Born From Madness (Harry Potter Fanfic)

"What are we going to do?" Harry and Jordan ran out from the forest. 

"Well-- we have to get back to the castle," Jordan stated to him. 

"By the time we get to the castle, Sirius could be dead!" Harry shouted at her. 

"So you expect us to fight without wands? That's brilliant thinking, Harry!" Jordan spat at him just as they were making their way over to the bridge, "Besides how exactly do you plan on getting to wherever this Sirius fellow is?" 

"Yeah, we were wondering that?" 

Harry and Jordan paused to see Ron, Neville, Luna, and Ginny rushing towards them. All four of them looked like they had gotten into a fight. 

"So? What's the plan?" Ron asked. 

"How did you escape?" Harry asked. 

"We did a couple of Stunners and a Disarming Charm, Neville did a nice Impediment Jinx." Ron said while he handed Jordan her wand, "But Ginny was best! She got Malfoy! Bat-Bogey Hex, it was superb! His whole face was covered in these flapping things." 

"Oh! I would have loved to see that!" Jordan mumbled under her breath. 

"What have you done with Umbridge?" Ron asked. 

"Jordan actually had walked us into the forest where we ran into a group of wolves, which she actually threw a piece of meat at her face to have the wolves gnaw at her while we escape. We did run into a group of centaurs. It was then Umbridge caught up to us and-- she cast the Cruciatus Curse on her before the centaurs actually dragged her away after she attacked them in the process." Harry explained to them. 

"Harry, what did you find out in the fire? Has You-Know-Who got Sirius or--?" Ron asked him. 

"Yes! I'm sure Sirius is still alive, but I can't see how we're going to get there to help him." Harry admitted. 

"Hang on! How do you know You-Know-Who has Sirius?" Jordan asked him. 

"Because I saw him in a vision... and Kreacher confirmed it when he was vague on his answer of where Sirius is." Harry stated to her. 

"What if this was all apart of his plan? To use you to get away from Hogwarts so you will be vulnerable?" Jordan questioned him. Harry was getting a tad annoyed with Jordan's questioning about everything. 

"I think we should focus more about how we're going to get to the ministry?" Ron asked them. 

"We'll have to fly." Luna said. 

"One problem, Ron's broom is the only one that isn't guarded by a security troll." Harry stated to them. 

"Who said anything about broomsticks?" Luna questioned them. 

"Really, Luna, be serious? How else are we going to fly?" Ron asked her. 

"How about them?" Luna suggested as she pointed behind Harry. Harry spun around to find at numerous thestrals making their way from the Forbidden Forest. 

It seemed almost like a century had pass when the thestrals began descending from the sky. Harry had to grip tightly around his thestral's neck as they began flying closer towards the buildings. Harry watched as the thestrals landed as light as a feather into the alleyway. Just as Harry was climbing off the thestral's back, he could see the others landing just a few feet behind him. 

"Never again," Ron said when he dismounted his. 

"Over here guys," Harry told them as they hurried towards the battered telephone box. It was a bit of a hassle getting everyone inside the tiny box, but it somehow worked. 

"Whoever is nearest to the--" Harry started when he heard the twirling of the dial. 

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic. Please state your name and business." the woman's voice spoke. 

"Harry Potter, Jordan Grimm, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, and Luna Lovegood... and we are here to rescue someone." Harry inform the person. 

"Thank You," She replied as half a dozen badges appeared from the chute, "Visitors, please take the badges and attach them to the front of your robes." 

As they grabbed hold of them, the floor began to descend.
