Into The Light (Golden Trio Era) {2}

"So, How Are We Getting to London?"

"Fine," said Hermione, who was now back to crying in her palms, "fine... let them see it, I hope they use it on you! In fact, I wish you'd invite loads and loads of people to come and see! Th-that would serve you right- oh, I'd love it if the wh-whole school knew where it was, and how to u-use it, and then if you annoy any of them they'll be able to s-sort you out!" Umbridge stiffened. She glanced suspiciously at her Inquisitorial Squad, eyes darting from person to person to weed out any hint of disloyalty. Her eyes stopped on Malfoy, his eager grin had not faded fast enough from his face and in that second he was crowned the poster child of potential betrayal in Umbridge's eyes. Umbridge looked back at Hermione, reevaluating her words a little more carefully. "All right, dear, they won't come... just you and me.... and we'll take Potter too, shall we? Get up, now-" she gestured to Harry, most likely because he had his head in the fire. "Professor," said Malfoy keenly, "Professor Umbridge, I think some of the squad should come with you to look after-" "I am a fully qualified Ministry official, Malfoy, do you really think I cannot manage a couple wandless teenagers alone?" snapped Umbridge. "In any case, it does not sound as though this weapon is something that schoolchildren should see. You will remain here until I return and make sure none of these" - she gestured to the rest of the group - "escape." "All right," said Malfoy exhaled disappointedly. "And you can go ahead of me and show me the way," Umbridge waved Harry and Hermione in front of her with her wand. "Lead on..."

Once she knew it was clear, Mikayla and Ron shared a look and a nod. Mikayla waved at Draco, to grab his attention, he looked her disgusted before smirking at her sealed mouth. "If you think I'm going to fix that, you don't know me very well." Mikayla sighed faking acting defeated. Ron reached into his pocket and all Slytherin wands pointed towards him, "what, I'm just getting a sweet, I'm starving." Warrington took the sweets out of Ron's pocket, telling him that he isn't getting any, whilst he did that Mikayla looked at Pansy with a death stare, unknown to her since she was focusing on a thrashing Ginny, Mikayla thought 'Oscausi' as strong as she could. Pansy's mouth-sealed and Mikayla turned her attention to Crabbe, Warrington, Bulstrode and Goyle eating Ron's sweets, next thing they knew the four Slytherins were puking their guts out. Mikayla waved her hand to stop Draco cursing Ron, hitting him with 'Stupefy' and doing the same with Pansy, causing the pair to fly against the walls and be knocked unconscious. The two unconscious Slytherin's landed on their backs in the pool of sick, from the other four. Mikayla used her wand to unseal her mouth before turning to her sister. "We've got to go, find Harry and Hermione, can you get these to the Hospital Wing?" Avery nodded, saluting as she told her sister she was on it.

"Let's go!" Mikayla yelled, she was followed out of the room by Ron, Neville, Ginny and Luna. "Harry had a dream that Voldemort has got my dad in the Department of Mysteries." Mikayla informed them as they ran throughout the castle, "and when I had my vision I saw Fergal O'Brien hit my dad with a Killing Curse, in a room that had a massive Archway. I think it might be a part of the Department of Mysteries." Ron and Ginny shared a looked, that clearly said that they chose the right choice to escape. "Right so, we're going to London to save Sirius." Neville stated, Mikayla smiled at him nodding. "But first we need to find Harry and Hermione." Ginny informed them, Mikayla smiled again at this statement, "I think I know where Hermione brought them." she said as she pointed at the forest, it dawned on Ron where she was insinuating, "Grawp." Mikayla nodded, but as the ran along the bridge they spotted Harry and Hermione running towards the castle.

"How'd you get away?" Hermione asked with a yell at the sight of them, "Puking Pasties, it wasn't pretty." Ginny informed them, "told them I was hungry and wanted some sweets, course they told me to bugger off and ate the lot themselves." Ron informed them as he handed them their wands, "And then Mikayla stunned Draco and Pansy, knocking them unconscious." Ron added at the end, "That was clever Ron." Hermione looked surprised that Ron had come with something that good under pressure. Ron brushed it off, whilst Neville informed them that it was bloody brilliant. "So, how are we getting to London?" Neville questions, everyone turns to look at Harry. "Look, it's not that I don't appreciate everything you've done, all of you. Look, I've gotten you into enough trouble as it is." Harry walked through the group of five, Mikayla was shocked at Harry's words. Neville spoke up, "Dumbledore's Army was supposed to be about doing something that is real or was that all just words to you?" Harry looked back at all the willing people, "Maybe you don't have to do this all by yourself mate." Ron said convincingly. "Harry, I've seen it. You're going to need all the help you can get." Mikayla placed her hand on his shoulder, Harry nodded.

"So, how are we going to get to London?" Harry questioned, Luna smiled, "we fly of course!" everyone turned to the blonde to elaborate, "I don't think we could fly all the way to London on brooms, Luna." Mikayla suggested knowing that Hermione and Neville are nervous fliers. "There are other ways of flying than with broomsticks," Luna spoke surely. Mikayla furrowed her eyebrows, which Luna smile at her odd expression. "We can ride the Thestrals." Mikayla and Hermione shared a knowing look, "of course, Hagrid said that they've got a great sense of direction and with all the blood you two are covered in, we'll be able to attract them." Everyone ran with Mikayla back into the Forbidden Forest, she returned to the clearing that Hagrid had brought the during their lesson, and soon enough Thestrals began to appear.
