Hestia stared down Umbridge. Her eyes burning with a fire the Gryffindor didn't know she had. Her loyalty was strong, and she would protect her friends. It didn't matter what happened to her.

"Where are they meeting?" The horrible pink toad asked. Hestia just shook her head, she wouldn't give her friends up like that.

Especially not when her crush was a part of it.

Umbridge suddenly got a sickly sweet smile on her face. The fake looking smirk shook Hestia to her core.

"Bring her in boys!" Professor Umbridge called out to someone in the hall, outside the horrible pink office filled with cat pictures.

Hestia turned around when the door was opened. Her eyes widened, her heart started to hurt.

In Draco Malfoy's arms, was her sister Demeter. Hestia tried to stand strong, but the terrified look on her sister's face. It broke her in that moment. Her resolve wavered.

Her sister had escaped punishment by Umbridge so far, and Hestia planned to keep it that way. "In the Room of Requirements" Hestia mumbled in the smallest voice.

Umbridge who had been looking at the situation with glee, smirked, "Show me where it is!" She yelled, "Or else I'll have to punish your little sister."

Hestia nodded slowly, her face void of all emotions. No one would forgive her, and she knew that. Despite that, she would do anything to protect her sister.

As Hestia walked down the hall, Umbridge having left her sister in the office with Crabbe and Goyle, she was held tightly by Draco Malfoy.

She caught sad looks at her every now and again. Hestia knew Draco didn't want to do this. Hestia just pointed at a wall, and waited.

Little did she know, no one would even let her explain after that moment.
