"I need McGonagall." Harry said. "have you seen her?"

"She's at St. Mungo's" I replied.

"Shit. Wait, Margaret you're part of the order! I need your help, Sir-Padfoot has been attacked!" Harry said.

"What's the order?" Katie asked. She had become my closest friend at Hogwarts since the twins left.

"Some dumb thing the twins dragged me into that they created over the summer. I'll be right back. Harry, let's talk about this outside." I dragged him outside the great hall, thinking about how stupid he was to talk about that in front of people. Anyone could have overheard.

"what's this about Sirius?" I asked him. He sounded desperate, so the reprimand will have to come later.

"He's been attacked, I saw it like I did with Ron's dad!"

"Harry, but it could've just been Voldemort putting an image in your head. You stopped your occlumency with Snape, and you were never very good at it beforehand either." Hermione commented. That was news to me.

"You STOPPED YOUR OCCLUMENCY? Harry, that was stupid."

"You knew about that? And I didn't want to stop, Snape just refused to teach me." I respect Snape. I think he's brilliant at potions. But I don't like him as a person. It's like Hope Solo. Amazing, absolutely fantastic goal keeper. One of the best ever. But she had some personal problems. Snape just so happens to hate every fiber of Harry's being, causing some problems.

"Well then I agree with Hermione, Harry. You have no idea if that was real or not. You can't be hasty. You need to be sure that he has Sirius."

"Fine then! I'll use the floo powder to see if he's home!"

"Harry, I don't know about that."

"Please, Margaret. I need to know. Mr. Weasley could have died if it weren't for me. This could be the same thing!"

"Fine. I'll create a distraction. I need to run by the common room first."

I gathered all my supplies. On the way there, we ran into some either people from the DA who wanted to help. Ginny, Neville, and Luna were in charge of making sure no one was around Umbridge's office while I tricked her away. The golden trio would use the floo network to see if Sirius was at Grimmauld place. In theory, this plan should've worked.

But while Umbridge was distracted by a room full of dancing armor and a bunch of filibuster fireworks, a member of the inquisitorial squad entered the room and announced that they had caught the golden trio sneaking into her office. And Ginny, Luna, and Neville were helping them.

"Motherfucker" I whispered from my hiding place. I couldn't let them face this alone. "Enjoying the show, Umbridge?" I asked with a wide smile on my face. I gave her a little chase, but let her catch me. Hopefully by now one of them has a plan. I knew Harry was acting irrationally. Umbridge dragged me to her office where everyone else was tied up.

"Malfoy, get Professor Snape please." Malfoy ran off to get Snape. I realized this was our chance. Snape was part of the order, he would know what was going on. He'd be able to contact Sirius in a much more secure manner than Harry.

Snape arrived, looking annoyed as always. "Ah, Severus. I'm going to need some veritaserum."

"I'm afraid you used the last of that interrogating students last week, Dolores." I knew that was a lie. I saw a whole batch of it just yesterday in his office.

"Fine, can you brew some for me now?"

"It takes a month to brew veritaserum. I'm not nearly done with the process." that's also a lie. There's no wait time for this potion. It's obvious now that Snape does not want Umbridge to know anything Harry knows. I made eye contact with him and Snape silently asked me what was going on. Before I said anything, harry burst out:
