin in the moonlight. She could smell the wet grass when she fell from the statue where she was bound and she saw Voldemort raise his wand and she felt the pain of the cruciatus curse that hit her like a bullet. That's when she screamed.
Draco watched as Umridge pointed her wand at Bailee and yelled Crucio. But there was nothing he could do. He expected Bailee to scream in pain but when it happened she barely moved. She just shook slightly with her eyes screwed shut. He saw tears fall down her cheeks but she still did not scream. Umbridge screamed in frustration and tried again. Draco looked closer at Bailee and realized what was happening. She was having a PTSD flashback. He looked around and everyone looked stunned. Shocked by the fact she didn't scream or yell, she only sat there silently with tears in her eyes. Umbridge screamed the spell again. After a few moments of silence. Bailee opened her eyes, Black and swirling emerald green and screamed.
She woke up and then she felt the pain. She closed her eyes again and more tears spilled from her eyes. She was shaking so badly. No matter how bad it hurt she would never tell Umbridge about their plan.
"STOP! You're killing her!" Hermione cried
Umbridge remained silent as beads of sweat dripped down her face.
Bailee screamed again feeling every nerve penetrated with lightning. She could hear distance shouts from Ron, Neville and the others but the world was slipping from her grasp. She felt the curse stop and heard the distant sound of booming in the air. She fell sideways but someone caught her head. She felt arms scoop her up and carry her out of the room.
'Was she dead?' She thought. Were they carrying away her dead body to be buried and forgotten? She felt cool air hit her face and bring her slightly to her senses. She looked up at the sky and saw color everywhere. Booms and flashes of light echoed off the atmosphere.
'Yup she was dead' Bailee thought.
Then darkness fell over her half opened eyes. And she saw trees overhead. Pine mixed with strawberries filled her nose. Then she blacked out.
