*Author's Note/ There's gonna be smut, I'll let you know when you can skip it.

A week later after they've gotten back to school, Hermione reached Harry and Evelyn and told them that Hagrid was back. They all went running towards his place only to hear Dolores Umbridge was inside.

They hide behind the windows, trying to hear their conversation. She was telling him that he should not unpack because he most likely would just be sent away almost immedately.

They hated her, now more than ever before. But they knew they couldn't do anything but stay put.

Once she was out they went inside and hugged Hagrid. He was happy to see them but also a bit scared that Umbridge might come back.

"This is top secret." Hagrid told them four, "Dumbledore sent me to parlay with the giants."

"Giants?!" Hermione asked, also feeling a bit scared. Evelyn hadn't said anything because all she could think about was that he looked exactly like her parents and Mr. Weasley. What is Dumbledore doing this for? Does he want no one to be alive when the battle with Voldemort truly begins?

"They were 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 to win them over." He explained.

"Death eaters?" Ron asked but it was more like a statement as he looked over at Evelyn. All of them knowing full well that she was still stressed out about her parents going on this missions.

"Yes, trying to persuade them to join you-know-who."

"And did they?" Harry asked, as he squeezed Evelyn's hand since she hasn't stopped looking at her legs, avoiding Hagrid's gaze. Each time she looked at him it reminded her of her parents and that they were in danger.

She was sure that was not going to be the last 'mission' they would have to go to.

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

"And they did this to you?" Harry asked.

"Not exactly, no." They knew who did it, although Hagrid didn't want to say it.

"Something is changing out there. Just like last time. There's a storm coming Harry. We'd all best be ready when she does."

A week later, there was the news that Bellatrix Lestrange had escaped from Askaban and the prophet was saying that it was Siruis' Black fault.

"This is bullshit. Why can't they leave him alone?" Harry said as they were going down to get some lunch. It was packed and everyone had the Daily Prophet, reading it.

"He's going to get us all killed." Hermione said but before they could all sit down on the Gryffindor's table, Seamus stopped them.

"Harry. I wanted to apologize... even my mom knows that they are lying in the Daily Prophet and that you-know-who is really back." He said and it took everyone by surprise but Harry was grateful.

For the next weeks, they kept on with Dumbledore's Army practices and Hermione could tell that someone else had their eye on Harry.

"I would be careful Eve." Hermione told her one day they were getting out from the room room of Requirement. Just then, she looked behind her and saw that Cho Chang had stopped Harry and they started talking about who knows what. "She's been eyeing Harry all classes. She has made it pretty obvious like she likes him."
