"Been watching them for weeks. And see, Dumbledore's Army, proof of what I've been telling you right from the beginning, Cornelius." Dolores says talking to Fudge with Harry and Y/N being pulled behind by Percy as they all barge into dumbledore's office, the headmaster giving a stoic expression.

"You think this time we might be expelled," Harry says

"I wouldn't be surprised that's for sure" Y/N whispers and they watch as Fudge and Umbridge confront the headmaster.

"All your fear-mongering about You-Know-Who never fooled us for a minute." Umbridge continues "We saw your lies for what they were: A smokescreen for your bid to seize control of the Ministry."

"Naturally," Dumbledore says calmly earning a confused look from the two teenagers

"No, professor. He had nothing to do with it. It was me." Harry says

"No, it was us" Y/N clarifies "we started this, not the headmaster"

"Most noble of you Harry and Y/N to shield me," Dumbledore says "but as has been pointed out, the parchment clearly says Dumbledore's Army, not Potter's or Black's."

"But sir-"

"Y/N" Dumbledore replies in a tone telling her to stop and she does. The headmaster then turns back to Fudge "I instructed Harry and Y/N to form this organisation. And I, and I alone, am responsible for its activities."

"Dispatch an owl to the Daily Prophet. If we hurry, we should still make the morning edition." Fudge says to Percy "Dawlish, Shacklebolt, you will escort Dumbledore to Azkaban, to await trial for conspiracy and sedition."

"I thought we might hit this little snag." Dumbledore says as the two wizards move closer to the headmaster "You seem to be labouring under the delusion that I'm going to, what was the phrase? Come quietly. Well, I can tell you this: I have no intention of going to Azkaban."

"Enough of this." Umbridge spits "Take him."

The Headmaster winks at Harry and Y/N and suddenly, Fawkes sores from where he was perching up to Dumbledore and in a fiery burst of light the two disappear leaving everyone in shock. Fudge, Umbridge and the other wizards close by, were pushed back by the blast and look around trying to find any trace of the headmaster.

"Well, you may not like him, minister," Kinsley says "but you can't deny. Dumbledore has got style."

----------------------------------------------------------

Y/N and Harry walk out of Dumbledore's office with their heads down. They have two months of detention and so does the rest of the DA. But one thing remains unanswered, who was the one that told Umbridge?

Y/N and Harry meet their friends all waiting in the corridor to hear the news. Harry sighs and Y/N remains silent as she goes to Hermione's side.

"We have two months' worth of detention with Umbridge," Harry says and the group sigh

"I guess we should've expected it" Jorden says

"But who's the one that told Umbridge," Flo says and at that moment Y/N looks up to see Draco standing in the hallway, his expression emotionless. A wave of anger comes over Y/N and she makes her way over to Draco.

"Y/N don't," Cal says but she ignores him as she looks at the scared expression in Draco's eyes as he sprints down the hallway and Y/N follows.

She chases him and finally catches up and pins him up against the castle walls. She doesn't notice that the pearl ring starts to glow a fiery red.

"Get off me you prick" Draco spits and Y/N pushes him harder against the stone walls

"It was you wasn't it," Y/N says "you ratted us out to Umbridge"

"No, I didn't are you crazy," Draco says and grabs hold of Y/N's shirt to push her off "get the fuck off"

"Don't lie to me, your the only other person that knows about the DA that wasn't in the club?" Y/N snaps and this time her friends have just rounded the corner. "You're a fucking snake you know that. I fucking hate you!"

"You just can't face the facts that you are wrong!" Draco spits "You love being fucking right all the time but guess what, you're full of shit, even your girlfriend can see it"

"Shut the fuck up! You know nothing about me now admit it, tell that me the truth" Y/N yells

"I did you fucking psycho now get the fuck off me" Draco yells but Y/N holds steady. She can feel the burning sensation on her hand and she has no doubt that Draco can feel it too.

"Y/N what this about," Jorden says

"It was Draco who told Umbridge," Y/N says

"I told you it wasn't me now get off" Draco says and finally pushes back causing Y/N to let go of him however she reached for her wand and so did Draco. The two cousins grab each other's shirts and and Y/N holds the tip of her wand up to Draco's head and the Slytherin boy does the same to the Ravenclaw. The tip of Y/N's wand starts to glow a sickly green colour that could only mean one thing. Draco looks at Y/N's wand and back up at her with a scared look on his face.

"Do it Y/N you know the spell" A voice whispers in Y/N's head

"Y/N" Draco says in a quiet whisper, his eyes pleading

The stinging pain is immediate in Y/N's hand as her blood pact ring glows red and silvery metal strands constrict around her wrist and move further up her body. The same thing happens to Draco however not to her extent.

"Y/N what is that," Flo asks "on your arm"

The Ravenclaw girl doesn't reply as she lets go of Draco's shirt and falls to her knees with her wand still pointing at her cousin. She couldn't stop the rage inside of her and the metal strands tightened and dug into her skin and a small trail of blood fell down her arm.

Draco has fallen to the ground in just as much pain as Y/N with the silver stands tightening around his arm. He starts muttering words to himself and suddenly, the strands disappear on his arm and he finally gets up to see Y/N pointing the wand at him in complete pain "Y/N you need to stop" he says

"Now's your chance Y/N" Voldemort's voice whispers in her mind "Do it, show him how you really feel"

Y/N falls to the ground and her friends just stare at her in shock, not knowing what is happening or what to do. The Ravenclaw looks up at Draco "I- I can't" she says

"Y/N you have to try, please" Draco pleads and the tip of the wand fades from his green glow to nothing as Y/N tries to control her breathing. The sleeve of her white shirt had splotches of red, blood stained onto the fabric as the silver strands start to return back to the centre of the ring and it shifts back to its normal colour.

Y/N friends both stare at the two cousins in shock and a mix of disbelief. What had they just witnessed? Hermione rushes to Y/N's side inspecting her bleeding arm only to find smooth skin and faint lines where the silver strands once were. "Y/N are you alright"

Y/N just nods and stares at Draco who had risen to his feet a little shakily "I wasn't me. If you want answers to talk to Cho" he says and quickly walks away from the group.

Y/N slowly rises to her feet and stares back at her friends to find their confused faces staring back at her. Flo looks furious and so does Callan but the others stare at her in shock.

"You need to talk" Flo says sternly and Y/N nods and they make it back to the Ravenclaw common room.
