Second chances *ੈ✩‧₊˚ (harry potter x reader)

The Department of Mysteries

Harry, Hermione, and Umbridge all turn to walk out. I'd hoped whatever Hermione was planning was going to work...

The tension in Umbridge's office remained. Ron, Luna, Ginny, Neville, and I were all still being held tightly, though nobody said anything.

I felt Draco's eyes staring a hole into the side of my head but i refused to meet his gaze.

Ginny coughed.

As I peered out the window, I saw the trio that had left minutes ago striding into the Forbidden Forest, which only intensified my feelings of hope for Hermione's plan to work... Whatever it was...

Ginny coughed.

Once they'd disappeared under the canopy, I zoned out staring out the window. Today was supposed to be one of celebration, finally having been done with exams, the weather was quite lovely too.

Ginny coughed.

"Oi, you got chicken pox?" Millicent Bulstrode asked... she was not the sharpest tool in the shed to say the least.

Ginny shook her head, and pointed to her neck, "Just something in my throat."

"Well die quieter," Millicent snapped.

Ginny coughed again, but this time she locked eyes with me. Very subtly, she indicated to something.

"What?" I mouthed once everyone's focus had averted again.

Ginny looked around cautiously and mouthed sternly, "Wand." she moved her eyes to Crabbe behind me, "Wand,"

I followed her line of sight and slowly turned my head. Pretending to look at Neville to my right, I kept my gaze at a more downward angle.

Surely, in the corner of my eye, I see Crabbe's wand in his pocket.

I look back to Ginny and see her mouth slowly, "Do. it."

I bit the inside of my cheek.

"Do. It." Ginny mouthed again.

I took a deep breath, and it happened almost instantaneously. I elbowed Crabbe in the abdomen, causing him to let go his grasp on me, and I grabbed his wand out of his front pocket. As he turned I grabbed my own out of his back pocket.

"Stupefy!" I shouted at the approaching Millicent, who'd had no captive after Hermione left, and had started charging at me. She froze in her tracks and Ron also took the window of opportunity to break free and grab his and Hermione's wand out of Millicent's robe pocket.

I snapped his in half.

Ginny kicked the boy who had been holding her, in the shin, causing him to stumble and allowing her to also retrieve her's and Harry's wands, completely turning the tide of the confrontation.

Chaos erupted as spells flew in every direction, Slytherins abandoning their captives to join the fray.

As I had stunned another Slytherin boy, Neville shouted, "Y/n!" as he pointed behind me.

I turned to see Draco with his wand held at shoulder level. I knew he wouldn't cast anything. I knew... I knew?

At least I didn't have to find out, because Ginny sent a Bat-Bogey spell flying at Draco. I ducked and the spell connected with him. His whole face was started to disfigure as it grew great flapping, things?

"Never even heard of that one," I say to Ginny as Draco stumbled frantically. Neville, with his newfound confidence and improvement, stunned the last Slytherin.

"Excellent," Ginny said heartily, "excellent you lot. Now we've got to—"

"Ronald, your lip," Luna said to Ron, in a tone that suggested she hadn't done so much as break a sweat.
