"How do you know for sure?" Hermione shouts as we quickly walk up the moving stairs.
Harry, who had the same vision of Sirius that I did, says, "It was the same as the one with Mr. Weasley! In the same place too!"
"Then we should tell—" Jordyn starts before I stop her.
"I'm not wasting time, Jordyn," I say sternly, turning around to face her and the others. "We're doing this ourselves."
"Well, how are we going to—" Grayson starts.
I start laughing, "I'm sorry, did I say we?"
"You guys have done enough, really—" Harry says.
"No," Louis says firmly. "You guys aren't going to Voldemort alone."
"He'll kill you," Jordyn says, her gaze locked on mine.
"So what?" I say after a moment of silence.
"So what—" Louis starts to repeat me, seeming exasperated.
"Makayla, enough!" Jordyn shouts. "I can't let you get killed hwen I've come so far just keeping you alive! Stop acting like you're something you're not!"
I knew it. This year, I've been reckless and somehow stayed alive. She's been protecting me this whole time. Of course she was. Why wouldn't she be? She has access to Voldemort, so I guess it's easy, but I don't need protection. I didn't ask to be a deatheater. She did though.
I roll my eyes and continue walking up the stairs, saying, "We'll use the Fleu Network."
"But all the fireplaces are guarded!" Hermione says as her and the rest of teh group follows me.
"Not all of them!"
We rush into Umbridge's office after magically unlocking the door. Harry and I kneel down in front of her fireplace, the flames turning green.
"We'll go through and you all stay back and keep watch," Harry says.
"No way!" Nevill shouts.
"Guys, we're in this together," Grayson says, making Louis roll his eyes.
"Seriously, y'all have done everything you need to, but—"
"Let us come or I'll tell everyone in this room what you don't want them to know," Jordyn interrupts me, her tone firm.
"Are you kidding me Jordyn?" I shout.
"You can't be in charge of everything!" she shouts back.
"Oh, and because your father is trying to kill my uncle, you can be?" I shout, not even taking a moment to think before I say something.
There is only silence. Tears in her eyes. I messed up, I know, but Tom Riddle ruined my life.
"We're in this together..." Grayson murmurs awkwardly.
"That you are!" Umbridge shouts.
Oh you've got to be kidding—
"Mr. Granger, would you like to tell me why you offered to help with stopping illicit activities around the school when you're doing the opposite in the current moment?" she asks.
He's going to lie. I know it.
"I wanted to catch them all by pretending to be one of them, Professor," he says.
When I check his conscience, everything he's saying is true. This is my boyfriend. Good grief, what have I done to myself?
"You did what?" I ask, my tone scathing.
"He lied," Louis confirms. "What else is new?"
