SIRIUS!'

Harry woke up screaming, the wolf's enhanced hearing woke her up with a start. Lav had been cuddling her intensely and was roused at the startled woman in her arms.

'What is it 'mione?'

' I think I heard Harry screaming...I...I need to go make sure he's ok. Wake the other members of DA, will you?'

'Of course, we will meet you in the common room soon.' Lavender replied

Quickly muttering a dressing spell she was dressed in muggle clothing and broke into Harry's dorm room to find him screaming in his sleep sweating. His dorm mates surrounding him concerned

'Harry!' Hermione screamed shaking the prone boy , 'Harry wake up!'

He finally woke up with a start, 'he took him! Voldemort took him!'

'Took who Harry?'

'My godfather, he has Sirius, we have to go help him! He's the only family I have left.'

'Do you think maybe it could be a trap mate?' Neville asked gently

'Probably, But what choice do I have? He's my family.' Harry replied helplessly

'You know we are with you Harry, to the end brother.' Hermione swore solemnly. 'Come get dressed we will meet the lot of you in the common room. Lav is gathering the DA for us there.'

Harry numbly nodded as Hermione left them to get ready.

Harry met the assembled group and quickly went over the dream and explained those who didn't know of mental link between him and the Dark Lord. They had been shaken at the news at first, but learning to trust it after he had saved Arthur Weasley the week prior with a dream vision of him being attached.

They knew the only fireplace linked with the floo network was in the chiffon toad's office. Half of the group would create a diversion so the other half could get to the Ministry of Magic.

Everything was going to plan until the group ran into the patrolling inquisitor squad. They would have easily disarmed the bumbling group but the interim salmon colored headmistress snatched all of their wands, banishing then to her office.

Hermione made a quick plan and diverted the Rose toad to the forbidden Forrest with false promises of Harry's nefarious intentions. The squad collected everyone but Ginny, Harry, and Hermione as the trio had been led wand pointed at their back to where Hermione led them.

Hermione knew the Centaur's territory well and when she was is proper position she turned to the stuttering woman with whom she had given her wolf permission to get revenge on finally.

Releasing a low growl to call the surrounding centaurs to action. The horrible woman began spouting hate filled speech. Further enraging the wolf, with the mudblood and centaur hate filled speech.

The centaurs circled closer, as she entangled one such beast close to her, but instead of her keeping the upper hand Luna came out of hiding and spelled the centaur free. The centaurs took their chance and carried the horrid woman away screaming the entire way about one hate filled thing after another.

Ginny placed a calming hand on Hermione's cheek looking into her best friends now bright yellow eyes and Luna wrapped an arm around her stomach from behind. Purring she came back to herself from the palpable rage she had dissolved to because of the pink toad. Hermione's wolf had been calmed once again without getting her secret out to her brother.

Harry totally oblivious to the women behind him looked on at the retreating form of the former stand in headmistress.

Luna spoke up first slowly drawing away from Hermione at the same time
