You smiled as Luna's patronus jumped around the room, "Good job Luna!" You and Harry shared a smile, knowing how hard everyone worked. The room was warm, vibrant, everyone filled with excitement at their newly formed skill. You continued to watch everyone in amazement, it started off as a small shake, barely noticeable. As the shaking continued, everyones conversations slowly died out. You looked around confused, as the chandelier started to vibrate harder. 

It seemed as if all the joy was sucked out of the room, when the first thud echoed through the room. You quickly tried to find Ron and Hermione as the lights flickered. Everyone huddled together, watching as the glass cracked and shattered onto the floor. The air in the room was still, almost agonizingly thick, the anxiety making it hard to breathe. 

Your eyes widened as you watched Harry walk up to the hole in the wall, grabbing Hermione's hand as some sort of grounding. You watched as Harry leaned to look into the cavity, he jumped back quickly running for cover. It all happened so fast, one moment the wall was there, next it had been blown to pieces. Rubble and dust filled the room, as everyone backed away.

Air caught in your throat as the dust settled, as you caught Cho's eyes. There had to be a misunderstanding, there's no way Cho told Professor Umbridge. You looked between Hermione and Ron, their faces showing just as much confusion as yours. The look on Draco's face made you irate, he was smug, enjoying the look of fear and anxiety on your faces. You glared at him, trying to control the shake of your hands from the sudden rush of adrenaline and anger.

Professor Umbridge stood there for a moment, looking over the room of requirements with a self-satisfied look. "Get them!" Professor Umbridge said, voice laced with venom.

"I've been watching them for weeks, and see, "Dumbledore's Army" proof of what I've been telling you from the beginning Cornelius." Professor Umbridge said smugly, handing the Minister the paper with all your names on it. You fight against his grip, as Percy drags you and Harry into Dumbledore's office.

"All your fear-mongering about 'you know who' never fooled us for a minute." Harry pulls against Percy's grip and looks at you anxiously.

Umbridge continues her rant "We saw your lies for what they were- a smoke screen for your bid to seize control of the ministry!" She accuses, causing Cornelius to quickly cast his gaze to Dumbledore.

"Naturally." Dumbledore replies, sounding almost bored.

Harry's eyes widen, and before you can stop him he interrupts their conversation. "No Professor- he had nothing to do with it, it was me!" He sounded almost desperate.

"Most noble of you, Harry, to shield me, but as it's been pointed out, the parchment clearly says "Dumbledore's Army," not Potter's." The room was quiet as he spoke, Harry looked desperately between you and Dumbledore.

"I instructed Harry to form this organization and I, and I alone, am responsible for its activities." Dumbledore looked between you and Harry, looking as calm as he always does. Percy tightened his grip on the back of yours and Harry's collars.

"Dispatch an owl to the Daily Prophet. If we hurry, we should still make the morning edition." Everyone was looking between the Minister and Dumbledore.

"Dawlish, Shacklebolt, you will escort Dumbledore to Azkaban to await trial for conspiracy and sedition." You opened your mouth to argue but before you could, Dumbledore stood up from sitting on his desk.

"Ah, I thought we might hit this little snag." Dumbledore quickly walked behind his desk, "You seem to be laboring under the delusion that I'm going to- What was the phrase? Come quietly." Umbridge and the Minister walked to the front of his desk, looking at him with wide eyes.
