"He doesn't answer!" Harry yelled. His last vision was correct, but it could still be a trap... On the other hand, I can't risk my father's life on chances. Also, I'm quite sure that Harry'll go whether I come with or not... might be better if I came with so he has me if it is a trap... Oh damn it!

"Let's go!"
"We have to get the others first. They are waiting in the Room of Requirement." Harry said off handly.
"Others?"
"I'll explain on the way. Come on!"

Just like that, we were off. Harry told me that his friends; Hermione, Ron, Neville, Luna and Ginny were coming with. My first thought was to forbid it. Why involve more people? What if something happens? Then again, what if there are more deatheaters than the two of us can handle? We could use the help...

We don't have the time to discuss it anyway. We have enough problems as it is.

"So, any ideas on how we're getting at the Ministry?" I asked. Most looked stunned. Apparently they had forgotten that you can't do much unless you are at the scene. Only Luna remained dreamy.

"We fly of course!" She spoke airily. I nodded slowly.
"Does everyone here have a broom?" I asked. Ron and Harry nodded while the others didn't. Luna didn't seem to think of this as problematic as she led us to a field of thestrals.

"They won't hurt you. They're really nice. Must be because they aren't affected by the Nargles..."

Soon enough, everyone was in the air.   It took a while but eventually we arrived at the Ministry where it was suspiciously easy to break into the Department of Mysteries. Cautiously, we went through the hallway of Harry's dreams and walked towards the row he saw Dad at.

There's only one problem...

Dad isn't here...

One of the youngsters noticed Harry's name on one of the surrounding orbs and Harry being Harry, imediatly went to pick it up. Stupid boy. The second he lifted it, Deatheaters popped out of the shadows. Lucius tried to convince Harry to give him the orb. Bellatrix was cackling right next to him. From the corner of my eyes I could see Neville pale. It can't be easy to face your parents' tormentor, especially when you see how the Longbottoms ended. Poor couple, dead would have been nicer...

Back to the present, Harry had no intention to give up the orb. He waited for the right moment, then attacked. The rest of us followed his lead. Soon enough, we were running. I tried to keep everyone together, but it's hard to defend youraelf along with six others from who knows how many opponents. I couldn't protect them all so I did the bext best thing.

I called for help.

I conjured a patronus to go towards Dad, then another one towards Dumbledore. They'll be here soon. They have to be.

Time passed and though we were able to put up a decent front, it was draining to use this large an amount of magic. I was bending the elements to protect us, but there's only so much I can do. Neville was hurt. Hermione had also taken a few hits and Ron seemed consumed by worry. Not hard to understand, his little sister is fighting Deatheaters and so are gis best mates. He was more focused on protecting them than himself. Which meant I had to try harder to cover for him. Eventually, we had to face it. Our defences were cracking. It was why the order's timing couldn't have been more perfect.

Members were apparating in at a high speed. Making the battle a bit more fair. Tonks was battling her aunt, Remus was close to her and was shooting spells at Greyback. Dad was helping Harry get the upper hand over Lucius. I snuck in from behind and decided to shed a little light to the party. In other words: Burn baby burn! Lucius's shrieks filled the air as he tried to stop the fire. I laughed at his pathetic display of magic.

"It's elemental fire, uncle. As long as I want you to burn, you'll burn. Have fun, I'll be dancing on your ashes later." I mocked him. Maybe I ought to be concerned about my mental state because I thought it was delightful when I could smell his flesh burning. Oh well, problem for another day...

Meanwhile, dad had moved on to Bellatrix. He was taunting her, laughing and joking as if it was a playfight between the cousins.

"Come on Bella, you can do better than that!" He grinned. Bellatrix apparently could do better as she sent a stunner straight at my Dad. Time seemed to slow down, seconds became minutes which became hours.

The red light hit him right in his  chest and he fell backwards. His body was gliding towards the veil and I felt like screaming. Thank goodness my brain finally kicked in.

"ACCIO DAD!!!" Dad came flying towards me and I guided him to the floor where I renervated him. Thank the stars he woke up.
"You idiot! I thought I lost you! Don't ever do that again!" I demanded. He nodded and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before throwing an arm around Harry who had come running. The Deatheaters started dissaparating, but Bellatrix was still present. She was trying to bring down all the order members singlehandedly. She's dedicated, I'll give her that though it doesn't take away the fact that she's mental.

"Oi Auntie!" I yelled. "No one and I mean no one touches my family. You're so dead!"

I flicked my wrist so her feet sank into the ground and remained there. This way she couldn't run off. Next was a typical Harry thing to do.

"Expelliarmus" her wand flew to my hand where I caught it and immediately broke it. Her face twisted in rage as she took in that her wand was left abandoned on the ground in pieces.

"Now let's play." I grinned darkly as I decided on which spell to use.

"Crusio."
