"So you're saying this weapon You-Know-Who's after is in the Department of Mysteries?" Ron asked, huddled around a table in the library.

"It's got to be." Harry said.

"That's got to be Surgis Podmore was doing in the Ministry when he was arrested." Hermione said.

"Probably. Mr. Weasley was probably there when he was attacked, too. That must be what the Order's guarding!" Harry said.

"But why the Department of Mysteries?" Ron questioned, getting weird looks from Harry and Hermione when his words were slurring slightly. But they quickly moved on, not questioning him at all, except Harper who knows what is in his mouth.

"It makes perfect sense, Ron. It's got to be something the Ministry's been developing. Something top secret." Hermione said.

Harry nods in agreement.

Hermione picks up a copy of the Daily Prophet grimly. "Look at this. There's been a mass escape from Azkaban."

"Bloody hell!" Ron exclaimed, quieting down Madam Pince shushed him.

Harry stares at the front page picture of ten witches and wizards. "They're all Death Eaters!"

Hermione nods fearfully. "Yes."

Harry grits his teeth. "Voldemort."

Harry, Ron, Harper and Hermione sit at the Gryffindor table eating breakfast.

An owl drops a letter on Harry's plate. Hermione opens it and pulls out a copy of the Quibbler.

Harry's smiling face grins at them from the front cover.

"Look, Harry! It's your article!" Hermione said.

Then, a dozen more owls drop letters on Harry, who covers his head as the letters rain around him. "What on earth?"

Hermione beams at him while Harper is holding back a laugh.

"Fan mail, Harry! Responses to the article." Hermione said.

"Which article is that, dear?" Umbridge said, appearing at their table, smiling like a toad.

"I have just published an article telling the real story about what happened last June." Harry answered.

Umbridge instantly turns an ugly shade of purple in her rage. "Where is this article?"

Hermione hands her the Quibbler.

"Right, I will confiscate this. Anyone found in possession of this magazine will be expelled." Umbridge said, walking off.

Hermione giggles in triumph.

"What?" Harry questioned, wondering what got her so giggly.

"She's done it to herself. Banning the article will only make people want to read it more!" Hermione said.

Harper stands before his Packs again, at night. "We've been doing well so far, I thought we'd work on some defensive blocking spells tonight." He said, looking at Ron who was muttering the spell for the Animagus.

Harper turns to everyone and smiles at them. "Just like before, everyone, pair up." He said and walked towards Ron who finished muttering the spell. "Neville's waiting for you." He said, making himself known to Ron who turned around to look at him.

Ron looks at Neville and sees Marcus with him, when the Slytherin becomes one of the Packs he didn't know, he just hopes Marcus doesn't say anything to his house mates.

"He won't say anything." Harper said, pulling Ron out of his thought. "Marcus loves Neville too much for that." He said, looking back at Neville and Marcus who seem to be having fun with themselves before turning back to look at Ron.

"What animal do you think I'll be?" Ron asked, crossing his arms over his chest while facing the brunette.

"What animal do you want to be?" Harper asked, Ron raising an eyebrow in question, but Harper finished his sentence before Ron could answer. "If you could choose, what would they be?"

"I was thinking of matching you. A wolf." Ron said, tilting his head thoughtfully.

"Why? So, you want to breed me?" Harper joked, but Ron still blushed from the statement. "Have little Ron, or Harper, running around."

"Stop it." Ron said, face flushing red, pushing his hand onto Harper's face who let out a laugh. "It's too young to be having children." He said, taking his hand off of Harper's face.

"You're saying you want one?" Harper asked.

"One day, yeah." Ron said, shrugging. "But not now, it's too dangerous."

Harper nodded in agreement, turning his attention away to the First Year who was slowly approaching him. He smiles and crouches down to his height. "Hey, what can I help you with?" He asked softly, letting the First Year approach him.

"I don't understand this one." The First Year said.

Harper was about to respond when a crack was heard from his ear, standing up and looking through the room and seeing Dobby talking with Harry. He softly pushed the First Year towards the other and walked towards Harry with Ron behind him.

"Dobby, what's wrong?" Harper asked, looking at Dobby with concern who shakes his head, terrified of something. "Is it Umbridge?"

Dobby nods.

Harry, Ron, and Harper share a look. Harper muttered something into Ron's ear who nodded and ran towards the others who quickly left the room.

"She knows, Harry Potter. She's coming!" Dobby said.

Harper quickly takes Harry's hand, not without telling Dobby to leave, and dragged him out of the room. He stops when Harry is hit in the back by a spell, looking at Draco who moves out from behind a statue.

Harper lets out a growl at Draco who backs away in fear as Harper helped Harry up from the floor.

"Over here, Professor! I've got two!" Draco shouted from behind him.

Umbridge hurries over, looking at Harry and Harper with a smirk, but her smirk faded when Harper's eyes lit up red. "It's them. Well done, Draco! We're going to see the Headmaster!" She turns to Draco. "Search everywhere for the others, Draco. Round them all up. Check everywhere, bathrooms, the library, empty classrooms. We must find them!"

Draco nodded and hurries off.
