~The Slytherin Princess~ Draco Malfoy

T H I R T Y F I V E

Skipping past the rest of the O.W.L.s because this book is going too slowly and I haven't even finished fifth year yet :) still got another two to go. Hopefully fifth year will only take up another two chapters.

Strolling down the corridor leisurely, Adeline hummed; the knowledge of exams finally being over had lifted a huge weight off the teens shoulders and she felt as if she were floating.

"But Harry," Adeline froze suddenly as hushed voices spoke from around the corner, "it's five o'clock in the afternoon. The Ministry of Magic will be full of workers. How would Voldemort and Sirius have gotten in without being seen?" Adeline furrowed her brows at the voice, peeking around the wall Adeline laid her eyes on a familiar trio consisting of a red head boy, an ebony haired boy and a bushy haired girl.

What were they talking about Voldemort for? Surely a bunch of Gryffindors had better things to talk about than the Dark Lord and mass murder Sirius Black. Adeline quickly shook her head, realising she had been spacing out and ignoring the conversation.

"Harry, how on earth could Voldemort have got hold of Sirius when he's been in Grimmauld Place the entire time?" Adeline had to hold her gasp at Granger revealing Sirius Blacks exact location like it was nothing. This man was a murderer, why were the Gryffindors acting like he was their best friend?

"This isn't a criticism Harry..." Granger sighed as she trailed off, almost appearing as if she didn't know weather to continue her sentence, "but you do... you have er... you have sort of a thing for saving people."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Potter snapped angrily, completely out of character for the timid boy. Adeline was taken aback by the harshness in his voice.

"Well, last year. Take the Tournament for example, you didn't need to save that Delacour girl. But, you did." Granger sighed, "look all I'm saying is sometimes you get a bit carried away." Harry's face quickly turned an anger fuelled red and Granger quickly changed her approach, "I mean, it was really great of you and everything. Everyone thought that it was a wonderful thing to do-"

"It doesn't matter Hermione!" Potter yelled, veins sticking out, "they've taken McGonagall to St Mungo's, there isn't anyone from the Order left at Hogwarts. If we don't go, Sirius is dead."

At that moment, Adeline knew she couldn't sit and observe anymore, as the girl attempted to walk away Potter uttered some very useful and relevant information.

"We'll have to use Umbridge's fire and see if we can contact him, we'll draw Umbridge away, but we'll need lookouts, that's where we'll use Ginny and Luna." That's when the Charm knew she had all the information she needed, leaving Potter and his little groupies alone, for now.

Sprinting down the corridor, Adeline finally made it to the Great Hall. The teen rushed over to her friends and quickly filled them in on the situation.

"Potter and his friends are going to break into Umbridge's office and use the floo network to contact someone." Adeline gasped out, grasping a spare bit of parchment and tugging her quill from her pocket. The teen quickly scribbled a note and charmed it so it flew to Umbridge's smug state who was sitting on the headteachers chair.

As the note fluttered in front of the Professor, she looked up at Adeline, eyes wide who only nodded rapidly in return, jerking her thumb to the door. Nodding slowly,  the Charm scrambled from her seat, the rest of the Inquisitorial Squad following suit.
