I looked at the Daily Prophet, There was a break out at Azkaban. A bunch of Death Eaters escaped. Including, Bellatrix Lestrange. I hated her so much. I looked over at Neville, who looked shocked and slightly scared. "I'll be back," I said to May, Fred, and George and went over to Neville. "Hey, Nev."
Neville looked up at me, "H-hey Ember."
"You okay? With you know..." I motioned to the daily Prophet. I knew what happened to his parents. I knew that Bellatrix tortured his parents until they lost all memories.
"I-I'm fine," Neville said.
"It'll be okay, Neville. With Dumbledore around, she or the others won't get to you. I won't let them."
"Thanks, Ember." Neville gave me a small smile.
I smiled back and gave him a hug. "I promise." I ruffled his hair and went back to May.
"Hey, Harry." I heard Seamus call out. Everyone's attention went on them, "I umm.. I wanted to apologize. Now even my mum says the Prophet's version of things don't add up. So, what I'm really trying to say is that I believe you."
Harry nodded, "Thanks Seamus." Harry, Ron, and Mione went over and sat down with us.
" looks like Seamus finally came to his senses." May said.
I folded up my copy of the prophet. "I can't believe they're blaming Sirius for this. So what he escaped from Azkaban. We all know it was Voldemort, it had to be. Fudge can't go around blaming Sirius for everything!"
"We need to be more careful." George said, "Umbridge is getting closer to figuring it all out."
"We can always obliviate her," I suggested. "Or tie her up and throw her into the forbidden forest. I personally like the second one."
"Ember, this is serious," Mione scolded.
"Why so Sirius?" I joked. Mione shot me a dangerous look. "Just trying to diffuse the tension."
"Make it a powerful memory, the happiest you can remember." Harry said.
"Let it fill you up, and say. Expecto Patronum!" I thought of Draco and Harmony. Being with Sirius, Remus, George, Harry, Mione, May, everyone. My Phoenix shot out of my wand and soars around the room. Everyone stared in awe. I still couldn't believe my patronus is a Phoenix. I slowly let it fade and smiled at everyone. "Go on. Try it!" I walked over to Fred, George, and May. "Well. Go on."
"Expecto Patronum." George exclaimed and a coyote appears.
I smiled, "awesome. Fred?"
"Expecto partonum." A Hyena appeared and started to chase George's patronus.
"May?"
May looked at her wand and flicks it. "Expecto Patronum." An adorable dolphin appeared and swam in the air.
"Yay!" I clapped my hands and laughed.
"A dolphin..." May said slowly.
"Oh come on May. Dolphins are cool! They are lovable and smart." I winked, "A full body patronus is the most difficult to produce." I said out loud for everyone to hear.
"But shield forms can also be equally useful against a variety of opponents," Harry continued. "Fantastic, Ginny!" Harry exclaimed as Ginny's patronus, a horse, appeared.
"Remember, your Patronus can only protect you for as long as you stay focused." I said as I walked around the room. "You guys are doing great!"
"This is really advanced stuff, guys. You're all doing so well!" Harry exclaimed.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise. The room shook, the lights flickered. Harry and Nigel went up to the front of the room. I walked over and the mirror on the wall boke and fell off. I saw a hole in the wall and looked through it, and saw Umbridge. Shit. "I'll make short work of this." Umbridge held her wand up, Harry grabbed Nigel and I and Pulled us back. Good thing too, the wall exploded. I looked over and saw Umbridge with her little 'extra credit squad' people things. I saw Draco pulling Cho into view. That little bitch!! She turned us in!!! Draco looked at me in shocked, I never told him I was part of this. I couldn't tell him. Not that I didn't trusthim, of course I did. But everyone made me swear not to tell anyone. "Get them." Umbridge commanded. Everyone ran out of the room, I saw someone grab Harry. Someone else grabbed me before I could go. It was Crabbe. Damn it Crabbe!
"See! I've been watching the, for weeks!" Umbridge exclaimed. She had taken Harry, Cho and I to Dumbledore's office. Where Fudge, Kingsley, Percy and some other guy was. Percy was holding Harry and I still! What the Hell Perce? I thought we were friends! "And see! Dumbledore's Army! Proof of what I' e been telling you right from the beginning, Cornelius. All your fear mongering about you know who never fooled us for a minute. We saw your lies for what they were," I glanced over at Cho and glared at her. This is all her fault!!! "A smokescreen for your bid to seize control of the ministry!"
"Naturally," Dumbledore said. What the heck Albus Dumbledore!
"No, professor. He had nothing to do with it. It was me!" Harry exclaimed.
"And Me. It was us, not Dumbledore!" I helped Harry defend Dumbledore.
"Most noble of you two to shield me, but as has been pointed out, the parchment clearly says Dumbledore's Army, not Potter's, nor Bolton's." What are you doing?!?! "I instructed both Harry and November to form this organization. And I, and I alone, am responsible for its activities."
"Dispatch an owl to the Daily Prophet." Fudge said, "If we hurry, we should still make the morning edition. Dawlish, Shacklebot, you will ascort Dumbledore to Azkaban."WHAT!? "To await trial for conspiracy and sedition."
"Ah, I thought we might hit this little snag." Dumbledore stood up and walked behind his desk. "You seem to be laboring under the delusion that I'm going to-- What was the phrase? Come quietly. Well, I can tell you this. I have no intention of going to Azkaban."
"Enough of this." Umbridge hissed. "Take him!!"
Dumbledore looked at Harry and I. Fawks flies up and Dumbledore clapped his hands over his head. Then, he was gone. I've got to get him to teach me that. "You may not like him, minister. But you can't deny, Dumbledore's got style.
