"Harry. Harry. Hagrid's back," I said as I found he talking with Cho.

"I'm sorry," Harry said as he followed us running out.

"I will say this one last time. I'm ordering you to tell me where you've been," We heard Umbridge say as we slow down.

"I told you. I've been away for me health," Hagrid said as we hide by the window.

"Your health?" Umbridge said.

"Yeah. Bit of fresh air, you know," Hagrid said as I internally facepalmed.

"Oh, yes. As gamekeeper, fresh air must be difficult to come by. If I were you, I shouldn't get too used to being back. In fact, I mightn't bother unpacking at all," Umbridge said before leaving.

"This is top-secret, right? Dumbledore sent me to parley with the giants," Hagrid said as we sat with him.

"Giants? You found them?" Hermione said shocked.

"Well, they're not that hard to find, to be perfectly honest. They're so big, see? I tried to convince them to join the cause. But I wasn't the only one that was trying to win them over," Hagrid said

"Death Eaters," I said with gritted teeth

"Yes," Hagrid said.

"Trying to persuade them to join You-Know-Who," Hagrid said.

"Did they?" Hermione asked.

"I gave them Dumbledore's message. Suppose some of them remember he was friendly to them. I suppose," Hagrid said.

"And they did this to you?" I asked as Hagrid pressed some cold meat to a cut on his face.

"Not exactly, no. Oh, go on, you have it, then, you dozy dog. It's changing out there. Just like last time. There's a storm coming, Harry. We'd all best be ready when she does," Hagrid said.

"We have confirmed that 10 high-security prisoners in the early hours of yesterday evening did escape. And of course, the Muggle prime minister has been alerted to the danger. We strongly suspect that the breakout was engineered by a man with personal experience in escaping from Azkaban notorious mass murderer Sirius Black cousin of escapee Bellatrix Lestrange," I said as I read the paper.

"Dumbledore warned Fudge this could happen. He's gonna get us all killed just because he can't face the truth," Hermione said.

"Harry. I wanted to apologize. Now even me mum says the Prophet's version of things doesn't add up. So, what I'm really trying to say is that I believe you," Seamus said as he gave me a nod.

"Looks like people are warming up to you," Hermione said.

"Shame it took them this long," I said.

"Hey look at me results are results shouldn't matter where they come from," Hermione said.

"Yeah," I said.

"What's wrong," Hermione said noticing my distant demeanour.

"My dad is an Auror so he worked for the ministry now it's not uncommon for him to go dark in the field but he will always contact me one way or another but he hasn't he also did a few jobs for Dumbledore so I want to him to see if he knew anything and after making it clear I wasn't leaving with about info he told me my dad was killed by a pack of death eaters," I said.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry I didn't know," Hermione said.

"Not your fault but I do know that Dumbledore believes that the ones who killed him were behind the Azkaban break out as that is what Dumbledore told him to investigate," I said.

"Did Dumbledore know," Hermione asked,

"No more like he had a hunch and got lucky," I said.

"I'm sorry if you want to be alone for a while I understand just remember that I am here for you just like the boys, your whole life," Hermione said.

"I know," I said lightly resting my head on her shoulder for a change.

I was watching everyone in the room as they all learned to cast the Patronus charm I of course had already learned it so I just observed.

"Make it a powerful memory, the happiest you can remember. Allow it to fill you up. Keep trying, Seamus. George, your turn now," Harry said as he walked around the room.

"Expecto Patronum," George said as his Patronus began to take form.

"A full-bodied Patronus is the most difficult to produce but shield forms can also be equally useful against a variety of opponents," Harry said.

"Wow, that was really good," A girl said as Ginny produced a full-bodied horse.

"Fantastic, Ginny. Just remember, your Patronus can only protect you for as long as you stay focused. So focus, Luna," Harry said.

I walked up to Hermione who I noticed was struggling with her Patronus and I had a good idea of how to help her.

"Need a hand," I said.

"I just can't seem to keep my focus," Hermione said.

"Well tell me why and maybe I can help," I said.

"Okay so as you probably expect most of my happiest memories involve you so I pick one and let it fill me up but as I try to cast the spell I get sidetracked by all my other memories of you, maybe sidetracked is the wrong word more like distracted," Hermione said.

"Hummmm that is one hell of a problem you've got... Okay, here we go," I said before kissing her.

"Focus on that it's a fresh memory," I said.

Hermione then got ready with a huge blush on her face I just smile at her as she did once she had spoken the incantation an otter flew from her wand. 

"Knew you could do it," I said.

"What about you?" Hermione said. 

I smiled at her and took out my wand I found a memory in my head and called out the incantation as a large Tigger burst from my wand. Then the room began to shake and our Patronuses dissipated the room shook a few times and then one of the mirrors began to crack and then smash and Harry went to check.

"I'll make short work of this. Bombarda Maxima," Umbridge said and then blew the wall open.

"Whoa," Nigel yells as the wall was blown open.

"Get them," Umbridge said as Cho was pulled into view looking guilty and sad.
