CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

    Hermione was scared.

     It was finally the end of exam week, and she couldn't have been more relieved. Sure, they would still have to wait until they would get their results, but at least the hard part was over...right? 

     Wrong, everything seemed to be fine until Harry almost fainted, and then claimed to have a vision of Sirius Black being held hostage by Voldemort.

    "Guys you have to believe me," breathed Harry, turning to Ron. "Remember my vision about your dad? It's exactly the same thing! We have to go--"

   "Harry, please," interrupted Hermione, who had a bad feeling about this. "Think rationally, this might be a fake vision."  

   "Fake? How would it be fake--"

    "Think about it," She began. "V-Voldemort might know that him and you have some type of mind connection, and he might be using this as a trick."

    "We can't think like that!" Harry exclaimed. "What if we thought like that before, and Ron's dad died?" 

     "He might not have known that there was a link between you too."

     "So how would he know now?"

      "Because of what happened with my dad, Harry!" said Ron.

       Harry looked at the two, frustrated. "Why don't you guys believe me? Do you think I'm lying for attention?"

       Hermione frowned, "Harry, when have we ever thought that this year? We've been believing you because we know you don't want any attention."

      "Then why aren't you listening?"

      "Because as Hermione said, it might be a trap!" Ron exclaimed.

      "You don't understand!" Harry exclaimed, clearly stressed and frustrated with his friends. "He's...he's all I have left you guys...S-Sirius--"

       "You still have us," Hermione reminded him. "I understand your worry but please, take a moment to calm down and think rationally--"

       "Oh yeah, and what is that going to do? If we did that last time, then Ron's dad would have died."

       Hermione and Ron were silent. Harry rushed forward, causing the two to follow their friend.

      "Hey, where are you going!" Exclaimed Ron. "Wait!"

       "I'm going to save my family," Harry stated darkly. "I can't let anything happen to him."

        ---        

  Hermione was currently freaking out in Umbridge's office.

  They had decided to sneak into her office, and use the Professor's fireplace to check Sirius' location. After Kreacher, the Black family's house elf, confirmed that Sirius wasn't at the house, they were planning to leave. 

   Also, Hermione refused to accept that she was their current Headmistress, so Hermione just didn't refer to Umbridge as such.

   Anyways, they had finished looking into the fireplace and were ready to devise a plan to leave the castle and get to the Ministry.

   However, Umbridge just had to show up at that moment. 

  Now, Harry was stuck in her chair, while getting screamed at by the Professor, and the rest of the Gryffindors (and Luna) were being held captive by Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad. Hermione was surprised, and secretly relived to see that Lestrange wasn't there with them.
